On the evening of his arrival in Cardiff, Wan Sheng received a call from chairman Ji Smith, who chatted with Wan Sheng about the team, and then talked about the transfer of the club, and said sorry, "I think, it will be difficult to work together in the future. ”

Hearing Mr. Chairman say such sad words, Wan Sheng also felt a little sad, after all, they have been together for more than two years, and they can have the current success, I have to say that I have to thank Ji Smith for giving him the opportunity to stay in Derby County, he can become the head coach of Derby County, and Ji Smith's trust is inseparable.

Although he is very successful now, you can't forget your roots, he has the ability and the room to grow, but he also needs opportunities, so many clubs have rejected him, and Ji Smith has given him a chance.

Derbyshire's ability to have this is inseparable from his ability; But he can have the present, and it is also inseparable from Smith's trust.

So the two thanked each other.

Of course, Jie Smith didn't call to say thank you or anything, he was concerned about the team's League Cup final, and he called to cheer Wansheng up, hoping that he could lead the team to win the League Cup, in addition, Smith also talked about Wansheng's contract extension.

"The other party promised that as soon as the deal is concluded, the first step is to talk to him about renewing the contract."

"You're going to get a big boost in everything you get in Derby. 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 was only 500,000 pounds a year, after a 30% increase, the annual salary is only about 700,000 pounds, this salary is definitely the bottom of the Premier League manager, because of this. Wansheng will ask for a contract renewal.

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

It is unjustifiable that he can lead the team to a league title with Chelsea and hold on to second place in the league, while his salary has fallen in the Premier League.

With the promise of the new boss, Wansheng is also a lot more relieved.

If the other party really renews his contract normally, Wansheng estimates that his salary can be at least more than 2.5 million pounds, and this salary can guarantee that he will get more than 2 million pounds even after tax, if the new boss is generous enough. His annual salary can even reach more than £3 million, which is comparable to the top coaches in the Premier League.

But Wansheng believes that renewing the contract with himself is definitely earned by the new boss.

He's incredibly confident in his ability and he can give Derby County far more than his salary worth, so he's going to try to get a better contract.

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

If Ji-Smith were chairman, Wansheng would rather ask for a little less. After all, he has a good personal relationship with Ji Smith, and he is grateful to Ji Smith for his acquaintance, but it is different, and the two sides don't know each other. Naturally, he wants to get a salary equal to his ability.

Wansheng also has the confidence to be high-tech.

One is his own success at Derby County, and now is his chance to prove himself - to win the Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea. The team will win the League Cup, their second title of the season after the Community Shield.

Wansheng is determined to win this honor.

……

Wan Sheng publicly talked about the club's acquisition in the media, which triggered a new round of media hype about the acquisition of Derby County FC.

Derby County was previously acquired. It's just all kinds of 'gossip', but with all kinds of news one after another, after Wansheng affirmed the matter, all kinds of news became real news, and the American consortium that bought the Derby County club also officially surfaced, which was the GSE consortium from the United States.

The media has also reported on the acquisition of the GSE consortium of Derbyshire, but that is only grapevine, there is no definite statement at all, after all, the acquisition is a private transaction between the GSE consortium and Ji-Smith, since the Derbyshire club is not listed, and there is no board of directors or anything, even if the club is acquired, there will be no public big moves.

But as the acquisition progressed, the news naturally couldn't be contained.

The chairman of the GSE consortium, Applebi, came out to confirm the acquisition, "Derby County FC is a century-old club and they have a long football history. The acquisition of Derby County FC will allow us to continue to grow the sports industry. ”

'We visited Derby County FC and we were impressed by the potential of the club 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 will go to the Millennium Stadium to watch the game live, "This game is very important for Derby County and I hope Derby County can win the title! ”

As Applebi came out to speak, the media hype became even hotter.

Wan Sheng knew the news, but he didn't say anything about it, after all, he was just the head coach of the team, not a director, a decision-maker or something, he cared about the team's results, or his new contract, in his opinion, the GSE consortium stood up a little early, after all, in fact, the acquisition has not been completed, the current club still belongs to Ji Smith, the chairman of the GSE consortium came to watch the Derby County game, it was still a little too early, It seems that the other party can't help but want to appreciate the feeling of having an English football club under his command in advance.

Wan Sheng doesn't care what the people in the GSE consortium think, and his entire experience is focused on the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea.

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

Derby County came to Cardiff two days in advance, they have to rest here for a million wins, and then get used to training for a day, and will not play until the third day.

Derby County are coming to Cardiff for the third time, the first time in the FA Cup final against Manchester United and the second time in the Community Shield, so the whole team is not very interested in Cardiff, which is quite familiar here.

For this game, Wansheng put a lot of energy, and the whole team also gave a lot.

The media is not optimistic about Derby County, and the reason for this is that Derby County has not made up its plastic surgery, but this is also Wansheng's hole card. It wasn't until the next day's Derby County training session that Lee Morris was spotted by the media following the team to Cardiff.

Suddenly, many media reporters exclaimed.

Some reporters with cameras in hand frantically took pictures, seemingly trying to leave evidence of Morris's return from injury, especially when Morris was in good shape in training.

'Morris is likely to be back for the game against Chelsea!' Some media said conclusively.

This is also the hole card of Wansheng.

It's a pity that this is the League Cup final, and the first day of training in Cardiff is public, and there can be no secrecy in the small stadium allocated to Derby County for training, so Wansheng simply let Morris train with the team, after all, the 18-man squad will be submitted before tomorrow's game. Secrecy is simply impossible.

Before Christmas, Morris's injury was still very eye-catching, but now it is the end of February, and with various resuming training, Morris has fully recovered from his injury last week, considering that Morris has just recovered from injury and is not in stable form, Wan Shengcai has kept him in his hands and has not been sent to the game.

But this Carabao Cup final against Chelsea is very important. With Morris on the side, the team's performance will definitely improve a lot.

The only regret is that Van der Vaart really can't play.

Van der Vaart's injuries are also severe, and it is conservatively estimated that he will not recover until at least the middle of next month. He definitely won't be able to make it to this final.

This has had a big impact on Derbyshire.

The game will be played tomorrow, and the real training time is only one day, and the whole team has not done individual training, overall confrontation training or anything. Before the war, it is better not to do too intense sports, Wansheng just asked everyone to practice some small-scale tactical cooperation.

These combinations, in detail, are the team's various offensive routines.

On weekdays. Wan Sheng and other assistant coaches have designed many offensive routines for the team, some of which are nested in the team's tactical system, and some of which are separated. In the game, many times the process of scoring goals is obviously a routine, and even the players can know where their teammates are without looking at it, which is the role of weekday training.

These offensive routines are the basis of tactics.

At the same time, the various offensive routines are not fixed, as long as you practice enough, you can derive many kinds of changes.

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

This kind of routine training is just to do training according to tactics, but in fact it is very complicated, especially for the coaches of the team, the coach's bench needs to know what to do in every aspect of the attack, and the players only need to do it according to the coach's requirements, each of them is just a link in the tactics, do their own work.

Every offensive routine of the team is the work of the entire coaching staff of Derby County, those plans and complex tactical charts are dizzying to look at, these contents are reflected in the game, it is a smooth attack, and the offense seems to be the player's play, or tacit understanding, but in fact, these are inseparable from the work of the coaching staff who designed the routines.

This is not Wansheng's job 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, and they have no talent in tactics, but they are qualified assistant coaches after all, and it is still possible to do the basic work of perfecting tactics.

Generally speaking, it is Wansheng who gives a general idea, others to improve the details, and finally everyone studies the entire tactical routine together to analyze and find out some loopholes.

It's like programming.

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

In conclusion, the process of developing a set of tactical routines is complex.

This work is carried out every day by the coaches in the team, and Wan Sheng spends a lot of time in the study of tactical routines, he knows that this is not only the improvement of the team's tactics, but also a process of his own precipitation of tactical ability, in this process, he will also gain a lot.

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

Each player stands in a fixed position, according to the tactical requirements for a fixed run, because it is a review of training, the tactical explanation is naturally not necessary, everyone knows what to do, and then there is a tactical routine drill.

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

To make an analogy, it is like reviewing knowledge before an exam, and no one can be sure that the exam will forget this knowledge, so it is always good to review it again and deepen your memory.

However, in the boring tactical routine training, Wan Sheng stood on the scene in high spirits, whenever he thought of something, he would discuss it with other coaches, and then let the players on the field make some changes to the implementation of tactical routines.

This is a process of perfecting tactical routines.

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

And now there are several routines commonly used by the team, and Wansheng often improves these routines before the game, which is actually unreasonable, after all, some changes are made before the game, and it is difficult for the team to really adapt to the game, but Wansheng insists on doing it every time, and it is useless for other coaches to oppose it, it turns out that many times the team can apply Wansheng's temporary adjustments to the game, and many people, such as Diamares, are surprised by this, and he is surprised by the team's ability to adapt to tactics.

Wan Sheng just laughed at this.

"My team can do anything." Whenever someone else asks a similar question, Wansheng answers like this.

So the others could only look at him in awe.

……

The results of the day's training still made Wansheng very satisfied.

In the training, the team repeated the various tactical routines, and the table xiàn is very good, Wan Sheng also made a little modification to some, and then the team repeatedly trained the modified routines, just so that the morning passed, and in the afternoon Wan Sheng asked the team to carry out formal tactical training, that is, defensive positions, offensive positions, etc., and in the end, the team also arranged a 15-minute offensive and defensive drill, until Morris cooperated with Ian Taylor to send the ball into the goal, Wan Sheng signaled the end of the training.

He applauded the goal and praised Morris's cousin.

At the same time, I am very satisfied with the current state of the team, and I am looking forward to tomorrow's game.

For Derby County, everything is ready and waiting for tomorrow's game! (To be continued......)
