Vol 4 Chapter 115: Recover the chance of face

In the UEFA Cup semi-final, the match of Atletico Lisbon against Derbyshire should have been a focus of attention. However, in the current Chelsea Champions League Liverpool and the league championship in England, it is difficult to cause the media interest of.
Perhaps this is also related to the influence of the UEFA Cup.
The eyes of the world on the European stadium are mostly concentrated on the European Champions Cup. The second-level UEFA Cup is difficult to attract, not to mention, out of Portugal, Sporting Lisbon is not a strong concern. The team, because of this, attracted few foreign media from this game, not even the English media who followed Derby to Portugal.
Perhaps the only ones who really care about the game are Derby County ’s own media and a few media from various countries that care about the performance of their players.
For example, there are several reporters from China who come to interview, and they are concerned that the victory or defeat is not to support Derby County, but because Derby County is a team led by Wan Sheng.
Belgium and France also have media interviews. They are concerned about the status and performance of Reto Ziegler and Frank Ribery, so that they can 'persuade' the national team to recruit outstanding players.
In short, there is not much concern about the victory or defeat of the Derby County UEFA Cup ∵ ★, maybe the UEFA Cup wants to be attractive, it is only possible to the finals.
In this news environment, the Derby County team silently went to Portugal, and then silently took away the victory.
Derby County showed a magnificent offensive at the Jose Alvalade Stadium, scoring three goals in the first half and separating Portugal with a 1: 3 ratio.
With this victory, Derby County equalled one foot into the UEFA Cup final.
Despite the big score win, the English media only slightly reported the game after the game. Congratulations to the optimistic situation of Derbyshire entering the final. Then they began to care about the Premier League championship competition. The top four teams in the league are currently Derbyshire, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United. Derby County has 4 more points than Chelsea, Chelsea has 9 more points than Arsenal, and Manchester United has 4 points less than Arsenal.
With only three rounds left in the league, it is not easy to change this ranking.
It can only be said that Chelsea still have the chance to win the championship, and Manchester United still have more chances than Arsenal to win the league third.
In this situation, the game of Derby County against Arsenal is crucial.
Arsenal's current problem is Henry.
In the last round, Arsenal took away the victory at the White Hart Lane Stadium, but Henry was injured in the game. The young Dutch teenager Van Persie scored the only goal in the game. The result of the game was beneficial to Arsenal. They still lead Manchester United by 4 points, but Henry's injury is definitely a blow to Arsenal, and they have to face Derby County without Henry.
The good news is that Henry only needs two weeks to make a comeback, which means that he can still catch up with the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. The Gunners and the Red Devils will fight for the most intense fight for the FA Cup title.
With the rise of Chelsea and Derbyshire this season, Arsenal and Manchester United both seem to have disappeared. Coupled with the Champions League being eliminated, the League Cup champion was taken by Derbyshire. The two teams need to face the embarrassment of nothing in the entire season. Both teams performed well in the FA Cup. They both entered the finals, so this Cardiff Millennium Stadium contest has become crucial.
The winner. The only championship trophy will be used to restore the bleak performance of the entire season, the loser will suffer the embarrassment of nothing.
Arsenal's "shooter king" Henry is expected to catch up with this "life and death battle", which is good news for Arsenal. But they must first face the battle against Derbyshire without Henry. This game is related to Arsenal's ranking in the league. After all, they are only four points more than Manchester United. If they lose, Manchester United is likely to surpass them.
But the situation facing Arsenal is not good-they lost Henry and played away. Although many media used the word "revenge" to boost morale before the game, they lost to Derby in Highbury in the first round. The county scene, still hovering in the minds of Arsenal players, now loses Henry, how many opportunities can they have at Pride Stadium?
No one can answer this question.
Neither can Wenger.
In the interview conducted before the game, Wenger did not talk much about the game, and he was even more uncomfortable with the media's "offensive war".
This attitude disappointed the media somewhat.
But in fact, the French have no way. The overall strength of Arsenal is okay. It is difficult to say who wins and loses head-to-head with Derbyshire, but it is completely different after losing Henry. Van Persie is not Henry after all, the other one has been The downturned Spanish boy Reyes is also very difficult to carry the beam. In this case, it is very difficult to go to the Derby County with the lineup and Derby County, which has stars such as Van der Vaart and Ribery.
Wenger knew this, so he didn't talk much before the game.
At the same time, Derbyshire is also at ease to prepare for the battle. In an interview, Wan Sheng did not talk much about the game. At this time, he does not need to provoke his opponent with words. Silently winning is the most important thing. If it is really exciting Arsenal had to start a life-and-death battle with Derby County, which would not be of any benefit to the team.
The media is still more optimistic about Derby County before the game, because the Derby County lineup is complete, and is at home, and Arsenal lost Henry, it is difficult to face Derby County.
This is the view of many people.
In fact, they are right. After losing Henry, Arsenal ’s offensive efficiency becomes a key issue. If it is a positive attack, the offensive efficiency can almost directly determine the outcome. Arsenal without Henry is obviously in a weak position. So Wenger had to adjust his tactics.
Arsenal did not choose to play against Derby County.
At the beginning of the game, everyone saw that there was no impact of Henry on Arsenal. They did n’t even dare to face Derbyshire directly. They just went to defend and defend again and again, and strengthened the defense, as if Arsenal had become A defensive player.
Arsenal did not do this for the first time this season, but when they saw them do it again, the media and fans were still disappointed.
Obviously Arsenal look forward to keeping the goal. If Derby County makes a mistake, they do n’t mind using a quick counterattack to find a chance to score.
Overall, Arsenal is still defensive.
Seeing Arsenal's style of play, Wan Sheng also had to admire Wenger. Arsenal was crowned as 'the England's best offense team', but the French could see Derby without Henry. It was unwise to play a counterattack, so he chose to defend. It was very difficult to make this choice. If he failed, he would definitely be criticized by various public opinion. However, for the Arsenal league situation, Wenger did so.
Because they don't do this, they are likely to lose the game by a large margin.
Derby County played very well in the whole game. They played a repression and attacked. The middle and two sides continued to pass the ball forward, which put great pressure on the Arsenal defense, although Arsenal defense is very strict. However, there was always a loss for Bai Mi. At the 73rd minute of the game, Derby County still scored.
This is Van der Vaart's goal!
After cooperating with Morris, Van der Vaart ran to the position, followed by a direct shot, this accurate shot hit Campbell, Arsenal goalkeeper Lehman was too late to save, only to watch the football fly in goal.
"!"
"1: 0! Van der Vaart!"
"Van der Fatt helped Derbyshire break the deadlock! This powerful shot showed the calmness of the Dutch shooter in front of the goal. Arsenal goalkeeper Lehman almost did not react, and Derbyshire led Arsenal 1: 0!"
"..."
As the narrator's excitement shouted, Pride Stadium also went crazy.
This is the only goal in the game.
In the end, the game ended with the lost eyes of Arsenal players. In the noise, Wan Sheng and Wenger came to the middle and smiled and shook hands with each other.
"You guys play very well, and hope that in the next game, you can win the championship at Old Trafford!" Wenger said with a smile.
It seems that he doesn't care about losing at all.
Hearing Wenger's words, Wan Sheng stunned and smiled immediately, "I promise, I will."
Wenger's smile on his face gloated and turned away from the stadium. He only hoped that Wansheng could do what he said, then Arsenal lost, it didn't matter.
...
Overall, this is a disappointing process.
But for Derbyshire, victory is the best result, because victory means that they are closer to the league champion ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Derbyshire players and fans celebrate frantically after the game.
Wan Sheng also hugged with the players on the court, but he is still calm. After all, he is still not sure of winning the league title. It is still too early to celebrate.
There are two rounds left in the league, and at least they have to win the next round.
As Wenger said, Wan Sheng hopes to win the next round, because the next round is a match against Manchester United, but that is the game at Old Trafford Stadium, if you can take the team there The splendid stadium took away the championship trophy, which is really exciting.
Now, three years later, Wan Sheng still remembers the loneliness when he left Manchester United.
He is just a coach of the junior team, no one cares, even if he leaves, the Manchester United club does not care, and there is only one McGuinness gloating, others may not even remember his name.
Now, three years later, he has a chance to recover his face.
He is going to lead his team to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford ... taking away the league champion! ! ! (To be continued ...) Easy. Look. Little. Say.
