Chapter 71
Vitini’s goal made Wolverhampton head coach Paul Cody panic.
But he quickly adjusted.
Just a ball.
No big deal!
While the Tyne players were still celebrating the goal crazily, Cody was already standing on the sidelines, making gestures to his players, comforting and encouraging them.
Although he made reference to Clayton Athletic's victory over Tyne, it does not mean that he is really naive enough to think that he will win in the away game.
He still considered the possibility of being scored first by the opponent.
He also prepared a plan on how to deal with the situation of conceding the ball first.
If Tyne scores a goal in the opening game, then shrink the defense first, stabilize the defense, and overcome the period when Tyne takes the lead and then has high morale. Then deal with them slowly.
What if Tyne takes the lead towards the end of the game?
Then don't worry about defense, immediately press forward and attack Tyne.
Now Tyne did not take the lead at the beginning of the game, nor did it only take the lead at the end of the game. Cody judged that Tyne would take advantage of this opportunity to expand the score in a short time.
However, he will not let the team shrink its defense to ensure that it does not continue to concede goals.
Defense is to defend, but not to defend.
But fight back.
The Tyne players must be very excited after the goal. They are eager to attack, so naturally it is difficult to keep the formation intact and compact.
The huge space behind them is the space that Wolverhampton can use to counterattack.
Then why not just concede the ball at the beginning of the game, but instead shrink the defense and defend first?
Because of physical fitness.
The game has just started, and Tyne's players are in better physical condition than they are now. They can rely on more running to make up for the holes in the defense.
Even if Wolverhampton had a chance, it would be difficult to seize it.
If you fight back at that time, the effect will be greatly reduced.
So the goals are all conceded. The strategies at the beginning and half of the game are different - although after the halftime break, the players' physical fitness will recover to some extent, but it cannot be the same as at the beginning of the game. physical condition.
After taking out the response plan that had been prepared long ago and making arrangements, Cody returned to the coaching bench, unscrewed a bottle of water, took a few sips, sat on the chair in the coaching bench, and waited for the game. Recovery proceeds.

In fact, after Wang Lie joined the team, it is not that no other Tyne players have scored goals.
For example, in the last round of the league, Tyne defeated Brighton White Mountain 4:0 at home. In addition to Wang Lie scoring twice, Charlie Cohen and Ryan Graham also scored one goal each.
Then why does it give people the feeling that Tyne depends entirely on Wang Lie?
Because except for the 2:1 away game against Bournemouth Athletic, where Wang Lie did not score, in all other games where Wang Lie scored, he was the one who took the lead.
In other words, the most difficult "breaking the deadlock" was all done by Wang Lie.
In a game, whichever side can score first will break the balance first, and the situation will be in favor of which side.
The lagging side will be in an unstable state if it wants to regain balance, and this is the opportunity for the leading side.
This is why the team that lags behind first and finally wins the game will become a "reversal" show that everyone talks about, arousing everyone's heated discussions and various inventories...
Because everyone knows that the side that scores first has a higher winning rate and a greater chance of winning. The side that loses the ball first is more likely to lose the game eventually, and it will be very difficult for them to turn defeat into victory.
In the game against Scorsese, although Wang Lie was not the first person to score a goal in the game, he directly scored all of Tyne's goals in that game, and his role was obviously greater.
In the game they lost to Clayton Athletic, Wang Lie was also the only player in the Tyne team to score a goal - he scored a goal at the last moment of the game, and before that, he also forced the Tyne team to score a goal. Leyton Athletic midfielder Kevin Zimmer scored an own goal.
These goals are strong evidence that Wang Lie is very important to Tyne.
But at the same time, some people may interpret it as Tyne is highly dependent on Wang Lie, and the team cannot function without Wang Lie...
Vitini’s goal today was Wang Lie’s representative of Taien. In a game in which Tyne played and scored, it was the first time that a Tyne player other than Wang Lie opened the scoring.
It can be said to be of great significance.
But Wang Lie himself doesn’t really care about this discussion.
So when Vitini celebrated the goal and told him that he was not a burden, Wang Lie suddenly changed his color - people who didn't understand football outside said nonsense, are you fucking serious?
Of course he is important to Tyne, and it is very important, irreplaceable.
Wang Lie has always had a very clear understanding of his own importance.
But this does not mean that except for his own Tyne players, they are all "burdens" and "make-up numbers", nor does it mean that he can win the entire Kerry game on his own - even if many of the people who promote this view are Wang Lie's fan.
This is also why Wang Lie does not engage in official fan groups or interact with fans online.
Although the media always like to promote that he has more than 400 million real fans on the Internet, Wang Lie doesn't care about it.
If you like him playing football, like his spirit, and become his fan, he is proud and happy.
But it does not mean that you will be controlled by a huge fan base.
He is still who he is and will not change for anyone.
Whether you like him or hate him, whether you are a fan or a fan...it doesn't matter to him.
He only cares about winning, only about football.
Sometimes fans are talking nonsense, and he totally disagrees. Does he have to make a statement or post about this to start a verbal war with his fans?
No, he will not directly speak out against it, but he will use practical actions to prove those nonsense wrong.
Just like the question about him and other Tyne players.
He has never considered other Tyne players to be burdens or burdens. On the contrary, he believes that if he really wants to achieve his goal of participating in the Champions League next season, his teammates are very important.
Everyone must give full play to their own level to be able to do it.
Why else would he always want to push Sonny Dean?
Always want to change the "silent majority" within the team?
He is one of the best players in the world, but he never thought he could win championships and wins by himself.
Even during the "Seven Crowns" period of Soft United, he did not feel that it was his own contribution, he just felt that he was the one who made the greatest contribution...
Actually In daily training this past week, Wang Lie could feel the changes in his teammates.
At that time, he didn’t think deeply about it, but he was just happy that everyone finally had more fighting spirit and energy.
This may be the biggest gain from that failure...
In the end, I didn’t expect that even someone like Vitini would consider him a burden to him...
A "burden" that could be noticed by Madrid FC?
But he also understood the reason for the change this week...
Wang Lie originally wanted to use Vitini to score a goal, and everyone came up to celebrate, giving Everyone gave them chicken soup to relax their minds.
But he suddenly changed his mind.
In order to achieve the goal of going to the Champions League, he must fully exploit the abilities of his teammates, and everyone must try their best to achieve this seemingly impossible thing.
So is Vitini a little stronger now than before?
Yes.
Where are his cute teammates?
I have also become more positive and more willing to fight.
So...
There seems to be nothing wrong with this?
So he clenched his fists and waved to his teammates who had come up to celebrate the goal:
"How is it enough to only score one goal? Keep up the good work! Let's continue!"
>Katic agreed: "A one-goal lead is not safe!"
Vitini shouted excitedly: "Keep scoring! Keep going!"
※※※
When the referee blew the kick-off whistle again, Wolverhampton's head coach Paul Cody stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines again to follow the game.
As he expected, Tyne, who had just taken the lead, launched a fierce attack on Wolverhampton's goal.
They are not satisfied with this, they want to score more goals.
This is human nature. Who would think that a one-goal lead is safe?
Even though Tyne's offensive was extremely fierce, Paul Cody stood on the sidelines with a calm face, exuding a calm and composed temperament, bringing a sense of calm to the Wolverhampton players on the court. confidence.
※※※
Sonny Dean retreated to the right to get the ball. He retreated deeper than Wang Liedu.
When receiving the ball, his back was facing the direction of the attack, so he passed the football directly sideways to Van Ginkel, who was connecting with him in the middle.
Then he turned around and made an air cut.
Van Ginkel sent a diagonal pass and passed the ball in front of him.
The moment Dean caught the ball, he thrust the football forward and accelerated at the same time!
He immediately shook off the Wolverhampton players who came up to tackle him.
Amidst the cheers at Leather Park, Dean dribbled the ball along the sideline at high speed.
Just when everyone thought he was going to hit the bottom in one breath, he dunked the ball toward the center from the 30-meter line.
Then cut inside and dribble the ball laterally.
At the same time, Wang Lie inserted diagonally from the center into the right side of the penalty area.
Dean's aggressive dribbling attracted the attention of most Wolverhampton players, and no one noticed Wang Lie's movement.
Then Dean passed the ball.
While dribbling the ball laterally, he looked at Vitini at the far end, but used the inside of his left foot to sweep the football toward the right rib of the penalty area, and passed it to Wang Lie who was crossing in diagonally!
"Wang——!" Wang Lie, who was running diagonally, adjusted his steps while running and passed the football directly.
When the football rolled from behind him to in front of him, he would directly kick up and volley!
Although Wolverhampton's center back fought hard to tackle, it was still half a step too late!
After the football was picked by Wang Lie, it ran towards the back corner of the goal against the turf!
Wolverhampton's goalkeeper was moving towards the near corner, but Wang Lie took a reverse corner. He could only rush back, half a beat late in his action, and one palm short of the distance. ...
He could only turn his head and watch the football bounce on the turf and into the back corner of the goal!
"Wang Lie!! He scored again!! Only four minutes passed since Vitini scored, Wang Lie expanded the lead with a goal! 2:0!!"
"King!! Scored goals in four consecutive games! After losing to Clayton Athletic in the last round of the league, some people once questioned whether he scored a hat-trick against Scorsese and a plum against Brighton White Mountain. The second drive used up the last drop of gas in his tank, so now he tells everyone with a goal: I still have gas in the tank!”
"Wang's ninth goal after joining Tyne! His tenth goal this season! An assist from Sonny Dean! After the goal, he pointed at Dean, and the two hugged each other... Whether it was this assist or this celebration, the previous rumors of internal strife between the two of them were shattered!"
Watching Wang Lie and Dean hugging each other, they were surrounded by more Tyne players! Seeing the scene surrounded by people, Luo Jin said with emotion: "Some people say that Wang Lie is a trouble wherever he goes, but in Tyne, Wang Lie is not a trouble or a problem - how can goals and victories be troubles and problems? ?”
Zhao Chuanfeng added: “Unless someone doesn’t want to score or win.”
Luo Jin couldn’t help laughing: “Ha!”
He knows that his partner is Soft United and Sven Heldon.
Because in a Premier League match earlier this afternoon, Southampton United were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Southampton Anker.
Neither goals nor wins.
Sven Helden and his team suffered three games without a win.
If there hadn’t been an FA Cup match in between, and Soft United won the ball, defeated East London United 3:1, and advanced to the quarter-finals, it would have been four rounds without a win in all competitions...
The victory in the FA Cup temporarily extended his life and made the shouting in the media a little quieter.
※※※
The Lize Park stadium was filled with cheers, and Tyne fans were going crazy for Wang Lie’s goal.
Wolverhampton manager Paul Coady stared blankly at the pitch.
No, buddy...
Why doesn’t Cochea’s method work?
I know Clayton Athletic is stronger than Wolverhampton, but we obviously did a good job in the first half. No matter what, we couldn't let our opponent score two goals in five minutes, right?
In the last round of the league, both Vitini and Dean performed very averagely.
But in today's game, one scored a goal and the other completed an assist...
Did you deliberately hide your strength in the last round of the league?
Are you playing me? !
Don't blame Cody for thinking that.
Because it is indeed incredible to say that the Tyne team has made huge progress and completed transformation in just one week.
He might as well believe that in the last round of the league, the entire Tyne team gave up and hid their strength, knowing full well that they could not win against Clayton Athletic, just to give him Wolf in this game. Hampton digs.
Didn’t he just jump down?
Paul Cody wanted to look up to the sky and sigh.
※※※
Looking after the game, Tyne scored two consecutive goals within five minutes, eliminating the suspense of the outcome of this game.
But during the game, no one dared to draw such a conclusion.
Because the game only lasted fifty-seven minutes, there was still more than half an hour left for Wolverhampton.
If they can cheer up and come up with the right response plan, it is entirely possible to get back - although it is difficult, it does not mean it is impossible.
The situation when Tyne was given a two-goal lead by the Scorsese after thirty minutes at home was even more difficult than what Wolverhampton are facing now.
But in the end, didn’t Tyne defeat the Scossians 3:2?
It’s just that Wolverhampton did not show this fighting spirit and ability in the next game.
On the one hand, conceding two goals in a short period of time dealt a huge blow to their morale. On the other hand, it seemed that the targeted tactics they prepared a week before the game failed, which seriously shook the team. The confidence of the Wolfhampton players.
And since they were two goals behind, they were forced to attack, and their defense was bound to have more openings...
In the 75th minute, Tyne made another victory, extending the score to a three-goal lead.
It was not Wang Lie who scored the goal this time, but Vitini.
The Brazilian boy scored twice!
"Vitini!! Beautiful! This is his second goal of the game! This is also the first time he has scored twice this season!"
Goal Later, Vitini did not run to hug Wang Lie this time, but ran excitedly in front of the camera in the corner flag area and danced a samba.
Then he turned around and celebrated with other teammates who came up.
“3:0! Tyne almost won this game! There is no suspense about the outcome!”
Leese Park Stadium was filled with cheers.
The commentators shouted repeatedly.
After losing to Clayton Athletic, many people expressed concerns about Tyne's prospects.
It’s not like you’re badmouthing just because you lost a game.
Mainly the way of losing.
Tyne had almost no power to fight back in that defeat, and only relied on Wang Lie's personal ability to save some face.
Tyne without Wang Lie is a relegation team.
Clayton Athletic once again showed everyone how to deal with Tyne and Wang Lie.
If other teams follow suit, Tyne will have a difficult time in the future.
Isn’t that what happened in the first half against Wolverhampton?
It seems like we are really going to follow in the footsteps of the loss to Clayton Athletic in the last round of the league...
Then Vitini and Wang Lie scored goals one after another, putting those people's doubts to rest and worry kicked to pieces.
At least it proves that Clayton Athletic’s method is not applicable to all teams.
It may take a team that is significantly stronger than Tyne.
As for those teams whose strength is similar to or even worse than Tyne, it is best not to follow suit easily.
Otherwise, painting a tiger will not turn out to be an anti-dog, just like Wolverhampton today, losing 0:3.
In the end, until the end of the game, Wolverhampton were unable to fight back, equalize the score, or even get a goal back.
The final score was 3:0, Tyne defeated Wolverhampton at home.
After just losing a game, they immediately used victory to clear away the clouds and haze covering the hearts of every Tyne fan.
Vitini scored twice in the game and was elected the best of the match after the game.
It also proved to the outside world that there is not only one Wang Lie in Taien.
※※※
Holding the champagne representing the best trophy, Vitini jumped back to the locker room.
While he kept raising the champagne bottle in his hand, he shouted:
"Twelve! Twelve! Twelve!"
Someone in the locker room also shouted with him:
"Twelve! Twelve! Twelve!"
This is not a secret code between them, but has another meaning - this is the difference between them and the Champions League qualification.
Because Soft United was tied by Southampton Anker in this round of the league and currently has 48 points. Their lead over Tyne was shortened from fourteen points before this league round to twelve points.
Tyne's 3:0 victory over Wolverhampton was the last game of the twenty-seventh round of the Premier League.
Now we can take a look at the final ranking in the standings:
Tyne ranks ninth with 36 points.
Xiusluo ranked eighth with 39 points.
Kensington finished seventh with forty points.
Brighton White Mountain has 40 points and ranks sixth relying on goal difference.
Waltham ranked fifth with 44 points.
Soft United ranked fourth with 48 points.
The Scossians ranked third with 54 points.
If Wang Lie's goal is to go to the European competition, then there is a four-point gap - the UEFA Europa League is also a European competition.
But if you want to go to the Champions League, you have to surpass the teams ahead of them one by one.
This is not an easy road to take.
But it’s worth the walk.
Once you pass through, the scenery will be beyond imagination.
Just thinking about it makes people fascinated.
