Pereira's fear of himself, Gao shunyao does not know at this time, on the pitch, he is not in the mood to consider the other coach's evaluation of himself, for him, how to win this game, is the problem he really needs to consider.
On the pitch, Gao shunyao also encountered some problems: after Wolfsburg scored the first goal, their second goal was delayed.
Before the game, when Wolfsburg carried out tactical planning, what they wanted was not a 1-0 victory. In their plan, Wolfsburg had to get two goals, preferably three, in order to prevent their defensive line from making mistakes. But until the end of the first half, Wolfsburg still didn't get the second goal they wanted.
It's very different from Wolfsburg's plan. They thought that their tactics were enough to make Porto helpless: Porto's team has its own injuries. Although Otamendi's technique is good and his ability is good in all aspects, his height is absolutely a big problem. Less than 180cm in height, perhaps in the general air confrontation will not suffer too much, but if he was Wolfsburg targeted treatment, it will definitely be the biggest weakness. Porto's players are good, but the two men on the back line are the absolute main force. It is Wolfsburg's biggest mace to make targeted arrangements for them.
However, Wolfsburg obviously underestimated the tenacity of Porto players - although their tactics are good, but on the pitch, Mangala's tenacious resistance is obviously beyond their expectations.
Porto underestimated Wolfsburg's players. Wolfsburg also underestimated Porto's players. Most of these players are famous talents from a very young age. They all have their own pride. Compared with ordinary players, they are more confident. If the players of the first class are so fooled by their opponents in two important games in a row, and they have brought so much burden to their team, they may be on the verge of mental breakdown. However, Mangala is obviously not so fragile. Although Gao shunyao has hit him hard, he does not collapse immediately. On the contrary, he is stimulated by Gao shunyao and has a lot of strength The performance of self-improvement.
After Porto lost the ball, Mangala also realized how much loss he and Gao shunyao had brought to the team. When Wolfsburg's attack is set off again, he no longer has to entangle with Gao shunyao, but pays more attention to the football landing in the air. In the competition, he seems to have improved and grown up all of a sudden. His pride of genius has been polished by the competition and become more mature.
And his approach, no doubt, also let Wolfsburg encounter a big problem - high ball compared to the ground ball, the biggest problem is that the passing success rate is much lower. Many ground ball passing masters can make their passing success rate up to 80% or even more than 90%, but the passing success rate is too much. 30% of the success rate of passing is a very strong level. Generally, 25% of the success rate can create a threat. The success rate of more than 10% can be found everywhere. Even some top teams have single digit success rate of passing in the game. Compared with the ground cooperation, the high-altitude ball is much more difficult to achieve success.
It's not easy to catch the high ball, which is why even Wolfsburg has two top high centers, they only dare to play against Porto's Otamendi, but not against Bayern and other teams. It's not easy to catch the high-altitude ball, and there is a strong guy who constantly interferes with the forward's snatching points, which makes it even more difficult to catch. It's just because of his play and Wolfsburg's attack that it has not been effective for a long time.
Of course, if it's just like this, don't worry. No matter how smart Mangala is, it's not realistic for him to take care of two people. And Otamendi in the face of Wolfsburg's double forward is not very light, if Wolfsburg continue to attack, Mangala even if the ability is big, it will have to make mistakes again.
But in the face of this situation, Porto seems to have come up with a way. Their goalkeepers no longer stick in front of the goal, but expand their defensive range. He began to move in the penalty area, actively stood up, trying to intercept Wolfsburg's long pass line, not to let Wolfsburg pass high, this practice, also let Porto's defense improved a lot.
The goalkeeper is also a scavenger, which is also an important change of modern football. In addition to being responsible for the defense in front of the goal, but also constantly out to control the ball, which is also one of the things goalkeepers need to do. Porto this obviously also gave the goalkeeper more autonomy, they let the goalkeeper out to deal with Wolfsburg's high ball, also let Wolfsburg's passing face more trouble.
Originally thought that Porto is already on the chopping board of fish, but unexpectedly met such a hard bone, also let Gao shunyao some worry. After all, the big score is only 2-2, Wolfsburg does not occupy too much advantage. Porto's front court players are still trying, J Rowe or Martinez or have the ability to score the immortal ball. If Wolfsburg is broken through again, they will be defeated.
"Maybe we should play a different way in the second half."
At half-time, Gao shunyao also discussed with manzuki what to do. Since we can't win at this point, we have to work out a way. However, before their discussion came to an end, magate gave them a suggestion: "the other side has done a good job in defending high-altitude ball. We need some changes In the second half, I will make changes for the teamIf there is any one in the team who knows how to score the header better than the two centers, it is estimated that magate is the only one. As the coach of the team, his adjustment can naturally bring greater advantages to the team and let the team score goals.
And his approach is also very simple, in the second half, he replaced Turan, replaced Musa Sissoko - only, Musa's position is not in the back court, magate put Musa on the wing.
This replacement can be said to be a very good magic stroke.
In fact, Musa's position is in the middle of the back, but he doesn't play very well in the middle of the back - because he has a strong sense of forward, and often likes to run forward with the ball, so he puts it on the middle of the back, and from time to time it becomes a big hole that the team can't fill. This problem has been very serious since he played in France, and it has not changed since he arrived in the Bundesliga. People have to sigh that God is quite fair. If he gives him top-level physical quality, he will no longer give him top-level on-the-field awareness.
Because of this problem, it is difficult for him to get the main position. However, in some special occasions, his characteristics can also play a very unimaginable role. For example, in this game, when he was put on the side, his impact, speed and physical strength became the biggest help to Wolfsburg.
Wolfsburg are facing a Porto with a shrinking defence. Because of the opponent's insistence, Turan's technical advantage is difficult to play. But Musa and Turan are different, he does not have the technical superiority, but the physical superiority is full, he went on the field, the situation immediately changed.
In Porto's midfield, no one can stop him. His spurt on the right side forced Porto to broaden their defence.
Once their defense line is widened, Wolfsburg's attack will naturally have more opportunities. Even after the replacement, their tactics can be updated a lot.
Gao soon understood the team's new tactical intention, he also began to retreat to the left side of the penalty area - because of the interference of Musa, Porto's defense focus began to move to the right. In the other side's defensive focus, manzuki, I'm afraid there is almost no more shooting. And he is looking for new opportunities to move back actively: whether it's a long pass from the side, a return header from manzuki, or a sudden pull from the side to make a match with the left side to let them enter the penalty area, it's a variable play that can be considered.
Gao shunyao can't hear the other coach's comments, but he is very clear about what he can do. It's his omnipotence that Wolfsburg can try more attacking routines, which are in his mind.
As long as you try more attacking routines, Wolfsburg will naturally get the goal - Gao shunyao is very confident about it. What he didn't expect was that Wolfsburg's second goal didn't come like this.
With Musa on the court, the attack on the right side of the road suddenly fierce. But because just turned back to Wolfsburg, Musa and Wolfsburg's players with after all is not very skilful. After two unsuccessful attempts, Musa also wanted to try himself. When a football came to his feet, Musa shot from a distance from the right side of the penalty area and sent the football out!
He shot and flew out like a shell. Different from Shahin's excellent long-range shot, his long-range shot is explosive, which makes people feel excited. This foot from the side, he shot very hard, also let the football speed is very fast, toward the goal directly fly past.
However, the biggest problem with this shot is his lack of technique. Football is playing too well and the threat is much less. Porto's goalkeeper was already on guard against Wolfsburg's Cross. He was quite forward. Facing the long-range shot, he flew forward in time and hit the ball with both fists.
His action is quite beautiful, but the football was hit to the left by him.
When he saw the football flying out, Gao shunyao had already run past. He didn't expect that football would come to his feet in such a way. He was a little confused about this opportunity. However, no matter how unexpected, he would not say no to the opportunity to come to his feet. Look at the other goalkeeper after Feipu has not been up in time, Gao shunyao did not think much, a direct shot, kick the ball out!
He has been worried about the opponent's chance to have the immortal ball, but he didn't expect to get this chance! In the face of this opportunity, he naturally refused to let it go. Anyway, he had to give it a try.
There are few such opportunities for a player.
With a hang shot, he kicked the ball out. But his shooting skill is better than he imagined, the football was kicked up by him in an arc and fell directly to the far corner of the goal. More than one of Porto's players ran towards the position where the football fell, but none of them could stop it.
Wolfsburg's second goal came. In the 61st minute of the game, Gao shunyao scored Wolfsburg's second goal with a drop shot!
