Rafael van der Vaart and Peter Kennedy came on at the same time to attract almost all attention.

Almost everyone was puzzled by the appearance of the two, especially the so-called 'football professionals', who seemed to them to be incomprehensible, which had to do with the position of the Derby County formation.

First of all, Van der Vaart, he is a striker, but the striker is also positional, like Bolton Reiter is the center, he has to be at the forefront in the tactics, his header and impact can attract the defense very well, and the role in the tactics is very large.

Van der Vaart is a shadow striker, the second striker, the one who stands behind the center forward, and Kluivert is also a shadow striker on the field, Van der Vaart should definitely replace Kluivert when he plays, because the positions of the two coincide.

So what does Van der Vaart mean now when he replaces Bolton Reiter? Didn't his position coincide with Kluivert's?

The two play together, who will go to the front?

In contrast, Peter Kennedy is better to replace Leon Osman, but it is only better, and his position with Morris also coincides, in the 442 formation, the four players in the midfield generally use a diamond-shaped position, two players in the middle, one in front, one in the back, the front is the offensive core, and the back can be said to be a defensive midfielder.

Peter Kennedy can certainly be used as a midfielder, but his replacement for Leon Osman, who is excellent at the table, is a little puzzling, and when it comes to Van der Vaart, who also played at the same time, it makes people wonder what the purpose of this substitution adjustment is.

So when Derby County completed the substitution, various game analysis experts made all kinds of puzzled voices, Sky TV special guest, England legend Lineker also said, after seeing the substitution, he said in surprise, "What is Derby County doing?" Is the young Chinese dizzy? ”

Of course, it is not appropriate to say this kind of thing on the live broadcast. However, Lineker, who became a radio commentator after retiring, didn't care at all, he just expressed his surprise, "These two substitutions are really incomprehensible, I have been playing for more than ten years, and it is the first time I have seen such a substitution." ”

Hearing this, many Derby County fans in front of the TV complained that you are outdated.

They are extremely supportive of Wansheng.

As for the substitution, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, anyway, this is a decision made by Wansheng, it must be correct, what's the use of thinking about it so much.

That's what the average fan thinks.

……

In fact. The Portuguese Mourinho in the Chelsea dugout was also quite puzzled, but he would not think about any reasons such as 'Wansheng's head is dizzy', he has played Wansheng twice, and the experience of losing both times has made him know how extraordinary this young Chinese is.

The opponent is not going to get dizzy when they are down by one goal.

There must be a reason why the other side is doing this.

What is the reason for this?

As a head coach, you must think about things you can't understand, only if you understand a qiē, the game will be in control, otherwise you can't even understand the game, you can only be led by the opponent's nose.

But Mourinho couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time. So I could only calm down and watch the game.

What the situation is, the game will always show.

At the same time, Wan Sheng on the other side was also watching the game seriously. This adjustment was very unexpected, and it took him a long time to think about it, but whether it could have an effect. He wasn't entirely sure.

But now Wansheng can't do anything, everything depends on the performance of the players on the field.

The on-site commentator was also saying, "Then let's see how Derby's style of play will change after Van der Vaart and Kennedy come on......

That being said. But the on-site commentators are not worried about the game, and this season, the game was played at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea scored first and Chelsea won all the games.

He believes this one will be no exception.

It didn't matter how much Derby County adjusted, because the winner was already decided. As long as Chelsea scores first, Chelsea defends solidly and plays defensive counter-attacks, no matter how much the opponent adjusts, it will not affect Chelsea's defense.

Many people think the same way.

But they soon saw that Derby's adjustment was actually aimed at their own attack, and after Van der Vaart came on, the shape of the game did not change, but Derby's attack did.

……

What everyone can see is that Derby County have increased passing.

From the back to the midfield, from the midfield to the front, Derby County has significantly increased the number of passes when attacking, and this obvious increase also makes Derby County's attack look much more gorgeous.

More passes mean more coordination, and continuous coordination is also a great thing, and Derby County did just that, even though a lot of their passes weren't very targeted, in other words, a lot of them didn't mean much, but they made the attack look a lot better.

At the same time, Chelsea players found it much more difficult to intercept the opposition's attack in front.

Chelsea defended solidly, naturally had to shrink the defensive line, their main defensive area was still in front of the penalty area, and the defense at the front of the middle line was a little worse, before they pressed around here, there was still a chance to grab the ball, but now when Derby County has increased the pass, a few two or three players, it becomes impossible to grab the ball, because they haven't rushed over, the opponent has already passed, the football is falling under the feet of the Derby players, they can't keep up with it.

It was also important to note that Derby's passing of the left and right flanks up front was a headache for Chelsea's defence.

The first offensive was like that.

The football was clearly at the feet of Ivan Crewe on the right, and Chelsea's defence was also biased to the right, but after a three-foot pass, the football was at the feet of Ribery on the left.

Three crosses in a row changed the direction of Derby's attack, but the attacking side is always in favour and Chelsea need most of the players to make the right runs if they want to adjust the centre of gravity of the defence, and it will definitely take more time.

But the Chelsea players on the pitch are just a headache and don't pay much attention to it, the key is that Derby County have not found a chance to attack three times in a row, and in their opinion, it is just a little troublesome now, and the shape of the two teams is no different from the previous game.

They always believe that if they stick to their style of play, they will be able to take full control of the game. Nearly to achieve the final victory.

……

After several waves of attacks, Derby County did not find any good opportunities, but due to Osman's departure, the defense was a little weaker than before, and Chelsea used a counter-attack to almost find an opportunity in front of goal, leaving Derby County fans in a cold sweat.

In this situation, if Chelsea score another goal, Derby County will really not be able to recover.

"Robben! It's a pity ......."

'Frank Lampard had hoisted the ball into position just now and Arjen Robben was able to follow up in time. It's just that Derby County's centre-back Alfred reacted quicker and broke the ball off the touchline first......"

'Chelsea missed a great opportunity.

"However, during this period, Derby's substitutions have not worked, but have made their defence a little stretched, Peter Kennedy's ability is not as good as Osman's, maybe the Chelsea players will be happy to see Osman go down because it is easier for them to play on the counter-attack......

“……”

The on-site commentators really spoke for the Chelsea players, who did have a headache for Osman, who was in midfield. The constant running forced them to pass the ball to get rid of it.

Peter Kennedy, by contrast, was 'Sven'.

He's just in the right position like any other qualified midfielder and is responsible for solidifying the defence in front of the penalty area. It's much less stressful to them.

However, the commentators and the media did not emphasize this issue, and the defensive comparison between Peter Kennedy and Osman was only incidental, and they focused more on emphasizing that 'Wansheng's substitutions did not work', which is the more interesting topic.

Derby County in a lot of games. Wansheng's substitution adjustments rarely have no effect at times, but now they can be considered. Against the mighty Chelsea, this brilliant young Chinese also made a wrong judgment.

And this can bring out the strength of Chelsea even more!

……

What the commentators and the media say doesn't affect the players on the pitch, in fact, the game is not like what they say it is, it is 'about the same' as before, at least many of the Derby players don't think so, because they already see hope of scoring.

The next two Derby County attacks used the passing of the left and right flanks, and the continuous and rapid passing of the ball to the other was still rare in England, although many people thought it was completely meaningless, but it did not affect them to watch carefully, because it did add to the excitement of the game.

What these people don't know is that a few Derby County players are in attack, silently observing Chelsea's defence.

Morris is one of them.

Morris is a very smart player, otherwise he can't always be the core of the team.

He was at the heart of Derby's midfield a few years ago, not because of his technical skills, but because of his game intelligence and big-picture vision, and he was responsible for organising the attack, linking the front and back of the team, and no one in the team could take his place.

Morris' mind is one of the best on the team.

At halftime, Wan Sheng's tactics were very complicated, and it was estimated that half of the team listened to half of them, but Morris understood and knew what to do in the second half.

He knows that it is impossible for the team to adapt to such complex tactics for a while, it should be said that even if a few months of training time are given, it is really hard to say whether they can adapt to it, after all, the team will definitely not be able to play now, so the coach still insists on arranging such tactics, the purpose of which is just to allow the team to increase passing, one of the important points is the transmission of the left and right side transitions.

This is the only threat to Chelsea.

The Chelsea defence will be a little bit struggling to keep up when the team transitions between left and right, and there will be a time gap between that, which the coach stressed at half-time.

So Morris noticed.

He found that Yiqiē and the coach said the same.

This gives Morris even more confidence that he knows what he has to do, which is to try his best to seize the time gap and find opportunities for the team! (To be continued......)
