Chapter 27 The beaten Wolfsburg(1/2)

 The game soon came to the end of the first half, and Wolfsburg's players were exhausted from the hard battle.

In the 41st minute of the first half, Wolfsburg midfielder Gustav stepped in from the backcourt and supported Arnold, becoming a new contact point.

Dost, who was holding the ball, passed the ball despite being double-teamed by Naples.

But Naples full-back Maggio and defensive midfielder David Lopez followed closely, and the two quickly attacked, causing Gustave to make a mistake and pass the ball with great force.

The pass to Zhao Jinge was passed too far and was directly intercepted by Naples center back Britos and handed to Hamsik in the midfield.

Hamsik advanced with the ball in his own half, and De Bruyne stepped forward to counterattack.

After Hamsik quickly hit the wall with David Lopez, he easily got rid of De Bruyne and handed the ball to Mertens on the left.

Mertens quickly advanced with the ball on the left wing, and Vierinha was forced to step forward to help defend the center with Arnold to resist Mertens' offensive threat.

Seeing the two men approaching to grab the ball, Mertens turned around to protect the ball and handed the ball to Hamsik, who came up to respond.

Hamsik quickly passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the Wolfsburg penalty area.

Callejon had been waiting for a long time. He stopped the ball with his chest and directly smashed the ball in a different direction, easily passing Ricardo Rodriguez who was trying to grab him.

After passing Rodriguez, Callejon, who had no one in front of him, continued to advance forward and sent a precise diagonal pass from the edge of the penalty area.

Higuain used his deft movement without the ball to get rid of Naldo's close defense. Before Naldo could return to defend and block the shooting angle, Higuain half-turned and kicked the goal when he touched the ball!

The football crossed a dazzling white line, flew into the upper right corner of the goal with an elusive trajectory, and flew into the goal close to the inside of the near post!

Naples leads Wolfsburg 1:0 away from home!

"GOAL!!!! After the confrontation in the first half, Naples, who was better on the field, took the lead in knocking on the door of Wolfsburg through wonderful cooperation in the midfield and frontcourt!"

Matthäus staged a passionate roar in the studio.

Looking at Napoli's performance on the field, he was confident that he would definitely be the winner of the bet this time.

The Wolfsburg fans at the Volkswagen Arena began to become worried. This is the first time in recent months that they have seen the home team in such a mess.

Is this the limit of Wolfsburg's Europa League journey? Many fans have fallen into a pessimistic state.

Seeing the Wolfsburg players falling into a state of anxiety on the field and about to counterattack immediately, Dieter Heijing secretly cried out.

He immediately gave instructions for calm defense on the sidelines. It was about to be halftime. He did not want the team to lose the ball again because of the chaos on the court.

He knew very well that if Wolfsburg conceded two goals in a row near the end of the first half, Wolfsburg, which had been completely demoralized, would really have no chance in this game.

The previous deadlock was because Gustav pressed forward and made a mistake in passing the ball into the frontcourt, thus breaking the balance on the field.

Naples is not only mature and experienced, but Benitez can't find a way to directly crush Wolfsburg's defense.

But in terms of details and timing, Naples is indeed better at seizing opportunities than Wolfsburg.

Once a mistake occurs, the midfielder will counterattack quickly, and they have a forward with superb shooting skills.

Naples can take the blitz to its extreme and directly threaten Wolfsburg's goal.

Under the instructions of the head coach, the more rigorous Wolfsburg did not make any mistakes in the last few minutes of the first half.

At the end of the first half, the Wolfsburg generals who returned to the locker room looked depressed.

Head coach Dieter Heijing proactively admitted that his tactics were seen through by Benitez.

They wanted to counterattack Naples, but instead Naples counterattacked them.

But the score was already behind, and the opponent still got a valuable away goal.

Wolfsburg must make tactical changes in the second half.

Dieter Heijing hopes that his disciples will be more active in the second half and must take the initiative to launch a strong attack.

Although they only lost one goal, Dieter Heijing knew that if they could not equalize the score at home, they would definitely not be able to take advantage of Benitez when they went away.

If Wolfsburg does not want to be eliminated, they must give it a try in the second half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The fans at the scene clearly felt that Wolfsburg was playing more aggressively.

Wolfsburg's offensive and defensive transitions began to become more concise, but they still couldn't break through Naples' airtight defense.

Zhao Jinge and Perisic began to retreat from their original positions, assisting De Bruyne to form a series with more midfield and backfield teammates, mobilizing the framework of the overall offensive.

Their offense began to become more proactive and layered, but it was not a blind attack across the board.

In the 51st minute of the game, when Zhao Jinge knocked the ball back to Arnold on the right side of the frontcourt, Wolfsburg began to shift the attack from left to right.

When De Bruyne followed up from the center, he received Arnold's return pass and directly transferred the ball to the left side of the court.

Rodriguez saw the opportunity and quickly stepped in and sent a high-quality cross.

Dost wanted to fight for the ball, but Naples center back Albiol headed the ball first to clear the ball.

After Perisic grabbed the second ball in the frontcourt, he quickly handed the ball to Zhao Jinge, who had already run into the Naples penalty area.

Naples defensive midfielder Inler rushed to cover up the defense. After Zhao Jinge stopped the ball, he made a fake shot and made Inler miss.

After Zhao Jinge turned around to protect the ball, he cut across the penalty area. Dost took away Naples center back Britos, opening up a shooting angle for Zhao Jinge.

Zhao Jinge seized the opportunity and volleyed directly into the near corner of the goal. The football flew straight to the goal.

Naples goalkeeper Andujar flew to save, but his outstretched palm failed to touch the football.

Under the gaze of everyone, the football hit the inside of the nearest goalpost and bounced into the goal.

"GOAL!!!! Zhao saved Wolfsburg once again! They finally tore apart Naples' defense! Now the suspense of this game is back!"

After seeing Zhao Jinge's goal, Ballack's voice began to get louder and he directly wanted to take the lead in the commentary.

But Ballack, who became louder, and the Wolfsburg fans who started cheering at the scene were not happy for long.

Just five minutes later, as Wolfsburg's offensive launched again, Arnold found De Bruyne in the middle of the penalty area to connect.

While observing with the ball, De Bruyne avoided the pressure of Naples' double midfielders, and then knocked the ball diagonally back to Vierinha who came up with an assist.

Just when Vierinha took the ball and went straight to Naples' bottom line, Naples full-back Gulam blocked the angle in the interior defense.

Vierinha's cross was directly blocked by Gulam with a high leg, and then hit the center of the field directly.

David Lopez, who came back to defend, controlled the pop-up football first and passed it directly to Callejon, who had already started.

Callejon started from the wing in his own half, quickly advanced more than 50 meters and then entered Wolfsburg's penalty area.

Vierinha was not in the defensive zone, Gustave stepped in to resist Callejon, who passed the ball diagonally to the center of the penalty area.

After Higuain stopped the ball, he was pressed by Arnold who was returning to defend. He turned around and rushed towards the right side of the penalty area.

Naldo turned back to defend and stood in front of him again.

Higuain realized that the shooting angle had been blocked, and decisively knocked the ball back to the center of the penalty area.

Naldo immediately ran forward, and Hamsik rushed forward. He was the first to receive Higuain's pass.

Hamsik used a Marseille spin to avoid Naldo's attack, stopped the football on the penalty area line and shot directly.

The football shot through Wolfsburg's goal like a rainbow. Naples beat Wolfsburg 2-1 away from home!

Naples took the lead again. With both sides attacking with all their strength, neither side's defenses could prevent the other side's impact.

But this kind of confrontation obviously gives Naples an advantage.

After all, all their goals are away goals, and they still have a lead. This kind of attack is exactly what they want, and it can fully take advantage of their lineup.

As long as Wolfsburg doesn't score consecutive goals and takes the lead, Naples will have a firm chance to advance.

After finally equalizing the score, he immediately conceded the ball again, and both goals were counterattacked by his opponent during his own attack.

This made Wolfsburg's players feel that their offensive rhythm was completely suppressed by the opponent.

Dieter Heijing on the sidelines has no choice. Since the bayonet has seen red, let's fight to the end.

Just remove Gustav and replace him with Schürrle to play Zhao Jinge's position.

Zhao Jinge moved forward to the front line and lurked behind Dost. As a shadow forward, he could press forward into the penalty area at any time and act as a center forward.

Having already reached the quarterfinals, Dieter Heijing does not want to give up hope of the Europa League.

He knows that if the Europa League is easily eliminated like this, Wolfsburg, whose morale has been affected, will probably lose to Bayern Munich in the league and German Cup competition.

Now Bayern Munich is tightly pressing behind Wolfsburg, which makes Wolfsburg fully understand the kind of pressure they brought to Bayern when they were pressing behind Bayern.

Now it is a three-tier championship situation. In addition to the good situation of the German Cup, if one of the other two threads collapses, the other one will probably not be guaranteed.

After replacing Schuerle, Wolfsburg no longer has a full-time defensive midfielder on the field. Dieter Heijing hopes that the offensive players on the field will bring him a surprise.

As they have shown over the past few months, Wolfsburg never give up!

In the 62nd minute of the game, Zhao Jinge hit the wall with Perisic on the right side of the frontcourt and rushed along the wing toward Naples' bottom line.

Facing Naples full-back Gulam, Zhao Jinge moved the ball on the spot and sunk his shoulders, causing Gulam to give up his focus in a hurry!

In Gulam's view, if Zhao Jinge turns to the wing, he will easily end up in a dead end, and David Lopez is about to attack him.

But Zhao Jinge just faked and then changed direction and continued to break through to the bottom line.

After reaching the bottom line, he immediately cut horizontally into the penalty area and faced Naples central defender Albiol.

Zhao Jinge did not hesitate to rely on his amazing explosive power and excellent physical confrontation ability to carry Albiol towards the goal.
