Coaching career started as a college team coach

Wei Le sat in the office, with the list of Wolves players and the statistics in front of him.

In fact, the main problem facing Wolves now is the lack of rotation players.

The tactics of the Wolves pay more attention to the breakthrough ability of the wing, and Wei Le wants to ensure the competitiveness of the wing at all times. In this way, if there are only two left and right forwards, it is indeed not enough.

If Almiron is injured, Bowen will have to play the whole game.

If Gonçalves is injured, Trossard will be more passive on the left.

Wei Le still wants to introduce one or two new forces on the wing.

In addition, Wei Le thinks that the position that needs to be strengthened is the right back.

Last season, Doherty was injured again and again, and Kounde basically supported a wing by himself. Fortunately, he was not injured, otherwise Wei Le would have to consider letting Bowen withdraw to play as a full-back.

Doherty's body has become more "fragile", which is a big problem.

Kounde's situation is quite special. To be honest, he is not the kind of full-back who can assist in the traditional sense, but a full-back who tends to defend inward.

He is somewhat different from a defensive midfielder, but more like a free man.

This tactical arrangement of the Wolves can indeed provide an additional receiving point in the process of passing the ball from the backcourt, and has achieved good results in the process of passing from the back to the front.

Then other teams followed suit and actually started the routine of inward full-backs. For a time, half of the teams in the Premier League were actually playing inward full-backs.

Wei Le was at a loss, when can we become a tactical pioneer?

That was originally a helpless solution.

The main reason for introducing Kounde last season was that Wei Le really couldn't find a suitable full-back for a while, and Doherty was in good shape at that time. So Kounde's position was actually Doherty's substitute.

Letting Kounde play as an inward full-back is on the one hand his ingenuity, but in fact it is because no one else can be competent for this position except him.

But Wei Le thinks that a "normal" full-back is still needed.

Mainly to provide Wei Le with more tactical options.

At this time, several names that had been lying on the scout list for a long time were mentioned again.

First, it was the Moroccan player Mazrawi. This player can also play for the Netherlands, because he has been playing in the Netherlands since he started professional football. After being discovered by Ajax in 2005, Mazrawi has been rising all the way in Ajax.

Mazrawi was born on November 14, 1997.

In 2013, the 15-year-old Mazrawi crossed the level to enter the Ajax U17, and the following year he entered the Ajax U18. In 2016, Mazrawi was selected for the Ajax second team, played with the team in the Dutch Eredivisie, and soon occupied the main position.

Mazrawi, known as the "new generation of Morocco", joined the Moroccan U20 youth team in 2016.

However, on the national team match day on the eve of this World Cup, Mazrawi was not selected for the big list.

Wei Le had indeed known about Mazrawi for a long time.

He was very fast, good at dribbling, and had excellent vision.

These were his strengths.

But what surprised Wei Le was the versatility of this player in the "positions that are good" panel of the system.

Some players, such as central defenders, may have been playing central defenders since they just started playing football. They have played central defenders all their lives and can only play central defenders. They will be at a loss when playing in other positions.

At most, they will be changed to inward fullbacks.

Some players, especially midfielders, generally have strong versatility. Players who are good at playing as defensive midfielders will not be too bad at playing as central midfielders, and those who are good at playing as central midfielders should be able to adapt to the attacking midfielder position.

Including wingers, a winger can also play if placed in the forward position, for example, Jota was originally changed from a winger.

Reflected in the system, the "positions that are good" panel is actually the outline of a football field divided into many pieces. The positions that these players are good at and can play will be shown on the outline of this football field.

For example, Jota's proficiency in the center position is bright green, the proficiency in the left winger position is also bright green, and the proficiency in the attacking midfielder position is gray-green.

This shows that Jota is good at playing left winger and center forward, and can play attacking midfielder.

Generally speaking, it is enough for a player to be good at two or three positions.

But Mazrawi's situation is very special.

Wei Le discovered that every position on this player's panel except the goalkeeper has a color!

Although some are red and some are yellow, it means that Mazrawi is not very familiar with these positions. But at least there are colors -—This shows that Mazrawi has indeed played this position for a period of time in his career.

His good positions are all over the front, middle and back fields, left, middle and right.

He is best at being a right back.

But his positions as defensive midfielder, right midfielder and left midfielder are all green to varying degrees.

Mazrawi is now 21 years old, and his height is almost fixed, which is 183cm. He can indeed play as a defensive midfielder, a full-back, and has advantages as a winger.

Getting this general is like getting a thousand troops!

Wei Le really wants it.

But although Mazrawi is evaluated as a potential Premier League player in Wei Le's system, Mazrawi, who has just been promoted to the first team for three months, has not really shown his talent.

And Wolves once hinted at Mazrawi's price.

Wei Le & Matt Hobbs: "A woman!"

As a result, the "black shop" Ajax said: "Don't even think about it without 40 million euros!"

Matt Hobbs: "......?"

Wei Le: "A woman horse!"

He wanted to fly to the Netherlands right now, grab the collar of Ajax's football director and let him see the evaluation of Transfermarkt. Mazraoui's value is at most 7 million euros! ! !

Who is responsible for the valuation of Ajax and dares to give a price of 40 million? !

Who gave them the confidence? Fish Leong? ?

Ajax is "famous". They rely on a good youth training system and specialize in selling young players who have earned their value at high prices. This is no secret.

There is no so-called "not for sale" in the Ajax team. Everyone can leave, and they will not reject any offer.

Moreover, they are so stingy that they want to sell a pair of leather shoes for 3 million euros.

Ajax is asking for a sky-high price, and Wolves can certainly pay it back.

But Wei Le saw clearly that Ajax did not seem to want Mazraoui to leave easily. If he spent more than 30 million euros on this "lottery", it would be too worthless.

Wolves are not a sucker! Although Wolves have a lot of money this season, it does not mean that Wolves can spend it casually!

Wei Le gave up Mazraoui.

He is no longer as "thirsty for talents" as he was a year ago, and he has more choices. Now Wolves' reputation can also attract more young talents.

After all, the opportunity to play in the Champions League directly is not easy to find!

This is the reputation that Wolves have built up game by game.
