Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Wolfsburg's home match against Bayern Munich is the pinnacle showdown of the 2014nd round of the Bundesliga in the 2015-22 season. The Bundesliga deliberately arranged the game in the last game of the round.

At the Sebena training base, Guardiola and his coaching staff are taking the time to study and discuss countermeasures on how to counter Wolfsburg on both offense and defense.

De Bruyne, Martin and Dost are the combination that Guardiola's coaching team pays most attention to.

Among them, the names of De Bruyne and Martin have added heavy circles.

The former is the core of Wolfsburg's midfield, and the latter is Wolfsburg's important output role.

As for Dost's outbreak, it is entirely dependent on the performance of De Bruyne and Martin. Once the two are restricted, Dost, who lacks artillery output, will become isolated and helpless.

Guardiola has previously thought that the most convenient way is to buy Martin in the winter window. While suppressing competitors, he can also transform Martin according to his ideas.

Wolfsburg is backed by the Volkswagen Group, has a good financial situation, and has the possibility of competing for the league championship. Naturally, it will not easily sell its core players.

The two teams met in the first round at the Allianz Arena, and Martin's performance in that game was very eye-catching.

Passing and shooting, he also showed super dominance on the defensive end.

Therefore, Guardiola's coaching team needs to do two things.

The first is how to cut off the connection between De Bruyne and Martin, and the second is to effectively inhibit Martin's participation in the offense.

One contributed 11 assists, and the other contributed 14 assists.

The 2014st round of the 2015-21 Bundesliga season has ended, with 13 games left.

It is said that the league has reached a white-hot stage. From the championship level, the result of this game will seriously affect the final championship.

Bayern leads by four points and they still have some room for maneuver.

Winning further expands the lead and greatly increases the probability of winning, but a draw is also acceptable.

Once they lose, the difference between them will be one point.

At that time, the ownership of the league championship will become confusing.

For Guardiola, the Champions League championship is actually the most important.

But the Bundesliga championship is a guarantee and must be won.

There is no pressure in the league, so we can focus more on the Champions League.

The draw result for the 1/8 finals of the Champions League was good. The opponent was Shakhtar Donetsk. It was a no-brainer to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season.

But what about the Champions League quarter-finals?

The teams that advance are all the top teams in Europe!

Many times, you can't win the game even if you put 100% into the game!

The Bayern players at the Sebena training base know this very well, and each one of them works extra hard during the training process.

Robben, who had an appointment with Martin for the second round, is even more motivated, thinking of competing in the second round at the Volkswagen Arena!

Wolfsburg training center at the other end.

All players except Martin conducted tactical drills under the leadership of assistant coach Bremser.

The office building of the training center.

Martin was accompanied by head coach Heijing and tactical analyst Frank Gaedeke to study footage of how Guardiola used Lahm.

Black Gold is not completely copying Guardiola, but making subtle changes.

The video kept playing, and Heijin paused from time to time to make a few drawings on the tactical board.

Frank Gaedecker will also add a couple of timely remarks.

Martin nodded from time to time to show understanding.

When the team is attacking, he can complete crosses in the offensive third zone according to the actual situation, and the position vacancy will be filled by the full midfielder or full back in the area.

When he encounters a tactical problem that he doesn't understand, he doesn't pretend to understand, but humbly asks for advice.

As Martin greatly understood the tactical requirements, both Heijing and Gaedeke lamented Martin's super understanding ability.

To put it simply, he has a high golf quotient.

Looking at each other, it seems that taking Martin's position is a very good choice.

However, practice and theory are two different things. The specific situation will not be known until the home game against Bayern.

With a thorough understanding of tactics, Martin, Heijing and Gaedeke came to the first team training ground from the office building.

Carry out targeted tactical deployment and tactical drills before the game.

Martin partnered with Gustavo as a double midfielder, which was a tactical change mentioned in the morning training session.

In the absence of a full-time defensive midfielder, Martin is indeed a very good backup option.

He has super defensive ability and running coverage ability, and can completely act as a barrier in front of the central defender.

Wolfsburg's regular tactics are very mature, and this drill is a fine adjustment for Martin's role as the right midfielder.

That is to say, let Martin adapt to his position on the field first, and then let other players and Martin adapt to each other's presence.

Although the midfielder is responsible for the protection in front of the central defender, in many cases it is not just defense.

With the development of modern football, every position must be tapped to its maximum potential.

Black Gold has no organizational requirements for Martin. The main task is for De Bruyne to be responsible, with Gustavo cooperating, and Martin is at most responsible for the transition.

In addition, Martin never does anything beyond his capabilities in training and games, and the coaching staff and teammates maintain a high degree of trust in him.

At the end of the two tactical training sessions, Gustavo couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his new partner Martin: "I can't tell. I didn't expect you to have the potential to become a defensive midfielder."

"Everywhere, Brother Louis is taking care of me. Without your care, I would have made a lot of mistakes."

"Hehe~"

Gustavo smiled happily and patted Martin on the shoulder: "If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

"In this case……"

Martin didn't notice anyone else and put his arm around Gustavo's shoulders: "I'm still a little confused in some aspects. I hope you can give me some help."

"To sum it up, the offense protects the football, and the defense protects the space."

Gustavo pondered for a moment and said briefly.

Head coach Heijin heard the conversation between Martin and Gustavo sporadically and couldn't help but nodded lightly.

Being capable and diligent, the key is not being ashamed to ask questions if you don’t understand something.

The most important thing is that he is very young.

It's only been two months since I turned eighteen.

The potential is endless!

He is increasingly unable to see through Martin's potential.

In the first half of the season, he thought Martin's upper limit was a world-class full-back. Now... he feels that Martin has the potential of a world-class defensive midfielder, although it has not yet been revealed in the game.

In the tactical drills and group confrontations at the training ground, he already has a vague general style.

The 2014-2015 Bundesliga season will begin with a few league games.

I don’t know if other Bundesliga teams have reached some kind of tacit understanding to watch the fight from afar. Starting from the third-ranked Borussia Monchengladbach, they are collectively invincible.

弗赖堡1：1霍芬海姆、斯图加特2：3多特蒙德、美因茨3：1法兰克福、奥格斯堡2：2勒沃库森、云达不莱梅1：1沙尔克04。

Wolfsburg faces Bayern at home, the last game of this round.
