From the night to the next day, media from all walks of life in Derby County talked about what Wan Sheng said at the press conference, the focus was on the saying "Tottenham Hotspur has a chance to qualify for European competitions this season".

They were talking about this topic happily.

A head coach publicly praised his opponent is actually just a politeness, and there is nothing to say, but this sentence "Tottenham has the opportunity to compete for European competitions" is definitely a big loophole.

If Tottenham fans suddenly hear this sentence, they will feel it is a direct irony. Their performance is so poor that they are hovering around the relegation circle. When the schedule is halfway through, what else can they strive for? European competition qualifications?

It's simply nonsense!

Is this a satirizing Tottenham Hotspur’s poor results?

But the key is that the Chinese coach of Derby County said it "unintentionally". His expression and tone were known to him. He was politely praising his opponent. It's a pity that he "lacks understanding" about Tottenham Hotspur's situation.

This is really interesting.

It is extremely rare for a head coach to make such a big mistake when he evaluates his opponent he is about to face. It also shows that this young Chinese coach has no idea about Tottenhamvic's current situation, which means that he doesn't care about the FA Cup at all.

Derby County's hostile media and neutral media are more concerned about the previous topics, and they report the mistakes of Wansheng's words as jokes; Tottenham Hotspur's media are more concerned about the latter, and they just need to know that Derby County doesn't care about the FA Cup.

"A hilarious scene appeared at the Derby County Club press conference yesterday..."

"...Derby County head coach Wan Sheng, commenting on his upcoming opponent in the FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur, used this sentence, saying, 'Torttenham Hotspur has a chance to compete for the competition this season'..."

"Oh, by the way! That definitely does not mean getting qualifications from the Cup, but the league! League!"

"...This is really interesting. You should know that Tottenham Hotspur is currently ranked 15th in the league and has not completely left the relegation circle. Their head coaches left in October last year. Now acting coach David Pritt and youth director Alex Inglerthop are in charge of the team."

"The young Chinese are complimenting David Pritt and Alex Inglass' ability to extort!?"

"...but probably he knows who David Prit is...and he doesn't know what Alex Inglass looks like."

"It seems that he is talking about the previous results of Tottenham Hotspur, but Tottenham Hotspur this season is different. They have encountered a crisis. Obviously, this Chinese person has never cared about Tottenham Hotspur..."

"This means that Derby County doesn't care about the FA Cup, they're all focused on the league."

"This is understandable. After all, Derby County is currently the first in the league. Even in the traditional FA Cup, there is no important club to upgrade to the Premier League."

"But I don't care about the FA Cup so much, it's not like a professional club in England. Maybe we should remind him what the FA Cup means to the English club. This is the most valuable champion of professional teams in England."

"But it's obvious that it's a bit late to remind you now. He doesn't care about the FA Cup at all, nor does he care about the game against Tottenham Hotspur. It's estimated that this FA Cup will make Tottenham Hotspur match against Derby County at White Hart Lane Stadium, which will be meaningless."

"There will be no suspense in the victory...I think we can congratulate Tottenham on winning in advance."

“…”

On the side of the game training ground, Wan Sheng and Diamares were watching these reports.

Wan Sheng laughed non-stop, and Diamares asked from the side, "Wan Sheng. Is this really OK? Will Tottenham Hotspur be so stupid that he believes what you said?"

Wan Sheng looked at Diamares and shook his head, "I don't know either."

"Then do you still do this?" Diamares puzzled. "If they knew you said this on purpose, it might have a counterproductive effect, and it would anger them..."

"So what?"

"..." Diamares Mares was still puzzled.

Wansheng put the newspaper on the grass and said, "I'm not sure if it works, but it's the best to have an effect. Even if it doesn't work, we won't lose anything, right?"

"But..." Diamares was a little unaware of what to say.

"Anyway, we have to try it. If it works, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. Anyway, we are going to play with them at the White Hart Lane Stadium. Whether they believe it or they think I'm deliberately mocking their results and being angry. In any case, I have to do nothing and play head-on with them."

Diamares nodded in understanding. Indeed, no matter how you want, it is better than doing nothing.

He suddenly discovered a gap between himself and Wansheng.

If he encounters this situation, he probably can only let the team prepare for the game well. Even if he has similar ideas, he will hesitate. Then he will give up in the end if he feels that there will be no effect. If he wins, he will do it directly and will not hesitate at all.

This is the difference between him and Wansheng.

However, Diamares is now very relaxed. He has decided to be just an assistant coach. The stronger Wan Sheng's ability and the better the team's performance, the greater the reputation. At that time, his assistant coach will also benefit from it.

......

At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur Club, David Pritt and Alex Inglass, who are temporarily in charge of the team, are also watching the report.

After Hollier left, the two took charge of the team together, but there was a distinction between the top and the second. In terms of leading the team, David Pritt was the main decision-maker, and he had the final say in all decisions. Alex Inglesop was just leading the team with him, but his power was not as great as him. However, the two did not have such a division in public. Both of them were temporary coaches in positions.

But the previous cooperation between the two was pretty good, and Tottenham's performance in the league has increased significantly.

David Prit frowned and looked at the media's reports on Derbyshire and asked. "Alex, do you think these are true?"

Alex Inglesop shook his head, "I don't know if it's true, but I've seen this Chinese."

"Have you seen it?" David Plitt was a little puzzled.

"Last year I wanted to find an assistant coach of the youth team. He came to the club for an interview. It was so funny...a Chinese...hahaha..." Alex Inglesop said and laughed out loud.

David Prit frowned again, "But he is very successful now."

Alex Ingles pouted disdainfully and said, "Yes. Very successful. A Chinese man became the head coach of the League One team. Obviously he still led the team to play against us... But I don't believe that a Chinese man can have any skills in football. If he is a table tennis coach, maybe I would believe him. As for how he can become a League One coach? Who knows what's going on? I guess the president of Derby County is blind and he will find a young Chinese man in his twenties to be the head coach."

"But Derby County is now the No. 1 in the League One. They have a good result..." said David Plitt.

"The results are very good? First in the League One? Who knows how they achieved such results? Maybe it's up to luck?"

"Luck can't play first in the league..."

Alex Inglesop shook his head funny, "David, no matter what you think. Anyway, I don't believe that a Chinese can do anything in football..."

David Pritt curled his lips and stopped arguing with Alex Inglassop.

Alex Inglesop is very capable, but he always discriminates against non-English people. He even discriminates against Europeans to a certain extent, let alone Africans and Asians.

He had a completely 'Greater English' mentality, believing that the English were the most noble race in the world.

Because of this, Alex Inglesop can only become David Plitt's deputy. Because the entire Tottenham Hotspur club knows that he will definitely not be able to play the head coach well, and many players in the team are very resistant to him.

David Prit thought about it and turned the topic back, "Alex, do you think Derby County Club will really give up the FA Cup?"

Alex Inglesop smiled disdainfully, "It's certainly true. I don't believe that a Chinese man will take care of the FA Cup while leading the team to be promoted. He probably won't know what this event represents for English fans. He won't understand, so he will definitely give up the FA Cup. Look, he doesn't even know our current situation..."

After hearing this, David Plitz thought about it and nodded.

Excluding the words with the 'racial discrimination' color, Alex Inglesop actually makes sense. Derby County is striving to qualify for the league upgrade. It has a very good performance in the league. Maintaining the top position at the league is the most important thing for them. The FA Cup is not important. What's more, many foreign coaches do not pay attention to the FA Cup because it will not bring benefits to the club. They feel that there is no need to put in any effort on it, so it is normal for Derby County to give up the FA Cup.

But in the end, David Plitt shook his head, "Look at it again, it's too early to draw conclusions so easily."

Alex Inglesop shrugged, "You are always so cautious, but this time it's definitely a waste of effort."

......

Wan Sheng didn't know what happened at Tottenham Hotspur club, but he felt that if he wanted to release a successful smoke bomb, just saying a few words in front of the media would not be able to successfully deceive the opponent. What's more, the game will take two days to go on, and it would be bad if the team revealed any news.

So the next morning when the team gathered for training, Wan Sheng directly emphasized to the players - don't talk about the FA Cup in front of the media.

Many people laughed.

They all saw media reports last night. Those reports looked a bit incredible. Will the coach not understand the situation of Tottenham Hotspur? It is absolutely impossible! Because the coach was talking to them about Tottenham Hotspur before and about this game that requires hard work to win.

So that's just the coach cheating the media.

No one thought deeply about anything, but after hearing Wan Sheng's words, some smart players also realized something.

"Don't talk to media reporters about the FA Cup, talk more about our league with them! Tell them that we want to win the league championship! We will upgrade to the Premier League next season!"

"We can also look forward to the next season and we will return to the Premier League game, which is still very attractive."

Wan Sheng emphasized in particular.

After Wan Sheng told the players like this, everyone remembered that most players in the team believed in Wan Sheng. This lies in Wan Sheng's "hypocritical" affinity skills, and also in Wan Sheng's leadership performance and the improvements that the players feel during their daily training.

In short, Wansheng has a good control over the team.

So at noon and in the afternoon, when a reporter interviewed Derby County players, they heard a lot of topics about the current league, Derby County results and even next season.

"I believe we will win the league!"

"We have very good results at the moment. I hope the team can maintain good results. I will try my best to play in the game..."

"We will appear in the Premier League next season, I'm looking forward to it!"

"I haven't played in the Premier League yet!"

“…”

After hearing these words from Derby County players, you will definitely know that Derby County has confidence in the team's promotion to the Premier League and even the league championship. So various media have reported that Derby County is united and working together to strive for upgrading, and the FA Cup match with Tottenham Hotspur was weakened.

David Pritt has also been paying attention to Derby County news. When he saw many Derby County players talking about the league, he felt that there was no need to continue to pay attention. Alex Inglesops' view is correct. Derby County does not care about the FA Cup at all. They only care about the results of the League One, so there is nothing to worry about at all.

This game can be regarded as training.

Send a substitute lineup to let those players who rarely appear to experience it, so that the main players can have more rest time so that they can perform better in the league. This is the most correct choice.

David Plitz also breathed a long sigh.

During this period after Christmas, the schedule is really too dense. One league after another makes the atmosphere of the whole team very tense and depressing. Fortunately, this FA Cup match came in time, so the whole team can relax a little in the past few days. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
