Step by Step to Win

Before the start of the season, the summer at Wolfsburg was pretty good. Throughout the summer, they introduced more than a dozen players, plus the young people they promoted, they expanded their first team lineup to more than 30. In this summer's game, they kept trying to get these people on the court in rotation, which also had a very good effect.

Everything about them looks pretty good. The players introduced many new players, and these players also showed their strength. Matic integrated into the team quickly, and Makoto Hasebe still performed well. The old demon Salihamidzic and Wanjinyou Oaks both performed outstandingly. Although Perisic has been slow to integrate, but also has obvious potential-these players seem to have given Wolfsburg a very good future and can go It succeeded.

Especially their forward line, it looks even more outstanding. Mandzukic is still in a lot of good form, and their other two strikers have also performed well. In friendly matches, Helmos kept scoring goals, and after the injury, it seemed to show his strength again. Although Gao Shunyao has begun to play badly, he has found his form after starting several consecutive friendly matches. Immediately afterwards, he returned to China to play in the national team. It was a hat-trick for the national team. At the same time, Helmos, who returned to the main force at Wolfsburg, also opened the goal mode again. , To siege the wolf fort.

Their pre-season friendly games also seemed to prove their strength. In 10 games, they won 8 games, which can be said to be outstanding. They were relegating last season. And this season, they have been reborn.

"This season, the goal of Wolfsburg is the European war."

Before the start of the season. Magath also vowed to talk about his pursuit. His words are a bit arrogant, but they are not impossible. In the 11-12 season, the Bundesliga has become the third league, and their European war places have increased. The top six results for Wolfsburg seem to be not out of reach.

However, in the pre-season friendly. Although Wolfsburg played very well, but when the official game came. Their poor performance turned all previous compliments into lies. Lost in the first game, and lost to the German second team. It was enough to lose, and a striker from the opponent scored three yuan in a row. Even Wolfsburg during the relegation period last season. I haven't played such a shame, how can such a play be regarded as a step toward victory?

Some people take the results of the friendly match at Wolfsburg as a joke. Maybe they are just looking for some underdogs to play and deceive themselves; some people once again use Magath to start a joke. This unpopular coach is always the object of ridicule. And some people think that Wolfsburg is wisely giving up the German Cup-but why does a reborn team give up the Cup? This kind of thing. It's strange in itself. To give up the cup so early, that is what the relegation team needs to do, the goal of Wolfsburg. Is it impossible to relegation again?

After a summer of rectification, Wolfsburg still lost to the second Bundesliga team. Such a level makes people laugh.

Although Magath didn't pay much attention to the sneer from the outside world, he could still expect it. After the game. He has always been sullen in the team, and has no good face to anyone. After the players saw his face. The training has been serious, and the team's senior management also understood that he was in a bad mood, and did not talk to him about the game results. These practices gave him a lot of free time. After the game, he watched the losing game over and over again, carefully looking for the problem.

"In this game, in the first 70 minutes, the situation has always been under our control. Moreover, we have always had a lot of opportunities. It was only bad luck that we did not score. In the last 20 minutes, we played a little bit collapsed. Now, this should be the reason why the team has just been formed and everyone is not familiar enough. Maybe after a while, the situation will be better."

As an assistant coach, Hollerbach has been following Magath to watch the game. He had already summarized the problems presented by Wolfsburg in the game. There were a lot of games before the season, but because of the introduction of too many players, the players of the team still did not really know each other. In this game, they played very well when the front strength was superior, but in a backward situation, it was difficult for them to maintain peace of mind and achieve excellent cooperation. This kind of problem should be regarded as the pain of the team's change of the main force, not particularly serious.

It's just a pity that in this game, Wolfsburg lost the German Cup prematurely.

"It's a lie to talk about bad luck. In the final analysis, it's not good enough...I have considered all of what you said. The team has just been playing together for a month now, and I certainly know that they are not familiar with each other. But of course. Even if the team’s cohesion is not enough, as long as the tailwind is played, the team will not have any problems. I originally thought that there would be no problems against the German second team, but you can take a look at this ball. Is this bad luck?"

Regarding his words, Magath had a different idea, watching the game, his brows were also twisted together.

On the screen, Salihamidzic is passing a ball to Helmos in the frontcourt. This was a pretty good through ball, which went straight through the opponent's back line and sent to Helmos' feet. A single-handed situation was formed in this way. This is an excellent opportunity. The strength of Wolf Fort can also be seen.

However, after watching the game many times, Hollerbach knew what happened next: Helmos cowered in the face of this excellent opportunity and did not choose to shoot immediately. He wanted to adjust the angle, but he got worse and worse. He kicked the ball directly into the arms of the opponent's goalkeeper and stopped the attack.

"At the beginning of the season, it is inevitable that the players are a little nervous."

In response, he can only sigh.

The team has a lot of problems, the players do not cooperate well, and the beginning of the season was tense. I am afraid Magath has long understood these things. It is just that he dares to change so many players because he firmly believes that the team is good. When you can play downwind. Where is the need to worry about the team losing?

Unfortunately, in this game, too many opportunities were wasted. Helmos played well in the early friendly matches. But in this game, he played very poorly.

His sensitive running position and sense of smell have all been lost in the game. Even his shooting skills have fallen a lot because of his lack of relaxation.

this matter. Hollerbach was quite depressed: watching Helmos' play in the friendly match, he thought he could score a lot of goals for the team. Help the team win. However, people really did not expect that in the official game, he played so badly.

This may be the most angry part of Magath: other players are not doing well, Magath is prepared. He doesn't think those can affect the team's performance. However, the poor performance of Helmos was unexpected.

And his performance has become a great problem for Wolfsburg this season: he lost one cup, and after losing one game, Wolfsburg bid farewell to a season's cup.

He is simply putting his own main force position to an end with his own hands.

Although he was defending, Magath's expression was still unhappy. "When playing with the underdogs, he was not nervous. I said long ago that he doesn't like to execute tactics. I know that playing with his little skills and clever players has no future. They face the underdogs very much. Awe-inspiring, but when faced with a strong enemy, there is no alternative. Facing a slightly better team, they will lose their effect and don’t know how to play. Look at this game. He wasted a few opportunities, but not enough. To explain things?"

Magath's words. Hollerbach no longer refuted, he also admitted that he was right.

"What do the media think about this game?"

Watching the game over and over again, Magath accepted the reality of losing. After accepting, he also asked Hollerbach about his views on the media.

Of course, what he asked was not the media's views on the future of Wolfsburg-those things, now that they can only prove that the media is sensationalizing, what he asked was the media's analysis of this game, and Hollerbach had already prepared for this. All right.

"The media are saying that we have too many foreign players. When the mercenaries face the fierce battle, they are not willing to work hard. They didn't play hard enough, which led to our loss..."

"In that case, our local players work very hard? The result of our local players on the field is that we can't even play a German second team?"

The comments of the media made Magath immediately questioned, and in the face of his doubts, Hollerbach could only laugh bitterly.

The responsibility is placed on foreigners. They are the stars if they win, and they become mercenaries if they lose, saying that they are not working hard enough. This approach is indeed a bit excessive.

And they are not to blame for the loss in this game. Compared with them, the local German players are not much stronger. Helmos lost himself because the opponent’s defense was too strong, so let’s not say ~www.ltnovel.com~ The defensive players in the backcourt are basically Germans. As a result, they have not been filled with three goals in a row. .

“Don’t bother with the media. I’ve never been a coach that attracts the media’s liking, and they certainly won’t say good things about me. And there is no need to mention their **** tactical analysis to the players. We are not. Bayern, not Dortmund, we can't recruit good local players, and don't count on foreign aid, can we wait to die? Looking at the performance of Helmos, I think we should use foreign aid, and we should give more Strength."

Magath sneered at the media's comments. Of course he knows that the German media has a dislike for Wolfsburg, which uses a lot of foreign aid, and even dislikes Magath. He has long been used to such things.

In his heart, he has his own views on winning or losing.

Magath glanced at the screen again, and then said again, "This game has already been lost. From next week, our league will begin. If we lose the cup, we will lose. We can't do anything, but the league, we I have already played lightly, so the goal must be achieved. I can still give Helmos a chance to play. I am not opposed to taking care of the local players, but I will not have too much tolerance for such a mistake. In the league I want to win, no matter who it is, can't be my obstacle."
