Chapter 205: Fighting
The Bundesliga is actually an extremely polarized league.
The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak.
The Bundesliga has always been dominated by Bayern Munich. Basically, there are only a few first-tier teams competing for the championship. The teams that occasionally pop up are just phenomenal and do not have real championship competitiveness.
Wolfsburg is one of them. Although their performance this season has been stable and they have always been in the top five in the standings, to be honest, their offensive and defensive rhythm and overall strength are comparable to the top three Dortmund, Bayern Munich, and even the newly promoted Leipzig Red Bull. There are certain gaps between teams.
Fighting in the league again with the power of the Champions League, winning the championship today is unstoppable.
Wolfsburg will definitely not be a stumbling block for the Hornets.
Everyone is ready to celebrate the championship, and champagne is brought. Dortmund is bound to win this game.
"Attack, attack, attack."
There is not much to say, it has all come to this. Even though the players have just experienced a tough battle in the middle of the week and the players are already very tired, there is nothing to say in the championship battle. Everyone is full of fighting spirit.
"Go ahead, there are still 90 minutes until the summit."
Tuchel made unprecedented bold statements.
"Dot, come on."
After a group of teammates shouted slogans, Barcelona's starting lineup continued from the previous Champions League decisive game.
The moment I walked out of the tunnel, I could hear the roar of Dortmund fans.
In the team's die-hard stands, Dortmund fans pulled out a huge banner with three simple words: "Double Champion."
Like a team of kings, the Dortmund players walked into the stadium with their heads held high, and the blood in their bodies couldn't help boiling.
"Du~"
The referee blew the whistle and the game started.
No temptation, no compromise.
The defense of the championship is just around the corner. All Dortmund fans are extremely eager and full of motivation.
Take the initiative to fight and speed up the pace.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Brighton intercepted Wolfsburg's pass in the backcourt and handed the ball to Wang Po in the central midfield position.
Even before receiving the ball, Wang Po had already observed Wolfsburg's defensive position. With one pass and one pass, he easily got rid of the defense of the opposite midfielder and advanced with the ball.
This season, whether in the league or the Champions League, Wang Po has repeatedly performed brilliantly, and there is no doubt about his personal ability.
No one wants to be the background for winning the championship. In this game, Wolfsburg also tried their best to prevent Dortmund from defending the championship in front of them, especially the key defense of the opponent's core players.
Wang Po, who was dribbling the ball, came within shooting range.
Let go of the midfielder and the central defender to block Wang Po and drive him to the wing.
This side driving strategy is absolutely correct from a defensive perspective. It keeps the ball holder as far away from the penalty area as possible and uses the sidelines to reduce the ball holder's choice space.
Faced with such a driving tactic, Wang Po, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, has already understood clearly. He observed that on the opponent's right side, Aubameyang had already pulled aside to create a passing space for himself. At this time, he was reaching for the ball. There was no moment. After hesitating, he made a pass and passed the ball 30 meters across to the feet of Gabon Lightning.
Wolfsburg's defensive attention has been on the side of Wang Po, the ball holder, and the defensive focus is tilted to his left side with the ball. Both center backs are waiting for opportunities, so that the right side has already supplemented the center. The position plays the role of a central defender, with the right wing completely open.
For a shooter of Aubameyang's level, if there is no interference, it is a wasted scoring opportunity.
Stop the ball, hit the ball, shoot.
Three consecutive movements take only 2 seconds.
Dortmund took the lead without a fight, and Wang Po's magical transfer of the ball seemed to open up a god's perspective.
As an offensive midfielder, it is required to be able to pick out the ball without losing the ball under the strict watch of the opponent. This is a basic skill. More advanced players need to use the width of the field to maneuver left and right to win one-on-one for their offensive players. opportunity, which requires sufficient vision, and a stronger offensive organizer also needs to be able to instantly drive the rhythm of the offense.
Wang Po obviously possesses all of these advantages, but what is even more terrifying is that he also has super finishing ability and the ability to attack from the wing that is rare among midfielders.
1 to 0..
Dortmund took the lead in the score and took great strides towards the championship this season.
This goal also ignited all the fans at the scene. For a while, there were thunderous cheers, and many impatient fans had already begun to wave scarves and light up cold fireworks in celebration.
After changing sides and fighting again, the Dortmund players who were leading the score were even more relaxed. With Wang Po as the core, they penetrated Wolfsburg's defense with three passes and two downs.
In the 37th minute of the game, Wang Po was still organizing the ball, and his pass from left to right ignited the entire home court.
Ousmane Dembele, a wide player who has performed well this season, volleyed to make the score 2-0.
Totally high.
There was a crowd at the scene.
Leading by two goals, relaxed and happy. If there is any shortcoming, it should be that the star Wang Po only provided two assists and did not score a goal.
Fortunately, the game is not over yet, there is still time and opportunity.
The second half of the game begins.
Today's protagonist, oh, it shouldn't be said that the protagonist of this season has always been Dortmund No. 11.
How could today's game be without his performance? Two assists and two goals obviously cannot satisfy the fans' appetite and expectations.
The teammates consciously played the ball for Wang Po.
There were two good opportunities, but unfortunately, Wolfsburg's goalkeeper failed and miraculously blocked Wang Po's high-quality goal.
The Dortmund team, which has superior overall strength, firmly holds the advantage on the field.
In the 69th minute of the game, Aubameyang, who entered the penalty area after continuous breakthroughs from the wing, had a chance to shoot, but he still chose a superfluous inverted triangle pass to Wang Po.
This time, Wang Po did not waste the opportunity. He volleyed with the outside of his instep, leaving Wolfsburg's goalkeeper unable to stop it.
Come in, finally come in.
After waiting for a whole game, Wang Po finally scored after his third try.
For a time, Wang Po's name resounded throughout the West End Stadium.
Wang Po raised his hands above his head and bowed in all directions to thank the fans for their love.
Of course, the scoring performance was not over yet. Five minutes later, Wang Po had the opportunity to score twice in the game.
This time it was entirely a scoring opportunity created by him. He continuously changed the direction of the ball and passed the Wolfsburg defensive players who had blocked him for the entire game. He broke into the penalty area and scored with one step. He won the shooting space and scored from the reverse corner with a volley, helping Dortmund expand the score to 4-0.
