Standing on the edge of the training ground, listening to the players on the field howling, magate's mouth, hanging a trace of scorn sneer: these guys become relegation team, it's really not a surprise. The training system that I set up here two years ago has been shelved. These guys' training is a mess. No wonder they will become the relegation team this season.
It has been almost a month since taking over the team, and magate, who has gradually resumed the training of the team, is increasingly dissatisfied with these players.
It's not because they can't win. In fact, they won the battle against Frankfurt. However, it was not easy for Wolfsburg to win the battle with Frankfurt. In the 90 minutes of the game, 66% of the ball was controlled and 27 shots were shot, but in the end, it just reversed the score and became a 2-1. In magate's eyes, such a game can not be fully accepted.
He didn't score. He played very well, but he couldn't score. This kind of game also made magate unsatisfied. After returning to Wolfsburg, he has complained more than once. After Wolfsburg left him, the past two years have been really bad. On them, we can no longer see the shadow of the team he coached.
When Dzeko left, misimovich looked gloomy and out of shape. Graffiti is really want to play, but his state, is indeed a serious decline. Wolfsburg, which was full of vitality two years ago, is now dead and silent. Their own cruel training did not destroy them. But after they left, their own relaxation destroyed them.
Basically, there is no possibility for these players to rejuvenate again. Looking at the training, although magate still regards them as the main force of Tieda, in his heart, he is thinking about changing players after the season.
Now Wolfsburg, it's time for a big exchange of blood - sometimes looking at other Wolfsburg players, magate will also turn this idea in his heart. In these days, of course, he is not only thinking about relegation, he is also thinking about how to build a new team. And a lot of players in the team, also let him quite like.
For example, Gao shunyao is such a player.
The name of Gao shunyao was known by magate earlier than other people in Wolfsburg. He was the first German coach to inspect Gao shunyao and the first to think he could try to come to the Bundesliga. However, at that time, he and the management of Schalke were not very happy. The deal did not take shape, and Gao shunyao came to Wolfsburg. What I didn't expect was that they still cooperated.
This player is one of the most satisfied players after Magath returned to Wolfsburg. Litbalski and he recommended this man, and he soon found that in his training, he was one of the few players who could immediately catch up and never complained. The former is good to say, while the latter one, few people can do, which also makes magate look up at him.
He hated players complaining - Bayern said he left a team and the team would have a party to celebrate, which he hated. He believes that really good players don't complain about training. How can training be a nuisance to players?
It's good that Gao shunyao doesn't complain. Can keep up with the training, the implementation of the tactics, do not complain hard, do not conflict with the bench, magate likes such a person. In his opinion, the players can run, can rush and have good health, which is the first step to success. Those who complain that training is too tired are obviously not qualified to succeed.
If Gao shunyao is qualified in this aspect, it is already very good. Moreover, he is not only qualified in this aspect, but also excellent in other aspects, such as consciousness.
He played a big role in the two goals against Frankfurt. Although magate knows in his heart that if his technique is better, it may be two goals, not just to play a role, but for a young man from Asia, he doesn't want to be too demanding. What's more, technology can be practiced. Some of Gao shunyao's advantages are beyond practice. These things are more important than technology.
These things are more obvious in the next competition: in the 29th round, facing Bremen, Gao shunyao played some other advantages.
This game, Wolfsburg is away, their opponent Bremen is stronger than Frankfurt, also let them face a lot of pressure. However, this game, Wolfsburg's luck is quite good, 20 minutes they rely on this chaotic battle, while the chaos scored a goal, early to determine the lead.
Now that we are ahead, the rest is to stick to it. That's what Wolfsburg does for the next 70 minutes. From the front to the back, everyone at Wolfsburg is trying their best to defend. It is also because they have been working hard to defend, so their two strikers manzuki and grafit have won the yellow card.
Magath wants to protect grafit from a suspension for the rest of the game. So this time, he also used Gao shunyao again. To his delight, Gao shunyao also knows what he wants. He didn't think about attacking any more. Instead, he kept rushing forward and back to defend. Although he also got a yellow card, Bremen didn't score a goal after 90 minutes.When you have an advantage, you think about attack. When you don't have an advantage, you devote yourself to defense and do your duty. This attitude is more difficult than technique.
It's not easy to win two games in a row, which also makes magate very satisfied with Gao shunyao: his technique can be practiced, but his attitude is his own. It's more pleasant to have such a good attitude than good technique.
Perhaps, such a player can be used as an important player in the future. It's just that there are some technical conflicts between him and manzuki, so we should think about how to deal with them. In the summer, they should be replaced to ensure their performance
Thinking of this, magate shook his head again. Those are summer things. Before changing blood, I have to make do with this season.
For Wolfsburg, relegation is still a very difficult task. Although magate seems to have made some progress after taking over, it is not so easy to catch up because he is left behind too much.
For example, after winning against Bremen, Wolfsburg didn't win against St. Pauli. This game, they played into a 2-2 draw, although got a point, but the result of the game, compared with the last one more breathtaking.
At the end of the first half of the game, manzuki scored the first goal for the team. However, it was depressing that the team was not able to take advantage of the victory. Instead, in the second half, it was pulled back by the opponent for two consecutive goals.
This home game is worse than the last one. The last time we faced Frankfurt, although we couldn't score, we still had the advantage at home. But this time, it is clear that the home game, against the bottom team, did not have any advantage, the opponent not only in the scene and Wolfsburg fight equally, in the number of shots, more than Wolfsburg.
Relegation team in their home pressure to play, such a game, it is a shame.
Of course, magate has to admit that he has his own responsibility: after seeing Gao shunyao's two consecutive matches, he also wants to try to use more new players. In this game, he replaced both Ozzie and Pollack, and Misimovic was replaced by him. Afterwards, he had to admit that it was a big mistake.
It has been proved that not everyone has such excellent self-knowledge as Gao shunyao, especially the midfield players have higher requirements for the control of the scene, and changing people casually means that they want to die. This game was replaced with a yellow card, he didn't contribute anything. The whole game, he just proved that he really didn't adapt to the game. And his performance almost killed the team. At the crucial moment of relegation, he couldn't play his level. This is a big deal.
The only thing that makes magate happy is that in the final stage of the game, Pollack proved that magate's substitution didn't make all mistakes. At the front of the penalty area, after receiving the return ball from manzuki, he pulled the ball horizontally and found a shooting position by Gao shunyao's horizontal pulling at the same time. In the 89th minute, he scored a goal to level the score for the team. He didn't let the team get a point at the critical moment of relegation.
After two consecutive wins, Wolfsburg still had a draw. Fortunately, after this game, Wolfsburg temporarily returned to the 14th place in the League - since taking over the team, two wins and two draws, the team temporarily escaped from the relegation zone.
However, magate doesn't think it's safe at all: there are still four games left, only four points ahead of 16th place. They may still fall down and return to the relegation zone. It's too optimistic to think it's safe before the last game of the league.
The remaining four opponents are not particularly big, in which Hoffenheim has no desire and will not be too serious, but the other three goals, Kaiserslautern is 1 point higher than Wolfsburg, Cologne is 2 points higher than Wolfsburg, we are likely to demote the team, after meeting, it is difficult not to fight to death.
These teams are all strong opponents - and the most annoying one is not them, but the team we will meet this weekend.
The 31st round of the league is the match between Wolfsburg and Schalke 04. This meeting is of extraordinary significance to magate.
A month ago, he was the coach of Schalke 04. Now, he is the enemy of Schalke 04. The team fired him for no good reason. The charge they set for themselves is that more than 300000 transfers have not been approved by the team. In this world, which famous coach needs the team's approval to sell a person for 300000?
To shalke 04, magate is full of resentment. However, he is even more angry that they even beat Inter Milan to reach the final four of the Champions League. This should have been his honor, but shalke's damned management denied him the chance to lead the team to the top four. Thinking that they fired themselves and led the team to avoid relegation here, but they are going to compete with Manchester United for the final place, magate is also furious.
He would never accept defeat in this game. In any case, he has to prove that he lives better than Schalke.
