Coaching career started as a college team coach

"Good luck to you."

"Thank you, you too."

After shaking hands ceremoniously, Wei Le turned around and walked towards the coaching bench on the Wolves side, while behind him, Alan Stubbs turned around and looked at his back.

Something was wrong, very wrong.

He did not see any nervousness or uneasiness from the young coach, as if he was more confident than himself. At the pre-match press conference, Alan Stubbs directly made a bold statement, saying that he would take advantage of the home court and get a good start in the league.

Wei Le's speech seemed very calm. When a reporter asked him what he thought of the bold words of Rotherham coach Alan Stubbs, Wei Le was neither angry nor excited, but just showed his signature smile.

"He has the right to speak, and our goal is very realistic."

This sentence was understood by some reporters as a surrender, but Alan Stubbs always felt that something was wrong.

Could it be that this kid has full confidence? But this is impossible, this is his debut.

With some doubts, Alan Stubbs sat back in his chair, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.

"Dear viewers, welcome to watch the first round of the Championship League, Wolves away challenge host Rotherham, the game has started now. Attacking from the right to the left of the TV screen, the team wearing yellow jerseys is Wolves, and from left to right is Rotherham."

"Rotherham got the kick-off right at the start, they can attack first. Now it's a long pass from the central defender, trying to find striker Danny Ward directly, but it seems that the tall defensive midfielder newly introduced by Wolves is a Spaniard, calling...calling..."

The commentator seemed to have not done his homework before the game, but when he lowered his head to look for information, the situation on the field suddenly changed. Rodri headed the ball to Ben Godfrey on the wing, and Godfrey looked around, dribbled the ball directly, and ran towards the bottom line!

This is what Wei Le likes about Godfrey. Defense can be practiced and awareness can be cultivated, but speed is speed, and rushing is rushing.

"Oh, oh, we see that left-back Godfrey has rushed through the midfield and encountered an obstacle. He finally started to slow down. Oh, but at this time! Beautiful cooperation! Portuguese Joao Teixeira and Godfrey completed a wonderful cooperation. Now Godfrey has directly reached the left side of the penalty area!"

Godfrey is no stranger to the cross-field play of the full-back. This is an offensive habit that Wei Le specially made him develop. Wei Le is not conservative in the use of the full-backs on both sides. On the contrary, Wei Le hopes that more people will participate in the wing attack.

"Sometimes, you can even move inwards and act as a defensive midfielder depending on the situation. Rodri will cooperate with you."

Wei Le once specially tested his tactical ideas in training sessions, including the inward full-backs that no team has played yet. This is an idea that Wei Le came up with by chance when he was arranging the tactical board chess pieces. In fact, Wei Le first proposed this tactical idea under Jacket's rule.

But Jackett was not optimistic. This tactical idea was too challenging for the positional sense of the full-backs on both sides, and the left-back of the Wolves at that time... let's not talk about it.

Back to the game, when Wei Le saw that Godfrey had already broken through to the left side of the penalty area and was about to cut inside, he had already clenched his fists. He saw an opportunity! A very big opportunity!

Under Wei Le's gaze, Godfrey shook the defender to the right to block, but his body swayed to the left, adjusted a step slightly, and then kicked the ball to the middle!

Center forward Ziro roared, making the Rotherham team's central defender feel like they were facing a great enemy.

The height of 1.89 meters made the Polish Ziro stand out between the two central defenders!

"Hold him!" someone shouted. But when he heard this, Ziro showed joy on his face. He pretended to jump, but suddenly lowered his head before the ball flew over - behind him, Jota had already arrived without knowing when.

"Ziro was ready to head the ball, but he missed it and let it pass. What a pity... No! We can see Diogo Jota - he shoots!!"

This is very simple for Jota, he has been waiting for this moment for too long - but at this moment, he is very calm, he did not choose to shoot, which is easier for the goalkeeper, he chose to push the ball!

England goalkeeper Kemp is far behind!

The ball goes in! ! ! !

Jota screamed and ran to the sidelines, and in the small stands, the Wolves fans hidden in the corner cheered! Next to them, there was a dead silence in the home team stands!

One minute into the game, Wolves took the lead away from home!

It all happened too quickly, Alan Stubbs looked at the Wolves players running to celebrate in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat!

This goal is verySimple, just a header, a long run, a wall pass, a cross, and a push shot. So damn, why didn't I defend it!

Alan Stubbs' face was livid. He had made a bold statement before the game that he would easily defeat his opponent, but the opponent scored a goal first. But he knew that the game had just started, and this counterattack had a lot of luck. He couldn't let his frustration affect the players.

"Fight back! Fight back!" Alan Stubbs yelled on the sidelines, and the Rotherham players on the field also came back to their senses. It was just a goal scored by luck, and it was easy to get it back.

Looking at the same goal, Wei Le saw different things. He was not only happy about the goal, but also that the team's running-in looked very good. In this ball, Ziro didn't seem to hit the ball, but in fact Wei Le could see that he took the initiative to lower his head.

This shows that he deliberately missed the ball.

This is the cooperation practiced in training. Ziro and Jota complement each other and cooperate tacitly.

Jota was also very happy. He was not a traditional center forward. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall and had good header and finishing abilities, but he thought that he was not the kind of player who would fight with the opponent's big and strong central defender.

He preferred to ambush his opponent with the support of a tall center forward.

And Wei Le's arrangement for him was very much in line with his expectations.

In the registered lineup, Wei Le sent out a 4-4-2 formation, and Jota and Ziro were both center forwards, arranged side by side. But at the beginning of the game, the positions of the two were not parallel, but almost vertical.

Jota appeared more at the 10th position, participating in the offensive connection. Although the attack of this ball did not bring out Jota's organizational talent, Jota successfully fulfilled his duty of scoring a goal.

Jota knew that if he stayed in Atletico Madrid, he might be forced to be arranged in the position of a traditional center forward to serve Simeone's defensive counterattack. Under Simeone's design, the responsibilities of the center forward did not match him at all - Simeone needed a "god forward" who could charge and score goals.

He is convinced that he will not get any chance to play in Atletico.

Therefore, coming to Wolves is the most correct decision he has made. There is a coach who knows how to bring out his best talents and a team atmosphere that suits him best, which makes this young Portuguese who has traveled across the ocean feel extremely lucky.

He can only repay those who love him and those he loves with his wonderful performance on the field.

"Brothers, score another one! Score another one!" On the way back to the backcourt, Jota shouted in English with a Portuguese accent under the strange eyes of Rotherham players.

"Good!"
