? Before Derby County and Chelsea played, both teams were very concerned. Some small news has also been disclosed by major media. The news that Derby County can affect the game is about player injuries and suspensions.
Derby County player to be suspended is Leon Osman.
After playing against Liverpool, Ottoman has accumulated five yellow cards. According to the Football Association ’s red and yellow card accumulation rules, the Derby County Club has appealed, but the appeal will obviously have no result, because defensive players like Osman, in Eating cards in the game is commonplace. As a result, in this round of Chelsea, Osman suffered a suspension.
Fortunately, other teams do not have this problem. Derby County has the most yellow cards this season. It is Ottoman. The most other players are only two of Alfred, which is still far from the five suspension rules.
Another player who can't play is Vidic.
Wandic didn't care much about Vidic's injury. Although Vidic's strength was good, it was not an indispensable player of the team. Especially after Marcus paid for his injury, even if Vidic was not injured, whether He has to think about starting.
However, Vidic ’s injury reminded Wansheng of some things. The time has entered November. It is the stage of frequent injuries around Christmas. Winter training always makes players vulnerable, although Derby County still has This problem does not occur, but then Derby County must at least deal with third-line combat, based on the team's bench depth and tactical characteristics. Some injuries and physical problems are definitely inevitable. Even if Wansheng has the recovery method of a football training master, he will not be able to cope with the past. After all, if he wants to win three championships, he must take all competitions seriously. This is a tough test for Derbyshire.
Of course, the most important thing for the team at present is to deal with the game in front of them.
Compared to Derbyshire, Chelsea's situation is actually worse, thinking that the two teams before the game is the international match day, which is not good news for Chelsea, or to say. It is not good news for all the Premier League giants, such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, etc., because there are too many national team players in their lineup.
"A-class match-day syndrome" is by no means an unfamiliar word in England, which means a brutal "fatigue period" for Chelsea.
This is the third time this season.
There are a lot of main players in Chelsea who want to participate in international competitions, and not only physical strength but more attention is lost on the international competition day, after the players return to the club. It is difficult to fully recover the energy. In comparison, Derbyshire is much better, because even now. There are not many players who can enter the national team. Apart from Rafael Van der Vaart, Vidic and Karachi, there are no other players, and even these three players. They are also substitutes for their respective national teams, and the main lineup of Derby County, such as Bolton Reit, Alfred, Morris and others. None of them have entered the England national team. For this, Wan Sheng lamented that the English players are good. He has many outstanding players under his leadership, but none of them can enter the England national team.
This is really great!
However, in an interview with the media, Wan Sheng also used this to satire the unsatisfied England coach Eriksson, "Game time is beneficial to us. We have many excellent players, but none of them can enter the country. Team, this is really interesting, the second team in the league, there is not a national team player, haha "
Wan Sheng did not mention the name, but all reporters understood what he meant.
When the media reported Wan Sheng's words as they were, the England coach Eriksson, who was lying on the gun, couldn't sit still. He was annoyed, "Derby players? The best of them are the Dutch! Yes French! I do n’t see any national players from them that are eligible to join my team! "
This counterattack is very sharp. The meaning of it is naturally ‘Derby County played a good result. It is because of Ribery, Van der Vaart and others. The native English players in the team have little strength’.
Quickly defeated Wan Sheng self-deprecatingly, "Several of my players were nominated for‘ England Football New Player of the Year ’, but they are not eligible to enter the national team.
'England's best rookie of the year', this award is specifically set for the local players in England. Naturally, only the top league newcomers can be nominated. There are many young players in the Derby County team, Leiden Bynes , Bolton Reiter, Alfred and other native English players are all very young and are all participating in the Premier League for the first time. They were nominated for this award.
The results of the selection are still unknown, but what is certain is that young players who can enter the competition for this award are likely or have already entered the England team.
Several of the players were nominated, but none of them entered the England team. Wan Sheng was very dissatisfied with Erickson while he was thankful that the team did not have the so-called "A-level game syndrome". Well, if there is such a thing, Wansheng will naturally not show mercy to Erikson, "Look at his players, David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Husky, Scot All of them are big stars, which may be the reason for his team's poor performance. "
Finally, Wan Sheng sneered. "Of course, if he doesn't do this, it will be difficult to stay in the position of the head coach of the England team."
Although Wansheng did not say anything in detail, what did the media reporter do? They are absolutely professional in interpreting the ‘connotation’. Wansheng is just a few words, and they fully understand the meaning.
Obviously Wansheng means that Eriksson can still sit in the position of the coach of the England team under the condition of poor team performance, which is inseparable from the support of the team stars, and Eriksson For the England team, the lineup has changed little in two years.
Beckham played well in Real Madrid, but he can enter the England team every time, and Michael Owen, who left Liverpool to Real Madrid in the summer, also had a glance. He even has few chances to play in La Liga. However, three international match days this season, Irving is on the England roster. The other players do not list them one by one. They have good performances and poor performances, but they Can enter the England team, famous stars always get a starting opportunity, like Beckham, more than once the English media criticized Beckham's performance. But he can always start in the England team, and whenever Eriksson encounters a crisis, Beckham will stand up to support Eriksson, as do other players on the team, the two are combined. It is thought-provoking.
Of course, Wansheng and Eriksson ’s war of words will not attack the players, he just talks about things, the English media will not attack his players, and then all the targets against it become Swedes.
Wan Sheng's statement still resonates a lot.
Many English media and fans are dissatisfied with Eriksson. The most important thing is that Eriksson's leading performance is unsatisfactory. The style of football he played only allowed the prestigious England team to gain an evaluation-rough technology, under such circumstances. It is strange that the media and fans are satisfied with Eriksson.
So around the international A-level competition day, a new round of attacks on Eriksson began.
In this situation, Wan Sheng, who was the initiator, turned down the key and made the team prepare for the game seriously. As he told the media, the time between Derby and Chelsea is still good for Derby. After the international A-level competition day, Chelsea's state will certainly be somewhat affected, which also gives Derbyshire more chances to win.
However, Wan Sheng still has no certainty about the game.
However, in the pre-match press conference, Wan Sheng showed full confidence, "Chelsea is a tough opponent, and it is the same for all teams. We are naturally no exception, but I think that after this game, the Premier League The top position should be changed! "
When he said that, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho was walking into the press conference.
He was wearing a black suit with a calm expression on his face and a confident smile on the corner of his mouth. When Mourinho walked in, the various cameras at the venue immediately pointed to him. For the media, Mourinho was Bi Wansheng is indeed a better interview, because Mourinho's big mouth can always break the news.
Sure enough, Mourinho talked about the game ‘without disappointment,’ just like the remarks just about Wan Sheng, he directly talked about the result of the game.
"I'm here to take away three points!"
"The team is ready for the ninth victory!"
"I am very happy to meet Derbyshire, they have achieved five consecutive victories, before I was still thinking, how can we open the gap between points, now we only need to defeat them personally!"
""
When Mourinho said these words, Wan Sheng was standing on the diagonal seat, and he was also surrounded by reporters. Mourinho said to the microphone, it was like announcing something, saying Wan also nodded provocatively towards Wansheng. In that way, Wansheng finally knew why almost all the coaches of the Premier League did not like this guy very much. He really showed no mercy and said in his own face Want to beat Derbyshire?
Wan Sheng smiled at Mourinho. Some media that supported Chelsea understood this as fear, but what Wan Sheng said next, they let them know that their ideas were wrong, "Mr. Mourinho said Winning here? I'd like to see why Chelsea won! "
Mourinho stood up and said in the direction of Wan Sheng, "Why win? Our players are stronger and my team is stronger! Derby County's performance is very good, but defense is their biggest weakness. , I will prove it in the game! "
"Listen to many people talking about Chelsea's conservatism, they will only defend, so I will also prove in this game that Chelsea's defense is vulnerable to Derby County!"
Wan Sheng's words were correct.
"Can't withstand a blow? Are you talking about Derbyshire?" Mourinho retorted.
"Of course it is Chelsea!"
"We only lost 4 goals in the 13th round of the league, and you lost 13 goals, one on average. Who is unbearable?" Mourinho seems to be planning to speak with statistics.
Wan Sheng immediately retorted, "But we scored 36 goals, an average of 3 goals, and you only scored 27 goals in 13 league games?"
""
The next reporters on the stage watched the two head coaches arguing with each other regardless of their manners. Immediately they were excited. This is really more powerful news than the game itself. Just shooting this scene and putting it in the news report will attract the interest of many fans.
In addition, they also admire the two head coaches quite.
These data can not be casually stated, which shows that both coaches have a lot of preparations for the game, and have a lot of understanding of the other side, otherwise they will not open their mouths.
Although the game has not yet started, the media reporters are already looking forward to a great battle
The hottest topic before the game was the dispute between Wan Sheng and Mourinho at the press conference venue. After the press conference, many people discussed the topic with great interest. However, the two will then leave and return to their locker rooms to prepare for the game.
Mourinho showed confidence in winning at the press conference, but in fact, he will not underestimate the game. Derbyshire is a newly promoted horse, but he can "dark horse" to the league and rank second in the 13th round. It cannot be done by ordinary 'dark horses'.
He will not underestimate his opponent.
Before the game, Mourinho conducted an in-depth study of Derby County, studied the tactics of Derby County, and studied the game video of Derby County. He was surprised by the tactics used by Derbyshire. That kind of tactics is definitely not suitable for the general team, and it is not suitable for a short time. Derbyshire can simply do this. And playing the results that appear, Mourinho is quite admired for this.
He has long admitted that Wansheng is a strong opponent.
It is because of placing Wan Sheng on the level of opponents of the same level that Mourinho will face Wan Sheng before the game. Otherwise, a guy who is not an opponent of the same level is still so young. He doesn't care.
But he still has confidence in the game.
Or more importantly, he has confidence in the current Chelsea. Chelsea has a complete lineup and many players have played well. He believes that playing head-to-head will make it difficult for Derby County to win. Despite this, Mourinho decided to focus on stability. After all, anything can happen in the football field, so before the game he emphasizes defense more.
"The other party's offense is very strong, we need a solid line of defense"
A few minutes before the game, Mourinho continued to emphasize defense in the locker room. Chelsea players have long been accustomed to this coaching rhetoric. In fact, despite many games, Chelsea have scored many goals. But their tactical focus is still defense. The 433 formation they are used to is still based on defense. In many games, even in the face of teams with weaker strength, they will choose to defend defensively and then attack.
This is also the origin of a lot of ‘1: 0’ and the English media ’s criticism of Mourinho ’s ‘conservative utilitarianism’.
At the same time, Wan Sheng was doing the same job as Mourinho in the home team locker room.
At the press conference before the game, he and Mourinho tit-for-tat, proposed that the Chelsea defense line was "weak", but in fact, it was purely an argument. In treating the game, he will not let the team attack aggressively to prove What you say is purely 'brain-disability' behavior. In order to grasp the victory, defense is necessary.
Chelsea's tactical center of gravity is defense, and Derbyshire's tactical center of gravity is also defense!
As long as the team is weaker than yourself, Wan Sheng will let the team let go offensively, so that it is easier to win, while the team that is stronger than yourself, 'OS-Fast' will use another style Now, that is, a solid defense slowly seeks offense and counterattack.
Even if scoring is not easy, it is also not easy for opponents to score.
In the fight for victory, to ensure that his goal is not lost, more important than scoring, Mourinho understands this truth, Wan Sheng also understands.
"Always pay attention to defense!"
"Don't push the formation too far, especially the opening, don't give them any chance!"
"Pay more attention to position, especially players in the backcourt!"
""
Waited for Wan Sheng and Mourinho to finish their orders, the time was almost running, and soon the two teams appeared in the Pride Stadium. With the whistle of the referee, the whole game was officially launched.
This game was overcrowded at Pride Stadium.
There were 20,000 Derbyshire fans at the scene, and more than 5,000 Chelsea fans who came to watch the game in the big Derbyshire town. Fans from both sides hope that their team will win. The result of the game is very important. Not only is it a victory, but it can also determine the top position in the Premier League.
If Derby County wins, they will have the same points as Chelsea. It is possible to squeeze out Chelsea's top position with a goal difference. Although the two teams have 2 goal difference, but Derby County can win by at least one more goal difference. The difference between the two goals is not large, so it is still possible for Derbyshire to occupy the top spot in the Premier League.
Chelsea's victory will widen the points gap, Derby County may be overtaken by Manchester United and fall into the league third.
This is a battle related to the top three rankings in the league. The media attaches great importance to the game, and the fans of the two teams also pay attention to it. There are also many neutral fans on the scene. They also came to watch the contest of the top ranking. ~ Www. novelhall.com ~ For neutral fans, it is naturally for the splendor of the game.
The media also hope that the game is very exciting, so as to attract the attention of fans.
"Derby County meets Chelsea, this will be a wonderful battle!" When the game started, many commentators said excitedly, all media and fans were also looking forward to this wonderful confrontation.
When the game opened, everyone was disappointed
Both teams chose a solid defense in the opening. The offensive aspect is also based on temptation. Football spends more time passing near the center line. There is no wonderful cooperation, no threat of attack, and almost no shots.
This is true 15 minutes before the game.
The two teams did n’t seem to be eager to attack, and the fight was not fierce. More players on both sides shrank in their own half, and the midfield became the main venue for the two sides. However, no offense is equal to no excitement. sleep.
Many fans even regret to watch the game (to be continued ...)
