Chapter 056: Two Consecutive Wins in the League (2)
The last few Premier League games at Molineux Stadium have been almost full, and Wolverhampton fans have gone out of their way to support the team. The 32,000-plus seat stadium is today home to more than 40,000 fans, including just over 2,000 Blackburn Rovers fans and all Wolverhampton natives.
Wolverhampton's big win away to Leeds United in their last game gave fans more confidence in their favourite team, especially the legendary 16-year-old Allen. Wang, oh, it looks like he's going to be 17 next month.
There are also scouts from many clubs in the middle of these fans, and from time to time there are some talents in the top league clubs like Wolverhampton or Blackburn, and their task is to observe these talents, make a specific assessment of their quality, and report the news to the club.
Obviously, today they are all aiming for Wolverhampton's youngsters, not to mention Wang Li and Harrielsen, and the defenders Lescott and Pitt who came off the bench in the last game also attracted the attention of these people, for young players, in the first top game, there is no need to be too prominent, as long as you can complete the tasks assigned by the manager, it means that this player can gain a foothold in the top league, for this kind of player, scouts will record it, and then they will always observe their performance.
The big screen in the stadium was still showing the players entering the stadium, and every Wolverhampton player was greeted with a round of applause from the crowd who cheered for the warriors and gave them more motivation to play. On the other hand, the Blackburn team did not have this kind of treatment, and the commentator on the scene only casually mentioned Blackburn's main list, and most of the fans in the audience did not care about it.
When the commentator announced that Wang Li was on the field, the cheers were drowned out by a scream in the southeast corner of the stadium, and the reporters cut the camera in confusion, and what caught their eyes was an oversized banner, "Alan, WeLoveYou!!" The players who had just entered the stadium were stunned by just four words, and they all turned their heads to Wang Li and looked at him with jealousy. In this regard, Wang Li could only helplessly spread out and said, revealing a "I am reluctant" expression to comfort the hearts of these teammates, in fact, his heart was also full of joy, which man would not like a large group of female fans to support him, of course, the kind of sorry for the earth.
In the locker room, Dave focused on the team's formation, although it is a set of all-out offensive tactics, but the defense must be stable, modern football to fight defense to win, this reason Dave is very clear.
There is a veteran Nairol on the back line, he is also very relieved, Nairol, a veteran who was transferred under the control of Dave, is 31 years old this year, he is a traditional Italian defender, who has played 197 games against Udinese, with 0 goals, which also reflects that Nairol has no offensive at all, so there is no need to worry about him coming forward to attack and delay the defense. In regular training, Nairol also often helps these young people in the back line, and the players also respect Nairol and will follow his commands.
In the middle line, the team's captain Kennedy's stable play reassured Dave, however, his only concern is the team's right side, since this lineup, Wang Li to act as a shadow forward, so the right side is controlled by Butler, this player's offensive ** is too strong, often will always take care of the other.
On the forward line, the partners of Harilson and Miller, as well as Wang Li's breakthrough support behind him are also very strong, thinking of Wang Li, Dave has some expectations for this game, what will he perform?
……
In anticipation of the fans in the audience, with a whistle from referee Barry, the game finally began.
In this game, Blackburn arranged a 442 formation that was biased towards attack, the goalkeeper was also Friedel, the back line had big players Neil and young player Short, fullbacks Taylor and Babel, the midfield was played by Emmeton and Glasco, who are good at attacking, as two full-backs, and the team's captain Flickroft and Tugay, who came from the new transfer this year, led the attack and defense in the middle. Oddly enough, today the head coach Lem. Sonnes didn't send Yorke on the pitch, but the forward line was made up of Andy Cole and Gallaher, and it was possible that the old and the young would complement each other strongly.
In the first 20 minutes, Blackburn's defender Babbel really suffered, the head coach asked him to focus on the defense of this black-haired kid, in the past 20 minutes has shaken him three times, in front of this black-haired boy, his defense is like a void, and after wrapping up with his teammates, this kid will pass the ball directly, which makes him distressed at the same time, but also makes the fans in the audience addicted! Watching Wang Li excel on the pitch is definitely an unparalleled pleasure.
However, what makes Dave a little relieved is that after Wang Li gets the ball, he will cooperate more with his teammates to find opportunities, this is a kind of progress, football is an eleven-man sport, and it is difficult for the Mavericks to succeed in modern football.
Wolverhampton's attacking frenzy came in waves, making Blackburn's team a little overwhelmed, they didn't expect this 'country team' to play such a ferocious attack, and remember the first meeting of the season, in their own home stadium, they easily played this team 3:0, but '30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi!' Today's game didn't seem to be as easy as it might have been.
In the first 20 minutes, Wolverhampton's cooperation played very fluently, after such a long time of training, Wang Li has also made great progress in this regard, Miller, Kennedy, Wang Li formed a full-court line through the middle line to Blackburn small penalty area, causing a great threat to Blackburn.
Wolverhampton have completed six shots on goal, three of which are extremely threatening, especially the black-haired boy who the coach has paid special attention to, the strength is really extraordinary, and the long-range sneak attack from outside the box almost turned into a score, if it weren't for the good form of goalkeeper Friedel today, maybe it would have been 3:0 by now.
In the 23rd minute of the game, on the left side, Wang Li quickly dribbled the ball again, Babel stepped forward to intercept, he drew a circle on the ball, and the tip of his right foot went straight forward, and immediately bypassed Babel, a relaxed man divided the ball, ignored the black-faced Babel, and continued to take the ball to the middle.
Babbel was furious!! This is the fourth time, and it is an insult to him in this way, and the cheers of the fans in the stadium stands are like a sarcasm to Babbel, which makes his mind extremely congested, and he immediately turns around and directly confronts Wang Li who has just run away is a fierce back tackle! Definitely not the ball!
Wang Li felt that his heel was directly hit by a strong impact and wanted to 'fly' forward, his body fell straight to the grass, and then his left leg seemed to be a little numb, he got up and sat up, covered his leg, and checked the situation. Fortunately, it was just a skin injury, but Wang Li still rubbed his calves with grinning teeth, sat on the grass, and pretended not to get up.
The foul was too obvious, and it was at Molineux Stadium, and the referee Barry saw it clearly, undoubtedly a malicious foul! He ran over and pulled out a red card and waved it at Babbel to expel him from the game.
Wolverhampton fans in the stands were furious when they saw Babbel's bad behavior and dared to hurt their idol! Babbel slowly walked towards the player's tunnel, and when he passed the female fan stand in the southeast corner, a large 'hidden weapon' flew directly over, what mobile phones, jewelry, cosmetic boxes, etc., I didn't even know that the beautiful fan threw a pair of high heels directly to Babbel's head, fortunately he flashed fast, otherwise he would definitely become the first player in the history of English football to be injured by high heels on the field. Even the other male fans in the audience sympathized with Babbel a little, and they were played one after another on the court, and they were 'hurt' by a large group of female fans when they left the stadium.
Seeing this situation, the players on the field all looked at the black-haired boy who was sitting on the ground rubbing his legs with a strange look, and said in his heart, handsome is good, and this kid's future Yanfu is absolutely indispensable.
At this time, the commentator was not willing to be lonely, and immediately said: "Oh, our Alan seems to be injured, that damn Blackburn player really has no work ethic, this kind of person should be banned for life, in the face of such a young Allen, he can actually get off his feet, it's really hateful, I hope Allen is okay!" It was Wolverhampton's free-kick, but it wasn't a good position. ”;
