No. 274: A battle of wits between coaches!
The game was interrupted for a full four minutes before it could be restarted, and the newly introduced Kentin used his header to head Dynamo's corner out of the box.
Wolves used the precious four minutes to regain their mentality and start a fierce battle against their opponents. In the 45th minute, Dynamo crossed from the side, Craddock and Nienkovic jumped high!
"Pong!" With a bang, their heads collided, and the two let out a scream and fell to the turf. By the time the two of them got up from the turf, their faces were bleeding!
Their eyebrow bones were cracked and they had to leave the scene for emergency treatment.
After a brief treatment, Craddock returned to the court with his head bandaged, while Nienkovic chose to leave the field to continue treatment.
After the game, some media commented: "The same eyebrow bone was cracked, and the Wolves central defender chose to continue playing, while the Dynamo Kyiv striker chose to leave the field for treatment."
Coupled with the injured Kending, the Wolves showed the ferocity in their blood, which is the main reason why they can have the last laugh when facing a tough battle! ”
After five minutes of stoppage time, the first half ended with the referee's whistle blowing two short and one long, and Wolves temporarily led 2-1.
Looking at the score on the huge electronic screen, Dynamo Kyiv coach Semin was bitter in his heart, saying to his players before the game that not only to win, but also not to allow Wolves to score.
Who knew that at the end of the first half, they not only allowed Wolves to score, but also scored two. And the main reason for all this, one is his misjudgment of the Wolves strategy, and the other is that the Wolves attack is really sharp.
"The four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!" Indeed, the three teeth on the field worked together to tear through their defenses and win two cities in a row. If it weren't for him adjusting his tactics in time and increasing his defense against Wang Rui, the score gap would likely widen.
The Wolves, the so-called dark horse, still underestimate them!
Semin led his players back to the dressing room. He has to sum up what happened in the first half and also plan the tactics for the second half. If they lose the first leg, they will not only be flooded with media criticism, but more importantly, they will lose hope of qualifying for the final.
'First of all, I apologise to everyone for the big deviation in my judgment of Wolves.
Semin stopped the assistant coach's intention to take on the responsibility and continued: "The opponent has already scored two goals, so now we can only put the winner first! ”
'Beat them and we still have hope of qualifying. If...... Even if it's a draw. It was a huge challenge for us in the second leg. ”
Unlike the pre-match atmosphere, the atmosphere in the dressing room is very oppressive at the moment, this is their home stadium, and it is not them who are leading, but Wolves, who are being ridiculed by them.
Speaking of Wolves' goal, Semin believes that Wang Rui played a key role in the middle, the first goal came from Wang Rui's long-distance accurate long pass, and the second goal. Directly from the assist with Wang Rui.
'Later in the first half, we were able to defend against Wang, containing him, Wolves' attack became fragmented and our defensive pressure was reduced a lot.
"So. We must not relax our guard against him in the second half! ”
Several battlefield players nodded, and the first half made them understand a truth, the reason why this Wolves team attacked sharply was inseparable from Wang Rui. Even Milevsky, who was punched by Wang Rui. It is also believed that only by containing that hateful guy can the Wolves' sharp attack be dismantled.
'In attack, we still have to take advantage of the gaps left by Bale's frequent assists. Initiate from the right side. ”
The goal scored by Dynamo was launched from the right side, and the other threatening attacks were basically launched from the right side as well.
Compared to the oppressive atmosphere in the home team's dressing room, the atmosphere in the away team's dressing room is a little more relaxed. Of course, this kind of ease is not the ease of unloading the burden, but the ease of taking the lead, leading the score, and the pressure on the opponent's side.
"Bale assists to leave gaps, Knightley goes to make up for it, Kentin and Richard? Stillman switches, Kentin plays at centre-back......"
Ince made a new arrangement for the positions and division of the players based on the situation that occurred in the first half. Bale was grateful for Ince's arrangement, the goal conceded in the first half had a lot to do with his lack of timely return, he thought Ince would have asked him to reduce the assist, who knows Ince didn't do it.
Although it is not explicitly stated, everyone knows that Ince is an affirmation of him.
Ince looked at Wang Rui, who was sitting quietly on the stool drinking water, and said, "Wang, you can take the ball more in the front court in the second half." ”
Wang Rui nodded, knowing that Ince had no clear intention - to break through with the ball, get a free kick opportunity in front, and then use a free kick to break through the opponent's goal!
The outcome of a football match, in addition to strength, depends largely on the tactical arrangements of the coaches of both sides. At halftime, the coaches of both sides made targeted arrangements according to the specific situation that happened on the field.
This is the battle of wit, and as for the fight, it is more reserved for the players. Throughout the first half of the game, Ince played a big offensive battle, to everyone's surprise, Wolves took advantage of the opponent's mentality has not yet changed, seized the opportunity to win two cities in a row.
Dynamo Kyiv coach Semin is an excellent coach who was able to adjust his tactics in time to turn things around after he made a big mistake in anticipation.
If Ince took the lead, then Semin used his quick reaction to reverse the passive situation and did not let his team fall like a mountain.
This unexpected and extremely tragic game made the media talk a lot, and reporters speculated about the changes in the second half.
'With two away goals and a number of players out injured, Wolves should be focusing on defending in the second half.
"The score is behind, Dynamo Kyiv has no way out, they can only attack aggressively, in this case, they should find a way to contain Wang and prevent Wolves from launching a quick counterattack."
A Ukrainian journalist said: "Actually, Wang is not so terrible, just look at the middle and late stages of the first half, as long as he strengthens the siege of him, he will not be able to pass the deadly pass, and even the offensive organization will not be good." ”
The British journalist did not speak, only laughed coldly. The reporter of the French team newspaper looked at the Ukrainian journalist like an idiot.
Have you forgotten the second leg between Wolves and Marseille?
The guy who hadn't fully recovered had been in terrible form since coming on as a substitute, but he flashed for a second and scored a free-kick past the Marseille goal.
It was with that goal that Wolves eliminated the Ligue 1 leaders and advanced to the semi-finals.
In this game, Wolves' two goals in the first half were closely related to him, are you really ignorant or deliberately cheering yourself up so much?
……
The second half came as scheduled!
Wolves quickly moved the ball up front and launched an attack. Fighting to win love, Bale fully showed his attacking talents, and he was extremely active on the left flank.
Thirty seconds into the second half, he used his speed to break through and pass the ball into the Dynamo penalty area with a kick in the air about five meters from the baseline!
Ambushed in the middle, Peter jumped high, he overwhelmed his opponent and struck with a flick of his head!
The ball flies towards the top right corner of the goal!
Bocuse's extremely outstretched hands failed to touch the football!
The temperature at Lobanowski Stadium has plummeted, could it be that scene from the first half again? (To be continued......)
