The league achieved a four-game winning streak.
This made everyone at Blackburn very happy.
Long Fei's outstanding performance.
Also made the coach and teammates trust him more than ever!
Following this trend.
The team continued to dominate the league.
Continuing to achieve a longer winning streak.
This is not impossible.
But as the next round of league matches approached.
Long Fei could clearly feel.
The confidence and joy that the four-game winning streak brought to his teammates was slowly fading away!
Tomorrow is the fifth league match of the second half of the season.
On the training ground today.
It was clearly noticeable that the training atmosphere was very heavy.
During regular training, teammates would chat and laugh with each other, occasionally playing pranks on each other.
But today, it seemed that no one had the heart for it.
Even Deng, the vice-captain, who is known for his mischievous nature.
He also looked preoccupied today.
Captain Rhodes seemed to have noticed Long Fei's confusion.
He sighed and said.
"Long Fei, the improvement you have brought to the team is obvious to everyone!"
"The team has achieved a four-game winning streak after the winter break."
"Without a doubt, you are the team's biggest hero!"
"I've been playing for Blackburn for many seasons, and the last time we achieved a four-game winning streak was a long time ago."
"Honestly, there's nothing left to regret."
Long Fei couldn't help but smile and said:
"What's wrong with all of you today?"
"You're all so down, like you've lost your souls?"
"Rhodes, what you said just now sounds like a last will and testament."
"What do you mean no regrets, and you're satisfied?"
"What's wrong with a four-game winning streak, even if it's a forty-game winning streak, we can't stop!"
"Well said! Long Fei!"
Just then.
Head coach Mobley walked over.
He had also noticed.
That every player wasn't in good form during training today.
Everyone looked preoccupied.
Of course, Head Coach Mobley knew the reason behind the players' state.
It was because of the opponent they were facing tomorrow.
It was Wolverhampton Wanderers, currently ranked second in the English Championship!
Wolverhampton Wanderers is definitely a strong opponent!
For many fans around the world.
Perhaps many people don't know.
Wolves is actually just the team's nickname.
It got its name from the prominent black wolf head on the team's crest.
Wolves' original name.
Is actually Wolverhampton Wanderers.
This is an old team founded in 1877.
It was also one of the founding members of the English Football League.
Wolves was also a regular in the Premier League.
However, in the 2011 season.
They were unfortunately relegated to the Championship.
They even fell from the Championship to League One due to the team's financial problems.
Now, Wolves has come back to life.
They won the League One Championship last season and opened up a ten-point gap over the second-place team.
This season, they have been on a roll.
They currently rank second in the English Championship.
They are only one point behind the first-place team.
It can be said that based on Wolves' strength.
They are likely to finish in the top two of the Championship this season.
And directly gain the opportunity to be promoted to the Premier League next season!
To put it simply.
Wolves' current strength.
Is almost equivalent to that of a bottom-tier Premier League team.
Therefore, for most Championship teams.
Playing against Wolves is basically like fighting a Premier League team.
The bitterness of it.
Every player naturally knows very well.
The reason why Blackburn players were so down.
Was because they had a very bad memory of playing Wolves in the first half of the season.
In the first half of the season, the team played against Wolves at home.
They were defeated 4-0 by their opponents.
Moreover, throughout the entire game, Blackburn only had one shot on goal, and it wasn't even on target.
The entire game's rhythm was controlled by Wolves.
Blackburn's entire team was very passive and suffered greatly!
If it wasn't for the defenders' performance being relatively good.
The team might have conceded more than just four goals!
They will face Wolves again tomorrow.
And this time it's an away game.
This undoubtedly put a lot of psychological pressure on the Blackburn players!
Training with this kind of psychological pressure.
How could they train well!
Head Coach Mobley looked at the team's mental state.
He was quite helpless.
He also knew very well.
If they went into the game with this mental state.
The result would definitely be a defeat!
But he was happy to see.
Long Fei was different from everyone else.
His conversation with Captain Rhodes.
Mobley also heard it.
He was very impressed by Long Fei's fearless attitude towards his opponent!
Mobley also thought that this was an opportunity.
It was time to wake up the whole team!
"I've seen how each of you trained today!"
"I know that tomorrow's opponent, Wolves, is a very strong opponent!"
"We played them a few months ago, and we lost 4-0."
"But a defeat in one game doesn't mean anything!"
"If a team doesn't even have the courage to face defeat, to face their opponents."
"Then that team is not going to succeed!"
"Look at your performance in the second half of the season!"
"You have achieved a four-game winning streak and become the team that has earned the most points this month!"
"Do you know what that means?"
"In the four league matches this month, out of all 24 teams in the Championship, your performance is the best!"
"It doesn't matter that Wolves are currently ranked second in the Championship, even if they're ranked first, what does it have to do with us!"
"We are not the same Blackburn as last season!"
"You all know that we have improved in terms of strength!"
"We are no longer afraid of any team!"
"Just like Long Fei said just now, a four-game winning streak is just the beginning!"
"We will achieve more victories and keep going!"
At this time, all the teammates looked at Long Fei unanimously!
The coach's words were like a bolt from the blue, waking everyone up!
Yes! We are completely different from the team in the first half of the season!
We now have a new player like Long Fei!
He is the team's strongest secret weapon!
We have achieved a four-game winning streak, something we haven't been able to do in recent seasons!
Why can't we muster the courage to overcome this obstacle, Wolves, and aim for a five-game winning streak?!
At this time, Long Fei also smiled and said to Captain Rhodes.
"Rhodes, I was very unhappy with what you said just now."
"Is it because I've been giving you fewer assists recently, or because you haven't been scoring enough goals?"
"You actually said such discouraging words, just like the other teammates!"
"I think the ones who should be worried right now are not us, but the Wolves defenders!"
"They're going to face a team that's in great form this second half of the season, a team that has achieved a four-game winning streak!"
"And this team is determined to crush them on their home ground!"
Long Fei's words were deafening!
Previously, Long Fei was a new player on the team.
He had already earned the respect of all his teammates with his skills.
The professional football field is a place where strength speaks for itself.
Although he had only joined the team recently.
Long Fei's position in the Blackburn locker room.
Has become extraordinary!
He rarely revealed his heart to his teammates, or spoke publicly.
But seeing his teammates' dejected state today.
Long Fei, who doesn't like to keep his thoughts to himself.
He also spoke directly to his teammates.
Captain Rhodes heard Long Fei's words.
He felt ashamed at this point.
He also immediately realized that as captain, he shouldn't be so down.
Moreover, Long Fei's half-joking, half-serious words.
Also reminded Rhodes.
Hasn't he been receiving assists from Long Fei in these past few matches?
The goals in these past few matches have made Rhodes regain the feeling of confidence he had years ago!
With a passer like Long Fei in the team.
Why should he fear Wolves?!
At this time, it wasn't just Captain Rhodes.
The teammates also deeply respected Long Fei!
His words not only ignited the team's confidence.
But also deepened the teammates' trust in Long Fei!
Head Coach Mobley watched the change in the team's mental state.
He was very happy!
At this point, he looked at Long Fei with admiration in his eyes.
Long Fei's skills were strong, and he was gifted.
But it wasn't just his long-pass skills!
What was even more valuable was.
Long Fei possessed a mental strength that ordinary players don't have!
And this mental strength is the foundation for becoming a champion player!
