As Wei Le said, Aston Villa is now in a state of lack of offensive power.
In the opening stage, the Wolves without Rodri seemed a little overwhelmed. Kevin McDonald and Jack Pearce's partnership obviously did not have the control ability when Rodri was on the field.
Sometimes, when the ball was passed to McDonald, McDonald really had difficulty in making any quick reactions. Usually, he paused for two or three seconds after receiving the ball before thinking about how to pass the ball.
Opportunities are fleeting, so Wolves did not benefit much from the midfield.
Aston Villa also got some opportunities by focusing on robbing McDonald.
The most threatening time was when Grealish drove straight into the penalty area from the left after receiving the pass, but he really dribbled the ball a little too much, and when he thought about passing the ball, he was already surrounded.
Anyway, when the ball was broken out, the striker McCormack on standby on the penalty area line got the ball, but in the absence of anyone guarding him, he seemed very panicked, and his hasty long shot flew high into the stands.
Wei Le frowned. Aston Villa's gains in these few times were mainly due to Kevin McDonald's lack of support and insufficient midfield control.
On the one hand, under the tactical system designed by himself, Rodri's position requires higher requirements for players, and Kevin McDonald is not a player who is good at this position.
Under Wei Le's design, the player in Rodri's position should play a role in intercepting the opponent's pass and re-launching the attack. It is equivalent to the hub that must be passed when the attack is launched.
Rodri does not need to make many exquisite passes. He only needs to control the ball and pass it to more creative players, such as Jota, Edwards who played in this game, and Morgan Gibbs-White who sat on the bench.
And now Kevin McDonald on the field seems a little overwhelmed. On the one hand, his ball control ability is not strong. Sometimes he is unwilling to carry the ball forward, but likes to pass the ball on the spot.
On the other hand, his vision is not as wide as Rodri's, and sometimes he can't see his teammates in a better position, so it's not appropriate to give him the job of dealing cards in the middle.
Since he can't do it well, let someone else do it. Don't let him think too much, just pass the ball to the person closest to him. Wei Le thought of such a solution.
"Tell Edwards to go back a little and assist Kevin in passing the ball." In a dead ball, Wei Le stopped Jack Pierce who ran past him, "You too, sometimes Kevin has difficulties, you have to stay closer to him."
Pierce took the order and left.
It turned out that Wei Le's adjustment of the players' responsibilities was accurate and sharp.
Kevin McDonald is no longer restrained. After Edwards retreated to respond, he sent a lot of good balls to the wingers on both sides, but unfortunately none of them turned into threatening attacks. Wei Le was not worried, he knew that the main problem was almost solved now.
"You are too strong." Celars praised sincerely. Originally, as the head coach of the youth team, he was the head coach to lead the team to play the game. Now as an assistant coach, although he had no opinion, he was always not satisfied.
After all, Wei Le had never led a team before.
But now, Celars felt that if he were to change to himself, he might be able to see that there were some big problems on the court, but he might not be able to find out where the problem was, and he dared not make adjustments resolutely like Wei Le.
Maybe this is the difference between people. Celars gradually accepted his position as an assistant coach.
The game continued. This time it was Edwards who retreated to get the ball. He and Jack Pierce completed the position change. Jack Pierce now appeared in a relatively forward position.
Edwards passed the ball directly to Jack Pierce, but the latter had to take the ball with his back to the defensive player, and had to pass it back. Edwards was not in a hurry. He pulled the ball back and passed it to Ben Godfrey, the left back who was forward on the wing.
At this moment, the offensive rhythm suddenly accelerated. Godfrey began to sprint along the sidelines, and the Wolves' entire lineup suddenly moved forward. Godfrey did not choose the traditional bottom cross, but handed the ball to Edwards again in the frontcourt.
This time, Edwards returned to the front midfielder position. He did not stop the ball to adjust, but simply turned around, used himself as the axis of the revolving door, and stuffed the ball to the right, where right winger Graham was waiting!
Graham's sprint speed is indeed much faster than that of Portuguese winger Joao Teixeira, but Wei Le found that he is indeed fast, but there is nothing else besides being fast.
Of course, being fast is indeed aA big advantage, this time, he went straight through Aston Villa's somewhat clumsy defense and came to the baseline.
Aston Villa's five consecutive draws in September and the away loss to Preston, which led to the dismissal of former head coach Di Matteo, actually exposed the problems of the defense line, mainly due to the overall aging of the defense line.
Right back Eli Sissoko has played for Porto and Valencia, played for Lyon, and also played for Liverpool. But now, the 30-year-old Sissoko is really overwhelmed by the impact from young people.
When Sissoko arrived, Graham had already kicked the ball!
As soon as he saw Graham kicking, Wei Le's heart was half cold, the ball was too high, high and floating. But looking at the landing point of the ball, Wei Le regained his spirits, because Ziro was standing in the right position!
Ziro jumped high, pressing Chester, the Aston Villa center back, by more than half a body length. Chester was only 180 cm tall, which was not good enough in the Championship League, where most players were big and strong.
Although Graham's cross was high and floating, it landed right in front of the small penalty area. In this area, the goalkeeper was most afraid to attack - he was afraid of colliding with the defender and losing the ball in the chaos.
Therefore, Ziro was basically in a state of no interference, and he hit the floating football head-on!
The football suddenly changed direction, hit the ground heavily, and then bounced high, passed the goalkeeper's outstretched arm, and flew straight into the goal!
The ball went in! ! ! !
It was Wolves who took the lead first!
"The hammer from Poland is fearless!!"
"Who is it! Who is it! Ziro! Ziro!"
The Wolves fans who were forced to huddle in the corner of the Villa Stadium stand sang a song, and the song was particularly loud in the noisy Villa Stadium. The players also saw the jubilant yellow area in the stands. Ziro took the lead and ran to the nearby area, waving to greet the fans!
"Just play like this!! We will go home with victory!!!" Todd stood in the front row, still wearing the ill-fitting Wolves jersey that was bulged by his belly, waving the scarf in his hand, and shouted the loudest.
