Chapter 124: Cold Welcome!
To be like Ince, you have to achieve what he did.
Wang Rui knows how to go ahead and what to do now. For example, in the upcoming game against Liverpool, he knew that in addition to the usual enthusiasm, Wolves must seize few opportunities to have a chance to defeat a strong opponent.
Beating the big clubs is a very uplifting thing, and even the most important thing for other teams in the Premier League. Wolves impressed in the Carabao Cup, knocking out two Championship sides and one Premier League side in quick succession to reach the fourth round.
Wang Rui hopes that the team will go further in the League Cup, and then step on the final stage and win the championship trophy. In addition to satisfying his desire to win the title, this also attracted Sir Alex Ferguson's attention.
He was desperate to win against Liverpool, who were Manchester United's sworn enemies.
When he was training for Manchester United's junior team, he knew that Liverpool were the club's sworn enemies. This mentality, the longer he spent at Manchester United, the more ingrained it became.
Think about it, if Wolves were to win against Liverpool, how would United fans laugh at their arch-rivals?
Sir Alex Ferguson would have noticed him, so he was one step closer to Old Trafford.
If his team-mates knew what he was thinking, they would understand why he insisted on his idea and must win against Liverpool.
……
The journey was long, long enough for the Wolves players to settle lunch in the car and even get a good night's sleep before arriving at Liverpool. The seven-hour journey finally came to an end, and the Wolves walked into the halls of the train station with their sports bags on their backs.
The reporters waiting in the hall suddenly came to their senses, and they surrounded them in a surging manner. Ince motioned for his assistant to lead the players out of the place, and he was left alone to face reporters.
One reporter took the lead in asking: "The last time Wolves met Liverpool was in the 29th round of the Premier League in the 03-04 season, when Liverpool won 1-0 at home. It's been four seasons and the two teams are meeting again, do you have confidence in Wolves? ”
Ince said: "Liverpool are a team that deserves respect, but at the same time, they are a strong team that has made a great contribution to English football. ”
"Wolves are just a League One team, in the eyes of a lot of people. Wolves vs Liverpool, if I say we're going to win, a lot of people will take it as a joke. ”
Sure enough, some reporters began to laugh.
Ince didn't laugh and continued: "If Wolves are a pack of wolves, then Liverpool are a pack of elephants. Wolves are going to win against Liverpool, and no matter how you look at it, they have no chance. However, we will do our best to win! ”
"Some people say my tactics are 'crazy wolf tactics', so tonight we want to show the world how my crazy wolf tactics make Liverpool uncomfortable!"
"Yes, four seasons, '03-'04, for Wolves, it's both glory and shame. Just because Liverpool beat Wolves four seasons ago doesn't mean they can beat them now. ”
A reporter shook his head, four seasons ago, the Wolves were stronger than they are now. What the Wolves team didn't do, can the Wolves team do now?
One journalist asked: "So, your Wolves will continue to press up at the back tonight as they did before?" Aren't you afraid of Torres' speed? ”
Ince didn't pause and said directly: "Of course, we will continue to carry out the previous tactics, because this tactic has allowed us to achieve good results. ”
'Fernando Torres is a good striker and good pace, but we have a fast defender in the team who will definitely contain him.
The reporter asked, "Are you talking about Kending, the young player in the team?" ”
Ince nodded and said, "Yes! ”
A nineteen-year-old who has only played a dozen League One games and a few League Cup games and wants to contain Spain's talented striker?
Is this possible?
A journalist asked: "Do you agree with the belief that the outcome of this game depends on who can control the midfield?" Also, do you think Wang will be able to maintain his excellent form for more than two months in this game? ”
Wolves were a seven-hour train ride, while Liverpool didn't have to worry about the journey. Even if the teenager Wang Rui can defy the sky, it will be difficult for him to perform well at Anfield.
Ince thought for a moment and said: "I agree with the view, the outcome of this game depends on the control of the midfield. As for the king's performance...... I'm sure he'll be in good shape as always. ”
"Maybe you don't believe what I'm saying, but I'll just say another reason, his dream is to set foot at Old Trafford one day because he's coming out of the Manchester United Academy."
Everyone understands this, and it's understandable that a player who wants to be Manchester United and is bent on beating Manchester United's sworn enemies. But the reporters thought of something else, they looked at each other, Wang Rui was a player who was dropped by Sir Alex Ferguson, and Ince now says that his dream is to become a player for Manchester United?
What does that mean?
And when the media broke the news that United had abandoned the youngster two years ago, United adopted a silent approach. Could it be that the youngster really has a personal vendetta with Sir Alex Ferguson?
……
The game was scheduled for half past seven in the evening, and the Wolves got off the train and went straight to a small hotel where they wanted to rest. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Wolves settled dinner in a small restaurant, and at five o'clock they headed to Anfield Stadium early.
When I arrived at Anfield, it was half past five. When they were about to enter the stadium, the stadium security did not let them enter the stadium early!
Their reasoning was that the team could only enter the stadium an hour and a half early.
They said it was the FA's rule!
Ince had no choice but to let his players sit and rest on the sidelines. This made Wolves angry, and in League One, the away team often went straight to the dressing room of the stadium after getting off the train in order to save the start, and the management of the opposing stadium would not be embarrassed.
And when it came to Liverpool's home stadium, they were closed.
Peter sat down on the steps, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and said viciously, "Damn, they must have done it on purpose." If before that, I hadn't found the courage to win against Liverpool, now I did! ”
He turned his head to look at Wang Rui beside him and said, "Wang, let's win Liverpool together tonight!" Let them look at people! They must be pained, and they must be left with a profound lesson! ”
Wang Rui said with a smile: "You also have ...... reason for this."
Then, his face sank and he said, "However, what you said makes sense, our goal tonight is to win!" ”
Kentin, who was sitting next to them, nodded vigorously and said, "Let's sit outside the court...... Defeat them! ”
The behaviour of the Anfield management not only failed to demoralize Wolves, but instead inspired Wolves to fight even more. If they heard Wang Rui's words, would they regret their actions?
Of course not, in their eyes, Wolves are not an opponent to be respected.
Miraculous relegation last season?
God, that's just relegation, not championship!
Thirteen consecutive wins in League One this season?
God, that's League One, is the level of League One very high......
Three wins in a row in the Carabao Cup, two Championship teams and one Premier League team?
God, that's because they didn't meet Liverpool, otherwise they would have lost a long time ago!
……
Twenty minutes later, Wolves entered the visiting dressing room, where they quickly changed into their training clothes and went to warm up and get used to the field. The turf is neatly cut like a green carpet, and running on it is a great pleasure.
After running a few steps, Peter forgot his previous unhappiness and shouted, "It's fucking comfortable to play on this kind of turf!" ”
The staff on the sidelines gave him a disdainful look, then shook his head and said, "Hillbilly is hillbilly......"
Kendin touched Peter and looked at the sideline staff. Peter took one look at it and said confidently, "This piece of turf is already very comfortable, and I am not lying. And I'm praising them, and they should be happy. ”
Wang Rui on the side shook his head with a smile, and then looked up at the stands. Anfield, which has a capacity of more than 40,000 fans, has the same colour of seats as their jerseys – red!
Red as blood!
Perhaps it is this color that makes the Liverpool team full of enthusiasm and often able to play iron-blooded games. This red reminds him of Manchester United.
Manchester United's red is similar to Liverpool's, it's his dream colour.
"Hurry, Wang, jog!"
Peter looked at Wang Rui, who was distracted, and shouted, "What are you thinking?" This is not okay, and distraction during the game is the most taboo. ”
Wang Rui followed, scolding with a smile: "Now there is no competition, what's wrong with being distracted." ”
……
Soon after, the Liverpool players also came to the pitch, and Wang Rui glanced over, he was looking for Gerrard. Who is the best midfielder in England right now?
Ninety per cent of people would say: Gerrard and Frank Lampard!
In Wang Rui's eyes, Gerrard is not only the best midfielder in England, but also a loyal representative. He has stayed at Liverpool since his debut and has treated the team as if it were a lifelong service.
Wang Rui once had this idea, he served Manchester United all his life, but he is not a Manchester United player now.
"Don't look?" Peter whispered a warning to him.
"Why?" Wang Rui asked as he glanced at Gerald's sunny face.
Peter whispered: "People usually look at the players of the big clubs with envy, and you say that when you look at them with this kind of gaze, where do we have the courage to beat them. ”
As soon as Kending heard this, he was a little frightened and immediately withdrew his envious and respectful eyes. Wang Rui shook his head with a smile and said, "I did have envy and respect in the eyes of Gerrard just now. ”
Peter pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I see, I'm not wrong......"
Wang Rui's next remarks made him speechless.
"What I envy is not that he is in a big club like Liverpool, but that he is happy to play for a team for the rest of his life. I respect what he's achieved in football and I think most people give Gerrard a thumbs up when they talk about it, and even the United fans don't say it but they approve of him in their hearts. ”
"Envy and respect will not shake my determination, but will only motivate me to keep moving forward."
He looked at the flat turf under his feet and said, "We will play on this turf one day!" ”
Kending nodded and said, "Yes!" We're going to be able to play on this turf one day. ”
Perhaps thinking that Wang Rui had stolen the limelight in front of Kending, Peter muttered: "Aren't we already playing on such turf now?" ”
Kending felt that he had misunderstood Wang Rui's meaning, and said, "The king's meaning is not what you say, but what you say......"
Peter interrupted him stiffly and said, "I know, I know, it's not just playing in a big club." On the train, Old Ince had already said it, he was just picking up Old Ince's words, and there was nothing new......"
