Chapter 21 New Formation

Giving the team's 'stars' more room to play actually has two benefits.

For the stars, giving more play to their individual abilities and cooperating with the team's overall offense will naturally allow the team to perform better as a whole, while the stars in the frontcourt have more room to play, and naturally the players in the backcourt will have less space. In terms of defense, it is beneficial. The players in the backcourt have less space to play, and the pressure on defense will be much less.

The frontcourt and backcourt mentioned here do not only refer to offense and defense, but also 'players involved in offense' and 'players in charge of defense'. A frontcourt player can participate in offense or defense, depending on the change of identity. Game situation and temporary response.

In short, Wansheng's next job is to adjust the team's formation so that the stars have more room to play.

This job is quite complicated.

It sounds like you just need to adjust the formation, but tactics are a complicated thing. The movement of the players, temporary changes and responses, the overall grasp of the game, etc. All these need to be carefully considered, and how to adjust the specific Effective, but not easy to come up with.

Fortunately, this time is the national team game day, the team has ten days to rest, and only Van der Vaart and Karachi are the national team players in Derby County. He is the second goalkeeper in Australia, and it doesn’t matter if he goes to the national team or not, so Derby County has undergone cosmetic surgery during this time, and Wansheng has begun to let the team experiment with one formation after another.

In fact, Wansheng still has some ideas.

Stars do not just refer to fame, but refer to players with relatively good personal abilities. Derby County has only those players with strong offensive ability in the frontcourt-Van der Vaart, Morris, Ribery, Kluivert As well as Ivan Crewe, these five players are all very strong offensively, players who basically do not have much weakness, but are like Bolton Wright. The ability is also good, but his height limits his technical improvement, and Ian Taylor is too old, and various abilities decline rapidly. Osman and Ferdinand are too defensive. So really want to talk about there may be outstanding performance in the offense. There are only five players on the team.

Among the five players, Van der Vaart, Maurice and Ribery are more capable.

Van der Vaart's strengths are reflected in his passing, shooting and personal dribbling ability. For these three abilities, his evaluation values ​​are gorgeous and messy; Ribery is very fast, and his dribbling and passing abilities are also very good. Shooting is a little worse in comparison; Morris is an all-around player, and almost all of his comprehensive attributes exceed 80. Although 80 is not very high. But think about the ability of football to reach an excellent level, such a team is very rare, of course, Morris can have the current strength, and anything in the football training master system is inseparable, his ability Coupled with the addition of several coaching skills, Morris can play no worse than Van der Vaart in the game, but in defense. He is also much better than Van der Vaart.

In contrast, Ivan - Crewe is close. He is lower than Morris in every ability, but his set-piece ability has reached 95, and with all-round ability, he can also perform quite well in the game.

Another player is Kluivert, who was signed for free in the summer.

Kluivert is a player who gives Wansheng a headache. The Dutch star is actually only 28 years old, but his body has been seriously spoiled, which has led to some deviations in his physical fitness and confrontation ability. Yvette’s technical ability is very good, and he can even compete with Van der Vaart. So far, Wansheng has not played Kluivert before. He is considering letting Kluivert exercise for a period of time, and then look for opportunities to substitute. As long as he is in shape, Wansheng still looks forward to Kluivert's performance, but everything depends on his mental state. Under the condition of ability and good mental state, Kluivert should still have a good performance. He signed Kluivert at that time, and he also wanted him to be a qualified substitute in the frontcourt, and also to increase the depth of the bench. After all, the team faces a lot of games in the season, and the depth of the bench is naturally very important.

All five players can look forward to it, but it is not easy to adjust the lineup in a targeted manner.

After a few days of tactical drills, Wansheng still found a suitable formation - 4321, which is much better than the previous 442. For example, Van der Vaart and Morris are in a balanced position, which is better than the previous two. The performance of the front and back is much better, and the players on the wing retreat a little, which can also give them more room to play. The only problem is defense.

4321, there is no diamond-shaped position in the midfield. It seems that the formation has retreated a bit, but in fact, the pressure of defense has become heavier, especially the midfielder position in the middle of '3', which has become the entire team. The front and backcourts are very important connection points. Players in this position have to shoulder the burden of defense and offense-defense transition. They may not need to be very capable, but they must be comprehensive, have very good defensive ability, and have a very good mentality.

This requirement is a bit high.

Morris is a good choice, but Wansheng prefers to put Morris's position higher, and Morris's defensive ability is not too outstanding, Wansheng focuses on other players-- Peter Kennedy, Ottoman, Ferdinand.

If they change their formations, the three of them will have to face competition for a position. Of course, Ferdinand and Osman can play at the center back, and they are also good at defending on the wing, but their best position is the midfielder, and this position It is the core point of all right, Wan Sheng naturally cannot make a decision easily, he still decided to let the three try it out in the official competition.

It is dangerous to experiment with tactics in the official game, but it is only the beginning of the season, and Derby County is still losing. Wansheng always believes that as the season progresses, the performance of the whole team will get better and better, and the results will naturally improve. come better.

......

On September 10, Derby County host Tottenham Hotspur.

After the two wins against Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur fans almost regarded Wan Sheng as their best friend, so before the game, the atmosphere between the two sides was very harmonious, although many media talked about Derby County in the FA Cup last season. Eliminated Tottenham Hotspur, but there was no hostility among Tottenham fans, especially Derby County fans. They are the winning side, and naturally they will not be hostile to Tottenham.

The atmosphere on both sides is still very harmonious.

Tottenham have built up in the summer, and although they have sold striker Postiga, they have added Simon Davies, Mendes, Davenport and more and brought in £7m The heavyweight star Naibette and England's backup goalkeeper Robinson. Overall. Tottenham Hotspur's strength has increased a lot.

The media's expectations for Tottenham Hotspur are still very high. Considering that Tottenham Hotspur itself has a terrible striker and attacking power, once the new coach Santini can adjust the team's back defense, then Tottenham Hotspur will re-emerge. The prosperity of the era of Gascoigne and Lineker is not out of reach.

Tottenham Hotspur performed well in the first three rounds. They also had one win and two draws, but their goal difference ranked behind Derby County, and their opponents also had strong teams like Liverpool. So their results are no worse than Derby County.

In short, this is a serious opponent to deal with.

However, Wansheng still chose to experiment with new formations in the game.

Training for the new formation is only one week away. The team is not very proficient yet, but with the 'OS-Fast' tactical thinking, the formation is actually just a performance situation. What he worries most about is defense rather than offense. He wants to see how the team will use a new formation against Tottenham. What will be the performance.

When the game was over, Wan Sheng still laughed.

The final score was 4:3, with Derby County scoring one more goal. Victory over visiting Tottenham Hotspur at the Pride Stadium.

However, the defensive problems exposed by the game are also very prominent, as it turns out. Layton Osman can't complete the core task very well. Maybe his physical fitness is very good and his defensive ability is also very good, but his 'intelligence' is worrying, that is, his mental attributes are not high and his consciousness is very general, so it is difficult for him to be the core. Therefore, Wansheng directly dropped Osman PASS. Maybe he can play well in other positions, but when the team uses the 4321 formation to play, unless there is no choice, he will definitely have a hard time starting the game.

Playing with the new formation, getting a win, and proving something, overall, the game was a big one.

However, the idea of ​​the media is obviously completely different from that of Wansheng. Although Derby County won the game, many media criticized Derby County after the game, saying that the criticism is not right, it should be said that it is analysis, they think Derby County Too much emphasis on offense, there is a big problem in defense, the victory in this game is very lucky, and against Tottenham Hotspur, 4:3, only scored one more goal, which shows the defensive problem of Derby County Seriously, it's a far cry from what they did against Arsenal.

"...but that's normal too."

The "Daily Mirror" analyzed, "As the league enters September, Derby County participates in more games, and many teams already have a considerable understanding of Derby County, so their performance has naturally deteriorated a lot."

"We can imagine that in October, Derby County's performance will definitely be worse, maybe they will have to consider the issue of relegation, then, will the Chinese have the courage to say 'the goal is to win Champions League places' big talk!?"

"Daily Mirror", as a hostile media in Derby County known to all England, said that these are naturally normal, and Wansheng would not read their reports at all. Not optimistic about the sound of Derby County.

The Guardian put it this way, "Derby County have been passing more balls and playing better offense than last season, but this game proved that Derby County's defense has also grown with the attack. some problems."

"...Maybe the manager Wan Sheng should make the team play more conservatively, like they did in the second half of the league game against Arsenal, and it would be more secure to deal with the opponents in the league with defensive counter-attacks."

Wan Sheng read the analysis of these reports and shook his head with a smile.

He naturally knows that some aspects of what the media say is correct. Think about Jose Mourinho's Chelsea now, which is actually a conservative tactic of '1:0', but they are Chelsea, and the team is full of big-name stars. Even if they play very conservatively, they can still score goals in the game, and the defensive pressure is not too great. Derby County is simply incomparable in this regard.

The team doesn't have that many stars, and the defense isn't that strong.

If you blindly strengthen the defense, while the defense is stable, the offense will definitely be difficult to play, so if you want to win more games, you must work hard on the offense, otherwise it will be tantamount to exploiting weaknesses and avoiding strengths. Good results are not easy, what's more, his goal is not to avoid relegation, but to win the Champions League spot, at least the top four in the league, so as to complete the task of the league.

If too many games have been drawn, it will be very difficult to complete the mission, let alone the three champions of the honorary mission.

Therefore, Wansheng simply disdains any media analysis.

Although stability is good, victory is more important. He would rather take some risks to win more games. What's more, with the football training master system, Wansheng has the confidence to make it even in a few months during the season. Every player in the team improves a little bit, so that the team's performance will get better and better, and he doesn't have to worry about too many problems at all.

After the game against Tottenham Hotspur, the team did not have any rest time, and resumed normal training the next day in preparation for a new event - the UEFA Cup qualifying round.

Derby County were the FA Cup champions last season and are eligible to participate in the UEFA Cup according to English football rules. They have to start from the qualifying stage. The first game will be on September 14. Their opponent is Phelan from Hungary. kvaros.

Ferenkovaros is a strong team in Hungary. They were the champions of the Ferenquevaros Serie A last season, so they are eligible to participate in the UEFA Cup competition. This is also their first time participating in European competitions after five years. For them, this competition is also very important.

In the entire Hungarian First Division, the only team that can participate in European competitions is Ferenkovaros, so they can be said to carry the expectations of all Hungarian fans.

Although Wansheng does not think that Ferenque Varos can pose any threat to Derby County, this opponent must be treated with caution. After all, it is a two-round qualifying match, and the first round is best at the Pride Stadium. It is still possible to win by a large score, so as to ensure the possibility of qualifying.
