This is a report from the Daily Mirror.

In the report, they claimed that Derby's 'falling apart' was just around the corner, and the reason was naturally that 'Derby County is too good', 'Derby County has a lot of players who are very good', 'Derby County can't keep talented players', etc., originally the "Daily Mirror" reported on Derby County that was not among Wan Sheng's concerns, but soon many other media followed suit and began to report, all kinds of reports were saying that Derby County players were favored by other clubs, and it was as if Derby County was going to split the next day.

In this case, Wan Sheng is also a little worried about the media's statement, after all, the media report will still have a certain impact on the player's heart, he doesn't care, it doesn't mean that ordinary players don't care, not to mention, the media report still has some truth, it is difficult for him to ensure that the players in the team have no other thoughts.

But to say 'falling apart', Wan Sheng only thinks it's funny.

It's impossible for Derby County to 'fall apart', at least now, when he's in charge, because of the reverence that players have for themselves, and he can say for sure that players who have a reverence value of more than '100' won't want to leave, even if a team comes to poach them.

So the whole team still has a framework guarantee.

Now the team has more than 100 players with a 'reverence value' for themselves, with Bolton Reitt and Ian Taylor in the front, Morris, Ferdinnan, and Ivan Crewe in the midfield, and the last 2 → including Roussy, Layton Bynes, Alfred, and Marcus, almost the entire backline has a reverence value of more than 100 for themselves.

There are only a few players in the team who are likely to want to leave, and the most notable one is Frank Ribery, who has been subject to transfer rumors.

There were a lot of transfer rumours of Frank Ribery before the summer. At the time, the name was associated with the 'Gunners' Arsenal, and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger seemed to want to buy Ribery to replace Pire, after all, the latter was old, but for whatever reason, Ribery did not choose to leave in the end.

In the previous games, Ribery was quite good, and now that Derby County is playing in the Premier League, it naturally receives a lot of attention, so more clubs are interested in Ribery.

Among them is Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

In recent times, the most rumoured transfer rumours have been Ribery. His name is always frequently associated with Bayern Munich, which makes Wan Sheng a little worried, he is not worried about Ribery leaving, in fact, if Ribery is bent on leaving, no one can stay, but he can only leave next summer, and no one can say what will happen at that time, but if it affects the current table. That would be unforgivable.

So at the end of the day's training, he gathered the players together and said solemnly, "You all know what's going on outside. I don't know what you guys think, but if any of you want to leave, it's going to have to be until next summer, and I'm not going to stop that. But whatever you have in mind. I can't affect my current form, otherwise my team won't have an absolute main force."

It's a warning to the players.

"Also, I found a lot of people talking about our goals for the season," Wan Sheng sighed. Staring at each player, he continued, "I said before that our goal in the league is to qualify for the Champions League, and I'm sure you don't think it's a joke about that goal by now, right? ”

Hearing Wan Sheng's words, everyone laughed out loud.

When Wan Sheng began to say that the team's goal was to qualify for European competitions, many players did not believe it in private discussions, after all, Derby County is just a promoted horse, but as the league progresses and plays against various Premier League teams, they find that the Premier League teams are nothing more than that, even if Liverpool is in the top four of the Premier League, they have not won away from home? Therefore, it is not difficult to qualify for European competitions and the Champions League, which is the so-called top three or four in the league, and this goal is not unrealistic, but it is not difficult to get.

Everybody feels that way.

But what is the coach doing when he mentions this now?

In the confusion of the players, Wan Sheng said seriously, "Actually, I still have a goal that I haven't told you, I'm afraid that if I say it, you will feel unrealistic but take advantage of this opportunity, I have to say it, and I can be sure that if we can achieve this goal, each of you will become famous next summer, and whether you stay or want to leave, you will get a bigger contract."

Many players watched with bated breath as Wan Sheng.

Wan Sheng stretched out three fingers and said seriously, "This season, my goal is to win three championships!" He took a long breath and explained, "No matter what the title, I want to get three, so the League Cup, the FA Cup, the UEFA Cup, even the league, I'm not going to give up, some of you start a lot, but some of you can only start once in a while, or come off the bench, but it doesn't matter, because with that goal, it's important for us to fight for every game"

"So, I want you to take every game seriously, no matter what the outside people say, we're going to work towards the goal, and as long as we can do it, I'm sure next summer's Derby County will be completely different, like they said, we don't have one Wayne Rooney!"

After Wan Sheng finished speaking, he looked at the player's surprised look and left directly.

After he left, no one left immediately, but was silent for a while, and then 'coaxed' and discussed enthusiastically.

"Three champions! How can it be? ”

"It's so challenging!"

"I believe what the boss says, and the boss always does what he says!"

"As long as we are willing to work hard!"

"If we can win three championships, we will all be big stars! That's the Triple Crown! No, we've got a Community Shield! ”

"What is the Community Shield? We're going to win the league, the FA Cup and the Europa League, so we're going to win the treble! ”

"I'm sure I'll be a big star by then!"

“”

In the discussion of everyone, the whole team was full of laughter, this state made Diamares feel very strange, in fact, he did not think that Wan Sheng should say such a goal, that would bring pressure to the team, when Wan Sheng said that. He even had to interrupt, seeing the discussion and atmosphere in the team, he felt a little incredible, didn't these players feel pressured?

Diamares was a little confused.

He naturally didn't know Wansheng's thoughts, in fact, Wansheng was not afraid of pressure or anything at all, the reason is that most of the players in the team trust themselves very much, and there are nine players with a reverence value of more than 100, these players are the backbone of the team, and they are the ones who control the mainstream discourse. Even those players who don't trust themselves very much, they will be driven by the mainstream discourse to be full of confidence, so he is not worried about pressure or anything, as long as he says it himself, it is equivalent to setting a goal for the whole team, and the general direction of the whole team will definitely work hard according to the goal he said.

That's the benefit of a high reverence value.

However, Wan Sheng said that he had other thoughts on this, that is, to change the topic, if there is always a discussion in the team about who is favored by what team. That doesn't have a good effect on the atmosphere in the team, give them a goal and let them work hard, even if some people are careful. It can't affect the whole team, that's what he's for.

Soon the next round of the League Cup arrived.

After Wansheng set the goal, the whole team knew that the team would not give up the League Cup, so when Wansheng decided on the starting lineup. When Rousey, Lichtsteiner, Peter Kennedy and others who rarely start are on the field, they are also very excited about the game, and they don't think 'I can only start in a game like this'. So in this game, the whole Derby County team played very well, completely suppressing West Bromwich Albion who came to challenge from start to finish, and finally Derby County defeated West Bromwich Albion 4:1 at home and advanced to the next round of the League Cup.

After the game, Derby County also had some celebrations at the Pride Stadium.

Despite the post-match media claims that 'a Carabao Cup can't prove anything', what Derby fans saw was that Derby County didn't feel 'falling apart' at all, but rather a positive and desperate look, and they were happy for the team.

The day after the game, Derby County took a day off and quickly gathered for training and started preparing for the next game.

Next up is the UEFA Cup group stage, which is already the main game of the League, and Derby County have been drawn in Group A, along with Schalke 04, Basel and Feyenoord.

Derby's first game was against Feyenoord

While Derby County prepare for the next round of the UEFA Cup, Ribery is also thinking about his future, and he did not choose to leave in the summer, but now he has moved his mind to leave.

It's not that he is dissatisfied with Derby County or Wansheng, but the outside world is too tempting, Bayern Munich found him privately and hoped that he could join Bayern, this temptation is not something that ordinary players, especially German players and French players, can refuse.

For German players, Bayern Munich is definitely the club they want to enter the most, while for French players, due to the average level of the French league, even the best Lyon club at the moment is difficult to retain its stars, so Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga has become the first choice.

For Ribery, Bayern Munich is also more attractive than Arsenal.

When the agent Bernes told him that Bayern Munich wanted him to join, Ribery suddenly felt very excited, but he still had his own ideas, he did not leave Derby County in the summer, but he felt that staying in Derby County for one more season was good for him, and now he will not choose to leave in the winter, so one is sorry for the victory that is optimistic about him, and the other is that the real famous stars rarely transfer and leave in the winter, only the summer transfer is the first choice.

Ribery's reply to Bayern Munich is to see it next summer, but this incident still has some impact on his heart, he is eager to become a big star, get a big contract, and have super popularity, which is definitely not possible in Derby, no matter how good Derby County is, it is only a small club, and Bayern Munich is incomparable.

Because of this, Ribery wants to have a better performance in the game, to prove his ability and value, so that Bayern Munich will look more favorably on him

The first leg of the group stage of the League Cup started, and the whole Derby County team went to the Netherlands to challenge Feyenoord, this Group A match was watched by many people, because Feyenoord has been very good in the past two years, and Derby County is one of the most watched teams in England this season.

The media believe that Derby County will be very difficult to play away from home.

Feyenoord are a strong formidable bidder, they are Champions League regulars, have always played well in the UEFA Cup, and they have a natural advantage at De Kuipe, but Derby County should not be underestimated, after all, they are currently in second place in the Premier League.

He made a lot of preparations for the game, and tried to win the first round of the League Cup group stage, and he also mobilized the players before the game.

Wan Sheng thought about many situations, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Ribery's table was a little strange.

In the 31st minute of the game, Ribery broke through two people in a row on the left side, cut inside to the middle, and fired a shot across the penalty area, directly breaking the Feyenoord goal and helping Derby County take the lead, which was quite gorgeous.

But Wan Sheng felt a little strange.

Because many times before, Ribery had the opportunity to give the ball to his team-mates when he dribbled on the wing, so that the team would have more chances, but he didn't do that, and like this time, he scored on his own, and it had nothing to do with his teammates or anything.

Although he felt a little strange, Wan Sheng still smiled and applauded, after all, Ribery helped the team score.

Ribery's ability is still quite good, he dribbles the ball to find opportunities, and then cuts inside the middle and chooses to shoot directly, this kind of table is also normal, after all, his overall ability is close to the evaluation value of 90, and he is only behind the almost all-round Rafael van der Vaart in the whole team, and even a little higher than Morris.

Quite a few commentators are also praising Ribery.

"The ball is in! Frank Ribery! He scored alone! ”

'Franck Ribery is Derby's best full-back and there have been rumours that he will be leaving for Bayern Munich, which shows how much attention he is at the moment!

"As a wing-back, he always contributes in attack, even like he is scoring goals himself" (to be continued......
