Wolves will only have to take a short break after their home win over Charlton Athletic as they head into the second leg of their UEFA Cup quarter-finals.

Compared to the Championship, if you lose a game, you still have a chance to get it back, and this UEFA Cup game must be won.

And their 2-2 draw away from home to a strong CSKA team in the first leg laid a solid foundation for qualification, and in this case, they cannot afford to lose.

The match against the Shakhtars taught them that anything could happen until the game was over. They don't want to be miners and lose out on a good game.

Wolves are in the devil's schedule and they have five games to play in two weeks, and all five games are very important for Wolves, as they stake to qualify for the UEFA Cup and the Championship.

On March 18, Wang Rui, Peter, Kenting, and Bell all received phone calls from 442 magazine, hoping that they could attend the "Top 50 Players in England's Leagues at All Levels" award party on the 19th.

"The four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!" Last year, they were all ranked in the top ten, and Wang Rui was ranked first and won the title of "Best Player in League One".

This time, all four of them very simply refused the invitation of the magazine, because the second leg of the match between Wolves and CSKA will be played on the 20th, and the two have a time conflict.

The list of "Top 50 Players in England's Leagues at All Levels" was announced a few days ago, Wang Rui won the first place in a row, Peter rose from third place last year to second, Bale's ranking has not changed, it is still sixth, and Kentin has risen from tenth to fifth!

If the four Wolves don't go to the awards gala, then almost half of the top 10 players won't be able to go, which is a huge impact on the gala.

442 Magazine announced on the 19th that the awards party was rescheduled to the 25th!

The decision did not cause much opposition, after all, Wolves represent English teams in the UEFA Cup. The Daily Mirror believes this is the respect that 442 magazine has for Wolves.

"At the important moment when it comes to qualifying for the League Cup, 442 Magazine chose to support Wolves, and the performance of Wolves in the League Cup not only conquered Europe, but also won the respect of the British media!"

……

Time flies, the season has entered its most critical moment, and any mishap can cause immeasurable damage. Another piece of good news for Wolves is that they have few injuries and their main players are healthy!

And CSKA did not have such good luck, as many as four of their absolute main players were injured. Three of them were determined not to compete in the second round.

On 19 March, CSKA Moscow arrived in Wolverhampton and checked into the four-star hotel in Morgan. A few seasons ago, the hotel was a taunt to the Wolves owner, but as Wolves' results improved, it finally had a place to use.

CSKA Moscow has been very low-key since arriving in England and is actively preparing for the second leg.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the 20th, the pre-match press conference was arranged at the four-star hotel in Morgan, and Ince did not have any ease on his face. Instead, he said solemnly: "CSKA is a strong force, so we will take them seriously." ”

"We can't live up to the city's high hopes for us, and we can't afford to waste the solid foundation laid in the first leg!"

CSKA boss admitted: "Wolves back at Molinox are a big team! ”

"But we won't give up any hope, we'll fight until the last minute!" ”

At the press conference, the coaches of both sides did not have a saber rattling. But you can also feel the tense atmosphere of the imminent war.

The game is scheduled for 7.30pm, and when night falls, Wolves fans call out to friends and don their home shirts. Wrapping up a scarf with the Wolves logo on it, holding the Wolves flag or banner, they rushed towards Molinox Stadium.

Seven fifteen minutes. Under the leadership of the referee, the players from both sides walked out of the players' tunnel, and the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis came to their faces, which made the players of CSKA Moscow look more serious.

Compared to the grandeur of the Luzhniki Stadium, the Molinox Stadium is a little more "small", but the Molinox Stadium, which can seat 40,000 people, is almost full!

In the first leg of the match, more than 20,000 home fans came to cheer for the home team at the Luzhniki Stadium, which can seat more than 80,000 people, making the whole stadium seem "deserted" a lot.

The Molinox Stadium differs from the Luzhniki Stadium in that this stadium is a dedicated football stadium with no running track around the football field. This way the fans are closer to the stadium and the players are a little more oppressive.

Compared to CSKA Moscow's seriousness, the Wolves players were even more imposing after hearing the cheers of the home fans!

"Tick! ......" With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!

The wolves are like a pack of wolves that have been hungry for a long time, completely taking football as their prey, and pounced fiercely!

CSKA knew how well Wolves pressed high and moved the ball to the front court, using faster passes to avoid the Wolves' frantic pressing in the midfield.

Returning to home Wolves is truly terrifying, and they have completely shown their distinctive style of play, pressing aggressively and counter-attacking quickly.

In the second minute, Wolves snatched the football to their feet, and Kentin launched a quick counterattack with a long pass. The ball flew towards Peter, with the Wolves striker leaping high and CSKA centre-back Ignashevic jumping close to him.

Peter struggled to reach the ball, and the moment his forehead touched the ball, he threw it hard to his right back!

The football flies towards the penalty area!

I saw an orange figure like lightning, starting from near the middle circle, and in an instant he overtook a CSKA defender at a gallop, and was about to plug in to get the ball!

CSKA right back Ramon, seeing that Bale beside him was about to die, a trace of determination appeared in his eyes, and his center of gravity dropped, heading towards Bale's left leg.

The next moment, his right foot bit Bell's left foot like a poisonous snake.

"Ahh ......" the Welshman let out a scream and fell on the turf!

"Tick! ......" The referee blew the whistle decisively and ran towards the center of the incident, and the home fans shouted: "Red card!" Red! Red! ”

Wolverhampton TV football commentator Andy? Keogh shouted into the microphone: "Ramon shoveled Bale down from behind, whether it is from the foul action or the serious consequences of the foul, he should be given a red card!" ”

The referee didn't hesitate, it was a red card to Ramon!

CSKA's faces turned pale all of a sudden, they were already at a disadvantage, and this game had just begun, and they had to fight with one less man......

Many CSKA players were sad, their eyes full of disappointment and helplessness, and the Wolves were even more imposing!

After a deep sigh, the CSKA coach replaced a striker, replaced a defender, and gave his players a command to "defend to the death" before the game restarted.

Sky TV commentator Kent exclaimed: "Now the balance of victory is tilted in Wolves' favor, and all Wolves have to do is open the door to victory as soon as possible and break through the CSKA goal!" ”

However, CSKA, which was bent on defending to the death, erected an iron wall in front of the penalty area, and the Wolves' attacks were in vain again and again. Watching the football fly out of the bottom line again and again, or being blocked by CSKA players with their bodies, the Wolves players are not impatient, they are no longer European "rookies".

CSKA held out until the end of the first half, when Kentin's corner was breached.

In the fifteenth minute of the second half, Wang Rui made a wonderful long-range shot 30 meters away from the goal, expanding the score to 2-0!

In the twenty-ninth minute of the second half, Wang Rui, Peter and Kenting had a wonderful cooperation between the three in front of the CSKA penalty area.

"Tick! ......" The referee's whistle blew and pointed to the penalty spot!

Wolves' first penalty taker, Wang Rui, made it 3-0 in one fell swoop!

Ince has decided the big picture, replacing Wang Rui, Peter and Bale successively, because they still have to play in the Championship two days later.

These three youngsters are good at Wolves attacking the city, and only by giving them a good rest can Wolves have a chance to maintain their lead in the fierce battle for the top spot in the Championship.

In the ensuing game, Wolves were at full pace, after all, the score was enough to qualify for the quarter-finals. If you are aggressive and annoy the CSKA players, if the opponent plays "black feet", the gains outweigh the losses.

Wolves finally defeated CSKA 3-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the League Cup with an aggregate score of 5-2!

So far, Ince has fulfilled his promise and led Wolves to the quarterfinals of the League Cup! (To be continued......)
