No. 248: Quarterfinals First Leg!

The more appearances you make in European competitions, the more attention you will get and the wider your future will be.

It is not an exaggeration to use "fame and fortune" to describe players, the higher the attention, the greater the fame, and the more "profit" you get.

Wang Rui is such an example, he can get a sponsorship fee of 2 million a year in the hands of Pepsi, which has a lot to do with his fame.

As for the "old guys" in the team, there was some excitement and some nervousness, but not as strong as the "newcomers".

After all, they won the League Cup last season when they were a League One team, and they have already had that psychological experience throughout the campaign.

"The four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!" Sharpening knives, they are eager to stage their own legendary stories on this stage!

Let your name appear between the lines of the media and let your name remain in the history of the last UEFA Cup.

In the last training session before the race, all four showed good form, which strengthened Ince's confidence. Speaking of the current Wolves team, "the four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!" "I've taken on the team's offensive and defensive burdens.

Especially in attack, they have scored a whopping 75% of the entire team so far!

What a horrible number, which means that once they don't play well, it will be difficult for Wolves to break down the opponent's goal!

And that's exactly what happened!

Another player who stood out was striker Kevin? Welfare!

Last season, Wolves were able to win the League Cup and League One two trophies, which were inseparable from the excellent performance of the "Trident", but with the promotion of Wolves to the Championship, the former Trident has rarely been mentioned.

With the arrival of Bell, and the rise of Kenten, "the four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!" It has replaced the "trident" as the most muttered word in the mouths of Wolves fans.

Another major reason for all this is Kevin? Welfare has rarely been a good performer this season. There are only a handful of starts. There's a rumor in the team, Kevin? Welfare will definitely leave Wolves next season.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Wolves fans were preparing at home, the Wolves players were already gathered in the dressing room at the training base. Ince announced the starting line-up, and in the last training session yesterday afternoon, Kevin Bush, who performed well? Perks appear in the starting list!

Wolves' "old guys" to Kevin? Welfare congratulated, Kevin? Welfare's face is excited!

It's back in the starting line-up and it makes him feel like he's back to last season!

As he walked out of the locker room, Kevin? Welfare whispered sincerely in Ince's ear: "Coach! Thank you! ”

Ince patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't thank me, you deserve it." Your state conquered me yesterday afternoon. ”

Showing his white teeth, Ince smiled and said, "Maybe the game is over, and I am the one who wants to say thanks!" ”

Kevin? Welfare nodded and said, "Coach, don't worry, I know what to do, I will do my best to do my own thing!" ”

……

At 3:40 p.m., most of the home fans had already entered, their faces both proud and excited. Wolves are a domestic second-tier team. They made it to the quarter-finals of the League Cup!

This is the first time in the history of the UEFA Cup that this has happened!

In a way, they're already number one!

They will be going to scare the Marseille players tonight with a loud shout, so that their team can win in this stadium and continue to play a legend in the UEFA Cup!

……

While the home fans wait for the game to start. The starters of both sides appear in the tunnel of the players.

There was no story in the player tunnel, and the players of the Marseille team did not look at the Wolves players at all, even the most famous Wang Rui, they did not take a high look.

A domestic second-tier team. What's so powerful?

The British media is fiercely competitive, and the British media is the one who is the king. Look at his face, he should obviously be an idol actor......

The Wolves players are so used to the look they have not even thought - wait and see, when the game is over, I'll knock your pride down!

It is normal for a domestic second-tier league team to be despised by others, and they have gone all the way in this kind of gaze to the present.

When the players from both sides walked into the field, the overwhelming cheers came to their faces, which made the Wolves players look up!

Marseille's faces sank, they had heard that this stadium was the "home of the devil", but when they actually faced this stadium, they felt like they were playing at home with a big team. It's a bad feeling and it's too stressful.

"No, it's just the home of a second-tier team!"

The Dutchman Zenden shook his head and said to himself.

The whole stadium was full, and in the stands, flags fluttered and roared to the sky. For Marseille players, the Wolves fans in orange shirts have turned the stadium into a terrible purgatory!

For the Wolves players, those roars are the source of their strength!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, with the referee's whistle, the game officially started!

The Wolves, who took the lead in serving, launched a fierce attack on Marseille amid the huge shouts of the home fans!

In the first minute, Bale and Wang Rui cooperated on the left side, Wang Rui's pass pierced the Marseille defense, and Bale used his speed to get the football five meters in front of the baseline.

"Smack! ......" blew and Bale passed the ball to the middle!

The ball was a half-empty ball, and Kevin, who regained the start? Welfare, beat Marseille central defender Hilton, raise his left foot, it is a push!

The ball goes towards the right side of the goal!

The atmosphere around the stadium was lively, and if it had been scored, Wolves would have had a fantastic start to the game!

Marseille goalkeeper Rudy Leo clearly didn't want to please the Wolves fans, and he pounced on the football like a hungry tiger!

The next moment, his hands were holding the football tightly!

There was a huge cry of regret at Molinox Stadium, and then the applause was thunderous, and the Wolves played with momentum in this ball, and they deserve praise!

The Marseille players have solemn faces, if the opponent does not use a push, but a powerful volley. It's hard to say whether this ball will go in the net......

Due to the intensity of Wolves' attack, Marseille's three lines were compressed so much that Wolves' attacking space suddenly became smaller, and they could only threaten the opponent's goal with long-range shots and headers.

After all, the Marseille team is a strong team in Ligue 1, and after withstanding the bombardment of the Wolves for more than ten minutes, they gradually eased up and launched an attack on the Wolves.

For a time, the two sides attacked and defended each other, showing a state of balance.

……

PepsiCo Europe, London. Vice President Jack was sitting in his office, nervously watching the TV. The result of this match, as well as Wang Rui's performance, will determine his confidence in meeting with the company's CEO tonight.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Wolves got a chance to counterattack, and after receiving a pass from Kenting, Wang Rui got rid of the entanglement of Marseille midfielder Ziani and advanced into the Marseille half with the ball.

Jack looked at the TV and shook his fists. Excited, he exclaimed, "King! Keep bringing! Kill it! Another long run! ”

However, Wang Rui did not continue to dribble the ball, and suddenly passed the football to Peter on the right side. Wang Rui's pass was very good, but Peter had a little problem receiving the ball. Stop big!

Where will the opposing full-back let go of this opportunity, the center of gravity will drop, and the football will be shoveled out of the sideline with one kick!

Marseille's midfielders took advantage of the time and immediately returned to their own half. Wolves lost the chance to fight back quickly. Jack looked at Wang Rui, who was about to catch the ball on the TV screen, and sighed: "King! Why do you want to pass the ball, bring it yourself......"

Wang Rui is the playmaker in the midfield. He wasn't a striker, so for the rest of the day, he continued to feed his teammates again and again, instead of thinking about how he was going to break through with the ball and then shoot on goal.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Marseille had a good chance to score!

Marseille launched a sharp attack on the left side of Wolves, attracting the attention of the Wolves backline, Ziani suddenly moved the football to the middle, and the Dutchman Cenden, who received in the middle, passed the football into the right side of the Wolves penalty area!

There was his teammate Niang, who didn't have a Wolves defender by his side!

When Niang got the ball, the whole stadium fell into an inexplicable panic.

"Smack! ......"Niang got the ball and shot hard!

Looking at the direction in which the ball flew out, Niang's eyes showed pain, and the only thing he could do was hope that Oakes would get out of his hands.

Oakes watched himself fly towards his football, and he didn't have time to feel ecstasy in his heart, and began to prepare to hold the ball.

Two Wolves strikers near midfield, Peter and Kevin? welfare, moving his steps slightly, Wang Rui, who was in the hinterland of the half, was also moving his steps......

Oakes stretched out his arms to meet the ball, and at the moment of contact with the ball, his hands followed the direction of the ball, and he retracted violently, while his chest pressed down slightly!

Oakes holds the soccer ball in his arms steadily!

"Coax! ……”

There was a loud noise in the stands, it was the exclamation of the home fans. While the home fans are applauding, Oakes' eyes are already looking for his teammates!

Oakes quickly threw the football to Wang Rui, who had already moved his position, and Wang Rui turned half sideways and unloaded the football with his chest!

In the Dutchman Cenden "Stop him!" In the shouting, Wang Rui made a long pass and kicked the football directly across the half!

Fight back quickly!

The two Wolves strikers were like two arrows, running wildly in the Marseille half, and Peter, who was a little closer to the football, looked sideways at the ball that fell on his upper left, and suddenly jumped high!

Kevin? Welfare suddenly slowed himself down and he had to make sure he wasn't in an offside position at the moment of Peter's pass.

Peter's head shook hard to the right!

Football towards Kevin? Fly ahead of the welfare!

Kevin? Welfare flew out like a sharp arrow, and the next moment he raised his chest and unloaded the football, and then took the football and killed it in the Marseille penalty area!

In the face of Rudy Leo's attack, Kevin? Welfare calmly kicks a low shot!

The ball flies towards the right side of the goal! (To be continued......)
