With the joint efforts of the whole team, the effect of two or three days of recovery training is still very good, but in order to reduce the pressure on those players who often play, on January 1, the first day of the new year, in the away game against Bolton, Wan Sheng still chose to make some rotation adjustments, Ivan Crewe and Frank Ribery did not start, The centre-back combination also changed to Nemanja Vidic and Alfred, and captain Marcus had a break so that the captain on the pitch became Peter Kennedy.

It's not the first time Peter Kennedy has been captain, he was the captain of the field once last season when Marcus and Morris were unable to play, but at that time Derby County was still in the second division, and the captain on the field was naturally not very valuable, and now the team is in the top league and has become a strong contender for the league title, and Peter Kennedy himself is not the absolute main force of the team, in this case, Peter Kennedy is still very pressured as the captain on the field.

Fortunately, no one is against Peter Kennedy becoming the captain, one is that he has been in the team long enough, although he is only a midfield substitute now, but his popularity in the team is not bad, and he is also an old qualified player, and Peter Kennedy is replacing Morris as the core of the midfield, his position is suitable for becoming the captain, with the captain's armband, he can also better command the whole team.

Obviously, Peter Kennedy is still under some pressure, and his watch in this game has also been affected, but fortunately, there are no major mistakes, and under the framework of the team's defense-oriented fast break football tactics, he is more calm than usual, but makes the team's defense solid.

The only thing is that the team's goal came too late.

It wasn't until the 83rd minute that the first goal of the game was scored, led by Layton Bynes on the wing, who stepped in and pushed the ball horizontally to Rousey, who ran out of space to knock on the door with a cold shot from Bolton.

1:0。 The score was rewritten.

It was Rousey's first goal of the season for Derby County, and he was so excited after the goal that he hugged each other with his team-mates that the enthusiasm was really crazy. However, everyone can understand Russi's feelings, as a team's 'jack-of-all-trades' substitute, Lussi generally plays in the middle and back, and it is not very important on the field, and it is difficult for him to get opportunities in front of goal. In this game, he replaced Ribery as a left wing-back, only to find such an opportunity, especially this goal is the only goal of the two teams at the end of the game, almost directly determines the outcome of the game, such a key goal is worth a thousand dollars, plus it is the first goal of the season, no wonder Rousey is so excited.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and applauded.

Originally, he thought that this game would draw with Bolton, but he didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly, Russi actually helped the team score a goal, which was really good. Victory is always the best.

Roussi's goal was the only goal of the game as Derby County secured a narrow 1-0 win at Bolton Wanderers for their third win of the Christmas campaign.

Soon three days later, Derby County hosted Newcastle United.

After 90 minutes of play, Derby County won 1-0 at home to Newcastle United, and the only goal came from Kluivert, but because of this goal, Kluivert collided with the opposing goalkeeper and limped back to his feet. The team doctor later examined him and found that he had suffered a slight muscle strain, and he had to take a break for a period of time to recover.

Kluivert's injury is nothing, a slight muscle strain, and if it is more, it means a month of rest. One less week could have been better, and what worried Wan Sheng even more was that in the final minutes of the game, Van der Vaart fell to the ground and was carried off the field on a stretcher while fighting with his opponent.

His expression of pain seemed very harsh.

After the game, Wan Sheng didn't care about any victory, and after letting Diamares replace him at the press conference, he went directly to the hospital to check on the situation. After arriving at the hospital and asking the doctor, he took a long breath, Van der Vaart was only kicked heavily in the calf, the surface of the guide zhì was a little bloated, there was no major problem, such a traumatic injury was enough to recover in a week.

However, Wan Sheng considered the next schedule and did not announce the news to the public, and when he returned to the club to face the media, he just said very solemnly that Van der Vaart needs a period of treatment, and the specific recovery time is uncertain.

As a result, there has been speculation about how long Van der Vaart will take to recover, and some hostile media have once again brought up the 'Derby County injury crisis' to talk about the possible decline in Derby's results.

By now, this is no longer an empty statement, and even some ordinary players are starting to worry about Derby's results.

Despite winning all four games on Christmas, Derby County are also facing serious injury problems, with Morris needing to be sidelined until at least March to return, and with the current Kluivert and Van der Vaart, Derby County have lost three of their generals.

Morris can't play, the impact on Derby County has been very big, and the very strong evidence is that the score of Derby County in recent times, although they have been winning, but the various '1-0' and the big wins before Christmas are still very stark.

If Van der Vaart is no longer available, Derby County will almost be described as 'unavailable' in the middle, and Derby's results will almost certainly be affected.

In this discussion, the whole Derby County did not care, and many players breathed a long breath, no matter what, the four consecutive league games after Christmas have ended, and the next fixtures are also intensive, but at least there will be two games in three days, and the team has a rest.

Wan Sheng decisively gave the team two days off.

The whole team had a two-day holiday, and Wansheng naturally had a two-day holiday, but he lamented that he was born busy, and it was difficult to really be idle.

This is related to his master's degree at the University of London, and it is also his own desire to publish some research results.

For his research in the professional field of kinematics, Wansheng still has a great sense of achievement, just like some professional researchers, who have some achievements in their own fields, and naturally want to share these results for the first time, which represents the results of research and their own work.

The only difference is that Wansheng's purpose is not for money, or fame or anything. He simply wanted to publish his research results, which are difficult to really apply in real life, that is, even sports professionals from other teams. Knowing his results, it is difficult to apply them to team training, because it is only a purely academic issue.

Just like some 'world problems' in mathematics, solving these 'world problems' is naturally a dazzling achievement, but it is difficult to really be of any use in life.

Ben Hawkhua on the paper. He can still help Wansheng, he can give some good advice, but he is even more surprised that Wansheng's research has progressed.

When he learned about Wansheng's research direction, he always felt that it was impossible to do, and there could be no progress, but he didn't expect Wansheng to really study something, so he discussed with Wansheng in this regard, and Wansheng also roughly explained some progress, Ben Hawkhua just listened to it and felt that the content was very novel, so he began to 'Wansheng resigned as head coach. Go back to academia and be a professional researcher's advice.

"You're a genius!"

"What's so good about being a football coach, a few decades of your life is enough to change the world!"

"You will be the Einstein of the new century!"

“……”

Wan Sheng can only roll a few eyes in this regard, even if he has achievements in research, but his main business is still football coaching, and these research results are also based on the football training master system, training for players, if you resign from the head coach position, professional research. Even if he was very confident in his mind, Wan Sheng felt that he would not do better than others, after all, geniuses abound in the scientific world, and he did not feel that he had anything to stand out.

More mainly...... His dream is to become a top football coach. Now, he is steadily moving towards his dream, and naturally he will not stop inexplicably.

After returning to Derby, the squad soon regrouped for training and began preparations for the Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool.

But before that there is an FA Cup game to be played, against Wigan Athletic. Derby County are playing at home and there is nothing to prepare for this game, and there is no pressure on Derby County to play a second-tier team at home.

Unexpectedly, the accident still happened, and in the twenty-first minute of the game, Ivan Crewe went off the field with an injury, and Wan Sheng watched Ivan Crewe limp off the field and frowned.

He didn't care about what the media said before, but the situation for the team was really tough.

In the slightly cold winter, frequent events still make the whole team suffer from frequent injuries, and occasional bumps and bumps on the game field are easy to lead to injuries.

Ivan Crewe's injury doesn't look serious, but there are always players who are injured, which is still a reminder to Wan Sheng that he must not take the injury issue lightly.

In the end, Derby County won the game 2:0, but Ivan Crewe's injury still made Wan Sheng lose the joy of victory, after the game he went to ask the team doctor about Ivan Crewe's injury, the team doctor's answer made Wan Sheng let out a long breath, "It's just a small injury, and it will recover in a few days." ”

Despite this, Wansheng was still worried about the team's injury problems, and in the next two days of training, Wansheng constantly paid attention to the physical condition of the players, and asked Walton Cooper to do some mental work for the players to reduce the psychological pressure on the players for frequent games.

Body and mind, both pronged, he believes that it will still have a certain effect.

The injury has really affected the team at the moment, Van der Vaart has not fully recovered, Ivan Crewe is injured again, Kluivert is difficult to play in January, and with Morris before him, the team has suffered a heavy loss in the frontcourt.

Fortunately, there were still five days left in the next match, and by the next day, Wan Sheng called Van der Vaart and Ivan Crewe to start training with them.

The injuries of the two were not serious, and the doctor advised them to rest for a few days before returning to the team for training, but Wan Sheng knew that if he could do recovery training, he would definitely be able to recover faster, and just relying on rest, relying on the body's own ability to recover, it would definitely take a lot more time.

He also wants the two to catch up with Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.

The Carabao Cup with Liverpool is already a semi-final, and this event is no longer a decisive one, the two teams have to play two games, home and away, to decide which team will advance to the final, with this in mind, Wan Sheng still wants to get enough advantage in the first leg, otherwise the pressure of two big games will make the team's situation even more dangerous.

Wan Sheng did not announce the injuries of Van der Vaart and Ivan Crewe, and it was precisely for the game against Liverpool that Wan Sheng did not announce the injuries to the public.

As a result, there is a lot of speculation in the outside media, and most of them believe that Van der Vaart and Ivan Crewe will not be able to play in the first leg against Liverpool, because the time for the two to be injured is too short, even if the injury is small, it will take at least a week to recover.

What's more, Van der Vaart's injury situation looks quite serious, and Ivan Crewe, although he looks to be a minor injury, has only just been injured and will be difficult to play in less than a week.

Wan Sheng did not reply to these speculations.

It wasn't until the day before the game, when Derby County held a regular press conference, that media reporters saw Wan Sheng again.

Wan Sheng sat on the rostrum, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face was solemn. During the interview on weekdays, the reporter saw Wan Sheng with a smile on his face and looked kind, although no one really thought so, but Wan Sheng's youth and expression still gave people a lot of good impressions.

Today is different.

Looking at Wan Sheng frowning on the stage, the local media reporters in Derbyshire were full of worry, and the expressions of other media reporters also became much more solemn, maybe some hostile media were gloating in their hearts to know the specific situation, but on the surface they would definitely remain strict.

When the press conference officially began, Wansheng's expression became more solemn.

Seeing this expression, the media reporters knew what questions to ask, and sure enough, the first media reporter to stand up asked about the team's injuries.

Wan Sheng grinned, the smile was a little fake, and then he spoke, "There is nothing wrong with the team at the moment, Rafael and Ivan are in very good condition, they can both start tomorrow's game......"

The reporters in the audience listened stunned.

They couldn't believe that Wan Sheng actually said something 'very good'...... How can it be!? If it was very good, would you still have this expression? Laughing at it all seems so fake?

There must be a problem!

Despite recording what Wan Sheng said, even the local Derby County reporters did not believe what Wan Sheng said, believing that it must have been a smoke bomb used to confuse Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez. (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
