Hawthorn Stadium. ↗ Top Novel,

Players from West Bromwich Albion and Derby County were already trotting down the pitch from the aisle, followed by coaches and substitutes. As the players took to the field, the cheers in the stands rose a lot.

The referee arranged for the captains of the two teams to guess the coin and pick the side.

The coaches of the two teams, McGson and Wan Sheng, tacitly walked to the players' tunnel for a friendly handshake before the game, but the two were standing opposite each other and did not mean to stretch out their hands at all.

Soon the media spotted the amusing scene, and several cameras immediately turned their perspectives from the pitch to point at the two managers.

I saw that the two of them were standing, looking at each other, Wan Sheng had a smile on his face, and McGson also had a smile on his face, it seemed that both of them were friendly, but neither of them reached out first, nor did they speak.

It didn't take long for the two to glare at each other almost tacitly, and they turned around and walked back to their respective coaches' seats.

Belko Krysman, who was in charge of commentating the game, quipped, "It seems that the relationship between the two managers is very unfriendly, they don't even mean to shake hands with each other, which is really rare before the game"

"However, in the first half of the schedule, the two teams had conflicts with each other, the last time West Bromwich Albion lost the game, many West Bromwich Albion media clamored to win back before the game, Wan Sheng was careless to exclude all the main players from the squad, McGson believes that this is a contempt for West Bromwich Albion, but maybe Wan Sheng just wants to rotate the team, after all, they still have to deal with the FA Cup, and West Bromwich Albion has lost the FA Cup."

'But in any case, we also know that the relationship between the two managers is very bad, which might make the game more interesting'

Wan Sheng didn't know what the commentator said about himself, just now he actually wanted to wait for McGson to take the initiative to reach out, but it turned out that the other party thought the same way, so the two were at a stalemate.

And then. Huff.

It doesn't matter, it's just a polite handshake, Wan Sheng doesn't care at all, he and McGson really don't have any personal friendship at all, and when it comes to the game, the two are completely opposites.

Wan Sheng sat on the action, holding his hands in his arms and looking at the court seriously.

The match between the two teams has officially begun.

For this game, Wan Sheng is not absolutely confident that he can beat West Bromwich Albion, but he still has some confidence in the team's semi-substitute lineup on the field, which comes from the training on weekdays and the number of football training master systems.

On weekdays, he cares more about the players who are good. For example, Morris, such as Cahill, etc., their personal attribute numbers are very gorgeous, and Wan Sheng can even recite the attributes of these absolute main players.

But for an ordinary player like Peter Kennedy, Wan Sheng usually cares less.

This is because of their strength.

Whether it's the coach or the fans, they will definitely care more about the team's outstanding players, and it is understandable. But after Wan Sheng carefully studied the football training master system before the game, he found that he was underestimating the team's substitutes.

Maybe some of the substitutes are really not strong, but the likes of Peter Kennedy have been at Derby County since last season. And insist on working hard to train the players to the present, the strength of the improvement is still quite a lot, compared to last season, their number jù has increased very significantly. It can almost be said that all abilities have been improved in all aspects, which means that their strength has also improved a lot. It's not at all comparable to last season, and that's why they've been able to perform so well in training.

Among them are Peter Kennedy, Weberson and Rousey.

Wan Sheng began to consider Peter Kennedy, that is, to let him be Morris's replacement, Peter Kennedy's original strength is not bad, and he has a lot of experience in the game, the only problem is that there is not much room for improvement, after all, he is more than 27 years old.

But after a long period of training, Peter Kennedy's ability has also improved somewhat, his original strength is not much worse than Morris, plus these improvements, he has surpassed the original Morris, and even some ability evaluations are higher than the current Morris, such as defense, such as physical confrontation, etc., in short, the current Peter Kennedy must not be underestimated, with his current strength, it is enough to serve as the main force in the midfield of any League One team.

Webelson belongs to the kind of player whose specialty attributes grow quickly, his specialty is speed, after this lot of time of training, his speed is only a little worse than Reiter, and more importantly, in fact, Weberson did not focus on speed training, that is, his speed potential is higher than Reiter, which is inferred, Wansheng also affirmed this after looking at the football training master, the potential of Webson's various personal attributes.

However, Webelson and Reiter definitely belong to two types of players, Reiter is a high school forward, even if he is fast, in fact, it feels very bulky to carry the ball, and Webelson is a small player, who plays professional football with his foot skills, and the increased speed is of great help to his cousin.

Lucy is different from the two, he is the kind of young and hard-working player, his potential is very average, and he has been training continuously for nearly 9 months, so that all his personal attributes have increased slightly, that is to say, his strength has already increased in all aspects, although there is no outstanding point, but this is enough to make him perform well on the field.

The other substitute players are not as obvious as the three-person promotion, but under the task system of the football training master, they still have somewhat improved their ability, they are originally professional players who can play in the first division, and now their ability has improved again, and their natural strength is stronger enough to have a good performance in the game.

These personal numbers are also a source of confidence in Wansheng.

He wants to see what kind of performance this semi-substitute team can play on the Hawthorn Stadium

However, Wan Sheng himself knows the strength of the Derby County semi-substitute lineup on the field, and the others are not clear.

For example, journalists in the media gallery.

Reporters don't pay much attention to the game, even if it's the first and third matches in the league, but Derby County have been too strong in recent times, and it will not be easy for West Bromwich Albion to win against Derby County even if they are away from home.

But now it's different, with Derby County fielding a semi-bench line-up.

It doesn't matter if Derby County despise West Bromwich Albion or if they are preparing for the FA Cup. Anyway, they did, which means that West Bromwich Albion's chances of winning are much better.

If they sit at home and can't beat Derby County with a semi-substitute lineup, then their third place in the league is really a lot of water, and many reporters think so, so they expect West Bromwich Albion to score fast goals and beat Derby County head-on at home - even if it is Derby County with a semi-substitute lineup!

As long as you can beat Derbyshire, you can do anything!

West Bromwich Albion fans and journalists think similarly and feel that the team's victory is all that matters, with West Bromwich Albion playing in the Premier League last season. Relegated to the First Division in the summer, their fans believe that the most important thing for the team this season is to return to the Super League.

Then league points are quite important.

Whether Derby underestimated West Bromwich Albion or simply rotated their squad for other games, or whether they were fielding a substitute line-up, the chances of West Bromwich Albion winning would be better.

That's the most important thing.

So when the game started, more than 20,000 West Bromwich Albion fans in the stands of the Hawthorn Stadium were shouting for the team, hoping that the team could score quickly and lay the foundation for the victory. Then they will be at ease.

But that wasn't the case on the pitch and Derby County didn't show signs of decline.

But the game on the field is not based on the will of the hostile media and West Bromwich Albion to divert the will of the players on the field, which is directly related to the performance of Derby. It is also related to the shape of the game.

West Bromwich Albion managed to put some pressure in the opening stages, but soon Derby County came back in attack. Derby County and West Bromwich Albion played tirelessly.

This was seen by everyone in the audience.

The West Bromwich Albion players felt a little more evident and in the dressing room before the game, McGhson told them that Derby County would be fielding a substitute. They were a little annoyed because, as McGson said, it was Derbyshire's contempt for them.

Annoyed at the same time, they also wanted to give Derbyshire some color to see!

But now they find that the opponent is not so easy to beat, and it is not easy for them to return the color, and the important thing is that this Derby County semi-substitute team played really well, at least they didn't find out where the opponent was a 'substitute' in the opening game.

In terms of tactical play, this Derby County team is more mature than when the two teams played in the first half of the schedule, and it is obvious that they have made great progress in adapting and using offensive tactics; In terms of individual ability, they find it difficult to take advantage of these so-called 'substitutes' of Derby County.

This left the West Bromwich Albion players at a loss - could the team be as strong as the opponent's semi-substitute line-up?

It's hard for them to accept

The reporters in the media table also watched the game, and they were also quite surprised, this semi-substitute Derby County actually played an equal match with West Bromwich Albion?

How is this possible

They all looked at each other in amazement, not knowing what to say.

West Bromwich Albion coach McGhisson watched the game, and he was a little unacceptable, he thought it would be an easy game, in his home stadium, the opponent sent a substitute lineup, plus the strength of the two teams is actually not much apart Of course, the last point, the game on the field proves that this does not seem to be the case.

But how is that possible?

A lot of the best players in Derby County didn't play! Their bench lineup is all a group of players who can't play in League One, so the team formed in this way can actually play West Bromwich Albion away from home?

McGson felt hard to take.

On the other hand, Wan Sheng, who was also sitting in the coach's seat, felt full of confidence, he knew that the strength of this substitute lineup was not bad, but he really didn't have much confidence in what to play.

But now seeing the game on the field, his confidence has increased a lot.

It's a lot of accumulation!

These substitute players don't play much, but they actually have a lot of game experience, but after he coached the team, the number of appearances has decreased, coupled with long-term training, the increased strength of each player, reflected in the current game, it is definitely a thick accumulation!

Now he can say with certainty that even the team's bench is enough to cope with the average League One.

However, against a team like West Bromwich Albion, especially at their home stadium, the bench is still very unsafe, and he can't be sure what the specific outcome of the game will be, it depends on the performance of the players on the field.

Wan Sheng only hopes that the team can try to be as good as possible.

Derby County lose the game, but it's good to win, and it's better to win one more than to lose!

He wasn't going to turn down victory. (To be continued......)
