Chapter 85: Ready

On the night of coming to Cardiff, Wansheng received a call from chairman Ji Smith, Ji Smith and Wansheng chatted about the team, then talked about the transfer of the club, and said sorry, "I think, in the future It's hard to work together."

Hearing Mr. Chairman say such sad words, Wan Sheng also felt a little sad. After all, he has been together for more than two years, and he can have the current success. I have to say that I also want to thank Gee Smith for staying in Derby County. Opportunity, he can become the manager of Derby County, and the trust of Gee Smith is inseparable.

Although he is very successful now, people cannot forget his roots. He has the ability and room for growth, but he also needs opportunities. So many clubs have rejected him, and Gee Smith has given him a chance.

Derby County's present is inseparable from his ability; but his present is also inseparable from Smith's trust.

So the two thanked each other.

Of course, Gee Smith didn't call Wansheng to thank Wansheng. He was concerned about the team's League Cup final. The call was to encourage Wansheng, hoping that he could lead the team to the League Cup championship. In addition, Smith also talked about Wansheng's contract extension.

"The other party promises that as soon as the deal is reached, the first step is to talk to you about the renewal of the contract."

"Your treatment in Derby County will be greatly improved. The other party is a big American conglomerate, but it's not as stingy as me..." Ji-Smith said jokingly.

The media said that Wansheng's salary is one-fifth of Mourinho's. In fact, this is a bit overestimated. Wansheng's new contract last season's annual salary was only 500,000 pounds. After a 30% increase, the annual salary is only Around £700,000. This salary level is definitely at the bottom of the Premier League coaches, and it is because of this that Wansheng will ask for a renewal.

In the world of football, there is always a balance between ability and salary.

He led the team to compete with Chelsea for the league title, and firmly held the second place in the league, but his salary fell in the Premier League, which is absolutely unreasonable.

With the promise of the new boss, Wan Sheng felt a lot more at ease.

If the other party really renews his contract normally, Wan Sheng estimates that his salary will be at least 2.5 million pounds. At this level of salary, even after tax, he can guarantee that he will get more than 2 million pounds. If the new owner is generous enough, his annual salary can even reach more than 3 million pounds, which is compared with the top coaches in the Premier League.

But Wansheng believes that by renewing the contract with himself, the new boss will definitely earn it.

He is extremely confident in his ability and he can create far more value for Derby than his salary, so he will try to get a better contract.

In fact, the thought of the Derby County club changing hands. Wan Sheng's mentality was still somewhat affected.

If Gee-Smith is the chairman, Wansheng would rather ask for less salary, after all, he and Gee-Smith have a good personal relationship. I also thank Ji-Smith for his kindness, but the new boss is different. The two sides don’t know each other. He naturally wants to get a salary equal to his ability.

Wansheng also has the confidence to be high-tech.

One is his performance in leading the team in Derby County. In addition, now is also an opportunity to prove himself - the League Cup decisive battle with Chelsea. If you win this game, the team will be able to win the League Cup. It is also the second championship honor after the Community Shield this season.

Wansheng is determined to win this honor!

......

Wan Sheng openly talked about the acquisition of the club in the media, triggering a new round of media hype about the acquisition of the Derby County club.

Before Derby County was acquired, it was just all kinds of 'grape news', but as various news continued, after Wansheng confirmed the matter, all kinds of news became real news, and the American consortium that acquired Derby County Club also officially Surfaced, is the GSE consortium from the United States.

The media have also reported on the GSE consortium buying Derbyshire. But that was just gossip, and there was no definite statement at all. After all, the acquisition was a private transaction between the GSE consortium and Gee-Smith, as the Derby County club was not listed and had no board of directors. Even if the club is acquired, there will be no public big moves.

But with the acquisition there is progress. The news naturally couldn't hold back.

Appleby, chairman of the GSE consortium, stood up and affirmed the acquisition news, "Derby County Club is a century-old club with a long history of football. The acquisition of Derby County Club will help us continue to develop the sports industry."

"We visited Derby County and were impressed by the potential and the loyalty of the fans."

After talking about the Derby County club, Appleby also talked about the team's upcoming League Cup, and said that he would go to the Millennium Stadium to watch the game, "This game is very important for Derby County, I hope Derby County can win The next champion!"

As Appleby came out to speak, the media hype was even hotter.

Wan Sheng knew the news, but he didn't say anything about it. After all, he was only the head coach of the team, not a director or decision maker. What he cared about was the team's performance, or his new contract. , In his opinion, the GSE consortium came out a bit early. After all, the acquisition has not been completed. The current club is still owned by Gee Smith. It is still a little too early for the chairman of the GSE consortium to watch the Derby County game. , it seems that the other party can't help but want to appreciate the feeling of having an English football club under his command.

Wansheng doesn't care what the people in the GSE consortium think. All his experience is in the League Cup final with Chelsea.

He did a lot of preparation for this game because he knew that Chelsea were not a good team to play against.

Derby County came to Cardiff two days in advance. They have to rest here for a Wansheng, and then adapt to training for a day. They will participate in the game on the third day. Wansheng still cares about the local training in Cardiff. This relationship Whether the team can quickly adapt to the game when they play.

Derby County has come to Cardiff for the third time. The first time was the FA Cup final with Manchester United, and the second time was the Community Shield, so the whole team was not very interested in Cardiff, and it was quite familiar here.

Wansheng paid a lot for this game. The whole team also paid a lot.

The media are not optimistic about Derby County. The reason is that Derby County is not well-groomed, but this is also Wansheng's trump card-it was not until the next day when Derby County was training that the media discovered that Lee Morris was following the team. Came to Cardiff.

Many media reporters exclaimed!

Some reporters with cameras took pictures frantically, as if they wanted to leave evidence that Morris was back from injury, especially Morris was in good shape in training.

"Maurice is likely to come back in the game against Chelsea!" The media immediately said with certainty.

This is Wansheng's trump card.

It's a pity that this is the League Cup final, and the first day of training in Cardiff is open, in the small stadium allocated to Derby County. There can be no confidentiality, so Wansheng simply and generously let Morris and the team train with the team. After all, the 18-man roster will be submitted before tomorrow's game, and confidentiality is impossible.

Before Christmas, Morris' injury was still very serious, but it is now the end of February. With various recovery training, Morris has completely recovered from the injury last week. Considering that Morris has just recovered from injury, he is in good condition. unstable. Wan Shengcai kept him in his hands and did not send him to the game.

But this Carabao Cup final against Chelsea is very important, with Morris playing. The team's performance will definitely improve a lot.

The only regret is that Van der Vaart can not play.

Van der Vaart's injury is also very serious. It is conservatively estimated that he will not recover until at least the middle of next month. He must not be able to catch up with this decisive battle.

This has a big impact on Derby County.

Tomorrow's game is about to start, and the real training time is only one day. The whole team has not done individual training, overall confrontation training or anything. It is better not to do too intense exercise before the war. Wansheng just asked everyone to practice some small-scale tactical cooperation.

These cooperations, in detail, are the various offensive routines of the team.

On weekdays, Wan Sheng and other assistant coaches have designed a lot of offensive routines for the team together. Some routines are embedded in the team's tactical system, while others are created separately. In the game, many times the process of scoring goals is obviously a routine. Even players can know where their teammates are without even looking at them. This is the role of training on weekdays. When you play routines in the game and play a role, the cooperation is naturally very tacit.

These offensive routines. are the basis of tactics.

At the same time, various offensive routines are not fixed, as long as they have enough practice. Many variations can be derived.

The day before the game, Wansheng asked the team to repeat these tactical routines.

This kind of routine training is just training according to the tactics, but it is actually very complicated, especially for the coaches of the team, the coaching bench needs to know what to do in every link of the attack, and the players only need to follow the coaches. All they need to do is to do what they want, each of them is just a link in the tactics, just do their job well.

Every attacking routine of the team is the hard work of the entire coaching staff of Derby County. Those plans and complex tactical maps are dizzying to look at. These contents are reflected in the game, which is a smooth attack. The attack looks like The performance of the players, or the tacit understanding, but in fact, these are inseparable from the work of the coaching staff who design the routines.

This is not the work of Wansheng alone. If he does this work by himself, it is estimated that it will take up all his time, so people like Diamares, Jim and others also share the work together, although they are not Excellent coaches have little talent in tactics, but they are qualified assistant coaches after all, and they can do the basic work of perfecting tactics.

Generally speaking, Wansheng gives a general idea, others complete the details, and finally everyone studies the entire tactical routine to analyze and find some loopholes.

It's like programming.

For example, the project manager formulates the framework, then the small programmers fill in the content, and finally the software test, everyone finds bugs to modify.

In short, the process of developing a tactical routine is complicated.

This work is carried out by all the coaches in the team every day. Wansheng spends a lot of time on tactical routine research. He knows that this is not only the improvement of the team's tactics, but also a process of precipitating his own tactical ability. , in the process, he himself will gain a lot.

At this moment, Derby County is training on tactical routines.

Each player stands in a fixed position and performs a fixed movement according to the tactical requirements. Since it is a review training, there is no need for tactical explanations. Everyone knows what they should do, and then there is a tactical routine drill.

This kind of training is very boring, but the advantage is that it does not consume much physical energy, and the effect is real.

To make an analogy is like reviewing knowledge before the exam. No one can be sure whether the knowledge will be forgotten during the exam, so it is always good to review it to deepen the memory.

In the boring tactical routine training, Wan Sheng stood on the scene with high spirits. Whenever he thought of something, he would discuss with other coaches, and then let the players on the field make some changes to the tactical routine implementation. , will know whether this change is good or bad.

This is a process of perfecting tactical routines.

After two seasons of accumulation, Derby County still has a lot of tactical routines, but most of the routines in the First Division, the team has long given up, those routines are aimed at the team at that time, and the strength of the current team is obviously Much stronger than at that time, tactical routines are more about cooperation and efficiency.

Now, there are several routines commonly used by the team. Wansheng often improves these routines before the game. This is actually unreasonable. After all, it is difficult for the team to really adapt to and apply some changes before the game to the game. , but Wansheng insists on doing this every time, and it is useless for other coaches to object. Facts have proved that many times the team can apply Wansheng's temporary adjustment to the game. Many people, such as Diamare He was amazed by the team's ability to adapt to tactics.

Wan Sheng just smiled at this.

"Anything is possible with my team," Wan Sheng would answer whenever others asked a similar question.

So the others could only look at him in awe.

......

Wansheng was very satisfied with the results of one day's training.

During the training, the team repeated various tactical routines, and they performed very well. Wansheng also made some minor modifications to some of them, and then the team repeatedly trained the modified routines, and the whole morning passed. In the afternoon, Wansheng asked the team to conduct regular tactical training, that is, defensive positions, offensive positions, etc. In the end, the team also arranged a 15-minute offensive and defensive drill, until Morris cooperated with Iraq. En-Taylor put the ball into the goal, and Wansheng signaled the end of training.

Wan Sheng applauded the goal and praised Morris' performance. He is still very satisfied with the current state of the team, and he is looking forward to tomorrow's game even more.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for tomorrow's game! (To be continued ~^~)
