Chapter 46
"Do they want to score another goal?" Rotherham players looked at each other. They didn't believe Jota's words, but they had a bad feeling in their hearts.
They kept convincing themselves that the goal just now was actually a coincidence, but what if, just in case, these young Wolves players really have the ability to score another goal?
The referee's whistle interrupted their thinking. Forward Danny Ward couldn't wait to pass the ball back, and Rotherham started to attack!
For the next period of time, the situation on the field was that Rotherham was pressing Wolves. They found that Wolves basically did not press Rotherham's defenders, and were not even willing to symbolically put pressure on them, allowing them to pass long.
Their long passes also created threats several times, but at this time, Ruben Dias and Coady were interested.
The two not only took care of all the high balls that might be passed into the penalty area, but also cooperated tacitly. Coady was behind and Reuben was in front, cooperating with Rodri to strangle Rotherham's frontcourt players.
"Damn, why is this Portuguese guy so tough?" Rotherham's right winger Fold cursed after being knocked to the ground by Ruben Dias again, but unexpectedly, the "Portuguese guy" Ruben Dias turned his head to look at him, and in Fold's surprised eyes, he ran directly to the referee.
"Sir, he discriminated against my nationality."
"Is that so?" The referee Duncan glared at him. Fold greeted Ruben Dias's immediate family in his heart, and explained repeatedly that he didn't say that at all.
In the end, the referee Duncan still didn't give Fold a yellow card.
But the scene on the field made Wei Le almost laugh out loud. This Ruben Dias is too good.
Danny Ward ran over and asked Fold: "What's the matter?"
"How can he speak English?" Fold was very aggrieved.
Danny Ward didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was also very dissatisfied with the current situation. The crosses from both sides could not hit his head at all, and the attacks launched in the middle were all snatched away by the tall Spaniard. Rotherham seemed to be pressing Wolves, but in fact they could not create any opportunities.
If you waste opportunities, you will be punished, and if you can't create opportunities, you will be beaten!
Wei Le watched Rotherham's offensive on the field slow down, and waved his hand! Since you don't attack, it's our turn for the Wolves!
Rodri received the order and quickly launched a counterattack.
This time, it was Rodri who made a long pass and found Bowen on the right. Bowen was not in a hurry to break through, but had already observed Jota who came to meet him, so he passed the ball back to Jota first.
After Jota received the ball, he turned around cleverly and threw off a defensive player, causing the whole audience to exclaim!
"The Portuguese youngster is so talented! He used his skills to make the Rotherham defenders run around. He was about to get into the penalty area. Does he have a chance to score twice?"
"Stop him!" Seeing Jota's calm shot in the first ball, the Rotherham team certainly did not dare to neglect it. The two defenders, one in front and one on the left, blocked Jota's possible shooting and breakthrough routes.
But how could Jota follow their thinking? The options left for him were not only cutting in and forcing the goal... So, he chose to pass back amid exclamations!
At the end of the ball path, the tall Spaniard had already swung his legs and set up a formation! !
In front of the top of the penalty area, it was also Rodri's shooting range. He met the ball and shot it!
Kemp's sight was blocked, and Rodri's shoes hit the football with a bang. He reacted and raised his hand in vain. But when the ball flew into the goal beside him, he lost his balance and fell to the ground -
It was as if he was surrendering to Rodri!
The ball went in!!!
This is the second goal!
Now, the Wolves, who were not favored before the game, are two goals ahead of their opponents!
"Wow, this is something we never thought would happen before the game. Let's look at the Wolves' lineup, Spanish midfielder Rodri, Portuguese striker Jota, including the central defender, also Portuguese, Ruben Dias, and Godfrey who just made an assist..."
"This new 21-year-old head coach has abilities far beyond his fame. Under his running-in, these players who we have basically never heard of have become a whole!"
"Look at the current Wolves starting lineup. Before this summer, some of these players were still playing in the youth team, and some were still playing in the lower-level league, but after a summer, they put on yellow uniforms and contributed wonderful performances for us!"
"...The referee obviously didn't want to add a second of extra time. At the moment when the injury time was over, he blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.The whistle sounded at the end of the game!"
Wei Le walked forward to greet the players who were leaving the field.
"Very good, so beautiful!" Wei Le pulled Jota in front of him and rubbed his short hair. Jota also seemed very satisfied.
"You too, so beautiful, played so well." Wei Le then high-fived Rodri, and he high-fived or hugged each player one by one, and walked back to the locker room as the last one.
"Very good, very good, everyone performed very well. In the first half of the game, we had an overall advantage. I didn't expect you to get along so quickly. It's amazing." Wei Le was generous with his praise. The players could hear that Wei Le's praise was sincere, and of course they were very happy.
"But this is not enough. According to the nature of those people, they would think that Rotherham underestimated the enemy and gave us such an opportunity."
"Therefore, in the second half, we must first face the offensive pressure of Rotherham, but at the same time, we must also play our own style. "Wei Le clenched his fists, "I'll say it straight, I'm not satisfied with the score of 2-0, I want to score more!"
"Good!"
The players are full of fighting spirit!
Next, Wei Le emphasized some tactical details that need to be paid attention to, and let the players rest freely. After becoming the head coach, Wei Le can better appreciate the preciousness of halftime. Therefore, he may have planned what to say during injury time in order to express his intentions efficiently, briefly and accurately.
Wei Le does not plan to make any major tactical adjustments. He hopes to use this main lineup for a longer time to test the limits of this lineup.
Next, Rotherham head coach Alan Stubbs is furious.
"What's going on? Being beaten like this by a group of young people!" Rotherham head coach stood in the middle of the locker room, stamping his feet in anger, "It looks like you haven't woken up from the holiday at all! This is a game, the Championship League! They are not strong at all! "
Alan Stubbs' words did not resonate much. The players playing on the field could feel the pressure from the opposing lineup. Jota's movement was ghostly, and Rodri was like a wall that he could never get past.
Even if he could cross the ball, Coady and Ruben Dias could get the ball out.
They were familiar with Coady. He was the defensive midfielder of Wolves last season. He had a mediocre performance. How did he start to kill all sides when he was arranged to the defender position? But where did Ruben Dias come from?
They knew very well that Wolves were very strong, and they could not resist.
At this time, the coach's words seemed to have the opposite effect. On the one hand, he denied the attitude of the players, and on the other hand, he denied the opponent, which made the players who played in the first half on the field disagree.
Alan Stubbs wanted to say something else, but someone had already knocked on the door to signal them to play as soon as possible.
In this way, the confused halftime break ended, and the players of the two teams walked onto the field with different moods.
