Chapter 65 Quick Offensive

Everton and Derby County actually have something in common, that is, in the summer, the media did not have much hope for what Everton could do well, because Everton did not replenish their strength and sold the ball at the same time. The team's most promising young star, Wayne Rooney.

Wayne Rooney was sold to a high price of 27 million pounds. This money is enough to make the Everton club's economy improve, and even enough to allow coach David Moyes to supplement the team's lineup. It's a pity that Manchester United and Everton traded When it was completed, it was already September, the league had three rounds, and the transfer window closed within two days. When it was David Moyes, he really experienced the embarrassment that he could not spend his money.

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

But Everton's results are very surprising, nearly half the season is over, they are only behind Manchester United, ranking fifth in the league.

David Moyes led the team to achieve this kind of performance, relying on the original team last season, the only signing can only mention the Australian striker Cahill bought from Derby County, Cahill is in Everton The performance is not bad, but compared with Derby County, he can be the top scorer in the second league, and help the team score consecutive goals in the FA Cup, and even break Manchester United's goal.

So far, Cahill has scored 5 goals in the league. This goal statistic is not bad for a striker who has just landed in the Premier League. After all, he has only played 11 times in the league. Compared with some teammates who are still in Derby County, this number of goals is nothing. Even full-back Leighton Baines can score the same as him, not to mention Ivan Crewe, Maurice Waiting for someone, I don't know how much worse than Van der Vaart, who took his place.

Because of this, before the match between Derby County and Everton, many Derby County supporters mentioned Cahill with some schadenfreude.

"He chose to leave Derby and ended up scoring less goals than a full-back!"

"Luckily he's gone, otherwise we wouldn't have Van der Vaart!"

"Vander Vaart is much better than Cahill!"

"Maybe Cahill also has the strength. But he chose to leave is wrong, Moyes can't compare to Wansheng's ability to use people..."

The last statement has been affirmed a lot, but in fact, Wansheng knows that Cahill is indeed inferior to Van der Vaart. But he's a striker as a forward. The strength and mentality are quite good, this aspect is still certain, but when I arrive at Everton, there is no various coaching skills bonus, plus being kicked out of the players' union, the strength will decline a little, and it will naturally become' Ordinary players'.

In this case, Cahill can score five goals in half a season. It's enough to prove his excellence.

But no matter how outstanding he is, he is not his own player. Now that he has become an Everton player, and left so resolutely at that time, Wan Sheng would not 'remember the old love' or something. After all, the world of football is like this. Professional players themselves are fiercely competitive, and he cannot hope for others. The team's players are doing well.

Before the match with Everton, Wansheng's main job was to let the team conduct tactical training.

Now the direction of tactical training has changed, the previous team's tactical training. Mainly for some small cooperation training, but now Wansheng is training. More requirements for the team to do defense-defensive positioning, defensive coordination, defensive formation, how to run at what time, supplementary defense, etc. The temporary response to these aspects is still very critical in the game.

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

This is the same as the previous training, which is a long-term job, but with the bonus of 'collaboration' skills, the team's tactical training adaptability is still very strong.

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

As the team's training became more refined and 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 job and led the team. The results are also quite good, but now he has discovered the gap between himself and those top coaches, that is, his lack of experience and knowledge are simply incomparable.

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

Wansheng is different.

He has only become the head coach for less than two years. 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 team's strength has improved, and he himself is in a process of constantly accumulating knowledge.

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

What helped Wansheng the most was not going to train with the team, but thinking alone, especially thinking about tactics and game issues on the “Arrangement” interface of the Football Training Master system.

In the 'Arrangement of Troops' system, when a player's position is adjusted, the team's attacking and defensive ability evaluation will immediately change, either more or less. Will think about why there is such a change.

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

He will think carefully.

This involves all aspects of player ability and tactical changes.

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

It's an improvement for the team, and it's a personal improvement for him.

However, this job is of a long-term nature, and it has a lot to do with the issues he wants to study for his master's degree. Wan Sheng is only doing it in his spare time, and currently he has to deal with one game after another.

The League Cup quarter-final between Derby County and Everton is quickly approaching.

......

Everton's coach is David Moyes. He has played against Wansheng twice and lost both games, but this time, Moyes is confident. One is that Derby County has been in a bad situation recently. Core Morris was injured and could not play. The second is that Everton is in very good shape and is in good shape in the league.

One trade off and one trade off, and naturally Everton is very favourable.

In addition, David - Moyes also believes that Derby County is likely to give up the League Cup.

This is the result of intellectual analysis.

Derby County currently has the league, the UEFA Cup and the League Cup, and the FA Cup will start again after Christmas. With the ability of Derby County. It is impossible to deal with the fourth-line battle, especially now, their midfield core Maurice is injured, and it is said that they will be out for at least three months, which will definitely have a big impact on Derby County, so they will definitely give up some games.

A sane head coach would do that.

In David Moyes' view, Wan Sheng must be a sensible coach. Otherwise, he would not have led the team to such good results. In this case, giving up the League Cup is an inevitable choice, because the league cannot be given up. The League Cup is a European event that can bring some benefits to the Derby County club, and it is impossible to give up. In comparison, the League Cup is like tasteless. Even if the League Cup is won, how many realistic benefits can there be? £2 million? £1 million? even less?

So Derby County to give up the League Cup is a very likely choice.

But David Moyes won't bet on opponents giving up. He still takes the game very seriously. The League Cup is what Everton wants to fight for. Although this competition is a bit tasteless, how can it be an honor? For Everton, the honor of the cup is not bad, after all, they are not qualified to participate in European competitions, and the league champion can only "dream" to think about it.

The outside media also thinks so.

Many media reported on the game that Derby County would probably not send all the main players. They did not mention that Wansheng would give up the League Cup, but if they did not send all the main players, the meaning was the same as giving up the League Cup. After all, no one can Count on a semi-substitute for Derby County to beat Everton at Goodson Park?

Even if Derby County does not give up the League Cup and sends all the main players, the media is not optimistic about them, because Morris was injured and lost this midfielder, and then to deal with the brave Everton, how can Derby County win not high.

In short, the pre-match public opinion is still biased towards Everton.

The coaches of the two teams did not take public opinion seriously. At the pre-match press conference, neither Wansheng nor David Moyes mentioned the outcome of the game, they just talked about the team's recent news. The situation, the questions of the media reporters also revolve around this.

Although the two teams have played against each other twice, in fact, there has been no grudge between the two teams in history, so there was no war of words or the like before the game. On the contrary, David Moyes and Wan Sheng were chatting and laughing together. Get out of the venue.

It was the same on the court. The two head coaches stood in front of each other and shook hands with a smile. Although they are now rivals, on the surface, the two are still very friendly.

But when the game started it was completely different.

Both of them dealt with the game seriously and had no intention of being kind at all. David Moyes directed the team to attack at the beginning. Everton directly put on a posture of facing off against Derby County. Few were surprised.

Now all England knows that Derby County is very good at attacking, their tactics are a bit overwhelming, and few players dare to face Derby County head-on.

Everton suffered two losses before, and now they have to do it? And it seems that it seems to be more determined!

In fact, David Moyes has his own ideas.

He naturally knows that Derby County is good at attacking, and the defense that presses the whole court is also very difficult. In addition, their attack speed is very fast, and they will often be caught off guard when facing the attack, but this time he still has to fight against Derby County. Fighting against the offense, the confidence is that Morris can't play.

Others would not understand the importance of Morris to Derby County, but David Moyes has a very accurate vision and has played against Derby County twice. There is a Cahill who knows some Derby County tactical routines. It can be said that among the other 19 Premier League managers, there is no one who knows Derby County better than him.

So he is very aware of the importance of Morris to Derby County. Losing such a core midfielder, Derby County will be affected a little whether attacking or defending.

The effect of this kind of influence is like a strong person has been replaced by a soul, the strong person is still a strong person, and the power does not change much, but the new soul always does not understand its own strength, and even if it has strength, it cannot be used 100%. Morris' injury won't affect that much. But definitely not small.

With this judgment, David Moyes has the confidence to directly attack Derby County.

Although Derby County has brought in all of their current squad, which is a bit of a surprise, David Moyes has always had a smile on his face that speaks to confidence. As a head coach. It represents the grasp of the game. He believes that the game will not be separated from his grasp, and naturally he is full of confidence in victory.

But ten minutes into the game, David Moyes gradually stopped smiling.

His face became much graver.

The game on the pitch was as he imagined, Everton had the situation in control, football was at the feet of the Everton players most of the time, but the opponent's performance was different from what he imagined. Derby didn't even go head-to-head with Everton. In the opening game, they focused on defending, the formation was not too open, so the defense in the backcourt was very tight, which made it very difficult for Everton to break the defense.

The Everton players also found the attack very difficult.

Derby County's defense starts from the midfield, and the midline all the way to the front of the penalty area is the area where they are most defended, and the football is rolling in this area, but it is difficult to break through this area anyway. The game went on for ten minutes and they had a lot of possession. There are also a lot of offenses, but they just can't get an advantage. There is only one long shot, and there is no threat to the ball at all, but the opponent's counterattack is very sharp. The county's counterattack was a bit too fast, and once was even attacked by the opponent into the penalty area. Fortunately, goalkeeper Richard Wright performed well and saved the ball directly, otherwise the score would have been rewritten by now.

Even though the football is at the feet of Everton most of the time, Everton has also achieved the suppression on the scene, but after watching the game for a period of time, it feels like Everton is suppressed.

Wan Sheng sat on the coach's bench with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

In this game, the tactics he arranged were very simple, that is, to shrink the defense line a bit, and then use fast breaks and fast counterattacks as the main means to find opportunities.

Fast attack and fast counterattack are all about speed. There is no step-by-step advancement, and each attack will naturally not take long. When football is at the foot of Derby County, no matter whether the attack is successful or not, it will naturally return to the foot of Everton soon. , In this way, Everton's ball possession rate will definitely be much higher, but this is only on the scene, because the team's defense is very tight, it is difficult for Everton to break through the defense and find opportunities.

Therefore, Everton has the advantage on the scene, but they can't actually have any advantage. The key is to look at the offensive efficiency of the two teams, and the team ensures the stability of the defense. First, they win half, and then the second half depends on the offensive and The efficiency of the counterattack.

In this 10,000 victories, Bolton Reiter was the lone striker himself, with Van der Vaart, Ribery and Webersen as support behind him. These players are all the fastest in the team. If there is a chance, how many people As soon as the speed is mentioned, it will pose a great threat to Everton.

The attack speed is fast, the opponent is difficult to deal with calmly, and the natural opportunity comes.

A football match is all about an opportunity. If you have a good opportunity and seize it, you can complete the goal. While stabilizing the defense, you can use the speed advantage to create. This is the way Derby County plays.

The tactics are still 'OS-Fast'.

All the players in the team are constantly running to create intensive defense to limit the opponent. This is the basis of all Derby County tactical routines, but the attack method has been changed. It is faster than before. Although there is less means of stable advancement, It's actually an advantage.

This is what Wansheng thought of, how to deal with the next intensive schedule.

The defense-based tactics are to ensure stable results without losing as much as possible. At the same time, in competitions such as cups and UEFA Cups, we also try to ensure that we do not lose as much as possible. In this knockout match, we try our best to ensure the chance of natural promotion without losing. bigger.

Now it's a cup game.

Obviously, Everton did not expect that Derby County, which is good at attacking, would use their energy on defense. The extremely fast attack and counterattack caught them off guard.

The goal came quickly.

In the 21st minute of the game, Derby County used a fast break to play a smooth cooperation. The attack led by Van der Vaart made 7 consecutive quick passes on the left. Although the 7 passes were not many, the victory was in The speed is fast, and Everton was caught off guard by this continuous rapid pass.

"Look! Derby County's fast break!"

Even the on-site commentator was amazed by the fast break, staring at the screen for a while, mumbling speechless, until he saw Ribery on the left side of the penalty area getting the ball, he subconsciously shouted, "Danger! "

Ribery ran out of space on the left side of the penalty area!

Everton was caught off guard, and the defense was a little flustered. As a result, when Ribery got the ball, there was no defense at all, and he took the opportunity to stop the ball and turn around to complete the volley!

This is the fatal blow!

The ball flew straight to the near corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Richardson Wright made a correct save, but the ball passed through his hands and flew into the goal.

The ball is in!

"Goooooooooal!!! Frank Ribery!!!"

"0:1! 0:1! Derby County took the lead to break the deadlock. This was in the 21st minute. Derby County used a very fast attack. After a few coordinated passes, Ribery successfully sent the ball to Everi. Open the door!"

David Moyes was stunned!

When Ribery shot, he stood up directly from the coach's bench, his eyes were blank, watching the football fly into his own goal.

He was worried about the game just now, but he did not expect Derby County to play such a fast and subtle attack. The key is that the opponent also completed the goal.

As a result, the next game will be difficult to play. (To be continued ~^~)
