Chapter 13 Different Choices, Different Paths

"Raphael van der Vaart!! Rafael van der Vaart!! Sky TV commentator George Woodgate chanted excitedly again.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

'In the 73rd minute, Derby scored another goal when Rafael van der Vaart, the young former Ajax captain, scored the third goal for Derby!

"Derby County lead by three goals!"

'It was Van der Vaart's first goal for Derby County, who is only 21 years old and who spent €700 to bring in Van der Vaart from Ajax in the summer, to replace Australian striker Gary Cahill, who left for Everton in the summer! Many media believe that Van der Vaart is difficult to replace Cahill, Cahill is Derby's top scorer, his departure has brought nearly 9.2 million pounds to Derby, and the difference in value between the two is more than doubled, but in today's Highbury Stadium battle, Van der Vaart will make many people shut their mouths, not only this goal, Van der Vaart's previous appearance in the attack is also quite good, he and his teammates are skillful, and the first two goals also have something to do with him......"

After the goal, Van der Vaart looked excited.

He covered his cheeks with his hands, waved his arms vigorously, and even his teammates rushed over to hug him, but he didn't change his movements, he just looked at the sky, and the narrator explained that he was thanking God for his guidance.

Looking at the 8≡ there were already cheers for the goal on the stage.

The cheers came from the Derby County fans, as well as from a number of neutral fans, who cheered for the Derby County cousin and Van der Vaart's goal, while the Arsenal fans had no intention of competing for their voices, and they all felt powerless at this time because Arsenal were three goals behind and they were very disappointed in the game. Amid the cheers of the fans, Van der Vaart finally calmed down, and he was satisfied with the warm embrace of every team-mate who came by.

At Ajax, he was the heart and captain but could only play in midfield, but at Derby County he could play in the most desirable second striker position, where he could play against the giants Arsenal and score goals at Highbury. Van der Vaart now feels that coming to Derby County is the right choice.

Goal against Arsenal!

In the past, when he was at Ajax, he didn't score many goals in the league, and even if he did, he could only break Feyenoord's goal, and other teams were not even interested in talking about it, but now, any opponent he meets in the league is worth mentioning, and now he is facing an opponent like Arsenal.

Arsenal, that's not something Feyenoord can compare!

With this goal. The English media would have a much better opinion of themselves, wouldn't they? Not as good as Cahill? It's going to see if I'm good or that Australian is good!

……

Also very excited was Wan Sheng, who took the initiative to hug Diamares.

For him, beating Arsenal in the first round of the league is a new www.biquge.info. This victory brought him the joy of giving and reaping.

Since taking charge of Derby County, he has been working the whole squad since last summer. Training every player in the squad, plus a series of transfers, and now this Derby County team is what he has built single-handedly. This summer, the whole team continued to train for a month, a month, the players are hard, and he is even harder as the head coach, he has to care about the training of each player, and at the same time spend a lot of brain cells to study tactics, study the team, study training, study the opponent...... And so on, and now, this victory is the harvest of work, and the win over Arsenal is the beginning of the return of Derby County to the Premier League, and it is also the beginning of announcing to the world that he, 10,000 wins, is standing on the top flight stage.

With a three-goal lead, Wansheng is completely certain that the team will win.

No matter how much the team trained before, there was no real game and no effect, after this game, the team's ability was revealed, and the victory over Arsenal at Highbury Stadium was enough to prove a lot of things, at least, the tactics he studied himself were successful.

In fact, Wan Sheng was not sure of the tactical effect until the real test of success, and now that his team has a three-goal lead over Arsenal, he is extremely sure that he is right.

After this game, Wansheng believes that the team's confidence will be greatly increased, morale will be greatly increased, and at the same time, the team will at least have a good start this season.

A good start is half the battle, and the team has already taken the first steps towards success.

……

Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines, his face full of frustration.

He knew very well that Arsenal was pressing very high just now, and the opponent would have a chance to counterattack, but he tried not to think about it that way, because Arsenal had no other choice, and if they wanted to seize the chance to win, they had to press all the way, but now, Derby County still scored.

Three goals behind!

Arsene Wenger knows better that there is no hope of equalising the score, and this time, Arsenal are going to lose.

But what surprised him the most was Derby's performance.

Arsenal's defence isn't too good, but it's definitely top of the Premier League rankings, and it's surprising that Derby County can score three goals.

At the same time, the media and fans were surprised.

Fans on either side were amazed by Derby's cousin, which is just a promoted team! Can a promoted horse score three goals at Highbury?

To say that Arsenal's performance is not too bad, at the beginning of the game, they seemed to be a little out of shape, but then every player in the team showed their ability, and the result was still scored by Derby, what is going on? How did this Derby County team come out like this?

The Arsenal players were all on the pitch and they had the same doubts in their minds, and now they just watched the Derby celebrations, standing there one by one, and even forgot to urge the referee to start the game quickly.

……

After the game restarted, Arsene Wenger made a substitution.

He replaced the 'Ice Prince' Bergkamp with the Spaniard Reyes, who didn't have a good performance in this game, but among the Arsenal players, he was still very good, and on two occasions he made threatening passes and created chances for his team-mates, but in the end his team-mates failed to put the ball in the back of the net.

Now that most of the game has passed, his physical strength is no longer able to support him in this fierce confrontation. So Arsene Wenger replaced Bergkamp.

It's just a normal substitution.

Just a minute later, Arsene Wenger replaced Gilberto Silva, who had been inactive throughout the game, with youngster Robin van Persie replacing him with a midfielder and a striker, with the Frenchman clearly hoping to score a late goal in the game.

Van Persie came on.

Van Persie had been on the bench and it was a peculiar game for him as Derby County had invited him to join the team in the summer, but he turned it down. Because he had never heard of Derby County's name, he didn't think a promoted horse was worth playing for.

But what he didn't expect was that Arsenal, who he thought was a 'strong team', actually conceded three goals at home, but did not break the opponent's goal once.

3:0。

He was very surprised by such a competition.

He saw Van der Vaart's cousin, and when he was on the bench, he was thinking that if he went to Derby, he would be in Van der Vaart's place. Perhaps, it can also have the same table as Van der Vaart.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Coming to England, he scored a goal in the first round of the league and followed the team to a big victory over the defending champions...... It's the same with empathy. Compared to his current obscurity at Arsenal, where the media even ignored him with 'Arsenal don't have any transfer work in the summer' and only got some substitute minutes here, Van der Vaart is in a really good situation.

Van Persie secretly regretted it.

He didn't expect to join the 'giant' at all. It would be better to join Van der Vaart, who joined the small team.

Both are Dutch, about the same age, and know each other. However, the two options put the two in opposite positions, but Van Persie quickly adjusted his mentality and threw himself into his league appearance, but he soon found that the feeling on and off the pitch was completely different.

When he was on the bench, Van Persie only felt that the team's table was not very good, and there were still many holes in the Derby County defense, but when he got the ball, there would be Derby County players rushing over to intercept it, and he could only choose to pass in the face of dense defense, and it turned out that almost every teammate had someone around him, and it was not easy to break such a tight defense, he passed the ball three times in a row, and two of them were directly cut off.

The on-site commentator at Highbury Stadium said disappointedly, "Van Persie and Van der Vaart are also Dutch players, he is only 6 months younger than Van der Vaart, but the two are not at the same level at all, Van der Vaart has repeatedly created chances for the goal, and he also scored a goal, but Van Persie played three passes, and two of them were wrong......"

Sky TV commentator George Woodgate said directly, "...... It is said that Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger is good at digging young players, but obviously he is wrong this time, Van Persie is much worse than Van der Vaart's table, from now on, it should be said that it is Wansheng who is good at digging young players, think of Ribery, think about Baines, and a kind of young players in Derby, such as Burton Reiter, Alfred, Ziegler, etc., plus the current Van der Vaart, maybe Derby County will replace Arsenal in the future and become the most desirable club in the hearts of young players. ”

As the commentator spoke, Derby County had already launched a counter-attack on a failed pass by Van Persie.

They are very fast!

This time it was Van der Vaart's pick and kick that leaped over the head of Arsenal's defensive stalwart Campbell and appeared on the right side of the box.

Bolton Reiter is there!

One of the Arsenal players raised his hand Bolton Reiter was offside, but at the same time Burton Reiter had jumped up and fought to push the ball towards the goal!

In the eyes of everyone, the football once again flew into the gate guarded by Lehmann!

“4:0! 4:0! ”

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! ”

'Derby County are four goals ahead of Arsenal at Highbury Stadium and it's nothing short of a slaughter! But contrary to what most people think, this massacre was carried out by Derby County, who completely blew out the defending champions! Four goals, four brilliant goals! The goal came from Derby County's young striker Burton Reiter, who is only 21 years old as Van der Vaart! ”

"Two 21-year-old strikers made up two goals and two assists in this game, and the table of the two is almost perfect!"

"Derby County's midfield also had a pretty good form and they didn't let Arsenal score a single goal......

"This game belongs to Derby!"

With the commentator's words, the camera pointed to the sidelines, and saw Wan Sheng sitting in the coach's seat, holding his chest with his hands and smiling, completely without the excitement of scoring a goal, but very indifferently as if scoring a goal was normal.

'Maybe the young Chinese is used to scoring goals against Arsenal...... 'added George Woodgate.
