Chapter 68 Voice of Support

Wansheng and the team are already gearing up for the tough schedule ahead.

They don't care about their previous losses.

After all, it is impossible to win football games all the time, even the strongest team can't do it, let alone a League One relegation team like Derby County. Facing the top spot in the league, especially in the away game, losing a game is no big deal.

After all, that has already passed, and no matter how much you care, it will not change the result. Instead of regretting previous failures, they need to work hard for future successes.

But the mainstream media in Derbyshire saw it differently.

Since Wan Sheng became the head coach of Derby County, this is his first defeat, and it is also an opportunity that these media have finally seized. In their reports, they expressed their dissatisfaction with Wansheng, and the overwhelming criticism came.

If outsiders read the reports from Derby County, they would definitely think that Wansheng's team's performance was outrageous, and I am afraid that the club's dismissal is close at hand.

But this is not the case.

Just a day ago, the general manager of the club, Paul Wilcox, publicly supported Wansheng in an interview, "He has done a very good job, and the results of leading the team so far are satisfactory."

"It's nothing to lose to Portsmouth. They're the league's top team, we're just a relegation team, and if you question his ability with that, I don't think the world will find the right manager for Derby County."

This is an exaggeration.

But from a neutral point of view, what Paul Wilcox said makes a lot of sense, leading Derby County to an away win over Portsmouth in a month in office?

What are you kidding?

If 'qualified' is measured by this standard, then the world really can't find a suitable coach. Even a coach who is confident in his own ability will not be able to achieve this goal with confidence. After all, Portsmouth is the first in the league and the first in the League One, and its strength is almost comparable to that of a mid-level team in the Premier League. Derby County is only a League One relegation team, and its strength is too far from Portsmouth.

However, the mainstream media in Derby County did not buy it.

They know that the Derby County club supports Wansheng because Wansheng's results are actually good, but they don't care about this - they are boycotting Wansheng now, not because of his ability, but the contradiction between him and them.

They are totally boycotting for boycott's sake, and criticizing for criticizing's sake!

It doesn't matter at all whether they are right or not. What's more, what they said was incorrect, but the result was widely recognized, didn't it just prove their mainstream voice in Derby County?

They are the mainstream media of Derby County and will never lose to a Chinese coach in his twenties!

...

Local media coverage is still vigorous, but this has not affected Wansheng's life.

Back at the tavern that night, Wansheng was still welcomed by the fans in the tavern. They greeted him as usual, greeted him, raised a glass to cheer him up, and even a little guy in a jersey came to him to ask for it. sign.

It's little Cruise.

Wan Sheng knew this little guy, he was the child of Cruise, a police officer who patrolled the neighborhood.

Little Cruise is very polite. After running over, he said hello before handing over the pen and paper, "Mr. Wan Sheng, sign me."

Wan Sheng smiled and asked, "Why did you ask me for an autograph? I'm not a big star."

"This notebook was a birthday present from my dad and I wanted to use it to collect autographs. I wanted to find Ian Taylor first, but my dad said you should be the biggest contributor to Derbyshire, so I wanted to get You come and sign the first name."

Little Cruise explained seriously, and then asked cautiously, "Is it okay?"

Wan Sheng listened and nodded sincerely, "Of course."

He rarely takes children so seriously, but when he heard the words of little Cruise, he was quite moved.

The mainstream media in Derby County constantly criticized him. Even if Wansheng deliberately did not read those reports, he knew from the few words of many people around him in daily life that he might have nothing good to say.

No one likes that others criticize him all the time, especially the unreasonable accusations and satires. While telling himself not to care, he is also a little worried that the fans will really be misled by the media.

But now he doesn't need to worry.

He made things complicated before. In fact, fans also have ideas. As long as he leads the team well and the fans see the results, no matter what the media says, the real results are there, and the fans will not be misled too much.

This is the truth speaks louder than words!

Thinking of these Wansheng let go of his mind, he rarely drank a few more drinks, and talked about the team and the game with the people in the tavern, and also took the initiative to talk about the previous losses.

"That's how proud we are. With five wins in a row, we feel like the team has become a strong team, but in fact, we are still far from Portsmouth..."

Wansheng calmly.

A group of people gathered around to listen to his explanation. At this time, there were still a lot of people in the tavern. People passing by in front of the tavern saw the excitement and came over, and immediately walked in and listened to Wan Sheng talking about the ball. team.

There are not many such opportunities.

Most of the ordinary fans want to know about the team through the media, and now Wansheng, as the head coach, talks about the game in a friendly way, which is only possible in Daly's tavern.

"It's a good thing to lose this game."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they stopped saying this, and they continued to listen carefully.

Wan Sheng said, "I used to worry about them being careless, but now I don't have to worry. Losing is a reminder to them, and now we can prepare seriously."

"The next two games are not easy to play. Are you confident against Leicester City and Ipswich?" someone asked.

"I'm pretty sure!"

Wan Sheng's tone did not hesitate at all, very firm, as if the outcome of the game was completely in his hands.

But in fact, he is not very sure... His bottom line is to win at least one victory, but he will subconsciously show confidence in anything about the team, and he will say sure if he is not sure.

He believes that only in this way can the team feel at ease and allow players to put down pressure and do better in the game.

Wansheng's answer also reassured the fans.

By this time, there were more than a few fans in the tavern. There were at least two dozen people around, and they all listened to Wansheng talking about the team and the game with great interest.

As a result, the tavern's business was surprisingly good that day.

It was not until nearly twelve o'clock that the tavern saw the last guest. Wan Sheng helped Daly clean up. Daly talked about today's business and said with a smile, "The business is really good, thank you, the popular Derby County head coach."

Wan Sheng smiled and looked at him provocatively, "How do you want to thank me?"

Dali stared at the corner of her mouth and said, "Okay, if you drank five bottles of beer today, even if you are 30% off."

Wan Sheng was stunned for a long time, then smiled bitterly, "I still charge..."

"Of course." Daly smiled, "I'm a small business, and drinks have never been free."

...

The next day is the team's public training day, where fans can buy tickets to enter the training ground and watch Derby County train normally.

Many reporters also came to the scene.

They are all here to see Wansheng jokes, they think Wansheng is not going to be popular with the fans because there has been very little positive opinion of him in the media since he coached the team, they are sure of that, and The reason why Wansheng can still serve as the team's head coach is only because the club's chairman, Mr. Smith, and the general manager, Mr. Wilcox, trust him.

Before the Chinese coach has been leading the team to win, the fans naturally won't say anything.

But now that Derby County lost, with their criticism, the fans will definitely be affected, and there will be a lot of doubts about the Chinese coach, so they will definitely come to the training ground to oppose him today.

The Chinese coach led the team in public training, and as a result, countless fans booed him. If you add their 'fanning the fire', the scene is absolutely interesting.

All mouths are full of gold!

Whether this Chinese coach has the ability to lead Derby County to relegation is irrelevant. When he offends them, he is already doomed-the team can relegation has nothing to do with him, his only result is to be forced to resign.

The training has not yet started, and many reporters are already imagining the scene where many fans booed Wansheng.

That must be hilarious!

They can record it with a video camera, and later they can use this record to tell others that anyone who dares to offend them will have a bad end!

When Wan Sheng appeared on the training ground, the eyes of many reporters were all focused on him. The gloating in their eyes was too obvious. They have decided that if they want to report on today's events, they must let the Chinese coach directly Can't turn over, don't give him any chance.

But things didn't go the way the reporters had imagined...

They seem too fanciful.

Many fans who came to the training ground did not boo Wansheng, but instead shouted, "Wansheng, keep going! We support you!"

"We believe that you will be able to lead the team to achieve good results!"

"You're the best!"

"It's no big deal to lose a game, don't worry about it!"

"Those reporters are talking nonsense, don't listen to them! We still believe in your abilities more than what reporters report!"

Hearing these voices, the reporters' faces turned black.

They had thought that a defeat would be enough to put the Chinese coach in trouble, but they had no idea that they had overestimated the influence of their reporting.

They regret that they shouldn't come today.

Those who can come to watch the training must be the most loyal fans of Derby County. These people may have long been confused by this damn Chinese coach!

It sure is!

Otherwise, how could they still support the Chinese coach after the team lost?

...

Standing on the training ground, Wan Sheng felt very comforted listening to the shouts of the fans around him.

These fans are here to support him.

Wan Sheng glanced around carefully, and saw the figure of little Cruise, the little guy was waving to this side, and standing beside him was his father Cruise.

Cruise is a policeman. He is very appealing among Derby County fans. Now he is the one who shouts the loudest. Many people around him are shouting after him.

Cruise raised his hand vigorously, his voice sonorous and powerful.

Wansheng knows that there are so many fans shouting to support him, and Cruise must have played a big role in it, otherwise the fans would not have shouted so powerfully even if they supported him.

He was very moved.

"I didn't expect so many fans to support you." Diamares' voice was a little sour, "Especially after losing the game and running to support you..."

He failed to become the manager of Derby County, but what he can be sure of is that he will not have so many fans shouting to support him.

Wan Sheng looked at the fans outside the stadium and said seriously, "I should thank them."

"However, gratitude is not spoken, that has no effect, I will use victory to express my most loyal thanks to them!"
