As a coach, although magate has always been known as a tyrant, his experience and ability can not be underestimated. He knows when the team needs to be urged and encouraged. After the team does not play well because of carelessness, he will threaten the whole team with punishment. When the team loses because of the national team's energy, he will not force the team to bear unnecessary pressure.
Although he is too tough to do things, the players are very unhappy. Although he doesn't like to maintain the relationship with the players, he doesn't pay attention to propriety. But I have to admit that he can still lead the team forward. He didn't gently encourage the players, but the simple comparison between the Champions League and the losers' Cup has already made the players care about it.
He said the cup of losers, in fact, refers to the Europa League - many big teams look down on the Europa League, such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and other teams do not play the Europa League for many years, Bayern played the Europa League once these years, which is also regarded as a great shame by Bayern. For such a top class team, the Champions League is the only match suitable for their own identity, the Europa League? In the eyes of the top clubs, that's what the losers will fight for.
But the title of the cup of losers can be understood by the giants, but it seems too much for a team like Wolfsburg to call it the cup of losers. They are not top teams like Bayern. At the beginning of the season, their task is to compete for the qualification of European games. Although they have made a big move in winter, they are no longer heading for the Europa League, but it is not in line with their own identity to call them the losers' Cup. For a team like them who were still relegated last season, what's the right to laugh at others as losers?
However, magate said so in front of the team. And his words also made the players very excited: what he didn't reveal in his words is that he has asked for his team according to the standard of the giants. He doesn't like trophies that big teams don't like. For the players, this is no doubt an invisible encouragement. They are also willing to treat themselves as a top player. Under magate's strict requirements, there is a hidden appreciation for the players, and the players will not resent it.
If you want to treat yourself as a top player, you have to give full play to the level of a top player. It's not like a big team should always draw. 0-0 and Kaiserslautern's dull battle can be said to be quite inappropriate. What they should do is to win and use enough wins to write honor for their team.
And they want to win, in the immediately held home game, finally got. In this game, facing Leverkusen, Wolfsburg played very well.
Leverkusen is also one of the German giants, their strength is not weak. Just with Wolfsburg this battle, although they play very well, but Wolfsburg obviously play better. Their enthusiasm is totally different from the last game.
At the beginning of the game, they caught their opponents by surprise. When Leverkusen got the ball in the back court, Gao shunyao immediately began to rush for the guard. The centre back who was harassed by Gao shunyao passed the ball to the side, but at this time, perecic, who had been waiting for the chance, jumped on the ball and grabbed it. He and Gao shunyao were both near the penalty area at this time. This opportunity was no better. However, pericic immediately blocked the ball to the back of the Bayer Leverkusen defense line. Gao shunyao also crossed the opponent's defense line at this time. In the situation of the guard's pursuit and the goalkeeper's attack, he lightly picked the football to the goal and scored Wolfsburg's first goal.
Leverkusen's defeat, and Wolfsburg insisted on a season of anti grab, finally played a role. But Wolfsburg's attack did not stop, their players are in good condition recently, can have the best play, not just a high shunyao.
It's a 45 to the right, and it's a pass from kotuki. This pass is good, and manzuki's treatment is more beautiful, he jumped up, with his shoulder to unload the ball smoothly. The football was lifted by his shoulder, and the track of its fall was very easy to judge. And manzukic also took advantage of this opportunity. After he fell to the ground, he didn't wait for the ball to fall and volleyed it to the goal.
He was standing near the right post, and this shot suddenly turned and shot close to the post. So close to the goal, the other goalkeeper can not defend, football directly into the goal, also let Wolfsburg further consolidate the victory.
It turns out that when Wolfsburg's players have enough physical strength and no worries from the national team, they can play very well. The excellent form of manzuki is the best proof. After beating Leverkusen, they also played Nuremberg on the road. They didn't disappoint.
Wolfsburg away battle, and not in their home when playing so arrogant attack. In the game, they chose a more secure defensive counterattack, rather than blindly attacking. They are defending, and Nuremberg itself did not choose crazy attack, such a choice makes the game scene look a little dull, but Wolfsburg's goal is not bad.In the game, the first to seize the opportunity to score is manzuki. In a Wolfsburg counterattack, Mattic gave the ball to Gao shunyao, who was running in the middle.
Gao shunyao, who got the ball in the front court, is still more than ten meters away from the penalty area, while Nuremberg's defense has begun to shrink at this time. Gao shunyao knew that the counterattack needed speed, and he needed to make the ball move faster. So he gave the ball to manzuki, who was on the line of the penalty area.
At the front of the penalty area, the man who got the ball made a sudden stop to change direction, threw off the defense and smashed the opponent's door with a powerful volley.
The goal was just the beginning. Soon, in another counterattack, Salihamidzic, who played in rotation, made a 2-1 match with manzukic in the restricted area. After a beautiful shot, he expanded the score to 2-0. And his teammates kept scoring, which made Gao shunyao come into shape. Before the end of the game, Wolfsburg in a corner, his head off the door, once again expanded the score.
3-0, Wolfsburg's away win clean.
Two consecutive goals in the game, manzuki and Gao shunyao's state is also completely back. Both strikers are able to score goals one after another, which makes the team very happy. Watching them play better and better, even the team members are amazed.
"Unfortunately, if you play more steadily this season, you may be able to compete for the cannons."
They said that the small steel cannon is the best shooter award of the Bundesliga, their words are undoubtedly a compliment. But, this sentence let two people can only shake their heads and smile bitterly: that kind of thing, they don't want to think about it now, because even if they think about it, it's meaningless.
This season's Huntelaar did not know to draw any wind, he in Schalke goal unceasingly, the efficiency is astonishing. Compared with him, the strikers of other teams in the Bundesliga are all inefficient in scoring goals. Although Wolfsburg play well, their strikers are still far inferior. This is obviously a compliment. Just listen to it.
What's more, Gao shunyao and manzuki all know that they need victory more than cannons.
After Nuremberg, Wolfsburg returned to their home, also ushered in a big win. This time, their opponent is Hamburg, so it's easy to let them win.
Hamburg is not particularly good in the league. Wolfsburg won the first half of the season away from them. Now, with two consecutive league victories, they are playing better at home against Hamburg.
Since the start of the game, Hamburg has been in a defensive state. But their defense, and did not allow themselves to adhere to too long. In 21 minutes, pericic took the lead in breaking Wolfsburg's goal with a long-range shot after getting the ball outside the penalty area, which also officially started the killing of the game.
Wolfsburg's attack is quite efficient, after the goal of pericic, while the other side want to fight back, they have another wave of offensive pressure up. Turan's one foot pass gave manzuki a one-on-one chance in the penalty area. He successfully relied on his explosive power to run out of a vacancy, and then pushed the football into the net.
With two goals, the game has become one-sided. Not long after, when a free kick, Gao shunyao's shot hit the opponent's defender and refracted into the net, which expanded the score again. This is not the end. After the second half, with a corner kick, pericic expanded the score again with a beautiful head ball. But 4-0 score, also let Hamburg completely lose confidence. In a defense, Gao shunyao was put down in the penalty area by Hamburg players, which also let Wolfsburg get the chance of penalty. Pericic scored a penalty, scored a hat trick and turned the game into a massacre.
The 5-0 game proved how good Wolfsburg's attack was. Wolfsburg in the second half of the season, finally began to become strong.
After this round, Wolfsburg climbed to 55 points with a wave of three wins in a row. And this point, also let them rise to the League third place, by two points behind Bayern, by two points ahead of Schalke. Although they have played very well in this period of time, other teams have not relaxed. The opponents behind are biting to death, leaving no chance for them to relax. The competition in the league is still very fierce. If Wolfsburg is careless, they may still fall out of the top four.
There are still seven rounds left in the game. Wolfsburg's opponents also have Dortmund. It's also a tough game, which can be said to be extremely difficult to play. However, with three rounds of winning in a row as the base, Wolfsburg's morale is extremely high: the brave win when they meet in a narrow way. In the last few rounds, it's time to have a final conclusion who will lose and who will win.
At the end of a season, Wolfsburg players know their strength very well, and they also know what position they deserve.
In the top four of the league, this position must be theirs.
