Chapter 39 Stuck

At the weekend, the twelfth round of the league started, and Derby County's opponent was Southampton. This is a team already in the relegation circle, and its results are only slightly better than Crystal Palace and Norwich.

Although it is an away game, Wansheng still intends to let some players rest for a round. After all, Derby County is a bit dense. He needs to use a certain degree of rotation to ensure the team's state. Southampton's strength state , Even if it is at home, it is difficult to threaten the current Derby County.

In this game, players such as Maurice, Van der Vaart and Ribery were not brought in by Wansheng, so the lineup became a semi-substitute lineup, Lichtsteiner, Peter Kennedy and just recovered from injury. The returning captain Marcus started one after another, the striker was replaced by Ian Taylor, who rarely played, and Wansheng only brought Bolton Wright as a striker.

Wansheng's judgment is still very accurate.

Although in the summer, Southampton coach Trock claimed that the team's goal was to enter the European battlefield, but the financial embarrassment made Southampton's strength decline a lot compared to last season, and now they have entered the relegation of the league. In the circle, with the defeat of each game, all have no fighting spirit, and even their fans do not have much confidence in the team. Under such circumstances, facing the strong Derby County, the result is naturally conceivable.

Relying on goals from Ivan Taylor, Leighton Baines and Rousey, Derby County easily won the game 3-0.

Southampton is not a strong team. With the current results of Derby County, it is not surprising to win Southampton. So far, Derby County is still unbeaten!

Derby County are not top of the league, but they are the only team to remain unbeaten. In the twelve rounds of the league, they have not lost a game. Even the most critical media must admit that Derby County's results so far are really gorgeous. anyway. This is undefeated in twelve rounds!

Many media sighed, "Who can stop Derby County's undefeated!"

Their eyes are focused on the next round of the league, where Derby's opponent is Middlesbrough.

McLaren's team is definitely not easy to deal with. The media also expects that McLaren can defeat Wansheng. The English media naturally hopes that Middlesbrough will win, because McLaren is English, and Wansheng is Chinese. It's not hard to choose between the two. They hope McLaren can lead Middlesbrough to beat Derby County and break Derby's unbeaten trophy.

...

At the same time, Wansheng did not focus on the league, because the UEFA Cup group stage was still very intensive.

After the league is over, prepare for the UEFA Cup group stage.

Their opponent is Schalke 04.

Against a strong German team, the game is still not easy, especially the Derby County team has few players with European experience. They know very little about the German team, even Wansheng knows about the German team. It only exists in 'theory'. He knows the characteristics of the German team, the stars of Schalke 04, and a lot of things about them, but these are theories. Too sure, but he believes that as long as the team can play normally, there must be a great chance to win.

He is still very confident in the current strength of Derby County.

However, Wansheng is still a bit of a headache. Before this game, Alfred suffered a little injury during training and needed a round of truce. Alfred is very important to the current new formation. Where is the team? All players can be replaced, but Alfred cannot be replaced. His core position is the guarantee of this 4321 formation. Without Alfred, he can only pull Morris, But that's not as good as going back to the original formation.

So Wansheng can only let the team play the original 442 instead.

In the 442 formation, Osman can also start the game. The two full-backs are still Ribery and Ivan Crewe, and the core is Maurice. Van der Vaart's position is a bit premise, and he and Bolton Reit partner to form a double forward. It's one of Derby County's most powerful squads.

Before the game, many media hyped this game, because this is the most concerned game in the UEFA Cup Group A. Now many media have already believed that Schalke 04 and Derby County are the strong teams in Group A, as the Dutch giants Feyer Nord has been left out.

The German media is naturally saying good things about Schalke 04, and they don't think Derby County, which has almost no European experience, can really achieve any good results.

However, there are still a lot of ways for the German media to hype. They came up with the killer 'Bayern Munich'. Before the game, they reported a lot of 'two or three things between Bayern Munich and Ribery', which is like Ribé tomorrow. Like a member of Bayern Munich.

German media is trying to influence the state of Derby County.

Wansheng doesn't care about the media reports. For him, he has experienced more influence reports. He doesn't care about the German media. The main thing is to arrange the team to prepare for the game.

Compared with Alfred's 4321, the 442 formation is definitely worse in terms of offense, but the diamond-shaped midfield position and Osman block in front of the penalty area will make the defense more stable. Especially at home, as long as you play normally, your strength is enough.

But the game was a little different than he imagined.

At the beginning of the game, Schalke 04 played a subtle cooperation, scored a goal quickly, and took the lead in the score in advance. This goal put some pressure on Derby County.

Soon Derby County pressed on and went head-to-head with Schalke 04.

However, Schalke 04's defense is very solid. It is not easy for Derby County to find opportunities for a while. More importantly, Wansheng found a problem, that is, Ribery's performance is a bit too 'independent', which led to the team Offense is not very smooth.

Whenever the football gets to Ribery's feet, the offense gets stuck.

...

Ribery played the same way last game.

With the performance of two goals, he was praised by all England, even some French media, in addition, the national team coach Domenech also praised his performance, obviously Domenech saw that game, and Very impressed with myself.

After watching the media coverage of him after the game, Ribery felt that success was at hand.

So this time, he continued to play the game like this.

Ribery didn't care about the smoothness of the team's offense. He just relied on his confidence in the technique under his feet and continued to do his best. He worked hard and didn't care if he made one or two mistakes. In his opinion, the offense will always be If there are failures, otherwise scoring goals in football games will not be so difficult. It doesn’t matter how many times you fail, as long as you can help the team find a good opportunity next, or even score a goal to help the team equalize the score, there will be many mistakes. Covered up, on the contrary, he can still get unanimous affirmation.

That's what Ribery had in mind.

What he didn't know was that Wan Sheng had already frowned on the coach's bench.

In the last UEFA Cup, the team won easily. Ribery's performance is like this, Wansheng still doesn't care, but the premise is that the game is won. If the same performance affects the victory of the game, he must care. Now the ball The team's offense, whenever Ribery's feet came, was like a sudden pause in the smooth music, which made people feel awkward.

Once, twice, let alone Wansheng, even Derby County players felt it, so they obviously reduced the number of passes to the left.

But the key is in Derby County's 442 formation. Although Ribery is a full-back, he is one of the core of the midfield attack. His role is still very crucial. Unless he always attacks from Ivan Crewe, otherwise Many offenses cannot miss Ribery at all.

The biggest problem for Derby County now is Ribery. Ribery doesn't seem to notice and still insists on his performance, which reminds Wansheng of the game in League One.

In the League One, Wansheng let Ribery play freely. As a result, in every game, Ribery can attract attention, so now Ribery is acting like this, and he can't be blamed entirely. There are also teams playing There are some problems such as law and habits, but after arriving in the Premier League, Wansheng asked Ribery to integrate into the team's tactical system. After all, the Premier League and League One are not the same grade. Whether it is a European competition or a domestic league, there are many balls encountered. The strength of the team is not worse than that of Derby County, and many of the opposing stars will be quite strong in defense. If Ribery 'plays freely', it will be difficult to 'play' out.

Just like now, Schalke 04's defense is very solid. When Ribery makes a personal breakthrough, it is easy to fall into the siege of two people. It can't be said that he loses the ball every time. Opportunity wasted.

Ribery didn't feel anything. He was still showing his superb footwork. He seemed to want to tell the audience how good his footwork was. Schalke 04's defenders could only be played around by him. That said, from an appreciation point of view, Ribery did a good job, but he wasted the team's time and opportunities.

This is a football match, not a circus. Victory is determined by the score, not by attracting the attention of the audience!

Obviously you can pass the ball directly, but you have to show your footwork. In the end, you can't do anything before you pass the ball, or you just lose the ball. This kind of performance is a 'negative' for the team's offense, and it also makes the team unable to play at all. The soul that comes out to attack - speed.

After the other players ran to the frontcourt, they obviously had a chance to play football but didn't pass it, and the opportunity was wasted.

Wan Sheng frowned as he watched from the sidelines.

He didn't pay attention to the media reports before, but now he knows that the reports must have affected Ribery's mentality, otherwise he wouldn't play like this for no reason.

Ribery definitely wants to perform better in the game, this is certain, but his mind seems to be in the wrong place. Does he think that as long as he can attract attention, he can quickly become a big star, or directly enter France National team? (To be continued ~^~)
