Chapter 139 Crazy March
After the match against Rotherham, Wan Sheng didn't say much, but some media still shut up because they had nothing to say about the game. Derby County won was so beautiful, which made them feel a little in a position to start.
Faced with such a massacre-like victory, do they still say that Derby County is not performing well?
That's not what they thought.
Derby County is the first in the league. After a normal league game, they always have something to say, for example, if they concede the ball, they criticize Derby County's defense line, for example, if they score few goals, they criticize Derby County for being conservative, or the front line is unfavorable, and if there is controversy in the game, they must support Rotherham... But none of these are the ones. Derby County won the big victory cleanly and did not concede and scored six goals. What else can they say?
Could it be said that Derby County should show mercy?
Those things are completely a joke!
However, there are still some media who specifically pick the mistakes for Wan Sheng. If you want to pick the mistakes, you can always pick the bones in the eggs. What's more, they target Wan Sheng himself, so all kinds of remarks about Wan Sheng being bad, arrogant, and being arrogant in one game... and wait for the remarks to be released. This is no different from what was reported before the game, but there is an example - that is, Wan Sheng's performance at the press conference before and after the game.
They can only say that these are irrelevant.
The fans are watching the game. As long as the game wins, isn’t it normal for the winner to say something? Even before the game, Wan Sheng said, ‘Rotherham can’t stop Derby County’, which is really happening. Rotherham really has no way to stop Derby County. Just look at the number of goals they have lost.
In short, there are always negative comments about Wansheng in the media.
Logically speaking, if there are so many negative comments in the media, it will naturally affect the performance of the entire Derby County team. After all, everyone has to read the news and see that the team is always criticized. There will definitely be a downturn. Even if as the head coach, Wan Sheng does not have, ordinary players will also have it, so the media's offensive will still affect the performance of Derby County.
But this is only theoretically...
In fact, many Derby County players are immune to media comments. They have been performing well since the beginning, but there have been negative comments in the media. They just treat these as jokes. When they meet, they will say something, "What did the xxx media say today?"
"Did they criticize you?"
"I'll definitely criticize the boss again! Haha..."
"Today xxx media said some fresh words. Everyone came to see, they said..." After the explanation was finished, everyone laughed.
During this period, media reports have also been regarded as jokes by the players. The difference is that jokes have become more. Their hearts have long been polished into rocks by previous media reports, and they will not be affected by some reports targeting clubs or head coaches.
In fact, the media reports are only aimed at Wan Sheng, and sometimes also at Derby County clubs. Derby County players are generally well received, especially the English players among them. The English media has always been generous with reporting on their own players. If you read the reports from the English media, many people will feel that Peschi Solido scored more goals than Cahill, and Ivan Crew's performance is definitely much better than Frank Ribery... This is because the latter two are not English players, and the English media will tell them the truth about their performance, while the first two are English players. Of course, they have to say that one goal is said to be a world-class goal, even if Peschi Solido is 33 years old.
Therefore, it is really difficult for the outside world to influence Derby County. But even so, no one expected that Derby County would explode in the intensive schedule at the end of March.
At the end of March, it is a dense area in the League One schedule.
Four league games in ten days and four games. Such intensive schedules will make any team's scalp tingling. This is a difficult time for many teams. The media is also waiting for the arrival of this period. They don't believe that Derby County can pass through smoothly. You know, that is, four league games in ten days... Even if Derby County performs well, it will lose the last game, right?
It is already quite amazing to win three games in four games.
But as long as Derby County loses one game, their chance will come. They can seize the loss and make a big fuss. Some reporters have even prepared the manuscript and are waiting for Derby County to lose and send it out.
The media that were just looking forward to Derby County's loss were all disappointed.
......
On March 17, Derby County played against Watford at home. This game was almost the same as the previous match against Rotherham. The only difference was that Derby County scored six goals and only four Watford.
But this difference is no more.
Two games, ten goals were scored, and not one goal was conceded. Such performance was eye-catching, but Derby County had no intention of celebrating because the schedule was too intensive.
Just two days later, they challenged Nottingham Forest away and participated in the second East Midlands Derby this season. The East Midlands Derby is still a bit hot. The competition between Derby County Club and Nottingham Forest Club is also continuing. Although the fans of both sides are not as conflicted as other large derbys in England, they are not much better as mortal enemies. Especially after Derby County's performance has become very good, Nottingham Forest fans feel a little unbalanced. They hope that Hart can lead the team to defeat Derby County at home.
It’s a pity that the gap in strength between the two sides is on the surface.
3:1, this is the final score.
Nottingham Forest fought all his strength at the doorstep, but he only scored a goal. The only thing worth mentioning is that the game was still very fierce. The two teams showed the unique strong confrontation between the Derby game, and the atmosphere on the court was also very hot. As a result, two people were injured in Nottingham Forest, and one person in Derby County was injured. It was Ottoman, the "Superman who can't run" who was tackled to the ground by the opponent's player in the 65th minute of the game, was carried off the court by a stretcher.
After the game, Wan Sheng immediately went to the hospital to visit Ottoman. The good news was that Ottoman's injury was not serious and he only needed to rest for a month to re-enter the game. This was also bad news, because the next May was the end of the season. Ottoman might have to wait until next season if he wanted to make a comeback.
Wan Sheng still felt helpless, but he knew he had to accept it. The fact that players would be injured in the game, especially in the Derby battle, it is normal to fight fiercely. Derby County's injuries this season are quite good. Although there are occasionally players injured, there is no strong wave of injury. When it comes to the Premier League, the confrontation will be even more intense. After Christmas, the teams with difficult situations even need to use youth team players to make up for the lack of the lineup... At least that situation has not occurred in Derby County.
On March 24, Derby County moved to South Yorkshire. He challenged Sheffield United away at Bramo Lane Stadium, and Derby County won 5:1.
Although it was a big win, it was a pity to lose a goal. It was a loophole in the midfield defense, which allowed Sheffield United to find an offensive opportunity. This shows that the impact of Ottoman not playing on Derby County. Fedinnan performed well, but his personal ability was a little worse than Ottoman after all, physical fitness, speed, and explosion were still much different from Ottoman. The only thing is that he has rich experience, but in many cases on the court, experience cannot represent everything. Direct battles on the front are very important. With Ottoman Derby County, the midfield is as stable as Mount Tai, and even in offensive tactics, the defense of the full press can be achieved to the extreme. Fedinnan played on the court, increasing the intensity of the backcourt, but at the same time, the defense performance of the full press was also worse.
But the media did not use this to make a big fuss. In fact, these profound questions, that is, the head coach like Wan Sheng, who has a very detailed understanding of the team's players and tactics, can know that others cannot see it at all. In the eyes of outsiders, it is normal for Sheffield United to score one goal in one game. Didn't Derby County score five?
What's there to say about this...
Soon three days later, Derby County welcomed Sunderland again at Pride Stadium. Sunderland is a strong team. They are currently ranked fourth in the league, only behind West Bromwich. Their overall strength is still very strong and their performance is quite good.
However, Derby County still had a very advantage at home, and the two teams finally reached 2:1. With Cahill's header in the second half and Leiden Bynes' long shot in front of the penalty area, Derby County still won the final victory.
This is also the last league game in March.
The match against Sunderland ended, and the League One in March was also about to come to an end. After the game, the media was surprised to find that Derby County won all the matches in March.
At this time, the media criticizing Derby County had long stopped talking. Some football 'professionals' who like to comment after the Derby County game could only sigh, "Derby County has swept the League One."
It is worth mentioning that after the game, Manchester Sports also talked about Derby County, claiming that "if England has the 'Coach of the Month' selection like other leagues, the current team Derby County, who currently coaches the English League One team, should win this award."
There are many reasons.
Derby County won all the matches in March, and most of them were big wins. Derby County was one of the most watched teams in England. Regardless of the reason, they did have been paying attention and a lot of attention. Derby County scored 28 goals in March and conceded only 3 goals.
This result made the media that wanted to say bad things about Wansheng... almost cry.
After thinking about it, they couldn't find a reason to criticize Wan Sheng. The main reason was that Derby County's performance was too gorgeous. If such performance was criticized, then it was estimated that all teams in England should be criticized.
They have nothing to say.
When Derby County won so many victories, the previous noisy reports disappeared without a trace overnight. Instead, they rarely paid attention to Derby County media, such as Manchester Sports, The Guardian and Sky Sports TV in the UK, talked about some Derby County. As a neutral media, they praised Derby County and Wansheng. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
