Wan Sheng made the Dutch media gritted their teeth at the press conference. They couldn't figure out why this team's promoted Premier League team, whose team, who was beaten 1:1 by Alkmaar at home, had the confidence to say what would be the surefire to win.

They wanted to refute, but Wansheng ignored it at all.

So they could only hold their depression in their hearts and wait for the game to end, criticizing this "arrogant guy".

You said so sure before the game, what if Derby County fails?

What will you say then?

Many Dutch media reporters are thinking this way. Some of them even began to draft post-match reports. They think that although Derby County has a good performance in the English League, this is the European arena. To be honest, Alkmaar is much more experienced in the European competition than Derby County. At least they will have a chance to participate in the UEFA Cup in a few years.

Where is Derbyshire?

Haven't participated in it for decades!

What does Dutch media reporters think, Wan Sheng doesn’t care.

He said "must win", which is a way to express confidence and a strategy. If you want to say it, it is like tactics and strategy. No matter what, you must despise your opponent strategically. Alkmaer defends well? Alkmaer has experience in European battles? Alkmaer is strong?

But so what!

It's just a small team, Derby County is also a small team, but it's a small team from England, and this season it's still a strong team that can compete with Chelsea for the league championship!

In terms of tactics, Wan Sheng attaches great importance to his opponents.

Although Derby County did not have time to do targeted training, Wan Sheng made the most reasonable choice in the arrangement of the players and made some arrangements for Alkmaar. In addition, after returning to the locker room, Wan Sheng talked about the game to the players, which was completely different from the press conference.

"Guys! We can just draw Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and we didn't pull down points. The UEFA Cup is also what we want to fight for. Now I want to ask you guys, is there anyone of you who don't want this championship?"

Of course not.

All the players' eyes flashed with spirit.

Most of the players in the locker room are young players. These young players perform well, but in fact, they are just new players who have just participated in the professional arena and have no honor at all. For them, any honor is worth chasing, let alone the UEFA Cup.

The old players of those teams, such as Marcus, Morris and others, have never had the honor they have ever given, so they will naturally be more eager for champions. Ian Taylor is the legendary star of Aston Villa, but that's all.

Aston Villa has always been in the middle of the Premier League. He has won two League Cups in Aston Villa and then gone. In the two seasons in Derby County, he has won one League Cup, one FA Cup, the Community Shield Cup and one League One championship.

Ian Taylor, who was originally at the end of his career, received more honors in the two seasons he was about to retire than his glorious period of "Legend".

In short, everyone on the team is very eager for the championship!

"It seems you all want to win the championship!" Wan Sheng's smiling face became serious. "But what is blocking us now is Alkmaar. I think in the last round, you already know the difficulty of this opponent. The Dutch people even think that Alkmaar is far better than us. And they can also provide evidence that they can draw us 1:1 at home. Now when they return to their home court, do they have any reason to lose? Do you agree with this view?"

"Of course not!"

"Let them know it's amazing right away!"

"Damn it! He's so arrogant after a match! Be sure to give them some color!"

""

Looking at the players who were talking loudly in the locker room, Wan Sheng nodded with satisfaction. He was just boosting morale. Others knew his purpose, but they were still inspired because what he said was the truth, and the Dutch people did think so.

This is an open method, the method is old, but it works

Derby County walked onto the field with great momentum and prepared to compete with Alkmaar.

Although the team is very motivated, it still has to face the reality. This game will be very difficult. From the beginning to Alkmaar's stable defense, the entire Derby County team has already understood it.

Derby County's tactics remain unchanged, and it is still the traditional "osfast" style that the team is familiar with. It uses the tight defense of the whole game to take the initiative, and then launches wave after wave of fast attacks.

The left and right transfer style with Chelsea in the last game was effective, but Wan Sheng considered it, and finally let the team continue to use the original tactics. One reason is that the team is more familiar with this style of play, and everyone knows what to do on the court. The other reason is that the offensive tactics of left and right transfer are not mature at all. Not to mention whether the team adapts or not, first of all, this style of play has only been through half a game, and Wan Sheng himself did not understand any loopholes. If Alkmaar studied the game between Derby County and Chelsea before the game and then arranged the loopholes, it would be really passive.

Some surprising tactics can only have surprising effects when they are taken out at special times, so Derby County still plays the original tactics in this game.

Before the game, Wan Sheng gave a careful advice on the defense.

Now the score between Derby and Alkmaar is 1:1. Alkmaar has a goal difference advantage. If they are given a chance and they score a goal, the team will be in danger. The most dangerous thing about the opponent's offense is to fight back quickly. In terms of Alkmaar's defensive style, their active push is not a big threat.

So Wan Sheng specifically reminded the defense line that if two central defenders can not be inserted, try not to insert them, so as to ensure the stability of the backcourt defense at any time, so that the offense will be much more stable.

What you can see on the court is that the two teams are fighting fiercely.

Just over ten minutes ago, the referee had suspended the game several times. One of Alkmaar's midfielders and Ottomans received a yellow card, quickly gave two yellow cards, which calmed down the players of the two teams a little, but there were still many confrontations in the game, especially in the midfield and frontcourt. In order to limit the attack of Derby County, Alkmaar was not stingy with some small moves or tricks at all.

In this case, the Derby County players' movements also became bigger.

Fortunately, the referee Boer, who enforced the law in this game, had a very tough wrist. His movements were slightly bigger, which was a warning. A dangerous movement was just a yellow card. Under this method, both teams' players were a little restrained.

Derby County feels that it doesn't matter. In fact, European games are European games no matter how they say they are. In terms of physical confrontation, they are not as good as the Premier League. Alkmaar's defensive moves are very big, but if they win the Premier League schedule, it will become very ordinary. Derby County players have no discomfort at all. If you want to say they are not adapted, perhaps the referee's penalty standard makes them even more uncomfortable, because many of their actions will not be stopped in the Premier League, but they are fouls here.

Overall, Derby County's offensive was pretty good, threatening Alkmaar's penalty area several times in twenty minutes. It was obvious that the entire Derby County team was in good shape.

Seeing frequent crises in the penalty area, Alkmaar fans also began to worry about the goal.

In fact, before the game started, many Alkmaar fans thought that Derby had nothing to be afraid of. This idea came from the score in the first leg, 1:1. The team can draw away and have a goal difference advantage, making it easier to return to home.

Even said that Alkmaar only needs to hold the goal tightly. After 90 minutes, they will naturally eliminate Derby County by relying on their goal difference.

But now Alkmaar dares not think so, because it is obvious on the court that Derby County's offense is quite threatening, and most of the time Derby County is attacking, and his team rarely advances too far, and he doesn't fight any of the few counterattacks.

Alkmaar fans stared at the game carefully, fearing that the football would fly into their own goal in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Alkmaar is lucky.

Their goal seemed to be in danger throughout the first half, but at least the referee blew the whistle of the midfield and Derby County still didn't score.

Only then did the Alkmaar fans breathe a sigh of relief.

Maybe I can hold on until the end of the game?

They thought so.

The media commentator who reported the game would also comment on the game during the halftime. Although neither side scored a goal in this first half, it was obvious that Derby County was the protagonist because they completely suppressed Alkmaar.

Some Dutch media have also begun to worry about Alkmaar, "I hope they can hold until the end of the second half!"

"It's difficult to defend by just defending. It's a bit of luck to Derby County not scored in the first half. For me, Alkmaar should take the initiative, and there are not many people in Derby County's backcourt."

Some media commentators even began to give advice to Alkmaar.

But obviously nothing they said was ineffective, at least it would not affect the Alkmaar coach's arrangement of the game, nor the performance of Derby County.

At the beginning of the second half, Derby County suddenly launched a fierce offensive...

At the opening time, the players of both sides had not recovered from the midfield, and their condition was naturally affected. Wansheng was to let the team take advantage of this time to launch a strong offensive.

Van der Fate proved his success with a goal!

This was a chance that Morris found at the beginning of the second half. After receiving the pass, he shook away the Alkmaer midfielder and suddenly passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area. There was Bottonret. Bottonret turned and shot directly, but the football hit the leg of the defensive player next to him and bounced out. Alkmaer suddenly became in chaos in the penalty area.

In the chaos, Van der Fate took the lead in getting the ball and knocked it into the goal with his heel.

"The ball is in! 1:2, Derby County leads away!" The English commentator made an excited voice to announce the goal to the fans.

With this goal, Derby County has another advantage.

If you lead one goal, you don’t need to talk about away goals. In addition, this is also a away goal. That is to say, if Alkmaar can also score the next goal and Derby County does not score at the same time, the two teams will enter overtime after the 90-minute game.

This goal almost immediately reversed the situation between the two teams!

Just now, Derby County had to score a goal to defeat Alkmaar, otherwise it would be eliminated. Now, Alkmaar must score a goal to tie Derby County.

Van der Fate's goal role can be imagined.

The Derby County players breathed a sigh of relief and all celebrated excitedly.

Wansheng stood on the sidelines and breathed a sigh of relief.

The team has not scored goals for a long time, and he still feels very stressed, but now that he has finally scored, he can feel much more at ease.

Suddenly he felt relaxed all over. (To be continued...)
