Intermission.

The atmosphere in the Derby County dressing room was relaxed, everyone was talking about the game, talking about the goal of Leyton Bynes, and at this point Leyton Bynes became the protagonist of the dressing room, because he helped the team to take the lead, and everyone made fun of him, or some words of envy and jealousy, after all, Bynes scored a goal for Manchester United, which is a few league goals that cannot be compared.

Layton Bynes is also pleased.

The atmosphere in the dressing room has been very good, the team-mates have not been too fierce with each other, everyone has been talking and laughing, although there are very few real friends, Baines still likes the atmosphere of the team, which is much better than the situation where no one paid attention to him at Wigan Athletic, and now, he helps the team to lead Manchester United, and he still feels very excited to think about that goal.

The players who had just returned to the dressing room were also talking about the game.

"Do you think we can really win Manchester United?"

"Of course! We're Derbyshire."

"Hahaha yes, we're Derbyshire! No, I think it's fair to say that our head coach is the boss! ”

"Yes, if the boss says that if he can win, he will definitely win!"

"Whatever he is, Manchester United, it's not that we are ahead! Leiden! Well done! ”

"Yes, well done!"

Everyone was talking and laughing, and they were also resting in their own places, and soon Wan Sheng walked back to the dressing room, and when he walked in the door, everyone felt that their voices were much quieter. Although they are the boss of the mouthful, in fact, many people in the team are still a little afraid of Wansheng. Especially when Wan Sheng had a cold face, almost no one dared to look at him.

Wan Sheng is also satisfied with his majesty in the team, which is needed as a manager.

He didn't speak first, he was looking at the crowd.

The assistant coach Diamares and Jim who followed him didn't care, they didn't have any worries or fears about Wansheng like ordinary players, because they were Wansheng's colleagues. It's the people you work with, not the players.

The two are also happy thinking about the current game.

Diamares was not very optimistic about Wansheng's tactics. The point was that he didn't believe the team would have 20 days to adapt to the tactics, but the reality was that they played well on the pitch and scored a goal for Manchester United. Although the result was unexpected, it was a good result, he has been with Derby County FC for a few years and has a lot of affection for the club and he is happy to see the result, both personally and professionally.

Jim, of course, is no different.

Speaking of which, after Wan Sheng became the head coach, he had a lot less to do. He was worried about a lower salary, but the club had only three assistant coaches in the first team and no other professional coaches. So his salary hasn't dropped at all, but because the team has done very well, his salary has risen a lot, and now he is happy to see the team ahead of Manchester United.

The two walked behind Wan Sheng and kept talking about the game. With a smile on his face all the time.

In short, everyone in the dressing room, they were happy with the game. But after everyone returned to the locker room, Wan Sheng stood up, but there was no joy on his face, but he poured cold water, "Don't be happy too early, what we need now is calm!" ”

Wan Sheng said.

Everyone's attention was also focused.

'You have to remember that now our opponents are Manchester United, Manchester United? Any idea what the name means? They are the hegemons of the Premier League for ten years, they have won countless honors, even this season, they are also second in the Premier League, and we, the first in the English League, are nothing in front of them." ”

Everyone nodded, they knew that Wan Sheng was reminding everyone not to be careless.

In the game with Manchester United, there is a gap in strength, and if there is carelessness, it is simply equivalent to giving up the victory archer to the other side.

However, after Wan Sheng said this, a smile also appeared on his face, "But I still have to say that everyone's appearance is very good!" You guys played fantastic in the first half! We had a goal ahead that many people couldn't have imagined before the game! ”

Hearing Wan Sheng's words, everyone also laughed.

Wan Sheng continued to encourage, "We are one goal ahead, we have to continue to work hard in the second half, I believe that as long as we keep going, we will definitely win!" Back in the town of Great Derby with the FA Cup trophy in hand, I think all the fans will be crazy about you. ”

Compared to the lively atmosphere in the Derby County dressing room, the atmosphere in the United dressing room was not very good, Ferguson stood in the midfield with a gloomy face, and the players around him all bowed their heads, and no one dared to raise their heads to look at the Scotsman.

The Manchester United players also knew they had a bad first half, and the most direct evidence of that was that they were now one goal behind.

In such an important game, trailing a League One team by a goal at half-time?

They themselves are ashamed of the current scoreline, so they are all worried that Ferguson will be angry, no, it should be said, they are ready to meet the coach's saliva.

But Ferguson stood with a gloomy face, but instead of being angry as the player thought, he said directly and calmly, "Forget about the first half of the game!" ”

Someone raised their heads in confusion and found that Ferguson still had that expression on his face, so they hurriedly lowered their heads again, although they didn't know why the coach didn't get angry, but this was better than being scolded.

Ferguson was actually helpless, because he knew that in the first half of the game, he couldn't blame the players for their performance.

It's a tactical issue, a duel between him and the young Chinese.

He didn't think he would lose to the young man in this regard, which was what annoyed him the most, even though he was in his sixties. But he never admits that he is old, especially when it comes to coaching the team, and he doesn't think that he can be old like 'old Robson'. He's got a lot of energy and he feels like he can lead United to a couple more trophies.

But in the tactical duel in the first half, he lost, and he lost completely.

The opponent used a new set of tactics against Manchester United's defense, and it worked very well, the key was to use a long-range shot to break the Manchester United goal, so the team fell behind. The reason why it was difficult for the team to score in the first half was also because of the solidity of the opponent's defense. The team did not adopt a targeted strategy.

But the game is 90 minutes and winning 45 minutes is nothing, what he needs to do is let the players know what to do next.

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

The opposition relied on more running to defend against Manchester United. It's a solid defence that can limit the individual play of the stars to the maximum, but no defence is flawless, and as long as United increase their cooperation, the situation will definitely improve a lot.

Ferguson then calmly spoke about the adjustments in the second half.

The summary is, "The frontcourt should increase cooperation and reduce individual dribbling; At the back, pay attention to restricting the front of the penalty area, and don't let the opponent shoot lightly".

This is a completely adaptation to Derbyshire's tactics.

Listening to Ferguson's tactical set-up, some players think about the first half of the game. It is completely clear that they are all world-class players after all, and they are quite good in terms of the big picture, awareness and ability to read the game. In the game, they didn't know why the opposition defended so well, but as soon as Ferguson talked about tactical adjustments, they had a general idea of Derby's tactics and knew that this was the best option.

They let out a long breath and regained their confidence in the game!

In fact, more people are very aggrieved in their hearts. They're Manchester United, and they're the other side. A small League One team can lead them in a game like this?

In the second half, I want to give the other party some color and see!

After the break, the two teams streamed out of the tunnel and soon the referee's whistle began the second half.

It can be seen that Manchester United have clearly increased their combinations.

It's a targeted play.

Football professionals who analysed the tactics of both teams at half-time immediately saw it, with Sky TV guest Lineker also commenting, "Manchester United have made some tactical changes to the Derby defence, they have made very targeted adjustments, and we can predict that Derby County will not be easy to play in the second half"

Derby County fans are also worried.

Most fans didn't see any tactical targeting, but what they did see was that Derby County were more passive and United's attacking threat was much higher.

In the first half, Derby County was also very passive, but the passivity at that time was different from now, most of them were just Manchester United control the ball, they really hit the ball into the Derby County penalty area, and created a threat not much, but now, only five minutes into the second half, Manchester United created two threats, although there was no goal, but the goal is always in crisis, or make the fans feel scared, they all watched the game with wide eyes, lest in the blink of an eye, the football flew into the Derby County goal.

This is true on the field.

In the second half, Manchester United obviously increased the cooperation and reduced the individual dribbling, Manchester United played a very smooth cooperation, even if they are not the kind of team with a traditional attacking style (such as most of the Spanish teams, Barcelona is the most prominent), but Manchester United is the world's top team, the team is full of famous stars, and the cooperation is needless to say, with the cooperation of many passes, the defense of Derby County does not play much role at all, and as a result, Manchester United easily gets opportunities again and again.

The game went smoothly and the United players played better, so the Derby County goal looked dangerous.

At this time, Wan Sheng was already standing on the sidelines.

He had long thought that Manchester United would make some adjustments to the attack, because of this, he poured cold water on everyone at halftime, reminding everyone to play seriously and not to have any carelessness, but he didn't expect that after a halftime, Manchester United would adjust so resolutely, you must know that Manchester United is actually not very good at this kind of coordinated attack, the more passes, the more mistakes, but Manchester United has a suppressive strength, even if the occasional pass mistake is snatched twice by Derby County is nothing, and it will continue next time, in this case, the pressure on the team's defense became extremely high.

Wan Sheng's worries are almost the same as those of the Derby County fans – he is afraid that in the blink of an eye, the football will be in his own goal.

He wants the team to try to defend as well as possible, as long as they survive the opening period, as the old saying goes, 'one blow, then decline, three and fail', the team still has a good chance of having a goal advantage.

So he stood on the sidelines and watched the game sternly.

The camera lens is pointed.

The big screen in the stadium gave Wan Sheng a close-up, his face was clearly visible, and the on-site commentator couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that Wan Sheng is a little out of breath, he is still too young, in this kind of competition, it is normal for the team to be passive for a while."

"He is still too young and too inexperienced, and he has no mood on his face."

Some fans laughed at the commentator's words, but they didn't have any malicious intent, after all, the commentator's saying that Wansheng was young was not sarcastic, and in some ways it was also a compliment.

However, there are still Derby County fans who complain in their hearts

Wansheng can't hold his breath?

Whether this is the case, they don't know, what they know is that the team is now facing Manchester United, if you think about it differently, their team strength is the same as Manchester United, Manchester United has become a League One team, their strength is much stronger than Manchester United, if that is the case, they will not be as worried as they are now, it will be Derby County who suppresses the opponent on the field, and then they will not worry about the goal, let alone ten thousand wins.

Wansheng can't hold his breath?

TMD, if our team has a pressing advantage in the game, we can all calm down!

on the playing field.

Derby everybody is working hard and now they have a goal advantage and the passivity has only made them work harder – they have seen hope of winning and they want to make that hope a reality, so everyone is trying, even though they are very passive.

For ten minutes in a row, Derby County did not have a single shot on goal.

They've been defending, defending, defending, and even so, they've been on the fence for their own goal.

On the other hand, Manchester United's attack is very smooth, although in the face of Derby's defense, Manchester United is still difficult to deploy, after all, continuous cooperation, there will also be mistakes, but they have a suppressive advantage, and they are not afraid of Derby County breaking the ball at all, so they play very easily.

The only thing missing is a goal.

If you can't score, it's useless to have a big advantage, and every Manchester United player knows that, so they try to push the ball towards the Derby goal.

Under the bombardment of Manchester United, the Derby County goal looks even more precarious (to be continued)
