Chapter 139 Crazy March

Wan Sheng didn't say much after the Rotherham game, but some media shut up because they didn't have much to say about the game, Derby County won so beautifully, it made them feel a little clueless .

In the face of such a slaughtered victory, do they still say that Derby County is not doing well?

They didn't think so.

Derby County is No. 1 in the league. After an ordinary league game, they will always have something to say. For example, if they concede a goal, they will criticize Derby County’s back line. Controversy in the game, it must have been to support Rotherham... but none of that, Derby County won the game cleanly, conceded no goals, scored six, what else can they say ?

Could it be that Derbyshire should be showing mercy?

Those who do, become a complete joke!

However, there are still some media that specifically pick out the wrong for Wan Sheng. If they want to pick the wrong one, they can always pick out bones. What's more, they are targeting Wan Sheng himself. A game is defiant... and so on when the remarks come out, this is no different from what was reported before the game, but there is an example-that is, Wansheng's performance at the press conference before and after the game.

They can only say that these are irrelevant.

Fans watch the game, as long as the game is won, isn't it normal for the winner to say something? Even before the game, Wan Sheng said 'Rotherham can't stop Derby County', that's true, Rotherham really couldn't stop Derby County, just look at the number of goals they conceded.

In short, there are always negative comments about Wansheng in the media.

Logically speaking, there are so many negative comments in the media, which will naturally affect the performance of the entire Derby County team. After all, everyone wants to watch the news. Seeing that the team is always criticized, there will definitely be a low mood. Even if Wansheng as the head coach does not, ordinary players will have it, so the media offensive will still affect Derby County's performance.

But this is only theoretical...

In fact. Many Derby County players have become immune to media commentary. They have been performing very well since the beginning, but there have always been negative comments in the media. They just take it as a joke. Every day when everyone meets, they will say, "What did the XXX media say today?"

"Did they criticize you?"

"Definitely criticizing the boss again! Haha..."

"Today, the XXX media said some new words, let's see, they said..." After the explanation is finished. Everyone laughed along.

media coverage during this time. It is also regarded as a joke by the players. The difference is that there are more jokes. Their hearts have long been polished into a rock by previous media reports, and they will not be affected by some reports against the club and the head coach.

In fact, the reports in the media are indeed only aimed at Wansheng, and sometimes at Derby County clubs. Derby County players are generally well received, especially the English players among them. The English media have always been stingy in reporting their own players, if you read the reports of the English media. Many people will feel that Peschisolido scores more goals than Cahill, and Ivan Crewe is definitely a lot better than Franck Ribery... This is because of the latter two They are not English players. The English media will tell the truth about their performance. The first two are English players. Naturally, it is necessary to say that a goal is a world-class goal, even if Peschisolido is 33 years old. Same thing.

Therefore, it is really difficult for outside public opinion to affect Derby County, but even so, no one expected that Derby County would usher in an outbreak in the intensive schedule at the end of March.

At the end of March, it was a dense area of ​​the League One schedule.

Four league games in ten days, this intensive schedule will make any team's scalp tingle. This is a difficult period for many teams. The media are also waiting for this period to come. They don't believe that Derby County can go smoothly. Pass, you know, that's four league games in ten days... Even if Derby County performed well, why should they lose the last game?

Winning three out of four is pretty impressive.

But as long as Derby County loses a game, then their chance will come, they can seize the loss to make a big fuss, and some reporters have even prepared a manuscript, waiting for Derby County to lose the game.

The media, who were just expecting Derby County to lose, were all disappointed.

......

On March 17, Derby County played against Watford at home. This game was almost the same as the previous game against Rotherham, the only difference being that Derby County scored six goals for Rotherham. Only four into Watford.

But this difference is no different.

Two games, ten goals and no conceded goals, this performance is eye-catching, but Derby County has no intention of celebrating because the schedule is too dense.

Just two days later, they played away to Nottingham Forest and participated in the second East Midlands derby of the season. The East Midlands derby was still a bit hot, and the competition between Derby County and Nottingham Forest continued. , Although the fans of both sides are not as hot as other large-scale derbies in England, but they are not much better as rivals, especially after Derby County's performance has become very good, the hearts of Nottingham Forest fans are a little unbalanced. Now, they hope Hart can lead the team to a victory over Derby County on their doorstep.

It's a pity that the strength gap between the two sides is obvious.

3:1, this is the final score.

Nottingham Forest worked hard at home, but only scored a goal. The only thing worth mentioning is that the competition was still very fierce. The two teams showed a strong confrontation unique to the derby, and the atmosphere was very hot. As a result, Nottingham Two people were injured in Forest, and one in Derby County was injured. It was Osman, the 'superman who couldn't run to death'. In the 65th minute of the game, he was shoveled to the ground by the opponent's player and carried off the field on a stretcher.

Wansheng went to the hospital to visit Osman immediately after the game. The good news is that Osman’s injury is not serious and he only needs to rest for a month before he can re-enter the game. This is also bad news, because the next May will be the end of the season. It may have to wait until next season to make a comeback.

Wan Sheng still felt helpless. But he knows he has to accept the fact that there will be players injured in the game, especially in the derby, it is normal for the confrontation to be fierce. This season, Derby County's injuries have been very good. Although there are occasional player injuries. But there has not been a strong wave of injuries, and the confrontation will be more intense in the Premier League. Some teams in difficult situations will even need to use youth players to make up for the lack of lineups after Christmas... At least Derby That hasn't happened in the county yet.

On March 24th, Derby County moved to South Yorkshire to challenge Sheffield United at Bramall Lane Stadium, and Derby County won 5:1.

Although a big win. But it's a pity to lose a ball. That was a loophole in the midfield defense, which allowed Sheffield United to find an attacking opportunity. This can see the impact of Osman's absence on Derby County. Ferdinand performed well, but his personal ability is worse than Osman after all. The stamina, speed, explosion and Osman are still very different. The only point is that he is experienced, but there are many times on the field. Experience is not everything, and direct spelling is very important. With Ottoman's Derby County, the midfield is as stable as Mount Tai. Even with offensive tactics, the defense of the full-court pressing can be the ultimate. Ferdinand played, increasing the intensity of the backcourt, but at the same time, the defensive performance of the full-court pressing is also poor. on some.

But the media didn't make a big fuss about this. In fact, these profound problems can only be known by a head coach like Wansheng who has a very detailed understanding of the team's players and tactics. Others can't see it at all. , In the eyes of outsiders, it is normal for Sheffield United to score one goal in a game. Didn't Derby County score five?

What is there to say...

Soon after three days, Derby County welcomed Sunderland at the Pride Stadium. Sunderland is a strong team. They are currently ranked fourth in the league, only behind West Bromwich Albion, the overall strength is still Very strong and performs quite well.

However, Derby County still has an advantage at home. In the end, the two teams battled 2:1. With Cahill's header in the second half and Leighton Baines' long-range shot from the penalty area, Derby County still won the final victory.

This is also the last league match in March.

The match with Sunderland ended, and the League One in March was also drawn to a close. After the game, the media were surprised to find that Derby County won all the games in March.

At this time, the media that criticized Derby County had long since stopped talking, and some football 'professionals' who liked to comment after Derby County games could only sigh, "Derby County has swept the League One. ."

It is worth mentioning that after the game, the "Manchester Sports News" also talked about Derby County, claiming in the article, "If England is like other leagues, there is a 'coach of the month' selection, currently coaching League One. Derby County's Wan Sheng deserves this award."

There are many reasons.

Derby County won all of their games in March, mostly big wins; Derby County were one of the most talked about teams in England in March, whatever the reason, but they did get noticed, and a lot concern; Derby County scored 28 goals in March and conceded just three.

This result made the media who wanted to speak ill of Wansheng... almost cried.

After thinking about it, they couldn't find a reason to criticize Wansheng. The main reason was that Derby County's results were too gorgeous. If such results are to be criticized, it is estimated that all teams in England should be criticized.

They had nothing to say.

When Derby County won these many victories, the previous noisy reports disappeared without a trace overnight. On the contrary, they paid little attention to the Derby County media, such as "Manchester Sports", "The Guardian" and the United Kingdom. Sky Sports TV talked about some of Derby County. As a neutral media, they praised Derby County and Wansheng. (To be continued ~^~)
