Coaching career started as a college team coach

2-0!!!

This counterattack was a very typical counterattack. The attack started by cutting off the opponent's possession of the ball in the backcourt. Then, they passed the ball to a dangerous position through continuous passes.

At this time, the wingers on both sides with breakthrough ability can further send the ball to the dangerous area and provide assists to the players in the middle.

This set of tactical play has been formed and has been dubbed the "Wolves-style counterattack" in one game after another. And the goal just now is a typical "Wolves-style counterattack".

The ability of the wingers on both sides is a necessary factor for the Wolves-style counterattack to be successful. Whether it is Bowen or Almiron, they are all-round players with speed and balance, who can cut inside, go to the bottom, pass and shoot.

Although the left winger in this game is Joe Mason, his strength is slightly inferior to Almiron, but his speed is not slow.

Some people say that the Wolves-style counterattack can be a big hit in the Championship League, mainly relying on fast speed. Without complicated ball control and trivial passes back and forth, the football reached the front court in four or five passes between two or three people.

But Wei Le actually does not completely agree with this.

"If they think that our victory depends only on 'speed', then they are very wrong." Wei Le said at a tactical meeting, "In fact, we are not fast enough. If we really want to pursue speed, we can just make a long pass forward and let the guys in front chase it."

"On the contrary, we rely on not making mistakes!"

The various passing and cutting trainings arranged by Wei Le in training have played a role, and now the players have a very high level of tacit understanding. Passing cooperation has been integrated into various ball training programs of the Wolves. Wei Le will even arrange small games that only allow two touches to train everyone's accurate passing.

It's not that no team has learned their counterattack from the Wolves, but their results are generally not good, and they basically fall at this step. If the offensive speed is increased, in a short period of thinking time, players who don't have much tacit understanding with each other may make mistakes.

In Wolves, it can be said that the Wolves counterattack is very fast. This is not because Wolves intentionally increase the speed of counterattack, but it is formed naturally after Wolves make fewer mistakes.

In Wolves' games, everyone plays very freely, precisely because everyone knows how to kick the ball and how their teammates may run.

But it is worth mentioning that the goal conversion efficiency of Wolves' fast offensive is not high enough. Various minor errors in passing still exist. Maybe a script should pass the ball in advance, but pass the ball behind, which will delay the attack time and even lead to the change of ball possession, which will ruin a quick counterattack.

At present, Wei Le has no good way to change this situation, but fortunately, counterattack is not the only weapon that Wolves can rely on.

Brighton, who lost two goals, made subtle adjustments to their tactical play, mainly focusing on the position of right winger Knocket, who was restricted to a relatively tight position.

Connockaert no longer held the wing, but retreated inwards, no longer competing with the strong Godfrey, and at the same time let the left winger Mahi insert more from the ribs and play more wide-range transfers.

It must be said that Hughton's adjustment was wise.

After confirming with Wei Le, Godfrey no longer followed Connockaert, but stood in his position. So Connockaert got free space to move again. And in the large space on the other side, Mahi could also play freely.

A few minutes later, to be exact, it was the 20th minute, they returned the favor to Wolves. This time it was the right midfielder Stephens who passed the ball long to Mahi on the left. Mahi passed Doherty and then passed the ball diagonally in front of the goal, and forward Hamid poked the ball into the goal before Ruben Dias cleared it.

2-1! Brighton scored a goal back.

"It doesn't matter." Wei Le was very calm, and he also made adjustments accordingly. Since Connockate chose to retreat to avoid the front, the same routine against Connockate could be used again on Mashi on the left.

Connockate is the kind of winger who grabs points. In fact, the farther he is from the goal, the less threat he can bring to Wolves. Therefore, Hughton's new arrangement for Connockate is actually weakening his own strength.

The score of 2-1 lasted until the 34th minute, and Wolves got a corner kick.

De Paul took a corner kick, and Ruben Dias stood at the back point. He didn't even need to jump. He shook his head lightly, and the football flew towards the goal with a bang! Stockdale touched the ball, but failed to completely change the flight path of the ball, and the football finally flew into the goal!

3-1!

Brighton just wanted to equalize the score in one go, Wolves slapped Brighton in the face - since you resisted, I won't be polite.

Now Brighton's fighting spirit was extinguished again. With Brighton players' repeated shots outside the penalty area, the first half of the game entered the injury time period.

And until the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the score did not change again. The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 3-1 and a difference of two goals.

Neither side made any personnel adjustments.

In the 55th minute, after 10 minutes in the second half, Knocket, who had been silent for a long time, made a long shot in front of the Wolves' penalty area. Martinez reacted quickly and rushed the ball to another direction first.

But unexpectedly, the ball was not far away, so in Coady's horrified eyes, Ma Xi appeared in the penalty area at some point and almost pushed the ball towards the empty goal.

Martinez's second reaction was not slow either. He stood up immediately and then made a desperate attempt to save the ball, but Mashi's shot was still one step faster and the ball flew into the goal first.

3-2!

This ball should not be blamed on Martinez's unreasonable save. After all, facing Knocket's long shot, Martinez was right to save the ball as far as possible when he could not guarantee to hold the ball directly in his arms.

It can only be said that Martinez did not hit the ball far enough. When the ball landed, it was on the other side of the penalty area, where there was Mashi, but no Wolves defender!

The score of 3-2 is a dangerous score, and both sides want to rewrite the score further. Wolves look forward to expanding their lead, while Brighton looks at the score difference of only one goal and wants to equalize the score.

In the 65th minute, Wolves completed the substitution, changing two people in a row. First, Edwards was replaced by Haaland, who stood in the front line in the frontcourt, while Jota retreated relatively and assumed the responsibility of the front midfielder.

Then Bowen was asked to switch to the left winger, and Van de Beek replaced Joe Mason, who could take on the right winger position.

Therefore, Wolves now formed a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Haaland in the front, Bowen on the left, Van de Beek on the right, Jota in the front midfielder, and De Paul and Rodri in the back midfielder.
