Wei Le did not make any adjustments.

Although the situation on the field was very tense, Wei Le was not surprised by such a situation. On the contrary, Southampton actually attacked for nearly 20 minutes, but there were only one or two absolute opportunities.

It seemed that Southampton's ball flew around the Wolves' penalty area, but the Wolves' defense was never really penetrated. The Wolves' defense was still systematic and could stop Southampton's offensive, which was already very satisfying to Wei Le.

At the beginning of the game, the players on both sides were very excited and nervous. But as the game progressed, when Southampton found that they could not attack for a long time, would their mentality change? This is unknown.

Wei Le was waiting for this moment, and this was the moment when the Wolves launched a counterattack.

Before that, if you hold on firmly, there will be a way.

In the 28th minute, Steven Davis fired directly at a distance of more than 30 meters from the goal, trying a long shot, but the cannon became an anti-aircraft gun, and the ball flew directly to the stands.

In the 34th minute, Southampton's attack resumed.

Steven Davis received Romeu's cross pass and dribbled forward. After observing left and right, he chose to pass the ball to Raymond on the left. Raymond found that there seemed to be no room for development on the left, so he stepped back a few steps and passed the ball directly from the left to the right!

But Raymond's pass was not good. He planned to pass it to the right forward Walter Prowse in the right rib space, but actually passed it to the right back Cedric.

Cedric passed the ball directly to Walter Prowse, who glanced at the penalty area and chose to cross the ball at a 45-degree angle far from the goal!

Walter Prowse's cross drew an arc, and Gabidiani secretly called a good ball. He just took a step forward and the football flew accurately over his head!

"Gabi!!" Martin Taylor shouted, "Head the ball! Ruben Dias headed the ball out again. This time the ball was not powerful enough, and the goalkeeper didn't even need to make a move."

Gabidiani spit on the ground, looking very annoyed. The main reason was that the ball was indeed well passed, but Gabidiani was too lame. He couldn't help but look at Ruben Dias in front of him.

Ruben Dias looked at him expressionlessly, then turned around to pay attention to the direction of the ball.

Ruben Dias performed very well in this game. He faced Gabidiani and faced this opponent who was worth more than 10 million more than him. He proved with his actions that in front of football, the price really doesn't mean anything.

Perhaps it was the penalty kick against Manchester United that made Ruben Dias complete his transformation, or perhaps it was a subtle change. Ruben Dias is no longer the reckless young man. In the tempering of one tough battle after another, he has gradually grown into a central defender who can stand on his own.

"In terms of threatening shots, Southampton had five, while Wolves had none!" Martin Taylor frowned and said, "The ball possession rate was 40:60. Southampton completely controlled the game, while Wolves rarely attacked the half court."

"This is not good news for Wolves. This game looks more difficult than people think. But Southampton still couldn't score a goal. Among the five threatening shots, two did not hit the goal range, and the others were resolved by goalkeeper Martinez."

"Ruben Dias's performance was also impressive. Gabidiani couldn't take advantage of him. After the turning shot in the penalty area, Ruben Dias didn't give the striker who had just arrived in England any chance."

"In fact, the development of the game is not as one-sided as people think." Lineker, who had been silent, interrupted at this time.

"Oh? Then tell me what you think?" Martin Taylor glanced at his partner beside him.

"In fact, although Southampton has been in possession of the ball and has been shooting, there are not many threatening opportunities. Southampton's offensive means are very simple, either crosses from the wing or hasty long shots outside the penalty area."

"They rarely, or never, use the means of penetration in the middle, mainly because... they can't penetrate." Lineker said this and paused, "Rodri played a very important role in this, followed by Ruben Dias' defensive performance."

"Rodri can deal with most of the balls that may penetrate from the middle. With the help of Van der Beck who actively returns to defense, Southampton cannot form an advantage in the middle and can only seek one-on-one on the wing.""Van de Beek has made significant progress. It has been less than two months since he came to Wolves, but he has made greater contributions when participating in defense."

"His defensive positioning is smarter, and Van de Beek has become stronger, which allows him to gain an advantage in fierce physical confrontations."

"Wolves' defense is shaky, but it just won't fall! This is the most surprising point. Their style of play is very different from that in the Championship. If Southampton doesn't pay attention to this, they may be penetrated instead."

Wei Le jumped in the technical area on the sidelines, stretched his arms and kicked his legs-although it was an afternoon kick-off, it was still a bit cold in London in February.

The noise of the fans has eased compared to the opening, and they also need a breather. But the core fan area of ​​Wolves still has flags flying. The fans did not stop because the Wolves were suppressed. On the contrary, they sang louder.

Their voices were heard throughout the stadium, and the Wolves players knew that their fans were still fighting with them.

Wei Le looked at his watch. Almost 40 minutes had passed. Now the two sides were fighting in the midfield, and the ball was frequently transferred. After figuring out the breakthrough habits of the two wingers in this game, their success rate of breakthroughs was greatly reduced.

Godfrey's physical fitness is better than that of Walter Prowse, especially in terms of speed. If Walter Prowse tried to "race horses" with Godfrey, then Godfrey would definitely win the race.

Raymond on the other side caused a lot of trouble for Doherty, but Raymond rarely shot directly in this game, and more often passed to teammates in the middle, which made the Wolves' defense prepared.

In the 41st minute, Walter Prowse and his teammates in the middle completed a two-pass cooperation and entered the penalty area! In front of Prowse, Coady tried his best to force him to the bottom line, and the angle became smaller and smaller. Walter Prowse gritted his teeth and directly chose a small angle volley!

But Coady was faster than him. The moment Prowse raised his leg, he had already "thrown" his center of gravity out, sliding to block the possible shooting direction of Walter Prowse!

The football hit Coady's leg and bounced out of the baseline.
