Chapter 101 The buried player
The players in Derby County were holding on to their strength to perform well.
The frustration in the first half made them angry. They were obviously a stronger team, but they were caught off guard by Alkmaar. They admitted that they were a little careless, but they didn't want to lose to Alkmaar like this.
At the same time, they didn't want to be replaced by the head coach, which was really embarrassing. This was also related to the list of the next battle with Chelsea, so they tried their best to perform.
Wan Sheng is a person who does what he says. The club is very clear about it, so no one will suspect that as long as he is replaced, the next game will definitely not be able to be in the roster. Even if you want to enter the roster, it depends on the coach's mood. This is a direct threat, but it is very useful because no player does not want to participate in the next game.
As a result, when they arrived on the court, they immediately showed their strength, which made Alkmaar see a Derby County, which is completely different from the first half.
Alkmaar has prepared a lot for this game. Head coach Adriansé has conducted in-depth research on Derby County and even gave up a Eredivisie game to deal with this away game. It is precisely because of this that Alkmaar performed so well in the game.
Alkmaar's players also attach great importance to the game. They do not look down on Derby at all, because they all know that this Derby is currently ranked second in the Premier League, while they are only ranked third in the Eredivisie. There is still a big gap with Eindhoven, the first place. The two leagues are much different in the level, and their rankings are not as good as Derby. In comparison, Alkmaar's strength is naturally not as good as Derby.
But this is the European Cup, where two games determine the winner and lose, and it is naturally not determined by the league results. The league results can only make them clear about the strength of the two teams.
Alkmaar knew very well that if he wanted to defeat Derby County, he had to do his best.
They did this and the result was also very good. They scored a goal in the first half and led Derby County. This score was perfect for the away match, so head coach Adriansey directly asked the team to strengthen defense during the break.
With a goal advantage, strengthening defense and limiting the opponent's offense, it is enough to defend the advantage. If there is a chance, Alkmaar would not mind using counterattacks to widen the score gap.
But in the second half, the Alkmaar players felt that Derby County was different.
The opponent is different from the first half. The Derby team played a bit chaotic in the first half. There are often minor mistakes in the game. The defense is not very strict and the offense is not very threatening. But now this Derby team seems to have all these "defaults" are gone. Their full-game pressing is very troublesome. It's fine if it's just that, their offense is still very targeted. Whether it's frequent insertion of the two sides or the exquisite passing cooperation in the middle, it makes Alkmaar players extremely troublesome to defend.
As a result, Derby County found a good opportunity when they were not careful.
This was a mid-range push attack. The football kept passing the ball to each other around Morris. Morris cooperated with his teammates for three consecutive passes. In the attack connection, the football had been passed to Ivan Krue on the right.
Alkmaar didn't care much about Ivan Kru. In fact, whether it was the study of Derby County before the game or the experience of Alkmaar players in the game, they didn't think Ivan Kru was a player who needed to focus on defense. But this time Ivan Kru did not pass the ball to his teammates. Instead, he dribbled the ball and directly broke through Alkmaar's defensive player, and then suddenly tangled across the middle to complete a fatal pass in the corner of the penalty area.
The football flew past two Alkmaar defensive players and appeared directly in front of Rusi on the left!
This is a large-scale pass cooperation between left and right paths!
Alkmaar's defense line was almost torn apart in an instant. Their defense center was still on the side of Ivan Kru. In a blink of an eye, the football went to the other side, which made their entire formation a little panicked. In the chaos, Russi pushed the ball to Morris again, and Morris dribbled the ball into the penalty area. He directly completed a shot straight to the far corner.
"Morris' shot!!"
The live commentator Alfie exclaimed suddenly, and then his voice became excited, "The ball is in! The ball is in! gooal! Morris! Morris! He helped Derby equalize the score!"
"Let's see"
With the commentator's words, the large screen on the scene has begun to play slow motion. "Derby County has completed a series of exquisite cooperation, and the football is constantly passing around Morris. In front of the shot, Morris has touched the ball four times, and Derby County has made a total of 11 passes!"
“That’s so wonderful!”
"This offense, Derby County showed an extraordinary state. Their frontcourt coordination was extremely smooth. I don't know how long it took to see such an offense." Alfie said this, obviously to emphasize the role of Morris. Sure enough, he focused on Morris. "Moris has been recovering from injury since Christmas, which affected the team. Fortunately, Wan Sheng has a strong ability to lead the team. Even if Morris is not there, the team has achieved good results, and Morris' comeback has helped the team win the FA Cup championship!"
"This offense just now also illustrates Morris' role in the team's offense. He is the core of the team, and the passing cooperation is all around him."
Perhaps a more accurate description is that Morris is the core player in the organization of offense. It is his organization that allows the team to play such exquisite cooperation smoothly. Of course, for fans, there is no difference in the meaning of the two. In short, Morris is very important in the team.
And the goal just now was scored by Morris, so how could the fans not cheer for him?
The score was rewritten on the spot, and fans shouting Morris' name could be seen everywhere in the audience. Morris became the only star in the game. Morris was also surrounded by his teammates on the field, and everyone rushed to hug and celebrate with Morris.
"Great! Lee!"
“Beautiful job!”
"We're going to score another goal next! Kill them together!"
""
Wan Sheng looked at the players on the court and smiled.
He was very satisfied with the goal just now. He knew Morris' ability very well and was not too surprised that the team could play such a delicate cooperation. However, he felt that the goal was more due to Ivan Krue.
Morris's organizational role is irreplaceable, but Ivan Krue's horizontal transfer is also a stroke of knowledge. This pass almost directly disrupted Alkmaar's defense, allowing Morris on the right to find an opportunity, otherwise he would not have broken through to the penalty area and shot.
Although everyone involved in the offense has an effect on the goal, but the effect is different. Morris and Ivan Kruy are both irreplaceable for this goal just now. Others are not so important because other players can do what they do.
It is the irreplaceable player who is called the "master of goals".
What he was most satisfied with in this goal was that he saw Ivan Kreu's growth. Two seasons ago, Ivan Kreu was just a substitute who had a hard time playing. He was a substitute in the second division, not the substitute in Derby County now.
Ivan Kruen's current strength is definitely inseparable from his efforts over the past two years.
This is what Wansheng is most satisfied with.
Of course, it is also satisfying to tie the score. This means that the team can continue to work hard in the next time and strive to overtake the score. This goal also gives the team more confidence and fighting spirit. Wan Sheng believes that the team will perform better in the future.
The same is true.
Next, Derby County carried the goal power and bombarded Alkmaer in the first half. At this time, Alkmaer's defense was no longer airtight, but instead had frequent loopholes.
After all, Alkmaar is not a giant team, and their lineup is not gorgeous. The team can achieve good results because of the construction of head coach Adriansse for several years.
A capable head coach will build a club for a few years. It will naturally stabilize the team's strength. Alkmaar also rose in this way. In a few years, the cooperation between players has become extremely tacit and become more skillful in using tactics. Because of this, Alkmaar can achieve good results.
A team is like a car, even if the parts of the world's top technology are blocked, it will naturally affect the speed of the car; on the contrary, it is all ordinary parts, making all components run smoothly, and the car's speed will become very fast.
Of course, the above examples do not seem to be very appropriate. But that's what it means. In short, Alkmaar has built up his strength after several years. But in short, their players are generally not very strong, and most of them are local Dutch players.
When facing the bombardment of Derby County, the problem of insufficient players' ability is revealed.
Alkmaar's goal is at stake!
Anyone who watches the game can see this. At this time, Alkmaar has frequent crises and has no power to fight back. The only thing they can do is to delay Derby County's goal time. In this process, Alkmaar's defender performed extremely well, and he even attracted more attention than Morris, who performed well on the court.
He is Johns Matison!
"No. 6? Johns Mattyson? Who is this?"
Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and stared at a figure behind Alkmaar, feeling a little inexplicable. Johns Matison? He had no impression of this name at all, but at this time he was the best player in the game, because he blocked Derby County's goals three times in a row, and once he directly blocked Bolton Reit's shot with his body. Such a performance was so eye-catching.
Wan Sheng used the "Eye of Strength Assessment" to watch the player's strength evaluation and found that the player's strength is very good. The strength evaluation is in the yellow stage. According to the color, his overall ability evaluation is no less than 85.
This central defender with talent evaluation data is definitely the world's top.
But surprisingly, he is just Alkmaar's central defender and is almost 25 years old. Especially when he doesn't have the impression of this player in his mind, that is, this player probably won't do much in the future.
This should be a player with underestimated strength and buried. (To be continued.)
