Chapter 12 Another Goal!
If Wansheng knew that Wenger had regarded himself as a league opponent, he might still feel a little arrogant. This could be considered a success. In the English league, people who can really be Wenger's opponents can be counted on one hand. -- Manchester United manager Ferguson is definitely one, plus Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and Liverpool manager Benitez this season.
Others are gone.
Only these teams can compete with Arsenal, so being Wenger's opponent is a success in itself.
But this does not make Wansheng feel honored or anything. In his opinion, it is a matter of time, because he is the manager of Derby County, and he is also very confident in the strength of the team.
What makes him most proud is the tactic currently adopted by the team on the field - OS-Fast!
Even though the defensive line has been shrunk, the team still uses OS-Fast, and the tactics and formation have not changed at all. This is enough to make him proud, and it is also his biggest achievement in Derby County in more than a year.
This set of tactics is a complete set of tactics summed up by Wansheng based on the knowledge in the mind of the 'former Wansheng', plus his own experience accumulation, plus ten years of football knowledge and vision of others. For more than a few years, all he has been doing is perfecting the tactics. Now, with the improvement of the player's strength and the improvement of the team's organization strength, the team can finally exert some tactical power.
The most basic core of OS-Fast is pressing. With this as the core, Wansheng actually considered his own coaching skills at the beginning, 'resolute interception', which is his first and most effective defensive skill. 'Resolute interception', the team's pressing ability is very strong.
On this basis, to stabilize the defense. Creating offensive opportunities is the core of OS-Fast.
This kind of defense can not only be used for full-court pressing, but the half-court pressing effect is also quite good, and the half-court pressing range is small, and the natural defense intensity will be much higher. So after the team shrinks the defense. Still using the original pressing tactics, the defensive effect will be very good, and it can also create more counterattack opportunities. This is the current Derby County tactics on the field.
Wansheng calls it the 'OS-Fast offensive mode' for offensive football that uses full-court pressing; Wansheng calls it the 'OS-Fast defensive mode' for half-court pressing defensive counterattacks.
Two modes, it seems to be two styles, two tactics. But in reality the difference is only the extent to which the formation opens and contracts. The tactics are exactly the same.
However, at present, the team has not fully adapted to the tactics. Therefore, there are some problems in the transition between defensive and offensive modes in the game. Players cannot use tactics as they please. That is to say, the adaptability of the team to tactics is not very strong. The effect that can be exerted is naturally much worse, in terms of degree. Now the team's tactics are a little worse than that of Barcelona's "Dream Team", mainly because the technical content of the tactics is not very high. The decision in this regard largely depends on the ability of the players. There is still some gap between the ability of the players in the team and the real giants, so the technical content is naturally a little worse. In addition, the team is not very adaptable to tactics, of course. It can't be compared with the future Barcelona 'Dream Team', but the current performance is not worse than the Arsenal on the field.
That's enough.
Now Wansheng's goal is to win the first round of the league. It is still too early to dominate Europe. If they can beat Arsenal and win the first round, then Derby County will have a good start in the league. As for the future, Wansheng believes that the team will get better and better as it did last season.
......
After the start of the second half, Arsenal launched a stormy attack against Derby County.
Wave after wave of maddening attacks left Derby in half-court, a game that excited Arsenal fans, who thought the team had regained control and completely overwhelmed Derby, but the result was long For a period of time, Arsenal could not get a good opportunity in front of the goal, and many attacks often ended in steals in the middle.
Those who really study football, watching the game know that Arsenal are not taking the initiative. The current situation is only caused by Derby County's shrinking defense. When they have almost no one in Arsenal's half, Arsenal will naturally be able to. Taking the advantage of the scene, it is not so much that Arsenal suppressed Derby County, but Derby County took the initiative to let Arsenal suppress.
Arsenal players feel the most obvious.
In the first half, they were a little suppressed by the opponent, but then they also found a lot of opportunities in the attack, and now they suppress the opponent, but their good opportunities are reduced, whenever the football is in the opponent's half, although Under their control, but they also seem to be in a quagmire, can't do anything but pass the ball, because the pass is slower, there will be opponents pressing up, which makes them feel every attack. They are all pressing, and this feeling makes them have a feeling that they have no idea what to do with the Derby County goal.
The result is that Arsenal's attack has been slow to pay off.
Half of the second half time has passed, but the score on the field is still 0:2, the home team Arsenal is in front, the visiting team Derby County is behind, Derby County leads Arsenal by two goals.
......
By this time, many ordinary fans saw that something was wrong.
Originally, Arsenal fans were very excited to see the team suppressing their opponents in the second half. At the beginning, they sent countless cheers to the team, but as time passed, when Arsenal were unable to find them in front of the goal. After the opportunity, their shouts were also much smaller.
Until now, when Arsenal just had the ball, it was a little quiet in the stands.
Derby County fans are re-energized.
At the beginning of the second half, they were a little worried about the team. After all, the opponent was Arsenal. No Derby County fan would think that Arsenal could not score their goal. In their opinion, this is only a matter of time. The only thing that makes them happy is that, The team has a two-goal advantage, and perhaps with that the team is likely to win.
By now, they are more confident!
There are only twenty minutes left in the game, and the team is still leading by two goals. Even the pessimistic Derby County fans feel that the team is very likely to win, so they cheer for the team.
The reporters in the media booth were all watching the game seriously.
Most of these reporters are pure supporters of the two teams, and they are sports reporters. Naturally, their views on the game cannot be the same as that of ordinary fans. They will analyze the situation of the game, and now the situation is very clear, that is, Derby County has the upper hand.
In the eyes of many media reporters, the second half of the game is actually the same.
It's not about Derby County's tactics here. It's the situation of the two teams. Derby County gained some advantages in the first half and scored two goals. The initiative of the game has always been in the hands of Derby County. In the second half, most of the ball is in the hands of Arsenal, but they have not yet. A few shots on goal and Derby's defence was tight.
Therefore. In fact, the initiative is still in the hands of Derby County. Because they have a two-goal advantage.
With the advantage in score, they can naturally take the initiative. Derby County only needs to continue the game like this, and they will naturally win when the game is over, and Arsenal will definitely not be reconciled to this. They will continue to strengthen and strive for goals. even an equalizer. And they are actually 'forced to be helpless' if they don't do it. It is tantamount to giving up the chance to win, that is to say, it is Derby County that decides what Arsenal does. It is certain that Arsenal are actually very passive in the second half and they are always in danger.
Seeing this, Arsenal's media is even more worried about the team; Derby County's media is full of excitement, and some reporters have begun to write the big news of Derby County's victory over Arsenal at Highbury Stadium.
As many people think, Arsenal have no more options.
At this level of the game, the only thing they need to do is to continue to strengthen the attack. They even pressed three fronts and attacked the Derby County half. Often this situation can only be seen when the game is about to end, but Arsenal Na has done it now, which also proves that in the situation of two goals behind, they can only gamble and fight hard.
Seeing Arsenal's approach, Wan Sheng laughed.
Derby County has indeed been defending, but this does not mean that Derby County does not have the ability to counterattack, but that Arsenal's previous offensive maintained well, Derby County did not have a good chance, and the occasional counterattack hit the frontcourt without a response. Give up, but when Arsenal press on the third line and the defense in the backcourt is very weak, the team's opportunity may come.
Since Arsenal has such a reluctant choice to press on the whole line, then the team will take the opportunity to score another goal.
Wan Sheng thought with a smile.
......
At this time, even Derby County fans who were full of confidence in the team could not imagine that the team could win Arsenal by a large margin. As the defending champion, Arsenal is still very intimidating to ordinary fans, especially Derby County. Just a newly promoted horse, this is not what the media said, but the fact.
Arsenal didn't have a lot of staff in the summer, but they didn't sell their stars, their strength didn't decline, Derby County faced a complete Arsenal, and it's really hard to beat the strong defending champions by a big score. Dare to imagine things.
Derby County fans are still very sane.
Last season, Derby County won the promotion as the first place in League One and won the FA Cup. These two championships have made them very satisfied. Now if they can beat Arsenal, they have already 100%. The satisfaction of the second, for them, it is still too greedy to defeat the defending champion by a large score.
So seeing the team passively defending in the second half, and even being suppressed by Arsenal at one point, they also felt it was a matter of course that they should shrink the defense line and defend the entire line to win the victory when they had the advantage of two goals.
As for the counterattack...you have it, it doesn't matter if you don't, as long as you can win, it doesn't matter at all.
The Derby County players didn't know what the fans were saying, but they were always looking for opportunities to try to fight back. Defensive counterattack, defense, counterattack, defense is important, and counterattack is also very important. If you don’t counterattack, it’s just defense, then it’s called defense, not defensive counterattack. Anyway, they've been trying to counter-attack because their tactic is a defensive counter-attack, and they want to break the Arsenal goal again!
The entire Derby County team thinks this way, and even more so for several frontcourt players, especially Van der Vaart, who hopes that he can score the first goal in the Premier League!
The first goal, in the first round of the league, at Highbury Stadium, it was fantastic!
Van der Vaart has been trying to do the same.
When Arsenal's attack was intercepted in front of the penalty area again, Van der Vaart ran forward immediately, followed by Morris and Ribery on the wing.
The 'Trident' on the left side of Derby County's formation is activated across the board!
......
Sky TV commentator George Woodgate first noticed the changes on the field. At half-time, Woodgate excitedly talked about the game and also made some prospects for the second half. He said that Derby County is likely to choose to defend in the second half, so that they have a greater hope of winning.
He guessed right.
But Woodgate did not let up his attention to the game. for a long time. He has been explaining Arsenal's attack, but he feels that Derby County will definitely find opportunities to counterattack, especially when Arsenal's defense is weak in the back.
Sure enough... it's coming!
Can Derby County take the chance? He didn't know, but it didn't affect his excited commentary on what was happening on the field, "Marcus! He stole the ball, Derby County counterattacked, their front players have already run! Marcus passed Osman . Ousmane crossed Baynes. Baynes got a straight pass in front of Ribery, the ball has passed halftime, Arsenal hurry up to defend..."
At the same time, Arsene Wenger, the head coach on the Arsenal bench, also stood up.
He watched the game solemnly, his face full of worry.
Wenger has never been an excitable manager, he is generally calm and even if Arsenal lose important games, he will try to remain calm. But now he can't calm down.
Arsenal are already two goals behind!
Now is another chance for Derby County, do they still want to score another goal. Then Arsenal will be three goals behind, and three goals are already a big score. The first game of the defending Champions League will lose a big score to a newly-promoted horse at their doorstep?
This has to be the biggest joke of the month of August, no, the whole summer, or even the whole season!
Originally trailing by two goals and not even recovering a goal, Wenger has somewhat accepted the reality that the team is going to lose, but now it seems that Derby County is still not satisfied?
Wenger looked to the other side.
The young Chinese also stood up, staring at the playing field with anticipation on his face. Is he expecting a goal?
The two goals lead is not enough, this Chinese is really big enough!
The Derby County players on the field don't know Wenger's thoughts, maybe even if they know they don't care, who makes them and Arsenal opponents? For them, scoring at Highbury is an honour, so they naturally want to score as many as possible. As for what the Arsenal manager thinks, they don't care so much!
This time is the best chance!
Arsenal pressed on the whole line, and as a result, there were a lot of loopholes in the defense in the backcourt. Ribery, Morris, and Van der Vaart rushed to the frontcourt together. Arsenal did not have time to organize an effective defense. Man defended, but his position was a bit close to the wing, and the opportunity was not very good, so he still passed the ball to Morris.
Morris took the ball and gave it to Van der Vaart with a diagonal pass.
Van der Vaart has broken into the penalty area!
Next to him is Campbell who is defending. Campbell is the backbone of Arsenal's defense, and he is naturally very experienced in defense. This time against Van der Vaart, he originally thought that the opponent was no big deal, but he was only a young man in his twenties, but he Still a little careless.
At this time, Van der Vaart showed amazing skills under his feet!
His feet moved back and forth up and down the football, like a juggling skill, which was dazzling, let alone a defensive Campbell. He had no way of judging what Van der Vaart was going to do. He could only follow closely. He, but Van der Vaart suddenly turned the ball to the left, this action made Campbell too late to react, and as a result Van der Vaart successfully avoided a person's position.
In the restricted area, in front of the door, one person's position is enough!
Van der Vaart turned around and waved his left foot to shoot directly!
Campbell tried his best to stretch his foot to block the ball, but he couldn't catch up.
