Wolves pressed forward from the first minute.

In the plan, Wei Le made it clear that the FA Cup match against Liverpool on January 7 was "not within the scope of consideration" and that a full substitute lineup should be sent out. This means that Wolves do not need to hold back in the two games in the new year.

Jota broke into the danger zone in the third minute, scaring the defensive players into sliding tackles and giving Wolves a free kick in a good position. But Edwards' direct shot hit the wall and flew out.

This free kick was not the focus of the attack. The corner kick created after the ball flew out of the baseline was taken by Edwards again. Jota headed the ball, he shook his head and the football "Duang" hit the post and then bounced out.

Jota cried regretfully. Edwards ran up to comfort him.

"It's okay, this is just the beginning."

Jota nodded, but he really didn't seem to be in good shape in this game.

A few minutes later, Rodri's through ball entered the penalty area. Jota received the ball and shot it, but it was too straight and the goalkeeper held the ball in his arms.

Although Jota may have forgotten to bring his shooting boots in this game, other players are in good shape. The characteristic of Wolves' offense is "multi-point blossoming". Even if Jota is not in good shape, Wolves' offense has never stopped without anyone.

Of course, the absence of Rodri does reduce the offensive effect.

In this attack, Jack Pierce intercepted the opponent's through ball and passed it to Rodri. Rodri's long pass "deal" to the wing, and Edwards pulled to the wing to receive the ball first.

Bowen ran to the bottom line and pulled away a defensive player, so Edwards had the opportunity to cut inside.

Edwards must be a strong player in terms of ability, but he is still slightly inferior to Jota. These two are two players with different characteristics.

When Ziro, a pure center forward, is on the field, Jota, a striker, can play his role to the fullest, but Edwards obviously lacks such ability.

This does not mean that Edwards cannot gain a foothold in this team.

Now that the team lacks Ziro, Jota and Edwards frequently switch positions and frequently cooperate in the frontcourt offensive stage, and the effect is also very good.

For example, this time, Edwards cut inside near the penalty area line, and the Sheffield Wednesday players thought he was going to continue to cut inside and wait for an opportunity to shoot. But he finally chose to pass the ball to the penalty area with a low pass!

The two Sheffield Wednesday defenders turned around in horror. Both of them were in the front position, and behind them, there seemed to be no one defending the penalty area!

The football flew over the grass, and on the other side of the penalty area, a yellow figure rushed out of the crowd, threw his body out, and kicked a shovel shot!

That was Joe Mason!

The appearance of Joe Mason caught goalkeeper Worcesterwood off guard! He had already shaken off the full-back, and the shot from an unguarded position not only hit the goal frame, but also went through the goalkeeper's "small door" and flew into the goalkeeper's back door!

1-0! ! !

In the 12th minute of the game, Wolves opened the scoring!

In the cold weather, Wolves' simple and rough offensive mode ignited the enthusiasm of Wolves fans on the sidelines, and they sang even more enthusiastically!

In sharp contrast, the majority of Sheffield Wednesday fans have already stopped, and only sporadic boos can prove that they are still in the stands of the stadium.

Sheffield Wednesday players seemed to be a little confused by the loss of the ball. Head coach Carvalhal was furious. The loss of the ball was mainly due to the lack of concentration of all the people in the back line.

The two central defenders were too far forward, and the two only wanted to stop Edwards, but they generously gave up a large space behind them! The full-backs didn't even notice Joe Mason cruising in the rib space.

Don't underestimate Joe Mason just because he didn't score many goals before! !

Scoring a goal doesn't mean the game is over, Sheffield Wednesday's counterattack was also quite threatening.

But before the end of the first half, it was Wolves who scored again to expand the score advantage!

The goal kick was kicked out, and there was chaos in the middle of the field. The football flew around and never landed. In the end, Rodri controlled the ball and passed it to Joe Mason on the left.

Joe Mason passed the ball back, and Rodri held the opponent's defender, twisted his body, and kicked it! The football hit a defender and bounced high into the air, landing in the penalty area!

Jota stood at the landing point, and the Sheffield Wednesday center back thought he was going to stop the ball, so he hurried up to block it. Jota did stop the ball, but it was stopped upwards! Jota suddenly had an idea and directly dribbled past the opponent and passed the ball past the center back Sasso.

LeftDefender Ritchie came up, but Jota didn't dribble past the defense again.

The ball hadn't landed yet, but Jota was ready to shoot! He volleyed and shot! ! !

"Hey!" Goalkeeper Westwood jumped high and stretched out his hand to get the ball back.

But he couldn't fly that high! Jota's volley flew into the goal! ! ! !

The ball went in! ! ! ! !

2-0! !

Jota was very excited. Before that, he seemed to have forgotten to bring his shooting boots. No matter how he shot, he couldn't score. This time, he scored a wonderful goal with a wonderful skill performance! He proved to people that he was still Jota!

The game ended with a score of 2-0. The second half was uneventful. As the night went on, the weather became colder and snowflakes fell. For the purpose of protecting the players, both sides did not let the players continue to fight.

And good news came one after another. Newcastle lost!

This means that the two-point gap between Wolves and Newcastle has been eliminated! Now, Wolves are back to the top of the league on the last day of 2016!

After the game, the team disbanded on the spot at the hotel where they were staying. The team arranged a car to pick up the players who wanted to go home and return to Wolverhampton, while some players wanted to play for a while in the local area before leaving.

"What are your plans next?" Wei Le asked everyone.

"Go home and play games!" Jota shouted, "Boss, do you want to join us?"

"No, play by yourself." Wei Le refused with a smile.

"I'm going to buy something for my family, and I won't go back with them for a while." Someone said.

"I'm going home to celebrate the holiday with my girlfriend!" Goalkeeper Martinez showed off, and then he was beaten up by Bowen and Jota.

Seeing everyone having so much fun, Wei Le smiled and prepared to announce the disbandment.

After Christmas is New Year's Day, another family reunion holiday. Of course, Wei Le couldn't celebrate the holiday again. Seeing that it was snowing outside, Wei Le had some experience this time. He didn't go out for a walk or do any entertainment activities. He planned to go back to his room and sleep.

"We won't train tomorrow afternoon, but we need to train on the morning of the 2nd..." Wei Le was still talking about the post-holiday arrangements. At this moment, suddenly, all the lights in the restaurant where they were were turned off!
