No. 166: The winning streak is over!
Wang Rui lifted the table, broke with Alex Ferguson completely, and pushed himself into a corner, and the slightest poor performance will be met with media criticism and ridicule from Manchester United supporters.
It wasn't what he wanted, but things are unpredictable and he's got to where he is today with Manchester United. There are many reasons for this situation, Wang Rui is too eager to return to Manchester United, and said in front of the media that he wants to conquer Ferguson.
Because of Ronaldo's transfer, Ferguson was in a bad mood. The lord has seen too many geniuses, and he thinks that the phrase "I want to conquer Ferguson!" ", it's too frivolous, so ridiculing Wang Rui, winning the Premier League championship will conquer me.
This made Wang Rui angry, and he believed that Ferguson had completely cut off his return to Manchester United, so he publicly broke with Ferguson.
The media played an important role in this, and they wanted to make English football more interesting. Alex Ferguson is undoubtedly the godfather of England, and few people dare to argue with him, and when they found out that Wang Rui was from Manchester United's academy, they became interested.
What a grudge this was, so they unleashed their energy and finally pushed the two to the opposite side.
Obviously, the current Wang Rui does not understand all this. Now that the break has been made, he can put aside his plans to return to Manchester United for the time being, so that he can relax instead.
Old Ince once said that football should bring joy, not weight. He is now playing football no longer to get someone's attention, but for himself, for the city.
So in the face of the bombardment of Manchester United's supporters, he didn't pay attention to it at all, focusing on training and games.
……
Wang Rui came to the dressing room, and his teammates talked about the details of the game against Everton with the joy of the big victory on their faces. After Wang Rui greeted his teammates, he put down his sports bag and left the locker room, he was going to find Ince.
Wang Rui pushed the door in, Ince's office was very simple, a desk, a bookcase, and then three brown sofas. At this moment, Ince was sitting on the sofa with his assistant discussing the details of training, looked up at Wang Rui, put down the folder in his hand, and beckoned him to sit down with a smile.
Several assistants knew that they had something to discuss, and after greeting Wang Rui, they left the office. The room was deserted all of a sudden, and after Wang Rui brewed some words, he said: "I can't control my emotions, so I ......"
In his pre-match press conference, Ince reminded him not to say something before leaving, but when he said it, he completely forgot about Ince's reminder. He felt the need to explain it to Ince.
The corners of Ince's mouth turned outward, looking at the newcomers he had unearthed with his own hands, and now he has grown to be called "the core of England's future midfield" by the media! ”。
Ince put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "The media uses us to attract readers, and we can also use the media to promote our positive image." After all, a positive image will bring us more benefits and not have to carry unnecessary pressure. ”
'The pressure on the players is already heavy, the pressure from strong opponents, the pressure from winning and the pressure from life. If you add to that the pressure from the media......"
He paused and said with a complicated face: "What you said at the press conference ......"
"Let's just say it, young people should be like this when they have time, and they can't accumulate resentment in their hearts. I'm sticking with you! ”
Wang Rui didn't speak, just glanced at him gratefully.
'It's not a bad thing to put it down and come back to Manchester United for a while, Ferguson is a stubborn guy and even if you come back to Manchester United now it's hard to get along with him. Also, Manchester United are in good shape and it's hard to play when you go and it's not good for your growth. ”
"For a player, especially a young player, it's better to stay away from the media, concentrate on training and playing, and try to improve your ability and level. If you miss these years, you will have less and less room for improvement. ”
"Wang, don't waste your talent, you are the most talented midfielder I have seen in all these years, and you have to focus on training and games."
Ince was once a prominent figure in world football, once captained England and was the first black captain. He said so!
Wang Rui was excited in his heart and didn't know what to say.
Ince looked at him and said with a smile, "You don't have to say anything, in fact, you have done a very good job." ”
He waved his fist and said, "Go for it!" Grow up as soon as possible, and together with Wolves, we will create more miracles! ”
……
After Wang Rui came out of Ince's office, his whole body and mind were relaxed, and he was full of expectations for the future.
On the 12th, Wolves will take on Nottingham Forest away from home.
Last season, Wolves suffered a 6-0 defeat at their feet and dropped to second from bottom in the table. The consequence was that the old Ince came to power, and only then did Wolves win four in a row and have an epic relegation battle. It was after that game that Wang Rui made his career debut and got to where he is today.
A few months later, Wolves faced Nottingham Forest again with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the score of 0-6 is a shame for them, and on the other hand, without that 0-6, there would be no current Wolves.
This mixed emotions were not put down until the opponent scored against them in the 10th minute of the first half. In the following time, Wolves showed the fighting spirit to play against Liverpool and Chelsea.
Football was full of surprises, with Wolves attacking but unable to equalise. Instead, Nottingham Forest knocked on the Wolves goal again in the 25th minute of the first half.
Nottingham Forest led 2-0 and kept that score until the end of the first half. The local TV commentator excitedly said: "We are the terminators of the Wolves winning streak!" ”
At half-time, Ince told his players to relax and forget about the victory.
After the intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again!
Wolves slowed down the tempo of their attack and tried to stretch the opposition defence as far as possible, attacking from both flanks. Such a change has left Nottingham Forest's defence open in the middle.
In the seventh minute of the second half, Wolves attacked on the left side and suddenly passed the football to the middle. At this moment, the opposing central defender directly dribbled the ball and brought him down, the referee blew a whistle, and Wolves took a direct free kick.
Wang Rui wanted to take the penalty himself, and his free kick went around the human wall and went straight to the right side of the goal!
The opposing goalkeeper makes a nice side save to pounce the football back into the penalty area!
At this moment, the alert Peter took two steps forward and shot with one kick!
The soccer ball crosses the goal line like an arrow and burrows into the net!
The score became 1-2, and Wolves were still one goal behind!
This goal boosted the morale of the Wolves team, and they became more and more active on the two wings in the next game. Nottingham Forest counter-attacked in the face of Wolves' aggressive style of play. Kending has a posture of being in charge, using his head and feet to disintegrate the opponent's attacks again and again.
In the twenty-seventh minute of the second half, Peter, who had made great strides in his technical level, forcibly broke through to the opponent's penalty area after receiving Wang Rui's oblique pass, and shot hard, and the football penetrated the opponent's goalkeeper again!
Peter scored twice and the score became 2-2 and Wolves equalised!
The goal only galvanized Nottingham Forest's fighting spirit, and they took on Wolves when the game resumed. Obviously, Wolves are a very good team on the counter-attack, and when the opposition is half-pitched, it will be difficult for them to tear apart the opposition defence, and once they attack, they will ......
In the 31st minute, the Wolves launched a quick counterattack, Wang Rui made a long pass in the hinterland of the side, and Kevin Foley was like an arrow, after taking the ball on the left side, he went straight to the opponent's penalty area.
After dodging the opposing central defender, he shot the penalty line!
The opposing goalkeeper made a sideways save to save the football from the bottom line, disintegrating the Wolves' quick counter-attack.
Three minutes later, Wolves made a comeback, and after Wang Rui advanced into the opponent's half with the ball, he chose to pass the ball to Peter. A white light flashed from Wang Rui's feet, and the football passed through the gap between the two defenders of Nottingham Forest!
Peter howled and took two steps forward, keeping the ball under his feet. Without waiting for the opposing defender to pounce, Peter raised his right foot and shot hard!
A white light shone in the opponent's penalty area, and Peter's shot was extremely tricky, and the ball flew directly into the net from the dead corner!
Peter scored a hat-trick and the score became 3-2, and Wolves scored three goals in a row to overtake the score!
In the ensuing game, both sides had chances to score, but neither could grasp it, and in the end, Wolves reversed the score and won a thrilling victory.
At the end of the game, the local TV commentator sighed: "The current Wolves team is not the same as last season's Wolves, Nottingham can't stop their winning streak, it seems that only they can stop their winning streak." ”
In this way, Wolves have won 26 consecutive League One games, and Leeds United, who are in second place, are already 19 points away from them!
After this game, Wolves immediately face the FA Cup, and on the 15th, they will take on Charlton Athletic away from home. The schedule is intensive, and Wolves meet the devil's schedule.
The FA Cup on the 15th, League One on the 18th, the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals on the 23rd, and League One on the 26th. Add in the three rounds of League One and a League Cup semi-final that have already been played, and the 30th League One, and they have nine games to play this month!
On average, you have to play a game every three days!
On the 14th, Wolves rushed to Charlton Athletic, where they were on their way to the FA Cup. The fact that Wolves are taking this game a day earlier shows how seriously they are to this game, and this is the first time this season that they have been away from home a day early.
Bad luck befell Wolves without warning, and a flu struck the entire team that night, leaving no one unspared. Ince, who was wiping his nose, was worried.
On the morning of the 15th, the Wolves borrowed the Charlton training ground to train, and the bad luck once again befell the Wolves, Peter and Wang Rui both strained their thighs in a scramble, and after the team doctor's examination, the two will miss the afternoon game.
Bad luck fell on everyone on the Wolves like a black cloud, and Old Ince frowned. Wang Rui, who has never missed a game this season, finally sat on the bench and watched from the wall.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the FA Cup match begins. The lack of a major general, coupled with the flu attack, Wolves were unable to show the aggressiveness of the past in the game.
Charlton won 2-0 to the shouts of the home fans and advanced to the next round. And Wolves were eliminated from the competition.
Wolves' defeat also meant they had finally halted their winning streak in all competitions, much to the relief of the media.
The Times said: Wolves have finally lost, but they have lost to the flu and their own feet. A sudden flu hit Wolves, plus the twin stars were injured in training and missed the game.
Such a Wolves defeat at the feet of Charlton deserved it. So, will Wolves' winning streak in League One also have to stop immediately?
