Chapter 98 Maurice's Firmness

Many reporters couldn't help but get excited when they heard Wansheng's "Championship Declaration".

The 'Declaration of Champions' is not difficult to understand. It means that Derby County will win other championships, and now Derby County have been eliminated from the FA Cup. They have only two competitions to hope to win the championship - the Premier League and the European Union. cup.

The title of any of these events is of great significance to Derby County.

In terms of the top league, Derby County has not tasted the taste of a championship for 30 years; and Derby County has never achieved anything in European competitions in history. If it can win the UEFA Cup, it will definitely make history for Derby County. scene.

The faces of journalists who support Chelsea are a bit ugly.

Not only this game, Wansheng's 'Declaration of Champions' also conflicts with Chelsea's goals. Fortunately, the UEFA Cup is a higher level. Chelsea has participated in the UEFA Champions League, which is a higher level. It is the league title, and now in the title race, Derby County are Chelsea's biggest rivals, and they have reason to interpret this as a provocation.

For the media who support Chelsea, this kind of provocation is intolerable, especially now that Chelsea is still so strong!

So a reporter immediately shouted, "Why do you think Derby County can win more championships? Just because of this fluke victory?"

Wan Sheng smiled, "A fluke victory? If you think so, then I believe we can also get away with winning the league championship!"

In fact, Wan Sheng just set a target in front of the media just under the excitement, and didn't mean to be provocative at all. Now that he is the winner, the winner should have a tolerant heart, and he will never provoke a defeated general just now.

But since some reporters stood up to refute, he naturally would not remain indifferent.

You said we got away with beating Chelsea. To win the League Cup? Then let's get away with it again, and even win the league championship together!

"Arrogant!" The reporter blushed and shouted angrily.

But that's about it. There are so many reporters present, most of them are neutral. There are quite a few reporters who support Chelsea, but among so many reporters, it's nothing. After all, Chelsea is not a Manchester United, Liverpool, or Arsenal. A solid team. Their rise is only after the arrival of Abramovich, and it is difficult for foreign-funded teams to gain the support of local people, so there are not many media reporters who support Chelsea. On the contrary, because of the arrival of Mourinho, England has There's a whole bunch of journalists who are hostile to Chelsea and they're dying to see Chelsea lose.

Although the Derby County Club is also about to be injected by the American consortium, at least... Up to now, the Derby County Club still belongs to the English.

For the neutral media, it is self-evident which team to support, especially now that the two teams have been divided. Derby County is the winner and the winner always gets more support.

Soon other reporters began to ask questions, and interviews became more normal. Most of the questions asked by the media reporters are to ask Wansheng to talk about his current mood, the outlook for this season, etc. He is familiar with these Wansheng vehicles and answers every question very seriously.

Could it be that Wansheng is so cooperative, the reporters present were also very excited.

Wan Sheng was in a very good mood. After answering a lot of questions, he came to the scene and said a few words to the Sky TV camera, expressing his excitement after winning. "I'm very happy to win this League Cup. This is our second title in the top league, the League Cup. Actually, this title doesn't mean much to us, but I believe the fans will like it. Christmas is over. It's been three months, but I still want to give this championship to the fans as a belated Christmas present. Hope you guys like it!"

...

The Derby County players celebrated for a while on the pitch.

Looking at the time, Diamares organized everyone to return to the locker room and re-dressed for the next championship award ceremony.

When the Derby County team came out of the dressing room again, the runner-up awards had already begun, and Chelsea players took the stage one by one. His face was full of loss, but he still went to the podium according to the procedure to receive a silver medal symbolizing the runner-up.

Mourinho is at the bottom of the line. His face was gloomy.

After getting the silver medal from the presenter, Mourinho held it in his hand. When he stepped off the podium, he glanced at the fans in the audience, waved his arm vigorously, and threw the silver medal to the fans stand. The direction caused a scramble for the stands in that direction.

Mourinho left without caring.

Before leaving, he also glanced at the Derby County team, and it happened that Wan Sheng was also looking this way. The two looked at each other, Wan Sheng smiled and nodded at him, and Mourinho snorted before turning and leaving.

Wan Sheng didn't care about it, and said to the FA official who was commanding the entire Derby County team on stage to accept the award, "What a man without grace."

The FA official smiled.

He also saw the scene just now, but he didn't care at all, because the runner-up would always have this kind of performance, but it was very unusual to be willing to throw the silver medal to the fans. After all, the runner-up in the League Cup is an honor.

After Chelsea accepted the award, it was Derby County's turn.

Compared with Chelsea's low-key atmosphere, Derby County is completely the opposite. Every player has a smile on their face and is looking forward to the upcoming award ceremony. Many people also look at the championship trophy in the middle of the rostrum. .

Soon that trophy will be theirs.

Wan Sheng just sighed and prepared to accept the award with the players. He has no sympathy for the losers. If they lose the game, the losers are them, so the losers do not need sympathy, the world of football is So cruel, there is always only one winner, which is the charm of football.

There are so many teams, there is only one winner. If you want to stand out, you have to work hard, work hard and work hard. This process is very difficult, and most of the time, even if you work hard, there will be no championship. Fortunately, now they have done it. .

So now all they need to do is enjoy the championship.

Derby County players lined up one by one to receive their individual medals. The presenter, Geoff Ralson, patiently hung the medals around each player's neck one by one.

When Wansheng stepped forward to receive the medal, Jove Rawson said, "Congratulations on winning the championship! Boy, you did a great job! I watched the whole game, and you deserved the championship!"

"Thank you." Wan Sheng politely said.

After receiving the medal, it was the official award ceremony. Geoff Rawson stood in the center, raised the three-eared trophy with both hands, and handed it to Morris, who received the award on behalf of the team.

Morris took the trophy excitedly, his eyes fixed on the trophy, and many thoughts flashed in his mind.

At this time two years ago, Derby County was still under the cloud of relegation from the second league. The whole team had no fighting spirit, and the team's results were disappointing after each game. Coach Gregory had nothing to do about it. Morris was even wondering if he was going to leave in the summer.

The choice was tough, especially for Morris.

Derby County was relegated from the top league to the second league. Many teammates left, but Morris did not. He felt that the team still had a day to return to the second league, and he felt that Gregory's ability was not bad at that time. , but in one season, he knew he was wrong, Gregory's coaching ability was not outstanding, and the relegated Derby County completely sank that season.

Then Wansheng appeared.

Morris has known Wan Sheng for a long time. When Wan Sheng first came to the club, he knew Wan Sheng. Although he did not train under Wan Sheng for the first time, the relationship between the two was not bad.

But Morris didn't think Wansheng could do anything in the head coach position at the time.

Even if Wansheng has done a good job in formulating some training plans, it is only training after all. The work of the head coach is much more complicated. The two are not at the same level, but Wansheng only took one and a half months to let Derby County. Completely out of the relegation circle, by the end of the season, it was still in the middle of the league.

The first full season of Wan Sheng's coaching has shocked everyone including Morris. Morris, as a participant, can better understand Wan Sheng's actions. This young man from China, With his own ability, completely changed the team.

Derby County quickly became a strong team to be reckoned with, and they also won the FA Cup at the end of the season by beating Manchester United, an honor that Derby County could not have imagined before.

This season, the team is even more prosperous. When everyone thinks they are relegated, they have already competed with Chelsea for the league title, and now they have beaten Chelsea to win the League Cup.

Looking back on the team's journey over the past two years, it is like being in a dream.

Morris himself also felt the improvement in strength and performance in the process. Now he is not only the main force of the lesser-known second-tier league team, but a complete star. All England only needs to pay attention to Derby. County will know his name, and when many media talk about it, they also suggest that Eriksen be called up to the England team.

Morris knew that all this was brought about by Wansheng.

At the moment when he raised the trophy with both hands, a lot of things appeared in his mind. It seemed like a long time, but it was only a moment. Then he shouted excitedly and raised the trophy directly above his head.

At this moment, the Cardiff Millennium Stadium resounded with a loud voice--

"Champion! Champion!"

"Derbyshire! Derbyshire!"

"Derby County! Champions!"

The voice of the audience resounded in his ears, but Maurice turned his head to look at the figure of Wansheng in the distance, his eyes gradually became firm, and he silently made up his mind - his present is inseparable from Wansheng , and only under Wan Sheng can he perform so well, so no matter what happens to the club, he will definitely play under Wan Sheng until one day Wan Sheng voluntarily sells him, or... retires.
