With a two-goal lead, West Ham United held on to the half under Zola's command.

West Ham fended off a frantic Wolves comeback, and two minutes of stoppage time came before the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Wolves walked to the dressing room with ugly faces on their faces, while West Ham United excitedly waved to the fans who came to help. Even if this is the devil's home field, the god of fate is on our side!

Wolves went on the offensive but couldn't find the back of the net, while West Ham United scored twice in a row with just a few shots, and there was a lot of talk from reporters on the sidelines.

"Ince's tactics are fine, it's just a pity that their luck is too bad......"

"'The four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!' The performances were good, but unfortunately they missed the goals again and again......"

"I think it's because they're too nervous."

"Yes, I agree with that. It seems that they are unlucky, but in fact, they are too nervous, their muscles are stiff, and at the moment of shooting, their movements are slightly deformed, so they pass by the goal! ”

'Maybe in the second half they'll relax a little bit and things will get better.'

"Not really, after two goals down, Wolves will be in a hurry to equalise and the defence will be empty. As long as West Ham can take advantage of one or two counter-attacking opportunities and widen the gap again, Wolves will definitely collapse! ”

"What is the level of Wolves' positional warfare? How good are they at breaking down dense defences? ”

The people who can ask such questions are journalists who are not familiar with Wolves.

A reporter who is very familiar with Wolves thought for a moment and said: "Before the middle of last season, Wolves didn't have many ways to deal with dense defences, but with Wang's long-range shooting and free-kick skills improving, Wolves' ability to break through dense defences has improved a lot. ”

The reporter who asked the question said suspiciously: "You mean that the Wolves team broke the dense defense, mainly relying on Wang?" ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, he said: "In that case, doesn't Zola defend him more tightly?" ”

The reporters who had a good impression of the Wolves fell silent all of a sudden.

What is strange is that Park Sung-hwan is not happy, and no one knows what he is thinking at the moment.

At a time when reporters were talking. Players from both sides return to the locker room.

There was a lively atmosphere in the visitors' dressing room, and Wolves might not have been so happy if they were just a regular promoted team. Wolves have two halos on their heads, one is the Championship champion and the other is the League Cup winner!

Looking at last season's UEFA Cup, there were four teams in the UK, all of which were Premier League teams except for Wolves.

The result was a big surprise, and it was Wolves who went further and further away, not the three Premier League teams. After Wolves reached the final. There is such a perception among Premier League teams that Wolves already have the strength of a Premier League team in a life-and-death showdown!

Therefore, Gianfranco Zola and his players have never seen Wolves as an ordinary promoted team. Although the media has been criticizing Ince for being ambitious, Gianfranco Zola believes that Wolves really have a chance of finishing in the top eight of the Premier League!

In this game, the Italians are mentally prepared to suffer defeat.

Judging by the scenes of the first half, his fears were well-founded, and Wolves were on the attack. And his team can only play counter-attack. Thankfully, his players were very competitive and took advantage of the few chances they had to score two goals.

Zola motioned for his players to be quiet. He summed up the first half and laid out the second half: "Wolves will definitely attack like crazy, there's no doubt about that, and they have a lot of attacking power. You also experienced it in the first half. ”

Goalkeeper Green had a cold sweat in his palms, and Wang Rui's two shots on the goal frame made him palpitate. If those two balls. As long as one goal is scored, then the situation will definitely be different.

Noble, who defends Wang Rui full-time, clenched his fists, and the excitement on his face was not there.

Zola saw the change in his player's expression and said solemnly: "So we can't have any relaxation, we can't have any slack!" ”

He looked at several players in the midfield and said: "Wang is the initiator of the Wolves attack, you should freeze him in the second half, focus on defending his long shots and breakthroughs, and don't give him a chance to shoot!" ”

A few players were obviously surprised, didn't their coach say at the pre-match press conference that he was not afraid of Wang shooting, but afraid of him passing?

How do you change the narrative now?

Zola's face remained unchanged and said: "When the Wolves attack can't open the situation, the king will definitely strengthen his attack power, there is no doubt about it!" Otherwise, how could he have scored eighteen goals in the League Cup! ”

The players nodded their heads, and Zola breathed a sigh of relief.

"Defending and counter-attacking was our strategy in the second half!"

"The Freeze King is our target!"

……

The atmosphere in the home dressing room was subdued, and they have been very few at home for two seasons, let alone two goals behind.

It's not that they don't do well, it's that luck isn't on their side......

Door frames......

Remembering some of the images from the first half, they felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

Ince didn't start summing up the first half and arranging the second half after the players had a slight break, as they had done before. He has been breezy and chatting with his coaching team about something.

The air in the dressing room was even more eerie as the players waited silently for the coach to speak, and the manager had no intention of speaking to them at all, but chatted with his own team at all.

Assistant coach Wenner glanced at the complicated look and signaled that Ince should have said something to the player. However, Ince didn't seem to see his prompt, and said to him lightly, "Your son should be in eighth grade this year, I've heard that he is very rebellious and often gets into trouble at school. You are often called to the school by the leaders of their schools to cooperate with the education. ”

Speaking of his son, Wenner said helplessly: "Children in the rebellious period are not easy to educate, or you are good, the two daughters are very obedient." ”

Kending whispered, "It seems that the coach is not worried about the game at all. ”

Peter raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just two balls, what's there to worry about." ”

Bell didn't speak, but his eyebrows were slightly raised.

Wang Rui nodded and said, "Peter is right, we are only two goals behind." I believe in our luck, it can't be that bad all the time. ”

With "the four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!" The other players also started talking, and the atmosphere in the dressing room was slowly changing.

Ince glanced at the player who was no longer silent out of the corner of his eye, and a faint smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Wenner followed Ince's gaze at the players and gave him a thumbs up!

It turns out that this method can also be used to resolve the depression of players!

With just five minutes to play, Ince turned to look at his players.

The chatter in the locker room slowly subsided.

When all the voices died down, Ince said in a deep voice, "Brothers, what are we waiting for? ”

"Defeat them!"

Peter only felt a powerful fighting spirit welling up from the depths of his body, gathering in his heart, and then turning into a sentence: "Defeat them!" ”

Wang Rui stood up, looked at his players and said loudly: "Defeat them!" ”

If Ince's words were a fire, then he set the whole grassland on fire, and the locker room was on fire!

Ince didn't try to make any adjustments to his tactics, he thought his tactics were fine, the only problem was that the players were too nervous.

So he used cold treatment to adjust the tension of the players, as for the effect......

As long as the tension is eliminated, your team will still be the team that makes anyone fearful!

The players walked to the center of the dressing room and surrounded Ince and shouted, "Defeat them!" ”

……

After ten minutes of hibernation, the home fans regained their fighting spirit, and when they saw the Wolves players walking into the stadium with high spirits, they let out a loud roar: "Beat them!" ”

Wang Rui only felt that his blood was boiling!

There is no god of fate in this world, and if there is, I will go and defeat him!

Park Sung-hwan looked at Wang Rui's handsome and sunny face, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and endless mockery flowed out of the corners of his mouth......

Brat! Your Premier League debut is a nightmare!

Premier League champions?

Boy, you're a joke in front of Ferguson!

Boy, if you want to play in the World Cup, wait until the next one!

In the VIP seat, Wenner, the team's second largest shareholder, turned his head to look at Morgan and asked seriously: "Do you think we can get it back?" ”

Morgan raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "It's not just to pull it back, we still have to win!" ”

Wenner touched his chin with a chubby, slightly trembling hand, and floated out a sentence: "I hope so!" ”

Morgan laughed and said, "Let's make a bet, Wenner!" ”

Wenner said firmly: "No! I don't bet on you, you've had too much luck in the past few years! ”

Morgan could only shrug his shoulders and regretfully pull out a cigar and light it, but his hand was shaking slightly...... (To be continued......)
