Chapter 146 Victory Is in Sight

Morris helped Derby County equalize the score. After scoring, Morris waved and ran to the fan stand in a single lap, shouted and hugged from the Derby County fan stand, and the stand also thought of something more in response. Big cheers.

Morris is really excited!

Since Wansheng coached the team, he has been valued as the team's midfield core and absolute main force, and he has not changed until now, but since this season, he has been overshadowed by the light of Cahill and Ribery. No one can shake the team's main position, but he is still very unwilling and has been working hard to perform well.

Now is the most watched game of the season - the FA Cup semi-final!

In this semi-final, the team prepared a lot, and he also hopes that he can score in the game to prove something.

he made it!

The importance of this goal is undoubtedly. If the team can achieve the final victory, his goal must be the most critical, because it is the goal to tie the score.

Wan Sheng also nodded with satisfaction to Morris' performance.

In fact, in Wansheng's view, Cahill, Ribery, and Morris are all the absolute main players of the team, but there are actually differences. For example, Morris and Ribery are attacking. Players, it is precisely because of their hard work that the team can suppress the opponent. On the contrary, Cahill's position can be replaced. This is considered from a tactical point of view. After all, there are many strikers who can score goals.

But from the outside, Cahill is obviously stronger than the other two because he scores more goals and his brilliance is more dazzling.

This is the difference between professional and amateur.

Amateurs value performance and whether they can attract the attention of fans. They don't care who creates opportunities, they only care who seizes opportunities. It is precisely because of this that those strikers who perform well are worth a lot. to rise. But this kind of player often degenerates faster. When he appears in an unsuitable team and an unsuitable tactical system, he will not perform so well, so that he is labeled as a parallel import by the media, which is like from Heaven has entered hell.

There are many players with this experience. For example, Michael Owen, the golden boy of England who is about to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid. Because he does not adapt to the atmosphere of La Liga and cannot play the main force in the team to affect his state, it will be difficult for him to perform well even if he plays. In the peak period, but after going to Chelsea, he quickly became a substitute, and he did not perform much until he left.

In short, forward players, not adapting to the team will be a big problem. Instead, players like Maurice and Ribery. They work with the team to create opportunities, and such players will perform well no matter where they go.

After Morris helped the team complete the goal, Millwall fans were quite disappointed. They originally thought that the team could always lead, but they were tied so quickly, which made them worry about the situation.

Many reporters in the media booth were also quite disappointed.

They also counted on Millwall to create a miracle victory over Derby County, and it didn't take long for Derby County to recover the score... No, Millwall still has a chance. Some media reporters thought comfortably.

But soon they were even more disappointed...

Morris's goal gave Derby County an equaliser and the two teams were back on the same starting line. The Derby County players also relaxed a lot.

On the contrary, Millwall's side was disappointed. In fact, their goal was so sudden that they themselves did not expect the team to take the lead so quickly, and Derby County's goal was a bit of a matter of course, Derby County dominated The advantage on the field is that the midfielder constantly creates opportunities for the frontcourt. The more opportunities there are, the greater the chance of scoring a goal. It is normal to score a goal.

It is also because of the contrast between the two teams' goals that makes Millwall a little suspicious for a while - can we really beat Derby County and create a miracle?

After the start of the game, they still had this mentality, and the performance was a bit poor. The first wave of attacks did not reach the Derby County penalty area and it ended. After that, Derby County launched a counterattack, and Ribery quickly led the way. The ball passed out of space to find an opportunity for the player who inserted behind him. Cahill seized the opportunity and scored a powerful shot to help Derby County overtake the score.

Just two minutes later, when the football flew into Millwall's goal again, Millwall felt like the world was falling apart...

How far is heaven and hell?

Ask Millwall fans now and they'll have the answer right away: "Two minutes away..."

In just two minutes, Derby County went from equalizing the score to overtaking the score. Perhaps in such a short time, Millwall just took a nap, and the result was two consecutive goals.

In particular, the last goal was scored by Cahill... Cahill, Millwall fans are familiar with Cahill. Since 1997, Cahill has played for Millwall at a young age. It wasn't until last season that Millwall sold Cahill to Derby County.

Then Cahill exploded!

He seems to have found the peak of his life. He has been scoring goals and goals in the league and the FA Cup. He played for Millwall for six seasons. Cahill scored a total of 44 goals. So far, Cahill has scored 35 goals, 29 of which are in League One alone. Why did this Australian, who was not in this state at Millwall, burst into strength when he arrived at Derby County? Woolen cloth?

Millwall fans don't get it.

The only thing they know is that if Cahill can be this effective at Millwall, even if he was injured before the summer, the team will never consider selling him.

The result is that now Cahill is in such an important game, against his old club Millwall, to help Derby County score the go-ahead goal.

Millwall fans quite disappointed...

The reporters in the media booth were also very disappointed. They thought that Millwall still had a chance just now, but when they saw the ball, they suddenly realized that they were thinking too much. Perhaps, it was just like the Chinese said before the game. In that case, in the face of the absolute strength gap, no matter how high the fighting spirit is, it doesn't matter, and miracles are impossible.

Cahill didn't think so much, after the goal. He was happy too, but he didn't celebrate and acted indifferently because it was a goal against Millwall, where he had been playing before. Six years is definitely very emotional. Cahill also has a familiar, intimate feel to Millwall fans, so he doesn't celebrate when he scores a Millwall goal.

The rest of the Derby players knew what happened between Cahill and Millwall, so they just clapped each other's hands to show their joy at the goal, like it was nothing to them.

Wansheng stood up from the coaching bench, like an ordinary fan. Slapped twice for the goal.

That's all.

How the Derby County team looked up and down. It's like saying, "It's just a goal, it's just a go-ahead score, we don't care at all, it's nothing..."

This feeling made Millwall even more depressed.

Millwall's team leader, Wise, was also on the field. His own feeling was that they seemed to be caught in a quagmire, and he wanted to organize the team's offense just now. But as soon as the attack hits midfield, they face a seemingly endless pressing from the opposing side. The pressing made them scrambling, and they didn't have the kind of players who were very skilled with their feet, so they played in a mess and the football was quickly taken back.

In such a situation, Wise really has nothing to do.

He suddenly thought of what the opponent's Chinese coach said before the game, "In the face of absolute strength, miracles are impossible." He didn't remember that clearly, but that was the general meaning.

Looking at the current situation, he suddenly absolutely makes sense... In front of Derby County, it is not easy for Millwall to attack half-time, so how can he create a miracle?

Wise quickly shook his head.

He knows that he should never think about these things in the game, especially since he is the team leader, the team's interim coach, or the commander on the field, no matter who in the team wants to give up, he must not give up, especially the game It's only in the first half and there's still a lot of time.

So he began to remind everyone to be defensive.

If Derby County scores another goal and is two goals behind, the team wants to equalize the score, which is a bit of a miracle, so defense is the most important, as long as you can defend well, the gap of one goal is not the end, They had a chance in the second half.

So Wise directed the team to defend well.

But defense is not something that a team can do well with just one effort. At the same time, it also depends on the performance of the opponent. If the opponent's performance is average, it may be able to defend well. But if the opponent's performance is quite good, then it depends on the defense alone. It is extremely difficult to keep the goal.

This is the situation now, Derby County are in very good form, they are very good at attacking, it is not easy for Millwall to passively defend the goal.

Wise's efforts to direct the defense is useful, but that's all. Derby County attacked for a while and failed to seize several opportunities. As a result, it was 40 minutes after the first half time. In the 43rd minute of the half, Derby County broke the Millwall goal again.

"Ivan Crewe!!" The on-site commentator shouted out the name of the scoring player.

This is a direct free kick from Ivan Kru!

When Derby County got this free kick opportunity about 23 meters in front of the goal, Millwall probably did not expect this to be converted into a goal. Players in League One teams generally have limited skills, and few players are very good at free kicks. However, they did some research on Derby County before the game, and they also knew that the opponent's Ivan Crewe had scored several direct free kicks in the league, so they still attached great importance to defense.

But they hadn't thought that Ivan Crewe still scored the ball. It was a high curve ball. After the ball went around the wall, it fell directly to the upper left corner of the goal. The angle was quite tricky, although Millwall Goalkeeper Marshall judged the right angle, but his save was a beat too late, and in the end he could only watch the football fall into the goal.

3:1!

At the end of the first half, Ivan Crewe helped Derby County extend their lead!

on the coach's bench.

Wansheng saw Ivan Kru's goal and also stood up and walked to the sidelines, clapping his hands to celebrate.

His expression was still indifferent, as if the goal was a matter of course, but he was happy because he knew that with the advantage of two goals, the game was basically guaranteed to win.

Now, Wan Sheng can say with certainty that it is only a matter of time before Derby County reach the FA Cup final. (To be continued ~^~)
