Chapter 38: Experimenting with New Tactics(1/2)
Peschisolido's contract with Sheffield United has just expired. He is still a free agent. He is considering whether he will continue to renew his contract with Sheffield United or join another team.
In fact, Peskisolido is really not loyal to Sheffield United. He only played for two seasons at Sheffield United and was already thirty-one when he went there.
He chose Sheffield United at that time because Sheffield United was willing to give him a good contract at that time.
It's like he's going to change jobs now.
The contract period ended, and he naturally had no restrictions on him, but it was not easy to find another contract. Sheffield United was only willing to sign a half-year contract with him, and his salary level also decreased a little.
Peschisolido was naturally very dissatisfied.
So he asked his agent to find another company. His agent contacted many clubs, but there were no clubs that were really interested in Peschisolido. Most of them just asked. After all, Peschisolido is 33 years old and has a lot of experience, but his current physical fitness and condition are really not guaranteed. Those clubs that are excited to introduce Peschisolido are too low to offer, so it is better to stay at Sheffield United.
At this time, a phone call from Derbyshire told the agent that the Derbyshire club coach was very interested in Peski Solido. He asked to meet Peski Solido before considering whether he wanted to sign Peski Solido.
The agent agreed immediately.
The next day, Peschisolido came to Derby County and sat in Wansheng's office with his agent. Wansheng was instructing training at the training ground. He didn't ask Diamares to supervise the training until the staff notified him, and he rushed back to the office.
When he walked into the office, Pescisolido and his agent stood in front of the window and looked at the training ground outside, which was facing the first team training ground. It was a very good viewing point.
Wan Sheng smiled and knocked on the door.
Peschisolido and the others hurried back to the sofa, their faces a little awkward, and it would be impolite to walk around casually in someone else's office.
Wan Sheng didn't care.
In fact, he felt quite interesting in his heart, which reminded him of the scene when he came to Derby County for an interview. At that time, he was much more embarrassed than Peskisoli. He also had an agent. The player was the one who applied for the job, and he was alone. He was dressed in a very embarrassed manner.
However, the essence of the two is the same, both are ‘interview’.
In this regard, Peskisolido was a bit miserable, but in fact, most players who are not well-known in the low-level league must take this step when they want to find a new contract when they are old, which is like a young player trying out. However, the veteran must have the skills and experience, and the key lies in physical fitness and condition.
Wan Sheng saw Peschisolido for the first time and knew that Peschisolido had generally decided.
Because he saw the potential value of Peschisolido - 80. A pretty good value.
At Peskisolido's age, his potential and real strength are basically the same. The potential value is 80, which means his real strength. The overall evaluation is also close to 80, which is a data evaluation similar to Ian Taylor.
In other words, the current Peskisolido has a gap in overall strength with Ian Taylor. But it is not much different.
However, the necessary "face project" still needs to be done.
Wan Sheng sat back in his seat, looked at Peschisolido, and said with a smile on his face. "Can I call you Peschi?"
"Of course...sir." Peskisolido replied.
Peschisolido kept looking at Wan Sheng. In fact, he was quite curious about Wan Sheng. The Derby coach in front of him was too young. He must be much younger than him. Even if he was prepared, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw this "temperate" head coach "interviewing" him.
Wan Sheng didn't care. Many people knew that he was Derby County coach. The first expression was like this. He was a little used to it. He said bluntly, "Peski, Derby County Club can provide you with a contract of more than one year, and it is the same salary as you now, but the premise is that I need to check your status in the training ground."
"Okay." Peskisolido nodded in understanding, looked at the agent, and asked directly, "Mr. Coach, when will we start?"
"Just now!"
Wan Sheng stood up as he said, he was not a slow person. Since he decided to sign Peschisolido, he had to join the team as soon as possible, so that he could adapt to the team earlier. It would be beneficial to get older.
I called a staff member and took Peschisolido to the locker room to change his jersey. Then Wan Sheng and Peschisolido's agent walked to the training ground together. Along the way, the agent told Wan Sheng how brave Peschisolido's condition was.
"He is thirty-three years old, but I always feel that he is only 23 years old!"
"Ten years have passed, time passes so quickly!"
"The only thing that has not changed is Pesky's state. You should know that he has been a professional player for longer than he has grown up. If others accept it, I would like to say, Pesky Solido, he is a gift from God! I believe he can play until he is 40!"
"Have you ever seen a player who can play forty years old in the professional arena? I'm not talking about the damn goalkeepers, their careers are long!"
“Peschisolido is a frontcourt player…”
The agent kept nagging along the way, and Wan Sheng just kept nodding. On the surface, he was a qualified listener, but in fact, he was probably not very correct in his mind that choosing Peskisolido was because he would deal with this agent in the future.
Like this guy said, "This is really a punishment from God."
Finally Peschisolido came to the training ground. Wan Sheng walked up to signal everyone to pause, and then asked the team to play a small-scale confrontation to observe Peschisolido's performance.
He mainly looked at Peschisolido's skills.
In terms of physical fitness and condition, he has a football training master system that can help Peschisolido maintain it. Even if the veteran's physical fitness is a bit insufficient, it is nothing. After all, he is just looking for a substitute. Instead of an absolute main force, his skills cannot make up for it.
Technology contains too much content.
Many abilities can be attributed to technology. To improve in this aspect, young players are somewhat complicated and difficult, not to mention the older Peschisoli, which is almost impossible to achieve.
Wan Sheng is looking for a substitute who can replace Morris, and his skills naturally have to pass the level. As for whether he can integrate well into the team's tactical system, Wan Sheng is actually not considered in this regard. Peschisolido is already 33 years old. He has too rich experience and must have undergone various tactical training. It is not a problem for such an old player to integrate into the team.
Just like Ian Taylor, he rarely makes similar mistakes like "running mistakes" in tactical training. For such veterans, as long as they know the general framework of tacticals, they can know what to do. Their experience tells them a lot. Of course, the premise is that they have enough strength to adapt to the tactics.
In short, what Wansheng looks at is the overall technology.
During the entire small confrontation, Wan Sheng kept observing Peschisolido's performance, but what Peschisolido showed surprised him - he was rough in defense and arrogant. He performed very well. He also showed off two extraordinary people and accelerated for more than 40 meters to rush into the opponent's penalty area... This physical fitness is really good.
The defense is also very good, and he even does better than Fedinnan. In contrast, Peschisolido's defensive advantage is that he is more accurate and decisive. When he has the opportunity to use his body to complete the defense, he stepped forward without hesitation to compete with his opponent for body.
In other words, his ability to confront is also good.
Wan Sheng’s favorite skills... I can only say that he has passed, not too good or bad.
But Wan Sheng is already satisfied with this level.
After the decision was made, Wan Sheng told Wilcox to prepare a new contract for Peskisolido, and the next job had nothing to do with him, but he asked him to report as soon as possible. He hoped that Peskisolido would come to the team to report within three days.
Wilcox was very efficient and it took only one day to get it all done.
In fact, this is just that both parties have finalized a free transfer contract. Peschisolido's requirements are not high, and Derbyshire Club does not need to prepare anything. Prepare a contract, both parties are satisfied, and then sign together. The whole process is like this. Derbyshire paid a signing fee of only a pitiful 5,000 pounds. Even so, Peschisolido and his agent are quite satisfied. After all, he has been looking for the next company for a summer and can sign a one-year contract before the transfer window is closed, and there is a symbolic signing fee. This is really good.
After Pescisolido officially joined the team, the Derby County Club did not hold a special signing ceremony for him.
Peschisolido doesn't need such superficial work. He just hopes to join the team as soon as possible and get to know new teammates and train with the team as soon as possible. He also wants to win more opportunities for the next year. Derby County Club is also happy, which saves a lot of trouble.
Wan Sheng was also very satisfied, so that he could especially "take care" on the media that supported him. He immediately announced the news in the msn group.
So the media led by Derbyshire Life was happy because they got news that their competitors didn't know yet.
The fans who bought the news newspaper the next day soon discovered that there was no latest news about Derby County in the Derby County Sports News. The above remarks were the same as those a few days ago. They were nothing more than worrying about the team's tactics being cracked by the other party and the team's performance this season.
Most Derbyshire fans don't take this set at all!
Although what they seem to say makes sense, it is realistic that Derby County's current performance is good. Instead of worrying about anything, it is better to expect any good results for the team.
They have reason to pray to God that the team can maintain this performance until the end of the season, so that Derby County will be enough to upgrade to the Premier League... As for what you are worried about, let it go to these media.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is that some fans found the latest news in the Derby County Life - the team signed former Sheffield United player Peski Solido.
The report content is basically about the introduction of Peski Solido and a message sent by Wan Sheng in the msn group, "I am very optimistic about Peski, and he will be an important member of the team."
This news became a report.
"Derby County coach Mr. Wan Sheng said that Peskisolido is very strong, and he is capable of playing for Derby County, competing for the new season with the team, and making his own contribution to the team's competition for the league championship..."
If the future readers of Chinese online novels see this news and think of Wan Sheng's original words, they will definitely sigh that it is not a patent for Chinese online literature, and the British media are also very good at this.
In short, the Derbyshire Life reported the news a day in advance, while the Derbyshire Sports reporter found out that the team signed Peskisolido after reading the Derbyshire Life.
They even know it with the fans.
The result is self-evident. The scattered sales of Derbyshire Sports News this day have decreased a lot, which may have some impact on their future newspaper sales.
...
On August 30, the fifth round of the League One was ushered in, and Derby County challenged Cardiff City away.
This is a team of promoted teams in the League One.
Last season, they also ranked sixth in the English League Two. In the first leg of the playoffs, they defeated Bristol Cheng 1-0 and defeated Queens Park Rangers in the Millennium Stadium final, and were able to upgrade to the League One with the first place in the playoffs.
As a newly promoted player who relies on the playoffs, Cardiff City performed well in the first four rounds of the league, with one win, two draws and one loss, and five points in four rounds, making them ranked 13th in the league standings.
Of course, public opinion is more concerned about Derby County's performance.
Derby County is the focus of the topic of the League One. One is the topic that the Daily Mirror provoked, which has led to Derby County attracting attention from various media. They have a young coach in their twenties, which is also an important reason for their attractiveness. The second is that Derby County's performance in the first four rounds was eye-catching. Three wins and one draw, and four rounds are unbeaten. Such a result is extremely attractive for Derby County, which is unknown.
There is no surprise in Derby County's lineup. It's basically the same main team.
However, Derby County's condition during the game is worrying.
Especially Frank Ribery on the right.
Ribery's sharp breakthrough is definitely very attractive to fans, but every pass after a breakthrough is rarely successful. Such a result is a waste of opportunities in the eyes of many people.
Ribery's performance made many people unable to understand.
Ribery also played in the previous four rounds of the league, but his performance was pretty average and not too outstanding, but it was not bad at all. Everyone thought Ribery was a very qualified player, and the media also recognized him, but they did not expect Ribery to play like this in this game.
The repeated breakthroughs and repeated pass failures also led to his breakthrough not helping the team.
At the same time, this also caused Derby County to waste a lot of opportunities throughout the game, and the Cardiff City goal seemed very stable.
The most surprising thing is that the head coach of Derby County, the young Chinese, just watched the game like this, had no intention of replacing Ribery who was in poor condition, and had a completely laissez-faire attitude towards him.
Perhaps this attitude is why Ribery still tries again and again.
"Ah! It's Frank Ribery again. He played well with this pass, but the other teammates didn't keep up. His speed was a bit too fast! He should be slower... He couldn't ask everyone to cooperate with his speed..." The live commentator said.
