Green Journey

Chapter 97 This day is still here!
On March 3, after winning the German Cup 7-2 against the Leipzig Red Bull, the entire Wolfsburg team went to the SGL Arena in Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany, to challenge their opponent Augsburg in the 0th round of the Bundesliga.

Augsburg is currently ranked fifth in the league with 35 points, only one point behind Leverkusen in fourth.

Returning from the winter break, Augsburg performed even stronger than in the first half of the league.

Since the start of the second half of the Bundesliga, they have achieved an unbeaten record of 4 wins and [-] draws. They are the only undefeated teams in the Bundesliga.

At 15:30 Berlin time, the game officially started.

After the start of the game, Augsburg took advantage of the advantage of the home court to quickly launch the side attack that they are best at and rely on.

Augsburg has scored a total of 32 goals so far this season, most of which came from their two wing attacks and set kicks, which are directly related to wing crosses.

Especially their two full-backs have extremely strong assist ability.

Therefore, Dieter Heiking's tactics in this game are very obvious, using heavy troops on the two sides to contain Augsburg's powerful side attack.

He learned from Hertha Berlin.

Because in the last round of the league, Hertha Berlin used this trick to deal with Augsburg.

In that game, Hertha Berlin's defensive tactics of sending heavy troops on the wing allowed Augsburg to play for 90 minutes, and it can be said that it was almost useless on the offensive end.

On the field, Dieter Heiking's combat tactics are also very effective.

Especially on Chu Zheng's side.

He continued to cooperate and command Rodriguez and Gustavo, plus the retreating Caligiuri and others, repeatedly making Augsburg's right back Feiner and right midfielder Bobadilla into a one-to-many confrontation .

After curbing Augsburg's offensive side attack, Wolfsburg began to attack Augsburg's center.

In the 23 rounds of the league this season, Augsburg conceded a total of 30 goals, 16 of which were due to their central defense being breached.

This is because of their uncoordinated defense on the side and the center
Augsburg often leaked a large gap under the impact of the opponent's center, and the two central defenders were successfully hit behind and lost the ball again and again.

In addition, the weakness of the defensive misplacement on the left is also fully exposed.

This is due to the Augsburg left-back Baba Rahman's strong offense and weak defense.

In fact, Wolfsburg also has this problem, that is, on Rodriguez's side, sometimes this guy can't come back.

But it's not a big problem, there is Chu Zheng.

And Augsburg doesn't have a central defender of Chu Zheng's level.

Therefore, Wolfsburg took advantage of Augsburg's two major pain points to play today. Not long after the game started, they turned away and set off an offensive frenzy.

In the 6th minute of the game, Rodriguez took a left corner kick.

De Bruyne grabs a shot from the right side of the penalty area.

But because of too haste and too awkward posture, the ball slipped past the goal.

Two minutes later, Rodriguez took another corner kick on the same side.

On the left side of the penalty area, Schurle unloaded the ball with his right foot in front of his left foot, and then quickly followed up with a left foot shot.

The ball jumped under the feet of two Augsburg defenders, but was rejected by the post. The ball hit the outside of the post and rolled out of the baseline.

In the following time, Wolfsburg's offensive wave after wave, put Augsburg in their own half.

In the 14th and 15th minutes of the game, De Bruyne shot cold arrows outside the penalty area.

His two long-range shots were of high quality and very threatening, but he was unlucky, hitting the crossbar once and allowing Augsburg goalkeeper Hitz to save it.

Wolfsburg's offense was in full swing, leaving Chu Zheng, Naldo and the others almost farting behind.

Although very leisurely, Chu Zheng did not relax his vigilance.

His defensive nerves were as tight as ever.

Soon Chu Zheng came to life.

In the 19th minute of the game, Wolfsburg won another corner kick.

De Bruyne suddenly took a tactical corner kick against the routine this time and handed the ball to Caligiuri on the right sideline of the penalty area.

Caligiuri quickly hoisted the ball to the middle of the penalty area without any defense, allowing Dorst to compete for the top.

As a result, the ball sent Augsburg left center back Klavan to the top of the arc.

Immediately, the two sides launched a fierce fight at the top of the arc.

The ball went to the strong Naldo, who dunked his left foot to his right and tried to shoot.

But Naldo was soon double-teamed by three Augsburg players and lost the ball directly.

After Klavan got the ball, he saw that Wolfsburg had 9 players inside and outside the offensive third area, so he kicked the ball towards the midfield without saying a word.

Wolfsburg's half-time point before the arc.

Chu Zheng and Augsburg's left midfielder Dajuan Werner rushed to the landing point at the same time.

Chu Zheng took the lead because of his speed, and stuck Dajuan Verna on the right back.

Dajuan Werner is a small and fast player, 174cm and 70kg. He is not as good as Chu Zheng in terms of height and physical confrontation.

But he also has his own advantages, that is, flexibility and fast foot frequency.

However, just when he was about to wait for Chu Zheng to stop the ball under his feet before using his housekeeping fighting skills, Chu Zheng started to pretend again.

Dajuan Werner followed Chu Zheng to the right, waiting left and right, but the ball bounced off the ground and fell.

So he glanced up, and then saw the ball bouncing on top of Chu Zheng's head, again and again, but it didn't fall.

In front of the end line of the penalty area, Chu Zheng headed the ball directly to Benalio for the fourth time.

Benalio took off the lightly flying ball with both hands, he couldn't laugh or cry, feeling that Chu Zheng's heart is really big.

Dieter Heijin next to him also smiled when he saw Chu Zheng playing Dajuan Werner around.

This is what he admires most about Chu Zheng. There are always some fantastic defensive moves, and the effect is very good.

Of course, he would definitely criticize Chu Zheng's behavior after the game.

On the field, Chu Zheng smiled brightly when he heard nearly 3 Augsburg fans booing him.

He did his homework before the game, and he knew very well that Dajuan Werner's characteristics are flexibility and changeability, and he has excellent winding skills.

He has a bit of a nose for his ability to protect the ball, so fortunately he didn't let the ball fall, let's see how this little dwarf smashes it.

The Wolfsburg fans who came to the SGL Arena in Augsburg to watch the game were also amused by Chu Zheng's defensive maneuvers.

From their point of view, Chu Zheng's defense this time was clearly bullying, just like an adult holding down the head of a three-year-old child to make him punch him.

However, these Wolfsburg fans soon stopped laughing and fell into the abyss.

During stoppage time in the first half, De Bruyne was suddenly intercepted by an Augsburg player on the right side of the center circle.

Then Augsburg immediately launched a wing attack.

The ball was delivered to the feet of Baba Rahman on the wing. This guy and the Augsburg midfielder Cole quickly broke through the heavy encirclement of Wolfsburg's wing.

Then Baba Rahman broke through Vierinia's defense stuck on the right inside, and entered the penalty area from the left side of the penalty area.

Naldo moved quickly to cover for a close press, and his left knee directly hit Baba Rahman's right thigh.

So Baba Rahman fell logically.

The referee Greify directly blew his whistle and pointed his right hand to the penalty spot.

It was this penalty that ruined Wolfsburg's good situation.

After Dajuan Weverna scored the penalty, Wolfsburg could clearly see that they were in a hurry.

But the more urgent you are, the more you can't get in.

Even from time to time, because of the heavy pressure, Augsburg counterattacked.

Fortunately, Chu Zheng was sitting in the rear, once again defusing Augsburg's counterattacks again and again with phenomenal high-efficiency defense.

But no matter how good Chu Zheng's performance was, it was useless.

Because Wolfsburg's frontcourt was plagued by bad luck today, and it was once again entangled in the old problem of not scoring.

No matter how you attack, you can't score the goal.

In the second half, Dieter Heiking replaced Bendtner and other three offensive players in succession.

Still to no avail.

In the end, Augsburg defeated Wolfsburg 1-0 at home.

This upset was beyond everyone's expectations.

After the end of the game, the Hannover and Bayern games held at the same time also had results.

Bayern easily beat Hannover 3 1-96 away.

The defeat and victory of Wolfsburg and Bayern directly pushed the fans of Wolfsburg into the abyss.

Although Bayern recovered three points and Wolfsburg had the same 58 points, they scored 53 goals.

Wolfsburg scored only 36 goals, which is 17 goals behind them.

Although the Wolfsburg fans had already vaguely expected that the team's three points would be tied by Bayern, they did not expect this day to come so suddenly.
