Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior
Chapter 116: Accepting orders at the critical moment, MD connects to reverse the defeat (page 12)
Wolfsburg defeated Schalke 2 0-04 at home, gaining six consecutive victories in all competitions while keeping clean sheets in the past four games.
The points are also two points ahead of Bayern again, leading the Bundesliga standings.
Martin did not score a goal or direct assist, but his role was crucial on both offense and defense.
Considering that the team played the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday, the team's plan to win is economical.
It is to ensure three points while reducing consumption as much as possible.
At the end of the season, accumulated physical fatigue can easily lead to muscle fatigue, leading to deformation of technical movements in the game. In severe cases, serious injuries may lead to season reimbursement.
Martin didn't worry about injuries before he turned 20, but his teammates were as cautious as possible.
Affordable victory is the ideal state.
Team first!
After defeating Schalke 2 0-04 at home, head coach Heijing gave the players a day off and praised the players for their big score victory over Naples last Thursday night.
While the players take the day off to rest, Black King and his coaching staff continue to work.
Although they defeated visiting Naples 4-0 at home, it does not mean that they will reach the semi-finals of this season's Europa League.
There is also good news from Naples. They only made adjustments to three positions in the weekend's league.
Gardano replaced Inler, Strinic and Maggio replaced Gulam and Maggio respectively.
The other eight positions were all played in the first round of the Europa League quarter-finals at the Volkswagen Arena. There was no extensive rotation in the weekend league. It can be basically concluded that Naples will most likely give up the second round of home games.
As a former cup master, Benitez must know that using a lineup will bring huge hidden dangers to the team's performance.
They defeated Cagliari 3:0 as a guest in order to qualify for the Europa League.
They suffered a 0:4 defeat as a guest. It can basically be said that they were eliminated early, but it is understandable that Benitez decided to protect the league.
The whole team was on holiday, and Martin did not rest. He continued to join the gym and continue to increase his body's strength.
Currently [Strength] has reached 66, and has tasted the benefits of the gradually increasing confrontation, so I want to further strengthen in terms of physical confrontation.
In mid-week, the first game started was the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
The team that experienced an unpleasant first round has a chance for redemption. Whether it can go further depends on the next second round.
Bayern lost to Porto 1:3 in the first round and returned to the Allianz Arena in the second round to explode.
5:0 at halftime, 6:1 at full time!
The total score was 7:4, which eliminated Porto, a giant from the Portuguese Super League.
This score also illustrates the huge gap between the two leagues' leading teams.
Another game that was played at the same time ended at the Camp Nou. The home team Barcelona defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2:0 and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 5:1.
The next day is the second midweek Champions League match day.
The entire Wolfsburg team took a flight from Hannover to Naples to prepare for the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.
The Wolfsburg players who went on the trip performed very low-key, and the itinerary was strictly implemented in accordance with UEFA's requirements.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the whole team went to the St. Paul Stadium for pre-match training.
Heijing took De Bruyne to attend the regular pre-match press conference and faced the favorites mentioned by media reporters to win the Europa League.
He was very humble: "Don't let people hear rumors. We haven't made it to the semi-finals yet, how can we talk about winning the championship? What we have in front of us is to advance to the semi-finals. Isn't it disrespectful to Naples to discuss advancement prematurely? This team's Everything deserves our respect!”
These words were very pleasant to the ears of the local media in Naples, including some reporters with mafia backgrounds who couldn't help but nod.
Old boy, the road is getting wider.
More than two hours later, it was the home team’s regular pre-match press conference.
Benitez is still stubborn, saying that his team has not been completely eliminated, and there is still hope of advancement in tomorrow night's game at the Sao Paulo Stadium. He also called on the home fans to give them greater support.
Many local media in Naples rolled their eyes and said: I support you, you are a hammer.
That night, the remaining two Champions League quarter-finals came to an end.
Monaco tied with Juventus 0:0, and the visiting team advanced with a total score of 1:0.
At home, Real Madrid also eliminated its city rival Atletico Madrid with a total score of 1:0 thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's assist to 'Little Pea' Hernandez's winning goal at the end of the game.
The Champions League semi-finals will be decided, and the drawing ceremony will be held at UEFA headquarters at noon the next day after the Europa League semi-finals have settled.
At 8pm local time in Europe on Thursday, the remaining four Europa League quarter-finals kick off at the same time.
At the Sao Paulo Stadium, the contest between the home team Napoli and Wolfsburg kicked off.
The starting lineup of the home team Naples has made four position adjustments compared to the first round. Mesto replaced Maggio at right back, and Bristol replaced Koulibaly at center back.
Midfielder David Lopes replaced Jorgini and Insigne replaced captain Hamsik.
Wolfsburg made nearly half of its main changes.
Martin, who recently played all 90 minutes of the game, was on the bench and was replaced by Sebastian Jung.
Tim Klose replaced Knoch, Dost was replaced by Bendtner, Caligiuri replaced Schurrle, and Alexander-Arnold replaced De Bruyne.
Several starting substitute players performed quite well. From the first second of the game, they ran without hesitation to complete the defensive tasks assigned by head coach Heijing before the game.
Naples did not make much adjustments in the core position. With the cheers and cheers of the home fans, Naples took full initiative in the game and began to use tacit cooperation to launch a mercury-like offensive.
Heijing obviously did enough homework before the game, and made very targeted adjustments to his tactics after getting Naples' starting lineup. As a result, his team looked very passive, but was actually quite safe.
The forty-five minutes of the first half passed quickly, with both sides attacking and defending each other. According to the data provided by the broadcaster, Naples took the absolute initiative.
The key data of ball possession ratio, number of shots and hits on goal are all leading.
The score shown on the scoreboard did not match their performance.
0:0
The two sides ended in a goalless draw in the first half.
PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "Both sides gave us a very exciting first half in the past 45 minutes, but Naples did not score a goal despite their advantage. The total score is still 0:4 behind. In other words, there are still 45 minutes left for Wolfsburg to advance to the semi-finals of this season’s Europa League.”
"Youngster Martin is about to set a new record for Dragons players in the Europa League."
Guest commentator Li Yuankui said: "The semi-finals of the Europa League! This record is not an honor with the team, but achieved through his outstanding performance leading the team!"
The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court from their respective locker rooms.
Before the start of the second half, Naples took the lead in making personnel adjustments.
Hamsik replaces Insigne.
