Chapter 31 Fighting Naples Again
The game entered the final moment. Wolfsburg strangled in the midfield, while strengthening their own defensive capabilities, they tried their best to destroy Schalke's chance of counterattack.

Under the running of Wolfsburg players without hesitation, Schalke Zero Four's midfield organization was completely disrupted.

The Schalke [-] players, who could not create a threat at all, could only watch the game end.

After Wolfsburg won this victory, there are only 5 rounds left in the league!
De Bruyne, who dedicated the quasi-lore, became the best player of the game.

Wolfsburg achieved 17 consecutive victories in the Bundesliga!

It is second only to Bayern Munich's longest winning streak of 19 consecutive victories in the [-]-[-] season.

This is definitely one of the highlight moments in Wolfsburg's history.

Although Bayern Munich defeated Hoffenheim [-]-[-] in this round, Wolfsburg continued to lead the standings by one point.

The Bundesliga championship situation has entered a fierce stage.

The league war has just ended, but the second round of the Europa League is about to start.

After three days of rest, Wolfsburg, whose state has not fully adjusted, went to Naples, Italy for the final round of the knockout round.

Although the team doctor had already issued a warning during the physical examination, some of the main players in the team were not in good physical condition.

For players like De Bruyne, the doctor suggested that Dieter Heiking let him rest for one or two games.

But at this critical moment, Dieter Heijin had no choice but to send his core players on the field.

He knows that many people in the team are eager for this Europa League title.

Although it is not the Champions League, how many players from the five major leagues can win the European Championship?
If the score was one to four in the last round, that's fine.

But in the case of a tie, even if Dieter Heijin is willing to give up, the players will not agree!

With all the main players, Wolfsburg came to the San Paolo Stadium, the home stadium of Naples.

Looking at the stadium in front of him, the reborn Zhao Jinge was deeply moved.

A few years later, when the Argentine football king Maradona passed away, it will be renamed the Maradona Stadium.

It is also something that every player yearns for to play a wonderful game in the place where the world champion once fought.

After entering the stadium, Zhao Jinge found that the attendance rate of this stadium is not high, and it will be half full.

Last time I was a guest at the Meazza Stadium, the attendance rate there was not high.

The attendance rate of European games is not high.It can be seen that the entire Serie A ball market has fallen into a downturn.

Dieter Heijin dispatched all the main lineup, gave up the regular 4231, and changed to a more powerful 433 formation:

Goalkeeper: Benaglio.

Defenders: Vierinha, Naldo, Tim Klose, Ricardo Rodriguez.

Midfield: Alexander-Arnold, De Bruyne, Schurrle.

Forwards: Zhao Jinge, Dost, Perisic.

Naples' lineup remains unchanged from the previous match.

But Benitez encountered difficulties in tactical design.

How to limit the performance of Zhao Jinge and De Bruyne has become his biggest headache.

As a master tactician, Benitez hates the superstar moment of the opponent's superstar the most.

Just like Zhao Jinge in the previous game, with the cooperation of De Bruyne, he destroyed Naples' defense line only by his personal ability.

This unexpected and unpredictable thing put a lot of pressure on Benitez.

When the game was about to start, Dieter Heijin's unexpected formation caught Benitez by surprise.

In Benitez's impression, Dieter Heiking is definitely not someone who would choose a strong attack in a life-and-death battle.

But this is not in line with the choice of Dieter Heijin's coaching philosophy, and it completely defeats Benitez's pre-match tactical arrangement.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Wolfsburg's away game, due to physical conditions, obviously does not have an advantage in physical fitness.

Therefore, before the game, the whole team reached a consensus that Wolfsburg must make a quick decision.

In this game, they did everything possible to complete the overtake of the total score before 65 minutes, and then tried their best to defend.

The longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for Wolfsburg. They must lead as soon as possible.

Otherwise, Naples' away goal advantage will slowly hang them like a gradually tightening rope.

Wolfsburg won the kick-off and raised their own rhythm from the first minute of the game.

Under De Bruyne's organization, the entire midfield of Wolfsburg overwhelmed the center line and attacked Naples.

Seeing this situation, Naples was naturally cautious.

Mertens, Hamsik, and Callejon all returned to their own half to fight with the Wolfsburg players on top.

From the very beginning, the game was full of gunpowder.

De Bruyne, who dominated the offense, showed his demeanor as a midfielder at this time.

In the face of Naples' pressing, he led Wolfsburg's frontcourt players to continue to play wonderful small-scale cooperation.

Hold the ball firmly at your own feet.

And Zhao Jinge, who showed great power in the last game, put a lot of psychological pressure on the Naples defensive players.

As long as he breaks through with the ball, two Naples defensive players will inevitably pinch him.

If there are no teammates around to assist, then take the initiative to use foul tactics to interrupt Zhao Jinge's breakthrough.

In the 7th minute of the game, when Zhao Jinge once again controlled the ball in the frontcourt and dribbled in front of Inle.

Before Zhao Jinge made a fake move to make a breakthrough.Yinle followed Zhao Jinge's forward steps and slowly backed away.

While backing him, he shouted for Mertens and full-back Gulam to come to assist.

Seeing the other party being so cautious, Zhao Jinge couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

It turned out that he had also grown to the point where his opponent valued him so much.

Zhao Jinge and De Bruyne completed the cooperation and continued to move forward before the opponent's players came to assist in the defense.

After several offensive attempts, relying on Zhao Jinge's huge deterrent power.

Wolfsburg directly suppressed the Naples formation within the 30-meter zone.

There is no way, wanting to stop Zhao Jinge's breakthrough, De Bruyne's threatening pass from God's perspective.

Shrinking space and dense defense are the best options for Naples.

See also the dense defense. In the past few months, Wolfsburg has almost become an expert in breaking dense defense.

But unlike those teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga, Naples' defense is obviously more rigorous.

Serie A's world-famous chain defense, coupled with Benitez's strict zone pressing defense.

As a result, Wolfsburg can only continue to make long-range attempts at about 30 meters in front of the goal.

With defensive players constantly blocking the holes and Naples goalkeeper Andujar playing well, these long-range shots did not form any chances.

Can't play the super world wave, and the long-range shot alone can't threaten Naples' goal at all.

After another shot bounced back into midfield off the outstretched leg of Napoli centre-back Albiol.

De Bruyne frowned, suspended the ineffective long-range attack, passed the ball to Arnold who was lagging behind, and called his teammates to retreat a certain distance first, and look for opportunities to attack again.

There are many opponents in the middle, so try from the side.

Soon Wolfsburg made a fuss on the wing.

After Zhao Jinge held the ball from the midfield side, he pushed forward and made a wall-hit cooperation with Vierinia, who was pressing up behind him, and easily passed Mertens.

In the position close to the restricted area, it is facing Gulam head-on.

Faced with Zhao Jinge's oppression, Gulam quickly recovered and defended the upper right corner of the penalty area with Inle, who was back on defense.

Before the game, Benitez asked him to give up the outside line appropriately, but he must keep the inside line and not allow people to break into the penalty area!
Zhao Jinge handed the ball to Vierinia, who quickly rushed to the baseline.

Zhao Jinge himself bypassed the defense and entered the penalty area together with Dost and Perisic, who had been hovering on the penalty area line for a long time.

The unmarked Vierrinia smoothly came to his most comfortable starting position, and of course sent a high-quality cross.

At this time, Zhao Jinge had already entered the penalty area. He ran to the point in front of the goal, and Bristol, who was close to him, immediately defended him closely.

Dorst moved towards the middle of the goal, and Albiol marked Dorst closely, not daring to let him go.

The two directly led away Naples' double central defenders, and Perisic also blocked the full-back Macho on the other side.

When three pairs of players stick together try to see where the football lands.

Vierinha's cross floated to the back of the center in front of the goal.

Schurrle, who went in behind there, used a high-speed rush to the top without anyone following him, and pushed the ball into the upper right corner of Naples' goal.

After seeing the goal, Schurrle immediately rushed to the stands where the fans of the visiting team were with a smile on his face.

He opened his hands to all the Wolfsburg fans who came from afar, and made a celebratory gesture of hugging.

No one thought that the completely contracted Naples defense would lose Schurle, who was plugging in from the back, in the defense of the pass!
It can only be said that they were completely attracted to the defensive attention by the risk of Wolfsburg.

In particular, Zhao Jinge alone has caught the attention of the opponent's two defenders, Gulam and Britos.

"GOAL!!!! Wolfsburg, who had a full offensive rhythm at the beginning, finally got the result they wanted!"

"The total score is five to four, and Wolfsburg has taken the lead! Now they are the side that is more likely to advance!"

Without Dieter Heiking giving instructions from the sidelines, Wolfsburg, who was pressing forward in the formation, immediately retreated to the center line.

The three forwards left Dost with the strongest standing ability, and the other two returned to the center line to participate in the defense.

After taking the lead, Wolfsburg immediately adjusted to a defensive counterattack formation.

Arnold and Schurrle retreated directly to the midfielder.

This series of extremely smooth formation transformations made the Naples players on the opposite side dumbfounded.

I thought that following Benitez, our Naples defensive counterattack was conservative enough.

Now it seems that you Wolfsburg is better.

With more than ten minutes left in the first half, Wolfsburg did not shrink as completely as Naples did just now.

With the two forwards retreating, they competed for the ball with Naples' midfielders in the space between the center circle and the 30-meter area.

Dieter Heijin explained to the players before the game, the leading tactical play.

You can retrace, but not too deep.Naples' midfield and wide players are above the standard.

Leaving the sides and midfield empty puts too much pressure on Wolfsburg's defense.

Therefore, a high-intensity midfield competition after a proper retracement must not allow Naples to easily send the ball to its own 30-meter area.

This tactic was resolutely implemented by Wolfsburg defensive players.

Dieter Heijin also waited for the intermission to replace the players in the midfielder position and replaced them with Gustav and Jilavoji, who are more defensive.

Soon the time for the halftime break came, and after a short break, Wolfsburg completed the substitution.

The game restarted in the second half. After strengthening the defense, Wolfsburg did not leave Naples with a good chance to attack.

In the 60th minute of the game, under the huge offensive pressure, Naples also made substitutions.

Insigne came on to replace Inle, and he came to the position behind Higuain as a shadow striker.

When the situation cannot be opened in the middle.

After Naples began to break through from the wing, they made a cross and used Higuain and Insigne to grab points in the penalty area.

The long-range shot after crossing the side and the center has also become an offensive method that Naples has tried many times.

Napoli began to pick up speed, and Wolfsburg's strangulation in the midfield became more and more intense.

The game finally entered a wonderful situation where you come and go.

In the 608th minute, Mertens cut in after receiving Hamsik's pass from the left side of the front court.

Quickly passed the ball to the foot of Higuain, who was running in the middle of the penalty area.

After the smoker stopped the ball, he faked a change of direction and broke through Naldo, then took a shot from the edge of the penalty area. Benalio attacked in time and blocked the opponent's shooting angle with his body!
The extremely critical interception blocked this dangerous shot!

Not long after, Vierinha, with the help of Zhao Jinge, stole the ball from Hamsik, and Wolfsburg quickly launched a counterattack.

Arnold's backcourt support and Zhao Jinge formed a collision with the wall, directly breaking through Naples' central blockade.

And when Naples encountered David Lopez's single interception in the Naples half, he decisively passed the ball long to the left.

Perisic stopped the ball in the running position, then dropped his shoulders and changed direction to break through the blockade of Naples full-back Macho.

When Zhao Jinge moved forward to the line of the penalty area, Perisic immediately passed the ball.

Zhao Jinge dribbled the ball forward. After adapting to the defensive player, he deftly picked the ball into the penalty area.

Dost successfully turned offside and volleyed against the falling football!
But the football hit the post and bounced off the baseline, and Napoli escaped unharmed.

After eight and 10 minutes of the game, Wolfsburg's physical fitness has fallen to the bottom.

All Wolfsburg defenders were panting and running.

Zhao Jinge, who has always had excellent physical fitness, also gradually felt the lack of physical strength in the continuous high-intensity competitions.

Either withstand Naples' stormy attack at the last moment of the game, or score a winning goal while still having a little energy.

Waiting has never been Zhao Jinge's style. Taking a deep breath, Zhao Jinge observed the running positions of both sides, waiting for the chance to give Naples a fatal blow.
