Golden Greenery

Coming to Molineux Stadium, Manchester City cannot say that they look down on Wolves, but starting from their position of strength, they do have reasons to despise them.

At the end of the Premier League last season, Swansea, Stoke City and West Brom were relegated to the Championship, while Wolves, Cardiff and Fulham were promoted to the Premier League. Wolves were the Championship champions.

Wolves is actually the nickname of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club. ‘Wolver’, like Wolfsburg’s ‘Wolf’, is a ‘wolf’.

If the name is too long, no one will care about it. On the contrary, the word "wolf" is catchy.

Wolverhampton is located in the West Midlands, south of Manchester City and north of London. It is the third largest city in the county, after Birmingham and Coventry. The city's specialty is small commodity wholesale, but it is obviously not as supplied to the world as Yiwu. realm.

Wolves are also a club with a very long history, but this is not unusual in England. However, it is interesting that Wolves are the only team in England to have won championships in five different leagues.

There is also a pretty awesome place. Since the 188th Stadium, it has been the home stadium of Wolves. The team has never moved in 120 years, which is the best in the football world.

In the summer of 201 Premier League, the Chinese consortium Fosun Group fully acquired Wolves, which had repeatedly jumped in the English Championship and English League One. Last summer, Wolves hired Portuguese coach Nuno Santo, who had coached Valencia, as the team's head coach.

In April this year, Santo, who is one year younger than Inzaghi, led the Wolves to the Premier League three rounds ahead of schedule in the 2017-18 season. He was also elected as the best coach of the English Championship last season.

But no matter how it is a wolf from the south, Manchester City still has the confidence to despise it.

The Wolves are not wealthy, but their net transfer investment in the summer was close to 70 million, ranking them tied for sixth place with Arsenal in the Premier League. The first is Liverpool's 170 million pounds, and the bottom is Manchester City and Tottenham's zero investment.

However, in the nine pre-season warm-up games, the Wolves only won one, and there were four other 0:0 games. Their offensive power was really worrying.

In the first two rounds of the Premier League after the official start, the Wolves only tied with Everton and lost to Leicester City. The English Championship is going sideways, and when you come to the Premier League, you have to slip into the corner first.

And Manchester City is amazing. Although it was difficult to win the Charity Shield and the Super Cup, they got the two championships.

In addition to the championship, Arsenal almost beat Arsenal back to the Stone Age with 7:1 in the first round of the Premier League. Just last week, in the second round of the Premier League, Manchester City, which made its first home appearance in the new season, overwhelmed Huazhen.

More than cruel, simply cruel. Amelie was crying in bed, and Uncle Zha's best friend Wagner (the coach of Harbin Town) wanted to die.

Zhuoyang and Akun both scored hat tricks, Jesus and David Silva added the icing on the cake, and Dutch defender Kongolo scored an own goal. Under the care of Zhuo Dashanren, Wagner recovered a corner kick from the Slovenian center back Joe Stankovic brought from Dortmund's youth training the year before.

Huazhen's strength is not shabby. Manchester City only won two games in the Premier League last season. They were also forced to replay in the FA Cup by Huazhen.

But now facing Manchester City, they collapsed faster than a shoddy project, and winning Zhuo Yang was boring. If you really want to let go, Zhuoyang can wear at least two hats.

Perhaps Huazhen has fallen, but it is more likely that this is the manifestation of Manchester City's strength. The absence of the three main players, Tintin, Lao Kong, and Mendy, plus Bravo, has not affected the overall strength of the team at all.

The anxiety of the Charity Shield and the Super Cup is just an accidental phenomenon. In the third year of Manchester City's careful craftsmanship by Zhuo Yang and Lao Gua, Manchester City is the only one in football.

Of course, in the League Cup 1/8 match last October, the Wolves tied with Manchester City 0:0 at the City Stadium in 120 minutes. In the end, they were only eliminated due to Zhuo Yang's penalty kick bug.

That game interrupted Manchester City's 11-game winning streak at the start of the 2017-18 season. Zhuoyang, who only came on as a substitute for 4 minutes, also stopped his consecutive scoring streak at the start of the season.

However, it was obviously impossible to count that time. Manchester City rotated extensively and replaced several substitutes, such as Mangala and Aladabioyo, as well as Foden, and even the B seat was still raw at that time.

At this moment, Wolves and Harbin are obviously more similar. The first thing they have to consider at home is how to lose fewer points.

Wolves spent the summer on transfers to strengthen their composition, and their transfer efforts were very successful.

There are several highlights. Portugal international goalkeeper Patricio came on a free transfer from Sporting Lisbon, and Mexican international forward Raul Jimenez, 27, was loaned from Benfica.

The 22-year-old Portuguese winger Diogo Jota was bought from Atletico Madrid for 14 million, and the 22-year-old Adama Traore, the former Barça Masia forward, was bought from the relegated Middlesbrough for 18 million.

Coming to the 32-year-old Moutinho, who has been the core midfielder of the Portuguese national team for the past ten years and 'Portuguese football player Pirlo', is like picking it up for free.

Purchased Chinese player Li Ke from Brentford for 20 million pounds, a defensive midfielder in last season's Championship team.

In the summer, Chinese international players who performed outstandingly in the World Cup were once again recruited by European football. The original three Zhang and Yan are still staying with their old club, Yan Junlin is in Madibao, Azhe is in Salosso, Tiedan is in Huocun, and Dongzi is still in Rayo Vallecano.

You Deshui went to Atletico Madrid, Kadashi defected to Inter Milan, Gao Taiwei chose Werder Bremen, A Lan went to Wolfsburg, and Xiao Jiang was taken back by his old club Everton.

Six of the eight players who returned to the West became overseas players. The most popular Maro unexpectedly refused all invitations and stayed in the new Chinese Super League to spend the rest of his life as a boss.

Exxon, who was seriously injured, was unlucky. The four-month truce period discouraged teams that were originally interested in him.

Among the native players, Leizi went to the Spaniards, who also had a Chinese-funded background. He was four years late in studying abroad.

2 shares recruited Ligue 1 team Nice, and Li Ke joined the Wolves. There are already 12 people in the National Football World Cup squad playing for the first teams of the five major leagues.

This is due to the fact that the national players are generally older and many are no longer suitable for studying abroad.

Coupled with several non-World Cup national football players, as well as Hope Chunlei players who are already in many echelons in Europe, if Zhuo Yang is thick-skinned, it is not impossible to form two all-European national football lineups.

But among the above-mentioned people, Zhuo Yang basically only has hope for 25-year-old Li Ke and 24-year-old Xiao Jiang in four years. Even the current 27-year-old A Lan is also very hung up.

Age is only one aspect. I hope that the group of wild Ultraman in the spring buds all over the mountains and plains are the main reason why time makes people grow older.

Li Ke's performance last season and during the World Cup, coupled with the aura of the Chinese international, was pursued by many Premier League teams in the summer, and his old club Arsenal also played the emotional card as always.

Out of his own considerations, to put it bluntly, whether he could be the main force, Li Ke carefully chose the Wolves, which was also praised by Zhuo Yang.

Under the coaching of Portuguese coach Santo, the Wolves followed a mixed route, attacking southern European pass-and-control in the midfield and frontcourt, while retaining England's simple and fast style of defense in the midfield and backcourt.

This is almost a standard routine for Premier League clubs, because it is impossible to overthrow the century-old tradition and team structure and start over again. The club does not have such large construction funds and lacks such courage.

Not every coach can play the mixed style well, and there are a lot of people who can complete the urban-rural fringe and rural non-mainstream, but Santo has been quite successful, otherwise the Wolves would not have won the championship last season.

In theory, Li Ke meets the competitive requirements of Wolves, but he is by no means a natural path here. He still needs to work with 21-year-old Portuguese demon Ruben Neves, Moroccan international Romain Saiss, and even Moudini. Ao competes.

This is normal. There is only one Zhuoyang in the whole of China. Other players can follow the wind, but if they do not have Zhuoyang's overwhelming strength, they must fight hard for their jobs.

Li Ke and his teammates are in the same situation.

Molineux Stadium is also known as the "Magic Girl". She is one of the earliest lighted stadiums in the Premier League and even the world, which is equivalent to the earliest start of beauty.

There are no corners in the stands on all sides, with a simple British style. This magic girl is quite square.

It's a pity for Niu that in order to welcome Zhuo Yang, the first strange man in football, she did her best to be coquettish today, but neither Zhuo Yang nor Li Ke started the game today.

The main color of the wolves is earthy yellow, so they are yellow wolves, a type of hyena, which belongs to the same subfamily as hyenas. This thing is best at killing.
