No. 186: Won the League One championship nine rounds in advance!
Where there is a goal, there is motivation, and the Wolves who have found motivation have regained their fighting spirit, and they are serious in training!
This change surprised the spectators on the periphery of the training ground, and those who did not understand the reason for the change nodded their heads. And the reporters with professional knowledge and sensitivity, after looking at each other in surprise, said: "Does Ince want to create an unbeaten record in League One that has never been seen before or since?" ”
Ince did not hide his ambitions, and he said directly to reporters: "We really want to set this unbeaten record!" ”
'We really want to set a season unbeaten record in League One!'
Public opinion is in an uproar!
The Daily Mail commented: If Wolves do do it, then they will remain in the history of English football forever!
The Times commented: After making history and winning the Carabao Cup, Wolves are on their way to a new goal - a season unbeaten run in League One!
Wolves won the League Cup, Park Sung-hwan could only pinch his nose and praise Wolves and Ince, which made him very unhappy. Now Ince has unexpectedly released a bold statement, where would Park Sung-hwan let go of such an opportunity.
He wrote an article in the Guardian newspaper to ridicule Wolves, saying: After winning the League Cup, Wolves' desire is extremely inflated, and they want to create an unbeaten record that has never been seen before or since!
Ince, you've been carried away by the victory, are you really no one in League One?
They shouted: "League One teams, do you hear, Wolves don't take you seriously at all!" Warriors of League One, it's time to defend your dignity!
Many media outlets don't think Wolves can accomplish this feat, with the Daily Weekly report saying that an unbeaten record in League One is more difficult than winning the League Cup. In the remaining dozen games, Wolves will run into teams with promotion chances, as well as teams with relegation prospects.
These teams will burst into amazing energy for their own benefit, and they will definitely fight Wolves. While we are happy about Ince's ambition, it is impossible for him to accomplish this feat!
……
In the face of ridicule and skepticism from other media outlets in the Guardian, Wolves players have stepped up in support of Ince.
Peter, who has already been in the eyes of the English media, said in an interview with the media: "Before we went to the League Cup final, a lot of people didn't think about us, but we did it. Now that we set new goals, some people can't help but jump out and start ridiculing us. ”
"I just want to say now, we'll do it!"
Wang Rui said in a telephone interview with a reporter from the Daily Mail: "I know it's difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, we will work hard to complete it, Ince is worth doing this, and this city is worth us doing!" ”
"It's normal for any record to be questioned before it's created. But we want a perfect season and no one can stop us! ”
On March 1, in the 35th round of League One, Wolves challenged Brighton away. Wolves were ambitious ahead of the game, vowing to win the game and show it to those who mocked and questioned them.
The game started at 4 p.m., and the Wolves midfielder pounced fiercely at the beginning of the game. As the season progressed, the Mad Wolves tactics became more and more mature, and the distance between the three lines of the Wolves was very good.
If the opposition wants to play behind, they often fall into Wolves' offside tactics. If the opponent wants to attack from the ground, the Wolves will use active movement to cut off the opponent's offensive line in advance.
Coupled with Wolves' aggressive high pressing, for the League One team, they are facing a group of crazy wolves!
In the twelfth minute of the first half, Wolves failed to attack on the right, and the football was stolen by the opposing defender. Peter didn't recycle it, and aggressively went to press, and in the rush of the opposing defender, a big foot was about to clear, and Peter stretched out his right leg.
The soccer ball hits Peter's outstretched right leg!
The alert Peter takes three steps forward to control the football at his feet!
Before the opponent's central defender made up for the position, Peter made a cross-pass, and Wang Rui inserted it in the back row!
He didn't adjust at all, he raised his right leg, and it was a powerful shot!
The soccer ball whistled like a cannonball towards the right side of the goal!
The opposing goalkeeper didn't make an effective save at all, and the ball crossed the goal line and got into the net!
The score became 1-0!
This is a typical high press and quick counterattack!
This goal inspired Wolves to have a greater fighting spirit, and in the 23rd minute of the first half, Wang Rui began to break through from the opponent's hinterland, and after breaking through three people, he made a direct pass. Kevin Foley arrives and shoots low and the ball goes into the net!
Two to zero!
In the 39th minute of the first half, the Wolves midfielder made a successful steal and launched an attack from the left side. Kevin Foley crosses from outside the box, the ball flies past the toes of the opposing defenders and the fingertips of the goalkeepers, and Peter, who is ambushed at the back post, shoots with a cushion!
The score became 3-0!
At the end of the first half, Wolves had a strong three-goal lead!
At the start of the second half, Brighton, who were three goals behind, launched a frantic counterattack, and Wolves did not have a conservative defensive line to fight against their opponents. In the eleventh minute of the second half, the opponent took advantage of the opportunity of a corner kick to pull back a goal, and the score became 3-1!
Ten minutes later, Wolves got a direct free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area, and Wang Rui's football sent out a strong spin, flying over the right side of the human wall and falling straight to the right side of the goal!
The score becomes four to one!
Ince saw that the victory was decided, and replaced the Wolves trident one after another. In the ensuing game, both teams scored one goal each, and Wolves finally won 5-2 away from home!
On 8 March, Wolves returned to their home stadium to take on Hudders. In the shouts of more than 20,000 fans at home, Wolves won the opponent with a score of 3-0 with Peter's brace and Kenting's icing on the cake!
On 12 March, Wolves beat Swindon Town 2-0 at home, ending their unbeaten run in 37 games in League One this season. They are nine games away from a 46-game unbeaten run!
What Wolves didn't expect was that the victory in this game made them unknowingly set a new record - to win the League One championship nine rounds ahead of schedule!
Because Leeds United, who are in second place, lost 1-2 at home to Cheltenham who are fighting for relegation in this round. Wolves are twenty-eight points ahead of second-placed Leeds United!
Winning the League One title nine rounds ahead of schedule is something that has not happened in League One since the establishment of the Premier League in '92. Wolves broke the previous record set by Pusmouth in 1995 to win the League One title four games ahead of schedule!
The Daily Mail said: Winning the League One title nine rounds in advance, Wolves made history again!
The Times said: Amid doubts about whether Wolves could end the season with an unbeaten streak, Wolves won the League One title nine rounds ahead of schedule with a three-game winning streak. Congratulations to Wolves and I hope they keep up the good work and finish the season unbeaten!
The Guardian was reluctant to admit defeat and said coldly: It is not surprising that Wolves can win the League One title nine rounds early, after all, their early performance is dazzling. The last nine games are the real test for Wolves, and those teams who want to be promoted and relegated will not be tied up!
This can be seen in second-placed Leeds United, who lost at home to relegation-battling Cheltenham Town in this round.
……
The people of Wolverhampton City ignored the Guardian's sneering and called out to friends, donned Wolves shirts and excitedly took to the streets to celebrate Wolves' win of the League One title nine rounds ahead of schedule.
A banner unfurled: "We are the kings of League One!" ”
"Say goodbye to League One, the Championship is coming!"
Winning the League One title nine rounds ahead of schedule, Wolves fans have the confidence to unfurl a banner that says "We are the kings of League One". With two trophies in one season, a league league team has never done before since the inception of the Premier League, and Wolves fans certainly have something to be proud of.
On March 14, Wang Rui, Peter, and Kenting went to London, what were they going to do?
