"Very good performance, gentlemen, congratulations, the game has been won three quarters!" Wei Le stood in the middle of the locker room and shouted to the players.

"In the pre-match meeting, I said that you will definitely face great pressure in the first half. My task for you is to hold on and end the first half with a lead or a draw."

"Now you understand the reason, right? The away pressure is really great." Wei Le smiled, "Now I finally don't have to shout loudly, you can see that my voice is a little hoarse."

Everyone laughed, because it was not just Wei Le who had a hoarse voice, everyone's voice was more or less damaged, and their ears were the same. When they returned to the closed space of the locker room, their ears felt better.

"You did a good job in the first half, but there are a few problems." Time is running out, Wei Le must pick up the important things first.

"First, we have to grab a wave at the beginning of the second half. We kick off in the second half, which is an advantage for us. It is best to form a shot before we lose the ball."

"Therefore, Jota can appear directly in the center position at the beginning of the second half. We play 4-4-2 with two forwards. In this way, the two midfielders do not need to press forward and stay in the backcourt."

"At the beginning of the second half, Trossard and Alfonso, you mainly press forward, but Kounde on the right side does not need to move inward, and Bowen's position should also be a little further back, so that we will form an overload on the left side and explode Piszczek."

While Wei Le was speaking, he wrote and drew on the tactical board to mark the new positions of the players. After saying this, Wei Le threw the tactical board aside and continued: "The second point, high-position pressing!"

At this point, everyone was refreshed.

"Attack until the 55th minute. No matter if there is any result or not, do not continue to attack. Then start to press high and return to your normal position. Move inward when necessary and retreat when necessary."

"After getting the ball, do not rush to attack quickly. Control the ball and mobilize the opponent. Patiently find space. During this period, my task for you is to control the ball as long as possible under our feet, Rodri."

Rodri nodded after hearing this. He is the one responsible for holding the ball in this lineup.

"I will make substitutions in the 65th minute. Jota and Bowen, you do not need to save energy when pressing."

Bowen and Jota nodded in unison. They knew that Wei Le would replace some players who can control the ball better.

Finally, Wei Le turned to Kounde.

"The goal lost in the first half was your problem, but it was harmless. If I give you a score, you will get 7.5 points in the first half."

After Wei Le finished speaking, Kounde, who was originally very annoyed and a little emotional, was a little surprised and a little happy. Wei Le explained, "You did a good job in passing the ball from the backcourt, helping the team to achieve a fast pace. Think more in the second half, think about how to play."

"Well, I won't make a mistake!" Kounde stood up and assured, Wei Le smiled and nodded.

Time was almost up, Wei Le knocked on the tactical board, and everyone was refreshed.

"Brothers, we have been training for a very long time to conquer Westfalen. We should not end here, and we can't end here. We have the ability to go further."

"And I firmly believe in this." Wei Le raised his hand, "So far, how many of you still have confidence?"

Without hesitation, everyone raised their hands.

"Great!" Wei Le said loudly, "Westfalen Stadium is too noisy. In the second half, you go to score a goal to quiet them down! I ask you, do you have confidence?!"

"Yes!!!"

The Wolves were the first to return to the field. They returned to the field first to conduct some physical activation training to prepare for the sprint that was about to come.

A few minutes later, they finally saw Dortmund, who had arrived late. At the end of the first half, the Dortmund players looked very relaxed.

"Everyone is here."

Jota took the ball from referee Daniel Stefanski and placed it in the center of the center circle. He signaled Jovic to get ready, then opened his arms and called out to other Wolves players.

"It all depends on the second half!!!"

He shouted in English.

Beep——

Jota passed the ball to Jovic, and the second half began!

Jovic passed the ball back to Rodri, and from a bird's-eye view, four green figures rushed towards Dortmund the first second the whistle was blown. Jota led the way, followed by Jovic, with Bowen and Trossard on both sides.

Rodri passed the ball to Kounde, who was at right back, and the latter quickly passed the ball back again. RodriFacing Reus's pressing, Derry passed the ball horizontally to Dendoncker, who continued to pass the ball to Alphonso Davies on the left.

Before receiving the ball, Alphonso Davies observed the positions of other players, so-

He passed the ball to Trossard in the frontcourt with a straight pass!

"You can charge." Before the second half, Wei Le specifically told Alphonso Davies, "But only you are allowed to charge."

Alphonso Davies is now back to his full form! He couldn't help but show Dortmund the speed of Wolverhampton!

At this time, Piszczek saw Alphonso Davies holding the ball and was a little entangled. Although he had seen Alphonso Davies's shot after a wild sprint on the left side in the video, Alphonso Davies did not break through once in this game.

He didn't even carry the ball for more than five steps.

Was this a special arrangement, or was it caused by Pulisic's interference with him?

Piszczek didn't know, but at least his head coach's inference about the opponent was that the Wolves would choose to pass the ball more as a means of controlling the game situation in this game.

Piszczek was still thinking, but Alphonso Davies was already close to him.

He saw that Alphonso Davies' body posture was pointing to the inside of the court, which meant that he was very likely to pass the ball to the middle. Otherwise, his sideline breakthrough would basically be towards the outside, or at least towards the front.

Piszczek felt that this was the best time to steal the ball!

Because Alphonso Davies seemed to be still looking for a target to pass the ball, he was probably very hesitant at this time, and hesitation was the emotion that should not appear the most! Piszczek accelerated and rushed forward, wanting to steal Alphonso Davies in one fell swoop!

But the closer he was to Alphonso Davies, Piszczek saw that Alphonso Davies seemed to turn his head and glanced at him! And it was this glance that suddenly made Piszczek's heart tighten.

This wouldn't be a trap!

Alphonso Davies in front of him pushed the ball forward with his right foot, then took a big step and moved forward!
