From the evening to the next day, various Derby County media outlets talked about what Wan Sheng said at the press conference, focusing on the phrase 'Tottenham Hotspur have a chance to qualify for European competitions this season'.

They happily talked about it.

A manager's public praise of an opponent is actually just a courtesy, and there is nothing to say in itself, but the phrase 'Tottenham Hotspur have a chance to qualify for European competitions' is definitely a big hole.

If Tottenham Hotspur fans suddenly hear this sentence, they will think it is a direct irony, their current results are outrageously poor, they are hovering near the relegation circle, and when they are more than halfway through the schedule, what can they strive for 'European qualification'!?

That's!

Is this a satire on Tottenham Hotspur's bad results?

But the point is that the Chinese coach of Derby County said it 'unintentionally', and the expression and tone of his voice let people know that he was politely praising his opponents, but it was a pity that he was too 'ignorant' about the situation at Tottenham Hotspur.

It's a really interesting thing.

It is extremely rare for a manager to make such a big difference when evaluating the opponent he is about to face, and it also shows that the young Chinese coach has no idea about Totneumwich's current situation, which means that he doesn't care about the FA Cup at all.

More hostile and neutral media in Derbyshire? Concerned about the previous topic, they reported Wansheng's mistake as a joke; Tottenham Hotspur's media are more concerned about the latter, as long as they know that Derby County don't care about the FA Cup.

"There was a hilarious scene at the Derby County club's press conference yesterday"

'Derby County manager Wan Sheng, commenting on their upcoming opponents in the FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur, used this phrase when he said: 'Tottenham Hotspur have a chance to qualify for the tournament this season'.

"Oh, yes! That's definitely not about qualifying for the cup, it's about the league! League matches! ”

"It's really interesting. Tottenham Hotspur are currently 15th in the league and are not yet completely out of the relegation zone, having left their managers in October last year and are now in charge of the team with acting manager David Pritter and youth director Alex Inglethorpe. ”

"Are the young Chinese complimenting the abilities of David Pulit and Alex Ingleso!?"

"But I guess he knows who David Pullett is, and he won't know what Alex Ingleso looks like."

"It looks like he's talking about Tottenham Hotspur's results in the past, but this season's Tottenham Hotspur is different, they have encountered a crisis, obviously this Chinese has not cared about Tottenham Hotspur at all"

'It means that Derby County don't care about the FA Cup, their focus is all on the league.'

'It's understandable, given that Derby County are currently top of the league, even in the traditional FA Cup. No club promotion to the Premier League is important. ”

'But not caring about the FA Cup, it's not like a professional club in England, maybe we should remind him of what the FA Cup means to an English club, it's the most valuable championship for an English professional team.'

"But apparently it's a little late to remind him that he doesn't care about the FA Cup at all, and he doesn't care about the game against Tottenham Hotspur, and it is estimated that this FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur's match against Derby County at White Hart Lane, will also be meaningless."

"There will be no suspense about victory or defeat, I think. We can congratulate Tottenham Hotspur on their victory in advance. ”

“”

On the sidelines of the game's training pitch, Wan Sheng and Diamares were watching the reports.

Wan Sheng couldn't stop laughing, and Diamares asked next to him, "Wan Sheng." Will this really work? Would Tottenham be stupid enough to believe what you say? ”

Wan Sheng looked at Diamares, shook his head, and said, "I don't know either." ”

"And you're still doing it?" Diamares wondered, "If they knew you said it on purpose." Maybe it will be counterproductive, that will anger them"

"So what?"

Diamaresmares is still puzzled.

Wan Sheng put the newspaper still on the grass and said. "I'm not sure if it has an effect, but of course it's best if it works, and even if it doesn't, we don't lose anything, don't we?"

"But," Diamares was a little unsure of what to say.

"You have to try it anyway, it's best if it works, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, anyway, we're going to play with them at White Hart Lane, whether they believe it, or they think I'm deliberately sarcastic about their results, and I'm angry, it's better than doing nothing and playing head-to-head with them."

Diamares nodded in understanding, indeed, no matter what, it is better than nothing.

He suddenly found a gap between himself and Wan Sheng.

If this happens, he can only let the team prepare for the game, even if he has similar ideas, he will hesitate, and then finally feel that it will not be effective and give up, Wan Sheng is different, he has an idea and does it directly, there will be no hesitation at all.

That's the difference between him and Wan Sheng.

However, Diamares is now very open-minded, he has decided to just be an assistant coach, the stronger Wansheng's ability and the better the team's performance, the greater his fame will be, and then he, the assistant coach, will follow

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur's interim helm of David Pulit and Alex Ingleso are also watching the report.

After Houllier left, the two took charge of the team together, but there is also a distinction between primary and secondary, in terms of leading the team, David Pullett is the main decision-maker, and all decisions are made by him, Alex Inglethorpe is just leading the team with him, and the power is not as big as him, but the two do not have this division on the surface, and both of them are temporary coaches.

However, the two have worked together fairly well before, as evidenced by Tottenham's uptick in league results.

David Pullett asked, frowning, looking at various media reports on Derbyshire. "Alex, do you think that's true?"

Alex Inglethorpe shook his head, "Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but I've seen this Chinese." ”

"You've seen it?" David Pulit was a little puzzled.

"Last year I wanted to find an assistant coach of the youth team, he came to the club for an interview, it's funny a Chinese hahaha," Alex Inglethorpe said and laughed along.

David Pullett frowned again, "But he's successful now." ”

Alex Inglethorpe pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "yes." Very successful, a Chinese, actually became the head coach of the League One team, obviously actually led the team to play with us but I don't believe that a Chinese can have any skills in football, if he is a table tennis coach, maybe I will believe him, as for him to become the coach of League One? Who knows what's going on, it is estimated that the chairman of Derby County is blind, so he will find a young Chinese in his twenties to be the head coach. ”

'But Derby are now top of League One. They have a good result," said David Plitt.

"Good grades? First in League One? Who knows how they managed to do this, maybe it was just luck? ”

"Luck can't be the first in the league"

Alex Inglethorpe shook his head amusedly, "David, no matter what you think. Anyway, I don't believe that a Chinese can do something in football."

David Pullett pouted and stopped arguing with Alex Inglethorpe.

Alex Inglethorpe is very capable, but he always discriminates against non-English, even Europeans. Not to mention Africans, Asians.

He was completely a 'Great Englander' mentality, believing that the English were the noblest race in the world.

Because of this, Alex Inglethorp can only be David Pulitt's deputy. Because the whole Tottenham Hotspur club knows that he must not be a good manager, and many players in the team are very resistant to him.

David Pullett thought about it for a moment and shifted the subject back, "Alex, do you think Derby County FC will really give up the FA Cup?" ”

Alex Inglethorpe smiled disdainfully, "Definitely, I don't believe that a Chinese will lead the team to fight for promotion at the same time, but also take care of the FA Cup, he probably won't know what this event represents for England fans, he won't understand, so he will definitely give up the FA Cup, see, he doesn't even know our current situation"

David Pulit thought about it and nodded.

Exclude those with' The words of 'racial discrimination', Alex Inglethorpe actually said that it still makes a lot of sense, Derby County is trying to qualify for league promotion, the results in the league are very good, and keeping the top position in the league is the most important thing for them, the FA Cup is not important, not to mention, many foreign coaches do not pay attention to the FA Cup, because it will not bring benefits to the club, they feel that there is no need to put any effort into it, so it is normal for Derby County to give up the FA Cup.

But in the end, David Pulit shook his head, "Let's see, it's too early to draw conclusions so lightly." ”

Alex Inglethorpe shrugged, "You've always been so cautious, but this time it's definitely in vain. ”

Wan Sheng didn't know what happened to Tottenham Hotspur Hotspur, but he felt that if he wanted to release a successful smoke bomb, just saying a few words in front of the media might not be able to successfully deceive the opponent, not to mention that there were still two days before the game was played, and it would be bad if there was any news revealed in the team.

So when the team gathered for training the next morning, Wan Sheng directly stressed to the players - don't talk about the FA Cup in front of the media.

Quite a few people laughed.

They all saw the media reports last night and those reports looked a little incredible, and the coach would not know about Tottenham Hotspur? When pigs fly! Because the coach was still talking to them about Tottenham Hotspur and about this game that they need to work hard to win.

So that's just the coach deceiving the media.

No one thought about it, but after hearing Wan Sheng's words, some smart players also realized something.

'Don't talk to the press about the FA Cup, talk to them about our league! Sue them, we're going to fight for the league title! We want to be promoted to the Premier League next season! ”

'Looking forward to next season, when we get back to the Premier League, it's still very attractive.

Wan Sheng emphasized in particular.

After Wan Sheng said this to the players, everyone remembered that most of the players in the team believed in Wan Sheng, which was due to Wan Sheng's 'hypocrisy' affinity skills, as well as Wan Sheng's performance in leading the team and the improvement that the players felt in weekday training.

In short, Wansheng's control of the team is quite good.

So at noon and in the afternoon, when a reporter interviewed the Derby County players, they heard a lot about the current league, the Derby County results and even next season.

"I'm sure we're going to win the league!"

'We've had a good record so far, I hope the team can keep it up and I'll try to play as well as I can in the game'

'We're going to be in the Premier League next season and I'm looking forward to it!'

"I haven't played in the Premier League yet!"

“”

Listening to what these Derby County players said, you must know that Derby County is confident that the team will be promoted to the Premier League and even win the league title, so various media have reported that the whole Derby County is united and working together to fight for promotion, and the FA Cup match with Tottenham Hotspur has been weakened.

David Pulitt has also been following the Derby County news, and when he sees so many Derby players talking about the league, he doesn't feel the need to keep an eye on it. Alex Inglersoppes is right that Derby don't care about the FA Cup at all, they only care about the results in League One, so there's nothing to worry about at all.

This game can be regarded as a military training.

It is the right choice to send a substitute line-up, let the players who rarely play to experience it, and let the main players have more rest time so that they can perform better in the league.

David Pullett also let out a long breath.

In the period after Christmas, the fixtures were a bit too intense, and the league game after game made the atmosphere of the whole team tense and depressing, but fortunately this FA Cup game came in time, and the whole team was able to relax a little in recent days. (To be continued......) R1292
