Chapter 43 The Undying Ottoman

West Bromwich Albion fans are looking forward to Derby County full-back Frank Ribery making more mistakes, so he will waste Derby County attacking opportunities, which is good for West Bromwich Albion, in addition to Sometimes they will have a reason to laugh at this guy.

They thought well, but at the start of the game, it was West Bromwich Albion who got into trouble first.

In the opening three minutes, West Bromwich Albion attacked twice in a row, both of which were intercepted just after the midline.

The first time was the normal advance of West Bromwich Albion. Derby County retreated a lot. Facing the tight defensive formation of Derby County, West Bromwich Albion adopted a strategy of advancing slowly and slowly looked for the periphery. Opportunity, as a result, midfielder Thomas Gadeso made a forward pass error, and the football was easily robbed by Derby County.

The second time was a fast break after a steal in the backcourt.

West Bromwich Albion defended intensively in the backcourt and blocked Derby County’s cross, and then they pressed forward to take the opportunity to break fast. Unfortunately, the football was just passed to the midline and was robbed back by Derby County, and the attack ended. , they also have to face a counterattack from Derby County.

In two attacks in three minutes, West Bromwich Albion failed to actually score in the Derby County half, which made the West Bromwich Albion fans a little silent. , because in the opening three minutes, Derby County was basically attacking with the ball, and their goal was threatened.

That was after West Bromwich Albion's counter-attack was stopped.

The football reached the foot of Ribery on the wing. Ribery took the ball and rushed forward. After reaching the left corner of the penalty area, he suddenly slowed down and found a neutral position and passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area line. Cahill, who followed, won the ball and kicked directly Volley, this shot is quite powerful, but unfortunately it hit a little bit. Flying off the bottom line against the post, even so, it was enough to panic West Bromwich Albion and their supporters.

West Bromwich Albion fans kind of forget the name 'Ribery'.

They originally wanted to laugh at Ribery, but looking at the team's current situation, they really couldn't find a reason to convince themselves to laugh at Ribery. Even just thinking about Derby County's first attack. Ribery's failed cross, but that time he also brought the ball to the bottom line and almost passed the ball out, and West Bromwich Albion has never even passed the half, not to mention , to watch the game from a normal perspective, from the beginning of the game to the present. The Frenchman is not doing badly. So far, he has made two personal breakthroughs and has not been blocked. Only one of the four-footed passes failed, and the other passed a threatening ball, which made West Bromwich Albion's goal in crisis.

With only three minutes to go, what more could one ask for from a full-back?

So West Bromwich Albion fans consciously silent a lot.

......

on the coach's bench.

Wan Sheng looked at the game and nodded in satisfaction.

This is what he wants to see, using a midline squeeze-style defense to stop the opponent from attacking. And then use the solid defense to give the team more offensive opportunities than the opponent. That's the effect he wants, and the players on the field are doing well now.

He was also satisfied with Ribery's performance.

Three minutes, two dribbles, four touches, only one break to the bottom line and was snatched away, no other mistakes, and a threatening kick. This performance can be said to be quite good, which is what he has always hoped. saw.

When Ribery exerts his personal ability, he always does not perform well. In fact, it is not entirely because other people's ability cannot keep up with his rhythm. Another important point is that Ribery cannot grasp the passing and personal performance. The 'degree' of the view, he didn't know under what circumstances, he should choose to dribble the ball or pass the ball directly.

But Wansheng couldn't teach him this.

Wansheng has never been a professional player. He is a head coach. He is only responsible for roughly planning tactics for the team, and the players follow the tactics. Under what circumstances, the choice of passing the ball or breaking forward requires players to make a choice with reference to their own abilities.

Passing the ball is more secure, then choose to pass the ball. If you want to break through, then choose to break through.

In short, it is up to the players to figure it out.

Looking at Ribery's performance now, it is clear that he has improved in this regard, and Wansheng nodded with satisfaction. He likes to win, and he also likes to see his players attacking, which means that the team's strength has improved.

At the same time, reporters in the media booth also discussed the game. They didn't want to see Derby County take the lead. Most of these reporters wanted Derby County to lose, so they were all worried about the situation on the field. It was as if they were all West Bromwich Albion fans.

"West Bromwich Albion seems a little out of shape!"

"They seem to be suppressed."

"The game has only just begun..."

"That's right! The game has just started, we need to have confidence in McGuerson, West Bromwich Albion is just a little unsuitable for this stadium!"

This argument was unanimously endorsed by journalists.

They don't believe that West Bromwich Albion can't compare to Derby County, and the suppression at the beginning is just not suitable for the stadium. After all, this is the Pride Stadium, the home of Derby County. It will take a while for West Bromwich to come here. The adjustment of time is also normal.

This is the so-called 'home field advantage'!

Despite all this thought, there was a bit of worry on their faces, they were worried about West Bromwich Albion's goal.

Even if they don't admit it, they all know in their hearts that Derby County's offensive ability is still certain. This can be seen from the fact that they have been scoring goals in their previous games. It is very likely that they will be scored first, and then wait for them to adapt, and they can only face the backward situation, which is definitely not good for West Bromwich Albion, so they are worried about West Bromwich Albion.

Just as the reporters in the media box thought, Derby County had a great advantage next. They launched an offensive around West Bromwich Albion. Their goal has also suffered a crisis again and again.

......

on the playing field.

Derby County are showing off their attacking abilities!

West Bromwich Albion is trying to show defensive ability, but from the busy state of West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper, their defense is not very good.

At the same time, many people were surprised to find that the most eye-catching performance on the pitch was not the Derby County attacking player or the West Bromwich Albion defender, but the Derby County midfielder Leon Osman.

In just ten minutes, Osman completed three steals!

At the beginning of the game, when Osman finished stealing, no one paid attention to him. After all, midfielders, especially defensive midfielders, can actually be classified as 'blue-collar workers on the court'. They do the most The most dirty work is hard to attract attention.

But many people have noticed the young midfielder who was loaned from Everton by Derby County this summer as West Bromwich’s two counterattacks were stopped at the feet of Osman.

The on-site commentator Alfie was the first to mention Osman's name. When Osman completed the first steal, the game had just started, so Osman was a bit ignored, but as he grabbed two consecutive balls, Alfie also shouted in surprise, "Osman again! Nice job!"

Fans who heard Alfie's shouts also began to pay attention to Osman.

Actually, you don't need to pay attention.

As the game goes on, Osman has become the most active man on the field, especially when West Bromwich has the ball, he is always running, accelerating, decelerating, accelerating, decelerating, this is what Osman does most things.

Run, keep running.

It's hard to notice when you glance at the stadium, but after watching the game for so long, you can clearly notice, "This guy doesn't seem to have stopped..."

Whenever West Bromwich Albion got the ball, Osman started to run non-stop. After other players were flashed, he would stop and breathe a sigh of relief, but Osman was different. Immediately go after the player who catches the ball, then go on, go on!

never stop...

It wasn't until football returned to Derby County that Osman stopped to take a breath. Only at this time, those fans who were paying attention to Osman, would their nervous nerves relax, and sighed in their hearts, "So this guy is also tired. !"

But Osman will soon follow the rhythm, throw into the attack with his teammates, and wait for the next time West Bromwich attack with the ball, he will repeat this continuous running process again.

Many people were surprised by Ottoman's physical fitness.

This kind of continuous running is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to persevere, but Osman persevered, and he looked very relaxed and did not look tired at all.

"This guy's body is really good!" Some reporters in the media booth sighed.

Fans and reporters see it this way, not to mention the West Bromwich Albion players on the field. They now feel that their offense is hindered. The biggest reason is the guy who runs all the time!

They have been relying on short passes and penetration to attack, but the opponent's defense is very dense near the center line, so their passing has to be very accurate, but the opponent has such a guy who runs around and presses, every time they hit the ball When it comes to the midline, be careful not to let this guy get entangled. When he runs over, they can only pass the ball to the teammates, but he immediately follows the teammates... They found this guy entangled, they thought It's really not easy to hold the ball near the midline.

Most of their attacks are stopped in midfield!

Whenever the attack hits this position, they will feel a headache, so they try to play the long pass directly and move the ball to the two wings, but Derby County's defense is very dense, and if they want to receive a long pass, they must be with Derby County. Players go to fight for the ball, and they have no advantage in this regard, and many offenses are suspended in this way.

Anyway, they are having trouble on offense! (To be continued ~^~)
