Chapter 358 Former disciples

After the match against Arsenal, the third round of the league was immediately followed, with Manchester City playing against Derby County at home.

More than two years ago, Wan Sheng led Derby County to the Premier League title.

It was the most glorious moment in Derbyshire in decades!

Derbyshire fans also remember Wan Sheng deeply, and even his name was engraved in the Derbyshire trophy showroom to commemorate the wonderful memories brought to Derbyshire by Wan Sheng.

Even if the chairman Pierce, who holds the club's power, has conflicts with Wan Sheng, he cannot erase history, erase Wan Sheng's Premier League championship left to Derby County, and erase the memories left to Derby County fans. Therefore, he can only follow the fans' wishes and list Wan Sheng among the historical celebrities of Derby County Club.

After leaving Derby County and coaching Manchester City, Derby County's results leapt down, from Premier League title to relegation circle. In the last game of the season, Derby County lost to Fulham and was relegated.

After experiencing the efforts of last season, Derby County finally relied on its strong lineup and returned to the Premier League under the leadership of coach Billy Davis.

Billy Davis is a team with deep regrets, that is, he has led Preston to the Premier League several times, but has been hovering on the verge of upgrading for several seasons.

He coached Derby County last season and finally completed the team's upgrade.

However, according to Derby County's previous record, the media unceremoniously listed this team that won the Premier League championship two seasons ago as the number one favorite to be relegated.

The only team they can rely on is one striker Bolton Reit, who is also a player listed as a "Winning Disciple".

Burton Reit's loyalty to Derby County is beyond doubt.

Despite the incidents of mentor departure and team relegation, familiar teammates, Morris, Ziegler, Ivan Cru and others chose to follow Wansheng to Manchester City. When the team was relegated, Rousey, Rich Fedinnan, Peter Kennedy and others also chose to leave. The strong Alfred went to Serie A to join Fiorentina, but Burton Reit chose to stay and last season in the English Championship. He performed very well, scoring a goal in his own personal way, helping Derby County return to the Premier League.

Now Burton Reit has become the No. 1 star in Derby County. When people mention Derby County, the first player they can think of is him, he is the iconic Derby County player.

When Wan Sheng saw Bolton Reit appear for Derby County, he was also very moved and couldn't help but recall the scene in his mind where he once guided Bolton Reit's training.

This is a very serious and hard-working player.

Although he has been away from Derby County for more than two years, just listen to Botton Reit's data performance. Wan Sheng can tell that he has made great progress in the past two years.

Scoring a goal in the English Championship is not something that ordinary strikers can do, especially physical players like Bolton Reit, whose skills are not very good, and it is not easy to score goals in the second division, but he scored more than 20 goals, which is enough to show his improvement in his personal ability.

In addition, one thing that is particularly admirable is that after becoming famous, Borton Reit did not choose to leave like other teammates. Even though the team suffered relegation, he remained with the team and continued to compete in the second division for the team.

This is loyalty.

For professional players in the 'Money Age', loyal ministers are a very valuable quality.

Just like Liverpool's Gerald, who was determined to win more championships, said he would leave Liverpool again and again, but until the end he still handed over all his career to Liverpool.

Borton Reit is also such a player. Perhaps, because of potential, Borton Reit will not achieve Gerard's achievements in the future. But Wan Sheng believes that he will definitely become a celebrity in the history of Derby County Club and will be deeply remembered by many Derby County fans.

When the two teams played, Bolton Letter looked at Wan Sheng from afar.

Wan Sheng nodded to him with a smile.

Bodon-Leit responded. His eyes were a little excited, but he did nothing.

After that, Wan Sheng noticed the entire Derby County. Now the lineup of this Derby County has completely changed. For the 11 players who played, Wan Sheng is only familiar with Botton Reit. Compared with more than two years ago, it is completely equivalent to changing teams. Wan Sheng doesn't have to think about anything.

After the game started, Wan Sheng discovered that Derby County had not only changed personnel, but also its tactics had completely changed.

They no longer had a beautiful offensive football, but instead launched a rough defensive counterattack.

Everything I left behind was gone.

Wan Sheng smiled bitterly, feeling that he was a little old and always liked to recall the past.

The tactics adopted by Derby County are without any control or smoothness. Coupled with the strength gap and home advantage, Manchester City suppressed Derby County from one minute of the game.

Manchester City launched a siege against Derby County, which did not have much strength to fight back.

There is no suspense in the situation at all.

The only thing Derby could do was passive defense. Borton Reit stood at the front of the formation and waited for an opportunity to counterattack, but for a long time, he couldn't even receive the pass.

Manchester City achieved absolute suppression on the situation.

It can be seen that Derby County plays very tenaciously. The team led by Billy Davis still has the fighting spirit, perhaps because some of these players can play in the Premier League and have a rare chance of playing against strong teams like Manchester City, but no matter what, they play very hard.

This tenacious defense has caused a lot of trouble to Manchester City's offense.

Although the opponent's defense is very tight, Manchester City still has absolute strength to suppress it. In addition, the forward performance is good, Manchester City still scored two goals at the end of the first half.

“2:0!”

"The victory is decided!"

"Manchester City has led two goals, and there is no suspense in the game."

The live commentator Berbart has decided the outcome.

Derby coach Billy Davis sat in his seat and recalled Manchester City's dazzling attack and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Just now, Manchester City almost passed the ball into the goal. Faced with such a highly technical attack, the team had no way to defend. The originally stable defense line almost instantly became in chaos.

This is a total strength gap!

In fact, Billy Davis is still looking forward to this game. When he took the Derby County coaching point, he deeply remembered a name - Wansheng. Every Derby County fan knows Wansheng. The media in the Greater Derby County area will often compare him with Wansheng.

The result of comparison... Of course, they are worse in all aspects, even a lot worse.

Billy Davis also cared a little. Since he became the head coach, he has always wanted to erase the imprint of Wansheng in Derby County. He hopes to make Derby County truly "his own team".

A season hasn't been long, but he has done a lot.

The old men who had stayed in the team before and those who were not very strong were traded by him. In terms of tactics, he also insisted on balancing offense and defense, rather than continuing Derby County's previous offensive football.

Billy Davis did not deliberately change his tactics. He understood the offensive system constructed by Wansheng, but at that time, Derby County with Van der Fate, Ribery and Morris was definitely a strong team, but when he took over, it was completely different. Most of the powerful players in the team left, leaving only some players with average strength and difficulty in getting a better contract if they wanted to leave. These people are completely tactically marginal players, and new players who entered the team have very average technical strength. After all, their value is there, and it is impossible to have too strong strength.

Since the team generally has no technical strength, if you stick to that offensive football system, you will not be able to give full play to your advantages. Instead, the normal tactics of balanced offense and defense can allow the team to stabilize their results in the second-tier league.

Billy Davis led Derby County to the Championship and entered the Premier League again.

After another summer of transformation, Derby County has a solid staff and is still very strong. It is very telling when the first round draws against traditional powerhouse Portsmouth at home, but when they face Manchester City, the gap appears.

This young Chinese is really capable. The offensive football system he played has been used to exert terrible strength on Manchester City. At least Derby County has no power to fight back.

Just after the first half, Billy Davis knew that the team had no hope.

Recalling the coaching performance of this young man in Derby County, and looking at his current situation, even if he is unwilling to admit it, Billy Davis knows that he really thinks what the media in the Greater Derby County said: At least in terms of coaching the team, he is really not as good as this young Chinese.

The first half ended with Manchester City's two goals leading.

After a half-time break, the second half soon started again. It can be seen that Derby County is still performing tenaciously. Billy Davis did not give up the game completely. Perhaps he hopes that the team can perform better. At least scored the last goal, the players will have more confidence. After all, the opponent is the defending champion Manchester City, and it is another away game, so it is normal to lose.

Unfortunately, Manchester City's suppression is very strong, and Derby County has found an opportunity.

Even if they find an opportunity to launch a counterattack, Manchester City's pressing always makes them come back in vain. After time and time, even their players give up.

In the 65th minute of the game, Manchester City scored another goal, this time it was Robert Carlos!

In this game, Carlos got the opportunity. He followed the team's rhythm and grabbed the opponent's clearance ball in the frontcourt. After that, Carlos kicked his feet 25 meters away from the goal, with amazing strength. The football flew into the goal, and goalkeeper Bevorte could not stop it.

“gooooooooooooooal!!!”

"Robert"

"Carlos!!"
