Generally speaking, Wen Sheng was generally satisfied with the first half. The team's control and defense were good, but the offense was not good enough. De Bruyne's poor condition almost affected the team's performance.

In terms of offensive quality, Zaha was also beaten to death by Evra. Mertens was in good form, and Klose's goal came from Mertens' assist.

As soon as Walton's whistle ended, Wen Sheng and the others walked to the locker room. As they walked, Lawrence asked, "Should we replace Jamie in the second half?!"

Replacing Vardy is also a good idea.

Vardy is more conducive to counterattacks.

De Bruyne's condition is not good enough, mainly because he had problems with the series breakthrough on the court today. The team needs him to break through the series and disrupt the opponent's defensive system.

It is also a good idea to replace Vardy and adopt a defensive counterattack routine, hold on to your own defense, let De Bruyne retreat and hit the back of Manchester United's defense.

What Lawrence meant was whether to change tactics. After all, Matic is not Delhi and is not experienced enough.

"Wait a minute and then we'll talk!" Wen Sheng still didn't want to replace Klose as soon as possible. Klose had almost no highlights in the first half, but the goal was really beautiful. Klose's sense of smell in front of the goal was really unspeakable.

, what if Klose encounters such an opportunity again in the second half, it would not be a big loss to replace him.

"We can let them warm up first. When the time comes in the second half, we will definitely have to make changes!" Wen Sheng said.

Lawrence nodded.

The players returned to the locker room and Wen Sheng praised everyone's performance.

"But our offense is not good enough, there are not many opportunities!"

In the first half, Crystal Palace completed 8 shots and Manchester United completed 5. However, everyone's shooting opportunities were not good, and the goals were a bit unexpected.

"Everyone should run more aggressively in the second half. Dries, Will, you two should get as close to the side as possible and tear apart their defense!"

Wen Sheng used a pen to draw a schematic diagram on the tactical board while explaining to everyone what needs to be paid attention to in the second half.

After Wen Sheng finished speaking, the players should drink water and rest. Somehow everyone ended up discussing Scholes' goal.

"Scholes' long-range shot is so awesome!"

"We have to keep an eye on him in the second half. This guy feels really good shooting!"

"That's that guy's unique skill!"

It could be heard that although Scholes scored a goal and the score was equalized, everyone still admired the goal.

"His goal shouldn't have existed in the first place, damn, he should have been punished for shoveling Ding Ding from behind!" Hills commented, his tone was not filled with indignation, but just stating a fact.

"right!"

"right!"

Hills' statement was unanimously recognized by everyone. Even those who admired Scholes' goals said that Scholes should have been off the field.

Then everyone discussed the refereeing issue and believed that Walton was obviously biased towards the visiting team Manchester United.

After Wen Sheng and the coaching staff discussed the details of the second half, they happened to hear everyone criticizing Walton.

"Hey, hey, hey! Guys! It's okay to discuss damn Walton! But please don't play football with emotions!"

"It takes courage to punish Scholes so early. Walton is old!" Wen Sheng joked with a wink.

Everyone laughed, and Speroni said, "The main opponent is Sir Alex Ferguson!"

These words made everyone laugh again. There was nothing they could do. Ferguson was a gangster. No one said it publicly, but in private many players from the team would make fun of him.

…

Ferguson didn't know that the Crystal Palace players were teasing him. He was about to make a substitution and replace Gibson with Ryan Giggs.

Gibson has more than enough bravery but lacks skills. If Giggs is replaced, Ferguson's idea is to fight for control with Crystal Palace. Gibson is young and inexperienced and it is okay for him to run away, but it will not work if he is asked to assist Scholes in organizing.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly and everyone returned to the court.

Wen Sheng discovered that Manchester United had made a substitution, and Gibson was replaced by veteran Giggs. Scholes had clearly stated that he would retire this season, but Giggs, known as Wang Laoji, had no plans to retire yet, but after that

During the Ferguson era, he had gradually moved from the wing to the center. Now Ferguson rarely lets Giggs go to the wing.

When he was young, Giggs was like a sports car, racing all the way on the side roads. As he gets older, he is like a classic car. It will definitely not work if he wants to play like he did when he was young.

The two teams were still cautious. Manchester United did not adopt high-pressing tactics. After playing for a while, Wen Sheng saw clearly what Ferguson was trying to achieve and fought for control of the ball.

I have to say that Manchester United did a good job in controlling Giggs, and they were more comfortable in positional warfare. Ferguson did not expect that the effect was so ideal. Manchester United put more pressure on Crystal Palace. Although Brother Xiaosha was not willing to run away

He is as mobile as a mountain, but his technical characteristics are still useful in positional battles.

In the 51st minute, he took the ball with his back in the penalty area, stopped the ball and passed by in one go, and played a cruel trick on Van Dijk. Fortunately, Speroni reacted quickly and fell to the ground to block the shot.

Substitute someone!

Wen Sheng finally made up his mind and recalled Vardy who was warming up.

"Later, after you come on the field, run to Smalling's side and try to avoid Vidic. Do you understand? We have to defend and counterattack, and you have to stand next to Smalling!"

In the 55th minute, Crystal Palace made substitution adjustments, and Vardy replaced veteran Klose.

Klose came off the field, and Wen Sheng gave him a big hug, "Mino, we need to change our tactics now! I'm sorry, it's a bit too early to replace you!"

Generally speaking, when a head coach is replaced, there is no need to explain the players who are off the field, but Wen Sheng did this because he did not want Klose to be unhappy.

"I understand, boss! There's no problem with that!" Klose smiled and comforted Wen Sheng.

Klose's dismissal marked the beginning of Crystal Palace's obscene defensive counterattack tactics.

The midfield and backcourt were fully recovered, and Ferguson secretly cursed for being shameless.

Fighting positional warfare and attacking a bus are completely different things.

During the positional battle, Crystal Palace at least wants to compete for the ball in the midfield position. There will be space in the backcourt, and Manchester United can pose a threat in the positional battle. As for the attacking bus, it is different. Crystal Palace completely recovers and hoards personnel.

On the outside of the penalty area, the defensive density increased, and they expected Manchester United's proactive offensive mistakes rather than proactive steals.

Manchester United's attack is naturally more difficult.

After changing their tactics, Manchester United were not polite. I'll attack if you want. Ferguson has never been a conservative coach. On the contrary, he advocates offense and will never waste money just because Crystal Palace has a bus.

Manchester United is not good at penetration. What they are good at is breaking out points from the wing. Even if they attack the bus, their playing style is very simple. They blast from the wing, cross the ball, and hit the wall in the middle to grab two points.

It's a pity that after Crystal Palace recovered it, it protected the defense very well and controlled the two points well. Manchester United's tricks were not enough.

In the 62nd minute, Crystal Palace got a chance to counterattack. De Bruyne made a long pass from the backcourt to find Vardy. Vardy was definitely not tall and had no advantage in front of Smalling. However, this time, Smalling did not fight for the top.

Pass Vardy.

Vardy responded. After Mertens got the ball, he moved towards the center. Smalling tried to knock Mertens down. Unexpectedly, Mertens waited for an opportunity to pass the ball. Vardy entered the penalty area and blasted the ball directly on the left without stopping.

shoot.

Vidic's replacement was not untimely, but Vardy was too fast and shot decisively. The shot path was between Van der Sar and Vidic, heading towards the far corner.

This foot is impeccable, with good power and angles. Van der Sar was stunned that he couldn't block it.

"Fake! Fake!" Wen Sheng cursed excitedly and launched another set of combination punches.
Chapter completed!
