One 2-0, the other 2-0.

But in the two 2-0 games, Wolves won one at home and lost the other away.

But Wolves don't have time to feel emotional about these two games, because the League Cup final is coming!

The League Cup final is usually held in February and March, when the season is only in the middle. A League Cup final is likely to be held between two league games.

There is nothing to do about it. After all, compared with the FA Cup, the League Cup's influence in England is indeed slightly smaller. But there is a full week of rest between this League Cup final and the last round of the league.

Both sides of the game have plenty of time to prepare for this game.

The two sides of this game are Wolves and Southampton.

Southampton is currently ranked eighth in the Premier League, and Wolves are currently in the Championship. This also led to this League Cup final being called "the least watched League Cup final in recent years" by some people.

It's no wonder that people say that, after all, neither team in this game is a giant.

Three years ago, in the 2013/14 season, Manchester City won the League Cup final against Sunderland; two years ago, it was a strong duel between Chelsea and Tottenham, and Chelsea was the winner in the end; last year, Manchester City and Liverpool met at Wembley, and Manchester City won.

In these three years, at least there were giants participating in the competition, which had a great influence in the whole of the UK.

But what about this year? A Championship team? A mid-level Premier League team?

There is a topic, but the influence is indeed a little bit off. Everyone is willing to use the Wolves' "loser counterattack" experience as a topic of conversation after dinner, but... who would be willing to actually watch their games?

But the residents of Wolverhampton disagree with this.

Because this was a match for Wolverhampton's local team, and because it was the League Cup final held at Wembley Stadium, known as the "Empire Stadium", Wolverhampton football fans brought their families and set off for London.

"Tie it tightly!" Todd passed by his rented truck with two buckets and loudly reminded the two young men wearing the yellow home jerseys of the Wolves to store the flagpole and flag properly. The truck stopped outside the townhouse where he lived. Many neighbors heard the noise and leaned over from the windows of their houses to watch Todd decorate the truck.

Someone asked him, "Todd, are you really going to drive there?"

"Why not?" Todd smiled happily, his big face wrinkled, "I finally got a leave."

"Isn't your boss very strict? How did you get a leave?"

"Guess what? I confronted him! I said I wanted to watch the final of Wolves, guess what he said?"

"What did he say?"

"He said he is also a Wolves fan, and he wants to go too!" Todd laughed, "It's a pity that they have already booked train tickets, otherwise we can still go together."

Todd threw the bucket on the co-pilot of the truck, dusted off the dust on his clothes, stepped back a few steps, and looked at the truck in front of him with satisfaction. The tarpaulin of the truck he rented has been decorated with the Wolves logo and the Wolves flag.

"Dad, it's almost time!" A young man who had just fixed something in the truck bed poked his head out and shouted to Todd.

"Good!" Todd shouted, clapped his hands, just like Martinez did before the penalty shootout, he opened the driver's door of the truck and jumped on.

"Let's go! Target - London!" Todd shouted, and the truck rumbled and set off first under the watchful eyes of the neighbors. Everyone stood behind the truck and shouted goodbye to Todd.

"Go Wolves!!! Go Todd!!!"

Todd concentrated on driving, and one of his two sons leaned out of the window and waved to the crowd that was getting farther and farther away.

"Defeat strong enemies in a row! The English Championship team stood in front of the gate of Wembley, and the League Cup champion waved to them!"

"Southampton should not be underestimated, coach Pierre said he was full of confidence in the final"

After skimming through the reports, Wei Le exited the news software, put down his phone, and watched the scenery outside the bus whizzing by. Behind him, the players sat in their seats, killing time in the bumps of the highway.

Suddenly, Wei Le's eyes widened as he watched a truck passing by his bus. The truck was decorated with Wolves' decorations all over, with Wolves' posters posted on the shed and a Wolves' flag hanging next to the cab!

The driver must be a loyal Wolves fan!

Not only him, but the players also noticed this unique truck. It seemed to be headed to London, just like their destination.The same place!

Todd's eldest son woke up from his sleep. He was sitting in the passenger seat. He blinked his eyes, woke up, and looked around.

"Where... where are we?"

"Just arrived near Northampton, what's wrong?"

"Hey..." Todd saw that his son didn't respond to him, so he took the time to turn his head.

But he saw that his son was staring blankly at his right fast lane.

"What happened?" Todd was driving and couldn't turn back, so he asked his son.

"It's Wolves! Wolves' bus! We ran into them!" Todd was stunned by his son's excited voice.

"Is it true? Wolves' bus? Are you sure?"

"Jota! Jota! I saw it!"

Todd took a look at the bus that passed by him, the yellow exterior, the Wolves' team logo... Todd held his breath - impossible! It's really the Wolves' bus!

"Drive carefully, Dad!"

"I know, hurry up, take out the flag, wave it!" Todd suddenly thought of something and hurriedly told his son. Of course, the son also knew what his father meant, and he took out a small flag--just behind him, in the most conspicuous position.

The son stretched the flag out of the window, and Todd tried to keep the speed of the car almost at the same level as the bus. Todd watched his son waving the flag with his peripheral vision and smiled.

This kid is also a good fan, just like your dad!

The players on the bus obviously didn't expect to encounter such a situation. After a flurry, everyone leaned on the window closest to them to watch, and some even took out their mobile phones to record this scene.

"Jota! And Van der Beck, Rodri! Martinez! They are all here! And Wei! Our head coach Wei!" Hearing his son's excited shouts, Todd, who had to concentrate on driving, smiled and sighed, and could only imagine what kind of scene his son saw.

"Dad! They are waving at us!! Waving at us!"

"I know, but the highway ahead is going to be two-lane, we can't drive like this." Todd looked at the road sign with some regret in his tone.

"The road ahead is going to be two-lane, we need to say goodbye to them." On the bus, the driver also reminded Wei Le and the others. Wei Le and the players nodded with emotion, watching the car on their left slow down and disappear behind them.

"You must win!" Watching the bus getting farther and farther away, Todd's eldest son took back the flag.

"They will!" Todd nodded firmly.

On the bus, when the truck disappeared from their sight, the players didn't speak, and everyone was recalling the adventure just now.

"We have the best fans." Wei Le said, standing in the aisle of the car.

The players nodded, they had never seen people supporting a team like this.

"So we must win this game, for us and for them."

No one responded to Wei Le, but everyone took this sentence to heart. Wei Le didn't need to say anything, when they saw Todd's car passing by, they were filled with emotion.

As a player, with such fans supporting him, what other ways can he repay them besides winning the championship!
