Chapter 75 It's Derby County's Turn to Attack!

The media has been talking about Leighton Baines' performance. At the same time, Wansheng is also paying attention to Baines' performance, or, in other words, he is paying attention to the defense of the entire team.

The game has been going on for almost twenty minutes.

In the 20 minutes, most of them were Norwich attacking. It must be admitted that they suppressed Derby County at home. Wansheng has been worried since the beginning of the game, but seeing that the team has withstood the pressure, they have not lost any games so far. The ball, he is very satisfied with the performance of the team's defense.

The current match against Norwich is a battle of performance, suppression and counter-suppression. Norwich has been attacking for 20 minutes in a row. If they don’t score, it will be difficult for them to continue.

No team can keep attacking a whole game.

Norwich must delay for a period of time to make adjustments. That period may be an opportunity for Derby County. They must regain the game situation and cannot suppress Norwich. It is not easy to achieve results in attack. It is estimated that it depends on luck. ingredients are larger.

Wansheng hopes that the victory is in its hands, rather than relying on luck to win the game.

You can win one or two games by luck, but when you are unlucky, you will lose directly. He doesn't like to lose. Even if he loses, there must be a reason, not just because the team is unlucky or something.

However, the team was able to withstand the pressure for 20 minutes. Wansheng was very satisfied. He believed in his tactics and the players on the court.

Before the game, many people said that this Derby County was 'young', that it was difficult for a 'young' team to beat a 'mature' team like Norwich, and that young teams were prone to mistakes, which means that Derby County Relying on the momentum of youth, they have reached the first place in the league, but sooner or later they will fall from the first place in the league because of their 'young' performance. Even fell a lot.

In short, the mass media is not optimistic about Derby County.

Wan Sheng knew what was the reason for that. It wasn't because of the conflict between himself and the media. The most important thing was that Derby County's success was unexpected.

In the summer, the media evaluated the 24 teams in League One. Derby County are included in the 'relegation effort'. As a result, Derby County's results were quite good. Consecutive victories put the team in the forefront of the league, and it even squeezed out West Bromwich Albion and Norwich to become the league's first.

This result surprised the media and fans alike.

But they couldn't figure out the reason for Derby County's success, so they started to keep looking for reasons, they found a lot, 'luck', 'manager', 'young' and so on, these are the reasons they found. But until now they are still reluctant to accept the reality that Derby County has become a strong team. That's why Derby County is constantly being questioned.

This game is Wansheng's chance to make them face reality.

Norwich is the best team in the league besides Derby County, or it can be said that they are better than Derby County, because they are unbeaten in 14 consecutive rounds, after all, this is a strong team that makes people face up to their strength. .

If Derby County can beat Norwich at Carrow Road, can anyone question Derby again?

......

On the field of play, Derby County and Norwich are engaged in a battle of suppression and anti-suppression.

In the first twenty minutes, Norwich had the advantage. Their possession, formation, number of threats to goal, etc., are more and better than Derby County. But this does not mean that they are attacking and Derby County is defending. In fact, the two teams are attacking and defending each other. It's just that Norwich has done better and has a greater threat. The situation is somewhat suppressing Derby County, while Derby County There was also a lot less attacking threat, resulting in Derby County's top performer being full-back Leighton Bynes.

Leighton Baines is a young player introduced by Wansheng from Wigan Athletic. When he was at Wigan Athletic, he was just promoted from the youth team to the first team, and there were only a few substitute appearances in the second half of the schedule. Also a complement to the bench, a complete fringe player.

As a result, it came to Derby County, and Baines directly hit the main force.

Baines can directly play the main force, which is undoubtedly inseparable from Wansheng's trust, so Baines respects Wansheng and is determined to repay the coach with his performance.

Baines has been working hard to adapt to the new tactics with his teammates. As a full-back, in the offense of the new tactics, his role is to start the offense and supplement the offense.

Although his role in the offense is not as good as that of the frontcourt players, Baines has a very thorough understanding of tactics. He knows that what the team needs now is to suppress the opponent in turn, exert the overall suppression advantage of the tactics, and play against the opponent. A real offensive competition.

Norwich on the field, the offensive rhythm gradually slowed down.

They have been attacking for more than 20 minutes in a row, and they are indeed a little tired, especially if they do not score for a long time, the mental exhaustion is also very annoying. If you want to score, it is not a simple attack, they must Adjusting the attacking rhythm is not something they do tactically, but unconsciously during the game.

Just like now, they have to slow down their offense a little bit, otherwise the attacking that has been in the front is likely to give the opponent a chance. Instead of scoring, they let the opponent score, which is not what they want to see.

Slow down a bit, spread out the formation and make the pass more penetrating, so that their chances will be better.

Bynes was keenly aware of the changes in Norwich's offensive.

So in the game, he adjusted his lower position forward appropriately. No matter the defensive position or the offensive position, he adjusted forward a little. His adjustment speed was not fast. The formation is at the forefront of being able to stand.

This adjustment is somewhat threatening. For example, if the opponent's penetrating attack is played, it is likely to be directly penetrated, but Baines still does it.

It wasn't just Bynes, Morris soon followed suit.

As the core of the team, Morris's understanding of tactics and grasp of the game is by no means comparable to ordinary players. When Norwich slowed down the pace of attack, he quickly realized that this was an opportunity to counter-press the opponent, but He didn't make adjustments immediately, because he is the core and his position is quite critical. Others will adjust the formation according to his position, so he moves forward slowly.

Following Morris's position, Derby County quickly moved forward a lot.

Norwich quickly found this out too. Then they attacked Derby County again, trying to suppress Derby County again, but at this time it was no longer possible to suppress it by fighting spirit alone. The game had been going on for more than 20 minutes, and the real contest between the two teams was already over. here we go. Now it's pure strength.

Soon Norwich realized the difficulty of Derby County's tactics. Or that they are difficult to press the whole court.

At the beginning of the game, relying on quick breakthroughs and the suppression and coordination of the entire formation, they were not greatly hindered in the attack, but when the battle for the midfield began, the Norwich players quickly discovered that the opponent was running tactically. It's a little too difficult to move, especially near the midline. Whenever they get an offense. The opponent seems to be running fast, which makes them have to pass the ball as soon as possible, otherwise it is likely to be directly stolen by the opponent--It turns out that the opponent's player's stealing ability is still very good, which may be attributed to the team's stealing Training, and the bonus of Wansheng's coaching skill 'Resolute Interception' to steals, of course, this is not clear to others.

What Norwich know is if they don't pass the ball quickly. Possession becomes threatening, but when every player with the ball thinks so. Passing will increase a lot, at the same time, turnover will increase a lot.

A mistake means a change in the ball, which means that the offensive initiative is handed over to Derby County, and they have to retreat to defend.

Derby County and Norwich competed again and again, competed again and again, and confronted again and again, and soon the fans on the scene found that Norwich was suppressed.

The game was like a flipped version of the first twenty minutes.

Derby County is attacking again and again, they occupy the initiative of the game, Norwich will also attack occasionally, but they can't get into the Derby County penalty area at all, whenever they attack, the football will soon return. At the feet of the Derby County players, in short, Derby County suppressed Norwich.

...

The reporters in the media booth were surprised.

For the first 20 minutes, they had been discussing when Norwich would score, but now many of them are starting to worry about Norwich's goal.

Norwich attacked for more than 20 minutes, but now the situation is reversed, and Derby County has started a continuous attack.

"how so!?"

"Why didn't Norwich attack? Is it to lure Derby County to attack and then prepare to fight back?"

"It must be! How could Derby County suppress Norwich!"

"..."

When the reporters in the media booth had some self-consoling discussions, the game continued on the field. It was already the 37th minute of the game. Norwich sent a goal kick, and soon the football was handed over to the right midfielder Mark Ray. at the foot of Voss.

Norwich have always had no advantage in the midfield competition. They have lost the midfield. It is very difficult to break through the midfield, but when the football reaches the feet of Rivers, he also has to face this situation - the opponent who keeps running. Guys, here we go again!

The guy who keeps running is naturally Leon Osman. His defensive task is to keep running, constantly putting pressure on the opposing player with the ball, and looking for opportunities to complete steals.

It worked, at least the Norwich players had a headache for him.

Rivers is going to face this problem. He originally planned to pass the ball to his teammates, but in the end he chose to dribble the ball himself because he trusted his own feet more than his teammates.

Rivers' technology is really good.

This time, when Osman came over, he directly accelerated with a change of direction. Osman was deceived by his action. When he reacted and wanted to chase again, Rivers had already started, and he quickly dribbled the ball away with his head covered. He was reminiscing about the extraordinary performance just now, and at the same time proud of his superb footwork.

But Rivers seemed to ignore other Derby County players.

Leighton Baines was right in front of him, and he followed to defend him. Rivers decided to continue dribbling the ball without thinking about it, perhaps because after breaking through Baines, he was flat in front of him. Cutting to the middle is likely to find a shot and to pass the ball very casually, but he quickly realized that this decision was wrong, because the opponent's guy who can run is always behind him.

Coupled with Bynes, he was slammed back and forth and shut the door.

No matter how good Rivers' foot skills are, there are really not many ways to face the front and rear attacks of Baines and Osman. He tried hard to protect the ball and wanted to find a chance to pass the ball to his teammates, but the two front and back four feet didn't give him any help. He left no space and the ball was hooked directly by Osman. Rivers was about to counterattack, Osman kicked Baynes and ran straight forward. Baynes controlled the ball and passed to Alfred twice. Leave Rivers behind. Then Baines kicked the ball to the foot of Ribery in front.

...

Wansheng has always emphasized the speed of the attack.

Ribery is one of the most important players in the frontcourt attack. He is valued in tactics, and his personal technical strength is also very good. He also knows very well what he is going to do when the football is handed over to his feet.

That is fast forward attack!

Ribery did not pass the ball to his teammates, he took the ball and broke forward.

In the front, Norwich has been occupying the offensive advantage, and Ribery has few opportunities to perform. And his Norwich right-back Ryan Jarvis didn't pay much attention to Ribery. He even said that he did not take Ribery seriously, because he, Ryan Jarvis, is the backbone of Norwich's right-sided defense, and the player who was still playing for Tottenham Hotspur last season. It was only because the competition at Tottenham was too fierce that he moved to Norwich.

Now facing an unknown opponent, naturally don't have to worry too much.

Ryan Jarvis went head-to-head. He didn't care anymore, just kept up with the general defense. Then he looked for an opportunity to prepare for a steal, but what he didn't expect was that the opponent suddenly turned inward and cut to the middle!

This inward cut made Ryan Jarvis completely swayed away. Unless his waist could be twisted into a twist, it would be too late to turn around and keep up. As a result, he was so easily swayed.

Seeing Ryan Jarvis being passed by, the on-site commentator exclaimed, "Derby County's left midfielder, yes, his name is...Frank Ribery, he passed Ryan..."

Obviously, the professionalism of this commentator is not very good. He can't even say Ribery's name at the first time. Maurice followed in the middle.

Morris catches the ball and crosses the penalty area!

There are two people in the penalty area, Cahill and Reiter. Morris's pass hangs to the left, which is in front of Reiter. Reiter sees the ball and turns around to fight for it, but the opponent's defense is very difficult for him. Tight, he has the opportunity to touch the ball with his head, but it is almost impossible to shoot.

Reiter reacted quickly, he chose to put the ball to the left back.

There is Ribery who is following up. Ribery has been followed by Ryan Jarvis. He has no way to stop the ball. He can only take the ball and re-pass it to the neutral block in the middle. Maurice just ran past that position. There are no players at all.

Ribery passed the ball subconsciously, and he didn't even look at the position of his teammates.

Pass neutral, pass neutral, that's what it means.

You don't need to look at the position of your teammates, just pass the ball directly to the neutral position of the opponent's defense. Tactically, there will be no gaps in the movement of the entire team. Only if your teammates keep up is an opportunity.

Of course, that's theoretical.

In any case, it is impossible for the team to play the tactics to perfection, so sometimes such a pass will still be wrong, and no one can keep up with it.

Seeing Ribery's pass, the on-site commentator took a long breath and said with a smile, "Ribery missed the pass..."

He couldn't go on, because in the big shot, a figure in a green jersey followed behind him!

That is……! ?

He immediately lowered his head to look for the name, but when he found the name and looked up again, he saw that the player had already controlled the ball and shot directly with his foot.

A long shot!

The ball went straight to the right of the goal, and the Norwich goalkeeper rushed to the right, but when he fell to his position, the ball had already flown over the goal line.

Only then did the commentator call out the player's name, but his voice changed to exclamation, as if cheering for Derby County's goal--

"Leighton—"

"—Bynes—!!!??"

"Long shot! The ball went in..."

The commentator's tone was very strange. As a commentator at Carrow Road, he obviously couldn't show excitement about Derby County's goal, otherwise it would arouse dissatisfaction from the vast majority of Norwich fans. Fortunately, Derby County scored a goal. At the moment, not many Norwich fans paid attention to the stadium broadcast.

They were all sighing for the goal.

At the same time, Sky TV commentator Belko Kleisman roared, "Leighton Bynes!!!"

When Bynes appeared in that position, Kleisman had already shouted loudly, and immediately everyone saw Bynes holding the ball around. He glanced in the direction of the goal, waved his foot, and chose to shoot directly.

It took less than two seconds to shoot the goal and score the goal. Within two seconds, everyone saw the goal process completely. This was a wonderful long-range shot from outside the penalty area, and the scorer was even more unexpected--

"Leighton Bynes!!!"

Belko Kleisman roared again, "Goal scored! Leighton Bynes! Goooooooooooooooal!!!"

"Derby left-back Leighton Baines' goal, his first since joining Derby! It's not easy to score goals as a left-back, but Baines did it. !"

"It was a fantastic long shot!"

"Before, Baines showed a very good defensive ability, but I don't think anyone would have thought that he would suddenly show offensive ability and score directly with a long shot with a heel!"

"Leighton Bynes! He helped Derby County lead!"

"If you look at the first half now, Leighton Bynes was without a doubt the best! He was solid defensively, he scored the only goal! Congrats to Derby! From today, they have more A genius!"
