Coaching career started as a college team coach

"Ah?"

"Ah??"

"It went in right away?"

The fans of the home team at Old Trafford were in an uproar.

"Damn it, what on earth is Phil Jones doing?"

"Rather, what on earth is Rojo doing?"

"How on earth did he do it!"

The stadium broadcast reluctantly announced the goal. Several Manchester United players wanted to protest around the referee, but they got a negative answer.

In this ball, when Bowen passed the ball, Jota was behind Bowen. Although Bowen is now the offensive player closest to the opponent's last defensive player, since Jota was behind Bowen at the moment of passing the ball, this ball is not considered offside.

The assistant referee also walked back to the midfield, and there was no problem with this ball.

The time came to 43 minutes, and now Wolves scored a crucial goal! ! !

The yellow that occupied half of the stands was surging again, and the fans who came from afar were jubilant, and everyone knew the significance of this goal!

Scoring this goal at the end of the first half does not simply mean that the score is now 2-1.

Rather, in terms of the total score, Wolves are now leading again! This time the total score is 2-3, Wolves are leading!

After Jota scored this goal, he ran to the sidelines, waving to Van der Beck as he ran.

"That! That's it!"

"Yes, that's it!"

Jota and Van der Beck ran side by side to the sidelines, and when they reached the sideline, they... sat down on the spot!

Van der Beck sat down with his legs stretched out, while Jota sat down cross-legged.

The two of them smiled at each other, and their hands moved in tacit understanding, making the action of pinching the handle! The fingers were still turning, simulating the action of manipulating the buttons!

"Hahaha! The two of them are playing console games together at Old Trafford now!" Martin Taylor laughed at the scene, "Their performance just now is really like bringing video games into reality!"

"I also heard that there is a lounge in the Wolves' training base equipped with high-end gaming equipment, which is specifically for young players who are interested in playing, and Jota is obviously good at it!"

"Who said that you can't do two things at the same time? Who said that games are a scourge? If you say that, I will bring Jota out and tell him that people who love playing games can still score goals at Old Trafford! Let's see what they have to say!"

Martin Taylor teased a few words and began to recall the wonderful goal just now.

"How simple, efficient, and beautiful. From the start of the attack to the goal, there were only a few passes, but the Wolves' multiple offensive players had already formed a siege on Manchester United!"

"Haaland played an important role in distraction. He led three people away by himself! And Rodri played steadily as always, and he sent a wonderful pass. Jota's final treatment was even more clever. He found an alternative angle by himself in a range where it was absolutely impossible to shoot at an angle!"

Jota ran back to the court and just passed by the coaching bench.

"It's so fucking awesome!" Wei Le hugged Jota tightly in his arms.

"Are you talking about the goal I just scored?"

Wei Le raised his eyebrows, "And your celebration just now!"

The master and apprentice looked at each other tacitly, and then laughed together.

"Okay, there are still a few minutes, you did a good job, you must hold on!" The referee ran over and asked Jota to return to the court. Wei Le didn't hesitate and pushed Jota back.

Not far from Wei Le, Mourinho just sat in his seat without moving at all.

He frowned and closed his eyes.

After a long time, he sighed.

As a head coach, there is really not much he can do during the game. How much he wanted to run up and kick Jota to the ground, but unfortunately he is the head coach.

"I believe in Murphy's Law now." Mourinho said faintly.

"What? What did you say?" Faria didn't hear again.

"It's okay." Mourinho rolled his eyes at Faria unhappily.

"How to play next, sir?" Faria asked worriedly.

Mourinho sighed and just said, "There will be a way."

The last few minutes of the delay by the Wolves soon came to an end. Mourinho rushed into the player tunnel in the first second when the referee blew the whistle. He had to go back to arrange the tactical board first.

Seeing their head coach so anxious, the Manchester United players were in no mood to dawdle on the field, so they followed him in two steps at a time.

Wei Le, as usual, stood outside the player tunnel, high-fiving every player, including the substitutes, and then the last oneBack to the locker room.

In fact, in the injury time just now, Wei Le basically reviewed the process of the first half of the game in his mind, the parts that Wolves did well, and the parts that need to be improved.

"You are only 45 minutes away from victory." Wei Le's first words when he entered the locker room caused a round of applause and cheers. Although Wolves are now behind in this game, they have experienced a difficult half and maintained their advantage in the total score. It is impossible for the Wolves players not to be excited.

Manchester United's strengths and weaknesses have been almost shown in this half.

There is no need to say much about the offensive impact, but the problem is that Manchester United cannot completely maintain this offensive power. Several attacks were terminated not because of Wolves' steals, but because Manchester United handed the ball to Wolves in the end.

Pogba is like a card-dealing machine, sending long passes to all directions of the front field. With the trident of Mata, Rashford and Ibrahimovic, Manchester United's offense is obviously not lacking in firepower.

But now Manchester United has a problem, that is, they only know how to accelerate, not how to slow down. Their offense tends to get more and more anxious, and finally ends with a hasty long shot or irresponsible cross.

This requires Wolves to be patient.

At the same time, Manchester United's lack of polish in the defensive stage is also clearly revealed. These few opportunities to almost score and this goal all came from the small-scale confusion in Manchester United's defense when facing Wolves' sharp fast attack.

And whether Pogba will continue his "performance" on the defensive end in the second half in the first half determines whether Wolves have the confidence to continue attacking in the second half.

But how could Mourinho not see Pogba's problem? He will definitely make changes.

In addition, Ibrahimovic will definitely be replaced in the second half, 60 minutes or 70 minutes, but in any case, Wei Le is sure that Ibrahimovic will be replaced in advance.

So who will be next?

Wei Le tends to think that Manchester United will change its formation.

"If they change the formation in the second half, they will first withdraw Carrick and then replace him with Mkhitaryan to cross from the left. He is different from Mata, he usually sticks to the wing."

"At this time, Manchester United is 4-4-2, Mkhitaryan is on the left, Mata is on the right, and the center is a combination of Rashford and Ibrahimovic." Wei Le gestured on the tactical board, "Halfway through the second half, Lingard may be replaced by Ibrahimovic."

"No matter how they change, we just need to do our own thing." Wei Le spread his hands, "As long as we don't make mistakes, they basically can't get in."

Manchester United does have some "legacy issues" that need to be resolved, and these issues are currently opportunities that Wolves can seize.

Next to Wolves, Mourinho shook his head in the face of the panting players.

"You played well in the first half, although we lost a goal in the end." Mourinho's calm opening surprised his players. He thought they would face Mourinho's anger.

But no.

"We need to make changes, we need to attack." Mourinho looked at Carrick. Veteran Carrick certainly knew what Mourinho wanted to do. The veteran, who was approaching the end of his career, hardly appeared in the broadcast camera in this game, almost invisible.

Carrick nodded to show that he understood.

"(Henrik) Mkhitaryan, you go. Go to the left in the second half, we will play 4-4-2."

The Armenian winger nodded calmly.

Physical fitness is not his advantage, speed and technology are.
