Dominate the midfield

Chapter 231 Chapter 231: There is never giving up in the wolf's dictionary!

It took 12 seconds for the twin stars of the Wolves to break through the goal of Shakhtar Donetsk, which cheered up the home fans. They saw the hope of creating a miracle.

After the resumption of the game, the Wolves' frontcourt swooped towards the opponent's half amidst the huge shouts of the home fans. They were like a group of ferocious hungry wolves, trying to tear apart the prey in front of them.

Shakhtar Donetsk learned the lesson of the previous conceded goal and quickly moved the football to the frontcourt.With aggressive momentum and active pressing, the Wolves quickly grabbed the football to their feet, and then launched a tidal attack on Shakhtar Donetsk's restricted area!

Seen from a distance, the orange waves were higher and higher. Shakhtar Donetsk players used their bodies to build walls in front of the goal, tenaciously withstood the impact of the Wolves.

In the 3rd minute of the first half, Bell took a long shot in front of the penalty area and the football went over the crossbar!

In the 5th minute, Wang Rui found a chance to shoot from a long distance. With a strong shot, the football slid out of the goal!

In the 9th minute, Bell assisted and passed the football into the penalty area. Kenting jumped high and overwhelmed Kuchel with a fierce and beautiful lion shake!

The football was going to the dead end, and just as the home fans were about to cheer for this beautiful header, a magical scene happened-Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Puyatov, with an extremely stretched left hand, struggled to push under the football, the football Fly off the bottom line!

Kenting shook his head regretfully, the opponent's goalkeeper performed too well.Huge applause erupted from the Molinex Stadium, and the applause was given to both the offensive and defensive sides. This was a beautiful offensive and defensive battle, and both sides performed at a very high level!

With the passage of time, in the face of the fierce attack of the Wolves, Shakhtar Donetsk strengthened its style of play-holding and counterattacking!
The Wolves' offense seems ferocious, but under the opponent's tight defense, there are not many truly threatening offenses.

Sky TV commentator Kent said: "To break the dense defense, the Wolves need to strengthen long-range shots and set balls!"

Wang Rui was still trying to shoot from a long distance. In the 17th minute, he and Kenting made a cross pass in the opponent's hinterland, making a two-for-one pass and finding a chance for a long-range shot.Before the opponent's central defender blocked, Wang Rui shot furiously, and the football flew towards the right side of the goal like a cannonball!
Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Puyatov is going to be against the sky tonight. He flew out and firmly blocked the football with his right hand!
The football landed in the penalty area. Shakhtar Donetsk central defender Siglienski took two quick steps forward and kicked the football to the sideline, which completely disintegrated Wang Rui's threatening long shot.

The miraculous save by the opponent's goalkeeper didn't make Wang Rui even a bit frustrated. After taking two deep breaths, he threw himself into the game again.

Wolves fans thought that Peter's lightning-like goal indicated that the Wolves would be able to break through Shakhtar Donetsk's goal one after another, thus achieving a super comeback, but the process of the game did not develop as they imagined.

Shakhtar Donetsk used their tenacity and brilliance to disrupt the ferocious and dangerous attacks of the Wolves time and time again.Like a stalemate, the Wolves were unable to tear through Shakhtar Donetsk's defense again, and Shakhtar Donetsk had no ability to change the passive situation.

With the whistle of the referee sounding the end of the first half, the first half of the game is over, and the players of both sides return to the locker room.The media used this time to summarize the first half of the game and look forward to the second half of the game.

Andy Keogh, football commentator for Wolverhampton TV, said: "It's one-three on aggregate and Wolves are two goals behind. Wolves had the upper hand in the first half, but apart from Peter's goal In addition, Wolves' attack was blocked by the tenacious Shakhtar Donetsk."

"We hope that the Wolves will maintain high fighting spirit and suppress the opponent as always in the second half, but they must pay attention to their defense when they attack the opponent wildly. If they are attacked by the opponent, the Wolves will be in big trouble. "

"Wang should take on more offensive tasks in the second half. At this time, he should come forward!"

Sky TV commentator Kent said: "Looking at the first half of the game, the Wolves are not a team that is good at playing intensive defense. They have never had a good way to tear apart Shakhtar Donetsk's defense."

"Peter's goal was the result of the crazy wolf tactics. The twin stars of the Wolves team succeeded in pressing. Wang finally sent the football to Peter's feet. Peter achieved it overnight."

"Shakhtar Donetsk's defense in the first half was very good, especially the goalkeeper Puyatov, he saved at least two must-go goals for the Wolves, one was Kendin's header and the other was Wang's long shot."

"It must be said that the Wolves have a sharp weapon to break the dense defense, then it is Wang's long-range shot and free kick. In the first half, Wang's long-range shot failed to knock the opponent's goal, and the free kick did not show its power. I hope Wang can do it in the second half. Surprise us!"

The journalists on the sidelines were also talking about it. The British reporters focused on the Wolves, while the Ukrainian reporters focused on Shakhtar Donetsk.

"In the second half of the game, if the Wolves can't score as soon as possible, the game will become more and more difficult..."

"At this moment, the Wolves must have someone stand up. I think Wang should increase his personal attack power..."

"Yeah, I remember that Wang's offensive power is very strong. He often scores goals in important games. He hasn't scored a goal today..."

"Three goals in the second half, difficult! Difficult! Difficult!..."

The Ukrainian reporter is satisfied with the current score and is full of confidence in the future:

"As long as we can pass the first 15 minutes of the second half smoothly, it is only a matter of time before we advance..."

"Yes, the first 15 minutes of the second half are the most critical. As long as we can hold on, the mentality of the Wolves will inevitably change and become impatient. At that time, we only need to seize a counterattack opportunity, and the victory will be ours!"

……

The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was calm. Except for the goal conceded in the opening game, the Shakhtar Donetsk team performed very well, otherwise the score would not have been [-]-[-].

Coach Lucescu began to arrange tactics for the second half: "The first half of the game told us that the Wolves returning home is a team that should not be underestimated. Defend and counterattack!"

"Everyone did a good job defending. I just want to emphasize one point, the defense against the king must be high-intensity!"

Defensive midfielder William nodded slightly. Without the help of his teammates in the first half, how could he contain Wang Rui by himself.

"I will focus on counterattack..."

Lucescu paused and said: "The Wolves' defense is very forward. We must make full use of the depth behind the Wolves' defenders when counterattacking. We only played once in the first half, and we must stick to this style of play in the second half... ..."

……

The atmosphere in the locker room of the home team was a bit depressing. In the first half, the opponent's half was tightly suppressed, but they did not score more goals. How can they break through the opponent's dense defense?

After the players replenished their water, Ince began to arrange the tactics for the second half: "The offensive rhythm in the second half should be slowed down appropriately, and even when there is time, we should actively pass back to attract the opponent's players to save."

Wang Rui nodded slightly, as long as it helps the offense, he can try it.

"Every time we attack, one of Kenting and Bell must stay behind, because the depth behind our defender is too deep, and the opponent will definitely take advantage of it."

The coaches of the two sides battled wits and courage during the halftime break, and the players were gathering energy and preparing to fight to the death.

"We are still three goals away from the comeback. Some people think that we can't accomplish this feat and achieve a super comeback. But we are Wolves. I once said that we must have the spirit of wolves. There is never a wolf in the wolf's dictionary. There is no word for giving up, they are synonymous with bravery, unity and never giving up!"

After arranging the tactics, Ince began to boost morale: "No matter what difficulties we face, we will fight until the last moment!"

Peter nodded and said loudly, "That's right, we're going to fight until the last moment!"

Oakes walked into the middle of the locker room and yelled, "Come on guys!"

The other players stood up, stretched out their hands around Oakes, and shouted in unison: "Fight until the last moment!"

Ince roared vigorously, "Let's go!"
