This year Wolfsburg has just been acquired by the Volkswagen Group. The Volkswagen Group is so wealthy that it not only wants to build a new stadium for the team, but also separates the football team from other organizations of the club and establishes a company to operate it independently.
.However, this will inevitably have a negative impact on the team's performance. Although the handover between the old and new management is relatively smooth, turmoil is inevitable.
It was under such circumstances that Wolfsburg won the dark horse of the Southern Regional League that unexpectedly eliminated Hannover 96 in the previous round: Tübingen Youth!
One-third of this year's Bundesliga schedule has passed, and Wolfsburg is ranked 12th. Although it is a little far away from the relegation zone, it is not safe. If it was acquired and relegated that year, the Volkswagen Group would be a joke, so even if
The management, which has not yet been completely straightened out, has also issued instructions to work hard to avoid relegation. Therefore, in the second round of the German Cup, Wolfsburg only played with a semi-main lineup to fully prepare for the weekend league.
So when the Tübingen youth got the home team's roster before taking the field, Kimbos Xu smiled and said to the players: "Today is a good opportunity for us to win. Our opponents did not pay enough attention to us. We must strive to win."
The game ends at halftime. As long as we can show strong attack power and a winning attitude, our opponents will not get too entangled with us. On the contrary, if our performance is mediocre, our opponents may try hard to win the game."
The team members nodded one after another. The Tubingen youth must strive for victory with all their strength. When encountering a hesitant opponent, it is best to simply kill its hope and let it give up the game and focus on the league.
As soon as the first half started, the players showed a strong desire to attack according to Xu Genbao's arrangement, frequently launching sharp offensives in the frontcourt. Wolfsburg's backcourt was amidst the exclamations of more than 4,000 home fans.
There are constant dangers.
However, after all, it is a Bundesliga team, a team that stands at the top level of football competition. Even with a semi-main lineup, rich experience and strong personal skills can only maintain the danger in a dangerous situation without scoring. Wang
Ai's two consecutive direct passes that could have produced a major threat were destroyed.
However, Wolfsburg's offensive was also resolved one by one by Tübingen's young and experienced backcourt.
In the first twenty minutes, the two sides fought to a score of 0:0.
This is the first Bundesliga team that Tübingen Youth has ever encountered, and it is also an opponent of the highest level. Even if this opponent is a little absent-minded, the sharp offensive of Tübingen Youth was frustrated just by relying on a strict lineup and game experience.
Xu Genbao stood on the sidelines and told Wang Ai: "Be precise, be precise!"
Wang Ai was stunned for a moment, then nodded: It really should be more precise!
Tübingen youth have been in low-level leagues for a long time. Although the confrontations are fierce, the overall tactical design is still relatively rough. The economic benefits of the amateur league are too small, and in most cases they are part-time players. The outcome of the game and personal finances
Income has little to do with it, and you cannot rely on playing football to change your personal life. This is very different from that of a professional team. In the high-intensity confrontation of a professional team, it is not only physical confrontation, but also more important tactical confrontation, technical and tactical confrontation.
Confrontation. In this kind of confrontation, any Bundesliga team will involuntarily improve the accuracy of the game and the accuracy of tactics. Under the temper of high-level competitions, from the individual to the overall level,
Staying at a high level is far beyond what amateur league teams can match.
Due to the super personal ability of Tübingen's main young players, they can be said to be good at playing in low-level leagues. Over time, the tacit understanding in tactical cooperation and sharpness are only relative. Although they are all passed by one kick, the passing
The speed of Wang Ai is relatively slow, and the receiving team members are also relatively relaxed. In most games, the players are not very mentally engaged. This is not because of lack of professionalism. Even Wang Ai cannot lift his spirits when he encounters a weak opponent.
Come.
"Per, Mesut!" Wang Ai called their names and nodded seriously.
The two of them might not know what Wang Ai meant right away, but they understood Wang Ai's solemn expression, so the two future German internationals began to devote all their attention to the game.
In the 27th minute of the first half, Mertesacker passed the ball directly to Wang Ai in the corner of the penalty area. Wang Ai returned the pass. Ozil turned and ran behind the Wolfsburg defender who was defending behind him, and immediately received the ball from Özil.
Zier's return pass, by this time Wang Ai was already at the edge of the goal area and close to the baseline. A defender stepped forward to intercept, and another defender bumped into Wang Ai behind him.
The staggering Wang Ai maintained his balance forcefully, and suddenly poked with his toes. The football passed between the feet of the oncoming defender. Wang Ai turned slightly sideways and ran past the turned defender. Goalkeeper Stephen did not expect that Wang Ai did not score the ball.
It was a pass, and now the two were almost face to face.
Stephen quickly lay on his side and rushed towards the football on Wang Ai's left side with both hands. Wang Ai's left foot shook sideways. The football avoided Stephen's hands and flew sideways to the right. Wang Ai raised his right foot and used
The arch of his foot hit the football in mid-air, and he completed the incredible shooting action like lightning. At the same time, the football also fell into the net behind Stephen.
At this time, Stephen's body hit Wang Ai's left leg, and Wolfsburg defender Stefan Lorenz's body hit Wang Ai's back. Losing balance, Wang Ai used his body to
With the inertia of the forward rush, he stepped over Stephen with his right foot and stepped into the goal line. When Stefan Lorenz grabbed the net with both hands, he pulled off the goal post and fell into the goal.
Bai Guanghai and Allison ran over and pulled Wang Ai up. Wang Ai smiled and shook his head to express that he was not injured. Because neither the opponent's goalkeeper nor the defender intended to hurt anyone. The simplest thing is that if the goalkeeper Stephen wants to hurt someone, he will hit him.
When he has his left leg, he can secretly push it with both hands. Of course, if he wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble, Wang Ai may not be able to control his right foot and step on him...
This goal was unexpected. From the time Wang Ai received Mertesacker's pass to the time he scored, the total time was less than five seconds, almost in the blink of an eye. With Ozil's return pass, Wang Ai passed by.
He beat a defender, passed the goalkeeper and scored. Even Wolfsburg's frontcourt players thought it was an own goal.
This is an aerial version of croquettes, quite beautiful! So even though it was Wolfsburg’s home court, I still remembered the sparse applause.
Xu Genbao was very satisfied. Wang Ai didn't understand what he was doing, so he specifically said the word "accurate" in Chinese. Unexpectedly, this child had such a sharp mind and understood his intention almost immediately. The young man from Tubingen did not use any other words.
Instead of using tactics to break the deadlock, they adopted an acceleration method. The coordination was still the same, and the style of play was still the same, but the speed was accelerated in every aspect, not only the passing speed, but also Wang Ai's passing and shooting.
speed.
This is the attitude and level you should have when facing a professional team. This is also one of the purposes of hosting the German Cup, and of course it is also the main intention of attacking on two fronts in the development path designed by Xu for the youth of Tübingen.
