Chapter 116: Accumulation
Hawthorn Field.
Players from West Bromwich Albion and Derby County have trotted into the pitch from the tunnel, followed by the coaches and substitutes. The cheers in the stands increased a lot as the players took to the field.
The referee arranged for the captains of the two teams to guess the coins and pick sides.
The coaches of the two teams, Magerson and Wan Sheng, walked to the player tunnel in a tacit agreement to give a friendly handshake before the game, but they were standing facing each other, and they didn't mean to stretch out their hands at all.
Soon the media discovered this interesting scene, and several cameras immediately turned from the stadium to the two head coaches.
I saw both of them standing and looking at each other, Wan Sheng had a smile on his face, and a smile on McGerson's face, it seemed that both of them were friendly, but neither of them extended their hand first, and neither did they. Open your mouth.
It didn't take long for the two to look at each other almost tacitly, then turned around and walked back to their respective coaches' seats.
Belko Kleisman, who was in charge of explaining the game, commented jokingly, "It seems that the relationship between the two coaches is very unfriendly, they don't even mean to shake hands with each other, which is really rare before the game... ..."
"However, in the first half of the match, the two teams had conflicts with each other. West Bromwich Albion lost the game last time. Before the game, many West Bromwich Albion media clamored to win it back. Carelessly excluded several main players from the squad. Magson thinks this is contempt for West Bromwich Albion, but maybe Wansheng just wants to rotate the team, after all, they have to deal with the FA Cup. games and West Brom have lost the FA Cup."
"But in any case, we can also know that the relationship between the two managers is very bad, which may make the game more interesting..."
Wan Sheng didn't know how the commentator would evaluate himself. In fact, he just wanted to wait for Magson to extend his hand, but it was obvious that the other party thought the same. So the two got stuck.
Then, unhappy.
It doesn't matter, it's just a courtesy handshake, Wan Sheng doesn't care at all, and he and Magson really don't have any personal friendship at all. to the playing field. The two are completely opposites.
Wan Sheng sat on the seat with his hands in his arms and looked at the stadium seriously.
The match between the two teams has officially started.
For this game, Wansheng does not have absolute confidence to defeat West Bromwich Albion, but he still has some confidence in the semi-substitute lineup of the team on the field. This confidence comes from daily training and football. Data from the trainer's system.
On weekdays he is more concerned about those outstanding players, such as Morris, such as Cahill and so on. Their personal attribute data is gorgeous. Wansheng can even recite the attributes of these absolute main players.
But for ordinary players like Peter Kennedy, Wansheng usually cares less.
This is because of their strength.
Whether it is a coach or a fan, he will definitely care more about the team's outstanding players. Substitute player.
Maybe some substitute players are really incompetent. But something like Peter Kennedy, who has been at Derby since last season. And persist in training the players who are up to now, there are still quite a few improvements in strength. Compared with last season, their data has increased significantly, and it can be said that all abilities have been improved in all directions. This also shows that their strength is also improved. They have improved a lot, and they are not comparable to last season. Because of this, they were able to perform so well in training games.
Especially outstanding among them are Peter - Kennedy, Weberson and Rousey.
Wansheng began to consider Peter Kennedy, that is, let him be Morris's substitute. Peter Kennedy's original strength is not bad, and he has very rich experience in the game. The only problem is that there is not much room for improvement. After all, he is more than 27 years old. .
But after a long period of training, Peter Kennedy's ability has also improved. His original strength is not much worse than Morris. With these improvements, he has surpassed the original Morris, and even some The ability evaluation is even higher than the current Morris, such as defense, such as physical confrontation, etc. In short, the current Peter Kennedy must not be underestimated. With his current strength, he is enough to serve as a midfielder for any League One team. main force.
Webberson belongs to the kind of players whose specialty attributes grow rapidly. His specialty is speed. After so many hours of training, his speed is only a little worse than that of Reiter. More importantly, Weberson does not actually have a speed. Focusing on the training of speed, that is to say, his speed potential is higher than that of Leiter. This is inferred. After checking the potential of Webberson's various personal attributes on the football training master, Wansheng also That's for sure.
However, Weberson and Leiter definitely belong to two types of players. Leiter is a high school forward. Even if he is fast, he actually feels very cumbersome to carry the ball. Weberson is a small player who plays professionally with his skills. In football, the increased speed has greatly helped his performance.
Lu Xi is different from the two. He is the kind of young player who trains diligently. His potential is very average. He has been training continuously for nearly 9 months, so that all of his personal attributes have been slightly improved. In other words, his strength has already grown in all directions. Although there is no prominent point, it is enough for him to perform well on the field.
The other substitute players are not as obviously improved as the three, but under the task system of the football training master, they have improved their abilities to some extent. They were originally professional players who can play in the first-class league, and now their abilities have improved again, their natural strength Stronger enough to perform well in the game.
These personal data are also the source of Wansheng's confidence.
He would like to see how this semi-substitute lineup can perform at the Hawthorns.
......
However, Wansheng himself knows the strength of Derby County's semi-substitute lineup on the field, and others do not.
For example, reporters in the media booth.
The reporters actually don't pay much attention to the game. Even if it is the first and third games in the league, Derby County has been too strong recently. Even if West Bromwich Albion is on the road, it is not easy to win Derby County. .
But it's different now, with Derby County fielding a semi-substitute squad.
Never mind that Derby County despised West Bromwich Albion. Or they have to prepare for the FA Cup, and they do, so that means West Bromwich Albion's chances of winning a lot more.
If they are at home, they can't beat the semi-substitute Derby County. Then their third place in the league is really a lot of water... Many reporters think so. So they expect West Bromwich Albion to score quickly and beat Derby County head-on at home - even if it's a semi-substitute Derby County!
Anything will do as long as they can beat Derby County!
West Bromwich Albion fans and media reporters think very similar. They also think that the team's victory is the most important thing. West Bromwich Albion was still playing in the Premier League last season, and they were relegated to the First Division in the summer. This season . Their fans believe the most important thing for the team is to return to the Premier League.
Then league points are very important.
Neither Derby County despised West Bromwich Albion. Or do they just rotate the squad to deal with other games, in short, they send out the bench, then West Bromwich Albion has a better chance of winning.
That's the most important thing.
So when the game started, more than 20,000 West Bromwich Albion fans in the Hawthorn Stadium were shouting for the team. They hoped that the team could score goals quickly and lay the foundation for winning the game. will be at ease.
But the game on the field was not like this, and Derby County did not show a decline.
Can be played on the field. It is not based on the will of Derby County's hostile media and West Bromwich Albion... The will of Derby County's players is more important, which is directly related to Derby County's performance. It also depends on the situation of the game.
In the opening stage, West Bromwich achieved some suppression, but Derby County quickly regained the situation. In terms of attack, Derby County and West Bromwich were evenly divided.
Everyone in the audience saw this.
The West Bromwich Albion players felt more obvious on the field. In the dressing room before the game, Magerson told them that Derby County would send a substitute. They were a little bit annoyed because it was like Magson said , which is what Derby County despised them.
While pissed off, they also wanted to give Derbyshire some colour to look at!
But now they find that their opponents are not so easy to defeat, and it is not easy for them to retaliate. The important thing is that this Derby County semi-substitute lineup has played really well, at least they didn't find out where the opponent was a 'substitute' at the beginning. '.
In terms of tactical play, this Derby County team appears to be more mature than when the two teams played against each other in the first half of the schedule. Obviously, they have made great progress in adapting and using offensive tactics; in terms of personal ability, they found themselves and these Derbys. County's so-called 'substitute players' one-on-one, it is difficult to take any advantage.
This makes West Bromwich Albion players feel at a loss - is the team's strength equivalent to the other side's semi-substitute lineup?
They are hard to accept.
......
The reporters in the media booth were also watching the game, and they were also quite surprised. Derby County, a semi-substitute team, actually played evenly with West Bromwich Albion?
How is this possible...
They all looked at it in surprise, not knowing what to say.
West Bromwich Albion coach Magerson watched the game and was a little unacceptable. He thought it would be an easy game. At his home, the opponent sent a substitute lineup, plus the strength of the two teams. In fact, the difference is not big... Of course, the last point, the game on the field does not seem to be the case.
But how is it possible?
Derby County has a lot of great players not playing! Their bench lineup is all a group of players who can't play in League One. How can such a team be able to play against West Bromwich Albion on the road?
McGerson felt unacceptable.
On the other hand, Wan Sheng, who was also sitting on the coach's bench, felt confident. He knew that the strength of this bench lineup was not bad, but he really didn't have much confidence in the specific performance.
But now seeing the game on the field, his confidence has also increased a lot.
This is a lot of work!
These substitute players don't make many appearances, but they actually have a lot of game experience. It's just that after he coached the team, the number of appearances has decreased. Coupled with the long training, the strength of each player has increased, reflecting the current situation. In the game, it is definitely a solid accumulation!
Now he can say with certainty that even the team's bench lineup is enough to deal with the ordinary League One.
However, playing against a team like West Bromwich Albion, especially in their home court, the bench lineup is still very unsafe. He is not sure about the specific outcome of the game. It depends on the performance of the players on the field. .
Wansheng just wants the team to perform as well as possible.
Derby County lose the game, but it is good to win, and one more win is better than one loss!
He will not refuse to win. (To be continued ~^~)
