Coaching career started as a college team coach

The match against Manchester United is in early January, which is still a long way from now, and Wei Le hopes to unify the players' thoughts first. As for how to deal with Manchester United, Wei Le still needs to focus on research, which will not be a small project.

The league has come to the 21st round, which is almost halfway.

So far, Wolves have 16 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, with a total of 50 points, ranking second in the league, while Newcastle in front is even more amazing. They have only lost one game and are temporarily ranked first with 52 points.

In the first 20 rounds, the gap between the two teams was very tight and they did not give in to each other. The seat of the league leader is not so easy to sit. Although Newcastle is always at the top of the league, Wolves are always eyeing it.

Wolves are not very worried about Brighton, who is in third place. The Seagulls have only 42 points now, which is quite different from the two teams in front, and basically do not pose any threat.

The league has just passed the halfway point, and anything can happen next. Although there has been no direct dialogue recently, both Newcastle United and Wolves hope to win these games and enter the second half of the league as the league leader.

On December 14, Cardiff welcomed the challenge of Wolves.

In December, the weather has become colder, and a day or two before this game, Cardiff had just had a heavy snowfall. People know that it is cold before frost and cold after snow. When they walked into the field, the Wolves players couldn't help shivering.

It's so damn cold!

Even if they changed into long-sleeved jerseys and linings, it was still very cold.

After all, the jerseys are thin and can be penetrated by the winter wind.

Jota and Rodri, two young people who grew up in warmer areas, have never been stimulated by this. In this weather, they should stay at home and play games.

The cold weather made the players not very interested. There were not many fans watching the game. The stadium was not large and seemed very deserted.

In this game, Wolves sent out a 4-3-3 formation.

Among them, on the basis of little change in the basic position, Jack Pearce is the single defensive midfielder, Rodrigo is forward, and Edwards wears the captain's armband and plays the No. 10 position, the most forward of the three midfielders.

At the center position, after the center forward Ziro confirmed that he would be absent for a long time, Jota stood at the center position.

At the left winger position, Joao Teixeira was relatively tired, and for the sake of insurance, Wei Le took a rotation, so Jordan Graham got a hard-won starting opportunity. Bowen is still the right winger, and the young man seems to have unlimited energy.

"Good luck to you." After the pre-match handshake etiquette, Cardiff City's head coach Neil Warnock took a closer look at Wei Le.

Really young, almost the same age as my grandson.

Neil Warnock smacked his lips.

This is certainly not to scold Wei Le as his grandson.

The old coach Warnock was born in 1948. By 2016, he was almost 68 years old. According to Chinese law, he had completed the retirement procedures at this age and returned home to enjoy his old age.

Warnock already felt that he was no longer able to do it. Just like the social media that has become popular in recent years, he noticed that Wei Le and his young team's accounts have a lot of followers on major social media.

But he himself is not very proficient in using smartphones, let alone taking children who are about the same age as his grandson to engage in self-media.

But in football, he has always had his own persistence.

It has been nearly 40 years since Warnock first served as the team's head coach in 1980. No matter how the times develop, Warnock feels that football is football, and football is still the football he is familiar with.

Of course, he is not averse to the addition of new blood, but as an "old predecessor", Warnock does not mind providing some experience and lessons to Wei Le, the "young man".

"Too anxious." Warnock said when evaluating Wei Le. He felt that Wei Le's current achievements were mainly due to his "drive".

And Wei Le's football can often produce a very oppressive effect, which is achieved by his team's unremitting pressing. But at the same time, this drive is still a double-edged sword in Warnock's view.

Cardiff City has determined the basic policy of playing defense and counterattack in this game.

Although he has also watched the Wolves' games, Warnock does not think that the so-called pressing of the Wolves is really as strong as the outside media.

After coaching for so many years, what storms have you not seen? Warnock disagrees. From the Ferguson era to the present, there are really many so-called "youth storms". But there are almost no ones who can really form a storm.

But this Wei Le is indeed too young.

The young are formidable! Warnock thought so while sitting in a chair.In front of him, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the Wolves players kicked the ball first.

It can be said that Warnock's arrangement was correct, but what he didn't know was that his opponent, Wei Le, who looked younger than his grandson, gave the players instructions-

Steal one at the beginning, and then start swinging.

Jota passed the ball to the backcourt players, and then ran forward desperately. Cardiff City players rushed up to grab the ball, and Rodri passed the ball to the side. Left back Godfrey and left winger Jordan Graham passed by, and Graham returned to Godfrey's position and passed the ball back to Rodri.

Rodri turned around and wanted to make a long pass, so Cardiff City forwards Pilkington and Imus turned to Rodri again, and Imus stretched his legs to intercept Rodri's long pass.

But how could Rodri get through them?

Rodri did kick out with his right leg, but he didn't kick the ball at all. His center of gravity turned, and his right leg pushed the ball from the back of his left leg to the left!

The fans on the sidelines exclaimed, because this action has a more official name - Cruyff Turn. Cruyff Turn is not uncommon, but it is rare for a midfielder like Rodri to have such a small skill.

Rodri dribbled past two people and passed the ball back to the left.

Graham made a long pass, and the ball crossed most of the field, from the left back to the right front, and floated high in the direction of Doherty, and the Irish full-back was ready.

Doherty received the ball near the midfield line, and he first kicked the ball to the central defender Bass, who replaced Ruben Dias in this game.

Bass and Doherty have worked together for a long time, and he knew that Doherty's return pass was to open up more space.

So seeing Doherty moving forward, Bass made a long pass over the top and sent the ball to the frontcourt again. Here, Doherty was closer to the penalty area, and he took this opportunity to glance at the penalty area - there were at least three yellow figures.

He didn't know who they were, but Doherty believed that if he made a long pass at this time, one of them would definitely be able to catch the ball.

So Doherty flicked to the right and swept a curved ball into the penalty area!

The ball was passed very decisively. Neither the Cardiff City players nor the head coach Warnock, who was sitting on the bench, probably expected Doherty to pass the ball directly from such a far distance from the penalty area and so close to the sideline.

No one even came up to block him.

The ball flew high and floated into the penalty area, and the penalty area was already in a mess!

The two central defenders of Cardiff City kept a close eye on Jota. It is said that this short center forward is the top scorer of Wolves. They don't want Jota to kill here.

And Jota looked up and saw that the ball was probably not passed to him.

So Jota took advantage of the situation and moved inward, leading the central defender Equile Manga, who was focused on marking, to the side away from the landing point of the football. On the other side, stood Jordan Graham!

Edwards also got in, but he didn't touch the ball, and the ball went past him, and Jordan Graham had a chance to shoot directly without anyone interfering -

Graham volleyed the ball amid exclamations, and the ball hit the goalkeeper Amos's arm.

Amos was delighted, thinking he had saved the ball.

But Amos heard a boo, and he turned his head and saw the moment the ball bounced into the net -

The ball went in! ! ! !

One minute into the game, Wolves took the lead!

1-0!
