Mass Arena.
The European war atmosphere is booming.
The encounter between Wolfsburg and Inter Milan has made the home team fans full of imagination.
When the starters of both teams appeared, Diet Black Gold could feel Inter Milan coach Manic's absent-mindedness in the European war.
Inter Milan still reserves some of its personnel use.
Wolfsburg has narrowed the points gap by Bayern Munich in the league, and some media have suggested that Wolfsburg give up the UEFA Cup and focus on the league.
However, Black Gold's feeling about the team is another matter. The two core members of the team, De Bruyne and Ye Yifeng, hope to go further in the European game.
It is natural that the more powerful a player is, the more he wants to prove himself through more eye-catching games. This is a challenge for them, and their strong confidence also makes them firmly believe that they can win the challenge.
Inter Milan coach Mancini really cannot have too high enthusiasm for the UEFA Cup. The team has a poor record in the league. He returned to Meacha to put out the fire in November last year. Inter Milan cannot shake Juventus' dominance in the Inter Milan league. Attacking the top three has become a more practical goal for the two Milan heroes, but even the goal of not a champion is also out of reach.
The Europa League will follow the circumstances and strive for a good performance in the league so that he can have room to play and set sail again next season.
The players on the court have another idea. Everyone knows that the league is gone, and the Europa League stage can make them shine to a greater or lesser extent!
When the starters of the two teams shook hands, the Wolfsburg generals could clearly feel the arrogantness of Inter Milan players.
Wolfsburg's starting lineup is still 4312 today.
Goalkeeper: Benalio.
Defenders: Vierinia, Naldo, Knoch, Ricardo Rodriguez.
Midfielders: Arnold, Gustavo, De Bruyne, and Gilavogi.
Forward: Dost, Ye Yifeng.
Be cautious in the European game, so Black Gold still strengthened its defense and confrontation in the midfield.
Inter Milan starts 433.
Goalkeeper: Cariso.
Defenders: Dambrosio, Ranokia, Juan Jessus, Thornton.
Midfielders: Medel, Guarin, El Nanes.
Forwards: Shachiri, Icardi, Palacio.
Players like the team's main goalkeeper Handanovic and the midfielder Kovasic all sat on the bench today.
With the whistle of the game, the game officially started.
Wolfsburg lacks Calijuli and Perisic, and the offensive end can only rely on two forwards and De Bruyne, plus other midfielders from time to time back and assists from full-backs.
Now they can flexibly switch between conservative and radical styles. With more practical combat, they can be familiar with the operation.
In the third minute of the game, Ye Yifeng received a pass from Jilavoji on the left side of the frontcourt. The three Inter Milan midfielders were all defensive.
Although it may not be able to play the chain defense signature feature of Serie A team at its peak, there is absolutely no problem with compressing space and basic joint defense skills.
Medel quickly rushed to him for pressing and intercepting, Ye Yifeng turned around to dodge the ball, and today he felt very good whether he was observing the situation or competitive state.
Wait the ball in the middle and find the pass line, and exit the ball to the middle in front of the penalty area.
After Dost acted as a fulcrum to receive the ball in the middle, the pressure behind him was not very high, but Guarin's return to defense forced him to quickly get the ball.
Seeing Ye Yifeng cutting inward, he quickly passed the ball short.
Ye Yifeng did not get rid of Medel. Under the pressure of the opponent's confrontation and pressing, he took the ball first and then stopped to protect the ball and blocked Medel behind him. The defender Ranokia looked at the right time and pressed forward.
Ye Yifeng lightly pushed the ball behind Ranokia, and then suddenly stepped forward into the penalty area.
He had already missed Ranokia and thought this breakthrough was successful, but as soon as he entered the penalty area, he saw full-back Denbrocio return to defense and get the ball in place and pass the goalkeeper first.
Serie A team does have a set of defense adjustments when adjusting the defense line. The defenders are grabbing and the full-backs are making up for the position, so there will be no gaps in the penalty area.
This linkage reminded Ye Yifeng of the overall defensive philosophy he learned when listening to teachings under Ranieri.
Inter Milan organized an offensive, and the three midfielders made a simple and fast pass and advanced. Ye Yifeng took the initiative to actively retreat and participated in the defense.
When Inter Milan's midfielder was unable to play a subtle pass and cut to continue to advance, they chose to let the striker create opportunities themselves.
Shaqiri quickly started after receiving the right side of the frontcourt, and he was very proud of his dribbling. Facing Ricardo Rodriguez's fake breakout and crossing the outside line, his personal ability does have the shadow of the "Swiss Messi" in the past.
His cross quality was average, and Naldo took the lead in clearing, and then Wolfsburg turned from defense to offense.
When De Bruyne encountered a frontal interception from Elnanes in the central circle, he passed the ball diagonally behind the opponent.
Elnanes looked back and was surprised to see Ye Yifeng responding nearby. It seemed that for a striker, the distance was a bit close.
Guarin immediately stepped forward to press, and Ye Yifeng passed the ball shortly on the right side like a stroll.
Arnold stepped forward and sent a short pass in support.
De Bruyne intercepted and responded, and Wolfsburg's midfield triangle transmission was easily completed.
With Ye Yifeng and De Bruyne, even if the other players in the midfield are engineers and blocks of wood, they can play a supporting role in the offense.
Because they will not pass the ball to their teammates, they will give their teammates enough observation time and response space, and let their teammates find the pass line at a glance to send the pass.
Since Ye Yifeng turned on "free mode", Wolfsburg has never encountered difficulties in organizing midfield.
He and De Bruyne are now in tune with each other.
When the two pushed the Inter Milan defense together, Elnanes and Guarin chased back, and Medel blocked the middle of the penalty area, with the goal of controlling Ye Yifeng.
The moment De Bruyne returned to Guarin to defend and hit him in front of him, he stopped the ball and turned to the left. Elnanes was about to stretch his legs, but De Bruyne made the ball.
The football seemed to be passing to find Ye Yifeng, but Ye Yifeng missed the ball while running in a diagonal position.
Medel almost hit the football, but instead hesitated after Ye Yifeng missed the ball.
The missed football rolled in front of Dost, and he kicked the ball across.
Jesus unexpectedly did not cooperate with Ye Yifeng's goal and Ye Yifeng's running start.
Ye Yifeng dribbled into the right side of the penalty area.
David Thornton assisted in defense in the penalty area and wanted to stretch his legs to destroy the ball, but Ye Yifeng took the lead in blocking Thornton.
Thornton unexpectedly, Ye Yifeng did not control the ball, but instead fought. He staggered a few steps to the side with some unsteady center of gravity, and could only watch Ye Yifeng kick the ball!
The football flew toward the remote corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Cariso moved one step to save the ball and saved it from the baseline.
Ye Yifeng let out a deep breath, turned around and gave Dost a thumbs up.
The ball made just now is really beautiful.
Mancini frowned slightly on the sidelines.
Playing the Europa League is a Buddhist mentality, but it does not mean that winning or losing does not matter.
I expected that I would encounter some trouble if I passed Wolfsburg, but it shouldn't be that the defense line was so easily broken!
The key is that Wolfsburg did not make a big attack.
After excluding Arnold's support, they used three people to break up Inter Milan's defense and formed a shot!
This is not a good sign.
De Bruyne has been famous for a long time, and Ye Yifeng is a rising star.
The Wolfsburg Gemini are being paid attention to by major European families. Unfortunately, even if Inter Milan is paying attention, they are part of the "poor people can't afford it".
Therefore, there will be no focus on tracking.
Who would watch Ferrari's new product launch conference?
But Wolfsburg fans at Volkswagen Arena took it for granted.
If Inter Milan did not adopt a defensive counterattack tactic, then in Wolfsburg, De Bruyne and Ye Yifeng could definitely create many opportunities in the regular confrontation, even if only one Dost acts as a fulcrum.
Dost is a fixed character. In addition to organizing offenses, De Bruyne also has the ability to score in the back. Ye Yifeng is all-around from the midfield organization to the frontline killer!
In the 8th minute of the game, Vierigia and Arnold joined forces to intercept coach Palacio, and Wolfsburg's attack started again.
Ye Yifeng received a pass from Jilavoji on the left side of the front court. He pushed forward along the side road, but his speed was not fast. Medel quickly assisted in the side road. He shook his shoulder and wanted to speed up the left front road. Medel immediately blocked his forward line. As soon as he accelerated his pace, he found that Ye Yifeng had dialed the ball and cut across toward the middle road.
When Medel was passed by, he went back to chase Ye Yifeng, the latter passed the ball straight ahead.
Dost took the initiative to run and came to the left side of the penalty area. After stopping the ball, he was pressed from behind Ranokia. He fought on the spot and then dribbled back.
Guarin rushed towards him quickly, and at this moment, Dost hit the ball across the front of the penalty area and went to the right.
Ye Yifeng arrived.
Ye Yifeng really has different feelings about Italy's defense line.
Even if his impact poses a threat, the defender will not take the initiative to rob!
Hesus would rather adjust his position carefully than rush to snatch it up.
Ye Yifeng knew what the other party was waiting for.
Elnanes' return to defense support!
Just as Elnanes and Jessus were about to form a pincer attack on Ye Yifeng, Ye Yifeng suddenly protected the ball on the spot and changed direction.
Since he has received the blessing of Beckenbauer, he has learned a new trick.
If you don't have to control the ball, you have to rush towards the opponent's goal.
Sometimes, slow down, stop and dodge the opponent's press with a simple ball protection method, which can make you better choices.
This time, he dodged Elnanes' return to the defense and pressed the ball gently knocked back to the center position.
De Bruyne killed the ball diagonally and shot!
No one interfered with him.
Goalkeeper Cariso was at a loss, and the football brushed the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line in the blink of an eye.
Almost scored!
De Bruyne looked at Ye Yifeng, and the two seemed to be able to understand each other's eyes.
Inter Milan doesn't seem to be very good either.
The generals on Inter Milan's defense line looked at Ye Yifeng with a lot of thoughts.
Ye Yifeng seemed to be constantly changing styles, without absolutely amazing speed, but at critical moments, he always controlled the ball in place and dodged and got rid of it as casually as a classical front midfielder, but he did not stick to the ball for a long time.
The most important thing is that he showed his ability as a striker after the opening game and completed a threatening shot in the penalty area.
Chapter completed!
