When this goal happened, Benítez was curled up in his sports coat, indifferent to what happened on the court.

Perhaps he finally understood that his team had no chance, or perhaps he couldn't think of how to make up the score in the next time. But in any case, in Wei Le's opinion, the game was over.

Amid the cheers, the referee blew the whistle to end the game!

2-0, Sheffield Wednesday defeated Newcastle United at home, and after this game, the points gap between Newcastle United and Wolves is really 9 points!

Is this an upset? In fact, it's not. The second place in the league lost to the fifth place in the league. This is not an upset in any way. But considering the difference between the two teams and the dominance shown by Newcastle United throughout the season, this is undoubtedly an upset.

After the handshake, the Newcastle United players didn't want to stay on the court for a second, and walked back to the locker room with their heads down.

After this game, Benítez didn't get angry in the locker room again. To be precise, he looked numb and no longer interested in anything. He just urged everyone to pack up and leave.

At the post-match press conference, reporters looked at the haggard Benítez and couldn't help but exclaimed, is this really the same Benítez from the day before?

Without continuing to listen to the press conference, Wei Le turned off the TV and sighed. It is indeed as he commented that Benítez is actually a stubborn person with a strong desire to win.

Such people can often keep their original intentions in the face of temptation and can still be full of fighting spirit in the face of many criticisms. It is also this kind of people who will go to the other extreme of paranoia.

It seems that Benítez once did the former, but now he has gone to the latter. From the perspective of an observer, it is always difficult to see Benítez clearly as a fan. Now as the head coach, Wei Le has a little more emotion for such a respectable opponent.

Speaking of Wolves, Wolves only need to win any two games in the next two games to win the league championship, and every Wolves fan and supporter hopes that this moment will happen faster and faster.

But in any case, as Wei Le said, now that Sheffield Wednesday has won the game, the initiative to win the championship has completely fallen into the hands of Wolves.

But the next game will not be easy to play, because the opponent in the next game is Brighton, which ranks third in the league!

After Newcastle United lost the game against Sheffield Wednesday, Brighton was as much as 8 points behind Newcastle, and it was probably impossible to catch up. They would end the season in third place without any accident.

Brighton's initial goal of the season was to upgrade. They did not shout out the slogan of upgrading directly like Newcastle United, but proved their confidence in upgrading with actions.

Brighton is a city very close to London. But compared to the bustling London, Brighton looks much quieter. Close to the sea, the small city under the sea breeze seems not to have been completely invaded by high-rise buildings.

Perhaps because of this, the football bred in this city with a slow pace is less anxious than the football in the big city of London.

Brighton's ancestors were not rich.

Brighton, founded in 1901, did not appear in the highest level league for the first time until nearly 80 years after its establishment. From then until the arrival of the 21st century, Brighton struggled in the lower leagues. Such a team has too little influence internationally, and not many people know it.

But then, in 2009, Brighton welcomed their new chairman Tony Bloom.

Tony Bloom has another identity, that is, the founder of the famous sports betting consulting company "Lizard Star". He hired the world's top programmers and engineers to predict investment projects, and the final prediction conclusion was far higher than most bookmakers.

The tone he set for Brighton was to take steady steps. After arriving at the club, he first solved the stadium problem that had plagued the team for a long time, funded the construction of the new home stadium, the American Express Stadium, and then he turned his attention to the renewal of the team.

If Wolves started to build their scout data analysis system after Wei Le, then Wolves were already seven or eight years behind Brighton.

Almost as soon as he arrived at the club, Tony Bloom began to work on the experience of forming the computing team of "Lizard Star" in Brighton.Build their own "Lizard Star".

However, "Lizard Star" is aimed at the results of sports events, while Brighton's system is aimed at the process - players, coaches and team staff.

This system was not completed in 2017, but it has helped Brighton make many wise decisions in the selection of players and staff. For example, the team's current coach is actually Hughton, who was driven out of Norwich, and the one who performed well this season is actually Knocket, who was kicked out of Leicester City three years ago.

Facts have proved that Brighton is really good at picking up leaks.

The word "picking up leaks" has some meaning of luck, but Brighton's "picking up leaks" is not actually based on luck, but the optimal solution obtained with the technical support of their data analysis system.

What Bloom needs to do is to believe in the system he built, and believe that the coaches and players he selected will definitely be the most suitable for Brighton.

Although Brighton has had some PTSD about the promotion play-offs after being eliminated in the promotion play-offs for several consecutive years, it has been determined that they will not be promoted directly this season. Brighton can only "make the best of it" and strive to enter the promotion play-offs with a third place, and then try to "break the curse" this year.

Brighton's head coach Hughton sent out a relatively conventional lineup for this game.

The goalkeeper is Stockdale, who has been their main goalkeeper since 2014 and is currently in his prime. The central defenders are a combination of Dunk and Hunemayer. Hunemayer, who was introduced from Paderborn in the German Second Division, is one of Brighton's "leakages".

In the winter window of the 2015/16 season, Hunemayer, who only played two games, was spotted by Brighton and received a plane ticket to London. As it turned out, he was plug-and-play in the second half of the season and played almost all the games.

Dunk is an outstanding product of Brighton's youth training and won the English League One championship with the team.
