Chapter 81 Relax

Wan Sheng was stunned when he heard the news.

Before, he thought about many reasons why the club would not renew his contract, but he never thought that a consortium would suddenly buy the club. He knows that the acquisition of Premier League clubs by foreign capital is a major trend in the future, such as Chelsea now, Manchester United next year, Manchester City after 2007, etc. These teams will be settled by foreign capital. What he did not expect is that, Derby County will also be taken over.

Derby County is different from the above-mentioned big clubs. Derby County is not listed on the market now, and it is completely owned by the club chairman Ji Smith. That is to say, if Ji Smith wants to sell the club, it is relatively simple.

But no matter how simple it is, it will take a long time for delivery. After all, a club can have more than one team, but also various channels. The American consortium has settled in the Premier League club, and it is definitely not like Abramovich, just keep filling money. To make the team perform better, their purpose is to make money, and these channels are very important to make money.

So this is not a simple delivery of the chairman position.

It is very common for many teams to change their chairman, just like Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain. Their club chairman is elected through election and has little relationship with the ownership of the club. It is like many Premier League clubs, such as Manchester United, Chelsea, etc. The club chairman of the team holds the absolute power of the club shares in order to occupy the position of the club chairman.

Derby County is not listed, and the club does not have a board of directors. It is completely privately owned by Ji-Smith. Relatively speaking, the acquisition is much simpler, but it cannot be completed in a short time. It is estimated that it is only an agreement now. After two or three months.

Wan Sheng thought so.

He still regrets that Gee Smith sold the club, after all this chairman is a lot of people. General manager Wilcox also has a good relationship with him, but it's a pity that we can't work together in the future.

After listening to Wilcox's explanation, Wan Sheng was not too worried about his position as head coach, because he led the team very well. The team's achievements are here, and whoever becomes the chairman will not shake his coaching position.

Now that he knows the reason why the club did not renew his contract, Wansheng is no longer worried. The big deal is to wait for the new chairman to take office and then renegotiate the contract. He can still wait for two or three months. For him, the key is to ensure the team's performance.

The team's performance is directly related to the club's income. In this regard, the top management of the club is actually the most concerned about the performance.

If they can win the league championship, the club can get millions of pounds more in terms of next year's TV broadcast share, and other channels can also bring a lot of benefits to the club. The club can only develop when its income is high. This is a virtuous circle.

As a head coach, leading a team is nothing but an honor. Because the head coach gets the salary from the club, regardless of the performance, the salary can be guaranteed. That is to say, most coaches lead the team to complete the goal. No coach does not like the championship, but in fact, in this regard to say. Club executives, who are concerned with immediate benefits, care more about results than the head coach.

But Wansheng is an exception.

He wants to get good grades more than others. This is not only honor for him, but also his future ability-complete the tasks given by the football training master system, which can gain a lot of experience points and new skills, these things That's what motivates him to get good grades.

No matter what happens at the club, his goals will not change.

What's more, the championship is also an honor, and his two aspirations are to become a successful football coach. What is success?

Honor is success, champion is success!

Now he is leading the team on the road to success, no matter what happens, he will not back down!

......

On January 23, the 24th round of the Premier League kicked off. Derby County host Manchester City.

The two teams met in the last round, Manchester City lost 0-1 at home to Derby County. In that game, Derby County showed a solid defense and sharp fast-break football. This time the two teams played against each other at the Pride Stadium. Manchester City coach Keegan also made the team solid defense. After all, it was an away game. Manchester City really There is no advantage at all, and solid defense is still very important.

As it turns out, Keegan's approach works well.

Derby County attacked very violently, but it was still difficult to break through Manchester City's stubborn defense, but in the 74th minute, Derby County still found an opportunity, Van der Vaart dribbled the ball in the middle and was brought down, Derby County got a free kick Chance.

Ivan Crewe took the free kick, and he hoisted the ball directly into the dead corner of the goal with a big arc, scoring the only goal of the game.

In the end, Derby County won the game 1-0.

Three days later, Derby County ushered in the second round of the League Cup with Liverpool at home. For this game, not many people paid attention to it, because Derby County defeated Liverpool 4:1 away before, and Liverpool wanted to make a comeback in this game. Sex is small.

The result is also the same. Wansheng did not send all the main players in the game at all, but only relied on solid defense and quick counterattacks to entangle with Liverpool. The final result of the game was 0:2. Liverpool won the game cleanly with two goals, but lost. League Cup.

But to Wansheng's heartache, Van der Vaart was injured again in the game.

It was a minor injury last time, and it recovered within a week, but this time, seeing Van der Vaart being carried off the court on a stretcher, Wansheng regretted letting Van der Vaart play. He originally thought that playing Van der Vaart would be a threat to Liverpool, but he would not know that. Such an accident happened.

Van der Vaart was injured, which was more of a concern than the game itself.

After the game, Wansheng scolded Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher who injured Van der Vaart, "He is a butcher! He defends with dirty means!"

For this, the Derby County club paid a £20,000 fine for Wansheng.

However, this is nothing compared to Van der Vaart’s injury. After the game, Wan Sheng rushed to the hospital to see Van der Vaart and learned that Van der Vaart would have to rest for at least a month and a half before he could return to the field. The game in February caused a lot of trouble.

Without Vander Vaart, Morris has yet to recover. The team's February game was not easy to deal with.

At this time, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho also stood up, he taunted Wansheng "just want to rely on a few players to win the league title", "...that is unrealistic, the league title It's a team effort, a whole club effort, two or three players can't decide anything..."

Now Derby County has become Chelsea's biggest rival, the last round of the league, Chelsea drew with Blackburn. As a result, the points of the two teams were tied again. All England knew that Mourinho and Wansheng were almost incompatible, especially in the first half of the match, Derby County also defeated Chelsea.

Wansheng immediately retorted, "Not everyone is like him and can spend £2,400 on a Drogba. Rafael's worth is one-fifth of Drogba's, but his goals are as high as Drogba's. More than three times as much as Roba."

"...their squad is gorgeous, the third tier is full of big names. But they lost to us, so he doesn't have the right to say anything about the championship!"

Wan Sheng talked about the first half of the match. Chelsea lost to Derby County in the game, and the two teams have not played against each other for the second time, but Chelsea's loss to Derby County is real, and the winner has the right to speak. His words almost made Mourinho angry, However, the Portuguese is good at words, and his big mouth immediately replied, "Now he can say that. But his players are injured. I can already predict that after February, we will have no competitors!"

Mourinho is clearly referring to the fact that Derby County's results will be greatly affected after Van der Vaart's injury.

The war of words between the two seems to be very lively, but this is just the tip of the iceberg of the quarrel between the Premier League's 'final four' coaches. Now the Premier League's top four are Chelsea, Derby County, Arsenal and Manchester United. The points of the four teams are far ahead in the Premier League. It is not easy for Everton and Liverpool to catch up with Manchester United, which ranks fourth. The points of the four teams are also divided, relatively speaking. Arsenal and Manchester United seem to be in decline, after the last round. With third-placed Arsenal losing the game, they are on the same points as Manchester United and 10 points behind Chelsea and Derby County, a gap that gives them little chance of catching up.

However, the competition between Manchester United and Arsenal is also quite fierce. The Premier League teams have four places to participate in the Champions League, three of which can directly participate in the Champions League, and the other has to participate in the qualifying round, so Manchester United and Arsenal must Compete for the top three in the league.

However, the competition between the two coaches can be traced back to 1997, and it is not just for performance reasons.

Wenger arrived at Highbury in 1997, and in the following 97/98 season, Wenger's first full season at Arsenal, he led the Gunners to a double title.

From this time on, Arsenal became a real threat to Manchester United, and it was also from this time that the ceaseless battle of words between Ferguson and Wenger began.

Over the weekend, Ferguson said publicly that it was a shame Wenger did not apologise for his players' misdeeds. His remarks once again intensified the conflict between the two. Also last weekend, Arsenal lost 0-1 to Bolton away, leaving themselves a 10-point gap with Chelsea and Derby County in second place. Ferguson's remarks made Wenger, who was very angry, angry again. Medium burn.

"I will no longer respond to Ferguson's provocative behaviour," Wenger, who could be punished by the Disciplinary Committee, told reporters. "In England, you always pay for what you say after the game. But the same rule should apply to what was said before the game."

There is another game that will play a very crucial role in the battle between the two, and that is the match between Arsenal and Manchester United on February 1. Wenger believes that this game is not far away. The team has to seriously prepare for this game.

In fact, the two coaches are very clear in their hearts that they have almost no chance of competing for the league title. Their more realistic goal is to finish third this season, which will ensure that they can directly qualify for the Champions League next season.

More than points, he'll get a huge morale boost no matter which team wins that game, and the confidence that comes with it will give them more chips to contend with. Third in the league this season.

This game is especially important for Wenger because if Arsenal win this game, Wenger's fighting spirit will increase and he will be reinvigorated in the tongue fight with Ferguson. Because the current points gap between Arsenal and Manchester United has narrowed to only 1 point.

In the Premier League, Mourinho and Wansheng battle, Wenger and Ferguson battle, is the championship situation of the entire league.

But Derby County is still very unfavorable at present, because as Mourinho said, some players are still too important to Derby County, such as Van der Vaart, who was just injured. Without Van der Vaart, Derby County's offensive ability in the frontcourt will be great discount. Because Derby County have no players who can replace Van der Vaart.

This is Wansheng's helplessness.

Derby County was created by him, but without the financial support of the club, the depth of the team's bench is a problem. There is a clear gap in strength between the substitute players and the main force. This is the actual situation at present, and the team still needs to be in many games. Relying on talented players like Van der Vaart and Ribery, and because of this, Van der Vaart's injury gave him a headache.

But in any case, the various competitions will continue.

Even if the situation is difficult. Wansheng must also ensure the team's performance and continue to work hard to achieve its own goals.

......

On February 1, Arsenal lost 2:4 at home to Manchester United. Be the focus of the whole of England, relatively speaking, Derby County's game against Crystal Palace on the second day is not taken seriously.

So far, Crystal Palace's performance has been poor to a certain extent. If there is no accident, Crystal Palace will almost certainly be relegated. This team that relied on the promotion play-offs to advance to the Premier League last season, the good luck has ended, this game Crystal Palace It's a tough fight. But even without Van der Vaart, Derby County could not be shaken by Crystal Palace. In the end, Derby County won a three-goal victory at home. With this victory, the team also dispelled the mentality of Van der Vaart's injury. More confidence from Derby County fans.

Three days after the match against Crystal Palace, Derby County welcomes Norwich again.

Norwich and Crystal Palace are considered 'difficult brothers' and were promoted together last season. So far this season, one league is the last from the bottom, and one league is the second from the bottom.

Derby County is also a newly-promoted team, but the situation is very different from the two teams. The schedules of the three teams are also close to each other, which is 'very fate'. Especially after Van der Vaart was injured, he encountered two weak teams in a row. This race couldn't be better.

Wan Sheng smiled and led the team to another victory - a 0:4 away game. There was no suspense from the beginning to the end of the game.

Derby are far from the League One side that faced Norwich last season and needed to be cautious.

After two easy league games, Wansheng didn't have time to be happy, because the team is about to usher in the FA Cup round of 32. Wansheng still has a certain amount of distress for the FA Cup. If the team has a neat lineup, He will definitely not give up this competition, especially as the team is the 'defending champion' of the FA Cup. If he can win the FA Cup again, it will be a great honor for the team and himself. .

But now there are various injury problems in the team, and after a period of time, the problem of the club's acquisition will definitely be revealed, which will definitely affect the mentality of the team.

Wan Sheng knows that the current team will definitely not be able to adapt to the fourth-line battle.

It's so hard.

Even those rich and powerful teams have a hard time adapting to multi-line operations, not to mention the lack of foundation and lack of lineup, but Derby County, which has just been promoted to the Premier League.

For the sake of a more important championship, giving up the FA Cup is already a necessary choice, especially since the FA Cup has just reached the top 32. It is not a pity to give up now. After all, the team has only just participated in one FA Cup. .

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If I take care of everything, I probably won't get anything in the end.

Wan Sheng knew that he shouldn't be too greedy, and to understand this, he also took a long breath.

The team's four-line operations brought frequent games to the whole team, but also brought great work pressure to himself. He had to prepare for the game every day, one game after another. , but also to deal with all kinds of things in the team and life. He seems to be the head coach of Derby County, but the kind of work pressure is not something ordinary people can experience.

After finishing his work, Wan Sheng suddenly picked up his mobile phone and looked at a number on the screen.

This is the phone call I received yesterday. A very unexpected beautiful woman called and wanted to go out on a date with him. Although the beautiful woman said it very euphemistically, Wan Sheng knew that was what she meant.

He had chased beautiful women in his previous life, but being chased by beautiful women was the first time in his life.

However, Wansheng was too busy with work, so he planned to reject it, but now his mood is suddenly a lot easier, and then think about that attractive big breasts... Let's make an appointment first, dating or not is a matter of the future , finally relax. (To be continued ~^~)
