Chapter 105 The role of core players, scoring two goals in 3 minutes

At 09:30 the next morning, the Wolfsburg team returned to the training center to participate in recovery training.

Prepare for the 2014-2015 UEFA Europa League 1/8 final second leg at San Siro on Thursday.

Head coach Hei Jin and his coaching team keenly discovered that the mental outlook of the main players has undergone obvious positive changes.

He was a little curious, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't know what the problem was, so he simply didn't think about it.

The enthusiasm of the main players has increased and they are in good condition. This...is a very good thing for the team.

Captain Benalio saw that the energy of his teammates was much better than in the past, and his competitive state was also very good.

He knew that yesterday's dinner had the desired effect.

As a Swiss national team, the upper limit of strength is the same.

At the age of 31, it is difficult for him to create new glories in his career, so before the start of this season, he wanted to spend the best stage of his career in a stable way.

With the outbreak of De Bruyne and Martin's outstanding performance, players in other positions ushered in the highlight moments of their careers. The team's overall performance is getting better and better. After 25 rounds of the league, they are only 1 point behind Bayern.

The German Cup has entered the top sixteen, and the Europa League 1/8 finals won the first leg 4:0, which means that there is a high probability of advancing to the top eight.

With the possibility of winning the championship on all three fronts, as the captain, Benalio thinks what he should do.

After thinking about it, I finally took advantage of the head coach Hei Jin's holiday yesterday to invite the core teammates of the team to have a dinner, unifying the thoughts of the teammates who have a lot of say in the locker room.

The result was fantastic, with his teammates eager for the potential glory.

The junior triple crown champion who has a tacit understanding of his career seems to be beckoning to him constantly.

The atmosphere in the Wolfsburg training center is very good, the players are in good condition, and Heijin's coaching team has more confidence in the next competitions!

The two matchdays in the middle of the week still belong to the Champions League.

These two days will determine the last four places in the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League.

On Tuesday night, Atletico Madrid played at the Calderon Stadium against Bayer Leverkusen from the Bundesliga.

Monaco hosts Arsenal.

Atletico Madrid, who lost 0:1 in the first round, returned home to beat visiting Leverkusen 1:0.

The two sides fought 2:2 in the regular time of the two rounds, and the number of away goals was equal, so they had to enter overtime.

Since neither team scored a goal in three 10-minute overtime, the game then entered the cruelest penalty shootout.

The goalkeepers of both teams played very well, but Atletico Madrid, which is more dominant in overall strength, performed better in the end, making three of five free throws, while Leverkusen made two of five free throws.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid has reached the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League in a thrilling manner.

同时进行的另外一场比赛是阿森纳做客2:0击败主队摩纳哥,但是他们首回合主场1:3落败,总比分战成3:3却因为客场进球数少而惨遭淘汰。

Wednesday is the second UEFA Champions League match day, and the Wolfsburg team also departed from Hannover for Milan this morning by flight.

Perhaps it was because Wolfsburg won 4-0 at home in the first round, and many media were not very interested in the second round without much suspense.

After all, Inter Milan is no longer the invincible team back then.

In addition, Wolfsburg's state in the second half of the season is really good. Except for the 1:16 draw with Liverpool in the first round of the Europa League 1/1 final, they have maintained a complete victory in all other competitions.

With the current overall strength and state of Inter Milan, even if they win at home, it is only a small victory at best, which is irrelevant at all.

Other games are different and full of suspense.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the entire Wolfsburg team took the bus to the Meazza Stadium to adapt to the venue before the game.

According to the usual practice, head coach Hei Jin takes a starting player to the press conference hall to participate in the routine press conference before the game.

His speech was exactly the same as before, mainly low-key.

Said that although they beat Inter Milan 4:0 at home, they must maintain 100% concentration when they come to Meazza in the second round, and they will send the best starting lineup according to the players' real-time status.

The reporters who attended the press conference were all good people, and they couldn't hear what Hei Jin said.

It is talking about the best starting lineup, but not the strongest starting lineup.

The key is that such words sound very comfortable, making it difficult for people to find loopholes.

Hei Jin can completely deny if he insists on saying the meaning behind the words, and beat him back.

Mancini, who participated in the routine press conference before the game later, was interviewed by media reporters, just as many fans thought in advance.

First of all, as long as the two rounds of the knockout rounds are not over, there will be hope. Tomorrow night, the second round at the Meazza Stadium hopes that the home fans will give the players full encouragement.

At that time, they will definitely be able to work together to create miracles.

The speech is impassioned, the problem is that no one pays attention to him...

The reporters sitting across from the press conference were speechless. Some reporters even wanted to ask: Do you believe what the fuck you just said?
But don't say it, Mancini himself believed it.

That night, the second round of the last two UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals came to an end.

All the top eight seats have also been settled.

La Liga has become the biggest winner, with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

Followed by Ligue [-], there are Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.

Serie A, Bundesliga and Portuguese Super League each have a seat.

Juventus, Bayern and Porto.

As for the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony, it will be held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon after the Europa League quarter-finals are determined.

With the final eight of the UEFA Champions League finalized, the focus of mainstream European media is on the second leg of the Europa League 1/8 finals.

The Europa League is naturally less influential than the UEFA Champions League, but the competition is related to the UEFA Champions League seats next season and the European competition points of major leagues. The media of various countries are very concerned about the participating teams participating in the second round of the Europa League 1/8 finals.

There are many Serie A teams and La Liga teams shortlisted for the top 16 of the Europa League, but after the first round of the Europa League 1/8 finals, there are not many teams that can finally advance.

Serie A is particularly tragic. The five advanced teams, counting Fiorentina and Roma who were drawn together, at most two teams can advance to the quarter-finals of this season's Europa League.

The Bundesliga team has only Wolfsburg left in the Europa League. The big lead in the first round means that the probability of advancing to the quarter-finals is very high.

At 1:8 p.m. local time on Thursday in Europe, Inter Milan's Europa League [-]/[-] final second leg against Wolfsburg at the Meazza Stadium kicked off.

Wolfsburg, which defeated Inter Milan with four goals in the first round, made some rotations to the starting lineup. Martin, De Bruyne and Naldo sat on the bench in case of emergency.

In fact, Inter Milan players have long been unwilling to focus on the second round of the Europa League 1/8 finals where there is little hope of advancing, and their enthusiasm for the game is relatively poor.

On the other hand, the fringe players of Wolfsburg who got the chance to start played very actively, and they did not lose the slightest bit against the home team Inter Milan.

Whether it is a positional attack or a counterattack, they are all fought with great vigor.

At the end of the first half, the scoreboard showed a score of 0:1.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and the home team Inter Milan, which had no hope of chasing points, played more casually.

Unexpectedly, it had an unexpected effect.

Ilkardi and Palacio each scored a goal in just 5 minutes to overtake the score.

The Inter Milan fans at the Meazza Stadium erupted instantly, and for the first time since the start of the game, a huge tsunami-like chanting broke out.

Wolfsburg coach Heijin didn't panic at all, and said to the bench: "Kevin, Martin, go warm up."

As the core players of the visiting team, the two got up and went to the warm-up area because of the special care of the live director.

PP sports commentator Zhan Junlang said: "I tell the fans in front of the TV to wait until now to see Martin coming off the bench, right? Thanks to Inter Milan's strong offense, they scored two goals in a row to overtake the score. Martin and De Bruyne are about to come off the bench. Come on!"

A large number of Longguo fans who were drowsy sitting in front of the computer screen woke up one by one after hearing this.

Eight minutes later, Wolfsburg made personnel adjustments at the same time.

Martin and De Bruyne stand in the substitution technical area.

Replacing Tresch and Hunter, respectively.

"Martin replaced Tresch instead of Sebastian Jung, which means he played as a defensive midfielder."

Seeing this adjustment, Zhan Jun frowned involuntarily: "De Bruyne's replacement of Hunter is a match-up adjustment. Martin, who plays a defensive midfielder, can certainly ensure the safety of the central defense, but he can fully demonstrate his offensive ability." Talent?"

In the next game, Hei Jin's tactical employment proved what it means to be professional.

As a defensive midfielder, Martin can't go forward as unscrupulously as a right back, but he can wait for the opportunity to switch from defense to offense while standing on defense.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Martin cut off the ball at the feet of Icardi, who was speeding up to the top of the arc in the penalty area.

Facing Medel's attack, he turned 360° on the spot and easily threw it away, and then made a long pass with his right foot.

The football rising from the ground flew obliquely towards the attacking left rib, and flew towards Xu Erle, who was advancing at a high speed.

The long pass sent by Martin was just calculated in advance, and the landing point was exactly at the same beat as Schurrle who was running at full speed, and it also effectively affected the defensive player's position selection.

I saw Schurrle attacking the left rib and cutting the football that fell to knee height.

Bendtner's oblique insertion from the center left Nokia behind, took away Juan Jesus' defensive attention, and won the attacking space for Caligiuri, who advanced on the right.

Schurrle fully implemented the counterattack tactics formulated by head coach Hei Jin before the game, and passed the ball to Caligiuri.

The left-back Thornton, who followed closely, did not hesitate to start, but he didn't dare to move too much.

Caligiuri, who ran to the top of the arc in the penalty area, stepped on the football with the sole of his left foot and pulled it back.

After completing the pass, Schurrle did not stop in place, but continued to run diagonally forward.

With Inter Milan's midfield defender out of position, Caligiuri stepped on the ball with his left foot and pulled back to make Wolfsburg's quick counterattack suddenly clear.

"Schuerle!"

Accompanied by PP sports commentator Zhan Jun's shouting voice, the high-speed running Xu Erle took the slow-moving football in the direction of travel and cut into the penalty area.

Goalkeeper Handanovic gives away!

Xu Erle caught up with the ball in a few lunges, drew his bow and set an arrow.

The football he kicked out is very powerful, like a shell that has been released from the chest.

Handanovic, who was attacking, had already felt the surging energy emanating from the oncoming football, and before he subconsciously stretched out his left hand, the powerful football swept past and hit the snow-white net.

2: 2!

Wolfsburg equalize!
The fanatical atmosphere at the Meazza Stadium was instantly reduced to a minimum.

But for the frustrated home fans, the goal was just the beginning.

After 2 minutes, Inter Milan made a mistake in passing the ball in the middle. Martin took advantage of his speed and stabbed the football to De Bruyne, who led the ball and turned around in one go.

Slightly raised his head and glanced at his teammate's running position, swung his right foot and sent a very penetrating kick to the left on the right side of the arc in the middle circle of his own side.

Right-back Cambugnaro actively participated in the offense, but he did not expect his teammates to make mistakes in passing the ball in midfield.

It was too late to turn around and chase.

Schurrle, on the left flank, smacked the slanted ball sent by De Bruyne, and Ranocchia, who was facing the supplementary defense, used his speed advantage to forcibly buckle the football to the bottom line.

About 15 meters away from the bottom line, Xu Erle, who was at full speed, swept the middle of the penalty area vigorously.

Bennett, who seized a favorable position, blocked Juan Jesus with his strong body on the left side of the penalty spot, supported his body with his right foot, and volleyed the ball with his left foot.

Handanovic, who was moving quickly towards the near end of the goal, was very depressed. He felt that it was another powerful close-range shot, and he had nothing to do.

Unless you're aiming at him, you can't touch the ball at all.

'Confident Emperor' Bendtner's shooting skills are not bad, and his powerful left foot volley directly hits the left side of the goal.

"The ball is scored again!"

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun shouted emotionally: "Wolfsburg scored two goals in just 3 minutes and overtook the score!"
