Chapter XXXIII Technical Issues

In the new round of the Derby County, the Derby County club beat the visiting West Ham United by three goals at the Pride Stadium, and the Derby County fans and the media supporting the team were also very happy, at least very happy. c,≠.23x.netbsp; Derbyshire's round of table xiàn can be described as almost perfect.

Derby County mainstream media naturally don't want to see Derby County win, no, to be precise, they don't want to see that damn Chinese proud, but Derby County won, and it was against West Ham United, which made them unable to say anything at all, so after the game they could only 'happy' to say that the team table was very good, and they were very positive about the new season.

Not to mention the pro-Wan Sheng media such as Derby County Sport, who covered the game at large length, making all kinds of affirmations to the team's top and bottom lines, and even more praising Wan Sheng who led the team.

In the Derbyshire area, it was a rare day when all media reporters came out with the same voice.

But there are always discordant sounds.

This came from an unexpected area of Derbyshire, which was owned by News Murdoch and the Daily Mirror, which made some unfriendly reports on the Derby County and West Ham match on its official website that night, and put them in the newspaper the next day.

In this edition of the Daily Mirror's sports news, Derby County takes up a small slate!

Often only the British giants, that is, the top three Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, can have such treatment, perhaps this season can add a Russian rich Chelsea, other teams want to have such treatment is not to think about.

Now Derby County, who are League One teams, have done it.

But that's not good news.

The Daily Mirror's report on Derby County is not to praise them for their ability to take all three points against West Ham United, nor to praise their attacking football over West Ham United, let alone to praise their big victory, this reporter signed 'Aldridge Brand'. In the article, he lashed out at Derby's young manager Wan Sheng.

There are all kinds of big hats, and there are also some dry goods that question tactics.

"This Chinese's goal is to win the League One title?"

"What qualifications does he have to talk about championships!"

"Who does he think he is? What team did he think Derby County was? They only beat West Ham United in the first round, not to mention that West Ham United are now affected by the club's financial situation, even if they win the league, it doesn't mean they are eligible to compete for the league title! ”

"It's not a 'Derby Cup' title, it's a league title! The league lasts all season! ”

"This young coach from China is showing his ignorance with ridiculous words!"

"What did he do with English football?"

"Compared to the teams in League One, it would be nice to see them have such a clear-headed opponent!"

"As for his offensive football"

"That kind of football is just a surprising effect, and he really thinks that with this kind of football, he can get good results?"

"It's just that West Ham don't fit in. This is normal. West Ham didn't expect Derby County to adopt a big attacking tactic, they weren't prepared so they failed, but want to rely on football like that to compete for the league title? ”

"Haha, that's the funniest joke!"

"And their so-called attacking football is also a joke, in the game, apart from the whole court pressing defence, I don't see any technical content in their attack, straight to the point. Long pass rush, that's their attacking football! ”

"This kind of offensive football is no different from the defensive counter-attack he used last season, and I don't see any potential in his 'offensive football'!"

"Maybe it was last season that led the team to relegation. Let his self-confidence swell to a certain extent, he is too arrogant and arrogant! ”

"But what if you lead the team to relegation? That's just relegation, and it's two completely different concepts from the championship. And their so-called offensive football is not at all likable. That's something completely untechnical, and Derby County fans may like that the team is attacking all the time, but they definitely don't like the team losing a game because of this so-called attack! ”

"This young coach from China. Using this tactic might help him win one or two games, but that's only because the opponent doesn't know him yet, and he can't even think about it for a season, he should think more about his 'attacking' football and set up more for the whole season."

"But young people don't listen to advice, especially this arrogant guy who is likely to collapse if he fails, and then we should be worried about the future of Derby."

Judging from this report, Brand has really done a lot of work, at least he has re-watched the video of the Derby County and West Ham matches.

His evaluation of Wansheng is just two words - arrogance!

He is also not optimistic about Derby's new tactics, believing that such attacking football has no technical content to speak of, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on such tactics to play a season.

Criticism is criticism, analysis is analysis, and in the end, Brand's reports are all about attacking Wan Sheng and attacking his tactics.

Finally, I was 'kind' to worry about Derby County, of course, which is full of discord, which is to remind Derby County fans not to be happy about one or two wins, what they need to worry about is the whole season, and what they need to worry about is that Derby County's current Chinese coach is Wansheng.

If it were just the local Derby County media, it wouldn't have had much impact, and there were a lot of similar reports last season, among which there were too many to list in questioning Wansheng in various ways.

But the Daily Mirror is different!

This is not a tabloid, their influence covers the whole of the United Kingdom, radiates the whole of Europe, and this report also appears in the official sports and football page, occupying a large section.

Then, Wansheng really became famous!

It turned out that the only people who knew about Wansheng were the fans in and around the Derby County area, as well as those Derby County opponents. But the fans of the rival club don't necessarily know Wansheng, ordinary fans rarely care about what kind of character the opposing coach is, they see Wansheng's footage on TV, at most they are just curious about Wansheng's youth and appearance, and nothing else.

Then there are those football media that specialize in reporting on the English League, and they will introduce it in detail on the page, but this type of media generally does not have much influence, and most of the influence is the "Daily Mirror", "The Sun" and other comprehensive media.

In short, Wansheng was only a little famous before.

Now he's really famous.

Quite a few fans outside of Derby. We all know that Derby County FC has a young Chinese manager in his twenties, who is arrogant and thinks that he can come up with a set of attacking football tactics to sweep League One and help the team win the League One title this season.

This is the first impression of readers who read the "Daily Mirror" on Wansheng.

The impact of this report is still very large.

Not only was the impression of the fans, but also had some impact on Wan Sheng's life, and the next morning's training had just begun, Wan Sheng received a call from the club's president, Ji Smith.

"Hello. Mr. Smith? Wan Sheng put the phone to his ear.

"Wan Sheng, why did you offend the reporter of the Daily Mirror again!" There was a somewhat headache sigh on the other end of the phone, "Those big media reporters, don't offend if you don't offend." We're not a big club! We need their positive coverage of the club, not the way it is"

It's no wonder that Ji-Smith has a headache.

He went to the Pride Stadium yesterday to watch the game and was delighted to see the team beat West Ham United by three goals comfortably that evening. He saw positive coverage of the game on various local media news sites, which he wanted to see, but waited until the next morning. A number of people called him and said that the Derby County club had entered the pages of the Daily Mirror.

Then he bought a copy of the Daily Mirror with great interest.

Then he felt the urge to vomit blood.

Hearing Mr. President's words, Wan Sheng was silent for a while.

He actually didn't expect that the guy named Brand was so influential, but he didn't care at all or he should be a little used to it, since he became the head coach, he has been questioned and criticized by various public opinions, and now the object has been changed to the "Daily Mirror", what can be unusual?

He didn't care.

"Mr. Smith, it's okay, if they want to say it, let them go." He replied.

"That's the Daily Mirror, not a local tabloid! It's a big British general media! They have millions of readers! ”

Smith was about to continue to roar, Wan Sheng interrupted him, "Mr. Smith, I know what you said, but it's nothing, think about it, when I first took over the team, there were also many people who criticized me, and recently criticized the team, look at what they said today?" They said that the team's performance was very good, and they praised the team and me. ”

Why is this so? Before the game they said Derby were going to lose, and I remember one story that was headlined 'Derby are about to lose their first game.'"

"But now they're full of praise for the team!"

'I think you should understand that it was because we beat West Ham. It's the same now, I think as long as we can get good results and make those media speechless, they can only praise us, if our results are not good, it is useless for them to compliment us, so I still look at the results."

Smith on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, "Maybe you're right, Wansheng, you convinced me." But I still have to remind you, try not to offend those big media reporters."

"I see, I know." Wan Sheng patted his head, a little unable to stand this guy's nagging.

Smith changed his tone and asked, "By the way, Wan Sheng, you told reporters yesterday that the goal of the new season is to win the league title, is it true?" ”

"Of course."

"Oh? I'm interested, and I know you're not like the megalomaniacal people you are talking about. I haven't talked to you about the goal of the new season this season, that's because I talked to Wilcox, and we think it's better to target relegation for the new season, I don't think it's difficult for you, but the goal is the title, it's still too much. Not to mention champions, can we have hope of upgrading? ”

"My goal is to win!" Wan Sheng affirmed, "Upgrading is certain, but the championship is my goal." ”

The nagging chairman probably couldn't accept this, Wan Sheng thought about it and lowered some of his requirements, explaining, "Mr. Smith, I personally think that what a team can achieve has a lot to do with the pre-season goal, if our goal is relegation." Then we may not even be able to achieve relegation, if our goal is promotion, then we may be able to easily finish in the top 10 of the league, if our goal is the championship, then promotion is not a difficult thing for us."

After listening to Wan Sheng's explanation, Smith had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

It turned out that it was because of this that the young man set his sights on the championship, and he felt that he finally understood what was going on. But I couldn't help but ask, "Do we really have any hope of upgrading?" ”

"Leave it to me, Mr. Smith!"

"Well, that's good. That's right. Congratulations on leading the team to their first victory. "Also," Ji-Smith pondered for a moment before adding, "Do you need to bring in any players in the summer, and there is still some transfer money left." Maybe you can sign two free transfer players. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll think about it."

Wan Sheng hung up the phone with a dark face. He also thought that Jie Smith was going to make some additional investment, it turned out that he was just going to sign free players, what is there to sign free players?

However, if you can sign two experienced veterans, it will also be a supplement to the team's lineup.

Let's take another look.

After putting down the phone, Wan Sheng walked to the sidelines of the training ground and watched the individual training of the players, of course he would not be okay to watch the training, in fact, he was also thinking about the report of the "Daily Mirror".

Brand was reporting purely for 'revenge', but he must have studied the Derby County and West Ham matches before reporting, and some professional analysis at the end is also very valuable.

The point is to say 'Derby's attacking football has no technical content'.

He's right.

Up to now, Wansheng has emphasized offensive football, the focus is on speed, as for the technical content or something, there are really few of them, and most of them rely on the free swing of the players. The team has done very little work in terms of short passes, penetrations, etc., and has not even done much training in small areas.

Tactics are based on degree, and looking for opportunities is also carried out in a 'traditional' way, which focuses on long passes, headers, and long-range shots.

For example, many teams use constant cooperation to tear apart the opponent's defense, and can pass the football into the penalty area closely, so that the striker player can directly get the opportunity to kick the empty goal, which is not available in Derby football.

Even if it is possible to find similar opportunities on the field, it is the player's individual ability, and it has nothing to do with tactics and training.

That said, the technicality of the team's offense is really a problem.

The Daily Mirror report reminded Wan Sheng that if he continued like this, it would be very difficult for opponents to suppress them with offensive football when they understood his tactics.

A lot of the games could turn out to be last season's clash between Derby County and Leicester City – Leicester have been attacking all the time, but in the end the victory went to Derby County because they relied on counter-attacking goals.

Only now, Derby County is about to become the city of Leicester at that time.

That's definitely not going to work.

The key point is that the team's offensive technology content is too low, there are too few means to score goals, and most of them can only rely on individual players to attack, rely on the opponent's defense to do poorly, or do not adapt to the rhythm of fast attack and score.

In short, in the case of very low technical content and few means of scoring goals, the flaws of this offensive tactic are also obvious.

From now on, Wansheng has to think about how to solve this problem.
