Chapter 45 Dragon Slayer Warriors

The next day, the 13th round of the Premier League ended, and many media reported in detail about the match against Middlesbrough. Although this game was just a match between Derby and Middlesbrough, the result was only disappointing those hostile media in Derby County, Derby County's victory was actually not unexpected. After all, Derby County's results are much better than Middlesbrough, and they are playing at home, so it is not surprising that Middlesbrough loses the game. ▲∴

Regarding this game, media reports are more about Raphael Van der Fate's performance.

Van der Fate scored two shots and made one pass, and performed outstandingly throughout the game, becoming the best player. He was also rated as the best in this round by the media, which is the best of the 20 Premier League teams. It is naturally worthy of praise for being able to win this honor.

While media reports, many clubs were also surprised by Van der Fate's performance. As clubs, they are still paying attention to their opponents. No matter which team in the Premier League, Derby County can be regarded as a strong opponent. So when they see Van der Fate performing so well, they will also pay attention. Recently, they are shocked by the superb technical strength Van der Fate showed in the game.

Van der Fate shows the ability of a world-class star.

Before coming to the Premier League, Van der Fate played for Ajax. Although he was the captain of Ajax for a year, he actually had no fame in Europe, let alone in England. Since Ajax did not participate in the European Champions League last year, no one knew who their new captain was. It was not until Van der Fate transferred to Derby County that everyone knew that this young man was Ajax's captain.

Despite this, many people are not optimistic about Van der Fate.

After all, Ajax is not the top giants that were once. With the introduction of the 1995 Boseman Act, the giants in the minor leagues had to give way to the giants in the major leagues, and Ajax gradually declined. Now they all have difficulty competing for Feyenoord, let alone in the whole of Europe. So if you want to say that "Captain Ajax" is just a name, no one cares.

But after this game, it is different. If you look closely at the game, you will find that Van der Fate definitely shows the strength of the world's top players. Middlesbrough's defense is quite good, which is in line with the saying "McLarren's team is not easy to deal with." Even a team like Manchester United and Chelsea dare not say that they can win Middlesbrough at home. Derby County did it, especially Van der Fate scored two goals and assisted once in the "key care" behind Middlesbrough. This performance is definitely surprising.

“This is a world-class performance!”

The Sun said, "Raphael Van der Fate's ability has surpassed that of ordinary top league players. The key is that he is only 21 years old and his future is infinitely bright! After a year in Derby County, he can firmly occupy the main position in the Netherlands!"

"If he can stick to this performance, he will become the hottest player in the transfer market next summer!"

The Sun is worthy of being a media affiliated with Murdoch News Group. After praising Vanderfate, he did not forget to disgust the Derby County Club, or to say, disgusting Wan Sheng. Their meaning is very obvious, that is, 'Derby County cannot keep a star like Vanderfate'.

Although many reports focus on Van der Fate, Derby County's results are still commendable. As of this round, Derby County has remained unbeaten in the league for 13 rounds, and the victory of this game is also the fifth consecutive victory of Derby County.

Although the league rankings have not changed, such results are also surprising.

If the media used to characterize Derby County as "lucky luck", the content of the comments reported now shows that the media's attitude has changed, and Derby County has at least been upgraded to a "dark horse".

However, the dark horse is just a dark horse. The media still doesn't think Derby County can last until the end. However, Chelsea, which has achieved a magnificent record, has already won eight consecutive victories in the league, is the protagonist that the media talks about.

Chelsea beat Fulham 4-1 away in the last round, winning the West London Derby County battle.

This is their eight consecutive victories.

In these eight games, Chelsea scored more than four goals in four games, showing Chelsea's strong strength. At the same time, some of Chelsea's strong players were also highlighted by the media. The overwhelming reporting rhetoric is no less than the evaluation of Rafael Van der Fate.

The players that Chelsea have become famous in a straight line are Lampard, Terry and Robben.

Robben became the strongest killer on the front line. Terry, who just got a new contract and raised his salary, is the coach on the back line. When it comes to the leader of the midfield, Lampard is the only one.

The three became the leader of Chelsea's three fronts.

Lampard is not a player who has been a big shot in Stamford Bridge, but he always gets the most cheers here. Mourinho's arrangement in the last round of the league has explained everything: in this team, the Portuguese only values ​​three players the most in the midfield and frontcourt, namely Robben, Goodjohansen and Lampard.

In the tough battle with Newcastle, Mourinho replaced the three players with a last resort in the second half. It was them who brought victory to the Blues. Mourinho knew that Lampard and Robben would still bring victory to the team.

It turns out that if this is a gamble, it would be wise for the Portuguese to bet on more chips.

Lampard and Robben brought him the victory he needed.

Especially Lampard's amazing free kick, a shocking thunder hit the narrow Clewin Village Stadium. In the 34th minute, Robben's straight pass was blocked by Fulham's defender. Just as Malbrank was about to dribble the ball forward, Marklele, who had outstanding interception skills, suddenly appeared in front of him, and Fulham's forward had to foul. Goodjohansen and Duff stepped on each other, and Lampard made a powerful long shot from 30 meters away and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Lampard brought a perfect start to Chelsea.

However, this long shot was not the only highlight of the cottage court this afternoon. In the 22nd minute of the second half, the home team's Senegal midfielder Diop scored a more exciting goal than Lampard. Razinski made a cross from the right and was cleared by Terry's header. Diop, 35 meters away from the goal, volleyed the ball, and the ball rushed into the lower left corner of the Chelsea goal like a cannonball.

However, despite being at home, Fulham is still not the protagonist this afternoon.

Lampard and Robben made the whole Chelsea team run freely, and the cooperation between the two almost made the fans in this small stadium desperate. In the last stage of the first half, Lampard's two chances almost announced the end of the game in advance.

In the end, Chelsea did not give the opponent any chance after Robben scored.

For Lampard, this is enough, and this is also the first time he has scored with a free kick this season. Lampard, who used to be more beautiful, has now become a powerful cannon. For all the defenders, the stealth killer hidden behind the striker has become more comprehensive and terrifying.

The performance of Chelsea players was still unanimously praised.

But similar to the situation in Derby County, the media not very good about Chelsea while focusing on reporting on Chelsea players. Although they have nothing to say about Chelsea's results, when the media wants to say it, there is always something to say. Their "handle" of Chelsea is tactical style.

In four of Chelsea's eight consecutive victories, all were '1:0', so some media mocked Mourinho's football as "'1:0' utilitarian football."

It is also difficult for the media hostile to Chelsea to start from other aspects. They can only use Chelsea’s tactical style to satirize Mourinho’s conservatism. They even use the 10,000-win Derby County as a teaching material. "Look at the second in the league, they are just a small team that has just been promoted, but they play very well in every game. And every game of Chelsea makes people sleepy."

"The Derby County game is pleasing to the eye, and Chelsea's tactics are a kind of regression in football! Utilitarian football should be out of England, we don't need a conservative champion!"

"If Premier League teams can be like Arsenal, Derby County, Tottenham Hotspur, our league will win more spectators!"

"The FA hopes to sell the Premier League to the world. Mourinho is the biggest enemy of the FA!"

“…”

Looking at these reports, Wan Sheng could imagine Mourinho's mood. Although he was not well-known in the English media, he was not as good as being called the "the biggest enemy of the FA" and the "public enemy of English football", Mourinho did it, and he could only say that he admired him for this.

Wan Sheng really feels a sense of mutual appreciation for Mourinho.

Although the two didn't know each other and had never even met each other, the common point was that they were targeted in the English media. Perhaps there was another point, that is, their team-leading performance was very good. Now, the goal of Wan Sheng is to lead the team to catch up with Chelsea in the league and strive for the league championship in the near future.

That's the Premier League champion!

In the summer, even if Wan Sheng had ideas about the league championship, he would not dare to say it out, or even think about it. But now he found that it was feasible for Derby County to win the league championship, and his biggest contender was Chelsea.

Chelsea...

Even if there is a gap in strength, it can still be won. Wan Sheng's heart became hot when he thought of leading the team to win the Premier League championship.

That is a truly remarkable honor!

What he has to face at the moment is Chelsea, because the next round of the league will be the match between Derby County and Chelsea, or the battle at Pride Stadium.

He attaches great importance to this game.

In the media's opinion, this is a confrontation between the first and second in the league. The victory or defeat can directly determine the title of the league's top position. In Wansheng, this is his direct competition with Mourinho. He wants to see what skills can this most popular football coach in the world in the next ten years.

This is the challenge for Derbyshire and his!

However, while preparing for the game, Wan Sheng was still very pleased to see the hot reports of the game by many media, because when Derby County met Chelsea, it seemed that the voices that supported Derby County were much more than those that supported Chelsea... This may be attributed to Mourinho's unpopular image in the media and Chelsea's transfer strategy. Now Chelsea has almost become the public enemy of English football.

Although Wansheng is not well-known in the media, that is more of a personal reason and has nothing to do with the Derby County Club.

Chelsea is entirely due to the club.

Their transfer strategy offended almost all other clubs, disrupted the transfer market, frequently used high salaries to seduce big-name stars from other teams, and Mourinho's mouth that is annoying everywhere... No one except Chelsea's own fans would have a good impression of Chelsea.

So the direction of public opinion in the media can be imagined.

A large group of media came forward and expressed support for Derby County.

It looked like Derby County became a "Dragon Slayer Warrior". Everyone hoped that Derby County could kill Chelsea's "Black Dragon that is doing evil everywhere".
