Coaching career started as a college team coach

Looking at the report sent by Dr. Matt Perry, Wei Le took a deep breath.

"One month? Doctor, are you sure?"

"Sure." Dr. Matt Perry didn't care about Wei Le's gaffe. He knew that Wei Le was too anxious. Usually, Wei Le was very polite to Dr. Matt Perry and the medical team.

As a team doctor, Dr. Matt Perry is not just a doctor, he is also paying attention to the team's competitive performance, so he knows how important Maguire is to the team.

"Then, can this return time be advanced?"

"It depends on the recovery situation, which depends on the player. But the "return" I said is the time to resume training."

Wei Le took a breath again. Just resuming training is definitely not enough to return to the game. The return of injured players still has to start with the simplest recovery training, and then gradually increase the amount. After confirming that the player's body is fine, the player will be allowed to return to the tactical training team.

However, long-term absence from the game will definitely lead to a decline in the player's condition, which is reflected in the game that the player's movements are unfamiliar and it seems that there are more mistakes than usual. This is the result of throwing the player directly onto the field before he is fully adapted.

Generally speaking, when a player recovers from a serious injury, he should first be put in the U21 or even U19 game to find his condition. When the game condition is almost back, the coach will be assured to put the player in the first team's starting list.

This usually takes one to two weeks.

Maguire's case is a groin strain, which is the result of a lack of warm-up during the halftime break and a sudden intense activity. The recovery time of intermediate strains is very uncertain. If optimistic, it will indeed be back in three or four weeks, but if not optimistic, even a month or two of absence is possible.

Now it is March 10, so it seems that Maguire may return in early April. By that time, if Wolves make it to the next round of the Europa League, Maguire may be able to catch up with the second game, but it is hard to say whether he can return in the first game.

Tierney's injury does not seem to be much easier than Maguire's.

The good news is that Dendoncker and Almiron will be able to return to the game in 10 days at most.

The injury information diluted some of the joy of victory.

A few days later, Wolves rotated their lineup to play against Brighton, and ended with a 1-0 victory for Wolves. The goal scorer of this game was not a Wolves player, but a Brighton player.

Gonçalves broke through the left side and swept in front of the goal. The main central defender Dunk, who was in his prime, was not focused and directly kneeled the ball into his own goal.

Goalkeeper Matthew Ryan was dumbfounded. It’s not enough for me to defend against 11 opponents. I also have to pay attention to you guys not to sneak attack?

The game ended in such a dramatic process. With three points in hand, Wolves’ current league ranking has temporarily risen to fourth place. But everyone knows that the league is no longer Wolves’ goal.

"From the lineup that Wolves sent out in the league, it can be seen that Wei Le obviously doesn't take the league that seriously. They just want to go further in the Europa League." Commentator Lineker said this when referring to Wolves.

"This is not a bad thing." Lineker added, "But I don't know what kind of results can be considered satisfactory for Wolves. If the league fails to get a European place in the end and the Europa League fails to achieve satisfactory results, the pressure on Wolves next season will be a bit great."

Lineker's assumption is indeed a result that many Wolves fans do not want to see. They commented on social media and asked Lineker to stop being a bad mouth.

However, the discussion caused by Wolves' overwhelming success in the Europa League is indeed not very hot.

Compared with this, everyone is more concerned about Manchester City's performance. It is right to say that it is a performance, because Manchester City has won nine games unbeaten in the league. The 18-game winning streak, which set a record in the English top league at the time, allowed them to lead second-placed Manchester United by 14 points before entering 2018.

After Wolves blocked Manchester City as a giant killer, Manchester City seemed to play more aggressively.

Before the end of the winter window, after giving up Ruben Dias, Manchester City chose its second choice in the defender position and bought Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Bilbao, a central defender with Spanish and French nationality.

Laporte's arrival has reduced many hidden dangers in Manchester City's defense. More importantly, after Laporte came on the court, the defense line has an additional option for passing the ball, which is what Guardiola attaches the most importance to.

In order to win Laporte, Manchester City activated the buyout clause in Laporte's contract worth 57 million pounds, which is almost 65 million euros., and signed him for five years.

The Wolves players were stunned by the generous salary, because their salary might be the salary of several Wolves players added together. Although Laporte gradually occupied the starting position after coming to Manchester City, the "party" Ruben Dias did not regret his choice at that time.

"It doesn't matter, we beat them at that time." Ruben Dias seemed very calm.

A few days later, the Wolves flew to Salzburg.

They found that the home of Salzburg Red Bull, the square Salzburg Red Bull Arena, is actually next to the Salzburg Airport. This stadium is indeed unique in shape, and Wei Le commented that "a hole is dug on a brick."

The Salzburg Red Bull Arena was built in 2003 and expanded in 2008. Now it can accommodate more than 30,000 fans and is one of the largest stadiums in Austria.

In this game, the Wolves, who were short of players, did not play any tricks. They used the 4-3-3 style they often used in the Championship League. The right back Kounde did not move inward, just played as a proper right back.

On the left was Alphonso Davies, there was no choice.

As for the central defender, after thinking about it, Wei Le still played a safe position and used Coady to partner with Ruben Dias, who was also an old partner in the Championship League. There was no problem with the tacit understanding.

In the midfield, Rodri was the one who dragged back, De Paul was the left central midfielder, and Van der Beck was on the right. And this time, Jovic was used as the center forward instead of Jota, mainly because Wei Le wanted to try the header explosion style.

Determined to attack, the wingers on both sides were a combination of Jota and Bowen. Jota was on the left and Bowen was on the right. They both played an inward role, releasing space on the wing to let the full-backs on both sides press forward.

"You must be very familiar with this tactical style, because we sometimes play this way in the Championship League." Wei Le said in the pre-match preparation meeting, "Today, we are going to play a central position press."
