No. 203: Let's face the storm together (II)!
This season's UEFA Cup has attracted a lot of media attention, as the group stage of the UEFA Cup has been dominated by giants such as AC Milan.
But despite this, Wolves' match against Udinese would not have attracted much media attention without the clubbing incident. After all, neither team has a very high reputation, especially Wolves, which is only a Championship team.
The clubbing incident of Wolves has attracted a lot of media attention, especially the Italian media, who are like a group of vultures, smelling blood, smelling death, they see a big victory, even a bloodbath.
British reporters shook their heads helplessly, and when discussing the possible situation of this game in private, no one thought that Wolves could pull off a miracle and take a win away from the Friuli Stadium.
Their views are not far from those of Italian journalists, who believe that Wolves are likely to suffer a heavy defeat.
Some reporters even sighed: Morgan, who has ambitions, should have lost 50 million......
At this moment, Wolverhampton City was silent, they didn't think about how their players could become like this after they left their hometown. Again, they are not optimistic that their team will perform well tonight.
……
The game is scheduled for half past seven local time.
At seven o'clock, the players of both sides returned to the locker room to prepare for the upcoming game. The home team's dressing room was in high spirits, and even if there was no clubbing, they were confident of beating Wolves.
Udinese qualified for the UEFA Cup by finishing seventh in Serie A last season. Serie A has played seven rounds this season, with four wins, two draws, and one loss, and is temporarily in fifth place in the standings. The only defeat was away to Juventus, who lost 0-1.
Head coach Marino looked at his players and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, everyone knows the importance of a good start, since God has sent the Wolves to our mouths, then we have no reason to be polite, all we have to do is eat it!" ”
"Our goal tonight is to get all three points!"
The golden duo of Quagliarella and Di Natale glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths curled slightly, and they saw confidence and determination to win in each other's eyes.
In the away team's dressing room, the atmosphere was oppressive, the clubbing incident brought them a lot of pressure, and their morale was at the bottom.
Ince has never mentioned the matter in the dressing room since the clubbing incident was exposed by The Sun, nor has he criticised any of the players. The more Ince did this, the more uncomfortable the Wolves players became, especially Peter, who was going crazy, like a sword hanging over his head that never fell.
Ince looked at the silent players and said in a deep voice: "Last season was fantastic and brilliant for us because we won two titles!" ”
'No one would have thought we would win the League Cup before the season started, but we did!'
'Winning the Carabao Cup has given us a place in Europe and that's why we're playing on the turf today. Brothers! We are now facing great difficulties, and some players have even fallen into the whirlpool of public opinion. ”
Peter's face turned pale and a look of shame appeared in his eyes. Wang Rui felt that the speed of blood flow was accelerating. Bale's eyes were fiery and his clenched knuckles were starting to turn white, and a big factor in his arrival at Wolves was his ability to play in European competitions.
The air in the dressing room began to change slightly, and the Wolves 'old men' remembered the games of last season, the Carabao Cup victories over Liverpool and Chelsea, the final victory over Tottenham, and the glittering Carabao Cup......
Ince glanced at Peter, and then said, "We will face many difficulties in our lives, and if we cross the past, we can continue to move forward on the road of success, if we can't...... You'll be eliminated! ”
Ince shifted his gaze to Wang Rui and said, "What Wang said this afternoon is very good, we can welcome joy and glory together, and we can also face the wind and rain together!" ”
"Now, then, let's face the storm together!"
Peter glanced at Wang Rui gratefully, and slowly stood up......
……
At 7:15, the starters of both sides stood in the players' tunnel, ready to play. The Udinese players looked arrogant and did not squint.
The Wolves players no longer looked frustrated, and they were already motivated by Ince's infectious pre-match speech. Peter's eyes were a little red, he didn't expect Ince to trust him so much and withstand the huge pressure to let him start.
Wang Rui's face was calm, and Kending, who was a little nervous, slowly calmed down when he saw that he was so calm. In order to make Peter more relaxed, Wang Rui whispered to him: "Look at their amazing bird appearance, people who don't know still think that they are a certain giant in Serie A." ”
If it had been in the past, Peter would have called for peace, but now Peter didn't say a word, silently watching the end of the players' tunnel. Wang Rui saw his friend like this, sighed in his heart, and stopped talking.
Some things are on your own, and others can't help you solve them.
Led by four referees, players from both sides walked out of the tunnel and onto the pitch. There was a tsunami of cheers as the Udinese fans cheered on their team.
On the south side of the course, there is an orange color, which stands out in black and white. But at this time, the orange is quiet like a tulip that is quietly blooming, and it is not visible.
The clubbing incident hit them hard, they were supposed to come in high spirits, and whoever thought of going to Italy heard about the crazy thing about Wolves going to the bar last night.
It hurt them a lot, and where did the enterprising team last season go?
Udinese fans knew how to hit their opponents, and one fan got the Sun and yelled at Peter: "Prince of Clubbing!" ”
A huge boo followed.
Peter's face became more and more ugly, and Kending hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Calm down! Calm down! ”
Luca, the commentator of the Milan sports station, began to introduce the starting line-up of both sides: "Marino has a four-three-three attacking formation for Udinese, goalkeeper: Handanovic; Four defenders: Dossena, Zampata, Felipe, Mesto; Three midfielders: Siwalker, Opodo, Pingzi; Three forwards, Asamoah, Quagliarella, Di Natale. ”
"The Wolves formation is 442, and what is surprising is that Peter, the protagonist of the clubbing incident, is still in the starting lineup. If Peter doesn't perform well, Ince will definitely be bombarded by the media after the game......"
Sky TV commentator Kent said: "Last night's clubbing incident put Wolves in the whirlpool of public opinion and cast a shadow on this game. The British media did not let go of the Wolves, especially Peter, the protagonist of the clubbing incident, and some media sarcastically asked, 'Does he want to use his chest muscles to conquer Italy?' ’”
"Affectionately known by Wolves fans as 'the four sharpest teeth in a wolf's mouth!' The three of them were involved in the clubbing incident, which would have a great impact on the Wolves, and the only thing that was fortunate was that Wang was not involved in the clubbing incident and avoided the media fire. Hopefully he can lead Wolves to a high-level game tonight. ”
Kent didn't dare to say that the Wolves could get points from this piece of turf, and he pinned the hopes of the Wolves on Wang Rui.
The group of reporters on the sidelines, the Italian reporters looked relaxed, the British reporters had worries in their eyes, and the battle of words that took place outside the stadium in the afternoon linked them to the fate of Wolves.
Park Chenghuan looked at Wang Rui with a complicated expression, he didn't care about the victory or defeat of the Wolves, the only thing he cared about was Wang Rui.
Damn, why didn't you go to the bar last night?
Well, you're in luck......
Park Sung-hwan began to comfort himself: Anyway, he is using a killing strategy now, and he didn't go to the bar just to make him a little higher. If Wolves get out of the way tonight with his good performance...... I could hold him a little higher!
Thinking of this, Park Sung-hwan felt a little better, but he always felt that there was a place in his heart that was not smooth. He was about to wonder what was wrong with him, "Tick! ......" and the game began.
The whistle at the start of the game kept his attention on the greenfield.
