Step by Step to Win

Chapter 329: Long run continues

To be honest, how much effect can the winter friendly match play on the running-in of your team's back line? In this regard, Gao Shunyao has always been deeply skeptical. Gao Shunyao has been in his debut for a long time, and he has also mixed in different levels of competition. He knows that only enough opponents can make the team have the meaning of running-in. However, can the intensity of the friendly match play this role? In this regard, Gao Shunyao did not believe it.

Worldwide, Wolfsburg is not a strong team in itself, and their reputation is far behind those of the world's top tycoons. In winter friendly matches, top teams such as Bayern, as long as they open their mouths, naturally there are no shortage of fat sheep sent to the door, willing to compete with them in life and death. However, for the Wolfsburg team, it is difficult to find an opponent of sufficient level.

If you can't find a good opponent, you won't be able to make a good run-in. In the two games in Dubai, looking at the performance of his teammates, Gao Shunyao still had some doubts about the defense line designated by Magath in his heart.

Perhaps this is indeed his fault: in all fairness, this is quite good for the back line. Whether Kjaer or Nardo, they are all talented players. Although they had competed for positions before, they were not particularly harmonious, but when Magath said to let them cooperate, they also abandon their previous suspicions and are united. Cooperated. The more experienced Nardo took the initiative to change his playing style to match Kjaer, which made their combination play very well, and it seems that they have made a lot of progress.

Although the cooperation of the two of them is not detailed enough. But they can fight, control the ball, and complement each other. It can also help the frontcourt. In theory, there should be no problem. In fact, they played very well in the friendly matches in Dubai. Facing the Asian team that had come to play in friendly matches, the two of them worked extremely well together, constantly taking the ball to participate in the offensive, and also won applause.

But watch their play. Gao Shunyao still muttered in his heart. He knows that Wolfsburg played against powerful opponents in several scenes during the first half of the season. All were won by defensive counterattacks. For them, defensive counterattack is the foundation of their lives. The Wolfsburg team's defense is very dependent on the back line. This is something that their performance can't show, any flaw. It is possible that Wolfsburg's efforts for a season are in vain. This pair of defenses can't make mistakes. The team has very high demands on them.

Now watching them play well, but if they dare to make such waves when they meet a strong team, then Wolfsburg will die miserably.

"I think they should also know these things. There is no need to worry about them too much, they can play well. They are our teammates and we should trust them."

Gao Shunyao once said his worries to Mandzukic, and listened to him. Mandzukic just advised him not to think too much. His attitude is right, and Wolfsburg has determined that he will not change players, so naturally he has to have more trust in his teammates. How else would you play this ball?

However, Gao Shunyao still feels a little uneasy: Wolf Castle has not introduced side substitutes after all this winter. The number of players transferred in the winter is already small, and there are not many who are willing to come to Wolfsburg as a substitute. After all, this deal did not take place. There is no one on the wing, and the back line is not stable. Is it possible that in the second half of the season, one can only count on Bayern to play worse than himself?

But the league has fallen to worse. What does that mean? Moreover, even if Wolfsburg wants to compare badly, Bayern is afraid that it will not give Wolfsburg this opportunity.

Wolfsburg's wing signings were not settled, but Bayern's striker signings were finished. In order to make up for their problems this winter, Bayern still chose to buy forwards. It’s just surprising that the striker Bayern chose is not a particularly strong main center. They did not chase Cavani, Falcao and other top strikers as people thought, but only bought from Wigan Athletic. Their striker Di Santo.

The Argentine center is the same age as Gao Shunyao, but his experience is completely different from that of Gao Shunyao. He was hailed as a genius player at a young age, starting from more than Gao Shunyao. But it is precisely because of his genius that he was favored by Chelsea and bought it at a high price. As a result, he was at the age of the rising season, but failed to play the game for two consecutive years, wasting years. After being loaned and not kicking out, he moved to Wigan Athletic, where he became the main center, but scored The number is still very few.

For players, after the golden period is wasted, their upper limit will be reduced a lot. The once world-famous genius is now inferior to Gao Shunyao. However, although his strength is not good, it is clear that his luck is still very good. This winter, he was favored by Bayern and brought to Germany.

Bayern’s choice is not surprising: Bayern has already decided to change the head coach next season, and the arrival of Guardiola will definitely reorganize the team. It's no secret that Guardiola likes players with good skills. Lewandowski is a player he must buy. With the arrival of summer, Lewand’s contract is only one year left. Dortmund is said to have agreed to his departure at that time. Therefore, Bayern’s real reinforcement is also prepared to be made at that time.

Guardiola is the future of the team, Heynckes is not-although this is somewhat unkind, but this is indeed the situation that Bayern is facing now. Heynckes is about to leave in half a season, and Bayern is unwilling to spend a lot of money at this time.

The forward introduced now is actually just to survive this half of the season. After half a season, the forward they introduced will inevitably become a substitute and give Lewan a shot. That being the case, of course they don’t have to chase Cavani. Falcao—Bayern is not without the money, but it’s not necessary to do so. Buying a substitute player for tens of millions of dollars is not Bayern’s. style.

Although Di Santo is a bit inferior, he is still a high center. As long as he can activate the frontcourt Ribery and Robben on the court, that's enough. Bayern didn't really need strikers to score. Their tactics are very diverse and it is not difficult to adjust.

Although Bayern's idea is good, the development of things is not as smooth as they thought. Di Santo may theoretically meet Bayern's requirements, but in fact, there are always some reasons why a player does not play well. Although the tactical center did not require a goal, it was not so good. After Di Santo came to the Bundesliga, he did not immediately show the top adaptability. After the second half of the season arrived, their first game faced Borussia. In the game, they have not been able to win.

The process of the game was similar to what Gao Shunyao had expected. It was hurriedly replaced by Bayern with Di Santo as the main player. Although the audience was dominant, it was difficult to have a good front-line cooperation. Di Santo and his teammates don't have any tacit understanding at all, and their playing is completely out of the same rhythm as others.

Although he is the fulcrum in front of the goal, every time the football reaches his feet, the overall attack will either suddenly slow down, or there will be no running coordination. Di Santo did not know exactly how to help Ribery and Robben play. When he played on the field, he still relied mainly on his experience in the Premier League.

Throughout the game, his three-footed shot missed the corners, and one kick was too straight, without any threat. And he didn't do a good job of cooperating in front of the door several times. Twice threatening the ball, one pass was too early, the teammates did not have the tacit understanding of the position, once the threat was passed into a half of the ball, causing Robben almost injured, this game he played terribly.

It is precisely because of his bad situation that Bayern basically did not score a goal in this game. With more than 20 shots in the game, only Mueller scored one. Not only that, because of the crazy offense, Bayern also exposed the loopholes in their defense, making Borussia a successful counterattack. As a result, the ball was tied 1-1.

In the first half of the season, Bayern played against the sky with a record of one loss and one tie for half a season, but in the second half of the season, it seems that they have really fallen. Di Santo can't adapt to the tactics, Bayern can't find a useful center, this loophole Wolfsburg has long been expected, and their guess is not wrong.

However, for this game, Heynckes did not pay much attention to it after the game. Although he did not win, he still affirmed Di Santo when it comes to the game.

"He has not yet adapted to the Bundesliga style of play, but his tactical execution is very good. I believe he will have a bright future in the Bundesliga and he is capable of doing better. I believe he will overcome this problem soon. , Continue to exert strength."

Heynckes' words did not satisfy the media. They seemed that Heynckes was just justifying his signing mistakes. Although the veteran is also a top coach, the Sanya king last season made the media criticize him a lot, and Bayern negotiated with Guardiola to take the lead and gave him a lot of pressure. The media are also displeased with him right and left, and there are many doubts about his approach~www.ltnovel.com~ But these words make Gao Shunyao very concerned, because these words seem to be just a clever explanation, but if you think about it, What he said seemed to be correct.

Indeed, although Di Santo did not play well, he has been working hard to cooperate with his teammates on the court. Although the pass is not good, but at least he has this awareness. His problem is just not adapting, not not being uncooperative.

This kind of problem is very easy to solve, especially when the opponent is surrounded by top players to cooperate, it is definitely not a difficult thing to make some changes and further cooperate. Although Bayern tied the game this time, Heynckes was right. They will quickly overcome this problem and continue to become the invincible Bayern.

Heynckes has reason to be confident, because he knows that the negative effects of Di Santo will not last long. What's more, there is another very important reason for his self-confidence: Although Bayern did not win this round, their scores with Wolfsburg were not caught up by Wolfsburg.

In the eighteenth round of the league, when Bayern drew a tie, Wolfsburg also reaped its second tie in the league. They were tied by Stuttgart and missed a great opportunity to chase points. (To be continued)
