Coaching career started as a college team coach

Speaking of Wolves, the current situation of Wolves is actually different from what many people imagine. In the new season, Wolves are actually far from ready.

There is a big gap between the strength of Wolves' main players and rotation substitutes, just like in the left back position. Although Wei Le knows that Godfrey may have physical risks after playing so many games, no one can really replace him.

Godfrey played more than 40 games in a season and is a veritable iron man, but the question is, who can replace him? Nathan Byrne at the level of League One, or let Dominic Jorfa force to play left back?

Jorfa is Doherty's substitute. As a substitute player, he can occasionally play to hold up the situation when Doherty can't hold on, but it is even more impossible to let him completely replace Doherty.

The two players were actually the wrong candidates bought by Wolves after they were relegated a few years ago. They haven't played much in three years. They stayed last season only because there were no more suitable players in the transfer market for the time being.

Nathan Byrne has terminated his contract with Wolves. His contract has less than a year left, so he terminated the contract peacefully with Wolves in advance.

Nathan Byrne still has feelings for Wolves, so after discussing with Wolves, he agreed that Wolves do not need to pay compensation. Wigan Athletic has begun to discuss joining Nathan Byrne. This is a mid-level team in the English League One and can provide Nathan Byrne with a starting position.

Dominic Jolfa transferred to Sheffield Wednesday for 1.7 million euros.

Sheffield Wednesday, which failed to complete the upgrade last season, lacks a rotation full-back this season. Dominic Jolfa's versatile attributes of being able to play on the wing and in the middle are enough to fill the vacancy in Sheffield Wednesday's lineup.

After Wei Le's measurement, Godfrey and Doherty can continue to shine in the Premier League, but Wolves still need a left-back at least at the starting level and a rotation right-back.

Of course, although Wei Le thinks Godfrey can play as a central defender, Godfrey has always been active on the wing before, and he is still willing to play on the wing. He is happy to play any position he can play.

Wei Le can continue to arrange him on the left, but in addition to him, Wolves still need to introduce a starting level left back.

Don't forget that in the 2016/2017 season, Wolves also won the League Cup, which means they still have Europa League games to play. They will start from the qualifiers. If they go further, there will be more games.

The personnel reserve of one main player and one substitute is not enough. The two sides of the Wolves are the focus of the signings.

In the central defender position, Wolves have more options.

Ruben Dias and Coady's partnership is enough to deal with most situations. If Godfrey switches to play as a central defender, then with Bass, the reserve of four central defenders is a bit tight, but it is almost enough.

In the central defender position, Wolves will introduce another rotation starter, and 5 central defenders will be completely enough. For this position, Wei Le has set his sights on another player from Hull City - Maguire.

Wei Le did not try to buy Maguire, but last season, Hull City was unwilling to let him go, after all, they were going to play in the Premier League.

But this season, Hull City was relegated and Wolves were promoted. In this case, Harry Maguire's transfer can be put on the table for a good discussion.

Harry Maguire was born in 1993 and is now 24 years old. Last season in Hull City, Maguire played 29 games, most of which were starts, and can basically be said to be the backbone of Hull City's defense.

With an average of nearly 2 steals per game, nearly 2.5 interceptions per game, and more than 4.5 clearances per game, Maguire's frontal defense is not weak.

The 193cm big man can also play his advantage in frontal header defense. But this is not the most important factor that Wei Le likes him.

Maguire's main feature is that he can pass the ball. Although it seems that his ball selection is still unreasonable at times and there is still room for improvement, his excellent vision and overall view make Wei Le confident that he can be trained into a more comprehensive central defender.

This feature is particularly important in fast counterattacks.

Wei Le believes that next season, facing the strong firepower of various strong teams, Wolves will have to do a good job of defense first, and defensive counterattacks may be the main tactical choice for Wolves.

Imagine a scene, when the ball is transferred, most of the opponent's players are piled in our half, and our goalkeeper gets the ball.

At this time, in the offensive organization stage, if we adopt the method of short pass, it is easy to be caught by the opponent.

This does not mean that continuous short passes are unreasonable. On the contrary, this is also a way to break through high-pressure defense, but it is still difficult for Wolves to do it now.

To break through their high-pressure defense and make full use of the space in the opponent's half, Wolves need to launch a counterattack quickly. And long passes are the main means.

Wolves are not short of people who can make long passes. De Paul can make long passes, and Rodri is even more worthy of the title, but they are all midfielders. The space they have to handle the ball is correspondingly smaller than that of central defenders.

If at this time, there is a Maguire who can make long passes standing on the central defender, goalkeeper Martinez will throw the ball to him directly. After turning around, he will adjust one step and make a long pass directly to the winger, so that he can quickly pass through the crowded midfield, and the winger can continue to launch a quick counterattack.

But Coady obviously does not have such ability, at least for now.

The importance of a ball-passing central defender is self-evident, and the value of a Maguire is not only noticed by Wei Le. Now, Maguire's transfer still needs to compete with Leicester City. It is said that they have already made an offer for the player first.

"But we have to fight." Wei Le said firmly to the football director Matt Hobbs, "This is our first battle in the Premier League."

"We took Maguire, but we didn't just take Maguire. More importantly, we have to show everyone our attitude first. We are a newly promoted team, but we are not afraid!"

"We are a newly promoted team, and all teams look down on us. If we don't show our fists in the transfer market first, it will be more difficult for us next time."

"You know, Leicester City ranked 12th last season and did not qualify for the cup, while we can play in the Europa League. In theory, we are not at a disadvantage!"

"In any case, we must work hard to take him."

Matt Hobbs was also persuaded by Wei Le, so an offer from Wolves was quickly sent to Hull City.

10 million euros paid directly, and an additional 2 million euros after reaching 50 appearances.
