After a defeat, Wolves have more than ten days to summarize and improve. In the fourth round of the league, Wolves will face the visiting Tottenham at home.

Wolves did not continue to defend tightly in this game, but concentrated on pressing Tottenham's midfield.

Tottenham sent out a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, with Kane as the center forward, Eriksen, Dele Ali and Moussa Sissoko as the front midfielder, and Davinson Sanchez and Dier as the midfielder.

On the back line, Ben Davies is on the left, Vertonghen and Alderweireld form the central defenders, Trippier is on the right back, and French goalkeeper Lori is in the goalkeeper position.

Son Heung-min and Moussa Dembele are on the bench, but the strength of the players on the field should not be underestimated. Their personal abilities are actually much stronger than Wolves.

If Ali and Eriksen were allowed to handle the ball freely, it would be difficult for Wolves to get a chance, so the goal of Wolves in this game was to compete with Tottenham for control of the midfield.

Wolves scored the first goal.

It was a rush after the opening. Wolves grabbed the ball shortly after the opponent kicked off, and took advantage of the opportunity that Dale was too far forward to hit the ball to the ribs. Then, Van de Beek passed forward and broke through Vertonghen's defense, and Jota sent the ball into the goal before Lori.

Wolves took the lead first!

But then, Tottenham, who had recovered, scored an equalizer before the end of the first half.

Kane received Eriksen's pass, then knocked the ball to Ali, avoiding the slightly clumsy Dendoncker, and Rodri was forced to foul Ali, but the ball continued to move forward, and Kane got the ball before the central defender.

The referee gave the offense a favorable result.

Rodri didn't care that he might be about to get a yellow card, he immediately rushed towards Harry Kane. But Kane lived up to his name, sweeping the Wolves' defense like a hurricane.

Ruben Dias and Maguire's closed defense failed to form a tacit understanding, and the ball finally passed.

Moussa Sissoko, who came out from the side, picked up the ball and saved it before it finally went out of bounds. Martinez's attack was fast enough, but Ali was still a step faster, he lightly lifted the ball past Martinez.

Alphonso Davies was a step late, he threw his body out and didn't catch up. In the end, he and the ball flew into the goal together.

In the second half, Pochettino was still ready to kill, and he replaced Son Heung-min.

After Son Heung-min came on the court, he completely activated Ali, who was surrounded by big defensive players. Their passes once again broke through the Wolves' defense line. Son Heung-min passed the ball to Kane in front of the goal, and Kane pushed the ball into the goal.

1-2!

This score was finally maintained until the last moment of the game.

When Wei Le shook hands with Pochettino, his mood was also difficult to calm down. Although Wolves are newly promoted, and although more than a year ago, a head coach like Pochettino was only a figure on the TV screen for Wei Le.

But now it's time for the game. When the Wolves led by Wei Le really faced a giant like Tottenham and a famous coach like Pochettino, and lost the game, Wei Le's heart was really uneasy.

Wolves are not strong enough, and Wei Le is not strong enough.

And during the period between the two games, the results of the Wolves' Europa League group stage draw were also announced.

When assistant coach Celars came back from the draw, his face was not good. If the loss to Chelsea and the subsequent Tottenham and Manchester City have made Wei Le depressed, then the draw result of Wolves is undoubtedly worse.

Due to Wolves' UEFA points, Wolves were divided into the third tier of teams. And Wolves' strength can actually be compared with the first and second tier teams.

In the grouping process, the four teams in each group must include teams from the first to fourth tiers.

The card with the name of Wolves finally appeared in Group E, and Group E also included Atalanta, which ranked fourth in Serie A last season and entered the Europa League, and Lyon, which ranked third in Ligue 1 and entered the Europa League!

No matter which one, it's not easy to play!

The fourth team is not a strong team, it is Apollo Limassol, a team in Cyprus.

But Lyon and Atalanta are annoying enough.

In Bruno Genesio's (yes, the head coach of Beijing Guoan later), Memphis Depay was undoubtedly the core of the team, as well as Fekir and Houssem Aouar.

Ndombele was also the main force of the team at this time. In the back line, Ferland Mendy and Diakhaby's strength should not be underestimated.

(There are many nowPlayers familiar to readers are just starting their brilliant careers in Lyon, such as Kenny Tait, who played for Fulham in the 2024 season, Cornet, who played for West Ham United in the 2024 season, and Gouiri, the FM demon who later went to Rennes, etc. )

Genesio's team has a very young age structure this season, and most of the players are around 23 or 24 years old, which is the golden age for football players!

They surprised many experts by finishing fourth in the league last season. Although Lacazette, the hero of last season, had already transferred to Arsenal and went to the Premier League before the start of this season, the team is also using this money to strengthen the frontcourt and introduced Mariano Diaz and Bertrand Traore.

In this season's Europa League, they will definitely not be content to stop in the group stage.

Atalanta, on the other hand, is praised by fans as the "true blue and black". They have been among the top five teams in Serie A during this period. Head coach Gasperini also has strong players.

Alejandro Gomez took up the offensive banner, Canada's talented midfielder Cristante, Swiss midfielder Freuler and German left wingback Gosens.

Wei Le also found a talented young player named Kulusevski in their team. Although the system has high hopes for him, he has not played this season.

"We have the ability to qualify from this group, and we must do so." Wei Le set the tone for the team's goals at the coaching meeting. He gave his coaching team a heavy responsibility.
