No. 467: Careless Jingzhou!
As February draws to a close, the weather is slowly getting warmer, and the Premier League is still in full swing. The season has entered a critical period, and the championship group will lose the opportunity to compete for the championship if it is not careful, and the relegation group is to keep the Premier League qualification for World War II.
On the 27th, the 28th round of the Premier League began.
The highlight of the game was Chelsea's home game against Manchester City. Chelsea, who were held to a draw by Wolves in the last round, will be at home to Premier League upstarts Manchester City.
The game was full of gunpowder, the two sides acted rudely, the referee showed seven yellow cards and two red cards, and Manchester City, who were playing away, won the away game with a score of 4-2.
The Wolves players were not happy for long before news of United's 3-0 home win over West Ham United arrived. Manchester United leapfrogged Chelsea with the win to move second in the table, narrowing the gap between them and Wolves to two points.
Wolves' opponents are Bolton Wanderers, who will be playing away. Bolton are currently 15th in the table, close to the relegation zone, and Ince has cautioned his players to be cautious with their opponents.
At four o'clock in the afternoon of the 28th, Reebok Stadium, with the referee's whistle, the game between Wolves and Bolton started!
Bolton took advantage of home advantage to launch an onslaught at Wolves, who had to withstand a ten-minute attack before scoring their first shot of the game.
Bolton are on the rise, but football is never about whoever has the most attacking and who takes the lead. In the 28th minute of the first half, Wolves broke the deadlock by taking advantage of a quick counter-attack.
Bale drove the ball straight into the Bolton penalty area, and just when the opponent thought he was going to shoot, the Welshman crossed horizontally, and Peter, who was outflanked in the middle, pushed the ball into the net!
Ten minutes later, the Wolves midfielder pressed successfully. After Wang Rui received Bale's pass, he shook off the opponent's back and made a diagonal pass. After Peter got the ball, he used his strong body to fight into the box and fired a low shot.
Bolton goalkeeper fights hard to save the ball!
A gray figure descended from the sky like a divine soldier, and with a supplementary shot, the score became 2-0!
Kenting, who scored the goal, shook his fist excitedly in celebration, the Wolves did not score many goals at the back, and the Wolves trident had a strong attack, and he was more responsible for the defense. But his attacking prowess is in the Wolves team. Except for the trident, he is the strongest.
This time he attacked, he stepped forward at the right time, looking for an opportunity to make up for the shot, and expanded the score advantage.
After leading 2-0, the Wolves players forgot Ince's pre-match advice and felt that Bolton was nothing more than that. The source of their confidence is their impressive away results.
So far, fourteen away. Wolves have won 10, drawn 2 and lost 2, which is a result that is proud of the Premier League!
The 3-2 win over Chelsea and the 8-1 slaughter of Manchester United were classics in those many games. It is also Wang Rui's famous work in the Premier League.
With a 2-0 lead at the moment, the Wolves players thought they would take a win away at the Reebok Stadium to extend their points advantage.
Towards the end of the first half. Bolton defender Dean? Moxie took advantage of the Wolves spotting from a corner and scored a header to make it 1-2.
After the start of the second half. The game was quite close, with Bolton Wanderers, who were behind the score, attacking like a tide, and Wolves still using defensive counter-attacking tactics to threaten the opponent's goal.
In the 20th minute of the second half, Ince made personnel changes, Wang Rui was replaced, and five minutes later, Bale was also substituted. The media interpreted this as Wolves were aiming for the next round of matches.
In the next round, Wolves will face Manchester United at home, whether from the perspective of the championship or from the grudge between Wang Rui and Ferguson, the game with Manchester United, Wolves cannot afford to lose no matter what.
Coupled with the last round against Chelsea, it was so difficult to play that Ince had to prepare in advance. Wolves don't have bench depth, and the health of the "four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth" is tied to the team's results.
Ince is not willing to let them hurt while they are ahead, so it would be more than worth the loss.
In the 35th minute of the second half, Ince made a third substitution, and Kentin, who injured his nose and wore a mask in the previous round, was substituted. This substitution turned out to be a fatal mistake.
In the 38th minute of the second half, Bolton striker Stephen? Dobby shoots from outside the box, and the football goes straight to the point of view!
Bolton, who was playing at home, scored two goals in a row and stubbornly equalized!
The Wolves players were full of solemnity, the Bolton players cheered, Ince's face was ugly, and if Kentin was on the pitch, the opponents might not have a chance at all, and they could easily get up and shoot without interference.
Boosted Bolton launched an even more aggressive attack on Wolves after the game restarted, and the Wolves were in danger in front of goal.
In the 43rd minute of the second half, Bolton gave Wolves a blow to the head. Dobby jumped high in the penalty area, beat Craddock, a beautiful lion shook his head, and the football went into the net!
Without Kending, Wolves simply don't have any advantage in the air, Tiffin? Dobby scored twice to help Bolton turn the score!
Reebok Stadium cheered like thunder, Wang Rui who was sitting on the bench smiled bitterly similar to Bale, Wolves are known for reversal, who knew that it was Wolves who were reversed today.
Ince, who was standing in the command area, looked so gloomy in the slightly cold wind.
"Attack! Offensive! ”
Ince didn't want to be tied up like that, and waved his right hand to give new instructions to the player.
After the restart, Wolves pressed all over the board and they needed to use the final minutes to level the scores.
However, without Wang Rui and Bale, Peter could not stand alone, and they could not find a chance to score under Bolton's dense defence.
As the referee's whistle blew at the end of the game, Wolves were unable to defend themselves in the late quarter, and with a two-goal lead, they were beaten by Bolton for three consecutive years, reversing the score and suffering their third away defeat of the season.
At this point, Wolves are only two points clear of second-placed Manchester United, and if they lose at home in the next round, Manchester United will be able to surpass Wolves at the top of the table!
After the game, Ince walked into the field to comfort his players one by one. Back in the dressing room, Ince took the blame for the defeat: "You all did your best, the main reason for the defeat was me, my substitutions were wrong. ”
Oakes comforted: "Coach, we all know what the reason for your substitution is, and your original intention is no problem. The onus is not on you, we took the lead and thought that two goals would be enough for us to take away a win, so we relaxed a little. ”
The players nodded their heads in agreement, and Ince's face softened.
Kenting raised his eyebrows, looked at Ince and said: "The fact that we have been able to dominate the top position for a long time is enough to show that we have been successful this season. No one can control every detail, no one can control all the games. ”
Ince exhaled a long breath and said, "Thank you, but I won't let you take the responsibility for this defeat." I'm the manager of this team and I should be responsible for any result. ”
He lowered his eyes and said: "This loss adds pressure to our next round. ”
Yes, if they lose in the next round, Manchester United can overtake Wolves and occupy the top position, which is really too much pressure.
Thinking of this, the expressions of the Wolves players became solemn, no one wants to be overtaken, and it is still the top position.
The locker room fell silent.
Wang Rui broke the silence and said in a low voice: "Actually, we don't have to think about it so much, just beat Manchester United in the next round!" (To be continued.) )
