Chapter 109 A strong enemy from the European League is coming
On April 4, 2015, the 27th round of the Bundesliga kicked off.
The first six games of this round of the league start at the same time, including a strong dialogue between Dortmund and Bayern.
But because of a breaking news a few days ago, many people in this round of the league have not paid attention to the dialogue between the two clubs.
Instead, it is placed on Dortmund head coach Jurgen Klopp.
On April 1, the media suddenly claimed that Klopp had reached an agreement with Dortmund's senior management and would leave Dortmund, where he had coached for seven seasons, after the end of this Bundesliga season and find another way out.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of all media and fans.
At first everyone thought it was an April Fool's joke played by Klopp and the fans.
However, after he cleverly avoided this question during the interview, the authenticity of the news began to arouse people's imagination.
After the winter break, Dortmund's overall condition began to improve. At present, their ranking has steadily risen and it is no longer likely to be relegated.
Unexpectedly, there was another problem with the team's meritorious coach.
This season for Dortmund fans has been a season of endless problems and suffering.
Wolfsburg's opponent in this round of the league is Stuttgart, which is ranked last and has a high probability of being relegated to the Bundesliga 2 this season.
In the battle between the top and the bottom, both the fans and the media are unanimously negative about Stuttgart, without exception.
But once the game started, Stuttgart's comeback gave everyone a big surprise.
In the 3rd minute of the game, Stuttgart sent a side kick from the right side of the penalty area.
The ball was thrown hard into the right sideline of Wolfsburg's penalty area.
Stuttgart forward Jinchek, a high center forward, stood on the edge of the penalty area as a strong fulcrum.
He jumped up under the three-man double team and stopped the ball in front of him with his chest, allowing right winger Hanik who ran past him to take the ball directly into the penalty area.
Hanek took the ball across the edge of the penalty area and suddenly made a cross pass, allowing Stuttgart's left back Hlosek to follow up from the top of the arc and get a one-on-one ball directly in front of Benaglio.
Benaglio reacted very quickly. He directly stepped forward and compressed the angle of Hlosek's shot.
In the end, he successfully blocked the ball from the bottom line of the penalty area.
In the next ten minutes or so, Stuttgart's offense was quite good and even threatened Wolfsburg's goal continuously.
In the 12th minute of the game, Stuttgart suddenly stole the ball on the left side of the center circle.
Then he quickly hit the left wing of Wolfsburg's penalty area through continuous one-twos.
Stuttgart left winger Kostic made a pass to the back post.
In front of the back post, because Nardo went up to mark Kostic, Chu Zheng came to the front post to defend.
Rodriguez was at the back post, and he got stuck in front of Haneke.
Then he didn't notice Hanik suddenly retreating behind him when Kostic passed the ball.
As a result, the ball flew across the next second, allowing Hanek to take off without interference and head the ball in from the upper right corner of the goal.
This goal from Stuttgart caused the Wolfsburg fans to howl.
Some fans even began to boo Rodriguez for his defensive leakage, completely forgetting the way they praised Rodriguez when he made assists in the past.
Chu Zheng was also very dissatisfied with the conceded goal, but there was nothing he could do about it. Rodriguez was strong in attack and defense in defense, and his strength was offense.
Football defense is actually just stacking blocks, and the emphasis is on the whole.
Every player is a building block. Once one of the building blocks goes wrong, the entire defense will collapse.
But soon Wolfsburg used its strong strength to tell everyone that this is the Volkswagen Arena and a wolf's den.
Stuttgart's goal was like a fuse, directly detonating all the players on the Wolfsburg field, and the wolves began to attack fiercely.
In the 15th minute of the game, De Bruyne took a corner kick from the left.
Chu Zheng soared into the air and grabbed the first spot, but because there was no shooting angle, Chu Zheng sailed the ball to the back post.
Chu Zheng passed the ball very exquisitely, but Gustavo, who successfully shot the ball from behind, had diarrhea and pushed the ball directly out of the baseline.
Three minutes later, Caligiuri burst outside the Stuttgart penalty area. Stuttgart right back Klein tripped Caligiuri.
Rodriguez made a meritorious deed and took the penalty kick, rewriting the score to 1-1 and completing redemption.
After that, Wolfsburg beat Stuttgart for a long time and could not get past halftime.
De Bruyne, Vierinha and others took turns delivering artillery shells, but Dost and others took turns playing happy football.
The second goal didn't come until the second half.
It was Rodriguez again. He took a precise free kick from 40 meters away from the right wing and accurately found Chu Zheng in the crowd.
Chu Zheng successfully took off under the markings of Stuttgart's two central defenders Niedermeier and Baumgartel, and directly swung his head and hammered the ball into the goal.
In the 88th minute of the second half, the third goal came, and it was still related to Chu Zheng.
Stuttgart took a corner kick, causing chaos in the middle of Wolfsburg's penalty area. Chu Zheng took the opportunity to volley and make a clearance.
His kick went directly to the top left rib of Stuttgart's penalty area.
After the ball landed, De Bruyne, Maxim and Romeu started fighting for the ball.
In the end, De Bruyne, who judged the placement and route more accurately, kicked the ball to the top of the key area. Schürrle, who came on as a substitute in the second half, sent a long shot with a tricky angle to make the score 3-3.
1.
After this game, on the evening of April 7th, Wolfsburg continued to face their German Cup quarter-final opponent Freiburg at the Volkswagen Arena.
In this game, Dieter Heijing made a large-scale rotation, racing against time to give the players time to rest.
Including De Bruyne and Chu Zheng, Dieter Heijing once again used defensive counterattack tactics.
In addition, many main players were not on the court, so the game scene was a bit ugly.
Although Wolfsburg's defense was very good, their offense was poor, giving Freiburg the upper hand.
The game was deadlocked until the 60th minute of the second half, before Dieter Heijing replaced Chu Zheng, De Bruyne and Dost at once.
In the 85th minute of the game, De Bruyne hit a direct free kick from the left side of the Freiburg arc, helping Wolfsburg beat Freiburg 1-0 and advance to the 2014-15 German Cup semi-finals.
The double-match week is over, and the next game is the Europa League quarter-finals a week later, coming from the Serie A powerhouse Napoli.
Due to easily defeating Inter Milan, the Wolfsburg players are very optimistic about the upcoming Napoli game.
But Dieter Heijing doesn’t think so.
It's very simple. Naples has already hit the bottom and started to rebound. It is in a period of rapid rise, and the team has also completed its transformation.
And Inter Milan is still struggling in the quagmire at the bottom of the valley.
So these two Serie A teams cannot be compared at all.
Dieter Heijing would not do the stupid thing of using the experience of beating Inter Milan to deal with Naples.
But Wolfsburg and Dieter Heijing both lack experience in European competitions and have never played against Serie A teams.
So Dieter Heijing is very worried, but he can't throw cold water on the players' optimistic attitude.
So the only thing he can do is to analyze Naples in detail and comprehensively, preferably to find the fatal weakness in Naples' tactical system.
