At home, Wolves showed amazing fighting spirit and launched a fierce attack on the opponent's defense line from the first minute of the game.

Even a player with a wide coverage like Kante is outnumbered and made frequent mistakes under the double-teaming of Wolves players. Kante's strengths are his extremely low center of gravity and amazing sense of balance.

But Rodri was not at all inferior to Kante in the one-on-one confrontation with Kante, and several times he even snatched the ball directly from Kante's feet.

Such a midfield duel was wonderful. Zhan Jun, who was responsible for commentating the game, commented during the halftime break, "I think the excitement of this match between the third and fifth teams in the league is no less than that between the top two teams in the league."

"The games with Manchester City are basically one-sided. They have been unbeaten in 14 games so far and are at the top of the league. Manchester United has a very obvious Mourinho element. The madman Mourinho has injected the genes of defensive counterattack into this team."

"In this game, Chelsea, ranked third in the league, and Wolves, ranked fifth in the league, fought very well. Both sides played well and had offense and defense. For football fans, this is the most exciting game."

That's what he said, but by the end of the first half of the game, neither side scored a goal.

There were quite a few shots from both sides, and the quality of the shots was also remarkable. Most of the shots hit the goal range.

Therefore, the goalkeepers of both sides became the focus of this game. Martinez, who was high-profile and low-profile, was really explosive in this game. The relatively high degree of unexpectedness is actually a positive attribute for Martinez.

Wei Le said he was "crazy when people came"! In this game, the 40,000 seats at the Wolves' home stadium, Molineux, were basically filled. Playing in a packed stadium, Martinez was not nervous, but more relaxed!

"Come on!" After Martinez saved a shot, he even learned from the martial arts masters in action movies and hooked his defeated opponent to provoke.

The fans of the Wolves were also very respectful. After every successful save, they would cheer and applaud very cooperatively, as if the Wolves had scored a goal!

On the Wolves side, although Jovic did not continue his good scoring form, as an all-around center forward in front, he fulfilled his tactical duties very well.

Therefore, his rating after the end of the first half was even higher than 7, which is rare for a striker who did not score.

The wingers on both sides, Bowen on the right and Trossard on the left, frequently cut inside in this game and created threats in the ribs. Bowen on the right even reminded some Chelsea fans present of Robben, who still had some hair back then!

At that time, Robben, who was playing for Chelsea, had not yet formed the trick of "the whole world wants him to cut inside but can't defend", but Robben's sudden breakthrough at that time also made Chelsea fans feel what "Peter Pan" is in advance.

But the "Peter Pan" in this game wore the home yellow jersey.

After the first half, the head coaches of both sides did not make any large-scale adjustments. Frankly speaking, neither Conte nor Wei Le thought there was anything wrong with their tactics.

At this stage, it depends on the players' performance!

But in the end, Chelsea players were better.

In the 70th minute, according to coach Zhang Lu, this is the "peak period of scoring", because at this stage of the game, the physical fitness of the players on both sides has entered a bottleneck period.

At this time, players are more likely to make mistakes, and mistakes are more likely to cause goals and goals.

And Wolves relaxed at this time.

Ruben Dias, who has been the most stable this season, made a big mistake. During the backcourt pass, his pass to the goalkeeper was soft and weak, and the pass was still a ball in front of him!

Hazard's eyes lit up, and he caught up with the ball in one start.

This also exposed the danger of Wolves' 3-2 ball-playing system, that is, when there are only three central defenders in the backcourt, the protection of the ribs is actually completely insufficient.

This also led to a serious lack of support between the defenders after losing the ball in the backcourt.

Maguire couldn't help at all!

"Damn it!" Martinez had to play one-on-one with Hazard himself!

But Hazard didn't want to waste more time with Martinez. Of course, he knew that Martinez was good at saving single shots, so he just reached the top of the penalty area and shot a lob!

Martinez deliberately controlled the distance from the offensive player. He was betting that Hazard was unlikely to lob, but would use his own skills to try to pass Martinez.

When Martinez saw the football flying over his head, his heart sank.

He bet wrong.

The first ball came like this, Hazard

But Wolves have not learned their lesson yet. They seemed a little flustered during the period when they just lost the ball.

In the 75th minute, Wolves' Dendoncker tried a very irresponsible lob pass, which was cleared by Kante. Attacking midfielder William immediately launched a counterattack and passed the ball directly to the attacking midfielder Pedro!

Pedro passed the ball to Hazard, who raised his foot outside the penalty area and shot!

A lob shot!

From the TV screen, you can see that the ball drew a C, bypassed all the eyes staring at the ball, and then turned into the far post of the goal!

The ball went in again!

Two goals in five minutes, Wolves fell behind 0-2!

Wei Le was standing on the sidelines at the time. Although he was expressionless, he could feel that his heartbeat stopped for a beat, and the feeling of suffocation made him dazed.

He wanted to do something, but he was not firm enough at that time and was hesitant.

And hesitating, time entered the last ten minutes of the game.

At the last moment of the game, in the 91st minute, Haaland, who was substituted, seized Christensen's mistake in handling the ball and passed the ball to Trossard on the left. The latter's 45-degree long pass found Almiron at the far end.

Almiron knocked back very calmly, and Haaland poked it!

Courtois, who played well in this game, really had no way to deal with this ball.

The time was almost up. In the final stage of the game, the ball flew back and forth in Chelsea's continuous passing, but Wolves just couldn't grab it.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, it was already 95 minutes.

But even after 1-2, there were still a few minutes left, and Wolves were unable to score another goal in this time.

Wei Le reviewed everything that happened in this game, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. Now, he finally calmed down. He pushed open the door of the locker room.

The locker room immediately became quiet.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not Ferguson, I won't turn on the hair dryer." As soon as Wei Le opened his mouth, the serious and somewhat tense atmosphere immediately relaxed.

Make jokes when you lose, and don't be too proud when you win.

"You did your 100%, which should not be criticized, but praised." Wei Le paused, "But this game exposed a lot of problems."

"The biggest problem exposed in this game is that we often get into trouble when playing against strong teams. This trouble is not even caused by the opponent, but by ourselves."

Ruben Dias lowered his head a little disappointed when he heard this. Of course, others knew that Wei Le was not just pointing at Ruben Dias, but everyone else.

"Go back and analyze it. Tomorrow's arrangement is afternoon training. Leave time for everyone to adjust themselves in the morning-the New Year's schedule is just halfway through, and there is still a lot to do."
