After the Wolves' rotation, although they were substitutes, with Rodri's control and Edwards' help, they seemed to be the same team as the Wolves team that played against Manchester United with all the main players.

The midfield is the brain of the team, and the main feature of the Wolves' tactics in this game is the rotation of three midfielders. After the center forward Jota retreated, the Wolves could have four players in the middle. Such a numerical advantage and the gap in the players' personal abilities allowed the Wolves to control the midfield.

Controlling the midfield means controlling the direction of the entire game.

Heginbotham's team seemed to have no chance to launch any attack at all. In fact, the Wolves had been controlling the ball in the frontcourt and patiently looking for Barnsley's defensive loopholes.

In the 7th minute, Rodri received Jota's pass and missed the goal with a long shot near the middle, which scared the England coach.

He hurriedly shouted, wanting the players to cheer up and end the Wolves' control.

But unexpectedly, Rodri's long shot seemed to be the beginning, the beginning of the Wolves' full-line offensive.

11th minute.

Jack Pearce broke through the midfield with the ball, but Barnsley didn't dare to move forward easily, so he was brought to the halfway point between the penalty area and the center line.

Only then did Barnsley's defensive midfielder Scowen move forward to prevent Jack Pearce from continuing to break through. Jack Pearce didn't get entangled with Scowendo, he pushed the ball horizontally to the left!

At this time, in the large space on the left, Ben Godfrey rushed up with his long legs! He rushed directly to the penalty area with the ball!

"Hey, guard against his long shot!" Goalkeeper Adam Davis shouted loudly, so Barnsley's full-back rushed up to defend Godfrey, but Godfrey didn't want to shoot at all!

Now Godfrey was on the left side of the penalty area, he pretended to cut inside, deceived the full-back's center of gravity, and then passed the ball low into the penalty area!

This ball was not a horizontal pass, more precisely, it was a straight pass towards the bottom line!

In the crowded penalty area, a green figure suddenly flew out, swept the ball back before it went out of the baseline, stumbled two steps, and then passed it directly to the penalty area!

"Edwards' cross! The ball was passed to the front of the goal... Jota! The ball went in!"

Edwards almost swept the ball into the small penalty area, and Jota's shot after joining in could almost be said to be a shot into the empty goal! This ball was a "Ibrahimovic grandmother can score", and Jota certainly accepted the gift with a smile! Facing the goal, Jota pushed the ball into the dead corner, and Adam Davis had no time to react.

"What's so good about this pass? The good thing is that the ball swept into the small penalty area, but it was three or two steps away from the goalkeeper. It was at this distance that goalkeeper Adam Davis was a little confused about whether to attack."

"At this position, the goalkeeper thought the defender should control the ball, and the defender thought the goalkeeper could get the ball. This gave Jota the opportunity to rush out and shoot."

"Anyway, Wolves are now ahead! Barnsley lost the first goal at home!"

Heginbottom covered his mouth. This goal was beyond his expectations. People paid attention to this goal, mainly focusing on Edwards' cross, but Heginbottom could see more from this goal.

In the offensive organization stage of this goal, Jack Pierce had a tendency to dribble diagonally from the right to the left while dribbling the ball.

At this time, most people were concentrated on the right side of the Wolves, and Jack Pierce's ball avoided his own teammates and the sharpness of Barnsley's defensive players. This through pass and the subsequent performance reflect the difference in personal ability between Edwards and Ben Godfrey and Barnsley players.

Why can two people make four or five defensive players go around in circles?

Heginbotham shook his head. He felt that all his plans for Wolves would not succeed at all, but seemed a bit "smart". Wei Le seemed to be relatively calm. So far in this game, the players can only be said to have played normally.

What made Wei Le a little concerned was Almiron's performance. He did not start in the Manchester United game. It stands to reason that Almiron's physical fitness should be sufficient, but Almiron did not seem very active in this game so far.

Most of the players introduced by Wei Le in the winter window have basically adapted to the rhythm of Wolves' games. Only Almiron is still playing awkwardly. This awkwardness is generally reflected in the fact that he is always one step behind.

When receiving the ball, he is always one step behind, making it difficult for his teammates to see his position; when defending, he is sometimes one step behind, always slower than his opponent to get to the ball. In some half-court shots where he has an advantage, he would miss the ball.The power is given to the opponent.

It feels like "half a beat slower".

Wei Le was a little anxious at first, but Celars woke him up with a word.

"Don't always look at everyone with the eyes of a genius. Although there are many geniuses in our team, it doesn't mean that everyone is a genius."

Wei Le realized belatedly that he was too anxious.

From the time these new players arrived to the team, it has been less than a month. Almiron came to the team relatively later, leaving him less time to adapt.

What's more, this is only his first month in Wolves, and he has already delivered an assist for cutting in, showing his strength in his first appearance.

From the football environment of South America to the Championship, Almiron has experienced a change in football style. The environment of the Argentine League is obviously different from that of the Championship. For example, in the Championship, what Almiron feels most uncomfortable with is that his thin body does not have an advantage when he encounters strong English defenders.

The English Championship League is relatively encouraging of physical confrontation. In recent years, the English Championship League has intended to reverse the public impression of "rough guys everywhere" and "simple-minded and strong limbs", and physical confrontation is relatively restricted.

However, for some physical collisions, the referee's standards are still relatively loose.

The central defenders of the English Championship may not be able to keep up with Almiron's pace, but they can stop Almiron's pace-just knock Almiron away.

After experiencing the physical level of struggle, Almiron is indeed eager to make changes. But whether it is muscle gain or the cultivation of football awareness, it takes a long time and energy.

The most important thing to train a young player is patience. Even if Almiron is not young, there is still room for development at the age of 23. Wei Le commented that Almiron is a "late bloomer" player, which requires Wei Le to be more patient with Almiron.

In this game, Almiron was still treated with emphasis by the opponent's central defender.

Wei Le does not intend to make adjustments, and it is certainly useful to let Almiron see the style of the English Championship League. He wanted to see what Almiron could do.
