For the first time this season he scored twice, De Bruyne clenched his fists and declared his presence in front of the home fans for the first time, even getting a little excited and sliding down the track to celebrate.
"Haha! Kevin seems to be a little over-excited. This was just normal for him in the past, but now he has a sense of crisis because of Yi's existence?"
Reese Lubet's words were originally just a joke, but he would never have thought that the real situation was much more serious than he thought.
Just because of having Yi Zhe, Wolfsburg not only has an additional midfield core at the tactical level.
Although Yi Zhe's running distance and passing success rate have not been compromised, he provides enough support to his teammates by hiding himself.
In the final game, Wolfsburg defeated Mainz 3-0 at home. De Bruyne won the best of the match award, but Yi Zhe, who assisted and scored twice, also received enough attention.
"Yi Zhe, may I ask why you were so selfless in this game?" a reporter asked directly. Not only did Yi Zhe not have a shot in the entire game, but he rarely even dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
Yi Zhe was already prepared and just smiled softly: "Because the team needs me. This is the basic quality of a midfielder."
"But the Europa League game proved that you have the ability to decide the game heroically... Is it possible that you have a grudge against Kris Nodal?"
Now Yi Zhe's arsenal is so powerful that even the Wolfsburg media dare not say which side of him is the real him.
"Because the team needs me, this is the basic quality of a midfielder."
With the same answer, Yi Zhe told the truth twice. Of course, his own media was very cooperative and followed his words to interpret logic that was enough to excite the city.
"Yi is making himself stronger than we imagined. He can hide himself behind the team as an unknown metronome, and he can also become a hero like Maradona! Perhaps Wolfsburg will usher in the best
era, we have firmly suppressed Bayern Munich in the standings!"
Although the league has only been nine rounds, Wolfsburg has already scored 25 points, leading Bayern by five points in the standings. After five seasons of being champions, the whole city is beginning to look forward to the home team they have always supported starting to fulfill their season.
The first blow of awesomeness.
Heijin is naturally more aware of the current situation. A good game cannot be broken, and the challenge for him is also great, but he sees clearly that the key is still Yi Zhe.
"Yi, although you sent two assists, I must say that I was not satisfied with your performance in the last game."
Yi Zhe forced a smile and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, sir. I will strive to score goals in every game from now on."
Heijin frowned subconsciously: "Yi, I'm very grateful to you for allowing Kevin to regain his selfless spirit, but I didn't ask you to sacrifice yourself."
Yi Zhe shrugged his shoulders: "Uh... But there's nothing I can do about it, sir. If I want to dominate the game, then Kevin won't have a job."
It's very straightforward, but now that Yi Zhe has the ability to attack and defend, he has such confidence.
But Heijin was quite unwilling: "Yi, are you telling me that I can't do it?"
"There is a proverb in China that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain!"
"Then work hard! Learn how Xavi and Iniesta coexist."
Yi Zhe could only accept it, but he felt helpless. Everyone saw that he and De Bruyne were forced to match Xavi and Xiaobai, but Barcelona's Xavi is the real brain behind the team and barely participates.
Terminator role.
And now that Yi Zhe has this ability, he will naturally not be satisfied with just being Harvey.
But Black Gold seems to have this obsession. Perhaps it is Yi Zhe's selflessness that allowed De Bruyne to regain his confidence and let him see more possibilities. He began to try a double attacking midfielder formation in training, trying to make Yi Zhe and De Bruyne
Browne is closer to the penalty area.
This is a brand new path, and black gold is really something that you can do, and you can directly use the competition to verify it.
The next game is the second round of the German Cup. After eliminating Darmstadt in the first round, Wolfsburg continues to face the German second division team Heidenheim.
There was no suspense about the result of Wolfsburg's two core players. A 4:1 victory. The course of the game seemed to really confirm Heijin's idea. Yi Zhe and De Bruyne exchanged wonderful passes to assist each other's goals, but
Facing such a low-level opponent, one goal conceded is more eye-catching than four goals scored.
Black Gold's formation has also been questioned.
"Does Wolfsburg still need to use this method to build confidence in low-level teams? If Heijing chose to let Yi stay in the midfielder position, there would be no such goal! Luis Gustavo is alone
It’s impossible to cover such a large area! Not conceding a goal against a low-level league opponent is the best way to build confidence!”
Everyone thought that Heijin was the most stubborn, but in the league after the cup match, Yi Zhe returned to the defensive midfielder position.
After going round and round, Black Gold finally found the optimal solution at the most familiar position.
So, it’s still the familiar Wolfsburg.
In the tenth round of the league, they defeated Stuttgart 4:0 away from home. In the eleventh round of the league, they returned to home and defeated Hamburg 2:0. This team that has trained famous players such as Son Heung-min, Van der Vaart, Madavecchia, etc. is already in decline. Now it has
It has reached a level where he is ready to go to the German second division at any time.
The opponent is not important, but in this game, Yi Zhe sent a long diagonal pass to De Bruyne, assisting De Bruyne to volley from the edge of the penalty area and hit the dead center of the goal.
He scored phenomenal goals in two consecutive rounds, and this kick is enough to compete for this year's Puskas Award.
De Bruyne was very high-spirited in front of the media cameras after the game, and rarely invited Yi Zhe to be interviewed together. The two were in the same frame for the first time this season, which can be regarded as a positive response to the rumors that the two have been competing for the status of the locker room.
Only Yi Zhe knew the reason best. He smiled directly in front of the media cameras and said: "I have a conflict with Kevin? Haha! What a joke! If this is the case, can I still cooperate happily with my teammates at Wolfsburg?"
One sentence stopped everyone's mouth. The current Wolfsburg team is stronger than the team led by Dzeko in the 2008-09 season.
Now they lead Bayern Munich by as many as seven points. In the past ten years, no team in the Bundesliga has been able to suppress Bayern like this after one third of the schedule. For a time, Wolfsburg attracted the attention of all the media.
"Yi running at full speed! Champion Wolfsburg attacking with all his strength?"
"Bild" has already published such a headline, but Bayern coach Guardiola is still confident when interviewed by the mouthpiece "Süddeutsche Zeitung": "There is no opponent in the Bundesliga that Bayern cannot defeat. The season is still very long, and it is not until the last minute.
It would be foolish to judge the winner, but now as Bayern Munich coach I have no objection to such foolish behavior."
Guardiola is somewhat out of his depth. After all, he is also a godfather-level coach. But because he played against Yi Zhe for the first time, facing such a disadvantage in the standings, he really has no confidence in defeating a team with "Xavi"
