Step by Step to Win

Chapter 276: Own position

As a coach, although Magath has always been a tyrant, his experience and ability should not be underestimated. He knows when the team needs supervision and when it needs encouragement. After the team did not play well because of carelessness, he would threaten the entire team with punishment, and when the team lost because of the energy involved in the national team game, he would not force the team to burden the team with unnecessary pressurized.

Although, he often does things too tough, which makes the players extremely unhappy. Although he doesn't like to maintain relationships with players, he doesn't pay attention to proportions when he speaks. But I have to admit that he can still lead the team forward. He did not gently encourage the players, but a simple comparison between the Champions League and the Losers Cup has already made the players quite concerned.

What he said about the Losers' Cup actually refers to the Europa League-many giants look down on the Europa League. Teams such as Manchester United and Real Madrid have not played the Europa League for many years, and Bayern has played the Europa League once in the past few years. It is also regarded as a great shame by Bayern. For such a top-notch team, for them, the Champions League is the only game that suits their identity, the Europa League? In the eyes of the top giants, that is the trophy that losers will fight for.

But the title of the Loser's Cup is understandable for the rich to talk about it, but it seems a bit too much for a team like Wolfsburg to say it is the Loser's Cup. They are not a top-tier team like Bayern. At the beginning of the season, their task was to compete for European qualification. Although in winter they carried out generous signings. It's definitely not going to the Europa League anymore, but to call it the Losers Cup is still quite inconsistent with their identity-for a team like them that was still relegated last season. What qualifications do you have to laugh at others as a loser?

However, Magath said so in front of everyone on the team. And his words also made the players quite excited: what he didn't reveal in his words is that he has already demanded his team by the standards of a wealthy team. The trophies that the wealthy teams don't like, he also looks down on. For the players, this is undoubtedly an invisible encouragement, and they are also willing to regard themselves as a wealthy player-under Magath's demanding requirements. What is hidden is the appreciation of the players, and the players will naturally not dislike this.

And want to treat yourself as a giant player. Naturally, we must give full play to the level of the rich. It's always a tie, but it's not like a big team should do. The boring battle between 0-0 and Kaiserslautern can be said to be quite inappropriate. What they should do is fight for victory and use enough victory. Come to write honor for your team.

And the victory they wanted was finally obtained in the immediate home game. In this game, against Leverkusen, Wolfsburg played very well.

Leverkusen is also considered one of the powerful Bundesliga, and their strength is not weak. It's just this battle with Wolfsburg. Although they played well, Wolfsburg clearly played even better. Their enthusiasm is completely different from the previous game.

The game started. They hit their opponents by surprise. When Leverkusen got the ball in the backcourt, Gao Shunyao immediately began to rush for the defender. The central defender, harassed by Gao Shunyao, sent the ball to the side with a pass. But at this time, Perisic, who had long been waiting for the opportunity, jumped on and grabbed the ball. He and Gao Shunyao are near the penalty area at this time. This opportunity is simply not good enough, and Perisic immediately hit the through ball behind Leverkusen's defense line, and Gao Shunyao also rushed through the opponent's defense line at this time. In the case of the defender's pursuit and the goalkeeper's attack, he slapped lightly. Hit the football to the goal and scored Wolfsburg's first goal.

Leverkusen's failure, and the anti-grab of Wolfsburg persisted for a season, finally played a role. And Wolfsburg’s offense has not stopped. Their players have been in good shape recently, and it is not just Gao Shunyao who can play the best.

This time, the passer was Turan on the right, and he made a 45-degree high pass and kicked it towards Mandzukic. The pass was good, and Mandzukic's handling was even more beautiful. He jumped up and unloaded the high-altitude ball smoothly with his shoulder. The football was flew up on his shoulder, and the trajectory of the fall is also very easy to judge. And Mandzukic also took advantage of this opportunity. After he landed on the ground, he volleyed the ball to the goal without waiting for the ball to land.

Standing near the right post, he suddenly turned around to shoot with this kick, which was also close to the post. At such a close distance, the opponent's goalkeeper could not defend at all, and the football went straight into the goal, allowing Wolfsburg to further consolidate the victory.

Facts have proved that when the players of Wolfsburg are free from the troubles of the national team, they can play very well when they have enough physical strength. Mandzukic's excellent state is the best proof. After defeating Leverkusen, they also faced Nuremberg in the away game, and they did not disappoint.

The Wolf Fort, who played away, did not attack as arrogantly when he played at his home court. In the game, they chose a more secure defensive counterattack, rather than blindly offensive. They are defending, and Nuremberg did not choose to attack wildly. This choice made the game look a little dull, but Wolfsburg's goal was not bad.

In the game, the first to seize the opportunity to score is Mandzukic. In a counterattack from Wolfsburg, Matic gave the ball to Gao Shunyao running in the middle.

Gao Shunyao, who got the ball in the frontcourt, was still more than ten meters away from the penalty area, but Nuremberg's defense had already begun to shrink at this time. Gao Shunyao knew that counterattacks needed speed and he needed to make the ball move faster, so he took the ball extremely quickly and gave the ball to Mandzukic who was rushing up from the penalty area.

At the front of the penalty area, Mandzukic, who got the ball, suddenly stopped and changed direction, throwing off the defense, and a powerful volley broke the opponent's gate.

And this goal was just the beginning. Soon, in another counterattack, Salihamidzic, who was rotated out of the field, made a two-to-one match with Mandzukic in the penalty area, and he had a beautiful kick. Shot, the score expanded to 2-0. And his teammates successive goals, so that Gao Shunyao also came to the state. Before the end of the game, in a corner kick from Wolfsburg, he shook his head to the goal, which once again expanded the score.

3-0, this away win of Wolfsburg was clean and tidy.

Two consecutive games scored goals, Mandzukic and Gao Shunyao's state is also completely back. Both forwards were able to score goals one after another, which also made the team very happy. Seeing them playing better, even the teammates were amazed.

"It's a pity, if you play more steadily this season, you might be able to compete for the small steel cannon."

What they said is the Bundesliga's best scorer award, and their words are undoubtedly a compliment. However, this sentence made the two people only shake their heads and smile bitterly: They don't even bother to think about that kind of thing, because even if they think about it, it doesn't make much sense.

Huntelaar doesn't know what kind of wind he has drawn this season. He has scored constantly at Schalke and his efficiency is surprising. Compared with him, the strikers of other teams in the Bundesliga are all inefficiently scoring goals. Although Wolfsburg played well, their strikers are still far inferior. This is obviously a compliment. Just listen.

Moreover, Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic also understood that they needed victory more than a small steel gun.

After Nuremberg, Wolfsburg returned to his home court and also ushered in a big victory. This time their opponent was Hamburg, and it was easy and pleasant to win their game.

Hamburg is not particularly good in the league. Wolfsburg played against them in the first half of the season, and they all won. And now, with the aftermath of two consecutive league victories, facing Hamburg at home, they played even more beautifully.

After the game started, Hamburg has been in a defensive state. But their defense did not allow themselves to hold on for too long. At 21 minutes, Perisic took a long shot after getting the ball from outside the penalty area and broke through the gate of Wolfsburg first, and the killing of the game officially began.

Wolfsburg's offense was quite efficient. After Perisic scored, another wave of their offensive was overwhelmed when the opponent wanted to counterattack. Turan's pass gave Mandzukic a one-on-one chance in the penalty area. He successfully ran out of an open space with his explosive power, and then pushed the ball into the ball. In the net.

With two goals, the game has become one-sided. Before long, during a free kick, Gao Shunyao's shot hit the opponent's defender and refracted it into the net, which once again expanded the score. And this is not the end. After the start of the second half, taking advantage of a corner kick, Perisic used a beautiful header from the far corner to expand the score again. The 4-0 score also made Hamburg completely lose confidence. In a defense, Gao Shunyao was put down in the penalty area by a Hamburg player~www.ltnovel.com~ which also gave Wolfsburg a chance to kick. Perisic scored a penalty kick, staged a hat trick, and turned the game into a slaughter.

The 5-0 game proved how good Wolfsburg's offense was in this game. Wolfsburg finally began to grow stronger in the second half of the season.

After this round, Wolf Castle relied on a wave of three consecutive victories to climb the points to 55 points. And this point also allowed them to rise to third place in the league, trailing Bayern by two points and leading Schalke by two points. Although they have played well during this period, other teams have not slackened. The opponents in the back bite to death and did not leave them any chance to relax. The league competition is still very fierce. If Wolfsburg is a little careless, it may still fall out of the top four.

There are still seven rounds of the game, and there is also Dortmund among Wolfsburg's opponents. It is also a tough fight, which can be said to be extremely difficult to play. However, with the three-round winning streak as the confidence, the morale of Wolfsburg is extremely high: the brave wins when the narrow road meets, and in these final rounds, who loses and who wins should have a final conclusion.

After a season, the Wolfsburg players know their strength very well, and they also know what position their strength deserves.

In the top four of the league, this position must be theirs. (To be continued)
