Chapter 63 Accident

When the Derby County players were celebrating, Manchester United manager Ferguson's brows were already wrinkled. He had no idea that Derby County would be the first to score.

Now he feels annoyed.

In normal times, he would definitely yell, scold, and vent at players who didn't perform well on the pitch, which is why many Manchester United players are afraid of Ferguson - his yelling is a bit scary, but now Ferguson can't do it. To vent, mainly because of the goal just now, it is really difficult to blame the players.

This goal is a display of Derby County's perfect cooperation. It's not that there is any problem with Manchester United's defense, but Derby County's cooperation is too good.

Leighton Bynes' shot was blocked by O'Shea's body. It was a very good defense, and then the football fell at Ziegler's feet. It can only be said that Derby County was lucky, and Ziegler played very well. , he directly passed the somewhat careless Roy Keane, and then his pass found Morris. Morris's general performance in the penalty area, no matter how good O'Shea is, it is normal to be cheated. Yes, Ivan Crewe plugged in very timely, so there was this goal.

To say which Manchester United player did not perform well during the period, it must only be Roy Keane.

But the point is... Keane is Manchester United captain.

Even if Ferguson is dissatisfied with Roy Keane's performance just now, it is absolutely unwise to yell at the captain in the game. What's more, Keane has played for Manchester United for 11 years. Keane knows too much, and Keane also knows Ferguson very well. Many times, even Ferguson does not need to say, Keane understands what he means, and Keane has always worked very hard in the game, and it is rare to maintain the state. Veteran, so Ferguson can only hold back his anger.

But the situation on the field is not optimistic.

Ferguson had no idea that Derby would go ahead. In fact, he still has a certain degree of certainty about this game, especially Derby County's core players - Van der Vaart and Ribery have not played, in this case, Derby County's attack is difficult to threaten Manchester United's goal. Manchester United can just let go and attack.

The only thing he didn't expect was. Derby County can do so well.

The opponent scored the first goal and the first half was almost over. It was clear that Manchester United were going to return to the locker room with a goal behind. This situation was very unfavorable to Manchester United.

But there was not much time left in the first half, and Ferguson could only do anything until the second half.

......

As Ferguson thought, when the game resumed, Derby began to focus on defending. As a result, Manchester United attacked for a long time in the next time. It also failed to break the Derby County goal. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was still 1:0, and Derby County led Manchester United by one goal.

Both teams returned to the locker room to rest.

Derby County is still very happy, and Wansheng is the same. It can enter halftime with a leading score, which is better for Derby County, so the atmosphere of the Derby County team is relaxed.

However, Wansheng still urged everyone to play seriously in the second half. Tactically more defensively.

It would be a big mistake to think that a one-goal lead would win against Manchester United. Even if the entire team goes to defense, Wansheng is not sure that the team can hold the goal for 45 minutes, so we must be serious about the second half.

Soon after halftime, the two teams returned to the field to start the game.

At halftime, the media and fans were talking about the game. The score was very favorable to Derby County. However, some media still believed that it was not easy for Derby County to win. After all, Manchester United achieved absolute suppression against Derby County in the first half. Derby County cannot always play such a perfect match. For Derby County, the most important thing is still to defend well.

The views of these media are the same as those of Wansheng.

Wan Sheng arranged the second half of the game with caution. Watching the game from the coach's bench, he was also very serious, but what he didn't expect was that an accident happened at the beginning of the second half--Morris grabbed near the middle circle During the ball, there was a physical collision with Roy Keane, and both fell to the ground. As a result, Roy Keane stood up as if nothing was wrong, and Morris was lying in pain with his right leg on his face. on the lawn.

Wan Sheng stood up in shock.

The referee rushed over to check on Morris' situation, and immediately waved his hand to signal for the stretcher to enter the field. Morris was carried down. Wan Sheng had no time to ask about Morris's situation, so he could only replace Morris with Peter Kennedy. Appearance.

Maurice's injury was a huge blow to Derby County.

Not only in terms of morale, Morris is the core of the team's offense. In defense, it can also be called half the core. With Morris in the midfield, both the interception ability and the counter-attack ability are more than one step up. There are many on the field. Players often look at Maurice's position when they run. Maurice's importance to the team is unquestionable. Because of this, in the game against Manchester United, Wansheng let Van der Vaart and Ribery rotate, but never considered letting Maurice. Reese has a round off, and as long as Morris is on the court, the team has a chance to win.

But Morris was injured and he could only send Peter Kennedy as a substitute.

Peter Kennedy's ability is not bad, compared to Morris, in terms of personal ability, he is not too bad, but in terms of mental attributes such as the overall situation, there is no comparison between the two, and mental attributes directly affect the game. The ability of the two to play and to the whole team is not too different, but on the court, the two Peter Kennedys are hard to match the last Morris, Morris's effect on the team is more than His personal abilities are much more important.

Wan Sheng was very clear about the situation of the two, so after Morris came off, he hurriedly directed the team to strengthen the defense.

As for offense, counterattack, etc., we should wait for a stable state to consider. The most important thing is defense. If we can keep the game until the last moment, we can win. To fight, it is estimated that even a draw is difficult to guarantee.

......

Manchester United also knew that Morris's exit would have a big impact on Derby County, but they didn't expect the impact to be so great. In the next game, Derby County would have a hard time attacking, and they were basically defending, and they couldn't even play football. half time.

Fortunately, the team's defense is not bad.

At this time, Derby County's most outstanding players were the centre-backs Vidic and Alfred. Vidic and Alfred are partnered in the centre-back. They are both young, one is 23 and the other is 21, but their defense makes the Derby County penalty area very solid. Many times Manchester United put the ball in the box. It was directly destroyed. Under the defense of the two, the Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy has not performed much so far.

It was another Manchester United attack, the ball was passed to Van Nistelrooy, which was quite a threat to the Derby County goal, but the next moment, Vidic appeared in front of Van Nistelrooy. Forced Ruud van Nistelrooy to clear the ball directly out of the sideline.

"Derby County cleared the ball out of the box!"

Live commentator Alfie shouted. "It's Vidic! The Serbian player came to Derby County in the summer. He started as a substitute central defender, but in recent times, he has started a lot of times. The team's three central defenders, Marcus, Ai Alfred and Vidic have started alternately, and Vidic's position has been stable so far. He is second only to Alfred's talented defender!"

Alfie compliments Vidic while comparing him to Alfred. It can be heard from his words that he thinks Vidic has performed well, but Alfred is even better. One is that Alfred's first team has been in Derby County for a long time and has already proved himself with his performance. , and the second is that Alfred is a local player in Greater Derby County, two years younger than Vidic, and local Derby County fans naturally prefer Alfred.

However, which of the two is stronger is really hard to say, that is, Wan Sheng has the correct answer.

Compared with Alfred, Vidic and Alfred are almost equal in terms of personal attributes. In the football training master system, in the comprehensive evaluation of player ability, Vidic is '84' ​​and Alfred is '85. ', the data of the two are very good-looking, and there is not much difference.

It seems that compared with Morris' comprehensive evaluation of nearly 89 and Van der Vaart's 92, there is a gap between the two in terms of data, but the comprehensive attribute evaluation of defenders is originally lower. This is because defenders have offensive ability attributes. There is a big gap between the players on the field, and the players in the frontcourt, even if they rarely participate in defense, but a professional player, no matter how bad the defensive ability is, he will always pass. In short, the comprehensive evaluation of around 85 is not low. The main central defender of a strong team, even the Manchester United central defender and the most expensive English defender Rio Ferdinand, the comprehensive evaluation is only yellow level (80-90), and the evaluation of about 84 is quite good.

The data is similar, and then it depends on the talent, and Vidic is stronger in this regard.

Alfred has been training under Wan Sheng for nearly two years. After such a long period of training, his ability to improve quickly has been almost improved, and even in many attributes, such as physical confrontation, stealing, etc. It is very difficult to improve Alfred to a level close to his potential. On the contrary, Vidic has just arrived in Derby County for half a year, and he still has many personal abilities and attributes. Lots of room for improvement.

So Vidic is still better than Alfred.

But for now, Alfred is better. His ability attribute evaluation is higher than that of Vidic, and he has more experience in the English league. Although Vidic is two years longer than Alfred Years old, but he has been playing in a small league in Serbia before, and he has no experience in the English league at all. Naturally, he is not as good as Alfred.

But really speaking, both of them can be attributed to the 'rookie' level of the professional league. After all, both of them have just landed in the top league, and their game experience is not very strong. They can defend Van Nistelrooy on the court and can defend The performance is very good, and the reason is still summed up in Wansheng.

There are good abilities, plus Wansheng's various defensive skills and attribute bonuses... If they don't perform well, it will be really strange, so although Wansheng is against the two in defense. The performance was satisfactory, but he was not surprised at all.

Of course, Wan Sheng was not surprised, but others were.

For example, the media, now many media commentators are talking about the game, and they are praising Vidic and Alfred. Obviously, the defense of the two played a key role in Derby County's goal. Besides, the two are not very old. , is certainly commendable.

Some media even asserted, "These two young defenders from Derby County will become the hottest goods in the transfer market next summer..."

This is recognized by many.

For fans, ordinary players pay more attention to the 'stars' in the transfer market. For example, Michael Owen, Robben, and Wayne Rooney in the summer, the transfers of these frontcourt stars are very eye-catching, but as a football club, what is actually lacking the most are defensive players, especially central defenders. in the transfer market. There are many players who can score goals in the frontcourt. For example, Aston Villa's star Defoe is a player with guaranteed scoring efficiency, but Aston Villa even decided to directly terminate Defoe's contract for the sake of the club's economy. , If other teams want to get Defoe, they don't have to pay a penny for the transfer fee.

There are very few good defenders in the transfer market. Not to mention an excellent young centre-back. In a few years, there has been a Rio Ferdinand in the whole of England. When he joined Manchester United in 2002, his worth has reached as much as 30 million pounds, which also created the world's highest record for defenders.

Vidic and Alfred are difficult to compare with the 'Leeds United captain', but there are certainly many clubs who want to get them, so that at least a few years can guarantee the stability of the defense.

Derby County have two talented centre-backs, which are still very enviable. But it's not easy to fully defend the goal just like that.

Manchester United's offensive continues.

In the second half, 31 minutes into the game, Manchester United still broke the door of Karachi's handle. It was midfielder Scholes who scored the goal. When Ruud was restricted in defense, Ryan Giggs stepped in and passed the ball to Scholes. Scholes hoisted the ball far from the right side of the penalty area. horn.

"1:1, Manchester United equalized!"

Seeing Manchester United scoring, Wansheng also felt quite helpless. After Morris came off, the team obviously has a big gap in strength with Manchester United. It is really not easy to completely defend the goal. It is very good to be able to defend it for so long. .

Next, Wansheng continued to arrange defense, then replaced Marcus and added a central defender to limit Manchester United’s offensive against the middle.

Marcus played very well, which made it more difficult for Manchester United to score goals. Under the solid defense of three central defenders, Manchester United finally failed to score again.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score on the scoreboard was still 1:1.

Derby County struggled to hold on to the draw at home.

......

In the match against Manchester United, the result was still acceptable, but Wansheng was not in the mood to consider the result of the match after the match, and he was more concerned about Morris' injury.

After a temporary diagnosis by the team doctor, Morris was seriously injured. As a result, he was directly sent to the Greater Derbyshire Town Hospital for a detailed examination.

Wan Sheng hurriedly attended the press conference, left without saying a few words, and went directly to the hospital to check the situation.

An hour later, the detailed diagnosis came out - Morris had a strained calf muscle with a certain condition of tear, which will take at least three months to fully recover.

"Three months..." Wan Sheng calculated, "Even if you do recovery training, it will take at least two months..."

He could only shake his head and smile.

The intensive schedule after Christmas is the most critical for the team, and Morris is also the most important player for the team. Wansheng would rather be injured by Van der Vaart than Morris... Of course, There's no substitute for it, but Morris's importance to the team is undeniable, and he'll definitely miss the tough post-Christmas schedule.

Wan Sheng was a little annoyed by his carelessness, he thought things too ideally.

Several players on the team often start the game and play the full game. He originally thought that with a recovery training mission as a guarantee, the team would be able to cope with the intensive game, but obviously the players still need to rest, continuous games, not only physical It is also a kind of pressure mentally.

In order to win over Manchester United, he did not consider truce Morris for a round.

Morris is now injured.

Although he always knew that injuries were unavoidable, he still felt anxious when something happened, but anxiety would obviously not have the slightest effect. Wan Sheng calmed down and went into the ward to visit Morris and told him to take a good rest. , then returned to the club and began to study strategies to deal with Everton.

No matter what happens, the schedule will continue, and his goals will not change - this season, he must win three championships, and the League Cup is the easiest to win, so the League Cup must be fought for ! (To be continued ~^~)
