David Moyes knew that the next game would be difficult, but what he didn't expect was that the impact of Ribery's goal on Everton was not only a deficit in the score, but also a morale blow.

But Derbyshire is different.

Everton is not the first time to play Derby, after Wansheng coached Derby, the two teams have played twice, this is the third meeting, the first two meetings Everton have lost, and the game is very difficult, the first time they met, Derby County was even in the second league, even in that case, Everton still lost, but now Everton faces the mentality of Derby again.

Everton's main squad is basically unchanged from last season, the only change is striker Cahill, or 'former Derby County player', because there is no change, when seeing Ribery score, many players feel that it is really difficult for the team to win.

This kind of thinking makes the whole team seem to have little fighting spirit, but fortunately, Derby County's attack is not as fierce as before, and they will not have to face too much pressure.

At this point, the Everton fans at Goodison Park were silent.

Seeing Derby County score the first goal, they were all a little disappointed, the team had so much possession and so many attacks, but it was still the opponent who scored first, and in addition to missing + hope, Everton fans also hoped that the team could rise up and perform well and strive for an equalizer.

With this expectation, Everton fans gradually shouted the slogan for the team.

But they were disappointed.

As the game went on, Everton couldn't get much in attack for a long time, and it was clear that the opposition defended very tightly and, crucially, the opposition attack was also very sharp, especially when there was an opportunity to counter-attack. Every time it makes Everton fans worry about their own goals.

In this case, the stadium has gradually become less and less cheering for Everton.

Neither team was able to score again in the first half, and in the second half, Everton stepped up their attacking momentum, and they pressed through the half, almost bombarding the Derby penalty area, which made the Derby County goal much more dangerous.

They were giving it their go, trying to get back on the scoresheet at the start of the second half.

Seeing Everton's style of play, Wan Sheng also admires David Moyes. It's a dangerous tactic, but if you put it together, Everton really have a chance of equalising, if they don't put it together, Everton are likely to be consumed by Derby County until the end of the game, because it is very difficult for them to rely on a frontal attack to score, if the numbers are to speak, the game continues like this, and Everton can tie the chances of equalising the score in the second half. No more than 30 per cent, the rest is that Derby County will win, even if Derby County can't continue to score, but one goal is enough for the team to win.

David Moyers celebrates this. So he chose to give it a go.

There is still a chance to fight hard, but in doing so, Everton's defence will become more dangerous, and it will be up to the players on both teams to perform.

It was clear that luck was not on Everton's side today.

After Gary Cahill failed to find the ball with a volley, Derby County counter-attacked again. Van der Vaart received a pass in midfield, shook off Stubbs and dribbled into the Everton penalty area. Hard-pressed defender Kilbani hoisted the ball into the Everton goal.

0:2！

It was a goal that silenced the Everton fans and excited the Derby County fans, not only for the score, but also for Van der Vaart's performance, who received a pass in midfield and almost single-handedly completed it from the halfway line to the shot.

Even though it was because Everton pressed heavily and defended laxly, it was also remarkable

0:2, the winner is decided!

With less than 20 minutes to go, it would be impossible to say that Everton had no chance at all, but both managers know that Everton's chances are running out.

Tactically, Derby County is so focused on defense that Everton doesn't press too much, and it's hard to find chances; In terms of fighting spirit, the morale of the whole Derby County team is high, while Everton, even manager David Moyes has little confidence; In terms of strength, Derby County is no worse than Everton.

Derby County have all sorts of advantages and Everton will be looking to catch up unless they wait for a miracle to happen.

Miracles are not easy to happen, and miracles often appear on the prepared side, Everton is now not even fighting spirit, how can they create any miracles?

Even manager David Moyes himself doesn't believe it.

David Moyes knows very well that he lost this game, and it is very important that he did not expect Derby County to focus on defense, and from the beginning he looked like he was playing defensive counterattacks, which was equivalent to giving more possession to Everton, and they used quick counterattacks to threaten Everton's goal again and again.

The other thing is that he underestimates Derby County a bit.

He originally thought that without Morris, Derby's morale and strength would be greatly affected, but the whole Derby County team was still full of fighting spirit, and everyone on the field was desperately trying to show their lives.

Anyway, he underestimated Derby County a bit.

Thinking of this, David Moyes looked at Wan Sheng with mixed feelings, and he knew that he had lost to the young man. Three encounters and three defeats, he almost watched the young Chinese bring a normal team in the second division to the Premier League schedule and play excellently.

And he, defeated

In the end, the two teams ended the game 0-2, and Derby County eliminated Everton to advance to the last four of the League Cup.

After the game, Wan Sheng and David Moyes shook hands politely, both of them were still smiling, as if they didn't care about the victory or defeat at all, but when the two shook hands, David Moyes said, "You won this time, but not necessarily next time." ”

Wan Sheng responded, "I'm looking forward to it. ”

"Yes."

The two didn't say a few words, and there was still a lot of gunpowder smell, but both of them maintained their demeanor, the expressions on their faces did not change, and they both scolded in their hearts when they turned around. "Old fox."

After that, David Moyes didn't care, he felt a little funny.

They all won, so what does the other party say?

Now it's a victory!

When you win, you should celebrate, just like those players and fans, instead of playing psychological warfare with the opposing coach, or thinking about post-game matters or something, Wan Sheng suddenly let out a sigh, "It's old!" ”

Diamares stood aside and was stunned when he heard this.

Are you old?

You're not even 28 years old, if you're old. So what am I? Old enough to go to heaven?

After the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with Everton, the media voice has also been much lowered, many media have thought that before Christmas will be a watershed, Derby County will face a severe test of injury, in this case, Derby County in order to adapt to the 'minimum two fronts' situation, will definitely use a certain rotation, even so, in the face of the Christmas busy schedule. Derby County will also be unable to do so, so the results will definitely be affected a lot.

But with Derby's win over Everton, they can't say anything more.

Regardless of whether there is a crisis in Derby County in the future, at least for now. They had no problem winning Everton by two goals, although the game was a bit passive, but on the road. It's already pretty good to win, so to say that Derby County is in crisis or something, the fans won't approve of it.

So the voice of the media has dropped a lot. The content of the media coverage of Derby County is also biased towards speculation about the winter transfer and what reinforcements Derby County will make.

It was a problem at hand, and all kinds of rumors arose.

At present, Derby County is still very attractive to players to join, which is mainly due to Derby's very good results, and another point is that until now, Wansheng's personal charm is also very strong, Derby County is full of people, basically he created it single-handedly, many young players in the team, in the top league are not famous at all, but they play very well, and now they have some fame.

That alone is enough to attract those young players to join.

In the eyes of many young players, especially 'promising' young players, Derby County is more attractive than Arsenal, although Wenger has the reputation of 'professor', but generally young players enter Arsenal, first have to mix a little time in the Arsenal reserve team or youth team, and only after being excellent can they enter the first team to find opportunities to play.

Derby County is different.

As long as the young players bought by Wansheng are directly in the first team, and they can start directly in the top league, such as Lichtsteiner and Nemanja Vidic who arrived in the summer, and other young players are promoted from the second division with Derby, and I have not heard of any young players leaving the team because of lack of strength, so Derby County is still very attractive to young players.

But that's about it.

For players who are already famous, Derby County is not attractive at all, the most important thing is that Derby County's salary level is a little low compared to the entire Premier League, and a famous player wants to transfer, and he must hope that his salary can rise, Derby County obviously can't meet this, so it is not easy for the media to analyze Wansheng to supplement the strength of the player.

But in fact, what they didn't know was that Wansheng had no plans to replenish players at all.

The winter transfer can indeed replenish the player, and the club's general manager Wilcox also prepared 2 million pounds for him to buy the player, which is naturally nothing compared to the strength of the star, but he can always buy two substitutes who can play, but Wan Sheng still refused.

The reason is simple, it is very difficult to integrate into the team by buying two players now.

At present, the 'os-fast' tactical system adopted by the team is not something that players can adapt to if they know a name or a concept, and they need to adapt to it for a long time, and they also need abundant physical support, how to run, how to cooperate, etc., a new player joins the team, many things need to be adapted, and the current Derby County is not a year ago, and it is not that the players can quickly integrate into it if they have the strength.

Buying players in the winter, it takes at least two or three months to adapt to the team, which is quite fast, after all, the team can't because of the new players on the overall tactical training, they can only train with the team, if under normal circumstances, the average player can adapt in three months, it is good, after three months of adaptation, it is already the end of March, or even April, by that time the Christmas intensive schedule has long passed, that is, the purchase of new players did not play any role at all, not to mention, £2 million can't buy any good players, and it's hard to have players in the winter transfer deal to be truly outstanding.

The current situation is a busy schedule for Christmas, and if winter transfers don't help with this, buying new players won't help, so you don't have to waste energy on it.

What Wansheng needs to do is to mobilize the club up and down, meet the upcoming games with high morale, better arrange recovery training, pay attention to the physical and mental condition of everyone in the team, maintain the team's condition, and minimize accidental injuries as much as possible.

These are the most critical and effective tasks for the intensive schedule of Christmas. (To be continued......) R1292
