The second round of the match against Sporting Lisbon was only two days apart from the 37th round of the Premier League, so after defeating Sporting Lisbon at home, Derby County had no time to celebrate. Even though the players were excited about entering the finals, Wan Sheng still disbanded the team early and let everyone go back and rest. △

The schedule is too tight, and the rest time is particularly important to the team.

Derby County has already started preparing for the league with Manchester United, but there is actually no preparation. It is nothing more than some small-scale targeted defenses, such as the defense against the opponent's forward Van Nistroy, and restricting the performance of Giggs and Ronaldo on the side, etc. The purpose of these individual defensive trainings for stars is to limit the performance of Manchester United stars.

There is still no change in the team's overall tactics.

The next day, the whole team gathered, and the main training method was to practice some simple things, rather than too complex systematic training. There was no need to train too much when the game was approaching, and the intensity was not much. Only when the players' physical condition was not affected can the best results be achieved.

Even if it is not for the game, by the end of the season, there is no need to practice some complicated things, because the team does not need new tactics at all. The current 'os-ast' system has become more mature. There is no need to think of a new tactic for Manchester United's games like last season. It can only play a surprising role and may be useful for teams with weak strength, because Manchester United will despise their opponents, but Derby County is not despised by Manchester United at all, so doing that will not have any good effect at all, and Derby County does not need to do that at all.

Derbyshire's training knowledge practices some offensive routines.

For each attack, the team will have several offensive routines, and each offensive routine is different. For example, if the attack starts directly from the left, right or middle lane, it is difficult to play the same routine. What routines are used depends on the player's position during the game, and the response to some special circumstances. When the player adapts to each routine, he can use it freely in the game.

It’s like a martial artist in the martial arts world who practices swordsmanship and is skilled in a good set of sword techniques, he must practice a new set of sword techniques. In this way, he will have more sword techniques and the countermeasures will definitely increase when dealing with the enemy. After familiarizing with many kinds of sword techniques, he may be able to reach the state of "no moves are better than moves" in the cross.

Of course, Derby County is still very far away from that realm and cannot see the finish line. It is precisely because of this that offensive routines are more important, which allows players to know where to pass the ball on the court without even turning back.

Repeatedly making the team familiar with these simple routines is the best way for the team to train before the game.

To be honest, the various routines are actually very complicated, because each player is different, and the player's position will be different every time, but for the coach, you only need to study each link and what the player should do. The coach needs to tell the players about these, just like teaching them every move of swordsmanship. When it comes to the field, when the player encounters any situation, you can choose to use whatever moves you want.

This is enough to ensure smooth attack.

Of course, it is necessary to play temporarily and defend against the opponent. But in the end, this routine can be played. If it is very smooth, it will be easy to create a good opportunity for your own side.

As the saying goes, "One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage". The same is true in football matches. A smooth cooperation often means that the entire team has done a lot of training off the court. It seems very ordinary, just a few passes, but the cooperation with one kick is difficult to find the position of the teammates temporarily. It is impossible for all players to have the overall view of "looking at the six routes". Many temporary crossings are mostly done according to tactical routines.

The purpose of playing according to routine is to make the last chance, and some offensive methods are also for the last chance.

As time approaches with Manchester United, Derby County is performing this slightly boring training. Fortunately, Wansheng often lets players take a rotation for a while or do some football games so that the training will not seem too boring.

The pre-match training results still satisfy Wan Sheng very much.

The players are familiar with each well-developed routine. During the entire drill, the team's cooperation is still very smooth, which is also the result of a season.

The more the season comes, the more familiar the team is with tactics.

Everyone is still very adapted to the routine attacks derived from these 'os-ast' tactical systems. Perhaps this is related to frequent use. This season, Derby County has always used a tactical system. Because of this, every player is very familiar with tactics.

After the team drill, Wan Sheng nodded with a smile, "Very good, everyone is doing well, we are waiting for tomorrow's game!"

Looking at the team's training, Wan Sheng also had more confidence in the game against Manchester United.

Derby County has done a good job in preparing for Manchester United, but obviously few media are concerned about Derby County's preparations, and more media are still reporting on Derby County's transfer news.

Derby County has had a lot of transfer news recently, and the situation is like it is about to fall apart. The media that support Manchester United is very happy because they think this will definitely affect Derby County's performance.

In such an important game, it is really good that things off the court affect the mentality of Derby County players, which means that Manchester United has more hope for victory.

This game is more than a matter of "face" for Manchester United.

If they can win Derby County, Manchester United can catch up with Arsenal at least three-pointers, then they will only be 1 point away from Arsenal. As long as Arsenal makes a mistake in the last two rounds, they will be able to overtake Arsenal's points and advance to third place in the league.

There is still a big difference between the third and fourth in the league.

In terms of Champions League quotas, there are four places in the Premier League. The top four of the league can participate in the Champions League, but the top three will directly enter the top 32 group stage, and the fourth place will need to participate in the qualifying round. Naturally, it is not necessary to participate in the qualifying round. Not to mention the winning or losing of the qualifying round, it also means that there will be three more games next season.

Manchester United and Arsenal are old opponents, so they naturally don't want to fall behind their old opponents. What's more, at the end of May, the two teams will have to play the FA Cup finals, and before the finals, they can rank higher in the league. They will definitely have more psychological advantages.

Speaking of the issue of "face" Manchester United is the overlord of the Premier League!

If Derby County takes away the championship at Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United will be really like being slapped in front of their own door, and it will be slapped hard. This is something that the arrogant Manchester United people will never tolerate!

In short, Manchester United supporters have countless reasons not to want Derby County to win.

Now various transfer news in Derbyshire has given them a chore. Even if these are not conclusive news, they still report solemnly. They just want to use reports to affect the status of Derbyshire.

Not only reports, they also have to conduct interviews, and only interviews can get more powerful news.

Many Derby County players have received calls from the media.

Wansheng can ask players not to accept interviews. But he cannot ask players not to answer the phone, and in this regard, force restrictions alone cannot be restricted at all. Derby County is not an ordinary small team now, and each player is somewhat famous. They all have their own agents and media channels. If they want to spread the news, no one knows who will do it.

Fortunately, the whole team of Derby County is united and everyone wants to compete for the championship. This is their overall goal. Everyone in the team also has a high respect for Wan Sheng, so he doesn't have to worry about how much impact the media reports have on the team.

Wan Sheng thought about it and waited for the game to end. Tell the media with facts that it is useless to do these small moves, so don’t waste your time!

Should Derby County win or win!

In fact, Manchester United has been in turmoil since last year.

Manchester United fans are still looking forward to this season. They look forward to the team regaining the league championship. They look forward to the team making a breakthrough in the European arena, but after the club revealed the news of the acquisition, Manchester United's prospects have been in a state of uncertainty.

First, the team is being acquired. Manchester United fans don’t know what the team will become in the future, and even the coaching position of Old Jazz Ferguson is not sure whether they can be maintained.

Second, Manchester United's performance is not ideal. They do not have the qualification to compete for the championship in the league and are eliminated in the Champions League. Some Manchester United fans even worry that the team will sink. You should know that they rank fourth in the league at the end of the season, but Manchester United has had the worst result since the 1990s.

Despite this, Manchester United fans don't want to see a team taking away the league championship at Old Trafford Stadium.

That has always been their honor!

It would be fine if other teams won the championship, but they actually took the trophy at Old Trafford Stadium. This kind of thing is definitely something that Manchester United cannot tolerate.

Therefore, Manchester United is bound to win the game and must win, and they cannot even accept the draw - because even if it is a draw, Derby County may win the championship, and Chelsea's game was played at the same time as Derby County.

No matter what the Manchester United thinks, the game still needs to be played normally.

On the morning of the game, the entire Derby County team took a bus to Manchester. They had arrived at their destination near noon.

After lunch at the prepared hotel, the team entered Old Trafford Stadium together to prepare for pre-match warm-up.

The game was held at three o'clock, leaving Derby County with some time left.

Taking advantage of the time before the game, Diamares led the team to enter the arena early to warm up to ensure the condition of the players of the team. Wan Sheng also went to the field with him. It was not until the time was over that Wan Sheng left to prepare to attend the press conference.

In the mixed area, a group of reporters wanted to come over to interview, but Wan Sheng ignored these people and turned around and walked away.

At this time the game was on track, and many TV stations had already started to report on the game. "Derby County had entered Manchester Stadium early and they were warming up. Head coach Wan Sheng returned to the locker room to attend the next press conference. He refused the media interview with a very serious expression. This is obviously his attitude towards the game."

"This game is related to whether Derby County can win the league championship in advance. As long as they can defeat Manchester United, they can take away the championship trophy at Old Trafford Stadium. The FA champion has brought the trophy here."

With the commentator's words, the camera also pointed to the league championship trophy placed on the sidelines.

"It is still very meaningful for this Chinese to be able to take the trophy at Old Trafford Stadium - he worked at Manchester United only as the coach of the junior team. Later, due to conflicts with youth director McGuinness, he left Manchester United."

"Three years later, he has led the team back to the stadium, and this is the first time since coaching Derby County, and it is also the most important one!"

"Manchester United must maintain the dignity of the club, but Derby County led by Wan Sheng must not be underestimated. The two teams have played once this season. At Pride Stadium, Manchester United drew Derby County. Now when he returns to Old Trafford Stadium, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses, but there is no doubt that this game is very worth looking forward to!"

Wansheng has been very low-key before.

He devoted all his energy to preparing for the game, which made the Manchester United media misunderstand that he was affected by the club's transfer issues and had no confidence in the game, so he adopted a low-key strategy, which would be helpful to the media's statement after losing the game.

This view has a very marketable view among Manchester United supporters.

In the eyes of many Manchester United supporters, this is the truth, but in the eyes of Derbyshire media, this is just the comfort that Manchester United finds for itself, because Manchester United has been acquiring it, and there has been no definite result until October last year. Compared with the situation in Derbyshire, Manchester United is not much better.

In the midst of noisy, the press conference finally began.

After Ferguson appeared, he expressed his confidence in victory in the media. He said that Manchester United is confident of winning Derby County at home, and their goal is only victory.

These words are very encouraging and give people great confidence.

"Derby County has a very good result. They squeezed out Chelsea's position, ranked first in the league, and even had the chance to win the league title in advance! But we will never let them take the championship away at Old Trafford. This is a humiliation for Manchester United, and we cannot tolerate this happening!"

"All Manchester United players have a kind of honor as Manchester United guys. This is Manchester United's heritage. Derby County definitely does not have this. The young Chinese will not understand this feeling of being glorious at all!"

When he walked into the press conference, Wan Sheng heard these words from Old Man Ferguson.

He curled his lips disdainfully, walked to the rostrum to look at many media reporters, and turned his head to look at Feng Ferguson. He ignored the latter's angry eyes and waved his arms and said loudly, "Maybe I don't know what the background is, what the glory is in Sir Ferguson's mouth is, but I know one thing, our only goal is to take away the league championship!"

Wan Sheng waved his hand hard and said fiercely, "I would like to emphasize again that we have only one purpose here, to take away our league championship at the Old Trafford Stadium where the owners have historical glory!"

"Maybe someone disagrees." Wan Sheng turned his head to look at Ferguson with a dark face, and continued, "but he is powerless to stop it" (to be continued...)
Chapter completed!
