Premier League new season tour - Wolves, passive blood exchange net investment is less than that of competitors, Wolves booked a relegation quota for the new season?

Review of last season

Wolves changed coaches in the middle of last season, from being on the verge of relegation to leading the relegation zone by 17 points at the end of the season, surviving in the increasingly fierce competitive environment of the Premier League, continuing their stable relegation performance in recent seasons. For them, being able to continue to stay in the Premier League is a successful season. The team performed very well last season, and their goal data were ranked in the middle of the league, scoring 56 goals to set a new record for the team's Premier League goal. However, the team's three central defenders' low-post defensive system did not show high-quality defensive effects, and the number of conceded goals was only less than that of the three relegated teams. After Pereira took over the team, her performance and competitive state improved significantly. In the first half of the game, they scored points against Tottenham and Manchester United. In the second half, Pereira's system took shape. In the final stage, he scored a six-game winning streak, thus completing the relegation ahead of schedule.

Summer transfer:

The transfer window opens. Wolves have successively traded the core of the offense and defense, Cunya and Ait Nuri, who are on both sides, and have recovered more than 100 million yuan in funds and invested nearly 100 million yuan in response to the matchup between the two core teams.

1, 27 million yuan to buy out Jurgen Larson. He was stable in the starting position from Celta last season, contributing 14 goals and 4 assists in 35 appearances, and his goal efficiency was second only to Cunya. The new season has basically established his offensive core position. Whether he can continue his offensive efficiency last season may become the key to the team's relegation.

2, 23 million signed to Fair Lopez from Celta. The player only used Celta B to be promoted to the first team last season. His ability to play was not fully reflected. His physical condition was similar to stretching. Under the Wolves' three-center-back system, the double tower forward has the ability to help the team's offense;

3, 17 million signed to midfielder Arias from Fruminense. He can play more comprehensively in multiple positions in the midfield and frontcourt. He has participated in 20+ goals in the Brazilian League for four consecutive seasons. Whether he can quickly adapt to the Premier League environment and integrate into the team system is the test that the players are currently facing.

4, 12 million signed full-back David Walfe from Alkmaar. He is an important supplement to the team's full-back position after Ait Nuri left the team. He played a relatively prominent performance in the Dutch Eredi last season, contributing 7 assists.

In addition to the above signings, Wolves and Verona right-back Chashua will soon reach an agreement. At the same time, the team officially proposed the intention to introduce Chelsea defenders Di Sasi and David Forfana. If these two signings are successfully reached, it will relatively improve the poor defensive situation of last season for Wolves.

Lineup and Tactics: After taking over, Pereira still insisted on the Wolves' three-center-back system, 3-4-2-1 and 3-5-2 formation conversions, playing low-level defense and counter-attack quickly. In the second half of the season, his tactical thinking brought visible help to the team's performance improvement. Judging from the current signing situation, we will continue to deepen the tactical advantages of last season to fill the tactical loopholes.

According to the arrangement of the preseason teams, according to the 3-5-2 formation, the two tower forward Larsen is partnered with Lopez/Huang Xican, midfielders Joao Gomez, Andre and Arias, wingbacks Hoford/Monesi + Doherty, the three center backs are still Toti Gomez and Agbadu, and there is also a central defender to see Moslak's injury status and whether the upcoming new players can quickly integrate.

New season goals and challenges:

Transfer window team strengthens the core of leaving the team, and other positions remain basically unchanged. Therefore, in the current Premier League environment, Wolves still need to pursue steady development, and relegation is the most important goal of the team in the new season. The challenge the team faces still comes from several other relegation competitors and three promoted teams with large investments. Wolves' current net transfer investment is far less than that of several relegation opponents. There is a lack of competitiveness. Whether the relegation goal can be achieved, Wolves must first ensure that they play a good relegation battle. Whether Arias, Larson and Lopez can continue to carry the team's offensive banner after Cunya leaves the team is a big question. The Wolves in the new season may face a more difficult situation than last season.

Summary:

Based on the team's revenue and lineup offensive and defensive capabilities, it is not easy for Wolves to replicate the 17-point advantage last season to complete relegation in advance. With most of the relegation opponents investing heavily, Wolves' signings have only filled the gaps between Cunya and Ait Nuri, and their offensive and defensive levels have not been improved. In the environment with more fierce competition in the new season, Wolves' prospects seem to be worrying, which depends on whether Perare's full season can continue to perform stably after taking over the team.
