Coaching career started as a college team coach

Chapter 69



I really underestimated them.

Wei Le sighed in his heart.

Kenny Jackett was right. Although he had been in the team for more than a year, his understanding of the players was still relatively one-sided.

Each player has his own unique characteristics. Wei Le forced them into a tactical framework that was not suitable for them at all, and then measured their abilities based on their performance in an environment they were not adapted to. This was unfair in itself.

Just like after the tactical adjustment in the first half, the connection between Edwards and Kevin McDonald seemed like a fish in water, and with their promotion, the Wolves were still able to play a very beautiful attack.

Maybe at this time, the technical characteristics shown by the Wolves were not exactly the same as those shown when they had Rodri and Jota, but as long as they could score goals and bring victory, they were good tactics.

The first half of the game ended with a one-goal advantage.

Back in the locker room, Wei Le did not hesitate to praise the players on the field. He emphasized that just one goal was not enough, and he looked forward to more goals in the second half.

But the goal did not come, but the injury came first.

Edwards fell to the ground in pain after fighting with the opponent's players in the 60th minute. He covered the muscles on the outside of his thigh and looked like he was strained.

"It is a strain, but it is not serious. I suggest a substitution."

Across the headset, the team doctor team gave a preliminary diagnosis.

Gibbs-White, who was sitting on the bench, sat up straight suddenly, and Jota beside him patted his knee. They all had unrealistic ideas.

Wei Le said before the game that White was in his plan for this game. He planned to let White play in the second half of the game.

Wei Le is good at using young people. The players all know this, just like Jota, who is the beneficiary of Wei Le's bold use of young people.

In Wei Le's view, age has never been a limiting factor.

But although White and Jota can chat together, Jota and others also know that White is only 16 years old, and Bowen is still playing in the North and South League at this age! Isn't it a bit too young?

Moreover, can Gibbs-White, who is also a front midfielder, really take on what Edwards is doing? Does Wei Le really have the courage to let him take charge at this time?

With tension and expectation, Gibbs-White saw Wei Le turn his head, glanced around the bench, and then pointed firmly at...himself!

"We see that this player is...less than 17 years old!" The commentator was shocked, "Is Wolves crazy? How dare they send such a young player to play? He has set the record for the youngest player to appear in the Championship League, 16 years old! What an incredible age!"

"Don't be nervous, I originally wanted you to play for 70 minutes. It doesn't make much difference, it's harmless." Wei Le hugged Gibbs-White to his side. In the somewhat cold October, White felt the warmth from Wei Le, and his wild thoughts in his heart drifted away a lot.

"After you go on the court, tell them what to do. What you have to do is different from Edwards. You know your advantage is to break through, so break through them." Wei Le patted White on the shoulder and encouraged with a smile, "Give them some youthful shock!"

White walked to the fourth official. Behind him, Celars had already assisted in the substitution procedure. The fourth official raised the electronic substitution card, and the No. 33 player came on the court and the No. 4 player left the court.

Edwards, who was limping, walked slowly to the front. The place where he fell was not far from the sideline, and he didn't need to spend too much effort to walk out of the sideline. But Edwards did not walk straight out of the sideline, but walked to White.

"Your chance is here, boy, come on."

Edwards patted White on the shoulder and walked back to the bench with the help of the team doctor.

White got permission to play and rushed onto the court.

The 16-year-old Gibbs-White is very smart. He knows that his body is still developing and he will definitely not be able to withstand the opponent's tall and strong defense line. Therefore, he chooses to use his speed to defeat the opponent and minimize physical contact with the opponent.

He thinks that if they can't catch up with me, then I will be invincible.

This is indeed the case. After several setbacks, Gibbs-White gradually found his own space - the ribs on both sides.

When attacking, Wei Le designed the two side defenders to be pulled horizontally, and even stand directly on the sidelines if necessary. This forced Aston Villa's two side defenders to move closer to the side, leaving space in the ribs for Gibbs-White to use.

In the 80th minute,Corner kick attack opportunity, Aston Villa players have been tortured for the whole game, and their physical strength is more or less in a state of emergency, while White, who is full of physical strength, is lying in ambush outside the penalty area.

Jack Pierce took a corner kick, but the ball was obviously kicked a little high. The goalkeeper punched the ball out of the penalty area, so the crowd of people in Aston Villa's penalty area, like sardines in a can, hurriedly dispersed and rushed to the landing point of the ball.

But Gibbs-White, who was close to the water and got the moon first, was one step faster. He rushed to the ball and stopped it.

He did not choose to take advantage of the chaos to kick, but saw Bass who was still looking for an opportunity at the far end and did not return to defense. He believed that Bass must have noticed him, so he resolutely kicked and passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

There, Bass was happy in his heart. He did not expect the young man to really pass the ball.

Although the ball was not passed very well, who can blame Bass for his height? Bass gritted his teeth, jumped high, and headed the ball toward the goal-

The crowd that had just dispersed saw the chaos in the penalty area. They were surprised to see that Bass blew the ball into the goal as if flying in the sky!

The ball went in! ! ! ! ! !

"The corner kick came out, and there was chaos in the penalty area. (Goalkeeper) Gollini punched the ball out of the penalty area. There was Gibbs White! Did the boy try to kick it? No! He was very calm!"

"He chose to pass the ball. The ball was a little high, but there, Bass was still in his position! Bass jumped up and headed the ball-the ball went in! ... Months later, this is the youngest player to provide assists in the Championship! Now, it belongs to Gibbs-White!!! "

"Wolves is such an impressive team, they are young, they are too young! 20-year-old Jota and Bowen and Rodri, 19-year-old Ruben Dias, and now, there is a 16-year-old Morgan Gibbs-White!"

"Their head coach Wei is also a young man, the youth team he leads has been invincible in the Championship, they will definitely set off a youth storm on a bigger stage!"
