Wan Sheng is hoping to renew his contract with Derby County.

Everyone has the mentality of 'stable life', ordinary people are like this, and the same is true of Wansheng.

Wan Sheng is used to living in the town of Great Derby, where everything is very good, there are good teams, players who trust him, there are familiar and well-connected colleagues, and there are also a group of fans who absolutely support him, because of these many reasons, Wan Sheng naturally does not want to leave.

But that doesn't mean he will unconditionally agree to the conditions offered by Derby County.

In Wansheng's view, it is still possible to talk about a lower salary, after all, he is not a person who lives entirely on the team's salary, and the money earned by his investment company is much higher than the salary, and becoming a football coach is not only for money, but also for hobbies, and for the pursuit of life in his two lives.

It's a job he loves.

Not everyone can do the work they like, there is a saying that 'what you like is not necessarily suitable, and what you are suitable is not necessarily like', which makes sense in love and work.

It is rare for a person to be able to do the job he likes, just like meeting the right person in love, you love her the most, and she loves you the most, it sounds very simple, in fact, it is good to have one out of ten couples like this.

That's the reality.

Therefore, Wansheng cherishes his work very much, and must do his best, and will not succumb to anything for the environment, not to mention, he has a football training master system, he will definitely be able to do a good job, and he also needs the best working environment, and the latter is based on a condition that must be required - the club's transfer power.

It's like Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, you can't say what players he needs and you can buy them, but the players he likes, Chelsea Club will never sell.

This is also the bottom line of Wansheng.

He doesn't want to see the players he has worked so hard to develop be sold by the club, which will bring revenue to the club, but he has nothing to do with himself.

The strength of the team has been damaged. It becomes difficult for him to lead the team to better results, he only loses but does not gain, so what has he become in the process?

A money-making opportunity that specializes in helping clubs develop talent?

This is not something that Wansheng can accept.

Even if the club offers a high salary contract, he will not agree, not to mention, the football training master system needs champions and successes one by one, and only with these can more functions be developed, and he will have more abilities, which also represents the improvement of his ability to lead the team.

In short, for a variety of reasons. All of them make Wansheng have to get the absolute right to transfer.

But it is clear that the negotiations are not going well in this regard.

The result of Kevin Tagore's feedback to him is that the club only agrees to retain the so-called 'player under 5 million pounds', which is almost the same transfer right, because even Bolton Reiter may be offered this price by the club, and he will not even be able to keep the reitter he has cultivated at that time.

"Absolutely not! Keep talking with them! Wan Sheng said sharply.

"Wansheng, this seems to be their bottom line." Kevin Tagore said, "They're holding on to it." They are willing to pay a higher salary. Nor will it give you that right. ”

"Higher salaries? How much? Wan Sheng curled the corners of his mouth disdainfully.

"A three-year contract, an average of about £4 million."

"That's all?"

If he had heard an annual salary of 4 million pounds when he was down, Wan Sheng would have agreed directly even if he didn't have any conditions. This is second only to Mourinho and Eriksen in England, and the same salary as Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, but now he doesn't care at all, after all, the situation is different. What he needs now is transfer rights, and Derby County have more than tripled their assets in two years just by relying on him. It's a matter of tens of millions of pounds, and if we can lead the team to the 'mini-treble' this season, the prize money of the two titles alone will be about 15 million pounds.

In this case, what is the salary of £4 million?

If it weren't for Wan Sheng, the Derby County club would not have been able to win the title at all, and because of this, he is absolutely confident to think so!

Because of this, Wan Sheng doesn't care about the £4 million salary at all, because he knows that there are definitely clubs willing to pay the same salary in the hope that he can join, and this season's results alone have fully proven his ability.

Competing for the Premier League title and the UEFA Cup is not a matter of luck!

The conversation between Wan Sheng and Kevin Tagore was inconclusive, and if the contract extension was not reached, the negotiations could only continue, even if it dragged on.

Wan Sheng didn't think about whether to leave, he hoped that the club would agree to his conditions; The Derby County club also did not want him to leave, because it was very difficult to find a replacement, especially Wan Sheng's population in Derby County is very high, and he absolutely said nothing about the player, and the fans absolutely supported him.

In this case, the club did not dare to turn against him.

They didn't even dare to announce the problems encountered in the contract renewal negotiations with Wansheng, because they were afraid that the club would encounter turmoil, and if they announced it, then the fans would definitely not support them, they had just taken over the club, and they didn't want to be embarrassed by the fans.

It's the same in the team.

Pearson and Sam Rush have been to the team, and if they look around, they know the respect that the players have for Wansheng, this respect is really a little terrible, they know that if there is a conflict between the club and Wansheng, the players will definitely support Wansheng If you really want to talk about it, the whole Derby County club, these players are the greatest wealth, just one player is nothing, but if it is resisted by all the players, even if the player belongs to the Derby County club, they will definitely not be able to bear it.

So even if the negotiations don't go well, the club can only appease Wan Sheng.

In this case, Wan Sheng couldn't say anything, and if the negotiations didn't go well, he continued to talk, he handed over the work to Kevin Tagore, and he focused on leading the team to the field.

On 8 April, Derby County travelled to Spain to take on Villarreal.

Spain's 'yellow submarines' are still quite powerful.

In 1923, the city of Villarreal, north of Valencia, also had a team of the same name, albeit like Levante. Villarreal spent most of its time in the lower leagues, and in the '60s, when the Beatles' masterpiece "Yellow Submarine" took Europe by storm, Villarreal fans would hum "Yellow Submarine" whenever they watched the game at home. Therefore, for Villarreal, who has never had an official team anthem, this popular song has quietly become the team's "quasi-team song", and Villarreal's home team uniform is a brilliant bright yellow, so "Yellow Submarine" has simply become the team's nickname.

The 1997-98 season ended on the occasion of the club's 75th birthday. Villarreal made it to La Liga for the first time. Excited fans spontaneously composed a team song to replace "Yellow Submarine", but the heroic nickname has been retained, and Villarreal has even designed a miniature submarine as the head of the machine to serve as the team's mascot.

The 'Yellow Submarines' are definitely quite strong at the moment, they can compete with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia in La Liga, and they will aim for a Champions League place every year, and they are doing well, Villarreal are currently third in the league, behind Real Madrid in second place.

In the Villarreal formation. The most famous player is Riquelme at the heart of the midfield.

Riquelme is one of the world's most famous football greats, and now at the age of 26, he is also in the prime of his professional football, having joined Barcelona. It's a pity that Barcelona was in a turbulent period of change at that time, and the new coach Rijkaard brought in the Brazilian genius Ronaldinho, but Riquelme became a victim and could only transfer to Villarreal.

But in Villarreal. Rickel did well, and he worked seamlessly with Diego Forlan to get Villarreal victory after victory. The team's ranking has also been rising.

Riquelme + Diego Fran is Villarreal's biggest killer.

These two are also Villarreal's most famous stars.

Worldwide, even Van der Vaart can't compare to Diego Forlan, let alone Riquelme, which has nothing to do with value, it's all about fame, and other Derby County players can't compare.

The star's fame may not be a problem, but at least it is a testament to Villarreal's quality.

Wan Sheng has no experience playing against Spanish teams, but he knows what to expect when playing against Spanish teams, and what he will inevitably encounter is a gorgeous style of play, exquisite coordination, outstanding skills, etc., these opponents must have all of them.

In this respect, Derby County is not necessarily weaker than Villarreal.

But Derby County is a Premier League team, and even if the players are skilled, as an English team, it is rare for them to really compete with their opponents, which is not the practice of Premier League teams.

When it comes to Spain, Wansheng will not change the team's 'Premier League style' and 'attack the other's strengths'.

So in the game with Villarreal, Wan Sheng chose a solid defensive counterattack - countless histories have proven that the most feared thing for La Liga teams is a solid defense, and the memory of the previous life is also sù Wan Sheng, even if it is as outstanding as Barcelona's 'Dream Three Team', there is still no way to take Mourinho's 'Defend Real Madrid', that is to say, playing against the Spanish team, the best choice is to defend and counterattack.

Riquelme's soft autumn wind has also affected the whole Villarreal team, they are better in La Liga, and now they have met Derby County from the Premier League, so Wansheng has a requirement for the players, "Be tough and tough!" ”

Everybody gets it.

When it came to the field, Villarreal met this tough Derby team.

They found that their gorgeous style of play was not effective at all, Derby County contracted the defensive line to defend solidly, there were few gaps in the backfield, and the important thing was that the opponent defended very roughly, and there was no room for the foot at all.

Before the game, they also felt that the opponent was a technically superior team, and the opponent was hailed by the English media as one of the best attacking teams in England.

But now I don't see that at all.

All they saw was a solid defense, rough movements, many Villarreal players were a little timid, and said in their hearts that we are here to play, not to fight with you, such a game, it is estimated that only in the derby battle can be encountered, but there is not such a big enmity between us!

The Derby players don't care what their opponents think. They just do what the coach tells them to do.

In fact, they also want to play a beautiful attack, but this is an away game, and it is not wise to tell them that it is not wise to fight with the opponent, so they still insist on playing like this, and most of the offense only relies on quick counterattacks.

This style of play is really uncomfortable for Villarreal.

Many Villarreal players are looking at Riquelme, Riquelme is the captain of the team, and he is also the midfield commander and spiritual pillar of the whole team, but at this time Riquelme is really a little self-conscious, his skills are soft, and his performance in the face of tough defense will be affected. What's more, Derby County also deployed against him, and whenever he got the ball, he always had to face at least two players pressing, so in such a situation, Riquelme really couldn't do anything about it.

As you can see from the match on the pitch, Derby County played very passively while Villarreal played very hard.

It's a tough battle for both teams

Both halves were very intense. However, Villarreal struggled to break through the Derby defence, who focused more on the defense, and as a result, the game went on for 80 minutes without either team scoring.

Until the 81st minute. The game was rewritten.

Villarreal made a mistake in a pass and the ball was broken by Morris on the halfway line, and Derby got a very good chance to counter-attack.

Morris crosses Ribery diagonally, and Ribery takes the ball and goes straight to the front. Villarreal was a little flustered and didn't have time to organise their defence, only to be cut inside by Ribery and pushed the ball across to Van der Vaart, who was following him.

Van der Vaart leaps past the opposition centre-backs with the ball. Face the goalkeeper!

In the panic of Villarreal goalkeeper Vieira, Van der Vaart accurately pushed the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal!

"The ball is in! Raphael van der Vaart! ”

With Van der Vaart's goal, all the Derby County people cheered.

Villarreal fans were silent, they didn't expect the team to be the first goal at home, especially when the game was scored for 80 minutes, the opponent is likely to take away the victory with this goal, so go to the away game again, will Villarreal still have a chance?

Just as Villarreal thought, Van der Vaart's goal became the only goal of the game, and the match between the two teams ended 0-1, and Derby County took the victory from the Love Song Stadium.

After the game, Wan Sheng led the team back to the club.

They didn't have time to reminisce about the win and soon ushered in a new league game, the 32nd round of which saw Derby County travel to Aston Villa.

Aston Villa is not weak, it is definitely a strong team in the Premier League, and this is their home stadium, Derby County is still quite cautious, serious preparation before the game, and the game is also very serious.

In the end, after a whole game, Derby County won 2-1 against Aston Villa.

It is worth mentioning that Ian Taylor, who came off the bench in the second half, scored the winning goal, his fourth goal of the season, and the goal against Aston Villa has a special meaning for him - he is a legend of Aston Villa and he has a deep affection for Aston Villa.

Ian Taylor has decided to retire at the end of the season.

Taylor's idea was to become a journalist, and in fact, he had already planned to do so last year, but Wan Sheng talked to him, and Derby County were going to play in the Premier League, so he chose to stay for another season, but now that it was almost over, he felt that he didn't have enough physical energy to face the professional game.

He also hopes that he can do his best to change his life.

And for Ian Taylor, that goal was enough to end his career perfectly, having spent most of his career at Aston Villa, and now it ended with a goal against his former club, which was really perfect.

But Ian Taylor has no intention of retiring now.

It's like he and Wan Sheng said, "I still have to follow the team to win the other two championships this season!" "If it weren't for the team's very good results this season, maybe he would have chosen to retire after the game.

Ending with a match against Aston Villa is not just another kind of perfection?

Wan Sheng shook his head with a smile and responded, "If you want to retire, I won't agree, the team needs you next." ”

"If that's comfort, I'm moved."

Ian Taylor laughed.

While the two were talking and laughing, a short, yellow-haired, flat-headed man suddenly walked into the dressing room, it was Sam Rush, the club's general manager, and he was followed by the club's president, Pearson.

The arrival of the two made the locker room quiet.

No one knows why the two suddenly walked into the dressing room, even if they were coming to Birmingham to watch the game, they didn't have to meet the players, right?

In everyone's doubts, Pearson smiled, put the small box in his hand on the table, and opened it directly to see that it was full of stacks of banknotes, "I want to congratulate you all first on your victory, no, our victory." ”

He pointed to the banknote and said, "This is the club's victory bonus for everyone!" One hundred thousand pounds, not too much, not too little, and I want to reward you for your victory. ”

"Now, I announce that from today onwards, you will receive a prize of 100,000 pounds for every game you win, and if you win the league, the prize money will be increased tenfold, and if you win the League Cup, it will be ten times as much!" (To be continued......)
