Ferguson soon found himself developing an attacking strategy that didn't work very well.

The two wingers, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs, are not bad, but they have to face defensive pressure from at least two players every time they get their hands on it, and most of the time they struggle to find chances.

At the beginning, Ferguson didn't feel anything, but after a long time, he found that Derby's defense was surprisingly solid, it stands to reason that the wing attack was limited, it must be the opponent's targeted arrangement, but the opponent's central defense is also very solid, Scholes and Roy Keane are also difficult to find opportunities, which makes Van Nistelrooy and even Rooney in front of him for a long time, not even touch the ball, let alone find any good opportunities to pose a threat to the opponent's goal.

Ferguson was taken aback.

He didn't expect Derby County to be solid defensively like this, and he felt more tricky against this Derby County side than against Chelsea.

He looked closely.

But the final conclusion is still the same, Derby's defense relies on non-stop running, non-stop pressing, if you really want to talk about it, there is really nothing surprising, but this makes Derby County's left, right, and center three lanes become very tight.

If you want to talk about the difference from other games, you can only talk about the formation.

433, a formation that Derby County rarely plays, Morris, Osman, Kennedy, Chelsea often use this set of 433 with three backs, Derby County seems to have 'borrowed', and the 'borrowing' seems to be even more powerful than the original.

Manchester United's attack can be said to be completely pressed outside the 'danger zone', and it is very difficult to penetrate it.

Ferguson couldn't help but get to his feet and walked to the sidelines.

It's not good

The game has just begun.

The tentative attack of the two teams had just ended, and the game had only been played for 20 minutes, and after this period, the United players found that their attack was getting tougher, they were surprised and unprepared - they thought Derby County would cause problems for the team in attack, but this is the defense? When did Derby County become more Chelsea than Chelsea?

The Manchester United players had been convinced that the game would be won. But now they don't have the heart to think about any victory, because they found that the opponent's defense is very solid, and the failure of the attack in the front court has also given the opponent a lot of opportunities, and as a result, after 20 minutes, it is Derby County who is more dangerous to Manchester United's goal.

The confidence of the Manchester United players has been frustrated.

They had been convinced that Derby County would be under a lot of pressure at Old Trafford and that they would be able to overcome them with a rush of decay, but they seemed to be completely unconcerned about the pressure, and they did not break through in attack for a long time. It didn't even make much of a threat, and as a result, the cheers of the United fans were much quieter.

Manchester United fans were looking to cheer on their team, but now they are starting to worry about their own goals.

In the opening seven minutes, Derby County used a quick counter-attack to break into the Manchester United penalty area and complete the shot, although there was no goal, but it still made the Manchester United people break out in a cold sweat.

In the opening 18 minutes, Derby County took the initiative to attack and passed 11 feet. The ball reached the feet of the unguarded Ribery, who chose to shoot directly, but unfortunately the ball was confiscated by Carroll.

In the opening 23 minutes, Derby County broke the ball at the back. Straight to the front of the field, Bolton Reiter squeezed Ferdinand with the ball to complete the shot, but unfortunately the shot was a little off, and the ball flew directly out of bounds.

By this time. All the fans in the stadium found that the initiative on the pitch belonged to Derby, who completely suppressed United - they attacked more often, attacked more dangerously, and the formation was much more advanced than the opening game.

Many fans and media who carefully analyzed the game were surprised!

From a popular point of view. More people are not optimistic about Derby, Derby County have a good result, they are also the first in the league, and they have the best hope of winning the league title, but after all, this is Old Trafford, it is Manchester United's turf, and it is not easy for any team to win here when Manchester United is well prepared.

But now the situation seems to be more in favour of Derbyshire.

Derby County defended solidly, attacked sharply and dominated the game, which is unpredictable, considering they face Manchester United at Old Trafford. It's not what they imagined.

How did the game come to be the way it is!?

A lot of people are full of doubts, especially the so-called 'football analysts', who want to find out why, so they take the game more seriously

Wan Sheng looked at the game strictly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

He was quite satisfied with the team's performance.

The team played very committedly, played to the fullest extent they were supposed to be, and in that way, he did it – the players didn't come under too much pressure from the fans, the pitch, they were solid, and the team achieved the strategic goal set before the game - to suppress the situation!

Derby's 'OS-Fast' attacking football, the most important thing is to press.

With the full-court tight defense, the use of fast attack again and again to suppress the opponent, if you can't achieve this effect, then the tactics are tantamount to failure, this is mainly a problem of pay and gain, the team uses offensive-based tactics, the whole field tight defense is the participation of all players in the team, and all players are constantly running, constantly pressing, which pays much higher physical fitness than the opponent, the purpose of increasing the run is naturally to make the defense more stable, to bring pressure to the opponent, if this can not achieve results, then it would be better to shrink the line and defend - at least that way the team doesn't have to spend too much energy.

The purpose behind the series of football terms is to give the team more offensive opportunities to suppress the opponent, which is also the most important aspect of the 'OS-Fast' offensive football system to play a role.

With suppression, there can be more offensive opportunities, more offensive opportunities, one can bring more scoring opportunities, and the other can bring the initiative of the game.

In football, it's important to take the initiative, but for some defensively good teams, it's also good for them to give the initiative to their opponents. But for the tactics that Derby County are now adopting, the initiative is very important, and with the initiative, the team can play at 'their own pace' so that the team can play better, and the opposition need to adapt to the rhythm of the team.

One after another, the role of controlling the initiative can be imagined.

Now that the team has played a tight game, Wan Sheng believes that as time passes, the team will soon be able to bring Manchester United into their own rhythm, and then it cannot be said that the victory or defeat is decided. But there is basically no suspense, the only thing to look at is the performance of the players on the field and some luck components

On the pitch, the Manchester United players were a little impatient.

When they find that the team is not attacking well and the opposition is more threatening, they can only shrink the defence, strengthen the defense and then try to find opportunities.

But they don't want to give up the initiative!

At Old Trafford, the only one in charge of the game is Manchester United, and all the Manchester United players think so. Maybe some of them don't know the meaning and the concept, but they know that they should play more aggressively, at least not always be suppressed by their opponents.

They fought fiercely in midfield, and one by one the players learned from Derby County. Take the initiative to go up and grab the ball.

It seemed to have had some effect, as Derby County attacked twice in a row before they were suddenly intercepted, and United launched two quick counter-attacks. But when Derby County stabilized their position, the effect was completely lost, after all, Manchester United's defensive strategy was not to press all over the field. They do it occasionally, but when the players do it, it's just one or two players, not the whole team, and Derby only needs to fall to the ground to make them go nowhere, but pressing forward will make them easier to shake off, and then the United defence will be in a lot of danger.

In attack, United are a little impatient.

C-Ronaldo, Scholes, Giggs, Rooney, these stars in the front court, after seeing that it was difficult to find opportunities for passing coordination, they continued to use their individual ability to make breakthroughs, as if they wanted to prove that they have the ability to decide the outcome of the game by one person, and whenever the ball reached their feet, they had the opportunity to stage a drama of individual heroism.

It's a pity that football is a team sport.

Going it alone can sometimes play a good role, but not every time it can be effective, especially Derby County's defense is very dense, in the face of Derby's two backfield players, even C-Ronaldo, it is difficult to completely get rid of the two, and more often it is directly cut off.

Manchester United's stars are a little helpless.

Offensively, it is very difficult to play with passing, and it is a waste of opportunity for individuals to go it alone, and they don't know how to continue playing.

As a result, the situation for Manchester United has become much more passive.

Manchester United took the initiative to attack less and less, and at the same time the initiative of the game gradually lost, and after the 35th minute, Derby County completely suppressed Manchester United, and suddenly looked at the game, and thought that Manchester United was playing defensive counter-attack.

Seeing this situation, Wansheng smiled with satisfaction.

He walked back to the dugout and sat down, took a piece of gum and threw it in his mouth with Diamares, crossed his legs, and spoke to the others with ease.

Wan Sheng felt like he didn't have to worry about anything at all.

He believes that the team has won half of the game, and the only thing missing is a goal

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the camera pointed to Wan Sheng.

In the TV camera, Wansheng's comfortable movements and tables were presented in front of thousands of fans, and a commentator teased, "Look! If you don't know, you still think that Wan Sheng is just watching the game, his approach is no different from ordinary fans, maybe his mentality is more relaxed than that of fans, even when Manchester United attacked just now, he didn't seem to be worried about the goal. ”

'But the situation is the same, so far Manchester United don't seem to be playing very well'

"They're completely suppressed by Derby!"

Following the commentator's words, the camera pointed to the Manchester United coach's box, only to see Ferguson standing on the sidelines, frowning, "Look, this is Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, he seems to be worried about the game." ”

"Interestingly, at the beginning, Wan Sheng was standing on the sidelines, also worried about the game, and now it is Ferguson's turn, Wan Sheng is back in the coach's seat and sits down easily, and now the expressions and movements of the two are just the opposite of the beginning"

"It's kind of funny."

“”

Just as the commentator teased the two coaches, Derby County launched another fast attack.

After a couple of passes, the ball quickly reached the corner of the box on the left, and Ribery took the ball with his back, squeezed Giggs, and swept left and right in search of opportunities.

When football arrived, United fans started to get worried.

In fact, at the beginning of the game, even if the football was in danger zone, they were not too worried, because they believed that Manchester United could defend well, but after Derby County threatened Manchester United again and again, when the football appeared near the penalty area, Manchester United fans began to get nervous.

As time went on, Derby County gradually took control of the situation, and the attack grew, and the worries of United fans grew.

It's the same this time.

With more than seven players up front, the Derby County defence looked a little stretched – even though all 11 of their players were at the back.

The ball was still at Ribery's feet and Ryan Giggs tried to scramble, but Ribery was very protective and he didn't succeed.

The two teams faced each other for more than ten seconds.

In the end, Ribery chose to give the ball to Osman, who got the ball and handed it to Layton Baines.

After a two-foot pass, the ball moved away from goal, much to the relief of United fans.

But at this moment, everyone in the audience saw that Baines ran two steps forward, followed by a big foot to meet the ball.

The soccer ball flew high on the right side of the pitch!

Suddenly, Wan Sheng's expression was much more solemn, and he watched the game without blinking. Baines's long pass was very sudden, but he felt that this pass was very familiar, and it seemed to be the team's usual tactical routine, especially the position of the frontcourt players now, which made him even more determined.

It's not just Wansheng, Diamares also sees it.

He shouted with some excitement, "Wansheng, look! Golden opportunity! ”

As a coach, whether it's a head coach or an assistant coach, you want your work to be fruitful.

The tactics that the team often practiced were not formulated by Wansheng alone, Diamares definitely contributed a lot, and even in many details, he thought more than Wansheng. To distinguish between Wan Sheng's job is to make a general plan, and other coaches such as Diamares are responsible for filling in the content and refining the routine.

Now Diamares is seeing the fruits of his work!

The position and running of the players on the field of play have changed closely following the pass of Layton Baines, maybe the players on the field do not know that they are playing according to the training routine, they just subconsciously do it, and then a set of routines used in training to attack is formed on the playing field.
