Everton and Derby County actually have one thing in common, that is, in the summer, the media did not have much hope that Everton could play well, because Everton did not add to their strength, and also sold the team's most promising young star, Wayne Rooney.

Wayne Rooney was sold for a whopping 27 million pounds, which was enough to make Everton club's economy better, and even enough for manager David Moyes to replenish the team's squad, but unfortunately it was September when the deal between Manchester United and Everton was completed, and the league was played in three rounds, and the transfer window closed in less than two days.

Because of this, the media is not optimistic about Everton.

But Everton's results have been astonishing, with almost half a season at the end of the season and they are only fifth in the league behind Manchester United.

David Moyes led the team to this kind of performance, relying on the same team from last season, and the only signing can only mention the Australian striker Cahill who bought from Derby County, Cahill is not bad at Everton, but it is worse than when he was at Derby County, he was the top scorer in the second division, and helped the team score consecutive goals in the FA Cup, and even scored against Manchester United.

Gary Cahill has scored five goals in the league so far, which is not bad for a striker who has just landed in the Premier League, after all, he has only made 11 league appearances. For some teammates who are still in Derby County, this goal count is nothing, and even full-back Layton Baines can match him in goals, not to mention Ivan Crewe, Morris and others, and I don't know how much worse than Van der Vaart, who replaced him.

Because of this, many Derby County supporters gloated about Cahill before the Derby and Everton game.

'He chose to leave Derby County and ended up scoring fewer goals than a full-back!'

"It's a good thing he's gone, otherwise we wouldn't have Van der Vaart!"

"Van der Vaart is much better than Cahill!"

'Maybe Cahill has the quality but it was a mistake for him to leave. Moyes is not as good as Wansheng will use people"

The last statement has received a lot of affirmation, but in fact, Wan Sheng knows that Cahill is indeed not as good as Van der Vaart, but as a striker goalscorer, his strength and mentality are quite good, which is still certain, but in Everton, there are no various coaching skills added, plus he was kicked out of the players' union, and his strength will decline a little. Naturally, he became an 'ordinary player'.

In this case, Cahill's ability to score five goals in half a season is enough to prove that he is outstanding.

But no matter how outstanding he is, he is not his own player, now he has become an Everton player, and he left so resolutely at that time, Wan Sheng will not 'care about the old feelings' or anything, after all, the world of football is like this, professional players themselves are fiercely competitive, and he can't hope that the players of other teams will be good.

Before the match against Everton. Wansheng's main job is to let the team conduct tactical training.

Now the direction of tactical training has changed, the team's tactical training before was mainly for some small cooperation training, but now Wansheng is in training. More teams are required to defend - defensive positioning, defensive coordination, defensive formation, when to run, make up defense, etc., these aspects of temporary response are still very critical in the game.

Wansheng's purpose is to make the team's defensive ability stronger.

It's the same as the previous training. It's a long-term job, but with the 'collaboration' skill bonus, the team's tactical training is still very adaptable.

In the process. Wansheng is also improving his coaching quality.

As the team's training became more and more refined, more and more technical, Wan Sheng felt more and more inexperienced, when he first started coaching, he only felt that it was not difficult to be a head coach, he quickly adapted to the work, and the results of leading the team were quite good, but now he found the gap between himself and those top coaches, that is, lack of experience, and knowledge can not be compared at all.

Those veteran coaches who have professional player experience, or have been coaching for more than ten years, or even decades, have a lot of experience, and naturally have a lot of experience, so much time to accumulate, the accumulation of knowledge in all aspects of football will also be quite rich.

Wansheng is different.

He has only been a head coach for less than two years, and in such a short period of time, apart from some 'theoretical' knowledge, there is not much real practice.

So in the process of leading the team for tactical training, the strength of the team has improved, and he himself is in a process of accumulating knowledge.

Still, Wan Sheng likes to stay in the office and think about something.

What helped Wansheng the most was not to train with the team, but to think alone, especially to think about some tactics and game issues on the 'arrangement' interface of the football training master system.

In the 'line-up' system, when a player's position is adjusted, the team's offensive and defensive ability evaluation immediately changes, either more or less, and then according to the player's attribute ability, he will think about why there is such a change.

In addition, sometimes after making some adjustments, the offensive or defensive evaluation can be greatly improved, what is the reason for this change?

He'll think about it.

This brings us to the quality of the players and the changes in tactics.

Whenever you figure out a problem, and then combine this problem to make some adjustments to the team's tactics, and practice this adjustment on the training ground, in this way, while strengthening the team, it will also make Wansheng feel that he has learned something new.

It's an improvement for the whole team and an improvement for him personally.

However, this work is long-term in nature, and it is also very related to the problems he wants to study for his master's degree, and Wan Sheng is only doing it in his free time, and he still has to deal with one game after another.

Soon the Carabao Cup quarter-finals between Derby County and Everton are approaching

Everton's manager is David Moyes, he has played Wansheng twice and lost both games, but this time, Moyes is confident, one is that Derby County have been in a bad situation recently, their core Morris is injured and cannot play, and the other is that Everton are in very good form. It's a good form in the league.

Naturally, Everton is very advantageous.

Moyes also believes that Derby County are likely to drop the Carabao Cup.

This is the result of rational analysis.

At present, Derby County have the league, the League Cup and the League Cup, and the FA Cup will start again after Christmas, with Derby's ability, it is impossible to deal with the fourth-line battle, especially now, their midfield core Morris is injured, it is said that he will be out of action for at least three months, which will definitely have a big impact on Derby County. So they're bound to give up some games.

A sane manager would do that.

In Morris's view, Wansheng must belong to a rational coach, otherwise he would not have led the team to play such a good result, in this case, giving up the League Cup is an inevitable choice, because the league is impossible to give up, the League Cup is a European competition, can bring some benefits to the Derby County club, and it is impossible to give up. In contrast, the League Cup is like chicken ribs, even if the League Cup wins, how much real benefit can there be? £2 million? £1,000,000? Or even less?

So Derby County dropping the Carabao Cup is a very likely choice.

However, Morris will not bet on his opponent to give up. He still takes the game very seriously, the League Cup is what Everton wants to fight for, although this competition is a bit frivolous, but how can it be an honor? For Everton. The glory of the cup is not bad, after all, they are not qualified for European competitions, and the league champions can only 'dream' about it.

The outside media also thinks so.

A lot of media are covering the competition. They all mentioned that Derby County will probably not send all the main players, they did not mention that Wan Sheng will give up the League Cup, but not send all the main players, which means the same as giving up the League Cup, after all, no one can expect Derby County to beat Everton at Goodson Park with a semi-substitute lineup, right?

Even if Derby County does not give up the League Cup and send all the main players, the media is not optimistic about them, because Morris is injured and has lost this midfielder, and then to deal with Everton, who are in great form, Derby's winning rate will not be high.

In short, the pre-match public opinion was still biased in favor of Everton.

The coaches of the two teams did not take public opinion seriously, and in the pre-match press conference, neither Wan Sheng nor David Moyes mentioned the outcome of the game, they just talked about the recent situation of the team, and the questions of media reporters also revolved around this.

Although the two teams have played each other twice, in fact, there is no grudge between the two teams in history, so there was no war of words before the game, but David Moyes and Wan Sheng walked out of the venue together.

It's the same on the pitch, the two managers stand in front of them and shake hands with a smile, although they are now opponents, but on the surface, the two are still very kind.

But when the game starts, it's a different story.

David Moyes directed the team to attack from the start, and Everton directly put on a head-to-head posture against Derby County, which surprised many.

It is now known throughout England that Derby are very good at attacking, their tactics are somewhat suppressive, and few players dare to go head-to-head with Derby.

Everton have suffered two losses before, and now they are going to do it? And it seems that it is more resolute!

Actually, David Moyes also has his own ideas.

He naturally knows that Derby County is good at attacking, and the kind of full-court pressing defense is also very difficult, plus their offensive speed is very fast, and the head-on attack will be a little unprepared many times, but this time he still has to play against Derby County, and the confidence is that Morris can't play.

If anyone else, they wouldn't understand the importance of Morris to Derby, but David Moyes has a very accurate vision, and has played against Derby County twice, so he can be said to know Derby County quite well, plus the team has a Cahill who understands some of Derby's tactical routines, it can be said that among the other 19 managers of the Premier League, there is no one who knows Derby County better than him.

So he is well aware of the importance of Morris to Derby County, and without such a core midfielder, Derby County will be affected a little bit both offensively and defensively.

The effect of this influence is like a strong person being replaced by a soul, the strong is still a strong person, and the strength does not change much, but the new soul always does not understand his own strength, even if he has strength, he cannot play 100%, and the impact of Morris's injury will not be so great, but it is definitely not small.

With this judgment, David Moyes has the confidence to go straight to Derby County.

Although Derby County have fielded all the main players they can send at the moment. It was a bit of a surprise, but David Moyes always had a smile on his face, and that smile was a sign of confidence, and as a manager, it was a sign of control of the game, and he believed that the game would not be out of his grasp, and he was naturally confident of winning.

But after the opening ten minutes, David Moyes began to put his smile away.

His face was much more solemn.

The game on the pitch was as he imagined, with Everton in control and football at the feet of the Everton players for most of the time. But the opponent's table is different from what he imagined, Derby County did not go to Everton at all, they focused on defense in the beginning, the formation did not stretch too wide, so the defense at the back was very tight, which made it very difficult for Everton to break through the defense.

The Everton players also found it very difficult to attack.

Derby County defended from midfield, from the halfway line to the edge of the box, which is their most densely defended area, and football is rolling around in the middle. But it was difficult to break through this area anyway, and for 10 minutes they had a lot of possession and a lot of attack. But he just couldn't play the advantage, there was only one long-range shot on goal, there was no threat at all, and the opponent's counterattack was very sharp. Every time Derby got the ball, they rushed back to defend, but Derby counter-attacked a little too fast. Once even attacked by the opponent into the penalty area, fortunately, goalkeeper Richard Wright was good and saved the ball directly, otherwise the score would have been rewritten by now.

Even though football was at Everton's feet most of the time, Everton were pressed on the pitch, but after watching the game for a while, it felt like Everton were being suppressed.

Wan Sheng sat in the coach's seat, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

In this game, his tactics were very simple, that is, to shrink the defensive line a little, and then use fast attack and quick counterattack as the main means to find opportunities.

When the football is at the foot of Derby County, regardless of whether the attack is successful or not, it will naturally return to the feet of Everton soon, so that Everton's possession rate will definitely be much higher, but this is only on the field, because the team's defense is very tight, and it is difficult for Everton to break through the defense and find opportunities.

So Everton has the advantage on the field, but they actually don't have any advantage, the key is to see the offensive efficiency of the two teams, and the team ensures the solidity of the defense, first of all, half of the victory, and the second half depends on the efficiency of the attack and counterattack.

This 10,000 win has Bolton Reitt himself as a lone striker, with Van der Vaart, Ribery and Wilburson behind him, all of whom are the fastest players in the team, and if they have the opportunity, they will pose a big threat to Everton if they are speedy.

If the attack is fast, it will be difficult for the opponent to deal with it calmly, and the natural opportunity will come.

Football is a game of chance, there is a good opportunity and seize it to complete the goal, while the defense is solid, the use of speed advantage to create zào, is the Derby style of play.

The tactic is still 'os-fast'.

All the players in the team are constantly running to create dense defense to limit the opponent, which is the basis of Derbyshire's tactical routine, but the way of attacking has changed, and the speed is faster than before, although there is less means of steady advancement, but it is also an advantage.

This is what Wansheng thought of as a way to cope with the next intensive schedule.

The tactics of focusing on defense are to try to ensure that they do not lose to stabilize their results, and at the same time, in competitions such as the Cup and the League Cup, they also try to ensure that they do not lose and have a greater chance of qualifying.

Now it's the cup competition.

Obviously, Everton did not expect that Derby County, who are good at attacking, would devote their energy to defence, and the extremely fast attacking and counter-attacking made them a little unprepared.

The goals were not long in coming.

This was in the 21st minute of the game, Derby County used the fast break to play a smooth combination, Van der Vaart led the attack, on the left side of the continuous 7 quick passes, 7 passes although not much, but the victory is fast, Everton was caught off guard by this continuous fast pass.

"Look! Derbyshire's fast break! ”

Even the on-site commentators were amazed by this fast attack, and for a while they didn't know that they couldn't mutter, until they saw Ribery on the left side of the penalty area get the ball, and he subconsciously shouted, "Danger!" ”

Ribery runs out of space on the left side of the box!

Everton was caught off guard, and the defense was a little flustered, but when Ribery got the ball, there was no one to defend left and right, and he took the opportunity to stop the ball and turn around to complete the volley directly!

This is a fatal blow!

The ball flew straight into the near corner of the net and goalkeeper Richardson Wright made the right save, but the ball flew between his hands and into the net.

The ball is in!

Frank Ribery!! ”

“0:1！ 0:1！ Derby County broke the deadlock first in the 21st minute when Derby used a very quick attack and after a couple of combined passes, Ribery managed to send the ball into the Everton goal! ”

David Moyers was stunned!

When Ribery shot, he stood up straight from the dugout, his eyes stunned as he watched the ball fly into his own goal.

He was worried about the game just now, but he didn't expect Derby County to play such a fast and delicate attack, and the key is that the opponent also completed the goal.

In this way, the next game will be difficult to play. (To be continued......) R1292
