Chapter 7
Wolves' opponent this round, Sheffield United, was once a Premier League team. After being relegated, they have been playing in the Championship and unfortunately entered the First Division last season.
After thirteen rounds of the English League One, they are now ranked seventh in the league, one point away from the promotion play-offs. They are full of fighting spirit.
However, Wolves have already started fighting for relegation this season because of their weak striker.
There is still some gap in the overall level between them and Sheffield United.
What's more frightening is that after the game with Sheffield United, Wolves will have to fight two tough battles with Brentford and Leyton Orient, the two teams ranked first and second in the league.
If they are not careful, Wolves will really fall into the relegation quagmire.
This game is a top priority for Wolves.
In the fourteenth round of the English League One, Wolves ushered in the challenge of Sheffield United at home.
Molineux Stadium was bustling with people.
There were almost no empty seats in the stadium with nearly 30,000 people.
This is just a game in the English League One, the third-level football game in England, and the fans are so enthusiastic.
��See how obsessed the English are with football.
Wolverhampton fans are eager to win. After the first game, they have never felt the joy of victory again.
The team has 5 draws and 7 losses!
Even so, these fans still show up at home to cheer for their home team.
Zhao Yi was on the bench, looking at the fans who were shouting with red faces and thick necks, listening to the roars and shouts at the top of their lungs.
Zhao Yi was still deeply shocked.
His blood seemed to be slowly burning, and his whole body was shaking.
This is here, although it is only English League One, but the legend begins here!
On the north stand of Molineux, there were very discordant banners and voices. There were not only fans cheering for the team, but also some extreme fans with bad tempers.
"How can a team lose every day?"
"Trash, if you lose again I will kill you!!"
"Chinese people, get out of Wolverhampton! Get out of England!!"
"Wolverhampton doesn't need Chinese money!!"
""All Chinese people, get out of Molineux!"
These fans roared wildly, their words full of dissatisfaction with the Chinese acquisition of Wolves, and full of resentment for Wolves signing Zhao Yi.
At this juncture, using the genius clause to sign a Chinese player who can't play football?
The team has become a plaything for the Chinese!
The live camera was directly aimed at Zhao Yi on the bench.
In an instant, the fans in the north stand rioted, waving their claws.
But Zhao Yi didn't take it too seriously, because it was all a small scene.
In his previous life, when the whole audience shouted Zhao Yi was stupid, Zhao Yi smiled slightly.
Zhao Yi acted as if he didn't hear the words"get out".
Compared with those who turned around and glared at the fans, Zhao Yi's professional ethics were already very high.
Sheffield United picked the side, and Wolves kicked off from the center circle.
The two local commentators have begun to introduce the starting lineup of Wolves.
Among them, the extremely irritable commentator Bueno spoke first,"The waste Galliol sent out another 442 lineup.
The two forwards at the front are Cunhaku who didn't shoot and Medina who shot. I get a headache when I see both of them!
……"
This commentator with a strong personality is deeply loved by local fans. He is unique in his own way.
Before the start of the season, the slogan of Wolves was promotion, but now it is relegation!
"Galliol led a Championship-level team into the relegation zone of the English League One, and put two mascots in front...
The two strikers have given us many wonderful clearances in front of the opponent's goal.
Next season, they may adjust their positions and become the starting left and right full-backs.
The two of them can't see where the opponent's goal is on the field!
The number of goals scored by the two strikers is not as many as that of Doyle in the attacking midfielder position.
What's the point of keeping such a striker?"
"Garriol is a waste, the management is a waste!
They also signed a young Chinese player. I don’t know what they are thinking? ?"
Terry on the side kept trying to smooth things over, fearing that his partner would say something inappropriate."Let’s see if Wolves have a better performance in this game!" The four midfielders of the Wolves are Doyle, Gomez, Beckpond and Joel.
Doyle has the best dribbling and passing skills. At this moment, under the strong pressure of Sheffield United, only Doyle can still hold the ball.
The other three midfielders find it difficult to dribble the ball forward and can only pass it backwards.
Then the defender kicks the ball away!
A feature of English Football is to fight hard and make long passes.
Cunha and Medina in front really have a chance to get the ball, but Cunha’s breakthrough cannot enter the real danger zone. He can only sprint along the sidelines and then make a reverse triangle or cross the ball!!
"Look at this Medina, I don't know what he is doing on the field! As a striker, can he really not see the goal? ?"Bueno watched as the Wolves finally attacked, Medina received the ball and faced the defender, and kicked the ball out of the sideline in the penalty area.
"Ten meters to the left and ten meters up, he could kick the ball in! Oh my God!"
Sheffield United played very actively at the beginning, trying to use the pressure to make Wolves make coordination errors. Wolves did play a bit hard. They missed the target in two shots.
"If we seize one of these two chances! Just once! Why do Sheffield United dare to press so hard?
They should just stay in the backcourt and wait for us to attack!
Medina... wouldn't it be better to just let Doyle carry the ball into the opponent's goal from the backcourt alone? ?"Bueno was furious as he looked at the situation on the field.
It's not that Wolves don't have chances, but they just can't seize them.
Doyle's passing level and Cunha's breakthrough and chaos can create opportunities.
But no one can make the final blow.
This makes Sheffield United's players fearless and press all over the field.
Ten minutes into the game, Wolves have two excellent chances, and Sheffield United has one shot.
The score between the two sides is zero to zero.
Some fans in the stands can no longer restrain themselves.
"Medina eat shit!!"
"Are idiots only able to reply?"
"Is it just a long pass? Dribble the ball and create space!!"
""What a bunch of trash!!"
Of course, most of the fans were still cheering for their players.
Seeing that Wolves' attack was like constipation, Sheffield United's players were full of energy and began a massive attack.
Keep pressing and press forward!
The defense line is almost pressed to the center line.
After Wolves midfielder Gomez received the ball, he wanted to find Doyle, but his strength was a little weak.
The ball was directly cut off!
Sheffield United midfielder Evans pushed back, and midfielder core Mike Lee suddenly made a long pass!
The football went directly into the penalty area!
Forward Ian stopped the ball a little too long at the first time. He reacted quickly, ran two steps, and shot from a small angle before the defender pressed!
The ball went in!
0:1!
Sheffield United took the lead away from home!
Molineux Stadium erupted in fierce boos.
After Gomez's midfield mistake, Sheffield United passed the ball with two feet and broke through all the defenses!
"What the hell are you kicking?"
"There was defense before, but now there is no defense at all? ?"
"Don’t you want any face anymore?"
"God, someone please save poor Wolverhampton?"
"How can you be beaten by others? Don't you have any blood at all?"
Sheffield United can press forward without hesitation because they can't grasp the opportunities in the frontcourt.
From the scene, Wolves are also very embarrassed by the pressure.
If the forwards can seize the opportunity and counterattack sharply, Sheffield United will never dare to press forward in such a large force.
"Ian's grasp of the game! This is the gap. If we have a striker like Ian, how can Sheffield dare to play like this?"Bueno kept sighing.
Wolves kicked off from the center circle. After Beckpond held the ball, he passed it to Cunha. The match between Cunha and Doyle was very exciting.
After several consecutive passes, the fans really saw some hope.
Although there was no goal, this wonderful cooperation was also eye-catching.
The cheers of the fans rang out again.
These are the fans. They are very pure. If you perform poorly, they will scold you. As long as you perform a little bit well, they will be happy for you and cheer for you!
Doyle made a lob pass at the front of the penalty area!
Directly Passing all the defenders!
The angle of this pass is perfect!
The fans at the scene stood up and opened their arms.
Their hearts seemed to stop for a moment.
As long as there is someone at the back post!!
At this moment, the Sheffield United goalkeeper was almost scared to death.
There was no teammate in that position, only a yellow shadow!
It was the main uniform color of the Wolves.
It's over!
The goalkeeper can only open his arms and try to maximize his defensive area!
Then hope that the opponent's shot can be saved!
At this time, you can only leave it to fate!
Everyone in the penalty area turned back to look at this ball.
Medina!
"Medina!! At the back post!! Shooting!!" Bueno’s voice reached the highest point,"The ball goes in… Damn!!!""
"Fuck that idiot Medina! He missed the empty goal!
My grandmother could have kicked that ball in even if she was standing there!!
Medina, why is he still in the starting lineup?
Get out! Get out! Get off the field! Get out!!"Bueno cursed and almost stood on the table. His voice and emotions represented all the Wolves fans who were watching the game.
At this moment, Medina fell to the ground and kicked the ball out of the goal frame without anyone defending him!
Medina held his head in annoyance, Doyle shook his head, and the ball that was already in his mouth was spit out!
"The Wolves' attack was just one step away. They had more chances than their opponents, but unfortunately they were not good at seizing them."As Bueno's partner, Terry's voice was relatively calm.
"If they still can't seize the opportunity, Sheffield United will be more confident... Wolves will be in a more dangerous situation."
Both sides played very unrestrainedly on the field, often easily rushing into the opponent's penalty area, but the chances to shoot were wasted.
In the 25th minute of the game,
Sheffield United striker Ian rushed into the penalty area and fell directly in the penalty area.
"Fake fall!!"
"diving!!"
"Go to hell!!"
"The referee will die with him!!"
Seeing the referee decisively award a penalty, the fans in the stands were furious and screamed.
Burgers and fries were thrown all over the floor!
Ian took the lead and scored in one fell swoop!
0:2!
Before the game was half an hour old, Sheffield United was two goals ahead.
With this momentum, Sheffield United will score again!
And if Wolves seize the opportunity, they should also be able to score!
The game between the two sides is heading for a big score.
This is a good thing for some Chinese fans.
The gathering place for the purest fans in China, the Speed Thunder Sports app is now full of 666
"The Wolves are completely defeated!"
"Kill the home team, no money required! Kill the Wolves, this idiot!"
"And, and! One more!"
"Come out with the big 2.5 in the half!!"
"How can I lose with a score of 2.5? I want to write a book!"
"The little ball dog came out to be scolded!!"
"The technician is on the way!"
"200,000 yuan of public funds are used for the first half of the game. If the ball doesn't go in, I will go in!!"
Amid the sound of 666 and the exciting and dangerous attack, both sides attacked vigorously.
In the next 20 minutes, no goal was scored.
Cunha had a great single-handed opportunity, but because of hesitation, the opponent's defender broke the bottom line.
Sheffield United also had the regret of hitting the goal frame.
"A killer kill!!"
"Please, anyone can score one!"
"Come on, be a lifelong fan!"
"If you score two goals in 25 minutes and no goals in 20 minutes, what are you doing playing for 20 minutes?"
"Both teams will die!!"
"Two goals and still chasing? ?"
In China, ordinary fans don't know about this game in English Football League One. Only pure fans like those in Speed Thunder Sports have been paying close attention.
In the last 20 minutes of the first half, no goal was scored. These fans were more excited than those of Wolves and Sheffield United!
All the players of Wolves lowered their heads and were almost booed back to the locker room by the fans.
Among them, Medina became the public enemy of the whole audience.
This guy wasted three or four chances, two of which were sure to score goals!
If he could only seize the opportunity, this would definitely not be the case now.
Galliol stood in the locker room, looking at these dejected players.
They were not confident enough, especially Medina.
Today's performance was just a microcosm. If he continued like this, the heavy psychological pressure would defeat him and make him a complete waste player.
In the last seven or eight minutes of the first half, Doyle was no longer willing to pass the ball to Medina.
If he passed it, it would be hit away. Why pass it?
And Cunha has always disliked shooting and has no confidence in his shooting, which caused a lot of problems for the team's offense.
"Cheer up, I don't want to see you like this!
Even if we lose, we have to lose standing!
You have done very well, you have created a lot of opportunities!
It's just a little bit of luck!
Doyle, keep delivering ammunition to the front, Medina... your defense is very active and excellent!
But now I need you to send that damn ball into the opponent's goal!
Don't be stressed, put aside all psychological pressure, believe me, we will be able to overtake the score and win!"
Doyle glanced at Zhao Yi, it would be better to let him play, if he had that opportunity, he would definitely poke the ball in.
Soon, the second half of the game between the two sides began.
Medina took a few deep breaths, trying to make himself feel more relaxed.
However, the more he did this, the more nervous he became.
It seemed that his feet were a little out of control.
"Galliol did not make any substitutions. It was still a 541 lineup. Medina, as a defender, contributed three shots in this game, and the data was still very amazing."Bueno looked at Medina and felt angry.
His commentary was full of personal emotions, and he did not care about the feelings of the players and coaches at all.
He only serves himself and the fans.
In the 62nd minute of the game, amid Bueno's scolding, Sheffield United made a very clean corner kick, and Ian headed the ball into the net.
Completed a hat trick!!
Excited Ian slid off the court, and the Sheffield United players rushed over and pressed him down.
The entire Molineux Stadium was quiet, watching Ian and his teammates celebrate.
They were silent, and they didn't even have the energy to scold their home team's players.
This game was completely won at home!
The Wolves players put their hands on their hips, shook their heads, and sighed constantly.
"Score a goal! We need to score a goal! What the hell is this? ?"Bueno looked at the players on the field and shouted.
At this moment, he was just an ordinary fan of Wolves.
He felt bad and even angrier when the team lost.
The situation was not one-sided. Sheffield United's defense had loopholes, and as a result, Wolves could not seize the opportunity.
Doyle needed to organize the attack. If he got to the front, who would pass the ball to him?
""Cunha, why don't you dare to shoot? ? Medina...what is this!" Bueno sighed and pounded the table.
This is not a problem discovered in this game. This problem has existed since the second round of the league, and the management is indifferent.
How can they be promoted if they continue to play like this?
The fans in the stands were in a similar mood to Bueno.
They couldn't accept that the team lost one game after another at home.
Amid the singing of the fans, they were ravaged by their opponents.
Seven home games, no wins!
This is a huge blow and humiliation for the home team fans.
They have cursed, protested, and even cried.
But it's useless.
Today, the eighth home game.
Waiting for them is another big defeat!
Some fans are tired of cursing, sitting limply in their chairs, their eyes dull.
Some fans have left early.
The radical fans on the north stand waved flags. The flag was raised, and Galliou was shouted for his resignation.
A huge wave of voices swept over, and Galliou's face was gloomy.
He had to make changes in advance.
In the 69th minute of the game, Galliou substituted Zhao Yi.
Originally, Galliou felt that he was Zhao Yi's mentor and gave Zhao Yi a chance to play.
But now Galliou feels that this is not his redemption of Zhao Yi, but a mutual redemption of the two.
The fans of Wolves can't wait any longer. If they lose again, the head coach will really be fired.
Even if we can't win this game, you can go up and score a goal, at least to prove that there is no problem with my signing.
It can save my career a little.
Once you score two, my position as head coach will be stable.
If you can score three... you are about to be fired, and you are still dreaming!
Go, go up!
"Remember when we first met, did I ask anything of you?"Gary stood beside Zhao Yi, a little anxious, and asked
"If I can score a goal in fifteen minutes, you sign me."
"Yes, yes, you did it! Now, there are less than 30 minutes left. This is much easier than the training match. You go on the court now. See that damn ball?
Kick it into the opponent's goal!
You only have this one task!!"
