After the victory over Norwich, Wansheng has been thinking about these things, and has been trying to find ways to solve these problems, among the three problems, the most important is to understand the relationship between the content of the system task and the training of real players to improve their ability, and solve this problem, the team's training effect can naturally be greatly improved.

That's the key to solving all problems.

But it is not easy to solve this problem, it requires a lot of professional knowledge, Wan Sheng went to the library, and found all kinds of materials on the Internet, using the knowledge in his mind, and these related materials, he found some key factors, but it is still very difficult to understand them all.

Wansheng majored in sports science at university, and what he is doing now is also the content of sports science, and his grades are very good, and perhaps because of this, he plans to explore all the qiΔ“.

Exercise science is a new discipline that was developed in the 21st century after being conceived and discussed by relevant experts in 1997 on the basis of the original discipline catalog, and this field is a new discipline that has only developed in the 21st century.

Wan Sheng studied many professional subjects in college, such as anatomy, exercise physiology, sports biomechanics, sports biochemistry, sports rehabilitation and sports medicine, etc., as a new discipline, it is not easy to get a degree in sports science.

Wansheng's results are also quite good.

He had always felt that he had reached the top level in the world in the field of sports science, but when faced with this new problem, he suddenly felt a lack of knowledge.

After a long time of research and thinking, Wan Sheng couldn't solve the problem, and he suddenly felt that he might need to go back to university to study, and it didn't matter if he could get a degree or not. It was important for him to find a solution to the problem, which could only be found with a more advanced and specialized knowledge of sports science.

When this idea came to mind, Wansheng felt taken for granted and also felt weird.

In the past, he would never be like this, and in the face of unsolvable problems, he would try hard, but he would never be so persistent.

He felt that the memory of 'Former Wan Sheng' had taken its toll on him.

But that's a good influence.

Wan Sheng feels that this idea is still very solid, and the key is that he has to solve this problem so that his coaching level will really improve. He will also have a deeper understanding of the soccer trainer system.

Now that the team is in a stable period, he does have time to study once in a while, and it is a good choice to return to University College London for further study.

So Wan Sheng picked up the phone and found a number in the contact - Professor Ben Hawkhua.

Professor Ben Hockwald has always admired Wan Sheng, and when Wan Sheng was about to graduate, he always wanted Wan Sheng to become his graduate student, but in the end, Wan Sheng still embarked on the path of pursuing football coaching, and did not choose to continue his studies at University College London.

Wan Sheng looked at the number and hesitated for a moment. I dialed it anyway.

Ben Hawk was very impressed by Wan Sheng, he has always kept Wan Sheng's mobile phone number, and not only because of this, but a reporter came to interview him some time ago. Ask about Wansheng.

He has always found it incredible that Wan Sheng chose to become a football coach.

"Wan Sheng is a natural researcher, he has a brain that can win the Nobel Prize! He's sure to be a genius in sports science! Ben Hockwald has always been very sure of this, and he regrets that Wansheng did not choose to continue his studies at the academy, otherwise his students would have won a Nobel Prize. When I talk to people in the future, he also has a light on his face.

He didn't expect Wan Sheng to take the initiative to call him and talk about returning to University College London for further study.

"Wan Sheng. You've finally figured it out and quit, haven't you? Ben Hockwald asked in surprise.

Wan Sheng rolled his eyes, even if he had an impression in his memory, he still felt very strange when he heard Ben Hawkhua suddenly say such a sentence, "I'm sorry, Ben, I just want to study some kinesiology subjects." ”

"You're going to get a degree?" Ben Hockwalt asked, not quite understanding.

"No, no, no." Wan Sheng said, "I just have a problem that I can't solve...... Of course, I'm sure you can't fix it either, so I'm going to find out the reason myself. ”

"You're really welcome!" Ben Hawk laughed, "It's true that if you can't solve the problem, I think it will be difficult for me to solve it, but if you tell me what the problem is, I think I can provide you with some suitable suggestions." ”

Wan Sheng pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "I want to know the scientific relationship between my players doing specific training and a certain skill improvement. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Ben Hawkwald rolled his eyes and held back for a long time before he said loudly, "What are you kidding!" This is definitely a cross-generational study, and if you ask me this question in another twenty years, I will definitely build it for you...... But forget it now, it's too complicated, I think you should go to Dr. Dave. ”

Dr. Dave is a Professor of Psychology at University College London.

Wan Sheng said to himself suspiciously, "This is also related to psychology...... However, the mentality of the players can also determine the training effect, and the quality of the mentality can also affect the body's resistance to some diseases, so it may also affect the training effect of the players. ”

"No, no, no!" Ben Hawkwald said three 'no's in a row, and then said, "I'm JianyΓ¬, you go to Dr. Dave to see the psychological problem, he is an expert in this area, much better than those low-level psychiatrists outside." By the way, he seems to be working part-time as a psychiatrist. ”

"Ben, is this a mockery?"

"No, Wan Sheng, I think it's impossible to study your question thoroughly in the short term." Ben Hawkwald said directly.

Wan Sheng rolled his eyes, "But I want to do some research." ”

"Okay, Wan Sheng, anyway, this is your progress, and you're finally willing to return to being a researcher in sports science. If you want to study at University College London, I can give you a place in my name for postgraduate studies, and I hope you can come a few more times when you have time. It's good to help me make some real yΓ n......"

"Thanks, Ben!" Wan Sheng said from the bottom of his heart.

"You're welcome, but you're still going to have some exams......"

"That's not a problem at all."

"Of course, I like you this, Wansheng, you are really confident, and you have the capital of self-confidence." Ben Hawkewald said, "But I still recommend that you resign from that little football club, and this kind of job as a football coach is an insult to your ability." Even if you are successful, scientific research is what you should do, if you can go back and concentrate on research, I think within ten years, you will definitely win the Nobel Prize, you know, I am very optimistic about you, I can also apply for some research funding for you, these are not a problem......"

"Alright, alright. Ben, so be it! I'll call you again when I get to University College London......"

Wan Sheng really couldn't stand the chatter, and hung up the point decisively.

He looked at his phone and stuck out his tongue. He muttered to himself, "It's really the same as I remember." ”

……

In the sixteenth round of the English League, Derby County hosted Coventry City.

Coventry Football Club was founded in 1883 by a group of cyclists, known as the 'Singers' Club. It was not until 1898 that it was changed to its current name, Coventry City Football Club.

Coventry City has a long history of top-flight competition, in the early sixties. Head coach Hill led the team through three exciting seasons with the support of chairman Derrick Robbins and successfully broke into the English Second Division (now League One) in 1967. In that great season, Coventry went 25 games unbeaten. In the final game, known as the 'Battle of the Midland Century', they beat Wolfhampton 3-1 at home.

Highfield Field saw a record influx of 51,455 fans.

The team ended up winning the league title.

From then on, they spent the next two decades playing in the English top flight. It's just that every year is fighting for relegation, but when the Premier League was formed, due to the financial suppression of small clubs, just like those declining clubs, such as Nottingham Forest, Wolfhampton (Wolves), etc., Coventry City, which is in a small city, has also been greatly affected, and as a result, they have not been relegated to the second league.

Coventry City have been in League One for a few years now, and they are still fighting for relegation every year, the difference is that 10 years ago they were relegated from the top flight, and now they are relegated from League One, which is the second division of England.

Last season, Gary McAllister coached Coventry, and at the beginning of his tenure, he planned to lead Coventry back to the top league within three years, but a year later, most people now think that Gary McAllister is just talking on paper, and his three-year plan is really a bit unreliable, mainly because Coventry has not risen under his leadership, but has dropped a lot.

Last season they were fifth from bottom in the league and barely managed to complete relegation, and this season they are currently third from bottom in the league and have really fallen into the relegation circle.

So Gary McAllister's position is in jeopardy.

However, no one expected that before the match against Derby, Gary McAllister appeared to be full of fighting spirit at the press conference, "We are now in the toughest moment, we are fighting for relegation, we can't fail!" So we will do our best to win! ”

'Derby are strong, they're top of the league but we're fighting for survival so we're going to win for sure!'

This passage was originally sued by the reporter for Wan Sheng.

Wan Sheng just pouted and smiled, "He's going to win at Pride Stadium?" It's really interesting, I think the game will be interesting, and I hope he can succeed......" Anyone can hear the irony in Wansheng's words.

In fact, by now, Wan Sheng has long since stopped caring about the 'provocation' of these small teams, because the media will speak to Derby County.

It's like at the end of last season.

When Wan Sheng just became the manager of Derby County and declared before the game that he wanted to win against the opponent, every time he was greeted by the distrust and sarcasm of the media reporters, which is the sadness of the small team with no reputation and poor results, because before the game, no matter what you say, you can't show evidence, the media reporters, and even the fans on your own side will distrust you.

That's the case with Derby County and Coventry City now.

Coventry's results have been poor, while Derby County have proven themselves in the league. Coventry City manager Gary McAllister's results are on the line, and how hard will it be for him to beat league top Derby County on the road?

It's hard to imagine.

So when he says something like 'the team is definitely the winner', no one will believe it at all.

To quote the Derbyshire Life, "Gary McAllister thought he had become a winn? Ha ha! ”

Maybe Coventry City fans hope that Gary McAllister can pull off a miracle, but the actual game proves that Gary McAllister is really just a lip service.

At the Pride Stadium, Derby County were in full swing and they laid siege to Coventry's half, and in that kind of siege, Coventry's poor defence simply couldn't stand it.

As a result, only three minutes into the game. Ian Taylor, who started the game, scored a goal to open the scoring for Derby County.

And that's just the beginning.

Coventry tried to attack after conceding the goal, but what happened next told them that it was unwise to play against Derby, their formation was immediately pressed back, and Derby County also had a wave of counter-attacks that caught Coventry off guard, only for captain Marcus to follow up with a header for the team to score the second goal.

After conceding two goals in a row in the opening period, Gary McAllister finally knew it would be difficult to beat Derby County at Pride Stadium. He seemed to accept the reality and anxiously shouted from the sidelines to keep his team firmly defensive.

Coventry's defence was a lot more solid, but they played a more passive game throughout the first half. The number of times they have kicked the ball across the halfway line is very small.

On the other hand, the whole Derby County team is cheering on by the fans, and the offense is more and more beautiful every time.

Belko Krysman even laughingly commented, "It's totally a two-division match!" ”

The only thing worth 'reassuring' is. Coventry did not concede more goals in the first half.

The start of the second half proved that Coventry City boss Gary McAllister still didn't give up on the game, perhaps as he himself said. It's time for them to fight for survival, so they can't let go of any chance, they will work hard to survive and will never give up...... In short, Coventry City launched a big attack at the start of the second half, and Derby County was kicked a little scrambled for a while, and Coventry got the best chance of the game, which was a shot directly in front of the goalkeeper about nine meters in front of goal, but Coventry City striker Mesfield obviously forgot his shooting boots at home, and his shot went straight to the fan stands.

The on-site commentator Alfei's explanation for the shot was, "Mesfil is always afraid that his girlfriend is pregnant, so he always kicks high ...... the goal" This joke made many fans in the spectator stands laugh.

As the clock ticked down, Derby County eased up, using their running to press and quickly regain their groove, with their front-court players shooting much more accurately.

In the 57th minute, Cahill received a return pass from Taylor and knocked on the door of Coventry for Derby County for the third time with a long-range shot.

Just three minutes later, Taylor slotted in the near corner to finish his second goal of the game.

After this goal, Wan Sheng replaced Taylor with Peschi Solido, and when Taylor came off the field, he received a collective applause from the Derby County fans in the stands, and his two goals and the wonderful performance of the whole game made the Derby County fans quite excited, excited, happy and cheered.

In the final minute of the game, Peschisolido took advantage of a corner kick opportunity and fought for position, and he impulsively headed the ball into the goal and scored the last goal of the game.

5:0, Derby County ushered in a big victory!

It was Derby's seventh win against Nottingham Forest, and the seventh since Wansheng's return from the last suspension.

There was a lot of talk about the Derby winning streak that night, and the 'seven wins in a row' is still very attractive, and there are very few teams that can play like this now, even in League One, after all, it is seven league wins, and this one is a '5-0' victory, which is also very rare in League One.

Of course, it's also very rare for Coventry to lose five goals.

Coventry fans were quite dissatisfied with the team's results, and before the game, Gary McAllister also said that he wanted to beat Derby County, but he lost directly '5:0', and even the local media in Coventry raised questioning voices, "Can McAllister be more embarrassed?" ”

The next day, Coventry's official website announced that they had dismissed Gary McAllister as head coach, and the team's previous assistant coach Eric Black would take over Gary McAllister's position as Coventry's head coach, perhaps to increase the confidence of fans, and Coventry also highlighted on the official website that Eric Black was once a disciple of Ferguson.

But whatever happens to Eric Black, Gary McAllister is certainly a tragedy.

After reading this news, Wan Sheng can only say sorry to Gary McAllister in his heart, maybe Gary McAllister will be fired sooner or later, but if there is no big defeat with Derby, it is estimated that the time will be later, but professional football is like this, there are always winners and losers in the game, and it is impossible for everyone to succeed as a head coach, and there are always more than half of the head coaches who will not lead the team to achieve satisfactory results.

But now that Wan Sheng is the winner, Gary McAllister can only be the loser.

Wan Sheng just laughed at the news.

When the media reported on Coventry's change of manager and the results of the 16th round of League One, Wan Sheng had already taken advantage of the player's vacation to come to University College London.

He came to Professor Ben Hockwald to ask about some job enrollment matters in person, and he could also ask Ben Hockwalt to help him by the way, so that he could go to some courses in advance, which might be of great help to him solve the problem.
