No. 210: I'm here in Europe!
In the post-match press conference, Ince made a big fuss about not winning, Wolves are not in great shape right now, and the impact of the clubbing incident has not gone away.
'It was a tough game and we had other pressures on us besides the pressure from Udinese. A lot of players were out of shape, the first half was a mess, but fortunately we woke up in the second half and not only stubbornly equalized, but even overtook the score. ”
"We played a good half!"
"Thank you to the players for their efforts in this victory, they have redeemed themselves!"
Ince praised Wang by name: "I'm very pleased that Wang has shown people his super attacking ability, and I am most happy that he stepped up when his teammates were in a slump. It was his first European game and to have a performance like that is very important for his future! ”
Udinese coach Marino also said of Wang Rui: "It's hard to imagine that this is his first European game, it's hard to imagine that he is only 18 years old now, and if it wasn't for him, we would have won this game. ”
Wolves didn't go to the pub to celebrate that night, Ince didn't want another incident, and this hard-won victory could take the pressure off public opinion and give people a few breaths.
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the Wolves boarded the plane to London, and after Wang Rui got on the plane, he picked up the newspaper to see how the media reacted to last night's game.
The headline of the Milan sports newspaper read: The youngster amazed the whole game and led the Wolves team to a comeback victory!
The headline of Torino Sport was: Udinese lost a good game, Wolves came from behind to get off to a good start in the group stage!
In the article, they wrote: Before the game, almost everyone expected Udinese to win Wolves at home, and they had too many advantages - playing at home, having the advantage of strength, no pressure from public opinion, and having a lot of experience in European competition......
The first half confirmed those advantages as Udinese ended the first half 2-0, when it was thought that Udinese would not only get a win, but even a big one.
However, after the start of the second half, the situation changed abruptly, and the Wolves team, under the leadership of the teenager Wang, carried out a crazy counterattack against Udinese. In the eleventh minute of the second half, a strange situation happened, Wolves got a corner kick opportunity, and Wang actually spun the corner kick directly into the goal!
The corner went straight into the net, and Wang opened the curtain on Wolves' goal in this way. The bizarre goal changed the mentality of the Udinese players, and four minutes later Felipe brought down Wang in the box, a stupid foul that not only gave Wolves a penalty, but also claimed a red card himself.
It was the turning point of the game, which not only allowed Wolves to equalise but also had to go with 10 men, a foul that put Udinese's first-half efforts to naught. After Wolves equalised, they took advantage of the numerical advantage and launched a tidal wave of attacks against Udinese.
The Udinese defence closed back, fended off a wave of Wolves' attacking waves, and launched a counter-attack. Di Natale almost gave Udinese the lead again in the 33rd minute of the second half, but his shot from the empty net was blocked by Wolves defender Kentin.
Wolves learned from the goal, didn't attack big and slowed the tempo. In the 38th minute of the second half, the Wolves suddenly accelerated the pace of attack, and Wang launched a quick counterattack with a long pass in the middle circle. Wolves striker Kevin Foley, who has been in a very sluggish performance in this game, volleyed a powerful volley.
Handanovic brilliantly kept the must-score out of the net and Mesto was unclean and denied by Wolves striker Peter just outside the box. Just when people thought that the clubbing-stricken Wolves striker was going to shoot himself, Peter crossed and Wang met the ball.
Football went into the net, Wolves overtook the score, and King scored a hat-trick. In the ensuing game, neither side was able to find the back of the net, and Wolves eventually won the UEFA Cup with a stunning hat-trick from Wang, taking all three points at the Stadio Friuli.
Wang was undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the match, overshadowing Udinese's golden partners Natale and Quagliarella.
The youngster, who came from Manchester United's academy and broke with Alex Ferguson, is very popular in the UK and has been hailed by the media as "the core of England's future midfield".
As far as this match is concerned, Wang showed his exquisite footwork and good vision, and his passing was eye-catching, and perhaps it won't be long before there will be a whirlwind about him in Europe.
……
Wang Rui's wonderful performance won praise from the Italian media, and the British media was even more praised.
The headline of the Times was: Corner kick goes straight to the goal, Wang scores a hat-trick to lead Wolves to a comeback victory!
The headline of the Daily Mirror reads: Youngest hat-trick in League Cup history, Wang tells the world, I'm here in Europe!
The headline of the Daily Mail read: Withstanding the impact of the clubbing incident, Wang amazed the Friuli Stadium and led Wolves to a good start in the League Cup!
The Guardian, bent on killing Wang Rui, commented: The clubbing incident cast a shadow over Wolves' first UEFA Cup game, with more than a dozen Wolves players drinking and dancing the night before the game in a local pub. Peter, one of the twin stars of the Wolves team, danced with the hot girls.
The dozen or so Wolves players lived up to the expectations of the fans, and it was as if they were on vacation rather than playing in Italy. Fortunately, Wolves still have Wang, as well as this very self-disciplined midfield core, who was not involved in the clubbing incident.
It turns out that Wang's professionalism is admirable, and the dozen or so clubbing players of the Wolves team should be criticized, they are in a mess throughout the game, as if they are sleepwalking, without Wang, Wolves will lose miserably at the feet of Udinese!
Whether off the field or on the field, Wang is a role model for the rest of the Wolves team, and he is a model for professional football!
The king told the world last night that the golden partner was not worth mentioning in his presence, and that his light completely overshadowed Di Natale and Quagliarella. His corner went straight into the net and shocked the crowd, and he started his European game in this way!
We have reason to believe that Wang will perform even better in the next UEFA Cup, because he represents the younger generation of English players!
The day before yesterday, Wang stepped off the plane and shouted to reporters, "We are here to take away victory!" At that time, many people were laughing at him, and he couldn't do anything.
However, the king did it last night, and the wolves took away a victory, and the king is omnipotent!
……
Park Sung-hwan's intentions were sinister, he held Wang Rui high while hitting other players hard. He did this to make the rest of the Wolves players have other opinions about Wang Rui.
The Guardian's report did make the other players of the Wolves team uncomfortable, making them feel a kind of respectful and staying, which brought some trouble to Wang Rui.
Since it is a European competition, the match between Wolves and Udinese has certainly attracted the attention of other countries, and the newspaper took the opportunity to ridicule Ferguson, and they used such a headline: Manchester United abandoned the Friuli Stadium, and Wang led Wolves to exit with a hat-trick and get off to a good start in the League Cup!
The biggest news in Europe this summer is that Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for 100 million yuan, and Marca, as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, did not let go of Ferguson: At the beginning of the first round of the group stage of the League Cup last night, Wolves came from behind, scoring three goals in the second half to reverse the game and win away against Udinese and achieve the first victory.
It was the first time in 36 years that Wolves had played on European stage and they were two goals down in the first half, not so much because of clubbing as because of their lack of European experience.
The brightest stars of the match were not Udinese's golden duo Di Natale and Quagliarella, although they scored a goal each in the first half. The brightest star of the game is the king who broke with Ferguson last season, the 18-year-old who shouted "Ferguson, you will regret it".
Three goals, each one so beautiful, the first goal, directly shocked Europe - a corner kick went straight into the net, this is the first time in the League Cup that this kind of goal has been scored!
The second goal came from his penalty spot-kick, which showed off his keen nose.
The third goal showed his strength and footwork, and his earth-shattering shot went straight through the Udinese goal!
Our reporter called to interview Mr. Alex Ferguson last night to hear his views on Wang's excellent performance, but the Manchester United coach hung up the phone as soon as he heard the reporter's purpose.
We don't know how he was feeling at the time, and will he regret turning away such a good young player?
It was reported that Wang hit the ground running last night and that Milan and Juventus were interested in bringing in the 18-year-old next summer.
In addition, it is said that Real Madrid has also moved his mind, coupled with the previous rumors of Liverpool and Chelsea who are interested in introducing Wang, Wang has become the vision of entering the giants, and he will inevitably lead to a battle between the giants in the future!
