Chapter 53: Incomprehensible
“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!”
"Goal scored!!!"
"Derby County equalised! It was No. 18 full-back Leighton Bynes who scored!! This is his fourth goal this season, as a full-back, he can play in the thirteenth round. Scored four goals in the league, not even less efficient than some frontcourt players, he's really amazing!"
"Bynes is just under 22, and when he came to the Pride Stadium last year, nobody noticed him because when he was at Wigan Athletic, he wasn't famous at all, just a young player who had just been promoted to the first team. That's it, but Wan Sheng took him to Derby County, look at it now! He broke Chelsea's goal! Chelsea are known to be the most solid defense in England, but their goal was pierced by a full-back!"
"It was an extremely precise long shot!"
Pride Stadium commentator Alfie growled.
In his roar, the entire Pride Stadium also boiled, and Derby County fans rushed to express their excitement in the audience with roars. Every fan was cheering and celebrating. The first outbreak.
From the beginning of the game, Derby County has been passive, and then the team was blown away by a penalty, and then Chelsea took the lead again. This season, at their own home, for the first time, they have felt so suffocated. The second half of the game played It was not as smooth as imagined, but now it finally did not let them down. Derby County equalized and they saw hope of winning.
You know, their opponent is Chelsea!
Even if a penalty was blown out in the first half, Derby County fans could still feel the strength of Chelsea, and when they played against other teams, they didn't care about a penalty at all - because they believed the team could score. More balls, but Chelsea is different. A penalty kick can almost decide the outcome. The main reason is that the opponent is too strong. Derby County has to passively defend at home. Those fans who have studied football can naturally see this. There is a reason why Derby County chose to strengthen its defense. of. But now the team has finally scored. With this goal, the two teams are back on the same starting line.
Win and have a chance!
This goal also gave Wan Sheng a lot of peace of mind.
When the goal was scored, he rushed out of the bench with other assistant coaches and substitute players to cheer and celebrate. His heart was excited because he knew that this goal had been achieved. The team can go to win.
and. Great opportunity!
This is not just a goal, just like the penalty kick that was blown in the first half, which caused the team's morale to plummet, this goal can boost the team's morale.
When many players are in the game, the situation that they have been lagging behind makes them hopeless, and it is difficult to achieve results when attacking. Although he has arranged a series of tactics, the players also have doubts about the tactics in their hearts - just play like this. Can we beat Chelsea?
This doubt affects their play.
But now there are goals. Doubt is gone, they will believe the team can win. So they can play better!
Wansheng believes that this goal is just the beginning.
by no means the end!
This goal also had a great impact on Chelsea. They thought they scored a goal, and they could win the game according to Mourinho's tactics, but Derby County tied the score. This was a ruthless blow-- Their confidence in the team's victory would be shaken, and they were directly beaten by Derby County.
At this moment, even the Blues fans who were arrogant at the Pride Stadium were silent.
Wan Sheng raised his arms high and let out a long roar.
Diamares stepped forward and hugged him, and others came to embrace and celebrate. Everyone saw the hope of victory from this goal.
Yes, a victory, not just a tie!
The game is to win, and there is no hellish thought in their hearts that "keeping a draw is a victory". To play is to win, especially here is the Pride Stadium, but there is no such thing as a draw. Derby County and Chelsea are the second and second in the league. In the league's first game, neither side will be satisfied with the draw, it will only make Manchester United and Arsenal cheaper.
......
While Derby County cheered, Chelsea coach Mourinho, who was sitting on the other side of the bench, looked gloomy and was about to drip.
He did not expect Derby County to perform so well.
However, as a head coach, he can see more in this attack. At least the goal is not just an accidental long-range shot by Derby County. More credit should be placed on Van der Vaart, who had previously completed the breakthrough with the ball. Mourinho is also very concerned about this Dutch player. He told his players to pay attention to Van der Vaart. Such an exhortation is already very important to Chelsea.
Check out their back line-up - Makelele, Lampard, Carvalho!
This is the world's top defensive lineup, and the individual abilities are quite strong. The average star is not worth mentioning if you want to compare them. Van der Vaart was 'specially pointed out' by Mourinho, which is also an honor, but Even so, it can be seen that Chelsea's defense was played by Van der Vaart.
The most important reason is to put Ferreira on him.
The defense of Ferreira made a mistake that time. He was deceived by Van der Vaart's gorgeous foot skills, but he failed to stop it immediately. Naturally, it is impossible to talk about Makelele's closing and blocking. Mourinho is also very concerned about this. Helpless, Ferreira is his favorite general. He believes in Ferreira's ability, but Ferreira doesn't seem to adapt to the fierce collision of the Premier League in a short period of time. Many times he has to use technique to defend, but the defense of Premier League football, What is needed more is the body.
In addition, Mourinho also saw Derby County's exquisite cooperation.
Van der Vaart, Morris, and then Leighton Baines, who scored goals, even if Chelsea plays this kind of attack, there will only be two results, either Van der Vaart rushes into the penalty area to find opportunities, or Morris dribbles the ball. Entering the penalty area, or kicking and shooting directly, there would be nothing to do with Leighton Baines, but Derby County's smooth attack handed the ball to Baines who came in behind. This is what Chelsea's defense didn't respond to. , Maurice's action completely fooled the entire Chelsea defense, which is why Leighton Bynes easily put the ball in the goal, of course. His shooting is also very exciting, and it is difficult for ordinary players to shoot such a powerful and accurate outside shot in the game.
Throughout the scoring process, only three Derby County players participated - Van der Vaart, Morris and Baines.
Van der Vaart showed his superb foot skills, and Morris showed his game experience at the same time. He also showed his selflessness. Leighton Bynes, who came in later, seized the opportunity and showed his shooting skills, sending the ball into the goal guarded by Cudicini.
That's the summary of the goals.
Mourinho saw this, and he could only sigh, "There are so many talents in Derby County..."
One offense, three players, 21-and-a-half-year-old Van der Vaart, and Leighton Baines, the same age. By comparison. The 26-year-old Morris seems to be a little too old, but this attack, he completed the perfect connection, it can be said that all three are very good, but only Van der Vaart is famous, Morris and Baines. The name is just a little higher than the 'Passerby A' player.
Ask a fan who knows Derby County and they will know the names of the three. It is impossible to know Morris and Baines without knowing the fans of Derby County. They will only know Van der Vaart, because Van der Vaart is the player who scores more goals, and the players who score more are the fans' attention.
Perhaps more importantly, Morris and Bynes are not England national team players, nor have they won any personal honors, and their fame is the occasional media mention of the Derby County game coverage. There is no need to talk about it. The performance of famous players far surpassed their fame. Mourinho was still very surprised. Before he heard a lot of media say that Derby County's 'geniuses get together' or something, he was a little dismissive, but now he finds that it is true Seeing is believing, at least this Leighton Baines is very good, and Morris is comprehensive and stable enough to shoulder heavy responsibilities in midfield.
Van der Vaart? That's a real genius!
......
In less than 20 minutes of the second half, Derby County equalized the score, which means that there may be a turning point in the next game, but the situation has already tilted towards Derby County.
Even if it ends with this score, everyone must give Derby County a thumbs up.
This was not just a 1:1 game, Derby County was also blown away by a penalty kick. After the game, the media supporting Derby County could completely say that 'Chelsea relied on the help of the referee to barely draw Derby County', which made Derby County are on the right side.
But Derby were certainly not content with a draw, and Leighton Bynes' goal boosted the team's morale, and when the game resumed, they were more active on the field.
Seeing that the score was rewritten to 1:1, Derby County's performance on the field is getting better and better. Those who support Chelsea or Derby County's hostile media reporters are not very good, and those who support Derby County hope that Derby County will win. The media reporters cheered, Derby County could equalize the score so quickly, and in the next time, we can fully expect Derby County to achieve a go-ahead!
Many people are looking forward to the next game, and their eyes towards Wansheng are also full of hope.
Even though the game was played at the Pride Stadium, and a large group of media hoped that Derby County could beat Chelsea, in fact, in their hearts, not many people thought that Derby County had a chance, after all, it was Chelsea, although the two teams ranked in the league. 1st, 2nd, but Derby County are nothing more than 'dark horses', their squad is shabby compared to Chelsea's gorgeous squad.
But now Derby County has done it.
In a passive situation after being blown away by a penalty and falling behind, Derby County equalized the score, so is it going to take the lead next?
Is this young Chinese really going to beat Chelsea?
Although the game has not yet ended and the result has not yet been determined, many media reporters who did not know Wansheng before, or who had little contact with Derby County, have rated Wansheng as "very capable".
And on the field, Derby County is proving it too.
The match between them and Chelsea was not at a disadvantage at all. The two teams attacked and defended equally. The game changed from a dull start to a wonderful one now.
......
Mourinho still made a small adjustment. He replaced Ferreira with Gallas. One of the adjustments was because of Ferreira’s mistakes. In fact, there are already many media about Ferreira. There are voices of doubt, because Ferreira has always performed very flat, and his performance is completely inferior to other backcourt players, even some substitutes, but Ferreira has been playing a lot, and the media understands this as Mourinho's right Taking care of his own direct line of players', Mourinho is also under some pressure. He doesn't care what the media say on the surface, but who really doesn't care what others say?
What's more, the media's claims are well-founded.
Ferreira is really bad!
The loss just now has something to do with Ferreira. If the game ends like this, it can be considered that Ferreira made Chelsea lose 2 points. One of his mistakes ruined the team's efforts. Austria can only replace Ferreira.
In addition, making this substitution has other meanings. Mourinho is to bring confidence to the players on the field. When he replaced Ferreira, he said that he has not given up the game and let the players on the field continue to work hard to win. .
Once the game resumed, Chelsea were more serious from above and below.
This is most evident in the players in the frontcourt, especially Robben in front. He ran back and forth without hesitation, and many times he directly hit the bottom line to find opportunities.
When Chelsea was a little passive, Robben was trying to help the team regain control of the game in his own way.
At this point, Mourinho was thinking about Derby County's attack.
He saw a difference.
In the 20 minutes of the second half, he could already see something, especially in these 20 minutes, Derby County scored only a handful of times in the team's penalty area. , No one will believe that although the opponent has not put a lot of energy into the attack, it can be seen that the opponent's frontcourt players are very strong and in very good condition. They could have sent the ball directly into the box, but they didn't. It seemed to keep the formation and not give Chelsea a chance to counterattack. They would rather take a long shot from the outside than easily send the ball into the box.
Of course, there are times when football hits the box, but it's only occasionally... 20 minutes, only once.
This is not normal.
The most obvious statistic is that in 20 minutes, Derby County had 7 shots, 6 of which were long shots, two threatened the goal, and scored a goal. The proportion of long shots in the goal is really. A little too much.
Mourinho doesn't quite understand why. Could it be that the other side just needs to rely on long-range shots to break the goal... This is a bit of a fantasy, isn't it?
In his view, this is incomprehensible.
Chelsea have Lampard, Makelele, Robben, and Good Johnson. These players have very good long-range shooting ability. Even so, it is difficult for Mourinho to imagine that he will let the team go far. Shooting is the main focus, can the opponent's long-range shooting ability be stronger than Chelsea?
He shook his head.
Although he didn't quite believe his own judgment, Mourinho still called the captain of the field, Makelele, and told him to strengthen the defense in front of the penalty area and not let the opponent easily kick his feet.
Always take precautions! (To be continued ~^~)
