Chapter 151: Focus Characters

The 2003-2004 season league is equivalent to the end of Derby County. Even if it is only mid-April and there are still four rounds of leagues that have not started, Derby County has won the league championship, and the remaining four rounds of leagues are no longer important. Even if they lose all four games, they will still be the league champions.

So for Derbyshire, they can relax and celebrate.

Derby County is the first in the league, and the second in the league is also concluded. Norwich continues to win, and now he has 9 more league points than West Bromwich, who is third. With only 4 rounds left in the league, Norwich will almost certainly be the second in the league. In other words, two teams will be selected for the Premier League next season, one is Derby County and the other is Norwich. The last place will be determined by the upgrade playoffs after the season.

That is the real cruel battle!

From the third to the sixth in the league, four teams fought one-on-one home and away in two rounds, and the winners competed to decide the last upgrade place. The upgrade play-offs in each season are very cruel. Some teams even though the league has performed well and won the third place in the league, they may not necessarily win other low-ranking opponents in the cruel upgrade play-offs. Only the final winner can win the last upgrade place.

However, at the end of the second division, teams ranked above the 10th in the league were all striving for the opportunity to participate in the upgrade play-offs. After all, there is always much better chance of upgrading than not. For them, the truly cruel schedule has just begun.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Derbyshire.

In terms of the league, Derby County is already celebrating the championship. Even if fans have expectations, they are looking forward to the top league trip next season. The League One has nothing to do with them.

But surely, Derby County's season is not over yet, because they still have a very important game to play. That's the FA Cup - the final against Manchester United in a month at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium.

This game is the FA Cup final, and the winner can win the FA Cup this season. The FA Cup is of great significance to every club in England. Every team hopes to win this championship trophy that is more meaningful than the top league championship in the eyes of fans, and the same is true for Derby County.

However, in the eyes of Derbyshire fans, the team's season seems to be over. They are celebrating once, once the championship is celebrated, and after two celebrations, all they have left is emptiness...at least that's what they think now. Moreover, Derbyshire took three days off after winning the championship, and it seemed like he didn't care about the FA Cup finals.

No one was dissatisfied with this, as if it were taken for granted, as Derby County's FA Cup final opponent was Manchester United.

Even when Derby County had the best performance in the past ten years, it was hard to say that it could defeat Manchester United in the Cup. Manchester United is the overlord of the Premier League. What's more, Derby County has just been promoted to the Premier League. It's not summer yet and has not replenished its strength. In fact, they are just an English League One team.

A League One team reached the FA Cup final... Be content!

This season, Derby County's results were quite perfect - successfully upgraded to the Premier League, won the League One championship and qualified for the UEFA Cup next season. What else is there to be dissatisfied with this? They got all of them, and they won the ones who shouldn't have gotten them, and they won the ones who shouldn't have gotten them.

It's really perfect.

Derby County fans are already very satisfied. Even if some fans think of the team's FA Cup final, they just shake their heads secretly.

Derby County beat Manchester United to win the FA Cup?

This is not practical no matter how you think about it.

But in the real situation, has Wan Sheng given up on the FA Cup final? No. It is impossible! Wan Sheng always thought that the team won the championship earlier, with the purpose of having more time to prepare for the FA Cup final. If you win the championship, you naturally don’t have to pay attention to the league, so they can focus on preparing for the game.

What if you can win the championship game, even if your opponent is Manchester United?

No matter what, you have to do your best!

If you win, you will win a championship trophy and a FA Cup glory; if you lose, you will not lose anything at all. It is a fool who can easily give up such a game.

What's more, the opponent is Manchester United!

Mike Guinness, who can remember the face of that old guy Ferguson. If he led Derby County to easily defeat Ferguson, then the next time the two met, he would feel that he would definitely be lowered... bowing to that old guy Ferguson? Wan Sheng could not bear it even if he thought about it.

So, even for the sake of face, he will definitely let the team fight for victory in this game, not to mention the temptation of the championship... Champion, what a wonderful word, what a tempting thing.

Wan Sheng felt that he had traveled here inexplicably to win more championships.

......

With Derby County's reputation as winning the championship four rounds ahead of schedule, all England are reporting on Derby County at this time. Even though many media are concerned about the top league, the summer transfer market that is about to open and the transfer news of stars of various giant teams, they must also report on Derby County, because Derby County's results are too dazzling in the League One.

114 points were scored in 42 rounds of the league, and this point has created a new history. What's more, they still have four rounds of leagues. When many teams started their sprint at the end of the season, Derby County had already won the league championship. This is a clear comparison. (Note: Before the 1960s, the English League was all 2-point system, and before the 1990s, there were not so many teams in the second division, so in fact, this point history is enough to trace back to the creation of the Premier League 10 years ago, and its value and significance are not high.)

So at this moment, most media reported on Derbyshire.

Especially for their head coach Wan Sheng, they reported it extensively. This is because of Wan Sheng's own attention - he is a Chinese, only 27 years old, and he is a pure academic coach. Academic coaches in England are very rare, and these aspects are very worthy of reporting. The second is that Wan Sheng was a topical figure in England before, but he was just the focus of "criticism" by various media. Many fans were impressed by him. Now he has led Derby County to win the league championship, so he naturally has to conduct some reports so that fans will pay attention to the news.

But many fans who don’t understand the situation are surprised.

Some time ago, various media reported on the young Chinese coaches in Derby County, but their words were completely criticized and sarcastic, but now they have become praises for Derby County's achievements. The change in this sentence is really too fast.

But the media is helpless at this point.

Many of them reported that Wan Sheng was a little forced, but who asked the little princess of the Murdoch family to issue orders? Those reports also brought them some negative comments, but recently the little princess seemed to ignore this matter, so they naturally returned to their original reports.

But the media that do not belong to Murdoch News Group don't care. They use a lot of content to describe Derby County's coach Wan Sheng this season, which makes Wan Sheng the focus of all England in mid-April. He even reports more times than Arsenal coach Wenger, who is likely to win the league title this season, has appeared in the media.

The Independent praised Wan Sheng as the focus of England in April. Their comments were, "Just when everyone's attention was on the upcoming summer transfer, Wan Sheng, a young man from the mysterious Chinese, led Derby County to win the League One championship four rounds ahead of schedule. With his unique temperament, controversial personality and perfect team-leading results, he became the focus of England in April."

At the end of the article, they also compared it like the finishing touch, "Wan Sheng, the number of times this name has appeared in the media is twice as high as British Prime Minister Blair, 20% higher than Arsenal coach Wenger, and 50% higher than Manchester United coach Ferguson. When it comes to Beckham, who is in Spain, it may have to multiply several times to catch up with him..."

This is just an interesting talk, but it also shows that Wan Sheng is so popular. Countless reporters want to interview Wan Sheng. Wan Sheng’s agent, friend, and contract partner Kevin Tagore was invited by a lot of interviews from TV stations and big media, but Kevin Tagore all helped Wan Sheng reject it because Wan Sheng did not want to show up in front of the media, and perhaps because Wan Sheng was really busy at this time.

He was bored in the room to check the football training master system...

Wan Sheng worked hard for a season, and it was time to gain. The three tasks given by the football training master system, the game winning streak achievement task, were submitted during ten rounds of winning streaks, but there were still two tasks left, which were completed after winning the league championship.

Open the football training master system, and the system message interface has been refreshed.

"Wan Sheng, you have completed your personal mission 'New Season Journey', and you will get a reward of 3,000 points in experience, get the opportunity to upgrade one skill to max perfect skill, and get two skill upgrade points."

"Wansheng, your experience has reached 5,000, and you can be promoted to coach lv.8."

"Wan Sheng, you have completed the personal mission ‘Personal Honor Mission’, obtained 500 experience points, and officially activated the honor skills."

"Wan Sheng, congratulations to the team you led for winning the league championship, you won the skill halo 'League Championship', and the second-tier league championship points are 25."

"The union member Marcus's reverence value evaluation of you has reached 100, and the member level has been upgraded to the elder level and begins to enjoy the privileges of elder level members!"
