Coaching career started as a college team coach

"Could it be?!" Wei Le had already clenched his fist when Van der Beck split the ball, and then he saw Doherty break into the penalty area, and his sight was blocked by several Manchester City players.

He couldn't see clearly, but the next second, he saw the shaking of the net, Jota rushing out of the crowd, the linesman who didn't express anything, and the boiling Etihad!

"We scored! We are ahead!" Wei Le couldn't suppress his emotions, he jumped up excitedly and ran around in the technical area!

In the end, he was held down by Gianluca Conti and Celars, and the three of them hugged each other!

"Is this true?" Gianluca Conti couldn't believe it.

Celars patted Gianluca Conti's back heavily, "It's true!!!"

What made Wei Le happy was not a goal, nor was it that he took the lead at Manchester City's home. It was because the source of this goal was actually Otamendi's pass error in the face of pressure!

This means that the all-night work some time ago has produced results! The high pressure on Manchester City's defense really worked, causing them to make mistakes.

Wolves' offensive conversion rate has always been high. As long as they successfully create opportunities, they are very likely to turn them into a very threatening attack.

And today, it is obvious that the Wolves players are in very good shape! When counterattacking, everyone knows what they should do. They have implemented very well what the Wolves emphasize in training, that is, the order of attack!

At the right time, Alphonso Davies passed the ball, at the right time, Doherty passed the ball back to Van der Beck, and at the right time, the two receiving points in the penalty area ran to the most appropriate position.

It was also at the most appropriate time that Doherty's cross pass reached Jota.

Everything was so logical.

But Manchester City is Manchester City after all. Wolves fans may have forgotten this for a while, but the Wolves players who were playing on the court and the Wolves coaching staff on the sidelines have never forgotten it.

Around the 30th minute, Dendoncker paid the price of a yellow card to prevent David Silva from continuing to break through. Manchester City got a free kick from a relatively far position.

De Bruyne and David Silva both stood in front of the ball.

When the referee blew the whistle, David Silva passed the ball, followed by De Bruyne, who kicked the ball up and the ball flew straight to the penalty area!

In the penalty area, there were a lot of people, and it was unknown who cleared the ball first, but the ball was high but not far, and the landing point was still in the penalty area.

There was chaos again, Stones jumped up and smashed the ball to the ground, and the ball bounced up, and at this time, a fast horse came out of the crowded crowd!

Kyle Walker! He kicked the ball directly into the goal with a close-range burst.

1-1, it was tied.

The Wolves players were still somewhat disappointed. Although the goal was expected, it was still frustrating that they lost the ball in the set-piece defense. After all, they had defended all the conventional attacks that could be defended.

But immediately, Wei Le, who was standing in the technical area, told the players with body language that they didn't have to worry at all.

"No problem! You played very well! Keep it up!!!" Wei Le shouted loudly, raised his arms and gestured upward. Even if you can't hear what Wei Le is saying, you can understand what the head coach means by looking at his gestures.

"The boss is right! There is no problem with our play!" Ruben Dias applauded loudly. He wore the captain's armband in this game and naturally had to take on the captain's responsibilities. "Keep it up!"

"Good! Come on!"

"Come on!!"

The Wolves players quickly adjusted their emotions. They ran quickly to the center circle. Martinez kicked the ball to the center circle. The Wolves players were ready to kick off.

This change was keenly captured by Guardiola, who was celebrating the victory on the sidelines. He found that the Wolves players did not seem to lose their fighting spirit, but seemed to be encouraged? !

What happened?

Guardiola looked at the visiting team's coaching bench next to him and found that this newly promoted team was not ordinary.

He became interested in Wei Le, maybe they could have a good chat. If Wei Le was dismissed in the future, he could also absorb Wei Le into his coaching staff, just like Arteta, he believed that this would bring a lot of vitality to his team.

But this idea only lasted for a moment, and was stopped by Guardiola himself.

After all, the game is still going on, Wolves are still Manchester City's opponents, and Wei Le is just the opponent's head coach.

After the restart, Wolves showed surprising discipline. They completely threw the ball to the opponent, waiting for the opponent to tire out.Manchester City players passed the ball around on the perimeter.

And because the Wolves' defense was very solid, and the 173cm tall Aguero and 175cm tall Jesus were not good at heading, Manchester City couldn't even head the ball from the cross.

"I think they are missing a Haaland." Wei Le joked to Celars, "It doesn't have to be Haaland, as long as it's a high center forward, it can bring some changes to Manchester City."

"But unfortunately, they didn't." Celars shrugged.

34 minutes, 1-1.

37 minutes, 1-1.

42 minutes, 1-1.

44 minutes, the fourth official raised a sign, the injury time in the first half of this game was 2 minutes, and some fans at the Etihad Stadium had already begun to leave.

Don't get me wrong, they are not leaving the stadium, but they are going to the bathroom first to occupy a good position - waiting for the halftime break, queuing up, solving personal problems becomes a problem.

This also shows another thing, that is, many fans watching the game on the spot think that there will be no goals during this period. It's as if the Wolves didn't think about attacking at all, and Manchester City lacked effective means of breakthrough, and the two armies began to dig trenches!

The trench battle ended with the referee's whistle. The referee didn't want to add even 1 second of injury time. He blew the whistle to end the first half of the game in the first second of injury time.

The fans who went to the toilet can rest assured, at least they didn't miss any wonderful moments.

"I'm so annoyed." De Bruyne's condition today was not very good. The Wolves' disciplined defense made it difficult for him to find opportunities from the opponent's defense.

Guardiola's offense is about scheduling. His goal is to guide the opponent's defense to where he wants them to go, and then find space where they are originally.

To put it bluntly, it is a group of tigers away from the mountain.

This trick works every time. As long as Guardiola's opponents want to grab the ball, they will definitely move, and Manchester City's frontcourt players who are good at breaking through in a small area will find opportunities.

But Wolves are not like other "tigers". They sit still. No matter how Guardiola's team tempts from the outside, they just don't take the first step.

Guardiola realized one thing - a draw is actually what Wolves want!
