Chapter 56 Three-game winning streak
Nottingham Forest made a big push and continued to advance the offense. In order to score a goal and equalize the score, head coach Hart used two substitutions in the second half and replaced two frontcourt players to increase the team's offensive ability.
But they have not yet been able to break through the Derby County Gate.
However, this kind of large-scale offensive oppression still has a certain effect. The game proves that Nottingham Forest's offensive football is very desirable. When they conduct oppressive offense and the defense is also carried out in a tight pressing manner, it is very difficult for Derby County to counterattack because they have to devote most of their energy to defense to ensure that the goal is not lost.
Seeing the defense behind Nottingham Forest has many loopholes, but it is impossible to exploit it at all, Reit himself stood in front of him and even got it few times. This feeling of being very passive is not good.
But Derbyshire is not in a hurry, because they are the leading side.
What is anxious is Nottingham Forest.
They had to seize the time to attack and attack again. The backcourt defense was simply ignored, but their morale was limited, and they could not attack for dozens of minutes in a row.
At about the 70th minute of the game, Nottingham Forest's offense slowed down a lot.
Even if they wanted to continue, they could not play out at all. Their players' physical fitness was very high during the offense throughout the game. Derby County had been defending better. As a result, taking advantage of the opportunity, in the 75th minute, Derby County completed another exciting counterattack.
This time it was Ian Taylor and the substitute who came on the cooperation of Ivan Kreu.
Ivan Crew's comprehensive ability is average, but his ability is very comprehensive. He is an all-round player. This time he and Taylor made a quick counterattack, and finally the football was handed over to Morris who was inserted into the back.
When Morris received the pass, there was only Nottingham Forest goalkeeper ahead of him.
Morris's mentality was quite calm. Faced with a one-on-one opportunity, he calmly completed the lob shot, and the football flew high and fell directly into the Nottingham Forest goal.
Zero to two!
"Lee Morris! He scored his second goal for Derby County! The last goal was also scored by Morris. This was his second goal, and he scored twice!" Lyle Woodgate shouted in surprise.
Before the game, everyone thought that Derby County would lose, but now more than an hour later, the scores of the two teams were surprising, zero to two, and Derby County was leading the away game.
"Now, 76 minutes of the game, Derby County has expanded its lead, so there should be no suspense in the game..."
Lyle Woodgate's voice was still a bit unbelievable.
He was surprised by Derby County's performance, and also by Derby County's calmness. Until now, Nottingham Forest has suppressed the situation, but Morris' goal has left the game without any suspense. Nottingham Forest has been at home in vain and has the advantage in vain, but they are two goals behind.
This goal also made the game unquestionable!
Nottingham Forest attacked the entire game without scoring a single goal. As a result, Derby County used two counterattacks in the first and second half to complete two goals. There was no suspense at all. One goal was still a little hopeful. How can Nottingham Forest recover two goals?
It's impossible.
Anyone who watched the whole game could come to this conclusion.
The same is true for the next game. Although Nottingham Forest has been attacking, it seems that it still has to win a glimmer of hope. But until the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, they still failed to break through the Derby County gate.
The final score was zero to two.
The entire City Square stadium seemed very silent. In addition to Derby County fans who occupied a small part of the audience cheered for victory, Nottingham Forest fans at home began to leave the court.
The live commentator of the city square made the final summary of the competition, and his voice hovered over the city square--
"The whole game ends! Congratulations to Derby County for winning, they got a valuable three-pointer away! This is their three-game winning streak in the league! It has to be mentioned that the first game of the three-game winning streak, former Derby County coach Gregory left the court with a heart attack. At that time, the current Chinese coach Wan Sheng temporarily commanded the game. The three-goal reversal was the beginning of the three-game winning streak!"
"They have won two consecutive victories so far!"
"Congratulations to them!"
"Derby County's performance in this game is eye-catching. They are very strict. Nottingham Forest has not scored in the entire game. Derby County uses two counterattacks to score two goals!"
"Before the game, if anyone said Derby would win, he would definitely be considered a lunatic. Yes, I didn't think Derby had a chance at that time. They were away games, and they also sent new players. Many people analyzed that Derby would fail based on this, but in the end they defeated Nottingham Forest two goals."
"They performed very well away. They took advantage of their defensive advantages, so that Nottingham Forest could not find a chance. They played very passively, but the counterattack was very sharp. The most worth mentioning is that their new player, Baker Alfred, performed very well!"
"In this game, we saw a future defender star!"
"Baker Alfred, no one has heard of this name before. He is very famous and has no reputation in the Youth League. This is his first time playing in the professional league, but his performance is no worse than those well-known players!"
"I believe that tomorrow we will see him in many media reports, and his name will spread throughout England!"
"Another young player in Derby County, forward young player Bolton Reit is also very good. The first goal was based on his wonderful assist to find the opportunity. The young player scored goals in two consecutive games. Although there was no goal in this game, an assist was enough to prove a lot of things..."
"Two young geniuses, three consecutive victories, have made Derby County's relegation situation much better. With these three victories, they have temporarily left the relegation circle. This is the change brought about by Derby County's Chinese coach Wan Sheng since coaching! Although there are many reports from the outside world that his ability is not enough to be the head coach of the League One team, at least so far, his leadership answer is perfect!"
"We should probably expect him to bring more surprises..."
...
The commentators on the scene said this, which shows how amazed the media is at the achievements of Derby County.
Three consecutive victories are not easy.
But Wan Sheng did it in just three games. Many media did not count the first game as Wan Sheng. That was because in the first game, Gregory was coaching, and they did not take Wan Sheng seriously. But now after two consecutive victories, any media has to love him more.
It is conceivable that he will definitely become a sensational figure in the media after the game.
His name and photos will appear frequently in the reports, and more media will hope to interview him, or there will be more doubts in it, but in the doubts, they must also report on Wansheng, because Derby County's performance is indeed very good. Even if it is considered to be based on luck, they must go to the interview to explain some truths. Otherwise, it will be said directly that it is luck and the fans will not buy it at all.
Fans are not fools!
What you said makes sense, fans will believe it if they think about it, but Derby County won three consecutive victories, so you have no reason to say it is based on luck. Who would believe it?
Even if many media reporters have no good impression of Wan Sheng, they have to go for an interview.
...
At the end of the game, Derby County cheered and cheered.
This is not just a victory, but also the first three consecutive wins that Derby County has completed this season. Even assistant coach Diamares was a little excited. He couldn't help but say, "Three consecutive wins! I don't remember when the team last won three consecutive wins. It was probably the last century..."
His eyes at Wansheng were a little complicated.
Derby County has indeed not won three consecutive victories for a long time. In recent years, their performance has plummeted. In the Premier League, they were just a team that barely relegated. In the past three years, Derby County has fallen from the Premier League to the League One and then become a relegation team in the League One. The team's performance is getting worse and worse, and it is indeed very difficult to achieve a three-game winning streak.
It is precisely because of this that the elderly in Derbyshire sigh.
Diamares is an old man from Derby County. When he first came to Derby County, he was not a first-team assistant coach. He became an assistant coach more than five years ago. Now he saw the team suddenly complete three consecutive victories, and his eyes were very complicated when he looked at Wan Sheng.
On the one hand, he did not want to see Wansheng succeed in his heart, so that it would prove that he could not match Wansheng, and it would be difficult for him to accept this result.
On the other hand, as an old man in Derby County, he hopes that the team will have good results. He really hopes that he will lead the team to achieve good results, but the team is Wan Sheng.
Think about it from the other side, if you lead the team yourself, can you help the team achieve three consecutive victories?
Diamares shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that it was really difficult to accomplish. He didn't know why Wansheng could do this. He only knew that he could not do it. He understood a little why Smith and Wilcox chose Wansheng.
At the same time, there is no 'psychiatric obstacle' when others cheer for victory.
"Hahaha...we won! This is a three-game winning streak! I didn't expect that we could really beat Nottingham Forest, this is the East Midlands derby!"
“Although the East Midlands Derby is nothing, I’m still happy to see the victory!”
"We did a good job!"
"Three consecutive victories! Nine points, we estimate that relegation will not be a problem this season!"
Everyone is discussing.
Hearing these words, Wan Sheng laughed happily. He walked to the sidelines and faced Alfred, who was taking off his jersey and walking down the field. He gave him a hug, patted his shoulder and said, "Beautiful job!"
Alfred seemed very excited, "Thank you! Sir!"
His tone made many people beside him laugh out loud, and they said a few words of encouragement and teasing. Alfred seemed very shy and his expression made others laugh even more happily.
Wan Sheng praised and encouraged everyone's performance. Next he walked to the player's passage and shook hands with Nottingham Forest coach Hart who was waiting there.
This is a polite handshake.
However, Wan Sheng was still a little proud. He had met Hart more than half a year ago. That was when he came to Nottingham Forest for an interview. The interviewer was Hart himself. At that time, Hart thought he was not able to become the head coach of the Nottingham Forest youth team, and then Wan Sheng had to leave sadly.
Now he coaches Derby County, visits City Square, and becomes an opponent with Hart as an equal.
He also won the final victory.
The two of them held each other.
Wan Sheng had a smile on his face, and Hart had a smile, with admiration in his eyes, "Congratulations on your victory! I didn't expect your team to perform so well, it was because I was careless."
Hart said.
This is what he said in his heart. He was confused by the media reports. He also believed that Wan Sheng, who was only 26 years old, would not have any special skills. But now facing failure, he had to admit that the young Chinese in front of him had very some ability.
Wan Sheng smiled and said humbly, "It's just luck."
Next, while talking, the two walked to the press conference together.
Chapter completed!
