No. 436: Entering the England team list!

Three days after returning to Wolverhampton, Wang began recovery training, but Ince ruled him out of the Burnley squad after consultation with the team doctor.

On December 20, the 18th Lun of the Premier League kicked off, and Manchester United challenged Fulham away.

Manchester United, who have just experienced a humiliating defeat, are thought to be difficult to get away from home. Slaughtered by Wolves, pub incidents, Manchester United became the protagonist of negative press.

However, it was a big surprise that the United stars played the momentum of the Premier League supremacy at Craven Villa, Rooney proved his worth with his actions, scoring twice in the first half, and Portuguese midfield talent Nani sealed the win in the 10th minute of the second half.

In the subsequent game, Manchester United was full of firepower, venting the frustration of losing to Wolves on Fulham, and in the 19th minute of the second half, Nani crossed, Park Ji-sung grabbed the point in the middle, and the score became 4-0!

In the 31st minute of the second half, substitute Ryan Giggs shot hard from the right side of the penalty area, and the score became 5-0!

In the 40th minute of the second half, Manchester United won a penalty, and Rooney scored a hat-trick to lock the score at 6-0!

The Manchester media vomited their depression, and the Manchester Life newspaper shouted: "Manchester United used a hearty 6-0 victory to tell the world that Manchester United is still the hegemon of the Premier League!" ”

The Manchester Evening News shouted: "The king is back!" ”

The Guardian asked: "If Manchester United had played such a fluid combination in the last game, could Wolves have come out of the Theatre of Dreams?" ”

On the 21st, Wolves, who returned to their home stadium, swept Manchester United 8-1 away, and with three goals from Bale, Kentin and Peter, they easily defeated Burnley 3-0 and consolidated their position at the top of the table.

And won the Premier League halfway championship one round ahead of schedule!

Winning the halfway race as a promoted team is something that has never happened since the inception of the Premier League.

The British media gave Wolves great praise, and Wang Rui has become a name often mentioned in the media. Many media believe that it was his excellent performance that Wolves rewrote history and set a new record.

Chelsea, who moved up to second place in the previous round, drew 1-1 away at West Ham United and took the opportunity to regain second place in the table, with a five-point gap to Wolves.

There was a big upset in this round of the game, and the giants Liverpool lost 0-2 away at the bottom of the points at the feet of Pusmouth. Wolves' opponent in the next round is Liverpool, and the outside world thinks that Liverpool at home is unlucky.

One is two wins in a row and it was so easy to win, and one is a new defeat away. Defeated at the feet of the weak brigade, the two sides were too different in morale.

Liverpool's local media don't think so, Manchester United's home defeat can bounce back immediately, can't Liverpool?

They put forward another tactical point - Wolves' crazy wolf tactics are actually high pressing, and Liverpool are the giants who do the best high pressing. For the crazy wolf tactics that other giants are helpless, it is nothing in front of Liverpool.

In an interview with the media, Ince also admitted that this view has a certain degree of reasonableness: "Wolves' crazy wolf tactics are indeed learning from Liverpool's high pressing, which I do not deny. ”

"Both teams are good at playing high pressing teams and it's really hard to say who will win and who will lose. Even if we lose this game, it's nothing. After all, we are playing away games. ”

The Daily Mail believes that the outcome of this game is difficult to predict: "For Liverpool, last season was a year of recovery, with the highest points in the history of the league - 86 points! Settle for Manchester United and finish second in the standings! ”

"But for Liverpool. The biggest problem this season is that after selling the tactical core Alonso, a suitable replacement has not been found. Liverpool are now sixth in the table, a stark contrast to last season. That's why they failed to rebuild! ”

"That's why Liverpool want a king so badly, they need a tactical core, and the king has the playmaking and attacking power up front. Not only will it fill the void left by Alonso's departure, but it will also increase its attack power. ”

"Lost 2-0 at bottom of the table at the feet of bottom-of-table Putsmouth in the last round, and the disorganization of Liverpool's midfield was the biggest problem. With such a Liverpool, it is difficult to say that it will be able to rebound strongly when it returns to its home stadium. ”

"In addition, Wolves are very good at playing tough games, they are known for their tenacity, and they have come back from behind to win on a number of occasions. The most typical game was at home to Chelsea, where Wolves came from 2-0 down to win thanks to three free-kicks from the king. ”

Of course, Wolves are not without hidden dangers, and Wang, who was injured in the game against Manchester United, did not even make the squad in the last game, which shows that he has not recovered. Can Wang make a comeback against Liverpool? ”

"Without Wang's dispatch in the front court, can the Wolves' counterattack be as sharp as before?"

"So it's hard to say whether this game will be won or lost."

The media in London sided with Wolves, with The London Financier saying: "Wolves have proven themselves to be giant killers, and a big win away to Manchester United would give them an away win over a demoralised Liverpool." ”

Just when the media was predicting the next round of matches, a piece of news shocked the UK was released!

On December 24, Capello announced the new England team training list, and Wolves have a total of four players on this list!

Wang Rui, Peter, Kending, Oaks!

Four men are in the England squad, the same number as Chelsea, with only two from giants Manchester United and Liverpool!

It's the glory that belongs to Wolves, it's the glory that belongs to the small town of Wolverhampton!

In addition to announcing the squad, Capello also announced the opponents and time and place of England's warm-up match - on January 4, 2010, Wembley Stadium against 06 World Cup winner Italy!

For the Wolves team to have four players into the new England training list, public opinion is in an uproar, and at the same time, it has also attracted a lot of doubts.

The Daily Mirror shouted: "Wolves become the biggest winners!" ”

The Guardian questioned Capello's selection criteria: "Is it based on the Premier League rankings? The top two teams have four players selected, and this selection criterion is problematic, which is not responsible for English football! ”

The Daily Mail analyzed: "Capello made good on his promise to get Wang in the England squad. The selection of Peter, Kenting and Oakes is indeed beyond people's expectations, but if you analyze it carefully, it is not unreasonable that Wolves can occupy the top position in the Premier League, which is inseparable from the excellent performance of the three of them! ”

Manchester City Life believes that the selection of four Wolves in the England team is not a good thing: "The entry of King and Kenting will intensify the competition among England midfielders, and the entry of four Wolves into the England team will also deepen the conflict within the team." ”

"Peter's arrival has a certain effect, after all, England need a strong striker like him. As for Oakes, is there another reason why a 32-year-old player is only making his debut in the national team at this age? Could this be Capello's solution to the dispute between the two virtues? ”

"If so, his method is undoubtedly wrong, and the addition of a third force will only exacerbate the contradiction, because this force is not strong enough to play a role in containment."

The doubts in the UK have also attracted the attention of the famous Italian sports media Milan Sports Newspaper, after all, England's warm-up opponent is Italy.

They said: "The announcement of the new England training squad has caused a lot of skepticism in the British media, mainly because Wolves have four players in the squad, and all of them are first-time entrants. ”

"Dubbed 'the four sharpest teeth in a wolf's mouth!' All three of the English players were selected, and Wang's selection was expected, and Wolves occupied the top of the Premier League as a promoted horse, which is inseparable from his stable and wonderful performance. ”

Peter's entry has been recognized by many media, but the selection of Kenting and Oakes has been questioned by the media. Some British media believe that this is Capello's strength in balancing the dressing room. ”

"With the selection of these three players in their twenties, it also indicates that Capello has begun to focus on the construction of a young team."

The Munich Zeitung commented: "Capello has finally complied with the call of the fans and recruited the heart of the Wolves midfield to the England team, but it is unclear whether the player, who is not yet 20 years old, will be able to establish himself in the England team with a strong midfield."
