Chapter 40 The First League
With the help of Diamares, Wansheng's work is much easier. Diamares will follow the training plan every day to supervise the players' completion of their respective training, and then he will work with Wansheng to conduct training for the team. Tactical training.
Facts have proved that training with the youth army is not bad.
No first-team player wants to lose face in front of a rookie in the youth team. They will give 100% effort in defense, but every player in the youth team wants to work hard and perform well in front of the first-team coach, so they give 100% more. In this way, both sides worked very hard, the intensity of confrontation increased, and the training effect was also improved a lot.
However, the strength of the youth team is indeed very different from the first team.
Although there are Ian Taylor and Bolton Reiter in the team, when the first team gets serious, it is very difficult for them to break the first team goal. If a goal is scored here, it will be the same even if Wansheng changes several players on the defensive side in succession.
This makes Wansheng very satisfied.
He just hoped that the defense could do better, which is also the ultimate goal of training. On the third day, Wansheng rearranged Reiter and Ian Taylor into the first team lineup, and the training game became real. competition.
The outstanding players in the youth team and the first-team substitutes form a team together, and the other side is the main lineup that Wansheng wanted. The strength gap between the two sides is a bit big. Overpower your opponent.
However, Wansheng changes its requirements almost every day. For example, the main team cannot be pushed too far forward. For example, the main team must complete two steals to be counted as a successful defense. For example, the main team must take two shots and score all goals. Goals... All kinds of peculiar requirements make many people puzzled, and also make the main players very depressed.
In this way, the two sides are barely able to conduct a training match.
Wan Sheng didn't have too many ideas. In fact, he just wanted to make the two sides play more balanced, and he couldn't give the main team too much advantage, so that the training effect would be obvious, and the main team played so depressed, when it came to the real competition field, Letting them play as they please may also work well.
This is secondary, the point is that the team adapts to the new formation very quickly.
Wansheng is very satisfied with this.
In addition, for a single player, Leiter's performance is getting better and better. His speed advantage in counterattacks has been clearly reflected. In a few days, his shooting skills have also improved a bit, which makes Wansheng more valuable to the team. more confidence.
Leiter grew up watching Wansheng. It should be said that he was cultivated by Wansheng. In the past few days, Wansheng has only seen a little improvement in Leiter. That is in the world of football masters. of shooting data, he has to complete a shooting training every day, and the shooting evaluation value is also improving every day.
This is the most obvious thing that Wansheng sees, and he is gratified by Leite's efforts.
But in the eyes of others, Leiter's improvement is not a 'a little bit'. Before, Leiter was only a fringe player on the team, but now Leiter's performance on the court is no worse than Ian Taylor. Speed, confrontation, explosiveness and shooting are all a bit surprising. What they compare in their hearts is the performance of Leite three months ago, not the data or something. The current Leite seems to have changed compared to three months ago. Personally.
At the same time, they are more concerned about personal training.
Everyone in the team knows that Leiter has been training with Wansheng every day for the past three months, so he has improved so much, from a marginal player on the team to a forward who can now have absolute main strength. Is it they, maybe they can do it too?
There are many players with this mentality, especially those younger players under the age of 25.
No one wants to go further in their careers. With a real example like Leiter in front of them, their confidence in the personal training developed by Wansheng has greatly increased.
Baker Alfred, who was promoted to the youth team, also performed very well. It should be said that his performance at central defender has become more and more stable.
When Alfred played in the first two days, he often made mistakes. After that, the mistakes became less and less, and the performance became more and more stable. What a central defender needs is stability. Alfred showed that. In this state, and he has also done a solid defensive job, and his cooperation with captain Marcus is getting better and better.
Many people admire Wansheng's vision.
The current Alfred wants to become the main force of the first team and needs more growth, but at least he can be a qualified substitute, and with this steady performance, many people expect him to have more growth in the future. It will also be the mainstay of the team's stable defense.
Wan Sheng did not hesitate to make a personal training plan for Alfred, mainly to improve his defensive interception ability, maybe in other teams, this does not mean anything, but in Derby County now, everyone knows , which means Alfred was officially promoted to the first team.
Many people congratulated him.
Alfred still didn't understand, and when others explained to him, everyone in the first team had such a training plan, he really knew, it turned out that this means that the head coach Wan Sheng has accepted him !
This made Alfred very sigh.
A week ago, he was only a fringe player in the youth team of Derby County, and he was even considering whether to give up becoming a professional player. There is no formal professional contract, but this opportunity is not available to ordinary people.
He was extremely grateful to Wansheng.
...
A week passed quickly, and the preparations for the entire team were progressing step by step.
Now many people in the team have changed their views on Wansheng. For example, Bridge and Jim admire Wansheng very much. They are watching a few days and Wansheng is advancing the team's preparation step by step.
At first they thought that with so much work, this young man would not be able to handle it, never thought that there would be no problems in any way for a week, and this young man also made some suggestions to make the training look better than when Gregory was there. Well, and the whole team is more fighting spirit than before.
Although the official game has not yet started, they all feel that Wansheng has done better than Gregory in terms of training.
They were also relieved.
The two have worked together for a long time at the club. They are also natives of Derby County. They have been Derby County fans since childhood. Although their abilities are limited, they are the Derby County club they really love. They don't want Derby County to be a mess. Then downgrade.
Now they see hope.
Diamares was not in a good mood. What he wanted was to see where Wansheng was better than himself, but when he saw that Wansheng handled things in an orderly manner, he felt conflicted in his heart. On the other hand, he may hope that Wansheng can not do well.
That would prove that Mr. Smith and Mr. Wilcox had the wrong vision, and that he might be better than Wansheng.
But not now.
At least in terms of training and daily chores, this young man really can't do it, at least Diamares knows that he can't do it better.
But he was still a little unhappy.
These can only prove that you will be a good assistant coach, but if you want to succeed in the job of the head coach, it depends on your actual performance in leading the team, and only this can determine the future destiny of Derby County.
Then let me see how your team's performance is!
...
Soon Wansheng is about to usher in his first game for Derby County and his first professional league game.
This is the battlefield to prove yourself!
The media have also been looking forward to the game for a long time. This is Wansheng's first game after taking over Derby County. Not only that, Wan Sheng is a Chinese. He is also the first Chinese coach in the English league. As the first Chinese coach in England, he is enough to earn a lot of attention, and the first game is also very popular. .
There has been a lot of speculation surrounding Wansheng this week.
After understanding some basic information of Wansheng, the media will also conduct some in-depth excavation. Wansheng's previous experience was completely analyzed by them, and his resume also surprised many people - proficient in seven languages, There are only a handful of people who can do this in the coaching world. With this ability, at least he will not encounter any language barriers to coaching; Manchester United Junior Team coaching experience, although I don’t know why he left Manchester United, but It can also prove to some extent that he has coaching experience, and it may be a bit extraordinary to enter the Manchester United club; in addition, he also has a FIFA A-level coaching certificate, which proves that he is a qualified coach who has passed the exam. Not someone who has nothing to do with football.
Many people did not expect that this young Chinese could have such a gorgeous resume.
However, resumes do not mean anything. Wansheng's performance at the press conference disappointed many people. What outstanding ability can such a dumb guy who only speaks big words and was asked by the media?
They didn't think about what questions they asked at the press conference, and they didn't think about whether they would say something else if Wansheng's tongue was stronger. Will not lead the team to achieve good results.
What they say is valid.
More than just guessing, they also interviewed Manchester United youth team coach McGuinness. McGuinness didn't have a good impression of Wansheng. He could almost guess it. At the time, it was revealed that he and his female subordinates were 'private'. Man is Wansheng, and he gritted his teeth when he heard Wansheng's name.
Naturally, it was strange that he could say something nice.
"Yes, he coached at Manchester United, I gave him the opportunity to coach the Manchester United Junior Team, but he has no ability at all, making the junior team a mess..." McGuinness said.
In football circles, the head coach of Manchester United's youth team is also regarded as the No. 1 figure. The denial of McGuinness, the former boss of Wansheng, made the media affirm that Wansheng has no ability - if he has the ability, why would he be called What about Manchester United's expulsion?
That's enough to say something.
Now everyone is watching Derby County, if they lose the first game, then they will have more to say, they are even imagining that under their words, this young Chinese will not be able to Not giving up the position of Derby County coach and frankly admitting that he is incompetent, in the press conference, what he said 'will definitely lead Derby County to relegation' is a lie.
Thinking of this, they felt a burst of pride.
Wansheng doesn't know what these media think or pay attention to what they say. This is his first game in charge of Derby County. He only knows that the team must win.
There are still ten rounds of the league, and the first round is very important.
There is a saying that "a good start is half the battle", and it is the same in the league. If the team can win the first round, the team will have a lot more confidence. There will be doubts from the inside, and the next game will be more difficult to play.
He prepares for the game meticulously and tries hard to beat his opponent.
Bradford is not an easy opponent to deal with, they are currently only tenth in the league, but their performance in the league has been very stable, winning against weak teams and losing to strong teams, this is Bradford , and Derby County is by no means a strong team.
Although he is at home, it is not easy to win three points against Bradford.
But Wansheng doesn’t want to lose. The bottom line in his heart is the last ten rounds. There are two draws.
This is the bottom line.
In his heart, he also has a higher goal, which is to lead Derby County to a ten-round winning streak, and then get 30 points. Relegation is not the ultimate goal. He wants to lead the team to a higher level. 's ranking.
Only then can he eliminate doubts and get affirmation!
