Wolves' performances this season have taken Premier League prognosticators by surprise.

Wolves are unbeaten in the first 14 rounds and have dominated the top of the table for a long time. It's not news that Wolves won, it's the biggest news that Wolves lost.

The day after the Wolves vs. Birmingham game, Wolves once again made headlines in the media, this time not because they won against a giant, but because they lost!

The headline in the Daily Mirror reads: Birmingham win 1-0 away, Wolves lose for the first time!

The headline in The Times reads: Wolves lose at home!

The Guardian used this title to express its surprise - Wolves finally lost, and at home!

They said: "Without the distractions of European competitions and two cup competitions, Wolves are focused on the Premier League and want to do well, but they lost at the feet of Birmingham!

Maintain an unbeaten home record for more than two seasons!

This season's unbeaten Premier League record is in the past!

Such a blow can be said to be fatal for Wolves, and Manchester United will definitely not give up a good opportunity to chase points. As long as Manchester United win West Ham United, the gap between the points and Wolves is only one point!

The top spot for Wolves is in jeopardy!

The Daily Mail analyzed the reasons for Wolves' defeat from the actual situation of the game: Wolves took the initiative throughout the game, but unfortunately they were unlucky and missed goals many times.

Birmingham have wisely opted for counter-attacking tactics, stockpiling a large number of troops in front of the penalty area, and it will be difficult for Wolves to develop football within 30 metres of goal.

Once Wolves hit within 30 metres of the Birmingham goal, they will find themselves surrounded by Birmingham players.

It's not the first time Wolves have faced a tight defence, having previously tackled the problem with long-range shots and set-pieces, but last night their long-range shot was off target. And Wang's free-kick failed to help Wolves find the back of the net.

So Wolves lost beyond words.

However, we can't just say that Wolves are going to go downhill because of the outcome of this game. Peter threw his shirt in anger after the game. This shows that the Wolves strikers have a strong sense of winning and losing.

Speaking to reporters in the mixed interview area, Ince said: "There are definitely winners and losers in the game, and the victory or defeat of football matches has always been about who is strong and who has the last laugh. We've beaten a lot of stronger opponents in the past, and Birmingham aren't weak. ”

"I'm comfortable accepting the defeat of this game."

'It's a long season for us and maybe we'll lose it in the future. But I was very touched by the way the players never gave up in the game. As long as we can keep that spirit, we can surprise everyone this season! ”

From the words of the Wolves manager, we can understand that he is still optimistic about the future!

……

Wolves' defeat at home was great news for Manchester United, and the Reds beat West Ham United 4-0 the next day!

They are only one point away from Wolves!

It was extremely bad news for Wolves, with an even bigger blow coming a week later. On the 12th, the sixteenth round of the Premier League began. Wolves draw 0-0 away at Tottenham!

For Manchester United, this is the best chance to overtake the points!

At 7 o'clock in the evening of the 13th, at Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United faced Aston Villa, as long as they win at home, they can surpass Wolves and rank at the top of the standings!

However, no one expected that after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Aston Villa would win 1-0 away!

Manchester United missed their best chance to overtake the scoreline. Wolves were lucky enough to hold on to the top spot.

Speaking in the mixed interview area after the match, Wayne Rooney said: "We couldn't get ahead in this round. We will definitely overtake in the next round! ”

According to the schedule, in the seventeenth round of the Premier League, Wolves will challenge Manchester United away!

……

Failing to win two rounds in a row, the atmosphere at the Wolves training ground was not very good and slightly dull. Ince tried to make the atmosphere a little better by yelling, but the effect was mediocre.

Wang Rui became more and more silent, and Peter's shooting accuracy was much worse than before. Bale, who has not scored in three consecutive games, looks frizzy, and only Kentin remains consistent.

At the end of the training, "the four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!" "Left to practice, Wang Rui practiced free kicks, Peter and Kenting made one-on-one breakthrough shots. Bale is practicing his inside shot.

Ten minutes later, Peter slammed the training vest on the turf and yelled angrily: "No more practice!" ”

With the training of the Premier League, Kending's one-on-one defensive ability is improving rapidly, and the breakthrough success rate of Peter's practice with him is only about 50%.

And only half of those 50 per cent shots went through Kending's block, much to the chagrin of the Wolves striker.

Kentin ignored Peter, walked up to Bell and said loudly, "Bell, come, let's practice!" ”

The Welshman nodded silently, exhaled a long breath, and killed Kending......

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Peter picked up the training vest stupidly, walked to the sidelines, put on a thick training jacket, and panted to watch Wang Rui practice free kicks.

To be honest, Wang Rui's training effect is terrible, and in the absence of a goalkeeper, his goal rate is only about 50%. That's a lot worse than the usual 80 per cent goal rate.

Peter cried out to him, "King...... This has no effect, you might as well not practice, the more you practice, the worse it gets. ”

Wang Rui thought about it, stopped practicing, walked to the sidelines, and sat next to Peter. Peter handed him a towel and turned his gaze to Bell and Kentin, who were in full swing.

"Damn, this guy is getting better!"

Wang Rui wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, looked at Kending with his gaze, nodded and said: "If it weren't for his few key tackles in the last game, we would have lost at the feet of Tottenham." ”

'With him at the back, our defence is much stronger.

Wang Rui then shifted his gaze to Peter, and after half a sound, asked, "Why don't you ask about the dream platform?" ”

Peter didn't turn his head, and said lightly: "Investment is risky, this is something that everyone understands. And I'm sure Lytice will get through this. ”

At this point, Peter turned to look at his friend and said in a serious tone, "Wang, you can't let these factors affect training and competition. ”

Wang Rui shook his head and said: "I also know this truth, but I still can't be as calm as water, and my heart is always calm." ”

Peter sighed and said, "Hey...... The question arises at this critical juncture......"

Wang Rui was silent.

……

Half an hour later, the four returned to the locker room, and to their surprise, Ince was alone in his chair. The Wolves boss listened to the footsteps and shifted his gaze from the training plan to the four youngsters.

"Coach, are you waiting for us?" Peter asked.

Ince nodded with a smile and said, "Go take a shower, I'll wait for you here." ”

Twenty minutes later, Wang Rui and Peter finished taking a shower and sat around Ince. The Wolves coach looked at Wang Rui and said, "Wang, there are some things that others can't help, so you can only rely on yourself." ”

Wang Rui looked at Ince apologetically and said, "Coach ......"

As if he knew what he was going to say, Ince interrupted him and said, "You don't need to say it, if I can't even figure this out, my life will be in vain." ”

'The game against Manchester United is about to start, if you don't have a good mentality, how do you go about the grudge against Ferguson? Do you want to hear ridicule and ridicule from others? ”

Ince didn't look at Wang Rui, who had a gloomy face, and said to Bale: "Although there are three games without scoring, your performance is getting better and better. It's good to score goals, but you can't score goals, as long as you can create a threat or help your team-mate score, you're just as good. ”

'Everyone knows that most of our attacks are coming from the left and I have never hidden it, so it's both pressure and motivation. You also have to adjust your mentality, the game against Manchester United is a big stage, and I am sure you can give everyone a satisfactory answer. ”

Bale nodded and said, "Coach, don't worry, I've been waiting for this game for a long time." ”

Ince nodded with satisfaction, turned his gaze to Peter and said, "I heard that Ferguson is very interested in you, you should behave well in front of him this time." ”

Peter raised his eyebrows and said, "Coach, it's one thing whether I go to Manchester United or not, but I will definitely not let go of this opportunity. ”

Kending looked at Wang Rui and then at Ince, and said firmly: "Coach, don't worry, Wang will definitely solve his own problems before the game." We won't let you down either! (To be continued.) )
