In fact, the Derby players are also full of surprise, like the idea of assistant coach Diamares, like the surprise of Ivan Crewe who scored the goal, etc., they just feel that the team is a little too easy ahead of Arsenal, in their imagination, even if the team is likely to win against Arsenal, it must be a difficult game, rather than attacking and kicking out the gap directly to complete the shot.

Before the game, Wan Sheng repeatedly emphasized that the team played normally and had every chance to defeat Arsenal, and the whole team heard it, but there were really few people who believed it completely in their hearts, except for a limited number of players who had a very high reverence for Wan Sheng, the other players were with doubts and distrust, after all, it was Arsenal!

Last season's league title!

Setting a record of 49 league games unbeaten, the only team in the Premier League that can compete with Manchester United in ten years!

Arsenal's strength has not diminished this season, so in the eyes of the Derby players, the team is still far from a giant like Arsenal.

But now, they did.

It's like the opponent is not Arsenal, it's just an ordinary small team, but in fact, the opponent is indeed Arsenal, they also play in Highbury, and now they can take the lead, they have to find the reason from themselves, maybe ...... The reason is like the coach said, we can win Arsenal if we play normally?

A lot of players have this idea.

After celebrating the goal, many players looked at the coach's bench on the sidelines, where Wan Sheng was looking at the field with a smile on his face, his expression was relaxed and relaxed.

So the confidence of the Derby County players is even more abundant!

After the restart of the game.

They continued to fight on the pitch, full of fighting spirit and going to fight hard against Arsenal, and they showed that they were in better form than before...... Arsene Wenger never expected to face such a Derby side.

The point is that he doesn't know how to deal with it at this time.

He has a lot of coaching experience, and naturally it is not completely unexpected, he has a certain analysis of Derby County's tactics, in the face of such a whole set of offensive football tactics, there are actually two ways to fight, the first is that the team has to play in a state, and the attack is fiercer than the opponent.

Minimize mistakes, and naturally suppress back.

In summary, as long as the team is good enough, they can beat Derby County, because Arsenal's tactics are also attack-oriented; The second approach is to adopt a strategy that focuses on passive defense.

Relying on defense, solid defense, and looking for opportunities to counterattack will naturally be able to deal with the Derby attack.

But does he have a choice?

It's almost impossible to adjust the tactics on the fly now, and even if he has been in charge of Arsenal for eight years, he can't make the team so direct, and even if he has to make adjustments, it will be after the break.

At Highbury, will Arsenal be able to defend against a promoted side?

The answer can only be 'no'.

So Arsene Wenger knows he doesn't really have a choice.

He can only hope for the team to play form.

Counter-suppression of Derby County, instead of the current error-prone situation, the situation on the field was dominated by the opponent...... Wan Sheng will not underestimate Arsenal.

He knows very well that it is a scary thing to get Arsenal to play and when they are in form, they can beat any team.

Especially this Arsenal team, the strongest team in recent years, you can't expect them to be out of form forever.

So the team wants to win.

You have to do your best to score again.

After the resumption of the game, the tactics of Derby County remained the same, and the players were full of fighting spirit to put into the tactics, and the tactics were naturally to suppress Arsenal, to attack, to fight for scoring opportunities.

Arsenal were very passive for a while.

At this time, the most surprised are those media reporters who came to cover the game, the attention of this game is very small, most of the media reporters who came are supporters of the two teams, for them, the game is absolutely unexpected, the media supporting Derby County is crazy cheers, they are like fans, and then shouting cheers for Derby, they hope that Derby County can create a zào miracle to beat Arsenal; Arsenal's support media reporters were a little confused by the current situation, they didn't expect the game to turn out like this, Arsenal faced Derby County in Highbury, and Arsenal was very passive and scored a goal first?

How could this happen?

It was the very few neutral media who reacted quickly, and as soon as they saw the Derby County goal, they immediately notified the headquarters in various ways and informed the rest of their colleagues in their own company to ask them to pay more attention to the game.

"Derby are ahead of Arsenal!"

"Stop paying attention to that boring game between Chelsea and Manchester United, watch this one!"

"Derby have suppressed Arsenal! Can you believe it? ”

"God, I can't believe what I'm seeing! Keep an eye out for this match, maybe it's going to be the biggest post-fight coverage! ”

“……”

While the news is spreading fast, Arsenal's match against Derby County continues.

Wan Sheng didn't know what was happening in the media box, he was staring at the game with all his heart, expecting the team to score a second goal quickly, as long as the team can score the second goal, the initiative is completely in the hands of the team, even if this is Highbury Stadium, he is confident that he will take the victory.

In the first round of the league, victory is still very important, especially against an opponent like Arsenal, which will greatly increase the confidence of the whole team, and Wan Sheng still hopes that the team can win.

But at this time there is a bit of a crisis in front of the Derby County goal.

In the just finished attack, Thierry Henry received a pass from Patrick Vieira on the left side of the penalty area and almost scored with a powerful shot, and the moment he shot, Highbury Stadium even remembered the crazy cheers, but the ball flew off the post and out of bounds.

Seeing this ball, many Derby County supporters were scared into a cold sweat.

Wan Sheng is also quite scared, he knows very well that Arsenal players are still quite superior in terms of individual ability, whether it is Henry or Vieira.

Both are true 'purple' superstar players, and if such players play, no team's backline can say they can defend against them.

Arsenal has more than two 'purple' superstar players, such as Campbell, Pire, etc., and their strength is also very close to superstars, not to mention the 'Ice Prince' Bergkamp, an experienced and very good 'superstar' veteran, if Arsenal is allowed to play smoothly, Derby's defense is completely unguaranteed.

"You have to do your best to score again!"

Wan Sheng stared at the court with clenched fists...... Baker Alfred didn't rush to clear the ball after intercepting Arsenal's pass in front of the box line.

Instead, he pushed the ball diagonally to captain Marcus at the left back.

It's a small change in Derbyshire's style of play after technical incorporation into tactics.

There is another reason for this change.

That is Wansheng's upgraded MAX coaching skill 'Resolute Interception', which has the effect of 'When your player completes a steal, the 'passing' attribute evaluation is increased by 5', and the passing attribute evaluation of 5 points can be said to be quite high.

This ensures that the player can accurately hand the ball to his teammates after completing the tackle, rather than a big kick in a panic, and the ball can easily be handed back to the opponent, so that the steal will be meaningless.

After Marcus received the ball, Derby County went on the attack.

The ball was passed from the back to the front and soon to the front, which was a change in Derby's style of play, which was to slowly move forward with ground balls.

Try to make sure that the football is under your own control, rather than using a 'luck' high-altitude ball, after a month of training.

At least the whole team can do a good job in this regard, of course, in the process of passing, we still have to try to pay attention to the opponent's counter-robbery, otherwise the football is easy to be robbed by the opponent, and it is better not to change.

When an opposing player grabs the ball.

Derby County will try to cross and move forward, or continue forward.

Fast-break football will not be passed backwards unless necessary, so the passing speed may not be too fast, but to ensure that the football is always forward, it will naturally not be slow.

Such a fast offensive rhythm makes it difficult for many Arsenal frontcourt players to have the opportunity to return to the backfield to defend, and the football reaches the front of the Arsenal penalty area after a few passes.

At this time, many Arsenal players were just returning to their own half.

Derby football made them very uncomfortable, they felt like every wave of Derby attacks was a quick counter-attack, but they couldn't all pile up in front of the penalty area to defend, so they had to try to keep the Derby players and not let them find good opportunities up front.

But it won't be easy.

Derby's advance is overall, when the football reaches the edge of the penalty area, several forward and midfielders also run over, Arsenal need to pay attention to a few people to limit the defense, they are difficult to fully take care of, just like Ivan Crewe was not defended before, this time he was defended, but there is one person, Arsenal players still did not notice, that is, the inserted full-back Leiden Baines.

It was really hard to get noticed with Layton Bynes, it was a rare time in the game so far that he had followed so far and when he did, but when he did, his teammates noticed.

Derby's formation is a whole, not a random run, Baines stepped forward, Ribery had to retreat a little, in order to ensure that the team's formation as a whole would not have problems, the positions of the two were near the halfway line before, Baines followed, and Ribery ran a little slower.

Ljungberg, Arsenal's left-sided midfielder, may be wondering why Ribery didn't come up.

The two have been opponents since the beginning of the game, and this time he glanced at it and saw that the other party did not come up, so he could only go to defend Morris next to him with his teammates, but Morris did not cut too far forward, and he did not have the ball at his feet.

That's when Ljungberg didn't feel right.

There weren't times when Derby County attacked like this before, they usually pressed as a whole, so he always had something to do.

But ...... this time?

As soon as Ljungberg turned his head, he just saw Van der Vaart, who had the ball, and passed the ball diagonally to the other side, he looked in the direction and saw the left full-back of Derby County, I don't know when he appeared in that position, he didn't have time to be surprised, he hurriedly yelled, "Stop him!" ”

But this shout came a little late, and Layton Bynes had already met the ball and shot straight at goal!

"Layton Bynes! Derby County's left wing-back! ”

Sky TV announcer George Woodgate didn't realize anything when he rushed over to meet the ball, and he calmly introduced Bynes to the fans in front of the TV.

But he was immediately surprised.

Because he saw the screen, Layton Bynes rushed to meet the ball and waved his right leg high, just a second ago he thought Bynes would choose to pass the ball, but ...... Shot?

For a moment, George Woodgate glanced at Baines's position, which was on the outside of the penalty area, at a 60-degree angle to the goal, and the distance was about 25 meters.

There is a chance, but ...... George Woodgate didn't have time to think about it as the ball had already rushed out of Baines' feet and headed straight for the Arsenal goal.

All he could do was shout, "Shoot!! ”

George Woodgate didn't expect Baines to shoot straight at goal, and Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann didn't expect either, he was watching the football from afar, with his own defenders blocking the view in the middle, only to see a white dot flying towards him when the ball rushed across the penalty line.

The reaction was half a beat slower, and Lehmann couldn't make a coherent save at all, he could only gamble on luck and pounce on the left, but for a powerful long-range shot, even if it was half a second slower, it was impossible to save the ball, especially Baines's kick ball was still very angled.

So it's not surprising that Lehmann can't save the ball.

"Layton Bynes! Layton Bynes! The young left wing-back scored the second goal for Derby! ”

George Woodgate finally came to his senses and exclaimed in disbelief.

“al！！！”

"The ball is in!"

"Derby County lead Arsenal 2-0 at Highbury Stadium!"

"This is Highbury Stadium in London, it's the defending champions Arsenal in the first round of the Premier League against Derby County, and it's the 41st minute of the first half, and Derby County are already two goals ahead!"

"It was Derby's right midfielder Ivan Crewe who scored the last goal, and it was their left wing-back Leiton Bynes who scored the goal, in the Derby County and Arsenal match, no one would have thought that Derby County was so good, they even suppressed the situation, and it was not their strikers who contributed to Derby, nor their few star players, but Ivan Crewe, it was Leiton Bynes, these two unknown players, but scored a goal at Highbury Stadium......"

George Woodgate's voice was full of incredibleness.

At this time, after the goal, Layton Baines has been celebrating wildly with his teammates, he is excited to hug each other with everyone who rushes over, and every teammate is also very enthusiastic, they can't imagine that the team can lead Arsenal by two goals, and now at this moment, it doesn't matter who scores the goal, the team's sense of honor is the most important.

Wan Sheng was also very excited when he stood on the sidelines.

He clenched his fists and shouted at Diamares, "It's done!" And they did! Ha ha! See? Gail, we made it! ”

The second goal is here!

With a two-goal lead, victory is not far away!
