Wolverhampton.
Molineux Stadium.
The Wolves' home ground, capable of holding over 30,000 people.
At this moment, it was already a cacophony of noise!
The Wolves fans.
Had arrived early at their home ground, ready to watch this key match of the league.
In the Championship.
Wolves' home ground was also known as a Devil's home ground!
Just entering this stadium.
As opponents, the Championship players.
Could feel the difference of this stadium!
Modern stadium design.
Complete and comprehensive stadium facilities.
And enough seats for fans to watch.
All indicated.
This stadium was different from the home grounds of ordinary Championship teams!
This was indeed the case.
Wolves, as a team that has risen in the past decade or so.
Could be considered a regular in the Premier League.
And this stadium.
At the time of construction, it was built to the standards of a Premier League team!
Naturally, it was not in the same class as other Championship teams!
This also allowed Wolves' home ground.
To accommodate enough fans.
To cheer for their home team.
To a certain extent, it helped to strengthen the momentum of the home ground atmosphere!
The match had not yet begun.
Just this venue.
Was as if constantly reminding the opponent.
They were about to face a team with Premier League strength!
It could be considered a kind of psychological deterrence before the game!
However, this deterrence.
Apparently, it already had limited impact on Blackburn.
During yesterday's training.
Long Fei's declaration.
Gave his teammates a lot of encouragement!
The persuasiveness of this encouragement.
Indeed, only Long Fei, who had performed exceptionally well, could achieve the desired effect!
However, at the pre-match press conference.
In order not to put any mental pressure on the players.
Manager Mowbray still did not state the target for this match.
When faced with reporters' questions.
He only emphasized "we will give our all in this match."
But for Wolves, who were playing at home.
They were quite high-profile.
They didn't take Blackburn seriously at all.
Wolves manager Gary, when facing reporters, the remarks he made.
Couldn't be called arrogant.
It was more like a kind of arrogance!
"Our goal for this match is to take all three points! Playing at home, this goal will never change!"
"We played against Blackburn in the first half of the season, and we won easily by four goals! I believe this match will not be too difficult!"
"Blackburn have recently achieved four consecutive wins? That's great, but it's not important."
"We have also achieved three wins and one draw in our last four matches. If our opponents hadn't parked the bus in the last match, and if our players hadn't been unlucky, we would have won four in a row!"
"This match will be a window for the players to vent their frustration from the last match's goalless draw!"
"Blackburn's new Chinese player? I seem to have seen some reports about him in the newspapers recently."
"But I want to emphasize that Wolves are different from other teams, they are not at the same level of strength!"
"Blackburn's new player can perform well against other teams, but here, I'm sorry, it's impossible!"
"Man-to-man marking? Focus on marking that Chinese new player? We don't have any arrangements in this regard! And we don't need to!"
"As most Wolves fans often see, in this match, we will use a devastating attack to crush our opponents!"
Wolves manager Gary's remarks.
Made Blackburn fans very unhappy.
"Wolves are too arrogant! We've achieved four consecutive wins recently! How can they look down on us so much?!"
"It's simply speechless. They are so dismissive of us!"
"This match, we'll let them know that our strength is completely different from the first half of the season!"
"I want to know if they really think so little of Long Fei?!"
"Four matches, 9 assists! Long Fei's incredible assisting ability, are they blind to ignore it?!"
Although Blackburn fans were indignant.
But some fans were clearly more cautious.
They were not too optimistic about this match!
"Wolves are indeed a team with Premier League level strength! It's no surprise that they are so arrogant!"
"The Blackburn team that has won four consecutive matches, this match really welcomes a truly strong opponent!"
"Don't even think about getting five consecutive wins against Wolves."
"Even getting a draw and earning a point would be very difficult!"
"It's undeniable that Long Fei has performed incredibly well in the previous matches."
"But against a strong opponent like Wolves, it is also a key question whether he can maintain his excellent form!"
At this moment, within the players' tunnel.
The Blackburn players who were about to take the field.
Were unaware of the public opinion surrounding this match.
To be honest, many players were quite nervous at this time.
Although they were all professional players.
But facing a powerful opponent.
It was inevitable that their minds would become preoccupied.
Compared to his other teammates.
Long Fei was chatting and laughing at this moment, showing no signs of stage fright.
This was just Long Fei's personality.
In this world, there was nothing he feared!
The stronger the opponent.
The more Long Fei wanted to compete!
His competitive spirit and desire to challenge were now filling Long Fei's heart!
The teammates who had been somewhat nervous.
Seeing Long Fei's carefree demeanor.
All of them relaxed.
Actually, for Blackburn's players.
They were very clear that the courage they had to challenge the second-place Wolves.
Most of it was given by Long Fei!
After all, Blackburn's transformation in the second half of the season.
Their ability to triumph all the way was also reliant on Long Fei's orchestrated attacks!
Long Fei's calmness at this time.
Naturally, it had a positive guiding effect on them!
Captain Rhodes also loudly encouraged his teammates:
"Everyone, cheer up! I believe we can play to our full potential in this match!"
"Trust Long Fei's performance in this match! He will still be our trump card!"
"Fight hard in this match!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
Captain Rhodes' words were met with a unanimous response from his teammates!
Finally, the players from both teams entered the field!
The over 30,000 fans present.
Immediately erupted in deafening cheers!
However, looking around.
Most of it was a sea of gold.
This was the color of Wolves' home jersey.
Because they were playing at home.
Most of the fans present were Wolves fans!
Blackburn's original fan base.
Could not compare to Wolves.
Plus, it was an away match, the number of fans who came to cheer was also quite limited.
The group of fans who came to cheer for the team today.
At most, there were only a few hundred people.
This was immediately drowned out in the ocean of tens of thousands of Wolves fans!
There was another very real reason.
That was, playing away against the second-placed Wolves.
Most fans felt that this match was basically doomed.
Although Long Fei's arrival had boosted the team's strength.
No one yet believed.
That just one player was not enough to make a whole team transform.
Plus, the crushing defeat against Wolves in the first half of the season.
The shadow left on the fans was too great.
This also led to most fans not being very optimistic about today's match!
Blackburn manager Mowbray at this time.
With a stern expression, he looked at the field.
His gaze never left Long Fei!
Mowbray was more aware than anyone else.
Whether this match went well or not.
Long Fei's performance would be the absolute factor!
