Chapter 105 Who Will Be Which Shit Stirring Stick?

三天后，3月15日下午15点30分，沃尔夫斯堡主场迎来了德甲25轮对手弗莱堡的挑战。

In the first leg of the clash between the two sides, Wolfsburg narrowly won 2-1.

Freiburg beat Eintracht Frankfurt 4-1 after the winter break.

I thought they would reverse their decline after the adjustments during the winter break, but they never thought that they would have two consecutive losses in the next two rounds.

Currently, Freiburg ranks 14th in the standings with a goal difference advantage, and both Hamburg and Hertha Berlin have 25 points.

Paderborn and Stuttgart, ranked 17th and 18th, are also within five points of their points.

So they have already fallen into the quagmire of relegation with one foot, and they are currently facing great pressure to relegation.

As for Wolfsburg, the four consecutive weeks of double matches also brought a severe test to the physical fitness of the players.

Dieter Heiking and the coaching staff racked their brains to buy time for the main players to rest, but it only relieved a little fatigue.

Before the game, in an interview with the media, Dieter Heiking said that Dost, De Bruyne, Chu Zheng and others were all at risk of injury due to fatigue, so he was considering a rotation.

However, after the game started, Wolfsburg's starting lineup was unshakable, and it was still those people.

The only change is that Vierinha finally no longer needs to play as a right back, and Tresch replaced Sebastian Rong.

Also, Naldo was suspended due to accumulating yellow cards, and Knoch and Chu Zheng started as partners.

Wolfsburg, while tired, has good news.

That is, with Arnold returning from injury, there are no more injuries in the team.

This is very critical, because there are only 9 rounds left in the Bundesliga.

Wolfsburg and Bayern both have the tasks of the European War and the German Cup, and both sides are fighting on the third front.

At this time, the fight is not only about their respective strengths, but also the thickness of the benches of both sides.

In terms of bench thickness, Wolfsburg is weaker than Bayern.

But among the Bundesliga teams, Wolfsburg is already considered very good.

After the start of the game, Wolfsburg played offensive football as usual.

In the 55th second of the start of the game, Vierinia broke through the ribs and made a cross. Dorst grabbed a spot in the middle and completed the first shot.

It's a pity that Dost's push line was too straight, and the ball put Freiburg goalkeeper Burki under him.

Since then, Wolfsburg began to rush and beat Freiburg, whose main lineup was incomplete.

In the 14th minute of the game, the first goal came.

Knoghe in the middle passed back to the top of the arc, and Benalio sent the ball to the left front.

Chu Zheng flipped the ball back with his left foot and turned around, and immediately found that there was a gap on the left side of the front of Freiburg's penalty area.

So he swung the ball without thinking.

Chu Zheng passed the ball very stealthily. He didn't pass the ball in front of De Bruyne, who was slanted into the ribs from the side, but behind him.

And it was a pass with a strong spin.

Therefore, the height of the rebound after the ball touched the ground was extremely low, and it jumped forward suddenly, allowing Freiburg right back Ritter to grab the air.

After De Bruyne entered the penalty area, Freiburg central defender Mitrovic quickly defended.

De Bruyne's light and realistic cross-pass tricked this big fool to fall to the ground to intercept.

Then De Bruyne flicked to the right with his right foot, once again dodged Ritter who was chasing back, and then calmly fired with his right foot to help the team lead 1-0.

"Chu Zheng, this is his 10th assist in all competitions this season!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Unbelievable!!!"

"A central defender can get so many assists, he is already better than many midfielders in the five major leagues."

"This is the embodiment of Chu Zheng's offensive talent!"

Looking at Chu Zheng, who was holding each other's shoulders with De Bruyne in the camera and smiling brightly, He Wei and Zhang Lu were also full of joy.

At the beginning of the season, although He Wei and Zhang Lu didn't talk about it, they actually had a common worry.

That is, they were afraid that Chu Zheng would not be able to maintain his state in a high-level competition like the Bundesliga.

But now most of the season has passed, and there are still 9 rounds of Bundesliga matches coming to an end, and Chu Zheng's level is as stable as ever.

Even playing better and better, the progress is clearly visible.

But this does not reassure them completely, because young players still have a rookie wall to pass.

Many players performed extremely well in their first professional season, but after being thoroughly studied by other teams in the second season, they quickly disappeared.

Therefore, they are still a little worried.

On the field, after this goal, Wolfsburg committed the old problem again. The offense played well, but the second goal was missed after eight or nine shots in a row.

Instead, Freiburg played two good quick counterattacks and used set kicks to threaten their own goal.

Fortunately, Chu Zheng's state of play was as good as ever, and he and Benaglio's tacit cooperation rejected Freiburg's goals time and time again.

In the 69th minute of the second half, Benaglio took a goal kick with a volley.

In the 35-meter area at the top of the arc in Freiburg's middle road, Dost won the take-off competition with Freiburg's two central defenders.

He rubbed the ball directly to his left rib, and De Bruyne followed up at the same time. After entering the penalty area, he took the lead in touching the ball and poking it away.

Then he was thrown on his feet by Burki, who was a beat slower.

The referee blew his whistle and awarded Wolfsburg a penalty!
Not long after, Rodriguez took a penalty kick and rewritten the score to 2-0 overnight.

Five minutes later, Freiburg attacked from the right and suddenly crossed the ribs diagonally.

Chu Zheng saw through it at a glance, quickly rushed up, directly carried the Freiburg players away, and sent the ball to Bendtner, who came on the bench in front of him.

Bendtner turned around with the ball, quickly shifted to the right front court with a long pass and launched an attack.

De Bruyne received precise guidance from Bendtner at the front of the right rib at the top of the arc, brought the ball into the penalty area and crossed it to Arnold who followed up on the left side of the top of the arc.

Arnold easily pushed the ball to the empty goal and continued to expand the score to 3-0.

On the sidelines, Dieter Heiking did not let go of his hanging heart until this moment.

Although they and Bayern have the same points now, the disadvantage in goal difference is too huge.

A few days ago, Dieter Heiking participated in a meeting of the Wolfsburg club's top management.

The team's first goal now is to compete for the Bundesliga championship, and they must get a seat in the European war.

Because it has a very important role for Wolfsburg.

Once you get a place in the Champions League, you can attract many excellent players to join, and it is even possible for some stars to join at a lower price.

The second is the Europa League.

The Copa del Rey is third.

The greed of Wolfsburg's top management has put Dieter Heikold under great pressure.

Therefore, he knew that the players were exhausted in this game, so he let Chu Zheng and the others start.

Fortunately, he won the bet and no one was hurt.

But Dieter Heiking knows he won't be so lucky every time.

He knows that he needs to make a trade-off as soon as possible, otherwise there may be a serious wave of injuries waiting for him later.

On the 16th, the last game of the 25th round kicked off, and Werder Bremen met Bayern Munich at home.

As a result, there was no suspense. Bremen was defeated by Bayern in the away game and was poured four goals.

The Wolfsburg fans are disappointed and frustrated.

As soon as their side recovered 3 goal difference, Bayern evened out and even widened the gap in a blink of an eye.

Wolfsburg fans sighed and communicated on the Internet.

Domestic Chinese fans are not idle either.

They also communicated on Chuzheng's post bar and Weibo, and jointly analyzed who could act as a shit-stirring stick on the championship journey between Wolfsburg and Bayern.

At the beginning, some fans counted on Dortmund, who had five kills against Bayern.

But no one is optimistic that Dortmund can successfully snipe Bayern.

Dortmund has disappointed countless fans this season.

Although Dortmund's state has recovered after the winter break and has already left the relegation zone, but recently they have made trouble again.

There are media reports that the meritorious coach Klopp, who has coached Dortmund for seven years, may leave after the end of this season.

As soon as the news came out, Dortmund was in turmoil.

Then the domestic fans went through all the clubs in the Bundesliga, and they seemed to be worried about letting Chu Zheng win the five major league championships.

Soon domestic fans turned their attention to Borussia Mönchengladbach, who is about to face Bayern at home in the 26th round of the Bundesliga.

Because this team has the potential to be Bayern's nemesis.

Because Borussia Mönchengladbach is currently the team that has beaten Bayern the most times in the Bundesliga.

This is not metaphysics, but it is supported by data, and there are also very subjective feelings of countless fans.

Every time Borussia plays Bayern, it is very exciting. Regardless of whether it wins or loses, it has a good performance. It can be said that it is the best team in the Bundesliga to kill Bayern.

In the first half of the league this season, Borussia drew with Bayern in an away game, and it is not surprising to do it again now.

In addition, there are historical factors.

In the 70s, the confrontation between Borussia and Bayern was called a national derby. Borussia has won the league championship from Bayern many times.

However, all this has nothing to do with the Wolfsburg team.

Because at this time Chu Zheng and the others were already far away in Milan, Italy, and were preparing for the second round against Inter Milan.
