Coaching career started as a college team coach

"The camera is on Manchester United's Rooney, who is wearing the captain's armband in this game. He looks very serious now, which is normal, because his team has just been led by the opponent in a way that can be described as magical."

"This game is very special for Manchester United stars." Martin Taylor knows the situation of the players very well. "Rooney is about to break the record of Manchester United's top scorer, which was 249 goals scored by Sir Bobby Charlton."

"Now Rooney has scored 249 goals. He can already be on par with the team's legend, but Rooney obviously has higher aspirations. The 31-year-old Rooney believes that he is not yet at retirement age and he can do more."

"In the pre-match interview, Rooney said that this game was his best chance to break this record, but he didn't expect that the protagonist of this game has not yet been him."

Just as the commentator said, Rooney's face is grim now. He didn't expect Wolves to score a goal first. He didn't even dare to believe that Wolves "dared" to launch a fierce attack at the beginning of the game and even stole a goal.

"You can't do this." Rooney said to Mata, "You need to pass the ball to me more, I want to score."

Juan Mata nodded, "I know."

Rooney shouted loudly to keep the Manchester United players calm, and Mourinho also stood on the sidelines, hoping that his players would not be affected by the loss of the ball.

"Just play it as 0-0!" Not only Manchester United, after calming down from the initial ecstasy, Wei Le also kept suppressing the emotions of the players to prevent them from being complacent.

The game soon resumed.

And Manchester United soon proved to Wolves that Manchester United was still the same Manchester United.

Mourinho's team showed very strong resilience. While continuing the usual defensive counterattack style, Mourinho also made special arrangements for Wolves.

For example, he specifically emphasized the need to strengthen the team's ball control and use the ball to mobilize the ballless, which is equivalent to the strategy of walking the dog with a bone hanging. This is what Wei Le realized. How to crack it depends on the performance of the players on the field.

In addition, Wei Le did not expect that Manchester United did not send Fellaini, but put Herrera in the starting lineup. It seems that Manchester United still attaches great importance to the Red Double Meeting in a few days.

But in any case, Herrera is not a "soft persimmon" and cannot be underestimated. Compared with Fellaini, Herrera's height of just over 180 cm is not very outstanding, but his delicate footwork and the Spanish football style he inherited can be fully utilized.

This shows Mourinho's attitude towards this game-using the advantage of footwork to kill Wolves.

This really worked, especially when Manchester United, who has never taken the initiative to control the ball, can get up to 70% of the ball possession rate in the next ten minutes.

Data from the data analysis team is no longer needed. From the scene, Wolves have become the monkey being walked, and Manchester United seems to be playing the monkey walking link in the pre-match warm-up.

It's not that Wolves didn't steal the ball. In fact, it's not difficult to steal the ball, especially when Wolves are most proud of their ability to press. It's not difficult to steal the ball.

But how to turn the steal into a threatening attack is the main problem.

Herrera and Pogba can appear almost anywhere on the court, cooperate with the defensive players to steal the ball again, and then return to the rhythm of walking around.

Gradually, Wolves began to get anxious.

In the 36th minute, Herrera stole the ball from Jota and passed it to Pogba. Pogba used his best skill, which is a long pass, to transfer the ball from Manchester United's left backcourt to the right frontcourt.

Mata got the ball on the right, but did not choose to break through, but passed it horizontally to Rashford who retreated to respond. Rashford took a step to the right and passed the ball back. At this time, Mata's position had appeared next to Godfrey!

Godfrey was confused by the two people's 360-degree turns.

Ruben Dias lowered his center of gravity, and facing Mata's breakthrough, Mata's rhythm slowed down, like a leopard ready to attack. Suddenly, he rushed forward, forcing Ruben Dias to take a step in front of Mata, but the football had been passed from the other side of Dias to his back without knowing when!

There is --

Rooney!

Rooney received Mata's through ball and chose to shoot from outside the penalty area!

Boom!

The football made a muffled sound, and the sound did not need to be amplified by a loudspeaker to be heard by the fans farthest away from the stadium at Molineux Stadium!

"Wayne Rooney!!!" Martin·Taylor took a deep breath and shouted even louder, "GOAL!!!!!!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the football drew an almost straight path and went into the net next to Martinez's hand!

Martinez fell to the ground, and Rooney had already rushed to the sidelines!

There was an uproar!

But at this time, the referee blew the whistle, and he did not point to the center circle, but raised his right hand high! This is an offside gesture! Looking carefully, the assistant referee's flag had just been put down, and he saw clearly that the ball was indeed offside.

"Did you see it clearly!" Rooney blushed and blocked the referee Kevin Fland, "I'm clearly not offside!"

"The assistant referee saw it clearly, you were indeed offside." Kevin Fland was very calm.

Others also surrounded the referee, but the referee still insisted on his penalty.

So, the score was still 1-0, but although the goal was finally blown, this ball obviously sounded the alarm for Wolves.

In the next 10 minutes, Wolves played more conservatively, while Manchester United's offensive was like a tide, and they were eager to equalize the score before the halftime.

In the 39th minute, Rooney's long shot hit the post, and Rooney yelled in frustration. He still couldn't score a goal, and he was always a little short of breaking the record.

In the 40th minute, Mata's cross passed in front of Mkhitaryan, and Mkhitaryan almost touched the ball.

In the 42nd minute, Mkhitaryan broke into the penalty area and tried to cross the ball, but was hastily cleared by Coady, and the football almost flew into the goal. Coady breathed a sigh of relief, he almost became the sinner of his own goal!

In the 43rd minute, a corner kick was taken, and Rooney jumped high and headed the ball at close range, but was saved by Martinez with one hand!

In the 45th minute, the fourth official raised the sign for 2 minutes of stoppage time.

"Blow the whistle, blow the whistle."

Wei Le paced back and forth in the command area. These two short minutes were so painful. Mata's cross hit Godfrey and bounced out. Mata tried to cross again.

This time, his cross was too high and flew out of bounds!

The referee also took this opportunity to blow the whistle to end the first half!

With a score of 1-0, Wolves maintained their hard-earned advantage!
