After the victory over Norwich, Wansheng has been thinking about these things, and has been trying to solve these problems. Among the three problems, the most important thing is to understand the relationship between the content of the system tasks and the ability of real players to train and improve, and solved this problem. The problem is that the training effect of the team can naturally be greatly improved.
This is the key to solving all problems.
But it is not easy to solve this problem. It requires a lot of professional knowledge. Wan Sheng went to the library and looked for various materials on the Internet. Using the knowledge in his mind and these related materials, he found some key factors. But it is difficult to understand all of them.
Wansheng University majored in sports science, and what he is doing now is also the content of sports science. His grades are very good, perhaps because of this, he intends to explore everything.
Exercise science is a new major that was formed in 1997 on the basis of the original subject catalogue after discussion and discussion by relevant experts. This field is a new discipline developed in the 21st century. People and research data are still very small.
Wan Sheng has studied many professional subjects in university, such as anatomy, exercise physiology, sports biomechanics, sports biochemistry, sports rehabilitation and sports medicine, etc. As a new discipline, he wants to get a degree in sports science is not easy.
Wansheng's results were also quite good.
He always felt that he had reached the top level in the world in the field of sports science, but when faced with this new problem, he suddenly felt a lack of knowledge.
After a long time of research and thinking, Wan Sheng couldn't solve the problem. He suddenly felt that maybe he should go back to the university for further studies. It doesn't matter whether he can get a degree or not, what matters is that he has to find a solution to the problem, which can only be found with more advanced and professional sports science knowledge.
When this idea popped into his head, Wan Sheng took it for granted. It also feels weird.
He was never like this before. In the face of unsolvable problems, he will try hard, but he will never insist on it.
He felt that the memory of the 'former Wansheng' had an impact on him.
But this is a good influence.
Wan Sheng feels that this idea is still very reliable. The key is that he must solve this problem, so that his coaching level will really improve, and he will also have a deeper understanding of the football training master system.
At present, the team has entered a stable period, and he has time to do some learning occasionally. Returning to UCL for further study is a good option.
So Wansheng picked up the phone. Found a number in the contacts - Professor Ben Hawker.
Professor Ben Hawker has always admired Wansheng. When Wansheng was about to graduate, he always wanted Wansheng to be his graduate student, but in the end Wansheng still embarked on the path of pursuing a football coach and did not choose to continue in London. University College training.
Wan Sheng looked at the number, hesitated for a moment, but still dialed it.
Ben Hawker was so impressed with Wansheng that he kept Wansheng's mobile number. Not only that, but a reporter came to interview him some time ago. Ask about Wansheng.
He always thought it was incredible that Wan Sheng chose to become a football coach.
"Wan Sheng is a natural researcher. He has a brain that can win a Nobel Prize! He will definitely become a genius in sports science!" Ben Hawker has always been very sure of this. He regrets that Wan Sheng did not choose to continue to work in Studying in the academy, otherwise, one of his students will come out with a famous person who won the Nobel Prize, and when he talks to others later, he will also have a good face.
He did not expect that Wan Sheng would take the initiative to call himself, and he also talked about the topic of returning to UCL for further studies.
"Wan Sheng, you finally figured it out and quit your job, right?" Ben Hawker asked in surprise.
Wan Sheng rolled his eyes. Even though he had an impression in his memory, he still felt very strange when he heard Ben Hawker's words suddenly, "Sorry, Ben, I just want to study some kinesiology subjects."
"Are you going to study for a degree?" Ben Hawker asked incomprehensibly.
"No, no, no." Wan Sheng said, "I just have a problem that I can't solve... Of course, I'm sure you can't solve it either, so I'm going to find the reason myself."
"You're really welcome!" Ben Hawker laughed, "Indeed, I don't think I can solve the problem that you can't solve, but if you tell me what the problem is, I think I can provide you with some suitable solutions. Suggest."
Wan Sheng curled the corners of his mouth and said, "I hope to know the scientific relationship between my players' specific training and the improvement of a certain technology."
"..."
Ben Hawker rolled his eyes and held it for a long time before he said loudly, "What are you kidding! This is definitely a cross-generational research. If you ask me this question in another 20 years, I will definitely give you advice... ...but forget it now, it's too complicated, and I think you should go to Dr. Dave."
Dr Dave is Professor of Psychology at University College London.
Wan Sheng wondered to himself, "This is also related to psychology... But it is also, the mentality of the players can also determine the training effect, and the mentality can also affect the body's resistance to some diseases, so maybe it can also affect the players. training effect.”
"No, no, no!" Ben-Hawkward said three no's in a row, and then said, "I suggest you go to Dr. Dave for psychological problems, he is an expert in this field, and he is more inferior than those outside. The psychiatrist is much stronger. By the way, he seems to be a part-time psychiatrist too."
"Ben, is this a mockery?"
"No, Wan Sheng, I think it is impossible for you to study this question thoroughly in the short term." Ben Hawker said directly.
Wan Sheng rolled his eyes, "But I want to do some research."
"Well, Wan Sheng, anyway, this is your progress, you are finally willing to return to the ranks of researchers in sports science. If you want to study at UCL, I can give you a postgraduate place, hang on me It’s fine under the name. I hope you can come a few more times when you have time, and help me do some experiments…”
"Thank you, Ben!" Wan Sheng said from the bottom of his heart.
"You're welcome, but you still have to take some exams..."
"That's not a problem at all."
"Of course, that's what I like about you. Wansheng. You're really confident, and you have the capital of self-confidence." Ben Hawker said, "But I still recommend that you resign in that small football club, as a football coach, right? An insult to your ability, no matter how successful it is, scientific research is what you should do. If you can go back and concentrate on research. I think within ten years, you will definitely win the Nobel Prize, you know, I'm very optimistic about you, I can still apply for some research funding for you, these are not problems..."
"Okay, Ben, that's it! I'll call you when I get to UCL..."
Wan Sheng really couldn't bear to talk about it. Decided to hang up.
He looked at the phone and stuck out his tongue. He said to himself, "Sure enough, it's the same as in my memory."
...
In the sixteenth round of League One, Derby County hosts Coventry.
Coventry Football Club was founded in 1883 by several bicycle company staff singers, called the 'Singers' Club. It was not until 1898 that it was changed to its current name - Coventry City Football Club.
Coventry has a long history of top-flight campaigns in the early 1960s, when manager Hill led the team in three exciting campaigns with the support of chairman Derrick Robbins. A popular season, and in 1967 successfully broke into the English Second Division (now League One). In that great season, Coventry went on a 25-match unbeaten run. In the last game, dubbed the 'Battle of the Midlands', they beat Wolphhampton 3-1 at home.
Highfield Road (Highfield Road) had a record influx of 51,455 fans.
The team finally won the league championship.
Since then, they have been playing in England's top leagues for the next two decades, but every year they are working hard to avoid relegation, but when the Premier League was established, due to the suppression of the economy of small clubs, like It is those clubs that are in decline, such as Nottingham Forest, Wolphhampton (Wolves), etc. Coventry, which is in a small city, has also been greatly affected, and as a result, they cannot be relegated to the second league.
Up to now, Coventry has been in the League One for several years. They are still working hard to avoid relegation every year. The only difference is that ten years ago it was for the top league, and now it is for the League One, which is England. Relegation in the second league.
Gary McAllister coached Coventry last season. At the beginning of his tenure, he planned to lead Coventry back to the top flight within three years. However, a year later, most people think Gary McAllister. Te is only talking about military affairs on paper. His three-year plan is really unreliable. The main reason is that under his leadership, Coventry's grades have not risen but have fallen a lot.
Last season, they ranked fifth from the bottom in the league, and they only managed to avoid relegation. This season, they are currently ranked third from the bottom in the league, and they have truly fallen into the relegation circle.
So Gary McAllister's post is in jeopardy.
But no one expected that before the game against Derby County, Gary McAllister appeared full of fighting spirit at the press conference, "We are now at the most difficult moment, we are fighting to avoid relegation, we cannot fail! So We will do our best to win!"
"Derby County are strong, they are top of the league but we are fighting to survive so we will definitely win!"
This sentence was originally told to Wansheng by the reporter.
Wan Sheng just grinned, "He wants to win at Pride Stadium? It's really interesting, I think the game will be very interesting, I hope he can succeed..." Even so, anyone can hear what Wan Sheng is saying. Irony.
In fact, Wansheng doesn't care about the "provocation" of these small teams now, because the media will speak to Derby County.
It was like at the end of last season.
When Wan Sheng just became the head coach of Derby County and declared before the game that he would defeat his opponent, he was greeted with distrust and irony from media reporters every time. This is the sadness of a small team with little reputation and poor performance. Because before the game, no matter what you say, you can't provide evidence, media reporters, and even your own fans will distrust you.
That's how it is now in Derbyshire and Coventry.
Coventry's results have been poor. And Derby County has proven itself in the league. Coventry coach Gary McAllister's leadership results are there. How difficult is it for him to beat the league's first-place Derby County away?
hard to imagine.
So when he said something like, 'The team is sure to be the winner', no one would believe it.
To quote the Derbyshire Life, "Gary McAllister thinks he's become Wansheng? Haha!"
Maybe Coventry fans hope Gary McAllister can do a miracle. Can actually prove the game. Gary McAllister is really just talking shit.
At the Pride Stadium, Derby County was full of momentum, and they started a half-time siege of Coventry at the opening. Under this siege, Coventry's poor defensive line simply couldn't stand it.
As a result, just three minutes into the game, starter Ian Taylor scored a goal to open the scoring for Derby County.
This is just the beginning.
Coventry tried to attack after conceding the ball. But let them know what happens next. It was unwise to start an attacking battle with Derby County. Their formation was immediately pressed back, and Derby County had another wave of counterattacks, which caught Coventry by surprise. As a result, the team captain Marcus kept up with the header. The team scored the second goal.
After conceding two goals in a row in the opening game, Gary McAllister finally knew that it would be difficult to beat Derby County at the Pride Stadium. He seemed to accept the reality and anxiously shouted from the sidelines to make the team solid defense. .
Coventry's defense is a lot more solid. But their game was more passive, the whole first half. They have played football across the halfway line only a few times.
On the other hand, the entire Derby County team, in the cheers of the fans, attacked beautifully every time.
Belko Kleisman even commented hilariously, "This is a two-level team game!"
The only thing that is 'reassuring' is that Coventry did not continue to concede the ball in the first half.
The situation at the beginning of the second half proved that Coventry manager Gary McAllister still did not give up the game, maybe as he said, they have come to the time to fight for survival, so no chance can be let go, they Will work hard for survival and will never give up... In short, Coventry launched a massive attack at the beginning of the second half, Derby County was kicked a little bit in a hurry, and with this Coventry got the best chance of the game, then It was a shot that directly faced the goalkeeper from about nine meters in front of the goal, but Coventry striker Max Phil apparently forgot his shooting boots at home, and his shot kicked the ball directly into the fans' stands.
The on-site commentator Alfie's explanation for the shot was, "Maxfer is always afraid that his girlfriend is pregnant, so he always kicks high when he is at the door..." This joke made many fans in the audience laugh out. sounded.
As the game time passed, Derby County also gradually slowed down. They used the pressing of the whole court to quickly regain the situation, and the shots of the frontcourt players were much more accurate.
In the fifty-seventh minute of the game, Cahill received a return pass from Taylor and knocked on the door of Coventry for the third time for Derby County with a long shot.
Just three minutes later, Taylor threw in a near-corner shot and scored his second goal of the game.
After this goal, Wansheng replaced Taylor with Peschisolido. When Taylor came off, he was applauded by the Derby County fans in the stands. His two goals and the wonderful performance of the audience made Derby County fans quite Thrilled, excited, happy, and cheered.
At the end of the game, taking advantage of a corner kick, Peschisolido competed for position, and he rushed the ball to the goal, scoring the last goal of the game.
5:0, Derby County ushered in a big victory!
This is Derby County's seventh victory after the game against Nottingham Forest, and also the seventh victory since Wansheng came back from a suspension last time. After the game, many media were surprised by Derby County's consecutive victories. Some media There were even calls for 'who will stop Derbyshire'.
There was a lot of discussion about Derby County's winning streak that night. 'Seven straight wins' is still very attractive. There are very few teams that can play like this now, even in League One. After all, it is seven league wins. , this game is another '5:0' victory, which is also rare to see in League One.
Of course, losing five goals is also very rare for Coventry.
Coventry fans were quite dissatisfied with the team's performance. Before the game, Gary McAllister also said that he would win against Derby County, but the result was a direct loss of '5:0'. Even the local media in Coventry asked questions. The voice said, "Can McAllister be any more embarrassed?"
On the second day, Coventry's official website announced that they had relieved Gary McAllister of the head coach position, and former assistant coach Eric Black would take over the position of Gary McAllister. , to become the head coach of Coventry, perhaps to increase the confidence of the fans, Coventry also emphasized on the official website that Eric Black was once a disciple of Ferguson.
But no matter what happens to Eric Black, Gary McAllister must be a tragedy.
After reading this news, Wansheng could only say sorry to Gary McAllister in his heart, maybe Gary McAllister would be fired sooner or later, but if there was no big defeat against Derby County, it is estimated that The time will be in the evening, but professional football is like this. There are always winners and losers. As a head coach, it is impossible for everyone to succeed. There are always more than half of the head coaches who lead the team with unsatisfactory results.
But now that Wansheng is the winner, Gary McAllister is the loser.
Wansheng just laughed at the news.
When the media reported on Coventry's coaching change and the results of the 16th round of League One, Wansheng had already taken advantage of the players' vacation to come to University College London.
He came to see Professor Ben Hawker face-to-face to inquire about some enrolment matters, and he could also ask Ben Hawker to help him by the way, allowing him to attend some courses in advance, which may be of great help to him in solving problems.
