Coaching career started as a college team coach

"Why do I say that Newcastle's game was nothing new? Because although they changed players, it was basically the same old story. Richie and Atsu are completely different types of players, but they took on the same breakthrough task."

"Including the fact that attacking midfielder Ayoze Perez is not good at physical confrontation, how could a strong man like Benítez not know it? But he still played a single attacking midfielder formation, and the center forward couldn't support the attacking midfielder, so the offense was so embarrassing."

"4-3-2-1?" Edwards proposed an idea, "What if there are two attacking midfielders?"

"I didn't expect you to be so retro. No one uses 4-3-2-1 anymore." Wei Le joked. He thought about it, but didn't give a direct answer. Instead, it was Rodri who asked, "In that case, will the two sides be given to the opponent?"

"That's a question." Wei Le nodded, "4-3-2-1 can be successful in Milan because their front midfielder can take care of the wing attack, and the two side backs press forward, but this also creates a safety hazard in the defensive stage."

"Yes, my idea is still unreasonable." Edwards scratched his head and still felt that it was not reasonable.

"It doesn't matter, everyone can talk about their ideas casually." Wei Le shook his head and smiled, of course he encouraged anyone to express their opinions.

Encouraged, Edwards continued to recall, "In fact, we were able to break the opponent's attack, in fact, we seized the opportunity of Newcastle United's attack, and then focused on strangling their passing line, so they couldn't pass the ball, and it was a lot of chaos."

"Another way is to defend low, narrow the space between the two lines, and make it difficult for them to handle the ball in the frontcourt. We have also used this, and we can play against strong teams with defensive counterattacks." Wei Le added.

"It looks like Sheffield Wednesday is planning to do this this time."

After hearing Edwards' summary, Wei Le looked at Edwards in surprise. Edwards has been participating in this kind of tactical discussion recently, but he was not very interested in this kind of work before.

"Tell me the truth, do you want to be a coach?" Edwards's position was next to Wei Le, so Wei Le leaned over to whisper to Edwards.

Edwards smiled embarrassedly and nodded, "After all, I'm 30 years old, and I should think about what to do after retirement."

"I don't want to leave Wolves, and it's hard for me to play in the Premier League. I may gradually turn to the direction of coaching next season. I will play for another one or two years, at most two seasons, and probably retire at Wolves."

"You shouldn't be ready to sell me this summer window, right?" Edwards asked with a smile.

"That's impossible. We don't have a tradition of selling captains." Wei Le asked with interest, "You've been dealing with football for so many years, why do you want to continue dealing with football for decades?"

"Besides football, what else can I do?" Edwards leaned back in his chair comfortably, "If there is no football, I will be at a loss."

Wei Le had an idea, he turned his head again, "I'll ask the club to help you sign up for a training class, you can study in advance."

Edwards was a little surprised.

"It takes time to pass the test. Whether you decide to retire in one or two years, you can make a seamless transition. If I am still in the Wolves at that time, you can come to work in my coaching team."

"Good fellow, are you really going to squeeze out my value? How come you have already set your sights on my retirement?" Edwards widened his eyes, "Then I am a beast? I don't even have time to rest?"

"That depends on your own will. I didn't force you." Wei Le squinted and smiled like an old fox. The pit was dug. It depends on you whether you jump in or not!

Edwards finally chose to jump in by himself, "Okay, I promise you. But the premise is that you have to be the head coach of the Wolves in two years, which is quite difficult."

"I won't bother the captain to worry about me. I will stay here for a long time!" Wei Le laughed.

"You can really stay here for a long time. To be honest, I have a hunch that you can stay here for ten years!" Edwards' tone suddenly became serious.

"Ten years..." Wei Le didn't come back to his senses for a moment. That would probably be a very long time. If he really worked as the head coach of the Wolves for ten years, where would the Wolves be by then?

Wei Le blinked and came back to his senses. Let alone ten years, the first year hasn't passed yet. Let's just look at the present!

Edwards saw that his ten-year prediction directly silenced Wei Le, and looked at the way Wei Le's brain CPU crashed.Edwards laughed and turned his head to concentrate on watching the game.

On the court, the game had been going on for nearly 30 minutes, and Newcastle United still couldn't break the deadlock. Just as Wei Le predicted, Newcastle's offensive routine was difficult to break after being broken by Wolves' division and encirclement.

In the 37th minute, Newcastle's attack ended here at Gayle, and his shot was directly stopped by the goalkeeper with his feet.

Goalkeeper Westwood looked forward and passed it to right forward Ross Wallace. The right forward seized this counterattack opportunity and advanced along the right to the backcourt of Wolves!

Newcastle United obviously didn't pay attention to his position. When the midfielders reacted, Ross Wallace had left them behind.

"Got it!" Jota couldn't help shouting, but no one paid attention to him. Everyone was closely watching the trend of the game.

The right forward passed the ball to David Jones in the middle.

Jones didn't do much, he tried his best to keep up with the pace of the attack, and then he made a very long forward pass behind the opponent's defense!

Russells was slow, and his turn was a bit clumsy, and he actually slipped and stumbled!

So the football slipped one meter in front of him! He should have been able to touch the ball, but he fell to the ground clumsily, like a felled tree!

Center forward Steven Fletcher received the ball so easily, and in the expectation of all the Wolves, he pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal! ! !

The ball went in! ! ! ! ! !

"Good ball!!!!" Jota shouted, and so did the others. In this game, they were fans of Sheffield Wednesday!

Rodri laughed, "Newcastle United really made a mistake!"

Yes, Newcastle is behind now! If the score continues at this level, by the end of the game, Wolves will have a 9-point advantage, which means that they have a chance to win the championship three rounds in advance! ! !

Steven Fletcher turned around and hugged David Jones.

Russells, who was wearing the captain's armband, was a little slow to react. Did he lose the ball? He didn't dare to look in the direction of the coach's bench. He must have been scolded again during the halftime break.

Russells sighed, looking very frustrated. Although the ball itself was not his responsibility, according to his understanding of the coach, he should say that he didn't turn around and was "not working hard".

Goalkeeper Darlow came over and patted Russells on the shoulder and said, "This is not your responsibility."

Russells forced a smile and nodded.
