Chapter 54: Wolves with high morale

Arsenal showed off their muscles by massacring Bournemouth 7-0, but they did not make the headlines.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, nicknamed Wolves, have become the protagonists of this week's maternal appearance doubts.

In the 8th round of the Premier League in the 2019/2020 season, the Wolves defeated Manchester City 2:0 away from home when everyone was not optimistic about it.

Blue Moon is undoubtedly a team with a high reputation in the Premier League. It can be said that apart from Arsenal, a team that is currently transcendent, Manchester City is definitely the top team in the Premier League.

But Manchester City lost to Wolves 0:2 at home.

Throughout the entire game, Manchester City still maintained their consistent style, controlling the ball and rhythm.

But the problem is that in the offense, although they have the ball, they rarely have a chance to shoot.

The Wolves' defense is very good in this regard, and even has a vaguely layered defensive concept like Arsenal.

For 80 minutes, Manchester City tried their best to score, but in the end they failed.

On the contrary, Wolves scored two goals in a row in the last ten minutes, directly causing Manchester City to reap the consequences at home.

After failing to score in one attack after another, Manchester City players became anxious, and this also gave Wolves' already excellent counterattack ability a chance.

It can be said that in this game, the Wolves showed their superb positional warfare style.

Wolves coach Nuno also announced to the world the emergence of the prototype of his tactics through this game. He is a young tactician.

From being promoted to being a disruptor in the Premier League, Wolves told everyone that it only takes two seasons to achieve these goals.

The Wolves performed equally well last season, and this season, the Wolves are clearly developing towards greater goals.

In the post-match interview, head coach Nuno also expressed with confidence that the current Wolves team is in very good condition. Except for a few top European teams, they are confident of defeating each other.

This statement made Guardiola and Manchester City slightly disgusted.

Guardiola didn't refute. After all, they lost. If he talked too much at this time, he would feel like he couldn't afford to lose.

For the current Guardiola and Manchester City, they need to actively adjust their state and then face more powerful opponents.

It was certainly an unexpected thing for the Wolves to defeat them, but compared to these, their game against Arsenal is the most important thing.

At the same time, the Wolves also gained confidence after defeating Manchester City.

They believe that they have the ability to shake all teams at this time.

For this reason, they are very much looking forward to the next game

That is the 9th round of the Premier League against Assen at home.

In this game, they believe that as long as they can perform stably and show what they want to play, they have a chance to defeat Arsenal.

Yes!

At this time, the Wolves have begun to ask for more. After all, people are greedy, and they want to prove themselves by defeating Arsenal.

Cutting off Arsenal's unbeaten streak and becoming the focus of Europe is a heat that no team can refuse at the moment.

Arsenal at this time is a mobile super treasure house.

Once they are defeated, the attention and various bonuses gained are indispensable.

Although the competition will be very difficult, it also has extremely generous rewards.

The week passed quietly.

During this period, based on Wolves' victory over Manchester City, many media focused on this club in central England.

Whether they can continue their previous outstanding performance and create an even greater miracle, defeating Arsenal at home.

For this reason, this game attracted a lot of attention from fans and media.

On that day, almost a large number of European media settled in the Morinho Stadium.

This is a stadium that can accommodate more than 30,000 people. Although it cannot be compared with those stadiums of wealthy clubs, the home atmosphere is not inferior at all.

Especially after defeating Manchester City in the last round, the enthusiasm of Wolves fans was also mobilized.

They believe that with the current tactical system and the status of the players, they have no chance!

Although Arsenal is strong, they will eventually make mistakes. They only need to seize these mistakes and score goals to win.

For this reason, the entire Wolves team is extremely united at this moment.

They want to beat Arsenal and continue their winning streak.

At the same time, they also want to let the world see through this game that the Wolves also have the ability to overturn top teams.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Wolves (3-5-2):

Goalkeeper: Patricio.

Defenders: Seth, Coady, Boly.

Midfielder: Vinagre, Moutinho, Neves, Dendoncker, Traore.

Forwards: Cutrone, Raul Jimenez.

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Buffon.

Defenders; Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielder: Eriksen, Lucky, Xhaka.

Forwards: Saka, Giroud, Mane.

Arsenal's lineup gives people a sense of oppression.

Some time ago, Guardiola once said that there are currently four disputed teams in the Premier League, of which Arsenal's main force and substitutes occupy two places.

It can be seen what a strong performance Arsenal's main players and bench have.

This is also the reason why Arsenal's record has not been shaken after the main player was injured.

When the Wolves saw Arsenal, they couldn't help but feel a bit oppressive.

After all, this team has spanned two seasons and is heading towards the myth of 60 undefeated games.

The pressure placed on them by such a team is huge.

Of course, the greater the pressure, the greater their motivation.

"This is the 9th round of the 2019/2020 Premier League season, Wolves vs Arsenal at home!"

"In the last round of games, Wolves defeated Manchester City in an upset away game. The Wolves' defensive performance in that game was amazing, and Manchester City also lost the game after repeated attacks without results!"

"In that game, Wolves forward Traore scored two goals and became the biggest contributor to the victory."

"And now, can they continue their good form against Arsenal?"

"As for Arsenal, the back line has completed the main reinforcements. Robertson has returned from injury. Robertson's return has given Arsenal a more ideal space for the back row to move forward. Even without Kai's organization, Robertson can use his excellent The ability to pass and pass forward solves these problems.”

"Of course, we still have to observe the degree of Robertson's recovery, but it should be good. Mourinho is not a careless person!"

As the commentator explained the situation on the field, the captains of both sides also completed the exchange of team flags and guessed sides.

The Wolves took the first kick off.

Soon, with the whistle blowing, the game started.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal pressed fiercely.

Arsenal's high-position press is on par with Manchester City's, and is even slightly sharper, but after the Wolves have experience against Manchester City, they will not be so embarrassed.

Portuguese midfielder Moutinho became the key to the transfer. In the process of constantly handling the ball, he ensured that the Wolves' ball possession was in a safe state.

From this aspect alone, this is a very good midfielder.

While handling the safety ball, Moutinho is also observing the forward passing direction.

But in repeated observations, he found no good opportunities.

Arsenal squeezed the passing channels very cleanly. Even if some gaps were occasionally revealed, they would be covered up instantly by Arsenal. It even made Moutinho wonder whether this was a bait released by Arsenal to reach the goal. Seduce them.

Neither team is the kind of team that guarantees possession of the ball. Their offense comes more from counterattacks.

Especially Wolves, who used Traore's speed to create a gap on the right wing.

In this regard, Liverpool's game against Arsenal gave them some inspiration.

But in several consecutive attempts, they all ended in failure.

Their passing cooperation was either intercepted by Arsenal or grabbed the first point by Lucky.

Even if the ball is lobbed behind Lucky, Robertson can quickly make up the position and disrupt the offense.

Obviously, the Wolves had some initial concepts, but failed to grasp the key points and form a routine.
