Coaching career started as a college team coach

As Wei Le said, the schedule is still long, and players should not be proud of a victory.

Because the next game is four days later, it is a first-round game in the English League Cup. Generally speaking, top teams will not have such a schedule. They will join the schedule after the third round, and in the first two rounds, Wei Le's team will encounter lower-level teams more often.

Next, Wolves will face Crawley, a team in the English League Two.

Such a schedule arrangement makes the team atmosphere more relaxed anyway. It stands to reason that training has always been full of laughter. But today, Wei Le keenly felt that the atmosphere seemed too cheerful, and some players were even a little lazy in training.

Assistant coach Celars handed over the training report with a serious face. He observed that some players' training performance was not as good as usual. Wei Le knew that this momentum was not right and he needed to knock it.

"I don't care if he is from League Two or League One, or the Championship or the Premier League." Wei Le said with a serious expression, "No matter who we will face next, or the game in a few days, these are not important. What matters is that you are a football player."

"The two most important qualities of a football player are dedication. We had a whole day off yesterday. No matter how important it is, I will not call you back here during the holiday, because the holiday is for rest. When you come back from the holiday, you have to be 100% committed to the training ground and the game field."

Wei Le's serious words made some young players feel ashamed. Some of them played in the game two days ago. In any case, anyone would be proud of winning the first game in the Championship.

Wei Le's arrangement is very humane. Even if there is a game in four days, he generously gave a whole day off. In this way, the players really have no reason to be lazy in training.

After a pause, Wei Le continued to talk about the second point.

"Respecting your opponent means respecting yourself. There is a saying that goes, 'pay attention to your opponent tactically and despise your opponent strategically'. We certainly need confidence, and you have the capital to be confident. I can say that we are the team composed of the most talented young players in the English Championship."

"But no matter how strong you are, since you and your teammates are standing on the field, facing 11 opponents, then this is a fair game. Football matches are not like those football games, where you can decide the winner by showing your ability values. On the contrary, victory is achieved through hard work."

"How many cases of the weak defeating the strong have occurred on the football field? You all play football and watch football, so I don't need to say more. Maybe you have also experienced it. Respecting your opponent means respecting yourself."

Wei Le was very happy to see that Captain Edwards took several players back to the training ground after the training and finished the remaining training. This is the role he wanted the captain to play.

In any case, when the team's state is on the right track, the first round of the League Cup will soon arrive.

"Rodri passed the ball to the wing, Doherty passed it back, and Rodri passed it to Edwards. Edwards made an early pass, and we can see... Jota! He received the ball, the angle was relatively small, but he still chose... to shoot! The ball went in!!!!!!"

"A reckless foul outside the penalty area, this is a free kick, the referee did not give a yellow card. Jota stood in front of the penalty spot, it seems that he was ready to kick the ball... The referee blew the whistle, Jota took a run-up and shot! But it hit the wall, but it was not over yet, this is Coady! He rushed up and headed the ball! Goal again!!!! Now Wolves are two goals ahead!"

Returning to the locker room with a two-goal advantage, Wei Le praised all the players who played.

In this game, Wei Le arranged the starting lineup a little differently from the previous game, specifically in that Jota appeared on the front line, and the captain Edwards, who was on the bench in the previous game, played as a front midfielder this time, and Ziro did not play. On the left wing, Joe Mason replaced Portuguese Joao Teixeira - he looked a little tired, and Wei Le hoped that he would focus more on the league.

In addition, Wei Le reminded the players that it was not time to stop.

At the beginning of the second half, the players did not disappoint his expectations. They continued to attack Crawley. After all, it was a Championship team that crossed the level to play against a League Two team, and the strength gap was very obvious.

"The goalkeeper passed the ball to Joe Mason, who would not miss the godsend opportunity. He was too calm. He dribbled past the goalkeeper and now he could face the empty goal! He would not give up this opportunity! Push the empty goal! Now Wolves are three goals ahead!"

In the second half, Wei Le replaced Bowen, who was a little dizzy in the two games, with GrapeJoao Teixeira, the left winger of Spain. The left winger is now arranged as the right winger.

Bowen saw the fourth official holding up a sign to signal him to leave the field, and walked down slowly. He looked very frustrated, and he was perfunctory when shaking hands with Wei Le. He was very dissatisfied with his performance. Wei Le saw it, and he knew he needed to solve this matter.

In any case, Joao Teixeira, who replaced Jota, played well on the field. His performance on the right was not much worse than that on the left. His right foot was his dominant foot, and at Wei Le's suggestion, Joao Teixeira often played with a cross on the right.

This style of play also quickly took effect.

Once, Joao Teixeira's long pass almost flew into the goal, and it was the goalkeeper who struggled to push the ball out, so that Teixeira did not score this world wave.

But what is coming will always come, and the goal finally came.

Joao Teixeira received the ball in the midfield, advanced to the edge of the attacking third zone, and directly kicked a 45-degree cross. The football landed accurately in front of the penalty spot, which was not too far from the goalkeeper and was one of the most difficult positions to defend!

The area near the penalty spot is right between the goalkeeper and the defender. If the two sides do not communicate well, it is likely that three or four people will rush together or everyone will give way. And this chaos is the best chance to score.

The goalkeeper who just made a mistake in passing the ball was obviously not prepared. He attacked blindly but failed to get the ball. So Jota jumped high from behind the defender, overpowered the central defender, and headed the ball into the goal!

4-0!

This is stable.

Although Jota is less than 1.8 meters tall, his header is not bad. Heading was not a weapon in his arsenal at first, but with Wei Le's encouragement, Jota is trying to score more goals with headers. You know, headers are not just about jumping and height, but also a test of accurate judgment of the ball's landing point.

Jota is good at this.

At the last moment, Wolves' attack slowed down, and Crawley did not take the opportunity to counterattack.

The referee blew three long whistles, and Wolves finally defeated Crawley, a League Two team, and advanced to the second round.

"The second round is not enough, we need to go further, we deserve to stand at a higher position. As you know, the further we go, the more likely we are to encounter Premier League teams! We have always been fearless, so of course we have to give them a shock from Wolves!"
