Wan Sheng was stunned when he heard the news.

He had thought about many reasons why the club would not renew his contract, but he never thought that a consortium would suddenly buy the club. He knows that the Premier League club is acquired by foreign capital, which is the general trend in the future, such as Chelsea now, Manchester United next year, Manchester City after 07, etc., these teams will be settled by foreign capital, what he didn't expect is that Derby County will also be acquired.

Derby County is different from the above big clubs, the current Derby County is not listed, and it is completely owned by the club's chairman Ji Smith, which means that if Ji Smith wants to sell the club, it is relatively simple.

But no matter how simple it is, it takes a long time to settle, after all, a club can be more than one team, but also includes a variety of channels, the American consortium settled in the Premier League club, in order to certainly not like Abramovich, just keep filling in the money to make the team better, their purpose is to make money, want to make money These channels are very important.

So it's not just a matter of closing the chairman's position.

It is common for many teams to change their presidents, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, their club presidents are elected through guò and have little to do with club ownership, while many Premier League clubs, such as Manchester United and Chelsea, the club presidents of these teams are club shares with absolute power in order to occupy the position of club president.

Derby County is not listed, the club does not have a board of directors, it is completely privately owned by Ji-Smith, relatively speaking, the acquisition is much simpler, but it is not a short time to complete, it is estimated that it is only agreed now, and the real closing will take two or three months.

Wan Sheng thought so.

He still regrets that Ji-Smith sold the club, after all, this chairman is a lot of people, and the general manager Wilcox also has a good relationship with him, but it is a pity that they will not be able to work together in the future.

After listening to Wilcox's explanation. Wan Sheng is not too worried about his position as head coach, because his leadership performance is very good, even if there is an injection of foreign capital, even if the club changes owners, but his leadership results are here, and whoever changes the chairman will not shake his coach position.

Now that he knows the reason why the club does not renew his contract, Wan Sheng is not worried, it is a big deal to wait for the new chairman to take office and then renegotiate the contract, he will still wait for two or three months, for him. And the key is to ensure the team's results.

The team's results are directly related to the club's income, and in this regard, it is the club's top management who are most concerned about the results.

If you can win the league title, the club will be able to get millions more pounds in terms of TV broadcast sharing next year, and other channels can also bring a lot of income to the club, and the club can only develop when the income is high, which is a virtuous circle.

As a manager. Leading the team is nothing more than an honor, because the head coach is paid by the club, and the salary is guaranteed regardless of the results. In other words, most coaches lead teams with the goal of accomplishing the goal, and there is no coach who doesn't like the championship, but actually. In this regard, the senior management of the club, who have a direct stake in the benefits, are more concerned about results than the manager.

But Wansheng is an exception.

He wants to get good results more than anyone else, and that's more than an honour for him. And his future ability - to complete the tasks given by the football training master system, to gain a lot of experience points and new skills, these things are the biggest motivation for him to strive for good results.

No matter what happens to the club, his goals will not change.

What's more, the championship is also an honor, and his desire for both lives is to become a successful football coach, what is success?

Honor is success, champion is success!

Now he is leading the team on the road to success, and no matter what happens, he will not back down!

On January 23, the 24th round of the Premier League began, and Derby County hosted Manchester City.

The two teams met in the last leg, Manchester City lost 0:1 at home to Derby County, that game Derby County showed a solid defense and sharp fast break football, this time the two teams met again at Pride Stadium, Manchester City coach Keegan also let the team defend solidly, after all, in the away game, Manchester City really has no advantage at all, and solid defense is still quite important.

As it turned out, Keegan's approach was effective.

Derby County attacked very fiercely, but it was still difficult to break through the Manchester City dead defence, but in the 74th minute, Derby still found a chance, Van der Vaart broke through the middle and was brought down, and Derby County got a free kick opportunity.

Ivan Crewe took the free-kick and curled the ball straight into the corner to score the only goal of the game.

In the end, Derby County won the game 1-0.

Three days later, Derby County hosted Liverpool in the second round of the Carabao Cup, a game that not much attention was paid to Derby County, who had beaten Liverpool 4-1 away and were unlikely to turn the tables on Liverpool.

The result was the same, Wan Sheng did not send all the main forces in the game at all, but relied on solid defense and quick counterattack to entangle with Liverpool, and the final result of the game was 0:2, Liverpool won the game cleanly with two goals, but lost the League Cup.

But to Wansheng's heartache, Van der Vaart was injured again during the game.

Last time, it was a small injury, and it recovered in a week, but this time seeing Van der Vaart being carried off the field on a stretcher, Wan Sheng regretted letting Van der Vaart play, he originally thought that letting Van der Vaart play could create a threat to Liverpool, who knew that such an accident would happen.

Van der Vaart's injury is something that is more concerning than the game itself.

After the game, Wan Sheng angrily scolded Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, who caused Van der Vaart's injury, "He's just a butcher!" He defends with dirty means! ”

For this, the Derby County club paid a £20,000 fine for Wan Sheng.

However, this is nothing compared to Van der Vaart's injury, and after the game, Wan Sheng rushed to the hospital to visit Van der Vaart, and learned that Van der Vaart would have to rest for at least a month and a half before returning to the field, which caused a lot of trouble for the Derby County game in February.

Without Van der Vaart, Morris hasn't recovered yet, and the team won't be able to cope with the February game.

That's when Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho stepped up. He ridiculed Wansheng as 'just relying on a few players to win the league championship', "that's unrealistic, the league championship is the effort of a team, the effort of a whole club, two or three players can't decide anything"

Derby County have now become Chelsea's biggest rivals, and after drawing with Blackburn Rovers in the last round of the league, the two teams were level on points again, and the whole of England knows that Mourinho and Wan Sheng are almost incompatible. Especially in the first half of the fixture, Derby County also won against Chelsea.

Wan Sheng immediately ridiculed this, "Not everyone is like him, you can spend 2,400 pounds to buy a Drogba, Rafael is worth a fifth of Drogba, but he has scored more than three times as many goals as Drogba." ”

'They had a gorgeous squad and the third line was full of big stars, but they lost to us, so it's about the title. He is not qualified to say anything! ”

Wan Sheng was talking about the first half of the fixture, Chelsea lost to Derby County in the game, and the two teams have not met a second time, but Chelsea's defeat to Derby County is real. The winner has the right to speak, and his words almost made Mourinho angry, but the Portuguese is good at words, and his big mouth immediately replied. 'Now he can say that, but his players are injured and I can already expect that. After February, we will have no competitors! ”

Mourinho is clearly referring to the big impact on Derby's results after Van der Vaart's injury.

The war of words between the two seems to be very lively, but this is just the tip of the iceberg of the bickering between the Premier League's top four managers, and now the top four in the Premier League are Chelsea, Derby County, Arsenal and Manchester United, the points of the four teams are far ahead in the Premier League, and then Everton, Liverpool, it is not easy to catch up with the fourth-ranked Manchester United, and the points of the four teams are also divided, relatively speaking, Arsenal and Manchester United appear to be declining, after the last round, as the third Arsenal in the league loses the game, their points are the same as Manchester United, With 10 points less than both Chelsea and Derby County, the gap has little chance of catching up.

However, the competition between Manchester United and Arsenal is also quite fierce, and the Premier League teams have four Champions League places, three of which can directly participate in the Champions League main game, and the other has to participate in the qualifying round, so Manchester United and Arsenal will have to compete for the top three in the league.

However, the rivalry between the two managers dates back to 1997, and it is not just because of results.

Arsene Wenger arrived at Highbury in 1997 and led the Gunners to a double in the following 97/98 season, Arsene Wenger's first full season at Arsenal.

From this time on, Arsenal became a real threat to Manchester United, and it was also from this time that the incessant verbal battle between Ferguson and Arsene Wenger began.

Over the weekend, Ferguson publicly said it was a shame that Arsene Wenger had not apologised for the misconduct of his players. His remarks once again intensified the conflict between the two men. Also last weekend, Arsenal lost 1-0 at Bolton Wanderers, opening up a 10-point gap between Chelsea at the top of the table and Derby County in second.

"I will no longer respond to Ferguson's provocative behaviour," Arsene Wenger, who is at risk of disciplinary sanctions, telling reporters, "In England you always have to pay for what you say after the game, but the same rule should apply to what was said before the game." ”

There is also a game that will play a crucial role in the battle between the two men, and that is Arsenal's home game against Manchester United on February 1, which Wenger believes is not far off and the team must prepare for this game seriously.

Both managers are well aware that they have little chance of competing for the league title, and their more realistic goal now is to finish third this season, which will ensure they can qualify directly for next season's Champions League.

More than points is that whoever wins that game will get a huge morale boost, and the confidence that comes with it will give them more leverage to finish third in the league this season.

This game will be particularly important for Arsene Wenger, as if Arsenal win this game, Wenger's fighting spirit will be boosted and he will be reinvigorated in the battle of words with Alex Ferguson, as the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United has now narrowed to just one point.

In the Premier League, Jose Mourinho and Wan Sheng are battling. Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson played a big battle, which was the winning form of the entire league.

But at present, Derby County is still very unfavorable, because as Mourinho said, some players are still too important to Derby, such as Van der Vaart, who has just been injured, without Van der Vaart, Derby's attacking ability in the front court will be greatly reduced, because Derby County does not have a player who can replace Van der Vaart.

This is the helplessness of Wansheng.

Derby County was created by him, but without the club's financial backing, the depth of the team's bench is an issue. There is a clear gap between the substitutes and the main team, which is the current situation, and the team still needs to rely on talented players such as Van der Vaart and Ribery in many games, and because of this, Van der Vaart's injury is a headache for him.

But in any case, the various competitions will continue.

Even if the situation is difficult, Wansheng has to ensure the team's results and continue to work hard to achieve his goals

February 1. Arsenal's 4-2 defeat at home to Manchester United was the focus of the rest of England, with Derby County's home game against Crystal Palace on the second day relatively unattended.

So far, Crystal Palace's results have been poor to a certain extent. Barring no surprises, Crystal Palace are almost certain to be relegated, and the good fortune of a team that relied on promotion play-offs to qualify for the Premier League last season has come to an end. Crystal Palace fought fiercely in this game, but even without Van der Vaart, Derby County is not something that Crystal Palace can shake. In the end, Derby County won by three goals at home, and with this victory, the team also somewhat dissipated the mental impact of Van der Vaart's injury, and at the same time gave Derby County fans more confidence.

Three days after the game against Crystal Palace, Derby County welcomed Norwich City again.

Norwich and Crystal Palace are considered 'difficult brothers', having been promoted together last season, and so far this season they are bottom of one league and second from bottom in one league.

Derby County are also promoted, but the situation is very different from the two teams, and the schedules of the three teams are also close to each other, which can be regarded as 'very fate', especially after Van der Vaart's injury, and meet two weak teams in a row, this schedule is really good.

Wan Sheng smiled and led the team to another victory - an away 0:4, and the game was without suspense from beginning to end.

Derby County are no longer the League One side they had to be cautious about when they met Norwich last season.

After two easy league games, Wan Sheng did not have time to be happy, because the team is about to usher in the FA Cup round of 32, for the FA Cup, Wan Sheng still has a certain amount of distress, if the team lineup is neat, he will definitely not give up this event, especially the team as the 'defending champion' of the FA Cup, if he can win the FA Cup again, whether it is for the team or for himself, it is a great honor.

But now there are various injury problems in the team, coupled with a period of time, it will definitely be revealed that the club has been acquired, which will definitely affect the mentality of the team.

Wansheng knows that the current team will definitely not be able to adapt to the four-line battle.

It's too tough.

Even those rich teams with deep heritage are difficult to adapt to multi-front operations, not to mention the lack of heritage and the lack of lineup, but Derby County, which has just been promoted to the Premier League.

For the sake of a more important title, giving up the FA Cup is already a necessary choice, especially since the FA Cup has just reached the round of 32, and there is nothing wrong with giving up now, after all, the team has only participated in one FA Cup.

If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, if you take care of everything, you probably won't get anything in the end.

Wan Sheng knew that he shouldn't be too greedy, and when he thought about this, he also took a long breath.

The team's fourth-line operation, to the whole team brought frequent games at the same time, to his own great work pressure, he has to prepare for the game every day, one after another non-stop games, but also to deal with the team and life of various things, he as the head coach of Derby County seems to be beautiful, but that kind of work pressure is not ordinary people can experience.

After finishing his work, Wan Sheng suddenly picked up his phone and looked at a number on the screen.

This is a call I received yesterday, a very unexpected beauty called, I wanted to go out on a date with him, although the beauty said it very tactfully, but Wan Sheng knew that this was what it meant.

He chased beautiful women in his previous life, but it was the first time in his life to be chased by beautiful women.

However, Wansheng was too busy with work and was going to refuse, but now his mood is suddenly much easier, and then think about the tempting big breasts or make an appointment to see it first, dating or not dating is a matter of the future, and it can be regarded as relaxing.
