After the game, the entire Wolfsburg team took a charter flight back to Germany that night.
In the dimly lit airplane cabin, everyone, apart from having a little fun when they first boarded the plane, is now wilted collectively, like eggplants beaten by frost.
Especially the 11 people starting today, including Chu Zheng, have all entered a deep sleep at this time.
The season has reached the end, and the players' physical fitness has long been drained by high-intensity games.
This fatigue not only comes from the physical body, but also from the mental level. It is a double fatigue buff.
In addition, there is the special nature of this game.
Wolfsburg's starting players did have a good time today, but it was a bit too good. Chu Zheng was too cruel and gave them the ball like crazy.
The Wolfsburg frontcourt players felt as if they were machines. Sometimes just when they wanted to take a breath, Chu Zheng's attack came again, forcing them to quickly catch up.
Even De Bruyne, a physical monster who started every game, shouted that he couldn't bear it after the game and complained to everyone that Chu Zheng's playing style of playing as a defensive midfielder was too brutal.
Chu Zheng not only surprised the media and fans today, but even De Bruyne, Gustavo and others were extremely shocked.
Because Chu Zheng, who plays as a defensive midfielder in the team's training matches, doesn't have this crazy energy at all.
"How's it going?" In the last row of the cabin, team doctor Günther just returned to his seat when Dieter Heijing next to him asked.
Gentle sat down and fastened the seat belt around his waist, shook his head and said: "Both Chu and Kevin's injuries are not serious, they are just bruises, no bones or muscles were injured."
The first half of today's game was fine, but in the second half, after Naples began to pay attention to Chu Zheng, Chu Zheng was closely monitored. Not only did he have to engage in high-intensity physical confrontation with the opponent, but he was sometimes subject to tactical fouls and malicious violations by Naples players.
.
And De Bruyne, the core of the frontcourt, was not much better, and he had a lot of hand-to-hand fights with Naples players.
"The muscle fatigue values of Chu and Kevin have exceeded the critical value. They may be injured at any time. I suggest you rotate them, especially Kevin. His fatigue value is much higher than that of Chu. He needs to rest!"
"I know!" Dieter Heijin nodded, then said nothing and closed his eyes.
Dieter Heijing was also troubled, but three days later their opponent in the 30th round of the Bundesliga was Monchengladbach.
Borussia is currently ranked third in the Bundesliga. They were eliminated by Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-finals. They have been in very good form recently.
After defeating Bayern 2-0, they won Hoffenheim and Dortmund with scores of 4-1 and 3-1 respectively.
Bayer Leverkusen, currently fourth in the Bundesliga standings, has the same points as them and is chasing them very closely.
Therefore, in order to keep their place in the Champions League, Borussia Mönchengladbach, who plays at home, will definitely fight against them.
Two days later, on the evening of April 25, the results of the Europa League semi-final draw were announced.
Sevilla vs Fiorentina
Wolfsburg vs Dnipro
The Wolfsburg fans were immediately overjoyed. They thought that Wolfsburg had drawn a top team, not only avoiding Sevilla, the king of the Europa League, but also avoiding the former Serie A.
Rich Florence.
Dnipro, what the hell is this!
Never heard of it!
A weakling!
With the strength of Wolfsburg, it would probably be crushed to death in a few or two strokes!
However, Dieter Heijing and many fans who paid attention to this team could not laugh.
Dnipro, the Ukrainian Super League club, is also the most vicious and lucky dark pony team in the Europa League this season!
From the beginning of the play-offs, this team has made surprises time and time again, breaking the fans' perception of them.
In the quarter-finals, Dnipro defeated Greek giants Olympikos 4-2.
In the quarter-finals, Dnipro eliminated the Dutch giants Ajax in overtime.
In the quarter-finals, Dnipro defeated Belgian powerhouse Club Brugge in two rounds.
Look at people's luck in drawing lots. I haven't encountered anyone who is in good condition, has a good reputation, or has strong strength.
However, in football matches, luck itself is part of the strength.
But soon, many Wolfsburg fans stopped laughing.
On April 26, at 4:30 pm Berlin time, in the 30th round of the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg challenged Monchengladbach at the Prussiapark.
In this game, Dieter Heijing continues to be a betting dog.
Chu Zheng and De Bruyne continue to start, and he is betting that they will continue to be favored by the goddess of luck.
Before this game, the media and fans believed that Wolfsburg would easily defeat Borussia with the momentum of advancing to the Europa League semi-finals.
As a result, after the game started, Wolfsburg, who was playing away from home, was in no shape.
Even Chu Zheng, who is usually very steady in the eyes of fans, made rare mistakes in this game.
This shows how much impact the double games a week at the end of the season have on the players' competitive state and physical fitness.
In the frontcourt, De Bruyne is also a little quieter than before.
But he still created several good opportunities.
Not long after the first half started, he sent a wonderful cross from the top right rib with the outside instep of his right foot.
The landing point is outside the upper right corner of the small penalty area.
But unfortunately, Bendtner, who was unmarked, couldn't reach the ball after taking off.
Afterwards, Borussia discovered that Wolfsburg's players were in extremely poor condition and took advantage of their home court to launch a fierce attack.
In the 11th minute of the game, Monchengladbach midfielder Xhaka sent a precise through ball in the middle of the offensive third.
Monchengladbach's right midfielder Hermann received the ball on the right and quickly crossed the ball.
From the back point, on the left side of the penalty area, Wolfsburg missed the mark, and Borussia Monchengladbach's left midfielder Johnson volleyed sideways and hit the goal.
As a result, this guy missed a kick and the ball bounced on the ground and flew over the goal crossbar.
In less than ten minutes, Borussia Monchengladbach once again played a high-quality offense.
It was Xhaka, the talented Swiss midfielder, who directly penetrated Wolfsburg's defense with a precise long pass.
Naldo took advantage of the time when Borussia striker Kruse stopped the ball and quickly chased back.
But Kruse was even more decisive, directly crossing the right side of the small penalty area from the upper left corner of the penalty area.
Chu Zheng, who was not in good physical condition, was a step too late and failed to intercept near the penalty spot.
Benaglio was even more outrageous. He slipped and fell while moving towards the left goal post.
Then he rolled and crawled to the left.
However, Wolfsburg was once again blessed by the goddess of luck.
Kruse's ball was so powerful that Borussia's right forward Rafael, who was outflanking the right side of the penalty area, failed to catch up and could only watch the ball roll out of the baseline.
Although Wolfsburg is in a sluggish state, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and they also got several good opportunities.
For example, in the 18th minute of the game, after Naldo made a clearance in the penalty area, Chu Zheng rushed out of the penalty area to receive the ball and quickly tipped the ball toward the center circle.
De Bruyne avoided the sliding tackle of Monchengladbach center back Domingos and quickly rushed up with the ball, forming a two-on-two situation with Bendtner.
After entering the offensive third, De Bruyne fired the ball to the right rib.
As a result, Bendtner made another mistake!
This guy had a chance to shoot as soon as he got the ball, but he hesitated for some unknown reason.
In the end, when he passed De Bruyne across the ball, the ball was blocked by Borussia center back Bruwer.
In the following game time, Wolfsburg's state recovered somewhat.
Until the 88th minute of the second half, Borussia Monchengladbach and Wolfsburg went back and forth to attack and both made several good offensive moves.
But there was no goal.
De Bruyne and Chu Zheng each had an excellent chance to score.
But one of them used their feet and the other used their head, but both of them got the ball into the stands, which was quite helpless.
Until the 90th minute of the game, Xhaka fired a ground-breaking volley from the top of the arc, directly opening the door of Wolfsburg.
His kick not only helped Borussia win the game, but also knocked Wolfsburg off the top spot in the Bundesliga.
Bayern, which narrowly defeated Hertha Berlin 1-0 last night, once again rushed back to the top of the Bundesliga with a goal difference advantage.
After the game, Wolfsburg fans were in mourning.
The joy of advancing to the Europa League semi-finals a few days ago and breaking through the club's history was gone in an instant!
Compared with the Europa League, whose value has dropped sharply in recent years, Wolfsburg fans still hope that the team will win the Bundesliga championship.
Thanks to the book friend with the last number 2284 for the reward!!!!!!
