Coaching career started as a college team coach

Chapter 81



"It's just nonsense." As soon as they returned to the locker room, the players began to complain about the adversity of the game.

Following the crowd, Wei Le walked in. As soon as he came in, everyone quieted down.

"First of all, I have protested against the controversy in the first half, and we stick to our own position." Wei Le said firmly. This is the message he conveyed to the players, that is, Wolves have never been a team that swallows anger.

"At the end of the first half, I observed that some of you began to get impatient." Wei Le pointed out. This is a fact. At the end of the first half, the players played very chaotically, just thinking about passing the ball constantly, the rhythm was ridiculously fast, and there were many mistakes.

"Whether it is now or in the future, we will face many situations that we can't solve." Wei Le said in the locker room, "and what we need to do first is to do the best we can."

Wei Le knows that these young people will definitely face more unexpected situations in the future. This game of Derby County shows the rough side of some teams in the Championship League. In the future, perhaps they will face stronger or more brutal opponents and more biased penalties.

No matter what happens, Wei Le hopes that the players will stay calm first.

After seeing the players gradually recover, Wei Le began to arrange the tactical details for the second half.

At the beginning of the second half, Wei Le replaced Joao Teixeira, who was restricted in this game, with Bowen. Bowen appeared near the middle.

The Wolves were still full of fighting spirit and they quickly organized several effective attacks.

In the 60th minute, there was a goal kick opportunity. The players from both sides crowded together to compete for headers, and the players stood very densely.

Martin kicked the ball out, and not surprisingly, Rodri won the ball and passed it back to Coady. Coady passed it directly to Kenny McDonald, who replaced Jack Pearce, and the latter passed it directly to Gibbs-White in the frontcourt.

As soon as Gibbs-White got the ball, the Derby County players surrounded him tacitly.

Still the old way, they wanted to use their physical advantage to stop Gibbs-White. But White was very smart this time and passed the ball quickly. Now it was the inward-moving full-back Doherty who received the ball on the right. He looked up and glanced at the front field, and his eyes lit up!

Doherty made a very penetrating pass, passing directly between the legs of Will Hughes in front of him, and also through the Derby County defense line that had just been robbing White and whose overall position was very chaotic!

Ziro obviously couldn't catch up with the ball, and he didn't want to chase it. But he still ran quickly in the opposite direction and led away a blindly following defensive player. And at this moment, Bowen came out from the side!

Bowen's instructions were to pay attention to whether there was space available in the ribs of the Derby County players' defense line. From the moment Gibbs-White passed the ball, he keenly discovered that the Derby County players were in a state of confusion when they were crowded together.

Therefore, he walked forward slowly, seemingly meaningless movements, and did not attract much attention from the defensive players. Instead, Doherty noticed his hidden raised right hand and made a very beautiful through pass.

Bowen was overjoyed when he saw Doherty's pass. He bypassed the stunned Will Hughes and rushed out directly from the full-back and central defender! In front of him, there was only the goalkeeper!

Bowen's characteristic is that he calmly pushed the ball into the goal after a quick charge. He obviously found his own space in this game, that is, taking advantage of the overall premise of the opponent's formation, using the huge space behind them as his sprint runway.

Now, Bowen rushed up, and no one could stop him!

The young but inexperienced left-back Max Lowe couldn't catch up with the speeding Bowen, and seeing that Bowen was about to rush into the penalty area, Pierce, who came to defend the central defender, made up his mind and directly hit the high-speed sprinting Bowen!

From Wei Le's perspective, Bowen flew up directly!

Bowen was like a kite with a broken string. He first flew up uncontrollably, then fell to the ground, and rolled twice before stopping.

"Hey!" Wei Le shouted anxiously.

The fans were excited. The controversial goal caused by the rough knockdown of White in the first half was enough to make people angry. In the second half, Pierce's foul on Bowen looked even more lethal!

"Beep--"

Wei Le didn't need to say anything about this ball, and the referee blew the whistle. He ran to the scene of the incident, one hand firmly pointed to the penalty spot, and the other hand fumbled for something in his butt pocket.

He took out the red and yellow cards and the record book, and took out a card for Pierce who was still explaining something...

Red card!!

There was no suspense. Pierce violently stopped it.There was no problem with the red card for a potential great scoring opportunity, and only then did Bowen recover. Fortunately, the grass at Molineux Stadium was of good quality and very soft, and Bowen did not get hurt when his shoulder landed on the ground.

The undisputed penalty result - red card plus penalty kick!

"You take this ball." Ziro put the penalty kick in Bowen's hands. In the team, there has been no official penalty kick order, and generally whoever wants to take it will take it.

Wei Le's requirement is that as long as the court can decide who will take the penalty kick as soon as possible, as long as everyone does not fight over this matter, Wei Le will not interfere.

Everyone hopes that Bowen will take the penalty kick he created, and Bowen did not act pretentiously. He took the ball and stood on the penalty spot.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper Carson looked at Bowen in front of the penalty spot nervously.

Bowen lowered his head and looked at the ball, and took two steps back. Then, after the referee blew the whistle, Bowen took two steps to the side, took two steps to run up, and then stepped forward and kicked the football!

The football was kicked to the lower left corner of the goal, but Carson did not react at all, but stood in the middle of the goal without moving!

Saving the goal kick was not Carson's strong point, and Bowen's kick was too accurate and of very high quality. Therefore, Carson watched the Wolves' equalizing goal! ! !

It turned out that this goal was just the beginning, not the end.

Gibbs-White, who was limited in his performance throughout the game, was still not replaced. He was thinking.

Wei Le had two substitutions, but he did not replace him. There must be Wei Le's intention. At the end of the halftime break, Wei Le pulled White.

"This game is also a training ground. In addition to protecting yourself, think about how you should play this kind of game better."

White took the order and left. After the score was tied at 1-1, he could see the impatience in his opponent's eyes. He thought this was his chance. White's main advantage now is still the ability to break through, and he must be fast.

So when Bowen and other players celebrated the goal and walked back to their own half to wait for the kick-off, White pulled Bowen and Doherty aside.

"I want to score another goal." Morgan Gibbs-White got straight to the point.

"Okay!" Doherty seemed very happy. As a product of the Wolves youth training, Doherty liked White's unyielding spirit very much. "How can we help you?"

"After the opening, they will launch a fierce attack. If Doherty can grab the ball, try to play more on Bowen's side. Bowen will definitely be the focus of attention, so Bowen and I will switch positions more, and I will break through them on the right."

White wanted to use Bowen as a target to give himself space to break through.

Bowen heard this idea, thought about it, and nodded.

"I think there is a chance."

"Okay." White and the two of them shook hands, and then the three young men ran in different directions.

Wei Le watched the tactical meeting of the three. He thought it was very interesting. He didn't ask what they were talking about, nor did he make any adjustments. He felt that this was the best time for White to improve.

So, what exactly are they going to do?
