Chapter 10 Victory Is Not Far Away!

In fact, the players of Derby County are also full of surprises, like the idea of ​​assistant coach Diamares, like the surprise of Ivan Crewe, who scored goals, etc. They only feel that the team is a bit too much ahead of Arsenal. It's easy. In their imagination, even if the team has the possibility to beat Arsenal, it must be a difficult game, instead of attacking and kicking the neutral directly to complete the shot.

Before the game, Wansheng repeatedly emphasized that the team played the game normally and had every chance to defeat Arsenal. The whole team heard it, but there were very few who believed in it completely, except for a limited number of players who had a very high respect for Wansheng. , other players are with doubts and distrust, after all, that is Arsenal!

League champion last season!

Created an unbeaten record of 49 league games, the only team that can compete with Manchester United in the Premier League in ten years!

Arsenal's strength has not weakened this season, so in the eyes of Derby County players, the team is still far from a giant like Arsenal.

But now, they have done it.

It's like the opponent is not Arsenal, just an ordinary small team, but in fact, the opponent is indeed Arsenal, and they are also playing in Highbury. Now that they can lead, they have to find the reason from themselves, maybe ...The reason is like what the coach said, it is possible to win Arsenal by playing the game normally?

A lot of players have this idea.

After celebrating the goal, many players looked to the coaching bench on the sidelines, where Wan Sheng was looking at the court with a smile on his face, his expression was very relaxed and relaxed.

So Derby County players have more confidence!

After the game restarted, they continued to work hard on the field, full of fighting spirit and reckless fight against Arsenal, and they showed a better competitive state than before.

......

Wenger never expected to face such a Derby County team. The key is that he didn't know how to deal with it at this time.

His coaching experience is rich, and naturally it is not completely unexpected. He has a certain analysis of Derby County's tactics. In the face of such a complete set of offensive football tactics, there are actually two methods of confrontation. The first is that the team must play the state, attack more violently than the opponent, and minimize mistakes. Naturally, it can be suppressed back. To sum up, as long as the team performs well enough, they will be able to beat Derby County, because Arsenal's tactics themselves are more focused on offense; the second method is to adopt a passive defense-based strategy, relying on defense and solid defense, Looking for opportunities to counterattack, it is natural to be able to deal with Derby County's offensive.

But does he have a choice?

Now temporarily adjust the tactics. Turn offense into defense. It's almost impossible, even if he's been in charge of Arsenal for eight years, he can't make the team so finger-pointing. Even if he needs to adjust, he will have to do it after half-time. In addition, at Highbury Stadium, Arsenal. In the face of a newly-promoted horse, can you choose a defensive counterattack? The answer can only be 'NO'.

So Wenger knew he had no choice.

He can only hope that the team will play well. Countering the suppression of Derby County instead of making mistakes as they are now. As a result, the situation on the field is dominated by the opponent.

......

Wan Sheng will not underestimate Arsenal.

He knows very well that it is quite scary to make Arsenal in shape. When they are in shape, no matter what team they are capable of winning, especially the strongest Arsenal in recent years, you can't count on them. never in state.

So if the team wants to win, they must score again as soon as possible.

After the restart of the game, Derby County's tactics remained unchanged. The players were full of fighting spirit and devoted themselves to the tactics. The tactics were naturally to suppress Arsenal, to attack and to strive for scoring opportunities.

Arsenal were very passive for a while.

At this time, the most surprised were the media reporters who came to cover the game. The game received little attention. Most of the media reporters who came were supporters of the two teams. For them, it was absolutely unexpected for the game to go so far. Yes, the media supporting Derby County are crazy cheers, they are like fans, and then shouting for Derby County, they hope Derby County can create a miracle to beat Arsenal; Arsenal's supporting media reporters are on the current situation They were a little confused. They didn't expect the game to look like this. Arsenal played against Derby County at Highbury. As a result, Arsenal were very passive and scored a goal first? How could this happen?

It was the very few neutral media who responded quickly. As soon as they saw Derby County score, they immediately notified the headquarters and other colleagues of their company in various ways to let them pay more attention to the game.

"Derby County are ahead of Arsenal!"

"Don't pay attention to that boring match between Chelsea and Manchester United, watch this one!"

"Derby County crushed Arsenal! Do you believe it?"

"God, I can't believe what I'm seeing! Pay more attention to this match, maybe this will be the most heavyweight report after the match!"

"..."

As news spreads fast, Arsenal's match against Derby County continues.

Wan Sheng didn't know what was happening in the media booth. He stared at the field with all his heart, expecting the team to score the second goal quickly. As long as the team can score the second goal, the initiative will be completely In the hands of the team, even here at Highbury Stadium, he is confident to take away the victory.

In the first round of the league, victory is still very important. Especially defeating an opponent like Arsenal will greatly increase the confidence of the whole team. Wansheng still hopes that the team can win.

But at this time there is a little crisis in front of Derby County.

In the attack that just ended, Henry received a pass from Vieira on the left side of the penalty area and almost scored with a strong kick. At the moment he shot, the Highbury Stadium even remembered the crazy cheers, only But the football strayed from the goal post and flew out of bounds.

Seeing this ball, many Derby County supporters were scared into a cold sweat.

Wan Sheng is also quite frightened. He is very clear that Arsenal players still have a considerable advantage in terms of personal ability. Whether it is Henry or Vieira, both of them are real 'purple' superstar players. Up, no team's back line can say that they can defend, Arsenal has more than two 'purple' superstar players, such as Campbell, Pires and others, the strength is also very close to the superstar. Not to mention that there is an experienced and very good 'superstar' veteran like 'Ice Prince' Bergkamp. If Arsenal can play smoothly, Derby County's defense can be completely guaranteed.

"Must score again soon!"

Wan Sheng clenched his fists and stared at the stadium.

......

After Baker-Alfred intercepted Arsenal's pass in front of the penalty area line, he did not rush to make a big-footed clearance, but shoved the ball diagonally to the captain Marcus at the back left for the first time.

This is after technical integration into tactics. A small change in the way Derby County play.

There is actually another reason for this change. That is Wansheng's upgraded MAX coaching skill 'Resolute Interception', which has an effect of 'when your player completes a steal, the 'passing' attribute evaluation increases by 5', and a 5-point pass attribute evaluation can be said to be quite high. Now, this can ensure that after the player completes the steal, the ball will be accurately handed over to the teammate's feet, rather than a big foot in a panic. The football is easily handed back to the other side. So stealing would be meaningless.

After Marcus received the ball, Derby started their attack.

The football passed continuously from the backcourt and quickly reached the frontcourt. This is also a change in Derby County's style of play, that is to slowly move forward with the ground ball, try to ensure that the football is under its own control, rather than using the ball. 'Gamble luck' general high-altitude ball, after a month of training. At least in this area the team can do well, of course. In the process of passing the ball, you should try your best to pay attention to the opponent's counter-attack, otherwise the football will be easily robbed by the opponent, so it is better not to change.

When an opposing player grabs the ball, Derby County will try to traverse the ball as much as possible, or continue to pass forward. Fast-break football will not pass backward unless necessary, so the passing speed may not be too fast, but it is guaranteed Football has always been moving forward, and naturally it will not slow down anywhere.

Such a fast offensive rhythm made it difficult for many of Arsenal's frontcourt players to return to the backcourt to defend. After a few passes, the football reached the front of Arsenal's penalty area.

At this time, many Arsenal players had just returned to their own half.

Derby County's football makes them very uncomfortable. They feel like every wave of Derby County's attack is a quick counterattack, but they can't all pile up in front of the penalty area to defend, so they can only try to defend Derby County's players. Let them find good opportunities in the frontcourt.

But it's not easy.

Derby County's progress is overall. When the football reaches the front of the penalty area, several front and midfield players also run over. Arsenal need to pay attention to a few people to limit the defense. It is difficult for them to fully take care of them, just like before. Ivan Crewe was not guarded, but this time he was guarded, but there was one person that Arsenal players still didn't notice, and that was full-back Leighton Baines.

It's really hard to notice Layton Bynes' insertion. This is the rare time when he's so far ahead of the game at this point in the game, but when he followed, his teammates noticed.

Derby County's formation is a whole, but it's not a random run. Baines stepped forward, and Ribery had to retreat a little to ensure that the team's formation as a whole would not go wrong. Both of them were near the center line before. Baines followed, and Ribery ran a little slower.

Arsenal's left midfielder Ljungberg may be wondering why Ribery didn't come up.

The two have been opponents since the beginning of the game. This time, he glanced at the opponent and saw that the opponent did not come up, so he could only go to defend Morris next to him with his teammates, but Morris did not insert too far forward. , he also has no ball at his feet.

That's when Ljungberg felt wrong.

There's never been a Derby attack like this before, they've usually come on as a whole, so he's always got something to do.

But this time...?

As soon as Ljunberg turned his head, he saw Van der Vaart, who had the ball, and passed the ball diagonally to the other side. He looked in the direction and saw the left back of Derby County. He didn't know when he appeared there. The location, too late to be surprised, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop him!"

But this shout came a little late, Leighton Baines had already kicked the ball and shot!

"Leighton Bynes! Derby's left-back!"

When Baines rushed over to meet the ball, Sky TV commentator George Woodgate didn't realize anything, and he calmly introduced Baines to the fans in front of the TV.

But he was immediately surprised.

Because he saw on the screen, Leighton Bynes rushed over to meet the ball and waved his right leg high. Just a second ago, he thought that Bynes would choose to pass the ball, but... . Shots?

For a moment, George Woodgate glanced at the position of Bynes, which was on the outside of the penalty area, at a 60-degree angle to the goal, about 25 meters away, and shot directly from such a long distance? There is a chance, but...George Woodgate has no time to think, because the football has already rushed out of Baines's feet and went straight to Arsenal's goal.

He could only do his best to shout, "Shoot!!!"

George Woodgate did not expect Baynes to shoot directly, and Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann naturally did not expect that he was watching the football from a distance, with his defender teammates blocking the line of sight. As a result, when the football crossed the penalty area When he was on the line, he saw a white dot flying towards him.

The reaction was half a beat too slow, which also caused Lehmann to be unable to make saves coherently. He could only bet luck and dash to the left, but for a powerful long-range shot, even if it was half a second slower. It's impossible to save the ball in the time, especially Baines's foot angle is still very big.

So it's not surprising that Lehmann can't save the ball.

"Leighton Bynes! Leighton Bynes! This young left-back scored the second goal for Derby County!" George Woodgate finally came back to his senses and couldn't believe it exclaimed.

“Goooooooooal!!!”

"The ball is in!"

"Derby County lead Arsenal 2-0 at Highbury Stadium!"

"This is Highbury Stadium in London. It is the first-round match between defending champions Arsenal and Derby County in the Premier League. It is now the 41st minute of the first half, and Derby County, who are playing away from home, has a two-goal lead!"

"The last goal was scored by Derby's right-back Ivan Crewe, and the one just scored was their left-back Leighton Bynes, in a match against Arsenal at Derby. Here, no one would have thought that Derby County was doing so well, they were even suppressed in the situation, and it was not their striker or their star players who contributed to Derby County, but Ivan Crewe , it was Leighton Bynes, two unknown players who scored a goal each at Highbury..."

George Woodgate's voice was full of wonder.

At this time, after scoring the goal, Leighton Bynes was already celebrating wildly with his teammates. He was excited and hugged each other who came over. Every teammate was also very enthusiastic. They never thought that the team could score two goals. Leading Arsenal, at this moment, who scored the goal is not important, the team's sense of honor is the most important.

Wan Sheng was also very excited to stand on the sidelines.

He clenched his fists and yelled at Diamares, "Did it! They did it! Haha! See? Gal, we did it!"

The second goal is here!

With a two-goal lead, victory is not far away! (To be continued ~^~)
