Chapter 42 The Significance of Offensive Football

Before the game, Wansheng knew what McGerson said. It was when he led the team to the Pride Stadium, got off the bus and passed the mixed area, a city in Sandwell, West Midlands (West Midlands). Bromwich City) reporters told him.

Wan Sheng didn't expect that he was only half an hour late, and the other party actually spit at him first?

This game is very important to both sides, but it's just a round of the league. He didn't expect the opponent's coach to come to a preemptive strike. Is this an attempt to dampen the morale of Derby County?

Even if he dismissed the opponent's remarks, he couldn't lose face in the game. After listening to the reporter's words, Wan Sheng asked back, "What gave him the confidence that he would definitely be able to win at this stadium. Derbyshire?"

The reporter was about to open his mouth to explain in detail McGerson's theory of 'we understand their tactics and arrangements'. Wan Sheng asked himself and continued, "Is it a loss to Norwich? I think that should be the reason."

The reporter's face turned black when he heard it!

Losing to Norwich gave McGuerson the confidence to beat Derby County? Is this a reason for self-confidence, or is it a satire of West Bromwich Albion being kicked off the top spot in the league!

At this moment, Wansheng suddenly complimented Magerson, "I know him, he is an excellent coach, in 2002, he led West Bromwich to the Premier League."

Sandwell City reporters were very comfortable listening.

If the other side compliments McGerson, isn't that the same as complimenting West Bromwich Albion? Could it be that this young Chinese is also afraid of facing the mighty West Bromwich Albion?

"But..." Before they could think about it, Wan Sheng's voice suddenly took a big turn, "He is also a coach who led the team to lose to a strong team, just look at West Bromwich Albion's results last season. , they were only in the top flight for a year and then they came back. They lost to Norwich a while ago."

"That's right. He's a coach who can lead a team to upgrade, but he also loses to a strong team. So, this victory must belong to us!"

A reporter immediately couldn't help but retorted, "Even if you're right, compared to West Bromwich Albion. Derby County is not a strong team, right?"

"How come?" Wan Sheng shrugged. "Look at the league table, we are one point ahead of them, we are second in the league, they are only third in the league, and..."

"He is the coach who can lead the team to promotion, and I am the coach who can lead the team to the championship."

Wan Sheng explained with a smile.

This is the first time he has explained so much to reporters from other teams, why? Naturally, it is for the reporter to pass these words on to McGerson. That guy actually took the initiative to provoke a war of words, does he really think he is easy to bully?

After explaining it as a matter of course, Wan Sheng left the reporter's sight and went to the locker room with the players.

Those reporters who had just interviewed him stared blankly at the back of Wan Sheng's departure, and it took a while to react, and gritted their teeth bitterly, "It's exactly what the "Daily Mirror" said. This Young Chinese are really arrogant!"

"He actually said he was the head coach who led the team to the championship!"

"Unreasonable!"

"He also explains why Derby County won West Bromwich Albion for granted? It's ridiculous!"

"Let's see what he says after losing the game!"

"..."

These reporters really quickly conveyed Wansheng's original words to Magerson, and they hoped that Magerson could say something to fight back forcefully. But Magson just said angrily, "That's what he said!? What an arrogant guy!"

And then... it's gone.

McGerson is actually not a guy who is good at war of words. Originally, he thought that the other head coach was still young, so he just expressed his thoughts 'very sincerely'. Now he finds that the other side's words are very sharp, especially the other side's words. 'Put the facts' and 'reasonably', his team has just lost to Norwich, and he certainly won't be able to take advantage of the war of words, so naturally he won't say much.

But McGuerson was still annoyed.

The words of this young Chinese coach, except for the arrogance that he is the coach competing for the championship, all the other statements about West Bromwich Albion are all naked scars, and McGerson is naturally quite annoyed. Especially in the face of these remarks, he doesn't know where to start if he wants to refute.

McGuerson brings that mentality to the game as well.

The head coaches of the two teams shook hands politely before the game. Wan Sheng always had a smile on his face. His expression was very friendly, but McGerson was not so friendly. He patted Wan Sheng's hand symbolically, angry. Glancing at him, he turned and walked away to the West Bromwich Albion coaching bench.

Facing the camera, Wan Sheng shrugged and said, "What a rude guy..."

His voice is not small.

Not only was it captured by the camera in front of him, but Magson, who had just turned and left, also heard it. His footsteps followed for a while, and soon he continued to move forward as if he hadn't heard it. It is certain that he must be more in his heart. annoyed.

...

The confrontation between the coaches of the two teams, that is, the gossip and gossip of the commentators, did not affect the normal progress of the game. Soon after the two teams lined up, the whole game began under the whistle of the referee.

At the start of the game, the commentators and reporters were concerned about the starting lineups of both teams.

In the Derby County lineup, the most noteworthy is Frank Ribery. In the past two weeks, Ribery has been a topic player, not because of his good performance, but because of his poor performance. He is alone Derby County wasted a lot of chances in two games, and in the public opinion, such a player should stay on the bench instead of starting every game.

Various media outlets that have a bad relationship with Wansheng also use this to attack Wansheng. They say that Wansheng is a dictator and only allows players who are close to him to start.

Ribery is the most obvious example.

Ribery's appearance gave the narrators and reporters a lot of talk. They took advantage of this good reason and talked about Wansheng a lot before. Generally, coaches face such pressure, and this player is really in the game. In the case of poor performance in the game, the most rational choice is to not let him play.

Even if it is really 'letting people close to the game', it can be used when the subsequent attack is unfavorable. Putting on Ribery again, so that the media reporters will have nothing to say. After all, when the offense is unfavorable, it is normal to make substitutions and adjustments to change the situation.

But the Chinese didn't do that.

He still held on until Ribery played. Both the narrator and the reporters were very incomprehensible. Many people are thinking, is it really like what the "Daily Mirror" said, this Chinese likes to "play close players"?

It's unlikely.

Fans may be confused by what various reports say, but as professional reporters, they are naturally aware of the water mixed in media reports. Whether it is true or not can be determined by looking at the reports and the influence of the news media. . Such as the "Daily Mirror" report on Wansheng. At a glance, you can see that there is a lot of content in it that is worth scrutinizing.

Just like this one, 'Only send close people to the field'. If the young Chinese coach of Derby County really does this, there will definitely be a lot of conflicting voices within Derby County, but in fact, Derby County seems to be very united. There have been no internal locker room issues and their results are quite good. This shows that the Chinese lineup is still very reasonable, not as the "Daily Mirror" said.

But what is going on now?

Even seeing Ribery. The future of this French player, but if he wants to train him, he should also play in other games, not the current game against West Bromwich Albion. The importance of this game to both sides is self-evident, because it can directly determine the league In the top three rankings, which side loses the game is very important, so why does he do it?

Neither the narrator nor the reporters understood it.

In the broadcast room of the Pride Stadium, the commentator Alfie also wondered after introducing the starting lineups of the two teams, "Ribery's performance in the previous two games was not very good, he had a lot of opportunities, but only one assist data, It's nothing compared to the chance he wasted, but Wansheng let him start again, and I don't know why..."

You can also hear Alfie's voice, he is not optimistic about Ribery's performance.

...

Many West Bromwich Albion in the stands also know Ribery. During this time, there were many reports about Derby County in England. Ribery is one of the key words. As Derby County's opponent, West Bromwich Albion fans also Will be concerned about the opponent's situation.

These West Bromwich Albion fans were delighted to see Ribery play again.

This is good news for West Bromwich Albion!

The French player's performance has been criticized by the media. Now that he is starting again, the opponent's attack will definitely be affected. West Bromwich Albion fans are happy to see the opponent's manager make a wrong decision Does not affect their preparation to make fun of Ribery, who made this player so 'famous' recently?

So when Derby County attacked for the first time and Ribery got the ball and made a mistake in passing the ball to the bottom line, there was laughter from West Bromwich Albion from the stands.

"It sure is this guy!"

"He's as ridiculous as those media reports! Keep conceding! Keep conceding! What a wise decision for Derby County to play him!"

"Let's just keep watching him lose the ball! That's really interesting!"

Ribery heard the roar of laughter in the stands.

There were only more than 3,000 people in West Bromwich Albion who came to the Pride Stadium, and the sound was not too loud compared to the noise of the whole stadium, but Ribery happened to be facing the stands of that side.

But Ribery didn't care at all.

During this time, he was under a lot of pressure from the outside world, but he didn't care at all, because he knew that those reports were not aimed at himself, but aimed at head coach Wansheng. He was just one of the media reporters used to criticize Wansheng. head.

Even so, the pressure is not small, but Ribery is a little used to it, and more importantly, he is very aware of his underperforming players.

But after this period of training and the running-in of the two league games, the team has made great progress in terms of aspects, and his teammates have cooperated with him a lot. Tried to kick the ball to the opposing player for a corner but failed.

It doesn't matter.

It was only one attack that failed, and he was used to it in these two games.

Ribery shrugged nonchalantly in the direction of West Bromwich Albion's stand, and was soon back in the game.

...

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines watching the game carefully.

Unlike other people's concerns, Wansheng didn't care about Ribery's performance at all, because he knew that the team's cooperation could already play some, so Ribery's performance should not be too bad anyway.

All he cares about is defense.

The defensive adjustment a few days ago will have any effect. This game will verify the appearance. West Bromwich Albion’s technical strength is still stronger than Derby County, and their offensive ability is also very strong, so the game will definitely be tested. The effect of defensive changes.

Good or bad, it depends on this one.

Wan Sheng is somewhat confident.

In fact, he is very clear about the deficiencies of this 'adding bread' type of defense, and also understands how the opponent does it. The greatest threat to the team's defense is simply to use England's most traditional long pass to rush to hang. There is a fast forward who can easily break through all defenses as long as the offside is successful.

But only if West Brom have time to adjust.

They don't know the team's defensive method yet. That is to say, even if McGerson's coaching ability is high enough to see the shortcomings of this defensive strategy, if he wants to adjust, he must rest at halftime. That said, the team's defense should be very safe.

If the defense is unfavorable in the first half, it means that the defensive adjustment has completely failed.

So Wansheng is very concerned about the team's defense.

As for the second half, even if the opponent's head coach saw the weakness of the team's defense and took advantage of the long pass to find opportunities, he didn't plan to make any adjustments at all.

You know, Derby County is an attacking tactic!

Offensive tactics can only focus on offense. Although defense is very important and is the basis for tactical launching, offense is the most important. As long as it is an offensive tactic, defense will definitely have loopholes, but it does not mean that the opponent has seized the loopholes in the team's defense. can take advantage.

First of all, anti-offside can only find opportunities if it is successful.

If the anti-offside fails, it is equal to offside, and the offensive opportunity will naturally be missed.

If you want to succeed in anti-offside, it depends on the ability of the players, the timing, and luck. If there are many failures, the impact on the team will still be great-every failure means giving up attacking opportunities and handing over the football. given to the other party.

The team has more attacking opportunities, which means that the chances of scoring goals will naturally increase.

In addition, Derby County originally played attacking football.

What is offensive football?

It's not who has a stronger defense with the opponent, but who has more goals with the opponent!
