Coaching career started as a college team coach

When Atlanta's starting lineup was handed to Wei Le, Wei Le smiled.

"Guessed it right?" Celars asked when he saw Wei Le's expression.

"Yeah!" Wei Le nodded heavily, excited, "Yes, all right!"

He shook the starting lineup paper in his hand at Celars, opened the door and walked into the locker room.

"None of them were wrong, we guessed all their starting lineups!" Wei Le smiled and showed the other side's starting lineup to the players, and was greeted by cheers.

"Then, as long as we follow the plan, everything will be fine." Wei Le said calmly, "I told you that the pressure we face in this game will probably not be much less than that of Manchester United."

"But I think we are no worse than anyone else!"

"Many people say that Atalanta has a good draw, because this time the team from the English League Cup champion is a newly promoted team in the English Championship. But!" Wei Le paused and waved his fist passionately, "We also fought for our place one game at a time! We deserve to go to the Europa League!"

Most of the players who appeared in this game were witnesses of the last glorious season, and they still remembered the victory that came a few months ago.

Wei Le could see the excitement in the players' eyes, and he understood that the morale of the troops could be used!

When the players were already standing on the court, Wei Le took a deep breath and forced himself to enter a calm state of competition. He picked up the starting lineup paper and took a closer look at Atalanta's situation.

There are some differences between Atalanta's starting lineup in this game and last season's lineup.

The goalkeeper is No. 1 Berisha, and the central defenders are Palomino, Masiello and Rafael Toloy. There is also a substitute player Caldara in the central defender.

In the midfield, Atalanta adopted a 3-5-2 style of play, with the two wingbacks being Castagne on the left and Hartbauer on the right. The three midfielders are Cristante, Freuler and De Jong.

The two center forwards are center forward Petagna and Alekjandro Gomez.

"This..." Gritti and Gasperini looked at each other. The Wolves lineup in front of them was really a bit old school, making them feel like they were back in the Serie A ten years ago.

4-4-2? Is this a Europa League tactic that normal people come up with?

The goalkeeper is Martin, the two central defenders are Reuben and Maguire, and there is a change in the two side defenders, that is, the main left back Tierney was replaced by the young Canadian sideback Alphonso Davies.

The two players in the midfield are all tall, namely Rodri and Dendoncker.

The two wingers are Belgian winger Trossard and right winger Almiron.

The two center forwards are Jota and Jovic.

"Maybe we will play on the wing." Gasperini said to himself. Gritti was a little worried, "Do we need to make any adjustments?"

The two had no expectations for Wolves' 4-4-2 lineup! They didn't even consider that 4-4-2 would become Wolves' style of play, and of course they didn't make a plan for it.

"Don't worry." Gasperini shook his head, "We are still the dominant side."

Atalanta did not make any changes. Although the opponent sent out a lineup that made them uneasy, Gasperini still believed that they did not need to make adjustments on the spot.

Shortly after the game started, Atalanta launched an offensive against Wolves.

However, in just the fourth minute, Wolves gave Atalanta a little shock in the Premier League.

Cristante got the ball in the midfield, and he dribbled forward, but his speed was not very fast. The forwards on both sides did not move forward very fast either, and Atalanta played more patiently.

But the exclamation of the home fans at the Italian Blue Athletic Stadium gave Cristante a fright, and the next second, Cristante flew up!

Jota's flying tackle directly knocked Cristante down from the diagonal back, and the ball flew out, and Dendoncker kicked the ball away. The referee blew the whistle to indicate offside.

But he did not show a yellow card, but only warned Jota. Jota certainly didn't take it to heart, he nodded perfunctorily and walked away.

Cristante sat up from the ground, his socks were stained with a lot of grass debris, and while he was tidying up his socks, he cast his eyes on the center forward who had just fouled him, Jota.

Jota seemed to have caught Cristante's target, turned around and looked at Cristante fearlessly, and smiled friendly.

Cristante frowned and looked away.

He was responsible for the offensive organization in this game, and holding the ball was his main task. In this game, it seems that the opponent has given him a lot of special care.

The referee of this gameIt seems that considering that Wolves come from the Premier League, which emphasizes physical confrontation, the standards for the on-field games seem to be relatively loose. The action of knocking down Cristante just now seems not even worth a yellow card.

This conveys some information to both sides.

This seems to encourage the rough defensive actions of the Wolves players. The first yellow card was not issued until the 15th minute, when it was issued to Almiron, who knocked down midfielder Froyler from the side.

Almiron didn't care about the yellow card either. He looked at the time. The first yellow card appeared in the 15th minute, and he implicitly gave a thumbs up to the bench - their goal was accomplished.

After the first yellow card appeared, the Wolves' rough style of play still did not change. And the Atlanta players inevitably had some emotions, some negative emotions.

"There's no need to be so anxious." Alekjandro Gomez, who lost the ball and was once again implicitly hit in the waist by central defender Maguire, ran back and said to Froyler who passed the ball to him.

Freuler panted, "Okay... But we have to score quickly."

"Then shoot from a long distance. Tell the others and everyone can try." Alekjandro Gomez said this and returned to his position.

In the 21st minute, Cristante received a pass from the center forward Petagna outside the penalty area and tried to shoot directly but missed the goal.

In the 23rd minute, the cross from the right wingback Hartbauer was caught by the goalkeeper Martinez. But then he made a mistake in passing the ball and passed it directly to the opponent's left wingback Castagne.

In the subsequent attack, Alekjandro Gomez couldn't get into the penalty area, so he shot from the outside and hit the target, but was easily caught by Martinez.

In the 25th minute, Freuler and Cristante completed several cooperations and then passed the ball directly to Petagna. Petagna passed the ball horizontally to Alekjandro Gomez in the penalty area.

Gomez got the best chance since the start of the game. He calmly shot the ball past the defender, but Martin punched it out.

In the subsequent corner kick, Ruben Dias and Maguire headed the ball to clear the ball out of danger.

No, it's really wrong.

Gasperini, the head coach of Atlanta, stood up from his seat, frowning, looking at the game still going on on the court, and fell into deep thought.

If he hasn't found the problem now, he can't stay in this position.
