When the media asked Mourinho about his opinion on the game, Mourinho supported Wei Le "as always".

Mourinho added Wei Le's contact information after the game between Manchester United and Wolves, and the two had a deep exchange. Although there is a 20-year age difference, football is the common language.

Mourinho thinks Wei Le can be regarded as a representative of the head coach of the new era. These young head coaches are flexible and advanced in thinking, attach importance to science and technology, and can get along well with the players.

"Wei Le can win." Mourinho said firmly, "I have a good relationship with him, and of course I support him to win."

But when Benítez on the other side was asked about the relevant questions, he seemed a little negative. After all, Wolves are their direct rivals for the championship, and he can't directly wish his rivals to win the trophy in front of them.

"I prefer to discuss the content about my team." Benítez turned away stiffly.

In Asia, this game is also very popular. Not only because Wei Le is Chinese, but also because there is an Asian figure in this game besides him.

"Yoshida, what do you think of your opponent's head coach? He is a Chinese named Wei..."

Maya Yoshida frowned, "I know his name."

"He is an opponent who needs to be taken seriously. He led his team to defeat strong opponents."

"Are you confident that you can beat him? Many people call this the Asian Derby." A Japanese reporter asked. But Maya Yoshida did not continue his words.

"I still think that not every game can be called a derby. An Asian player and an Asian coach, this really cannot be called a derby. I have never been a person who underestimates the enemy. I am not 100% sure that I can win, and I believe the other party is the same."

Maya Yoshida's negative response embarrassed some reporters who advocated the "Asian Derby". Japan has gradually developed into a powerful country in Asia in the early 21st century, while China seems to be still in the tortuous exploration stage.

After a Chinese head coach finally emerged, Japanese public opinion actually didn't think highly of Wei Le. They hoped that their country's player Maya Yoshida could crush the opponent, but they didn't expect Maya Yoshida to not think about the "derby" at all.

Maya Yoshida, 29, was very calm. He felt that he had passed the stage of "fighting for will". It was a good thing that a head coach worthy of admiration appeared in Asia. He didn't really understand why the media in his own country had to belittle the other party. Is it just because he is a Chinese?

Wei Le also intended to "cool down" the Chinese media. Regarding the "Asian Derby", Wei Le also gave a negative response. He felt that Maya Yoshida was an excellent defender and would be a major obstacle to the Wolves' offensive stage.

Under the control of both sides, the gunpowder smell of this game was really not very strong.

The lack of gunpowder smell does not mean that the passion for victory of both sides is not strong - after all, this is a championship, a real, League Cup championship.

You know, before the first UEFA Cup in 2021, you know that the champion of the League Cup can get a ticket to the second round of the UEFA Cup qualifiers. This is a happy event for a team like Southampton that is still some distance away from the European war zone.

Wolves are even more interested in this championship. After all, this is the first possible championship after Wei Le came to the team.

The League Cup is more of a "mid-level" competition in the English football game system. Some strong teams actually don't look down on this cup competition. Sometimes they send young players to feel the atmosphere.

Even if they lose and are eliminated, they won't be sad.

For small and medium-sized teams, such as mid- and upper-middle-level teams in the league like Southampton, the League Cup is a rare opportunity for teams of their level to touch the championship trophy.

"It's so big!"

"It's spectacular!"

The Wolves players stood outside the Wembley Stadium and looked up at this magnificent building from a distance. The next afternoon, they will practice on the field, and a day later, they will step onto the stage of the League Cup final.

This world-class professional football stadium standing in London was just delivered ten years ago. The design of Wembley Stadium is very unique, including a movable retractable roof, which is the largest capped stadium in the world.

In addition, it has a 133-meter-high arched steel structure. The total length of the "arch" is 315 meters, which is the longest single-span roof structure in the world. There are also lighting equipment on the "arch", which looks like a rainbow at night, very beautiful and fascinating.

The whole stadium is in the shape of a bowl, the stadium is full of seating areas, no standing area, the stands are in a vertical shape, with a total of 90,000 seats. It cost the British government nearly 1 billion pounds to repair this spectacular building.

"I can't imagine playing football in such a place!" Jota said, covering his chest. Atletico's Calderon Stadium is already the largest stadium he has ever seen, and the magnificent Wembley Stadium in front of him looks even more spectacular!

Bowen did not respond. He is English, and he certainly knows the importance and key historical position of Wembley Stadium to English football and even to England.

As a native English football player, Bowen believes that every English player who grew up with him has a dream of playing football in Wembley Stadium.

And now, their dream has come true!

"The grass on this stadium looks so soft! Softer than the one at Molineux!"

"This grass! Ah! This grass! So beautiful!"

"Oh my god, it's really soft."

A group of country bumpkins stepped onto Wembley Stadium, and the first thing they did was... squat down and play weeding together? ?

"Stop playing weeding!" Celars' face turned black with anger. He had seen the world, and when he saw his players were so... worthless, he was so angry that he almost kicked them.

These guys are really worrying. They are all in their twenties, but why is our coach Wei... Celars turned around and saw Wei Le squatting on the ground fiddling with something.

Celars almost fell over.

The field training began in chaos. The players stepped onto the grass they were about to fight on and began simple warm-up training of passing and shooting. At this stage, no unrelated personnel were allowed in the stadium, and the stadium staff also needed to temporarily leave the stands and other areas where the team's field training might be filmed.

Looking up at the empty stands, the sounds of the players touching the ball echoed in this huge space. Wei Le looked around and couldn't help but imagine what kind of sound waves would be created if this place was full of people, the cheers of 90,000 people.
