Step by Step to Win

Chapter 408: Salvation

When Mandzukic's shot successfully captured Manchester United's gate, the entire stadium was cheering for their striker. A few days ago, Mandzukic’s poor performance made Wolfsburg lose hope in the league on the same stadium. However, when he scored this time, the fans had long forgotten the past. For this goal, their cheers are still very loud.

Standing on the court, Mandzukic also looked extremely excited. During this period of time, the team gave up the league, although this can be said to be the result of long-term accumulation, but he has always deeply blamed himself for it. He always felt that if he had scored a goal in the first time, maybe Wolfsburg would not face the current situation. He believed that the problem with Wolfsburg was caused by him. For this, his psychological pressure has always been great.

But at this time, listening to the cheers of the fans, he also knows that the fans are still full of love for him. In the eyes of the fans, the mistakes he made are not worth mentioning compared to what he has done for the team. No fan will be dissatisfied with Mandzukic at this time. No matter what mistakes he has made, as long as he can score for the team, fans will still like him.

Such things made Mandzukic extremely happy, and even his psychological pressure was much smaller at this time.

In fact, the total psychological pressure of these words is originally unnecessary. Players have missed key goals in the game, which is not a big deal in football. Any striker has ever missed a goal. Compared with those, fans are more concerned about the players' contributions rather than mistakes. Sometimes, fans know more about things than anyone else. They understand the difference between being unable to do so and unwilling to contribute. They know that they should cheer for those who stand with them, even if they are slightly weaker.

In fact, for the fans, what really hurts their behavior is that the players are not loyal enough and the players are passive. The players don’t play hard enough and other things, compared with those. One or two games did not play well, this is not a big deal at all. Gao Shunyao also fell into a downturn at the beginning of the season, but when his low tide passed. The fans will still cheer for him. And now Mandzukic is the same, fans will remember the brilliance of his goals, and will not care about his failures.

People will only remember that in the game against Manchester United, Mandzukic's goal allowed Wolfsburg to take a 1-0 lead. This glorious moment is enough for the fans.

after all. This goal is very important for Wolfsburg. Although the score of 1-0 is not a great result, it doubled Manchester United at home and away and qualified for the Champions League as the first in the group. For Wolfsburg, it is a rare good result. For a team of average strength like Wolfsburg, encountering a strong opponent in the Champions League may cause them to fall into the sand in advance, and to avoid the strong enemy, there is hope of promotion. Last year they avoided strong opponents by relying on the group's first place, in the game against the Portuguese Super League team. Successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. If this year can advance to the quarter-finals like last year, for Wolfsburg. It is also good news.

Half the season is about to pass, and Wolfsburg's results are not very happy. The league lost hope early. The Champions League is the only stage to prove themselves. Only by playing well on this stage can they prove that they still have strength as Bundesliga champions. This is important for the team and the players: Wolfsburg is not a giant, and the Bundesliga is not allowed to have a local team. If a team wants to develop and compete for honor, it needs to attract the attention of more good players. Achievement is essential, and players who want to develop well also need to prove themselves through performance, which is also essential. The Champions League game is extremely important to them. For them, this is the best way to become stronger.

Today, they clearly did. Mandzukic's goal allowed them to successfully lead Manchester United. At least Mandzukic has proved at this time that his strength has not yet declined, he can still score goals, even if he has encountered a trough, he can still get up.

After an empty goal, he opened the scoring against a strong team-such a goal is undoubtedly the best redemption. And this kind of salvation brings hope to the team, and he deserves any cheers at this time.

The cheers of Wolfsburg were ringing for him at this time, and their forwards once again cast a victory for the team with wonderful goals, which is more important than anything for the fans.

And listening to the cheers of the Wolfsburg fans, and then look at the strikers in your team, the fans of Manchester United can only be depressed at this time.

Like the striker of Wolfsburg, Rooney just staged a shameful scene in the game. However, unlike Mandzukic, if you want to see him regain his strength and score again to complete the redemption, then I don't know when to wait. Manchester United fans know this well, and the two strikers at Wolfsburg have experienced a downturn, but they all played well and differently in this game. Their strikers were in a downturn before, and here After that, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the status back.

At least, for this game, Manchester United fans have little hope.

As England's number one star, Rooney's performance in this game is indeed worthy of his honour. Mandzukic is much less famous than he is able to redeem himself, but Rooney just couldn't do this, which made the fans also depressed.

However, this kind of thing does not seem to be unexpected. After all, Rooney, Mandzukic, and Gao Shunyao are completely different.

Whether it is Gao Shunyao or Mandzukic, they all started from low-level and low-level leagues in their careers. Although they relied on their talents and abilities to achieve the same position as the main striker in the four major leagues, in the process, they all encountered countless setbacks: let alone, Gao Shunyao didn't get himself until last year. Mandzukic’s first league title was this year and suffered a serious injury. Their careers have never been smooth sailing, and if they want to get to this point, they need to work hard in the process to achieve results.

In contrast, Rooney's career is so smooth. Since his debut, he has been the darling of all England. The talents revealed at a young age attracted the attention of the whole of Europe, and he was recognized as the core of England in the future. Entering the giants, meeting famous marshals, and becoming teammates with the world's top players, the champion is soft, honorable, fame and fortune, and his honor is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But it is precisely because of these honors that he is not as good as the grassroots striker of Wolfsburg. Compared with Gao Shunyao and others, Rooney’s progress is not the result of his own efforts to a large extent. After his talents are shown, the media, coaches, and the team will guide him forward. Unlike Gao Shunyao and the others, who were sailing against the current, there was always no lack of guidance and care during his advancement. Moyes’s cultivation of him in his early years, and Manchester United Ferguson’s supervision of him are all important factors for his success, not to mention the praise of him by the English media, which is also a major reason for his status. He has always lived in these. The adversity encountered by Gao Shunyao and others has never been related to him.

Because of this, he lacks the ability to face adversity. In the past, he always grew up under Ferguson's wings. He didn't need to face adversity and naturally lived well, but after Ferguson had retired, that was another matter.

Without Ferguson, who can continue to beat Rooney? Without Ferguson, who would continue to urge him and forbid him to neglect training? Without Ferguson, who will arrange tactics so that he can give full play to his strengths and cover his shortcomings? Without Ferguson, who can make him obey orders and complete the work that should be done?

These things can hardly be done by a second person. And once these are not possible, Rooney will naturally be unconstrained. For a long time, Rooney is not a player who is known for his dedication and strict requirements on himself ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Without constraints, he will only become crazy. And madness is a precursor to death, and this is also an undeniable thing.

It is true that Moyes was his coach. But now Rooney is a star with a weekly salary of 300,000 a week, which is very different from his earlier salary of £80. He may have been obedient once, and perhaps he is still polite to Moyes, but in the bottom of my heart, it is impossible for him to have the same awe of Ferguson. Ferguson's status in his growth process is irreplaceable, I am afraid that no matter who is replaced to coach Manchester United, Rooney will not be able to return to the Ferguson era.

Unlike the players on the Wolfsburg side who have experienced a downturn, eager to go upstream, and look forward to self-salvation, Manchester United's players have experienced too many advantages, and now they have lost supervision and are rapidly degenerating.

This is a very important blow to Manchester United. By extension, thinking about the psychological changes of other Manchester United players after Ferguson retired, it is understandable why their performance has plummeted. Maybe Manchester United's players are still those people, but their mentality has long been different.

This is the worst situation for Manchester United, but it is the best situation for Wolfsburg. Manchester United's weakness represents the opportunity for Wolfsburg at this time. 1-0 is not enough after all, and Wolfsburg’s offense will not end there. (To be continued)
