Chapter 51 We are a strong team!

What happened in the first half was actually very simple, Derby County was blown away by the referee, and then Chelsea scored a goal in the last time.¢£

Derby County was almost always defending throughout the first half, which was the first time this season. Since Derby County advanced to the Premier League, their "os-fast system" has become more and more mature. In this game, Derby County demonstrated its defensive counterattack ability. Even the media that are dissatisfied with Derby County's performance must admit that Derby County has done a good job in defense, and their only chance to be blown away is almost equivalent to a goal. If it weren't for the referee's penalty, Derby County might be the one leading now.

But the most satisfying thing is Chelsea, because they are the truly leading side. The London commentator who supports Chelsea happily made a conclusion on the outcome of the game. "There is no suspense in this game! Since the beginning of this season, when Chelsea scored first, the results of the game were all Chelsea won! This goal is the watershed of the game, and there is no suspense in the outcome of the game!"

"This game will also become an important game for the championship. Chelsea has been unable to widen the points gap before, but after the game is over and Derby County is 6 points behind, it will not be easy to catch it back!"

"Don't forget that this is Derby County's first defeat this season, and their unbeaten golden body is about to be broken..."

“…”

The London commentator kept saying that after hearing his words, he could really think that Derby County must have lost, but in fact, the first half just ended. In the media table of the stadium, the supporters of both sides were still arguing. One side supported Chelsea, most of them were Chelsea supporters, and some Derby County hostile media. The other side was Derby County local media and some other major media. When Chelsea met Derby County, Derby County also had many supporters. These media may not simply support Derby County, but they are definitely hostile to Chelsea.

On the court, the teams of both sides were fighting, and in the media seat, reporters were also fighting against whom they won and whom they lost.

The media supporting Chelsea first shouted for the lead, they believed that the game was already in the 'Chelsea rhythm', and there was no need to say much about the next second half. Chelsea will definitely win, the only difference is whether Chelsea will score another goal in the second half. As for Derby County? It is impossible.

"In front of the powerful Chelsea, Derby County has no choice but to fail!"

The media supporting Derby County then kept refuting and said with that penalty kick, "Chelsea leads by the referee." 'If that were a penalty kick, the score would be completely different now'.

This is how both sides met.

The reporters are all professionally verbal, even when interviewing reporters, and verbal battles are their best. Whether it is "slogging around the bush" or "front-to-face debate" they are their specialty. So no one said they were dissatisfied with each other, and the two sides could say that they had a equal battle.

Finally, an old reporter said, "Even if you said it's useless! We'll just wait for the second half to start here, the game will tell you everything."

As an old journalist with a neutral camp, it is still very effective to stand up and persuade.

Both sides disliked each other and wanted to argue the result, but they were really tired, so they all shut up their mouths. But they were still unconvinced.

However, in this regard, the media reporters who support Chelsea still have some advantages. After all, Chelsea is the leading side. No matter what the media supporting Derby County cannot change the fact that the score is disadvantaged. Many of the reporters are just dissatisfied with the penalty kick being blown away. Even if they support Derby County, they feel that Derby County has no hope. After all, Chelsea scored the first goal.

Just as the other party said, "There is no one who won the first goal this season when Chelsea scored a goal..." This is the fact of the first thirteen rounds of the league, and it is also one of the important reasons why the media accused Mourinho of his utilitarianism.

When Chelsea takes the lead, they will strengthen their defense and start to drag time and play slowly, and their defense is more stable to play defensive counterattacks. If the opponent does not pay attention to defense and there are loopholes in the backcourt, it is Chelsea's chance. If the opponent also pays attention to defense, then drag time. In short, Chelsea leads by one goal.

This is Mourinho's 'utilitarian' football style!

In fact, to really talk about this, Wan Sheng and Mourinho are no different. His 'os-fast' defense is often used, especially after the team takes the lead, they will retreat to defense and prepare for counterattacks. In short, everything is for victory. It is easier to win and play like this. However, Derby County can play beautifully even if it is defending. Therefore, the media consciously ignored the fact that their football is sometimes passive, believing that Derby County is a team that focuses on offense and summarizes them with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

But now Wan Sheng knows that 'defense win' is meaningless to Derby County.

Derbyshire is the backward side.

At the end of the first half, after returning to the locker room, Wan Sheng kept thinking about how to play to get a better chance. When Chelsea scored first, it became very difficult to win. What tactics would the Portuguese make Chelsea play? He thought about it with his butt.

But Chelsea's utilitarianism is on the surface. The opponent just wants to play defensive counterattacks, and the defense is tighter than in the first half. Now it depends on what Derby County does.

How to do it?

Of course, attack!

But how to attack becomes a problem. First of all, the defense must be stable and you cannot give the opponent too many opportunities to counterattack. Another point is that the offense must also be threatened. However, if you want to be threatened to advance the offense, you must invest a lot of energy. In this way, it is a bit of a fantasy to do both defense and offense at the same time.

This is the place that bothers Wansheng.

Suddenly he remembered a game last season, which was a game against Ipswich. Ipswich was a player who was very good at defense. Before the game, Wan Sheng was worried about how to break the opponent's defense. At that time, Derby County had limited strength, so he chose to increase long-range shots by "relying on luck".

Long shots are really a bit "relying on luck", but with the "long shot increase" and "shot technique" bonus effect, it cannot be said that it depends on luck. If you keep shooting from a long shot, you will still have a great chance of scoring.

What's more, the victory or defeat of football matches is a bit lucky. It's like the first half, and everything is almost in your control. As a result, the referee's penalty changed the entire situation, and then Chelsea took the lead. Derby County's backward passive situation can be said to be caused by bad luck.

No matter how good the tactic is, whether you can score a goal depends on luck.

If the long shot is added, the team's formation does not need to attack too far, and can also take into account defense. In this way, against Chelsea's opponents with very strict defense, the effect should be no worse than the regular advancement and finding opportunities.

Wansheng decided to come down.

With a decision, your mood will be much more relaxed.

The atmosphere in the home team's locker room of the Pride Stadium is still depressing. The team rarely has this atmosphere during the halftime break, but now the team is behind, everyone is in no mood.

When Wan Sheng walked into the locker room, his expression was very serious. He walked slowly in the middle for several steps, and it was obvious that he was thinking, and many players were watching. Waiting for Wan Sheng to say something.

Finally, Wan Sheng stopped and his face relaxed.

He said nothing, but the change in his expression made all the players who saw it breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, many players had not yet come back to their senses in the first half, but when they saw the coach's relaxed expression, they seemed to have found their backbone and became less worried about the game.

Wan Sheng naturally understood his influence on the entire player.

This involves some learning from the heart.

It doesn't make sense to say that it is so complicated. In short, as the head coach, I am the spiritual pillar of the entire team. When the team is behind, he must perform easily to give everyone confidence. Not all backwards must perform like this. The key is that in this game, everyone's performance is not bad, and the reason for the backwards has a lot to do with luck.

Now he needs to appease everyone and propose effective tactical strategies so that everyone can regain their confidence.

"I want to ask you a question: Are we a strong team? Can anyone answer me?"

Wansheng looked up at everyone.

Everyone looked over and they didn't quite understand why the coach asked such a question. Are we a strong team? Of course, we can be the second in the Premier League!

But most people just thought about it and didn't say it because they felt that such an answer was definitely incorrect, otherwise the coach wouldn't ask, but some players still said it directly, "Of course, boss, we are the second in the league! We just completed the five consecutive league wins! The newspaper said that we all have a chance to compete for the league championship!"

Wan Sheng looked over and it was Alfred.

"You're right, Baker." Wan Sheng smiled at Alfred and asked everyone, "But do you know what a strong team is?"

"Don't you have good grades?"

Many people have doubts, but before they asked, Wan Sheng continued, "A strong team is not just about good results! For a strong team, the most important thing is to have a heart that keeps striving for victory! It is courage! It is belief! No matter what happens, they will dare to deal with it and try to seize every opportunity to win! This is why a strong team can achieve good results."

"That's what I'm going to say."

"The newspaper said that we are 'dark horses', what does 'dark horses' mean? You all know it very well. But I want to say that this is by no means a compliment, but a sarcasm! Yes! Look at those dark horses, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur? Or West Ham United? Oh my God, West Ham United can't find it in the Premier League! Now see which Everton and Tottenham rank in the top ranks? Why did they perform so well before, and were called the dark horses of a season, but they immediately fell into the next season? I want to say that this has a lot to do with belief, and they don't have a heart to win!"

"If you have faith and never give up, this is a strong team! A strong team is about creating miracles, not giving up when facing difficulties. Our strength is not bad, but Chelsea is stronger, but football games are never spoken by strength. We were blown off a penalty kick and they were leading by one goal. This is nothing! It doesn't matter!"

"The 38th round of the league, plus the UEFA Cup, various cup matches, and so many games, we will encounter many things. Do we just admit defeat every time we encounter it? No, no, no, what we have to do is keep working hard! We have a chance before the last minute of the game!"

"We just want to turn the impossible into possible and accomplish the miracle in the eyes of others!"

"We are a strong team who can do these things!"

In the locker room, everyone knew that Wan Sheng was boosting morale, but when they heard these words, they still felt excited and energetic. As football players, who doesn’t want to create miracles, and who doesn’t want to pursue victory? They just couldn’t see hope before, but now they at least see the goal that needs to be worked hard, that is, to persevere until the last minute of the game, fight with their opponents, persist, and persist!

They want to prove that they will not give up, Derby County is a strong team!

Looking at the heat in everyone's eyes, Wan Sheng also knew that his words had worked. This was what he wanted to achieve. However, it was not enough to just boost morale. He had to come up with effective strategies. Just supporting the competition with fighting spirit is the behavior of a reckless man. Derby County is not a reckless man. What he had to do was to give him a greater chance of winning.

Next, Wan Sheng talked about his playing style in the second half.

When they heard that long-range shooting was needed as the main offensive method, some new players such as Van der Fate were surprised. This was the first time they heard that they could attack with long-range shooting, while other old players didn't have much thoughts. Last season in the second division, they used similar tactics and won a big victory.

The team's strength was different at that time and it was amazing to be able to score such a score.

So they have confidence in this way of playing.

In the end, Wan Sheng also talked about Chelsea's weaknesses to Van der Fate, Morris and others, "Maybe their central defender Paul Ferreira is the best entry point..."

He said so.

Wan Sheng just took the opportunity to mention it. In his impression, Paul Ferreira has been performing poorly since she arrived at Chelsea and has not been able to adapt to the fierce collision in the Premier League. Although he has never left Chelsea in his future career, after Mourinho left, he can only serve as a substitute, and he is a substitute with very few appearances.

He is still the main defender now, and Chelsea performed well overall, so this weakness has not been revealed.

But if this impact is expected, it may bring unexpected surprises.

However, Wan Sheng only talked with Morris and Van der Fate, that is, their positions are most likely to have a head-on conflict with Ferreira, and their dribbling abilities are also good. If you have the opportunity to go to the front, you may find a good opportunity to shoot. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
