Just as Gary looked at Long Fei's data and felt incredible.
The fans in the stands let out another gasp!
Obviously, another wave of excitement had swept through the field!
As Gary looked up towards the field.
He just saw the Wolves goalkeeper save Blackburn captain Rhodes' shot!
From the moment Rhodes brought the ball and took the shot.
It seemed like another clean-cut chance!
It's just that Rhodes, after all, wasn't one of those top strikers.
Even with a one-on-one chance.
He couldn't guarantee that every shot would go in!
This shot was a little too focused on power, and it lost some accuracy.
Resulting in the ball being saved by the opposing goalkeeper!
The Blackburn fans in the stands let out a sigh of regret!
But even though the shot didn't go in.
It boosted the morale of the Blackburn fans, as well as the players on the field!
After all, the team had just scored a goal.
Just a minute later.
The team had already organized another great opportunity to score!
They directly created a mini-climax!
The Wolves substitute players were also stunned.
"Did you see that pass?"
"Another long pass from the backfield, straight to the front!"
"It seems like it was the Oriental guy who passed it again!"
"That's right, it was him! Identical to the pass that led to the goal a minute ago!"
"He's a player Blackburn brought in after the winter break!"
"I remember not seeing this guy when we played Blackburn in the first half of the season!"
The discussion among the substitute players made the Wolves head coach, Gary, feel a chill in his heart.
The one-on-one chance that Blackburn's striker got just now was passed by this Oriental guy again?!
At this moment, Gary had a very clear judgment in his heart!
This Dragon Nation player named Long Fei.
Definitely has some talent in long passes!
Two consecutive long-distance passes in a short time.
Without certain long-pass talent, it's absolutely impossible to play that!
Even if it was a lucky long pass, it's absolutely impossible to get two lucky passes in a minute!
After Gary made his judgment in his heart.
Without any hesitation, he immediately shouted to the players on the field.
"Mark that Dragon Nation player! All of you, get serious!"
"Van Riffle! Execute Plan B!"
Gary was now completely serious.
He knew that if the game continued at this pace.
If they didn't start marking Long Fei tightly.
There was a good chance that Long Fei would pass some breathtaking long passes!
They had to start marking him with a dedicated player.
To restrict his long pass space!
As the Wolves' midfield core.
Van Riffle could be considered both offensive and defensive!
He was a Premier League-level midfielder that the Wolves had signed for a high price.
He had played for several teams in the Premier League.
And he was always a starter!
Since coming to Wolves, whether it was in attack or defense.
Van Riffle could be considered the top midfielder in the Championship!
Plan B in Gary's mouth.
Was actually a tactical code word.
It meant that Van Riffle was to perform dedicated man-to-man marking!
And the target of the marking, needless to say, Gary had already made it clear, it was Long Fei!
Seeing that the coach had asked him to execute Plan B.
Van Riffle was also surprised!
Among the teams they had played against in the Championship.
Few teams could make the Wolves fully committed and serious in defense!
Not to mention having himself, the core of the team, perform dedicated man-to-man marking!
But when he thought of the player the coach asked him to mark tightly was the Dragon Nation player who had just assisted, his doubts were relieved.
Because he was also very impressed by Long Fei's two long passes!
As the Wolves' midfield core, the top midfielder in the Championship.
Van Riffle considered his passing skills to be already very outstanding.
But those two long passes from the Dragon Nation player.
Both in terms of distance and accuracy, were far beyond his comprehension!
Take the pass that Long Fei assisted in scoring just now.
That long pass distance, being able to accurately find the striker and achieve an assist.
It was simply unimaginable!
Van Riffle, throughout his professional career so far, had never had a similar assist!
Van Riffle, after all, was a veteran with experience in the Premier League.
He immediately understood the coach's intentions.
This young man in front of him had extraordinary long-pass skills.
And if left unchecked.
Even though the Wolves were strong, there was a good chance they would stumble in this area!
Without any hesitation, Van Riffle immediately implemented the coach's tactical arrangement!
Van Riffle was 1.84 meters tall.
Weighing 82 kilograms.
His physical confrontation conditions were also excellent.
Therefore, when he tightly surrounded Long Fei, performing close marking.
It immediately put a lot of pressure on Long Fei!
Whether it was Long Fei's personal brilliance on the field.
Or Blackburn's previous momentum, achieving 4 consecutive wins.
The most fundamental core, of course, was Long Fei's extremely strong long-pass accuracy!
But to bring out this ability.
You also need the necessary passing space!
However, with Van Riffle's interference nearby.
Long Fei, let alone passing the ball.
Even trying to receive the ball from his teammates, safely and smoothly.
Was already a very difficult task!
Until the two consecutive passes that his teammates tried to pass to him.
Were both intercepted and blocked by Van Riffle.
Blackburn's teammates no longer dared to pass the ball to Long Fei casually!
At this moment, Long Fei was very clear.
Van Riffle's individual ability was very strong.
Especially his defensive strength.
Currently, besides his long-pass being at a ceiling level.
All other key attributes, basically, were a notch lower than this Van Riffle!
Naturally, when fighting with the opponent, he was at a disadvantage!
At this moment, the hearts of the Blackburn fans on the field were once again lifted!
The Wolves head coach, Gary, on the sidelines.
Once again had a smile on his lips.
It's undeniable that this Dragon Nation player does have long-pass talent.
But everyone could clearly see.
Besides long passes.
This Dragon Nation player's other qualities.
Whether it was speed, ball control, or physicality.
All seemed very ordinary, nothing stood out!
He had sent Van Riffle to mark him specifically.
It was absolutely perfect!
At this moment, as Long Fei on the field was completely locked down.
Blackburn's offensive wave also subsided!
And all of this was within the Wolves head coach Gary's expectations!
His judgment was correct!
As long as they completely lock down this Dragon Nation player, Long Fei.
Blackburn's entire offense would be completely shut down!
