Chapter 121 Idiot!

After winning Birmingham, Derby County has entered the FA Cup round of 16. At this stage, it is easy to meet strong teams, such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and other Premier League giants, all of which have entered the round of 16 , and the FA Cup is played in a round and a draw, that is to say, when Derby County enters the round of 16, the round of 16 opponents must be selected by lottery.

Going to the draw on behalf of Derby County is club chairman Gee Smith.

At present, the Derby County club is very busy. Wansheng will lead the team to train. Because the team has a very good record, this also drives the busy operation around the team. Wilcox's work is also very busy, and only Chairman Ji -Smith was an idler, so he went to London for the draw.

The draw for the top sixteen is very simple, that is, the representatives of the sixteen teams select eight people and take turns to choose their opponents.

Gee - Smith's luck is not bad, he helped Derby County draw one of the best signings - Colchester United.

This is one of the only two teams in the FA Cup top 16. It is very lucky to be able to draw a team in the top 16. When Derby The county club heard the news and gave Gee Smith a thumbs up.

"Well done, Jill!"

"You are so lucky!"

"Come on, let me touch your hand, chubby, full of meat..."

"..."

Although Ji Smith is a high-ranking club chairman, he is very kind in the club. Many staff and players often chat with him, and it is rare that so many people praise him, even Wansheng and Wilco. Cox complimented him a few times, and he was happy all day. He also cared about the current training and state of the team to Wansheng, and patted Wansheng on the shoulder, pretending to be a handsome chairman, "Work hard, I believe. We will definitely be able to appear in the Premier League next season! "

"..."

Wan Sheng felt speechless. He remembered that at the beginning of the season, Gee Smith didn't say that. The words he said to himself at that time still seem to be echoing in his ears, "Wan Sheng, we haven't invested much this season, and we will try our best to keep the team from relegation. now..."

That look of disbelief. Wansheng is really memorable. At that time, it was useless how he guaranteed it. Ji Smith just didn’t have confidence in the team. Wan Sheng thought he was a pessimistic person. How could he know that now that the team was doing well, he helped the team draw a good lottery. become like this.

All right......

In any case, he has led Derby County to achieve good results, and he also has a credit and honor for Gee Smith. Not only this good sign, but also because he is the chairman of the club. In the history of the Derby County club in the future, when it is recorded that he led the team to complete the promotion, the name of Ji Smith will also be attached, just because he is the chairman of the Derby County Club, and he agreed to enter the club by himself.

However, Wansheng was just having fun with Ji-Smith.

The January schedule is still quite busy. In less than ten days, Derby County has three league games to play. This weekend, they usher in their first game - away to Stoke City.

Ten thousand wins in this game allowed Alfred, Osman, Ivan Crewe and several other players who have been fighting in a row to rotate, and some players who rarely play on weekdays also have the opportunity to play.

Seeing the adjustment of Derby County, the media also realized that Derby County is actually very difficult, otherwise the Chinese would not always use rotation in the league. Derby County's main lineup is still very strong, but what about the substitute lineup... ... Not sure, it's a lot worse than the main lineup.

They were hoping for a Stoke win.

It is a pity that in the end Derby County defeated Stoke City on the road and continued to maintain its lead in the league.

At this time, many media suddenly realized that after Christmas, Derby County's results seemed to be much more gorgeous than the first half of the schedule. It took them half the season to open a six-point gap with Norwich, and they gave up the League Cup halfway through.

In the second half of the schedule, they currently have only one draw with Norwich in the league, all other leagues have won, and they have also won two FA Cup games with Premier League teams.

Such a record is too conspicuous.

However, by this time, many hostile media of Derby County have changed their strategy of reporting Derby County. Sometimes they have to report some Derby County games, but after Derby County beat Tottenham With reasons to downplay Derby County's victory --

Derby County can beat Tottenham Hotspur on the road, a league or two victories are all too normal!

First in the league, winning two games, is there anything worth reporting?

Derby County won Stoke City as normal, nothing to say at all, so they talked about the game on the report and claimed 'Derby County won a league win and kept the league's top point advantage' , 'This victory is normal, you can't expect a tenth-placed team to beat the league's No. 1, even at home is difficult'.

That's what the media says.

They deliberately played down Derby County's victory as a normal result.

But then Derby County won again!

It's a 'normal' game again, Derby County take on Gillingham at the Pride Stadium, the two teams played at home at Gillingham at the beginning of the season, Derby County handed over a perfect 4-0 answer, and now the venue is changed to Pride Field, Gillingham is even more difficult to win.

The final score was 3:0. In the face of Derby County's stormy offensive, it was difficult for Gillingham to perform well. This is a naked-naked-naked strength gap. It is difficult to change who will arrange the game. result.

"Derby County has won again. This is no big news. Norwich drew with Wigan Athletic in this game. Congratulations to Derby County for once again opening the league points gap..."

A sour report on the sports page of the Daily Mirror.

Derby County's winning streak has forced the most hostile "Daily Mirror" to talk about their game, but in the report, the "Daily Mirror" comment on the game is still a 'normal victory'.

"They won the away game with four goals in the first half of the schedule. It's not surprising to win this victory. After all, no one can expect Gillingham, who are trying to avoid relegation, to win against Derby County..."

"But then Derby will face Reading's challenge..."

The Daily Mirror finally commented.

Reading is indeed a difficult team to deal with, the last time the two teams played against each other was at the beginning of the season. At that time, Derby County drew 1:1 with Reading, and faced with Reading's solid defense, Derby County had little to do.

Reading's local media reported the game in the same way.

"Last time we were able to draw against Derby County, this time back at home, we have a chance to beat Derby County!"

"We're at home. There's a lot of opportunities. We're not as scared of the league as other teams!"

"Even if they attack sharply, we have a solid defense!"

"..."

Before the game, the Reading media appeared to be in high spirits, which also attracted more Reading fans to watch the game. Coach Koper also expressed the team's confidence before the game, "We will work hard to win! They are number one in the league, but we are not bad!"

It's a pity that it's not like this on the field...

Reading last game is to use a solid defense and counterattack. The draw against Derby County. But that Derby County is a Derby County with imperfect tactics. The current Derby County, after half a year of training, the tactics have been quite perfect, and the ability of each player has also improved to a certain extent. It is like playing BOSS in the game, Reading team It's that little boss, Derby County is the player. When the player is at level ten, he can't break the defense of the small boss at all. As a result, the two teams stood at 1:1, but now, half a year later, the player has risen to level 20, and the Reading team is still the little boss, and there is no change at all, so it is conceivable that the two teams will play again.

4:0, Derby County won a perfect victory.

Throughout the game, Reading was completely suppressed at their home ground. They only had poor two-footed shots, and the only solid defense they could rely on seemed to be a joke in the face of Derby County's sharp attack-long shots, headers. The ball, the free kick, and the powerful shot that directly broke the defense of the penalty area. The four goals included four types of shots. At the same time, it also proved that the Reading team could not rely on the defense to keep the goal. Coach Kewell's so-called confidence, in the When Derby County scored two goals in the first half, it disappeared completely.

After the victory over Reading, Derby County's January match ended perfectly, with all four league games and two FA Cups declared victorious. Even the media who are used to Derby County winning were quite surprised by this crazy record.

......

The Daily Mirror office building, Frith-Baker, London.

A young reporter is sitting at his desk, the end of the match between Derby County and Reading is playing on the computer screen in front of him.

He turned off the video, switched to the document, and after a little thought, wrote the title of the article, "Derby County beat Reading 4-0!"

And then the comments --

"This is a very ordinary league. Reading played at home against Derby County, and in the end Derby County defeated Reading. Derby County is the first league, it is normal to win a league game, but Norwich's game is more worthy of attention. , they beat Ipswich 1-0 in this round, Ipswich's defense is very solid, but in the end it was..."

Writing here, the office door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man walked in and asked, "Glen, have you finished writing the report for tomorrow's League One match?"

Glenn stood up immediately and replied, "Mr Brand, I just watched the Derby County game and am about to continue writing!"

"let me see."

Brand walked directly to Glenn's desk and sat down, read the text on the computer, frowned after a few glances, and turned to Glenn, "You still plan to report like this?"

Glenn was taken aback and asked, "Didn't you say we want to downplay the news of Derby County's victory?"

"idiot!"

Brand said angrily, "Even if we want to downplay the news of Derby County's victory, we must also consider the feelings of readers! Today we have received more than a dozen complaint calls, saying that we reported Derby County with a discriminatory color!"

"If you continue to report like this, the number of complaint calls tomorrow is estimated to reach 100, and even I will be questioned by then!"

"You're an idiot! You can't even do that!"

Brand reprimanded angrily.
