243. Lost to Wolves
The first elimination round of the Europa League came to an end, and the draw came. Crystal Palace drew the Portuguese team Braga. This team is not considered a strong team in the Portuguese Super League, but its results have been relatively erratic in recent years, and sometimes it can
It has hit the top three positions, but sometimes it can only linger in the middle.
The first round of the game won't start until March 10th. Wen Sheng can't think too much about it yet. When watching the draw, Wen Sheng already made it clear to his brother Joey that he must collect the opponent's information as soon as possible to understand them.
Technical and tactical play, personnel injuries, personnel characteristics, etc.
In fact, Wen Sheng does not need to explain these things deliberately, Joey will naturally work hard to do it well. His brother Joey said that he is a related person, but there is nothing to say about his work. It is very good to lead the intelligence team to engage in intelligence work.
The team made a great contribution.
The reason why Crystal Palace's performance this season is relatively good, at least it can be called a dark horse, is largely because Wen Sheng has established a scientific coaching team.
Especially in terms of data collection and analysis, they do better than many teams and can find corresponding strategies for every game and are targeted.
After the home game against Sparta Prague, Joey suggested to Wen Sheng that three central defenders are currently unfeasible. Data analysis shows that with three central defenders, the team's defense is more threatened. Wen Sheng listened to this opinion.
, not only did they know Wen Sheng, but they also knew that this matter could not be rushed.
However, the three central defenders can still be practiced well. Conte was very good at 343 at Chelsea. He can also give it a try here, given the conditions.
Both Hills and Klein have outstanding running abilities, but their offense has not been fully utilized this season. Mainly, Wen Sheng still attaches great importance to defense in his tactics, otherwise these two little guys can open up the offense.
Improving their position will help bring out their offensive capabilities.
However, the requirements for the center back are greater, and the center backs on both wings need to have excellent running ability.
What's more, playing 343 means more control and pressure. What Wen Sheng dislikes the most is ineffective control and pressure in the frontcourt. He is happy to control the backcourt, but he thinks it is easier to bring danger to his team by controlling the frontcourt.
, so De Bruyne’s all-around attacking midfielder usage is actually two ways.
One is that De Bruyne will retreat when facing strong opponents, similar to the role of a central midfielder. The team will place the wingers parallel to the opponent's central defender and use De Bruyne's long passes to beat them.
Behind him, because the opponent is not afraid to press out the formation.
At the same time, De Bruyne is used to help control and guide the backcourt.
The second is when facing a weaker opponent, De Bruyne's position is the real attacking midfielder position, with less recovery. When attacking, he stays in the opponent's hinterland, allowing him to break through, organize the attack, and pass the ball quickly.
Cut and break the opponent's defensive system.
This is a matter of philosophy. After all, he and Guardiola are not the same, but rather similar to Mourinho.
….
In the 28th round of the league, the team visited Wolves. Before the game, reporters teased whether Wen Sheng was going to experiment with three central defenders. Apparently they believed that the half-time experiment in the Europa League was a failure.
"I think we can still give it a try!" Facing the reporter's teasing, Wen Sheng smiled and responded to everyone easily.
Wolves are currently in a more dangerous situation. They currently only have 25 points, which is the same as West Ham United, ranking second from last. The relegation situation is very serious. Crystal Palace has not been in very good form recently, with three draws and only one win.
After defeating Tottenham, and it was still a small victory by one goal, experts believe that Crystal Palace has shown its fatigue.
Lineker said on the BBC program, "It seems that their lineup is too thin. In fact, although they did a good job in recruiting last summer, Daniel Wen's reconstruction work at Crystal Palace was fruitful, even
It can be said that it is amazing, but they have just been upgraded and faced two competitions in Europe and China. To get to this point, they have almost tried their best!"
"They should have made good use of the transfer window in the winter window, but they only brought in Klose and let go of Boateng. This is obviously not enough! I think the near future is very critical for them. It may be difficult for them to survive.
live!"
Lineker's statement is very objective and almost represents the views of most professionals.
Even Wright was worried and called Wen Sheng to inquire about the team's situation.
Wen Sheng asked Wright, "Ian, I just want to ask you, has the team's relegation mission been completed so far?!"
Only then did Wright suddenly realize that relegation was Crystal Palace's first goal in the first season, and anything else was just a cloud.
The team's key players have been affected by injuries recently. The team's young players do have a future, but we can't pin our hopes on them now. It's useless for Wen Sheng to adjust tactics?!
The current team's offensive and defensive balance, what tactics will be adjusted to become more inclined to attack?!
Wen Sheng doesn't dare to take risks, he is not a casual person at heart.
So in fact, now he has put forward the goal of top four, but like Lao Lei, he still places his hope on the players. It is best for young players to take the lead. If he cannot take the lead, he has nothing to do and can only wait for experience.
Accumulate slowly and prepare for the next year.
At this moment, Wen Sheng can quite understand Mourinho's sorrow at Manchester United. He did bring in a lot of people, but some damn people just can't take the lead. What can you do? Just stare.
That’s all.
"It is foreseeable that this game will definitely not be an easy one. They are in a critical period now and we also need points, but we are ready!" Wen Sheng expressed his position to the outside world.
"It is unlikely that the team will rotate on a large scale. The players are indeed very tired now, but we need to persevere!"
"Now I don't think about the Europa League. That was in March. The most important thing now is to think about the league. I hope we can get enough points. Striving for the top four is still our goal!"
When Wen Sheng talked about the top four goal, he didn't necessarily have high expectations in his heart. He just wanted to put pressure on the young people on the team. During this period, the young people need to work hard and be promising.
As an opponent, McCarthy is having a more difficult time this season. The Wolves team itself is not very good. Last season, it was just barely able to avoid relegation. In the first season of promotion, it still barely achieved the goal of relegation. This season, the Wolves
The net investment in the summer window transfer market was more than 10 million pounds, which is considerable. However, McCarthy did not complete his job very well, as evidenced by his team's current ranking second to last.
Now is the time to catch up. There are still ten rounds left in the league. If they don't work hard, they may be among the relegation spots.
McCarthy's current relegation situation is just a bit bad, but the situation within the team is actually not bad. They also have stronger determination in the home game against Crystal Palace.
The result of this game was 3:0. The home team Wolves defeated the visiting Crystal Palace at their home court.
"The score does not reflect the real situation. Our performance was not that bad!" Wen Sheng was a little disappointed with the result of the game.
Not only was he disappointed, the players were also disappointed.
"Their ability to seize opportunities is so strong!" Captain Speroni felt a little unbelievable about conceding the goal.
The Wolves' scoring methods are all set-pieces. McCarthy actually didn't dare to attack aggressively in this home game. They ran more than Crystal Palace, but they really didn't create many opportunities.
Scoring a goal really tests a bit of luck.
"We should have done a better job defending set pieces!" De Bruyne was angry.
During this period, Wen Sheng has strengthened his training in this area. De Bruyne is not blaming the head coach, but blaming his teammates for their inability to do their best.
Whether he can make friends in the team like this, Wen Sheng doesn't know, but the whole team should know De Bruyne's character.
Chapter completed!
