Chapter 44: Preaching
The first half was not over yet, Derby County was already 2:0 ahead, and by this time commentators such as George Woodgate thought that there was no suspense in the game, although it was only 2:0, but Derby County played too well on the field, and it was not easy for Middlesbrough to recover two goals away from home.
The first half was also coming to an end after Ivan Crewe's goal, and soon both teams returned to the dressing room to rest.
At halftime, Wan Sheng explained the tactics of the second half to the players, he did not ask the team to retreat to defend in order to win, because it is difficult for Middlesbrough to threaten Derby County, especially with a two-goal advantage in hand, Wan Sheng is not worried about any accidents, but if one goal leads, he will not hesitate to let the team start to play defensive counterattack, and two goals, even if there is an accident, Middlesbrough recovers a goal, the initiative is still in his hands, so he let the whole team continue to maintain the offensive in the second half, He's just going to attack to win this game.
The Derby County players were patient to listen to Wan Sheng's explanations of tactics.
Now they are all very relaxed because the team is two goals ahead, there is no pressure in the game, they just have to relax and go to the game, especially Van der Vaart, who was even a little disappointed at the end of the first half because he felt that he was in very good shape, the game was a pleasure for him and he is still excited.
But there's also something that doesn't feel good, and that's Frank Ribery.
He sat on the bench for a half, and when he saw the warm atmosphere of his teammates, he wanted to play immediately, Wan Sheng noticed Ribery, and after explaining the tactics to everyone, Wan Sheng called Ribery and asked, "Do you understand?" ”
Ribery was still at a loss, "Boss, are you talking about Raphael?" ”
Wan Sheng shook his head and asked, "What do you think of Raphael compared to you?" ”
"He's outstanding." Ribery said with some arrogance. Van der Vaart is very good, but he won't say that the other party is stronger than him, even if he admires Van der Vaart in his heart, he doesn't think that the other party is stronger than himself.
As a genius, he is arrogant.
But obviously Wan Sheng was not satisfied with Ribery's answer, he still shook his head, "You should sit down and watch it carefully, it should be regarded as a rest." ”
Ribery's face immediately darkened, but he didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction, he was still a little afraid of Wansheng.
But he also kept thinking about why the coach kept asking himself how Van der Vaart was. Could it be that the coach feels that he is inferior to Van der Vaart? Probably not, it doesn't make sense. But why? The coach let himself watch the game, mainly to watch Van der Vaart's table, but Van der Vaart's watch is nothing to see, and when he arrives on the court, he won't be much worse than him, right?
Ribery still didn't quite understand, but he knew he would have to stay on the bench anyway.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the second half began.
Wan Sheng didn't change his tactics, and McLaren didn't change his tactics either. For Middlesbrough, the hope of winning now lies in attack, and only need to tie the score to get points, so Middlesbrough stepped up their attack in the second half. McClaren was very glad to see that Derby County did not choose to shrink their defensive line, he studied a few good games in the Derby County table before the game, and saw that Derby County took the lead. Just shrink the defense, if the opponent does the same in this game, his team will not have a chance. But now the opponent still insists on playing against the attack, and the team still has a chance.
But if you want to tie the score, you still have to pray to God
In the second half of the game, the attention of those who pay attention to the game is still on Van der Vaart, Van der Vaart was quite good in the first half, he had a goal and an assist, in addition to Van der Vaart, the other outstanding players are Ivan Crewe, because Ivan Crewe helped Derby County score the second goal, Morris is also quite good, every attack is inseparable from him, but after all, Morris has nothing to do with the goal, more fans and media still watch the goal.
However, Ivan Crewe and Van der Vaart are not comparable at all in terms of attracting attention, Van der Vaart is only 21 years old, he is handsome in appearance, and his skills are quite good, it is a pleasure to watch him play, Ivan Crewe is different, Ivan Crewe is almost 26 years old, he is older and has a very ordinary appearance, and his skills are not attractive, he rarely goes to people or anything, and his appearance is so ordinary that he can't be more ordinary, even if he is an important member of Derby, but his football is difficult to attract people.
So the focus is still on Van der Vaart.
Van der Vaart didn't live up to expectations, still alive in the second half, providing assists and threatening the Middlesbrough defence, and finally took advantage of a corner kick in the 71st minute of the game to help Derby County score a third goal.
It was a sudden!
If other players, such as Burton-Reiter, Morris, and even Alfred and others scored with a header, it would not be strange, but this header was scored by Van der Vaart, which was the first header scored by Van der Vaart since the start of the league.
Van der Vaart was also excited, it was the second goal and at the same time it was meaningful, as if everyone else was surprised, it was a header and he rarely scored with a header.
Perhaps also because of his position, the guide does not have many opportunities to meet high balls in front of goal, although his header ability is not bad, but there are few opportunities to score such goals.
But this time he scored.
This goal also helped Derby County extend the score advantage again, 3:0, so far Middlesbrough can be said to have no chance, Middlesbrough coach McClaren obviously understands, so soon after the game restarted, he replaced two main players in succession, including striker veteran Hasselbaink, and replaced him to adapt to the league atmosphere.
Soon Wan Sheng made two substitutions, Van der Vaart and Alfred were substituted, and Peter Kennedy and Ferdinnan were given their chances.
The rest becomes garbage time.
In the final period, Middlesbrough still kept attacking, Derby County completely enjoyed the game, three goals apart enough to ensure they won the victory, but before the end of the game, Middlesbrough still scored a goal, barely saved face, and finally the game ended 3-1, Derby County won another victory
At the end of the match, instead of joining the celebratory crowd, Wan Sheng talked to Ribery, "You saw Raphael's watch, right?" How does it feel? ”
Ribery thought for a moment and said, "He's brilliant. ”
"Where's Lee? Baker? Ivan? What about the three of them? Speaking of Morris, Alfred and Ivan Crewe, Wan Sheng asked Ribery.
Ribery thought for a moment and said, "It's also outstanding." ”
Wan Sheng shook his head, "In the eyes of many people, they are definitely inferior to Rafael, but I can be sure that even if they lose this game, no one will say that their table is not good." ”
Ribery nodded understandingly.
He understands what Wan Sheng means, that is, no matter what the game wins or loses, like Morris, Alfred and others, they are all very good, it is good to win the game, and the responsibility for losing the game is definitely not theirs, but he still doesn't quite understand what Wan Sheng means to him.
"What about Raphael?" The Wansheng question is back, "Do you think if we lose the game, will anyone think it's Rafael's problem?" ”
Ribery thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head and said, "Probably not"
"Rafael is the most eye-catching player in this game, Frank, do you think you will play better than Rafael today?"
Ribery hurriedly shook his head, "It's hard. ”
"But why did everyone think that the reason why you didn't win the last game against Schalke 04 was because you didn't have a good appearance, and not anyone else? Rafael can be as good as you see, a lot of times he will carry the ball himself, a lot of times he will be cut off, but no one thinks that the reason for losing is him. I say this, do you understand? ”
Wan Sheng said seriously.
That's what he was going to say to Ribery.
On the playing field, there is nothing wrong with carrying the ball by yourself many times, just like players like Van der Vaart and Ribery, sometimes it is better to let them play freely, but it is also necessary to divide the situation, if you can be sure that you are more conducive to the offense with the ball and have more opportunities, it is naturally better to carry the ball yourself, if it is better to pass the ball to your teammates, then you should choose to pass, in short, when making a judgment, it is necessary to consider that it is more beneficial to the team, rather than 'making yourself more dazzling'.
Ribery's choice is clearly the latter.
In the last game against Schalke 04, Ribery's choice was to 'make himself shine brighter', although he is very strong, very confident, skilled, and dazzling, but when he always makes such a choice, it is the whole team that drags him down.
He wants Ribery to understand this, otherwise his technical prowess will become a drag on the team.
Wan Sheng looked at Ribery carefully after speaking.
Ribery did not disappoint in the end, he lowered his head and thought for a while before he raised his head and said firmly, "Boss, I know what to do." ”
Wan Sheng smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are what I brought from France, I hope you can do better, I hope you can become a big star, I hope you can succeed." I don't want to see you take a detour."
Wan Sheng turned his head and left after a 'preachy tone from the elders to the juniors', and if other people saw this scene, they would definitely feel weird, because Wan Sheng really didn't look older than Ribery.
But Ribery listened to Wan Sheng's words, but his eyes became more determined.
Wansheng's words are still very useful.
This may be the role of the 'reverence value' of the soccer training master system, but it also has to do with Wan Sheng's personal charisma, he can always motivate players to work hard with his words, and at the same time, his calm attitude makes people feel close. (To be continued......) R1292
