Chapter Seventy-Five: It's Derbyshire's Turn to Attack!
The media has been talking about Leiton-Baines's appearance, and at the same time, Wansheng is also paying attention to Baines's appearance, or rather, he is paying attention to the defense of the entire team.
The game has been going on for almost twenty minutes.
For 20 minutes, it was mostly Norwich who were attacking, and it must be admitted that they suppressed Derby County at home, Wan Sheng had been worried since the start of the game, but seeing that the team withstood the pressure and did not concede a goal until now, he was very satisfied with the team's defensive performance.
Now the game against Norwich is a game, a struggle between pressing and counter-suppressing, Norwich have been attacking for 20 minutes in a row, and it will be difficult for them to continue if they don't score.
No team can play a whole game.
Norwich will have to slow down for a while, and that time may be the chance for Derby, they have to regain their game, they can't hold Norwich down, it's not easy to be effective in attack, and it's probably more about luck.
Wansheng wants victory in his hands, not luck to win the game.
You can win one or two games by luck, but when you're unlucky, you can lose directly, he doesn't like to lose, and even if he loses, there must be a reason, not just because the team is unlucky.
However, the team was able to withstand the pressure for 20 minutes, and Wan Sheng was already very satisfied, he believed in his tactics and the players on the pitch.
Before the game, many people said that this Derby County is 'young', and it is difficult for a 'young' team to beat a 'mature' team like Norwich, and young teams are also prone to make mistakes, which means that Derby County has relied on young momentum to play to the top of the league now, but sooner or later they will fall from the first place in the league because of the 'young' results, and even fall a lot.
In short, the mass media is not optimistic about Derbyshire.
Wan Sheng knew what it was. It's not that I'm at odds with the media, but the most important thing is that Derbyshire's success has been unexpected.
In the summer, the media commented on the 24 teams in League One, and Derby County were included in the ranks of 'fighting for relegation', and the results of Derby County were quite good, with consecutive victories putting the team at the top of the league, and even squeezing out West Bromwich Albion and Norwich to become the top of the league.
This kind of result surprised the media and fans alike.
But they couldn't figure out why Derby County was successful, so they started looking for reasons and they found a lot. 'Luck', 'manager', 'youth', etc., these are the reasons they found, but until now they are still unwilling to accept the reality that Derby County has become a strong team, so they will continue to question Derby County.
This match is Wan Sheng's chance for them to face reality.
Norwich are the best looking team in the league other than Derby, or arguably better than Derby because they are unbeaten in 14 games and are a strong team to take seriously.
If Derby can beat Norwich City at Carrow Road, can anyone question anything about Derby County anymore?
on the playing field. Derby County and Norwich are in a battle for suppression and counter-suppression.
In the first 20 minutes, Norwich had the advantage of possession, formation, threat to goal, etc., and they did more and better than Derby County. But that doesn't mean they're attacking and Derby are defending, in fact, the two teams are attacking and defending each other. It's just that Norwich are doing better, threatening more, and are somewhat pressing Derby County in the situation. Derby County also have a lot less attacking threat, and as a result, the best guide in Derby County is actually full-back Leighton Baines.
Layton Bynes is a young player brought in by Wansheng from Wigan Athletic, when he was at Wigan Athletic, he was only promoted from the youth team to the first team, and there were only a few substitute appearances in the second half of the schedule, and he was still a supplement to the bench, a complete fringe player.
As a result, he came to Derby County, and Bynes directly played the main team.
Baines can directly play the main team, and there is no doubt that it is inseparable from Wansheng's trust, so Baines has a lot of respect for Wansheng and is determined to repay the head coach with his watch.
Baines has been trying to adapt to the new tactics with his team-mates, and as a full-back, his role in the attack of the new tactics is to start and complement the attack.
Although his role in the attack is not as good as that of the frontcourt players, Baines has a thorough understanding of tactics, and he knows that what the team needs at the moment is to suppress the opponent in turn, and use the overall suppressive advantage of the tactics to play a real offensive competition with the opponent.
Norwich on the field, the pace of attack gradually slowed down.
They have been attacking for more than 20 minutes in a row, and they are indeed a little tired, especially if they don't score for a long time, that kind of mental exhaustion is also very boring, if you want to score goals, it is not a simple attack, they have to adjust the rhythm of the attack, this is not what they do tactically, but they will do it unconsciously in the game.
Just like now, they have to slow down a little bit of attack, otherwise the attack that has been going forward is likely to give the opponent a chance, and they don't score, they let the opponent score, which is not what they want to see.
Slow down a bit of tempo, stretch the formation and make the pass more penetrating so that their chances are better.
Baines was keenly aware of the change in Norwich's attack.
So in the game, he appropriately adjusted his position forward, whether it was a defensive position or an offensive position, he adjusted a little forward, his adjustment was not fast, not directly running forward a few steps, but according to the whole formation to stand at the forefront of the position.
There are some threats in this adjustment, such as the opponent's penetrating offense, which is likely to be directly penetrated, but Baines did it anyway.
Not just Bynes, Morris soon did the same.
As the core of the team, Morris's understanding of tactics and grasp of the game is by no means comparable to ordinary players, when Norwich slowed down the pace of attack, he quickly realized that this was an opportunity to counter-suppress the opponent, but he did not make adjustments at the first time, because he is the core, his position is quite critical, and everyone else will adjust the formation according to his position, so he is slowly moving forward.
With Morris' position, Derby County quickly moved forward a lot.
Norwich were quick to recognise that and then they moved forward to the Derby half. I want to suppress Derby County again, but at this time it is no longer possible to suppress it by fighting spirit alone, the game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, and the real competition between the two teams has begun, and now it is pure strength.
It didn't take long for Norwich to appreciate the difficulty of Derby's tactics, or rather the difficulty of their pressing all over the field.
At the beginning of the game, relying on fast breakthroughs and the suppression and coordination of the whole formation, they were not hindered much in attack, but when the battle for midfield began, the Norwich players quickly showed the opponent's tactical run. It's a bit too difficult, especially near the halfway line, whenever they get an attack, the opponent seems to be running fast, which makes them have to pass the ball as soon as possible, otherwise they are likely to be directly tackled by the opponent - it turns out that the opposing player's stealing ability is still very good, which may be due to the team's steal training, and Wansheng's coaching skill 'resolute interception' adds to the steal, of course. This is something that no one else knows.
Norwich know that if they don't pass the ball quickly, they can be dangerous in possession, but that's what everyone with the ball thinks. There will be a lot more passes, and at the same time, there will be a lot more mistakes.
A mistake can mean a change in possession. It meant that the offensive initiative was given to Derby County, and they had to retreat to defend.
Derby County and Norwich have competed again and again, and have fought again and again. After confrontation again and again, the fans at the scene soon saw that Norwich was suppressed.
The game was like a flip version of the first twenty minutes.
Derby County are attacking again and again, they occupy the initiative of the game, Norwich will also have an occasional attack, but they can't get into the Derby penalty area at all, whenever they attack, soon the football will return to the feet of the Derby players, in short, Derby County suppressed Norwich.
β¦β¦
The reporters in the media gallery were surprised.
For the first 20 minutes, they had been discussing when Norwich would score, but now many of them are starting to worry about Norwich's goal.
Norwich attacked for more than 20 minutes, but now the situation has turned around, and Derby County have started to attack continuously.
"How so!?"
"Why didn't Norwich attack? Is it to lure Derby County to attack and then prepare for a counter-attack? β
"It must be! How could Derby County suppress Norwich! β
ββ¦β¦β
While there was some self-consolation discussion among the reporters in the media box, the game continued in the 37th minute of the game, when Norwich City took a goal kick and soon the football was handed to right wing-back Mark Revos.
Norwich have always had no advantage in the midfield competition, they have lost the midfield, and it is not easy to break through the halfway line, but when the football reaches the feet of Revos, he also has to face this situation - the guy who keeps running on the other side is coming again!
The guy who keeps running, of course, is Leon Osman, and his defensive task is to keep running, constantly putting pressure on the opposing ball-handler, and looking for opportunities to complete steals.
It worked a lot, at least the Norwich players were a headache for him.
Revos had to deal with this problem, he was going to pass the ball to his team-mates, but in the end he chose to carry the ball himself because he believed more in his feet than in his teammates.
Revos's technology is really good.
This time when Osman posted over, he directly changed direction, Osman was deceived by his movements, and when he reacted and wanted to chase again, Revos had already started, and he was blindfolded forward with the ball quickly, he was reminiscing about the passing just now, and at the same time proud of his superb footwork.
But Revos seems to have overlooked the other Derby County players.
Leyton Baines was right in front of him and came over to defend him, and Revos decided to continue with the ball without even thinking about it, perhaps because after breaking through Baines, he was flat in front of him, and he was likely to find a shot opportunity to cut inside to the middle, and he would be very casual when he wanted to pass the ball, but he quickly realized that the decision was wrong, because the opponent's very good running guy had been following him.
Coupled with Baines, he was closed by a front and back attack.
No matter how good Revos's foot skills are, in the face of Baines and Osman's front and back attacks, there are really not many ways, he tried hard to protect the ball and wanted to find an opportunity to pass the ball to his teammates, but the four feet of the two people in front and back did not leave him any space at all, and the football was directly hooked by Osman with his foot, and Revos wanted to counterattack. Osman kicked Bynes and ran straight forward, Bynes controlled the ball and exchanged two passes with Alfred to leave Revos behind, and then Bynes kicked the ball to the feet of Ribery in front.
β¦β¦
Wansheng has always emphasized the degree of attack.
Franck Ribery is one of the most important attacking players up front, he is valued tactically, his individual technical prowess is excellent, and he knows exactly what he has to do when football is at his feet.
That's to move forward!
Ribery didn't pass the ball to his team-mates. Dribble the ball yourself and break forward.
Norwich has always had an offensive advantage in front, Ribery has not had many chances, and Norwich right full-back Ryan Jarvis who is opposite him does not pay much attention to Ribery, and even said that he does not take Ribery seriously, because he, Ryan Jarvis is the pillar of Norwich's right side defense, and the players who played for Tottenham Hotspur last season are only because the competition at Tottenham Hotspur is too fierce. That's why he moved to Norwich.
Now facing an opponent who is not famous, naturally you don't have to take it too seriously.
Ryan Jarvis met head-on, and he didn't care anymore and just kept up with his usual defense. Then he looked for an opportunity to prepare to complete the steal, but what he didn't expect was that this opponent suddenly changed inward and cut to the middle!
This inward cut made Ryan Jarvis completely shaken away. Unless his waist could be twisted into a twist, it would definitely be too late to turn around and keep up, and as a result, he was shaken lightly.
Seen Ryan Jarvis shaken. The on-site commentator exclaimed, "Derbyshire's left midfielder, yes, the name is ...... Frank Ribery, he shook Ryan ......"
Obviously, the commentator's professionalism was not very good, he couldn't even say Ribery's name at the first time, and he looked down several times before he was sure, but during this time, Ribery had already poked the ball to Morris who was following in the middle.
Morris receives the ball and crosses the penalty area!
There are Cahill and Reiter in the penalty area, Morris's pass is hanging to the left, that is in front of Reiter, Reiter sees the ball and turns around to scramble, but the opponent's defense against him is very tight, he carries the defense hard and has the opportunity to touch the ball with his head, but it is almost impossible to shoot.
Reiter reacted quickly and opted to head the ball behind the left.
There was Ribery who was following up, Ribery was followed by Ryan Jarvis, he couldn't stop the ball at all, he could only meet the ball and re-pass it to the middle of the space, that position Morris had just run by, there were no players at all.
Ribery subconsciously passed the ball, and he didn't even look at his team-mate's position.
Pass the neutral, pass the neutral, that's what it means.
You don't need to look at the position of your teammates, you can pass the ball directly to the open position of the opponent's defense, tactically speaking, there will be no gaps in the running of the whole team, only teammates to keep up is an opportunity.
Of course, that's theoretical.
In any case, it is impossible for the team to swing the tactics perfectly, so sometimes such passes will still be wrong, and no one can follow the ball is equivalent to passing a stinky ball, and it may even go directly to the opponent.
Seeing Ribery's pass, the on-site commentator exhaled and said with a smile, "Ribery's pass misses ......"
He couldn't continue, because in the big shot, a figure in a green jersey followed behind!
Is that......!?
He immediately lowered his head to look for the name, but when he found the name and looked up again, he saw that the player had already controlled the ball and was swinging his foot and shooting straight at the goal.
A long-range shot!
The ball went straight to the right of the goal, and the Norwich goalkeeper pounced on the right, but by the time he pounced, the ball had already flown over the goal line.
It was only then that the on-site commentator called out the player's name, but his voice turned to an exclamation, as if he were cheering for a Derby County goal.
"Leytonβ"
"-Bynes-!!??"
"Long shot! The ball went into ......"
The tone of the on-site commentator was very strange, as the commentator of the Carlo Road stadium, it was obvious that he could not be excited about the goal table of Derby County, otherwise it would cause dissatisfaction among the Norwich fans who accounted for the vast majority of the game, but fortunately, at the moment of Derby's goal, not many Norwich fans paid attention to the stadium broadcast.
They were all sighing for the goal.
At the same time, Sky TV commentator Belko Krysman had already shouted, "Layton Bynes!! β
When Baines appeared in that position, Chrysman had already yelled, and immediately everyone saw Baines take the ball with him, he glanced at the direction of the goal, waved his foot and chose to shoot directly.
Shot, to the goal, to the goal, there are less than two seconds, in two seconds everyone saw the goal process completely, it was a wonderful long shot from outside the penalty area, and the person who scored the goal was even more unexpected-
"Leiden-Bynes !!"
Belko Chrysman roared again, "The ball is in!" Layton Bynes! gooooooooooooooa1οΌοΌοΌ β
'Derby County left wing-back Leighton Bynes' goal, his first goal since joining Derby! It's not easy to score goals as a left wing-back, but Baines did it! β
"It was a brilliant long-range shot!"
"Before, Baines showed a lot of defensive ability, but I don't think anybody would think that he would suddenly show his attacking ability and score with a long-range shot from one heel!"
"Layton Bynes! He helped Derby County take the lead! β
"If you look at the first half of the game now, Layton Baines is undoubtedly the best! He defended solidly, he scored the only goal! Congratulations to Derbyshire! From today, they have one more genius! βββ
Yesterday there was only one change, say sorry, make up for it today - (to be continued!)
