Wen Sheng felt that Ancelotti's kick of 442 was a stupid move. However, after the game started, Wen Sheng discovered that it was not a stupid move.

If other teams play two forwards, such as Manchester United or Tottenham, and have a center who is not good at running, it will undoubtedly be difficult to control the backcourt of Crystal Palace, but this is not the case with Chelsea.

Needless to say, Torres needs to score goals now.

Torres said in an interview before the game that he was looking forward to breaking the ball drought against Crystal Palace: "I came to Chelsea to score goals. This is the shooter's job, so I hope to score my first goal in the team as soon as possible.

I believe this will be one of my many goals for the Blues. I feel like I have integrated into the team very well, and I felt great against Manchester United, so I am excitedly waiting for the first goal, hopefully.

The ball will come against Crystal Palace."

Ancelotti also encouraged Torres at the pre-match press conference, saying that Torres was "born to score goals."

Torres scored a goal against Crystal Palace, and it was a stunning goal.

Now he has a bit of a back at Chelsea and has great expectations for this game.

As for Drogba, it goes without saying that, as the media said, Chelsea suffered defeats against Crystal Palace three times in a row, and now it is the fourth time. There is no need to doubt their determination to fight.

Torres is fast, Drogba is experienced, and Chelsea play host to the visitors and actively move their formation forward, making it difficult for Crystal Palace to play the ball in the backcourt.

In the 2nd minute, Chelsea completed a steal in the frontcourt, launched a fast break, and Torres almost scored.

Torres's luck was a bit unfavorable. Drogba's play gave him a near-single chance, but McCarthy fell to the ground in time, which made Torres' shot hesitate for half a second. As a result, the ball slowed down on McCarthy's leg, allowing Spero to

Ni was able to take the ball calmly.

Wen Sheng was a little impatient. It had only been two minutes, and he was already doubting whether his team could do the old trick of luring the enemy deeper.

Ten minutes passed, and Chelsea completed four shots, including long-range shots and corner kicks. They had many methods, but they had not yet scored.

Wen Sheng knew that this thing was not going to work. He couldn't control the backcourt. He could only wait until Chelsea's physical fitness declined. Now he had to defend firmly.

He quickly called on his players to recycle, decisively changed tactics, defended and counterattacked, and gave up the ball.

Ancelotti put his hands in his trouser pockets, chewing gum in his mouth, and looked at the situation on the court with a serious expression.

In fact, he attaches great importance to the quality of the game in the first ten minutes. What he expects is that Chelsea should be able to score a goal within ten minutes. Otherwise, he knows that Daniel is not a fool and will definitely not conduct too much in the backcourt and will definitely let the ball pass.

Quan, switch to defensive counterattack.

This is the last thing Ancelotti wants to see.

In the previous three games against Crystal Palace, Chelsea were defeated by Wen Sheng's defensive counterattack routine.

There is no way. Crystal Palace's famous stunt is that they counterattack very quickly, which is very troublesome to deal with.

The result disappointed him. Within ten minutes, Chelsea did get a chance, but failed to score. Crystal Palace's subsequent response also let him know that this game would be difficult again.

These ten minutes also allowed Ancelotti to see the progress of the Crystal Palace team under Wen Sheng. They have improved a lot compared to the first round. They have improved in terms of ball control and the players' personal abilities have also been greatly improved.

.

Crystal Palace failed to complete even one shot within ten minutes, which really disappointed the fans at the scene.

The team's results this season made everyone feel a little elated. They originally thought that Wen Sheng would lead Crystal Palace into a fierce battle with Chelsea in this game, but it turned out that it didn't work in ten minutes.

Of course, they couldn't see that Crystal Palace had intentionally given up the ball. What they saw was that Chelsea started to attack Crystal Palace.

Parish and the other management were also watching the game closely from the stands. No one said anything. They all had their hearts in their mouths, worried that Chelsea would score a goal if they were not careful.

Wen Sheng is also a little nervous. As the head coach, he can only determine the team's tactical policy. The specific effect depends on the performance of the players on the court. As a genuine Chinese, he has received a materialist education. But at this moment, Wen Sheng has already

I secretly thought that I could only do three things. I had defeated Chelsea three times, and I was afraid that I would lose today.

The Crystal Palace players were more reliable than their coaches and reminded each other that Derry showed his captaincy, ferocious steals, iron-blooded fouls, and commanding defense, which helped the Crystal Palace players stabilize their minds and stabilize the team's position in a short period of time.

The defensive system is gradually being established.

Wen Sheng could already see that everyone's overall movement was maintained well, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Chelsea had no choice but to attack. To be honest, let alone Ancelotti, this group of Chelsea players did not want to touch Crystal Palace. They played too rogue, just like when they played against Barcelona. They set up a bus to defend and counterattack. Chelsea does not have Barcelona.

With that kind of penetration ability, they can only make continuous crosses. The left wing guarded by Mark Johnson is the focus of their attack, but because Crystal Palace retreated across the board, the effect of their crosses was not very satisfactory.

They can only rely on the midfielder to constantly move left and right in circles, trying to mobilize Crystal Palace's defense and find hidden gaps.

One offense and one defense, Crystal Palace's defensive posture slowed down Chelsea's offensive rhythm. Sometimes they passed the ball from the wing, and sometimes they tried to cooperate from the center. In short, they received strong counterattacks from Crystal Palace.

Chelsea was actually in pretty good shape today, but Crystal Palace had to frequently resort to foul tactics, which caused a lot of interruptions on the court.

Ancelotti finally began to express his dissatisfaction, and Wen Sheng was also surprised, thinking that it was not a foul.

Everything still depends on Oliver's decision. The young referee faces a big test today. This game is the highlight of this round and involves the battle for the top four.

The first half actually came to an end quietly.

When Oliver blew the whistle, the score between the two sides was still 0:0.

Chelsea completed 9 shots in the first half, while Crystal Palace, sorry, didn't have a single shot.

It's not that Crystal Palace has no chance to counterattack. The main reason is that Chelsea's single defense ability is strong enough, and it can accurately cut off the flames of Crystal Palace's counterattacks several times, so that Crystal Palace had to return without success.

Under the guidance of Wen Sheng's basic defensive counterattack tactics, it is normal for Crystal Palace to not complete the shot.

But the fans at the scene couldn't accept it. At first glance, it seemed that the Crystal Palace players were not in good condition.

Martin Taylor, who was commentating on the spot, was chatting with his partner Andy Gray about the first half at midfield, but he believed that Crystal Palace undoubtedly adopted a very appropriate routine.

"Chelsea's frontcourt pressure is very effective, and they are very capable of handling the ball in the frontcourt and counterattacking quickly. It is not easy for Crystal Palace to control the backcourt! Daniel is a head coach who values ​​defense at heart, and he will definitely be in a game.

China puts defense first, so defensive counterattack has become a choice that fits Wensheng’s tactical characteristics very well!”

"I think it is wise to do this. In terms of attack, Chelsea is better at seizing opportunities. Crystal Palace is not very good at seizing opportunities. Their offensive quality in these games is not high!"

Andy Gray agreed, "They are not very good at long passing in the backcourt. It would be good if they could do this well! Daniel did not fully utilize his role as a winger today!"
Chapter completed!
