Dominate the midfield

Chapter 436 Chapter 436: Enter the England team roster!
Three days after returning to Wolverhampton, Wang Rui started recovery training, but after consulting with the team doctor, Ince still excluded him from Burnley's squad.

On December 18th, Premier League No.[-] London started, and Manchester United challenged Fulham away.

The outside world believes that Manchester United, which has just experienced a humiliating defeat, will find it difficult to get out of the away game.Massacred by the Wolves, the bar incident, Manchester United became the protagonist of negative news.

However, what is surprising is that the stars of Manchester United played like the overlord of the Premier League at the Craven Villa Stadium. Rooney proved his worth with his own actions. He scored twice in the first half. Portuguese midfielder Nani The victory was sealed in the 10th minute of the second half.

In the ensuing game, Manchester United fired all their firepower and vented their depression to Wolves on Fulham. In the second half, Nani made a cross in the No. 19 minute, and Park Ji-sung grabbed the point in the middle, and the score became [-]-[-]!

In the No.301 minute of the second half, Ryan Giggs, who came off the bench, shot from the right side of the penalty area and the score became [-]-[-]!
In the No.40 minute of the second half, Manchester United won a penalty kick. Rooney scored a hat-trick overnight and locked the score at [-]-[-]!
The Manchester media vented their depression, and Manchester Life shouted: "Manchester United used a hearty [-]-[-] victory to tell the world that Manchester United is still the Premier League hegemony!"

The Manchester Evening News shouted: "The king is back!"

The Guardian issued this question: "If Manchester United can play such a smooth cooperation in the last game, can the Wolves retreat in the Theater of Dreams?"

On the 21st, the Wolves returned home and swept Manchester United [-]-[-] away. With the three goals of Bell, Kenting and Peter, they easily defeated Burnley [-]-[-] and consolidated their top position.

And won the Premier League half-time championship one round ahead of schedule!
As a newly promoted team to win the half-time championship, this has never happened since the establishment of the Premier League.

The British media gave the Wolves great praise, and Wang Rui became a name often mentioned by the media. Many media believed that it was because of his outstanding performance that the Wolves rewrote history and set a new record.

Chelsea, which rose to second in the last round, drew with West Ham United [-]-[-] away. Manchester United took this opportunity to return to the second position in the standings. The difference between them and Wolves is five points.

There was a big upset in this round of the game. The giants Liverpool lost [-]-[-] away at the foot of Portsmouth, which was at the bottom of the points.Wolves' opponent in the next round is Liverpool, and the outside world thinks that Liverpool sitting at home is in danger.

One is a two-game winning streak, and the victory is so easy, and the other is a new away game defeat at the foot of an underdog. The difference in morale between the two sides is too great.

Liverpool's local media don't think so. Manchester United can rebound strongly immediately after a disastrous home defeat. Could it be that Liverpool can't?
They put forward another point of view on the tactical level-the Wolves' crazy wolf tactics are actually a high-position press, and Liverpool is the giant team that does the best high-position press.The crazy wolf tactics that are helpless for other giants are nothing in front of Liverpool.

In an interview with the media, Ince also admitted that this point of view is reasonable: "The Wolves' crazy wolf tactics are indeed learning from Liverpool's high-position press. I don't deny this."

"Both teams are good at playing high-pressing teams. It's really hard to say who wins. Even if we lose this game, it doesn't matter. After all, we are playing away."

The Daily Mail believes that the outcome of this game is difficult to predict: "For Liverpool, last season was a year of recovery, and they scored the highest points in league history-86 points! Second to Manchester United, ranking in the standings No. 2!"

"But for Liverpool, the biggest problem this season is that after selling the tactical core Alonso, they have not found a suitable successor. Liverpool is now ranked sixth in the standings, which is in stark contrast to last season. The reason—they failed to rebuild!"

"This is also the reason why Liverpool strongly wants Wang. They need a tactical core, and Wang's dispatch and attack power in the frontcourt can not only make up for the gap left by Alonso's departure, but also enhance the attack power."

"The last round of the away game lost [-]-[-] at the foot of Portsmouth, which was at the bottom of the points. Liverpool's midfield organization was the biggest problem. It is hard to say that Liverpool will be able to rebound strongly when they return to home."

"In addition, the Wolves are a team that is very good at fighting tough battles. They are known for their tenacious will, and they have reversed and won many times when they were behind. The most typical game is against Chelsea at home, and the Wolves are behind zero to two. Under the circumstances, Wang's three free kicks were used to reverse the victory."

"Of course, the Wolves are not without hidden dangers. Wang, who was injured in the game against Manchester United, did not even make the squad in the last game. This shows that he has not recovered. Can Wang come back in the game against Liverpool?"

"Without Wang's scheduling in the frontcourt, can the Wolves' counterattack be as sharp as before?"

"So it's hard to say whether the game will be won or lost."

The London media sided with the Wolves. The London Financier said: "The Wolves have proven themselves to be giant killers with their actions. If they can beat Manchester United away, they can win Liverpool away with low morale."

Just as the media were predicting the next round of competition, a piece of news that shocked the UK was released!

On December 24, Fabio Capello announced the new England training list. A total of four Wolves entered this list!

Wang Rui, Peter, Kenting, Oakes!

Four people entered the England squad, the same number as Chelsea, and only two of the giants Manchester United and Liverpool were selected!
This is the glory that belongs to the Wolves, and the glory that belongs to the small town of Wolverhampton!

In addition to announcing the squad, Capello also announced the opponents and time and place of England's warm-up match - January 2010, 06, Wembley Stadium and [-] World Cup champion Italy!
There was an uproar in public opinion and doubts about the Wolves' four players entering the new England training camp.

The Daily Mirror shouted: "Wolves become the biggest winner!"

The Guardian questioned Capello's selection criteria: "Is the Italian selection criteria based on the Premier League rankings? The top two teams have four players selected. This selection criteria is problematic." , this is irresponsible to English football!"

The Daily Mail analyzed: "Capello fulfilled his promise and let Wang enter the England team squad. The selection of Peter, Kenting and Oakes really exceeded people's expectations, but if you analyze it carefully, it is not unreasonable. Yes, the Wolves' ability to occupy the top position in the Premier League is inseparable from the outstanding performance of the three of them!"

Manchester City Life believes that it is not a good thing for the four Wolves to be selected for the England team: "The entry of Wang and Kenting will intensify the competition for England's midfielders, and the entry of the four Wolves into the England team will also deepen the team. Internal contradictions."

"Peter's joining has a certain effect. After all, England needs a powerful striker like him. As for Oakes, for a 32-year-old player, this age is the first time to enter the national team. Is there any other reason? Is this Capello's solution to the dispute between the two virtues?"

"If so, his method is undoubtedly wrong. The addition of a third force will only exacerbate the conflict, because this force is not strong enough to play a containment role at all."

The doubts in the UK have also attracted the attention of the famous Italian sports media Gazzetta dello Sport. After all, England's warm-up opponent is Italy.

They said: "After the announcement of the new England training camp roster, it aroused doubts in the British media. The main reason is that the Wolves have four players entering this list, and they are all entering for the first time."

"The three English players who were called 'the four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth!' by Wolves fans were all selected. Great play is inseparable."

"Peter's entry has been recognized by many media, but the selection of Kenting and Oakes has been questioned by the media. Some British media believe that Capello is balancing the power of the locker room."

"With the selection of these three 20-year-old players, it also indicates that Capello has begun to focus on the construction of the team's youth."

The Munich Daily commented: "Capello finally complied with the voice of the fans and recruited the core king of the Wolves midfielder to the England team, but this player who is not yet 20 years old, can he stand firm in the England team with a strong midfielder? Heel, still unknown."
