It is crazy with football coaches. They live for the sport, prepare your team for days on a game before they sift tons of videos of the opponent. And if the referee whistles for the game, they can then enjoy? “No,” said Pep Guardiola, coach of FC Bayern and star of his profession in Germany, “until after the game.”
he was mentally to Enjoy too busy and focused. But this pressure before knockout play, the feel and may he have particularly. “The game against Wolfsburg is a knock-out game. It is a final, one of our most important games before the winter break. And a final you have to live like a final,” said the Spaniard.
Tuesday (20.30 clock, ARD, Sky and livescore in welt.de) occur Guardiola Munich in the second round of the DFB Cup to defending champion at VfL. Recently lost the German champions at the Niedersachsen twice in a row, in the Bundesliga, however, he took them apart in late September, the 1: 5 was for Wolfsburg a debacle. Manager Klaus Allofs sees his club still as slight favorites.
Many football fans are hopeful that the Bayern this evening finally lose again. National is not that happened long, and whether the Munich dominance in the league long after many tension in the cup. In the top match it will depend mainly on three issues.
Ensures Lewandowski presence of panic?
Five goals in nine minutes – show “that was madness,” the star striker of Bayern says of his historic achievement last league match. The Pole is fit, and so it is in Wolfsburg so again a no-brainer. Or? Guardiola thinks of such conclusions nothing: “That’s over, it’s a new game, a completely different game, we know how difficult it is…”
Allofs admits that the issue of five-goal Lewandowski still be present in Wolfsburg. His team but suffered no Lewandowski trauma, and no complaint about sleepless nights. On the contrary: The VfL players knew after the five goals scored in their last encounter to date, what they need to do better on Tuesday night in the duels with the star striker. The Norddeutsche last won three times in a row, and coach Dieter Hecking says:… “We pay attention to us and need a confident look, we have repeatedly proven that we can compete, since there are no worlds between clubs, if we apply our skills can it be an open game. “
Lewandowski leads with 13 goals in ten games, the top scorer of the Bundesliga and says:” Wolfsburg has a super team and is currently in a good mood, it will not be easy “
Draxler If the requirements of the de Bruyne role justice
Julian Draxler has with Wolfsburg big plans: He wants develop, provide with VfL nationally and internationally for Furore and defend his place in the German national team. Such pride stint sounds like a hefty load. In summer the 21-year-old has moved from FC Schalke 04 to the Lower Saxony. Fled, some say. The offensive star is 36 million euro transfer fee the most expensive purchase in the Wolfsburg club history. From him all expect it replaces migrated to Manchester City Kevin De Bruyne.
Draxler missing in VfL jersey not yet a nationwide-admired sense of achievement. One Cup victory over FC Bayern would be such – and would scare away the last doubts about whether the former Schalke has grown the pressure. “Julian is still on the path of finding consistency over 90 minutes -. That’s the point,” said Hecking. He calls Draxler still a talent and change it regularly early from.
Draxler tries to meet the expectations as calmly as possible. “We are all quality players,” he says. Draxler know that the legacy of the past year towering De Bruyne is distributed among several players. And yet he remains standing particularly in focus.
In the games against weaker opponents in the league he believes. What De Bruyne has hinbekommen with high willingness to run, unbridled commitment and much callousness, his successor settled elegant. Draxler’s gift to dribble, and to cheat, stunned even as some established professional in the VfL team. But beyond the access legs away well and heads in scenes where there is likely to reap a headache than glory.
After initial problems it works quite well that Draxler the Wolfsburg game conduct – however, assisted by colleagues like Luiz Gustavo, Daniel Caligiuri and especially Max Kruse. Now he wants to create with his colleagues the great victory. Guardiola, however, fears Draxler obviously nowhere near as then De Bruyne. The Bayern coach says: “Draxler takes time.”
Can Dante again be as strong as at the Bayern
Under Jupp Heynckes the Brazilian was phased one of the best defenders in the league. Under Guardiola only on the way out and a reservist. This role robbed Dante the last of self-confidence. Often he was the unlucky fellow who inflicted with errors defeats or victories missed. Especially in the games he was against playing strong teams with fast attackers overwhelmed and lacked the usual sovereignty.
Since joining VfL summer Dante is again starting players , It provides on the side of his compatriot Naldo, who now has a German passport, for a remarkable defensive bulwark. In Wolfsburg, he enjoys the trust of the coach, which was not granted to him in Munich. Nobody is questioning why he plays continuously. For his internal competitor is next Timm Klose especially young man Robin Knoche, who has only just recovered from an outer ligament and had in the meantime come up against limits.
Hecking estimates Dante as mellow and internationally experienced defender. This is especially in a season advantageous in Wolfsburg again have to cope with a difficult balancing act between Bundesliga and Champions League for the first time after six years. The recent successes of Lower Saxony, who have won in the premier class of their two home games, however, cover up weaknesses Dantes.
Every now and then brings him his lack of pace in Embarrassment. Whenever the opponent fits or combines fast, running the 32-year-old in danger of losing the overview. What was no longer acceptable in Munich, is still good enough for the starting line-up in Wolfsburg. His former colleagues want Dante force about errors that seem familiar to them. “In the sporting sense,” said Bayern sporting director Matthias Sammer, “it is in this game of life and death.”
