Coaching career started as a college team coach

After hanging up the phone, Wei Le re-examined his lineup. Ruben Dias was packing up his belongings and preparing to travel across the ocean. The team had arranged an English tutorial class for him, hoping that he could quickly learn some basic English words. Bowen had ended his vacation early and arrived in Wolverhampton in advance.

Bowen was surprised to see Wei Le.

Young, very young.

If it weren't for the introduction of the staff, he might not have recognized that the Oriental man in front of him was his head coach. With this appearance, even if he put on the Wolves uniform and pretended to be a young player sitting on the bench, perhaps no one would doubt anything.

But it was such a person who clearly and logically analyzed Bowen's own characteristics on the phone. His analysis was not complicated at all, and it was easy to understand and not boring. Bowen's imagination of Wei Le was actually a middle-aged man with not much hair. He felt that only middle-aged people in their thirties or forties could accumulate such an understanding of football.

The team captain Edwards had also ended his vacation early. Last season, he played almost all the league games, and next season, this excellent midfielder in the Championship is still in Wei Le's plan. Captain Edwards is now 30 years old. He knows that he is about to enter the late stage of his career. He hopes to do more for Wolves during this period.

Wei Le had a long talk with Edwards. Edwards is a "family member" of Wolves. He has played for Wolves for a long time and is familiar with the team and the city. Wei Le hopes that after more young new players arrive, Edwards can take the lead in taking on the work of "bringing the old to the new".

Bowen has been "claimed" by Edwards. His job is to help players integrate into the team and the city faster and help them settle down. Bowen was able to come to Wolverhampton so quickly because Edwards contacted a landlord he knew and rented Bowen a house near the training base at a very cheap price.

With the arrival of the new players, even the coaching staff worked overtime. The assistant coach Celars promoted by Wei Le mentioned above was very interested in Bowen and had drafted a training policy for him. With the support from the coaching staff, Wei Le felt relieved.

Another 30-year-old veteran of the team, Scottish midfielder Kevin McDonald "claimed" Ruben Dias. The name of McDonald is very interesting. His last name is exactly the same as the famous fast food brand "McDonald".

The signing of central defenders is basically completed. Now Coady in the Wolves lineup, the main central defender last season, the 26-year-old British Bass and the new Ruben Dias are almost able to take on the main responsibility. The right back, 24-year-old Doherty is still in the rising period of his career.

Doherty has been in the Wolves since he joined the Wolves youth training from the Bohemians Club in Ireland in 2010. During this period, he has experienced several loan periods and performed well. Last season, he has become an indispensable member of the main lineup. As a full-back, he is 182 cm tall, has a good header, and has solid basic skills.

But the left back is more limited. At present, there is no role that can be shown. However, it is not easy to find a left-back. Wei Le took a fancy to Hull City's young left-back, Andrew Robertson, a Scotsman who gradually got a chance to start in the Championship last season. However, Hull City will play in the Premier League next season. Robertson, who is already well-known, is certainly unwilling to give up the great opportunity to play in the Premier League and take a step back to play in the Championship for another year.

This is also a common regret for teams like Wolves. Most of the time, the team is short of money and has no way to buy those stronger players; but if the team has money and finally gets a chance, the players may not be good enough.

Wei Le took a fancy to Ben Godfrey of Norwich. This player came from the recommendation of the system. His advantage lies in his excellent physical fitness. In the first half of this season, Godfrey was still playing for York City, which is currently in the English League Two. After joining Norwich, which is still in the Premier League, in the winter window, he sat on the bench and did not get a chance to play.

"Can we rent first and buy later? For example, if we can be promoted to the Premier League, we can buy him out for, say, 5 million." Wei Le proposed, and football director Matt Hobble thought it was a good idea.

A month ago, Norwich had already been relegated to the Championship, and some of its players had also thought about leaving the team. In order to fill the financial deficit, Norwich agreed to Godfrey's deal. And knowing that he could play as a starter in the Championship, Godfrey was very happy to join Wolves, a young team that was determined to be promoted.

Now that the back line is almost filled, Wei Le breathed a sigh of relief.

In the goalkeeper position, the 30-year-old goalkeeper Alekmai's strength has been declining. Although the 30s is actually the peak age for goalkeepers, Alekmai, who is only at the average level of the English Championship, does not seem to be in good health.

Wei Le also used the system to scan Alekmai's physical condition and found that he had a trait that Wei Le had never seen before - "there is a hidden danger of serious illness." What is a hidden danger of serious illness? Wei Le recommended Alekmai to check, but the doctor did not find any problems.

Emiliano Martinez, who was on loan last season, played in more than a dozen games and performed well. He returned to Arsenal at the end of the loan period.

But under Wenger, Cech's main position is unshakable, and the second-ranked goalkeeper Ospina's position is also difficult to break. Young goalkeepers Szczesny and Emiliano Martinez will hardly have a chance to play. At present, Szczesny is still struggling whether to leave the team, and Martinez is already looking for a team that is interested in him on loan.

Arsenal quickly accepted the offer made by Wolves at this time.

Martinez liked his time at Wolves last season very much. Although he still needs to compete for the job, the atmosphere in the Wolves' locker room is very harmonious. He especially likes to chat with the team coach Wei Le. Emiliano Martinez needs a listener the most at this age, and Wei Le has assumed such a role.

At this time, Martin has not yet become the patron saint of Argentina in reality. After receiving the invitation in 2010, he resolutely traveled across the ocean. This shy guy who speaks English not very fluently has suffered a lot.

Martin likes to tell Wei Le his love story the most. He met his girlfriend Gama in her parents' cafe, which is not far from Arsenal's training base. Under Wei Le's disgusted gaze, Martin recalled shyly, "I didn't dare to look up at him at the time."

"You can't do this. If you like him, just chase him!" Love theorist Wei Le said. But Martin, who performed bravely on the court, blushed.

Hearing that Wei Le had taken over as head coach, Martin, who had already left the team, called Wei Le and asked him if he needed him in the new season.

"That's great, I want to play with you."

After getting a positive answer, Martin grinned.

OK, the goalkeeper is taken care of.
