Chapter 159 Full of Doubts

The FA Cup final is held at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, the home of the Welsh national football team.

The Millennium Stadium was unveiled in 1999. It was built by the Welsh Rugby Union to host the 1999 Rugby World Cup. It cost 126 million pounds. The stadium can accommodate 74,500 spectators. playground.

Since 2001, the Wembley Stadium in London has been refurbished, and the FA will hold the FA Cup final and the English League Cup final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which also further enhances the popularity of the Millennium Stadium.

On the afternoon of May 22, the two teams have all arrived at the Millennium Stadium.

Just when the two teams warmed up, fans had already started to enter the stadium. There were more than 4,000 Derby County fans who came to Cardiff with the team for this game. In comparison, Manchester United fans were more, reaching 10,000. The number of tickets actually allocated by the FA is 10,000 for both teams, but as a small regional team, Derby County fans who can come to Cardiff, Wales with the team will definitely not reach these numbers, so The rest are reserved for local Cardiff fans.

There are still a lot of Welsh local fans who came to the scene. They filled the entire audience stand. For Welsh fans, it is a rare opportunity to see the final match of the England Cup at home, and there will be no problem with ticket sales. .

The fans of the two teams aside, some local Welsh fans are Manchester United fans, and there are very few Derby County fans. However, most neutral fans actually support Derby County in their hearts. After all, Derby County is a weak team compared to Manchester United. Most people tend to sympathize with the weak.

But that sympathy didn't show during the warm-up phase, which had not yet begun. Seeing Manchester United's stars on the field, the fans cheered.

In contrast, the cheers for Derby County players are pitiful, because most fans can't name Derby County players at all.

The discrepancy suffocated Derby County.

The reporters who just came to the media booth saw this kind of atmosphere. I remembered the Chinese who said that he was "unknown" and said he wanted to beat Manchester United. It all feels funny, Manchester United is so strong and has so many supporters, why can Derby County beat Manchester United?

If Manchester United can perform well, perhaps the Millennium Stadium may soon become Manchester United's home ground, and the pressure on Derby County will become greater, and naturally it will become more passive. Then why would they win?

Wansheng didn't know what the media thought. He wouldn't care either. Before the game, he kept a low profile except for saying a few words about winning the championship. A day ago, he had submitted the starting list smoothly, and then went to the press conference when the players were warming up. meeting.

At the pre-match press conference, Wansheng remained very low-key.

But there is one thing that will not give in. That's about winning. "Don't say United will win. We will be the winners."

"Sir, you're so sure Manchester United won, what will you say if we win? Derby County has had shit luck... lol..."

"We came here and didn't want to be runner-up, so we had to take the championship!"

"..."

These are what Wansheng said to those questioning reporters at the pre-match press conference, but all he got was some taunting and contemptuous words and eyes. Even if the media in the venue supported Derby County, few people thought that the team had Opportunity, after all, compared with Derby County and Manchester United, the gap is too big, Derby County beat Manchester United, it can be described as a 'miracle'.

But Wansheng doesn't care, he just wants to emphasize fighting spirit and champion.

At the press conference, after re-emphasizing several times, Wan Sheng also lost the excitement of bickering with reporters. After seeing the time when the players had completed their warm-up, he returned to the locker room.

In the locker room, Wan Sheng watched the players busy preparing.

The public opinion before the game is not good for the team, but Wansheng does not want to see the public opinion affecting the team, which will affect their performance of the game. Fortunately, Wansheng sees that the preparations of each player are in an orderly manner. There was no panic, which made him relieved.

Wansheng is also very proud.

Look at this team, who were just trying to stay out of League One at the end of last season, but now they can keep their cool when facing Manchester United head-on.

In addition to being proud, Wansheng also began to do the last mobilization before the station.

He stood up.

When everyone saw his actions, they all stopped what they were doing and gathered around to look at Wansheng.

Wan Sheng said, "We have been preparing for the game for nearly a month, we have worked hard for a month, this month, each of you has been training very hard, everything is for this game, if we lose In the competition, this month’s ability will be in vain, but I have confidence in you, so do you have confidence in yourself!?”

"Yes!" many players shouted.

Wan Sheng said with a smile, "Yes, that's it! We worked hard, now it's time to win! The opponent is Manchester United, a very strong team. Each of you knows Manchester United and what it means to win them. Before the game No one is optimistic about us, and a lot of analysis in the media is against us, but we can still keep preparing for the game until now, and I believe we can win the game!"

"It's not just trust, it's trust in the results of our efforts. It took us almost a month to adapt to the new tactics, we knew them well, but on the contrary, they didn't understand us, they didn't know our new tactics, we It will catch them off guard, our defense is also good, our offense is also good, all together, that's why I trust the game!"

"I believe we can win, do you believe it?"

Listening to Wansheng's explanation, the players think about it and it's true. Although the outside world is not optimistic about the team, they have worked hard for a month. If they lose the game, they will gain nothing. No one wants their efforts. There's no reward, so they're all the more hopeful of winning.

Everyone shouted in unison, "Believe!"

Wan Sheng smiled with satisfaction.

Maybe this game can really turn into a miracle. He likes miracles and likes to beat strong teams. Especially for a dominant team like Manchester United, defeating them will give you a greater sense of accomplishment, and what he pursues is victory, and those who win will have this feeling.

"Very good! Just to have that momentum! The opponent is Manchester United? So what? They are not invincible, we are going to beat them today. Win the championship for the club!"

"Those public opinions say our weak team. What if they say we have no hope at all, we just want to beat them and let the media see if we have a chance!"

......

When the players of the two teams played, various fans expressed their inclinations.

At this moment, which is similar to the warm-up time, the fans will only cheer for the stars they know. So Manchester United players received a roar of cheers. There were no cheers on the Derby side. Even the team's biggest stars, Cahill, Ribery, and Morris, did not receive any cheers. Compared with Manchester United stars, they are really not well-known, at least In Cardiff, Wales, fans who know the trio are extremely rare.

Hearing these voices, Diamares cursed in dissatisfaction. "These goddamn fans."

Obviously it is a neutral stadium, so it seems to be the home of Manchester United. That was really depressing, but Wan Sheng smiled nonchalantly.

He and Diamares walked to the coaching bench with the substitutes. After arriving at the coaching bench, he sat directly in his seat. The next thing he needed to do was watch the game here. Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and whether the next victory can be won depends on the performance of the players.

Before the game, many people knew Derby County's roster. There was only one striker Cahill on the list, but there were five defenders at the same time. The teenager Leto Ziegler also appeared on the list, and the five defenders were partnered with a striker. , This is different from the 442 formation normally used by Derby County. In normal games, they will arrange two strikers.

But everyone felt nothing.

At the beginning of the game against Manchester United, it is normal to have one more striker and one less striker, but everyone thinks that Derby County will still use attacking tactics.

Neither the commentator nor the reporters in the media booth, nor the fans and commentators felt anything was wrong. But there is one exception, and that is Manchester United manager Ferguson.

One less forward and one more defender sounds like it doesn’t matter, but in fact, it’s a bit unworkable in terms of tactics. Where would an additional defender be? How to play Derby County's attack without a striker?

These all need to be considered.

It sounds like just changing a player's position, but the tactics are completely different. For this adjustment to be carried out, there must be changes in tactics, otherwise the formation will definitely be messed up.

So this kind of adjustment is very unusual.

"Derby County really made special adjustments to strengthen their defense?" Ferguson was a little confused, but he quickly held his mind and prepared to watch the game carefully.

Soon, as United made two consecutive attacks, Ferguson realized that something was wrong, because when United attacked, he did not see Derby County's formation with high players.

Generally speaking, even if they are passively suppressed, they will swim near the center line and are ready to counterattack at any time. However, Derby County does not seem to have such players. Instead, all eleven of them are in the backcourt. The players are also lined up in front of the penalty area line.

This seems very strange.

In football games, it is easy to see the formation when retreating, but Derby County's formation is a bit messy. Those players seem to stand and run at will, and there is no formation at all. There are no players at the front, what game is this playing?

Could it be that the Derby County players are out of shape and can't even stand in a good formation?

Ferguson was full of doubts.
