In the visiting dressing room at Bondrey Park, Ince snoozed in the only chair in the room, while the others slept either on a patchwork bench or directly on the floor.

As Ince's mobile alarm went off and the locker room suddenly woke up from its sleep, the players stretched, quickly changed their equipment, walked out of the dressing room, and walked towards the pitch. Ince and his coaching team were at the end of the game, and they were still discussing the details of the game.

Bundry Park is very small, the smallest stadium Wang Rui has ever seen, not to mention compared to Old Trafford, even some domestic stadiums are not comparable.

The first away trip was about to begin, Wang Rui retracted his gaze and followed his teammates to start warm-up activities under the leadership of the assistant coach. When Wolves warmed up for almost a dozen minutes, Oldham came in to warm up. Perhaps in their opinion, Wolves are not a team they deserve to take too seriously.

As time went on, more and more fans entered the stadium. Tom pointed to Wang Rui and his companions on the turf and said something, Uncle Mullin and the old guys were looking for their places with their tickets.

Lytice sat quietly in a corner alone, looking at the big boy on the turf who stupidly jumped into the icy river to save himself, her eyes brightened.

At half past two, the players from both sides began to leave the field and walked to the locker room.

In the visiting dressing room, Ince began to announce his starting line-up, and the players started to get nervous again.

"Oakes, Eckham, Craddock...... Tony Dining, Wang Rui......"

After Wang Rui heard his name, he took two deep breaths, tried his best to calm his emotions, and finally started!

Sure enough, it's with Tony Dinein!

A starting XI is the highest recognition of a player's ability and form.

Peter sat next to him, his face calm, as if he didn't feel strange about his friend's starting list, but his hands kept loosening and clenching. What is he nervous about?

“…… Peter! ”

Finally hearing his name, Peter breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and smiled at Wang Rui. This starting line-up is a change from the previous game, when there were six former substitutes, and this one has been reduced to four.

However, the change did not cause any dissatisfaction, and everyone understood that Ince was keeping his promise that whoever was in good form would play.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, although the expressions of the players on the squad have not changed much, but the look in their eyes cannot be hidden. And those players who didn't make the starting line-up couldn't hide their disappointment.

After reading the list, Ince glanced around and said, "Everyone saw and heard the scene that happened on the bus more than an hour ago. A person's face and dignity are not given by others, but by one's own hard work. ”

"It's the same with a team, don't imagine that your grades are bad like a piece of shit, and people will respect you, it's unrealistic. The reason why I didn't stop it is because I hope that after listening to those words, you will be ashamed and courageous! ”

Ince paused for a few seconds, looked at the battle spirit rising in the eyes of his players, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Today's game, everyone knows its importance, I won't say more." ”

"We have only one goal - to take three points!" Ince's voice was firm, iron-clad firm.

This iron-like firmness accelerates the flow of blood among the players, and the whole locker room is filled with a smell called "iron blood". There was a steely determination in them.

……

At the moment, in the home team's dressing room, Oldham coach Ellington is doing pre-match agitation.

"Wolves have a new manager, Ince was intimidating when he was a player, but he was a rookie when it came to coaching."

Ellington laughed, and Ellington laughed, proud of how difficult it was to lead Oldham to where he is now, and he felt a little complacent. If their opponents weren't Wolves, and the Wolves manager wasn't Ince, he might have restrained a bit.

"He tried to lead a group of rookies to create miracles, this is a fool's dream!"

Of the eleven players who started the last game against Wolves, six players were former substitutes, three of whom started for the first time in their careers, and the main contributors to Wolves' last win Wang Rui and Peter were completely rookies.

So, Ellington thinks Wolves are a bunch of rookies.

"Give these rookies a lesson what football is and how it is played." Ellington's voice was cold: "Win the Wolves, continue to attack the Championship, your glory is coming!" ”

With that, Ellington's face flushed. Yes, if he can lead a small team like Oldham to the Championship, in addition to the glory of these players, he will also be bathed in glory.

Taking this opportunity, Ellington may be picked up by other big clubs, and then his coaching career will start another brilliant period!

"Kill those rookies!" One of the players shouted as if he saw himself racing through the Championship.

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The other players shouted excitedly that it was not a difficult time for them to take out Wolves at home, who were deep in the relegation zone.

……

At 2:45, the starters of both sides walked out of the locker room and stood in the players' tunnel, waiting for the referee to take them into the field.

Peter, who got the start again, was very excited, and kept talking in Wang Rui's ear, what "You have to give me a few more wonderful passes like you did in the last game......"

What "Kevin Foley will definitely be targeted by the other party, you have to pass him less and pass me more......"

Wang Rui finally interrupted him, looked at the Oldham player, and whispered in his ear: "Everyone else is looking at you." ”

Peter was stunned, closed his mouth, and looked at Wang Rui's line of sight, only to see that the opposing player was looking at him with disdain, and even one person mocked: "A rookie is a rookie, and a starter is excited like this." ”

Former Peter was a substitute for Wolves, rarely playing, and was a lower-level player in the team. He'd heard too much of the taunts from Doyle and Elokobe, but he felt he was not what he used to be, starting two games in a row, showing that he was an important member of the team.

More importantly, he scored the first goal of his career a week ago, and that was an important goal that helped the team recover the score and lay a solid foundation for the final comeback.

Then, mockery or something, you should insulate yourself.

Now Peter is full of spirits and has the momentum to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger, where will he be as low-key as before.

Peter retorted: "I'm a rookie, right, what qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?" ”

Peter's counter-attack filled the tunnel with gunpowder, and players from both sides glared angrily. Craddock, who has never spoken much, turned the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to the Oldham player who was taunting Peter: "Is Oldham amazing? Oldham ever spent time in the Championship? Or have you spent time in the Premier League? ”

"Have you ever played in the Premier League?"

Wolves have only been in the Premier League for a short season, but that still allows them to hold their chests out against a team like Oldham.

The Oldham players' faces turned red, and these words pierced their lives, although Wolves are down now, but no matter what, this team has also been in the Premier League.

Wang Rui's eyes were bright, and he suddenly thought about one thing clearly, why are so many players still willing to stay in the team of those teams that look down now.

Just like after the outbreak of "phonegate" in Italy last year, so many stars of Juventus were willing to be relegated to the second division with the team, rather than transferring.

A team like Juventus has a long history and a great record, and when they argue with other players, they can ask each other: Is your club great? How many Serie A titles, how many Champions League wins? Do you know how many times Juventus have won?

When these words are spoken, it feels very cool to watch the other party speechless. If the opponent resists stubbornly, you can add a few words: Have you played in the Champions League? Have you ever played a Champions League final? How many championships have you won?

Unless it's a team like Milan, the players of other Serie A teams will inevitably lose immediately.

It turns out that this is the heritage of the wealthy family!

The Oldham players, who were clamoring to teach Wolves, a rookie team, looked at each other. Oldham have been hovering in the lower leagues for a long time, and this year's sixth place in the table is already the best ranking for this player. Where did they come up with evidence that could refute Craddock.

For a while, the momentum of the two teams was exchanged, everyone in the Wolves team looked down, and everyone in Oldham bowed their heads and said nothing.

If Ellington had watched this scene, he would have screamed badly.

I'll update a chapter every day next week, so let me take a break. Update time, Monday to Friday, around 8 a.m., weekend, noon update!
