No. 256: Spiritual Leader!
Marseille completed the comeback in half-time, much to the excitement of the home fans. They were excited, but they didn't have pride on their faces, because in their eyes, there was nothing to be proud of in beating a Championship team.
When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the home fans responded with a round of applause.
It was a nightmare for Wolves in this half, not only did they allow the opposition to score two goals, but they also humiliatedly failed to have a shot on goal!
Back in the dressing room, the Wolves players were silent. This silence was tinged with desperation, because they saw no hope in the first half.
A voice broke the silence.
'Last season in the Carabao Cup, whether it was away to Liverpool or at home to Chelsea, we had the last laugh when people weren't looking for it.
"I want to ...... No matter how strong Marseille is, it should not be as strong as them! ”
Last season, Liverpool and Chelsea both reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, which represent the highest professional level in Europe.
Chelsea even reached the final, and if it hadn't been for a penalty loss, they would have broken through history and won the first Champions League trophy in the club's history!
The voice was calm, but the content of the words was very powerful, awakening the slumbering confidence and determination in the hearts of the Wolves players.
It's like Mars lighting firewood, bringing hope and warmth to people in the cold winter!
The oppressive air in the locker room began to change, and Kending looked at Wang Rui eagerly, thinking, when will I be like him, and when will I be so confident?
Peter said "sarcastically" in his heart: "Damn it, you guy, you always say these things at such times...... You just want to be a hero who saves the world?
Oakes sighed: Spiritual leaders, some people are born spiritual leaders. Although I am the captain, there is still a gap between me and the king......
What is a spiritual leader?
When the companion is hesitant and demoralized. Stand up and use your words and actions to wake up your peers and tell them that we can do it!
In times of adversity, stand up and use your actions to save the team!
"That's right!"
Ince looked in a trance, as if he had returned to his playing days, when he was the spiritual leader of England and Manchester United.
He glanced at Wang Rui approvingly and said: "Marseille is definitely not as strong as Liverpool and Chelsea, we should not despair!" ”
"Also, even though we're playing away. Lost the innate advantage, but we must not lose confidence at any time, we are Wolves, and there is no word 'give up' in our dictionary! ”
As the captain, Oakes knew it was time to speak, and he stood up and said, "Believe in yourself, we can do it!" ”
He walked to the middle of the locker room, stretched out his hand and said, "Here we are!" Brothers! ”
The crowd gathered around, and Ince came too. More than two dozen hands folded together and shouted, "We can do it!" ”
It's no longer a matter of tactics, and Wolves will have to solve the morale problem in order to take on Marseille. In order to buck the trend!
……
The atmosphere in the home team's dressing room was lively at the moment, and they did just that, and the Dutchman Zenden, who scored a brace, looked happy and talked and laughed with his team-mates.
'In the second half we have to keep putting pressure on Wolves!'
"That's right. We are not only going to win, but we are going to win big! ”
"After all, a dark horse is just a dark horse, in front of absolute strength. They can only fade the halo from their bodies, and victory can only belong to us! ”
Wolves were powerless in the first half and should be demoralized at the moment, and taking advantage of the win is something Marseille are willing to do.
How difficult it was for us to score a few more goals in the second half!
We had just won 4-1 on our home turf a few days ago and no one could stop Marseille from doing so now!
……
The second half came as scheduled, and what puzzled the Marseille players was that Wolves were not defeated as they thought, but seemed to be reborn, and they started an active battle with them in midfield.
With the passage of time, Marseille, who could not continue to expand the score, had a rare impatient mentality. In the twentieth minute of the second half, Ince finally made his first substitution decision, and he let Wang Rui come on as a substitute!
At this time, he had long forgotten what the team doctor said, and the team doctor thought that Wang Rui could only withstand ten minutes of high-intensity confrontation.
The team doctor sitting on the bench shook his head and smiled bitterly, he could not make any decisions for the manager and could only give advice.
Wolves fans, who had been silent for more than an hour, looked at Wang Rui standing on the sideline, and their gloomy eyes became brighter!
"Wolf King!"
"Wolf King!"
"Wolf King!"
They began to shout Wang Rui's nickname!
Hearing these slightly thin shouts, Wang Rui said to himself: "Boy! Countless people are waiting for you to save the team and bring out your best form! ”
At this moment, his blood surged, completely forgetting the fact that his body had not fully recovered.
Marseille fans looked at Wang Rui on the sidelines, remembered the tricks of the British exposed by the media, and couldn't help but shout: "Liar! ”
"Liar!"
"Liar!"
Wang Rui's face was difficult to look at.
The corners of Park Sung-hwan's mouth, standing in the group of reporters, turned up slightly, boy! Tonight you're on the pitch watching how your team gets eliminated!
This time I'll see how you can be a hero!
The Dutchman Cendeng, who scored two goals, looked at Wang Rui playfully. When the Marseille coach made a substitution for the Wolves team, he called the defender Cheru to his side and taught him that it was appropriate to be sure to keep Wang Rui in the air.
When the game resumed, Wang Rui underestimated the impact of the injury on his form, and under Cheru's close marking, his passing lost his accuracy and agility.
Wolves' attack hasn't changed since he played.
The home team obviously knew Wang Rui's threat as well, and every time he got the ball, they let out a huge boo, and every time he made a mistake, they let out a huge laugh.
Those boos and ridicule were like a sharp dagger into Wang Rui's body, and his expression became more and more serious, this was his worst game in the past two seasons.
Littis standing in the stands behind the Wolves bench looked at her lover worriedly, dear, you have to be strong!
In the 31st minute of the second half, the Wolves midfielder made a successful steal, and Kentin passed the football to Wang Rui. Wang Rui moved to meet the ball, he did not stop the ball as before, but wanted to pass the ball directly!
"Smack! ......" After a crisp sound, the ball did not fly in front of Peter as he expected, but flew out of the sideline bizarrely!
"Wow! ……”
"Good shot!"
There was a huge laugh from the stands!
Cheru, who was standing next to Wang Rui, applauded him even more and sneered: "This ball is a good pass!" Go on! ”
There is not much time left, his state has not improved, the situation is extremely unfavorable to the Wolves, and the opponent is so provocative, Wang Rui's nameless fire rises in his heart, and it is about to explode.
Kending hugged him, "Calm down! Calm down! You have to believe in yourself! You can do anything! You are the midfielder! ”
Kending's words were like ice water pouring down, extinguishing the nameless fire in Wang Rui's heart. Wang Rui looked at Kending and nodded silently, and returned to the game.
There was a lot of discussion among the reporters on the sidelines, and the French reporters said: "The king's state has indeed not recovered, and it seems that Ince and he are not lying." ”
They are ready to forgive the British generously and forgive them for the little tricks they played before the game.
The winner should be generous!
Park Sung-hwan hid the joy in his heart and said "with righteous indignation": "You must never underestimate the king's determination to win!" ”
"He'll be sure to surprise you!"
The French journalist calmly replied: "We are waiting for him to surprise us!" ”
As time passed, the faith in the hearts of the Wolves players began to waver, but they still did not give up, even if they died, they would die standing and dying!
A tragic death is more valuable than a cowardly death!
In the forty-second minute of the second half, Marseille took a corner kick, Kentin jumped high and pushed the football out of the penalty area.
The atmosphere in the stadium suddenly became tense!
Everyone has a heroic dream in their hearts, Bale uses his speed to the extreme, and he wants to save the Wolves!
Ziani's pull couldn't stop him, and Hilton's tackle couldn't slow him down!
The Welshman is like this, galloping in front of the Marseille penalty area!
Seeing that Bale was about to get into the penalty area, Marseille central defender Taiwo made a flying tackle and brought him down!
Bale's heroic dream was shattered, and the north side of the pitch and the Wolves bench let out a cry of regret, and the home fans gave Taiwo a huge round of applause, the tactical foul was worth it!
"Tick! ……”
The referee desperately ran to the center of the incident, and it was a red card to Taiwo! (To be continued......)
