For Parish, Wen Sheng said that the top priority is the FA Cup final and the play-off final. He agreed 120 times. After he came to power, he immediately booked a new hotel for Crystal Palace, which is only a short walk away from Wembley.

5 minutes away from the Holiday Inn, providing full logistical support to the team.

In addition, Parish also announced that if the team can win the FA Cup, he will give the team a large bonus, with a total amount of no less than 2 million pounds.

The bonus for the FA Cup final is not high, only 1 million pounds. Including the previous winning bonus, Crystal Palace's bonus income from the FA Cup this season is probably less than 2 million pounds. Parish directly took out 200 pounds.

Rewarding the team with 10,000 pounds shows that he is very interesting.

Parrish wanted to say that actually I don't want to do anything. Who wouldn't feel bad for 2 million in vain money? Besides, he is not one of the top rich people.

But he had to do it. First of all, the FA Cup is very important to Crystal Palace. In the past century, they have not won this long-standing and influential championship in England. If Parish can accomplish this during his term,

, this is an honor that belongs to Wen Sheng and the others, and it is also an honor that belongs to his boss.

Secondly, he wants to tell the team that he is a heroic person, treats his employees well, and hopes that their employees will be loyal to them. What he wants is the play-off final. The Sun has made a calculation before, the Champions League final is awesome enough.

But he may not be considered good in the Championship play-off final. According to their calculations, the winner of the Championship play-off final who successfully gets promoted will receive nearly 100 million pounds in profits in the future. This is the most expensive final in the world.

With the play-off final coming up, Parish didn't want Wen Sheng to leave a stingy impression on the players, and was worried that these people wouldn't work hard in the play-off.

It is true that if you want to buy victory with money, you may not be able to buy it, but when the reward plan came out, everyone in the Crystal Palace was grinning from ear to ear. Not to mention the others, the two people Wen Sheng brought in, Hawking and Joey, were laughing from ear to ear.

Their income is very low, even lower than that of Wen Shengdu. The 2 million winning bonus can be divided among them no matter what.

As for the players on the team, their incomes are not high. During Carlton’s tenure, they earned nothing. Wen Sheng once asked for a winning bonus, but Carlton ruthlessly rejected it. Fortunately, the players did not worry about money. The environment at that time

After all, Crystal Palace is headed in the direction of failure, and no one expects to get bonuses.

Now, because of the gap between one and the other, everyone is rejoicing. Wen Sheng's torture on them in the training ground is not a problem at all.

After attending the press conference with Wen Sheng, they went out. The two talked about the team's situation and talked about Parish's FA Cup hemorrhage. Derry asked Wen Sheng whether Wen Sheng applied for the bonus. He knew

Wen Sheng had applied for a bonus from Carlton before, but was rejected by Carlton.

"It's not me!" Wen Sheng shook his head with a smile. He was very satisfied that Parrish was able to take money generously. He really didn't care about money, but the players did. They are all a group of poor people.

"Steve did this very well!" He couldn't help but praise.

"I wonder how much money he will spend in the play-off final?! Why don't you ask?!" Deli touched his chin, and Wen Sheng felt like his saliva was about to drool.

"Damn it, why don't you ask it yourself?!" Wen Sheng scolded with a smile and pushed Deli hard.

Derry, Lawrence, and Speroni, these three old players are the team's anchors. How could Parish ignore them? After taking the stage, he personally invited the three of them to dinner and talk about relationships.

Wen Sheng knew that Deli was not as close to his boss as he was, but he could still speak well.

…

After checking into the Holiday Inn the next day, Wen Sheng gathered the entire team to review the tactics again.

The media had a headache for Wen Sheng, and it was hard for people to figure out what he was thinking.

After Crystal Palace took over from Wen Sheng, the first foothold was defense. The offense relied entirely on the individual. It is normal for a pie-eating striker like Vardy not to score. People only saw him wasting opportunities, but they did not know that he did not get any opportunities.

, it’s just a wasted opportunity that shouldn’t be wasted.

Later, Crystal Palace's defensive counterattack tactics slowly took shape, and counterattacks began to have real routines, and the tacit understanding between the players increased a lot.

Later, Crystal Palace could also play positional warfare, but the offensive quality was poor. Until they faced Nottingham Forest, Wen Sheng used a completely different tactic and defeated Nottingham Forest by a big score.

Not long after, it is really difficult for people to figure out whether Wen Sheng will use fierce high-position pressure or set up a bus.

Many media now believe that Wen Sheng will adopt a high-position pressing strategy, because Portsmouth is also bad enough.

In fact, Wen Sheng wants to say whether you have ever thought about it. This is the final. Portsmouth must not be regarded as Portsmouth in the league, and Crystal Palace cannot equate its opponent with Nottingham Forest.

Of course, there are some commentators who think that Wen Sheng, despite his youth, is actually conservative at heart. In such an important game, he will definitely be more cautious and unlikely to use high pressure, which will weaken their defense.

It is not wise to expose yourself to your opponent's attacks.

This guess is reliable. Wen Sheng admitted that the main tone of the game is still defensive counterattack, but it is not entirely the case.

Wen Sheng's strategy in this game will be a combination of counterattack and high press. The main tone of the game is defensive counterattack, but at certain times, the team will adopt high press tactics.

The team does not have a good midfield commander and cannot control the rhythm of the game well. Wen Sheng also expressed his helplessness. The tactical awareness of young players needs to be cultivated slowly, especially since the team has so many young players, including Val.

Di, Kanter and others still have a lot to improve in terms of tactical awareness.

Take the outstanding Kanter, for example. He has very good defensive awareness and good steals, but when the ball is at his feet, he lacks organizational awareness and his vision is not so broad. To put it simply, his mind is just pretending.

Half the court, not the whole court.

No one could grasp the rhythm well, so Wen Sheng simply arranged the tactical changes at the time node, relying on tactical changes to create a sense of rhythm in the game.

Mourinho is very good at one thing. He is very good at catching the loopholes in the opponent's offensive and defensive transitions. Of course, many coaches are studying this topic.

Wen Sheng was deeply influenced by this idea and had a special preference and obsession with the rhythm of the game. He believed that rhythm was an important way to disrupt the opponent's offensive and defensive transition system. He has also been trying to inject rhythm into the team's games.

From the current point of view, the team personnel are not very satisfied with his requirements, and the team's game rhythm control is never what he expected.

That's why he came up with the idea to simply designate a time period, make a gesture to change tactics, change the rhythm of the game, plan the opponent's tactical arrangements, and create scoring opportunities.

Players want to fully understand the coach's arrangements, but not everyone can do it. Player intelligence is a reality.

Therefore, Wen Sheng's requirements for them are also very simple. Anyway, just listen to my tactical arrangements. If you don't understand, you can slowly understand. Everyone has a booklet and thinks about it carefully.

That night, everyone also watched the 2010 UEFA Champions League final. Mourinho led Inter Milan to win the Triple Crown. Wen Sheng was extremely jealous.

Mourinho is indeed still awesome, Wen Sheng has to accept it.

"If I can win the cup one day, then I will definitely pretend to be like this!" Looking at Mourinho's cool appearance on the sidelines after the game, Wen Sheng couldn't help but think about it.

Sunday, the 23rd. The sky was a little dark and it looked like it was going to rain, but the weather forecast said there would be no rain today, so it was suitable for outdoor sports.

According to the habit of previous semi-finals, Wen Sheng did not lead the team for training, but simply ran in the morning. After breakfast, the players could chat, play games, relax in the hotel, take a nap at noon, and set off from the hotel at 2 o'clock.

Heading to Wembley.
