v3 Chapter 100： Alkmaar

In the league this weekend, Derbyshire played against Birmingham at home, and Birmingham is also an old opponent.

In March last year, Derbyshire was seriously dealing with the game against Birmingham. It was in the FA Cup. Birmingham was a very strong opponent for Derbyshire. The team spent a long time on training and sent After all the main starters, and a battle with Birmingham, they eliminated Birmingham to advance to the next round of the FA Cup.

In the first half of the schedule, Derbyshire also played against Birmingham, and the team prepared for that game for two days.

Both games against Derbyshire have won, but the preparation for the game also shows that Birmingham is a serious opponent, but it is different now.

When meeting Birmingham's opponent, the team did not feel a little nervous.

For Derbyshire players, Birmingham has become an ordinary opponent. Even some players feel that they don't need to prepare for the game at all. They only need to play when the time comes, and the team is enough to win.

This idea is a little careless and threatening in the world of football, but in fact, Wan Sheng thinks so.

Only 38 games in the league, plus two cups and European competitions, the team has to deal with too many games, it is impossible to prepare for every game carefully, and Birmingham is not included in the need A serious opponent.

This illustrates the improvement of the team.

Derbyshire is no longer the former second-tier league team, nor is it the ordinary Premier League promotion team. Now the team is also a top team in the Premier League. It can completely break the wrist with Chelsea, Manchester United and other strong teams, and Not yet at a disadvantage.

The team is improving, but the opponent is not improving, so it has the current result-the face of Birmingham this Premier League powerhouse, the team is not a little nervous.

The two teams met again, and Wan Sheng also performed quite easily.

At the pre-match press conference, Wan Sheng smiled at the media, "If I want to say, we have made a lot of preparations for the game. If you want to come, you will also believe ... but we will win the final victory, I believe My player. "

Birmingham coach Bruce was angrily speechless, but in fact, he said nothing important. The most important thing is that his leading performance is not good. So far, Birmingham is ranked 16th in the league, almost entering the relegation circle, which makes Bruce's coaching position precarious.

The only thing he can do is hold his breath and try to get points in the game.

Wan Sheng didn't care about Bruce's idea.

Actually. The two are unfamiliar but still know each other, but now they are opponents, so there is nothing to say. The two represent two teams and naturally there is no personal relationship to talk about.

Now that the two teams are not at the same level, Wan Sheng cannot say these things at all.

In the past, it was the coaches of other teams who came to the arrogant Derby County at the Pride Stadium, and now it is his turn to express contempt for the coming team on behalf of Derby County.

China has a good saying, ‘Feng Shui turns’. Strength is reality.

The results of the arrogance and disdain are also different. In the two years of coaching Wansheng, after many other team coaches did this, they all tasted the bitter fruit of being slapped.

Bruce also wanted to make a slap, but unfortunately his team did not have this strength.

...

In the match against Birmingham, Wan Sheng did not let Ribery, Alfred and Leighton Bynes appear. This is a certain rotation for him to let the three men rest for one round in preparation for the next UEFA Cup game.

Ribery can be replaced by Roussie, and Leiden Bynes is also in Lichsteiner. Alfred is even easier. Whether Vidic or Marcus, their strength and condition are very good.

Although Derbyshire did not send all the main force, they still played an ‘is-fast’ offensive momentum at home.

Derbyshire suppressed Birmingham. And the wonderful condition of Bolton Reit scored for the team early, also made the game without any suspense.

There were no twists and turns in the game, the goal was smooth, and the opponent did not have the slightest resistance. These three sentences are enough to describe the game.

3: 0, Derbyshire easily won Birmingham.

Wait for the game to end. Wan Sheng looked at the stadium and thought about the team's progress over the past year. He felt a lot of sighs in his heart. He knew that this team has really become a strong team.

But the weak team has the goal of the weak team, and the strong team has the trouble of the strong team.

For a team like Birmingham, it is their goal to complete the relegation, they will be ecstatic about this, and Derbyshire needs to fight for the championship. If they ca n’t get another championship, let alone a player, even he will be very dissatisfied.

Because the goal is greater, the pressure is also greater.

When the game was over, the team didn't even bother to celebrate the victory and went straight back to the club. Wansheng announced the team's dissolution and gave the players a day off.

The current holiday is absolutely precious, and can even be described as luxury.

Derbyshire has come to the point of being extravagant on a holiday day.

...

After playing the league with Birmingham, Derbyshire ushered in the UEFA Cup opponent-Alkmaar.

This is a Dutch team, the history is very short, but the results are very good, they even have the ability to compete with Eindhoven for the Dutch League championship.

For this team, Derby County still has to seriously prepare for the game.

Wan Sheng requires that everyone must look squarely at the game and prepare for it seriously. At his request, the team's training has become more serious.

But on the contrary, the media did not look forward to Alkmaar. The English media commented that this team was the 16th UEFA Cup squeezed by luck. It can also be said that the dark horse in the UEFA Cup encountered this. Opponent, Derby County made it to the quarterfinals.

Wan Sheng scoffed at these comments.

Eindhoven is not a weak team, but they are all about to monopolize the Dutch First Division champion. Will the team that can compete with Eindhoven be a weak team?

These are just a matter of thinking.

However, he also understands the ideas of the media. In the eyes of the media, fame may be more important than strength. For example, Real Madrid, their entire team is a big-name star and one of the most famous clubs in Europe. All over the world, so despite the fact that Real Madrid have not performed well in the last two seasons, they are still one of the most powerful contenders in the European Championship each year.

Alkmaar is the opposite.

This is just an emerging Dutch powerhouse. It is not well-known in Europe, and cannot be compared with Ajax and Eindhoven, so the media naturally think that they are weak travelers.

Before the game, Wansheng asked everyone to pay great attention to their opponents. Don't listen to what the media says.

But he knew that just talking about it, the players would also think that the coach only pays attention to the game. Really speaking of Alkmaar, they don't think it will be a strong team, even Diamares thinks so. Privately, he discussed with Wan Sheng, "I think we should pay more attention to the next game with Chelsea. This time it will be better to send a substitute lineup. Anyway, even if you lose, there is still a chance for the next round."

Wan Sheng looked at Diamares and said nothing.

Diamares's idea also represents the idea of ​​the rest of the team, but Wan Sheng still feels that he has to deal with it seriously, because he wants to fight for the UEFA Cup, if there is any accident. In the second round, it will be difficult to recover again, after all, the second round is going to the Netherlands.

But Wansheng has done everything he can do. He can only hope that Alkmaar is really like the media said, but it is a weak team, not a strong team.

But he was disappointed.

When the two teams actually fought together, Derbyshire players also knew the difficulty of the opponent.

Alkmaar's strength is not weak, their defense is very solid, the offense also has a great Dutch color, sometimes it seems very rigid, sometimes it is a bit empty.

It's a bit difficult to understand. Specifically, Alkmaar's offense is often unexpected, especially the long pass conversion on the left and right. Derby County's defense was a bit caught off guard.

As a result, in the eleventh minute of the opening, Alkmaar seized an opportunity to put the ball into the goal.

0: 1.

The goal was pretty beautiful, and it also made Derbyshire fans feel incredible. They simply looked down on Alkmaar and thought it was just a weak player. But Alkmaar scored a goal so quickly.

This is an away goal.

In the two rounds, the away goal is very important. Alkmaar has this goal. Even if Derby County scores two goals next time, it is equal to losing the game because Alkmaar returned to the home Only one 1: 0 is enough to eliminate Derbyshire.

Next, Derbyshire frequently organized attacks to try to tie the score, but Alkmaar's defense was tight throughout the first half.

Soon it entered the intermission.

In the Derbyshire locker room, Wan Sheng looked at all the players seriously. Every player who had been swept by his eyes could not help but bow his head, his face full of anxiety.

Wan Sheng repeatedly asked them to seriously deal with the game before the game, but many players did not perform well. Obviously this is directly related to their mentality. They did not face their opponents and were caught off guard by their opponents. Their state was naturally affected. When there are several players on the team, the performance of the entire team is affected.

In the first half, the team simply failed to play any advantage-behind the score, there is no suppression in the game.

"Now do you know what kind of opponent this is !?"

Wan Sheng's question-like opening, no one answered, even Diamares bowed his head embarrassedly. Before the game, he also persuaded Wan Sheng to send a bench lineup, which is almost behind the main lineup. A ball.

Wan Sheng stared at everyone seriously and said, "I don't want to criticize any of you, nor do I want to talk about the first half of the game, but I hope to see that you can return to normal in the second half!"

Wan Sheng didn't say anything, he knew that the players knew that the opponent was difficult enough.

If the opponents all show strength, and they still make the mistake of carelessness, then it ’s not careless, it ’s purely in a bad state. Of course, he does n’t mind replacing these players. When the team was about to return to the court, Wan Sheng emphasized this point again, "I have three substitution places in my hand, I don't mind using them all in a while!"

"People who have been replaced will not have to play next time!"

Wan Sheng said loudly.

When is the next time? There is no need to talk about it at all. Everyone in the team knows that it is the team's next game against Chelsea. The match between League One and League Two is enough to attract the attention of most fans in England.

Fans who follow the Premier League throughout Europe and even the world are likely to follow the game. I do n’t know how many domestic and foreign TV stations will broadcast the game live.

No player would not want to play in such a big game.

So everyone in the team is pushing hard to perform well, otherwise, if they are replaced, it is shameful not to say ... I will really lose money! (To be continued.)

.... easy. Look. Small. Say.
