Wolves still faced heavy pressure from Fulham at the beginning of the second half.

But the pass success rate gradually increased.

From 72% at the end of the first half, it is now higher than 80%. This pass success rate is relatively average in the Championship League, not too low, but not too high.

In any case, it is already an improvement.

From the scene, when the average running volume of Wolves players increased, Wolves began to use more effective passes to mobilize the opponent's pressure. It can be said that the Wolves familiar to Wei Le are gradually recovering.

But it is only recovering.

The 80% pass success rate is not the normal range of Wolves. There are still many risky passes that are intercepted by the opponent first, and then cause threatening counterattacks.

Wei Le had to admit that Fulham played well in this game and they played in oneness.

In short, they behaved like a whole person. In the process of pressing, who pressed, who protected, and who supported was clear at a glance, very clear and clear.

Their offensive efficiency in this game was also very high, which refers to the ability to convert another attack into a threatening shot. Martinez played well in the first half of the game, making high catches and blocking, which prevented Wolves from losing the ball first.

Wolves started to get better, but they were still not in the best condition.

But threatening attacks began to appear.

First, Rodri's long pass dispatched Jota on the right, who then completed a pass and cut with Bowen, and Bowen brought the ball to the middle.

Bowen's straight pass was received by De Paul, who moved all the way from the left backcourt to the right frontcourt, but after receiving the ball, his attempt that seemed to pass and shoot was not headed by Jota, and finally failed to threaten the goal.

De Paul covered his face with his hand. The attempt just now was really outrageous, and it was hard for him to accept it.

A few minutes later, the left side was the force this time!

The tall Almiron rushed forward from the left midfield with the ball.

Facing the defense of left-back Fredericks, Almiron chose not to waste time on the opponent. Exquisite ingredients only need the simplest cooking method. Almiron dribbled the ball to the bottom line with his right foot!

The young Fredericks is very fast, but Fredericks is a young player after all, and a little reckless. The previous tackle was too fierce, and he needed more time to turn around and chase the ball.

When Fredericks was about to catch up with Almiron, Almiron had already arrived at the bottom line!

Cross? Not really!

Almiron dribbled into the penalty area horizontally along the bottom line!

Fredericks' heart sank, and he chased after him with his head down, while Almiron's inverted triangle cross had already been passed!

It was Jota! Jota received the ball on the right side, and goalkeeper David Barton stared at Jota and kicked to prepare for a shot, and then-

He fell!

Ryan Sessegnon, who played as a left-back and was younger than Fredericks, knocked Jota down in the penalty area!

"Penalty! Penalty!" Wei Le shouted at the stadium, and so did the Wolves fans who came to the away game.

More Fulham fans snored and flopped, hoping that the referee would see clearly. But the referee Chris Kavanagh blew the whistle, ran to the scene, and pointed his right hand directly at the penalty spot!

"The assistant referee and I saw it clearly. He thought it was a penalty, I thought it was a penalty, and that was a penalty!" Chris Kavanagh dispersed the Fulham players who were still protesting.

Sessegnon tripped Jota in the penalty area and stepped on Jota's shoes, almost knocking them off! The 17-year-old young player Sessegnon gave the opponent a penalty.

But he had no choice. Facing the goalkeeper, Jota was almost 100% able to score the ball.

He accepted the referee's yellow card penalty - fortunately, this was a reckless foul, just a yellow card warning, not enough for a red card.

"Who's coming?" Jota asked while holding the ball.

"You made the penalty yourself, so take it yourself." Bowen said, and Almiron had no objection.

So Jota stood in front of the penalty spot, and David Barton looked at Jota in front of him.

"Score..." Wei Le stared at the penalty spot dozens of meters away from him. He couldn't see Jota's facial expression, he could only look at his back.

Beep——

The referee blew the whistle, and Jota started to run up.

Jota kicked to the lower right corner, and David Barton rushed to the left, which was the opposite direction of Jota's shot! Is the ball in?

Duang!

Jota looked at the shaking goalpost in disbelief, and he even forgot to grab the second point to continue the attack. The ball was finally cleared by Sessegnon, who was on a yellow card, and it didn't even result in a corner kick, but kicked out of the sideline..

David Barton raised his arms and shouted, although the fact that the ball didn't go in had nothing to do with him. Sessegnon rushed over and hugged Barton.

Wei Le closed his eyes in some pain, and he turned around with a wry smile.

It didn't go in? His luck is too bad!

If Jota pursued the angle too much and pushed the ball directly to the goal post, it would be obviously unfair, and this was certainly not his intention. But from the result, the best chance to break the deadlock in this game has been lost!

Fulham's morale was greatly boosted, but they did not continue their pressing, but gradually shrank in the last 20 minutes. The Wolves players gradually took the initiative, and the game gradually returned to their control.

But Wei Le still felt something was wrong.

The main reason for the problem was that the Wolves were still not in the best condition. Now the Wolves' offensive speed is not as fast as before. When passing the ball, the Wolves players are always one step behind.

When passing the ball, they can never pass to a comfortable position, and they always have to adjust one more step when receiving the ball. Just like the goal lost by Van de Beek in the first half, it was actually because the central defender did not pass the ball in place, which caused Van de Beek to adjust two more steps before receiving the ball.

Obviously, the opportunity came out, and a through ball could solve the problem, but a ball was passed behind the back, and the receiving player had to stretch his legs to catch it.

Such a problem should not happen in the current Wolves, but it did happen.

The Wolves are not neglecting technical training now, but why did this happen?

The game is still going on and it has reached the last moment. The Wolves are now pressing the opponent, passing one after another, and shooting one after another. Van de Beek's long shot hit the crossbar and bounced off, and was successfully cleared by the central defender.

Van de Beek rubbed his head in annoyance, messing up his blond hair.

Almiron's high cross bypassed everyone and passed directly to the other end of the court, and then Doherty received the ball and passed it again! Haaland, who replaced De Paul, jumped high, but failed to reach the ball!

"Are you playing badminton?" Wei Le was a little unbelievable. But this time Almiron didn't have another chance to pass the ball!

Beep-beep-beep--

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

0-0.

In the end, no one was able to score. The second the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Fulham players hugged each other, and Craven Cottage became a sea of ​​joy!

The Wolves players stood on the field in confusion, watching the Fulham players around them pass by them.

Yes, they didn't win this game.
