Chapter 42: The Meaning of Offensive Football
Before the game, Wan Sheng knew what McGson had said, and that was when he was leading the team to Pride Stadium, got off the bus, and was passing through the mixed area, when a reporter from Sandwell, West Midlands, West Bromwich Albion, told him.
Wan Sheng didn't expect that he was only half an hour late, and the other party actually spat at him first?
This game is very important for both sides, but it is only a league game, and he didn't expect the opposing manager to come first, which is to hit the morale of Derby County, right?
Even if he dismisses the other party's remarks, but he can't lose face in the game, Wan Sheng asked rhetorically after listening to the reporter's words, "What gave him the confidence to think that he would definitely beat Derby County in this stadium?" ”
The reporter was about to explain in detail McGson's theory of 'we know their tactics and layout', Wan Sheng himself asked rhetorically and continued, "Is it a loss to Norwich?" I think it should be for this reason. ”
The reporter's face turned black when he listened!
Defeat to Norwich gave McGson confidence in victory over Derby? Is this a reason to be confident, or is it a satire that West Bromwich Albion was kicked out of the top spot in the league!
At this moment, Wan Sheng suddenly complimented McGson, "I know him, he is a good manager, and in 2oo2, he led West Bromwich Albion to promotion to the English League. ”
The Sandwell reporter was very comfortable listening.
Isn't the other party's compliment to McGson's equivalent to complimenting West Bromwich Albion? Could it be that this young Chinese also felt scared in the face of the powerful West Bromwich Albion?
"But ......" they didn't think about it anymore, Wan Sheng's voice suddenly took a big turn, "He's also a manager who led teams to lose to strong teams, just look at West Bromwich Albion's results last season, they only stayed in the top flight for a year and then came back here." They also lost to Norwich some time ago. ”
"That's right, he's a coach who can lead the team to the next level. But he will also lose to strong teams. So, this victory must be ours! ”
A reporter immediately couldn't help but retort, "Even if what you say is right, compared to West Bromwich Albion, Derby County is not a strong team, right?" ”
"How so?" Wan Sheng shrugged, "You go and look at the League One standings, we have one more point than them, we are second in the league, they are only third in the league, and ......"
'He's a manager who can lead the team to the next level. And I'm the manager who can lead the team to the championship. ”
Wan Sheng explained with a smile.
It's the first time he has explained so much to reporters from other teams, is the reason that he naturally wants reporters to pass on these words to McGson, that guy actually took the initiative to provoke a war of words, and he really thought he was a bully?
After explaining as a matter of course, Wan Sheng left the reporter's sight and went to the locker room with the players.
Those reporters who had just interviewed him looked at Wan Sheng's back as they left in a daze, and it took a while to react. Gritting his teeth with hatred, "Sure enough, just like the Daily Mirror said, this young Chinese is really arrogant!" ”
"He actually said that he was the head coach who led the team to the championship!"
"Unreasonable!"
He also rightly explained why Derby won West Bromwich Albion. It's ridiculous! ”
"It's up to him what he says after he loses!"
“……”
The reporters quickly relayed Wansheng's exact words to McGson, and they hoped that McGhson would say something to fight back forcefully. But McGson just said angrily, "That's what he said!?" What a megalomaniacal guy! ”
And then...... Nope.
McGson wasn't actually a guy who was good at fighting with words, he originally thought that the opposing head coach was still young, so he just said his thoughts 'very sincerely'. Now his opponent's rhetoric is very sharp, especially 'presenting facts' and 'reasoning', his team has just lost to Norwich. In terms of war of words, he definitely can't take advantage, so naturally he won't say anything.
But McGson was still annoyed.
The words of this young Chinese coach, except for the sentence 'he is the coach competing for the championship' showed arrogance, the other statements about West Bromwich Albion were all naked scars, and McGson was naturally quite annoyed, especially in the face of these remarks, he didn't know where to start if he wanted to refute them.
McGson's brings that mentality to the field as well.
Before the game, the head coaches of the two teams shook hands politely, Wan Sheng had a smile on his face, his expression looked very friendly, but McGson was not very friendly, he symbolically patted Wan Sheng's hand, glared angrily, and turned around and walked away to the West Bromwich Albion coach's seat.
Facing the camera lens, Wan Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "What a rude guy......"
His voice is not small.
Not only was the camera in front of him caught it, but McGson, who had just turned to leave, heard it, and his footsteps stopped, and soon continued on as if he didn't hear it, and it was certain that he must have been even more annoyed in his heart.
……
The confrontation between the two coaches, that is, the gossip of the commentators, did not affect the normal progress of the game, and soon the two teams lined up, and under the referee's whistle, the game began.
At the start of the game, the commentators and reporters were concerned about the line-ups of both teams.
In the Derby County lineup, the most noteworthy is Frank Ribery, in the past half a month, Ribery has been a talking point player, not because he is good, but because his table is not good, he alone wasted a lot of opportunities in the two games of Derby, in the eyes of the public, such a player should stay on the bench, instead of getting a chance in every game.
The media, which had a bad relationship with Wan Sheng, also used this to attack Wan Sheng, saying that Wan Sheng was a dictator and only allowed those players who were close to him.
Ribery is the clearest example of this.
Ribery's appearance gave the commentators and reporters a lot of words, and they grasped this good reason to say that the general coach was under such pressure, and the player did not show a good situation in the game, the most rational choice was not to let him play.
Even if it's really 'putting someone close to you on the field', you can send Ribery again when the follow-up attack is unfavorable. In this way, media reporters will have no handle, after all, when the offense is unfavorable, it is normal to make substitution adjustments and change the situation.
But the Chinese did not do it.
He still insisted on playing in Ribery, and the commentators and reporters did not understand this, and many people wondered in their hearts, is it really the same as the Daily Mirror said, this Chinese likes to 'send close players to play'?
It's unlikely.
Fans may be confused by what is being said in various reports, but as professional journalists, they are well aware of the moisture involved in media coverage. Whether it is true or not is not determined by looking at the report, looking at the influence of the news media of the report, such as the report made by the "Daily Mirror" on Wansheng, it can be seen at a glance that there is a lot of content in it that is worth scrutinizing.
For example, if the young Chinese coach of Derby County really did this, there would be a lot of resistance within Derby, but in fact, Derby County seems to be very united. There have been no internal locker room problems recently, and their results have been quite good, which shows that the Chinese arrange the line-up is still very reasonable, not as the Daily Mirror said.
But what's going on now?
Even if it was to see Ribery. The future of the French player, but if he wants to work on it, he should also play in other games, not the current game against West Bromwich Albion, which is of great importance to both sides. It can directly determine the top three positions in the league, and it will affect which side loses the game, so why did he do it?
The commentators and reporters couldn't figure it out.
Pride Stadium Radio Room. Commentator Alfei also wondered after introducing the lineup of the two teams, "Ribery's performance in the previous two games is not very good, he has a lot of chances, but there is only one assist, which is not worth mentioning compared to the opportunities he wasted, but Wan Sheng made him, I don't know why......"
It could also be heard from Alfi's voice that he was not optimistic about Ribery's cousin.
……
Many West Bromwich Albion in the stands also know Ribery, there have been a lot of reports about Derby County in England during this time, Ribery is one of the key words, as the opponent of Derby, West Bromwich Albion fans will also care about the opponent's situation.
Seeing Ribery back in action made these West Bromwich Albion fans happy.
That's good news for West Bromwich Albion!
The Frenchman's cousin has been the subject of media criticism, and now that he is back on the pitch, the opposition attack will definitely suffer, West Bromwich Albion fans are happy to see the opposing manager make the wrong decision, of course, it does not affect their readiness to make fun of Ribery, who has made this player so 'famous' in recent times?
So when Derby County attacked for the first time, Ribery got the ball and made a mistake on the baseline, and West Bromwich Albion laughed from the stands.
"Sure enough, it's this guy!"
"He's just as ridiculous as the media reported! Keep conceding goals! Keep conceding goals! What a wise decision it was for Derby County to send him out! ”
"Let's just get ready to watch him concede! That's really interesting! ”
Ribery heard the roar of laughter from the stands.
West Bromwich Albion arrived at the Pride Stadium with just over 3,000 people, and it was not loud compared to the noise of the entire stadium, but Ribery happened to be facing the stands on that side.
But Ribery didn't care at all.
During this time, he was under a lot of pressure from the outside world, but he didn't care at all, because he knew that those reports were not actually aimed at himself, but against head coach Wan Sheng, and he was just a head used by media reporters to criticize Wan Sheng.
Even so, the pressure is not small, but Ribery is a bit used to it, and more importantly, he is well aware of his poor players.
But after this period of training, as well as the run-in of the two league games, the team has made great progress in terms of aspects, and his teammates have a lot of tacit understanding with him.
It doesn't matter.
It was just one attack failure, and he was used to these two games.
Ribery shrugged nonchalantly in the direction of West Bromwich Albion's stands and was soon back in the game.
……
Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and watched the game carefully.
Unlike other people's concerns, Wan Sheng didn't care about Ribery's table at all, because he knew that the team's cooperation could already play some games, so Ribery's table should not be too bad anyway.
He cares about defense.
The defensive adjustments made in the past few days, what effect can be achieved, this game will verify the appearance, West Bromwich Albion's technical strength is still stronger than Derby, and their attacking ability is also very strong, so the game will definitely detect the effect of defensive changes.
Whether it's good or bad, it's up to this one.
Wan Sheng has some confidence.
In fact, he knows very well where this 'bread' style of defensive flaws are, and he also knows how the opponent does it, and the biggest threat to the team's defense is very simple, which is to use England's most traditional long pass to rush and hang, have a fast striker, as long as the anti-offside position is successful, it is easy to break through all defenses.
But only if West Bromwich Albion have time to adjust.
They don't know the team's defensive approach yet, which means that even if McGson's coaching ability is high enough to see the shortcomings of this defensive tactic, and he wants to adjust it must be at half-time, then the team's defense should be safe in the first half.
If the defense is not good in the first half, it is equivalent to a complete failure of defensive adjustment.
So Wansheng is very concerned about the team's defense.
As for the second half, even if the opposing head coach saw the weakness of the team's defence and used it to find opportunities with long balls, he had no intention of making adjustments.
You know, Derby County is an attacking tactic!
Offensive tactics have to be based on offense, although defense is very important, is the basis of tactical movement, but offense is the most important, as long as it is offensive tactics, there will definitely be loopholes in defense, but it does not mean that the opponent can seize the loopholes in the team's defense to take advantage.
First of all, the anti-offside position can only find opportunities if it succeeds.
If the anti-offside fails, it is equivalent to offside, and the offensive opportunity will naturally be missed.
If you want to succeed in the offside position, you have to look at the ability of the players, look at the timing, and also look at luck, if there are many failures, the impact on the team is still great - every defeat means giving up the attacking opportunity and handing over the football to the opponent.
The more attacking opportunities a team has, the more likely it is to score goals.
In addition, Derby County originally played attacking football.
What is Offensive Football?
It's not about who has the tougher defense against the opponent, it's about who has scored more goals with the opponent! ――
