Chelsea's left winger William scored a goal, and Rudiger scored a header to expand the score. In the end, Chelsea defeated Wolves 2-0 at home and advanced to the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

Wolves' domestic cup road this year is halfway over. Whether they can gain something in the FA Cup is a matter of the second half of the season.

If it is acceptable to rotate substitutes and lose to Chelsea, the state of Wolves will take a sharp turn for the worse in the next period of time.

At the end of October, Wolves ushered in a devilish schedule of one game every three days. After the away game against Leicester City on October 30, they will go to France to challenge Lyon on November 3, which is the fourth game of the Europa League group stage.

Then, there is another home game against Watford on November 6. Let alone the intensity of the game, the travel is enough for Wolves. First, they cross England, then travel back and forth to France, and finally return to their home court to play.

For these games, Wolves seem to be affected by these off-field factors and their performance is very disappointing.

First, they lost 1-2 to Leicester City away.

The two goals in this game were basically launched from the wing. First, Alphonso Davies counterattacked after being intercepted after breaking through the wing. Right winger Mahrez wore gloves in this game and was in great shape.

He took advantage of Ruben Dias's defense to pass the ball to Vardy, who volleyed and showed Martinez what violent aesthetics is called.

After scoring the goal, Vardy rushed to the sidelines and kicked the corner flagpole of the stadium, which gave the managers of the King Power Stadium more work after the game. He was also fined a yellow card.

However, the violent goal ignited the entire stadium, and all people cared about was Vardy's wonderful shot.

In the second half, after Doherty was replaced, right-back Kounde performed well in this game, but Alphonso Davies seemed to be affected by the goal he gave to the opponent in the first half, and he was a little timid in the second half.

This also led to his return pass directly to Gray. Leicester City's front midfielder saw that the defense was empty and directly chose a long shot from the outside! Martinez saved the ball, and this shot scared everyone.

It was nearly 30 meters away from the goal, and even scored in the goal range, almost able to score!

The corner kick created by this goal was not used well by Leicester City.

However, the Wolves' counterattack did not produce any results. At this time, Gray rushed out again, snatched the ball before Trossard, and then strode directly to the midfield!

In terms of speed, Alphonso Davies is not afraid of Gray, but Gray is more prepared! Alphonso Davies stepped down hastily and was dodged by Gray.

The counterattack continued!

Gray passed the ball to Mahrez on the right before Dendoncker arrived.

Mahrez made an inverted triangle pass, Chilwell advanced into the penalty area and shot directly!

There was nothing to do with this ball. The ball hit Maguire and there was a refraction. Martinez could not judge the ball path, so he could only watch the goal fly into the net.

In the injury time of the second half, the Wolves' counterattack forced the opponent to foul in the penalty area. The full-back Danny Simpson hooked Jota from the side, giving the Wolves a chance to save face.

And Jota also did it in one fell swoop.

At least the Wolves were not shut out.

After receiving advice from the team's medical team, Wei Le knew that many players in the Wolves' lineup had not even adjusted to the time difference. In fact, it was not just the players, but even he himself felt uncomfortable with this highly irregular life.

A period of staying up late made him feel like he was rushing to his university deadline, and coming to Lyon made him even more mentally unwell.

Fortunately, this time, the "friendly" French people did not disturb their rest downstairs in the hotel where they stayed, but even without these tricks, the 11-man list sent by Wei Le based on physical condition has already explained the physical problems that Wolves are facing.

The goalkeeper is Martinez, and in the central defender position, Ruben Dias is partnered with Coady, and the two sidebacks are Tierney and Doherty.

Among the three players in the midfield, Van der Beck did not play. He was replaced by De Paul, standing on the right, and on the left isRodri, the defensive midfielder is Dendoncker.

The forward line has not changed much.

Tierney was replaced by Alphonso Davies, at least Tierney will not attack so aggressively. But the problem is that in the Wolves' tactical play, in order to achieve the goal of creating a numerical advantage in the frontcourt, there will always be a full-back who has to advance.

At the same time, Dendoncker is the only one wandering in the Wolves' midfield.

Rodri will advance at the right time.

And that's the problem. What happens after the forward advance?

There are many receiving points in the frontcourt, but the Wolves' wingers are all speed players. They prefer to dribble and break through, then seek cross opportunities, or retreat to the center forward.

The midfielders' several receiving points are easily wasted.

Many of Rodri's long-range goals were received by the rebound balls cleared by the opponent, rather than the passes from the wingers on both sides. Why can't these receiving points be used?

In fact, the problem is very simple, it is a question of success rate.

Wolves have a very high dribbling success rate, and the wingers on both sides have an average of nearly 10 dribbles per game, which is already very impressive. They can create opportunities on the wing.

But what if they pass it back?

The narrow space in the middle is not suitable for Wolves' frontcourt players to create opportunities, and Wolves' pass success rate to the middle is also a problem. In the final analysis, Wolves' offense is intended to be launched on both sides, and they do not pay much attention to the penetration of the middle, and their penetration ability in the middle is not strong.

The first choice of the full-back after getting the ball must be to pass it to the winger on the side, not the midfielder.

But this is enough in the Championship League. After all, even if Wolves' opponents know that Wolves are going to go to the wing, what can they do? There are not many ways, and it is still intensive defense.

In order to avoid losing the ball in the frontcourt, Wolves will choose to go to the wing instead of passing it to the middle, which becomes a dead loop.

In the Premier League, this simple and rough style of play will not work. The disadvantage of this impactful style of play is obvious, that is, it is very dependent on the ability of the players and the state of the team.

Similarly, it is very difficult to deal with if you are hit and counterattacked.

At first, this aggressive style of play was indeed quite unconventional compared to Wolves’ season positioning, so it did achieve good results at the beginning of the season.

But everyone quickly came to their senses. As long as the two wingers were locked, Wolves would lose the ball if they passed it to the midfield.

After all, in the Premier League now, who can say whose players are inferior to others in terms of hard power? Of course not. The ability levels of players who can gain a foothold in the Premier League will not differ too much.

Therefore, Wolves’ individual ability advantage is not so obvious.
