Chapter 146 Victory is in sight

Morris helped Derby equalize the score. After scoring the goal, Morris waved and ran to the fan stands in a lap. He shouted under the Derby fan stands and made a hug gesture. The stands also responded to a bigger cheer. ※%

Morris is really excited!

Since Wan Sheng coached the team, he has been valued as the team's midfield core, and he is absolutely the main force, and has not changed yet. However, this season, he has been overshadowed by the light of Cahill and Ribery. Although no one can shake the team's main position, he is still very unwilling and has been working hard to perform well.

Now is the most popular game of the season - the FA Cup semi-finals!

The team prepared a lot in this semi-final, and he also hoped that he could score goals in the game to prove something.

He did it!

The importance of this goal is undoubtedly. If the team can win the final victory, his goal will definitely be the most critical, because it is the goal to equalize the score.

Wan Sheng nodded with satisfaction with Morris' performance.

In fact, in Wan Sheng's opinion, Cahill, Ribery and Morris are all the absolute main players of the team, but there are actually differences. For example, Morris and Ribery are the players who attack. It is precisely because of their hard work that the team can suppress their opponents. On the contrary, Cahill's position can be replaced. This is considered from a tactical perspective. After all, there are many forwards who can score goals.

However, in the eyes of the outside world, Cahill is obviously stronger than the other two, because he scored more goals and his light was more dazzling.

This is the difference between professionalism and amateurism.

What amateurs value is performance and whether they can attract the attention of fans. They don’t care who creates opportunities, but only those who seize opportunities. It is precisely because of this that the value of those strikers who perform well will rise rapidly, but such players often fall faster. When they appear in unfit teams and inappropriate tactical systems, they will not perform well, and they will be labeled as a parallel to the media, which is like stepping from heaven to hell.

There are many players who have experienced this kind of experience, such as Michael Irving, an English Golden Boy who is about to leave Liverpool to go to Real Madrid. He will not be able to adapt to the atmosphere of La Liga and the team cannot play as a main player to affect the state, and it will be difficult for him to perform well even when he plays. For example, Shepchenko, who goes from AC Milan to Chelsea in the future, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead is at its peak recently, but after going to Chelsea, he soon became a substitute. He did not perform any more until he left.

In the past, it would be a big problem for players who are not used to the team. On the contrary, players like Morris and Ribery cooperate with the team to create opportunities. Such players will not perform poorly no matter where they go.

After Morris helped the team finish the goal, Millwall fans were quite disappointed. They had thought that the team would always lead, but they were tied so quickly that they began to worry about the situation.

Many journalists in the media table were also quite disappointed.

They also hoped that Millwall would create a miracle to defeat Derby County. As a result, Derby County recovered the score soon... No, Millwall still has a chance, some media reporters thought comfortingly.

But soon they were even more disappointed...

Morris' goal allowed Derby County to equalize the score, and the two teams were back on the same starting line. Derby County players also relaxed a lot.

On the contrary, Millwall's side was very disappointed. In fact, their goal was very sudden. They themselves did not expect the team to take the lead so quickly, and Derby County's goal was a bit natural. Derby County had the advantage on the field. The midfield kept creating opportunities for the frontcourt. With more opportunities, the chances of scoring naturally became greater, and it was normal to score a goal.

It is precisely because of the contrast between the two teams' goals that Millwall became a little suspicious for a moment - can we really defeat Derby County and create a miracle?

After the game started, they still had this mentality, and their performance was a bit bad. The first wave of offense failed to reach the Derby County penalty area and it was declared over. After that, Derby County launched a counterattack. Ribery quickly dribbled the ball from the side and passed it out of the gap to find an opportunity for the players behind him. Cahill seized the opportunity and shot hard to help Derby County overtake the score.

Just two minutes later, when the football flew into Millwall's goal again, Millwall felt that the world was collapsed...

How far is heaven and hell?

If you ask Millwall fans now, they can immediately answer: "Two minutes away..."

In just two minutes, Derby County went from equalizing the score to overtaking the score. Perhaps in such a short time, Millwall just took a nap and was fed two consecutive goals.

Especially the last goal was Cahill... Cahill, Millwall fans are very familiar with Cahill. Since 1997, Cahill has played for Millwall at a young age. It was not until last season that Millwall sold Cahill to Derby County.

Then Cahill broke out!

He seemed to have found the peak of his life. In the league, the FA Cup kept scoring goals and goals. In the six seasons of playing for Millwall, Cahill scored a total of 44 goals. So far this season, Cahill has scored 35 goals, of which 29 goals were in the League One alone. Why did this Australian, who was not in this state when he was in Millwall, burst out with strength when he arrived in Derby County?

Millwall fans don't understand.

The only thing they know is that if Cahill could have such efficiency in Millwall, even if he was injured before the summer, the team would never consider selling him.

The result is that Cahill now plays against his old club Millwall in such an important game, helping Derby County score a goal that overtakes the score.

Millwall fans are quite disappointed...

The reporters in the media table were also very disappointed. They just thought that Millwall had a chance, but when they saw this ball, they suddenly realized that they were really overthinking. Perhaps, just as the Chinese said before the game, in the face of the absolute gap in strength, no matter how high the fighting spirit is, it is nothing, and a miracle is impossible.

Cahill didn't have so many ideas, and he was very happy after scoring the goal. However, he did not celebrate and performed very indifferently because this was a goal against Millwall. He had been playing for Millwall before. He had been very emotional for six years. When facing Millwall fans, Cahill also had a familiar and intimate feeling, so he would not celebrate when he scored Millwall's goal.

Other Derby County players also knew about the things between Cahill and Millwall, so they just clapped each other and expressed their joy for the goal. It seemed like a goal was nothing to them.

Wan Sheng stood up from the coach's seat and slapped twice for the goal like an ordinary fan.

That's all.

The whole team of Derby County looks like it is saying, "Just scored a goal, just overtake the score. We don't care at all, it's nothing..."

This feeling made Millwall even more depressed.

Millwall's leader Wise was also on the court, and his own feeling was that they seemed to be in a quagmire. He just wanted to organize the team's offense, but once the offense hit the midfield, they had to face the opponent's endless presses. This pressing made them busy, and they didn't have the kind of player with excellent foot skills, so they played very chaotic and the football was quickly robbed back.

Such a situation really makes Wise have no way to do anything.

He suddenly thought of what the opponent's Chinese coach said before the game, "In the face of absolute strength, miracles cannot happen." He remembered not that clearly, but this is basically what it means.

Looking at the current situation, he suddenly made sure this sentence makes sense... In front of Derby County, it is not easy for Millwall to attack for half the game. How can he create a miracle like this?

Wise hurriedly shook his head.

He knew that he should never think about this in the game, especially as the team leader, the team's interim coach, or the commander on the court. No matter who has the heart to give up, he must not give up, especially in the first half of the game, and there is still a lot of time.

So he began to remind everyone to defend well.

If Derby County scores a goal and is two goals behind, the team wants to equalize the score, which is really a miracle. So defense is the most important thing. As long as you can defend well, the gap in one goal is not the end of the day, and they still have a chance in the second half.

So Wise directed the team to defend well.

But defense cannot be done by a team with just one effort, but also depends on the performance of the opponent. The opponent's performance is average, and it may be able to defend well. But if the opponent performs very well, it will be extremely difficult to defend the goal just by relying on defense.

This is the situation now. Derby County is in very good shape and they are very good at attacking. It is not easy for Millwall to passively defend the goal.

Wise's hard work to direct the defense was of some effect, but that's all. Derby County attacked for a while and failed to seize several opportunities. As a result, it had been 40 minutes after the first half. However, when the game reached the 43rd minute of the first half, Derby County broke the Millwall goal again.

"Ivan Kru!!" The live commentator shouted out the name of the goal player.

This is Ivan Krue's direct free kick hanging goal!

When Derby County got the free kick opportunity about 23 meters in front of the goal, Millwall probably didn't expect it to be transformed into a goal. The players of the League One team generally have limited skills and few players are very good at free kicks. However, they have conducted some research on Derby County before the game and also know that the opponent's player Ivan Krue scored several direct free kicks in the league, so they still attach great importance to defense.

But they didn't expect that Ivan Cru had scored the ball. It was a high arc ball. The football went around the wall and fell directly to the upper left corner of the goal. The angle was quite tricky. Although Millwall goalkeeper Marshall judged the angle correctly, he saved it slowly and finally could only watch the football fall into the goal.

3:1!

In the last time of the first half, Ivan Krew helped Derby County expand its lead!

On the coach's seat.

When Wan Sheng saw Ivan Kru's goal, he stood up and walked to the sidelines, slapped his hands to celebrate.

His expression was still very indifferent, as if the goal was taken for granted, but he was very happy in his heart because he knew that with the advantage of two goals, the game could basically guarantee victory.

Now, Wan Sheng can say with certainty that it is only a matter of time before Derby County enters the FA Cup final. (To be continued, please search for Piao Tianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
