Leicester City coach Adams is a little uneasy.

He has been watching the game seriously, looking forward to his players completing the first goal, but he did not see the goal, but instead found that the team was gradually becoming a little passive.

What's going on?

Adams suddenly felt something was wrong, and immediately frowned and watched the game seriously. He quickly found that Derby County's half-court defense was very strong, and the team's repeated attacks could not advance into the penalty area. Many times, passing the ball was very dangerous far from the penalty area.

Derby County seems to have constructed a solid line of defense in the middle line?

At first, Adams thought so, but many of them didn't think so. He saw the interception ability of Derby County midfielders, but gradually, he found that the players on every front of Derby County were actually running hard, but the football was mostly in the opponent's penalty area and the midfielder range, so the opponent's midfielders had more opportunities to perform, so these players played a very prominent role in defense.

Even so, it can show that these players have good personal abilities.

At least very comprehensive.

Adams watched the game and kept analyzing Derby County's defensive tactics in his mind. He found that Derby County's defensive methods were very similar to regional defense. Most players would run and intercept in areas allowed by the formation. When the football reached a certain area, nearby Derby County players would also rushed over immediately.

Every Derby County player has a firm defense. Obviously, the opponent's head coach has made a lot of arrangements for defense. He can maintain the formation of Leicester City in the game and fixed defensive tasks. Some players will not panic after being thrown away, but choose to defend other people.

Such a steady defense is much better than Leicester City.

Thinking of this, Adams shook his head quickly. Now is not the time to praise his opponent, and especially the young people he hates. Although he thinks that Derby County plays well, he must now think about how to deal with it.

Under such a strong defense of Derby County, their players seemed to be a little uncomfortable. The delay in scoring their goals also made them lose some confidence and their offense gradually became weak. On the contrary, the opponent played well in both offense and counterattack, and the game situation seemed to be developing in a direction that was not conducive to Leicester City.

But how could this happen?

Adams suddenly realized that the game was not easy to win. Derby County was not a fishbag team, and their young Chinese coach was not completely lucky. At least it could not play such a defense by luck alone. This kind of tactical defense cannot be played by luck.

At the same time, he also found that victory seemed not as simple as he imagined.

Before the game, he didn't think Wan Sheng had any ability, nor did he think Derby County could threaten Leicester City's three-pointer, but the situation is not the case now.

He was a little upset with the Derbyshire media reports - don't you say that this Chinese coach won the game entirely by luck? Don't you say that Derbyshire won the five consecutive victories by luck?

Is he? shit!

If luck can make the team play such a highly tactical defense, what else does the head coach need to do? All players will worship God and he is fine!

Adams didn't even think about the reason why the team was careless, and completely attributed the current situation to the Derbyshire media. Perhaps he was not free enough brain cells to think about this. He is the team's head coach. He needs to think about how to change the situation so that Leicester City's offense is more threatening, better defense, easier to score goals, etc.

But the only way he thought of was to continue attacking!

Leicester City cannot suddenly change its tactics, and Adams couldn't think of any other tactics that the team could use to deal with Derby County with a turtle shell and a spike. All he could think of was to attack. As long as he could score first, with a score advantage, even if Derby County's defense was strong, they must take the initiative to attack, otherwise they would lose the chance to win.

By then the initiative in the game will be in his hands.

So Adams then walked to the sidelines and directed the team's offense with yelling and waving. Anyone could know that he was dissatisfied with not scoring for a long time.

But it's not easy for Leicester to score.

Even if Adams stood on the sidelines to direct his own command, their players still had to face Derby County's solid defense and also had to find a way to break through the Derby County defense line. This requires performance and opportunities, and it is not something that can be rushed.

The first half of the two teams ended in the scene of Adams roaring, and the game entered the halftime break.

...

After remembering the whistle at the end of the first half, Adams looked at the '0:0' on the scoreboard of the stadium. He didn't say a word to others and rushed back to the player's channel.

On the other hand, Wan Sheng stood up calmly and walked leisurely back to the player's passage. He looked neither anxious nor slow, and he would pat the shoulders of the players around him on the road to encourage them.

After returning to the locker room, Wan Sheng praised the team's performance.

In Wan Sheng's opinion, the team's performance in the first half was still very good. The only shame is that they failed to score. However, Leicester City scored in half without a goal. The situation was already very strong against Derby County. He believed that the second half would definitely belong to Derby County.

Scoring a goal is just a matter of time and luck.

In the visiting team locker room at Pride Stadium, Leicester City coach Adams also talked about the game, but unlike the home team locker room, there is no relaxing atmosphere here, there is only tension and seriousness.

This is all because of head coach Adams.

"We have to score first!"

"The opponent's defense is very good. I know, I saw it, but so far we have no other way. If we want to defeat them, we can only score first."

"Believe me, only if you score first, victory will belong to us!"

"You don't want to lose to a relegation team, right? Look, their head coach is only in his twenties, how young I think losing to such a team will bring shame to us..."

The last sentence Adams said was very touching, but what he didn't know was that the players in the locker room sneered at it - will we be shamed if we lose to Derby County? It's just that you, Coach Adams, are shamed!

Many people were talking about it.

However, they still agree with Adams' statement. If you want to win, you must score goals. If you want to gain an advantage, you must score first. Therefore, the purpose of scoring first is definitely very correct. The difference is whether you can enter or not.

They will work hard.

No one is sure whether the goal may be scored, after all, they tried hard for a half-time goal but didn't score.

...

Leicester City's halftime break was spent by head coach Adams constantly emphasized the offense, which was very effective. When the second half began, they immediately launched a more fierce offensive than the first half.

They are pushing frequently and constantly threatening Derby County goal.

This made many Derby County fans sweat for the team, and the entire Derby County team had to continue working hard on defense.

Wan Sheng was standing on the sidelines.

Under such a fierce attack from Leicester City, he was also a little worried about the goal, but at some point, the corners of his mouth curled up.

The direction he was looking at Leicester City halftime.

The opponent was too eager to score the goal, and they completely forgot that Derby also had the ability to counterattack and did a good job in the first half, so their formation was very forward and the gap in the back line became larger and larger.

That way it was like even their defenders couldn't wait to participate in the offense.

...

Derby County players on the court are all trying to defend.

Many of them now admire Wan Sheng very much, because Wan Sheng told them during the break that Leicester City would likely continue to attack fiercely after the start of the second half. Now the opponent is indeed doing this.

Wan Sheng said that, so they were mentally prepared.

When facing Leicester City's fierce attack, they responded calmly. Although the opponent's offense is very threatening, with the efforts of the entire team, they still made successful defenses and did not allow Leicester City to find a chance to score.

This is the first step to win.

Fifteen minutes later, Leicester City's offensive intensity decreased a lot. It would not be possible for them to last too long for such an offense. They needed some adjustments to rest. At this time, the pressure faced by Derby County players was much less, so some people began to consider the second step of winning.

That's the goal.

Everyone knows that defense alone cannot win. They look for opportunities to counterattack while defending, or simply launch a stable advancement to try to break through the Leicester City defense line.

No matter what method is used, you need to find a good goal opportunity.

In front of the Derby County penalty area.

Alfred suddenly stretched forward and stopped the opponent's ball, then calmly kicked the football to Morris.

Morris handed the ball to Ian Taylor, and Taylor received the ball and led forward.

At the same time, Morris, Rett and full-back Weberson rushed forward, and they all tried their best to run forward, and their reactions and speed of insertion were surprising.

In an instant, Derby County changed from defense to offense!

When they saw the football reaching the feet of the Derby County players, the players on the Leicester City also ran back immediately, but what they didn't expect was that the Derby County offensive and defensive transformation would be so fast. Some of them were still slowly retreating, and the opponent's players had already run into their own half.

They were slightly surprised.

But when they saw that the opponent's players had already dribbled the ball across the center line and most of their teammates were in the opponent's half, they had no time to be surprised. They rushed back to defend, but it was obviously too late and they could not catch up with the ball again.

Derby County's quick counterattack has already formed a 4-on-3 situation against Leicester City at the halftime!

"Danger!" exclaimed the media supporting Leicester City.

"Opportunity!" said Lyle Woodgate, a live commentator.
