Chapter fifty-four desperate
Mourinho saw that Derby County relied on long-range shooting more, and he did not understand this tactic, but he still commanded the team to set up defenses in front of the penalty area in a targeted manner.
Chelsea strengthened the blockade in front of the penalty area, which had some impact on Derby County's offense.
This impact is not big. After all, it is almost impossible to limit the area outside the penalty area. The range is a bit too large, but it still has the effect. It is more defense in the dangerous position in front of the penalty area, at least it is not easy for Derby County to find a good shooting opportunity.
Derby County's offense was also restricted, and Morris quickly saw this situation and knew that the opponent had made corresponding adjustments.
Although he is not the captain on the field, he is the real commander on the field. He immediately told his teammates to try not to shoot from a long distance while trying to hit the ball into the penalty area for opportunities.
It is very difficult to change this offensive method in a short period of time, but at least after Morris' command reminder, Derby County's frontcourt was not so severely restricted, and it can again pose a threat to Chelsea's defense.
However, this is just a small-scale change. In the overall situation, Derby County has not changed its tactics, and neither has Chelsea. After the game started again, both sides were trying to strengthen the offense. The two teams were entangled in every corner of the stadium, with walls, pressing, fighting, and various exciting performances were staged one after another.
The competition has entered a white-hot stage.
The media expected the excitement before the game, ww○=≤t, finally staged halfway after the second half.
At this time, the head coaches of both sides, Wan Sheng and Mourinho, did not sit on the coach's seat anymore. Both of them walked to the sidelines and stared at the stadium with all concentration.
In the next ten minutes, both sides had a chance, but neither scored a goal.
Derby's offense still made Chelsea feel a headache. They didn't expect that Derby's offensive threat would be so great, not just long shots. Van der Fate and Ian Taylor frequently inserted into the penalty area, and they could also cause a lot of trouble; Ribery's dribbling on the side made Damien Duff very troublesome, and he was almost unable to stop Ribery alone; at the same time, Ivan Cru's omnipotence on the right also left a deep impact on Robben, and Ivan Cru did not have Robben's gorgeous feet.
The skills, but he is not bad in all aspects, and the defense is the same. Robben's defense is very average. As a result, the two clashed, Ivan Cru was not at all inferior. In addition, with Leto Ziegler, Robben did not perform at all for a long time. Mourinho hoped that Robben could have outstanding performance, but he was destined to be disappointed, because Derby County is not weak on the right side, and Wan Sheng also attached great importance to Robben's defense before the game. It was very difficult for Robben to perform.
In defense, Derby County did a good job, and they stopped Chelsea from attacking again and again; in offense, Derby County still did a good job. Although he did not score, he could frequently threaten Chelsea's goal, which was enough to keep Chelsea going up and down. Including head coach Mourinho, he was constantly worried about the goal.
But neither side scored any goal.
Until the 80th minute of the game, the score was still 1:1. At this time, the media reporters who were looking forward to Chelsea's last big victory were not good-looking.
Before the game, they thought that Chelsea would not have any suspense in the result of the game. Chelsea likes to play the most is this kind of team that is good at attacking. But in this game, Derby suddenly chose to shrink and defend. While scolding Wan Sheng for being "utilitarian", they had to admit that this is the best way to deal with Chelsea. When Derby was blown away a penalty and Chelsea scored the first goal, they believed that the game had returned to the rhythm of "Chelsea's big victory".
As a result, the game did not return as they expected. Derby County quickly recovered a goal in the second half. If the game ended, it can be said that Derby County succeeded.
Not to mention the penalty kick that was blown away in the first half, but just a 1:1 match against Chelsea, Derby County is definitely quite successful. They are the second in the league. Being able to get points from Chelsea means that they can continue to remain unbeaten, which means that they are likely to maintain their league rankings. This is absolutely acceptable for Derby County as a "renewal" and "dark horse".
On the contrary, this is unacceptable for Chelsea.
When they meet Derby County, the best result can only be to defeat Derby County and open the league points gap, and the draw can only be to get cheaper Arsenal and Manchester United.
No matter how media reported on the game before the game, reporters from all media had similar judgments in their minds, so by this time, all the fans who supported Derby County were very happy, and the 1:1 result was a victory for them.
The media supporting Chelsea were all dark and scolded the reporters in the opposite camp for "the villain was successful", so they put their minds in the game, hoping that Chelsea could defeat Derby County at the last moment.
Everyone thinks that Derby County can get a draw in this game is a good result, but Wan Sheng, as Derby County coach, doesn't think so.
1:1, draw, 1 point, not bad.
It doesn't matter if you play against other teams, it's all right to have a draw. After all, there are wins and losses in the league. There are always good states. When it's not good, there are always good luck. When it's bad, no matter how strong the team is, they dare not say that they win every game, so an accident occasionally occurs and even wins can be accepted.
But this is a game against Chelsea!
Wansheng has regarded Chelsea as its biggest competitor!
At the beginning of the league, Wan Sheng actually didn't think about leading Derby County to win the league championship, because even he himself didn't believe it when he said such words. He did not have the experience of coaching the top league, and Derby County was just a new team, so he just set his goal in the top six of the league, that is, to win places in European competitions. After receiving the task released by the football training master system, he also set his goal on "strive to win various cup championships, plus the Community Shield Cup, and make up three championships."
But as the league progressed, Wan Sheng found that the Premier League was nothing. As long as the team performed normally and maintained stable results and condition, the league championship could also be won!
So Chelsea became the biggest competitor, because Wan Sheng knew that Chelsea could win the championship several rounds ahead of schedule this season. I had no impression of the specific rounds, but it was certain that I would win the championship early. Therefore, if Derby County wants to win the championship, it must compete with Chelsea. Now it is a head-on battle, and it is a match at Pride Stadium. It is impossible to defeat Chelsea here. Then the competition in the future will be more difficult, right?
This definitely won't work!
Derby County needs a victory, and even a victory, which is not only a victory, but also a proverb!
All of them have fought to this level. If it is a draw, it is better to lose!
One minute, he doesn't care!
Wan Sheng looked at Cruivet, who was warming up.
Cruivit started warming up five minutes ago. Wan Sheng asked him to warm up just to do a insurance policy. If the team could score a goal, Cruivit would naturally not use it. However, if the goal was delayed, Cruivit would need to play. However, Wan Sheng did not think about whom to replace him before, but at the moment of stake, he immediately decided to come down.
He bets on Richfedinnan.
Rich Fedinnan's strength is very average, but his defense is done well and he is doing dirty and tired on the court. He is a very good defensive midfielder. Although his performance in this game is not conspicuous, his role in defense is undoubtedly.
But now the team needs goals, and Fei Dingnan's role is not very good.
Fedinnan has little role in offense. His ability is completely focused on defense. His offensive methods are very difficult to face ordinary Premier League teams, not to mention facing Chelsea. If Ottoman hadn't been unable to play, Wan Sheng would not have sent Fedinnan to start. Fedinnan is a little unable to run now, so Wan Sheng decided to change him.
Although it is a bit dangerous for the team to defend after replacing Fei Dingnan, now it is a time to bet. If you win the bet, you can win. If you lose the bet, you may lose the game. Wan Sheng will not accept the draw, so he would rather go for a bet.
He waved his hand and called Cruivet over.
Cruivet was still quite excited. In fact, many substitutes would warm up regularly. This was to keep their shape, so warm up may not necessarily play. He didn't expect much. After all, Ian Taylor only played in the second half, and Van der Fate, who is also a Dutch player, performed very well. No matter how he thought about it, he was unlikely to play.
But if the head coach calls him over, he will likely appear.
This is a game against Chelsea!
This is the first time Cruyvert has participated in the Premier League, but he also knows that Chelsea is the first in the league, which is enough. Derby County is the second and Chelsea is the first. This game is crucial, just like Real Madrid in La Liga should not be that level against Barcelona, but it is always a game that is related to the top of the league, which is quite important.
After coming to Derby County, Cruivet was still looking forward to it. When he was in Barcelona, his condition was getting worse day by day, so he was so far that the club did not renew his contract with him. As a result, he could only transfer freely. When he came to Derby County, he did not have a stable main position, but what was exciting was that he felt that his condition was getting better day by day, so he was looking forward to his appearance in important games.
Now is the opportunity.
Sure enough, Wansheng looked at Cruivet seriously and said, "When you came, I said that you would be an important member of the team."
"Yes, boss." Cruivet said head-on.
"Now is a good opportunity to prove yourself! There are still ten minutes left in the game. After you come on the court, you will be in the front and look for opportunities in the front. Your task is to use running to disrupt the defense and wait for opportunities to find opportunities. Even if you can't find opportunities yourself, you will also create opportunities for others. You must remember two points, be in the front, and in addition, you must keep running and disrupt the defense. Don't care about where the football is. Your job is to make the opponent unable to defend with peace of mind. Do you understand what I mean?"
Cruivet nodded vigorously, "I understand! Boss!"
