Tottenham Hotspur had been attacking, and the Derby County defence was a bit stretched, so Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and personally directed the game. ↖ Top ↖ Story ↖ ↖,

His figure has become a distinctive scenery in the stadium.

A lot of cameras are pointing to the past, and there are also a lot of commentators and media commenting, and those who are purely in favor of Tottenham Hotspur have commented better, but they just say that 'the Chinese manager of Derby County is a little anxious'.

"Tottenham Hotspur dominate the field, and the Chinese coach of Derby County can only dominate the sidelines to direct the defense"

"The Derby County goal is dangerous, and the Chinese coach is a little anxious!"

"But it's understandable, after all, Derby County is only a League One team, and it's normal to be completely passive in the face of Tottenham Hotspur's goals, but the spirit of the Chinese coach not to give up the game is still commendable"

“”

There's nothing good about what the Derbyshire hostile media say -

"Look! The Chinese shouted like a clown, his voice was so loud that the camera could catch it."

"He's just doing useless work right now!"

"Does he still want to beat Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane? In my opinion, rational abandonment is the best option! ”

'He pre-game jokes that he was going to give up the game and it turned out to be a smokescreen, but it also taught him that football is all about quality and that it is simply not practical for Derby County to beat Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup.

"No matter how much he shouts, it's useless, Tottenham Hotspur's attack can't be stopped by shouting twice!"

"It's a fantasy that he wants to win!"

“”

Wan Sheng didn't know what the media said about him, of course, he didn't care at all, he stood on the sidelines for a long time, and in the end his voice was a little hoarse, and then he saw that the team's defense was much more stable, so he returned to the coach's seat with some peace of mind.

For him. Give up the game, that's impossible.

Even if Tottenham Hotspur were strong and had a first-half lead at home, so what? As long as the game is not until the last minute, the team always has a chance, as long as there is a little opportunity, he must seize it, and he does not believe that any team is invincible, even if it is the current Derby County, against the real giants. He'll also make the team fight, let alone just Tottenham Hotspur.

In football games, miracles are created and only by never giving up the pursuit of victory can we create miracles.

In the 2005 UEFA Champions League final, Liverpool were able to pull off the 'Istanbul Miracle' in the second half when they were three goals down, chasing three goals in six minutes and eliminating AC Milan on penalties. Won the European Cup. Compared to that game, Derby County are now only one goal behind Tottenham Hotspur, and the gap between the two teams is by no means as big as the gap between Liverpool and AC Milan, which is definitely a drop in the bucket compared to that game. Liverpool can turn the tables in that situation, this one is just a little passive, what is impossible?

Wan Sheng didn't think about the 'possibility of failure' at all, all he had to do was do his best to make the team win

On the field, the Derby County players are under the command of Wan Sheng. We all know what to do, and the whole team is a little bit stunned by Tottenham Hotspur at the moment, so what we need to do now is to defend solidly. Don't let the other party take advantage of it.

Everyone worked together to defend and Derby County defended a lot more immediately.

Tottenham Hotspur have slowed down a bit after scoring a goal, and the game is almost 30 minutes into the game, and they can't keep attacking at a high level all the time, and as time goes on, their attacking intensity is slowly waning.

By this time, Derby County had finally recovered a bit of a situation.

I can't say that I am in a par with Tottenham Hotspur, but I can occasionally score one or two Tottenham Hotspur halves and cooperate with a good attack.

But that's about it.

Derby County had only two shots on goal in the rest of the first half, both of which failed to threaten the Tottenham goal, and Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Keller was the most relaxed in the first half, almost like a spectator watching the game, just watching his team-mates in front of him play, and he himself was idle in front of goal.

The camera lens points to Keller.

I saw Keller standing in front of the door, shaking his hands leisurely, and then covering his mouth and yawning, and the on-site narrator called out in praise, "Look! Keller actually yawned, he was indeed too laid-back, but as the main goalkeeper of Tottenham Hotspur, he didn't make any saves at all in this game, he could only watch other people's watches, no wonder he would be bored"

Many Tottenham Hotspur fans laughed along.

The on-site commentator's statement was a bit praised, but in the first half of the game, Derby County did not pose any threat to the Tottenham Hotspur goal, and Tottenham Hotspur as a whole had an absolute advantage, they suppressed Derby County in various attacking numbers, and also scored a goal, which also showed the table between the two sides in the game.

Keller's yawn could have been used to explain the first half.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the scoreboard was still '1-0', with Tottenham Hotspur one goal ahead of Derby County, and the two teams went back to the dressing room with the scoreline

When Wan Sheng saw the referee blow the whistle, he got up directly and returned to the locker room.

For the first half behind one goal, in fact, he is quite satisfied, although one goal behind, can be seen from the team's table, only one goal behind, or because the team strengthened the defense in the later time, if it is a head-to-head attack with Tottenham Hotspur, this kind of table Xiàn is not surprising to be three behind.

He had to change that.

At least the team needs to be in normal shape in the second half, and only then can they have a chance to beat Tottenham Hotspur here, otherwise the performance is not guaranteed, and there is no need to talk about victory or anything.

But Wansheng is confident.

In fact, in the second half of the first half, many players have found their form, but Tottenham Hotspur attacked too fiercely and did not have time to make adjustments to counterattack back.

The first half of the game is over. The Derby players also returned to the dressing room, their pace was a little fast, they all lowered their heads and did not speak, just caring about moving forward, it seemed that their mood was a little depressed, so far this season, Derby County is the first time to be so passive.

Tottenham's players were not in a hurry at all, they played with ease in the first half, there was no pressure at all from the back, and the game seemed to them to be more showy.

This is the League One team that came to challenge them. Not much of a threat at all.

Instead, they talked about scoring, several players were annoyed that they missed a goal in the first half, they said that if they could take their chances, they would definitely score, they laughed and showed great confidence, and the Tottenham fans in the stands also applauded them, as if the game was over and Tottenham Hotspur had won by a big margin, but in fact. It was just half-time and by the time the Tottenham players walked in, the Derby players were already back in the dressing room.

The Derby County players all bowed their heads. Out of the corner of their eyes, they could see Wan Sheng standing coldly, they were a little worried, a little scared, so they all found a place to sit down and bow their heads silently.

They knew the coach would be unhappy with the first half.

The coach arranged a lot, but they got to the playing field. Always thinking about trying to show Xiàn, always thinking about beating Tottenham Hotspur, but the result is a lot of mistakes. It's not one person, it's the whole team, so the whole team was suppressed by Tottenham Hotspur, and they didn't even have the power to fight back, and they themselves felt ashamed of such a table.

This is especially true for a few young players.

People like Alfred, Layton Bynes, Osman and others are all playing against top league teams for the first time, their professional league has only just begun, and when they encounter a team like Tottenham Hotspur, and they play at White Hart Lane, it is inevitable that their mentality will be affected, and the result is that there are frequent mistakes in the game, and they all become pure rookies.

Faced with this situation, Wan Sheng actually had a headache, and he looked at these players with a solemn gaze.

They don't lack fighting spirit, they don't lack enterprising spirit, but the game experience and experience are too little, the team's old players, such as Morris, Marcus, Oakes and others, don't have this problem, because they have all experienced the top league, there will be no such unstable mentality at all, maybe they will be very excited to participate in this game, but this kind of emotion will not affect their performance.

These young players are different, their careers are just beginning, these are things that have to be experienced, and they have to go through it to mature.

That's where he made a mistake at work.

Before the game, he considered the strength of the two teams, thinking that if Tottenham Hotspur had a few fewer main players, the strength of the two teams would be much equalized, and Tottenham Hotspur would be more careless, and the team would have a good chance to win, which was from the perspective of strength, but he didn't expect the player's mentality to be so affected.

Fortunately, the team is very scrappy.

That's for sure.

Wan Sheng can see that everyone wants to win, which can be seen from the team's defensive table in the second half of the first half, everyone is doing their best, so the team's defense will be so solid.

He can also see the unwillingness in the eyes of the players.

It's a feeling of not being willing to fail like this, or feeling that just because it's not playing well, the team shouldn't just lose.

Wan Sheng could sense this, so his faith was even more abundant.

His solemn face slowly unfolded, turning into a kind smile on weekdays, and some players saw it out of the corner of their eyes, and they felt a little strange, at this time, what did the coach mean by laughing? Before they could figure it out, Wan Sheng spoke, "Raise your heads!" What do they look like with their heads down! I'm not your teacher, and you're not a kid who did something wrong! ”

Many people laughed out loud.

Even Diamares on the side is like this, he feels that the metaphor of Wansheng is really vivid, and the appearance of him and the players just now is exactly what he said? In fact, the situation just now is also very strange, the key is that Wan Sheng is only in his twenties, the same age as many players, and a few years younger than some people, so the 'teacher and child' is a bit strange.

Wan Sheng ignored everyone's expressions and just said, "I originally wanted to talk about the first half of the game, but when I saw the way you guys, I knew it wasn't a good idea. I won't say much about how bad your appearance is, and you should know very well in your hearts that I just hope that the second half will not be the same as the first. ”

"Now we're down by one goal, but it's not the end of the world!"

Wan Sheng restrained his smile, "I repeated to the media before the game that I stressed the league and didn't talk much about the FA Cup, but look at what they said, he said we gave up the FA Cup? I want to ask you, is there such a thing? ”

Many of the players laughed.

They knew that the coach was a smoke bomb that was released, which was to deliberately confuse Tottenham Hotspur, but recall that Wan Sheng did not tell the media that he was going to give up the FA Cup, but they just speculated in that direction, and it continued to expand, and the report was also in a certain tone.

"Nope!" "I didn't say to anyone that I was going to give up the FA Cup, but the media still think we gave up on the competition, why is that?" Because we're just a League One team and Tottenham Hotspur is one of the top five clubs in England, and it's here that the game is played, at White Hart Lane, and no one thinks we can win, so when I don't talk much about the FA Cup, they subconsciously think that I will also think that there is no hope of victory, and they will choose to give up the FA Cup."

"You should all know that we didn't give up, but so what?"

Wan Sheng asked a question, and at this point all the players raised their heads and listened carefully, "Even if we don't give up, those media still think that we don't have the slightest hope of winning, so even if we lose the game, the media will take it for granted, and the fans will also think it is normal, after all, our opponent is Tottenham Hotspur"

"I'm not saying this to emphasise how strong Tottenham Hotspur are, but to tell you what if we lose this game?"

"The media and the fans will take it for granted that we are the ones who deserve to lose."

"Whether you accept it or not, that's the way it is." Wan Sheng's face became extremely thoughtful, "In this case, I don't understand what psychological baggage you will have, are you afraid of losing?" No, we're not afraid at all! It's normal to lose. ”

"Or are you afraid of something else? Want to have a table in the game? ”

"No, no, no!" Wan Sheng waved his hand and said, "None of you are more famous than Robbie Keane, and if you look for a fan who only cares about Tottenham Hotspur, they won't know the name of any of you, understand?" ”

"You're unknown compared to the Tottenham Hotspur stars, so what are you worried about?"

"There is a local saying in China, 'Those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes', which means that those who have nothing and those who have a lot fight, of course, the one who has nothing wins, because he has nothing to lose, and we are the ones who have nothing, I want each of you to remember that we have nothing, it is nothing to lose the game, and it is nothing if the table is not good."

"Guys!"

Wan Sheng shouted violently, he pointed to the door of the locker room, and yelled, "What are we afraid of if we don't have anything!" Go kill them now, I'm sure we can do it! ”

Quite a few players followed suit.

Their fighting spirit has been stimulated by Wan Sheng, and at the same time, they are also thinking about Wan Sheng's words, compared to Tottenham Hotspur and Tottenham Hotspur players, they really have nothing, since they have nothing, what will they be afraid of?

Nothing to be afraid of!

They were ashamed of their cringe-inducing performance in the first half, and they couldn't help but want to get back on the pitch and play against Tottenham Hotspur on the other side. (To be continued......)
