"In this game, the starting lineup sent by Wolves is somewhat different from last season."

"The goalkeeper is still Martinez, and the left back is replaced by Tierney. Maguire got his debut in this game. He and Ruben Dias partnered as central defenders, and Doherty is still the right back."

"In the midfield, the three midfielders of Wolves today are arranged in an equilateral triangle, with new players Dendoncker and Rodri behind, and Van der Beck in front. The left forward is the Belgian left winger Trossard who transferred back from Genk, and the right winger Bowen started this game due to Almiron's minor injury."

"In front is Jota, the top scorer of Wolves last season."

Han Yang opened a bottle of soda while looking for a place to sit down. As soon as he sat down, the TV screen just turned to a close-up of Wei Le. Wei Le wore a suit today. After all, it was his first game, so he had to be more formal.

There have always been very few Asians coaching in the Premier League. It can be said that there are basically no Asian faces who have become head coaches in the Premier League. Today, Wei Le became the first Chinese to stand in front of the Premier League coaching bench.

Wei Le still stood in the technical area and did not choose to sit down to watch the game.

He was usually quiet during the game, mainly because the stadium was large and noisy. Even if he shouted loudly, only the players closer to him could hear him. It was difficult for the players farther away to understand what he was saying.

In this case, it is better to be quiet and save effort.

If there is a tactical instruction, he will tell the full-back closest to him and rely on him to convey it to other players.

It is precisely because of this that Wei Le felt the biggest difference between professional football and games for the first time, that is, the head coach's role in the game on the field is really limited.

The head coach's role in the game on the field is mainly reflected in the tactical level, but as mentioned earlier, it is difficult for the head coach's words to be clearly and promptly conveyed to the people who need to be conveyed.

If the head coach Wei Le is at this end of the court, and he wants the farthest winger Trossard to know how to cut in from the ribs, he may need to wait until the dead ball stage, tell the right back Doherty first, and then let him convey it to Trossard, or convey it to others first and then to Trossard.

This takes a long time.

Because the game requires the players' concentration, the players should focus on the court instead of trying to understand the head coach's gestures and spoken language. They also have things to think about and have their own understanding of tactics.

FM games simulate this. Generally speaking, after the player changes the new tactical instructions, it takes some time, generally after the dead ball, to apply it to the whole team.

But this simulation is obviously too conservative. It is very likely that the instructions conveyed in the 80th minute will not be understood by the players until the 85th minute.

Moreover, FM games are just games after all, and the tactical panel is still too simple. In real games, the information conveyed by the head coach may not be fully understood by the players. After all, players are people, not simulated data.

Therefore, Wei Le must try to make his instructions clear, understandable and brief.

In the first half of today, Wei Le's half was Stoke City's half, and the left front side of Trossard's Wolves team was the area in front of Wei Le.

Just now, he reminded Trossard to pay attention to more inward movement in this game and attack from the ribs, because he found that the opponent's right back against him was positioned outside and often lost his position.

If Trossard moved in at this time and let the left back Tierney come up to participate in the attack, it would be possible to form a number advantage on the left side and form a 2-on-1 situation against the opponent's right back.

Trossard took the order and left. Soon, Tierney gave Wei Le a thumbs up.

Stoke City's head coach Mark Hughes saw Trossard walking to the sidelines and couldn't help but look sideways, and happened to meet Wei Le's eyes. Wei Le nodded to the old coach, and Mark Hughes also nodded.

But when he turned around, the smile on Mark Hughes' face disappeared.

"The young man is really good." Mark Hughes muttered, looking at the field.

Today, Stoke City did not perform well. Or rather, Wolves performed too well.

"Stoke City basically did not have any particularly good opportunities. In the opening game of this season, Stoke City still did not seem to be in shape."

"Basically, the possession of the ball was on the Wolves side, and the Wolves were not in a hurry to attack. They passed the ball patiently in the midfield area, looking for loopholes in the opponent's defense line, and lured Stoke City to come forward to grab the ball."

Dendoncker slid and shoveled the ball from the opponent's left forward Bojan's feet, and Bojan fell to the ground.But the referee saw clearly that there was nothing wrong with the ball. So Rodri got the ball before the opponent's front midfielder Shaqiri.

Then Rodri dribbled forward, and at this time Van de Beek and right forward Bowen completed the position change, so Rodri first passed the ball directly to Bowen in the middle.

Bowen did not stop the ball, but passed the ball directly to the left, and Trossard received the ball.

Under the gaze of nearly 40,000 fans, Trossard led the ball forward and then began his dribbling performance!

Midfielder Joe Allen adjusted his pace, staring at Trossard's changing steps, and called on the full-back to double-team. Full-back Geoff Camron did not answer, because the left-back Tierney had also come up at this time.

Coming to the rib area, Trossard pretended to shoot directly from a distance. Central defender Shorrocks jumped up to block the shot, but he let his center of gravity go directly. So Trossard dribbled the ball to the left again, and Joe Allen, who was chasing back, almost collided with Shorrocks!

"Oh my God! He is so good at dribbling! Trossard has entered the penalty area, and other players have returned to defense in time. Now Trossard has no space. He can only cross the ball, but..."

Trossard's left-foot cross flew directly out of the baseline.

"It was almost there, but the opportunity has been created." The commentator of CCTV praised it. "This breakthrough is very sharp. It seems that this winger from Belgium is not afraid of the Premier League, even though he has never played in the Premier League."

Stoke City served the goal kick, but with two high points in the middle, Dendoncker and Rodri, it was difficult for Shaqiri in the middle to grab the first point. Under the protection of 191cm tall Rodri and 188cm tall Dendoncker, center back Maguire controlled the ball.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Facing the opponent's striker Berahino's pressing, Maguire was not in a hurry to send the ball out, but looked up to observe the situation at the far end.

"It's too late!" Ruben Dias opened up space and reminded him, waving his hand to indicate that Maguire could pass the ball to him. But Maguire did not pass the ball to Dias, but directly passed it long!
