180. Mancini half-slow
"Will Mancini change formation?!" This question has been lingering in Wen Sheng's mind. Manchester City's disadvantages on the field are too obvious. The offense is not working well and the defense is also tortured. They need to play in the midfield.
With great control, Crystal Palace's frontcourt offense has always been very fast-paced, with three or five kicks coming towards your penalty area, asking you if you are afraid.
Barry and De Jong were distracted by the two wingers on both sides, and Stroman occasionally sent through balls in the middle.
In Wen Sheng's view, changing formations is the only way out for Mancini. He has no way out. If it is still a double midfielder, no matter whether Yaya Toure is there or who comes, they will still suffer in the state of Crystal Palace today.
, Wen Sheng has this confidence.
Wen Sheng was a little unsure, and Lawrence said: "What the hell, the kids are in good shape today. They change formations as soon as they change formations. Are we afraid of them? He changes back and forth and is always a 4-back, and he can't play in the middle of the three."
Just be the defender!"
Wen Sheng thought about it and didn't think much about it. In the final analysis, it still depends on the players' on-the-spot state. At least for now, it seems that his players are better.
"The offense should be more direct and bold, and don't pass too many passes back! Pass the ball forward when it's time to go forward!" Wen Sheng encouraged everyone. Crystal Palace played well in the first half and had a good advantage, but they lost the advantage.
Too many transitions into shots, back passes, and passes in the backcourt.
The number of shots on goal was only 8. In the first half, their ball possession rate was as high as 60%. To complete 8 shots under such a control rate was completely inconsistent with Wen Sheng's intentions. In the final analysis, it was Wen Sheng's conservative thinking that poisoned him.
Deep, making many players a bit conservative.
Wen Sheng therefore had to make them braver at midfield "Just like Will did!"
In addition, Wen Sheng also adjusted De Bruyne's position. He asked Stroman to take on part of the organizational transition tasks, and moved De Bruyne's position further to the side, more like a winger like Zaha.
After the halftime break, when they returned to the court, neither side made any substitutions, and Mancini did not change his formation.
Mancini may be hoping that his players or stars will get better.
You must know that even the value of their current lineup is high, and their net worth is quite high. Even though the value of this group of young players from Crystal Palace has risen a lot recently, they cannot compare to them. It is far behind.
But the situation did not get better, but got a little worse. Less than five minutes into the second half, Zaha and Hills made a wonderful match on the left wing. After cutting inside, the shot was blocked by Kompany. Stroman started
In the second attack, Vardy passed the ball to the left. Vardy succeeded in countering offside. Without anyone marking him, he headed the ball into the gate guarded by Hart.
Selhurst Park immediately erupted in cheers and shouts again.
"Super move!" Wen Sheng gave Vardy a thumbs up.
The Manchester City players complained that Vardy was suspected of being offside, but the linesman did not raise his hand. To be honest, Wen Sheng didn't know whether he was offside or not, but there is definitely nothing to say about Vardy's movement. As for Stroman, who passed the ball, this kid
His timing and vision are both commendable.
After scoring twice, Vardy did not cry this time. He slid to his knees in the corner kick area and enjoyed the cheers of the home fans.
Parrish, Browett and the others were happy in the stands. Some time ago, the outside world criticized Wen Sheng for losing his halo. When he only scored 9 points in 7 rounds, they firmly supported Wen Sheng. In fact, they had never
My trust in Wen Sheng has not been shaken.
They are all fans of Crystal Palace, and Wen Sheng led Crystal Palace to achieve a breakthrough of zero FA Cup championships. That is a hero, which will also make them emotionally biased. After all, the current situation of Crystal Palace is not ridiculously bad, even if it is only 9 points
, but it’s not in the relegation zone either.
Today they felt as if Wen Sheng had repaid their trust, leading the team to beat Manchester City so hard that they couldn't hold their head high.
In one word, it’s cool!
Five minutes after Crystal Palace scored, Mancini finally made two substitutions. Adebayor was replaced by David Silva, and Richards replaced Boateng.
Boateng failed to prevent Zaha's inward cut in the second half, which was the reason why they conceded the second goal.
He was replaced by Richards, who was faster and more experienced. Zaha really pissed off Mancini, and he had to find someone to deal with Zaha.
Replacing Adebayor with David Silva is not an obvious change of formation. It will be replaced by 4231, tit for tat with Crystal Palace.
Wen Sheng looked at Mancini with "disdain". He felt that Mancini made too many mistakes in this game.
The formation of Crystal Palace is no secret at all. From last season to this season, Wen Sheng always used 433, sometimes 4231, sometimes 4141, basically three players in the middle position.
Doesn’t Mancini know?! He is just too confident that his double midfielder is awesome!
Who does Crystal Palace rely on to organize? Even the media has articles analyzing Crystal Palace's tactics, but Mancini did not study it!
On the spot, the team is not functioning well and I don’t know what to do?! Substitutions and formation changes are not timely!
If it were me, I would have known it was time to change the formation in the first half.
After "despising" Mancini, Wen Sheng began to observe the game seriously. The biggest difference between him and other coaches is that he is from a later generation. The more famous players are, the more he knows their habits of playing.
Tevez is really good. These years have been the times when Tevez has been so good, so Kante is specially asked to block him and pester him.
David Silva is on the field, Manchester City has also changed their formation, and he must also make changes.
Wen Sheng called Hills to the sidelines and began to convey instructions to him.
"Let N'Golo go with Silva and let Mahdi go with Tevez. In short, we can't let them get the ball comfortably!"
Manchester City's football lacks integrity. This is the conclusion reached by Wen Sheng's research. They often rely on the aura of their stars. Tevez has scored 6 goals on the scorer list, cutting him off from David Shee.
The connection between the two is crucial.
With Adebayor off, Milner and Adam Johnson were just showing off on the wing. Could they continue to pass?! Exploiting weaknesses and avoiding strengths?!
Wen Sheng didn't believe it anyway and walked around, but they still had to walk on the ground and pass to the middle to make a fuss.
At this time, it seemed that the game between the two sides had really started. The two sides were coming and going, and the play was very lively. However, Wen Sheng really guessed the opponent. They rarely made crosses, and always tried to pass the ball to the center for Silva to dispatch.
.
Silva has not yet transformed at this time. He is a breakthrough attacking midfielder. Kanter is not familiar with him. He was fooled once or twice when he first came on the field, allowing Silva to successfully break through and find a gap to pass the ball.
, Milner formed a threatening shot, but later it was not easy for Silva to pass Kanter alone.
He can only find teammates to cooperate.
Crystal Palace had two goals in hand, and Wen Sheng was naturally not willing to fight head-on with his opponents. He took the initiative to give up the ball, retracted the formation, waited for them to attack, and counterattacked on his own.
Mancini changed the formation early enough, but the man opposite him started out as a coach. Once the iron barrel formation is set up, it is of little use for Silva to link up.
After replacing Adebayor, Mancini is now eager to have Adebayor on the court. His performance is indeed terrible, but at least he is at a high point in the Crystal Palace penalty area.
No matter how capable Tevez is, he is so tall that fighting for the top is not his strong point unless enough space is created for him.
The desperate Manchester City conceded another goal in the 76th minute. The goal was scored by Scannell, who had just replaced him. This kid scored for the first time in the new season. In the quick counterattack, Scannell lived up to Vardy's pass.
He went to the meeting alone and played extremely easily.
3:0 completely killed the game and also sapped the spirit of Manchester City. Mancini replaced Dzeko again, this hard attack rhythm.
Wen Sheng simply replaced Kante with Matic, and also put a lot of experts in the backcourt to defend to the end.
Chapter completed!
