Just when Derby County training was in full swing, the outside media also analyzed the situation in the Premier League, and Derby County drew with Norwich City in the last round, as a result of which their league ranking fell to sixth place, as a promoted team, this result is very conspicuous, but those hostile Derby County media have something to say, because Derby County drew Norwich at home.

Norwich were definitely not a strong team, but they drew with Derby County at Pride Stadium, a game that delighted the hostile Derby media, who excitedly reported the game as if it were some kind of high-profile game, but in reality, more of the media just saw it as a confrontation between two promoted teams.

A draw is really nothing.

But this is not the case with the hostile media of Derby, led by the Daily Mirror, who reported on the game in their articles, which is nothing more than a statement that Derby's results have fallen sharply, "From the big win at Arsenal away to the draw at home to Norwich, Derby's results are getting worse and worse, and we can imagine that the crisis for Derby County is coming soon"

The word 'crisis' is quoted in many articles.

What is the 'crisis' in Derbyshire?

As a promoted horse, there is no doubt that we have to face the decline in performance brought about by the depth of the bench and the heritage, the results of the opening Derby County are very good, but as the season progresses, the general promoted horses will definitely face a decline in performance, unless the two promoted horses such as Norwich and Crystal Palace can no longer be worse so far, even if they are worse, they cannot talk about a decline at all, and Derby County is different, their results can be described as 'very good', and they will naturally face the danger of 'declining results'.

That's what a team is all about.

Often, big teams, such as Manchester United, get better and better in the later stages of the league. Manchester United rarely have a very good start to the season, but they can compete for the league title every year, and the reason is that many of the teams that have a surprising performance at the beginning of the season will slowly fall after the middle of the league, and be overtaken by these well-established giants, which has become a 'regular' thing.

Derby County are now included in the 'regularity'.

The Daily Mirror's report revolves around this, and in addition to the Daily Mirror, The Sun and The Times have also made relevant reports. However, people who know the inside story are noncommittal about their reporting, because everyone knows that these media belong to the Murdoch News Group, and Wansheng had a little conflict with the little princess of Murdoch News Group before, and as a result, these media are very fond of reporting negative news about Derby County and Wansheng, The Sun and The Times are actually better, they only do occasional reporting, more often than not, and the Daily Mirror is the number one hostile media in Derbyshire. It's all about 'opposition' reporting.

These reported remarks have had some impact on Derby County fans, who know the news and it is reported through guò media, so they are a little worried about the team. However, as the head coach, Wan Sheng dismisses this, and these hostile media have so much negative coverage of Derby County that it has reached the point where he is simply a little numb. He didn't care for a long time, as long as it didn't affect the team, it didn't matter what they said.

So at the press conference before the match against Crystal Palace. "I heard a lot of people talk before the game that we are going to have a crisis, and yes, I admit that we are not far from a crisis because the Premier League opponents are so strong and every game is very difficult for us. ”

Listening to Wan Sheng's words, the reporters in the audience were a little dazed, even the "Daily Mirror" reporter Brand who came to Selhurst Park to interview was the same, there was an irresolvable contradiction between him and Wan Sheng, and at the same time he also knew Wan Sheng very well, he knew that this Chinese was definitely not the kind of person who would show weakness, but what did the other party mean by saying this? Admit that Derby County is really in crisis? Or what's going on inside Derbyshire?

Brand wasn't happy, but strange.

Other reporters who know Wan Sheng are also strange, but the local media of Crystal Palace don't think so much, they think that Wan Sheng is showing weakness, maybe because Derby County don't have the confidence to beat Crystal Palace If they wouldn't have thought so before, but Derby County lost at home to Norwich City in the last round, and now they are at Selhurst Park, maybe Crystal Palace is about to usher in the first league win of the season?

Many Crystal Palace local media Mei Mei thought.

But after 90 minutes of play, these Crystal Palace local media reporters have a tendency to blacken, the stadium scoreboard shows '0:5', like a deep irony for them, the home team in front, the away team in the back, this game, Derby County in the away five goals, no suspense to beat Crystal Palace!

After the game, Wan Sheng appeared at the press conference with a solemn face, his expression was still solemn before the game, just when the media reporters felt strange things, Wan Sheng said seriously, "This game proves that we are closer to the crisis"

The reporters in the audience turned blue when they heard this!

They finally knew what the young Chinese meant by saying that before the game, it was not an acknowledgment of the Derbyshire crisis or something, it was direct irony!

Didn't you say the Derby County crisis was coming?

Okay, I'll admit that there's a crisis in the team, and then we can easily win and admit that it's closer

But even if you hold back your anger, the media reporters can't do that, when Derby County win the league and suddenly talk about the Derby County crisis or something, is this the rhythm of treating the fans for fools? Even the most stupid people will not believe it, they can only hold back and wait for the next opportunity.

Perhaps, in the next game, Derby County and Newcastle United.

In 1892, the two teams that were at the time inseparable - Newcastle East and West - announced the incredible merger to form the current Newcastle United.

Newcastle United had been a powerhouse in England until the First World War, winning the league three times and the FA Cup once before 1914. In the 50s, the revived Newcastle won the FA Cup three more times, which greatly boosted the popularity of British fans. In the decades that followed, however, Newcastle struggled to regain their former glory, with ups and downs in the lower leagues.

1992 year. Keegan's arrival changed history as he led the team to the top flight and Newcastle became a force to be reckoned with in English football. In 1999, the club appointed legendary Bobby Robson as head coach and in two seasons of the century, Newcastle United reached the last four of the Premier League in a row.

This season is destined to mean a lot for the Newcastle league.

It was a milestone season for Newcastle United as two legends in the club's history – Robson and Alan Shearer – are set to leave after this season, with veteran boss Robson failing to agree a contract extension with the hierarchy and goalscorer Shearer expected to hang up his boots at the end of the season.

With the gradual maturity of a generation of rookies such as Jenas and Dier, as well as the addition of Milner and Bart in the summer, Newcastle United's strength is still very good. The only bad news is that Newcastle United sold their defending star Woodgate to Real Madrid for £13.4 million in the summer, which may not be the answer, as it is difficult to retain a truly outstanding talent as a Premier League powerhouse.

The English media's expectations for Newcastle United are still high.

"This is a team that is in contention for a Champions League spot!"

This is a comprehensive evaluation of the media.

However, in the first nine rounds of the league, Newcastle United's results were not good, with 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, ranking 12th in the league, which can only be regarded as midstream at best. The media pointed out that the most important thing is the defensive problem, and after Woodgate's departure, Newcastle United's defensive strength has been significantly affected.

Now they've met Derbyshire.

The match was played at St James' Park in Newcastle and the media gave a comprehensive assessment of the game before the game. Still on the favour of Derby County, although many media reports suggest that Derby County are about to face a 'crisis', that is the narrative of hostile media, especially after the big win over Crystal Palace in the last game. At least compared to Newcastle United, Derby County are still favored, and in terms of results. Derby County's sixth place in the league is also much higher than Newcastle United.

However, when two teams with the strength of the Premier League meet, the outcome of the game is really difficult to say.

Although many media are optimistic about Derby, they all hope that Newcastle United can win the game, after all, in addition to the local media of Derby, there is no other media in England that will really support Derby County, and Newcastle United, as a traditional powerhouse, and even called 'one of the five major clubs in England' at the end of the 20th century, they still have a lot of supporters, and at the same time, coach Robson, as a legendary coach of England, can also get more support than Wansheng, a young and unpopular outsider.

Derby's starting line-up is still not much different from the previous games, with the changes being made to change the central striker in front to Kluivert, the right wing-back to Lichtsteiner, and the central defender to partner Vidic by Osman.

As soon as this starting formation came out, the media was not surprised.

However, there are still people who can see the changes in Derby County and the opening few league games, that is, Sky TV commentator George Woodgate, since commenting on the Derby game, George Woodgate has liked Derby County, and has done a lot of research on Derby County, he can say that he knows a lot about Derby County, he did not explain Derby County's games in the previous games, and now seeing Derby's starting lineup, as well as the opening few offensive and defensive games, George Woodgate immediately noticed the difference, the difference is in the formation.

4321 and 442 are actually not much different, especially the 442 of Derby County before, Van der Vaart, as the second striker, will also pull the back position when attacking, not much ahead of Morris, plus the 442 midfield diamond position, in fact, if you don't pay careful attention, you can't see the change in formation at all, if you do a subdivision of the position, the 442 of Derby County can be said to be 412111, and now the 4321 of Derby County is 41221, The only noticeable difference between the two is that Van der Vaart and Morris are parallel.

George Woodgate, who knows Derby County well, was quick to notice this and was a little surprised, "Derby County seem to have made some changes to their formation, they now only have one striker Van der Vaart and Morris on either side, which means that they are now in a formation of 4321, and this is the first time we have seen this style of play in Derby. ”

But in fact, Derby County has been playing a few rounds of tactics, but their OS-FAST tactics, on the surface, the running of each player is very chaotic, and it is difficult to find changes in formation, and the other reason is that media reporters do not pay much attention to Derby's formation, after all, Derby's tactics have always been like this, there is no change at all, and they don't think deeply.

As a result, when Woodgate said this, many fans noticed, and then they reacted to the reason why they thought it was strange before - Alfred appeared in the midfield position!

This is not a big deal, as far as the defenders at the back, the midfielders and the central defenders, many players can play at the same time, but now they feel that this adjustment is very meaningful, and it also proves that there must be some changes in the formation and tactics of Derby County.

It's hard to really say what exactly this change is, whether it's good or bad.

However, as far as this game is concerned, Derby County's performance is still quite good, from the beginning of the game, Derby County used the running and pressing of the players on the field to suppress Newcastle United, and the most dazzling player on the field is undoubtedly Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart is almost an all-round fighter!

When the ball is at his feet, it is difficult to tell whether he is going to pass or pass, which makes it difficult for Newcastle United defenders to limit Van der Vaart, especially Van der Vaart's skills, his passing is very accurate, he is very threatening, and his dribbling skills are also very sharp, and he has made wonderful performances in a row more than once.

However, Van der Vaart seemed to be a little too attention-grabbing, and as a result, a lot of Newcastle United's defensive focus was on him, which made it difficult for him to pass and dribble the ball every time he got it.

That's it this time.

When Van der Vaart received a pass more than ten meters outside the penalty area, two Newcastle United players immediately pressed over, but Van der Vaart found that his passing routes in the front, left and right directions were blocked, and it was not easy to shake two people directly, so he passed the ball back.

The ball was handed to Alfred, who was plugged in in the middle.

Even so, one of the two Newcastle United players who defended just now followed Van der Vaart closely, but this time, Alfred passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area with a precise kick.

Alfred is just a defender, Newcastle United, who studied Derby County before the game, still knew it, so when Alfred got the ball, they didn't care too much, and even let Alfred pass the ball, but they didn't expect that Alfred's pass was so accurate that the football quickly rolled to the right side of the penalty area, and there, Morris, who was running from the right, just caught up.

Then, in the face of the goalkeeper, Morris shot directly with his feet!

The ball was very powerful, very fast, and not far away, and the Newcastle United goalkeeper judged the direction, but he was too late to save, and could only watch the ball burrow into the far corner of the goal.

Only then did everyone react, but instead of paying attention to Morris, who had scored, they looked at Alfred, who was standing near midfield.

"The ball is in! 1:0！ ”

"It's a brilliant assist from Baker Alfred!" Even the narrator, George Woodgate, mentions Alfred's name first. (To be continued......) R1292
