Everton and Derby County actually have something in common, that is, in the summer, the media does not have much hope for what good results Everton can achieve, because Everton did not supplement his strength and also sold the team's most promising young star Wayne Rooney. ⊙

Wayne Rooney was sold for a high price of 27 million pounds. This money is enough to improve the Everton club's economy and even enough to allow head coach David Moyes to supplement the team's lineup. Unfortunately, it was already September when the deal between Manchester United and Everton was completed. The league had three rounds, and the transfer window was closed within two days. It was said that David Moyes had really experienced the embarrassment that even if he had money, he could not spend it.

Because of this, the media is not optimistic about Everton.

But Everton's results are surprising. Nearly half a season has ended, and they are only behind Manchester United and ranked fifth in the league.

David Moyes led the team to achieve such results relying on the original team from last season. The only signing can only mention the Australian striker Cahill bought from Derbyshire. Cahill performed well in Everton, but compared to Derbyshire, he was able to score in the second division scorer and help the team score consecutive goals in the FA Cup, and even scored Manchester United goals.

So far, Cahill has scored 5 goals in the league. This goal data is not bad for the striker who has just entered the Premier League. After all, he has only played 11 times in the league. However, compared with some teammates who are still in Derby County, the number of goals is nothing. Even the full-back Leiden Bynes can score equals his goals, not to mention Ivan Crew, Morris and others. He is even less likely to be worse than Van der Fate who replaced him.

Because of this, before the match between Derbyshire and Everton, many Derbyshire supporters gloated when they mentioned Cahill.

"He chose to leave Derby County and scored less than a full-back!"

"Luckily he left, otherwise we wouldn't have Van der Fate!"

“Van der Fat is much better than Cahill!”

"Maybe Cahill has the strength, but it is wrong for him to choose to leave. Moyes is not as good as Wansheng's ability to use people..."

The last statement has been confirmed a lot, but in fact, Wan Sheng knew that Cahill was indeed not as good as Van der Fate, but as a striker shooter, his strength and mentality are quite good, which is certain. However, when Everton comes, he does not have various coaching skills bonuses, and he is kicked out of the staff union, and his strength will decline a little. Naturally, he becomes an "ordinary player".

In this case, Cahill can score five goals in half a season, which is enough to prove his excellence.

But no matter how outstanding he is, he is not his own player. Now he has become an Everton player. When he left so resolutely, Wan Sheng would not be "consider the old love" or something. After all, this is the world of football. Professional players themselves are competitive, so he cannot hope that the players of other teams will perform well.

Before the game against Everton, Wan Sheng's main job was to let the team conduct tactical training.

The direction of tactical training has changed now. The team's tactical training before was mainly conducted with some small cooperation training, but now Wan Sheng is in training. The team is more required to defend - defensive position, defensive cooperation, defensive formation, when to run, how to make up for defense, etc. The temporary response in these aspects is still very critical in the game.

Wansheng's purpose is to make the team's defensive ability stronger.

This is the same as previous training. It is a long-term job, but with the bonus of ‘collaborative’ skills, the team’s tactical training is still very adaptable.

In this process, Wansheng is also improving his coaching literacy.

As the team's training became more and more refined and technical, Wan Sheng felt more and more inexperienced. When he first started coaching, he felt that it was not difficult to be a head coach. He quickly adapted to work and his team's results were quite good. But now he discovered the gap between himself and those top coaches, that is, his lack of experience and knowledge cannot be compared.

Those old coaches who have professional players or have coached for more than ten years or even decades have a lot of experience and naturally have a lot of experience. With so much time to accumulate knowledge in all aspects of football, they will also have a lot of knowledge.

A thousand wins are different.

He has only been the head coach for less than two years. In such a short period of time, except for some "theoretical" knowledge, there is actually not much real practice.

So while leading the team for tactical training, the team's strength improved, and he himself was in a process of constantly accumulating knowledge.

However, Wansheng still likes to stay in the office and think about something.

The biggest help to Wansheng is not to train with the team, but to think alone, especially to think about some tactics and game issues with the "design of troops" interface of the football training master system.

In the 'Strait and Arrangement System, when a player's position is adjusted, the team's offensive and defensive ability evaluation immediately changes, either more or less, and based on the player's attributes and abilities, he will think about why there is such a change.

In addition, sometimes after some adjustments are made, offensive or defensive evaluations will be greatly improved. What is the reason for this change?

He will think carefully.

This involves all aspects of player abilities and tactical changes.

Whenever he figures out a problem, he then combines it to make some adjustments to the team's tactics and practices the role of this adjustment on the training ground. In this way, while strengthening the team, Wan Sheng will also feel that he has learned new things.

This is the progress of the whole team and his personal progress.

However, this work is long-term and has a lot to do with the issues he needs to study for a master's degree. Wan Sheng is just doing it in his spare time, and he still has to deal with one game after another.

Soon Derbyshire and Everton's League Cup quarter-finals are approaching.

......

Everton's coach is David Moyes. He has played against Wan Sheng twice and both lost the game. However, this time Moyes is confident. One is that Derby County is in bad condition recently, and their core Morris is injured and unable to play. The other is that Everton is in very good shape. He is in good shape in the league.

One rises and the other falls, so Everton is naturally very beneficial.

In addition, Moyes also believes that Derby County is likely to give up the League Cup.

This is the result of rational analysis.

Currently, Derby County has leagues, League Cup and League Cup. After Christmas, the FA Cup is about to start again. With Derby County's ability, it is impossible to deal with the fourth-line battle. Especially now, their midfielder Morris is injured and is said to have to be on standby for at least three months, which will definitely have a significant impact on Derby County. So they will inevitably give up some games.

A sensible head coach would do this.

In Morris's view, Wan Sheng must be a rational coach, otherwise he would not lead the team to achieve such good results. Since that is the case, giving up the League Cup is an inevitable choice, because the League cannot give up. The League Cup is a European event and can bring some benefits to the Derby County Club, but it cannot give up. In contrast, the League Cup is like a waste of money. Even if you win the League Cup, how much real benefits can you get? 2 million pounds? 1 million pounds? or even less?

So Derbyshire is a very likely choice to give up the League Cup.

However, Morris will not focus on his opponents giving up the game. He still deals with the game very seriously. The League Cup is something Everton wants to fight for. Although this event is a bit useless, why is it an honor? For Everton, the Cup honor is also good. After all, they do not have the qualifications to participate in European competitions, and the league champion can only "dream" to think about it.

The outside media also think so.

Many media reported that Derby County may not send all the main players. They did not mention that Wansheng would give up the League Cup, but not sending all the main players is equivalent to giving up the League Cup. After all, no one can expect Derby County to have a half-substitute lineup to defeat Everton at Goodson Park Stadium?

Even if Derby County does not give up the League Cup and sends all the main players, the media is not optimistic about them, because Morris is injured and loses this midfielder. If he deals with Everton in a brave state, Derby County's winning rate will not be high.

In short, the public opinion before the game was still biased towards Everton.

The coaches of the two teams do not take public opinion seriously. At the pre-match press conference, neither Wan Sheng nor David Moyes mentioned the victory or defeat of the game. They just talked about the recent situation of the team, and the questions of media reporters also revolved around this.

Although the two teams have fought twice, in fact, there has been no grudges in history between the two teams, so there was no war of words or anything like that before the game. Instead, David Moyes walked out of the venue with Wan Sheng talking and laughing.

The same goes for the court. The two head coaches stood in front of the front and shook hands with a smile. Although they are now opponents, from the surface, they are still very kind.

But it was completely different when the game started.

Both of them responded seriously and had no intention of being kind. David Moyes directed the team to attack at the beginning, and Everton directly acted like a head-on attack with Derby County, which surprised many people.

Now all England know that Derby County is very good at attacking, and their tactics are somewhat suppressive, and few players dare to attack head-on with Derby County.

Everton suffered losses twice before, and now he still has to do this? And it seems that he is doing it more resolutely!

In fact, David Moyes also has his own ideas.

He naturally knew that Derby County was good at attacking, and the defense of pressing the whole game was also very difficult. In addition, their offense was very fast, so they would often be caught off guard when facing the attack head-on, but this time he still had to play against Derby County, and his confidence was that Morris could not play.

If others were not aware of the importance of Morris to Derby County, but David Moyes had a very accurate vision and had a good understanding of Derby County when he played against Derby County twice. In addition, the team has a Cahill who knows some Derby County tactical routines. It can be said that among the head coaches of the other 19 teams in the Premier League, there is no one who knows Derby County better than him.

So he was very clear about the importance of Morris to Derby County. If he lost such a core midfielder, Derby County would be affected by some offense and defense.

The effect of this influence is like a strong man being replaced by a soul. The strong man is still a strong man, and his power does not change much, but the new soul always doesn't understand his own power. Even if he has power, he cannot exert 100%. Morris' injury will not be so great, but it is definitely not small.

With this judgment, David Moyes has the confidence to directly attack Derby County.

Although Derby County has sent all the main players who can be sent at present. This is a bit surprising, David Moyes has always had a smile on his face. This smile represents confidence. As the head coach, it represents his grasp of the game. He believes that the game will not be out of his own grasp, and naturally he is full of confidence in victory.

But ten minutes after the game started, David Moyes gradually put away his smile.

His face became much more serious.

The game on the court was as he imagined. Everton controlled the situation and spent most of the time at Everton players. However, the opponent's performance was different from what he imagined. Derby County did not go head-on with Everton. At the beginning, they focused on defense, and the formation was not too wide, so the defense in the backcourt was very tight, which made it very difficult for Everton to break through the defense line.

Everton players also found the offense very difficult.

Derby County's defense started from the midfield, from the center line to the front of the penalty area, which was the area where they had the most dense defense, and the football rolled around. However, it was difficult to break through this area in any case. After ten minutes of the game, they had a lot of ball control and a lot of offense. But they just couldn't play the advantage. They only had one long shot and no threatening ball at all, while the opponent's counterattack was very sharp. Every time Derby County got the ball, they rushed to retreat to defend, but Derby County's counterattack was too fast. Once, they were even attacked by the opponent in the penalty area. Fortunately, goalkeeper Richard Wright performed well and saved the ball directly, otherwise the score had been rewritten so far.

Although football is at Everton's feet most of the time, Everton has also achieved suppression on the scene, but after watching a game for a while, it feels like Everton is suppressed.

Wan Sheng sat on the coach's seat with a smile on his lips.

In this game, his tactics were very simple, which was to shrink the defense line a little, and then use fast attack and quick counterattack as the main means to find opportunities.

Fast attack and quick counterattack are all emphasized speed. Without gradual advancement, each attack will not last long. When the football is at Derby County, no matter whether the offense is successful or not, it will naturally return to Everton's feet quickly. In this way, Everton's possession rate will definitely be much higher, but this is just on the scene. Because the team's defense is very strict, it is difficult for Everton to break through the defense and find opportunities.

So Everton has the advantage on the scene, but they actually cannot have any advantages. The key is to look at the offensive efficiency of the two teams. The team ensures stability in defense. First, they win half of the victory, and then half of the attack and counterattack efficiency.

This win specifically allowed Bolton Reit to act as a single striker, with Van der Fate, Ribery and Weberson behind him as support. These players are all fast in the team. If there is a chance, the speed of several players will pose a great threat to Everton.

If the attack speed is fast, it will be difficult for the opponent to deal with it calmly, so naturally the opportunity will come.

The football game is about an opportunity. If you have a good opportunity and seize it, you can score goals. While stabilizing your defense, you can use your speed advantage to create. This is the Derby County style of playing.

The tactic is still ‘os-fast’.

All players in the team kept running to create intensive defense to limit their opponents. This is the basis of all the tactical routines in Derby County, but the offensive method has changed, which is faster than before. Although there are fewer methods of stable advancement, it really has an advantage.

This is what Wan Sheng thought of to deal with the next intensive schedule.

The tactic that focuses on defense is to ensure that you do not lose and have stable results as much as possible. At the same time, in cups and league cups and other events, you also try to ensure that you do not lose or advance naturally. In this kind of knockout match, you try to ensure that you do not lose or advance.

Now is the Cup event.

Obviously, Everton did not expect that Derby County, which is good at attacking, would devote their energy to defense. The extremely fast attack and counterattack caught them off guard.

The goal soon appeared.

This was a smooth cooperation made by Derby County using a fast break when the game reached the 21st minute. The offense led by Van der Fate made 7 consecutive quick passes on the left. Although there were not many 7 passes, the victory was fast. Everton was caught off guard by this continuous quick pass.

"Look! Derbyshire's fast attack!"

Even the commentator on the scene was amazed at this fast break, staring at the screen for a moment and murmured to speak. He saw Ribery on the left side of the penalty area get the ball. He subconsciously shouted, "Danger!"

Ribery ran out of the open space on the left side of the penalty area!

Everton was caught off guard and his defense was a little panicked. As a result, when Ribery got the ball, there was no one on the left and right. He took the opportunity to stop the ball and turn around and finish the shot directly!

This is a fatal blow!

The football flew straight into the near corner, goalkeeper Richardson Wright made the correct save, but the football flew through the goal between his hands.

The ball has entered!

"goooooooooal!!! Frank Ribery!!!"

"0:1!0:1! Derby County was the first to break the deadlock. This was in the 21st minute. Derby County used a very fast attack. After several passes, Ribery successfully sent the ball into Everton's goal!"

David Moyes was stunned!

When Ribery shot, he stood up directly from the coach's seat, his eyes were blank, watching the football fly into his own goal.

He was worried about the game just now, but he didn't expect Derby County to make such a fast and exquisite attack. The key is that the opponent also completed the goal.

In this way, the next game will be difficult to play. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
