Hawthorn Field.↗

Players from West Bromwich and Derby County teams have trotted from the passage into the court, with coaches and substitutes following behind. As the players come on the court, cheers in the stands have risen a lot.

The referee arranged for the captains of the two teams to guess the coins and pick the sides.

The coaches of the two teams, McGerson and Wan Sheng, walked to the player channel in a tacit understanding to shake hands before the game, but they stood opposite each other and had no intention of reaching out.

Soon the media discovered this interesting scene, and several cameras immediately turned their perspective from the stadium and pointed at the two head coaches.

Both of them were standing and looking at each other. Wansheng had a smile on his face and MacGerson also had a smile on his face. Both of them seemed to be very friendly, but neither of them reached out and spoke first.

Not long after, the two of them glared at each other almost tacitly, shook their hands and turned around and walked back to their respective coaching seats.

Belco Kleisman, who was responsible for commenting on this game, commented quips, "It seems that the relationship between the two head coaches is very unfriendly. They don't even mean to shake hands with each other. This is really rare before the game..."

"However, when the first half of the schedule was met, the two teams had conflicts with each other. Last time West Bromwich lost the game. Before the game, many West Bromwich media clamored to win back. Wan Sheng was distracted by several main players and excluded them from the roster. McGonson believed that this was a contempt for West Bromwich, but perhaps Wan Sheng just wanted to rotate the team. After all, they still had to deal with the FA Cup game, and West Bromwich had lost the FA Cup."

"But anyway, we can also know that the relationship between the two head coaches is very bad, which may make the game more interesting..."

Wan Sheng didn't know how the commentator evaluated him. He actually wanted to wait for McGerson to extend his hand, but it turned out that the other party thought so, so the two of them became stalemate.

Then, it ended in a bad mood.

It doesn't matter. It's just a polite handshake. Wan Sheng didn't care at all. He and McGson really had no personal friendship. On the court, the two were completely opposite.

Wan Sheng sat on the stadium, holding his hands in his arms and looking at the stadium seriously.

The match between the two teams has officially begun.

Wan Sheng did not have absolute confidence in defeating West Bromvic in this game, but he still had some confidence in the semi-substitute lineup of the team on the court, which came from daily training and data in the football training master system.

On weekdays, he cares about those outstanding players. For example, Morris, Cahill, etc., their personal attribute data are very gorgeous. Wan Sheng can even memorize the attribute evaluations of these absolute main players.

But for ordinary players like Peter Kennedy, Wan Sheng cares less about it on weekdays.

This is because of their strength.

Whether it is a coach or a fan, he will definitely care more about the team's outstanding players, which is understandable. But before the game, Wan Sheng carefully studied the football training master system, he found that he underestimated the team's substitute players.

Perhaps some substitutes are indeed not capable, but players like Peter Kennedy have been in Derby County since last season and have been working hard to train until now have improved their strength. Compared with last season, their data has increased very significantly. It can almost be said that they have improved in all aspects of their abilities, which means that their strength has also improved a lot. They are not comparable to last season. It is precisely because of this that they can perform so well in training matches.

Among them, Peter Kennedy, Weberson and Russi were particularly outstanding.

Wan Sheng began to consider Peter Kennedy, just to let him be Morris' substitute. Peter Kennedy was not bad at the original strength and had a lot of experience in the game. The only problem was that he didn't have much room for improvement. After all, he was over 27 years old.

But after a long period of training, Peter Kennedy's ability has also improved a little. His original strength is not much worse than Morris. With these improvements, he has surpassed Morris, and even some of his ability evaluations are higher than Morris, such as defense, physical confrontation, etc. In short, Peter Kennedy cannot be underestimated now. With his current strength, he is enough to serve as the main force in the midfield and backcourt.

Weberson is a player with a very fast growth in his specialties. His specialties are speed. After so many hours of training, his speed is only a little worse than Reit. More importantly, Weberson did not focus on speed training, that is to say, his speed potential is higher than Reit. This is inferred. After Wan Sheng checked the football training master, Weberson's potential for various personal attributes, he also affirmed this.

However, Weberson and Reit are definitely two types of players. Reit is a high center forward. Even if he is fast, he actually feels very bulky when he takes the ball. Weberson is a small player. He plays professional football with his skills under his feet. The speed increase is of great help to his performance.

Lu Xi is different from the two. He is a young and diligent player. His potential is average. He has been training for nearly 9 months, which has allowed all his personal attributes to grow slightly. In other words, his strength has already grown in all aspects. Although there is no outstanding point, it is enough to make him perform well on the field.

The other substitutes are not as obvious as the three-man improvement, but under the mission system of the football training master, they have improved their abilities somewhat. They are originally professional players who can play in the First League, but now their abilities have been improved. Naturally, their strength is stronger enough to perform well in the game.

These personal data are also the source of Wansheng's confidence.

He wants to see how this half-substitute lineup can perform at Hawthorn Stadium.

......

However, Wan Sheng himself knew the strength of Derby County's half-substitute lineup on the court, so others didn't know it.

For example, reporters in the media seats.

The reporters actually don’t pay much attention to the game. Even if it is the first and third in the league, Derby County has been too strong recently. Even if West Bromwich is in the away game, it will not be easy to defeat Derby County.

But now it's different, Derby County has sent a half-substitute.

Whether Derby County despises West Bromwich or they have to prepare for the FA Cup. Anyway, they do so, that is, West Bromwich's chances of winning have increased a lot.

If they can't beat Derby County, which is half-substitute, then their third position in the league will be very humid... Many reporters think so, so they look forward to West Bromwich's quick goals and defeat Derby County head-on at home - even Derby County, which is half-substitute!

As long as you can defeat Derbyshire, you can do anything!

West Bromwich fans and media reporters think very similarly. They also think that the team's victory is the most important thing. West Bromwich was still in the Premier League last season and was relegated to the First League in the summer. This season, their fans think that the most important thing for the team is to return to the Super League.

Then league points are very important.

Whether Derby County despises West Bromwich or they just rotate the lineup to deal with other games, in short, they send a substitute to play, so West Bromwich has a greater chance of winning.

This is the most important thing.

So when the game started, more than 20,000 West Bromwich fans in the stands of Hawthorn Stadium were shouting loudly for the team, hoping that the team could score quickly and lay the foundation for the victory of the game. In this way, they would feel at ease.

But this was not the case in the game on the court, and Derby County did not show any downturn.

However, the game on the court is not controlled by Derby County's hostile media, and West Bromwich's will... The will of Derby County players are more important, which is directly related to the performance of Derby County and also to the situation of the game.

In the opening stage, West Bromwich achieved some suppression, but Derby County soon won the situation back, and in terms of offense, Derby County and West Bromwich played an equally good match.

Everyone in the audience saw this.

The West Bromwich players on the court felt more obvious. In the locker room before the game, McGerson told them that Derby County would send a substitute to the field. They were a little angry because, as McGerson said, this was Derby County's contempt for them.

While annoyed, they also wanted to give Derbyshire some colors to show!

But now they found that the opponent was not that easy to defeat, and it was not easy for them to fight back. The important thing is that the performance of this Derby County half-substitute lineup is really good, at least they did not find out where the opponent was considered a "substitute" at the beginning.

In terms of tactical play, this Derby County seems more mature than when the two teams were playing in the first half schedule. Obviously, their adaptation and use of offensive tactics have made great progress; in terms of personal ability, they find it difficult to gain any advantage with the so-called "substitutes" of these Derby County.

This made West Bromwich players feel confused - is the team's strength equivalent to the opponent's semi-substitute lineup?

They have a hard time accepting it.

......

The reporters in the media table also watched the game, and they were also quite surprised that Derby County, which had a semi-substitute lineup, actually played a equal share with West Bromwich?

How is this possible...

They all looked at it in surprise, not knowing what to say.

West Bromwich coach McGerson watched the game and was a little unacceptable. He originally thought it would be a relaxing game. At his home court, the opponent sent a substitute lineup, and the strength of the two teams was actually not much different... Of course, the last point, the game on the court proved that it was not like this.

But how is that possible?

Many outstanding players in Derby County have not played! Their substitute lineup is all a group of players who cannot play in the League One. How can such a team not lose the edge against West Bromwich in the away game?

McGerson felt it was hard to accept.

On the other hand, Wan Sheng, who also sat on the coach's seat, felt full of confidence. He knew that this substitute lineup was not bad, but he really didn't have much confidence in what he had to perform.

But now seeing the game on the court, his confidence has also increased a lot.

This is accumulating strength!

These substitute players don’t play many times, but they actually have a lot of experience in the game. They just have fewer appearances after coaching the team. Coupled with the long-term training, the increased strength of each player has reflected in the current game, which is definitely accumulating strength!

Now he can say with certainty that even the team's substitute lineup is enough to deal with the ordinary League One.

However, when playing against teams like West Bromwich, especially at their home court, the substitute lineup is still very unsafe. He cannot be sure of the specific outcome of the game, as it depends on the performance of the players on the court.

Wansheng only hopes that the team can perform better as much as possible.

Derby County loses the game, but it is naturally good to win. Winning one more game is always much better than losing one more game!
