Chapter 22 Can This Little Guy Do It?
Derby County came to Ferenc Valros with the idea of 'as many goals as possible'.
This game must be won, and Wansheng has no idea of experimenting with new formations. In order to eliminate opponents as much as possible, it is more important to play better than to experiment with new formations, so Derby County's formation is still 442, Morris, Li Berry, Van der Vaart, Ivan Crewe and other main players also all started.
Derby County used such a solemn attitude to deal with a Hungarian team, and the result of the game can be expected.
Ferenkovaros is a strong team in the Hungarian First Division, but they are only a Hungarian team after all, and even the hostile media of Derby County must admit that Derby County is definitely above the middle level even in the Premier League. So there is almost no suspense between the two teams.
3:0, this is the final score.
Derby County performed quite strongly at the Pride Stadium. From the first minute of the game, they took control of the game, and then a total of three goals in the first and second half left Ferenque Varos completely unable to fight back. At the end of the game Time, the performance of Ferenque Valros players is like sleepwalking.
Anyone can see that this is a game of great disparity.
In fact, Ferenque Varos did not expect the game to become like this. They basically know nothing about Derby County. What they know is that Derby County qualified for the UEFA Cup by virtue of the FA Cup championship. , Derby County was still an English second-level league team last season, and this season is a newly-promoted Premier League team, so before the game, they still believed that the team had a chance to win away. Unfortunately, there is often a gap between imagination and reality. The gap between the two became even wider as the Ferenquevalos players got lost in Derby County's full-court press.
So Derby County easily got 3:0.
But in fact, Wan Sheng was still somewhat dissatisfied with this result. 3:0 does not guarantee absolute victory. If one more goal can be scored, there will be no suspense in the second round, and the score of 3:0 still gives Ferenque Varos a glimmer of hope.
If only head coach Ferenque Valros knew what Wansheng was thinking. Will definitely vomit blood depressed. But there is such a gap between the two teams.
After the game, Derby County did not celebrate at all, like it was just a warm-up match, and soon after they ushered in the fifth round of the league, Derby County played away to Everton.
Against David Moyes' team, Wan Sheng once again used a new formation, the only change from the previous league game. The starting core in the backcourt became Peter Kennedy.
after the game starts. Seeing Derby County's starting lineup, many Derby County fans thought of previous media reports. They believed that Derby County's defense had problems, and they were worried that Everton would score, especially in an away game.
But this game played smoothly.
Maybe because they sold Wayne Rooney, their best young talent of the decade, just before the transfer window closed in early September, or because they just went through North London Derby County. 1:4 big score loss to Arsenal, in short, Everton was completely lost in the game. Their overall performance was extremely poor, even if the head coach David Moyes made two adjustments in a row in the game. As a result, Derby County took the opportunity to score three goals. If not at the end of the game, striker Kevin Campbell used the opportunity to counterattack. Breaking through Vidic's defense with personal ability, facing the goalkeeper Karachi scored the ball, Tottenham Hotspur could not keep even a trace of face at their own home.
1:3.
After home and away, Derby County easily won the game.
In the game, Wansheng was quite satisfied with Peter Kennedy's defensive performance. He considered Peter Kennedy as the core of offense and defense, but it was too early to draw such a conclusion. After all, Everton's performance in this game was really bad. Peter - Kennedy doesn't need to face too much pressure, so it's not surprising that the team's defense is solid. To prove the correctness of the conclusion, more games are needed.
After the game, the media who had voiced concerns about Derby's defence were silenced.
When Derby are doing very well, it doesn't help them to make more noise, because the result is in front of them, it is impossible for Derby County to win 3-1 away and they also say that Derby County has all kinds of problems, so that It is difficult for fans and readers to believe the statement.
......
Soon, on September 25, the Premier League ushered in the sixth round, Derby County host Fulham.
Fulham had a strong momentum last season. They got rid of the image of a relegation underdog and finally won the ninth place. However, it turned out that their 'rich chairman' Fayed completely regarded Fulham as a tool for making money. In the summer, the 'farmer' did not have any strength to strengthen, but sold key players such as Simon Davis, their Naturally, the strength has declined, and the results have also declined. Fulham's results in the first five rounds are not worth mentioning. The results of 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses can only be compared with newly-promoted Novich and Crystal Palace. They have already Wandering around the edge of the relegation circle, it seems that from now on, they are going to fight for relegation.
Such a team, few people think that they can pose a threat to Derby County at the Pride Stadium. Derby County is also a newly-promoted team, but their performance may be much better than Norwich and Crystal Palace. The results of two wins and two draws can even be compared with Manchester United.
But the result of the game was unexpected. Fulham drew with Derby County 3:3 at the Pride Stadium!
Derby County played very hard in this game.
Fulham established a score advantage in the first half. They scored two goals in a row, which made the entire Derby County team a little lost. The defensive problems in the backcourt were highlighted to the greatest extent. As a result, after the half-time break, Wansheng was almost Peter Kennedy was replaced immediately because he was 100% sure, and that was the problem with Peter Kennedy.
Peter Kennedy has insufficient personal ability as a core, and his state is also very unstable. On two occasions, he was even directly broken by Fulham players in front of the penalty area!
What is the reason for this, Wan Sheng knows without thinking about it - not because of Peter Kennedy's defensive ability, but because he can't bear the inner pressure of being the core.
His shoulders can't bear the burden!
The last game against Everton was better. Peter Kennedy didn’t have much defensive pressure, so he could easily cope with it, but this Fulham attack was aimed at the middle, so Peter Kennedy couldn’t hold on anymore. The more he wants his performance to be stable, the greater the psychological pressure, and the more mistakes he makes in the game.
In this situation, Wansheng has nothing to do.
But he has been very sure that Peter Kennedy is not the kind of player who can take on heavy responsibilities, and maybe his strength is not bad, but his psychological quality is too bad, so he must not be used as a core.
What troubles Wan Sheng is more than that. Ferdinand, who came off the bench in the second half, also performed poorly. He also has similar problems. At the same time, Ferdinand's personal ability is also a lot worse.
Ferdinand can be said to be a veteran player under Wan Sheng. After Wan Sheng came to Derby County, he soon became a player who trained with Wan Sheng. , In the past two years, Ferdinand's personal ability has improved a lot, but the most important thing is that his original strength is too poor. In Gregory's Derby County, Ferdinand can only be used as a substitute, let alone It is now Derby County. Even if he has been with Wansheng for two years, the limitations of talent and age have led to limited growth of Ferdinand. Now he can only be a qualified substitute in the backcourt.
Wansheng still feels a little pity. After all, Ferdinand is an old player who follows him, and his respect for him has exceeded 100 early, and now it has even reached 122. This respect can be said that if Wansheng leaves For the team, as long as he beckons, Ferdinand will follow him away without hesitation.
But his strength...
Wansheng is not worried about Ferdinand's problem. After testing the new formation in the official game, he found that neither Osman, Ferdinand or Peter Kennedy could be used as the core. In this way, he wanted to use 4321 Formation, to increase the team's offensive ability, it is necessary to choose other players as the core.
Is it only possible to let Morris retreat?
Morris can definitely do better when he retreats as the core, but Morris can play better in the frontcourt. If Morris retreats as the core of offense and defense, then the team's offense will definitely be worse.
So who is more suitable?
Wan Sheng rested his chin with one hand, staring at the ongoing internal competition on the training ground, observing the performance of each player.
Ribery, Maurice, Ivan Crewe...
After counting the players one by one, Wansheng is still uncertain, mainly because it is a pity for some players to retreat as the core of offense and defense, and some players are completely unable to undertake the heavy responsibility.
At this moment, Ribery, who was on the offensive side of the field, dribbled the ball past Lichtsteiner and Ferdinand in a row, cut inwards to the middle, took a few steps to shoot, and suddenly a figure came over. , using his body to block the front of the football, Ribery's shot was directly blocked from the sideline.
Ribery turned his head and glanced at the ball that flew out of bounds, and complained to Alfred who blocked the ball, "Baker, this is just a training match, don't you need to be so serious!?"
Alfred smiled and touched his cheek embarrassedly.
On the other hand, Wan Sheng, who was sitting on the grass, stared at Alfred and suddenly his eyes lit up. He only considered the withdrawal of the players in the frontcourt, but did not think about the position of the players in the backcourt. Baker Alfred, isn't he? Is it a suitable one?
Even if Marcus is injured, many other players, such as Osman, Peter Kennedy, Ferdinand, Rousey, etc., can also play as a central defender, but not everyone can play at the core of offense and defense. If Alfred The premise of Germany's position is to become the core of the team's offense and defense. Isn't the problem solved?
The key question is... this little guy, can it work? (To be continued ~^~)
