Chapter 467

On February 19th, when the Champions League match day came, when the players of Wolfsburg boarded the plane to Manchester, they listened to the music being played by their teammates in the cabin, watched their teammates humming with the music. Gao Shunyao felt a sense of surprise.

a few months ago, before the game against Manchester United, when the Wolfsburg players went to Manchester, although they knew clearly that the team they were facing was a team that had just experienced a change of coach and might not be as strong as the previous team, at that time, Wolfsburg still had some inexplicable fear and attention to the enemy. And in a few months, they are going to challenge Manchester City, which is at its peak, but at this moment, the players of Wolfsburg are all ready to do something.

It's obviously a more difficult game, but Wolfsburg's confidence has soared at this time. Instead of looking forward and backward, they are full of momentum. For a moment, Gao shunyao didn't know whether it was because his opponents were not big enough to give them enough confidence, or because he had no way out and had to win anyway.

He doesn't know where his team's morale comes from, but whatever the reason, Wolfsburg is full of morale now, which makes Gao shunyao very happy. This game, Wolfsburg really need to have some momentum to win, want to win, this is one of the few things they may be better than the opponent.

Wolfsburg and Manchester City's two leg match is about to start, and the first game, also in the city's home away game. For this game, Wolfsburg's requirements are very clear from the beginning: for Wolfsburg players, winning this game is their biggest requirement.

Away to win some high requirements, but for Wolfsburg, this requirement is a last resort. Although theoretically speaking, Wolfsburg has an advantage in the schedule, and the schedule of first host and then guest can make the team fight at home in the final decision moment and have more advantages, the problem is that the Bundesliga team's home performance has not been dominant against the Premier League team all the time, which also makes Wolfsburg dare not trust too much and think about a draw in the away game.

Wolfsburg did a lot of preparation before the game against Manchester City. It's also important to look at the experience of the Bundesliga and the Premier League. When they opened the previous record, Wolfsburg players also found an embarrassing fact: Although the situation of the Bundesliga seems to be very good in the past two years, when it comes to the experience of playing in the Champions League, it seems that the home advantage of the Bundesliga has not played a big role.

From a few years ago, Manchester United went to the final against Schalke away. Chelsea played Bayern and won the Champions League, while Arsenal played Bayern. They lost at home but won away. At least they stood up and went home. And even last season Wolfsburg faced Arsenal, it is the same home did not win. In recent years, the Bundesliga have met the Premier League in the Champions League, and they always have no advantage at home. Even back to the 09-10 season, Bayern's victory over Manchester United was reluctantly won by the last time. Although Wolfsburg have won Manchester United at home this season, it seems that this season's Manchester United are regarded as weak chickens by the whole Europe, which doesn't mean much. So, how much home advantage does the Bundesliga have against the Premier League? This is a question worthy of further study.

Although those losses, strictly speaking, are mostly Bayern's painful memories, Schalke's loss to Manchester United is not surprising. But in any case, the Bundesliga home against the Premier League is easy to go wrong, which is also a very high probability of things. And if Wolfsburg really want to win this game, then they had better not feel that their pig farm will definitely win, away game, they had better try their best to win.

At home they may not be able to win, so away games, they had better win more secure. Advantage in hand, then no matter how, the other side is not likely to turn out too big waves. Only by winning this game can Wolfsburg relax.

After having a certain understanding of the situation of the game, the players of Wolfsburg also knew it early. In this game, their task is not easy. Especially when they see the other side's player list, they feel that way. It's not easy to win away from home. It's even more difficult for them to look at the list of opponents.

This game, Manchester City's formation, is a 4231 formation, their goalkeeper is England international Hart, on the defensive line, Richards, demikalis, kompani, Kolarov formed their defense. In front of them, city's double backs are yayature and Fernando. Their three offensive fronts are Navas, Silva and Nasri. At the front of the lineup, the forward they chose to use was former Wolfsburg forward Dzeko.

It can be said that the best lineup for Manchester City is now. Their defenders are excellent, Hart is one of the few reliable English goalkeepers, and kompani in their defence has always been regarded as one of the top five defenders in the world. Since this season, Kolarov has gradually integrated into their offensive system. Now he has a good performance on the pitch, and a pair of midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield midfield.In addition to Bayern, Wolfsburg has played against the team, there is no such level of back, what's more, Manchester City's front players, it seems, must not be worse than Wolfsburg. Silva can be regarded as the core in Manchester City, and his reputation is also world-class. On both sides of him, Navas is the same as the Spanish international, with the top level of dribbling and the ability to break through the bottom, and Nasri also ushered in the revival of the same play this season, reappeared in the glory of the Arsenal period, these two players also have an extremely amazing level, even if it is not as terrible as Bayern, it is also very powerful.

Not to mention, the team's top forward is Dzeko. The former key player of Wolfsburg is now playing for Manchester City. His strength, Wolfsburg up and down are very clear, the name has long become one of the legends of this team, but now he is the enemy of this team.

This team is really strong.

What's more terrifying is that although the opponent is very strong, this team is not in complete condition. It is also a fact that the continuous operations of the previous period have brought them serious problems. Before this encounter, many Manchester City players have suffered injuries. Such a team is their state after injury.

There are a lot of injuries in Manchester City. Let's not talk about the people on the bench. Among the main players, sabaleta, the main left back of Manchester City, suffered injuries at this time. Originally should be an important part of Manchester City's tactics, he was injured in training some time ago. Although he has come back now, he can't play because of his poor condition. The other injured player is Manchester City's main striker Aguero. As one of the core players of the team, the Argentinian suffered injuries in January after the injury in December. Continuous injuries made his condition very poor. He didn't even enter the big list in this game.

These two injuries, the impact is very big. What's more, Manchester City still have a series of other injuries, such as jovitic, Milner and so on. In this game, they have encountered a lot of troubles, but their strength is still excellent.

And can imagine, in the face of such a team, if you can't get the upper hand in this game, when their players are back, Wolfsburg need to face how much pressure. Even in order not to give them a chance to slow down, the Wolfsburg players have to do their best to win.

But the victory of this kind of thing, never rely on a cavity of blood can decide, at least this game, after the start of the game, Wolfsburg does not have the upper hand. After all, Etihad stadium is Manchester City's home court. After the kick-off, Manchester City's attack is much smoother than Wolfsburg's.

Manchester City's lineup itself is much better than Wolfsburg's, and from the day it was established, what Manchester City has been striving for is also the goal of attacking football and beautiful football. After spending a lot of money to introduce a lot of good players, Manchester City's tactical system is basically built up, and their players are also very aggressive.

If it's against top teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid, Manchester City may be a little more restrained and dare not attack excessively. However, in the face of Wolfsburg, Manchester City has no intention to fight after careful thinking. At the beginning of the game, Manchester City controlled the rhythm of the game by relying on their better technology. Their players kept trying to get the ball forward, forcing Wolfsburg players to recover in their own half.

Manchester City at home, the strength is really quite good. After gaining the upper hand, they are obviously not prepared to let Wolfsburg have too many adjustment opportunities. When Wolfsburg were forced to recover after a long start because they didn't get the advantage, Manchester City immediately launched their own attack. Once Kolarov got the football, Manchester City's attack came with it.
