Chapter 328

The first half of the season, Wolfsburg's all achievements, the most proud thing is to get the Champions League group first. Among the three fronts, the German Cup promotion is just what it should be. A team like them should not have been eliminated in the first round. The League second can only be said to be unsatisfactory, their points should have a better ranking. Compared with these, the Champions League may be the only game that makes them happy. After all, they won the first place in the group in the Champions League, which is not an easy honor.

As everyone knows, the Champions League has been moving towards class division step by step over the years. With the globalization and commercialization of football becoming more and more serious, the gap between the rich and the poor is becoming larger and larger, the rich and the poor are not new. It's terrible to have a powerful team. The top four every year are what they should be. But the weak brigade new division is difficult to advance, the arduous trek, does not have the achievement, this kind of situation is not uncommon in the Champions League.

Wolfsburg in the Champions League, can only be regarded as a weak new division. At least compared with those teams with fans all over the world, they are just a small team in the Bundesliga, absolutely weak. Many of their teams have played in the Champions League for the first time this year, and they are really new teachers.

It's not easy to play in the Champions League, especially for the new players who haven't played in the Champions League before. Last year's Borussia Dortmund and this year's Montpellier are all the League champions. No matter how many heroes in the league are, they are also a mess in the Champions League. It's even more interesting to talk about the humiliation of local giants such as Manchester City in the Champions League. It's a mystery that has not been solved. Compared with them, it's not easy for Wolfsburg to get the first place in the group in their first year in the Champions League.

However, this kind of pride is not something that can last for a long time after all: after all, the group stage is only a stage type result. Compared with the group stage, the knockout stage is more eye-catching. When winter comes, the draw for the Champions League knockout is also held at this time. Who will Wolfsburg encounter in the Champions League? This question has an answer.

The Bundesliga has a short schedule and a long winter break. The first half of the season in the Bundesliga is over by the time of the Champions League draw. But the holiday is not equal to complete relaxation, as football players, they naturally would not ignore this year's Champions League draw. When drawing lots, Gao shunyao also paid close attention to the whole process. At that time, he always hoped that his team could draw a weak team.

Although Wolfsburg's main goal is not to win the Champions League, they are satisfied to enter the knockout stage. Facing those real world top giants, they know they are not rivals. However, if we can take two more steps forward, Wolfsburg players will naturally be very happy. If you can draw a team that is not too strong and enter the top eight, why not?

Especially in this year, it is impossible to encounter a strong opponent: this year's Champions League is not popular, with Chelsea out of the group as the Champions League champion, becoming the biggest surprise, while Manchester City has encountered a small group with Real Madrid and Ajax, and also out of the group as early as last year, which makes this rich team lose face . It's not only the poor performance of the Premier League, but also the long-standing weakness of Serie A. this year, Napoli didn't enter the Champions League, which greatly reduced the competitiveness of the league. Because there is a group at the bottom of the French champions league, there is also no good achievement. Among the five major leagues, three of them are quite miserable.

By contrast, the Bundesliga is still the best. Their four teams have all reached the last 16 of the Champions League as the first in the group, which is enough to make the Bundesliga proud - this year's first in the group, in addition to the Bundesliga, other first in the group are Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juve. The names of these teams are enough to make Gao shunyao very satisfied with his team. Eight Champions League group first, basically four major league's ban Ba all arrived, can juxtapose with them, naturally also lets the human be very proud.

It's just that when it comes to drawing lots, there won't be much left. Looking at the names of the second members of the group, Gao shunyao also found that it was not so easy for Wolfsburg to go further.

There are also strong teams in the second group. The two most powerful teams are naturally Arsenal and Paris - Arsenal are pushed to the second group by Wolfsburg. They play like this, which has a lot to do with injuries. Paris suffered from Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, and the competition of the death group was fierce. To a large extent, it can be said that it was a crime of non war. These two teams are powerful, and the first team in the group is not inferior, so they are naturally the most terrible enemies.

The next big rivals are AC Milan, Porto, Valencia and Ajax. After all, AC Milan used to dominate the world. Even now they are in the doldrums because they have no money. But after all, their names are still there. Porto is the top player in the Portuguese Super League. As one of the most notorious black shops, Porto has a lot of good players. Although they pay less attention, their strength is not bad at all. Valencia as a La Liga team, although they have been suppressed by two big class tyrants for a long time, they can't see the shadow of the top two in the league, but their strength is still there. The La Liga team is quite powerful in Europe, which is absolutely different from Manchester City. AJAX is also a declining aristocrat, but in the past two years, it is said that they have carried out a lot of reforms, and seem to have made some improvement - such a team has a solid foundation. If you meet them, it's not easy to play.The six teams, Wolfsburg met which are not sure to win. Therefore, in the draw, Gao shunyao has been hoping that Wolfsburg can draw Celtic or Galatasaray, the two remaining weak players. However, Gao shunyao's good luck obviously did not affect the draw, the two weak teams were taken away by other teams.

Dortmund of Bundesliga became the lucky one in this round of competition, they drew Celtic, the weakest opponent. This opponent is quite interesting: Dortmund suffered a lot from counterattack in the league this year, and Celtic won praise for their strong defense in the group match. Celtic's play just restrained Dortmund, whether they can win the game, is also very difficult to say.

The other lucky guy was Juve, who picked Galatasaray. This opponent is much worse than that of Juve, but Juve are also recovering. Their performance in Europe in the past two years is not excellent. It is unknown whether they can win, who are always famous for their defense.

If this sign is really drawn, then Gao shunyao can only say that God obviously wants to see several close matches. This kind of signing can make all teams play very hard. Otherwise, give Wolfsburg one of these two weak teams, Wolfsburg can prepare for the eight into four game in advance.

Fortunately, although Wolfsburg did not meet the weakest, it did not meet the strongest. Because they played well with Arsenal in the group stage, they only had to worry about Paris. Fortunately, Paris was taken away by Real Madrid and there was nothing wrong with Wolfsburg.

In the last two years of the Champions League, the local tyrants always meet the top giants, and the declining aristocrats always meet the class tyrants in the league. Since the last 16, there has been a gap between the strong and the weak, but it may not be that there is no hard work in the competition, which is nothing new. Paris such a big local tyrant, they should have met Real Madrid Barcelona, only such an opponent, only to stabilize their head.

And the showdown between the rich and the quasi rich is also quite eye-catching.

In the same way, Wolfsburg didn't draw Milan and Ajax in order to make them fight against the potential giants - Milan were drawn by Barcelona and they are going to play against the giants. How much strength is left in the declining Milan is also affecting people's hearts. Ajax has become Manchester United's opponent, but I don't know if the former giants can make Ferguson play the final game of the Champions League. Of course, there is a group of giants who have a close relationship with Wolfsburg, that is, Arsenal vs Bayern. That game was also eye-catching.

In contrast, the game between Schalke and Wolfsburg is much less enjoyable. Their game is only uncertain.

Schalke drew Valencia, Wolfsburg against Porto, their game can be said to be tough enough. These two opponents have a certain strength. Against Porto, Wolfsburg may be the weaker one. If one is not careful, it is possible to be taught by the other.

The first round of the Champions League knockout is on February 13, and the second round against Bayern is on February 16. The density of the match is enough to make Gao shunyao feel difficult. At this time, he can only hope that Arsenal will not lose too much in the first leg. If they can cause some trouble to Bayern, Wolfsburg will also benefit greatly.

Just how to play in order to win the game? He thought about it for a long time. But in the end, he couldn't come up with an idea, so he had to stop thinking and leave the problem to magate.

Anyway, magate is a coach, which should have been his job. As a player, I just need to train well according to the coach's words - what I should do more than think about these useless things is to further polish the defensive system with the team in this winter.

The Bundesliga has a long winter break and Wolfsburg have arranged training matches. As if in order to give the players a strong career, this winter training, Wolfsburg chose Dubai. I've found a good place for the players to enjoy their holidays. This winter, they still have two friendly games to play. Through this game, they also need to gain something. As magate said, the purpose of these two games is to continue to let the defenders run in and make their strength further.

There are two friendly games, four league games away from the Champions League and seven games away from Bayern. These opponents are the last trial of Wolfsburg, and Gao shunyao can only expect his team to complete the running in when he faces them.
