Chapter 54: Good News!
Wolves had failed to score a goal in four consecutive games and failed to win a single game before their game against Millwall, plummeting down the table until they finished in last place.
The bottom line is not the worst, Ince's first training session in office, there were two conflicts. Wolverhampton were so disappointed and furious that when Wolves played Millwall, just over 2,000 people chose to go to the game.
And these fans who came to the scene to watch the game were not to cheer for their team, but to vent their dissatisfaction with the team. So instead of shouting, the scene sounded boos.
However, with three goals from Wang Rui and Peter, Wolves won the victory at the last moment in a 0-2 disadvantage. Wolves fans, both watching the game live and watching it in front of the TV, were blown away because they saw a different Wolves team.
They saw a vibrant Wolves team, and they saw the never-say-die in this team, so Wolverhampton City talked about the most in the past few days about Wolves, the team that once made them extremely proud.
They are not very concerned about whether there will be a miracle of miracles, because anxiety is something that cannot be changed. Even if they are relegated to League Two, as long as this team can maintain that spirit, they will also be there to cheer for the team.
The people of Wolverhampton City don't care if their team is relegated, but there are people who do. The British media began to analyze the relegation situation of Wolves, and they believe that if Wolves can be relegated, it will be a miracle within a miracle.
The Guardian exemplifies this view, saying that the miracle is that Wolves can pick up at least seven points from their remaining three games. In other words, Wolves have to win two and draw one, which is of course very difficult.
Wolves' remaining three opponents are Oldham in sixth, Crewe in thirteenth and Leyton Orient in fifth.
Sixth-placed Oldham are just four points away from third-placed Nottingham, four points from three games, not an impossible overtake, and it will be too difficult for Wolves to get points against them, and if you're lucky, it's a blessing to get a point.
Speaking of the second opponent, Crewe, whose position means that they have no desire, so the most promising game for Wolves is this one.
The last opponent is Leyton Orient, a team that is currently on the verge of the relegation zone. If Wolves have one win and one draw in their first two games, while Leyton Orient have poor results in their first two games, then this one game could be the most crucial and could even decide the life and death between the two teams, with the loser likely to be relegated.
Playing well and getting seven points in the remaining three games is a miracle for Wolves. The miracle of miracles refers to the three teams in front of Wolves, which have stagnated while Wolves are constantly advancing.
Only by meeting these two conditions can Wolves succeed in relegation, and either condition is very difficult. If Ince had taken over Wolves a month earlier, perhaps Wolves would not have fared so badly.
The Daily Mail has their own opinion, they say: Wolves won at the last minute, and the media has speculated about the possibility of Wolves succeeding in relegation, the main reason is that they played with momentum in that game and did not give up when the score was down.
If Wolves continue to maintain the momentum they did in the next three games against Millwall, can't a miracle happen?
Know that the football stadium is a place full of wonders. Thinking back to the 99 Champions League final, before the end of the game, who would have thought that Manchester United could score two goals in the last two minutes to defeat the mighty Bundesliga giant Bayern!
In 05, it was also the Champions League final, and Liverpool fell behind 0-3 at the end of the first half, who would have thought that Liverpool could score three goals in a row in the second half and finally win on penalties!
……
These are two opposing views, with the Guardian not favouring Wolves and the Daily Mail believing Wolves can do wonders. The media are very clever to avoid the influence of "human favors" on the game, this kind of thing cannot be exposed, is it necessary to create a "phone gate" in the UK?
More importantly, they do not have conclusive evidence in their hands.
Time is passing fast, and before Wang Rui has come out of the joy of his debut, he will immediately face the second game of his career and face his first away trip.
On Saturday, April 20, the smoke of English One rose again, and the brutal relegation battle and promotion battle kicked off. The two teams ahead of Wolves will play their relegation battle this afternoon, while Wolves' game is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.
Ince didn't get the ball to the road ahead of time and is ready to lead his team early tomorrow morning to Oldham on the train to Oldham in Kashire. The league one clubs are not doing very well, basically losing money every year, and it is very normal to take the train to play away.
In the afternoon training, the Wolves players were still full of emotions because it was their last chance to prove themselves and decide if they would be available tomorrow. At the same time, they have also temporarily abandoned the assessment of the relegation situation of Wolves, and the games are played one game at a time, and it is useless to say more. What's more, it is very difficult for Wolves to be relegated.
Doyle finally recovered, but was very silent. Behind this silence, I don't know if it was because of Ince's irritation, or because he was reprimanded by his compatriot Elokobi.
His attitude towards everyone is the same, not taking the initiative to speak. Of course, he was labeled a "traitor" by his teammates, and no one took the initiative to talk to him.
Ince partnered Wang Rui and Tony Dinen in midfield when he was in the team's game, and asked Tony Dinen to do so, his main task was to connect the team, while Wang Rui was more responsible for the last pass.
The players observed another flavor from it - Ince is going to let Wang Rui start!
Tony Dineen didn't object to this, but was happy. For him, the tandem is easier than the last pass. Put the heavy responsibility of the last pass on Wang Rui, and he has the possibility of starting at the same time as Wang Rui.
Because Wang Rui fully proved his ability to deliver shells in the last game. In addition, Wang Rui's offensive ability is also incomparable to Tony Dining.
Being able to play to your strengths and hide your weaknesses is what all players want to see.
During the training, Wang Rui and Peter were very active, and the two young people who made contributions in the last game had the momentum of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, as if no one could stop them from moving forward now.
……
At five o'clock, the training session ended, and Ince asked all the players to return to the locker room. On the way back to the dressing room, the players' emotions suddenly soared, and their suppressed voices were full of excitement.
Peter whispered excitedly in Wang Rui's ear: "Bradford and Chesterfield have both lost!" ”
Wang Rui knew what his teammates were excited about, and he thought for a while and said: "If we can beat Oldham tomorrow, then we can surpass Bradford by one point and sit third from the bottom, and we are only one point away from Chesterfish." ”
Peter said, "Yes, as soon as they heard the news, they were excited to drink. You see the coaches are excited too! ”
Wang Rui followed his friend's finger and looked at Ince not far away, and his eyes really revealed a trace of excitement that was not easy to detect. Peter continued: "Some people say that both teams are paying off their debt and so lost the game. Fortunately, we don't have to pay off our debts, so we can play with our opponents freely. ”
After a thoughtful gesture, Peter nodded and said, "Morgan is really different, maybe he has already seen our current scene, so he is not willing to have a relationship with others." ”
Wang Rui's experience makes it impossible for him to judge his friend's statement. "Anyway, it's good news for us, and tomorrow we have more confidence," he said with a smile. ”
Peter nodded and said, "Kill Oldham!" ”
……
Back in the dressing room, Ince couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and said to his players: "You should know the news of the defeat of Bradford and Chesterfee. ”
Everyone nodded.
Ince continued: "Well, for us, there is no need for many languages! ”
"Tomorrow, we'll beat Oldham at Bondrey Park!"
Ince waved his fist and shouted, "Kill them!" ”
These words sparked the Wolves players' ambition to win, and they shouted: "Kill them!" ”
Doyle didn't yell with his teammates, his face flushed, he hadn't experienced this kind of "ambition" in the locker room for a long time.
