Chapter 031 Let go, let go...

In a relaxed and happy atmosphere, the Wolverhampton team has spent six days of training. The players have all calmed down and are ready to face the challenge of Aston Villa at home.

So far, Wolverhampton has the worst performance in the Premier League. They have been eliminated from the FA Cup and League Cup long ago, and they are not qualified to participate in European competitions, so they only need to play one game every week.

Even so, head coach Dave Jones was still worried about the roster, as the team's injuries were too serious. Although Wang Li and Harrison, two young players, came on as substitutes in the match against Tottenham and performed very well, it was also because Tottenham did not know them well and were caught off guard.

Among them, the player he is most worried about and most optimistic about is, of course, the sixteen-year-old Wang Li. Those who have watched the game with some football knowledge will know that although the young player Harrison is not bad in strength, he was just lucky to get a hat trick in the last game. With Wang Li's stable output in the midfield, any forward can perform well.

But before this game, Aston Villa will definitely conduct a special study on Wang Li, so will he let him start in the next game? Dave Jones is a little hesitant about this.

After all, Wang Li is just a young man who is not even seventeen years old. Even if he has outstanding abilities, whether he can persist in the full ninety minutes of the game, whether he can calmly face the defensive intensity of the Premier League, and whether he can still perform so well against the defense of star players, all these remain to be seen.

Although Dave Jones was very excited about the team's comeback in the previous game and scoring five goals in the second half, he was not carried away by the victory. He was very calm when working. Only such a head coach could lead the cash-strapped Wolverhampton to be promoted to the Premier League.

Many talented players have been lost in the crowd due to injuries. He really didn't want to see this sixteen-year-old player suffer such a blow. This was unfair to the young players and a huge loss to the club.

I wonder if this black-haired kid is ready to join the first-team lineup? If he knew, he would be very excited. Thinking of this, Dave felt happy again. At this critical moment for the team, it was really a blessing from God to get such a talented player.

…

Amidst much anticipation, the 16th round of the English Premier League kicked off.

At the beginning of this season, Aston Villa introduced stars such as Gavin McCann (Sunderland, £2.25 million), Sorensen (Sunderland, £2.25 million), and Olenik (Austria FK, unknown), and eliminated many older players from the team, lowering the team's average age and greatly enhancing its strength.

As of the 15th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa has ranked fifth in the league, only 9 league points less than this year's extremely strong Arsenal. This year's Arsenal is too strong, and the unbeaten first 15 rounds made Manchester United, who is right behind, a little embarrassed.

Although Aston Villa was defeated by Arsenal 4-0 in the last round, it doesn’t mean anything. In this game, Wolverhampton is obviously not favored. Even if they win the last game, their points have caught up with Tottenham Hotspur, which is ranked second from the bottom. However, with the advantage of goal difference, Wolverhampton is still ranked last...

No one expected Wolverhampton to upset Aston Villa in this round. Their only concern was whether the two young players of Wolverhampton could maintain their outstanding performance against a strong team like Aston Villa.

…

With Wolverhampton's sluggish performance in the Premier League, fans are somewhat discouraged about their team's league journey, but the two new players who appeared in the last game made them very curious, so the Molineux Stadium was full today, and most fans wanted to see whether the strength of these two new stars is as strong as written in the newspapers.

Dave Jones announced the list of main players before the game started: goalkeeper Akers, central defenders Elvin and Naror, full-backs Cradoric and Coyle, midfielder Kennedy, left and right midfielders Newton and Allen, and forwards Miller, Kamara and Kurt.

He arranged a 4123 formation, determined to use the personal abilities of Kennedy and Wang Li to fight against Aston Villa. If Wang Li had not joined, he would never dare to arrange this strange formation. Facing a team like Aston Villa, Wolverhampton could only play defensive counterattacks. However, with Wang Li's constant breakthroughs and long pass support, plus the captain Kennedy's ability to command the entire game, he was confident that he could fight the opponent.

I have to say that Dave is definitely a head coach who dares to take risks. He is just 47 years old and has not been corroded by the years. He is not afraid of failure.

"Boys, although the opposing team is indeed very strong, we are the proud Wolverhampton and we will not be afraid of any enemy. Do you have confidence?" Dave Jones encouraged morale during the locker room.

"Yes!!!" All the players shouted loudly, and then walked out of the locker room one by one and went to the player tunnel to prepare to enter the field.

Aston Villa players had already been waiting in the player tunnel. They were not nervous at all. Three points were almost certain in this game. As they watched the Wolverhampton players slowly approaching, some of them even had a hint of perseverance on their faces.

Yes, they have reason to do so. Wolverhampton is not a team on the same level as them. They are the top group of the Premier League, while their opponents are the bottom team...

As for the 16-year-old player from Wolverhampton that the coach had mentioned before? They collectively inspected the players of Wolverhampton and noticed the black-haired boy walking in front, talking and laughing. He must be the one. However, he was really skinny. Would he fall down if touched? How powerful could such a player be?

Aston Villa's captain Hendry glanced at the team's bad boy, Alback, and then nodded in the direction of Wang Li. Alback walked towards Wang Li knowingly, stretched out his hand, looked at him with a smile, and said kindly: "Hello, you must be Alan Wang who played well in the last game for Wolverhampton. I am Alback, nice to meet you."

Wang Li was a little confused, as he didn't know him, but he still raised his hand and politely responded to Orbach. But at this time, he felt a strong force coming from the other party's hand, which was obviously a provocation from the other party.

Wang Li secretly chuckled in his heart, input a little internal force into his hands, exerted some strength, and then politely replied: "Hello."

Orbach originally wanted to use his own strength to scare the young boy and let him know that the Premier League is not a place for kids, but he did not expect that a huge force would come from the opponent's hands. The force even made him feel that his hands were broken. His legs went limp and he frowned and shouted, "Let go...ah...let go!!!"

Wang Li took his hand away indifferently, spread his hands helplessly and smiled at his teammates who were watching the fun nearby.

Covering his hands with a gloomy face, Orbach returned to his team mates, and then chattered with his teammates. Then the other players of Aston Villa gathered together and talked about something. They were more interested in this black-haired boy. Is he very strong? But they don't know how strong he is.
