///Sometimes I really envy Wei Le, at least he was the captain of the team before he started coaching the college team, and people listened to him. I originally took the coaching certificate with the idea of ​​making some changes, but now it seems that it is useless. ///

///I really hope to play in a place where I only need to focus on football itself. ///

///I am really tired today, please forgive me...///

The second half of the game lasted 70 minutes.

Gibbs White was substituted, and a few minutes later, he made a smart forward run and scored a goal, expanding the score to 2-0.

This was also the final score at the end of the game. Three points in hand, the mission completed, but Wolves could not rest.

Three days later, the semi-main lineup won a 1-0 victory at Apollo Limassol's home ground. Jovic scored a goal with his left foot and hit the upper corner of the goal with a volley from the edge of the penalty area.

After the game, Wolves also completely confirmed that they would qualify as the first in the group stage of the Europa League. After defeating Atalanta, Wolves actually had a firm grasp on qualifying.

In the last game, after scoring before halftime, the Apollo Limassol players, who had no hope of advancing, also gave up hope of resistance.

Lyon, who ranked second, advanced with Wolves.

As for the next opponent in the Europa League, it will take a few days after other games to draw lots, and Wolves don't want to stay in Cyprus any longer, because there will be another challenge from Liverpool in two days.

This is a direct confrontation between adjacent rankings. Klopp's Red Army has just been surpassed by Wolves in the standings. Of course, they want to defeat Wolves in this direct dialogue.

"This is a very good opportunity to prove ourselves." In the away locker room at Anfield, Wei Le stood in the center and said to the players.

"At the beginning, we were promoted to the Premier League as the first place, and many predictions made us the favorite to be relegated this season. We have slapped them in the face, and we are basically out of the relegation zone."

"Then, we encountered difficulties in the league and lost many games that we shouldn't have lost. Many people said that we were done. But in the end, we slapped them in the face again. Not only are we still moving forward, but we are also moving faster!"

"Recently, we have performed very well in the league. There are actually people who say that our tactics are not stable at all, and they only work when playing against weak teams, and they are useless when playing against strong teams?!"

"How outrageous?" Wei Le exaggeratedly opened his arms to show his astonishment.

The players were also very angry when they heard him say this, because this was not a rumor, nor was it made up by Wei Le himself.

It was real! Some players who follow social media have seen many of these outrageous remarks.

Except for Wei Le's hometown China, most other social media discussions about football have criticized Wolves' tactics, saying that they are too aggressive, okay against weak teams, but once they are pressed, they can't play the ball out of the backcourt.

Of course, many people who make these claims are fans whose home team is stunned and broken.

However, seeing these well-founded rhetoric from time to time still makes people feel uncomfortable.

Everyone resonates with this point.

They are all young people with edges and corners, who can be willing to be looked down upon by others? What's more, they are all witnesses of progress, and everyone knows how strong Wei Le's modification of the team's tactics has made the team.

But they never found a way to prove it.

"One winning streak is not enough, now, the opportunity is here!"

"Liverpool! No one will deny that they are a giant. Beat them in the way we are most familiar with!" Wei Le said loudly, he looked around, and every player who looked at him had excitement in his eyes.

"Win this game, and then tell those who don't understand football to shut up!" Wei Le raised his arms and shouted!

"We are--"

"Wolves!!!"

Standing in the entrance tunnel of Anfield Stadium, Klopp took off his baseball cap, smoothed his blond hair, and put it back on. He stood behind the players of both teams, and the starting players had already led the ball boys. He looked ahead expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The referee Craig Pawson came out of the referee's lounge, he smiled and greeted Klopp, and then squeezed to the front of the team.

Klopp responded with a smile and shook hands with Pawson, but then the smile on his face faded again.

"Hey!" Someone patted Klopp on the shoulder, which scared Klopp.

"Guten Abend!" Wei Le greeted Klopp in German. Klopp slowlyAfter coming to his senses, he saw that it was Wei Le.

"You scared me." Klopp punched Wei Le in dissatisfaction. This unique way of greeting is only suitable for young people. "I am already middle-aged. Aren't you afraid that I will die suddenly here?"

"It is also news that the head coach of Liverpool was scared to death at home." Wei Le said with a smile while covering his mouth.

Covering his mouth is to block the view of the camera. You know, there are always some media with ulterior motives who pay special attention to the mouths of coaches and players, and want to interpret every word they say.

If Wei Le said this, it would probably cause misunderstanding if it was interpreted by lip reading experts.

Klopp didn't care about these, he laughed. Wei Le always felt that Klopp had a kind of magic, and this magic was particularly reflected in his laughter.

Infected by Klopp, Wei Le also laughed.

"Welcome to Anfield." Klopp said with a smile.

"Thank you, but this is not my first time here." Wei Le joked.

Among these coaches in the Premier League, Wei Le and Klopp are more familiar. As early as last season, Wei Le had led the team to challenge Liverpool in the FA Cup away game.

But at Anfield, Wolves eventually lost.

After that game, Wei Le and Klopp got to know each other. Although they didn't have the opportunity to have a drink together after the game, the two sides added contact information.

As a head coach, the relationship with other head coaches is more like a competitor and colleague.

In most cases, the head coaches of the same league are not very familiar with each other. Although they meet at least twice a year, most of them are nodding acquaintances. There are few cases where they can really become friends.

But Wei Le and Klopp chat more because of their cheerful personalities.

They agreed on other aspects of staying away from football, that is, British food is shit. Based on this, the two foreigners who traveled across the ocean talked about many other topics.

Although Klopp and Wei Le have a generation gap due to the age difference. But Klopp is very optimistic about this rising star, and the two have always kept in touch.

Klopp gave Wei Le some advice in the League Cup against Manchester United.

Therefore, it is normal that the meeting with Klopp at Anfield is more casual than meeting with other head coaches.

However, the good personal relationship between the head coaches does not mean that the game will not be explosive. On the contrary, since it is a battle for the fourth place in the league, the intensity of this game is expected to be very strong.

"I know you want to beat me." Klopp said with a smile, "The tactics you designed are also very interesting."

"Hehe." Wei Le did not admit or deny, but just smiled.

"Then we will see the truth later." Klopp smiled and stretched out his hand, and Wei Le also shook it.

Watching the starting players step onto the court to the song "Never Walk Alone", the two head coaches did not speak again, but walked onto the court and then walked in opposite directions, which would be their battlefield.
