Diamares is not so resistant to Wansheng to train new tactics, in fact, he also knows that the team uses normal tactics, and the winning rate of the game against Manchester United is not high, because the overall strength of Derby County and Manchester United is too different, there is a gap in strength, and then the opponent is thoroughly studied, it is difficult to have any suspense in the game.

In addition, even if the final FA Cup game is not to be mentioned, the team still has to prepare for next season, and Derby County will be able to prepare for the new season by training the new tactics in advance before the end of the season.

What he can't say for sure is whether the team will be able to adapt to the new tactics in twenty days.

Twenty days may not sound like a short time, but it often takes a season or more to transform the team, and it is extremely time-consuming to adapt to a sudden and large change of tactics.

But Wan Sheng is the head coach, and there is no way to object to what decision he makes, and Diamares himself has no opinion, so he can only do it.

So on the same day, the Derby County players heard that the team was going to train on new tactics.

Quite a few players were taken aback.

New tactics

Think about how much time it took them to adapt to the new tactics before the season, it took about a month before the season, the tactics were not perfect at that time, and in the next three months, the team was slowly perfecting the tactics, and it was only around Christmas that their tactics were really formed, and the team's style of play tended to be stable. Will the team be able to adapt? Also, are the new tactics perfect?

They have a lot of questions about it.

But as soon as Diamares explained to everyone, there were a lot fewer questions, this new set of tactics is much simpler than the team's original tactics, most of them are just in defensive running, and there is nothing too complicated, but this set of defensive tactics is very suitable for the current Derby County. Because the team was originally pressed all over the court, using constant running to stabilize the defense, it basically sounded like the new defensive tactics just narrowed the running range to half the court, and there was a concept of zoning.

This makes adaptation much less of a problem.

That's what players think about tactics, and actually, most people don't think much about it, because they know it's what Wansheng means, in their hearts. There must be a reason for what Wansheng does, since Wansheng has adapted the team to the new tactics, then to adapt, after all, adapting to the new tactics is always a little novel, and it is much more interesting than boring training.

This is the benefit of the increased reverence value of players, no matter what decision Wansheng makes, there are very few doubts in the team, such as Reiter, Alfred, Morris and other players with reverence values above 100. There will be no doubts about Wansheng at all, in their hearts, as long as they listen to Wansheng.

Wansheng let them train, and it was useless to think about it. Training is it.

However, on the first day of training, it was just Diamares who instilled the concept of new tactics in the players, and carefully explained the tactics according to the training plan left by Wansheng. That's all, there was no actual training, and Wan Sheng did not show up at the training ground. In fact, Wan Sheng went straight home to sleep after asking Diamares to explain the tactics to everyone.

He hadn't slept all night, and he needed to refresh himself.

After waking up, Wan Sheng looked at the time at two o'clock in the afternoon, and he opened the football training master system for the first time, and put the opportunity of 'upgrading the coach's MAX skills' on the 'resolute interception'.

This is something he has thought about a long time ago.

The core of the new tactics is defense, and the purpose of doing new defensive tactics is to level the gap between the team and the strong team, and this gap is expressed in the player's personal ability, so the biggest restriction of the new tactics on the opponent is not the overall cooperation, but the limitation of the opponent's star - whenever the opponent has a player receiving a pass, he must face at least two people to defend and intercept, so as to ensure that the opposing player can not rely on personal ability to do anything to the greatest extent, after all, one person can defend and try to break through to find opportunities, two people, three people defending, it is very difficult to find opportunities on their own.

The core of this kind of defense is actually to press, and the purpose of pressing is to break the ball, so the ability to steal is very important.

'Fortitude interception' is for tackles, and 'when your team is in a solid formation, you can increase your tackle success rate by 10 percent', which is a very good skill in itself.

Another important reason why Wansheng chose to upgrade this skill is that 'Resolute Interception' is a basic skill, and using the opportunity to upgrade the basic skill of 'Upgrade Coach Max Skill' can directly make the skill cross the advanced and high-level, which is equivalent to eliminating 6 skill points, which is the most efficient choice.

Staring at the skills on the skill panel, Wan Sheng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth fiercely, and the system message interface was immediately refreshed, "Your defensive skill 'Resolute Interception' has been upgraded to the Coach MAX Perfect Skill." ”

Wan Sheng hurriedly checked out the introduction of the new skill.

"Resolute interceptions, defensive classes, coach max perfect skills.

When your team is in play, the steal success rate increases by 20 percent.

When your player is in play, all defensive stats are increased by 1.

When your player makes a steal, the 'Passing' stat is increased by 5. ”

Three attributes!

Looking at the display of these three attributes, Wansheng somewhat understood, the skill level is actually related not only to the actual effect, but also to the number of attributes, there is only one attribute below the high-level skills, and there are two high-level skills, such as 'strong barriers' and 'collaboration', and now there are two attributes, and after the 'Resolute Interception' is upgraded to the coach max perfect skill, it directly has three attributes, and the effect of these three attributes is very good.

'The steal success rate is increased by 20 percent', needless to say, the effect of 10 percent success rate is quite obvious, this success rate is increased by 1 point, the effect is quite obvious, let alone doubled, in addition, the skill introduction says 'when your team is in the game', not 'when your team is in a stable formation', which obviously expands the range, that is, it is applicable to the whole game.

'All defensive stats are increased by 1', although 1 point is not much, but it is better than nothing.

Wan Sheng's most important thing is the last one, which is obviously a new attribute generated by high-level skill upgrades - when your player completes a steal, the 'passing' attribute rating is increased by 5, which can almost be regarded as a 'combo'. Because it is necessary to pass the ball many times after completing a steal, and at this time, the attribute evaluation of the pass is increased by 5, which means that the player can pass the ball better, and as little as possible to complete the steal and pass the mistake, and then be snatched back, after all, the 5-point pass attribute evaluation is still quite high.

In the team, the average passing rating of the players is around '75', and the increase to '80' is almost equivalent to the improvement from the team's substitute to the team's main force, which is quite obvious.

Upgraded 'Fortitude Intercept'. It is equivalent to gaining new skills, and the effect is still very obvious, Wan Sheng is very satisfied, this day he thought about the tactics again, carefully perfected some details, and the next day, he was ready for the team to officially start training for the new tactics

On this day, Derby County began intense training.

Wansheng announced that the team would conduct closed training, and no fans and reporters would be allowed to enter the training ground to watch the interview, so that the reporters could not shoot anything. It's a mystery as to what kind of training Derby County will take.

As many can guess, Derby County are preparing for the FA Cup final.

As a result, there began to be talk that no matter how prepared Derby County was, it was useless. They certainly can't beat Manchester United, they're doing it for no time now, but despite this, there is a group of media reporters who want to go into the training ground to watch the interviews.

They say 'they don't care', 'Derby will definitely lose', 'Derby don't have a chance'. But they just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, because they don't know how Derby County is going to prepare for the game.

However, Derby County is not completely closed, and they will still appear in front of the public eye. That's the remaining three league rounds.

On 24 April, Derby County travelled to Burnley.

In this game, many media wanted to see what changes had changed in Derby, but they were all disappointed, Derby County still used the original tactics, and the table was very good, the final score was 0:3, and Derby County easily took away the away victory with three goals.

So some media began to say that Derby County was just putting on a preparative appearance, training, adjusting the state, and that's it, nothing out of the ordinary.

A three-goal win over Burns sounds good, but the gap between Burnley and Manchester United, one underground and one in the sky, cannot be compared together at all, and a big win is nothing remarkable.

On 2 May, Derby County host Bradford.

In this game, Wan Sheng allowed the team to implement new defensive tactics, played a defensive counter-attack, and the whole game was completely rehearsed tactics, and the result was a 0-0 draw with Bradford at home Derby County.

So the media had something to say.

As they said before, "Derby County have completely lost their fighting spirit after winning the league title, they are defending all the time, there is no attacking ** at all, it seems that their players are impatient with the constant game and can't wait to take the holidays." ”

May 9 is the final round of the 2003-2004 season in the English First Division, and not many people care about this round of Derby County, because many media think that Derby County is like that, it doesn't matter whether they win or not, and the simultaneous match between West Ham United and Crystal Palace is obviously more attractive, because that game can almost directly determine the last team to participate in the promotion play-offs (West Ham United is seventh in the league, Crystal Palace is sixth in the league).

In this game, Derby County beat Wimbledon 5-0.

No one was surprised to see this scoreline, Wimbledon was the first of the 24 teams in League One to be relegated. Due to the club's move to Milton Keynes Dons, they lost the vast majority of their fans, coupled with the club's financial problems, the club's financial problems led to the early bankruptcy, and their results this season were in shambles, and relegation was already confirmed five rounds in advance.

Against such a team with the worst quality and no fighting spirit, what is so strange about Derby County, who are top of the league with five goals?

Perhaps only Wimbledon's interim boss Bale felt a little different, because in this game, Derby County did not play very strongly, they did not attack around the Wimbledon half as they had in previous games, but they played every attack steadily, and four of the five goals were scored from long range, which made the game look very unusual.

But Ben-Bell didn't bother to think about why Derby County was the way it was, because it had nothing to do with him.

Wimbledon went bankrupt and relegated, many players in the squad are ready to leave, the team will have to change its name next season, and the new team 'Milton Keynes Dons' will definitely not have his place, so it is time for him to leave. (To be continued......)
