While Derby County players celebrated their entire lives, Manchester United coach Ferguson's brows were already frowning. He never expected that Derby County would score the first goal. ◇↓

Now he feels very annoyed.

If he were in normal times, he would definitely scold, scold, and vent the players on the court. This is also the reason why many Manchester United players are afraid of Ferguson - his yell is really scary, but Ferguson has no way to vent, mainly because this goal just now is really hard to blame his players.

This goal was a perfect match for Derby County. It was not that there was any problem with Manchester United's defense, but that Derby County played very well.

Leiden Bynes's shot was blocked by O'Shea. It was a very good defense. Then the football fell at Ziegler's feet. It can only be said that Derby County is lucky. Ziegler's performance was very good. He directly swept past the careless Roy Keane, and then his pass found Morris. Morris's performance in the penalty area was as good as a general. Even if O'Sheaaa is excellent, it is normal to be deceived. Ivan Kreu inserted it very timely, so he scored this goal.

If you want to talk about which Manchester United player did not perform well during the period, you must be talking about Roy Keane.

But the key is... Keane is the captain of Manchester United.

Even if Ferguson was dissatisfied with Roy Keane's performance just now, it would be absolutely unwise to scold the captain on the field during the game. What's more, Keane has been playing for Manchester United for eleven years. Ferguson is very familiar with Keane, and Keane also knows Ferguson very well. Many times, even Ferguson doesn't need to say anything about Ferguson, Keane understands what he means. Moreover, Keane has always worked very hard in the game and is rarely a veteran who can maintain his form, so Ferguson is angry and can only hold it in his heart.

But the situation on the field is not optimistic.

Ferguson never expected Derby County to score the first goal. In fact, he was still sure of this game, especially Derby County's core players - Van der Fate and Ribery, did not play. In this case, Derby County's offense is difficult to threaten Manchester United's goal, and Manchester United can completely let go of their hands to attack.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Derby County could perform so well.

The opponent scored the first goal, and the first half was about to end. Manchester United obviously had to return to the locker room with a goal behind. This situation was very unfavorable to Manchester United.

But there was not much time in the first half, and Ferguson could only do whatever he wanted to do.

......

The same as Ferguson thought. When the game started again, Derby County began to focus on defense. As a result, Manchester United attacked for a long time in the following time and failed to break through the Derby County goal. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was still 1:0, and Derby County led Manchester United with one goal.

The two teams returned to the locker room to rest.

The whole Derby County was very happy, and the same was true for Wan Sheng, who was able to enter the midfield with the leading score. This was better for Derby County, so the atmosphere for the entire Derby County team was relaxed.

However, Wan Sheng still reminds everyone to play seriously in the second half and do more tactical defense.

If you think you can beat Manchester United with one goal, you'd be wrong. Even if the whole team defends, Wan Sheng is not sure that the team can hold the goal for 45 minutes, so you must be serious about the second half.

The halftime break ended soon. The two teams played again and started the game.

During the break, the media and fans were talking about the game. The score was very beneficial to Derby County, but some media still believed that it was not easy for Derby County to win. After all, Manchester United achieved absolute suppression against Derby County in the first half, and Derby County could not always play such a perfect cooperation. For Derby County, the most important thing is to defend well.

The views of these media are the same as those of Wansheng.

Wan Sheng arranged the second half with caution. He was also very serious when watching the game in the coach's seat, but what he didn't expect was that at the beginning of the second half, an accident happened - when Morris was grabbing the ball near the center circle, he had a physical collision with Roy Keane, and both of them fell to the ground. As a result, Roy Keane stood up as if nothing had happened. Morris was lying on the grass with his right leg in his face full of pain.

Wan Sheng stood up in shock.

The referee rushed over and checked Morris's situation. He immediately waved his hand to signal the stretcher to enter the field. Morris was carried down. Wan Sheng had no time to ask Morris's situation, so he could only let Peter Kennedy replace Morris.

Morris' injury was still a big blow to Derby County.

Not only morale, Morris is the offensive core of the team, and can also be called half of the core in defense. With Morris, the midfield is more than one strong in interception and counterattack ability. Many players on the court often look at Morris' position when running. Morris's importance to the team is unquestionable. Because of this, when the game against Manchester United, Wan Victory allowed Van der Fate and Ribery to rotate, but he never considered letting Morris rest for a round. As long as Morris is on the court, the team has a chance to win.

But Morris was injured and he could only send Peter Kennedy to substitute.

Peter Kennedy's ability is pretty good. Compared with Morris, he is not much worse in personal ability, but in terms of spiritual attributes such as the overall situation, the two have no comparison. The spiritual attributes directly affect the performance of the game and their role on the whole team. The two of them have not much different abilities. However, on the court, both Peter Kennedys were difficult to match. Morris' role in the whole team is much more important than his personal ability.

Wan Sheng was very clear about the situation between the two, so after Morris left the court, he hurriedly directed the team to strengthen the defense.

As for offense, counterattack, etc., it’s better to wait until the stable state before considering it. The most important thing is defense. If you can defend until the last moment of the game, you can win. If you can’t defend the goal and fight with Manchester United without Morris, it will probably be difficult to guarantee a draw.

......

Manchester United also knew that Morris would have a significant impact on Derby County, but they did not expect the impact to be so great. In the next game, Derby County would find it difficult to attack, and they were basically defending and could not even play half-time football.

Fortunately, the team's defense is doing well.

At this time, Derby County's most performing players were center backs Vidic and Alfred, who partnered with central defenders. Both were not old, one was 23 years old and the other was 21 years old, but their defense made Derby County's penalty area very stable. Many times Manchester United hit the ball into the penalty area and were directly destroyed. Under the defense of the two, Dutch shooter Van Nie has not performed much until now.

It was another Manchester United attack, and the football was passed to Van Nie's feet, which was quite threatening to the Derby County goal. But the next moment, Vidic appeared in Van Nie's frontcourt, squeezing Van Nie with his ball and cleared the ball directly from the sideline.

"Derby County cleared the ball out of the penalty area!"

The live commentator Alfie shouted, "It's Vidic! This Serbian player came to Derby County in the summer. He started as a substitute central defender, but in recent times, he has started a lot. The team's three central defenders, Marcus Alfred and Vidic started in turn. So far, Vidic's position has been very stable. He is the genius defender second only to Alfred!"

While praising Vidic, Alfie compared him with Alfred. From his words, he thought Vidic performed well, but Alfred was even better. One reason was that Alfred had been in Derby County for a long time. He had proved himself with his performance, and the other was that Alfred was a local player in the Greater Derby County. He was two years younger than Vidic, and local fans of Derby County naturally liked Alfred more.

However, it is really hard to say which of the two is stronger, that is, Wan Sheng has an accurate answer.

Compared with Alfred, Vidic is almost the same in terms of personal attributes. In the football training master system, in the comprehensive evaluation of player abilities, Vidic is ‘84’ and Alfred is ‘85’. Both of them have very good data, and there is not much difference.

It seems that compared to Morris's comprehensive evaluation of 89 and Van der Fate 92, there is a gap in the data between the two, but the comprehensive attribute evaluation of defenders is already lower. This is because defenders have a considerable gap with frontcourt players in terms of offensive ability. Even if the frontcourt players rarely participate in defense, a professional player will pass the defense ability. In short, the comprehensive evaluation of around 85 is not low. This can be a main central defender of a strong team. Even if it is Manchester United's central defender and the most valuable English defender, Leo Ferdinand, has a yellow level (80-90), and it is already quite excellent to reach around 84.

The data is similar, and it depends on talent when looking at it again. Vidic is stronger in this regard.

Alfred has been training under Wan Sheng for nearly two years. After so long training, his ability to improve quickly has been almost improved. He has even been improved to a level close to his potential in many attributes, such as physical confrontation, steals, etc. In other words, it is very difficult for Alfred to make a big improvement. On the contrary, Viddie has just been in Derby County for half a year, and he still has a lot of room for improvement in many personal ability attributes.

So Vidic is still better than Alfred.

However, nowadays, Alfred is still better. His ability attributes are higher than Vidic and he has more experience in the English League. Although Vidic is two years older than Alfred, he has been playing in the Serbian minor league before and has no experience in the English League at all, so he is naturally not as good as Alfred.

But to be honest, both of them can be attributed to the "rookie" level of the professional league. After all, both of them have just entered the top league and their game experience is actually not very strong. They can defend Van Nie on the court and perform very well in defense. The reason is summarized in Wan Sheng.

Having good abilities, coupled with Wan Sheng's various defensive skills and attribute bonuses... It would be really strange if they performed poorly. Therefore, although Wan Sheng was very satisfied with the two of them's defensive performance, he was not surprised at all.

Of course, Wansheng is not surprised, but others are surprised.

For example, in those media, many media commentators are now praising Vidic and Alfred when talking about the game. It is obvious that their defense has played a key role in Derby County defending the goal. Moreover, they are not old and are definitely worthy of praise.

Some media even asserted that "these two defenders in Derby County will become popular products in the transfer market next summer..."

This is recognized by many people.

For fans, ordinary players pay more attention to the "stars" in the transfer market, such as Michael Irving, Robben, and Wayne Rooney in the summer. The transfers of these frontcourt stars are very eye-catching, but as a football club, the ones they lack most are defensive players, especially central defenders. In the transfer market, there are many players who can score goals in the frontcourt. For example, Aston Villa's star Defoe is a player with guaranteed goal efficiency, but Aston Villa even decided to directly terminate Defoe's contract for the club's economy. Other teams want to get Defoe. There is no need to pay a penny of transfer fee.

In the transfer market, there are very few good defenders, not to mention excellent young central defenders. In a few years, the whole of England produced a Rio Ferdinand. When he joined Manchester United in 2002, his net worth had reached 30 million pounds, and this net worth also set the world's highest record for defenders' value.

It is difficult for Vidic and Alfred to compare with the "Leeds United Captain" back then, but there are definitely many clubs who want to get them. This will ensure that the defense is stable within a few years.

Derby County has two talented centre-backs, which is still very enviable, but it is not easy to completely defend the goal just by thinking about this.

Manchester United's offensive continues.

After 31 minutes of the second half, Manchester United still broke through the goal of Karachi's handle. The goal was midfielder Scholes. When Van Nie was restricted from defending, Giggs inserted the ball on the wing and passed the ball to Scholes. Scholes hung the ball into the far corner on the right side of the penalty area.

"1:1, Manchester United equalized the score!"

Seeing Manchester United scored, Wan Sheng felt quite helpless. After Morris left the court, the team obviously had a big gap in strength with Manchester United. It was really not easy to defend the goal completely. It was already very good to be able to hold it for such a long time.

Next, Wan Sheng continued to arrange defense, replaced Marcus, added a central defender, and restricted Manchester United's offensive against the middle.

Marcus's appearance was still very good, which made it more difficult for Manchester United to score goals. Under the solid defense of three central defenders, Manchester United failed to score again.

When the referee blew the whistle of the game, the score on the scoreboard was still 1:1.

Derby County held the draw hard at home.

......

He got a draw against Manchester United, and the result was acceptable, but Wan Sheng was not in the mood to consider the result after the game, so he was more concerned about Morris' injury.

After a temporary diagnosis by the team doctor, Morris was still seriously injured, but he was sent directly to the Greater Derby County Hospital for detailed examinations.

Wan Sheng hurriedly attended the press conference, left on an excuse without saying a few words, and went directly to the hospital to find out the situation.

One hour later, the detailed diagnosis was released - Morris's calf muscle strain and a tear in a certain condition. He needed at least three months of restoration before he could fully recover.

"Three months..." Wan Sheng calculated, "Even if you do restorative training, it will take at least two months..."

He could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

The intensive schedule after Christmas is the most critical for the team, and Morris is also the most important player of the team. Wan Sheng would rather be injured than Morris... Of course, there is no substitutability, but Morris' importance to the team is undoubtedly. He will definitely miss the difficult schedule after Christmas.

Wan Sheng was a little upset about his carelessness. He thought things too ideally.

Several players on the team often start and play the whole game. He originally thought that with the restorative training task as a guarantee, the team could cope with intensive fields, but obviously the players still need to rest. Continuous games are not only physically but also mentally.

In order to win over Manchester United, he did not consider letting Morris have a quit.

Morris is injured now.

Although he always knew that injuries were inevitable, he still felt anxious when the situation really happened, but anxiety obviously would not have any effect. Wan Sheng calmed down his mind, entered the ward to visit Morris, and told him to take a good rest. Then he returned to the club and began to study strategies for dealing with Everton.
