David Moyes knew that the next game would be difficult, but what he didn't expect was that Ribery's goal would have an impact on Everton not only because of the backwardness in the score, but also a morale blow. If he played against other teams, Everton's morale would be lower, but the impact would not be too great. After all, it is normal for football games to fall behind. As a professional player, he would not be so fragile.

Can Derbyshire is different.

This is not the first time Everton has played against Derby County. After coaching Derby County in Wansheng, the two teams have played twice. This is the third time. Everton lost both of the first two matches, and the game was very difficult. During the first match, Derby County was even in the second division. Even in that case, Everton still lost. It is conceivable that Everton is facing Derby County's mentality again.

The main lineup of Everton has basically not changed from last season. The only change is forward Cahill or the ‘former Derby County player’. Because there is no change, when Ribery scored a goal, many players felt that it was really difficult for the team to win.

This idea made the entire team look weak. Fortunately, the Derby County offense is not as fierce as before, and the pressure they have to face will not be too great.

At this time, the Everton fans at Goodison Park were silent.

They were all a little disappointed when they saw Derby County score the first goal. The team had so much ball possession rate and attacked so many times, but the opponent was still the one who scored the first goal. In addition to disappointment, Everton fans also hope that the team can rise up and perform well and strive to equalize the score.

With this expectation, Everton fans gradually shouted slogans that they had for the team.

But they were disappointed.

As the game continued, Everton could not achieve any results in offense for a long time. It was obvious that the opponent's defense was very strict. What's more, the opponent's offense was also very sharp, especially when there was a chance to counterattack. Every time it made Everton fans worried about their own goal.

Under such circumstances, the stadium cheered for Everton gradually became much less and less.

Neither team was able to score again in the first half. In the second half, Everton strengthened the offensive again. They overcame half and almost bombarded the penalty area around Derby County. In this way, Derby County's goal became much more dangerous.

They are trying to win the score at the beginning of the second half.

Seeing Everton's style of play, Wan Sheng was also very impressed by David Moyes. This is a very dangerous tactic, but if you fight, Everton really can equalize the score. If you don't fight, Everton will probably be consumed by Derby County until the end of the game, because it is very difficult for them to rely on a head-on offensive to score goals. If the game is spoken by numbers, if the game continues like this, Everton will tie the score in the second half. No more than 30%, the rest will be Derby County. Even if Derby County cannot continue to score, one goal is enough to make the team win.

David Moyes celebrated this. So he chose to try harder.

There is still a chance to try hard, but Everton's defense will become more dangerous. The next thing will depend on the performance of the players on the two teams.

It's obvious that luck is not on Everton's side today.

After Cahill failed to score the ball with a volley, Derby County counterattacked again. After receiving the pass in the midfield, Van der Fate drifted past Stabbs and dribbled the ball into Everton's penalty area. He pushed the ball against defender Kilbani and hung the ball into Everton's goal.

0:2!

This goal made the Everton fans silent and also made Derby County fans excited. It was not only for the score, but also for Van der Fate's performance. After receiving the pass in the midfield, he almost completed one-stop alone, completing it from the center line to the shot alone.

Although this is because Everton has put in a big push and his defense is lax, it is also very impressive.

......

0:2, the outcome has been decided!

With less than twenty minutes left in the game, it is definitely impossible to say that Everton has no chance at all, but the head coaches of both teams know that Everton has fewer opportunities.

Tactical, Derby County focuses on defense, so Everton does not put a big push, so it is difficult to find an opportunity; in terms of fighting spirit, the morale of the entire Derby County team is boosted, while in terms of Everton, even head coach David Moyes does not have much confidence; in terms of strength, Derby County is not worse than Everton.

Derby County has various advantages, and Everton wants to catch up with the score again, unless he is waiting for a miracle to happen.

Miracles are not easy to happen...and miracles often appear on the prepared side. Now Everton has lost his fighting spirit, so how could they create any miracles?

Even head coach David Moyes himself doesn't believe it.

David Moyes knew very well that he would lose this game. A very important point was that he did not expect Derby County to focus on defense. From the beginning, he looked like he was playing defensively and counterattacked, which was equivalent to giving more possession to Everton. They used their fast counterattack to threaten Everton's goal again and again. Faced with this tactic, David Moyes could not think of a solution for a while. It can be said that Derby County played surprisingly hard.

The other thing is that he has a little underestimated Derby County.

He originally thought that if he lost Morris, Derby County's morale and strength would be greatly affected. As a result, the entire Derby County team was still full of fighting spirit, and everyone on the field was trying their best to perform.

Anyway, he had a little underestimated Derby County.

Thinking of this, David Moyes looked at Wan Sheng in a complicated manner. He knew that he had lost to this young man. Three matches and three failures, he almost watched the young Chinese bring an ordinary team in the second division to the Premier League schedule and achieve excellent results.

And he was defeated.

......

In the end, the two teams ended the game 0:2, and Derby County eliminated Everton to advance to the semi-finals of the League Cup.

After the game, Wan Sheng shook hands politely with David Moyes, and both of them were still smiling, as if they were completely unwilling to care about the outcome of the game. But when the two of them held their hands together, David Moyes said, "You won this time, but it won't be the next time."

Wansheng responded, "I'm looking forward to it."

“Yes.”

The two of them didn't say a few words, but they still had a lot of gunpowder, but both of them maintained their demeanor, and their expressions had not changed. When they turned around, they all cursed in their hearts. "Old fox."

After that, Wan Sheng didn't care about how David Moyes was like, but instead he felt a little funny.

If you win, what will the other party say?

Now it's a victory!

If you win, you should celebrate, just like those players and fans, instead of playing psychological warfare with the opponent's coach, or thinking about post-match matters... Thinking of this, Wan Sheng suddenly sighed, "I'm old!"

Diamares stood aside and was really stunned when he heard this.

Are you old?

You are less than 28 years old...If you are old, then what am I? I am old enough to go to heaven?

......

After playing the League Cup quarterfinals against Everton, the media's voices were much lower. Many media previously believed that before Christmas, it would be a watershed and Derby County would face severe tests of injuries. In this case, in order to adapt to the "at least two-line battles", Derby County would definitely adopt a certain rotation. Even so, when facing the intensive schedule of Christmas, Derby County would be unable to do so, so its results would definitely be greatly affected.

But Derby County won over Everton and they couldn't continue to say anything.

Regardless of whether there will be a crisis in Derby County in the future, at least for now, they have no problem. They won Everton in two goals. Although they played a little passively, it would be quite good to win in the away game. In this way, fans will not recognize Derby County's crisis or something.

So the media's voices were much lower. The media's reports on Derby County also tended to speculate on what kind of recruitment Derby County would be if it would be in winter transfers.

This is a question right now, so all kinds of rumors emerge.

Derby County is still very attractive to players, which is mainly due to Derby County's very good performance. Another point is that Wan Sheng is still very charming. He basically created all Derby County's staff. Many young players in the team are not famous in the top league, but they have performed well and have gained some fame.

This alone is enough to attract young players to join.

In the eyes of many young players, especially those with "promising" young players, Derby County is more attractive than Arsenal. Although Wenger is known as a "professor", young players usually need to spend some time in the Arsenal reserve team or youth team to perform well before they can enter the first team and find opportunities to play.

Derbyshire is different.

Any young players bought by Wan Sheng are directly included in the first team and can start in the top league directly, such as Lichsteiner and Vidic who came in the summer. Other young players are promoted from the second league with Derby County. I have never heard of any young player leaving the team because of insufficient strength, so Derby County is still very attractive to young players.

But that's all.

For players who are already well-known, Derby County is not attractive at all. The most important thing is that Derby County's salary is a bit lower than the entire Premier League. If a famous player wants to transfer, he must hope that his salary will increase. Derby County obviously cannot meet this point, so it is not easy for the media to analyze that Wan Sheng wants to add powerful players.

But in fact, what they didn't know was that Wansheng had no plan to supplement the players.

The winter transfer can indeed replenish players. The club's general manager Wilcox also prepared 2 million pounds for him to buy players. This money is naturally nothing compared to a capable star, but he can always buy two substitutes who can play, but Wan Sheng still refused.

The reason is very simple. Now that buying two players is difficult to integrate into the team.

The 'os-fast' tactical system currently adopted by the team is not something that players can adapt to by knowing a name or a concept. For many long periods of adaptation, they also require abundant physical support, how to run, how to cooperate, etc. A new player joins the team and many things need to adapt to. Derby County is not a year ago, and it is not something that players can quickly integrate with the strength.

In winter, it takes at least two or three months to adapt to the team. This speed is quite fast. After all, the team cannot train overall tactical skills because of new players. They can only train with the team. Under normal circumstances, it would be good for ordinary players to adapt in three months. After three months of adaptation, it is already the end of March or even April. By then, the intensive Christmas schedule period has long passed, which means that buying new players has no effect at all. What's more, you can't buy any good players even if you £2 million. It is difficult for players who trade in winter to have really outstanding players.

What we need to deal with is the intensive Christmas schedule. If a winter transfer cannot be helpful, buying new players will not work, so there is naturally no need to waste energy on it.

All Wansheng needs to do is to mobilize the club to welcome every game that is coming with high fighting spirit, better arrange restorative training, pay attention to the physical and mental state of each team, maintain the team's condition, and minimize accidents and injuries as much as possible.
