"The referee gave Everton a chance." Commentator Martin Taylor commented bluntly, "This ball is a complete penalty!"

He has reason to say so, because from the replay, Michael Keane's pulling action is very obvious. Not only did he pull the jersey with his right hand, but he also tried to pull Trossard's chest with his left hand.

If Trossard fell down like this, then within the first 10 minutes, Wolves would even have a chance to lead their opponents 2-0.

In that case, I'm afraid the game would be over.

"Don't blow the whistle for this action?!" Wei Le saw Trossard being pulled, and flew up from his chair in a hurry and rushed to the fourth official, "This is a complete penalty!"

"Honestly, you go up and blow it for him, I think you blow it better than him."

The referee of this game was Probert, who had missed the entire 15/16 season due to a back injury. There are also reports that because of his physical condition, it is difficult for him to pass the physical test next year, and Probert may retire after the end of this season.

The fourth official was Darren England. After hearing what Wei Le said, he looked at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, Wei Le did not cause much trouble. He muttered something in Chinese and left.

Wei Le could understand it. After all, this was Everton's home court.

18 minutes.

Marcos Kilman dribbled the ball forward and keenly found Trossard, who was in the middle of the opponent's defense. After he crossed the midfield line, he decisively made a long pass! At almost the same time, Trossard's yellow figure jumped out of the crowd, and in almost one second, he opened a distance of three or four meters!

"Offside!"

The anxious Everton player shouted.

But Godfrey looked to the side and saw that the assistant referee was just running forward, indicating that he did not think it was offside!

The ball was passed just right and landed at the top of the penalty area. No one could grab it at the first point. After the ball bounced on the ground once, Trossard used his left foot to hook the ball that was about to fly out of control back!

But at this time, the ball had already reached the penalty area.

Pickford rushed out and stretched his body to the maximum, and Trossard had to make a decision immediately!

He chose to shoot!

But the football did not pass through Pickford's legs as he wished, but hit Pickford's straightened left leg. Michael Keane, who rushed over, immediately cleared the ball out of the danger zone.

Trossard was so regretful!

Isn't it regretful? This ball is simply one of the best opportunities for Wolves since the start of the game!

In the 20th minute, Everton, who was defending and counterattacking, had a chance. Rooney's long pass found Walcott who broke through the wing. The latter's inverted triangle pass was finally kicked into the sky by the anxious Rooney.

"Alas." Everton fans on the sidelines sighed, and there were even sporadic boos.

A few minutes later, Wolves' offensive resumed, 25 minutes.

It was the central defender who was in control of the ball again. Marcos Kilman played well in this game and took on Maguire's work of passing the ball. It was mainly because Everton set the tone of the game at the beginning of the game, and entered a low defense from the first minute of the game.

No wonder the central defender of Wolves had so many opportunities to hold the ball.

In this game, Jovic was watched to death. It seemed that the Wolves would not let Jovic go to the sides to support. No matter where Jovic went, there was a player around him "serving closely".

Marcos Kilman suddenly sent a low pass, aiming at De Paul on the right. At this time, the Wolves' formation became a 4-3-3 arrangement, with Rodri in the middle and back, rarely advancing, and De Paul once again became the organizer of the attack.

Although he is changing to the role of an engineer midfielder, his innate creativity as a South American player has not been lost.

Wei Le sometimes has a feeling that South American players have a kind of spirituality.

European players are becoming more and more homogeneous. Most of them grew up in a systematic youth training environment and can be said to be professionally trained. There may be some creative players, but it always makes people feel that they are... reading from a script.

"Reading from a script" here is not a bad thing, nor is it a compliment. It is just a feeling that is difficult to describe.

But if you turn your attention to some leagues in South America, many players have not received formal youth training. When they were young, they played street football in squares or small parks. This makes them have no "rules" and they mostly rely on their feelings on the court.

Free and natural, all kinds of actions come at your fingertips.

When you ask why you do this,I'm afraid he couldn't explain why, but he just felt like doing it, and then he did it. Maybe these actions are not very "reasonable", and according to the European youth training habits, they may still be criticized, but they can bring some surprises.

European players' play will only make people feel "reasonable", but behind the "reasonable" is a rare surprise.

For example, when Marcos Kilman passed the ball, De Paul had a strong feeling that he wanted to play a trick!

So, people saw De Paul's left foot like a spoon to scoop up the meatballs in the bowl smoothly, catching the rolling football, and then passing it behind him with his heel!

Who is there? !

There is Gonçalves!

Jota habitually came behind the defense line to pull the defense line in the subsequent opportunities, so as to pull out the rib space for the winger to insert. But I didn't expect that De Paul, who was holding the ball with his back, didn't even look behind him and passed the ball!

Goncalves, who was retreating, made a quick decision, turned quickly, and led the ball forward. At this time, he faced the goalkeeper directly!

Pickford was also very surprised, but his habit drove him not to press too much forward to oppress the opponent, but stayed on the small penalty area line to prepare for the shot.

But the Portuguese midfielder didn't care about these, he was very decisive.

Near the penalty spot, Godfrey stretched out his hand and could touch Goncalves. Goncalves knew that it was now!

He leaned back and kicked a curve ball with his left foot. Although Pickford touched the ball at the first time, he couldn't stop the ball from flying into the goal. The ball changed its line and flew into the goal along the near post of the goal! ! !

The ball went in!

2-0!

Everton players were dumbfounded. Going in was understandable, but De Paul, when did you evolve? !

From the perspective of Everton players, De Paul didn't even look back. How did he see Goncalves' position?

The same problem also existed for Wolves players.

"How did you see me?" Gonçalves scored a goal, but he was still stunned. He didn't have time to celebrate, and ran back to ask De Paul.

De Paul smiled and said, "I don't know, but I thought you were there, so I passed it."

I thought you were there, so I passed it.

Not only Gonçalves, but everyone was speechless by this statement. It made sense, but it also made no sense.

But isn't football like this, full of inspiration?
