Derby County drew with Aston Villa in the third round and picked up just one point and dropped to ninth in the league table. ◇↓ Top ◇ ↓ Point ◇ ↓ Small ◇ ↓ Said, www.

Their first three league results are one win and two draws, which is actually very good for a promoted horse, especially their first three opponents are Arsenal, Blackburn Rovers and Aston Villa, Blackburn is a Premier League powerhouse, Aston Villa is a traditional powerhouse, Arsenal as the defending champion, is one of the top teams in England, facing such three opponents, as a promoted horse, it is really good to be able to play one win and two draws.

Derby County fans can also say with satisfaction, "We are unbeaten in three games in a row!" They can also say, "We got the Community Shield, two wins against Arsenal!" ”

Derby County fans are still very satisfied with the team's results, which has actually exceeded other expectations, more teams at the beginning of the season, but hope that the team can keep the Premier League position this season, simply put, 'complete relegation', with the current team results naturally do better than this expectation.

However, in the English media, the evaluation of Derby County is not very good.

This may be related to the previous Derby County's big win over Arsenal, and the media's high expectations for Derby County, and more importantly, the hostile media of Derby County saw that they played average results, and directly issued a voice of schadenfreude -

'Draw with Aston Villa, Derby County are going downhill!'

"Their grades are going to get worse and worse!"

"The Chinese said he wanted to qualify for the Champions League, but what he needs to think about now is to keep the league position, and for a promoted team, ninth in the league should also be satisfied!"

'What else can Derby do when they can't score?

"Do they really think they can run rampant in the Premier League with a League One squad?"

'They didn't have time to celebrate the Community Shield before they had time to worry about the league result, after their win over Arsenal. Showing a decline, it seems that their first defeat is not far away! ”

“”

Of these media reports, Arsenal is perhaps the most embarrassing, the media is not optimistic about Derby, but Arsenal lost to Derby twice in August, and the voice in the media seems to be saying that the other teams know about Derby County in the two games between Tongguò and Arsenal. So their game against Derby County will be a lot easier.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger would have gloated if he had heard other teams say this, but now he can't laugh at all, because they are the 'team that is talked about', the team that paved the way for other teams to face Derby, losing twice to Derby County has put Arsenal in an awkward position, and their league results are also average - three games, one win, one draw and one loss, with four points. Ranked 12th in the league.

Because of this, Wenger has not spoken for a long time.

In an interview, Arsene Wenger will also keep quiet about Derby County, only talking about the current situation of the team. and the expectation of improved grades.

For these reports, Wan Sheng has been prepared for a long time.

He knows very well that as long as the team does not perform well, he will face a lot of criticism, mixed with more schadenfreude. But he believes the team will use the watch to make those voices disappear, and all they need is time.

August is coming to an end. During the month, the team also gained a lot.

The biggest takeaway was the Community Shield, which was a minor trophy that made the Derby County fans happy, and it was a rare honour in the history of the Derby County club.

Wan Sheng is more interested in the actual effect of this trophy - the 5 points of the 'Cup Honor' of the Football Training Master System.

An FA Cup winner brings 30 points to the 'Cup Winner' honor ability, and the Community Shield only has 5 points, but it's better than nothing, and now the honor skill becomes, "Cup Champion (Points: 35): In the light of the Cup Champion aura, your players will have a 3.5% increase in all personal spirit stats in the official state of play." ”

In addition, this also made progress in Wansheng's one-person honor mission.

Three days before the start of the first round of the league with Arsenal, Wan Sheng received a personal task for the season, with a total of three tasks, which are basically similar to last season, the first task is nothing more than the league ranking task, leading the team to get the top four in the league can get the biggest reward, and getting the top six rewards is worse, and there is nothing else; The second task is a fixed winning streak achievement task, in the Premier League to achieve five consecutive wins, ten consecutive wins, fifteen consecutive wins, naturally there is experience to take, but in fact, even if there is no task in terms of achievement, there is experience, such as 1 league victory, there are 50 points of experience, 10 league wins, there are 100 points of experience, Wan Sheng is estimated to win 100 games, will definitely get a lot of experience, of course, this is certainly not as much experience as the achievement task; The third is the Honor Mission, this time it is not a simple 'get a championship and open the Honor Skill', but it has become a more difficult task.

"Personal Honor Mission:

Description: You need to lead your team to three championships in the 2004-2005 season.

Mission Progress: (1/3)

Rewards: 2000 XP points, MAX points for the honor skill 'Glory'. ”

The mission requirement is to win three championships, and the difficulty is quite high.

At present, there are only five titles that Derby County clubs can compete for, including two cup competitions – the Premier League, UEFA Cup, League Cup, FA Cup and the Community Shield, which is still eligible for participation based on last season's results.

Even if you win the Community Shield, if you want to complete this task, you still need to win two titles, and it is very difficult to win the league and UEFA Cup, the League Cup is easier, but you also have to face fierce competition, Derby County won the FA Cup last season, but if you want to defend the FA Cup, the difficulty is needless to say, in short, it is very difficult to complete this honorary task.

However, the task is difficult, and the reward is also very generous - a max point honor skill, 'glory', I don't understand what the name means, but a point max honor skill will definitely not be bad, such a reward, Wan Sheng is still very excited, so far. He only has two honor skills, and he doesn't have many points, and his effectiveness is also very average, if he can have a top honor skill, the strength of his team will naturally be greatly improved.

In addition to the harvest of the Community Shield, the other kind can not be regarded as a harvest, it should be regarded as a 'problem', after the first three rounds of the league, Wansheng saw some problems with the team, especially with Blackburn and Aston Villa. The team did well in attack, but they couldn't score goals for a long time, and that's the problem - the team's attacking ability was not up to the mark.

To say that for a promoted horse, the two traditional powerhouses of the Premier League can only choose to defend and counterattack, this alone is already something to be proud of, but Wansheng is not proud, he has to think about how to break through the opponent's defense when the opponent chooses a solid defensive counterattack.

In that regard, perhaps no other team has done much better than Derby County. Even a team like Arsenal that is very good at attacking.

But if you think about it from another perspective, if Arsenal played normally, they would definitely not have this kind of trouble.

That's the problem.

It sounds like Derby County beat Arsenal twice. It seems that the attacking ability is stronger than Arsenal, but in reality it is not, the team wins against Arsenal not only by attack, but also by defence. Relying on a tight defense all over the field, the team made Arsenal's attack unable to play, and they couldn't score goals. The team's chances of victory are naturally greater, and when facing Blackburn Rovers and Aston Villa, these two teams directly choose to defend and counterattack, defend and counterattack, first defend, then counterattack, so it is difficult for the team to score goals in the face of a solid defense.

Derby County didn't have this problem last season, that's because the defensive ability of the League One team is like that, like Ipswich is the best of them, and the Premier League team and the League One team are not at the same level at all, even if it is not a traditional defensive team like Aston Villa, they defend seriously, and the back line is also extremely solid, and it is not easy for Derby County to rely on offensive efforts to break the opponent's goal.

That's the key reason for the two draws.

The only thing that makes Wan Sheng happy is that the team's defense is doing very well, if you hear him say this, many people must feel incredible, but in fact, it is precisely because of the solid defense that the team can let go of the attack, and the team's tactics are also based on defense.

For the average promoted horse, it is not bad to be able to draw with the Premier League powerhouse, but Wan Sheng is very dissatisfied, he wants to strive to complete the honorary task of three championships.

As soon as the opponent chooses to defend, it is very difficult for the team to win, and it is too difficult to win three titles, which means that any opponent knows how to play against the team, which is definitely not good.

Then the only way is to increase the team's attacking ability.

Last season, at the beginning of the season, Wansheng considered adding more offensive means to the team, but now, the team's squad is solid, and the strength of players in all positions is quite good.

Therefore, Wansheng's idea is to make some adjustments to the team's formation.

Last season, the team was at its best.

Whether it is the overall lineup, tactics, and player play, the team played 100 percent, or even 120 percent last season, think about it, last season with a slightly stronger squad than the English League, Derby County defeated Manchester United to win the FA Cup, and that Manchester United also played well, Derby County's performance can be imagined.

It doesn't have much effect to make any changes to tactics and player performance, and Wan Sheng still refers to the style of play of top English teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea in order to find some inspiration.

After two days, Wansheng found some reasons.

He saw the disadvantages of the team and the top teams in terms of playing style - such as Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams, some powerful stars in the game will have a lot of room to play, such as their wing Pire, C-Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs and other dribbling, Henry, Vanney and other shooters are very active in the penalty area, they can also show their footwork to shoot when they receive passes, in short, when these stars are good, their tables will attract the attention of fans.

That's not the case with Derby County right now.

For example, since the beginning of this season, Ribery's table has been a little low, although Van der Vaart's table is eye-catching, but if it weren't for that goal and two assists, his table is actually very flat, and the other players are the same, in addition to goals, the team shows the cooperation of the whole team.

Wansheng asked for this, but in fact, he didn't ask the players not to play individually, but this is the case in the current team game, he stared at the tactical board for a long time to figure out the problem - the 442 formation that the team has been using restricts the players' personal play space!

For example, for example, Frank Ribery, he was very active on the wing last season, and now he also has the ball, but there are few bright times, one of the key factors is that there is more Van der Vaart in the front, Cahill rarely retreats and cooperates with the midfield, but Van der Vaart's running is very active, and he likes to cooperate with his teammates, so Ribery is used to passing the ball to Van der Vaart and Morris to each other, and the name of the 'trident' on the left side of the front court is good, but it also limits the position and play of the three at the same time.

The same goes for Van der Vaart.

He has a center forward in front of him, and Morris in the back, sandwiched between the two, he plays more of a connecting role, and Morris is not much worse than him, if there is no Van der Vaart, in fact, Morris can pass the ball directly to the center forward, so many times, Van der Vaart's connection role is also very small.

The space in the front court is limited, and the addition of an active Van der Vaart naturally affects the personal play space of many players.

Of course, this is not to say that more Van der Vaart is bad, but one more Van der Vaart has not made the team's offensive ability much improved, for example, the team's original offensive ability is 100, and with Van der Vaart's ability of 20, the offensive ability has become 105, in fact, it is only 5% more, and it has not increased much, because Van der Vaart has also affected the performance of other players.

Wansheng's job now is to get Van der Vaart to play at 20 without affecting the other players.

To sum it up, it's - give the team's 'stars' more room to play
