Just before the game against Bayern, Wolfsburg also emphasized that corner kick attack is also the focus of this game.
It is no secret that Bayern’s team’s corner defense ability is very poor. Neither Guardiola nor Heinks can completely solve this problem. This is also their real weakness. After two world-class coaches, their corner defense skills have not been improved much, which Wolfsburg has long noticed.
This season, because Guardiola’s team focuses on ball control tactics, they have far more opportunities than their opponents in the face of many weak teams, which makes Bayern face a lot less threat from corner kicks. Therefore, not many people have paid attention to their corner defense problems all the time, but Wolfsburg will not let them go because of this flaw. They specially changed their best players with long balls to take the corner kick, which naturally means to make a victory.
After all, Guardiola is not particularly good at defending, especially the set-piece defense, and he is even worse. In this respect, even if he tries to make up for it, he can still be poor and trapped, and this is the best breakthrough direction for Wolfsburg.
From the very beginning, it was clear to Wolfsburg that the thickness and staffing of Bayern almost decided that it was almost impossible to dominate the game by individual substitutions. Guardiola was a good coach, and he could not help but know about substitutions. He also made up for other tactics in Wolfsburg through his own tactics, which made it very difficult for Wolfsburg to win.
However, Wolfsburg is not unprepared for this, but their real killer is this. He is unable to make up the loophole. Bayern’s problem has not been improved for a season, and this time Wolfsburg is ready to see what he can do.
Compared with Bayern Wolfsburg, there is no good substitute thickness, especially in the aspect of ground ball cooperating with attack. They can’t compare with Bayern’s talented people, but the players in Wolfsburg are also very clear about their strengths, their height, their cooperation with them and the importance they attach to set pieces. This is their advantage. Maybe Bayern can make their team’s blade sharper through their substitution, but before that, Wolfsburg was ready to knock on their door with a heavy hammer.
This time Wolf Castle is determined to win.
Section 495 Heading
Last season, Bayern’s league was badly suppressed by Wolfsburg, except for their striker’s accidental injury. The biggest reason was that they couldn’t bear to see a top team lose three set-pieces in four consecutive games last season. This record was a disgrace. This season, after Guardiola took over, Bayern’s growth in possession of the ball made them face less threats, but when the real team could threaten their goal opponents, Bayern’s set-pieces defense was not much better than last season.
De Blau can also see that Bayern players are nervous at the corner. In the restricted area, Bayern players are closely guarded by Man Zukic and Gao Shunyao. Obviously, they also realize that this attack on Wolfsburg is a great threat.
This attitude greatly increased De Blau’s confidence, and he also smiled at the corner.
Wolfsburg corner kick will be very threatening. Even if Bayern realized this, there was nothing they could do. Guardiola was a good coach, but his team never set the ball for defense. During Barcelona, Guardiola had nothing unique in this respect, and this Bayern set the ball for defense, which relied on the height of the players to compete for the top level. The level of man-to-man defense was a little poor.
In this way, De Blau didn’t care. He knew that his teammates would give them some color to see if he stepped back two steps and kicked the ball up, making it fly high and rush towards the restricted area.
De Blau’s corner kick flew into the restricted area. He went straight to the back and pointed it at Man Zukic’s position and flew out directly!
De Blau played a good corner kick, but Bayern players were not vegetarians in the penalty area. When the football flew, boateng also stepped forward quickly and grabbed half a position advantage beside Man Zukic. The two of them jumped up together, while boateng’s head touched the ball first and pushed the football out of the penalty area!
For the first time, the wolf castle fell in the wind, and Bayern occupied the wind by virtue of its height advantage, but it seems that the wind did not bring much benefit to Bayern, because the football fell right in front of the restricted area and was controlled by Shaheen.
Set-piece defense is an individual, not a competition. Bayern’s high jump is very poor in this respect, and it is also the first landing point of the Tangmen body problem. Even if they grab their second landing point, there is still a problem. The Wolfsburg attack found the second landing point at this time, which did not reduce their threat.
Martins pounced on Shaheen’s football, but his activity made Bayern’s defense more vulnerable. Facing him, Shaheen threw the ball straight into the penalty area, and Zukic’s foot also made Bayern’s defense completely fail.
And got the football, Zukic didn’t hesitate. He turned around and picked the ball to Gao Shunyao with one foot.
To everyone’s surprise, Man Zukic chose to handle the ball in the penalty area at this time!
His ball made everyone look unexpected. No one expected Man Zukic to play such a skill in such a mess. He didn’t choose to hit the door directly or give the ground ball to Gao Shunyao to look for opportunities. His practice turned out to be to pick up the ball and let it fly to the middle!
It’s so wonderful that it’s not like Mann Zukic’s handwriting. No one thought that he was always famous for his impact. He actually played such a trick at such a time! It’s not surprising that the fancy ball comes out as a midfielder, but it’s unthinkable that Man Zukic comes out.
However, if you observe yourself, you can also find that this ball-picking is not an excellent technique-compared with those top midfielders who have picked the ball over the crowd and handed it to their teammates, Man Zukic’s ball is just a horizontal pick, which is much easier to judge the position of his teammates, and his ball is a little too simple compared with those who have picked it over the crowd, because now the players have run back and forth twice in the penalty area, and there are no people in the penalty area who can’t say that this ball can’t cross the defense.
Although it’s not easy to pick the technique, it’s not too difficult if it’s not over the defensive ball. Man Zukic’s kick is actually nothing more than kicking the ball from the ground to the middle, which has turned into a foot-to-foot fight for the ball and needs to worry about the middle offensive again in the game.
It doesn’t seem difficult to watch his ball, but sometimes these small changes are enough to make the game change dramatically.
Just now, when Bayern headed the ball out of the penalty area for the first time and Shaheen got the ball, almost all Bayern players would make a long-range shot in front of the goal. It is precisely because of this that at that time Bayern’s defense line had begun to press as a whole, and after Shaheen handed the ball to Man Zukic with one foot, in order to prevent Man Zukic from turning around and shooting, their defense line began to shrink again and there was some confusion for a while.
Of course, despite the chaos, Bayern still has a large number of defensive players in it. It is not easy to find an opportunity in their defense, but when Man Zukic picks up the ball, everything is different because this opportunity is comparable.
Bayern players in the restricted area have lost the momentum that they were just ready to compete for the golf ball. When the football flew, Gao Shunyao was surrounded by Dante and rushed to the football with him, but it was still blocked by Gao Shunyao. Bayern’s corner kick defense situation has been disintegrated with the running. In the restricted area, Wolfsburg is much weaker to face the defense.
Bayern’s set-piece defense was simply torn. Although they won the first header by relying on their players’ physical advantages, they all lost to Wolfsburg in terms of second landing prediction or subsequent tactical changes near the restricted area. After all, it is not that simple to win the set-piece defense. It is unimaginable for some teams to train. It is too small to think that they want to defend their opponents’ headers by relying on their own players’ good height.
This time Bayern suffered. In the restricted area, Gao Shunyao ran against the fallen football and threatened Bayern’s goal. This time, the Wolfsburg players have to talk to Neuer directly again.
Neuer is already ready in front of the goal, and he also wants to see if Gao Shunyao will attack the goal.
Strictly speaking, this ball was not particularly excellent for Zukic. In fact, when Gao Shunyao ran over to try to head the ball, he also found that the football position was a little biased. It was not so easy to head the ball, but it was Dante who was eyeing it around him and Gao Shunyao didn’t have a chance to hesitate more. He made a judgment in the shortest time and jumped up against the football.
Not too good football placement makes it difficult for Gao Shunyao to make a good effort to face this football in the middle, but even so, he is not without means to rely on his excellent waist and abdomen strength. In the middle, Gao Shunyao bends backwards as if he had tightened his strength into a bow, which also formed an excellent lag. In the middle, he also had to adjust his head to face the falling football. Gao Shunyao turned the extremely difficult angle of catching the ball into a very excellent opportunity by relying on his excellent physical condition and mastery of heading skills.
At half-time, Gao Shunyao gave full play to his physical advantage, so his physical condition made him unreasonable to worry that he would not score goals.
Stagnation adjustment Facing the incoming ball, Gao Shunyao adjusted his state to the best football. Gao Shunyao’s body was like a slingshot in the middle, suddenly touching the football. The football was clicked out by him and suddenly flew out towards the goal!
The football was pushed out by Gao Shunyao and fell towards the right corner of the goal. Neuer jumped up in front of the goal to stop the football, but he didn’t expect that Gao Shunyao didn’t hit the door directly towards the goal. He headed a small arc and flew towards the goal!
Gao Shunyao’s header skill is doubtful in this attack, and it is absolutely the top level. It is this small arc that makes Neuer jump in front of the door in vain, but the football crosses his finger and crosses towards the goal!
The Wolfsburg attack finally worked again, and this time even Neuer couldn’t stop Wolfsburg from scoring!
Nearly eight minutes later, the goal whistle finally sounded again. After eight minutes of fighting, Wolfsburg scored the second goal in the game, and this goal finally made Wolfsburg reverse the game. In this game, Bayern was reversed!
One draw and one loss in the league gave Wolfsburg a huge advantage over Bayern this season, and it was almost out of breath. However, in the cup, Wolfsburg finally got revenge. This game proved by their own actions that they are definitely no worse than Bayern!
Section 496 Final
When Gao Shunyao headed the ball into the net for a moment, Guardiola Kenai sighed. He knew very well how much it hit Bayern when Wolfsburg scored a goal near the end of the game. He knew very well what confidence his team had in playing a game, and being reversed at the last moment was definitely enough to make Bayern’s morale fall to the bottom.
This decline in morale may not last long for a strong team like Bayern, but even for a minute, this game is enough to win or lose, and as he expected, Gao Shunyao scored the goal but dominated the game.
After Gao Shunyao scored, Bayern couldn’t attack. Although Guardiola made a good tactical arrangement, Bayern didn’t have the heart to carry out his tactics after losing the ball. Wolfsburg obviously laughed at the end of the German Cup, and they won by better arrangement.
The goal in 8 minutes of the game ended the final header between Wolfsburg and Bayern. Bayern scored the goal first in the game, but the final victory was attributed to Wolfsburg. After Wolfsburg and Bayern played three times, one draw and one loss in one season, Wolfsburg finally won a victory, which also brought them one step closer to the cup champion.
After losing the hope of the league title, it is a comfort to win the cup, big or small. 1. The results let them advance to the final smoothly, but in the final, they can beat the Bundesliga team Kaiserslautern, so this year’s German Cup is their bag.
Of course, it is not easy for Kaiserslautern to stand out in the chaotic German Cup competition this year. If Wolfsburg are the dark horses in the Champions League, then they are definitely the dark horses in the German Cup. It is a miracle that this team is so stupid that it has shown its resilience in the German Cup, and many people admire it. Even if Wolfsburg has great advantages, they dare not say that they will win.
However, on the whole, Wolfsburg still has a great advantage. After all, Kaiser ranked fourth in the league except for the cup. They still need to work very hard to upgrade in the next few games. Compared with Wolfsburg, they are very heavy, which makes them extremely unpopular with the media.
In the final against a tired German team, it seems that Wolfsburg is still quite likely to win, and the more I think of the championship at hand, the more the media admire Wolfsburg’s victory, but they don’t blame Bayern for losing in such an important head.
"Guardiola is responsible for losing this game, not others."
After the game, the media pointed the finger at the change in the game, except for ChaGuardiola. In many media’s view, Guardiola’s move was the biggest reason for Bayern to miss the triple crown, so this view was very popular and gained a lot of support.
Guardiola has always been cared for in the Bundesliga for a season. Whether it is the media or the league body, this world-class coach is highly respected. Coaches of other teams in the Bundesliga have also complained a lot. For example, if other coaches quarrel with referees, they will be red cards, but Guardiola and referees don’t have to worry about any problems. This is a partiality that once made the whole league extremely dissatisfied and complained a lot about the Bundesliga.
However, people often ignore the fact that Guardiola can get the media’s appreciation, and the league width is largely due to his team’s excellent performance in the Bundesliga or the media. They are all looking forward to seeing Guardiola lead Bayern to make great reforms, so they will give Guardiola a lot of support. When Guardiola’s team is not as bad as they thought, they will be the first to express their dissatisfaction with Guardiola. This also makes him face accusations much more fiercely than before.
People say that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Everyone expects Guardiola’s team to be the first in the world, so they can’t beat Wolfsburg, which is enough for him to face a lot of accusations.
It is probably Guardiola himself who can face these accusations calmly. Although people were full of doubts about him after the game, he did not make too fierce remarks about these accusations.
"If I don’t change my game, some people will think that I am too conservative. Even in the Champions League, the team has shown problems in the face of Paris. I still insist on my tactics, so the most important issue is not what tactics my team is, but that my team lost."
In an interview after the game, Guardiola didn’t give credit for his league title or shirk his responsibility in the game. After admitting his mistakes, he also dared to take them, but he didn’t accept the criticism. Obviously, he also has his own views on people’s criticism of him now
Guardiola saw the media accusation very clearly, and he also explained it himself. Although the media accused him a lot at this time, he did not care too much with the media, but simply explained his views on this matter.
And his view is indeed correct. In the final analysis, people accuse him of losing the game not because of his change of formation-no matter how a team can win the game, it will not be cared about. In fact, during Guardiola’s coaching period, Bayern fans missed the Heinz era in the Bundesliga. There were not a few tacticians who came and were not picky about tactics, and this was the problem.
Whether it’s ball control or fast break, it doesn’t matter much to the resistance of fans with different tactics. In the past, Chelsea’s shrinking method won the Champions League, and the fans were as happy as it was. Who cares about winning the championship? And Guardiola’s problem is obviously here. He is in trouble, not because his team changed sides, but because he lost.
Guardiola also has his own views on what to change in the game.
"It’s bad to lose against Wolfsburg, but we also gained a lot. It’s very good for me to play against such a strong team as Wolfsburg before the match against Real Madrid. If I have to choose this game again, I will still do so. I believe it is of the greatest benefit to my team."
