Coaching career started as a college team coach

Chapter 87



The referee's arm pointed to the center circle, which meant that the goal was valid! Jota was still worried when he saw the football fly into the goal. After hearing the referee's whistle and looking back to confirm the referee's action, he dared to be sure that he had scored!

Scored the goal against Hull City and the Premier League team!

After scoring this goal, the Wolves players really dared to be sure of one thing, which they were eager to prove and was also questioned by many media, that is, whether the Wolves' strength was set off by the "bullying" in the Championship League. It was just because there were no strong teams in the Championship League that the Wolves looked strong?

This matter actually has a lot to say.

Every time the Wolves have to face some strong opponents in the league, there will always be media that will mention this matter. Their suspicion is also reasonable, mainly because they are not familiar with the Wolves. Because after Wei Le took office, this Wolves team has undergone tremendous changes, and the entire starting lineup is basically new.

You know, in the roster of more than 20 people, at the beginning of this season, Wei Le made a total of 15 personnel adjustments, including signings and departures, and promoted young player White, which is a total of 16 times. This must be a pioneering work for a team that has no relegation threat and can be said to have "no desire or desire".

And the players he exchanged for are unfamiliar to the media, fans and the league.

The media likes comparison, and they think comparison is the best way to prove it.

For a player, the media will compare his performance a few years ago with his current performance, and simply summarize whether the player is "rising" or "regressing"; for the team's signings, the media will compare the team's performance before the introduction of the player with its current performance, to summarize whether the player is the right person.

This comparison is very eye-catching, of course, it is also very sloppy, and more often it is not responsible at all.

But they have been tried and tested, because comparison means topics, and topics mean attention.

But this trick doesn't seem to work on Wolves.

The main reason is that these players have not even played in various leagues before. If they were not running on the field wearing Wolves jerseys, reporters would not believe that these people are really capable of playing here.

They are too unknown!

Reporters also want to compare and prove something, but they find that there is nothing to compare at all - all players coming to Wolves are actually progress in their careers, and surprisingly, these unknown players have performed very well.

Who can I ask for justice?

Some tabloids also said that Wei Le was actually blessed by his ancestors' "dreams" to have the opportunity to meet so many players. Otherwise, there is really no reason to explain why all the signings that Wei Le likes have actually proved to be successful.

So when the Wolves, this "strange army", rushed in front of everyone, the media suddenly thought - although the Wolves are strong, they have not encountered any major difficulties by the middle of this season, and they are still relatively smooth overall.

Previously, they lost first and then won against the league leader Newcastle United, and did not show the so-called "absolute competitiveness" that the media wanted to see.

Therefore, when Hull City was announced as the next opponent of Wolves, the voice of pessimism rang again. Some expert reporters guaranteed that Wolves would definitely fall here and would be beaten without any ability to fight back.

Of course, players cannot play in an information vacuum. They will certainly pay attention to the outside world's views on themselves. They also saw the outside world's pessimism about the team.

So they are eager to prove that they are capable.

The game has just started, and the mental outlook shown by the Wolves seems to be really like what the outside world said, the Wolves are really going to be held down and beaten.

But is this really the true strength of the Wolves?

It's not like that.

At least Wei Le doesn't think so.

After calming down, the Wolves, who treated the game at 100% level, gradually mastered the trend of the game. And when Jota's volley broke through Hull City's goal, the Wolves succeeded.

This young team has proved that at least they will not be beaten unilaterally, at least they have the ability to compete with Premier League level teams.

But can these young players really go one step further and successfully defeat Hull City?

The Hull City players quickly calmed down.

Losing a goal is nothing, just get it back. Everyone has played professionally, who has not scored a goal, who has not lost a goal, as the loser, Hull City players understand the crazy celebration of Wolves. But after the celebration, it's time for us to fight back.

They watched the excited Wolves players in front of them slowly walk back to their half, waving and interacting with the fans on the scene while walking, looking very excited."It's like winning the game." Mbokani, standing at the kick-off point, looked normal. He covered his mouth and smiled and said to Diomande beside him.

One in the middle and one on the side, the two of them posed a considerable threat to the Wolves' defense.

Diomande shrugged and looked up at the referee. After all the Wolves players entered the designated area, the referee Swarbrick blew the whistle to restart the game.

So Diomande knocked the ball to Mbokani, who passed it back and the game continued.

Wei Le raised his hand and looked at the watch at this time. Now the game time has just passed 40 minutes.

Hull City players obviously found the feeling of the game. Wei Le felt that they were completely let go now. That's right, now that they lost a goal, Hull City doesn't need to be timid. Mike Phelan stood up and waved his hand to launch an attack!

In the 43rd minute, a corner kick opportunity, Mbokani's header hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line, causing a cry of surprise.

"Too dangerous." Wei Le jumped up in fear.

The fourth official quickly raised a sign and announced that there would be four minutes of injury time. There were nearly seven minutes left before the end of the first half.

"We must not let them score!" Captain Coady shouted. Wei Le's meaning had just been conveyed to him, which meant that they must try their best to maintain the advantage in the first half.

The players were full of momentum, but Hull City's offensive soon rose again, this time more threatening, and they played steadily from the middle. Maguire took on the responsibility of passing the ball and passed it to Diomande who retreated to the frontcourt. Diomande passed the ball back and avoided Kevin McDonald's somewhat hasty interception.

McDonald turned his head and the ball had been passed to Huddlestone on the other side, and his position was closer to the Wolves' penalty area. Seeing that the situation was not good, Rodri stepped forward to interfere with Huddlestone to prevent him from shooting here.

But the experienced Huddlestone didn't rush to shoot, but passed the ball to the right.

When Rodri turned around, winger Snodgrass had basically no chance to receive the ball under the defense of Wolves players, so who received the ball?

Before he could react, Egyptian full-back El Muhammadi rushed from the wing and received Huddlestone's through pass!

It's broken!

Ben Godfrey was still standing in a relatively backward position to guard Snodgrass, and now El Muhammadi's insertion and Huddlestone faced Rodri alone, forming a very obvious numerical advantage.

El Muhammadi did not choose to cross the ball immediately. He passed the ball back to Huddlestone when Rodri rushed to defend. Godfrey had already rushed to assist in defense, but this had to be at the cost of temporarily keeping Snodgrass out of sight.

Huddlestone didn't seem to have any intention of threatening the goal, so Godfrey turned around -

Where is Snodgrass?

At this moment, Huddlestone passed the ball, and Snodgrass had already penetrated the ribs - there was the space between Ben Godfrey and Ruben Dias! Seeing that he had already entered the penalty area, Emiliano Martinez could not sit still.

Emiliano Martinez rushed up, his 195 cm height and his muscular body covered the sky, and Snodgrass had to say that he was really scared, because Martin was too decisive, and he had already rushed in front of him in a few seconds!

Snodgrass shot hastily, but the ball finally hit Martinez's chest and flew out, and Ruben Dias, who had just missed the man, did not dare to make another mistake, and he kicked the ball ten miles away.

The ball flew high before it landed, and the referee's whistle was heard.
