Chapter 50: Attacking and Defending the Core

The next day, the result of the match between Derby County and West Bromwich Albion seemed to be indifferent, except for the local media of Derby, there were few media to mention the second and third focus of the league, for the game itself, many media just said, 'Derby County beat West Bromwich Albion', and then, no, the focus of the media report is still dissatisfaction with the post-match Wan Sheng's remarks.

This is how the Daily Mirror reported, "The manager of the League One team is a public figure, he should not publicly promote Na-Pure's remarks, it is anti-people, anti-people."

Saying this sentence is like the title of 'dictator', which has nothing to do with them, in fact, it is their hype that many media and fans have officially added the title of 'dictator' to Wan Sheng's head.

Of course, the Daily Mirror will not admit this.

They also don't say anything that is relevant to their previous report, they take themselves out completely, and the whole article criticizes the little part that Wan Sheng said about Nazi, and at the end of the article, they remind the FA that they should investigate the matter on the grounds that public figures should not say such things.

But that's where the story stops.

As the target of the target, the Daily Mirror has decided not to pay attention to the Derby County game, and no longer pay attention to the victory, so naturally they will also mention their victory, and if you want to find the word Derby County in the sports section, you have to go to the table of 'latest League One results', where there is a row of numbers showing Derby's 5-2 win over West Bromwich Albion.

And then there was none.

Other reports of the game can only be found in the East Midlands (where Derby is located) and the West Midlands (where West Bromwich Albion are located).

There is still a lot of coverage of the game in the Derby County media, because the vast majority of Derby fans already know that Derby County won by a big margin against West Bromwich Albion, and knowing the result, they naturally want to see the media coverage, and what they want to see is equivalent to the media market. There's no reason why Derby's media shouldn't cover the game.

Even if there were media reporters in the Derby County area, who shared the same hatred with those colleagues, and 'swore an oath' not to report on Wansheng and Derby County, it was only a moment of anger, and when they walked out of Pride Stadium, they immediately seemed to have no reaction to anything, and they were excited to write tomorrow's article.

They're Derbyshire regional media, not big British media, they don't do Derbyshire coverage, what else can sports news cover?

They have to do the reporting. Unless they want to be crushed by their competitors.

Compared to competition in the commercial media, what is a sentence or two of righteous indignation? Fart doesn't count!

It's just a momentary surge of enthusiasm.

Ahem, does everyone make mistakes sometimes?

Derby County's internal mainstream, non-mainstream, newspapers, tabloids all have a lot of praise for Derby, their remarks are only touted, and there is no pre-game worry, this is mainly because of Derby's victory over West Bromwich Albion yesterday, Derby County fans are happy, they must want to see the remarks touting the team, what fans like to see. That would be the market, and unless there's bigger news to attract fans, the Derby County media will be the icing on the cake.

All in all, there was harmony in the Derby County area after the game. The media outlets are busy touting Derby County, and if you stop at the side of the road and buy a newspaper, you can find reports of DerbyCounty's big win over West Bromwich Albion, even down to the comments on each player.

At the same time, some reporters also mentioned Wan Sheng's remarks at the press conference after the game.

Inside the Derbyshire media. The 'lackey' party was mainly worried, because the remarks were likely to cause a little trouble for Wansheng.

Derbyshire Sport criticised Wan Sheng's remarks after a big report on Derby's win over West Bromwich Albion. They thought it was a bit too unscrupulous, but in the 'big picture' of the Derby County supporters, they also said it might be a sentiment like 'this young coach is a little carried away with the joy of the young coach, he's still young after all'

At the same time, Wan Sheng was standing next to the training ground with Diamares, watching the training on the field.

Worry crossed Diamares' face.

"Wan Sheng." Diamares couldn't help but speak, "Is it really good that you did that yesterday?" I mean, what you said was a bit harsh. ”

Wan Sheng shook his head, "I know. ”

Diamares didn't expect Wan Sheng to admit it directly, and continued to ask, "Then you still do that." ”

Wan Sheng shrugged, "It's like Derbyshire Sport said today, I'm still young, I'm just too impulsive. "That being said, looking at his appearance, he has a completely indifferent look.

"I'm serious, Wansheng." "You know what I'm referring to" said Diamares.

"Thanks, Gail."

Wan Sheng looked at Diamares, "I know you care about me, to be honest, I wasn't impulsive yesterday, I did it on purpose." You look at the media, they always say bad things about us, and after doing that yesterday, we can stop for a while from now on, don't you think? ”

Diamares was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect this to be the reason at all.

Wan Sheng went on to explain, "I don't care at all what they say, but my players do, you see Ribery, he didn't laugh a while ago, he's definitely under a lot of pressure, they're still young and shouldn't be under that. ”

"In that case, put the pressure on me alone, I don't want to see the media always target my players because of me, they play all the time, and the pressure is already high."

"But you can't always transfer all the pressure to yourself, don't you feel it when they say that about you?"

"It doesn't matter." Wan Sheng smiled, "I'm used to it." And from now on, won't it be quiet for a while? ”

"Quiet for a while? What do you mean? Do you think those outlets, no, should the Daily Mirror continue to focus on Derby County? ”

"Of course, as long as we have good results, they will soon refocus on it, and I have that confidence. Also, Gail. Wan Sheng looked at Diamares seriously, "Thank you for your concern." ”

"Cut! I can't help but see you fail. ”

Wan Sheng smiled and didn't say anything, and soon his attention was shifted to training on the court.

He is making adjustments to the team's defensive tactics.

It is not accurate to say that it is an adjustment, it should be said that it is a kind of improvement, he thought of a way to strengthen the team's defense, which is to let the team's back line and forward line squeeze to the middle like two slices of bread in a sandwich, this kind of defense is easy to do, as long as it is said, the team can quickly adapt.

Simple tactical tweaks, though. The disadvantages are also obvious.

Just like in the last game, West Bromwich Albion scored two goals in the second half when they were not very good, and they took advantage of the weakness of this defence, and it was natural to play against this weakness, which naturally paid off, although Derby scored three goals in the second half, but if they came back to the last game, they used the same tactics. Wan Sheng also has no confidence to say that he will definitely win against West Bromwich Albion.

That's going to get quite difficult.

After all, in reality, the two teams met from the second half.

If this is the case throughout the game, it is possible for the team's goal to be pierced into a funnel, and Wan Sheng does not want to take that risk all the time. In fact, before the last game, he thought about the next step to improve the team's tactics, which was to defend the first time. Let the three fronts of the whole team slowly retreat.

The method of retreat is still related to the 'sandwich tactic', and it can be said that the 'sandwich tactic' is the basis for improving the defense now, but now it is a little more content.

The midfield line is still the center of gravity. But the midfield line doesn't do nothing, on the contrary, the focus tends to be more work-oriented.

They need to judge the position and magnitude of the retreat according to the shape of the game.

That's what matters.

The game is always changing, the opponent may play a quick counterattack, it is also possible to carry out short pass penetration cooperation, or it may be offensive on the side, in short, the opponent after getting the ball, it is equivalent to controlling the initiative, they have a lot of offensive options, the midfield line has to judge how the opponent wants to play, to decide the degree of retreat, the other two lines will also be based on the midfield line for retreat.

The midfield line, of course, also has a core, of course, that is the core of the midfield.

It is impossible for everyone on the court to judge, and two people are likely to think differently, let alone three or four, so the whole team only needs a real offensive and defensive core.

This is also the meaning of the core of offense and defense.

The core of the offensive and defensive transition is the person who can decide how everyone in the team should play, he may not be the captain of the team, he is not the most technical, not the most eye-catching, but he will definitely be the most important player on the field, and his decisions are related to the defense and offense of the whole team.

In other words, Wansheng's tactical refinement this time is based on the core of the whole team.

There is an offensive and defensive conversion core drive, just like in a war, a scattered army has a clear command, which is obviously quite important, the decisions made by the core players can drive the whole team to do it together, as long as the decisions he makes are not 'too wrong', then the team will be much better whether it is offensive or defensive.

In the past, the core of the team didn't care about being responsible for organizing the attack.

But after perfecting the tactics, the core of the team will be burdened with more pressure, greater responsibility, and more important game tasks.

There aren't many players in Derby County who have the tactical quality to take on such a heavy task, and the players are none other than Morris, Ian Taylor, captain Marcus and Peter Kennedy.

Others, no more.

People like Franck Franck Franck Ribery, Quib Webson, Cahill and others, may have better skills, but they don't have the quality to do so, it's not that they can't take the pressure, it's that they don't have the mental intelligence and judgment to play in the middle of the midfield.

Among Morris, Ian Taylor, captain Marcus and Peter Kennedy, Morris is obviously the most key player, he is responsible for the team's offensive organization, and has always been the core of the frontcourt, with his quality can definitely take on the core task of offensive and defensive conversion.

Morris will be the ironclad No. 1 core.

But Morris can't play every game, there will always be accidents, and the game becomes intensive, the same player often, even if the physical fitness can keep up, the state is not guaranteed.

So there have to be players who can be replaced, and Wan Sheng's options are Ian Taylor and Peter Kennedy.

Ian Taylor is definitely fine. The Aston Villa legend is not a legend, he has a lot of experience in the game, and it is not a problem to be the core of the team, the only thing is that he is a little old, and his fitness and condition are not guaranteed.

Peter Kennedy can also take on the core task, his problem is that he is still a little less capable individually, but he can do it if he just directs the team and organizes the attack rather than what he does individually.

Marcus was ruled out.

Marcus, after all, is the team's main central defender, with him in the back line. The whole team's defense will be much more stable, if he is made the core of the midfield and a substitute defender is sent on the field, Wan Sheng will really worry about the defense.

But Morris, Taylor, and Peter Kennedy are enough

After coaching the players on the training ground and conducting tactical training, Wan Sheng gave the whole team free to conduct individual training, and after that, he returned to the office.

Sitting in his office, Wan Sheng still called the club's president, Ji-Smith.

Yesterday's affair wasn't over yet.

Media coverage is not just a matter of not being cared for. Because he is already a public figure, it doesn't matter what an ordinary person says, and even if he expresses anti-government remarks in public, he will be persuaded by the police to leave. But public figures are different, he has to pay for what he says.

But Wan Sheng doesn't regret what he did.

Those journalists were so nasty that they should have been taught a lesson, but he still had to give an explanation to the club's president, Ji-Smith. More crucially, he needs the club's chairman's consent before he can officially announce that Pride Stadium will reject Daily Mirror reporters.

What has been said. It has to be done!

So Wan Sheng called Ji Smith and roughly explained what happened yesterday, Ji Smith's attitude was quite good, he didn't care too much about the key is that the team's current results are too good, although he felt that Wan Sheng treated reporters a little too much, but the team's results are the most important, so he thought about it for a while and agreed to Wan Sheng's request.

In fact, Ji-Smith has already thought about it.

The Daily Mirror?

Although it is a big British media, since they reported on Derby, they have basically not said anything good, and they put on a condescending face, and then wantonly criticize Derby, this kind of media that specializes in saying bad things about Derby, it is good not to let them interview, without these negative reports, the team will receive less attention and less pressure.

Is it possible for the team to sustain their results?

Perhaps, as this young Chinese man said, can Derby really compete for the title this season? No, that's too demanding, let alone competing for the title or something, as long as he can get back into the top flight, he's very, very content.

At the moment, it is this goal that matters most to Derby County FC.

Nothing else matters.

So Ji Smith's attitude towards Wansheng was quite good, and after he cared about the team and even Wansheng's life, the two stopped greeting.

Wan Sheng put down the phone and rubbed his forehead.

His worries are not only to deal with these, compared to the pressure of work, dealing with the media, dealing with the team chairman or something, it is a small matter, just the work of the team training, there is enough work waiting for him.

It's not just a tactical adjustment.

Although Wan Sheng is sitting in the office, he arranges what training the team does now, and there are many kinds of training for the team, including tactical training, post-game recovery training, personal ability training, plus ordinary training for passing and receiving the ball, in short, there are many training methods, and the time for arranging these trainings alone is enough to make people annoyed.

The key is, how to arrange such a variety of training to be the most effective?

How to arrange the most reasonable and scientific?

How do you plan to keep your team in good shape before the next game and train in between sessions?

It is very difficult to do this task well.

It's not an area that Wan Sheng understands, he has sports science in his head, all kinds of ways to train players, and it doesn't include 'the rationality of training time and the best results', in short, this is not what he is good at.

The coach of the team is only him and Diamares, who are counting on the master of 'professional team training', and Diamares will do this work.

But he didn't know if he was doing it right or not.

He needs help.

Wan Sheng really feels that there are still too few people in the team who can help him in coaching, except for one Diamares, there is no one else, and he feels that he should consider recruiting another helper.

After thinking about it, Wansheng made a decision.

Regardless of whether he can find a suitable helper, but always try to know, so he posted a job advertisement on the Internet, and clearly wrote his requirements - have a scientific and reasonable arrangement of training for athletes, and the ability to maximize the training effect, this is the most important, other requirements are nothing more than a little sports science, human psychiatry, there is an interest in the work of football coaches and other related content, but whether there are other aspects is not really important, the focus is still the first article, After all, even if all the conditions are met, if the first one is not met, it is useless to come to the team, Wansheng himself can develop personal training, physical training and other training content for all players in the team, including the goalkeeper, he is a master of training, and he does not need any assistants at all.

The task content of the football training master is the most efficient and reasonable.

After placing the job advertisement, Wansheng didn't care too much.

This kind of professional talent who can arrange the training time scientifically and reasonably is very rare, and it is best to find it, and even if it cannot be found, it is impossible to ask for it.
