February is a big month for Wolves.

The Championship is in a brutal battle for the top spot, and any mishap will make them fall to the top of the table; The League Cup enters the knockout round, and as long as one game is not played well, it is very likely to be brutally eliminated.

In order to prepare for the upcoming first round of the knockout round, after Wolves played Burnley away on the 14th, Ince immediately started training after giving the players a day off.

In order to prevent the media from spying on the team's military situation, Ince closed the door of the training base and blocked domestic and foreign reporters from the door during training.

Ince's strategy was clear, playing away from home in the first leg, focusing on defense and aiming for away goals. Ince didn't make a clear statement about the win, but he said that he knew that no one wanted to lose.

Ince's strategy is to attack the opposition's defence with a counter-attack, and winning is of course the most desirable outcome, and if not, try to concede as few goals as possible.

According to Ince's strategy, the Wolves defence will shrink back, which means giving up the high press that they have relied on to become famous.

In this regard, the players did not show too much dissatisfaction and opinion, and with the stability of Wolves' results, Ince's authority in the dressing room is unshakable.

If there must be someone who can pose a threat to Ince's locker room status, in addition to the "old men" of the Oaks Wolves, it is Wang Rui and the four young people.

But neither Oakes nor Wang Rui have any reason to oppose Ince, because they have not only experienced epic relegation together, but also experienced last season's glory.

Ince's strategy was formulated, and Wang Rui became a transit station in this tactical system, a transit station from defense to offense. A quick counterattack requires a fast speed to move the ball, and controlling the midfield of the soccer will determine the speed of the rapid counterattack, which will determine the success rate of the defensive counterattack.

In other words, Wang Rui is a key figure in the Wolves attack, and his play will affect the victory or defeat of the Wolves.

The media predicted Wolves and Shakhtar Donetsk before the game, and the Ukrainian media believe that Shakhtar Donetsk should pay attention to Wolves and not simply see them as England's second-tier teams, and Wolves can qualify from the group stage one round earlier, which says a lot.

Local media reminded Shakhtar Donetsk to watch out for Wolves' 'mad wolf tactics', which have been tailored to Wolves by pressing high posts since Inces became Wolves manager, which has matured over time and shown its power. Wolves were able to qualify for the League Cup by relying on the Mad Wolves tactics.

Shakhtar Donetsk moved the ball a little faster in midfield to avoid being pressed by more than two players on the other side and reduce the number of tackles by Wolves.

In addition, to kill Wang Rui, from a certain point of view, whether the defense of Wang Rui is successful or not will determine the outcome of the game!

……

The local media's evaluation of Wang Rui is not high, but this is also in line with Wang Rui's important role in the Wolves tactical system.

The British media have been cautious, with the Daily Mail stating that "Shakhtar Donetsk's home record in the group stage is two wins, scoring five goals and conceding only one, their home stadium is horrible." Although Wolves have a good away record, it will not be easy to get out of the stadium at Baseton Arena. ”

The Times believes the best outcome for Wolves would be to walk away with a draw so they can take the initiative of promotion into their own hands.

The Guardian is clearly on the side of Wolves, believing that they will be able to get out of the way and even walk away with a victory: "The king will never allow a defeat on the road, because Wolves gave up the last round of the Championship for this knockout round. ”

……

The Wolves decided to fly to Donetsk, Ukraine, on the morning of the 19th. This training session on the afternoon of the 18th was the last training session at the training base before the trip, and Ince was quite strict with the players, especially when switching from defense to offense, emphasizing a "fast".

Wang Rui played a key role in the quick counterattack in training, and even those teammates who were dissatisfied with him had to admit that his performance today was indeed quite amazing.

Wang Rui's vision and footwork have become a sharp weapon for defensive counterattacks, and he can always use the fastest speed to pass the football to the feet of the striker when counterattacking. Peter howled and received his pass again and again, sending the ball into the goal.

Ince's coaching staff couldn't help but smile as they watched the scene, full of hope for the upcoming first leg. Ince also let out a long breath and nodded slightly.

A sharp counterattack will inevitably become a weapon for the Wolves to retreat away!

At the end of training at 5 p.m., Ince gave an enthusiastic summary and finally told the players to gather at the club at 1 p.m. tomorrow at noon, and then take the bus to London to catch a flight.

After Wang Rui returned to the locker room, after taking a quick shower, he changed his clothes, stuffed the soaked jersey into his sports bag, and took out his mobile phone. There were five missed calls on the phone, two of which were from unfamiliar numbers, and the other three were from Aunt Mary.

Wang Rui frowned slightly, Aunt Mary called during her training time, there must be something urgent.

Wang Rui didn't think much about it, and dialed Aunt Mary's mobile phone. The phone was connected, and Aunt Mary's anxious voice reached Wang Rui's ears: "Rui, are you training over?" Ting is in the hospital now, you should come right now! ”

What the?

Wang Rui's heart tightened suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "Aunt Mary, what's wrong with her?" What disease? Is it serious? ”

The other end of the phone said: "Now the doctor is examining, the results have not come out, Ting suddenly fainted in the classroom in the afternoon......"

After Wang Rui explained a few words to Aunt Mary, he hurriedly picked up his sports bag and said loudly to Peter, who was wiping his hair: "Hurry up!" Take me to the hospital! ”

Peter said lazily, "Hurry up, hurry ......"

When he came back to what Wang Rui said, he couldn't help but hurriedly ask, "Go to the hospital?" Who is sick? ”

"My sister!"

Hearing this, Peter put the towel still on the floor, took out the key from his bag, and walked towards the locker room with Wang Rui, while saying to Kending, who had just finished taking a shower, "Help me clean up ......"

On the way, Wang Rui told Peter the information he got from Aunt Mary. Peter comforted him, Wang Ting's fainting is not necessarily a big problem, girls, there will be some inexplicable situations when there is time.

My sister is the only relative in this world, of course Wang Rui hopes that she has no major problems, Peter's persuasion did not work, and Wang Rui is still very worried. Peter's car drove very fast, and after more than 20 minutes, the two arrived at the hospital.

After Peter put the motorcycle away, he called Dai Li, and when the two of them came to the fourth floor to meet Aunt Mary, Dai Li also came.

Wolverhampton is a small city with a population of just over 200,000, so there is only one public hospital, and Dai Li works in this hospital.

After Dai Li came, she walked into the examination room to learn about Wang Ting's situation. After Aunt Mary saw Wang Rui, her expression relaxed a little.

"Still checking?" Wang Rui glanced at the examination room and asked.

Aunt Mary nodded and said, "It's been in for an hour......"

Uncle Mulin was quite calm, and he beckoned Wang Rui to sit on a chair in the corridor and wait for the results of the examination. Several people sat on chairs in the corridor with serious expressions and waited for the results of the examination, as time passed, Wang Rui's heart became more and more nervous, and he even had a bad premonition.

Ten minutes later, Dai Li came out of the examination room, because she was wearing a mask, it was difficult to see her expression, but Wang Rui read something from her eyes, and her heart began to sink.

Peter hurriedly greeted him, and the two whispered. It is useless to dodge some things, Wang Rui stood up and walked towards Dai Li.

At this time, the door of the examination room opened, and Wang Ting came out lying on the cart. Wang Rui, who originally wanted to learn about the condition from Dai Li, turned his head and walked towards the cart.

Wang Ting, who was lying on the cart, was pale and her eyes were blank, Wang Rui held her cold hand and said with a smile: "Sister, everything is with me, you will be fine." ”

Wang Ting looked at her brother's handsome face, heard her brother's worries, squeezed out a smile and said weakly: "Brother, I'm fine." ”

……

"Leukemia!"

Wang Rui stared at Dai Li and asked, "Are you sure!" ”

Dai Li sighed and said, "It has been diagnosed, acute leukemia!" ”

Like five thunderbolts, Wang Rui sat on a chair in the corridor, his hands clenched, and his face was expressionless.
