Chapter 266

My defense is improved, the strength of the team, can become stronger. Wolfsburg's draw with Augsburg didn't make them feel anything wrong, because they know that this game is of great significance to their team's future.

This truth was soon verified, because after the game with Augsburg, Wolfsburg also ushered in a strong opponent in its own home.

Werder Bremen, one of the top teams of the season. So far, they are also a team with points close to Wolfsburg. Their strength is not weak, but also good luck, in the face of Wolfsburg, it is clear that the away battle of Bremen, but launched a fierce attack in the beginning, but also received the effect, is even more surprising.

This season, Wolfsburg's home game record is very good. Although they are some away worms, but the home is absolutely a one-stop performance. Wolfsburg at home has a good record. Apart from Bayern, no team can beat them in Wolfsburg, which is also the reality of this season.

However, this game, Werder Bremen with their football, Wolfsburg home to add some stains. Opening goal, making Wolfsburg game just started, has fallen into the disadvantage.

In order to turn the situation around, Wolfsburg had to make tactical adjustments and enhance their offensive. However, their offensive has not been fully opened. Bremen's counterattack successfully conquered Wolfsburg again.

Wolfsburg have never been behind 2-0 this season. It turns out that no matter how well they have played at home in the past, as long as the team is not serious enough, they will still face difficulties. In the face of Augsburg, Wolfsburg deliberately trained their defense, but even so, they were scored twice by Werder Bremen. It's hard for them to imagine that if they didn't pay attention to defense in these days, would they be slaughtered by their opponents at home?

That's unimaginable - in fact, it's the score that makes Wolfsburg's players feel extremely shameful and their attack is even more fierce.

Under the unremitting attack, manzuki first scored a goal for the team. At the beginning of the match with Dortmund, he has not scored in three rounds, but in this round, he has found his form.

On the left side of the road in a pericic got the ball, he broke through the left side to the ground position, a foot pass, kicked the ball into the middle. Gao shunyao, who ran up from him, didn't catch the ball, but let it leak from behind him. In the middle of the road, manzukic stopped when he stepped forward. He took a step back and found the football line. He shot directly with his left foot and scored the ball into the goal.

Pelicic's pass, Gao shunyao's cover and running, plus manzuki's beautiful escape, the goal, three people do very well.

And this ball, it's just a point back. And then, Gao shunyao is not willing to lag behind, made his own goal.

Compared with manzuki, Gao shunyao's strength is not as good, but there are some opportunities that he can grasp very well. This time, Wolfsburg's goal was easier. After Salihamidzic's corner kick, Gao shunyao, who was standing near the post, ran forward two steps directly and got the landing point in one step. He got rid of the guard and at the same time directly threw his head to attack the goal for Wolfsburg.

His goal made Wolfsburg level the score, but this goal is also the final goal of Wolfsburg's game. The first two goals were behind, the debt was too big, Wolfsburg failed to score again, and they only got a home draw they didn't want.

Their home performance has become less attractive.

The unexpected draw by Bremen made Wolfsburg only lose to Bayern in the past half of the season and cast a shadow on the home result of winning all other games. However, for Wolfsburg, this may not or may not reduce their pressure burden. After all, it's invisible pressure for players to always think about how good their home court is. It's also daunting to want to maintain their honor in the game.

What's more, just losing to Bayern, after this round, it doesn't look like an honor. Because in this round, Bayern also lost.

Their own home game, lost to Dortmund, making the top team's reputation, is not so loud. Although up to now, they are still ahead of Dortmund, but they have lost their opponents at home, which makes people generally think that in the second half of the season, I'm afraid they still have to give up the championship.

The reason is very simple, you can see from their Champions League results. Bayern played very well in the Champions League, qualified as the first in the group, it is estimated that they will go a long way. Dortmund's result in the Champions League was astonishing. After the sixth World War, they left the Champions League at the bottom of the group and got rid of the task of the European war.

There is always a gap between single line operations and double line operations. Wolfsburg and the next game, also proved this truth.

After being drawn by Bremen, Wolfsburg's opponent is Hannover. Last season, Hannover reached the top five of the league and got the chance to play in the Europa League. This season, they are also fighting on the two fronts, and the opponents in the group are Copenhagen and Standard Liege, which makes them very important. The two-line combat has brought them great burden, which makes them have no advantage in the face of Wolfsburg.This away game is probably the most beautiful one Wolfsburg has played in the past half a season. In the face of physical shortage of Hanover, although it is away, but Wolfsburg play is impressive. The strength gap between the two sides is not too big, Hanover can still use the home advantage to resist the attack of Wolfsburg, but in the second half of the game, they did not have enough ability to continue to fight with Wolfsburg.

Manzuki once again successfully opened the record for Wolfsburg. This time, he took advantage of a free kick to win in the penalty area. Although the layout of Hanover's human wall is very good, and manzuki's snatching is not easy, he is still able to take the lead in the competition and get a goal for the team.

Players with quality can always score goals. In contrast, it's more difficult for players with less strength to score goals in a row. Gao shunyao also tried to score a goal in this game, so that his number of away goals also increased. Unfortunately, his attempt did not go as well as manzuki. Once he got the ball near the penalty area, he suddenly broke through to the side with one foot and successfully got rid of the defense. However, even after getting rid of it, his feet were slipping and he couldn't control the football and made the ball bigger.

He suffered a lot from the lack of technology. Fortunately, this opportunity has not been wasted. Pelicic, who was inserted on the flank, was very close to Gao shunyao at this time. Gao shunyao's lost ball was directly controlled by him, and then a beautiful push made Gao shunyao's mistake become an assist.

One person's efforts, there may be mistakes, but everyone helps each other, which will definitely form a good atmosphere for everyone in the team to strive to be the first.

After 16 rounds, Wolfsburg are no longer afraid of the first away game, which can be said to be their biggest harvest in half a season.

With a little comfort, Wolfsburg in their home, ushered in the first half of the season and Stuttgart's final battle. This time at home, they are no longer as careless as they were against Werder Bremen. This game, Wolfsburg did not give opponents any opportunities, they also rely on their own home rather conservative play, won the game.

In this game, Wolfsburg only scored 1-0. The goal for Wolfsburg was to break through the area near the penalty area in a breakthrough. The team's chief right back has been trying to support Salihamidzic this season, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to score goals. In this game, after a side attack, he successfully reached the forbidden area, and then, with a long-range shot, he broke Stuttgart's gate.

1-0, this score is not so beautiful, but for Wolfsburg, it has already let them get the three points they need.

After beating Stuttgart, Wolfsburg finished 17 games in half a season, 10 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. Wolfsburg ranked fifth in the league with 33 points and ushered in the winter break with this result.

The points and rankings are basically the same as magate's requirements. If Wolfsburg can maintain such a winning rate in the second half of the season, they will probably be able to guarantee that they can play in Europe next year. Last season's relegation team, this season has played like this, is also quite good.

However, magate is obviously not satisfied with the only European war. After the team ranked fifth in the league with 33 points, he naturally thought about how to rise to the top four position in the league.

Fourth and fifth, it seems to be a point difference, but the gap is very huge. One played in the Champions League and the other played in the Europa League. There is a big difference between these two games. People on earth all know it.

If possible, he certainly wants Wolfsburg to play in the Champions League.

And how to play in the Champions League? In addition to the efforts of the current players, Magath also has some plans of his own.

Wolfsburg and Dortmund in the World War I, showed two weaknesses. One is that their defense is not good, and the other is that their midfield control is not enough. There is no real organizational core. It all depends on the control of Salihamidzic. Wolfsburg's midfield control is limited after all, which is also the problem they have to solve.

This problem is not as easy to solve as the defense. Defense can rely on cooperation, but technology does not rely on cooperation. Since this period of time, magate has not mentioned this problem, but in his heart, he also has a solution.

It's winter break time, we can bring in players - when we need good players, what is easier than bringing in players?
