In the view of Wolfsburg players, the German Cup is more important than those two games, which many people did not expect. It's hard to imagine that Wolfsburg would attach so much importance to an unimportant cup champion.
However, from Wolfsburg's point of view, the cup champion, at least, is also a champion. This season, Wolfsburg have no championship in the league, and in the Champions League, it is difficult for them to win the championship. In this case, it is also a feasible goal to strive for a championship in the cup.
In the past two years, Wolfsburg have never paid attention to the German Cup. In the past, in their eyes, the German Cup is just a game that can be sacrificed when necessary. However, this year, with the league's defeat, Wolfsburg have to pay attention to the German Cup, because for them, it is also the most likely to win the championship.
Wolfsburg players are still looking forward to a championship - although this championship may not be as important as the other two games.
If it had been Wolfsburg before, they would not have such an idea. The former Wolfsburg players have just gone through the reorganization of the team, to get a place in the Champions League, in the view of the team, is a great thing. And last season, in the league, they and Bayern exhausted their mind. The whole season's confrontation, also lets them not have the mind to pursue the league tournament other honor. Even until the beginning of this season, Wolfsburg's eyes have always been on whether they can enter the top four of the Champions League. Even before the end of the game with Chelsea a few days ago, they have never had the idea that if they can't win a championship in a season, they will lose. After all, there are few champions. Arsene is better than Wolfsburg now. He has no champion for many years. Naturally, Wolfsburg players will not think that no champion is a big deal.
However, sometimes people's freedom will expand with their status and honor. Over the past three years, Wolfsburg's goal has been gradually raised, from the former relegation team all the way to the top four of the Champions League, they have experienced a lot, but also to pursue a lot of things. Now, with the improvement of their performance, they have become the top four of the Champions League. Naturally, the psychology of Wolfsburg has changed. Now, the Wolfsburg players also begin to have an idea: maybe, they should fight for it, at least get a championship every season, which is worthy of their status and value pursued by the major media.
With progress, Wolfsburg players are now asking for more things. For them, the title of champion is beginning to tempt them. A season down, how to say also have to get a champion, this used to be the idea of the giants, and now they have.
Maybe for players, it is not necessary for every champion to fight for, but in any case, the champion is the best evidence for a player to prove himself. The players with champions in hand are more worthy of respect than those who are all empty. It is self-evident to see Bayern's transformation from Sanya king to Champions League.
Therefore, it is Wolfsburg's idea to win a championship and witness their progress this season. This champion can be the best evidence for them to work together this season to prove their strength this season.
What's more, it's not just for themselves to win the championship. This champion is also the best gift for Wolfsburg.
In Wolfsburg's history, they have never won the German Cup. In the 1990s, they once reached a German Cup final, but the result of that time was that Wolfsburg was defeated 3-0 by menxing in the final and became the runner up cleanly.
Since then, Wolfsburg has never been able to enter the final of the German Cup in more than ten years. For them, the cup is always a dream beyond expectation, even a little farther than the league championship. Wolfsburg themselves, the champion has not been particularly concerned about, sometimes, they will take the initiative to give up the cup, will not work for it.
But this year, things are different. This time Wolfsburg up and down, also ready to play a good cup. The league has lost and the Champions League has been tough. They know it's hard to go further. The cup is their last hope.
"In the league, we've been like this. And in the Champions League, the match with Atletico is not very good, we can only say that we do our best. But in the German Cup, we can try our best: Bayern is the last hurdle in front of us now, Dortmund has been eliminated, as long as we win Bayern, no one can prevent us from winning the championship
In the dressing room, the players of Wolfsburg also encourage each other. Until the game came, he believed that they could win this game.
In fact, this idea is quite unreasonable. Because Atletico are strong, but Bayern are not weak. If you want to fight against Bayern, it's not easy to fight against Atletico Madrid. They don't have the same assurance of victory.
However, compared with Atletico Madrid, at least Bayern and Wolfsburg are more familiar. They have played Bayern twice this season and have a deep understanding of their tactics. Compared with Atletico Madrid, Wolfsburg are familiar with the characteristics of every tactic of Bayern. Moreover, they haven't defeated Bayern in a season, which makes them accumulate a lot of anger and want to vent in this game.At least, that's what Gao shunyao thinks. He wants to score a goal for the team and prove that he is no worse than Bayern.
However, although Gao shunyao is ready and wants to have a final match with Bayern, he did not become the starter of the team in this game. He feels that his body has recovered well. However, in Wolfsburg's view, after all, he has just been injured, so he should be more careful. Therefore, he is still in the first place in this game He was on the bench instead of playing directly.
Although the result is very important, but can't take the players' body nonsense. He has been thrown up many times, and his training is too heavy. But people must make complaints about his training level for players. Let players injured on this kind of thing, less than a last resort, he will not be easy to use, since Wolfsburg now there are other players can play, then Gao shunyao or sit on the bench better.
It's not too late to let him play when he really can't.
This game, Wolfsburg's starting forward, became the match of manzuki and ollic. After them, Wolfsburg also made some adjustments. Turan's goal came to the left side, while on the right side, Wolfsburg replaced debraune as the main player. In the midfield, Wolfsburg still use Gustavo and Shahin as partners, while the players in the backcourt have not changed at all. In this game, they use the whole team.
Against Bayern, also want to rotate, it is too contemptuous. Although the Wolfsburg players have been saying to themselves that Guardiola's team is nothing great, but they are also very clear that when they really meet, it is better not to despise at all. It's good to be fearless, but tactically, we must be cautious in order to win.
As a weak player, Wolfsburg only hope to win in this way. After all, Bayern have excellent strength, and they also know the truth that they can't be careless. This game, they also try their best to deal with it. They don't mean to despise Wolfsburg at all.
Bayern this competition, also may say is goes all out. On the court, they also arranged their own front line-up. For them who have no league task, the remaining two cups to strive for victory, and then towards the great goal of the treble, is their only pursuit of this season. In this game, their opponent Wolfsburg is also one of the only teams that can challenge Bayern in the whole Bundesliga. Facing this kind of competition, Bayern naturally will not have any contempt behavior, they are also the same, want to win.
This one ball, Bayern's lineup is quite outstanding. In front of the goal, they are still standing Noel, the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga. On the defensive line, allaba, Dante, Bolten and RAM are all in line. Their two back waist, with piggy and cross, Muller as the front waist, his two sides are naturally Robben and Ribery. The front of the lineup, Bayern used Gomez, this set of 451 lineup, is basically Bayern's regular lineup this season.
Even if only on the list, Bayern's lineup compared to Wolfsburg's players, but also to win a lot. The starlight of this lineup is not the same as Wolfsburg. Moreover, even on the bench, Bayern also put Martinez, GEZE, Pizarro and other excellent substitutes. In contrast, Wolfsburg's substitutes are much worse.
Bayern's strength can not be underestimated. And this time, the match between them and Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg also need to be very careful.
However, although the Wolfsburg players have been very wary of Bayern, no one thought that they suffered immediately at the beginning of the game. When the whistle blew, Bayern's attack immediately started, and unexpectedly, when Robben on the right side got the ball, he also rushed up quickly. From the beginning, he didn't seem to control the rhythm of the game, but wanted to launch a quick attack directly!
