Yes! What if we don't win?

For Wolves, it's no big deal. If they draw with Manchester City, it's even something to boast about.

Even if they lose, no one will blame Wolves.

But what if Manchester City loses...? Guardiola frowned.

He saw the remarks at the pre-match press conference. In most media, the remarks of Wolves coach Willer were understood as bluffing. But some media thought what he said made sense.

Should the pressure be on Manchester City?

Guardiola laughed. How is that possible?

It's really possible!

Estiart, the coach in charge of observing the players' body language and micro-performance, who is also Guardiola's old assistant, said to Guardiola with some concern, "The players seem to be under a lot of pressure now."

Look at the players' physical condition. De Bruyne is a little depressed, Aguero is comforting Jesus next to him, Sterling is lowering his head, and David Silva is as quiet as ever.

In the home team's locker room, in a wide room, the sound is not very loud. Everyone is whispering, and an inexplicable uneasiness permeates the environment. Of course, they can't have never encountered a game with a result of 1-1 at the end of the first half, but what Wolves encountered in this game made them feel unfamiliar.

A feeling told them that Wolves would continue to play like this in the second half.

48 minutes, 1-1.

54 minutes, 1-1.

59 minutes, 1-1.

63 minutes, 65 minutes, 72 minutes.

Guardiola thought of the second round of this season, the direct contest between Wolves and Manchester United. This was a game that he watched the entire recording and replay. After watching this game, his expression was solemn.

Wolves defended for 90 minutes of a game and did not let Manchester United score a goal.

And don't forget that Manchester United still has Lukaku, a high center forward, and can actually use more offensive methods than Manchester City. But in the end, they still failed to break the goal of Wolves.

At that time, although Guardiola did not dare to underestimate the Wolves' defense, it was definitely impossible to say how much he valued it. After all, Manchester United's state was not very good in that game.

But seeing that the game has come to the 75th minute, Guardiola found that it seemed that Manchester City's state in this game was not very good.

Every time the attack was intercepted at the most dangerous time, when it was almost possible to score a goal, there would always be hateful Wolves players rushing up and then intercepting Manchester City's attack with a tough steal.

It can be seen with the naked eye that Manchester City is a little tired, which is both physical and psychological.

Guardiola must consider a question, that is, whether to continue attacking.

In the 80th minute, Wolves' counterattack helped Guardiola make this decision. After grabbing the ball in the backcourt, Rodri, who was substituted, received a straight pass from Van der Beck, and he passed the ball to Jota who was retreating.

Jota did not stop the ball and passed it back to Rodri, who then made a long pass forward.

It looks like a big kick to try your luck, but if you look closely, in front of the ball, it is Bowen who is charging!

Bowen, Jota, and Trossard are three fast horses running in the frontcourt, while Manchester City has only three players in the backcourt, 3 to 3, and the advantage is on the offensive side!

Jota ran into the penalty area, and Bowen passed the ball horizontally to Trossard at the far end. The latter shook off Stones and made a straight pass, which was almost received by Jota. If he had received the ball, it would have been a close one-on-one opportunity.

If Ederson had made a mistake, Wolves would have overtaken the score!

"No, we can't go on like this." Guardiola stood up suddenly, walked to the sidelines, and made a gesture of retraction, indicating that the players' attack would be temporarily stopped and the defense would be strengthened.

Wolves fans breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure that lasted for dozens of minutes finally ended.

But Wolves have been restrained. Although the space left for Wolves to handle the ball has increased, they are not in a hurry to attack.

The game came to an end in such a weird balance. Wolves used up two substitutions, replacing Alphonso Davies with Tierney, and then replaced Jota with Haaland.

After the 4-minute injury time, the game will be over.

Wolves launched an attack again at this time, and Manchester City, who was caught off guard, was pressed in their own half! Rodri made a midfield move, passing the ball from the left to the right, and Bowen's cross created a corner kick opportunity.

Wei Le was refreshed, he stood up and walked to the sidelines.

When the ball was picked up, the game time had come93 minutes and 55 seconds. Logically, this was the last chance for both sides. Wolves players piled up in the penalty area, and Manchester City was also defending all the way, even Aguero returned to the penalty area.

Bowen took the corner kick.

The corner kick drew an arc, and it was an outswinging ball that turned to the back point! Godfrey headed the ball first! But his header was blocked first.

The ball was still in the penalty area, and I don’t know who swept the ball to the outside of the penalty area first, and it just bounced to Rodri’s feet. His long-range shooting skills made Manchester City players feel like they were facing a great enemy, but Rodri’s heavy artillery hit Stones’ back and bounced out again.

De Bruyne got the ball outside the penalty area, and he chose to pass the ball to Aguero outside the penalty area.

At this moment, Van der Beck stretched his legs, pushed Aguero away from the side, and got the ball himself! He was facing away from the attack and could only look up. He found that there were many black figures at the back. They were Wolves players wearing away jerseys!

So he passed the ball with his left foot!

This action was so difficult that he fell backwards and fell to the ground after passing it! But Aguero still couldn't block the 45-degree cross.

Van der Beck fell to the ground, but his eyes were focused on the ball. He saw that the ball flew from the right side of the penalty area to the left side of the penalty area at a slow speed in an arc!

Ruben Dias and Haaland have been waiting for a long time!

Ruben jumped first, and Otamendi was pressed down by him, but Ruben didn't need to deal with this ball first, because Haaland in front of him also jumped!

Stones was pressed down, and then he saw that this erratic cross actually reached his head, and behind him, Haaland jumped up! His exaggerated jumping ability made him fly exceptionally high!

He shook his head heavily, exerted his core strength, twisted his body into a bow shape, and the ball cleverly bounced on his head and then turned to the lower corner of the goal! ! !

"At the last moment, the ball was not cleared far, 94 minutes, the referee had not blown the whistle. At this time, Van der Beck controlled the ball and passed it to... Haaland!"

"Header scored!!! The ball went in!!!!!!!"

"94 minutes and 12 seconds, remember this time!! When the regular time of the game was over, Haaland received Van der Beck's cross and smashed the ball into the goal with one head!!!"

"Overtook! The score is now 1-2, but the away team is behind, and the leading team is Wolves!!!"

"They faced Guardiola's Manchester City and completed the comeback! If nothing unexpected happens, the first contest between young coach Wei Le and Guardiola will end with Wei Le's victory!!!"
