Dominate the midfield

Chapter 187 Chapter 187: The best player in League One!
On March 442th, the list of "[-] best players in English leagues at all levels" named and sponsored by [-] magazine was announced. This is an award awarded to players in other leagues outside the Premier League.

In other words, this is the highest personal honor for a player in other leagues in England except the Premier League.

The players at the top will be the targets of the Premier League teams, so this is a list that other players and clubs attach great importance to except the Premier League players.

In the list, the English Championship players occupy 37 seats, the League One occupies nine seats, and the League Two occupies four seats.

A total of three Wolves were selected, occupying one-third of the seats in League One. Not only that, but all three of them are in the top ten!
They are the three youngest players in the team - Wang Rui, Peter and Kenting!

This is unexpected, but also within reason.After all, the Wolves are too eye-catching in the League One and League Cup this season, and the three of them are important contributors to the team, and they have performed well in many key games.

League One is the third tier in England, above them is the English Championship, but to the shock of many people, Wang Rui ranks first!
League One players rank first, this is the first time this award has appeared since its inception in 2000!
What is even more surprising is that Peter came in third!
In other words, the Wolves Gemini occupies two of the top three seats!
As soon as this list was announced, many media discussed it. The Daily Mail said: It deserves its name. The Wolves eliminated Liverpool and Chelsea one after another, and defeated Tottenham in the final. Wang played a decisive role.Not only that, the Wolves topped the League One standings and won the League One championship nine rounds ahead of schedule, while Wang topped the League One scorer list with 39 goals. This is the honor he deserves.

As for Peter ranked No.3, the twin stars of the Wolves team formed by him and Wang are an important guarantee for the Wolves to achieve such dazzling results.

The Times commented: The Wolves rewrote the history of English football and won the League Cup. The twin stars of the Wolves contributed a lot, and Wang played a decisive role in it. Therefore, it is reasonable for them to be ranked ahead of many players in the English Championship. !
The Guardian criticized 442 magazine, thinking that this is ignoring the British Championship: The twin stars of the Wolves team are indeed dazzling, but both of them are ranked in the top three, which is obviously unfair, after all, the British Championship is the second level of England league.This list is an insult to the Championship players!
……

Kenting ranked tenth, which has something to do with his position.After all, a defensive player is naturally at a disadvantage compared to an offensive player, not to mention that the twin stars of the Wolves are too dazzling, covering the light of other Wolves players.

The highest-ranked defender is Southampton Welsh player Bale, who ranks No.6.This Welsh young man, who is one year older than Wang Rui, has attracted the attention of many Premier League teams. It is said that Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in introducing this super fast left-back.

Watford, who is expected to compete for the British Championship, supported the Guardian. Their boss said in an interview: "This list is tricky. A team not only occupies three of the top ten seats, but also occupies the top three seats. Two seats, is there no problem here?"

In a telephone interview with the media, Morgan said tit-for-tat: "If Watford can win the cup and win the British Championship nine rounds ahead of schedule, the players in their team can also occupy two of the top three seats, or even Take the first three seats!"

"This mentality is unacceptable, it is a jealous mentality, jealous of us winning the League Cup!"

The two bosses shouted across the air, which made people slightly surprised.Just when people thought they would continue the war of words, both of them closed their mouths tacitly.

When Wang Rui, Peter and Kenting were going to London, Ince was sitting in Morgan's office.

"Next season we will play in the UEFA Cup and strive to enter the Premier League, so we need to strengthen our strength." Morgan said straight to the point: "Look at those positions that need to be supplemented."

Ince recalled what he said to the players after winning the League Cup, and felt a little tangled in his heart. However, as a coach, he must not be impulsive, and must rationally consider the current situation of the team and the goals of the owner.

It can be seen from Morgan's words that he attaches great importance to the UEFA Cup. Of course, no one is willing to give up the opportunity to make a name for himself in the European war.

In 1972, the Wolves passed the UEFA Cup champion, which was a pain for everyone in the Wolves team. Although Morgan did not explicitly say that he would compete for the UEFA Cup championship, he did not want to be eliminated too early. After all, the Wolves represent England. Team.

"The two full-backs need to be supplemented." Ince thought for a while and said, "They defend well, but their assisting ability is mediocre. Full-back assists have become a regular tactic, and we are weak in this regard."

"The three of them are good, but with only the three of them, it will definitely not work in the higher level European competition."

Morgan smiled and asked, "Is there a suitable candidate?"

Ince's answer was consistent with his thoughts, and the two full-backs did have to be replaced.After a moment of thought, Ince said, "There is a candidate, but it may be a bit expensive, and he is valued by Liverpool and Manchester United..."

Morgan knew who Ince was talking about.

"Bell of Southamp?"

Ince nodded and said, "Although he is young, he is fast and has a very strong assist ability. I am optimistic about his future."

To compete with Liverpool and Manchester United, no matter how you look at it, Wolves have no chance of winning.Ince also knew that he had relieved the boss of a problem, and said with a smile, "I'm just talking, you don't need to keep it in your heart."

Morgan lit a cigar, puffed out a puff of smoke, leaned back comfortably on the sofa, and said lightly: "You are wrong, we have a great advantage compared with Liverpool and Manchester United."

Ince frowned slightly, waiting for Morgan to give a reason.

"First of all, your employment policy is very attractive to young players. Liverpool and Manchester United are indeed much better than us in every aspect, but he can only play as a substitute when he goes. But when he comes to us, he can definitely play the main force. !"

"Secondly, Wolves is a team full of vigor, a team for young people, and a team that is on the rise. We won the League Cup and won the League One championship nine rounds ahead of schedule. We can still play in the UEFA Cup this season..."

"The UEFA Cup, even if it is the Premier League team, only a few teams are eligible!

"These results can attract many players!"

Morgan patted Ince on the shoulder and said, "Actually, before you said Bell's name to me, I had already made corresponding preparations. Just wait and hear the good news!"

Ince looked at the unpredictable boss suspiciously.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Rui, Peter, and Kenting got out of the car and found a three-star hotel to stay.The awards ceremony was at [-]:[-] p.m., and the top ten players were to be awarded on the spot, and all three of them had to stand on the stage to receive the awards.

The three of them opened a three-person room, and after the awards were presented, they would go back overnight.Peter occupied the innermost bed and lay comfortably on the bed. As soon as Kenting came in, he lay down on the bed near the door, saying that he hadn't slept enough.

Wang Rui had no choice but to sit on the bed in the middle, quietly thinking about how to complete the task Morgan gave him.Peter turned around, looked at Wang Rui who was in deep thought, and said, "It is said that the best player in League One will be awarded tonight!"

Wang Rui let out a "hmm" and didn't respond. Peter was very annoyed, and his voice became louder, saying, "Damn it, shouldn't you be happier?"

For the fact that his friend won the best player in League One, Peter was both jealous and envious, and of course he was more happy. In his words: "Wang is my brother, he won it and I won it. Big difference."

Wang Rui turned to look at Peter and asked, "What did you just say?"

Others didn't listen to what I said about feelings. Peter gave Wang Rui a hard look, turned around, and ignored him.After Wang Rui gave Peter a strange look, he fell into deep thought again.

……

At [-]:[-] in the evening, three young men from the Wolves wearing suits walked into the awards ceremony.The scene was very noisy, and acquaintances gathered together and whispered. When the three Wolves entered the scene, envious eyes appeared in their eyes.

It is the first time in history that a team has three players in the top ten, and two of these three players are in the top three.

As soon as Wang Rui entered the scene, he looked around, as if looking for someone.Peter nodded with a smile on his face and those kind eyes. Kenting was a little nervous and followed closely behind the two teammates.

The three quickly found their seats, and a reporter-like person immediately came to them.

"I'm Danpis, a reporter from 442 Magazine."

Peter took the initiative to shake hands with Danpis very gracefully: "Hi! I'm Peter."

"This is the king, and this is Kenting."

Danpis and Peter nodded, then looked at Wang Rui, and said with a smile, "Wang, can I ask you a few questions?"

Wang Rui nodded and said, "Of course, you can ask."

This award was named and sponsored by this magazine. Wang Rui knew that he had no reason to refuse, and he knew that he had to adapt to the reporter's interview.

"The first question, the best player in League One will be awarded tonight. You are ranked No. 1, and you will receive this award as a matter of course. Do you have anything to say?"

Wang Rui thought for a while and said, "The reason why I can get this title is inseparable from the performance of the team."

He looked at Peter and Kenting beside him and said: "Without such outstanding teammates, I would not have won this award anyway. Therefore, this award not only belongs to me personally, but also belongs to the entire Wolves team." .”

The trace of imbalance and jealousy in Peter's heart disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.Kenting looked at Wang Rui with admiring eyes. The midfield master is different. Look how good and heart-warming these words are... If I have a chance in the future, I will say the same.

Danpis was slightly shocked, and nodded in his heart.

"Second question, do you have confidence in staying undefeated?"

Wang Rui nodded and said, "This is the goal that Ince set for us. As players, we have the obligation and determination to accomplish whatever goal the head coach sets for us."

"I know it's difficult, but what some media say makes sense. The remaining nine games are definitely going to be tough, they're either fighting for promotion or relegation. We went through relegation last season, you know people What kind of energy explodes in times of despair."

He changed the subject and said: "However, we are the Wolves, and our tactics are crazy wolves tactics. We can only go forward. Ince once told us that the essence of football is to pursue victory, so we must pursue victory."

Danpis heard Wang Rui mention Ince's name several times in a row, so he asked, "What do you think of Ince?"

Wang Rui thought for a while and said, "In the training ground and in the locker room, he is the absolute authority. In life, he is an approachable brother. In the game, he is a fighter."

This made Pierce a little puzzled, "Is he a fighter in the game?"

Wang Rui said with a serious face: "Yes, he is a fighter just like us. Have you ever seen him sit on the bench and direct the game?"

"Every game, he stands in the command area, whether it is windy or rainy, he always stands like that."

Peter nodded very willingly, which really moved them.The League Cup final and the match against Chelsea were played in heavy rain, but Ince has been standing in the rain to direct the game.
