Wei Le came to his senses before the halftime break. He quickly made some adjustments to calm the players down and make it clear that the goal of this game was not to lose the ball away from home, and then consider counterattacks and goals based on this.

But the reality is that when playing one less, Wei Le can only make limited adjustments. The essence of Wolves' defensive system is that all players participate in defense, and when playing one less, everyone must do more.

In the second half of the game, the situation was similar to the last stage of the first half. Lazio pressed forward and controlled the situation of the game, while Wolves wasted the decreasing game time in helpless clearances.

Due to the lack of support in the frontcourt, the ball hit the front, and it was difficult for the frontcourt players to control the ball. They could only keep kicking forward and then return the ball to the opponent. They launched a counterattack again, and Wolves defended again.

In the 55th minute, Wei Le replaced De Paul with Coady as the defensive midfielder; in the 60th minute, he replaced Alphonso Davies with Tierney who had returned from injury to strengthen the defense.

This also used up all the substitutions that Wolves had, and Wei Le was really helpless now.

But the good news is that the score did not change in the end, and Wolves lost to Lazio 0-2 away from home.

"We played very badly in this game." Wei Le took the responsibility at the press conference. "We were not prepared. This is the responsibility of me and the coaching staff. We did not consider all the situations when preparing for this game. Our pre-match preparations were insufficient."

"Therefore, we played very ugly and basically did not play our own football." Wei Le sighed helplessly. "It is very difficult to maintain victory in the European arena. This is a fact, so I am not desperate."

"More importantly, the knockout rounds of the Europa League are two-round. We have lost two goals now, but neither is an away goal. We still have a game to play, which is the key factor in determining whether we can advance."

"Maybe many people are expecting us to fall into despair, but what I want to say is that as a new European team, we are already making history. We also believe that we will make more history."

The last sentence was said by Wei Le in a plain tone, but the reporters sitting at the scene could feel the majestic momentum from the young head coach in front of him. Obviously a loser, he showed a more determined momentum than the winner at the post-match press conference.

The reporters suddenly felt the tragic feeling of "once the warriors leave, they will never return" from this young team.

Some media also hoped that Wei Le would break through the defense and start asking questions about the players. After all, this is an away game, and the Italian media is very aggressive. Of course, they hope that Wei Le can say something that should not be said.

But when it comes to the players, Wei Le always stands firm on one position - the players are performing very well.

"Alfonso Davies? He did everything he could. He was always very calm, running up and down to participate in the attack and defense, and always fighting," Wei Le said. "I replaced him because he could not continue to maintain the high-intensity game physically. It would be more useful to replace him with a full-back with more physical strength at this stage, right?"

When it comes to Kounde, some media criticized Kounde's pulling action as too reckless, "Kounde? No, I don't think that action was reckless. He did make a mistake and violated the rules of the game. There is nothing wrong with the penalty. But I believe that every defensive player who is eager to win will not make a better decision if he puts himself in his position."

It seems that Wei Le's "protective" answers caused a commotion in the field. Suddenly, an Italian reporter stood up angrily and said loudly in accented English, "This is simply unsportsmanlike behavior!"

Wei Le glared at the Italian reporter in front of him.

"Which media are you from?"

"This, this is not important."

"From Corriere dello Sport!" A British media reporter shouted in the audience. The Italian reporter immediately turned around and glared at the person who was speaking, and the British reporter also stared at him without dodging.

Wei Le gave a thumbs up, "Thank you for your reminder."

"Mr. Coach, answer my question!" The Italian reporter pointed at Wei Le and said.

"Answer your question?" Wei Le shook his head, "Why should I answer your question? You didn't raise your hand to ask the press officer to ask questions, and the press officer didn't allow you to stand up and ask questions. It's no exaggeration to say that your current behavior is making trouble! What do you think this place is? A vegetable market?!"

"Have you just started working as a reporter? You don't even understand the basic work order and etiquette! Is it possible that the ItalianAre all the news media as vulgar as you? "

Wei Le turned his head and glanced at the press officer who had said nothing from beginning to end. This was at Lazio's home ground, and the press officer was of course a Lazio staff member.

"Sir, you need to calm down, please sit down." The press officer reminded gently.

"Thank you for performing your duties. "Wei Le thanked the press officer sarcastically. But anyone with a discerning eye could see what he meant. Not only did the press officer not stop such blatant disruption of the order of the venue in the first place, but he also acquiesced to the Italian reporter's attack on Wei Le.

"Corriere dello Sport" is an authoritative sports newspaper in Rome, and has a good relationship with the teams in the Rome area. Don't forget, Lazio is a team in the Rome area.

It is difficult to say whether the attack of "Corriere dello Sport" has any connection with the intentions of the Lazio club.

The reporter snorted coldly and sat down. He had never been stimulated by this, and was criticized in public by a young head coach who was younger than him! But he thought about it again, wasn't the head coach still avoiding his question, but he stood up and asked the question directly, which gave the head coach an excuse.

So he raised his hand.

The press officer glanced at him obscurely, then turned his head to look at Wei Le, looking a little hesitant.

"Don't hesitate, reporter from "Corriere dello Sport", it seems that you have a problem." Wei Le noticed the press officer's small action, and smiled and pointed directly at the Italian reporter, "You ask. "

The British reporters present looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of them were responsible for interviewing the Wolves and were familiar with Wei Le. They had never seen Wei Le so angry, nor had they seen Wei Le criticize someone so fiercely.

Now, not only did Wei Le not let this matter go, but he also took the initiative to let the Italian reporter attack?!

After all, some reporters are British. They are definitely not happy that the British team was bullied in a foreign country. Now that Wei Le seems to have lost his composure, they are also a little worried.

"Don't worry." The old reporter who just reminded Wei Le of the identity of the Italian reporter is also a reporter from the local newspaper in Wolverhampton. He whispered to the worried person, "Wei is a law student, and he is very eloquent. Do you think he looks like he has lost his composure now? He clearly thought about how to refute, which made that third-rate reporter stand up. "

Is that so? The reporters looked at the stage doubtfully. At this time, the Italian reporter also stood up and took a deep breath, as if to calm himself down.

"Conde's pulling action is a serious violation of sports ethics. In my opinion, he should be punished more severely!"
