"Cardiff City's midfield line is relatively forward, with a 4-1-4-1 formation." Holding the starting lineup list, Celars said, "This may be a special arrangement, wanting to press us high."

"Press us high?" Wei Le laughed out loud.

"Maybe they still think we are still in a state that has not been adjusted." Celars speculated.

Wei Le nodded, "Probably so, but we have adjusted!"

Wei Le pushed open the door of the locker room, and as he walked in, the Wolves players who were still chatting casually quickly quieted down and waited for their head coach to speak.

"Wei may be bluffing, Wolves still need to grow"

A newspaper was placed on the table in the middle of the locker room, and Wei Le read the general content of the report.

"They said we were still inexperienced, that we were not yet capable of winning the championship, and that we still needed to settle down."

"After reading it over and over again, I only saw four words, 'inexperienced.'" Wei Le said, "Yes, inexperienced. Please raise your hands if you have won a championship!"

Only a few people raised their hands, including Jota, Almiron and Van der Beck.

"Please raise your hands if you have ever won the Championship!"

No one raised their hands.

"We are all newcomers in this team. From the perspective of this team, most of us have been here for less than a year, and some may have only been here for two or three months."

"From the perspective of personal career, almost all of us are in the early stages of our careers. We have just started our careers and we do lack experience."

"But what does lack of experience mean?" Wei Le's voice was very loud and echoed in the locker room. "Of course, it means that we may make mistakes. In fact, we did make mistakes. But in the end we overcame it together."

"But what else? Nothing else! Some people say that lack of experience makes it impossible to succeed. Do you think this report makes sense?"

"No!" Everyone couldn't wait to answer him. After Wei Le read the full report, the Wolves players had already ignited a fire in their hearts. They were all talented teenagers in various teams. How could they be willing to be looked down upon?

"I think so too!"

"If they think we will stop in the face of setbacks and we will just fall, then they are wrong! We will only keep moving forward!"

"There is an old saying in China, called 'A man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation', which means that after not seeing each other for a while, we can no longer look at people with the old eyes."

"And after not seeing each other for such a long time, we must now give them a taste of their own medicine! Let's see if Wolves are still the invincible Wolves!"

"Okay!"

Although the Wolves' state has fluctuated slightly in recent days, this cannot convince Wolves fans not to come to the scene to watch the game. On the contrary, Molineux Stadium was full of people and almost full.

Wolves are the only team in the English Championship to have such a high attendance rate.

In addition to the fact that football occupies an extremely important position in Wolverhampton, this is also related to the Wolves' radical and wonderful tactical play and the personal charm of the players and head coach Wei Le.

Shortly after the start, just as the old coach Neil Warnock arranged, Cardiff City players stood in a 4-1-4-1 formation, with No. 14 Sol Bamba in the midfield as the defensive midfielder, and the two central midfielders and two wingers in front were relatively parallel.

In this game, Coady's appearance in the defensive midfielder position was a little surprising.

Warnock was very surprised. After Coady was transformed into a central defender last season, he rarely played as a midfielder. It can be said that he almost never played.

But in this game, Wei Le actually sent him to play as a single defensive midfielder. Can he play?

He really can.

Compared with Rodri, Coady's passing choice in this game is obviously more "safe". Compared with Rodri's frequent long passes and through passes, Coady prefers to give the ball to Van der Beck, who is relatively forward.and De Paul.

Van de Beek's organizational ability was fully utilized in this game. Previously, he could run more without the ball and leave the organizational work to Rodri. But in this game, Rodri was not there, so the responsibility of offensive organization was given to Van de Beek.

Van de Beek has never lacked creativity.

Facing the opponent's high-position pressing, Coady and Van de Beek's continuous passing allowed Wolves to guide the ball out of the dangerous area through continuous conduction.

"How can he have so many good players? Where did they find these people!" Neil Warnock was a little surprised to see that his tactical design did not work.

Van de Beek was more inclined to pass the ball than to break through in this game.

In the 4th minute of the game, Wolves launched an offensive from the backcourt. First, the goalkeeper was not in a hurry in the passing stage. Martinez controlled the ball under his feet and slowly walked to the front of the penalty area.

His move caused the opponent's pressing, and suddenly, striker Zohore rushed over from the front. Martinez was not panicking at all. Seeing that Zohore was only three or four meters away from him, he knocked the ball horizontally to Ruben Dias who was also in the penalty area.

Ruben Dias passed the ball forward and left Zohore behind. After observing left and right, Ruben Dias first passed the ball to Coady.

Behind Coady, two defensive players came up to press, but Coady did not turn back, but passed the ball back to Ruben Dias.

The Portuguese central defender received the ball and passed it back. At this time, Coady did not stand still, but made a counter-run, bypassed a defensive player, and came to an empty space to receive the ball.

This time, he could turn around easily, facing the direction of attack, and he chose to pass it directly to De Paul.

De Paul did not stop the ball but knocked the heel of his right foot to the right, and the ball rolled to Van der Beck behind De Paul on the right!

Van de Beek faced the ball and seemed to be going to pass it to the left, attracting the two midfielders Sol Bamba and Lars who were marking him to follow him and try their best to get the ball before him.

But!

Van de Beek swung his right foot, but when he swung it down, he suddenly slowed down before hitting the ball, pulled the ball back, and pushed it to the right, turning his body and rushing to the right, just passing through the middle of the two defenders!

V-shaped pull!

This is not a particularly complicated move, but Van de Beek did it with full of beauty.
