Chapter 41 - Only defend!
At the press conference before the game, many reporters came to interview, thanks to the identity of Wan Sheng. A Chinese as the head coach led Derby County to the League One League, which is very prosperous in itself, plus Wan Sheng At the age, many media are curious about him.
England media circles are discussing him.
Although the media analyzed Wan Sheng’s experience, Wan Sheng was still mysterious in everyone’s eyes. At the press conference held by the Derby County Club for him to become the head coach, Wan Sheng never appeared in the public eye. Even though most of the training in the team is closed, the reporters have no way to interview.
Now they have a chance.
The Football Association stipulates that the regular professional league, both teams must hold a press conference before the game, and requires the head coaches of both teams to attend.
With this, Wansheng will definitely appear at the press conference.
Many reporters find it very interesting to interview Wan Sheng. They all know that this young man is a rookie. He can make him speechless in a few words, and he is also arrogant. He keeps his mouth closed and he is confident. Lead Derbyshire to achieve the goal of relegation.
The senses of them all are not so good.
This Chinese is too young to have any skills, but he doesn’t know humility at all. They stubbornly prepared a bunch of questions to come.
They are not polite at all.
They want to let this Chinese know what is called the power of the media, let him realize that in the football world, he is just a rookie and realize his own ability.
The press conference just started.
“We made a complete preparation.” Wan Sheng sat down and confronted a reporter, said with full of fighting spirit, “Bradford is not a good opponent, but we are fighting for relegation, we have not retreated. ! We must win! I also believe that we will be the final winner. “
Even with preparation, some reporters think that Wansheng is too arrogant.
A reporter asked in person, “Don’t you think you are too arrogant? Must you win? Bradford is not a soft persimmon.”
Wan Sheng didn’t answer the first time, but turned down and turned over the notebook before laughing, “This is confidence and fighting spirit.”
“Where does your confidence come from?” Another reporter stood up and asked.
Wan Sheng glanced at the reporter and said nothing immediately.
The reporter felt inexplicable. He thought Wan Sheng did n’t hear it, and he repeated the sentence again. As a result, Wan Sheng just shook his head.
The reporter sat down a bit blankly.
Then a reporter stood up and asked, “Mr. Wan Sheng, can you tell me what Derby County has prepared for this game?”
Wansheng glanced down at the notebook and smiled, “I refuse to answer any questions from the Derbyshire Sports News.”
“Can you tell me what you think of Bradford?” Another reporter.
“We have hatred, I refuse to answer any of your questions.”
Back and forth this sentence, many reporters who went to Derbyshire to interview and got a sentence of “we are enemies” immediately understood a bit. It turned out that he said that sentence just to not be interviewed?
Other reporters are a bit dazed.
So reporters asked questions, some got answers, and some got the sentence “We have hatred, I refuse to answer any of your questions”, the most unlucky is the “Derby County Sports News”, they are Derbyshire local media This time, three reporters were sent to interview, including Brooklyn.
Brooklyn got a sentence “We have had a hatred.” After two other reporters asked questions, Wan Sheng also gave a sentence “We have never had a hatred.” Wan Sheng looked at the notebook carefully and laughed, “You are special. Because Mr. Brooklyn and I had a great feud, I was involved in his newspaper. I refused to answer all questions from the reporters of the Derbyshire Sports News. “
The news interview before the game became a farce, and Wan Sheng did not answer a few questions.
This also made those reporters who were rejected by Wan Sheng irritated. They gritted their teeth and watched the Chinese leave the press conference. They thought that if Derby County lost, they would make this guy look good!
Even refused to answer their questions?
Who does he think he is?
……
“This mysterious coach from China refused to answer all questions related to the game before the game. It seems that he has no confidence at all, and he does not have much confidence in the game when he wants to come.”
“He claimed to have confidence in the game, but he did not comment on many issues.”
“Perhaps he had no confidence in defeating Bradford.”
“At the Plyde Park Stadium, the Chinese coaches have little confidence in the face of a midfielder in the first division of the Premier League, and the relegation situation in Derbyshire can be imagined. It seems that Derbyshire fans should do the relegation of the team next season. ready.”
“This game is destined from the beginning …”
The game commentator Lyle Woodgate satirized with some disdain, “Derby County has been defending, has been defending, this is already the second half of the game, Derby County’s offense has not been able to, this problem appeared when Gregory coached Yes, but the Chinese do not seem to have changed their minds. He still keeps the team defensive. “
“In such a passive game, it is difficult for us to see any hope of victory in Derbyshire …”
The TV screen was switched to the Derby County coach seat, and Wan Sheng looked at the stadium with a serious face. The look seemed to be worrying about something.
……
Wansheng looked up at the scoreboard on the field.
There is showing the score of the two teams 0: 0, this is already the second half, and the game will be over in more than ten minutes, but the two teams have not yet scored.
Derby County passively defended the whole game.
At the beginning of the game, the fans at the scene were very enthusiastic to cheer for Derbyshire, but now many fans in the stands are drowsy and even booed with dissatisfaction.
Wansheng also frowned.
The game on the court was a bit unexpected, he frowned at the corner of his mouth.
Like fans, Wan Sheng is also very dissatisfied with the team’s performance, not because of defense. In fact, the team’s tactics are defensive counterattacks, but he saw the defense in the game, but the counterattacks were not good.
Not like this during training.
From the beginning of the game, he was watching carefully. The tactics were made by him, but when he arrived on the field, the team did not play well, and the defense was solid, but he was always forced to interrupt when he counterattacked. Reiter is fighting back alone, everyone else just looks the same.
Tactics are not like this.
But Reit rushed too far, and the others couldn’t keep up.
Leite’s speed is quite fast, but no matter how fast he can’t get away from the defensive player, there is no chance. He himself is too difficult to complete the goal.
Wan Sheng felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, and he fell into thought.
……
“It is now the 80th minute of the game. The score of the two teams is still 0: 0. Derby County has been defending at home. It seems that from the beginning of the game, Derby County has planned to keep the goal and never thought of attacking. Are they going to fight for a point at home? Judging from the score, they did a good job … “
Lyle-Woodgate’s words seem to be a compliment, but anyone who can hear it is ridiculous.
Relegation team, fighting at home, the opponent is not strong, only to fight for one point?
His irony is naked.
Many Derbyshire fans feel that the team is not doing well enough. They booed in the audience and expressed their dissatisfaction with the team’s performance. They had expected the team to attack like the last game. In the war, they did not expect such a result. Coupled with the media’s incitement, they were even more dissatisfied.
Many fans think that even if they are defensive, they need to win …
To win, they need to win.
It doesn’t matter if the game looks good or not. They care more about the team’s victory and relegation. They don’t want the team to only participate in the English Second Division next season.
But Wan Sheng was not affected at all, he was still thinking.
After the 80-minute game, he already knows why the team’s counterattacks are always bad. This is different from the team’s training. At that time, the main team’s opponents were not strong. They could calmly intercept the steals. Instead of worrying about the goal too much, you can face a real League One team or an opponent who is not under your own strength. They then use the same method to defend, and their energy naturally involves too much.
When counterattacks like this, the connection between the backcourt and the frontcourt is too bad.
Even if the football passes to Reiter ’s feet, it ’s difficult for him to complete the scoring task without anyone answering him. Although there is an Ian Taylor, the two are a bit less … he must add a fast speed, dribbling and coordination ability All are good offensive players, so as to connect the backcourt and the frontcourt, so that it is not weak to counterattack.
He turned to look at the bench and beckoned to Lee Morris.
Lee Morris’s strength is good, and he was also the team’s main midfielder, but his defensive ability is a bit poor, so Wan Sheng did not put him on the starting list.
Now he needs Morris to play.
“Lee, warm up.”
Morris went away. As an experienced player, he knew what it meant for Wan Sheng to let him play at this time, that is, let him try to help the team to attack and find opportunities to score goals.
Wansheng stood up and walked into the warm-up area.
After communicating with Morris, he returned to the coach seat and looked at the game solemnly, as if he was completely in no hurry.
……
The game is really only ten minutes away.
For many people, the next game seems to be meaningless. Bradford attacked the entire game without breaking the Derby County defense. Even the most discerning people must admit that Derby County ’s defense does Is very good.
But only defense.
Their scores are very passive, just defense, defense, it seems that this is an offensive and defensive exercise, the defending side has won, because the attacking side did not score goals.
But this is an official game.
The defensive side must also score a goal to win ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ For Derbyshire, who has a weak offense, they seem to have only two options, losing and drawing, without victory.
Lyle Woodgate can’t help but sarcastically, “Gregory’s leading score is average, but it can also make the game exciting, and this Chinese makes the game completely messed up. If I am a Derbyshire fan, I really There is no reason to see such a dull game with no hope of winning. “
Morris is now warmed up.
On the sidelines, Wansheng stood with him, waiting for the time to play. The two had little communication. What had been said. Wansheng knew that players like Morris didn’t need to talk too much to him.
Morris knew what to do.
At the same time, this is also a gamble. A few minutes of gambling. After more than an hour of observing the game, Wansheng believes in his judgment. The team is doing a good job in defense and all that is needed is a smooth counterattack.
The appearance of Morris can bring smoothness.
Then the opportunity will be created, and then it will depend on the play of the frontcourt players.
He believes in Morris, Reiter, and other players. Although this week’s efforts are more defensive, Wansheng has also done a lot of work in offensive defense.
If this time can be successful, then the next game will be much easier to play.
Wansheng stood there, watching the game on the court, noisy came from his ear and completely did not affect anything, his heart was very firm.
Derbyshire signaled a substitution.
An opportunity for a dead ball, Morris boarded the stadium.
