Chapter 57 Central TV
In previous years, there were only three teams that were able to join the ranks of league championships - Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. The first two were regular visitors to the championship, while Liverpool fought for it every year, but never succeeded.
This year is different from the past, the teams competing for the Premier League championship have added another team - Chelsea. All media must admit this, because Chelsea was the second in the league last season. After continuing to replenish their strength this season, they have the ability to compete for the league championship. At least they are much more reliable than Liverpool, which calls for the league championship every season.
So the teams competing for the league championship became four teams - Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. These four teams are also called the "Premier Four" by the media. In their opinion, the championship will definitely be decided from these four teams. Even if other teams perform well, it is unlikely that they will compare with these teams. The foundation, strength, etc., many things determine the gap between other teams and these four teams, so that they will not have any chance.
But after more than a dozen rounds of the league, Derby County stood out.
A newly promoted team, even if they have good results in the first few rounds of the league, the media doesn't care. In their opinion, this is a "dark horse". That's all, but after more than a dozen rounds, Derby County is still ranked second in the league, only three league points behind Chelsea, which ranked first. Especially after this home victory over Chelsea, anyone must admit that Derby County has the ability to compete for the league championship!
Compared with the "Premier Four", Derby County has no reputation, but the strength it has shown is surprising. In terms of lineup strength, they are not worse than ordinary Premier League powerhouses. In terms of performance, they beat Chelsea, with the same points as Chelsea, and are only one point behind, ranking second in the league. Such a result is enough to make Derby County a "team that may compete for the league championship" in the eyes of the media.
Not only the media, but everyone thinks this way. After the game, many Derby fans were talking about whether the team could compete for the league championship.
"We lost to us in the league first, so we will definitely have a chance to win the championship!"
"Premier champion! It's very difficult! But I hope Wansheng can do it!"
"The championship is a bit far from us. We can just watch it. No matter what the final result is, I support Wansheng!"
""
This is the sound made by the fans.
For Derby County itself, many players also feel that the team has a chance. Before, they didn't even dare to think about the league championship. Wan Sheng talked about the highest goal was just "strive to qualify for the Champions League". But now that he defeated Chelsea, many players have begun to look forward to the league championship.
After the game, Wan Sheng and Mourinho shook hands quickly and rushed into the stadium to celebrate the victory with the players, while Mourinho went directly to the press conference.
After weekdays, Mourinho likes to go to the press conference. Because Chelsea is generally a winner, it is quite pleasant to go to the press conference to see the league of those hostile media journalists, but today it is different. Chelsea lost the game, but Mourinho was still very dissatisfied with the loss. Chelsea only scored one goal in the whole game, but it was still a goal in the first half. After a long attack in the second half, Chelsea did not score any more.
So Mourinho blamed the loss on Derby County's playing style.
"I'm very disappointed because there is only one team in this game playing football for victory, and the other team is to not concede the ball."
"I heard Derby County is best at attacking, but all I see is defense, defense and defense, they are not playing football. According to our country, they drive a bus and park it in front of the goal. Everyone's purpose is to block the goal. The game starts and the game ends.
"The result is a bit unfair. We played very good offensive football but only got one goal, and they scored two with two sneak attacks. I'm not complaining about my players, I'm very happy with their performance, and of course the shot was not satisfactory."
“If I spent £40 to buy tickets to watch this game, I would feel very disappointed because there was only one team playing football.”
After saying these words, some reporters began to refute Mourinho because Derby scored two goals and won, and Derby was blown away by a point in the first half.
Mourinho said in response, "That penalty kick that was blown away? No, I don't think so. It was the referee's penalty. We should respect the referee's decision."
Many reporters were stunned when they heard this.
They were surprised at the thickness of the Portuguese face. You should know how many games Chelsea had before. Even if they won Mourinho, they did not forget to mock the referee who made a decision that was unfavorable to Chelsea. Now the referee made a penalty that was beneficial to Chelsea, which turned out to be a decision that respected the referee.
Mourinho obviously won't comment on this issue. Next he started talking about Derby County. He praised Derby County's performance. "The opponent's two goals were beautiful, and I also saw a very outstanding player, Rafael Van der Fate. I noticed him in the summer. It's a pity that Derby County took the lead. But now I hope to bring Van der Fate to Stamford Bridge Stadium. He will be an indispensable member of Chelsea!"
""
This is Mourinho's first time doing the poaching action in the press conference. Generally speaking, Chelsea secretly quoted in private, but now Mourinho is obviously very moved by Van der Fate.
This also made some media reporters feel excited. Does this mean that Chelsea is about to start poaching Derby County?
Van der Fate!
Regardless of whether what Mourinho said is true or false, Chelsea must be able to buy Van der Fate, and their attractiveness is definitely much stronger than Derby County. Many media reporters already know what to report next besides the game.
When Wansheng came to the press conference, Mourinho had already left and the two did not meet. But this was not the case that Wansheng knew what Mourinho said, so naturally there would be a press officer telling him the news, but he didn't care about Mourinho's words at all.
Blast Derby County’s defense?
This is what teams that lose will do, especially guys like Mourinho. He will naturally push the blame for losing and express his dissatisfaction with the game. As the winner, Wan Sheng doesn't care at all.
As for Mourinho talking about Van der Fate and so on, Wan Sheng has been prepared for a long time. After performing well in Derby County, he knew that many outstanding players on the team will be taken by various clubs, but even if they are taken advantage of, it will be next summer to transfer and leave. The winter transfer team will definitely not sell people. Wan Sheng has already made it clear to the players in this regard. He has only one meaning to express - if he wants to leave, he can, the club will be released next summer, but he must perform well this season.
Wan Sheng is not worried about the impact this will have on the club, because anyone knows that Derby County can't keep people now, but by the end of the season, if Derby County can win several championships, it will be enough to keep some players' hearts?
When Wan Sheng walked into the press conference, he immediately became the focus of the game. After Derby County defeated Chelsea in this game, the league points caught up with Chelsea. Such a result was so outstanding that it was simply unexpected.
While everyone was surprised by the achievements of Derby County, they also asked. 'How did he do it?'
Many people are curious.
Wan Sheng sat comfortably on the rostrum and replied, "I tell the players. We are a strong team! A strong team is not just about strength, but about having a strong team's heart. We will never give up at any time and work hard until the last moment of the game."
"This game is like this. In the first half, we were blown off a penalty and fell behind. The opponent was Chelsea. In this case, no one dared to say that we could tie the game, but I told the players that we are a strong team and we must stick to the end. Now we have done it, and I am not surprised at all."
After talking about this, Wan Sheng talked about the goals of this season again. He said with a smile, "I think that after this game, our goals should be further away. I only planned to lead the team to qualify for the Champions League, but now I find it is also very interesting to win the championship."
No one of the reporters were surprised when they heard this.
Regarding the goal of Derby County in the new season, Wan Sheng talked about it several times. The first time was at the beginning of the season. At that time, Wan Sheng talked about the team's goal was to compete for European competitions, that is, the top six in the league; then Derby County went smoothly to the top six, and Wan Sheng turned the goal into the Champions League qualification; and now Derby County defeated Chelsea, anyone must admit that Derby County has the ability to win the league championship.
As for whether it can be done, it depends on their next performance and the performance of their competitors, but one thing is certain, that is, Derby County has the ability to win the championship.
So when Wan Sheng said this, no reporter refuted it. They took it for granted that even those hostile media in Derby County must admit that the young Chinese in front of him have been quite successful this season. It is normal for him to raise his goals to the highest league championship stage again and again.
This is what the results bring.
After leaving the press conference, Wan Sheng returned to the locker room. The players of the team were very excited because they won the game at home.
When Wan Sheng walked in, the locker room was in chaos.
When the players saw their head coach appear, they also became quiet. No one spoke. They just looked at Wan Sheng, which meant that they were waiting for Wan Sheng to say a few words.
Wan Sheng looked at everyone with a smile and asked, "How is it like becoming a strong team?"
"Very good!" Many people answered loudly.
After this game, many players' respect for Wan Sheng has increased a lot, especially the new players, who are expected to break through the 80 point mark. Compared with the 100 point reverence value, 80 points is nothing, but 80 points actually represents the players' absolute trust in Wan Sheng's ability to lead the team.
"It's really good. Trust in the team and your abilities is very important, and having a strong team's heart is also very important. As long as you believe in yourself, the team's abilities, and never give up in the game, then we have the confidence to greet any opponent head-on!"
"Now, I can say it clearly--our goal is to win the league championship!"
"I just said this to the reporters at the press conference. Now I want to ask you, are you confident to fight for this championship with me??"
Wan Sheng asked loudly with his arm waved.
If Wan Sheng had said anything about the championship before, few players would have responded, but after winning this game, the team's confidence increased greatly. Everyone rushed to shout--
“Have confidence!”
"We will definitely win the league!"
"Let the other teams go hell! The champion must be ours!"
""
With the shouts one by one, Wan Sheng and the players, everyone felt a force surging in their hearts. One thing they could feel was that now they have truly become a strong team and have the confidence and fighting spirit of a strong team.
This gives them full confidence, makes them stronger, and makes them bravely move forward!
When they think of the league championship, they feel that the hot guys are even more like Chelsea can win the league championship, and they defeated Chelsea. Now the league points are also catching up with Chelsea, so they can definitely win the league championship!
This is faith!
Wan Sheng looked at the performance on everyone's faces and felt very satisfied. Many realistic things were placed in front of him, making him afraid to set his goal too high, but now he has no scruples because the whole team is full of confidence. Until now, he can try his best to think about what he can strive for, which is what he wants.
He believes that as long as he tries his best, the team will definitely achieve better results.
They are already on the road to winning the league championship!
The next day, the English media reported the overwhelming number of Derbyshire and Chelsea matches.
The media that support Derby County and those hostile to Chelsea are nothing more than just praise Derby County and mocking Chelsea.
Neutral media also praised Derby County's performance and talked about Wansheng's remarks about "fighting for the league championship". Some giant coaches also expressed their opinions on this, such as Ferguson said sarcastically, "It seems that we have another competitor."
Even though he said that, the disdain on the old Jazz's face was undoubtedly revealed. Perhaps in his eyes, he did not think Derby County had the ability to win the championship.
Wenger smiled and congratulated Derby County on its victory, and expressed his envy of several Derby County's outstanding players, but he did not say anything about Wan Sheng's competition for the championship.
There is nothing else to say about other coaches. After all, their teams don’t even have the qualifications to win the championship.
At the same time, Wan Sheng was sitting in the office, writing and drawing on the tactical board. This was a habit he had when he came to the team in the morning. How to improve tactics and make the team perform better is a long-term job. At this time, the club's press officer, Charlson, stood in front of the door and knocked on the door twice.
Wan Sheng looked up and looked over in confusion.
Richardson said directly, "Mr. Wansheng, a Chinese reporter asked to conduct an exclusive interview with you."
"Reject!" Wan Sheng said without hesitation.
He has always directly refused interviews with these media reporters. Whether it is a domestic or foreign journalist, there will be more things after setting a precedent, and he has no time to accept unnecessary interviews. That means nothing to him, it just creates value for the media interviewed.
However, Richardson continued, "It's the Central TV, and it is said to be very influential in China."
"What?"
"Central TV." Richardson repeated.
"CCTV?" Wan Sheng was stunned. After thinking about it, he was still a little looking forward to it.
This is CCTV. It’s not a waste of money or a search pot, but CCTV. For an ordinary person, being able to be on CCTV is definitely an honor. Even those celebrities want to show off their faces on CCTV. Now CCTV actually wants to conduct an exclusive interview with itself?
Wan Sheng thought about it carefully and finally nodded in agreement.
This kind of opportunity is rare to get an exclusive interview with CCTV. Even if you lead the team well in the Premier League, it is not easy for the domestic media industry to be on CCTV. If you can show off your face on CCTV, it will be very beneficial to increase your reputation in China and establish a positive image.
