Wolfsburg players have never forgotten that whether they want to recruit or train, their ultimate goal is always one. After half a season of hard work, Wolfsburg now have a very clear goal, they want to get good results in the Champions League, otherwise, for them, everything is not important.
It's important for Wolfsburg to see whether a player's arrival is useful to them and how much strength they can play in the Champions League. Although debraune is excellent, he has played for Chelsea in the Champions League: although in six group games, he only played a few minutes in one game, and even didn't warm up, the rule is that he can't play for Wolfsburg in this year's Champions League, which is also a big regret.
This season, his role for Wolfsburg is naturally only to stabilize the League results. For the Champions League, he can't help much.
Wolfsburg are very happy to see their new players with outstanding strength, but it's tragic to think that he can't play in the Champions League. If they don't bring in Marlin but debraune in the summer, maybe their Champions League will have a better result, but now debraune can just let them save some energy in the league, and the Champions League will be just as difficult.
The reason why Wolfsburg players find the Champions League difficult is largely because their Champions League knockout is not easy to play.
At the end of the first half of the season at the same time, the Champions League knockout draw group, has also come out the results. According to the first and second grade of each group, they also decided the name of the match. This time, though Wolfsburg qualified as the first in the group, their opponents were not easy to deal with.
A large part of the reason for this is that the qualified teams this time are very strong: among the teams who are the first in the group this time, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea are naturally many, while Dortmund and Atletico Madrid are also quite famous teams. After the group match, the weak team who really appeared in the first gear, in addition to Wolfsburg, was only Porto. Because of good luck, the group basically avoided all the strong teams, so they were lucky to get a first gear position.
And this year's second team is full of talents. Manchester United have been pushed to the second place by Wolfsburg. It goes without saying that Arsenal and Manchester City are also pushed to this level by their opponents in the group stage. If you add Paris, there are at least four teams in the second place, all of which are very strong teams. Among the other teams, Milan and Juve are two Italian giants Serie A for the past two years is not good enough to be despised, but they still can not be underestimated, the second team is really weak, only Olympiakos and Galatasaray are not mainstream league teams.
If you look at this list, it's easy to find out. This year's Champions League competition is more intense than in previous years, which also leads to the beginning of the group match, there have been many familiar faces lost. Napoli in Serie A can be said to be a typical example of these teams, while real society in La Liga and Leverkusen in Bundesliga have not been able to qualify. In addition, Marseille in France, Benfica in Portugal, miner, Zenit and other former Champions League regulars have encountered strong opponents and called off one after another. From the beginning of the Champions League, the strong teams have been encountering each other, which makes this year's Champions League match more gunpowder than usual.
In the smell of gunpowder, Wolfsburg could not expect to be particularly relaxed. Although in the group stage of the Champions League, Wolfsburg made great efforts to get into the first team, they admitted that they had made a very wise choice. But look at the second level team, there are still many opponents, which also makes them still can only smile bitterly. Although compared with the first team, there are still a few terrible opponents, but there are still many strong players in these teams, and the guys that Wolfsburg can't beat still exist.
Therefore, in fact, before the draw, Wolfsburg was also quite worried about their bad luck. They have always hoped that they would not be unlucky and that they would have to draw opponents like Paris. And in their heart, they also think that they should not be so unlucky: all the time, the Bundesliga's luck in the Champions League draw is not too bad, they can always draw some weaker teams, which has always been a recognized fact. This time, Wolfsburg also hope to continue their Bundesliga good luck, at least not to draw too bad opponent.
However, this time, Wolfsburg is obviously not so lucky: in other words, the Bundesliga seems to have a lot of good luck, but it seems to have been consumed by the other two teams.
If you say who is the luckiest, then the Bundesliga is definitely the first Bayern. After this success, Bayern once again became the first in the group. In the draw, what Bayern drew was an unexpected and funny opponent - in the last 16 of the Champions League, the opponent Bayern will face is AC Milan.
The reason why this opponent is surprised is that Bayern and Milan are the top teams in the world. In European football, Real Madrid is certainly the most influential team, and the second place can be competed for many, Milan, Juve, Bayern, these can be regarded as strong competitors. Among these teams, the number of Milan in the Champions League is second only to Real Madrid, and their performance in the Champions League is better. However, with the decline of Milan in the past two years and the rise of Bayern, Bayern also vowed to surpass Milan and complete their own counter attack.The early meeting of the two giants, of course, is a surprise. It's quite eye-catching that there has been such a level of confrontation in the top 16.
However, this encounter is a bit funny, because the two teams attract people's attention in addition to their Champions League glory, as well as their history of fighting. After the new century, Bayern had a long period of downturn. In those days, they didn't play well in Europe, especially against Milan. They met several times and were repaired miserably. Their results have been very poor, so that for a long time, Bayern was hit out of the psychological shadow. When I was asked if I would be afraid when I met Inter, the blurted out "they are not AC Milan" made people see clearly the shadow in their hearts.
However, the situation has changed. A few years later, the situation of both sides has been completely reversed. Milan have not been willing to invest, now they have changed from a strong team that everyone was afraid of to a poor one who collected rags everywhere. Italy's economic situation has been bad in recent years, which can be described as the best embodiment in Milan. It's just a pity to see what they are like now.
And now Bayern, is not the Bayern then. Without the financial burden caused by repairing the stadium, Bayern's capital is abundant. In recent years, the overall recovery of the Bundesliga also makes Bayern's strength grow greatly. Throughout Europe, Bayern are now firmly in the top three, and they have nothing to fear.
The situation of the two sides has been reversed, and now the encounter with Milan is undoubtedly an opportunity for Bayern to erase the humiliation. The team that bullied them in those years has psychological shadow, but now it is just a team that they bullied. The saying of 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi has been fully explained at this time.
In fact, when we saw the draw results, Bayern's players had already rubbed their hands and said that they would do a good job. Although there is a strong confidence in their words, it makes people smile when we think about their experiences in the past few years and their words now.
These guys are not running for victory, victory is only subsidiary, they are running for vent.
However, no matter what the purpose, Bayern's Champions League draw, at least not too dangerous. Unless there is a particularly big accident, otherwise Bayern entered the last eight, there should be no doubt about it. Even the media believe it: even considering their psychological shadow, they are also champions of the Champions League. As champions, they should not be defeated here.
They should at least be in the top four, just as people ask Dortmund to be in the top four.
This year's Bundesliga draw, Bayern is good luck, Dortmund's luck, can not be considered bad. In this year's draw, their opponents are not very strong either: perhaps, it is a compliment to say that they are not very strong, because their opponents have just lost to Wolfsburg twice, and now they are in dire straits.
Dortmund in the Champions League, the draw opponent is Manchester United, the most famous, but recently extremely unlucky Premier League giants.
As a result of the draw, when they came out, the Wolfsburg players were full of abuse. They spent a lot of effort to push Manchester United to the second position in the group. Unexpectedly, in the end, they even took advantage of Dortmund. The players at Wolfsburg can't be more clear about the current state of Manchester United. Although Dortmund has numerous injuries and is half dead, they believe they can make Manchester United look good.
Moyes, no matter how hard he is, it's very difficult to defeat Dortmund. It seems that they will be here this year.
Looking at the luck of his two league mates, Wolfsburg can only sigh about it. All along, they ask themselves that they have never done anything bad, but this time, their luck is much worse than others.
Others can draw weak teams. How can they draw Manchester City?
