After the match against Werder Bremen, most of Wolfsburg’s main players are preparing for the Bundesliga round of 24 against Augsburg.

Compared to a Bundesliga team such as RB Leipzig, the next league rival Augsburg is at the top of the Bundesliga table.

According to expert estimates, this year’s Augsburg should be able to secure a ticket to next season’s Europa League.

Facing two opponents with such a large gap in strength, Dieter Heikin naturally used a group of pure substitutes to play Leipzig.

Leave the main players at home and deal with the next tough battle at Augsburg.

Facing Wolfsburg, who even had the strength of the lower Bundesliga teams even as substitutes, Leipzig, who were defeated by Leipzig, were not surprisingly defeated 2-0 at home.

Wolfsburg also qualified for the quarter-finals of this season’s DFB-Pokal.

But then face Augsburg, who is struggling to qualify for the European war zone.

The people of Wolfsburg experienced an unexpectedly bitter battle.

March 7, 2015 at the home of Augsburg W W K Arena.

In the end, it was Zhao Jinge who made a point, De Bruyne took the penalty successfully, and it was a difficult victory over Augsburg away from home.

Wolfsburg had the advantage away from home, but an embarrassing situation occurred. In the past, when they had the advantage on the field.

Wolfsburg must have been on the whole line and bombarded the other side’s half.

But this time it was under the stubborn defense of the Augsburg people, and although the scene was very advantageous, it could not translate such a high possession into shots and goals.

If the whole game had not relied on Zhao Jinge’s flashing breakthrough, the biggest possibility would have been a 0-0 handshake between the two sides.

After a few big wins in a row, Wolfsburg’s offensive firepower seems to have a little more of a problem.

De Bruyne’s recent task has been a bit heavy, and his recent form in the game has begun to decline irrepressibly.

Even if it is constantly rotated, the overly intensive game has affected the core players of the team.

Fortunately, after the game against Augsburg, Wolfsburg was given another seven days or so to rest.

The next thing they need to face is the strongest opponent in this Devil’s schedule, Inter Milan from Serie A.

With the arrival of Inter Milan, before the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals had even begun, the fans of Wolfsburg began to get excited.

This is the first time in the team’s history that they have played Inter Milan, and it is a meeting record that can be written in the history of the team. Wolfsburg fans also want to see what is different about the Serie A giants!

Although it is already known that Inter Milan is going downhill, it is seen that such a mediocre Inter Milan without any superstars and legends.

The long-awaited Wolfsburg fans, even the rival Wolfsburg players, still felt a little disappointed. The

most famous member of the Inter Milan squad who followed Roberto Mancini to Wolfsburg was Shaqiri, who had just moved from Bayern.

Their veteran goalkeeper Handanovic and new midfielder Mateo Kovacic are on the bench. It

can also be seen from here that Mancini does not attach much importance to the Europa League. Inter Milan’s focus is still on Serie A. After all, it has

been several years since they finished in the top four of the league, and under the suppression of Juventus, it is almost impossible to win the title, but the Champions League qualification still has to fight. Compared to the Champions League qualification, the Europa

League is not so important, after all, with the current Inter Milan squad, it seems a bit out of reach to achieve good results in the Europa League.

On March 13, Volkswagen Stadium was surrounded by Wolfsburg fans.

The match was also broadcast live by ESPN in Germany.

The commentators are German football legends Mateus and Ballack.

“Michael, which side do you prefer in this game.” During the pre-match live broadcast, Mateus began asking Ballack what he thought of the game.

“Wolfsburg? They look a little stronger, but they don’t have many advantages.

“What do you think they are better than Inter?” Mateus continued to ask.

“A top midfielder De Bruyne! His performance determines the ceiling of this Wolfsburg team! “Inter Milan came off the

bench after Mateo Kovacic came off the bench and the gap between the midfield and Wolfsburg is clearly a bit big.

“As a former good midfielder, I believe Wolfsburg should have an advantage in a stronger midfield. Lothar, I believe you and I should think the same way.

“Is that what it takes to be a fellow midfielder? But I’m still more supportive of Inter!

Ballack voiced his opinion, and Mateus also smiled and objected

. “Inter Milan has indeed declined too fast over the years, but as a former member of Inter, I believe that their rich European experience will bring them good luck!”

“Well, the game is about to start, let’s take a look at the line-up of the two sides:

Inter Milan sent a formation of 4312

Goalkeeper: Carriso.

Defenders: D’Ambrosio, Ra Nokia, Juan Jesús, Thornton.

Midfielders: Medel, Guarín, Hernanez, Shaqiri.

Among them, Shaqiri kicked in the front of the back, and the remaining three were lined up in front of the back line.

Forwards: Icardi, Palacio.

At home Wolfsburg is also the 4231 they are most familiar with,

goalkeeper: Benalio.

Defenders: Vielenia, Robin Knoch, Nardò, Ricardo Rodríguez.

Midfielders: Perisic, Gustav, Kevin De Bruyne, Giravogi, Zhao Jinge.

Forward: Dost.

Well, without further ado, let’s enjoy today’s wonderful game.

With the referee’s whistle, a strong dialogue between Wolfsburg and Inter begins.

At the beginning of the game, Zhao Jinge, who was holding the ball to break through, felt obvious resistance, and the No. 18 back Medel on the opposite side looked very difficult.

Although he is only more than 1.7 meters tall, his weight of more than 150 pounds makes him not look thin when defending against him, but full of aggression.

After being harassed again and only passing the ball back, Zhao Jinge looked at the small man on the opposite side, and he also had a headache, worthy of being called the guy called Chilean Gattuso.

There is really a bit of Gattuso feeling, there is really no wrong nickname on the football field. Players who can play famous are not so easy to deal with.

The opening 10 minutes have passed, as Zhao Jinge and Perisic’s attacks on the wing are limited by Inter’s back three, especially Medel.

The old tactics combined in Wolfsburg are completely ineffective.

In positional battles, although Inter Milan can no longer show the characteristics of Italian chain defense at the peak of the Serie A powerhouse.

However, the compression space and basic skills of joint defense in defensive positional warfare still made De Bruyne and Dost’s central attack also unimproving.

Of course, Inter’s own attack is all launched by Shaqiri alone, and naturally there is no threat, after all, you can’t let these three defensive midfielders organize the attack.

Because neither side could play any threatening offensives, the scene of the game was not so exciting, which also made the fans who came to the scene feel a little disappointed.

For the fans, of course, they would prefer to see a great match.

Seeing the situation on the pitch and knowing that the deadlock could not be broken by relying on the midfield alone, Dieter Heikin gave instructions off the field to press the full-back.

Wolfsburg concentrated six men between the penalty area from midfield to Inter Milan, and continued to break through on both sides and in the middle.

With such a numerical advantage, Inter Milan’s unbreakable three backs were finally punched out of the gap, but due to the back line to supplement the defense.

Although Wolfsburg has a certain advantage on the scene, it still cannot easily overcome Inter’s defense, but also be careful of Inter’s rapid counterattack.

In a breakthrough, Zhao Jinge lightly dialed the ball behind Medel, and then used his excellent explosive power to instantly throw off the reacting Medel.

Went straight to Inter Milan’s penalty area, thinking that this breakthrough was successful, but just entered the penalty area and received a grab from Inter Milan central defender Ranocchia.

Unobserving, Zhao lost possession and Ranomkia passed back to Inter Milan goalkeeper Carriso, who drove the ball to the half of Wolfsburg with a big foot.

Shaqiri started quickly after receiving the ball in the middle, faced Gustav’s defense in the middle of the ball, and with a light change of direction, he threw Gustav away.

Continue to carry the ball past Wolfsburg in the penalty area and give the ball to Icardi, who came out to receive it.

After blocking Naldo with his back, Icardi turned and passed the ball diagonally to Palacio in front of goal.

Palacio seized the golden opportunity to volley from a small angle and break the Wolfsburg goal.

“GOAL!!!! Palacio’s goal broke the deadlock on the pitch! Inter Milan played its own characteristics, rock-solid defense, fast counterattack!

“Michael, it seems that Inter Milan, which I am optimistic about, has gained the advantage! The boys in Wolfsburg were obviously too anxious and pressed too much!

Mateus smiled proudly at Barak.

Not to be outdone, Barak is not to be outdone. ‘

It’s clear from that time that Wolfsburg has taken the initiative on the pitch and the goal will come soon!’

The two commentators began to fight in the ring in the live broadcast room, which is also a means of attracting viewers to watch and attract more fans to pay attention to the match.

Although they scored a goal for placing too much emphasis on attack, the Wolfsburg players remained steadfast in following the manager’s instructions.

Didn’t give up the big attack because he conceded the goal.

When Gustav encountered a frontal interception near the centre circle, he passed the ball diagonally behind the opposing player.

De Bruyne rushed to the football landing point to pick up after escaping Medel’s entanglement.

Guarin immediately stepped forward to press and Kevin de Bruyne stumbled the ball short to the right. At this time, Zhao Jinge stepped forward to receive the ball and once again sent a short pass.

Gustav stepped forward and Wolfsburg played a continuous combination of short passes from the right side of the opponent’s penalty area.

The three people continued to cooperate and sent the ball into the Inter penalty area, and the opponent’s three defensive backs were also desperately trying to steal and defend.

Zhao Jinge stopped controlling the ball at the moment when Guarin returned to his front, changed direction, took two steps towards the middle of the penalty area, and distributed the ball to Dost, who asked for the ball with his back.

After Dost received the ball, he sent the ball forward and faced De Bruyne who inserted it forward, without mercy.

A powerful volley sent the ball into the top right corner of Inter Milan’s goal.

With this goal scored, the Volkswagen Stadium, which had just been a little silent, instantly turned into a sea of joy.

“GOAL!!!! GOAL!!!! GOAL!!!!”

Ballack in the studio also continued to cheer for the goal.

“I just said Wolfsburg would definitely score and De Bruyne played really well in this game!”

This time it was Barack’s turn to give Mateus a slightly meaningful smile.

The game went on, looking at Wolfsburg, who was still pressing on the whole line.

Mancini on the sidelines couldn’t help but report a foul mouth, is it really so indifferent to Inter Milan’s attack?

You and my two strikers in front are really a decoration!

However, most of the ball in the midfield is controlled by Wolfsburg players, and Shaqiri is alone, how can Wolfsburg, who has just suffered a loss, let him go.

As long as you pinch Inter’s most threatening Shaqiri, it is to choke Inter’s seven inches.

Even if his two strikers are a threat and there is no midfielder to deliver the ball from behind, he can only stare wide in the box.

Mancini also wants to do the same to restrict De Bruyne, but De Bruyne can constantly cooperate with Zhao Jinge and Perisic.

All three have good ball propulsion, plus Vierinha on the pressure and Rodriguez with excellent skills at his feet.

Wolfsburg’s midfield combined to play that is called a flow.

Even if Chile’s Gattuso Medel takes the other two backs together, it will still be difficult to grab the ball.

Even if it is snatched, it will not be able to send Shaqiri’s feet in the process of passing forward.

In this situation, Wolfsburg ball carriers are constantly looking for Inter Milan flaws in and out of the box.

However, this still solid Italian steel defense made Wolfsburg’s attack fail several times.

But the constant running of the ball and the increasing defensive pressure on the back line made Inter Milan’s players feel extremely tired.

In particular, the defensive three backs, at the end of the first half of the game, Chilean Gattuso Medel, who is known for his abundant physical fitness in Inter, was a little overwhelmed.

As the first half came to an end, watch the Inter Milan players panting back into the dressing room.

Dieter Heikin was ready to end the knockout round in the second half.
