No. 141: Twenty consecutive wins in League One!
For Wang Rui to win the League One Player of the Month for three consecutive months, the Daily Mail takes it for granted: Wolves played five League One games in October and are the only team to keep all of them winning, and Wang is the most important contributor to Wolves' victory.
In five games, Wolves have scored a total of 17 goals, the most of any team in League One. In those five games, Wang scored nine goals and assisted four, and Wolves had thirteen goals directly related to him!
That is to say, more than three-quarters of the goals are directly related to him!
This fully shows his importance to Wolves, and it also shows that Wolves' ability to win all five games is inseparable from his stable and important performance.
Therefore, he was elected the best of the month for a well-deserved and deserved one.
Now the defenders of the League One team are no longer able to stop Wang from moving forward. Now all he has to do is continue to perform well in the cup competition and lead Wolves to continue to create miracles.
……
After being criticized by Ince, Wang Rui thought for a long time, and finally he agreed with Ince's statement that the midfield may not be the brightest star on the field, but it must be the most important position of a team.
The midfielder is, in a sense, the dominant player on the football pitch. A great midfielder can dominate a team, or a game!
It's like being a commander on the battlefield, commanding your own army to victory. It may be a little less dazzling, but it is the most important thing for the team's victory.
In addition, when the forward is weak, you can step up. Old Inces said that winning is the essence of football, as long as it can help the team win, it doesn't matter what position you are. The important thing is to contribute to the team in the most suitable position!
Wolves continue their away trip on 7 November when they take on promoted Masvindon. Wang Rui returned to his position in this game, concentrating on passing the ball to the two strikers.
In the twelfth minute of the first half, Wang Rui broke through the opponent's two backs, and made a diagonal pass, and Peter rushed to the horse!
The Wolves striker fired a low shot from the right rib of the penalty area, and the football went into the net, and the Wolves led 1-0!
In the 27th minute of the first half, Wang Rui combined with Kevin Foley on the left flank, and he found an opportunity from outside the box to shoot a long shot. The football was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper, Kevin Foley took two steps forward and shot with one kick, and the score became 2-0!
In the twentieth minute of the second half, the Wolves midfielder made a successful steal, and Wang Rui and Peter continued to play a one-two cooperation, tearing apart the opponent's defense in one fell swoop. He made a diagonal pass, the ball passed through the gap between the two defenders, and Peter took two steps forward and fired a heavy shot to make it 3-0.
In the case of a big lead, Ince began to make substitutions, successively replacing Wang Rui, Tony Dinen and Craddock, who had not been able to rest during this time, and the Wolves finally defeated the opponent 3-1 and won 15 consecutive victories in League One!
At the end of the game, although Wang Rui did not score, Ince praised him in front of the whole team, saying that he played better in this game than the previous game.
On November 17, Wolves, who returned to their home stadium, won 4-1 against Brighton & Hove Albion. Wolves win 16th in a row in League One! In this game, Peter shone brightly, scoring four goals.
On November 24, Wolves challenged Hudders away, Wang Rui, who had not scored in two games, suddenly broke out, and in the twentieth minute of the first half, he broke through to the opponent's penalty area from the left side and suddenly shot a cold arrow!
The ball pierced the opponent's goalkeeper and Wolves took a 1-0 lead.
In the first half, in the 39th minute, Peter forced a breakthrough in the middle and shot angrily on the penalty line, and the football went into the net, and the score became 2-0.
Wolves won the game with a score of 2-0 thanks to the goals of the twin stars, extending their winning streak to 17 consecutive wins!
Fast forward to December, and Wolves have a very important League Cup game in addition to League One, where they will compete with Chelsea for a place in the semi-finals!
At the same time, the FA Cup is also about to start, which means that Wolves will play on three fronts. Wolves play in the second round of the FA Cup on 1 December, hosting League Two side Dagenham.
Wolves won 4-0 to secure their first FA Cup win and reach the third round of the FA Cup.
Four days later, they moved on to League One to host Millwall. Wolves defeated their opponents 3-1 without suspense and won 18 consecutive victories in League One!
Some media shouted: Wolves are two games away from 20 consecutive wins in League One!
On December 6, the Player of the Month of the Month was announced, and Peter was voted the Player of the Month. Wang Rui didn't have any sense of loss in his heart, and gave his friend a thumbs up. Peter was excited, but he couldn't get excited when he looked at Wang Rui.
He thought for a moment and said, "Wang, I can also get the best for three months in a row!" ”
Wang Rui smiled lightly and said, "Yes, every time I assist you in the future, you will invite me to drink once." ”
When Peter heard this, his face became unsightly. He calculated in his heart that in those games last month, several of his goals were assisted by Wang Rui. The more he calculated, the more ugly his face became, and finally said flatteringly: "Wang, look, let's discuss, how about two assists and one drink?" ”
Wang Rui thought for a while and said: "In this way, if you can score a goal in the game against Chelsea, you don't need to invite me to drink!" ”
Peter was stunned for a moment, and his face was difficult to look at again, Chelsea, that's Chelsea!
"If you can't do it, one assist, no room for negotiation!"
These words aroused Peter's ambition, and he patted his chest and said, "Isn't it just a goal, good!" I'll show you how I broke down the Chelsea goal! ”
As soon as these words fell, there was applause, and his teammates gave Peter a thumbs up and said, "Heroic! ”
"Awesome!"
"Ambitious!"
These words added fuel to the fire, and Peter held his head high and said, "Brothers! The victory over Liverpool is the credit of the king, so the victory over Chelsea is up to me! ”
"This hero, you can't always let him be alone, because it's too unfair!"
……
The League Cup semi-final against Chelsea is on December 20. On December 10, the results of the draw for home and away games came out, and Wolves finally gained home advantage!
In the first four rounds of this season's Carabao Cup, Wolves were unusually unlucky, and all of them were away from home. It was their first home game in the Carabao Cup this season, which gave Wolves some confidence.
As soon as the draw results came out, the whole of Wolverhampton fell into an inexplicable euphoria, perhaps home advantage can close the gap between the two teams. Wolves fans have said that they want Chelsea to experience the "enthusiasm" of Wolverhampton City!
The Daily Mail commented: Wolves' confidence is rising rapidly after the win away at Liverpool, and God has finally favored them this time, they can stop travelling long distances and can wait at home for Chelsea.
As a League One side with modest financial status, Wolves usually play away from home by train. The long journey was physically and mentally taxing, and this time they were finally able to play this important match without having to take the train.
Playing at home, Wolves can play against formidable opponents amid the huge shouts of the fans. For them, it's precious. Maybe they can do it again – beating Chelsea and reaching the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup!
The Guardian commented: "Wolves are finally back at home, but we can also understand that Wolves are finally coming to an end to their winning streak.
Four consecutive wins in the Carabao Cup, with Wolves winning on the road, shows that Wolves are very good at playing away games. If they continue to play away from home in this round, there may be a slim chance to do a miracle. But what does God portend when they are on their home turf?
This is the end of their League Cup!
……
Obviously, the Guardian's rhetoric was unreasonable, but it did not cause offending because Wolves were at a low ebb when they played Liverpool. In that game, except for Gerrard's eye-catching performance, the other players performed very averagely.
Torres, for example, was inactive throughout the game.
But morale is high at this time for Chelsea, who have won three in a row in the Premier League!
In the Champions League, Chelsea have already secured a place in the group after five rounds. In other words, they have to perform well in both important competitions.
Against Chelsea like this, Wolves are lucky not to lose by a big margin.
The opposition is formidable, and although Wolves have the advantage of being at home, most of the media believe that they are unlikely to reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
The Times is very straightforward: Chelsea are the finishers of the dark horse Wolves!
……
Wolves ignored the media claims as they continued to win in League One as they built momentum for Chelsea. On December 8, Wolves defeated promoted Marceltenham 3-0 at home, winning 19 consecutive League One victories!
On December 15, Wolves challenged Calisle away, and with Wang Rui's long-range shot in the 39th minute of the first half, Wolves won 1-0 and retreated, and they won an amazing 20-game winning streak in League One!
In five days' time, they will face Chelsea!
Can Wolves, who have won 20 consecutive victories in League One, create a miracle again?
