No. 214: Points Grab Plan and Injuries!

Ince's aim is very clear: to grab more points in the Championship and extend the lead before the UEFA Cup knockout rounds, and when it comes to the UEFA Cup knockout rounds, the main focus can be on the UEFA Cup.

He made this strategy clear to his players, the League Cup knockout round starts in February, which means that Wolves will try to win as many games as possible and earn more points in December and January.

Ince called the plan a "points-grabbing plan", and there was no opposition from the Wolves team to sharpen their knives over it.

The early stages of the points grab plan went well, and on December 13, in the 23rd round of the Championship, Wolves hosted Barnsley.

"The four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!" Collective efforts, Peter scored twice, Bale and Kenting each scored a goal, Wang Rui assisted two goals, and Wolves won the opponent 4-0.

On the 20th, Wolves challenged Doncaster away, Peter and Bale were dumb, Wang Rui stepped forward and blasted the opponent's goal with a long-range shot in the 81st minute. With Wang Rui's goal, Wolves took away three points with a score of 1-0.

On the 26th, Wolves returned to their home stadium to face Sheffield United in second place, and this game is likely to decide the title of the Championship this season.

The match attracted 30,000 home fans and 5,000 away fans, and before the game even began, fans from both sides clashed, and the police took away more than two dozen fans who were causing trouble.

Fan clashes cast a shadow over the game and added to the gunpowder flavor of the game, and once the game began, the two sides began to fight in a white-knuckle battle, with players constantly slumping on the turf in pain.

In the seventeenth minute of the first half, an accident happened, Peter and the opponent competed for a header, and the heads of both sides hit each other hard, resulting in both sides withdrawing from the game.

In the next game, the scene was stalemate, Wolves attacked, and Sheffield United focused on defense and played a defensive counterattack.

Wolves couldn't break through the opponent's goal for a long time, but in the 31st minute of the first half, they were successfully attacked by the opponent, and the score became 0-1.

To add insult to injury, in the 42nd minute of the first half, the impatient Kenting elbowed the opponent's head when he was competing for a header and received a red card.

The score was behind, the numbers were at a disadvantage, and the pressure was on the Wolves players. As Wolves started the second half, Wolves' offensive slowed down and Sheffield United took the opportunity to step up their attack.

If Sheffield United win this game, they will close the gap between the two teams and put a lot of pressure on Wolves, who obviously don't want to see that kind of result.

In the twenty-fifth minute of the second half, after Wang Rui broke the ball in the hinterland of the game, he rode through the pass alone, drove straight into the field with the football, connected the opponent's four players, and killed in front of the opponent's penalty area.

This image makes the blood of the home fans boil!

Two Sheffield United centre-backs flanked him in an attempt to finish off from outside the box!

In the face of the opponent's double bag, Wang Rui was quick and found a fleeting opportunity to transfer the football to the left side!

Bale, who came up with the assist, took two steps forward to control the football at his feet, and then he made a slight adjustment and hit the goal with a powerful kick on the penalty line!

Football went into the net, Wolves equalized with difficulty, and the two sides returned to the same running line!

Outnumbered, Sheffield United were not willing to pick up a point away from home and launched a tidal wave of attacks on Wolves after the restart. The Wolves backline took advantage of the opposition forward's eagerness to extend the advantage of the score and came up with an offside tactic, and the Sheffield United striker was caught in the trouble of being offside.

As time went on, no one could change the deadlock on the field, and just when people thought it was a draw, the situation changed dramatically!

In the 39th minute of the second half, Wolves took the throw-in in front of the Wolves, Wang Rui took the throw-in from Bale, suddenly accelerated, and rushed along the sideline!

Wang Rui's quick dribbling made Sheffield United's defenders jump and panic, and the Wolves fans in the stands let out a loud shout. About ten meters away from the penalty area, Wang Rui suddenly cut inside, and Bale crossed with him and moved to the side.

As a midfielder, the first choice after getting the ball is to pass, Wang Rui did not seek to dribble horizontally, but a diagonal line, passing the football to Bale!

After Bale got the ball, he drilled into the Sheffield United box like lightning!

The air in the stadium is about to suffocate, and Wolves fans see the hope of overtaking the score!

In the face of the defense of Sheffield United's two defenders, Bale did not shoot, but suddenly crossed to Wang Rui in the middle. Wang Rui seemed to have known that Bale would pass the ball to him, and when he raised his left foot, he shot directly at the goal!

A white light shone brightly, and the football went straight into the net with an unstoppable momentum!

The ball is in!

The score becomes two to one!

Wolves scored two goals in a row and finally reversed the score!

Molinox Stadium erupted in earth-shattering screams, cheers, applause......

With this goal, Wolves won this strong conversation in their home stadium with a difficult and narrow victory over the opponent!

At the end of the round, Wolves extended their lead to eight points!

Unfortunately, in stoppage time, Sheffield United brought down Wang Rui with a flying tackle from the back, and Wang Rui suffered a serious ankle injury and was directly carried off the field on a stretcher.

Although the Wolves won the game, they paid the Wolves twin stars, and between the gains and losses, people were speechless. The next day, Wolves announced that Peter and Wang Rui would be off for three weeks.

The Wolves twin were injured and the impact on Wolves was quickly revealed. Three days later, on December 29, in the 26th round of the Championship, the tired Wolves challenged Blackpool away, plus Wang Rui and Peter hung up the exemption card, and the Wolves lost 0-1.

The pace of time came to 2009, on the day of New Year's Day, the 27th round of the Championship began, and Wolves did not have time to adjust, and ushered in the challenge of Preston.

With a packed schedule, the absence of the Wolves twin stars, and the defeat just three days ago, Wolves were out of form in this game and quickly lost 0-2.

Losing two rounds in a row, this is the first time this has happened since Ince came to power. Sheffield United quickly emerged from the defeat against Wolves when they lost two in a row to close the gap to two points.

At this point, the points advantage that Wolves had previously established was wiped out, narrowed down to one game. Ince's December points scrap plan fell under injury, and he honestly admits to his players that he was too simplistic and idealistic, and that a team can encounter a lot of unforeseen circumstances.

He is even more in-depth review, should not make the so-called "point grabbing plan", the formulation of this plan itself, it shows that his mentality is too urgent, and a season is very long, this mentality is unacceptable.

Subsequently, he told the players that the so-called point grabbing plan should be canceled, and the football game should bring more happiness to the players.

However, the Wolves nightmare is not over yet, with the names on the injury list gradually gaining momentum, with Kentin having to rest for two weeks after suffering a groin strain in training.

Thankfully, with the international break approaching, the Championship ushered in a ten-day break, and Wolves finally had time to catch their breath after two consecutive defeats.

Ince simply gave the team five days off in this situation to give them a rest. Affectionately known by Wolves fans as "the four sharpest teeth in a wolf's mouth!" The four young men discussed it and prepared to go to the hill on the east side of the city to have a barbecue and relax.

At nine o'clock in the morning on January 6, Peter rode a motorcycle with his girlfriend Dai Li, and Kenting drove a Toyota car borrowed from a friend and carried Bell to the door of Wang Rui's house.

Several people carried the ingredients they bought yesterday, barbecue tools and seasonings into the trunk of Kending's Toyota. Then Wang Rui's two siblings and Lydis, who arrived last night, got into a Toyota, and Peter drove his motorcycle to his girlfriend Dai Li and headed for the destination.

Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination, and the four men began to get busy. Kenting and Bell, who have experience in barbecue, set up the barbecue grill and light a charcoal fire, while Wang Rui and Peter move the ingredients and barbecue tools out of the car.

Ten minutes later, Kenting and Bell were ready to start the barbecue, and half an hour later, the smell was overflowing, and the seven of them began to feast around the barbecue grill.

Peter raised his glass and said, "Come, let's all raise our glasses and celebrate our new year!" ”
