Vol 3 Chapter 18: Marcus

?



Derbyshire draws with Blackburn, as coach Wan Sheng does not care much, after all, the league will last for a season, it is normal for a game not to win, the team always has good performance and bad performance, moreover, this The game is also a warning, letting the whole team know that they can't treat the game carelessly, and also letting them understand that the team did not win the Arsenal and won the league. They still have a long way to go.
Wan Shengto saw some problems in the game, such as the team is too young.
This is the most critical issue.
The team's strength is good, but it is too young. The main lineup striker Bolton-Wright partnered with Van der Vaart, both of whom are only 21 years old, midfielder Morris is the pillar, but Ribery is only 23 years old, although Ivan Crewe is of moderate age, but he is in the top league Experience can be said to be no. In addition, people like Ottoman, Alfred, Bynes, Ziegler, etc. are all young players who have just performed. For them, playing in the Premier League is the first time. Most of the team ’s players have little experience, which naturally has some impact on the results.
But there is no way.
He ca n’t expect the team to become mature immediately after entering the top league, which is very unrealistic, and the football experience is still very important, so Wansheng has set his goal only to 'try to win more games' and' try to fight In the Champions League quota, it is actually quite difficult to achieve these two rules. If you give the team two seasons, Wansheng is sure to compete for the championship, but it is still difficult for the current team to compete for the championship.
This is a reality that must be faced.
But young teams also have benefits. Like the last round of the game with Arsenal, when the team played out of the state, the performance is no worse than Arsenal. Even at Highbury Stadium, the team still achieved a four-ball victory. This is the case for the young team, which is good at playing downwind, but it is not guaranteed that every game will be downwind, so Wansheng still needs to give players some heart. Work, try to keep them in the headwind game. Can also perform well.
In this regard, the new assistant coach Walton Cooper.
Walton Cooper was originally a physical trainer, but he studied sports psychology. In fact, he is also a half-hearted doctor. While helping the team develop training plans, he can also give players some mental guidance. He did nothing worse than Wansheng.
After the game with Blackburn, Wan Sheng and Cooper comforted the team, let the players do not care about this game, and face the strength of the team, ready to play the next game.
The effect of this work is still good. At least the second day of training, the team has restored the relaxed atmosphere that it should have. Even if the restorative training is very hard, there is still a lot of fun in the team.
In short, the failure to defeat Blackburn has little effect on the Derby County team.
But Wan Sheng didn't care about the game. But some people care, that is the hostile media in Derbyshire. These hostile media have not paid attention to Derbyshire before, because they feel that Derbyshire has entered the Premier League. They do n’t deserve to report anything. After all, it ’s just a newly promoted team, but as Derby County beat Arsenal, they had to pull their attention back and grind their teeth to report on Derby County.
They were unwilling to make such reports, but Derby County beat Arsenal. There is no way for them not to report, if such games are not reported. Readers must be very dissatisfied with them.
There is a sentence called ‘Customer is God’. Readers are God to them. What readers like, they need to report. All reports are made without affecting sales.
They don't like to tout Derbyshire, tout Wansheng, but they have to do it.
What made them even more angry was that when they came to the Derbyshire club, they could n’t even interview Wansheng. Even though their colleagues were the same, some big media reporters were still very dissatisfied, especially the reporter of the Daily Mirror. They even Even the gates of the Derby County Club and the Pride Stadium are inaccessible. The Derby County Club almost wrote "Daily Mirror" reporters and dogs are not allowed in the door. In this case, "Daily Mirror" There are also some reports of praise for Derbyshire, and their mood can be imagined.
So when Derbyshire drew Blackburn in the second round, they smiled immediately because they had something to say.
After the victory over Arsenal, directly draw Blackburn?
The turning point of these two games can do a lot of internal analysis. What problems have occurred in Derbyshire that have led to such a big gap in performance between the two games?
First, it can be considered that the first game was just that Arsenal did not perform well.
"Derby County beat Arsenal at Highbury Stadium. The performance is indeed very good, but the reason for the victory may be due to the poor state of Arsenal. The defending champion has not recovered from the summer break. Several of their national teams Players, such as Campbell and others, have just participated in the European Cup and they have not yet fully adapted to the league ... "
Second, it can be considered that Derby County is only an tactical arsenal to defeat Arsenal. Arsenal could not adapt to Derby County ’s tactical play for a while, so they lost, but in the second game, Blackburn played against Derby County. France is ready, they guard the goal with a solid defense, so that there is no 'surprise victory', so Derby County is difficult to score.
Is there a basis for saying this, and do not look at Derby County only scored a goal, or is it a direct free kick?
"Derbyshire won a game with a summer preparation, but it is predictable that when the tactics are cracked, every team knows how to play in the face of Derbyshire, then they will be ready to meet a game Ready to lose again ... "
In addition, it can be understood as ‘this is God ’s punishment for arrogant people’.
There are still a lot of Catholic believers in the country of Britain. They believe in God, so this statement can still be recognized by many people. See? The young Chinese were too arrogant and arrogant, and God couldn't pass it, so they could only draw Blackburn with their efforts.
Of course, the last statement is more of a ridicule. However, the hostile media in Derbyshire have something to say. The Daily Mirror, as a representative, also conducted a series of analyses on Derbyshire's failure to defeat Blackburn. It feels like Derby County lost an important game, but in fact, Derby County just tied a league, nothing more.
Despite this, the Derby County league rankings are still very high, and after two rounds, Derby County has a win and a tie. Ranked fourth in the league with four goal difference, the first three teams all won two consecutive games. Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United are all behind Derby County because they have lost a game. England's four giants are only Chelsea's first two rounds of winning streak. Temporarily ranked first in the league.
The media is not a crusade against Derbyshire. After all, the media is not the same. The media headed by The Daily Mirror is a hostile media in Derbyshire. Derbyshire also has local support media. In addition, those neutral media He will also say a fair sentence.
Some media have raised the issue of 'Derbyshire is too young'.
For example, in the game against Blackburn, Derby County started eleven people, the average age is only 23.6 years old, this is because goalkeeper Karachi is a veteran. Otherwise, this number will be lower than 23, which is definitely quite terrifying data in the top league.
Too young will naturally lead to inexperience, so the ups and downs of the game will be normal.
These neutral reports are considered somewhat authentic. However, no matter how the media reports, Wan Sheng has no time to pay attention to it. He has long been accustomed to the outside world where there is always a "nothing to find" media. Especially now that Derbyshire has received more attention, the number of negative reports will naturally increase. This is actually quite normal. For example, a team like Manchester United, when they lose. The media across England are all sarcasm and irony, because they are Manchester United, they are the public enemy of the team in other parts of England, who let them rule the Premier League for nearly ten years?
So it doesn't matter if there are negative reports. This actually means that the team is still moving forward step by step. Otherwise, like a month ago, there was no other big media reporting on Derbyshire. It would be the worst to be left out.
Although this is true, Wan Sheng's mood is also very bad at this time, not because of media reports, but because the team captain Marcus was injured.
He was injured in the game against Blackburn.
I didn't think it was a big problem, but on the second day of the game, Wan Sheng received news that Marcus had been diagnosed and confirmed that his right leg calf muscle was broken and involved some old injuries. This time the injury is very serious and it is estimated that it needs It will take more than three months to recover, which does not count as the time for him to regain his state after recovery.
Wan Sheng is really anxious.
Marcus is still very important to the team. Although his performance is not as good as the frontcourt Morris, Ribery and others, and his age is almost 27 years old, but Marcus's experience is quite rich, the team is less There are teams that have participated in the top league, and he is also a defensive defender. Alfred ’s performance is also very good, but he is too young after all, and he needs Marcus to command a lot of times on the court. The team's defense has no doubt the importance of the team's game, his injury is a heavy blow to the team.
When Wan Sheng received this news, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the injury problems that he didn't encounter last season. He just encountered this season.
Marcus' injury means he needs Peter Kennedy, or Vidic, who just transferred, to replace him. But can these two really replace Marcus?
Wan Sheng is not sure.
He was a bit mentally ill, and he had a headache when he thought of it.
After arranging the team's training, Wansheng went directly to the hospital to visit Marcus. Marcus and his personal friendship were still good. What's more, Wansheng worried that Marcus would hurt Marcus in three months. Caused some psychological impact, so he needs to comfort Marcus.
His words of comfort are straightforward, "Do n’t worry, Browning, the doctor said you will recover in three months, but I guarantee your recovery time will be shorter!"
If other people, especially doctors, heard Wan Sheng say this, they would think that Wan Sheng was purely comforting Marcus, and it was still "unsincere" comfort. He is an old player in Derbyshire. When Wan Sheng was an assistant coach, he was on the team. Naturally, he knew that Wan Sheng would use a 'restorative training' method to help injured players recover quickly.
The first to benefit is Ian Taylor. Others like Ferdinand, Leiter, and others have also benefited in this respect. He was surprised before, but now he has great trust in Wansheng.
Since Wansheng said that it can recover faster, it must be possible!
He was injured for more than two months, but only in October. He only needs to quietly cultivate for two months. However, what Marcus is most worried about is not his injury, but his main position.
Derbyshire is now much more competitive than a year ago.
A year ago, Marcus did not have to worry about his main position even if he was injured, because no one could compete with him, but now it is different. The team has an excellent Alfred, Alfred Younger and stronger, he knew that he was better than Alfred only with experience. In addition, Vidic, a young teenager from the team's new transfer, is also very good. After a month of familiarization, he knows that players like Vidic may become a star in the future because his defense is doing very well. In addition to his younger experience, he could not find other shortcomings.
If I cultivate myself for two months, can I still have the main position?
Marcus had no idea.
However, Wan Sheng seemed to see through Marcus's mind. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com said what comforted him. He did not directly talk about the main position. Instead, he was worried about the team's back line and said, " Browning, your injury really caused me a lot of trouble, we have only three real central defenders, you, Baker and Nemania, and this season, we have to play in the league, there are two cups and Europe Races, so many races, even if you are not injured, I ca n’t make it a bit ... "
Marcus was no longer worried.
Wan Sheng is indeed telling the truth. There are two cups for the England team. There is also a tough league. In addition to the UEFA Cup, this schedule is a bit too much compared to the depth of the bench in Derbyshire. Frequently.
Marcus doesn't have to worry about the main position at all, because even if he is not the main force in the real sense, there will be many opportunities to play.
Does it matter whether it is the team's main force that can start in the top leagues and European competitions? What's more, he is the captain of the team. After the injury comes back, he will still be the captain of the team.
Marcus thought he was a tragedy. The team had just advanced to the top league. He would be injured for three months in two rounds. But after listening to Wan Sheng, he felt that he had nothing to worry about, and he was a ball. The team's old man, Wan Sheng will not forget him because he cultivated more than two months.
He doesn't have to be so pessimistic at all! (To be continued)
