No. 241: Sorry!
Wang Rui realized that the fans were calling him, and he was very interested in this nickname, so he excitedly rushed to the bottom of the stands where the Wolves fans were and yelled at them.
CSKA Moscow, who has a lot of experience in European competitions and won the UEFA Cup in '05, didn't expect that Wolves, who were returning to Europe after 38 years, would take the lead at the Luzhniki Stadium, and the home fans couldn't believe their eyes.
Ince, who was standing in the command area, had a smile on his face, foul tactics? Do you think foul tactics will stop the king?
How do you know that Wang has a profound free kick technique!
I said long ago, you can't stop him!
Sky TV commentator Kent lamented: "In the last game of life and death with Shakhtar, Wang and Peter scored a beautiful free kick together, and in this game they once again staged a wonderful free kick combination, and the free kick tactics of Wolves are commendable!" ”
"Two away goals, whether or not Wolves win the game in the end, have laid a solid foundation for the second leg and back at home, they have a good chance of progressing to the next round!"
"In other words, the dark horse of the Wolves will continue to move forward!"
Wang Rui's goal was a big blow to CSKA and a great boost to the morale of the Wolves players. After the restart, CSKA got lost in the mad wolf tactics and the Wolves launched a tidal wave of attacks towards their penalty area!
In the twenty-first minute of the second half, Kenting stepped in and shot from a distance of more than 30 meters from the goal, and the football exploded to the left side of the goal like a cannonball!
Akinfeev struggled to save the ball from the bottom line and tried to keep the goal open!
Twenty-fifth minute of the second half. Wang Rui and Bale who came up with the assist cooperated on the left side, tearing apart the opponent's defense in one fell swoop, and Bale shot hard in the penalty area. Football is out of the door!
Five minutes later, Wolves made a comeback, Peter received a wonderful pass from Wang Rui in the penalty area, and fired a low shot under the interference of two central defenders, Akinfeev struggled to block the football back!
The astute Bale made up for the shot and was saved by the quick-reacting Akinfeev!
CSKA is in jeopardy and Wolves could widen the gap at any moment. The home fans were nervous and anxious, and they had to wake up their players with loud shouts.
CSKA after withstanding a wave of wolves, a frenzied offensive wave that lasted for more than ten minutes. finally relieved himself and launched a sharp counterattack against the Wolves.
Seeing that there was not much time left in the game, Ince waved his hand and motioned for his players to recycle the defence. He's going to keep the win until the end of the game.
However. With three minutes to go, a tenacious CSKA took advantage of a corner kick to level the scores.
The goal was scored by striker Dezaguev over the in-form Craddock.
CSKA was demoralised after the equaliser and will be looking to use the final minutes of the game to take the lead. Time. The whole stadium turned into a sea of red, and Wolves were like a boat in the red waves. There is a danger of being subverted at any time.
Fortunately, under the unity of all the players of the Wolves team, they failed to do so, and as the referee's whistle sounded at the end of the game, the two sides ended the game with a score of 2-2, and the Wolves retreated!
After the game, the Wolves players were happy with the result and realised they were not far off to complete the old Ince's goal.
Ince, however, was not satisfied, saying in his post-match press conference: "We could have left with a win but unfortunately got a draw, and the blame is mainly on me. ”
"If we don't retreat when the opposition is more attacking, we are more aggressive...... We'll be able to walk away with a victory! ”
He sighed and said, "However, I am very confident that we will advance to the next round!" ”
Speaking of the key figure in the game, he believes that it was Wang Rui: "I said that no one can stop him, he did his part very well, not only sent a lot of beautiful passes to his teammates, but also scored that wonderful free kick!" ”
Forced to a draw at home, CSKA boss admits his side have little hope of progressing to the next round: "Wolves are difficult to play at home, they beat Shakhtar at home in the last round and we have little hope of qualifying. ”
"However, we will not give up any hope, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we will strive for it with 100% effort!"
……
Wolves were able to score two goals away from home and finish the game 2-2, with major European media believing they had better hopes of qualifying.
"Wolves will continue to be on the table in the UEFA Cup, and Wang will be in good form again in this game after a big home win over Shakhtar in their last game," said Milan Sport. ”
"Not to mention that he played the over-the-top pass to Peter and planned the first goal for Wolves, just to say that his direct free-kick was amazing."
"In the last League Cup, maybe a superstar will come out of nowhere!"
The French team newspaper praised Wang Rui: "In the first leg of the first round of the knockout round, Wolves lost 0-3 at the feet of the Ukrainian team, at that time, the British media believed that the main reason for the Wolves defeat was Wang's absence, and set off a storm of public opinion. ”
"The importance of the king to Wolves cannot be overstated. In the second leg, Wolves staged a miracle comeback, and Wang was directly related to four of the goals, two of which he scored himself. His second goal, in particular, simply shocked the whole of Europe! ”
The Spanish newspaper Ace said: "The dark horse of Wolves is full of color! ”
"Real Madrid are said to have put their sights on the king, who have performed well in the UEFA Cup, and it is reported that they will make an offer to Wolves in the near future!"
Wolves were also given a lot of praise in England for a fantastic and great game in Moscow.
Some media have even repeatedly mentioned the fact that Wolves are only a second-tier team in England, which they use to show that the level of professional league in England is very high.
The Daily Mirror said: "Three of last season's Champions League semi-finals were Premier League teams, and the two finalists were also Premier League teams. If that wasn't enough to say a lot about the level of football in the English league, then Wolves' ability to qualify early from the group as group winners, and now have a better chance of reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, is enough to show how high the level of the English league is! ”
"You know, Wolves are only a Championship team, not a Premier League team!"
Regarding the Spanish media report that Real Madrid intends to buy Wang Rui, the English media are both proud and a little disappointed, because in their hearts, the Premier League is the best league in the world today, if Wang goes to Real Madrid......
The Sun said: "It is said that a number of Premier League giants have made another offer to Wolves, vowing to keep Wang in the Premier League, among which the most positive performance is still Liverpool, whose price has been raised to 40 million!" ”
"Liverpool's 40 million is not the highest price in the Premier League, Manchester City has opened the price to 50 million in order to get the midfielder who has just turned 19!"
Some people expressed doubts about this news, because Manchester City offered AC Milan 100 million, hoping to get Kaka, in this case, what did they buy Wang Rui for?
Because both of them are the kind of aggressive midfielders who overlap on the pitch, can Manchester City be so strong that one of them can sit on the bench?
What is strange is that Wang Rui's name has never appeared in the transfer rumors, but if you think about it carefully, this is reasonable, after all, Wang Rui and Ferguson have broken up.
Ferguson, who has been strong all his life, does he want to bow to this young player he once gave up?
It seems unlikely, how long can Alex Ferguson remain in the United manager's position? Is it possible for you to let him go against his usual style of doing things at such a time?
……
Back at Wolverhampton, Wolves were soon in the Championship as they were at the top of the table.
On March 14, the 39th round of the Championship began, and Sheffield United, who were only second in place on goal difference, failed to take advantage of the opportunity and lost 1-2 at home to Derby County, missing a great opportunity to overtake the score.
Burnley, who were previously third and two points less than Wolves, seized their chance to beat Nottingham Forest 5-0 at home. With this big victory, they overtook Wolves by one point and climbed to the top of the standings!
With Wolves playing in the UEFA Cup, the organisers postponed their game by a day. The best news for Wolves is that they face Charlton Athletic in this round, who are now last of all Championship teams.
Almost everyone thinks Wolves can easily win Charlton Athletic at home and get back to the top of the table, but Ince told his players: "Any team that is relegated will burst out with amazing energy when they are relegated, so we should take this game seriously and not have any thoughts of taking the opponent lightly!" ”
The Wolves players were unimpressed, believing Ince had been too careful. At four o'clock in the afternoon of the 15th, the game officially started at Molinox Stadium, and Ince only sent half of the main team to face it.
Ince's fears were confirmed in the first half, with Charlton playing very hard and ending the first half with a 1-0 scoreline.
Soon after the start of the second half, seeing that the situation on the field did not improve, Ince sent the Wolves twin stars on the field, hoping to change the passive situation.
After the Wolves twin stars came on the field, they effectively strengthened the Wolves attack, and Peter took advantage of the mistakes of the opposing defenders to grab the ball in front of the penalty area after five minutes on the field, and then shot hard!
Football went into the net, and Wolves equalized!
In the 32nd minute of the second half, Wang Rui cooperated with the substitute Bale on the left side, Bale inserted into the penalty area, and then shot hard!
The next moment, the ball flew over the goal line and into the net, and Wolves overtook the score!
With goals from Peter and Bale, Wolves turned the scores around and won at home in a hard-fought way to regain their top spot!
With seven rounds left in the Championship, the battle for the top spot is still tense, and the top spot could change at any time! (To be continued......)
