Coaching career started as a college team coach
Chapter 174
"We made too many mistakes." Coady said, standing with his neck stiff, Wei Le still didn't say anything. The awkward atmosphere lasted for nearly a minute.
Finally, Wei Le sighed and motioned Coady to sit down.
"Didn't I say that we'll just celebrate for two days and still focus on the league championship? Didn't I say that the league championship is our ultimate goal?"
The players looked at each other, they also remembered this, and they nodded one after another, as if it was indeed the case.
"But you didn't show any signs of a championship-winning team in the first half. This is the most fundamental reason for my disappointment - everyone passed the ball too casually!"
"This is just because Reading may not be able to take advantage of the opportunities we gave up to break our goal. But if it were other teams, such as Newcastle, we might have fallen behind by two or three goals now!"
"Yes, we are a strong team in the Championship; yes, we have defeated Manchester United, defeated Southampton, and won the League Cup. But are we really that strong? Can we really kill all opponents with just a casual kick?"
"If a League Cup is our end point, if we are willing to just mess around in the Championship, then our level and attitude are enough." Wei Le knocked on the tactical board, "But if we want to go further, we have further goals, and we want to go up again, then this is not enough, this is far from enough!"
At this point, the players' eyes gradually brightened up, and they have never been players willing to fall behind.
"I clearly reiterate our goal here, which is to upgrade the championship! We have no room to retreat! If someone can't keep up, I will definitely not stop and wait for him!"
After talking about the spiritual issues, Wei Le still reiterated several tactical points.
"The two sidebacks of the Reading team are closer to the side, which leads to a larger space in their ribs. When launching an attack from the middle, you can pay more attention to this point. You can pass directly to the two ribs and hit them behind." Wei Le pointed at Van der Beck and De Paul, who are the starting points for the midfield attack.
"In the second half, I need to score a goal. One goal is not enough. Two goals are qualified. If I score three goals, I will have a day off tomorrow!"
In the second half, the feeling of the Reading team was that this team seemed to be a different team from the team in the first half!
With fewer mistakes and a more oppressive style of play, Wolves regained their lost dominance.
The first goal came in the 54th minute. Bowen's high-speed insertion was captured by Van der Beck. His direct pass just bypassed the opponent's left back's pursuit, and Bowen was able to cross the penalty area.
Bowen's cross pass bypassed the opponent's left back again, and Van de Beek got the ball.
"Hey!" Jota raised his hand outside the penalty area. Van de Beek looked up and saw Jota in yellow. But in the next step, he lowered his head and focused on dribbling. He took a step towards the bottom line with the ball, and then passed the ball across the middle while the central defender who was defending did not catch up!
The poor opponent's left back was fooled by the continuous passes of the two people. He just stared at Bowen at this moment, but saw Van de Beek's cross pass in front of him find Jota in the middle!
Jota got in position and ran to the small penalty area line with a ghostly movement!
Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he chose to push the goalkeeper directly at a close distance!
Isn't this for me!
Goalkeeper Ali Habusi was delighted and reached out to receive it, but the next second!
The ball disappeared from his sight——
"Ah?" Ali Habusi made a puzzled sound, and the next moment, the exclamation of the whole stadium made him look back! The football bounced in the goal!
The football disappeared from his sight, or to be more precise, it passed between his own legs!
The ball went in!!!
1:0!
Jota ran back with the football, as if his team was still behind; the other players had no intention of celebrating, they remembered what Wei Le said during the halftime break, one ball was not enough!
They felt Wei Le's anger, and they also understood that the source of the anger was still their own incompetence. Young people often lose their goals, direction, and motivation to work hard, and Wei Lejia's fire rekindled their fighting spirit——
Now is the fighting spirit that a championship team should have!
A few minutes later, Rodri's long shot from outside the penalty area almost penetrated Reading's goal again, but the ball went over the crossbar, which scared Reading fans into a cold sweat.
"Are they taking drugs in the midfield?" complained midfielder Van den Berg and center back McShane.McShane was the one who failed to defend Van de Beek's cross, and he still didn't know when Jota appeared behind him.
"I'm afraid he was so excited..."
Head coach Stam threw the water bottle in his hand to the ground in dissatisfaction, splashing water. He was not dissatisfied with his team, but was surprised why his opponent could get back to form in a halftime break.
Stam also told the players during the halftime break that Wolves' performance was not good today, and they could use this to win a "historic" victory over Wolves, ending Wolves' winning streak.
But in the second half, Wolves gave them a realistic blow. Seeing Wei Le clapping loudly not far away and expressing encouragement to the players, Stam was a little annoyed - mainly because he really didn't know how to play the game next!
One goal was not enough, and soon, the second blow came!
In the 64th minute, when Wei Le was hesitating whether to replace Bowen, who had returned from injury and performed mediocrely, the game suddenly changed. Godfrey rushed from the left and passed the ball diagonally to Almiron.
Almiron faced multiple defenders, and no one had the confidence to break through to the end, so he chose to pass the ball horizontally to De Paul who came to receive the ball. De Paul made a mistake and passed the ball back.
The ball was very slow, which made the Reading players seem to see the hope of grabbing the ball, so their front line began to move forward visibly. This made Wei Le's eyes light up, and Stam, who was closer, changed his face.
It's bad!
Stam thought, he opened his mouth and shouted loudly-
"Back..."
The next second, Rodri's long pass came!
Rodri's long pass in front of the center circle passed the Reading team's forward defense line and found Jota who came out from the middle of the defense line! Jota took the ball and turned around and rushed into the penalty area!
"Stop him!" Ali Habusi watched Jota getting closer and closer to him, and there was nothing he could do! He made up his mind and rushed up to Jota and shoveled him. Even if he couldn't shovel the ball, he had to stay! ! !
The next second, a scream sounded, and Jota flew directly from in front of Ali Habusi and fell to the ground! The referee's whistle sounded immediately, it was a penalty kick!!!
Ali Habusi was lying on the ground, he just looked straight at the sky, some people ran past him, to care about Jota's situation, some were arguing with the referee.
The referee said nothing, just stared at Ali Habusi lying on the ground, the red card in his hand had already explained his attitude. Ali Habusi shook his head and sat up, he still had to face it all.
The referee saw him sitting up, raised the red card in his hand, and drove him off the field!
"Quick, quick." Stam directly pulled the substitute goalkeeper Yakla up from the seat. He was still struggling to put on the game uniform, and the players next to him helped him put on gloves.
"Damn, damn, damn..." Stam blushed, the house leaked and it rained all night, now his team is facing a penalty kick, and... there is one less player, and the one missing is the goalkeeper!
