Chapter 31: The First Victory
Trevor Brooking was furious, his expression on his face.
He has been thinking about the 'deception' of the media.
He thinks that the current failure is because of the media, and he hates those media, and when the camera camera points at him, he glared at the camera fiercely, and that look was fierce.
Belko Chrysman looked at the screen and laughed and commented, "West Ham head coach Mr. Brooking doesn't seem to be in a good mood...... However, this is also understandable, leading the team in the first game of the new season, the opponent scored two goals at half-time, and he has reason to be in a bad mood. ”
"But I think he's really not fit to lead the team, he's an absolute loyal to West Ham United, he's had a great career, but he's not good at leading games, and West Ham should think about choosing a more suitable manager......
If Wan Sheng heard Crysman's words, he would have sighed - how similar this was to what the Derbyshire media said when he took office!
But he is different from Brekin, he doesn't pay attention to the media at all, just one victory after another to prove his ability, and his results leave those media speechless.
Trevor Brooking, on the other hand, was the underdog, and he could only be angry at conceding two goals, and more recently put the blame on the media, at least in this game so far, he has been a failure.
……
After the restart, West Ham tried to attack again, and they were not willing to be allowed to score two goals like this, they wanted to equalise and get back into the situation, but they soon showed that Derby's full-time pressing was also very effective, and it turned out that their previous game was suppressed.
As they attacked, Derby County learned their lesson with a sudden counter-attack that sent the ball into the box and almost opened the scoring again. Let them know that offense isn't that easy to play either.
While they are attacking, they must also pay attention to defense......
That left the West Ham players at no thought of what to do, and in the last days of their hard work, they could only stay firmly in front of goal and hope that the first half would pass so they could have time to adjust.
This situation has also surprised many people.
In terms of the strength of the two teams, West Ham United have the upper hand, but the game between the two teams does not see this, and it feels as if Derby County is stronger than West Ham United, and West Ham United cannot play the advantage of strength at all. And often football in England is more about individual strength.
That's a matter of tactics.
English football's 'long pass rush', although it is a thing of the past, but most of the current England teams have no technical skills at all, their attack is more about using the individual ability of the frontcourt players to solve problems, and really rely on cooperation to find opportunities, which is also very simple cooperation, more straight passes.
Corners, free-kicks, these types of goals make up a big part of English football.
So English football is actually very rough, players who are trained under the league system. Most of them pay attention to the body, and their personal skills are not very good, and they are far from Italy and Spain in this regard. With this cooperation, let alone the grasp of the rhythm of the game and the rhythm of the attack. In English football. These can also only be found in the big teams of the top league.
There is also a bit of English football, and that is the ferocity of the defence.
Players with thin bodies can't get along in the English league at all, and no matter how good their skills are, it's useless. West Ham have done a good job of that, with every one of their players being strong...... But Derby County are doing better, they don't just get fit. It also takes advantage of the constant running to play the defensive advantage, which is the benefit of having enough energy in the summer.
When the ball is converted, all the Derby County players will run, they carefully watch each opposing player around them, run with them, and continue to take the initiative to grab the ball, and then the West Ham players appear, when they get it, it is very difficult to find the target of the pass, coupled with the limited technical level, their attack is naturally difficult to play.
At the same time, when Derby County attacked, they also felt uncomfortable.
Derby's attack is quite fast, many times they just get the ball, two or three passes, the football is in front of the penalty area, and at the same time, Derby's formation as a whole is also moving forward quickly, this change in offensive rhythm makes the West Ham players quite uncomfortable, many times, they will slowly run back after losing the ball, but when they run to the position, Derby's attack has ended, which creates an illusion that 'we can't prevent the opponent's attack'.
So they played more passively.
……
Wan Sheng had been watching the game, and now he was back in the dugout. With a two-goal lead and the team pressing the opponent again, he was able to relax.
He's happy with the current game.
Not only is it the advantage in the score, but he is more satisfied with the effect of the team's training in the summer, the cooperation between the players is more tacit, and the attack is also playing at a fast pace.
He was the only one in the audience who knew best why the team could suppress West Ham - and that was that the West Ham players were not used to this change of pace.
West Ham United's offense is not so fast, they generally push forward slowly, but Derby County's degree is very fast, the team uses fast offense again and again, and slowly brings up the rhythm of the whole game, and as a result, West Ham United will subconsciously become faster when attacking.
But they don't get used to this kind of fastness, they don't know how to play, the pass error rate will be higher, and they will feel out of shape.
But if they had known before the game that Derby County would use such an attack, and had a detailed understanding of Derby's tactics, their performance would have been much better.
But he wanted to win by surprise.
If the opponent knows Derby too well, knows Derby football and knows what tactics he will use, there will be no surprises, and it will be exponentially more difficult for Derby to beat West Ham.
But at least his tactics are surprising now, he can easily enjoy the feeling of being two goals ahead, can handle the second half of the game with a relaxed mentality, and can even be proud of the team's appearance.
……
In the end, the first half ended 2:o.
A lot of people thought that Derby County would change their tactics in the second half and choose to defend and counter-attack, but they didn't say it, and as a result, they were a little glad they didn't 'predict' anything when the second half started. Because Derby County are still on the offensive and they look like they're going to attack the whole game.
Derby County players let go of the game, everyone showed a good appearance, this kind of active attacking game, so that everyone involved in the game felt very happy.
It was wave after wave of attacks that made West Ham despair.
At half-time, head coach Trevor Brooking made some adjustments, and in order to score goals, he had to let his team hurry up and attack and counterattack. So he asked everyone to go on the attack, and the situation is that West Ham are sure to lose if they don't score, and they don't really have any more options.
At the start of the second half, West Ham were in a position to play against Derby County.
But when the game actually went on, they felt that helplessness again - their attack couldn't play, and the opponent's attack came in waves, they couldn't help it, and soon the team consciously contracted the defense again. Even if the ball is in their hands, it will be difficult for them to attack.
They have lost faith.
In football, the fighting spirit of a team is closely related to the table, and there is a difference in strength between two teams. The weak team is full of fighting spirit, and it is not difficult to defeat the strong with the weak, not to mention that this derby county on the field is not weaker than West Ham United. As soon as the two teams met, West Ham United were instantly crushed.
Yes, the current West Ham United can really be described as 'broken'.
Head coach Trevor Brooking watched the game. Anxious, but his roar didn't change much, West Ham still looked very passive, and at one point they took the initiative only to have the ball cut off at halfway and then Derby County launched a wave of fast attack.
Derby County's attack was already fast, and this wave of West Ham United had just launched a formation to attack, and they couldn't shrink back in a short period of time, but Morris, who was inserted later, got a chance to rewrite the score 3:o with a pick-up shot from the goalkeeper.
"Lee Morris! He scored his third goal for Derby! 3:o! ”
“gooooa1!!!”
"With a three-goal lead, we can declare the winner of the game in advance! In this game, the eleven players on the field of Derby County are all good, especially Cahill and Morris, one of them is a striker, the other is the core of the midfield, Cahill brought the lead with two goals, and a goal from Morris plunged their opponent West Ham United into despair! ”
At the moment when Morris scored, the Derby County fans cheered, not only for the goal, but also for the victory!
Victory!
Victory against West Ham United in the first round!
It's something they 'only dared to imagine' before the game, but now their team has done it, at least soon, and they're cheering and celebrating.
There was also jubilation on the Derby County bench.
Wan Sheng smiled quite happily, seeing the team he had built single-handedly leading the opponent by three goals on the field, and the joy of this success made his whole body tremble with excitement.
It's a sense of accomplishment!
Although he is only a coach, not a team that plays on the field, he is the builder of the team, the commander of the team, the whole team is his heart's work, and the victory of the team represents his victory.
With a three-goal lead, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.
It also proved that it took him a long time to think about the new tactics that took another summer to get the team used to work.
……
The match ended in 3:o.
In the final moment, it is worth mentioning that Wan Sheng replaced Leto Ziegler to give the youngster a taste of the atmosphere of the League One game.
When Leto Ziegler came out, the Derby County fans applauded him.
In fact, few fans could say Ziegler's name accurately, but the team table was very good, so they were happy and gave Ziegler a round of applause.
Under the applause of the audience, Ziegler's first appearance couldn't help but feel a lot less nervous, and then his appearance was quite decent, nothing big wrong, and nothing surprising.
Even so, Wansheng was very satisfied.
The seventeen-year-old is playing in League One for the first time, and it is already great to be able to hand over a fairly qualified table.
"Not bad!" At the end of the match, Wan Sheng patted Ziegler on the shoulder and gave him a word of encouragement.
This excites Ziegler.
The first appearance, although it was a substitute appearance, meant a lot to him, he was only 17 years old, and his first time in England was a good start.
His teammates also encouraged Ziegler.
In the team, Ziegler is really like a little brother, he has not been affected by the professional league, he did not grow up in the football environment of England, his personality is still very simple, and more importantly, he is not yet 18 years old, and his face is a little immature.
Many people joked that if Ziegler can become famous this year, he will definitely attract many hot female stars in England, and there will be many women who want to bring this football Zhengtai home.
This kind of flirtation made Ziegler blush every time he listened.
That's interesting.
The players celebrated the season win in a relaxed atmosphere of joking with each other.
However, Wan Sheng didn't have time to celebrate with everyone, so he put away his thoughts and called Cahill and went to the press conference together.
Cahill was the hero of the game and the best player of the game, he deserved this treatment, which is also a reward for Cahill by Wansheng, and being able to participate in the press conference with the manager also represents a kind of recognition, especially in Derby, few people can enjoy this treatment, which shows how satisfied Wansheng is with Cahill's appearance.
Cahill was also delighted, he went back to the dressing room to quickly change his clothes, and soon went to the scene with Wan Sheng.
There were already a lot of media reporters at the press conference.
They were all waiting for Wan Sheng to arrive, this match was an accident for them, the game process was unexpected, the result of the game was unexpected, and they couldn't wait to go and interview Wan Sheng.
The Derbyshire mainstream reporters weren't in a good mood, but what about them?
Derby County beat West Ham United!
In the Derbyshire region, or even in the East Midlands, it's absolute heavyweight news, and they don't want to come to the press conference for an interview because they're going to see the nasty face of that damn Chinese.
If Derby County loses, they want to gloat.
But now...... They still have to come, otherwise, they don't know what Wansheng said after the game, and the content of the report will definitely be much less, they are the mainstream media of Derby, and if they don't want to be overtaken by the tabloids, they have to be there.
Interview...... Forget it.
That damn Chinese would certainly not heed their questions.
Just when they were depressed about their current embarrassing situation, they saw a middle-aged reporter with a notebook in his hand walk to the front row and sit down.
This is ...... Brand of the Daily Mirror?
They suddenly remembered the first press conference held when the damned Chinese first became the head coach of Derby County, when Brand was in the venue and asked the Chinese questions.
And then...... Brand was also replied with the phrase 'We have a feud'.
Now Brand is back in Derbyshire.
It is estimated that Brand did not care about the events at that time, and even now he can't remember the interview a few months ago, but the Chinese who hold a grudge will definitely remember that they believe this very much, because they know too well that Chinese's grudge Cheng Dù.
A lot of people are a little gloating, they feel like they have a good show to watch for a while. (To be continued!)
