Wolfsburg's lead was ended by Dortmund at the end of the first half. Dortmund showed their unyielding will and excellent fighting strength in front of Wolfsburg. Compared with last season, they have improved a lot. They are not fools who only know how to attack. In the face of strong teams, they have more flexibility and tactical arrangements. It is precisely because of these tactical arrangements that Dortmund's strength has become stronger.
This season, Dortmund can advance to the Champions League knockout match as the first in the group, it is not relying on luck, their strength is quite desirable. Dortmund's mind can not be underestimated when he knows how to use different tactics to deal with Wolfsburg.
However, although the score was equalized, but after the game reached midfield, magate's look was not any uneasy. On the contrary, for Dortmund's tactical arrangement, he seemed to be quite happy in the dressing room.
At half-time, in the dressing room, he couldn't wait to tell the players his tactical ideas.
"If the counterattack is Dortmund's tactics, then we will win this game. Counterattack Tactics play is the opponent unprepared, but we are not the main attack side, so Dortmund's chances are not many
"Of course, I don't think Dortmund will continue to lure the enemy in the second half - they have just gone through a big fight, their physical strength is limited, and they can't compete with us indefinitely. They are likely to be on the defensive in the second half and we won't have a lot of chances, but I believe we will win when there is no chance
Magat commented on the tactical changes. He is acutely aware that if both sides are playing the idea of defensive counterattack, then this game will soon become a boring battle that no one is willing to attack. Dortmund lack of physical strength, Wolfsburg away battle, they were on both sides of the opponent's counterattack into the ball, then in the second half, naturally, no one is willing to do the first attack.
However, in Magat's view, such a situation is favorable for Wolfsburg.
"We can't compete with Dortmund in attack. If the other side doesn't attack, we have an advantage. Dortmund is not necessarily better than us in defense and counterattack. Don't forget, set pieces are an important part of defensive counter attack tactics, and this part is our advantage
Magate said that Wolfsburg has advantages. Naturally, it's not aimless. When he realized that both sides would be on the defensive, he immediately thought of Wolfsburg's biggest advantage: set pieces.
One of Wolfsburg's biggest advantages is their air superiority. Once they have the air superiority, a team in the set pieces will have a great advantage.
This truth, magate is very clear, all the time, he also attaches great importance to Wolfsburg's set pieces tactics. It's just that the tactics of set pieces need a very good cooperation. Last season, Wolfsburg team was newly created. They dare not play like this in the face of Dortmund, but this season, they have no reason not to try.
And if they don't try, they really have no way to go.
In the second half of the game, after the kickoff of both sides, as magate said, no one had any attack. Although counter attack tactics are easy to use, it will make the game extremely ugly, which is also an indisputable fact. Both sides are afraid of each other. On the match field, the two teams also played in a stalemate. For a moment, no one had any decent attack.
Faced with such a situation, Wolfsburg just don't want to attack with set pieces. After all, in all the ways of attack, if you want to break the intensive defense, the set piece is one of the best offensive weapons. Wolfsburg's set pieces, also after a long time of training. Magate has always been very clear that when facing a strong team, what he is most afraid of is that the strong team should not face him and play against him. Therefore, he has made plans on how to solve this problem.
As an old fox, magate has a lot of experience. The other side's targeted tactics may not be able to turn into his own trap. He is very clear about this.
after he got the football again, Gao shunyao hardly considered it. A long-range shot blew the ball out. What he wanted was not necessarily a long-range shot, even if there was a corner, it was very good.
Dortmund's tactical change is very good, but Wolfsburg also found a way to deal with it, and soon, Wolfsburg also seized the new opportunity.
When one of pericic's forward, in the face of intensive defense, he kicked the ball on sobotic's body to pop the bottom line, and also earned a corner for Wolfsburg again. Turan stands on the corner and kicks the ball out. Dortmund's penalty area is also in chaos immediately!
Wolfsburg's header attack has always been a clear division of labor, Gao shunyao in the front point, manzuki in the back point, this is their consistent tactics. This kind of tactical distribution, encountered many teams have a very good effect, but this time against Dortmund, so play obviously no effect.
Dortmund's two defenders are quite tall, their overall tactics are also very good, the defense is very tight. Their defense is a combination of man-to-man and regional defense. There are close watch players around the two high centers. It's not so easy for them to score easily.The football flew into the restricted area. Gao shunyao received the ball under the pressure of Su botic. However, under the confrontation, his header was quite weak. Weidenfeller hit the football with two fists directly.
The football flew out to the midfield and out of the box. The one who gets the ball is a long-range shot. He wants to kick the ball into the box again, even if it doesn't create confusion. But the football hit bender, who was withdrawing from the penalty area. Before he got into the area, it went straight to the side.
Both Rong and bender rushed to the football at the same time, trying to control the football again, but at this time, the football fell at the foot of Turan, who had finished the corner and was running back, with no one around to watch!
Standing on the right side of the road, Turan also suddenly found that after he got the ball, there was no one around to grab the ball. Bender and schmilzer are not close to him and can't rush to him in the first place. Within three meters around him, there was not even a distractor. After he got the football, he could do whatever he wanted.
This discovery made Turan immediately understand what happened. He saw the rushing bender and immediately understood what he should do. He didn't control the football any more. He wanted to make some beautiful passing moves. Standing on the right side of the field, he swung his thigh and kicked the ball into the penalty area with a long diagonal pass!
Just now Wolfsburg in order to fight for the header, tall players gathered near the goal, and in order to defend, Dortmund's players are also very tight. This kind of intensive backcourt lineup, no matter how good the breakthrough technology meets, it will be a headache. Why try it? It's easier to pass a long ball than to break through.
After all, Wolfsburg's biggest advantage is that they have so many high points.
Football across the air, fell directly into the restricted area, and originally wanted to participate in the back defense of Gao shunyao and manzuki, once again rushed to the back court. Their two men's impact, let Dortmund's back line also rushed back together, in a chaos, everyone together to welcome the falling football.
Several people together into the air, and this time, in the air war, Gao shunyao has the upper hand. Maybe it's because of the power of the forward impact run-up, maybe it's because of occupying a better take-off position, maybe it's because of the consistent defense of the two defenders of the other side. After this take-off, Gao shunyao didn't encounter any interception in the air. Moreover, his take-off height is two ends higher than that of soubertic.
At this height, if he can't get another header, he won't have to mix!
The short moment of twisting waist, twisting body, shaking head and Gao shunyao staying in the air is enough for him to complete all these movements. When the football fell from his slant, Gao shunyao had already done all the shooting. Football was a powerful head flick by him, and it flew directly to the top left corner of the goal. No matter the strength or speed, it didn't give weidenfeller any possibility of blocking!
The football grazed the post and went straight into the net. This shot was almost impeccable!
The ball is in!
As soon as the football entered the net, Gao shunyao, who had just landed on the ground, jumped up again. Football scored the net, the team led again, let him also excitedly waved his fist - Dortmund even if the tactical arrangement is no matter how smart, but with this goal, the victory still belongs to Wolfsburg!
Ecstasy filled his heart at this time, but it was at this time that the sharp whistle sounded.
Around the fans had some scattered voice, at this time merged into a surprise call. The excited Gao shunyao turned his head and found that the referee was standing on the sideline.
His decision, can only represent one thing - the ball offside.
The linesman decided that Gao shunyao was offside at the moment of passing the ball.
"It's impossible. I was definitely not offside just now!"
In fact, Gao shunyao is not clear about whether he is offside. Just now, the competition between the two sides was very fierce, and their running position was also a bit disordered. Although it was instinctive for them to try their best to avoid being about as a shooter, he did not dare to say whether their anti offside work was perfect.
But I'm not sure, and he would never say that. He would rather believe that he had never been offside. Only if he is not offside can the ball be effective and Wolfsburg win.
However, looking at the referee's expression, Gao shunyao's heart gradually cooled down. Can I really appeal successfully? It also left him without any confidence.
Compared with waiting for shooting opportunities, waiting for the referee's decision, it seems more painful.
