Chapter 52: Van der Vaart, Morris, and Bynes!

By the time Wan Sheng finished speaking, time was running out, and Wan Sheng left the remaining time for the players to think about something, and he believed that his words would definitely have an effect on the team.

The next thing is to wait for the game to begin.

He has already done everything he has to do, boost everyone's morale, arrange the tactics for the second half, and the specific game will depend on the players' tables on the field.

When the time was almost up, Wan Sheng stood up, he pushed open the door of the locker room, and shouted to everyone, "Go, guys! Let them know that Derby County is not to be messed with! Sue them for whose territory this is! ”

Everyone exhaled and rushed out.

The second half of the game is about to begin.

At half-time, many commentators talked about the game and thought that Derby County had little hope, Chelsea scored the first goal, in this case, Derby County could do very little, the pace of the game would be firmly in Chelsea's hands, whether it was people who knew football or just watched the game, they felt that Chelsea's hope of victory was very big, and Derby's chances were very small.

Quite a few people have talked about this as well.

But when the second half was about to start, and they saw the Derby County players coming on in high spirits, they suddenly felt that this one-sided idea was a bit too much.

Chelsea are strong, but Derby County is not weak either!

This Derby County is the second in the league, ≮▼ and the second in the league as a promoted horse, the key is that this Derby County is also very good at scoring goals, if they let them play the offensive rhythm, Chelsea may not be able to keep the goal, so those who hope that Derby County will win the media have renewed hope, "Derby County players are very good spirits, it seems that Derby County still has a lot of hope"

"But also, it's only 1:0, this is not the end of the world!"

However, in the eyes of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, this is the end of Derby County. He knows Derby's attacking ability, but Derby County didn't play that subtle attack at all in this game, but did a good job defensively, but now that Chelsea has a goal, the opponent will definitely attack in the second half, so Chelsea is almost invincible with a solid defensive counterattack.

That's what he thinks.

He also believes that the game will play according to his script.

Soon the game between the two teams began, and just as Mourinho thought, they asked for a substitution in the opening derby, but the substitution was unexpected. Derby County replaced Burton Reiter with veteran Ian Taylor.

Ian Taylor?

Mourinho had heard that Taylor was well known at Aston Villa a few years ago, but after leaving Aston Villa, he became obscure and is now almost on the verge of retirement, with extremely limited appearances this season.

Mourinho couldn't understand why the opponent would replace the young Burton Reiter with such a veteran?

There is no doubt about the quality and form of Burton Reiter, he is very young and has a few goals in the Premier League. He is at the front, and he is still a great threat to Chelsea's defense, as for Ian Taylor, he is old after all! Even if it was a tactical replacement for Bolton Reiter, it should be replaced by Kluivert. Kluivert is a former big star, and he is only 28 years old this year, and if he breaks out, there is really a possibility that he will create some miracle. Help Derby County score a goal.

Naturally, Wansheng will not sue Mourinho for the reason.

Replacing Bolton Reiter with Ian Taylor was, as Mourinho thought, a tactical substitution. Reiter's strength is very good, but he is a high school striker, his personal ability is more focused on the body, and his shooting ability is also average, and in the second half, Derby County is to rely more on long-range means to score, although Ian Taylor is old, but his ability is very comprehensive, and his long-range shooting ability is also very good, coupled with rich experience, he will play more roles than Burton Reiter on the field.

As for replacing the high school striker, it will reduce the means of breaking into the penalty area In fact, Wan Sheng didn't think about how to break Chelsea's penalty area defense at all, and even if Bolton Reiter was on the field, it was very difficult to break Chelsea's defense by relying on cooperation, even if it was broken, it was not the same as scoring goals, so it was better to rely on long-range shots directly, so that there were more opportunities, and the team's goals might not be small.

When Derby County completed the substitution adjustment, many media outlets were also surprised.

This substitution is a bit confusing.

Some media even think that Wan Sheng gave up the game, let Ian Taylor, who rarely plays, adapt to the game, and also let Bolton Reiter, who often starts, take a proper rest, of course, even they themselves do not believe this statement, in the Derby County lineup, if you want to say that the rest should be Van der Vaart, Morris or Alfred and other players, these players are the most appearances.

At the start of the second half, both teams remained focused on defence.

Derby County doesn't seem to have the intention of attacking aggressively, just strengthening the attack appropriately while stabilizing the defense, but many times, the attack is not far ahead, more choose to be outside the penalty area, directly come to a long shot, so that the goal is directly over.

This kind of scene disappointed the media who supported Derby.

"Maybe Derby County have really given up on the game," said some of the commentators.

The camera camera also pointed to the Derby County coach's box, and Wan Shengyan was seen watching the game, which did not look like he had given up on the game at all, but was very serious, just like how tense the situation was on the field.

But the game on the field was really uneventful.

Derby County's attacking firepower is not strong, Chelsea's attacking firepower is not very strong, Mourinho's tactics at halftime is to increase defense, Chelsea players know what to do, they put most of their energy on defense, and as a result, the firepower invested in attack is not strong, and the front court relies more on the cooperation of several players, or the individual play of outstanding players such as Robben.

In this way, the game between the two teams is actually not much different from the first half.

But there is still a difference, for example, Derby County have more shots on goal, but this difference is overlooked by many, even Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, because in the space of ten minutes, three of Derby's four shots on goal were from distance, and none of those three were a threat to the Chelsea goal.

It was just a shot that was forced to go on goal.

Anyone who sees this far away. Shots like flying-flying machines can feel like they are forced to choose, and that includes two from Van der Vaart and one from Ian Taylor, both of whom played well, but they didn't score into the Chelsea half, couldn't pass the ball in front of the penalty area, and had to choose to have a shot on goal.

"There is no threat at all with such an attack"

A commentator said disappointedly

Chelsea's tactics are also half-time defence.

They didn't press hard in the Derby County half, but when the ball got to the halfway point, Chelsea's defence became much tighter and it wasn't easy to get the ball across the halfway line. But it's not a difficult thing for Derby.

The tactics used by Derby County are still 'os-fast', and the basic requirement of this set of tactics is to attack quickly, which is not only attacking, but also in the details, such as the speed of passing, whether it is the front court and the backfield, most of them are one-foot passes, and in the first half when the team's tactics are on the defensive. This kind of speed is not reflected yet, but now that the team has added some offense, 'fast' is obvious.

The ball was passed through a few feet, almost before the Chelsea front-court players could react. It's already at the feet of Morris.

After a couple of passes, Morris was out of space and there was no one around him, so he easily dribbled across the halfway line.

Derby County relied on that 'quickness' to break into the Chelsea half.

For this case. There wasn't much Chelsea could do, and while they defended tightly, they only had two or three players in the Derby half. Constant running can't make effective limits, not to mention that in the front and back of Derby, every player passes the ball quickly and accurately, even if they are very individual and have a good individual ability, there is nothing too good to do.

Seeing this kind of attack, Mourinho must admit in his heart that this Derby County team has done a pretty good job of coordination, at least Chelsea are likely to make mistakes if they want to play such a wonderful passing combination, and so far, Derby County have not made a big mistake at the back.

Morris's personal ability is still very strong.

In the whole team, his ability evaluation is second only to Van der Vaart and Ribery, and he can get close to 90 if he improves again, and his ability is also very comprehensive, whether it is breaking or passing, he can do a good job, so in the team, he has the greatest freedom, and he can choose to dribble or break through at will.

Wansheng believes that Morris can do a good job, because his mental attributes are also the highest in the team.

After Morris jumped over the halfway line with the ball, a Chelsea player followed, it was midfielder Frank Lampard, facing Lampard, Morris took two steps, found that there was no chance, but still chose to pass.

He passed the ball laterally to Van der Vaart, who ran out of space.

When the football arrived at the feet of Van der Vaart, Chelsea immediately became nervous, and the whole of England knew that Van der Vaart is the core player of Derby County at present, and his strength is quite strong, and the number of goals is second only to Arsenal's Thierry Henry, such a player must be dealt with seriously.

As soon as Van der Vaart got his hands on the ball, two players immediately followed.

Seeing this scene, Wan Sheng suddenly became a lot stricter, he knew that this was likely to be an opportunity for Derby County, at halftime, in the tactics he arranged, Van der Vaart was an important bargaining chip to attract defense, Van der Vaart was indeed strong, but he was not a player who completed the final blow in the tactics, he was more of a role in attracting defense and creating opportunities for other teammates.

Just like now, Chelsea really take Van der Vaart seriously.

With two players running past, there was a gap elsewhere and Chelsea didn't care about Leyton Bynes and Morris at the back of the Derby County, just keeping a cautious eye on Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart did a good job as well, glancing in the direction of the Chelsea goal when he got his hands on the ball and dribbling straight forward.

It was a move that made Chelsea nervous even more.

Makelle and Ferreira flanked from both sides to block, Van der Vaart glanced at the position of the two, and suddenly remembered what Wan Sheng said in his mind, he glanced at Ferreira, and rushed directly towards Ferreira.

Seeing Van der Vaart rushing over like this, Ferreira's mind was a little foggy.

In his mind, he and Makelele blocked enough to defend any star in the world, and any player could only choose to pass the ball in the face of the defense of the two, but the other party didn't, so he rushed towards him with the ball. For a while, he was a little angry that he was underestimated, and he was about to go over and grab Van der Vaart's ball directly.

But at this time, Van der Vaart suddenly stepped forward, pressed Ferreira with his shoulder, and then half-turned to protect the ball, squeezed his body to the side, directly squeezed out a little gap, and then his heel was a little in front of the ball, and the football passed directly through Ferreira's right side, and Ferreira didn't know where the football was at all. He was staring from side to side as Van der Vaart rushed past him.

"Stop him!"

Makelle reminded Ferreira with a yell.

But it was already a little late at this time, Van der Vaart had already rushed over from the side, and he was about to get rid of Ferreira, and at the same time, he was sure of the coach's judgment in his heart Sure enough, this guy named Paulo Ferreira didn't have much strength at all, and he was deceived by himself so easily.

Wan Sheng watched from the coach's bench and laughed too.

In fact. Paulo Ferreira's defense is actually not bad, but Van der Vaart's skill is there, and the kind of subtle dribble that even a player like Makelele can't necessarily react to. But if it was changed to Makelele, Van der Vaart would not have been so easy, maybe the situation has changed now, you know. This is the Premier League, and the Premier League cannot be mixed up by technology alone, if you replace Makelele. It is estimated that Van der Vaart has now fallen to the ground, and it is really hard to say whether the referee blew the whistle for a foul, after all, direct body collisions are commonplace, and Ferreira has not yet adapted to the Premier League at a glance, and when he was jumped, his body did not move at all, it should be said that he was really a little naïve, and he didn't expect to hit Van der Vaart directly, but was squeezed away by Van der Vaart.

However, Wansheng likes that the opponent has such a player, otherwise, it is all Makelele type of guys, and the difficulty coefficient of the team to score will definitely rise sharply.

Van der Vaart will certainly like it as he has shaken off Ferreira by this point, but Lampard has withdrawn to defend and will have to face both Makelele and Frank Lampard.

That's when Van der Vaart passed!

"Van der Vaart shook off Ferreira! It's amazing that he was able to shake off one of them in the face of the defense of Ferreira and Makelele! Chelsea's defence was like paperwork in front of him! ”

Pride Stadium commentator Alfi said excitedly, "He's moving forward!" Forward! Oh, he passed! Pass the ball! It's Maurice! ”

Alfi exclaimed excitedly.

With his exclamation, the ball was already at the feet of Morris, who was plugged in backwards.

Seeing this pass, Wan Sheng stood up from his seat with a 'poof', and at the same time, the call for Pride Stadium also increased a little, and almost everyone in the audience turned their attention to Morris.

At the moment, Morris is unguarded!

This is the real killer move of the Derby County attack!

Derby County frontcourt Ian Taylor, Van der Vaart, Ivan Crewe, Frank Ribery, plus Morris, five players who are often involved in the attack, the lowest position is Morris, because in the current 442 formation, Morris has Van der Vaart in front of him, especially after Bolton Reitt is off the field, Van der Vaart can do all the things Morris can do in the front court, so Morris's position has been pulled back a lot, plus in weekday games, Morris is generally very bland, and there are few times when he is very outstanding, so many Chelsea players subconsciously ignore Morris in defense.

But now Morris has the ball in front of the penalty area!

Van der Vaart attracted enough attention from the defence that the only one who could run past to restrain Morris was Ricardo Carvalho, who was standing in the box, five metres away from Morris, and couldn't stop Morris from breaking into the box directly.

At this very moment, Morris had the option of getting into the box himself or shooting straight at goal, and he had many options at his disposal, each of which could pose a direct threat to the Chelsea goal.

So Chelsea were nervous all over.

Finally, in the attention of everyone in the field, Morris received a pass, and he waved his right foot to meet the ball, Carvalho in the penalty area subconsciously jumped up directly, trying to block something with his body, but the next moment, he knew that he had been deceived, because Morris did not shoot at all, but pushed the ball to the right.

It was only in the direction of the football that everyone saw that another Derby County player had stepped in, and he was in a better position than Morris, receiving the ball right in front of the penalty area, and it was also unguarded!

"It's Bynes!!"

The on-site narrator Alfi shouted out the name

Wan Sheng's fists were clenched tightly, he didn't expect Morris to pass the ball again, but when he saw Baines's figure, he was even more excited, because he was very confident in Baines's long-range shooting, Baines is the best player in the team's long-range shooting ability, plus the bonus of 'long-range shooting ability' and 'shooting skills', and no one is defending in that position, which is almost the same as shooting penalties for other players.

Seeing Baines shoot, Wan Sheng's excitement was about to erupt from his chest.

The shouts of the audience were louder.

Sure enough, Layton-Bynes swung his right foot confidently, and the ball flew out like a cannonball under his feet.

Chelsea goalkeeper Joud Cudicini had just been deceived by Morris's action and was unprepared for the shot and could only watch as the side of the ball flew into the back of the net.
