No. 251: First Leg Win!
At the last moment, there will always be a hero!
An orange figure glides rapidly on the turf towards the football!
With his speed and direction, he will hit the post regardless of whether he can shovel the football out or not!
Kending, who was standing outside the penalty area, looked at the black hair, his eyes were moist, and his nose was slightly sour, Wang, this should have been done by us defenders!
Wang Rui didn't have any fear in his eyes, and the moment the instep of his right foot touched the football, his toes slammed outward!
The ball changed direction again and flew towards the outside of the post!
As soon as the football rolled out of the bottom line, Wang Rui's left leg knee hit the post with a "ping"!
Wang Rui didn't let out any screams, just hugged his right leg and knee in pain. After the whole stadium made a surprise sound, it immediately corrected, Wang was injured!
The referee immediately blew the whistle to signal a timeout, and the Wolves players rushed forward, and the experienced Oakes stopped his teammates from moving Wang Rui. The team doctor immediately came to Wang Rui's side at the referee's signal.
The atmosphere on the court became heavy, and they were not only moved by Wang Rui to step forward in times of danger to prevent the opponent from narrowing the gap again, but also worried about his injury.
In the silence, the stadium resounded with rhythmic applause, as if calling for the sleeping people. As if he had been hit by a bullet, Ince, who was standing in the command area, shook his body slightly, and his face began to change......
In the VIP box, the cigar in Morgan's hand was trembling slightly, and Wenner, who was still cheering just now, turned his face serious.
……
A sharp pain came from the front of the knee of his left leg, Wang Rui was covered with cold sweat, and his hands began to tremble slightly.
Looking at the anxious eyes of his teammates beside him, Wang Rui said: "The rest of the game will be handed over to you...... I couldn't hold on anymore ......"
Kentin held his hand, his eyes were red, and he said firmly: "You can rest assured to go for treatment, we will not let the victory slip away!" ”
Peter scolded: "Damn, who made you a hero? ”
"Even if the goal goes in. We're still ahead, do you need to do that? ”
"You know what, you're lazy!"
In Peter's opinion, conceding a goal is a greater loss than Wang Rui's health, as long as Wang Rui is on the field, the role is definitely much greater than a ball.
Wang Rui endured the pain and said: "I don't want to be a hero either, but I can't just watch that ball go in......"
Probably realizing that he was talking a little too much, Peter sighed and said, "Forget it, I know you just like to be a hero." It's not a good feeling to be a hero this time......"
Wang Rui wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "You can come and try ......"
Wang Rui was carried out on a stretcher, Wolves fans were even more worried, the season has reached the end stage, and the Wolves can be without anyone, but if this one is missing, it will be dangerous......
As if something was slowly leaving them!
A dark cloud hung over their minds, and suddenly, they found themselves pinning their hopes on Wolves. It turned out that the hope was all on Wang Rui. Now that this one is injured, the flame of hope in their hearts is beginning to dim......
The crowd of reporters on the sidelines fell silent, and the British reporters shook their heads worriedly. French journalists weren't overjoyed by this, the Ligue 1 leaders were beaten like this by a Championship side. Is it because the other party's core is injured, should he show a happy expression?
A flash of joy flashed in Park Sung-hwan's eyes, and then he hid his joy deeply, with a serious expression. Even make a worried face.
……
Ince came to the stretcher, patted Wang Rui on the shoulder with a complicated expression, and did not speak. Wang Rui is like a child who has done something wrong. He glanced at him apologetically and said, "Coach, I'll be back soon!" ”
Ince shook his head and said, "Go to the hospital for a check-up, and I'll go see you after the game." ”
Wang Rui was then taken to the hospital by ambulance. Ince replaced the back midfielder Knightley to strengthen the defense, Wang Rui's absence has a great impact on the Wolves' attack, so in this case, it is better to replace a midfielder.
Ince has decisively adjusted his tactics and focused on defence, hoping to keep the current score until the end of the game.
Wang Rui's departure made Marseille feel relaxed, and even some players had the idea that Marseille would definitely be able to eliminate Wolves and advance to the semifinals.
In the ensuing game, Marseille attacked like a tide, and the Wolves erected a human wall in front of the penalty area, and they used their bodies to block the opponent's fierce attacks again and again.
In the 40th minute of the second half, Craddock strained his thigh during a block and had to go off early. However, Wolves eventually kept the score 3-1 until the end of the game amid the shouts of the home fans.
For this victory, Wolves paid two big players. In the post-match press conference, Ince said with a serious expression: "For us, although we won this game, the next leg will be very difficult. ”
Wolves scored two clean sheets in this game, Ince should have been happy, but the injuries of Wang Rui and Craddock are unknown, and it is not known whether they will be able to participate in the second leg, which makes Ince unhappy.
During the Q&A session, Park Sung-hwan asked, "What do you think about Wang's desperate injury to block that goal?" There is an opinion that he shouldn't have done that, which would cast a shadow over the second leg for Wolves! ”
The group of reporters suddenly discussed, if Wang Rui is on the injury list for a long time because of this tackle, it will definitely be a huge loss for the Wolves. This impact is not limited to the UEFA Cup, but can even have a huge impact on the impact of the Premier League.
Ince frowned slightly, looked directly at Park Sung-hwan and said: "First of all, I appreciate Wang's approach very much, he sacrificed himself for the whole team!" ”
'Some time ago someone said he was selfish and this tackle was a good fight back and he told us he could give everything for this team!
Park Sung-hwan's face was hard to look at, and Ince was slapping him in the face.
"You haven't played football, you've never played professionally." Ince said unceremoniously: "So you don't understand why Wang Rui would do that!" ”
The corners of Ince's mouth turned up slightly, and he said: "If you think I am wrong, you can go and interview other players and coaches and ask them if Wang should have done that at that time!" ”
"Not everybody at that moment would dare to step up and risk injury to tackle. The king's actions speak volumes about his toughness! ”
If it was a private occasion, Ince might spit on him. Even a big fight, damn it, you guy, at a time like this, actually said this.
Park Sung-hwan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to sprinkle salt on the wounds of the Wolves and Wang Rui, but he was attacked by Ince strongly, and his face was quite ugly.
Hmph, it's useless to fight with words, after you're eliminated by Marseille. I'll settle accounts for you again!
Park Sung-hwan is a strong-willed person, a person who moves forward bravely towards the goal, and the Asian has one Park Ji-sung, and this Chinese must not let him grow up!
The Marseille player who attended the post-match press conference was Dutch star Zenden, who praised Wang Rui: "Before coming to the UK, I thought Wang was touted by the British media and didn't take him seriously at all, but he won my respect with his performance. ”
'Wolves' performance has been astounding and it's hard to believe a Championship side can show that level. I even suspect that they are better than a lot of Premier League teams. ”
"We lost, but we are still confident that we will qualify for the semi-finals!"
The French reporters in the audience nodded their heads, yes. Marseille only need to return to their home stadium for a 2-0 win to advance. For Marseille, who are firepowered, two goals is not a difficult thing to accomplish.
What's more, the core of Wolves' midfield is injured, and it is not known whether they will be able to catch up with the second leg next week. Wolves without Wang Rui. Can you still play a sharp defensive counterattack?
Can you still play a smooth and sharp attack in the frontcourt?
Isn't Wang Rui once a glass man, even if he recovers his health now, he is injured like other players. It will definitely not be in time for the second round of the match.
So, what's the problem with Marseille's promotion?
Wang Rui was praised by the Marseille star, and British journalists should be proud, but they had worries on their faces. Wang Rui's injury can definitely affect the promotion of Wolves, and everyone knows how important he is to Wolves.
In the first leg of the knockout round, when playing the Shakhtars, because of his absence, the Wolves lost 0-3, is this tragedy going to happen again?
……
Wang Rui's injury not only affects the hearts of the British media, but also the hearts of Wolves fans. As night fell, a large number of media reporters and Wolves fans who came to inquire about Wang Rui's injury gathered outside Wolverhampton Hospital.
Fans waited anxiously outside the door with flowers in their hands, and some fans who had something to do left with flowers on the wall outside the hospital door, wrote blessings and left.
At half past seven in the evening, the Wolves press spokesman appeared, and reporters and fans immediately rushed up, waiting for him to announce Wang Rui's injury.
"After an MRI and radiograph, Wang's bone was not injured, but the medial collateral ligament of the knee was torn......"
"The king will rest for two weeks!"
Wolves fans covered their mouths, French journalists breathed a sigh of relief, and British journalists shook their heads.
As for Craddock's injury, which was later announced by the press spokesman, people didn't care at all.
"Craddock is not a big problem, and he will recover in three days."
……
With the announcement of Wang Rui's injury, the media began to analyze the possibility of the two teams qualifying. The British media is divided into two factions, one led by the Daily Mail, which believes that Wolves have little chance of qualifying, and the other led by the Guardian, who believes that Wolves have a better chance of qualifying.
The Daily Mail said: "Wang's absence, in addition to the tactical loss, is more important for the Wolves than the mental loss.
Wang has now become the tactical core of the Wolves team, and as long as he is on the field, the mentality of the Wolves players will be much better, and the attack will be very disciplined. ”
"The only way for Wolves to qualify now is to defend well. With a tight defense, they couldn't have done anything better than that. But Marseille will be a terrible team back at home, and Wolves have little hope of qualifying! ”
Park Sung-hwan's deflated post-match press conference made him realize that it was not the right time to lash out at Wang Rui, so he turned to analysing the promotion of Wolves, which people are more concerned about.
The Guardian said: "Wolves can still progress without the king because they have two goal difference. Modern football relies on groups, not individual players, and Wang's absence does have an impact on Wolves, but it is definitely not as big as people think! (To be continued......)
