Chapter 22 Shock
Players sweat on the court and work hard to perform better in the game. In their efforts, they can always stand out from it and become a big star that attracts attention, but more people have been unknown and have been in the blue-collar class of the court all their lives.
As a coach, Wansheng wants to develop stars.
But it is not easy for him to interfere in the training of players. The first team always needs to conduct tactical training, and most of the training must be done according to Gregory's requirements, and he does not have much room for intervention.
Fortunately, although the work has not improved as expected, the life of the club is not bad. The difference between the coach's work and the work of ordinary people is that the surroundings are always full of vitality and sports.
The team continues to experience games one by one, and passes the page of Derbyshire Sports News -
Round 23 of the League One.
Round 24 of the League One.
...
Round 33 of the League One.
Round 34 of the League One.
The latest version - "In the 35th round of the League One, Derby County will welcome Preston at home. The last time the two teams met, Preston defeated Derby County 2:1 at home..."
"Preston is currently ranked tenth in the League One, while Derby County is only fifth from the bottom of the league..."
“This is a must-win match for Derby County.”
"Gregory said that the game will be very difficult, but the team is united and they are confident of scoring three-pointers at home..."
"But the team has many problems at the moment. The only good news is that the team's injury problems have been greatly improved. Someone at the Derby County Club revealed that this is the credit of the new young assistant coach Wan Sheng..."
...
Wan Sheng closed the newspaper and sighed in his heart that time had passed.
Three months have passed.
In the past three months, his work in Derby County has been smooth, and he has more and more players under his command. Except for a few individual players, everyone else has been on his roster.
In the world of football training masters, his coaching level has also been upgraded to lv.3.
The coach level is upgraded to level three, and a new skill is to get a "fast breakthrough" - "In the game, when your team is in a counterattack state, the speed of all players will increase by 5%. This is an "offensive" skill.
Wan Sheng originally planned to choose another training skill, but after hesitation, he also wanted to see what the effects of offensive and defensive skills were, so he chose offense with a try attitude.
As a result, this skill appeared.
If he is the team's head coach, this may be a good skill. It is equivalent to a "group halo" that has a 5% effect, but it is quite good to cover all players if it covers all players.
But he is just an assistant coach, and this skill is a useless trick for him.
In the Derby County Club, his work was quite smooth, but in fact there was no question of whether it was going well or not. He was just an assistant coach, and his job was to help the team train. Many people asked him to recover from his injuries, perhaps he was in good condition, and the only one who asked him to train, was Rhett.
Reit believed him.
Rett also improved a lot in three months. Wan Sheng suggested Gregory to give him another chance more than once, but unfortunately the latter did not listen to his advice at all.
Until now, Reit has never received any chance to play.
Wan Sheng could only smile bitterly at this.
Although Gregory's relationship with him has improved a lot, he still has no room for any sockets in the team's game, and any of his suggestions will be ignored by Gregory.
When he saw the team's performance getting worse and worse, and he was about to fall into the relegation circle, he was even a little gloating.
But that has nothing to do with him.
However, half a month ago, Diamares took a month off, and there were only two coaches in the first team, Gregory and Wan Sheng, so Wan Sheng also had the opportunity to play with the team.
It was the last league game, Derby County challenged Crystal Palace away.
This is not a good memory.
Wan Sheng was looking forward to it. This was his first time playing with the team, but Gregory didn't let him intervene in anything. He made arrangements before the game, tactics, substitution adjustments in the game, etc. Everything had nothing to do with him. His only job was to lead the team to warm up before the game...
In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Derby County 4:0.
After running around for a while, doing nothing, returning to Derby County with four holes, this journey of the game was meaningless to Wan Sheng.
He suddenly felt that it was also good to be a leisurely assistant coach on the team.
It’s a pity that Diamares has taken a leave of absence. He must lead the team to participate in the game with Gregory, that is, he has to face the upcoming next round of league games - Derbyshire vs. Preston.
Wansheng’s only job is to lead the team to warm up.
This job is quite simple and easy, especially this is a home game, which is located at Pride Park Stadium. Wan Sheng doesn't have to do anything at all, just stand on the sidelines and watch the players train.
It can't be simpler.
He even has time to walk around the stadium and browse the landscape inside the stadium.
Lead the team when the stadium is empty, and lead the team away after the fans have almost completed their entry. There is no more leisurely work than this. After returning to the locker room, Wan Sheng became the most idle person. He doesn't need to care about the state of each player or how to play the game.
He only looked at it, and could only smile bitterly in his heart.
How much he wants to participate in the game, which is necessary for a coach to grow, but the stubborn Gregory doesn't give him any chance at all, just as his participation in the game will cause Gregory a lot of trouble, or the right to leave Gregory.
Wansheng prefers the latter.
Gregory... This guy has an extreme paranoid about controlling the team, and he has also discussed this issue with Diamares in private.
Diamares is also a coach of Derby County Club. In fact, he is the same as Wansheng, and he is only a little older than Wansheng and has been with Gregory a little longer.
That's all.
"Don't think I'm going to lead the team with him (Gregory) all day long. In fact, I don't have to do anything." Diamares said this.
Now he fully understood.
After Wan Sheng sighed in his heart, he still wanted to play with the team like a ‘ultrasound’ and sit on the bench with Gregory. The two of them were on the bench and did not discuss a single topic about the game, as if this was not directing the game.
Then, the game began.
What Gregory asked the team to play was Wan Sheng and Diamares often complained with the so-called "offensive and defensive balance" tactics that were criticized by many local media.
He believes that the team's offensive players are average and the defensive players are average, so they should pay attention to balance offense and defense in order to play the role of the team.
This tactic may have its advantages, but the current team definitely has not played out, otherwise Derby County's performance would not be so bad that it would fall into the relegation circle. However, the stubborn Gregory would not obey other people's advice. When the players performed poorly on the field, he stood on the sidelines and shouted.
That nervous and angry look really won the hearts of many Derby County fans.
They think the team's performance is not good now, but after all, Gregory is attentive. They should believe that this coach with rich experience may improve the team's performance next season?
Some fans think so.
But when they saw Preston use a wave of offensive advancement, directly breaking through the Derby County defense, and then successfully pass the ball into the penalty area. When the opponent's forward grabbed the first point and scored the ball into the goal, all the trust was thrown out.
This is the home court!
The competition has just begun!
Gregory said before the game, "The team is confident of winning" and so on, but what's going on now? The team lost the goal in just a few minutes?
Boos even sounded in the audience's stands.
Everyone knows that Derby County fans boo the Derby County team, and what they boo the performance of their own team. They are very dissatisfied with the score and are very dissatisfied with the team's performance.
Gregory was under a lot of pressure, too.
He shouted at the players on the court on the court that every player who made a mistake would be greeted with irritation from him that he had no idea how much foaming he had, but this might make the team's performance worse.
As a result, when the game reached the 30th minute, Preston scored another goal using a corner kick opportunity.
Seeing the football flew into his own gate, Wan Sheng couldn't help but close his eyes. Although the team played like this and had nothing to do with him, he was also a member of Derby County after all, and he couldn't bear to watch the team fail step by step.
Just then, someone next to him exclaimed.
Wan Sheng opened his eyes in confusion and saw Gregory, who was standing on the sidelines, roaring with his teeth and claws, slumped down, covering his heart.
Chapter completed!
