Step by Step to Win

Since Magath can see that this is an opportunity for Wolfsburg, then for both sides on the court, they can also naturally see that a free kick in a good position in front of the penalty area means what it means for Wolfsburg. . After seeing Wolfsburg get a free kick, the Manchester United players quickly made adjustments, arranging a wall in front of the penalty area, wanting to defend this attack.

Throughout the game, neither side found any chances, and the players with faces were absolutely unwilling to lose a ball to their team at this time. No one wants to watch their team lose, especially the Manchester United players. They can't imagine that the underdogs will cut their own face on their home court and keep their team's glory, which is what they want to do.

Turan stood in front of the free kick. He was not eager to kick-off, but looked at the position of his teammates in front of him, taking a deep breath to adjust his mood.

Although for Turan, this is not the first time he has faced a giant, and even a team like Real Madrid and Bayern has encountered Wolfsburg. However, it is impossible to say that playing at Old Trafford is not nervous, and he still cannot calm down before taking this free kick.

However, one of the biggest advantages of good players is that they can quickly restore their mentality when facing a strong team. Although Manchester United is very famous, but looking at his teammates on the field, Turan is also full of confidence. His teammates are no worse than the opponent's players, at least from what we see now: Gao Shunyao is standing near the far post in the penalty area. Olic stood near the near post. Above the left road, Perisic is cruising, and may be inserted into the restricted area at any time. Kayar standing near the penalty spot and next to the wall can also cope with unexpected needs. Even Shaheen is standing in front of the penalty area, ready to shoot at any time, every one of them. They all stood in their respective positions, and they were well prepared.

This made Turan's confidence greatly increased: strictly speaking. Turan is not a very good free kicker, but he has the best skills among the Wolfsburg players, so he usually plays the set kicks. And without Beckham's footwork, Turan also knows that he needs the help of his teammates. Seeing that the teammates are in their positions. He will naturally be quite satisfied.

Based on the position of the teammates alone, the chance of scoring this ball can be expanded by 20%.

Thinking about this in his heart, Turan also stepped back a few steps, and the opponent's wall was right in front of him, but his footsteps were unusually steady.

Step back, run up, kick the ball!

Turan raised his leg. The moment the ball was kicked out, Manchester United's man wall also jumped up at this time: the position of the set ball is very good. Behind them is Gao Shunyao standing at the back point. There is a tall center on the opposing team, and as long as he is not an alternative like Crouch, there is a great chance of winning for this header.

The position is good enough for Turan to kick the ball through the wall and send it to the back point, and there is a great possibility of hitting the goal. Vidic is now responsible for marking Gao Shunyao at the back point. If it were him a few years ago, then Gao Shunyao might have no chance at all. But now Vidic? It's too untrustworthy.

Vidic is not what he used to be when he is not forgiving. In the face of this kind of ball, his confrontation may not be able to win. The wall had to jump, because in any case, they could not let Gao Shunyao in the penalty area take the ball easily: De Gea is not a master at defending set kicks, Gao Shunyao got the opportunity to set the ball, Manchester United's efforts in the whole game may be It was in vain.

Their defense is quite good, and they are also confident enough to block Turan's high-altitude pass. However, the moment Turan kicked the ball, the players on the volleyball wall suddenly understood what they had done wrong.

The reason why they realized this is also very simple. As soon as they kicked the ball, Turan’s ankle shook suddenly. The football was not kicked into the air by him and flew backwards, but kicked directly against the ground. Going out and galloping towards Shaheen in front.

This is not a high-altitude pass. Turan never thought of passing the ball to Gao Shunyao. The real killer of Wolfsburg is Shaheen who is waiting for the opportunity to plug in in front of the penalty area!

Obviously, Wolfsburg's set-kick tactics are not as simple as the Manchester United players imagined. Although they have a good high center, they only rely on the height of the center to play high-altitude ball cooperation. This style of play is still too small for Wolfsburg's positioning tactics. After all, this is one of the few controllable opportunities for Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg will not be so adventurous. Vidic is indeed very old, but no matter what, he still has a great chance of winning. For him to compete with Gao Shunyao, what Wolf Castle hopes more is to use a more secure set-piece tactic to win.

This is what they do now: When Turan passed the ball to Shaheen's feet, Shaheen took the ball and swept across the wall. At this time, Perisic and Gao Shunyao were running at the same time. One of them pulled Raphael away from the side road, and the other was to affect Vidic. Together, they also opened the space in the penalty area. . In front of Shaheen, Wolfsburg found a quick way to go straight to the goal. Relying on the movement of the players in the penalty area, Shaheen opened up a gap in front of him!

opportunity!

The clamor suddenly rang out, and even the fans could see what a terrible opportunity this was. Shaheen's reputation in playing in the Bundesliga is not small, and his long shots have always been one of his proud skills, allowing him to get the ball in front of the penalty area. This is the most terrible thing!

Manchester United's goal is facing an unprecedented crisis.

However, Manchester United is Manchester United after all. Of course, their defensive ability is more than that. At this time, Smalin rushed up from the back point and blocked the shooting line!

De Gea just stood a little closer to the right post in order to defend Gao Shunyao's header, and Kongdang was always near the left post. But at this moment, Smalin immediately took a step forward and just blocked Shaheen's shot line, trying to hinder his shot!

Smallin's plug in, it can be said to be just right. After all, although Shaheen got a chance, it was still a long-range shot. Long shots are different from hitting empty doors, in any case the chances are much lower. Shaheen may have good shooting skills, but it is also impossible for him to make a shot at the front of the penalty zone. Especially when someone interferes with the shooting line, it is impossible for him to have a big chance of shooting.

From the perspective of blocking Shaheen's shot, Smalin's choice can be said to be not at all wrong. However, he has forgotten that Shaheen does not necessarily have to shoot.

Although Shaheen has no experience playing in Real Madrid, when many people mention him, they will always subconsciously think that he is not the material of a rich team player. But even so, it is undeniable that Shaheen is still a fairly comprehensive player. He is not the Premier League midfielder converted from an inside forward who knows nothing but a burst shot. He is a very organizing player. In addition to shooting, he can pass the ball.

Smalin did block his shooting line, but at this time, Shaheen suddenly stopped, instead of taking advantage of the momentum to shoot directly, but to pick a pass and kick the ball into the empty space behind Smalin!

Smallin plugged in, and there was naturally a gap behind him. At this moment, Olic had been waiting there for a long time. Because of the continuous pull, there are no Manchester United defenders around him. Now he can deal with this header in the most calm way!

The attack of Wolfsburg showed its full picture to people at this time. Turan, Gao Shunyao, Shaheen, Olic, the four of them in a quadrilateral position near the penalty area, became their best cooperation to break through the opponent's defense. One guise is followed by another guise, one pull is followed by another pull, a tall center is used to open the gap, the midfielder dribbles the ball to force the opponent to make a mistake, and then after the mistake, the open player shoots—— Wolf Castle's set-piece coordination is more complicated, more detailed, and more deadly than others have seen.

Standing at the back point, Olic jumped high. He is 34 years old. If he is really able to compete with a strong young man like Smalin, he will hardly have a chance to win. However, he can do very well when no one is fighting for the top.

He saw De Gea moving towards this side, and he also saw Smalin's horrified expression turning his head back, but Olic had no success in his heart at this time. There is also no guilt of trickery. For him, this is an attack, once he has made countless simple attacks.

With a light header, the football was pushed by him in the upper corner of the goal next to him. The football flies so briskly, and De Gea's rescue is beyond reach. This time with a beautiful cooperation, Wolfsburg completely surpassed Manchester United in tactics. This goal is definitely not something De Gea can stop!

1-0!

The football was pushed into the goal by Olic, and the whole Old Trafford seemed to explode all at once. Manchester United fans can’t accept it. This is their home court. What they encounter is just a little-known team. But right here, they turned out to be the backward one!

The conservative tactics, the ugly situation, and the bad scenes can't be exchanged for a victory. What does this coach do?

The anger of Manchester United fans seemed to be completely ignited at this time. But in this anger, the players of Wolfsburg are extremely excited. The anger of the other party is not a bad thing for them. In fact, they really hope to see the anger of the other side a lot. The anger of the opponent can only show that they are strong. What is it that makes people more happy than their own strength? (To be continued)
