After the conversation with Mendes, the two parties agreed to sign the contract after the Europa League game in the company of a lawyer hired by Zhao's father.

By then, Zhao Jinge will also become one of the players under Mendes, the football giant.

At five o'clock in the afternoon on February 20, although the attention was not as high as that of the Champions League, the Europa League game still attracted a large number of fans to watch the game.

"Welcome to watch the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals between Wolfsburg and Sporting CP.

In this game, Wolfsburg still played all their main players and sent out their familiar 4231 system, which is also the system in which they scored the most goals.

Sporting Lisbon deployed a 433 formation in the away game.

Goalkeeper: Patricio.

Defenders: Cedric Suarez, Tobias Figueiredo, Paulo Oliveira, Jefferson.

Midfielder: Joao Mario, Carrillo, Andre Silva.

Forwards: Nani, Freddy Montero, Russell.

From the formations of both sides, it can be seen that both teams have a strong desire to attack.

Now the players from both sides are ready, let's enjoy this wonderful contest together!"

Dost kicked off the game with a classic reverse-foot kick.

The two sides in New York are not familiar with each other. Wolfsburg feels that the opponent is a Portuguese giant, and the priority is stability. First, take a look at the quality of the opponent.

Over at Sporting CP, looking at Wolfsburg's recent nine-game winning streak in the Bundesliga, I feel a little guilty. The opponent opposite just slaughtered Bayern less than a month ago.

Then I scored big scores every time in the Bundesliga. I felt that it was not easy to deal with. So I put on a posture of 433, and the score became 451 as soon as I played.

The opening stage of the game passed slowly with both sides testing each other.

After a period of testing, the Wolfsburg players felt that this was the case with the opponent.

The Portuguese Super League giants have a great name, but their playing intensity is not as strong as Leverkusen!

After several midfielders and frontcourt players communicated with each other, Wolfsburg's players began to speed up.

Through a faster rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions and stronger control of the midfield, they completely suppressed Portugal's offense.

Sporting CP's attacking formation was torn to pieces by Wolfsburg's defense starting from the midfield.

As soon as Nani stopped the ball on the wing, Zhao Jinge came to his side. He was not in a hurry to grab the ball, but just stood in front of Nani.

When Nani was about to force the ball past Zhao Jinge, Vierinha, who had already come behind Nani, successfully stole the ball and then passed the ball to Zhao Jinge.

Nani counterattacked, and Zhao Jinge hit the ball with Vierinha and completed a one-two.

Seeing Zhao Jinge holding the ball and looking like he was going to move forward, Sporting CP midfielder Joao Mario, who was returning to defense, quickly went to fill Nani's position.

After Zhao Jinge got the ball, he made a fake pass. Ruo Subaru-Mario, who was in a hurry to grab the ball, was deceived and lost his center of gravity.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Jinge quickly dribbled the ball forward, aiming to penetrate the bottom line. Sporting CP full-back Jefersson had no choice but to pull aside to block.

As soon as Zhao Jinge saw that the opponent was coming to block, before Jefersson could get close, he passed the ball across to De Bruyne who was in front.

De Bruyne, who got the ball on the line of the penalty area, attracted Sporting CP center back Figueiredo and flanked the Sporting CP midfielder behind him.

De Bruyne did not hesitate to pass the ball directly to Dost, the fulcrum in the penalty area, and then bypassed the defensive player and advanced towards the goal.

Dost held the ball with his back, leaning on Sporting CP defender Oliveira, and passed the ball to Zhao Jinge, who came in from behind.

Zhao Jinge, who had no defensive players in front of him, swung the ball forward and the ball easily penetrated into the far corner of the Sporting CP goal.

"GOAL!!!! In the 22nd minute of the game, Zhao's goal opened the scoring for Wolfsburg! This is also his first European goal!"

"This is a typical team goal. It is constantly passing and constantly tearing apart Sporting CP's defense."

"After others draw away the defensive players, Zhao will complete the fatal blow!"

"Sporting CP has now lost control of the rhythm of the game. They have been following the rhythm of Wolfsburg!"

Seeing Zhao Jinge's goal, Mendes and Zhao Jinge's parents were also smiling in the VIP box at the Volkswagen Arena.

The two parties have agreed to sign the contract after the game.

At this time, Zhao Jinge can score a European goal in the first European war of his career, which is of course even more joyful!

After conceding the goal, Sporting CP was obviously unwilling to leave the Volkswagen Arena with a defeat.

They began to make large-scale active runs in the midfield, trying to limit Wolfsburg's midfield control and began to fight for control of the midfield.

Wolfsburg's midfielders, especially De Bruyne, have long been familiar with this kind of pressing.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, he gave up too much control of the football. After catching the ball, he passed the ball safely to his teammates as quickly as possible.

And the wide range of ball transmission between the two wings and the backcourt made it possible that although Sporting CP was always fighting for it, it was never able to obtain enough ball rights.

When they finally got the ball and prepared to organize an attack, they had to face Wolfsburg's reverse pressure.

It is their offense that is difficult to produce the expected results. Under such circumstances, the players of Sporting CP have increasingly begun to work alone.

Nani, in particular, wants to seek a certain breakthrough through his own personal abilities.

But in the face of Wolfsburg's solid defense, it had no effect at all.

On the contrary, Wolfsburg's offense made them feel suffocated. After several attacks, Sporting CP's formation began to shrink.

"They want to hold on to this score until the second half and don't give them a chance."

Dieter Heijing reminded his players on the sidelines that if the two-round game can be killed in one round, then why not do it?

Facing the intensive defense of Sporting CP, Wolfsburg began to frequently use full-backs to pull down West Ham United's defensive formation.

This tactical idea of ​​pulling back and playing the ball is similar to Bayern's two wings flying together.

It's just a pendulum that swings left and right sideways, allowing the opponent's defense to continuously move back and forth, thereby creating gaps.

In the 41st minute of the game, after receiving a cross from De Bruyne, Arnold passed the ball directly to Gustave on the left without stopping.

After taking the ball, Gustav made a fake move to move forward, but actually left the football where it was and did not touch it.

But just this fake move made the defensive player of Sporting CP, who was very nervous in the front, take two steps back, creating a gap of two steps.

This caused a gap in their defensive line, and Gustav passed the ball between the legs of the defender in front of him.

Rodriguez defended in a shootout. Before the player reacted, he borrowed a pass from Gustav and passed the ball to Dost in the middle.

Dost was covered by Zhao Jinge, grabbed the ball's landing point, and made a shovel shot that fell to the ground and shoveled the ball directly into the goal.

"GOAL!!!! Dost! The Dutchman has also fully opened up his scoring account recently! After scoring four goals in the last round of Bundesliga, he scored again in the European War!"

Dost was so excited that he took an extra-long slide and almost hit the billboard on the sidelines.

The first half of the game passed under the siege of Wolfsburg.

In the second half, Sporting CP didn't come up with any good ideas.

We can only defend and counterattack blindly, waiting for Wolfsburg to reveal its flaws.

But with two goals in hand and a promising promotion situation, Wolfsburg has no reason to be anxious or make mistakes.
Chapter completed!
