At the pre-match press conference, a group of reporters were waiting for Wan Sheng to arrive.↖

The reporters were very upset at the press conference at Pride Stadium because the Chinese wanted to implement an ‘independence’ and the Derby County Club required the press conference to be formalized. In fact, it blocked their right to interview freely. They had no good idea. After all, it was indeed the territory of the Chinese, and he had the right to do so.

But now it's different. This is Portman Road Stadium, Ipswich's home court. His statement that "we are the first in the league" is useless.

The reporters thought about the next questioning and refuting remarks, and they wished that the Chinese person on the scene would appear in front of them and they could refute them at will. That must be a very interesting scene.

I don’t know how much time has passed, and just when the reporters can’t wait, Wan Sheng finally arrived at the press conference.

As soon as he sat down, the press officer signaled the start of the interview and then went directly to the free interview time.

Reporter should not hold back their breath, and give Wan Sheng some color. One reporter immediately stood up and asked a question, "Will the team lose to Ipswich in the last home game?"

Media reporters are just trying to make a fuss about Derby County’s loss!

They discussed this issue for a long time before the game. They just wanted to know some of the "insider" news about Derby County. Although those reports are just following the crowd, more reports will make some people feel that it is real. Maybe what are the problems inside Derby County?

The reporters all looked at Wansheng with a keen look.

Wan Sheng looked back with some confusion and asked, "We are the first in the league? I'm so sorry. If we lose the last game, we are still the first in the league. What adverse effects will this have?"

"Oh! Maybe some." Wan Sheng suddenly realized, "This reminds our players that our first place in the league is very stable. So we can handle all the games easily!"

“I’m really grateful for the reminder of this failure to our players, which gave our players a better mindset.”

The reporter who asked the question immediately gritted his teeth.

The same is true for other media reporters in the audience. They didn’t expect that this Chinese would still answer with ‘We are the first in the league’. Isn’t this a replica of the last interview?

Soon a reporter stood up unwillingly and asked, "Can you talk about this game? In the last game, you lost to Ipswich at home. Are you ready to continue losing in this game? You know, the game venue has become Portman Road Stadium, which is even more unfavorable to Derby County."

This question is very sharp.

The reporters in the audience were all waiting for Wan Sheng to answer with interest.

Wan Sheng looked at the reporter like an idiot, "Don't you hear what I just said? Well, since you didn't understand, I will repeat it again. The last game lost to Ipswich reminded our players that our first position in the league is very stable, and everyone's mentality will become better. What's the use of a better mentality? Naturally, we can perform better in this game, because we are the first in the league, and we have enough confidence to face all the games!"

Speaking of this, Wan Sheng stood up suddenly, "By the way, you reminded me that I should explain this news to my players and analyze it thoroughly. Let them all know that our first place in the league is very stable so that they can perform better in the game." As he said that, he patted his forehead in annoyance and said to himself, "How did I forget this? This is beneficial to the game. We are the teams chasing the championship and must deal with every game with a good attitude!"

After saying that, Wan Sheng left the press conference directly. Only a bunch of reporters were left looking at each other and gritted their teeth randomly.

They have only now discovered that the statement "we are the first in the league" is really "universal" that can be used in a variety of ways. No matter how you answer it, it is impossible to refute it. The most important thing is that this is the basis of fact. Derby County is indeed the first in the league, and the first in the league is indeed very strong, and then the questions they prepared become useless.

But...even if you are the first in the league, you don’t need to emphasize it repeatedly!

Too proud!

Too frivolous!

Too arrogant!

Most reporters were criticizing Wan Sheng wildly, discussing how they would report and how they would expose the true face of the Chinese, etc.

Of course, the premise is that Derby County loses.

If Derby County wins, there is no need to say anything. I guess no one will support them after they report it. The winners are always privileged.

"They will definitely lose!"

Many reporters kept mumbling in their hearts, so Ipswich was filled with more expectations.

...

At the same time, Wan Sheng was standing in the locker room, watching the players surrounding him.

No one spoke, no one whispered, no one did their own things, everyone looked here seriously.

Wansheng is still satisfied with the attitude of the players.

This was definitely not the case when he first took over the team. When he spoke, even when he analyzed tactics, there were always people who were abandoning, but now this situation is rarely seen, which proves that he has a high control over the team.

He was very satisfied with this control.

Increase control over the team and all players will listen to themselves unconditionally, so that they can start to strengthen the team step by step, and the team will become a whole, and the strength they can exert will be stronger.

Now they have to show their strength and face this game that must be won!

"Guys! I've said a lot about how to play the game, I think you all should know!"

"I'll just say one thing."

Everyone looked over carefully, and Wan Sheng said, "I went to the press conference just now. I saw that those reporters seemed to want us to lose, that was their attitude. Do you know why? Because we are the first in the league!"

"Don't look at those junk reports on weekdays, the reason why they always report negative news about us is because our results are so good. This is the main reason. If our results are poor, just like last season, there will not be many media interested in us. Now we are the first in the league, so they stand up and hope that we will lose and that they will have big news to report on our losses."

"I don't think you will let them succeed, right?"

After Wan Sheng said that, he stared at everyone carefully.

The players all shouted, "Of course! We won't let them succeed!"

"We will win the game!"

"Let them die! We will keep winning!"

“…”

Looking at the players' spirits, Wan Sheng smiled with satisfaction, and pressed his hands down, "That's good! We will definitely not let them succeed! We will win this game!"

He pointed out the door and said, "Now, let them see how we won!"

...

Portman Road Stadium.

Derby County and Ipswich were on both sides of the court, and they were all standing in place. With the referee's whistle, the whole game began.

Like the last game, Derby County pressed towards Ipswich just as soon as the game started.

Derby County's tactics seem to have not changed much, and Ipswich is the same. They are preparing to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Derby County's offensive tactics. When the media and fans saw this scene, they thought of the last game. They all knew what the key to the victory or defeat of the game was - as long as Ipswich can defend the goal, Derby County will not want to win.

It's not difficult to them.

Ipswich defended for ninety minutes in the last game. Derbyshire really didn't have many ways to stick to Ipswich. Although they were attacking, they really threatened the goal in a pitiful few times.

Now when they come to Portman Road Stadium, Derby County will only perform worse and will never perform better, so it will only be more difficult for them to break through the Ipswich goal. Thinking of this, the media reporters are more at ease.

Ipswich coach Zu Lair also has the same view as media reporters.

In the last game, the tactics he used were the same as the previous game, which were both a counterattack of solid defense. This is because in his tactics, defense accounts for a lot of proportion. In comparison, counterattack accounts for one tenth. In his tactics, solid defense is the most important thing, which can ensure that Ipswich wins at least one draw. Two games, one win and one draw can be accepted by two games.

Zu Lair is planning to hold on to the draw.

As for victory or something, it’s best to have it, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t. It depends on the players’ performance on the court.

Under the guidance of this kind of game idea, it is easy to imagine what Ipswich will play on the court... Almost all of their players are defending, it looks like a bus parked in front of the goal, but this defense does make their goal very stable, at least it seems.

Zu Lair was doing a good job sitting on the coaching seat.

He was not worried about the game, he thought everything was under control.

As the game time gradually passed, Derby County had been attacking but no goals were scored, so he sat more steadily, with a smile on his face that made people know that he was full of confidence in the game.

"Zu Lair is full of confidence!" said the commentator of the Portman Road Stadium, who looked at the big screen and smiled. "He is not worried about the game at all. We can see that Ipswich's defense is also very stable!"

Indeed, Derby County has not posed much threat to Ipswich's goal until now.

But as time goes by, Zu Lair's performance has changed.

His smile disappeared, but instead he frowned.

It wasn't that Derby County had a threat on the court, but that he suddenly realized something was wrong, that the game on the court was a little different from the previous game.

He felt a difference.

But he didn't know what the specific difference was...

"What's wrong?" Zu Lair said to himself with a frown. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
