Chapter 36: You're Not Far From Success
Discussions about Derby's attacking tactics have been boiling with the Daily Mirror's coverage, and other major English media outlets, such as their direct rivalry, The Sun, have also been involved.
As a competitor, the Sun naturally can't follow the topic of the "Daily Mirror", they discuss this issue with the topic of Derby's 'three consecutive wins', so they specially wrote an article to report on the changes of Derby County after the arrival of Wansheng, the content of the article is quite neutral, talking about the results that Wansheng brought to Derby County, and also talked about several transfers of Derby County in the summer, of course, the focus is on Derby's three consecutive wins plus a draw in the league.
They think it will be difficult for Derby County to maintain that result.
This is the same as the opinion of the "Daily Mirror", in fact, in the area outside Derby, few media are really optimistic about Derby, mainly because Wansheng was too unfamous before, and Derby County has no outstanding and famous players at all, relying only on the original team and a few young players bought, it is really impossible to stand out in the fiercely competitive League One.
In League One, the teams that can be promoted will basically be the teams that are invested.
It may seem like a bit of a big deal to say that, but that's the way it is, for example, Portsmouth and Leicester City, who had a good record last season, were teams that often entered the England, and the team has been doing very well, and they also invested a lot of money in the transfer market last summer to buy good players, so their results in the league are naturally good.
There are also a lot of teams that don't produce output, and it's not unusual for some teams to fight for a promotion spot, spending millions, or tens of millions of pounds in the summer to buy good players, only to end up in the middle of the table.
But if you don't invest, you want to output, and you want to promote the teams in the English League. In recent years, there are basically none, there are very few dark horses in the English League, if this is too fierce competition in the league, some teams come up with good results, but intensive games will drag down these teams all of a sudden, so even if they come up with good results, it is very difficult to keep a season.
It will be very difficult for Derby County to achieve this goal.
As for their head coach Wan Sheng, the Sun gave a good evaluation, 'He may be the best Chinese coach in the future', this is their evaluation. This evaluation is really good, that is the best Chinese coach! But in fact, is there a famous coach in China? If you think about it this way, you can know that in fact, "The Sun" is not very optimistic about Wansheng.
Even if they were competitors to the Daily Mirror, it would be impossible for them to report against their hearts.
In short, the end result of the lively discussion about Derby County is still the Daily Mirror's argument - Derby County are unlikely to be able to maintain good results, and they are on the verge of being in crisis.
It's just a matter of time.
That's how they see it, and they're talking about it, in the Derbyshire area. There have been a lot of reports about this, and Derby County fans know that fans have different ideas, but the team is doing very well now. It is impossible for them to boycott the team because of these reports, which is not the practice of a qualified fan, some fans insist on holding high the banner of supporting Wansheng, and most fans are waiting and watching. They don't know whether to listen to these reports or not, so they remain neutral.
This is normal for fans to do this, after all, Wansheng is only leading the team to complete relegation. In case Wansheng leads the team to poor results in the future, they obviously will not support Wansheng.
That's for sure.
Fans of any team will look at the results, no matter what the results are, it is nonsense to say anything if the results are bad, this is the reality of the football world, there is no 'favor' to talk about.
At the same time, there is a discussion within the Derby County club.
But they didn't worry about anything, but for Wan Sheng, who was not yet 27 years old, was able to lead the crisis-stricken Derby County to complete relegation two rounds ahead of schedule, achieve eye-catching results at the end of the season, and then three wins and one draw in four games in the new season, making Derby County second in the league.
How great that is!
For others, they dare not say 100% sure, but 99% of them can't play such a good result, such a good coach was actually questioned by a group of media, and he was actually thought that the Derby County he led had no future, and he was actually slandered and disfavored by all kinds of things.
There's something ...... about this It's so weird!
Some more rational people have thought about why, the first is because of Wan Sheng's temper, he offended a lot of media, so the media will not say good things about him, and the second and most important reason, Wan Sheng is a Chinese.
If he had been English, English, Welsh or Scottish, he would have been touted as the youngest and most promising manager of the 21st century.
But he is Chinese.
When it comes to China, who thinks of football?
No, at least not in Europe, although racial discrimination is expressly prohibited by law, Europeans still have some discrimination against yellow and black people, and even they themselves can't notice it, but their hearts look down on it, especially in football, black people are fine, and yellow people can rarely play good football.
This is true of all Europeans, not to mention the proudest Englishmen in Europe!
The British have always thought that they are 'taller' than others, so they look down on people from other regions, when they see a yellow person succeeding, their first reaction is to question, especially Wan Sheng is still so young, they are a little unacceptable, they think that such a person should be British.
What the? Surely he is Chinese?
Then he will definitely not succeed!
These are their subconscious thoughts, not really racist or anything, in short, they just don't think about Wansheng, you ask why?
They can quickly find all sorts of reasons, all sorts of reasons.
However, as a Derby County player who is familiar with Wansheng, he doesn't have so much thought, in the Derby County locker room, many players are very angry with the reports from the outside world, the coach is so good, and he is still questioned by all kinds of questions? It's so unfair.
But apart from being annoyed, they couldn't help it.
They're just regular players. Outside reports are not something that ordinary players can participate in, unless one day they become stars, really influential stars, what they say will be valued by the media and fans.
Big stars of this level...... In Derby, there's only one Ian Taylor.
At noon, Ian Taylor said in an interview, "Mr. Wan Sheng is a very good coach, I respect him, he is the one who keeps me where I am now. When I came to Derby, I didn't expect to be back in this state, but he helped me. ”
"I'm in great fitness right now and I'm happiest. At the end of his career, he was able to participate in the Derby County championship. ”
"Champion?" Ian Taylor said, "That's not a joke. Mr. Wan Sheng said that he wanted to win the championship, and he said seriously to us, I believe in him because he is a good coach. ”
'They all said that Derby County was in crisis, that our tactics would be cracked and that we couldn't keep it that way forever...... I think that's the joke. These are just malicious speculations about us by unrelated people, and I hope the fans don't believe them. ”
Ian Taylor's words have boosted the confidence of Derby County fans in the team, and Ian Taylor is still very influential in comparison. After all, he is a legend of Aston Villa, and many fans respect him, and hearing Taylor say this, Derby County fans also feel that they have been misled by those media.
The team finished four games but ranked second in the league!
What's not to be satisfied with this!?
But Ian Taylor's influence doesn't stop there. His words are like a drop of water dripping into a river, and he can't even set off a wave, and he is already a balloon star. The second is that the only way to do these reports is to support Derbyshire's Derbyshire Life, Derbyshire Sport or a larger media outlet, even if they know Taylor's words, because it is the opposite of their previous report, and they will not refute their own views.
After training began in the afternoon of this day, Diamares did not organize the training immediately, but found Frank Ribery.
"Frank!" Diamares shouted.
Ribery hurriedly looked back and heard Diamares say, "You don't want to train yet, Wansheng asked me to inform you to go to his office." ”
"Boss looking for me?" Ribery was stunned.
Everyone else looked at it.
Ribery hurriedly asked, "Gail, what is the boss looking for me?" Do you know? ”
"He just asked me to inform you and didn't say anything specific." Diamares shook his head.
Ribery was disappointed, looking at his teammates feeling a little helpless.
There are several players in the team who have been called by the manager to talk to each other, and there are good experiences, such as the 'lazy' Osman was called once, which was not a good thing, and he himself was called over once, when Wan Sheng pointed out his passing problems, and then other players, such as Reiter and Alfred, were also called over, but they were all good things.
In short, there are good and bad, and there are half of them.
But Ribery felt that it would not be a good thing for Wan Sheng to call himself, first he was decent in the game, but it was definitely not very good, and then the last time he was called over, Wan Sheng called him and pointed out his passing problem, although it was a bit of a pointer, but it was not a good thing to be pointed out by Wan Sheng to play the ball.
Ribery was a little nervous, he couldn't think of what Wan Sheng was calling himself for.
All the way, he was thinking about what he did wrong, but he still didn't think of the problem for a long time, he hesitated in front of the office door for a long time, and finally he shook his head and simply knocked on the office door.
"Please come in."
Wan Sheng's voice came from the office.
Ribery pushed the door open and walked in, and saw Wan Sheng standing in front of the tactical board writing and drawing, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something.
He didn't dare to bother, just stood there and waited.
After a long while, Wan Sheng finished the work at hand, his brows furrowed, he turned back to sit on the chair behind the office, and stretched out his hand to signal Ribery to sit down as well, "Whatever, it's okay." ”
Ribery grinned and sat down with some trepidation.
He saw the coach's watch in front of him.
It was a very warm smile and very kind, which made people feel like bathing in the spring breeze, but think about his signing ceremony, the coach treated the reporters in the same way. Then finally uttered, "I'm sorry, I didn't give you an interview," and Ribery's heart sank.
This is not a good omen!
Wan Sheng didn't know the complicated thoughts that were going through Ribery's head, and he was just studying how to increase his offensive means.
In order to increase the means of attack, it is natural to play more cooperation.
It may sound simple, but the word 'cooperation' itself is all-encompassing, and any small cooperation requires time to practice, and it is not easy to achieve results in a short period of time. But until then, he must come up with proven ways to increase his offensive means.
He thought of Ribery.
Before, he wanted to cooperate and cooperate, but he didn't expect that in fact, there are still players in the team with very good foot skills, and Ribery is the most outstanding among them, his foot skills can be said to be no worse than those famous stars, the only thing is only the lack of experience and overall cooperation with the team.
On the question of how to use Ribery, Wansheng still spent a lot of brain cells, which is not an easy task, Ribery's technology is so good. Why did Ales give up on him? There must be a reason for that, and the reason is that Ribery won't cooperate with anyone else.
So the last time Wansheng talked to Ribery alone, it was to ask him to cooperate more and dribble less.
Ribery doesn't pass the ball and really doesn't play much of a role in the game. Riberido passes. He's a full-back.
That's all.
It's just a qualified full-back, not a lot of brilliance, thinking that more passes will limit Ribery's individual swings, and he will help the team's overall attack. Individual strength is also suppressed by the overall strength of the team and cannot be fully swayed.
The way Wansheng wants to increase the means of attack is to let Ribery fully wield his strength!
How?
It's a difficult thing to do. In a team, not every player can swing his strength at will, which is related to the tactics of the head coach, such as letting a forward player play as a defender, he must not be able to swing his strength, such an analogy seems to be a bit excessive, but tactics are like this, under the tactics, each player is a composition of the tactical role, as one of the components, players need to do to ensure that the tactics can be fully wielded, and then the personal ability to swing.
This also led to the suppression of Ribery's personal ability, and he couldn't swing it all.
When he can carry the ball forward, he needs to make passes for tactical and overall offensive considerations; When he can break through to the baseline and cross, when he sees a teammate asking for the ball, a lot of times he passes the ball over. These are the reasons for restricting Ribery's swing.
So what to do?
Wan Sheng thought about it for a long time before he had a little idea, but whether he could succeed or not would have to be known later.
……
Ribery was a little nervous.
Wan Sheng came back to his senses, the scar-faced man in front of him was now a bit like a child and helpless, he smiled and shook his head, sighing in his heart that the majesty of his head coach had unconsciously risen a lot, and then he said out loud, "Frank, I remember telling you that I brought you to Derby County because of your outstanding ability. ”
Ribery nodded, looking at Wan Sheng with some puzzlement.
He doesn't quite understand why Wan Sheng keeps emphasizing this issue, in fact, he has always felt that Wan Sheng is comforting himself, the truth is that his ability is not less than others, just look at the table on the court to know, if he is really outstanding, why the best table is always Cahill, Morris and others, he has not won the best in four games.
"What I said is true." Wan Sheng nodded sincerely, "I think you can understand that when you are competing, you always feel constrained, right?" ”
Ribery was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but nod.
"That's not your problem, Frank." "That's a matter of tactics, and now I'm going to give you a chance to swing as much as possible, but you have to try to do it well, because I can't guarantee that this method will succeed." ”
Ribery was stunned.
He didn't expect the coach to say this to him, as much as he could? This is to let yourself pass others with the ball casually, choose to pass the ball or not, and try to show your personal ability?
But this ...... Will it work?
In fact, Ribery has always had this question in his heart, because when he is playing, he does feel that he is tied up in his hands and feet, and he can't use it if he has the ability, because he has to cooperate well with his teammates and adapt to the offensive rhythm of the whole team, which he can adapt to very well, but that's all, he can't make a tactical appearance.
Wan Sheng also means this, "I will arrange a new arrangement in the afternoon, and I want to make sure that this arrangement is possible or not, and the most important thing is that you, Frank, you have to do a good job." ”
"If you succeed, I'm sure you're not far from success."
Ribery was completely stunned.
He didn't expect Wan Sheng to call himself for this purpose at all, it seemed to be called 'entrusting a heavy task'!
Truth be told, he's been looking forward to this day.
Back in his time at Ales, he hoped that one day, the team would entrust him with the task of playing freely on the pitch, showing his strength as much as he could, breaking through at will, dribbling the ball at will, and he was very confident in that. He used to do this without following the coach's instructions, but when he did it, the whole team's performance was affected a lot.
The results are natural...... Be tragic.
He was angrily scolded by the manager of the Ales team at the time, and it was then that he became a fringe player for the Ales club, with him and without him.
But Wan Sheng actually took the initiative to ask him to do this?
Ribery was really not sure that he could do a good job, and his confidence was shaken a lot, and at that moment, he saw Wan Sheng's trusting smile while putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Frank, I'm sure you can do it well! We will definitely succeed! ”
"I ...... We? Ribery hesitated for a moment, his face became firm again, and he said with some excitement, "Thank you, boss! I also believe that we will succeed! ”――
