Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Martin's long pass assisted Schuerle to score, extending the score to two goals.

The fans of the home team at the Volkswagen Arena were as excited as children, dancing and cheering loudly.

It's been less than ten minutes since the game started.

A two-goal lead means more goals are likely to follow.

If Naples continues to play according to the tactics developed before the game, this possibility is very high.

Benitez made a prompt decision and launched Plan B.

That is to say, focus on stability and wait for opportunities to appear before attacking with all your strength.

First narrow the point difference, then equalize the score!

But...the problem before Benitez is that they will automatically get the right to kick off after conceding the ball...

How to do?

attack?

Thinking of conceding two goals in two minutes, he was a little afraid to attack unscrupulously.

To be honest, losing 0:2 as a guest is barely acceptable.

It would be perfect if we could get an away goal in the remaining game time.

After a brief period of deliberation, Benitez decided to play it safe first to prevent Wolfsburg from scoring consecutive quick counterattack goals.

0:2 still has hope, 0:3 means collapse.

No one thought that Naples, which had a kick-off advantage, would choose to defend first when trailing by two goals.

But these people soon thought that this is Wolfsburg's home court!

The game took a two-goal lead in less than ten minutes, and the overall state was obviously better than Naples.

If the kick-off directly increases the number of attackers to threaten Wolfsburg's defense, then it is possible that goals will continue to be conceded.

The second goal Naples conceded was due to them strengthening their offense after having a kick-off advantage.

In addition, Mertens wants to rely on his super personal dribbling ability to test whether Martin is as good as the rumors.

Naples changed their game strategy, and Heijing, who was standing in the home team coach's command area, felt a little bored. He still hoped that Benitez's team would be braver.

Only by pulling out to attack can we have a chance to kill the game, but now... we can only wait for the opportunity.

Naples, who had changed their tactics, played very methodically and step by step in the restarted game.

Although no absolute chances were created, the goal guarded by Andujar was very safe.

The home team already has a two-goal lead and is confident.

For them, since the away team that is two goals behind is not in a hurry, why is it that they are in a hurry with a two-goal lead?

The game was both offensive and defensive, but in the end, Wolfsburg, playing at home, took the initiative and had the advantage with more possession of the ball and more shots.

Time passed very quickly during this period, and in the blink of an eye it was thirty minutes into the first half.

The scoreboard still showed the score 2:0, with the home team leading.

Naples got an offensive opportunity, with Hamsik and Jorginho organizing the attack in tandem.

In order to prevent Wolfsburg's good defensive counterattack tactics from posing a direct threat to Andujar's goal, the two full-backs are not allowed to assist at the same time.

The number of attackers moving forward is also limited. Higuain at the front is the kind of player who needs huge support from the midfield and backcourt. Without enough artillery shells, he really has no way to threaten Benaglio's guard. goal.

Although his technical characteristics tend to be an 'all-round forward', he has speed, good running position, good foot skills and outstanding sense of smell in front of the goal.

But the foundation of everything is based on the support of teammates.

Without adequate support from his teammates, he is like a tiger without teeth.

The on-site director once again captured Higuain spreading his hands and complaining about his teammates not passing the ball. PP sports commentator Zhan Jun sighed: "'Small Smoking Gun' does not have the support of his teammates, and his tactical role is minimized. If Naples wants to score in the away game, The ball and giving Higuain enough support is a problem that must be solved in a short time."

"Support this view."

Guest commentator Li Yuankui joked: "We all say that Higuain is weak in competitions. The Europa League quarter-finals are not an important game. As long as the ball is given to Higuain, we all have enough reasons." Confidence that he will put the ball into Benaglio's goal."

How could Benitez not know that it is possible to score goals by supporting Higuain?

Wolfsburg's targeted deployment is very clear, which is to cut off the connection between the offensive players and Higuain. If they want to give more support, they must increase the number of attackers.

In this way, problems may arise when switching from offense to defense.

The second goal conceded was still fresh in his mind, and he didn't want to fall behind by three goals in the first half.

The miracle that happened in Istanbul ten years ago is not so easy to replicate.

Otherwise, it cannot be called a miracle.

Time passed by second by second, and soon it came to the end of the first half.

The visiting team Naples had no intention of strengthening their offense. Wolfsburg still played according to the tactics formulated before the game and consumed the game time reasonably.

Defeating Naples 2:0 at home was also a very good result.

One minute of stoppage time passed, and the referee Atkinson blew his whistle to signal the end of the first half of the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals between Wolfsburg and Naples.

……

At the end of the fifteen-minute intermission, players from both sides of the game returned to the court from the tunnel to prepare for the second half of the game.

Before the start of the game, Naples, which was lagging behind, took the lead in making personnel adjustments.

Insigne came on to replace Mertens, who had a poor performance in the first half.

Heijing, who saw this adjustment, didn't care because Benitez's substitution intention was to counterpoint.

Martin is guarding the right wing, and no player can take a step forward.

From a technical point of view, Mertens is actually more threatening.

Insigne, who is only 1.63 meters tall, has very similar technical characteristics to Mertens in all aspects. Although they are not tall, they both have the inherent advantage of dribbling. They often like to make emergency stops and cut inside. It gives defenders a headache.

If we want to specifically distinguish the tactical positioning of the two, Mertens's characteristics are closer to that of a false nine or shadow forward, using more breakthroughs and dribbles to score goals.

Insigne prefers to pass the ball to pave the way for his teammates, so Benitez's idea is to hope that Insigne will use his personal preference of cooperation to send a pass to Higuain.

At the kick-off of the second half, Naples quickly used good cooperation to move the football to the 30-meter area of ​​the frontcourt. After a certain amount of passing and running, the football was given to Insigne on the left.

Facing Martin for the first time in his career, Insigne's expression was somewhat solemn.

For the famous super full-back in front of him, he knew that it would be difficult to create opportunities by forcing a breakthrough.

But his teammates have already won a breakthrough opportunity for themselves through passing and cutting, so they must act decisively.

Martin realized that Insigne in front of him was planning to break through with the ball and was ready.

Compared with most players who are about 1.8 meters tall, Insigne, who is only 1.63 meters tall, has better dribbling ability and change of direction.

When his teammates were unable to support him, Martin lowered his center of gravity, fought and retreated, and waited for Insigne to make the first move.
