West Bromwich fans are looking forward to Derby County full-back Frank Ribery making more mistakes, so that he will waste attacking opportunities for Derby County, which will be beneficial to West Bromwich. In addition, they will have reason to laugh at this guy at that time.

They thought it was very good, but at the beginning of the game, West Bromwich was in trouble first.

Three minutes into the game, West Bromwich attacked two consecutive times, and was intercepted just after crossing the center line.

The first time was West Bromwich's normal advancement. Derby County's formation retreated a lot. Facing Derby County's close defensive formation, West Bromwich adopted a slowly pushing strategy and slowly looked for opportunities on the outside. As a result, midfielder Thomas Gardso made a mistake in a front pass and the football was easily snatched by Derby County.

The second time was a fast break after stealing in the backcourt.

West Bromwich defended intensively in the backcourt to block Derby's cross, and then they pressed forward to take the opportunity to attack quickly. Unfortunately, the football was just passed to the center line and was robbed back by Derby's counterattack. The attack ended here, and they had to face Derby's counterattack.

After two attacks in three minutes, West Bromwich failed to really make it to the Derby County half, which made West Bromwich fans feel a little silent. Their active atmosphere dropped a lot for a while, because in the three minutes of the opening game, Derby County was basically attacking, and their goal was threatened.

That was after West Bromwich's counterattack was suspended.

The football reached the wing, and Ribery took the ball and broke forward directly. After reaching the left corner of the penalty area, he suddenly slowed down and found an empty space and passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area line. Cahill, who followed, won the ball and shot directly. The shooting was quite powerful, but unfortunately he hit a little bit and flew out of the baseline against the post. Even so, it was enough to panic West Bromvic and their supporters.

West Bromwich fans have a little forgotten the name ‘Ribery’.

They originally wanted to laugh at Ribery, but judging from the current situation of the team, they really couldn't find a reason to convince themselves to laugh at Ribery. Even if they only thought about Derby County's first attack, Ribery failed to cross, but he also brought the ball to the bottom line that time and almost passed it out. West Bromwich has not even passed the half yet, let alone. Looking at the game from a normal perspective, from the beginning of the game to now, the Frenchman has performed not badly. He has made two personal breakthroughs and has not been blocked. Only one of the four-foot passes failed, and another threatening ball was passed, which caused West Bromwich's goal to face crisis.

Just three minutes into the game, what else can you ask for too much for a full-back?

So West Bromwich fans felt much silent.

......

On the coach's seat.

Wan Sheng nodded with satisfaction at the game.

What he hopes to see is this effect. He uses the mid-line squeezing defense to prevent the opponent from attacking, and then uses the stability of the defense to give the team more offensive opportunities than the opponent. This is the effect he wants, and the players on the court are doing well now.

At the same time, he was also very satisfied with Ribery's performance.

Three minutes, two dribblings, four touches. Only one breakthrough was made and the bottom line was snatched. Nothing else made a mistake and even created a threatening ball. This performance can be said to be quite good, which is what he has always hoped to see.

Ribery always performs poorly when exerting her personal abilities. In fact, it is not entirely because other people's abilities cannot keep up with his pace. Another important point is that Ribery cannot grasp the degree of passing and personal performance. He doesn't know what circumstances it is better to choose to dribble the ball or to pass the ball directly.

But Wansheng couldn't teach him in this regard.

Wan Sheng has never been a professional player. He is a head coach. He is only responsible for roughly planning tactics for the team, and the players follow the tactics. In specific circumstances, whether to choose to pass or break forward, players need to make choices based on their own abilities.

If you pass the ball more securely, then choose to pass the ball. If you want to break through ahead, then choose to break through.

In short, this requires players to control it themselves.

Judging from Ribery's performance now, it is obvious that he has made progress in this regard. Wan Sheng nodded with satisfaction. He likes to win and also likes to see his players attacking, which means that the team's strength has improved.

At the same time, journalists in the media also discussed the game. They did not want to see Derby County have the advantage. Most of these reporters hoped that Derby County would lose, so they were all worried about the situation on the court, as if they were all loyal fans of West Bromwich.

"Si Bromwich seems to be a little out of shape!"

"They seem to be suppressed."

“The competition has just begun…”

"That's right! The game has just begun, we need to have confidence in McGonsen, and West Bromwich is just a little uncomfortable with this stadium!"

This argument was unanimously agreed by reporters.

They don't believe that West Bromwich is not as good as Derby County. It's just that they are suppressed at the beginning. After all, it's Pride Stadium and Derby County's home court. It's normal that West Bromwich will take some time to adapt to it.

This is the so-called ‘home court advantage’!

Despite all the thoughts, they still had a little concern on their faces, they were worried about West Bromwich's goal.

Even if they didn't admit it, they knew in their hearts that Derby's offensive ability was still certain. This could be seen from the fact that they had always scored goals in previous games. If the game continued like this, West Bromwich would likely be scored first, and then wait for them to adapt, and they could only face a situation of falling behind. That would definitely be unfavorable to West Bromwich, so they were worried about West Bromwich.

As the reporters in the media table thought, Derby County had a great advantage next, and they launched an offensive around West Bromwich. The waves of attacks made West Bromwich quite overwhelmed, and their goal also encountered crises again and again.

......

On the field.

Derby County demonstrates its offensive ability!

West Bromwich is trying hard to show her defensive ability, but judging from the busy state of West Bromwich goalkeeper, their defense is not very good.

At the same time, many people were surprised to find that the most eye-catching performance on the court was not the offensive players of Derby County or West Bromwich's defensive players, but the Derby County midfielder Leon Ottoman.

In just ten minutes, Ottoman completed three steals!

At the beginning of the game, when Ottoman completed the steal, no one paid attention to him. After all, midfielders, especially defensive midfielders, can actually be classified as "blue-collar workers on the court". They do the dirtiest and tiring work, but it is difficult to attract attention based on their performance.

But with West Bromwich's two counterattacks suspended at Ottoman's feet, many people have noticed the young midfielders who Derby County has loaned from Everton this summer.

The live commentator Alfie was the first person to mention the name of Ottoman. When Ottoman completed the steal for the first time, the game had just begun, so Ottoman was a little ignored, but as he grabbed the ball twice in a row, Alfi also shouted in surprise, "It's Ottoman again! Beautiful!"

Fans who heard Alfie's shouting also began to pay attention to Ottoman.

Actually, there is no need to pay attention to it.

As the game progressed, Ottoman had become the most active person on the court, especially when West Bromwich got the ball, he was always running, accelerating, decelerating, accelerating, and then slowing down. This is what Ottoman did the most.

Run, keep running.

It is hard to notice when you glance at the stadium, but after watching the game for so long, you can clearly notice it, "This guy seems to have never stopped..."

Whenever West Bromwich got the ball, Ottoman started running non-stop. After other players were flashed, they would stop and breathe a sigh of relief. But Ottoman was different. After he flashed by the opponent with a pass, he immediately went to chase the player who was receiving the ball, and then continued and continued!

Never stop...

It was not until the football returned to Derby County that Ottoman would stop and take a breath. Only at this time did those fans who were paying attention to Ottoman relax their nervous nerves and sighed in their hearts, "It turns out that this guy will be tired too!"

But Ottoman will soon follow the pace and join the attack with his teammates. When West Bromwich takes the ball to attack, he will resume this continuous running process again.

Many people were surprised by the Ottoman's physical fitness.

Most people will definitely not be able to hold on with this kind of continuous running, but Ottoman persisted, and he looked very relaxed and didn't look tired at all.

"This guy is in such a good health!" Some reporters in the media table sighed.

Fans and reporters all think this way, let alone West Bromwich players on the court. They feel that their offense is hindered now, and the biggest reason is that the opponent, the guy who has been running!

They have always relied on short passes to attack with infiltration, but the opponent's defense near the center line is very dense, so their passes must be very accurate. However, the opponent also has such a guy running around pressing. Every time they hit the ball to the center line, they must be careful not to get this guy around. When he runs over, they can only pass the ball to his teammates, but he immediately follows his teammates... They found that this guy was entangled, and it was really not easy for them to get the ball firmly near the center line.

Most of their offenses were suspended in the midfield!

Whenever the offense hits this position, they will feel a headache, so they try to directly play far passes and transfer the ball to the two sides. However, Derby County has a very dense defense. If you want to receive a long pass, you have to compete with Derby County players. They have no advantage in this regard, and many offenses are also suspended in this way.

In short, they are in trouble in the offense! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
