The coaching career started as a college team coach

When Wolves returned to Wolverhampton again, it was already 2018.

In this way, it seems that Wolves have been on the expedition for a year. But in fact, it was only from December 25 to January 1.

In these 7 days, Wolves played two games in the southwest of England.

First, they challenged West Bromwich away in the west, and then played away in Bournemouth.

Wolves handled two consecutive away games very well. First, they played against West Brom with all three forces and easily won West Brom 3-1. In this game, Wolves still played with half of the main players.

In this game, the Wolves, who lacked Jota, seemed to be completely unaffected by the absence of the main players and controlled the game situation from the very beginning.

Around the 15th minute, the first goal came. Rodri passed the ball to Trossard outside the penalty area, and Trossard then shot a long shot and directly broke the opponent's goal.

The score of 1-0 was maintained until the 23rd minute, and then the Wolves' right-wing explosion was effective. Almiron cut inwards to the front of the penalty area with sparks and lightning, and then made a penetrating oblique pass, which found Jovic in the penalty area.

Jovic made a slight adjustment and shot directly!

Facing this shot very close to the goal, the goalkeeper had no way to deal with it.

2-0!

If the score of 2-0 still gave West Brom players some illusions, then the third goal in the 60th minute of the second half completely cut off the opponent's hope of counterattack.

Taking advantage of the opponent's heavy pressure at the beginning of the second half, Wolves immediately launched a counterattack after intercepting the ball in the backcourt.

Wolves' penetration in the middle was effective. Gibbs White passed the ball directly to Haaland, completing the 17-year-old connection. Haaland, who replaced Jovic, could not waste this opportunity and shot directly at the goal.

3-0!

At the last moment of the game, Wolves' defensive negligence gave the opponent a close-range free kick opportunity. West Bromwich Albion midfielder Livermore seized the opportunity and scored the ball into the goal guarded by Martinez.

It was considered to save some face for West Bromwich Albion.

West Bromwich Albion's performance this season is not optimistic. Head coach Alan Pardew is to blame, and he himself is not having a good time. Some people say that he will be fired before the end of this season.

Although each team serves its own master and winning is always the goal of a professional team, Wei Le still gave Alan Pardew enough respect and said a few good words to him in the post-match interview.

After the game with West Bromwich Albion, Wolves did not return to their base camp, but went directly to Bournemouth.

Although it was two consecutive away games, the good thing was that the two away games were not far from Wolverhampton, where Wolves were located. Although the overall traffic environment in England was very worrying during Boxing Day, and Wolves were stuck on the road for several hours, at least it did not make the players too tired.

The game in Bournemouth was not as smooth as the game against West Bromwich Albion.

In this game, Bournemouth scored first.

Bournemouth played a 4-4-1-1 formation, and the 23-year-old Ryan Fraser was in his prime on the left.

Kounde's performance against Fraser was a bit clumsy. Not only did he fail to stop Fraser's breakthrough, but he also got a yellow card for nothing.

Weile, who was really worried, replaced him in the midfield.

But at the beginning of the second half, Bournemouth scored first.

This time, center forward Callum Wilson was strong and stood in position as a standing center forward, while front midfielder Joshua King passed the ball to Ryan Fraser.

Ryan Fraser brushed past Maguire and entered the penalty area, and then he didn't dribble the ball much and calmly pushed the ball into the far corner!

Martinez's vision was blocked, and when he saw the ball, he didn't have time to make too many saves.

1-0!

Bournemouth is certainly not a weak team. They have performed very steadily in recent years, so Wolves were not surprised. This goal played an unexpected role in helping Wolves cheer up.

In the 82nd minute, Wolves controlled the ball in the backcourt, while Bournemouth pressed forward against their usual practice, perhaps hoping to expand their lead in the final moments of the game.

However, this also led to a very large area of ​​space in the backcourt of Bournemouth. The two Bournemouth midfielders were really forward and could not cover the backcourt at all.

Therefore, when the left-back Alphonso Davies made a long pass forward, the Bournemouth players woke up from their dreams.

But it was too late!

Jovic was not replaced in advance in this game, and he saved a lot of physical strength. He and the central defender Cook did not lose the physical confrontation!

He leaned against Cook, the ball fell in front of him, and he passed it smoothlyHe took the ball to the inside, then bypassed Cook and rushed to the penalty area! Facing the goalkeeper, he chose to shoot directly!

The ball first hit the bottom of the goal post and then bounced into the goal!

1-1!

This is not a typical Wolves counterattack. Compared with the signature Wolves counterattack that only gets the offensive opportunity through continuous passing, this goal only took two passes.

Dendoncker grabbed the ball and passed it to the full-back Alphonso Davies, and Alphonso Davies made an imaginative long pass.

But who cares whether this counterattack is standard or not, the important thing is-a goal! Equalized!

But because Wolves came back too late, they were unable to overtake the score in the last few minutes.

The score of 1-1 took away a point at Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium.

In the two games before the New Year, Wei Le was actually quite satisfied with one win and one draw. He played away games consecutively with such a short interval, and the weather conditions were not pleasant. It was already very good to end 2017 with such a result.

At the end of the 20th round of the league, Wolves now have 40 points, ranking fifth in the league. If this result is maintained until the end of the season, they can even qualify for the Europa League!

Wolves' 2017 is over, but the devil's schedule is not over yet.

On January 2, the assembled Wolves played against the visiting Manchester United at home. Mourinho's Manchester United is currently ranked second in the league. Although there is a certain gap with Manchester City in front, it is still not a problem to crush the team behind.

Although the theme of the Wolves in this game is defensive counterattack, they were still easily won by Manchester United.

On this day, it snowed in Wolverhampton. Not only was the court slippery, but the weather was also extremely cold. Both the Wolves players and the Manchester United players were unprepared for this situation.

Although Wolves' Molineux Stadium is a modern stadium, it is not modern enough to have floor heating.

Therefore, the ball was flying in the air throughout the game.

The final score was 0-2, and Manchester United secured the victory with two long shots.

But it is worth noting that even after the snow, even in a game like Manchester United, which is unlikely to win, the home stands of Molineux Stadium were still almost full.

Wei Le learned that it was even difficult to get a ticket.

Therefore, every Wolves player gathered under the home team stand after the game to thank the fans for their support. Despite the loss, Wolves fans were not very disappointed, because the opponent was Manchester United!

After all, they were still struggling in the English League One a few years ago, and the club was in ruins. But just two years later, the question they were thinking about was whether they could play in the Champions League at the end of this season!

What a big improvement!

Even if the fans wanted to scold, they were embarrassed to say anything more when they saw these sweaty and shivering players.
