Chapter 22 The Lost Inter Milan
After the game with Werder Bremen, most of Wolfsburg's main players are preparing for the 24th round of the Bundesliga against Augsburg.
Compared with the opponent RB Leipzig in the German Cup, which is a Bundesliga team, the next league opponent Augsburg is the top team in the Bundesliga.
According to experts' estimates, this year's Augsburg should be able to get tickets for the Europa League next season.
Facing two opponents with such a big gap in strength, Dieter Heijin naturally used a group of pure substitute lineups to play away against Leipzig.
Keep the main players at home and deal with the next fierce battle in Augsburg.
Facing Wolfsburg, which has the strength of a downstream team in the Bundesliga even if it is a substitute lineup, Leipzig, who is not strong enough, lost [-]-[-] at home without a surprise.
Wolfsburg also successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the German Cup this season.
But behind it is facing Augsburg, which is struggling to qualify for the European Theater.
The Wolfsburg people experienced a predictably tough battle.
On March 2015, 3, at the home WWK Arena in Augsburg.
In the end, relying on Zhao Jinge to make a point, De Bruyne succeeded in taking the penalty, and only then did he defeat Augsburg in the away game.
Wolfsburg had the advantage in the away game, but there was an embarrassing situation.In the past, when he had an advantage on the court.
Wolfsburg must be pressing across the board and bombarding the opponent's half-court.
But this time it was under the tenacious defense of the Augsburgers. Although the scene was very advantageous, they could not convert such a high ball possession rate into shots and goals.
If the entire match hadn't been due to Zhao Jinge's brilliant breakthrough, the greatest possibility would have been a zero-to-zero handshake between the two sides.
After several consecutive victories, Wolfsburg's offensive firepower seems to have a little problem again.
De Bruyne's recent tasks are really a bit heavy, and his state in the game has recently begun to decline uncontrollably.
Even with constant rotation, the team's core players have been greatly affected by too intensive games.
Fortunately, after the game with Augsburg, Wolfsburg has another seven days of rest.
The next thing they need to face is the most powerful opponent in this devil's schedule, the giants Inter Milan from Serie A.
With the arrival of Inter Milan, fans in the city of Wolfsburg began to get excited before the first round of the Europa League quarter-finals.
This is the first time in the history of the team to compete with Inter Milan, and it is a record of the confrontation that can be written in the history of the team.The fans of Wolfsburg also want to see what is the difference between the Serie A giants!
Although I already know that Inter Milan is going downhill, but I saw such an ordinary Inter Milan without any superstars or legends.
The long-awaited Wolfsburg fans, and even the opponents Wolfsburg players, still felt a little disappointed.
Following Mancini to Wolfsburg's Inter Milan, the most famous name in the lineup turned out to be Shaqiri who had just transferred from Bayern.
Their old goalkeeper Handanovic and the new midfielder Kovacic sat on the bench.
It can also be seen from here that Mancini does not attach much importance to the Europa League.Inter Milan's focus is still on Serie A.
After all, it has been several years since they missed the top four in the league. Under the pressure of Juventus, it is almost impossible to win the championship, but the Champions League qualification still has to fight.
Compared with the Champions League qualification, the Europa League is not so important. After all, with the current Inter Milan lineup, it seems a bit out of reach to achieve good results in the Europa League.
On March 3, the Volkswagen Stadium was surrounded by Wolfsburg fans who heard the news.
The game was also broadcast live by the ESPN division in Germany.
The guest commentators are German football legends Matthaus and Ballack.
"Michael, which side do you prefer in this game." In the live broadcast before the game, Matthaus began to ask Ballack about his views on the game.
"Wolfsburg? They look stronger, but they don't have many advantages."
"What do you think they are better than Inter Milan?" Mateus continued to ask.
"A top midfielder De Bruyne! His performance determines the upper limit of this Wolfsburg team!"
"After Kovacic was replaced by Inter Milan, the gap between the midfielder and Wolfsburg is obviously a bit big."
"As a former excellent midfielder, I believe that Wolfsburg, which has a stronger midfielder, should have an advantage. Lothar, I believe that you and I should agree."
"Is this the understanding of the same midfielder? But I still support Inter Milan more!"
Ballack expressed his opinion, and Matthaus also expressed his opposition with a smile
"Inter Milan has indeed declined too fast these years, but as a member of Inter Milan, I believe their rich experience in European wars will bring them good luck!"
"Okay, the game is about to start. Let's take a look at the lineups of both sides:
The guest Inter Milan sent a 4312 formation
Goalkeeper: Carrizo.
Defenders: D'Ambrosio, Ranocchia, Juan Jesus, Santon.
Midfielders: Medel, Guarin, Hernanes, Shaqiri.
Among them, Shaqiri played the position of the midfielder, and the remaining three lined up in front of the back line.
Forwards: Icardi, Palacio.
Wolfsburg at home is still their most familiar 4231,
Goalkeeper: Benaglio.
Defenders: Vierinha, Robin Knoch, Naldo, Ricardo Rodriguez.
Midfielders: Perisic, Gustav, De Bruyne, Jilavoji, Zhao Jinge.
Forward: Dost.
Well, I won't say much, let's enjoy today's wonderful game together. "
With the whistle of the referee, the strong dialogue between Wolfsburg and Inter Milan began.
As soon as the game started, Zhao Jinge, who was making a breakthrough with the ball, felt obvious resistance, and the No. 18 midfielder Medel on the opposite side seemed very difficult.
Although he is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, his weight of more than 150 kilograms makes him not look thin in defensive confrontation, but full of aggressiveness.
After being harassed again and had to pass the ball back, Zhao Jinge looked at the small man opposite and felt a headache. He deserved to be called Gattuso of Chile.
It really feels a little like Gattuso, there really is no wrong nickname on the football field.Players who can play well-known names are not so easy to deal with.
Ten minutes have passed since the opening, because Zhao Jinge and Perisic's attacks on the wing were restricted by Inter Milan's three midfielders, especially Medel.
Wolfsburg's old tactics of combining side and center can't be played at all.
In the positional battle, although the current Inter Milan can no longer show the characteristics of the Italian chain defense at the peak of the top Serie A teams.
However, the compressed space and basic skills of zone defense in the defensive position battle still made De Bruyne and Dorst's central attack no improvement.
Of course, Inter Milan's own offense is all initiated by Shaqiri alone, and naturally there is no threat. After all, you can't let these three defensive midfielders organize the offense.
Because both sides couldn't play any threatening offensive, the scene of the game didn't look that exciting, which also made the fans who came to the scene feel a little disappointed.
For the fans, of course they want to see a wonderful battle.
Seeing the situation on the field, Dieter Heijin, who knew that relying on the center field alone would not be able to break the deadlock, gave instructions off the field for the full-backs to press on.
Wolfsburg concentrated six people between the midfielder and Inter Milan's penalty area, and continued to break through on both sides and in the center.
With such a numerical advantage, Inter Milan's unbreakable three midfielders were finally hit out of the neutral position, but because there is still a back line behind them.
Although Wolfsburg has a certain advantage on the scene, it still cannot easily overcome Inter Milan's defense. Instead, it is necessary to be careful of Inter Milan's quick counterattack behind them.
In a breakthrough, Zhao Jinge deftly pushed the ball behind Medel, and then used his excellent explosive power to instantly throw away Medel who had reacted.
He went straight to Inter Milan's penalty area. He thought this breakthrough was a success, but just after entering the penalty area, he received an attack from Inter Milan defender Ranocchia.
Zhao Jinge, who was not aware of it for a while, lost the ball, and Ranocchia passed it back to Inter Milan goalkeeper Carrizo, who drove the ball into Wolfsburg's half with a big kick.
Shaqiri started quickly after receiving the ball in the middle, facing Gustav's defense while waving the ball forward, and with a light change of direction, Gustav was thrown away.
Continue to kill with the ball past Wolfsburg's penalty area, and hand the ball to Icardi on the right side of the penalty area.
After blocking Naldo with his back, Icardi turned and passed the ball diagonally to Palacio in front of the goal.
Palacio seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and volleyed from a small angle to break Wolfsburg's goal.
"GOAL!!!! Palacio's goal broke the deadlock on the field! Inter Milan played their own characteristics, rock solid defense, quick counterattack!"
"Michael, it seems that Inter Milan, which I am optimistic about, has gained the upper hand! The boys in Wolfsburg are obviously too anxious, and the pressure is too high!"
Mateus smiled proudly at Barack.
Barack is not to be outdone.
"From the moment just now, we can clearly see that Wolfsburg has mastered the initiative on the field, and the goal will come soon!"
The two commentators began to play a clear-cut arena in the live broadcast room. This is also a means of attracting viewers to watch, attracting more fans to pay attention to the game.
Although a goal was scored because of too much emphasis on offense, the Wolfsburg players still firmly implemented the coach's instructions.
He didn't give up his aggressive offense because he lost the ball.
When Gustav encountered a frontal interception near the center circle, he passed the ball diagonally behind the opponent's player.
After getting rid of Medel's entanglement, De Bruyne rushed to the football landing point to respond.
Guarin immediately stepped forward to press, and De Bruyne passed the ball short to the right like a stroll.At this time, Zhao Jinge stepped forward to catch the ball and sent a short pass again.
Gustav stepped forward to respond, and Wolfsburg played continuous short passes on the right side of the opponent's penalty area.
The three of them continued to cooperate and sent the ball into Inter Milan's penalty area, and the opponent's three defensive midfielders were also desperately fighting back and defending.
At the moment when Gualin returned to defend in front of him, Zhao Jinge suddenly stopped to control the ball, changed direction, took two steps towards the middle of the penalty area, and then gave the ball to Dost, who was behind him and wanted the ball.
After Dost received the ball, he sent the ball forward, and De Bruyne, who came forward to meet the ball, was not soft on his feet.
With a powerful volley, the football was sent into the upper right corner of Inter Milan's goal.
With the scoring of this goal, the Volkswagen Stadium, which was still a little quiet just now, instantly turned into a sea of joy.
"GOAL!!!! GOAL!!!! GOAL!!!!"
Ballack in the studio also continued to cheer for the goal.
"I just said that Wolfsburg will definitely score. De Bruyne played really well in this game!"
This time it was Barak's turn to give Mateus a slightly meaningful smile.
The game continued, looking at Wolfsburg who was still relentlessly pressing across the board.
Mancini on the sidelines couldn't help swearing, is it really so contemptuous of Inter Milan's offense?
It's really a display when you treat me as two forwards in front!
However, most of the ball in the midfield is controlled by Wolfsburg players. Shaqiri can't support it alone. How could Wolfsburg, who has just suffered a loss, let him go.
As long as you pinch Shaqiri, who is the most threatening Inter Milan, that is to pinch Inter Milan's seven inches.
Even if his two forwards are threatening, without the midfielder delivering the ball from behind, he can only stare in the penalty area.
Mancini also wants to do the same to limit De Bruyne, but De Bruyne can continue to cooperate with Zhao Jinge and Perisic.
All three have a good ability to advance with the ball, plus Vierinia on the top and Rodriguez with outstanding skills at his feet.
Wolfsburg's midfield coordination is so smooth.
Even if Gattuso Medel of Chile took the other two midfielders to start a siege, it was still difficult to win the ball.
Even if it is grabbed, it will not be able to reach Shaqiri's feet in the process of passing forward.
In this situation where the opponent is still out of reach, Wolfsburg's ball-handling players are constantly looking for Inter Milan's flaws inside and outside the penalty area.
It's just that the still solid Italian steel line of defense made Wolfsburg's offense several times unsuccessful.
However, the continuous running after the ball and the increasing defensive pressure on the defense made the Inter Milan players feel extremely tired.
Especially the defensive midfielder, at the end of the first half, Chilean Gattuso Medel, who is known for his abundant physical fitness in Inter Milan, was a little bit overwhelmed.
With the end of the first half of the game, I watched the Inter Milan players who returned to the locker room out of breath.
Dieter Heiking was ready to end the suspense of this knockout round in the second half.
Please collect and recommend tickets, thank you for your support!
