Chapter 56 Champions
When Wansheng replaced Kluivert, Chelsea always had the upper hand. They used offense to suppress Derby County. At this time, everyone felt that Kluivert would not be of any use. The ball is even more fantastic. It would be nice if they could defend the goal, but who would have thought that Derby County only made a steady advance and sent the ball into the Chelsea goal?
Many were surprised to see Kluivert put the ball into the Chelsea goal.
The Pride Stadium burst into violent cheers instantly, and the commentators who supported either side were loudly announcing the goal--
"Goal scored! Derby lead Chelsea 2-1!"
"Goal!! Kluivert helps Derby County overtake the score!"
"Kluivert played less than five minutes and helped Derby County overtake the score. This was the goal that decided the game!"
"It was a fill-up! Cudicini made a world-class save, but he couldn't make two in a row..."
"..."
With the words of the various commentators, everyone was surprised by the goal. You must know that Kluivert only played for less than five minutes. Before the substitution was adjusted, Kluivert only touched the ball twice. , the third touch the ball directly into the goal.
This is really...
This replacement adjustment is really beautiful!
Everyone can only be amazed at Wansheng's substitution. On the field, every substitution decision made by the head coach is a game. Even the head coach who made the substitution decision cannot guarantee that every substitution is made. Everyone is right, especially at a critical moment like the last stage of the game, replacing a striker is equivalent to fighting for victory, and the current goal proves that Wansheng has made the right decision.
This proves Wansheng's ability to direct the game on the spot.
Derby County players and coaches also cheered as the football flew towards the goal. Accompanied by the shouts of the fans, their shouts are also clear on the pitch, because this moment belongs to them now.
Kluivert has embraced his teammates.
The first he hugged was Ivan Crewe, maybe he was thinking, because Crewe didn't score. Caused him the opportunity to score the ball. He should be thankful for Ivan Crew's 'no goal', and in this respect, he should thank Cudicini for his miraculous saves, but Kluivert is still a little sensible, if he and Cudi for this reason Chiney hugged, and it was estimated that the latter would perform a full martial arts on the spot... that would not be very good.
After hugging Ivan Crewe, other teammates rushed over to celebrate the goal.
That kind of enthusiasm makes the Chelsea player next to him sound very uncomfortable. The blankness and helplessness on the faces of the Chelsea players contrasted sharply with the excitement of the Derby County players. They didn't want to watch their opponents celebrate in front of them, especially when there was not much time left for the game, so they hurriedly urged the coach to restart the game as soon as possible.
But the sidelines celebrations continued.
Wan Sheng hugged Diamares hard, and kept saying, "See? We did it! Haha! We did a great job! 2:1! We're ahead!"
Not only him, but everyone else too.
The players on the bench chatted happily about scoring goals, and they rushed out of the bench as soon as they scored. Cheers on the sidelines.
It's the same with every Derby player, excited to be ahead of Chelsea.
The only one who wasn't as excited was Diamares. He has long accepted the fact that he is Wansheng's assistant, and he is very convinced of Wansheng, but whenever it is time to celebrate, he can still keep his senses.
He was watching Derby County grow stronger step by step.
Many times Diamares feels that the reason why the team is a little bit stronger has nothing to do with him. He just leads the team to train according to Wansheng's instructions, so whenever the team achieves good results, he can Stay sane and don't get too excited.
Now looking at the rewritten score on the field, he is also amazed at the growth of the team.
He clearly remembered that in the summer, Wansheng told him the team's goal, "We want to strive for the top six in the league, and also grab the League Cup and the FA Cup! Of course, it would be better if we can win two more cup championships."
At that time, Wansheng hadn't thought about the league title, but it was only the goal of the top six in the league, which made Diamares not very trustworthy. After all, this is the Premier League, and Derby County is also a newly-promoted horse. The goal of the top six in the league is really It's too hard to win.
The gap between Derby County and other teams is still not small.
Not to mention the reputation of the players, the salary level of the team alone is a big problem. For example, other Premier League powerhouses, such as Tottenham Hotspur, their average weekly salary of first-team players can reach about 23,000 pounds, and this salary has Morris is almost there. The average salary of the Derby County first team is only about 14,000 pounds. This is after the team completed many contract extensions before the summer.
Salary may not fully represent strength, but it is enough to explain something. It is always that Derby County cannot compare with those Premier League powerhouses in terms of salary system.
But what about the current results?
Derby County can already beat Chelsea at home. After this game, the two teams will have the same points. Even Derby County will only be one goal difference behind Chelsea. No one dares to say that Derby County has no chance to win the league. One, this is very different from the summer when many people laughed at Wansheng's 'out of control' attempt to qualify for European competitions.
Wansheng explained something with the team's results.
Diamares watched Derby County succeed step by step, and his expression towards Wansheng became more determined. He believed that he had made an extremely correct decision.
As long as he follows this young Chinese, even if he has been his deputy, he will follow him to success.
......
Far away in London, in a manor.
Abramovich is sitting on the sofa watching the game with his wife Irina. The game was played at the Pride Stadium, so Abramovich did not watch it, but he still took his wife to watch the game at home. At present, he is still more concerned about Chelsea's results.
However, in Abramovich's mind, there will be no suspense in this game. Although the opponent is the second in the league, it is only a newly-promoted horse, and it will not be the opponent of Chelsea, which is full of stars in the third tier.
But the game didn't go according to his ideas. Chelsea's lead was not smooth, and in the second half, the score was evened, and then Derby County's substitution told everyone-Derby County was not satisfied with 1:1, and then Derby County quickly relied on Kluivert's progress to obtain overtaken.
"interesting!"
Sitting on the sofa with his wife in his arms, Abramovich, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly laughed. Pointing into the TV screen. Wan Sheng, who was celebrating the goal with the others, said, "This young Chinese is very interesting, he can beat Jose."
Irina didn't know why, "You know him?"
"Meeting once and talking, he's a very interesting young man. The last time I saw him. His team seems to be still in the second league. I didn't expect to lead the team to beat Chelsea now." Abra Movic said with some sigh.
"Your team lost, are you still happy?" Irina asked.
Abramovich shook his head and said, "You don't understand football. This is a league. Teams always win and lose, and it doesn't matter if they lose a game."
He looked like he really didn't care.
But Irina rolled her eyes at him. Husband and wife for so many years, she knows her husband better, the more he pretends not to care. The more you care, but if you win the ball. He would proudly say a few words "boring", and then smile more proudly than anyone else.
Soon the game on the TV has restarted, and the screen shots are back on the field.
In the next game, Wan Sheng instructed the team to retreat in an orderly manner to shrink the defense line, and directly put on a defensive appearance.
At this time, there are no tactics or tactics. Derby County is that the whole team is defended by one person in their own half. Counterattack is not in their consideration for the time being. The only thing they consider is to defend the goal and not let Chelsea have any Chance.
Crowd tactics are the best defense. This sentence is absolutely true. When Derby County did this, Chelsea couldn't do anything about the Derby County goal in a short time. They even wanted to pass the ball into the Derby County penalty area. The difficulty is mainly due to the fact that the defenses they face are too dense. When the football reaches the frontcourt, they cannot play together at all. If a person wants to find opportunities, it can only exist in theory, so many times, they can only keep falling on the periphery. Looking for opportunities, the intensive defense of the penalty area, let them know that the opportunity is only in theory.
This situation made Chelsea gnashing their teeth.
The fans who supported Chelsea also made a 'boo' sound, and the media supporting Chelsea were all scolding Derby County as 'conservative' and 'utilitarian', but what they said was useless at this time, because on the other hand, supporting Derby County Everyone thinks that Wansheng's approach is too correct.
There are only a few minutes left in the game. Naturally, we must keep the goal firmly, so that we are more likely to defend the victory, otherwise we will have a few points to fight against Chelsea.
In the face of a crowded penalty area, Chelsea can't really do much, but they still think of a useful way, that is, big feet pass the ball into the penalty area, and let tall players compete for headers, which is not bad. There may be opportunities to break through the intensive defense method after a long time, but there is not much time left.
In the next few attacks, Chelsea did not find any opportunities at all. Instead, they made a mistake. Derby County seized the opportunity to pass the ball to Van der Vaart. Van der Vaart ran the ball forward without hesitation, and passed two consecutive People, directly crossed the half to reach the penalty area. If Cudicini in front of the goal attacked in advance, blocked the shooting angle, and double-teamed with Carvalho one after another, maybe the score would have been rewritten again.
This counterattack also let Chelsea know that Derby County is not powerless to fight back, if they are given a chance, they can also create a great threat.
As a result, time was delayed.
Finally, with the referee's two short, one long and three whistles, the game was declared over. In the end, Derby County defeated the visiting Chelsea 2:1 at the Pride Stadium.
At the end of the game, Wan Sheng turned to the Chelsea coaching bench and exchanged glances with Mourinho, who met in the air.
Wan Sheng had a smile on his face, while Mourinho's face was gloomy.
The faces of the two also explained the result of this confrontation, but Wan Sheng knew very well that this was not the end, the league was still very long, and the two sides still had to fight, and from now on, Derby County could officially join the race for the Premier League championship.
