Chapter 80 Foreign Investment

When Derby County scored the third goal, the outcome of the two teams was decided, but Liverpool did not give up the game. The gap between the two goals is not unattainable, not to mention that this is the League Cup semi-final, and it will be decided in two rounds. Winning game, even if they lose the game, there is still a chance.

But after losing the game 1:3 and returning to the Pride Stadium, everyone has their own ideas about how many chances there are.

Derby County fans still celebrated, their cheers were very enthusiastic, this goal was a goal to expand the score, and it also meant that Derby County entered the League Cup final with almost one foot, which they were very happy to see.

Many Derby County fans felt incredible when they thought about the score.

1:3 Ah!

As the visiting team, we actually scored three goals at Anfield. This is not something that ordinary teams can do. If the score is reversed and it becomes 3:1, they will feel normal. It is not the fans who treat the team. There is no confidence, and more importantly, this is the Anfield Stadium. Even if Liverpool is in a downturn, it is unbelievable that they can lose three goals in this stadium.

But the facts are in sight.

On the contrary, Liverpool fans are reluctant to accept the reality. Many fans keep covering their faces. It feels like opening their eyes again and the score will change.

Hearing the cheers in his ears, Wan Sheng laughed.

He likes the voice of the fans because they support the team, and he enjoys the fans cheering for the victory, like everyone is cheering for him, because he brought the victory.

"That's what victory feels like!"

Wansheng said to Diamares, "It seems that we have to prepare for the League Cup final in advance!"

"Don't be careless, maybe they still have a chance?" Diamares said, looking at the stadium.

"Chance?" Wan Sheng smiled. "Do you think they still have a chance?" Also like the previous few times, even if they grabbed the ball, the offense always ended in a hurry.

They were so eager to score goals that the offense couldn't work at all.

Diamares glanced at Wan Sheng, saw the confidence on his face, and shook his head, "They have no chance!"

......

Just as Wan Sheng said, Liverpool had the fighting spirit on the field, but their hearts were already panicked. On their own court, when they are two goals behind, they all want to recover a goal so that they have a better chance in the next round, but it is this mentality that makes their overall performance a mess.

At the end of the game, Liverpool failed to score again.

On the contrary, Derby County took advantage of the opportunity that Liverpool pressed too far ahead to play a quick counterattack, and finally Bolton Reiter sent the ball into the Liverpool goal.

1:4, the outcome has been decided.

There were four away goals, plus a three-goal advantage. Liverpool must play at least the same score at Pride Stadium to knock out Derby County. Even Liverpool people know that this is almost impossible. After all, big scores are unrepeatable games. Derby County only needs to defend steadily at home, and Liverpool will not have any chance.

It is no exaggeration to say that Derby County have reached the Carabao Cup final.

Originally, the League Cup semi-finals were not given much attention, but due to the fact that Derby County and Liverpool played against each other, and it was the interim period of the league, when it was found that Derby County defeated Liverpool by a big score of 1:4, many media Refocus on the game.

After the game, many media began to analyze the reasons why Derby County could score a big score.

"Benitez was too careless. He shouldn't have played against Derby County. Liverpool were lucky in the first half, they scored a goal first, but the problem of Liverpool's weakness in the front line appeared randomly, and they couldn't play against Derby County at all. In a confrontational battle, you have a little advantage.”

"In this game, Derby County performed very well. Striker Burton Reiter scored twice. The outbreak of this youngster caught Liverpool completely by surprise..."

"Maybe they put too much emphasis on defending Van der Vaart. As a result, Van der Vaart did not defend, and other Derby County players performed better." Here, Van der Vaart's "undefended" obviously means that Van der Vaart has a goal.

"Liverpool lost to Derby County by a big score. A place in the League Cup semi-final has been created. Liverpool ruined the chance to enter the final in advance! This is because Liverpool did not perform well. But it is also related to Derby County's performance too well.. …”

"Wan Sheng, this young Chinese. Since he came to Derby County, the Derby County team has undergone earth-shaking changes. They have gone from a second-tier league relegation team to just one season. A strong Premier League team, Wansheng has excavated a large number of young talents for the team, and he has fabricated these young talents into a team that can compete with the giants.”

"Derby County has been very strong this season, and now they have beaten Liverpool 4-1 at Anfield. Anyone in England knows that Anfield is different from Highbury. Even if Derby County can beat Arsenal, Anfield It's the stadium that really carries the history and it's one of the toughest in England. 4-1, Derby County reminded us of their success this season with four goals and now we have to face that success."

"But what I have to say in the end is that Wan Sheng is the most talented in Derby County. Derby County's current good results are inseparable from this young Chinese..."

Ben followed all kinds of explanations, and each TV broadcast screen was given to Wan Sheng, and I saw Wan Sheng shaking hands with Benitez at this time. Both of them were smiling, but obviously the Spaniard's smile was a hard squeeze came out, and Wansheng's face was purely a winner's smile.

At the same time, everyone saw Wansheng's youth again.

There was even a hint of immaturity on his face.

A 27-year-old Chinese, who was studying before the age of 25, became a football coach directly after reading. Such an experience would inevitably bring some immaturity on his face, but this immaturity became a sign of Wansheng, which represents His youth can also make people remember him deeply.

Finally, the British BBC broadcast commentator concluded, "I think we are witnessing the birth of a world-class coach. What he lacks now is just honor..."

......

After the Liverpool game, the media began a new round of coverage of Derby County. Accompanied by these reports, some media kept talking about Wansheng's contract. In their opinion, compared to Wansheng's team-leading performance, his contract seemed a little too shabby.

Of those world-renowned coaches, all of them have a salary of several million euros. For example, Chelsea coach Mourinho's annual salary is close to 5 million pounds, while Wansheng's salary is only one-fifth of Mourinho's salary. The two teams have similar results. The league ranks first and second, and the points are exactly the same. The other two teams are fighting in the fourth line, and no one is left behind.

In this comparison, it is found that Wansheng's salary is too small.

In addition, Chelsea is different from Derby County. Chelsea already has a luxurious lineup, and Derby County spends almost no money to build the entire team, so it is calculated. Wansheng's salary should have been several times higher than Mourinho's. After all, what is important in Europe is to get what kind of salary one can afford. Especially in professional football, the salary must match the performance.

After all, the media's remarks are that Wansheng's salary is too low.

Some media are out of normal considerations, some are purely provocative, and the meaning of the words can be clearly seen. Wan Sheng is very clear about this, but he also feels that he should talk to the club about renewing the contract. After all, the season Previously, the task given to him by Chairman Gee Smith was actually to lead the team to avoid relegation. And now with this grade, he has enough reason to ask for a raise.

If you want to change the contract and ask for a salary increase, naturally he doesn't have to go out on his own.

On the second day of the match against Liverpool, Kevin Tagore came to the Derby County club to raise the issue of Wansheng's contract.

Various club staff respect Kevin Tagore quite a bit. Although Tagore is very young, he is Wansheng's agent after all, but Kevin Tagore did not achieve his goal. Wilcox's reply to him was "the club will consider it", and this evasive answer made Tagore very dissatisfied.

"They don't take you seriously at all, Wan Sheng, you should get out of here, or. As everyone else does, contact other clubs. Put pressure on them or they think you can't leave here!" Kai Wen - Tagore said to Wan Sheng.

Wan Sheng also felt very strange.

It stands to reason that his request for a salary increase is normal, and there should be no problems with the club's current economy. In the past season, Derby County has received a lot of attention. Even if the team has plans to expand the stadium stand, that is the future. , and the increase in income, coupled with the very good results, he can't think of a reason why the club refused to renew his contract.

However, Wan Sheng didn't say much. It is not necessary to put pressure on the club when nothing is confirmed. If the club is unwilling to give him a salary increase, the big problem is that he will leave at the end of the summer, but he believes that there is no accident. The club will not be stupid enough not to keep him based on his own performance, especially since he has a good personal relationship with Gee Smith and Wilcox, it is completely unreasonable for them to do so.

This matter was not disclosed to the media, but it had no effect. Wansheng came to the club the next day and still wanted to ask about Wilcox, but he learned that Wilcox was not at the club, so he could only Press your mind to lead the team to normal training.

Two days later, the Premier League went to war again, and Derby County went to London to challenge Fulham.

After Christmas, Derby County won four games in a row, and this was the first time they dropped points. Two points is not much, but considering rivals Chelsea have three points, they are two points behind.

But after the battle with Liverpool, the team's state was somewhat affected. Coupled with Fulham's tenacious defense, they seemed to intend to hold a point from the beginning of the game. In this case, a draw is inevitable.

Wan Sheng is not worried.

He won't rely on the opponent's mistakes to win the title, but the opponent does always make mistakes. Now Derby County is 2 points behind, but it is normal to have a draw in the league. both win.

After the game, Wan Sheng also turned his attention to other aspects, because he got the news that the Derby County club was being acquired by the American consortium.

"Sorry, Wansheng, the other party offered a price that couldn't be refused. Jill and I discussed it and decided to sell the team."

That's what Wilcox told him.
