Chapter 113 The second round

A victory is a prize of 100,000 pounds; a prize of 1 million pounds for the league championship, and a prize of 1 million pounds for the UEFA Cup; if Derby County wins all competitions from now on and wins two championships, the club will have to pay about 3.5 million pounds for the prize.◇↓,

This money is really a lot.

But compared to the income a club can get from two championships, it is only a part of the money. Everyone can calculate this account. If other clubs win the championship, they will definitely give the players a bonus. They can't say how much the bonus is. However, there are usually no bonuses in ordinary games. So what is the purpose of Pearson doing this?

Wan Sheng watched the new chairman's performance coldly.

He knew the purpose of this guy after thinking about it, which was to win people's hearts.

The club's senior staff just took over as the team's chairman made a major adjustment, but after all, they came from the American consortium and it was difficult to get the support of fans. The club has not stabilized. At present, they naturally have to buy people's hearts, buy the hearts of fans, and buy the hearts of the entire club.

For the team, the team is definitely the most important thing.

So they are here to buy the players' hearts now - in the form of bonuses, of course, it is undeniable that this approach can also intensify the team's efforts to win more, but in fact the effect is not very big. After all, not every player can look at those few thousand pounds, especially players like Morris and Van der Fate who have big contracts with the team, their daily income is more than this. For games, striving for victory and championships is something that every player yearns for. Just relying on a 100,000 pound bonus for a victory is really not eye-catching.

Wansheng believes that Pearson cannot just give out bonuses.

He must have to do some other things, such as renewing contracts with some players in the club. This work can soothe the hearts of many players now. After all, the end of the season means the beginning of the summer transfer. Now that the renewal is completed, there is no need to worry about leaving.

However, these seem to have no effect on Wan Sheng, but he can get an extra bonus.

He will naturally have a bonus from Pearson, and even assistant coach Diamares has one. For people like Diamares who have low incomes, this bonus is more effective, which can match their weekly salary.

Wan Sheng was not worried that this would make the players' hearts 'toward' the club's chairman.

With just this little money, it is a bit of a dream to buy the player's support for him! You know, most players in the team respect themselves more than 80 points. More than half of the players have exceeded 90 points, and some have exceeded 100. They are elder-level members of the Players' Union. They definitely support Wan Sheng and cannot be moved by this little money.

If Pearson was willing to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds for every player, it might really shake Wan Sheng's position in the team, but the amount of money that only 100,000 pounds in a game is really a waste of money.

So Wan Sheng and the players accepted the prize money with a smile. When the chairman left, they also praised a few words like "Mr. Chairman is so generous." Pearson felt that the money was worth spending, but in fact, what he didn't know was that the impact of this money was. Everyone was busy, and they made some compliments, and then they disappeared.

The players think the money is worthy, after all, the team is so good now. Isn’t it normal to have some bonuses?

Pearson's approach is actually correct, and the pound can win people's hearts.

But he wanted to do this, but he couldn't bear to spend money. Naturally, it wouldn't work.

Just like Wan Sheng thought, after the whole team returned to the club, the next day, there was news that several players were told that they could renew their contracts.

This is good news for the players, but it is actually very sudden at this time.

Everyone in the team knew that Wan Sheng's contract renewal had not been completed yet. When the head coach's contract renewal was not completed, the personnel changes in summer were not accurate at all. It was a bit sudden that it was obvious that Pearson and Sam Rush wanted to stabilize people's hearts by renewing the contract.

Their choice of renewal goals is also clear, namely those players with strong strength and low reputation.

Morris is the first to bear the brunt.

Morris has performed extremely well this season, but due to his position and age, he is not very famous. In the eyes of people in the football circle, Morris is very outstanding, but that's all. He is 27 years old and can be called a veteran in two years. In addition, he has never been selected for England and has not performed well in other clubs, so his value will naturally not increase much.

Morris is the core of Derby County. No matter who is the head coach, such a strong, outstanding performance and low-value player will choose to stay in the team.

So Morris was the first to get news of his contract renewal.

In addition, Vidic, Marcus, Russi, Ivan Krue and Cruivet have received news of renewal. By stabilizing these team backbones, they can stabilize the entire team. Pearson and Sam Rush have a good plan.

Wan Sheng ignored the news.

For Wan Sheng, this has no effect at all. At least he is still the team's head coach. Even if the club does it, it cannot shake his determination to transfer right. If he does not give him the transfer right, then the contract renewal will be exempted from negotiations. There is a provision in his contract that if the owner of the club changes, he can directly choose to jump out of the contract at the end of the season and take away the 800,000 pounds of bonus. This clause is not surprising in the contract between football coaches and basketball coaches, and is a very normal clause. Wan Sheng did not expect that one day he would still use such clauses.

In other words, Wan Sheng can choose to leave the club directly at the end of the season, without paying a liquidated damages, and can also receive a breakup fee of 800,000 pounds.

So even if the contract renewal cannot be completed, Wansheng doesn’t have to worry about the time of the old contract.

Now he has no intention of paying attention to the actions of Pearson and Sam Rush, and soon the team welcomes Villarreal at Pride Stadium.

This is the second round of the two teams.

In the first leg, Derby County won one away goal, with one goal lead and another away goal, Wan Sheng also had the confidence. He planned to fight Villarreal head-on to see the advantages and disadvantages of the specific team and the Spanish strong team in terms of offense.

This is a rare opportunity.

Generally, England teams are more skilled than Derby County, while Spain teams focus more on technology. Not to mention Villarreal, who has a core Riquelme, did not score a goal in the last game, but in their football style, the technology and gorgeousness have been fully revealed.

It is precisely because of his outstanding skills that Wan Sheng wants to compete with them even more.

It has nothing to do with the outcome.

Perhaps what I really want to say is a proof of my own tactics and a proof of the football I led by my team. This is a recognition of my coaching ability for Wan Sheng.

For the entire Derby County, it is also a test of overall capabilities.

Villarreal is still very unwilling to accept the loss to Derby 0-1 at home. They think they are already a strong team. The team has world-class stars like Riquelme and Diego Fran. They have a very good performance this season and ranks third in the La Liga. They have a great chance of entering the European Champions League next season.

Derby County has also performed well and is currently the number one in the Premier League, but Derby County is just a newly emerging team after all. In Europe, Villarreal is much more famous than Derby County.

So they are unwilling to fail, and their goal is to win the UEFA Cup.

After the last round of the competition, Villarreal knew some of the Derby County. This Derby County is very good at defending and is also very good at capturing opportunities. Their defense is very stable. Their counterattack speed is very fast and very threatening.

But that's all.

After the last round, Villarreal analyzed the reasons for the failure. They concluded that they had too little experience in playing against the English team, and coupled with the "misleading" of the English media, they believed that Derby County was a team that was good at playing offensive football. As a result, Derby County adopted the traditional "English style of play", which was rough, savage and tough, which was the most unacceptable for La Liga teams. They were completely unprepared for this and lost to Derby County.

They made a lot of preparations when they went to Pride Stadium this time.

Head coach Pellegrini asked them to be tougher and play more targeted in offense. Faced with Derby County's contraction defense, they should be more calm and pass more to deal with it, so that they will have more opportunities and are not afraid of Derby County's tough defense.

"We just play like this, don't be afraid of them! There are many young players on their team, they are very good at playing the wind, don't give them a chance, victory must belong to us!"

Pellegrini shouted loudly with her fist.

He has to rely on intense words to improve the fighting spirit of the whole team. He always believes that the team's strength is stronger than Derby County and has a great chance in the game.

The last game was just not prepared.

Now that they are fully prepared, they are not afraid of Derby County at all

Soon the two teams appeared, and the game officially began as the referee whistle sounded.

What Villarreal did not expect was that Derby launched a large-scale attack at the beginning, and his attitude was as if he wanted to score a goal at the beginning, which made them a little panic. Fortunately, core players such as Riquelme stabilized their formation and did not give Derby a chance.

"It's a little wrong"

Originally, according to head coach Pellegrini's idea, Derby would definitely choose to use a defensive counterattack strategy like in the previous game, so that Derby has the greatest advantage, but unexpectedly, the opponent launched a fierce offensive at the beginning, and after several waves of attacks, there was no intention of easing. For a moment, Villarreal was suppressed, which made their preparations before the game equivalent to being useless.

At this time, Riquelme looked at the Derby County offensive and said to Fran, who was retreating to defend, "The opponent seems to be different from what the coach said."

"It's totally different!" Fran gasped quickly. He wanted to insert the attack a few times just now, but was suppressed by Derby County. In other words, he ran forward and then backward, and was exhausted and panting. As a result, he ran for a long time without any effect. "They didn't seem to want to shrink their defense at all."

"They changed their tactics!" Rikelme affirmed.

"What should we do?"

Rikelme rolled his eyes. He was the core of the team, but he was just an ordinary player. Within ten minutes of the game, it was obvious that the coach's tactical arrangement was wrong, which led to the current suppression. Faced with this situation, he had no choice. "It's better to play a normal game! Relying on normal attacks, we won't lose to them!"

Riquelme said and chased the ball.

Fran shook his head in place.

Riquelme has a high fighting spirit, but after several attacks just now, it was obvious that they were very adapted to this offensive style. Just as the English media said, this Derby County is very good at offense, and the defense of pressing the whole game can easily suppress the opponent. These are the reasons why Villarreal is currently passive.

It is difficult to find the reason, but it is difficult to find a solution because the coach does not have relevant arrangements. It is a bit difficult to save the situation by relying on Rikelme's fighting spirit alone.

As Diego Fran thought, Derby County launched its offensive again and again, which made Villarreal completely overwhelmed. As a result, Derby County finally had a good opportunity in the 19th minute of the game.

This is a long-distance set piece opportunity.

In football matches, many times, such opportunities are directly driven to continue the game, but Derby County did not do so. Ivan Kruy solemnly came to the ball, and other players rushed forward to find opportunities.

Ivan Kru kicked off with big feet and directly hanged the ball into the penalty area!

Villarreal, who realized the danger, rushed to crowd out the defense, but Botton Reit grabbed the position first, and swept the ball under the football. The ball bypassed goalkeeper Vieira and flew into the goal with both hands!

"The ball has entered!"

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!”

"Borton Reit!"

"2:0, Derby County leads Villarreal in two rounds with two goals!"

With the shouts of the commentators on the scene, the fans of Derby County were in a state of excitement. At the same time, Villarreal was in a state of depression. They did not expect that after defending for so long, the opponent still scored a goal. In addition to the goal in the last round, they were already two goals behind.

So do they still have a chance to win?

Perhaps, for them, the biggest impact was not Derby County's goal, but the coach's arrangement before the game was completely useless. They felt confused and didn't even know how to play in the next game.

At this time, many Villarreal players subconsciously looked at the coach's seat
