Chapter Seventy-Six: To Make It Worse
Everyone was surprised when Leyton Bynes came into the open and fired a decisive shot into the back of the net. △↗
Wan Sheng waved his hand slowly and said to Diamares, "He is really better than he imagined!" ”
Diamares nodded dumbly.
The players on the Derby County bench also talked after cheering for the goal.
"It's Leyden!"
"That kid actually scored!"
"Oh my God! That's not true, is it? That kid really scored!? ”
The Derby County players on the pitch reacted quickly, and Morris, who was nearby, hugged Layton Bynes and shouted, "This ball is fantastic!" ”
The others also ran over and congratulated Baines.
They were quite surprised by the goal, just because it was Layton Baines, who was a full-back, let alone scored, in fact, he wanted to find a shot on goal, it was difficult to have a last time in a game, but he took advantage of the opportunity to score the goal, which was surprising to them.
The same goes for the Norwich players, who are also talking about scoring.
'It was their full-backs who scored the goal.
"He defended well, but I didn't expect a long shot to be good!"
"Keep an eye on this kid!"
In addition to the players on the field, the Norwich fans in the stadium were very helpless about the goal, they expected the team to score at the beginning, but the team was unable to score a goal, and then they were suppressed by the opponent, so they began to worry about the team's goal, but they didn't expect this moment to come.
The opponent has scored!
Or a long-range goal from a full-back!
Just from this goal, you can see how passive Norwich is, the opposing full-backs dare to insert into the middle to shoot a long shot, which shows that the team is really passive.
In short, they are dissatisfied with the team's performance.
At the same time, the Derby County fans cheered and began to celebrate the goal, and their voices could still be heard on the pitch during the moments of silence of the Norwich fans, but the sound quickly aroused the fighting spirit of the Norwich fans. They immediately silenced the cheers with boos and told the Derby County fans that this was their turf!
The TV cameras were filming Layton Bynes, who was already surrounded by his teammates and everyone came up to rub his head, which had become a mess.
"Derby County players stepped forward one by one to try their luck," Sky TV commentator Belko Krysman explained with a smile.
In the professional game, there is a lot of luck in the game, but most of it is after the header and everyone thinks that you have a good head and can score. Then I went over and touched my head to try my luck.
So it's not like this on the field now, the Derby County players did this, the purpose is actually to vent their psychological jealousy, Layton Baines can score, but they still haven't scored after playing for a long time, so they all went to rub Baines's head hard, but also to take the opportunity to sarcastically Baines is short, in short, this is purely too jealous.
Layton-Bynes just smiled stupidly.
He's still happy about the goal, it's a dream for him. He didn't care what the others were doing, now he was thinking about the goal, the only thing he could do was stand there and giggle, and he didn't know how long it had been. He stopped giggling, and only then did he remember to tidy up his head that had become a bird's nest.
He rolled his eyes at his teammates next to him.
The others pointed to his head and laughed, "That's interesting! "Less against more people, especially when it was my own goal. Baines could only run away with some grumbling, but he was still very happy in his heart.
Goal!
It's like a dream!
After the game resumed, Derby County continued to attack Norwich City in the half. They kept attacking to keep Norwich at bay.
Norwich wanted to fight back, after all, they conceded a goal, they didn't want to end the first half with a goal, they wanted to score, they wanted to equalize.
But they quickly realised that it was unrealistic to try to turn things around in the first half.
Derby County were fighting with the aftermath of the goal, they ran more aggressively, they defended more decisively, they attacked more sharply and targetedly, and as a result, Norwich's counter-attacks were always frustrated in midfield, and on several occasions in a row, Norwich also knew that it was too difficult to fight back now.
Then they strengthened the defense.
In the following period, Derby's attack was in full swing, and everyone was full of expressions, the most shining of which was undoubtedly Ribery, who was like Mark Revos in the opening period, constantly using his individual skills to break through Norwich's defence.
But Norwich don't have Leiton-Baines.
As a result, Ribery's breakthrough was not hindered too much, nor was he directly tackled or anything, he used sharp breakthroughs again and again to tell everyone that he was stronger, more technical, and faster than Mark Revos.
Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, quietly watching the game.
He is very satisfied with Ribery's appearance, Ribery is such a player, as long as he is given space to swing, he will not disappoint, he is very pleased that he bought Ribery in the summer, otherwise the team's offense will definitely drop a notch, relying on Morris alone, it is really difficult to bring the whole team alive, and it would be much better to have one more Ribery to share in the attack.
Morris is calm, he leads the attack, the overall play is very stable, will not make mistakes, while Ribery plays sharper, more targeted, he can use his personal skills to tear apart the opponent's defense, the two have their own strengths and weaknesses in this regard, but there are two core points, and it is not easy for the opponent to limit it.
Norwich can't do that now, so they're a bit scrambling by Derby.
Wan Sheng hoped that the team could take advantage of the last time to score another goal, so that the second half of the game would be much easier, but in the end, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the team still could not complete the goal.
With a goal advantage, the Derby players returned to the dressing room.
The result was slightly unsatisfactory, of course, for Derbyshire, but in reality, it was a surprise to many people, such as reporters in the media box.
The first half was completely different from what they had imagined.
In the opinion of most media journalists. Norwich are a bit stronger than Derby County overall, and this is Norwich's home stadium, so the game should be Norwich's lead.
Not only the score, but the situation of the game between the two teams in the final stage of the first half was also surprising - Derby County was actually playing against Norwich!
How can this be!?
It should be normal for Norwich to be at home, always pressing Derby County to play, and scoring a goal to win, such a routine is normal, but the reality is different from what I imagined, Norwich did not score, not to mention. In the second half, it was completely reversed, with Derby County pressing Norwich City to attack, and Derby County scoring again, and they went into the break with a lead.
That's not right!
"Norwich doesn't swing very well," a reporter worried about Norwich.
"It must be a bad swing!"
"They probably weren't prepared for the game!"
"Worthington doesn't usually make that kind of mistake."
"How not! Even the best coaches can make mistakes, not to mention that Worthington is not a big coach! ”
"He was careless!"
“”
Meanwhile, in the home team's dressing room at Carrow Road, Norwich coach Worthington, who has been complained about by reporters, is analysing the problems of the first half for his players. And explain the tactics of the second half.
Judging from the first half, Norwich underestimated the Derby County defense, they thought that they could beat Derby County head-on with a direct attack, but Derby County defended solidly. Especially pressing near the halfway line made Norwich a little scrambling, and many attacks were stopped in midfield.
In response to this situation, Worthington asked his players to make more targeted passes. When playing, you have to be a little more calm, and at the same time, you need to increase the change of possession in the left and right middle lanes, rather than just relying on going straight forward. It's too easy to get restricted.
"We're going to fight them head-to-head!"
Worthington looked at the players, shook his fist and said, "Guys, even though we were one goal behind in the first half, it didn't matter, it was just a one-goal gap!" We're playing at home, we're better than them, so we can get that one goal back! ”
"This is one of our best seasons, and it's up to us to get three years of experience! Now we are second in the league and if we beat them, we will be first in the league! This season our goal is to be promoted, preferably as the top of the league, and I don't think we need to talk about it anymore, all we need is to play and always remember that we are a good team, we are better than them, and now is the time to test us. ”
Worthington waved his eloquence to cheer the players on.
"Forty-five minutes in the second half is a decisive battle to test us! We have to prove that Norwich are a strong team, the strongest of the 24 teams in League One at the moment! We are destined to be back in England this season and we want to prove it by beating them in this game! ”
"This is a decisive battle!"
"Let's go on the court and show them the quality of Norwich, who will really win the championship!"
Worthington's words were still clear, and when the second half restarted, the Norwich players were in a completely different state of mind than they were when they came off the pitch in the first half.
As a result, Norwich launched a big attack on the Derby County half in the opening period.
They didn't make any major changes to their tactics and the overall idea was still to play against Derby, but their passing was more targeted, their combination was more fluid, and their attack was more resolute.
Relying on this resoluteness, at the beginning of the second half, Derby County was attacked for a long time.
In the coach's seat, Wan Sheng frowned as he watched the game.
He knew very well that it would not be easy for the team to win away from Norwich, but he did not expect that after just one half-time, Norwich would change so much, and when they were fully explosive, it was indeed difficult to limit them.
He wants the team to hold on.
At least until Norwich's attacking wave, as long as they don't concede a goal during this time, then the team can regain the pressure on the field, and then the victory will belong to Derby County.
Wansheng is still very confident in this.
Whether it is Norwich or Derby, they are mainly attacking, Norwich's attack is simple, direct and effective, and Derby's offensive technical content is a little higher, and it is not easy to defend and suppress. It is very difficult for the opponent to turn the tables, although tactically superior to Norwich, but football games are always about the swing of the players, not the superiority of the tactics.
A few years later, Barcelona are very strong, their tactics are quite superior, their squad is almost perfect, but they still have the advantage of losing, especially after Mourinho enters the Bernabeu Stadium, which can directly make Real Madrid and Barcelona go against each other.
Therefore, tactical superiority does not mean victory. There are even times when a simple soccer ball works better.
Just like Norwich now, their offensive thinking is very simple, but they play very targeted, and the attack is very sharp, and as a result, Derby County was forced to be a little scrambling for a while, and they had to retreat some to strengthen the defense, so that Norwich achieved pressure on the field.
Wansheng hopes that the team can hold on, but luck is not always on the side of Derby.
About ten minutes into the second half. Norwich City did it again, and it was centre-back Matthias Svensson, who received a pass from the wing in the box and headed the ball over the ball into the Osman goal.
1:1。
Norwich equalised.
With a goal from Matthias Svensson. The Carlo Road stadium turned into a sea of cheers, and every Norwich fan was cheering for the team's goal, and the on-site commentator was delighted to say, "The goal is in!" Matthias Svensson! His head is a credit to Norwich! ”
"Now it's 1-1. But I believe the rest of the time belongs to Norwich! ”
Not only the on-site commentators, but also many reporters in the media gallery thought so, seeing Matthias Svensson's goal. They had a smile on their faces and felt like the game was back on track.
Norwich keeps attacking, Norwich scores, that's right!
This is the rhythm that is normal and should be!
Recall that it's normal for Derby County to have occasional attacks, after all, Norwich can't attack the whole game in a row, but that kind of attack is only when Norwich slow down the tempo for them to have a chance to do that, otherwise, they wouldn't have had any chance at all.
As long as Norwich get serious, the game will get back on track.
The rest of the time will definitely belong to Norwich.
The media reporters thought with satisfaction
By the time Norwich had celebrated their goal, the game was restarted and Derby County regrouped under Morris.
This wave of advancement is very calm.
However, when Morris saw that the opponent's formation was a little chaotic, he immediately accelerated his attack, and he kicked the ball to Osman, and he ran forward quickly.
Osman catches the ball and hoists it to Morris.
Morris stopped the ball and turned, shook off the opposing defender, and slid the ball forward to the left for Ribery.
The Norwich players seemed to be immersed in the beauty of the goal just now, and they didn't expect Derby County to play very resolutely in this wave of attacks, and as a result, the football passed two or three times to the feet of Ribery on the left side of the penalty area.
By the time they realised the danger, Ribery had hoisted the ball into the box.
The soccer ball arcs through the air.
The on-site commentator no longer had the heart to talk about the goal just now, and immediately focused on the big shot, and subconsciously shouted, "Danger!" ”
The Norwich players are also aware.
There were three Derby County players rushing forward in the box, Cahill in front of him, but the ball flew over his head, followed by Morris, who kept running forward to lead the whole attack, and he jumped up as if to scramble for the ball, but after jumping it was still a lot worse than football.
He didn't get it.
Just as Norwich was taking a long breath, Bolton Reiter at the back post followed, he was in a good position, he was surrounded by a defender, but it was difficult to hinder him.
He jumped into the air.
The football is overhead, and he is going to shake his head hard.
But the next moment, no one expected that Bolton-Reiter fell directly on the grass, and the football flew over the sky and flew directly out of the bottom line.
There was some confusion in the exclusion zone.
The referee didn't blow the whistle for a foul, just got Bolton Reiter to his feet and signalled for Norwich to take the goalball.
Wan Sheng, who was standing on the sidelines, was quite dissatisfied with this decision, he ran to the fourth official, pointed in the direction of the Norwich penalty area, and shouted, "Look at it! Their player fouled, that number six! He fouled! My player fell to the ground! ”
"Calm down! Mr. Wan Sheng! The fourth official held his forehead and said, "We should trust the referee!" ”
"Trust the referee? My player was about to shoot but he fell to the ground and it turned out to be a goalball? How do you make me believe!? Wan Sheng said with some annoyance.
He knows very well that Reiter is not the kind of player who can 'fake falls', and Reiter must have fallen because of the opponent's movements.
But no matter what he said, the fourth official just listened.
Soon Wan Sheng didn't have the heart to waste time with the fourth official, because Bolton Reiter didn't get up for half a day.
"What's going on?" Wan Sheng watched.
The referee only realized this, and he had just motioned for Bolton-Reiter to get up and start the game again, but Reiter held his knees and did not fall to the ground, and his face was full of pain.
The Derby County players all ran over to look.
Soon the referee signaled the team doctor to carry the stretcher onto the field, Wan Sheng hurriedly asked the team doctor to go up, and Norwich was busy in front of the penalty area for a while before the team doctor carried Reiter off the field.
"How's it going?" Wan Sheng asked a little nervously.
"He's got a knee injury, and he'll have to check it out yet." The team doctor said.
Wan Sheng couldn't help but yell at the fourth official next to him, "Did you see that?" My player went off injured and it turned out to be a goalball! A bunch of bastards! ”
The fourth official said earnestly, "Watch your words, sir. ”
Wan Sheng rolled his eyes, but this is not the time to panic, Leiter was injured a little unexpectedly, especially in front of the goal, a good opportunity was missed, and it was even more unexpected to fall to the ground and be injured.
The opponent scored a goal to equalize, and his side finally found an opportunity, but it was really worse for Reiter to be injured again.
Wan Sheng glanced at the bench, exhaled a long breath, and finally staggered Ian Taylor and pointed to a veteran sitting together, "Peski, get ready to play!" (To be continued!)
