Chapter 53: Alfred again!

Nottingham Forest head coach Hart is sitting steadily on the coach seat, watching the game on the field, confident.
The same team in East Midlands, and in the same league, there is still a lot of attention between the two teams. When Wan Sheng became the coach of Derbyshire, Hart soon knew.
He didn't pay too much attention.
But before playing against Derbyshire, Hart studied the last game of Derbyshire against Bradford, which was the only game this new coach led, which was very helpful in formulating the game strategy with Derbyshire. . From a coach's perspective, it can be seen that the key to Derby County's goal in that game was the substitution of more than eighty minutes.
The local Moyers played and Derby County's counterattack immediately became smoother.
In other words, this young Chinese coach in Derbyshire is not a "straw bag" as the media said, winning is not entirely dependent on luck, he still has a little ability, so Hart has no sloppyness in dealing with the game main idea.
But when he got the big list of Derbyshire appearances, Hart was still puzzled, because a very strange name appeared on the Derbyshire starting list.
Baker-Alfred?
Who is this?
Hart was completely at a loss. Only after a little understanding did he realize that he was a player promoted by the Derby County youth team. He was younger than 20 years old, and he was very young, and he had no previous professional league game experience. Without even coming off the bench or warming up, he only participated in the Youth League in central England.
Such a young man can actually start in the first league?
Is really an accident!
Hart couldn't understand why Alfred would start. He felt that this was a mistake made by the opponent, and as an opponent, all he needed was to catch the opponent's mistake.
The former central defender combination of Derby County was Marcus and Nico Hertz, and now it has become Marcus and Alfred. Nico Hertz is good and performs better than Captain Marcus. The combination of the two central defenders has always been very calm and sophisticated, and is the cornerstone of Derby County's defense. Now, Alfred's point is likely to be the key to their victory.
So before the players played, Hart kept telling him to find opportunities at Alfred's point.
As long as they can find a breakthrough in Derbyshire defense, even if they defend with all their strength, it is useless. No matter how good the formation is, there are holes in the gaps. It is useless to defend well in other places. As long as you catch this hole, Nottingham Forest can play. It's smooth and easy to find a chance for a fatal blow.
Hearing this from the head coach, Nottingham Forest players were also very excited.
They are ready to learn ‘learning rookie’. In the professional league, it ’s really interesting to be able to learn rookie.
Just like this, the game had just started. Nottingham Forest made a fierce offensive against Alfred's point. Their football kept passing in the direction of the penalty area. They wanted to find a gap from Alfred. The chance of a fatal blow.
Such targeted attacks will have considerable pressure on any defensive player.
In the face of such pressure, some inexperienced young players are likely to collapse. Almost every Derbyshire player is worried about Alfred, and the Derbyshire fans in the stands are also sweating for Alfred. .
Many media reporters have already concluded Alfred—
"... Maybe he will be an excellent central defender in the future, but now, his future is cut off ahead of time. It's just that he ran into a rookie coach who didn't leave him any room for growth and let him face him directly. To the cruel professional league! "
……
Wan Sheng sat on the coach seat, his expression looked calm, but his eyes kept staring at Alfred's direction.
He knew the pressure Alfred was going to bear.
When he chose to make Alfred the starting center defender, he knew that he must face these, but he still chose this way, not only in this position, there is no better choice, but also his Alfred's trust.
He chose to believe in Alfred.
At the same time, he also believed that Alfred trusted himself. As long as he believed in himself, this firm belief would allow him to show his ability, so there would be no problem with defense.
Gives Wan Sheng confidence, as well as Alfred's spiritual attribute evaluation.
Whether it is a "firm" evaluation in pursuit of victory in the game, or a "will" evaluation against the difficult, or a "confidence" evaluation that Alfred lacked before, the value is very high, the only slightly lower It is 'confidence'. After all, Alfred has not participated in the professional league, and his confidence in his first game is still slightly insufficient. This evaluation has only '71' points.
But the bet is that Alfred can increase his confidence in himself and the game after he has successfully defended again and again.
As long as he can complete several successful defenses, Wan Sheng believes that he will definitely overcome the obstacles in his heart and grow into a stable back defense for the team. Slowly, he will also stand out, become a defensive general, a defensive backbone, and become a famous star.
And this game is used to hone him.
That's right, Wansheng used the game against Nottingham Forest as a platform to hone Alfred. As long as he succeeds, he will be able to reap an outstanding young central defender genius and fail, but Alfred is not very useful for a short time.
That's all.
Like he said to Diamares, he can afford to lose!
However, Wan Sheng did not like failure. He stared at Alfred, hoping that Alfred could perform well, which would also represent his success.
……
Derby County bench, some people were not satisfied with Alfred's sending Alfred, it was Peter Kennedy. When Gregory coached the team, Kennedy was the team's midfielder. Although he did not have a clear main position, he often started.
Once he saw Nico Hertzger sent to the youth team, he thought he would become the main center defender, but he didn't expect Wansheng to choose Alfred.
A competitor never thought of.
Actually, Peter Kennedy doesn't care about not being a starting central defender. After all, he is not a pure central defender. Even if he is clearly the main central defender, he will return to the waist position after the summer and next season.
Starting a few games, that is not called the main force.
But he hasn't competed with Alfred, but he still makes Kennedy feel uncomfortable. Even if he is not a pure center defender, is he not as good as a rookie?
He had some hope that Alfred would be defeated soon.
……
Nottingham Forest's attack is quite fierce!
As an offensive team, they suppressed the Derby County at the beginning of the game at the familiar City Square stadium.
All players in Nottingham Forest formed a sharp spear, and the spear tip flashed towards the Derbyshire with cold light, and the Derbyshire players formed a hard shield to meet the spear's attack. This is a spear and a shield. Contest.
Alfred is the point of contact between the spear and the shield.
Although he was supported by other teammates, he still faced a lot of pressure. If he collapsed, the shield would collapse, and he became a top priority in maintaining Derby County defense.
A rookie who is participating in the professional league for the first time, but has to face such pressure, it is really worrying.
Almost everyone looked at it.
As everyone thinks, Nottingham Forest has been actively looking for Alfred's point to attack. When Nottingham Forest attacked, Alfred didn't even have a breathing time, football always reached him. In position, he had to face defensive pressure all the time.
again and again……
Before the opponent passes the ball to the penalty area, he is going to defend the opponent's player close to his body, and he will not allow the opponent to break through and find a chance to steal; the opponent dribbles the ball in front of the penalty area. Lifting the ball high into the penalty area, he needs to compete with the opponent's striker, compete for points, and push the ball out of the danger zone.
In the face of repeated attacks, Alfred needs stability to do well every time without any mistakes. He knows that the most important thing for the central defender is stability.
At the beginning, Alfred was still a little nervous.
He was really excited when he played in the professional league for the first time. He was inspired by captain Marcus, but when football really came and he needed to face defense, he still did n’t know if he could response.
But the first defense was successful.
He personally defended the opponent's striker, did not allow the opponent to have a chance to shoot, and even the pass was not in place. As a result, the football was kicked out of bounds by other teammates.
Succeeded again for the second time.
Football came high from the wing. He stiffly carried the opponent's striker and jumped with a height advantage to push the ball out of the penalty area.
The third defense was still successful ...
the fourth time……
Defensive success time and time again gave Alfred great confidence. He didn't know if he could cope at the beginning, but he gradually found out that professional football is no more than that. Just like on the training ground, he only needs to do his defensive work, and stable defense does not make mistakes. Ability to respond to the offensive of the opponent-
He found that he has the ability to cope with these!
Self-confidence can perform better. Success after success brings self-confidence, and self-confidence brings better performance. This is a virtuous circle, and Alfred is using the performance on the field to prove.
Derby County coach seat.
Wan Sheng looked at Alfred's defensive performance again and again, he took a breath and smiled.
……
Many people on the scene paid attention to Alfred's performance.
There are media reporters, two teams of players, coaches, and many fans in the audience. As long as you pay careful attention to the game, whether you are a senior football player or not, you can see that Alfred's point is very important.
This is a rookie.
They all feel that the rookie rookie will not perform well. They also saw that Alfred's defensive performance is indeed a bit difficult, but also a bit young, he is constantly adjusting himself to face the attack of Nottingham Forest.
His face was very serious.
It ’s like seriousness, and it ’s like fear and fear. There are many ways to interpret the expressions of players on the field. The interpretation of the commentator Lyle Woodgate is the latter. When the big lens points to Alfred, he is high A cry, "Did you see? This young man is worried about defense!"
Dirty jerseys, dirt on the face, seemed to explain Woodgate's words.
The only thing needed is a chance to verify that the young man made a mistake on defense and then Nottingham Forest took the opportunity to hit the ball into the Derby County goal.
"Nottingham Forest is making a stormy offensive against Alfred's point. It seems that Alfred is very nervous. He can't stand it. The home team's goal is only a matter of time!" Lyle Woodgate Emphasized.
Many people support his argument.
Then they began to look forward to Alfred's mistakes, looking forward to Nottingham Forest's goal, they waited and waited, it was only a matter of time, just waited.
One minute.
five minutes.
ten minutes.
twenty minutes.
The score on the field is still 0: 0. Alfred made no big mistakes, but everyone found that Derby County's defense was becoming more and more stable.
At the beginning of the game, Nottingham Forest still had a chance to shoot, but in the last five minutes, Nottingham Forest did not even have a shot. What they expected, a breakthrough at the point of Alfred seemed to be a joke because Alver Reid didn't make big mistakes at all, and his defense has always been tenacious.
Faced with the offensive of Nottingham Forest against him, he resisted for twenty minutes!
Twenty minutes is a critical point in time. No team will attack for more than 20 minutes in a row, not only physical fitness, but also the player ’s confidence. It is a big problem-no goal is scored for 20 consecutive minutes. Can you score goals if you continue?
So generally speaking, at the time of 20 minutes, the offensive rhythm will slow down a little bit, and they also need to make some adjustments in order to complete the 90-minute game.
But Nottingham Forest did not do so.
Attack for twenty minutes in a row, even if there is no goal, what makes them unacceptable is that they did not break through the opponent's rookie defense once!
This is really unacceptable.
Each of their front-court players ~ EbookFREE.me ~ feels that they have no problem facing the rookie and break through defense. Everyone sees the failure of others and thinks it is a mistake, or is absolutely careless, etc., no Faced with themselves, they simply don't believe how good a rookie defense can be.
Then their offensive was more violent.
over and over again……
Alfred's pressure did not ease, but increased a lot. But after twenty minutes of competition, he has adapted to the opponent's constant offensive. When adapting to this rhythm, all he needs to do is persevere, stable defense, stable performance, this is what he needs to do, know how to do, To follow the way of thinking, for him, defense is just a task that is repeated again and again, and the pressure is gradually reduced.
With the Nottingham Forest offensive, Alfred did better!
He became the focus of the audience-
"Alfred broke the ball!"
"Alfred! He blocked the shot with his body! He is an iron man and bravely blocked the gun with his body!"
"Alfred again, he pushed the ball out of the penalty area to complete a clean and free rid!"
What many people do n’t realize is that their attitude towards watching Alfred has changed.
They had been thinking about when this young rookie would make mistakes so that Nottingham Forest could use the opportunity to score the ball, and now what they wanted to see was that Alfred had another successful defense, the sentence 'again is Al Fred ', it sounds really happy!
