Vol 3 Chapter 67: End of halfway

This weekend is the seventeenth round of the Premier League and Derby County's opponent is Charlton. 【Starting】
Charlton is not a strong team, they joined the ranks of the Premier League in 2001, since then, the Charlton team re-killed back to the Premier League, and fought as a dark horse in the Premier League so far.
In the new season, Charlton's recruitment is not noticeable, but the introduction is all practical players, Brian Hughes of Birmingham has a delicate skill, and the Danish forward Romedal of Eindhoven has the skill. Extraordinary.
Under the leadership of coach Kubisli, the media believe that Charlton will still be the headache of the last season.
After sixteen rounds of the league, Charlton also proved this with their results. They ranked ninth in the league. In comparison, the results are very good. This momentum is maintained. Charlton does not have to worry about relegation at all. You can even go for European places.
Charlton and Derbyshire have no intersection. If in general, they encounter a newly promoted horse, they will definitely take the opportunity to take all three points, but Derbyshire has more 'dark horses' than them this season, currently ranked second in the league. The results gave Charlton pressure when facing Derbyshire.
In order to get points, coach Kubisli arranged a strict defense and abandoned the offense. They just didn't want Derby County to score a goal, and a score was considered a victory.
If a certain football association hears this sentence, there must be a sense of sympathy ... But Charlton can do much better than a certain football association, because Kubisli ’s work is very practical, and their defense is indeed It's not bad. Charlton's so-called 'difficult bones' also stems from this. It is not that easy to break through the defense line they are fully guarding.
Derby County, as a team that is good at attacking, the media still hopes for them.
However, this game Wansheng did not intend to return the team to its original tactics to defeat the opponent with a gorgeous offensive, he just wanted to counterattack with a solid defense to deal with the next difficult schedule, so that the team adapted to tactics The most important. So in the face of Charlton, Wan Sheng did not change his tactics.
But he believed that even with a solid defense, he responded to Charlton with a fast-breaking football. They also have a chance to score.
This was a test of Derby County fast break football, and the results proved that Wan Sheng's judgment was correct.
Throughout the game, Charlton defended very tightly, but Derbyshire was no longer the original Derbyshire. Even if they do not use offensive-based tactics, they have a lot of offensive methods. Coordination, long shots, positioning balls, etc. are all good methods for Derby County. In addition, Derby County frontcourt van der Vaart and other players are repressive Strength, Charlton is too difficult to hold for 90 minutes.
The goal appeared in the thirty-seventh minute of the first half. Van der Vaart dribbled the frontcourt for Derby County to secure a good position for the ball.
Ivan Kludangren refused to take the free kick. He broke the Charlton gate with a footed arc hanging door that bypassed the wall and helped the team rewrite the score to 1: 0.
In the end, with this goal, Derbyshire beat Charlton 1: 0.
1: 0 defeat to Charlton. For the magnificent Derby County, it is actually nothing, so after the game, the Derby County team still seemed very low-key. Wan Sheng did n’t say much at the press conference. This victory seemed to him. It's nothing.
However, the media supporting Derbyshire after the game was very excited, because Chelsea had an away draw with Arsenal in this round, and Derbyshire's points were again tied to Chelsea. Although the goal difference was not squeezed out of Chelsea's first place, The catch-up points are exciting enough.
for this problem. Wan Sheng also talked with a smile, "Arsenal's performance is very good, Henri used the performance to prove his worth. With two goals, he is a great forward. Chelsea's performance is also very good. But if it is me, I It must not be said that 'a draw can be accepted' after the game. For the first league match, a draw is a failure. "
Next, Wan Sheng said, "But I like to see Chelsea do not win, so that we have a chance. I think. After Christmas, the league's first throne will change its owner."
Except for some Derbyshire support media that specifically reported Wansheng's comment on the game between Chelsea and Arsenal, other media have little interest in it, so even Wansheng talked about squeezing Chelsea after Christmas, there is no Chelsea. Support the media to refute.
In fact, mainly because this game is too hot.
Arsenal face Chelsea at home, to a certain extent, it can also be said to be London Derbyshire, because the two teams are the strongest in London.
Before the game, Chelsea had just lost the game. That was Chelsea ’s first defeat in the European Champions Cup, and facing the old club Porto. This is Mourinho ’s return, but he probably did not expect this to be a double blow. In addition to losing the game, an unauthorized autobiography, "The Winner, From Setubal to Stamford Bridge", turned out to be more expensive than the autobiography he wrote himself, and was dismissed in court.
However, back in London, Mourinho became the arrogant "God No. 2" (Mourinho once said in front of the media, "After God, it is me!", So he became God II No.), when did Arsenal not look good in Highbury?
But before the game, the Guardian's five major columnists predicted that this "judgment day" game, no one is optimistic about Arsenal.
Most of this is due to people's trust in Mourinho, a weird "thinker". Before the game, Mourinho issued a vicious attack at a press conference that was almost doubled, "just 10 points. , 7 points, or 4 points, then we can welcome two home games comfortably. Remind you that in the two and a half years of Porto, I never lost an important game, whether it was against Benfica or Sporting Lisbon. "
After saying this, Mourinho added a "reminder", "10 points is a big gap!" He also advocated his fans to sing after the game, "We are still the first in the league."
Wenger has always conceded on the court, as well as off the court. "I am fully aware that everything may change in an instant." Facing the optimism of the Portuguese, he dismissed it. "I don't care what he says. We play at home, we just want to win .. I do n’t believe it, their fans can laugh when they lose. "
The French are not accustomed to the Portuguese ’s somewhat arrogant attitude of self-confidence,
What great results, were they 17th in the league last year? They have a good foundation in the league ’s second and Champions League semi-finals. Now it ’s spent again So much money, is it justified without progress? The money we spend is on the same level as Newcastle and Tottenham. Without money, you need to be a little creative. "
Wenger then referred to Derby County and gave Mourinho a fatal blow. "Derbyshire is just a newly promoted horse, and it is basically balanced in the summer, but they are only two points less than his team. After this, maybe the league will change the first place."
"This is the comparison of 100 million euros and 0 euros. Two league points, haha ​​..."
Mourinho was certainly not a suffocator, he immediately said, "Do n’t take other teams, does Henry not spend money? Is Vieira on loan? Is it true that Reyes gave them to them? Christmas present? "
Then the two continued to argue and drool, but everyone knew that this was a trick between two cunning coaches to disrupt the military.
The excitement before the game also affected the game. The game seemed to be the continuation of the war between the two coaches. The final result also proved. The contest between the two is about the same.
Chelsea fans can sing "We are number one in the league", and Arsenal fans can also respond to "We have never beaten us at Highbury in 14 years (in the league)".
Derbyshire, a bystander, laughed.
However, Wan Sheng didn't just cheer on Chelsea. He also complimented Wenger by the way. After all, in the Premier League coaches, Wenger has a good relationship with himself. Ferguson is the enemy, Mourinho is the biggest competitor, Benitez is a stranger who has no communication, so Wan Wen is still very friendly to Wenger who 'helps' the team to regain points. "Congratulations to him Get the best coach. This honor should belong to him. In the upcoming 2004, Arsenal is the most successful in Europe. This is what he deserves. "
Wan Sheng is talking about a recent selection.
British Sports recently selected the best manager of the 2004 Premier League. Despite the current momentum of Chelsea, Arsenal coach Wenger won this title with his excellent record last season.
The fact is the same. Overall, the 2004 Premier League protagonist is still Arsenal. Last season they won the Premier League championship with an undefeated record and officially crowned in April. In 38 games, Arsenal won 26 victories and an additional 12 draws, including a 2-2 draw with Tottenham at the White Hart Lane Stadium that put them on the Premier League throne.
Also worth mentioning is their undefeated record. Before losing to Manchester United 0-2, Arsenal continued the 49 league unbeaten, breaking the previous 42 undefeated record held by the Nottingham Forest.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Derbyshire.
After playing the game with Charlton, taking advantage of the rare pre-Christmas free time, Wan Sheng gave the players three days of leave and three days of rest. Wan Sheng only told them to pay attention to their bodies and relax at the same time. At the same time as taking a long breath, it is also preparing for the next match.
The holiday is not just a rest, it is mainly to allow players to adjust their mentality, the body is important, and the mentality is also important. Always in tension, always need to relax, Wan Sheng himself is the same, he has been worried about this for the team, worried about that, but during the holiday, he can still relax.
Wan Sheng didn't even think about the team, he rested easily at home for three days.
In three days, Wan Sheng and Dali spent a day and spent a day at University College London. On the last day, he left it to himself and slept for nearly 20 hours at home. After that, he went out to eat At breakfast, when a neighbor greeted him, Wan Sheng responded, "Holiday is over!"
Three days really passed very quickly.
Four days later, Derbyshire ushered in a new round of the league. They defeated Birmingham 0: 2 away. There is no suspense in this game. Birmingham's strength is not very strong. They have only ranked in the Premier League this season. 15th, this ranking even has to work hard for relegation.
This victory seems a bit bland in the media. Derby County scored two goals in the audience, no more and no less, so there is nothing worth reporting, but for Derby County, it is quite good to end with a victory as the half. Not bad.
But Wansheng was actually very satisfied with the team ’s performance, because in this game, he used a part of the rotation, Ribery, Alfred and Leighton Bynes did not play. In this case, He could easily beat Birmingham with two goals on the road. He felt he could arrange as many rotations as possible without hurting.
In the past six months, the rotation of the team has been infrequent. When facing the strong teams, most of them are a main lineup, but it is different after Christmas. The intensive schedule is a headache, and Wan Sheng is not bad. This method is not used to guarantee the team's status.
The game against Birmingham proved that the substitute players can also play well, which shows that the team has become more mature in the application of the 'os-fast' tactical system. At the same time, in the past six months, everyone in the team has improved. In the eyes, the football training master system can clearly see these, so Wan Sheng is still very confident about what the team can do after Christmas.
By this time, the media had also begun a half-time summary.
No one regards Derbyshire as a relegation team, because Derbyshire ranks second in the league halfway, with the same points as the first Chelsea. No one will mention what 'Derbyshire is facing a crisis'. They are most for Christmas. The intensive schedule after the festival is
worried
because anyone with long eyes will know that even after Christmas, Derby County ’s performance has declined, and their performance this season is definitely not bad.
By this time, many fans' impressions of Derbyshire have also changed.
Previous media reports gave them the impression that Derbyshire has been winning by luck, and it is just a dark horse no matter how bad it is, but now these fans are awakening ~ EbookFREE.me ~ They found that the media reports are not true at all. Can teams that rely on luck, or just promoted horses and dark horses, tie in with the strong Chelsea points in the half-way? Even 6 points more than the third Manchester United, and 7 points more than the fourth Arsenal, this result is enough to block the mouth of many people.
So many interested fans began to collect information about Derby County and re-examine this relatively unfamiliar team.
They soon discovered the outstanding feature of this Derbyshire-it was so young!
Young too much!
Before the Premier League had a team called Leeds United, their nickname was 'Youth Army', but look at the majority of the main players in Derby County who are not over 25 years old, and even under 23 years old occupy most of the main lineup. Any other team It is estimated that there is no confidence to say "youth army", this is the real youth army, and the strength of this youth army is quite good. They have the same points in the half-time as Chelsea with the league's first and big names, and this season is fully expected. Compete for the league championship.
When many people realize this, Derbyshire gets more attention. (To be continued.) Xh118
.... easy. Look. Small. Say.
