Before the next knockout match against Marseille, Wolves have two league games to play. But the opponents of these two games are not particularly strong teams.

One is Swansea, which has almost locked a relegation spot, and the other is Newcastle United, which is currently ranked tenth in the league. If Wolves want to regain the fifth place, they must at least ensure victory in these two games.

In the match against Swansea, Wolves did not rotate, but gave Swansea enough respect. You know, in the last moments of the league, the energy that some teams striving to stay in the league can burst out may be something that some strong teams cannot resist.

But it seems that Swansea, which is currently stuck in the quagmire, has not adjusted.

Swansea has some players who look quite strong, such as Jordan Ayew and Andre Ayew, two strikers. In addition, Abraham, who is sitting on the bench, is also a player that Wei Le is very optimistic about.

Including Renato Sanchez, who is currently lying on the hospital bed, he was the hero of Portugal's surprise victory in the European Cup.

However, the head coach Carvalhal, who took office in the winter window, seems to have failed to turn Swansea into a team. Judging from the performance on the field, Swansea's players obviously lack cooperation. Everyone fights on their own and rarely has complex cooperation.

The Wolves players are full of fighting spirit recently.

This fighting spirit is not only because of the honors that Wolves may achieve, but also for their own development.

The World Cup is coming.

The 2018 World Cup will be held in Russia, and the World Cup is undoubtedly recognized by the world as the pinnacle of the national team level. In order to squeeze into the national team and participate in the World Cup, the Wolves players are eager to show 120% of their abilities.

Rodri is the player who needs to be least worried.

There is news from Spain that Luis Enrique, the former head coach of Barcelona, ​​is the most likely to take over as the head coach of the Spanish national team. In any case, Rodri, who has become a regular starter for the national team, will definitely be one of the members of the World Cup lineup.

But Jota and Kounde are more worried.

Portugal does not lack center forwards. Cristiano Ronaldo is currently at his peak. Valencia's Guedes and AC Milan's Andre Silva are both potential candidates for center forwards. Quaresma, who is currently in Besiktas, should also be selected into the lineup.

At this time, there is not much room for Jota to perform.

However, head coach Fernando Santos also attaches great importance to Jota. He has previously flown to England to observe Jota's games.

The problem with Kounde is that the French team is full of stars, and Kounde is used as an inward-type full-back in Wolves, not a full-back working on the wing in the traditional sense.

And the French team already has Sidibe in this position.

It is still difficult for Kounde to compete with Sidibe for a position.

It may not be so easy to convince French head coach Deschamps that Kounde can integrate into the current French team tactics.

The joy of being shortlisted is accompanied by the sadness of being eliminated. Led by Italy, the four-time World Cup champion, the "uncrowned king" Netherlands, Chile, the double champion of the Copa America, the United States, the dominant team in North America and the Caribbean, and Cameroon, the champion of this year's African Cup, all fell in the qualifiers and play-offs.

This means that whether he likes it or not, Van der Beek can take a vacation.

The English players in the team are also worried about whether they can be selected. Maguire, the center back who has performed well this season, is very likely to be selected, but it is difficult for winger Bowen to squeeze out among the English players who are full of superstars.

The players expressed their desire to go to the World Cup in these two league games.

The unity of the Wolves and the individual struggle of Swansea formed a sharp contrast. In just the fifth minute, the Wolves took the lead first. But the goal scorer was not any player of the Wolves.

It was a player of Swansea!

When Almiron's cross from the right was close to the goal, Fabianski decided to attack.

But at this time, he didn't expect a Swansea center back to rush in front of the ball! Central defender Mossen was knocked to the ground by Fabianski who was unable to dodge. The ball did not hit the Wolves player, but hit Fabianski's back!

It bounced into the goal!

The ball went in!!

Mossen, who was knocked to the ground, did not know what happened. He complained to the referee that it was an offensive foul by the Wolves, but was stopped by the captain Federico Fernandez on the field. He saw it clearly.

"It was Lucas (Fabianski) who knocked you down."

Mossen stared at Fabianski with wide eyes, and Fabianski just shook his head helplessly. In the final analysis, this is their lack of communication.The Wolves player closest to the ball was still a few steps away, and they said they could not touch the ball.

This goal was purely created by the Swansea players themselves.

It was not particularly difficult to clear the ball. Whether it was Mossen or Fabianski, they could handle the situation alone, and they could safely handle the ball, whether they held it in their arms or cleared it out.

But the two of them handled it together, and they both rushed to the landing point, and they lacked communication, so the ball was produced.

It was obviously just a matter of shouting "I'll do it, you get out of the way", but neither of them spoke, and they thought the other would take the initiative to get out of the way, but in the end, no one got out of the way.

Head coach Cavallier also shook his head off the court, and he really didn't understand why the ball was lost in this way.

An own goal completely broke the emotions of the Swansea players, and after that, the Wolves completely took the initiative in the game.

In this game, Wei Le sent Kounde to the field, mainly to find the form of the game. After being suspended in the previous round, he will get a chance to start in this game against Marseille. Kounde once again assumed the responsibility of an inward-type full-back. When the team passed the ball, he received the ball from the middle to control the ball, thus giving Tierney on the left sufficient running space.

Tierney did not live up to this tactical arrangement. After relying on his speed advantage to force Swansea's right-back Norton from the wing, he went down to the bottom line and made a reverse triangle cross to find Jovic.

Jovic then made a ground shot, which flew between Fabianski's legs, passed through the small door, and entered the big door.

The ball went in again!

It was 2-0, which happened in the 21st minute.

Shortly before the end of the first half, the third goal came. This time it was a free kick attack. Van der Beck did not shoot directly as everyone expected, but played a trick.

He passed the ball diagonally to Almiron on the wing. At this time, Almiron was not guarded by anyone, so he was able to enter the penalty area very easily and chose to shoot directly from a small angle!

Fabianski was penetrated for the third time. He thought Almiron wanted to cross the ball, so he gave up the near corner in advance, giving Almiron a chance!

"Fabianski's performance was too bad in this game. He was read by the Wolves players like a book!"
