Wan Sheng stood in the locker room, looking at the players around him.

They had just come back from a warm-up, and in order to regain some of their condition, the whole team went to warm up after entering the stadium, and did not return to the locker room until the fans were almost finished.

This is the last time.

The tactics have been arranged, everything that needs to be said has been said, but Wan Sheng still gave the final advice to the players, "It's the game in a while, this is Anfield, the last time we won here 2-1, but it was in the league, and now it's the League Cup. I don't want to see someone who doesn't pay attention to the game, careless, and underestimates the enemy! ”

"Yes, we won Liverpool twice, but that doesn't mean we can beat them lightly. If a year ago, when we played Liverpool, you wouldn't have thought we would have won easily, but now I'm sure a lot of you are thinking. ”

Listening to Wan Sheng's words, many players lowered their heads.

Wan Sheng is right, many of them think that the victory will be theirs, which is not surprising, they beat Liverpool twice in the league this season, and also won the game at Anfield, this is the third time the two teams have met, the first two wins have given them a lot of confidence, and it is natural to think that the game will be easy.

In particular, there were many media reports before the game that Van der Vaart and Ivan Crewe would not start, but they all knew that the two had fully recovered, and there were no problems in training yesterday, and they were quite good.

It's all a team's strength.

So in this game, many players feel that it is not difficult to win.

But at this time, Wan Sheng's face was very solemn, "Now I want to sue you, I have never taken my opponent seriously!" ”

Wan Sheng's words surprised many people, but he continued, "Yes, I didn't pay attention to it, Liverpool only. They are a lot worse than Chelsea and Manchester United, but there is a saying in China that 'despise the opponent strategically, pay attention to the opponent tactically', which means that we have to despise the opponent from the general trend, and when we actually do it, we have to pay great attention to the opponent. ”

'If we can do that, we're a strong team, if we play against the opposition. If you still look down on your opponents, then we are just fools who made careless mistakes! ”

"You know what I mean?"

Everyone listened, thought.

They carefully tasted the meaning of Wansheng's words, and really felt that it was very reasonable, on weekdays, the team would definitely win or something, but when it came to the game, there were too many games in which the strong team lost to the weak team, not to mention, they were compared to Liverpool. It's not a strong team at all.

Even if you have beaten Liverpool twice, you still need to be serious when it comes to the game, otherwise there is nothing strange about losing.

When they think about it this way, they feel that Chinese culture is really broad and profound. Such a short sentence actually covers such a big truth, and at the same time, they also take Wansheng's words to heart and attach importance to the upcoming game.

Wan Sheng didn't know what the players were thinking, but a final reminder would help. He doesn't want to see the team careless, let alone the goal of this game. It's not just about winning.

But he won't say to the players, 'We want to score as many goals as possible' or something like that, because that will put pressure on the whole team, and before the game starts, the coach asks for more goals, which is likely to affect the team's performance on the field, Wansheng will not do this, what he does is to formulate tactics, boost morale, plus some on-the-spot command, he hopes that the team can win Liverpool, but if he can't do it, even if he says that he wants to win now, it will not have the slightest effect. On the contrary, it is likely to be counterproductive, making the team's performance even worse

Before the game, the media reporters finally got the confirmed starting line-up for the game.

They were surprised to see the starting line-ups for both teams as they had imagined that the Derby County starting line-up was different, with Van der Vaart and Ivan Crewe both in the starting line-up.

At this time, they felt that they were really 'in the scheme', and they fell twice in the same place, they gritted their teeth at Wansheng, but they didn't think that their 'trick' was completely due to their own senseless speculation about Wansheng, if they believed Wansheng, what Wansheng said was not a little deceptive at all, it was completely true, but they didn't believe it, so it caused the current result.

But they didn't have time to think too much about it at this point, and when full-time started, they didn't care about the starting line-up for Derby County and focused all their attention on the game.

The start of the game was very exciting!

Liverpool took advantage of the kick-off advantage to launch a fierce attack into the Derby County half, but soon as the attack was intercepted, the attacking side was replaced by Derby County, who also threatened the Liverpool goal with a targeted attack.

In less than two minutes, the two teams exchanged attacks and defences, and Derby County's attack also threatened the Liverpool goal, which was a shocking opening for fans.

Fans are happy to see this kind of scene.

Whether it's Liverpool fans, Derby County fans, or neutral fans, they all want the game to be exciting, after all, no one wants to see a dull game, even if their team wins, with a dull game, it is difficult for fans to lift their spirits.

Now the game has just begun, and the two teams have an attack on each other, and they played so well that all fans are looking forward to the next game.

The players of both teams on the pitch are also working hard.

Liverpool instead of the usual defense-oriented table, instead pressed heavily at the beginning, obviously wanting to win the opening goal advantage.

The same can be said for Derby County, who have been playing all over the pitch and have been on the pitch again with a tight defensive style, and they are also attacking, launching a fierce attack towards Liverpool's half when they have the chance.

Both teams want to score first.

As long as you can score first, it is equivalent to taking the lead, this reason is very clear to both teams, the first goal is still quite important, but at this time the media who followed the game was very surprised, because Liverpool has always played very conservatively, rarely like this to attack aggressively, even at Anfield, but in the face of Derby County, who are good at attacking, choosing to take the initiative to attack, is not Liverpool's style.

Derby County's choice to take the initiative to attack also surprised many.

Ever since Morris was injured. The biggest change in Derby County is the tactics of the game, since Christmas, several games Derby County's choice is based on solid defense, even if the game is all won, but everyone's impression of Derby County is that this team has been difficult to play the first half of the wonderful attack, which is also one of the reasons why those media think that Derby County is suffering from an injury crisis, and the team's performance will be greatly affected, after all, even the tactical style of the game has been dragged down by injuries and has changed, and it is natural to affect the results.

But now Derby County have opted to attack at Anfield.

Although the opening time was not long, the two teams attacked each other in several waves. Everyone knows that at least in this first half, both teams were competing for the first goal, and both were attack-oriented.

Although many people were a little surprised, they were looking forward to the game a little more.

It's going to be a good game, that's for sure

It must be admitted that Liverpool's quality is still quite strong, even if they have been weak in recent times, and many games have to be solid first, but when they choose to take the initiative to attack. The threat is still very high.

The most prominent thing in Liverpool's table is the midfield, with Steven Gerrard as the core, the midfield is quite strong, even if Derby County presses all over the field. The players have a wider range of movement than Liverpool, but it is also difficult to gain much of an advantage in the midfield competition.

Wan Sheng is not surprised by this.

He knows very well that Liverpool is not a team to be underestimated, and if Liverpool does not have this ability, how can they have a chance to win the Champions League this season? At least in memory. This year's Champions League belongs to Liverpool, and it is possible to win this title except for some luck. Your own strength is also a must.

It is not easy to beat Liverpool, or even Liverpool by a big score, and it is for this reason that Wan Sheng will have such a table before the game, which is used to fan Benitez, in order to increase the team's chances of winning, so that the team has a chance to win by a big score.

It's not that after Wan Sheng did that, the game will become very good to play, and it just increases the hope, in terms of probability numbers, if you don't do that, if you want to beat Liverpool away, the probability will be 50%, and the big score to beat Liverpool is only 20%, and now the probability of beating Liverpool will be 70%, and the big score to beat Liverpool will reach 30%, although it is not sure that it is so accurate, but this is also Wan Sheng's estimate in his heart.

Regardless, it's always good to increase your chances of defeating your opponent.

When he saw that Liverpool did not defend passively, but attacked and prepared to have an offensive battle with the team, Wan Sheng was actually a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood.

He doesn't want to go through two big games in the Carabao Cup, and neither does Benitez, both teams have some problems at the moment, and they both want to win or lose, and if they want to achieve this goal, the first game must be a big scoreline.

Both teams take the initiative to attack, and it will naturally be easier to score goals, maybe the odds of winning against Liverpool have not increased, but the odds of winning Liverpool with a big score may have increased a lot.

Just when Wan Sheng was thinking this, the game suddenly changed.

Osman is defending very hard, he stands in front of the penalty area to stop Liverpool's attack, preventing the opponent from having the opportunity to pass the ball into the box, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of defense, constantly running around in the front of the penalty area, causing a lot of resistance to Liverpool's attack, but this time he faced Gerrard, or a little negligent.

He originally thought that Gerrard would pass the ball to his teammates, so he staggered the position, trying to find an opportunity to intercept the pass, but when he didn't expect it, Gerrard chose to shoot directly.

That's 30 meters from the goal!

He was running close to Gerrard, and when he saw Gerrard's right foot waving, he subconsciously thought it was a pass to the diagonal front, so he stretched out his foot to block it, but he didn't expect Gerrard to shoot at the goal, and when he found out, the football had already rushed out.

Osman twisted and nearly fell to the ground, only to watch as the ball sprinted past him, only to see the ball sprint past the penalty area, fly over the head of Karachi and bounce straight into the crossbar.

“Gooooal！！！” The Anfield commentator excitedly shouted, "Gerrard! Gerrard! He helped Liverpool take the lead! It was the 19th minute of the game, and Gerrard scored a long-range shot from 30 meters out to break through the Derby County goal! ”

When the commentator shouted this, he was also surprised by Liverpool's table.

The game was played at Anfield Stadium, but the opponent was Derby County, who had won two games against Liverpool, even if the media said before the game, he still felt that Derby County had a good chance of winning, but he didn't expect Liverpool to score first, and it was so fast.

It's been less than twenty minutes!

With a goal so quickly, maybe Liverpool will score more than one goal this time? It would be a perfect revenge if we could beat Derby County! (To be continued......)
