The most low-key superstar

Chapter 349 Counterattacking Wolf Castle

Wolfsburg, which is playing in the Champions League for the first time in history, is currently ranked second in Group B with 7 points. CSKA Moscow has the same points with them, but they are ranked third due to their poor record against each other. They will play against Besiktas with 4 points. The Turkish Black Hawks with [-] points still have hopes of qualifying for the Europa League, so they will not relax.

Before the game, the German media was very optimistic about Wolfsburg's qualifying situation. First of all, Manchester United's 19-man roster has many faces that ordinary audiences are not very familiar with. Among them, there are as many as 13 midfielders, including Mag New faces like Knuth Eklum, Cameron Stewart, Matt James and Oliver Norwood.

As long as they can beat the broken and incomplete Manchester United at home, they can occupy a qualifying place, and may even be the first in the group.

Last week as a central defender to participate in the 4 to 0 away victory over West Ham, Carrick and another midfielder Fletcher made a temporary guest central defender combination.Junior Gibson as right back.It is worth mentioning that Manchester United has maintained an unbeaten run of 14 consecutive away games in the Champions League, of which they have won the last 4 games. In the past 10 games, they have conceded only two goals. This game is a very severe test for them.In the last round, they had just been broken by Besiktas for nearly 5 years without defeat at home.

Ferguson said before the game that he knew very little about Wolfsburg, "This is my first time here. Before they became the Bundesliga champions last season, I didn't know them at all. This is a typical small town doing big things. .”

"I'm not familiar with it, so let's get acquainted with it seriously." The top scorer Dzeko vowed to the reporter's camera.

Although Wolfsburg is a small town with a small population, the tactical quality of the team in the town is not bad. As soon as the whistle opened, Wolfsburg caught Manchester United's temporary central defender who was not familiar with, not used to handling crosses, and the sidelines. Road wingbacks Park Ji-sung and Nani are vulnerable to being hit behind, and they frequently infiltrate and pass the ball on both sides.

"Today, the Red Devils and Manchester United fielded an incomprehensible formation. The goalkeeper is Kuschiak, the defender is Evra, Carrick, Fletcher, and the midfielder is Park Ji-sung. Nani, Scholes, Gibson, Anderson, Welbeck, striker Nickel." Reporting Manchester United's roster, the commentator's tone was a little weird.

Barzagli and Misimovic wasted two excellent opportunities, and Dzeko used a goal post to give Manchester United a bad start. Less than a minute after the start of the game, Wolfsburg sent a blow to nearly 20 people present. Fans showed their determination.Manchester United's offensive line is mainly long shots from the midfield. Gibson, who has scored 6 goals in 2 previous appearances for Manchester United, took two long shots in the 4nd and [-]th minutes. Unfortunately, none of them hit the target. After the second shot flew, the TV The camera turned meaningfully to Sir Bobby Charlton in the stands wearing a mink hat, as if to mean: Gibson still needs to learn a little bit!

And Nicole, who is in front of him, has been in a state without the ball. However, Nicole is not in a hurry, nor does he retreat. He knows that he must be in the front, because he can feel that the opponent attaches great importance to him. Three people were staring at him nervously.

For a period of time after that, Manchester United was very passive on the scene, and the fans who came with the team looked nervous on the sidelines.

With Nicole as the striker, Scholes was the man in charge of organizing the attack in midfield. He got the ball and decided who to pass it to and how.The other teammates cooperated with him in running positions. In order to prepare for this game, Ferguson had the team conduct such training since the last league game.

To be honest, Wolfsburg was very uncomfortable with Nicole who came to the forward line. In their training before the game, they all prepared according to Nicole in the middle, but now, Nicole unexpectedly became a striker .

Therefore, they used these preparations on Scholes, but Ferguson seems to have been prepared for a long time, and there is Brazilian Anderson beside Scholes.

No.30 minutes, after Anderson cooperated with Scholes, he made a wonderful pass in the middle. Nickel suddenly ran back, and then rubbed his heels to send the ball behind the Wolfsburg defender.

"Beautiful! Nicole seems to have eyes behind her."

"Offside?" The German commentator was not sure.

Welbeck, who followed up, hit the ball into the gate, but the referee made a firm decision: offside first, the goal is invalid!
"This damn offside!" The Red Devils fans were indignant. To be honest, their mood has been relatively nervous, and the team's situation is too bad.

Wolfsburg obviously did not show any weakness, "A beautiful pass!" Schafer, who had always been a right back in the past, made a precise cross from the left and stuffed it into the 6 yards in front of Manchester United's goal. Where did Dzeko go when he was needed?

"Damn it!" Watching the football slide past the goal, the fans of Wolfsburg were very dissatisfied, because Dzeko, who had been clamoring for a transfer, was still outside the penalty area.

A FIFA reporter asked about Dzeko, "Do you know, as far as we know, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and many other giant clubs want to introduce you..." Dzeko dismissed the invitation from the Premier League, "For my future , I have my own plan. I am a standard AC Milan fan, and my goal has always been this, at some point, to play for this giant."

Such a public expression of his desire to join AC Milan, Dzeko's move will undoubtedly cause various rumors to recur between him and the Rossoneri.Judging from the rising momentum for two consecutive seasons, Dzeko is indeed a very capable player.In the World Cup qualifiers, Dzeko scored 9 goals, ranking second in the European region; last season in the Bundesliga, Dzeko scored 32 goals in 26 games. This season, he scored 9 goals in total in the league, Champions League and cup matches , which scored a goal for Manchester United at Old Trafford is even more impressive.

However, Dzeko's move also completely pushed himself to the opposite of the Wolfsburg fans.

"Hush..." There were boos everywhere in the public stadium, but this time Dzeko understood that it was him booing himself.

Next, Wolfsburg launched a series of attacks. Misimovic, Dzeko, and Joshua all had chances. However, Kushchak kept killing the opponent's hopes with his wonderful performance.

In the 41st minute, Japanese player Makoto Hasebe made a long-range shot that seemed to go straight to the dead corner. Fortunately, Kuschak flew to lift the ball out of the baseline.

"Well—" a huge sigh sounded in the public stadium. Although the goal was missed, this series of attacks made the fans in the stands very hooked.

Not only the fans at the scene, those German fans sitting in front of the TV also saw a game that was completely different from the previous Bundesliga. The pace of the game was so fast that their eyes couldn't keep up up.

Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion in the stadium, and soon the players understood that there was news that CSKA Moscow had scored a goal in another stadium.

Due to the weather, the field was very muddy, and the fierce competition left no clean spots on the players of both sides. The only exception was Nickel, who was still very clean.

Nickel was running and pinning the entire first half, and except for the pass to Welbeck, Nickel rarely touched the ball.

Before the end of the first half, Manchester United ushered in the opportunity to counterattack.

Scholes sent a through pass in the middle, and instead of rushing in, Nickel took two steps back, and then sent the ball diagonally to the neutral space on the left.

"Nicole - pass!"

Nani used his speed to overtake the Wolfsburg defender who was rushing back to the defense on the outfield. He kept going deep, because the opponent's defense was still in chaos. Nani saw the right time and made a cross from the left. The defenders looked up at the direction of the ball, and didn't pay attention to their backs at all, because they had already looked at it just now, and there was no opponent's support player beside them.

The head coach of Wolfsburg shouted from the sidelines, 'Look behind you! ’ However, his voice was drowned out by the huge din of the fans.

"Be careful! Nicole is rushing over." The narrator also exclaimed.

"Nikkor charged into the box...Man Utd have a chance!" was the England commentator.

The fans who were trying to boo to interfere with the opponent's attack naturally did not expect that it was their noise that made several voices reminding the defenders that the two defenders could not hear them.

Nickel cuts in at high speed, rushes out from between the opponent's two defenders, leaps high, and heads the ball into the goal.

"The ball... scored! It's Nicole! Our Nicole scored a goal with his first shot! Manchester United leads away with one goal!"

Now only the cheers of the Red Devils fans are left in the public stadium. It is also the first time they have cheered. Just now Welbeck's goal was stifled by the referee before celebrating, and the German fans who were still vigorously booing the opponent just now Some are at a loss. In their view, such a Manchester United team cannot prevent them from entering the top [-] of the Champions League. Now, what they should strive for is how to get the first place in the group, instead of caring about whether CSKA Moscow scored goals .

"Judging from the entire first half, Nickel is obviously not very good at being a striker, but it doesn't affect him to use goals to show his existence."

"Although Nickell is not a striker, he has a natural sense of killer!"

After Nickel landed, he glanced back at the football still rolling in the net. He ran to Nani who was still on the left side, jumped on Nani's back, and made a "shut up!" with his index finger. ' gesture, because just now the opponent's fans have been trying to boo them, so Nickell responded.

"Louis, to be honest, your pass is so comfortable, haha..." Nickel did not forget Nani who sent the assist.

The two run towards midfield, where they and their teammates will join up.

Amin Fei looked very upset, and before the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, he turned his head and got into the player tunnel instead of waiting for the players to return there.

Ferguson, who was full of smiles, stood on the sidelines to welcome every player, and even did not hesitate to stain his black coat with muddy water.

When Nicole walked off the field, Ferguson even gave Nicole a hug, and then pulled Nicole to the locker room.

The narrator said sourly, "At this moment, Nicole is God!"
