Chapter 70: A Shift in the Situation

Pride Field.

The match between Derby County and Leicester City has officially begun, and as Wansheng analyzed, Leicester City have not changed their tactics, and they are still using the team's best steady advance, attacking with small areas to find opportunities.

This style of attacking football is quite eye-catching, and the cheers of Leicester City fans who have come to Derby County with the team in the stands are endless.

They have a lot of trust in the team.

Maybe in England, it is difficult to win the game by relying entirely on such technical football, but this is League One, and the teams in League One are not too strong, especially at the technical level, most of them have a big gap with Leicester City, and Derby County is obviously only one of them, and it is by relying on the crushing of technology that Leicester City can rank second in the league.

Being able to play well and be able to win is something that many Leicester fans are proud of.

On the other hand, Derby County, who are sitting at home, seem to have established a defensive-oriented tactic from the beginning of the game, and Leicester City fans scoff at such ugly football, and the opponent is completely at the opposite end of the spectrum - playing ugly and losing.

They can already imagine the outcome of the game.

Adams sat in the dugout and watched his team attack around the Derby County half, and a sense of superiority arose in his heart. Under the attack of his own team, the opponent could only defend half the court.

He curled the corners of his mouth in disdain and turned his head to look at the nearby Derby County dugout.

The young Chinese coach also sat there calmly, as if nothing had happened, and Adams was sure that he must be pretending.

Although the game has only just begun, their own team is already creating a frequent threat, and what about Derby County? It's been on the defensive.

Can you win by defending alone?

Pretend to be calm now, but the game will end eventually, and when the game is over and Derby County loses, can you still be as if nothing happened? Or they still insist on not attending press conferences and not accepting interviews from reporters...... Haha, only the weak do it.

Thinking of this, Adams was even more disdainful of Wan Sheng.

In the face of Derby's defensive tactics, Adams is quite confident, his confidence comes from the team's offensive ability, the team's superior technology, small-range coordination, passing and receiving ability, and even penetrating offense are very good. There are many teams that want to defend the goal when they play against Leicester City, but in the end, few teams can do it, as long as Leicester City scores a goal, then they have no point in defending.

That's Leicester City's strong attack.

Adams is convinced that it will be difficult for the average League One team to defend themselves completely, at least not at the time of their current opponents, Derby County.

So he saw that Derby County had been on the defensive, and he was very calm and calm.

Just by looking at the opponent's tactics, you can know that the balance of victory has tilted in favor of his own team.

……

Reporters in the media gallery are also taking notes of the game.

Seeing that Derby County defended at the beginning, many reporters immediately made a record, "...... Derby County started the game struggling needlessly. They want to rely on defense to hold on to a point, and they probably need God's help......"

They share Adams' view that Derby County can't keep the back of the net on defence alone.

Leicester City is second in the league, they can achieve this ranking, relying on the team's technology, the team's offensive football, their overall offensive ability is definitely one of the best in the league, even Portsmouth, which ranks first in the league, does not dare to say that the attack is stronger than Leicester City, the reason is that Leicester City's players have more delicate skills at their feet, and the team can do better in overall cooperation.

Derby County and Portsmouth were on the defensive all day and they were scored two goals by Portsmouth, and now they are against Leicester City, how many more goals will they score?

Two Ball ...... It's the most basic.

That's how mathematical substitution works.

Of course, there is a certain degree of uncertainty in football games, but in the eyes of the media, the uncertainty may be more calculated, especially since Derby County did not win in the first two rounds, and their fighting spirit will drop a lot.

At Pride Stadium, in front of so many of their fans, they may be shy to defend all the time!

With such a state of mind, the table will definitely be even worse!

Many Derby County mainstream media reporters thought of this, and they were secretly happy in their hearts, they all expected Derby County to lose again, and even if the Chinese coach didn't come to the press conference, they would be able to laugh at it to their heart's content!

At the same time, Derby County fans are also secretly worried about the team.

They would have supported the team's defensive tactics before the two games were winless, after all, the team has been winning, even if the game is a little ugly, the victory is the most important thing. But after two games without a win, although most fans still believe in Wansheng's ability, they will also question - if the team continues to defend like this, does the team really have any hope of winning?

Race...... But we're just getting started!

Many fans couldn't help but look at the Derby County coach's box, where the Chinese coach was sitting steadily, his face calm, and he didn't seem to be too worried?

What the hell was he thinking?

……

Wan Sheng didn't know what the fans thought, maybe he didn't care about it now, he just sat there and watched the game.

As for what the media thinks and what the opposing coach Adams thinks, even if Wan Sheng doesn't think about it carefully, he will know a rough idea. The team's defensive tactics are an important part of the 'strong criticism' of him by the media.

But Wansheng thinks differently than they do.

He also knows very well that it is not easy to defend the goal by relying on defense alone, and Leicester City's attack is indeed not to be underestimated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this team is the most technical team in League One, but he still believes that the team will win.

It's not a kind of confidence that comes from nothing, it's a kind of confidence in the team's tactics!

The defense arranged by Wansheng is very different from the general defense, and it is ...... Derby County will only defend? Not necessarily.

The race has just begun.

……

Ten minutes have passed.

After this opening time, it was clear to everyone that Derby County defended toughly, even a little rough. They showed decisiveness in defence, defending with determination every time and constantly colliding with Leicester City players, making the situation tense on the pitch.

This kind of defense makes Leicester City very uncomfortable.

In the face of tough defense, they have experience, but what makes them most nervous is the running of the Derby County players' defense, the opponent seems to be running without hesitation of physical fitness, whenever the football reaches the Derby County half, the opposing players will 'chase' the football and rush over, which makes the Leicester City players with the ball feel in crisis all the time, they have to pass it out as soon as possible, and as a result, whenever they advance past the halfway, they feel very nervous.

The Leicester players were a little confused.

The opponent's defense is indeed doing very well, but if they persist like this, will their physical fitness still keep up with the consumption?

On the coach's bench.

Wan Sheng looked at his own defense, but the corners of his mouth curled.

If you don't know, when you see the way Derby County defend, you will definitely think of the question of 'fitness', but if someone with a senior study of football games takes a closer look, they will know that the defense of Derby County players is not aimless, not stingy with physical ability.

This is Derby's defensive strategy, which is simply zone defence.

Each player is responsible for an area, and when the football enters a specific defensive area, they will run over to press, so that there is not much running assigned to each player, and considering that Derby County is almost all in defense and only presses in their own half, the physical consumption is not much more than that of Leicester City.

If you add the physical training tasks that Wansheng gave to the players......

……

The Leicester players didn't know any of this and they felt a sense of urgency in the game.

Although they were surprised by Derby's run-and-go defensive strategy, they had to admit that it worked quite well, at least enough to force them to pass the ball constantly.

They are good at passing, good at playing a small range of cooperation, but being forced by the opponent to continue passing, the tension comes out, many times, they will be forced by Derby County, a little panicked passing, so that when they are forced to pass, the passing error rate will increase significantly.

Soon it became clear to many people that Derby County were not just about defending.

Their counterattack and normal advancement are also very stable, which is especially shown in the transition between attack and defense, often many players stop the ball near the penalty area, and the first thing to do is to clear the siege with a big foot, but the Derby County players did not do this, unless they are in a particularly dangerous place, they always calmly pass the ball to their teammates after a steal, so as to let the football control their own side as much as possible, to move effective attacks and counterattacks.

In this way, the number of attacks of Derby County has increased significantly, and the likelihood of scoring goals has naturally increased a lot.

It's just that Derby County don't put a lot of energy into attack, every time they attack they don't have more than half of the total number of players in the front court, the team's main focus is still on defense, and so far they haven't been able to create much attacking threat.

But it must be admitted that Derby County has done a good job both defensively and offensively.

This came as a surprise to many.

Playing against Leicester City, it is rare to see teams that can do good defense and attack, and some sensible people began to make a calm analysis of Derby County's football, and they soon realized that Derby County was actually in the game, facing Leicester City had an advantage, and their advantage was the strength of the midfield.

Ferdinand, Vicente, Morris, Ian Taylor......

This solid midfield, is the Derby County defense, the center of gravity of the attack, in the defense, the first line of defense composed of several people, so that Leicester City many attacks stay outside the penalty area, they push the football through the Derby County half, they have to face a few people in the midfield defense, their running makes Leicester City full of urgency, and each of their individual abilities is quite comprehensive, every time they complete the tackle, Leicester City have to face a rather threatening counterattack.

Relying on this force, Derby County slowly recovered the disadvantage on the field.

Thirty minutes into the game, the score of the two teams was still o:o, but many people were unbelievable, Derby County's attack and defense were playing very well, on the other hand, Leicester City, who launched a formation attack at the beginning of the game, was somewhat suppressed
