Dominate the midfield

Chapter 248 Chapter 248: The first round of the quarterfinals!
The more appearances in European competitions, the more attention the players will receive, and the wider the road ahead will be.

It is not an exaggeration to describe a player as "fame and fortune". The higher the attention, the greater the fame, and the more "profit" he will get.

Wang Rui is such an example. His ability to receive an annual sponsorship fee of 200 million from Pepsi has a lot to do with his fame.

As for the "old people" in the team, there was some excitement and some nervousness, but not as strong as the "new people".

After all, when they were still a League One team last season, they won the League Cup. They have already had such a psychological experience throughout the campaign.

"The four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!" Sharpened their knives, they eagerly want to stage their own legendary stories on this stage!

Let your name appear between the lines in the media, and let your name remain in the history of the last UEFA Cup.

In the last training session before the game, all four of them showed a very good competitive state, which made Ince's confidence even stronger.Speaking of the current Wolves team, "the four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!" have already assumed the burden of the team's offense and defense.

Especially the offense, so far their goals are as high as 75% of the entire team!

What a terrifying number this is, that is to say, once they do not perform well, it will be difficult for the Wolves to break through the opponent's goal!
that's the truth!
Another outstanding player is forward Kevin Foley!
Last season, the Wolves won the League Cup and the League One trophy, which is inseparable from the excellent performance of the "Trident".

With the arrival of Bell and the rise of Kenting, "the four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!" has replaced "trident" as the most chanted word in the mouth of Wolves fans.

Another main reason for all this is that Kevin Foley has rarely performed well this season, and he has only a handful of starts.There are rumors in the team that Kevin Foley will definitely leave the Wolves next season.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when the Wolves fans were preparing at home, the Wolves players had gathered in the locker room of the training base.Ince announced the starting list. In the last training session yesterday afternoon, Kevin Foley, who performed well, appeared on the starting list!
The "old people" of the Wolves congratulated Kevin Foley, and Kevin Foley looked excited!

He is back in the starting position again, which makes him feel like returning to last season!
When walking out of the locker room, Kevin Foley whispered sincerely in Ince's ear: "Coach! Thank you!"

Ince patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to thank me, you deserve it. Your state conquered me yesterday afternoon."

Showing his white teeth, Ince smiled and said, "Maybe the game is over, and I will be the one to say thank you!"

Kevin Foley nodded and said: "Coach, don't worry, I know what to do, and I will do my best to do my own thing well!"

……

At [-]:[-] p.m., most of the home fans have already entered the stadium, their faces are full of pride and excitement.The Wolves are a domestic second-tier league team, but they have reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup!
This is the first time in the history of the UEFA Cup that this has happened!
In a way, they are already number one!
They will use their huge shouts to deter the Marseille players tonight, let their team win in this stadium, and continue to perform legends in the UEFA Cup!
……

While the home fans waited for the game to start, the starting players of both sides appeared in the player tunnel.

There was no story in the player tunnel. The players of the Marseille team didn't take the Wolves players seriously at all. Even the most famous Wang Rui, they didn't look up to them.

What kind of powerful characters does a domestic second-tier league team have?

The competition in the British media is fierce. The king is promoted by the British media. Look at his face. He should be an idol actor...

The Wolves players are so used to this look from their opponents that they haven't even thought about it - wait and see, the game is over and I'll knock your pride down!
It is normal for a domestic second-tier league team to be looked down upon by others, and they have moved forward all the way to the present under this kind of gaze.

When the players from both sides walked into the field, the overwhelming cheers rushed to their faces, which made the Wolves players look refreshed!
The faces of the Marseille players sank. They had heard that this stadium was the "Devil's Home Stadium". However, when they actually faced this stadium, they felt like they were playing at the home of a wealthy team.It's a bad feeling, and it's too stressful.

"No, this is just the home court of a second-tier league team!"

The Dutchman Zenden shook his head and said to himself.

The entire stadium was full of seats, and in the stands, flags fluttered and roars shook the sky.For Marseille players, Wolves fans wearing orange jerseys have turned this stadium into a terrible purgatory!

For the Wolves players, those roars are their source of strength!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, with the whistle of the referee, the game officially started!

The Wolves, who took the lead to serve, launched a fierce attack on Marseille amidst the loud shouts of the home fans!

In the first minute, Bell and Wang Rui cooperated on the left. Wang Rui's pass pierced Marseille's defense. Bell used his own speed to get the football five meters before the baseline.

"Crack!..." With a sound, Bell passed the football to the middle!
The ball was a half-air ball. Kevin Foley regained the starting position and overwhelmed Marseille central defender Hilton. He raised his left foot and shot!
The football goes to the right of the goal!

The atmosphere in the whole stadium became lively. If this goal is scored, the Wolves will have a fantastic start!

Marseille goalkeeper Rudy Leo obviously didn't want to satisfy the Wolves fans. He rushed towards the football like a hungry tiger!

The next moment, his hands hugged the football tightly!

There was a huge sound of regret at the Molinex Stadium, followed by thunderous applause. The Wolves played this ball with momentum, and they deserve praise!

The Marseille players looked dignified. If the opponent did not use a push shot, but volleyed vigorously, it would be hard to say whether the ball would go into the goal...

Because the Wolves' offensive strength was too strong, Marseille's three lines were compressed severely, and the Wolves' offensive space suddenly became smaller. They could only use long-range shots and headers to threaten the opponent's goal.

After all, the Marseille team is a strong team in Ligue [-]. After withstood the wolves' bombardment for more than ten minutes, they gradually recovered and launched an attack on the Wolves.

For a time, the two sides had offense and defense with each other, presenting a state of balance.

……

London, Pepsi European Branch, Vice President Jack is sitting in his office, watching the TV screen nervously.The result of this game, as well as Wang Rui's performance, will determine his confidence in meeting the company CEO tonight.

In the 207th minute of the first half, the Wolves got a chance to counterattack. After receiving the pass from Kenting, Wang Rui got rid of the entanglement of Marseille midfielder Ziani, and dribbled the ball into the Marseille half.

Jack looked at the TV screen, waved his fists, and shouted excitedly: "King! Continue to lead! Get in! Another long-distance raid!"

However, Wang Rui did not continue to dribble, and suddenly passed the football to Peter on the right.Wang Rui's pass was in place, but Peter had a small problem with the ball and stopped it!

How could the opponent's full-back let go of this opportunity, lowered his center of gravity, and shoveled the football out of the sideline with one kick!

The frontcourt players in Marseille took advantage of this time and immediately returned to their own half. The Wolves lost the opportunity to counterattack quickly.Jack looked at Wang Rui who was about to catch the ball on the TV screen, and sighed, "Wang! Why are you passing the ball, why are you bringing it yourself..."

Wang Rui is a midfield organizer, not a striker, so in the following time, he continued to deliver shells to his teammates again and again, instead of thinking about how to dribble and break through, and then shoot successfully.

In the No.305 minute of the first half, Marseille got a good chance to score!

Marseille launched a sharp attack on the left side of the Wolves, which attracted the attention of the Wolves' defense. Ziani suddenly transferred the football to the center, and the Dutchman Zenden, who responded from the center, passed the ball into the right side of the Wolves penalty area. !
There is his teammate Niang, and there is no Wolves defensive player beside Niang at this time!
When Niang took the ball, the whole stadium fell into an inexplicable panic.

"Crack!..." Niang shot hard after taking the ball!
Looking at the direction in which the football flew, Niang's eyes showed pain. The only thing he could do was hope that Oakes would let go.

Oakes watched himself flying towards his own football, and before he could feel ecstasy in his heart, he began to prepare to hold the ball.

The two Wolves forwards Peter and Kevin Foley near the midfield moved their footsteps slightly, and Wang Rui in the middle of the half-court also moved his footsteps...

Oaks stretched out his arms to meet the ball, and the moment he touched the ball, his hands followed the direction of the ball, and he retracted abruptly, while his chest slightly pressed down!

Oakes held the football firmly in his arms!
"coax!……"

There was a huge sound in the stands, which was the exclamation of the home fans.When the home fans were applauding, Oakes' eyes were already looking for his teammates!
Oaks quickly threw the football to Wang Rui who had already moved. Wang Rui turned sideways and used his chest to unload the football!

In the shout of the Dutchman Zenden "Stop him!", Wang Rui made a long pass and kicked the football across the halftime!
Fight back quickly!
The two forwards of the Wolves were like two arrows, running wildly in the Marseille half. Peter, who was a little closer to the football, looked sideways at the football falling from his upper left, and suddenly jumped high!
Kevin Foley suddenly slowed down his speed. He wanted to ensure that he was not in an offside position when Peter passed the ball.

Peter's head flicked to the right!
The football flew towards the front of Kevin Foley!

Kevin Foley flew out like a sharp arrow. The next moment he raised his chest and unloaded the football, and then took the football to the Marseille penalty area!
In the face of Rudy Leo's attack, Kevin Foley calmly kicked a low shot!
The football flies to the right of the goal!
