Coaching career started as a college team coach

At first, Motta just said everything he could remember.

However, in the process of narration, some questions that he had not thought clearly about at first, in the end, he also had ideas.

"In fact, the biggest question I hesitated about was how to start my coaching career. I now have a certificate and understand a lot of basic knowledge, but for the experience of running a team, no teacher can teach me the correct answer."

Angela listened silently, nodding from time to time.

"So, are you considering whether to go to Wolves to study now?"

"Yes, but I don't know if Wei Le's coaching team is still short of people. I really don't know whether he can accept me as a student." Motta shook his head, "and if I join Wolves, I must go to the UK, and I haven't been to the UK much..."

"You, the old problem comes back again." Angela smiled and patted Motta's shoulder gently.

"Hmm?"

"I'm just not confident and always think too much." Angela rolled her eyes, "If you could show the same attitude as when you were chasing me, you wouldn't be so entangled."

"Your football career, I mean your football career, is full of injuries, these things will affect your judgment, but don't forget that you were once one of the best players in the world, you are one of the best football players in the world."

"But you always think about whether it is right to do this, what will you lose by doing so... what's the point?" Angela spread her hands, "If you want to go to the UK, we will go to the UK. If you want to go now, we will buy tickets immediately! If you can't buy them, you can take me on your motorcycle!"

"Angela, I'm still playing football now..."

"Huh, you still know you are playing football?" Angela crossed her arms and snorted, "You still have training tomorrow, look at what time it is now?"

"Yes, sleep, sleep." Motta smiled embarrassedly, it was indeed too late now. He held his wife in his arms and kissed her on the forehead, "Thank you, really, thank you."

"Go to sleep!"

"Okay!"

Wei Le didn't know what happened in France, nor did he know what Motta had decided, let alone what Guardiola was thinking. He was now thinking about the next Europa League opponent, Lazio.

The game against Stoke City was not challenging at all, and the brothers won the game with a little fun.

The score of 3-0 was neat and tidy. In the 10th minute of the first half, Van der Beck helped Wolves open the situation with a direct free kick in a particularly good position at the front of the penalty area.

In the 55th minute of the second half, during the corner kick attack, the Stoke City defenders were confused, leaving Coady directly in a state of no one guarding. Coady, who usually easily controlled Martin in training, smashed the ball into the goal with a header, 2-0.

The third goal came at the last moment of the game.

Bowen, who was substituted on, rushed into the demoralized opponent's formation with a howl, and made seven in and seven out. Relying on the continuous and unpredictable changes of direction, he found a chance to shoot directly at the goalkeeper, and pushed the ball into the far corner, performing a goal performance that can even be selected as a candidate for the best goal of the season.

At the last moment of the game, Dendoncker, who was considered to have recovered well, was substituted on and found the basic state of the game, but Wei Le shook his head when he saw Dendoncker's performance.

Still need to recover.

His athletic ability is obviously worse than before, and he almost made a mistake and scored a goal. His current passing accuracy is definitely not enough to replace De Paul in the same position.

Stoke City is considered to be no threat, and the game is no challenge. The next second game with Manchester City is that Wolves are no threat.

The Wolves, who are short of soldiers and generals, suffered a big loss at home, and Rodri was suspended because of accumulated yellow cards. The Wolves, who lost the midfield commander, played simply and roughly in this game. Wei Le directly sent out the traditional 4-4-2 formation.

Alphonso Davies is the left back, Doherty is the right, Kounde and Ruben Dias are the central defenders, De Paul and Van de Beek are the two midfielders, Haaland and Jovic are the two center forwards, and Jota is on the bench for the time being.

There is no surprise on the wingers, they are Trossard and Bowen.

The main focus is a simple and rough one.

There is no strange deployment of the diamond midfield, but only a parallel midfield setting. This is clearly a defensive counterattack style of play, and it was really passive in the game.

Wolves did not pursue possession of the ball. When they met a team like Manchester City that mainly played possession of the ball, the possession rate at the end of the first half was 20% to 80%.

Of course, 20% was for Wolves.

Possession of the ballAlthough the rate is not directly related to the score, it can indirectly reflect what happened on the field. In the 35th minute of the first half, De Paul's through pass was intercepted by the opponent, Laporte took advantage of the situation to launch a long pass counterattack, and De Bruyne got the ball.

Fernandinho's presence gave Manchester City's frontcourt players the confidence to press forward unscrupulously. David Silva and De Bruyne broke forward and passed the ball to Sterling, who passed it to Jesus to complete the assist.

Jesus' shot was powerful and the angle was tricky, and he hit the dead corner directly.

In the second half of the game, David Silva assisted De Bruyne to complete the second goal.

The score of 0-2 remained until the end.

Guardiola looked at Wei Le with a sad face and laughed at him a little.

"Don't be proud, this is because my main players are all gone. If our main players are all there, we will play another game to see who wins and who is annihilated." Wei Le said harshly when he had a drink with Guardiola after the game.

"It's really impressive. If you have whiskey instead of Coke in your hand, it might be more impressive." Guardiola was not scared at all. Instead, he pointed at the Coke in Wei Le's hand with disdain.

"By the way, do you know Thiago Motta?" Guardiola suddenly asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Wei Le certainly knows. It's no exaggeration to say that he grew up watching Thiago Motta play football. Although he is not a Barcelona fan, he also knows something about this "world's best No. 4 position".

Since Wei Le was also very tall when he was a child, he did try to imitate Thiago Motta's football, but later found that he was not a midfielder, so he turned to the goalkeeper position.

It is said that Thiago Motta is going to retire, and Wei Le is quite emotional, but other than that, he basically has no idea about the current situation of this player.

"Thiago Motta is going to retire, and he plans to enter the coaching circle and start coaching soon."

Wei Le was confused by what Guardiola said, "Okay. I think those who play as organizing midfielders are quite talented when they come out to be coaches. So what? He wants to be your assistant coach?"

"My coaching team is not short of people, it's not us."

"It's not us, it's..."

Guardiola pointed at Wei Le with a smile, "He likes you."
