Chapter 25 Buying and Selling Without Capital
In the final minutes of the first half, Derby County had been on the defensive, and under such a solid defense, Preston North End did not find any more good chances, and when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still 2:O, and Derby County were two goals behind Preston North End.
The game entered the half-time break, with the players of both teams returning to their respective dressing rooms.
During the break, the commentator also gave some summaries of the first half, focusing on Gregory being hospitalized.
"Hopefully he won't have any surprises."
"He must have had a heart attack, but it seems that the situation has stabilized, and according to the information we have received, Gregory was conscious when he was carried out of the ring."
"He needs some treatment."
After explaining Gregory's situation to the fans, the commentator talked about Derby County, "Gregory's results are average, but he is still very important to the current Derby County, if Gregory can't continue to coach, it will be difficult for Derby County to stay in League One." β
This is a very likely concern.
Derby County have been teetering on the edge of the relegation zone, and if the manager had gone wrong at this point, the interim change of manager might have made it even worse.
Then their downgrade is quite possible.
The commentator then said of the game, "In the first half, it was difficult for Derby County to equalise with two goals down. So far this season, Derby County have not been able to equalise once from two goals down, home and away. β
"There's not much hope for this game." He sighed.
This also disappointed the Derby County fans in front of the TV, the team's results are already very poor, and if they lose this one again, they are likely to fall directly into the relegation circle, and there is nothing worse than this.
But they really don't see hope.
Not only was he two goals down, Gregory was sent to the hospital, and without a manager and no one to direct the team, what could he hope for in the second half?
You say the young assistant coach who was a little funny and yelling on the sidelines?
He might have made the team lose a few more goals.
β¦β¦
Derby County fans were desperate for the game, and many fans couldn't bear to see their team lose, so they left the stadium at halftime.
In the home team's dressing room.
The Derby players are also a bit desperate, 'they have never equalised by two goals this season', which is not a number for them, but a real experience, they are not confident that they can equalise when they are two goals down, not to mention that even the manager has been carried away now.
What about the second half?
Nobody knows.
Some of them even thought it would be nice to end the game as soon as possible, they didn't know what to do in the second half, they didn't see any hope at all, and the 45-minute game was going to be very difficult.
No one spoke in the dressing room, and the atmosphere was suffocatingly low.
When Wan Sheng walked in, he saw this scene. A few people looked up at Wan Sheng, they knew that Wan Sheng had replaced Gregory's job now, but more people were still doing their own thing, and they didn't believe that Wan Sheng, who had no coaching experience, could really do something now.
Wan Sheng coughed lightly.
He had thought that this light cough would make everyone's eyes focus, but he was wrong, except for the players who were already paying attention to him, everyone else was still doing their own thing, and there were even two players listening to music with their headphones plugged in.
Wan Sheng was a little annoyed, he picked up the stool in front of him and slammed it on the ground.
"Bang!"
Everybody pay attention.
Wan Sheng glanced around the locker room, his face was completely devoid of his usual warmth, and some were just stern, he stared into the eyes of these players, and said, "Do you think we must lose?" β
The players looked at each other, and no one spoke, but many of them seemed to ask rhetorically, "What do you say?" β
I said, "No! We still have a chance! β
Although some people don't think so, everyone listens.
Wan Sheng thought about it and said, "You probably don't know, before I worked here, I used to work at Manchester United, yes, that's right, it's Manchester United. β
Quite a few people are getting serious.
They really didn't know that Wan Sheng actually had coaching experience at Manchester United, which is incredible, after all, Wan Sheng is so young, and many people think that Derby County is the first place where he worked as a football coach.
"I know you probably don't believe it, but it's true." Wan Sheng said, "At that time, I went to Manchester United to apply, no one looked at me well, I was given a cold reception when I was hired, their youth director, who is the head coach of the youth team, was in charge of interviewing my McGuinness, he didn't care about me at all, I was waiting outside for the interview, and he was fooling around with the female staff inside. β
"I've been waiting outside for a long time."
"I thought, if it were an ordinary person, I would not be able to bear it and leave, but I didn't, I took the last chance - I broke into his office and saw him fooling around with the woman."
Speaking of this, Wan Sheng shrugged and smiled, "So I got the opportunity to work at Manchester United. β
Quite a few people laughed.
Wan Sheng's expression became stern again, "I don't say this to make you happy, but to say that we still have hope, so we shouldn't give up." β
"As long as the game doesn't go to the end, we have hope."
'It's just two goals down now, we have 45 minutes left, they can score two goals in 45 minutes, I think, we can do the same!'
"I repeat: we should not give up hope as long as there is still a chance!"
"Here, some of you are older than me, and some of you are younger than me." Wan Sheng suddenly stopped pacing, he waved his hand and said, "I can do anything to the end, I believe that you can too!" You are all real men, men of blood! It's not those, only the will give up! Sue me, are you!? β
"Not ......"
"Louder!" Wan Sheng shouted.
"It's not!"
The atmosphere of everyone was also mobilized, and they roared together.
"Good!" Wan Sheng nodded and smiled, "I believe you can do it, but confidence alone is not enough, I have already figured out what to do in the second half!" Believe me! Just listen to me, and we'll have a chance to equalize, or even win, just like when you train with me, I said you'll recover quickly......"
Quite a few people's eyes lit up.
Wan Sheng has no authority in directing the game, but in terms of recovery training, many people in the team have a deep understanding, and almost no one believes them at first, but as long as they train according to Wan Sheng's method, they can speed up their recovery.
This kind of magic is what they have experienced.
If he can do it in the recovery of the fΓΉ, perhaps, he will also be amazing in directing the game and formulating tactics?
Many people have more faith.
Then Wan Sheng began to explain the tactical layout to everyone in detail, the tactical strategy he thought of was to attack, a comprehensive attack, originally he was still a little hesitant, but think about the team behind two goals, what else to hesitate?
If you want to tie the score, you have to attack!
The players who are playing now, the formation that is discharged, if you pay attention to the balance of attack and defense, the offense is not qualified, and the defense is not qualified, it is really difficult to get back two goals in that game.
So he simply made a desperate bet and let the team go on a big attack.
As for the results...... Can it be worse than losing?
The team has nothing to lose, this is a fundamental deal, betting on winning the team will have a chance to equalize, or even reverse the score, betting on losing is just a loss. Perhaps, he also probably ended up with a 'mediocre in directing the game'?
That's all.
He's just an assistant coach for the team, so it's understandable that he didn't direct the game on an interim basis, right? As with the current situation of the team, he has nothing to lose alone.
β¦β¦
Although it is only a formation, Wansheng also adds a lot of his own understanding to it.
For example, if the ability of the two full-backs shows that their long passes are okay, then let them pass long to the middle, and if the midfielders have good short passing ability, then let them divide more sides and cooperate with the wings to find opportunities.
Combined, this is also a good set of tactics.
In the case of attacking on all fronts and reaching an offensive evaluation value of 76, it must be to let the players swing freely, and the team's offense will not be bad, not to mention the systematic tactics.
He believed that Preston must be unstoppable.
With Wansheng's detailed explanation, many players have also regained their confidence, especially when they are almost emphasizing offense now, they are looking forward to the game.
No one doesn't like to attack, especially when you're behind.
According to Wansheng's tactics, even if they can't win in the end, at least they will have a hearty second half, instead of desperately waiting for the game to end.
Finally, ten minutes passed.
Wan Sheng talked for ten minutes in a row, and he was still a little unsatisfied, but time didn't allow him to do so, and he tried his best to tell the players what to do, while getting everyone ready to get back on the field.
Even in the aisle, he was still saying to Ian Taylor, "Be careful to plug in and trust your teammates, they'll get the ball through." β
With that, the two of them had already walked out of the court.
Wan Sheng had to pat Taylor on the shoulder to signal him to play, and he himself walked to the coach's bench and waited for the second half of the game to begin.
