Chapter 165 The Great Derbyshire
For Derbyshire players on the court, there is no choice now. The only thing they do is to compete with Manchester United.∽↗
Before the game begins, every player in Derby County has thought about what may happen in the game. Being behind is naturally one of them, and it is a very likely one.
Although they swept the League One this season, compared with Manchester United, this result is really nothing. Everyone thought that the team would fall behind, and that it was difficult to tie the situation when it fell behind in the end. At that time, they felt that the team would have no hope. Once the game was delayed to the end, they would face failure.
But when this situation really came, Derby County players found that this was not the case.
None of them thinks about "the team has no hope". Instead, everyone is working as much as possible to make the team play better. Even without Marcus' reminder, they believe that they will work hard at this time.
......
Lee Morris is the core of the midfield, and he has never had any special pursuits.
Since he came to Derby County, he quickly became the absolute main force of the team with his strong strength. However, Derby County's performance has always been average. He is in English football and even said that he is not very famous in League One.
But no one can deny Morris's strength. His abilities are very comprehensive. When Gregory coached, he was the core of the team. Until Wan Sheng coached, Morris' position has basically not changed in the past two years. There are only two people in the team who can do this, and the other is captain Marcus.
But Morris is really willing to be dull and has no pursuit?
No, he loves football deeply.
Morris understands his persistence in football. Even if he doesn't care about life, whether he becomes famous, or even whether his contract salary meets his abilities, he doesn't care about many things, but he also hopes to play better in his heart. He can fight with stronger teams and stand on a bigger stage.
Now, the team is standing on the big stage.
FA Cup final!
This stage was something Derby County dared not think about before, but they did it and competed for the FA Cup championship with Manchester United. Morris has been suppressing his emotions. In anyone's eyes, his face is always plain and his face is "indifferent", but in fact he is still very excited.
The team has been upgraded this season. They will be able to return to the Premier League next season, and they are no longer an ordinary upgraded team. Because they have a head coach like Wan Sheng, Morris trusts Wan Sheng extremely, because Wan Sheng's leadership is very good and the training is very effective. He believes that under Wan Sheng's leadership, Derby County will achieve better and better results, and this game on the big stage must also seize the opportunity to play as well.
Now they are behind, but so what? There is still time for the game and they may still be able to recover it.
Choosing to give up at the last time? That's the stupid thing!
What he has to do now is to try his best to help the team equalize the score. Otherwise, he will definitely regret it very much!
Morris has a firm belief and is even more fierce on the court.
The player Manchester United faces him is Roy Keane. Speaking of which, the two are players with opposite abilities. Roy Keane is comprehensive, but he focuses more on defense, while Morris focuses more on offense.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it is difficult to compare the two together. Roy Keane is Manchester United captain, Morris? Who knows which corner he is... But at this moment, Roy Keane feels that this Derby County player who is against him is not inferior to himself at all. The opponent's defense is very tangled during the offense. When defending, the opponent even deceived him directly, and he was also difficult to limit the opponent's passes.
Is this really just a player in the League One?
......
On the side, Frank Ribery was also working hard.
Ribery's dream has always been to become a big star. Although his journey of success is difficult, he is not as dazzling as those geniuses who became famous at a young age. However, Ribery believes in his legs and believes that he will become a real big star one day.
This season, Ribery was very successful.
This is not just what the media says, but the fans think, and the same is true for him. In a year, he has improved a lot under the guidance of Wan Sheng and his performance in the league is also very stable. However, he also knows one thing--it is not enough to become a big star, and he must also perform better on the big stage.
Now is the opportunity.
The FA Cup final, such an attractive name, standing on this bigger stage is the best opportunity to prove yourself. Ribery doesn't want to lose here. This is the most meaningful game he has ever participated in after becoming a professional player. He wants to win, he wants to let the world see his performance-he wants to succeed!
There was no expression on his face, and the scar on his left cheek made him look a little ferocious.
The same is true for him--fierce defense and aggressive offense!
The opponent of him was Portuguese star C-Ronaldo. Before this game, C-Ronaldo was thinking that he would perform well. It would be very easy to play against a team like Derby County, but now he didn't think so. He originally thought that there would be no player that could hinder his performance, but now he found that the left-handed Derby County who was against him was no worse than himself - his skills were not bad, and his defense was fierce.
It's difficult for him to break through on offense.
On defense, he couldn't defend against the opponent at all.
Such a guy is just a League One player? And he is not well-known so far? C-Ronaldo is a little unbelievable. He is unwilling to be suppressed. He is the biggest genius in Portugal in ten years. He is praised by fans as the heir to Luis Figo. The media also thinks that he will inherit the captain position of Figo, but no matter how hard he tries, he is still the same.
He found that the French player he faced was really no worse than him.
......
Alfred was fighting hard in the backcourt, and he was still very upset about the team's first goal conceding. Thinking of the conceding, he felt that it was his own mistake.
He didn't want to become a big star, nor did he think about his performance on the FA Cup final stage. He just wanted to not make any mistakes and defend Van Nicht, so he couldn't let the opponent score another goal.
This is his mission.
"I can't make any mistakes. Be sure to defend him!" Alfred firmly said that if his mistakes prevent the team from winning the FA Cup, he would feel very guilty, and that kind of guilt was even more uncomfortable than others' ridicule.
Under Alfred's defense, Van Nie also felt that it was difficult to play.
He originally thought it would be an easy game, but he didn't expect that the young central defender of the opponent would be so hard, the opponent was strong and the defensive skills were good. The key was that the opponent was very good at fighting. He always felt that he was severely restricted during the offense.
He cannot easily receive passes from his teammates, and it is difficult for him to get rid of the opponent.
"This young man may become a star in the future." Van Nie thought. The opponent is only in his early twenties and can play like this. The future is really limitless.
......
Leto Ziegler defended on the wing, and the opponent was Manchester United's "King of the Left" Giggs. Facing such a star that he could only look up to before, Ziegler felt very stressed. He was only 18 years old and did not make many starts this season. However, Wan Sheng still put him on the starting list in this game.
Leto Ziegler was very excited to participate in this kind of competition.
Although the team was behind at this time, Leto Ziegler's idea was very simple, that is, he had to try his best regardless of winning or losing. He didn't have many opportunities to start. So no matter what game he played, he would do his best to fight as long as he played. Only by performing can he have more opportunities to play in the future.
That's what Ziegler thought.
His performance was also good. Although he couldn't completely limit Giggs, he did a good job.
......
Other players, including captain Marcus, Peter Kennedy who just appeared, Leiden Bynes and Ottoman who moved to midfielder, have different ideas, but when the team is behind, each of them is working hard.
After Manchester United scored two consecutive goals, many people suddenly discovered that Derby County seemed to have exploded.
They fought fiercely on the court and played an equal game with Manchester United. They were not very passive. While they were very stable in defense, occasionally offensive advancement could create a threat. Such performance is surprising. After all, Derby County is just an English League One team, and they were completely unable to fight head-on with Manchester United before, so they could only passively defend.
"Derby County performed so well..." said the live commentator.
Wan Sheng was also very excited to watch the game on the court.
He has created this Derby County on the court now. These players have worked hard for a season or even longer, and their strength has improved. They are confident in the game, but even if they are too confident, facing Manchester United, they will still subconsciously think that the team is a weak team.
But now there is no way to see where Derby County is weak. Everyone is working hard, everyone is playing actively, and the team has burst out with high fighting spirit, which makes the game look like the two teams fighting head-on.
How many teams can the whole England do if they play head-on with Manchester United?
Wan Sheng felt a sense of pride.
Seeing the current game, Wan Sheng felt that it would be nothing more than losing the game, because he saw the team's future. As long as the team can perform like this, even if they are in the Premier League, they will still be a strong team. Compared to the future, what is a FA Cup champion?
Of course, it would be even better if you could win the game.
......
Derby County has shown extraordinary fighting spirit and fighting spirit, but it is not easy to break Manchester United's goal.
Manchester United's team does not focus on offense or defense. They have done well in both aspects. It is not easy to fight with them to break through Manchester United's defense line. Especially now, Derby County's tactics focus on defense. Even if every player performs well, it is still a bit too difficult to score goals.
Time has passed eighty minutes.
With only about ten minutes left, most of them felt that Derby County would not have any chance. Their performance was already very good. Being able to match Manchester United like this is already a manifestation of their strength, which is enough to make them proud.
Even those hostile media that won thousands of victories have to admit that Derby County performed extremely well in this game. The game has reached its current level. Even if Derby County loses the game, it is worthy of praise.
But no matter what, Derby County still cannot escape the fate of losing...
No one will think that Derby County has hope. There is not much time left. Manchester United still leads by one goal. Derby County wants to seize the chance of victory. Only by scoring another goal can they stand on the same starting line with Manchester United, otherwise they will not have any chance.
At this time, how difficult is Derby County going to score?
That can be described as a miracle!
Does Derby County still have hope? No one knows it. But the players on the field in Derby County did not give up. They were still fighting hard with Manchester United. They fought fiercely, which also made the Manchester United players angry. As a result, within three minutes, the referee presented a yellow card to each of the two teams to calm down again. However, Derby County was still playing desperately. Manchester United players only felt that the game became extremely difficult, which was different from what they imagined. Before the game, they thought that the game would not be suspense. After scoring two goals in a row, they felt that the game would be relaxed, but now they felt that the game was extremely difficult.
"This Derby County...is amazing!" said the live commentator.
Wan Sheng watched the game solemnly. He knew that players must stand up and perform particularly well in order to allow the team to seize the last chance, but will there be one?
He doesn't know.
Many Derby fans think so too. The team is in a desperate situation now. They hope that some players can stand up, but Cahill has already ended. Who else can they count on?
Frank Ribery!
Only Frank Ribery, who is the most skilled and famous player on the court. If he can stand up and turn the tide, Derbyshire fans will not be surprised. Of course, this idea may only be kept in mind, because Derbyshire fans do not think that the team still has a chance.
At this time, the large camera of the TV has turned to the fan stands, and some Manchester United fans have begun to celebrate their FA Cup championship. Obviously, they think there will be no suspense in the game.
"It's a pity that Derby County played very well, but their opponent is Manchester United..." The commentator said a little regretful, "Maybe just like Manchester United fans do it, we can really celebrate Manchester United's eleventh FA Cup championship in advance!"
While the live commentator talked about the game, another wave of offensive in Derby County has begun! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
