"It's broken!" Old coach Warnock slapped his thigh.

They really let them score first. Warnock was not surprised that they lost the ball first, but Wolves scored in the first minute, which obviously exceeded his expectations.

This rising star Wei Le is indeed quite capable.

Losing a goal is not unacceptable, and Warnock remained calm.

But Warnock did not think that there was anything wrong with his basic strategy of defensive counterattack. Let us attack, we will not give you a second chance!

Warnock stood up and encouraged the players loudly.

But after the kick-off again, Warnock was surprised to find that Wei Le waved his hand and the players all took it back?

The players were also confused. Didn't they agree that you would attack for the whole game and I would defend for the whole game, waiting for an opportunity to attack you?

Why is the script not right?

We set up our posture, why don't you attack?

In the next game, Wolves basically shrank in the midfield and backcourt, and neither side seemed to have the intention to attack. Even if the Wolves got the ball, they were not in a hurry to launch an offensive quickly with their usual direct pass, but slowly passed the ball in the backcourt.

The Wolves were not in a hurry, but the Cardiff City players watched the time pass by, and they gradually became anxious. They needed to equalize the score quickly!

In the 20th or 30th minute, Cardiff City saw that the Wolves still did not intend to press forward, so Cardiff City chose to attack in a big way. Since you are not coming, then we will attack.

But when the Wolves saw that the Cardiff City players were going to attack, not only did they not show an urgent attitude as if they were facing a great enemy, but they seemed very happy?

Jota symbolically pressed Cardiff City midfielder Whittingham and let him pass the ball to the frontcourt, and Whittingham clearly heard Jota's happy face.

"Finally willing to attack." Jota said to himself.

What does "finally willing to attack" mean? Are you still looking forward to losing the ball?

Whittingham felt it was outrageous, and he wanted to ask Jota if he was crazy.

Isn't this looking down on us?

Whittingham was inexplicably angry. A few minutes later, he took a long shot to vent his anger, and then Martinez easily hugged the ball, which made Whittingham even angrier.

Cardiff City launched wave after wave of attacks, most of which were easily blocked by Wolves, but there were also a few times that actually threatened the goal.

Around the 35th minute, Cardiff City's through pass penetrated the Wolves' back line, but fortunately, center forward Pilkington stopped the ball too far and dribbled directly out of the baseline.

Whittingham's long shot from outside the penalty area before the end of the first half was almost about to score, and goalkeeper Martinez's diving save failed to touch the ball, but Whittingham's shot was not in the goal range in the end, and the ball flew just a few centimeters above the top of the goal frame.

This scared Wei Le into a cold sweat.

Of course, some of Wolves' counterintuitive game strategies were not improvised, but were decided by Wei Le. He hoped that the team could feel the situation when the opponent launched a large-scale attack and adopted high-pressure to suppress Wolves.

So in the game against Cardiff City, Wolves "deliberately created" such a scene, letting Cardiff City attack and press out.

Wei Le expected that Wolves would definitely feel unprecedented offensive pressure when facing Manchester United.

Before that, Wolves' ability to fight hard battles, or in other words, to fight defensive battles was not outstanding, and in fact, it had not been trained much.

At the beginning of the League Cup match between Wolves and Hull City, Wolves faced the impact of Hull City and were in a "dizzy" state for nearly 20 minutes.

This was just Hull City, the last team in the Championship at the time, and a team that was steadily on the relegation list! Hull City did not create much score advantage during this period, but Wei Le believed that this was only because they were Hull City.

If they were Manchester United, Wei Le believed that these twenty minutes would be enough for them to score two or three goals.

Cardiff City failed to threaten the Wolves' goal anyway, which actually disappointed Wei Le. I thought you would be better, but it's just that.

Whittingham's long shot was probably the best chance for Cardiff City in the first half.

Time came to halftime, and the Wolves players and Cardiff City players walked back to the locker room.

"Do you want us to help you practice defense?" The old coach Warnock looked more and more wrong. Taking the opportunity when the two players walked back to the locker room, he grabbed Wei Le and asked with his mouth covered.

Wei Le was startled and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Warnock also laughed angrily. He patted Wei Le on the shoulder and walked back to his locker room. But as soon as he returned to the locker room, his smile disappeared.

"Just now, I asked their head coach why their game strategy in the first half was so counterintuitive.. ” Warnock closed the door and said to his players, “He admitted that he wanted us to help them practice defense because they will play Manchester United next.”

“Perhaps you have also noticed that Wolves have been defending on the court.”

“But don’t you think that this is too much of a disdain for you? They are now leading by one goal, which is the most insecure score advantage, but they dare to be so arrogant!” Warnock spitted.

“Since he wants us to attack, then we will do as he wishes and equalize the score as soon as possible to teach these young people a lesson! "Warnock's statement made the whole locker room roar in unison. They also wanted to teach Wolves a lesson.

Warnock continued to make strategic deployments. He used two substitutions directly. First, he replaced the left winger Richardson, who was restricted in the first half, with the English winger Craig Noone.

Then he replaced Imos, who was more of a front midfielder in the first half, with a striker Kenneth Soch. The Polish center forward Soch is tall and strong, and such a center forward is needed to break through the dense defense.

Since you, Wei Le, dare to let my team help you practice defense, then you have to hold on.

Kenneth Soch turned around and collided with Bass. Soch did not move at all, and Bass After a stumble, he could only watch Soch stop the Cardiff City goal kick in front of him and calmly pass it back to the attacking player in the back row.

Bass got up and cooperated with Coady to stop the ball, which was considered to be the collapse of this attack.

Coady sent the ball out, Bass and Coady looked at each other, and they both broke out in a cold sweat - how could Soch be so strong!

But they knew that the center forward of Manchester United they were going to face was none other than the famous Ibrahimovic! He was much taller than this Kenneth Soch.

If they couldn't even deal with Soch now, let alone whether they could stand firm in front of Ibrahimovic.
