Coaching career started as a college team coach

"Neither high nor low. This is the current state of Stoke City." The commentator from China was quite polite, but in the mouth of Martin Taylor, he would directly start to criticize mercilessly, "Don't get me wrong, the high and low here are really the concept of space."

"Wanting to give up what you are good at in the past and jump out of your comfort zone, there is nothing wrong with it, it is very reasonable. But the premise is that at least the good things in your comfort zone should be preserved."

"If you jump out of your comfort zone just for the sake of jumping out of your comfort zone, without a direction for the team's development, then the team's reform will definitely fail."

"Stoke City wants to get rid of its nickname "Sky City", so it introduced players like Shaqiri and Bojan who are good at footballs, which is not a problem in itself."

"Then buy Choupo-Moting and Zouma has two excellent offensive and defensive players. There is nothing wrong with the decision to let them take over the old players. "

"But now Stoke City gives us a very embarrassing visual experience."

"The ground ball is not as strong as Wolves, and the high ball is not as strong as Wolves. The offensive and defensive ends of this game are almost separated, and there is no coordination at all."

"The backcourt organization seems to be required to pass the ball short, but encountering the defense of Wolves, the ball can't even go out. It is difficult to get opportunities in the frontcourt, and the performance is also average, which makes it even more difficult to change the current situation."

"After scoring a goal to expand the lead with the set-piece method that Stoke City used to be best at, Wolves' victory seems unstoppable."

The game has come to the last quarter. The physical fitness of some Wolves players has almost reached a bottleneck.

In the 66th minute, Wolves used up a substitution quota and replaced Tierney with Alphonso Davies.

Wolves scored a goal that completely ended the game in the 68th minute. It was Trossard's breakthrough from the wing that gave Jota an opportunity. He chose to shoot directly in the left area of ​​the center.

The angle of this shot was very good. The goalkeeper had no choice but to watch the ball slip away from his hand and into the goal.

Then around the 70th minute, Wolves used up the last two substitutions and replaced Van der Beck with De Paul. In this way, Wolves changed to 4-3-3, with Dendoncker dragging back and Rodri and De Paul standing in parallel.

Finally, Jovic was replaced to find the state of the game. Since he really didn't play many games in Benfica, he is now seriously lacking in competitive state. Wei Le decided to let Jovic find the feeling of the game first, and then consider the issue of appearance positioning.

But in the end, Wolves failed to expand their lead, perhaps because Mark Hughes saw that the situation was over and directly ordered a comprehensive defense, striving not to lose more goals.

In the end, Wolves finished their first game back in the Premier League with a score of 3-0, bringing a very exciting show at home.

Mark Hughes was obviously in no mood to stay on the field. Wei Le did not ask him to have a drink with him after the game. Mark Hughes simply shook hands with Wei Le and walked back to the player tunnel.

Stoke City players quickly disappeared from the field, leaving behind the ecstatic Wolves players.

"Turn it off, thank you." Mourinho said to assistant coach Rui Faria, and Faria turned off the projector screen. The game is over, and there is no point in watching it anymore.

Mourinho rubbed his temples, drank a sip of water, stared at the big screen that had gone out, and he seemed to still hear the cheers of Molineux Stadium.

Manchester United's first league game has not yet started, and their opening game will be against West Ham United. In the European Super Cup that ended a few days ago, Champions League champion Real Madrid defeated Manchester United without surprise.

What is worth celebrating about this game is that Manchester United's new signings Matic, Lukaku and Lindelof all got the chance to play. Lukaku, the single striker in Mourinho's 4-3-3 formation, scored a goal to equalize the score for Manchester United.

However, Isco and Casemiro scored a goal in the first and second half respectively, and the final score was fixed at Real Madrid 2-1 Manchester United.

It is obviously not a happy thing to watch the other side win the trophy in front of the old club. Mourinho hopes to play a role in the league. This season, Manchester United's lineup has basically taken shape. In the last ten days of the transfer window, Mourinho no longer expects to have successful signings.

Compared with last year, Manchester United's current lineup has actually improved in some aspects, but such minor repairs will not change Mourinho's overall structural design of the team.

There is no problem with such a lineup to win West Ham United, so the preparation process is always a bit dry.Mourinho wanted to change his mind, so he turned on the live broadcast of Wolves' game.

After watching it, Mourinho had to frown.

Compared with Wolves, West Ham United seemed to be easier to deal with.

"They are so strong." Faria said.

Mourinho closed his eyes and replied, "Yes, they are really good."

Faria was silent because he knew that Manchester United would face Wolves in the second round. For some reason, two coaches who had been in Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United are now having a headache because they will face the league's newly promoted team in the second round.

But the two did not find it strange. They had not forgotten that Wolves took away the League Cup that they almost had in their hands last season. In those two games, some commentators attributed Wolves' victory to luck, but as Manchester United's head coach, Mourinho knew that Wolves had something.

In this game, Wolves seemed to implement their mid-position pressing style in the Championship as always, that is, shrinking the midfield space to limit the performance of the opponent's midfielders. As for the opponent's possession of the ball in the backcourt, Wolves were not in a hurry to press.

It is easy to find that when the opponent's midfielder gets the ball, Wolves can easily create an advantage of grabbing one more.

Several midfielders of Stoke City lost the ball very many times. Of course, there may be factors of insufficient player ability, but seeing that the front midfielder Shaqiri even ran in front of the central defender in order to touch the ball, it can be seen how harshly Wolves restricted the opponent's midfield.

Dendoncker's performance was indeed very good. He almost completed all the one-on-one defensive tasks in this game. The disadvantage was that he was too reckless when he joined the attack several times, which made it easy for space to appear in the backcourt.

Stoke City played behind Dendoncker several times, but this situation was rare after the second half.

It's not that Dendoncker didn't join in, but Wei Le used another way to deal with it.

He actually asked Tierney, a traditional offensive full-back, to move inside the midfield! Tierney moved inside the midfield, instead of the full-backs overlapping to provide width for the attack like most teams.

This adjustment was very clever, and Tierney did not feel uncomfortable.

This can also ensure that there is always a 3-2 structure in the backcourt, maintain the advantage in the second half, and always establish a favorable ball structure to maintain the continuity from back to front.

Speaking of back to front, we have to mention Maguire. Previously in Hull City, Maguire had several opportunities to use his long pass skills, but he got more opportunities in this game.

Due to the presence of two fast wingers, Bowen and Trossard, Maguire can easily let the ball pass quickly through the midfield. His pass is very accurate and his vision is also very wide.

"Don't underestimate it." Faria concluded.
