Of course Wen Sheng would not be satisfied with just one point. Martin Taylor basically said Wen Sheng was right. He just wants to wait now.

"Patience, stay patient!" Wen Sheng encouraged his players in the locker room.

"We had a full week off, but they didn't, and in the second half they specified that they couldn't maintain this intensity for how long!"

In addition to asking the players to maintain the necessary patience, Wen Sheng will also make adjustments in the second half. If they follow the shrinking method in the first half, Chelsea's physical energy consumption is not very large. How can they consume more physical energy and run faster?

chant!

In the first half, Wen Sheng was thinking about whether he should move his formation forward and advance the midfield interception position. This was a risk, but Wen Sheng himself was ready to make a move. First of all, zero shots in the first half definitely made the players feel uncomfortable.

, everyone doesn’t want to score one point but three points. Such a stubborn defense makes it impossible to see the future. Secondly, he thinks that by impacting the opponent and actively changing the rhythm, Chelsea may be caught off guard.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wen Sheng finally decided during the halftime break to play against Chelsea at the beginning of the second half. You all guessed that I am conservative, but I am not!

As the saying goes, attack the enemy unprepared!

After the fifteen-minute break, players from both sides returned to the court.

It happened that the two coaches met again at the entrance of the tunnel.

"Well done on defense, Daniel!" Ancelotti said with a smile.

"Finally I didn't let you score a goal!"

"I said you are more conservative than our Italian coach. You are very strong and you don't deserve to be like this!" Ancelotti joked at Wen Sheng.

"Okay, Carlo! I relied on this tactic to defeat you three times, and it will definitely work this time!" Wen Sheng said in a stern tone.

Ancelotti shook his head helplessly.

His tactical arrangement during the halftime break was also very helpless. Today he used Zhirkov and Ramirez on the two wings. Neither of them is good at breakthroughs. They mainly play both offense and defense, and lack variables in the frontcourt.

He has already considered that if his team still cannot attack in the second half, then he will let Malouda play.

But he did not expect that Crystal Palace would suddenly start to exert force in the second half, move forward significantly, and start to attack his own team.

Chelsea players are really not used to the sudden changes in Crystal Palace.

In the 47th minute, Stroman stole the ball in the midfield and launched a long pass. Vardy succeeded in countering offside, broke into the penalty area, dunked past David Luiz on the left side, and fired a low shot into the near corner, which was blocked by Cech.

go out.

"Wow!" The fans in the stadium let out a huge cry of regret. This goal is such a pity.

Wen Sheng also stretched his goose neck to see, but the result was that he didn't score!

Of course, this opportunity is indeed good, but after all, Vardy received the ball from the side, not in the front direction. When he entered the penalty area and tried to shoot, the two Chelsea center backs who ran straight back to defend were already in place, giving him

Created certain problems.

Vardy held his head in regret and gave Stroman a thumbs up as he turned around and passed him a long pass.

Wen Sheng is also satisfied with the performance of youngster Stroman. He will be 20 years old soon. The boy has made good progress. Today he took Kanter's place on the court. Under the reminder of captain Derry, he still did a good job in defense.

Not bad, he was one of the contributors to Crystal Palace's draw in the first half.

Crystal Palace finally broke through the zero shot with Vardy's shot.

Ancelotti then yelled something on the court, to the effect that he had to pay attention to defense.

The offensive battle between the two sides began without warning.

Wen Sheng takes the initiative to seek changes and gamble. If you want to attack, it is inevitable that the defense line will be subject to greater threats. Of course, offense can also bring pressure to the opponent.

What is being tested now is everyone's defensive level and speed of returning to defense.

In contrast, Chelsea's methods are more three-dimensional.

They have Drogba and the fast Torres, who can directly play the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt for counterattacks. However, Crystal Palace has no high points and can only rely on anti-offside or ground cooperation.

In the 50th minute, Chelsea responded with a long pass from David Luiz to Drogba. Drogba held up Benatia and passed the ball to Torres. Torres tried to pass the ball directly without stopping and used speed.

When McCarthy passed by, who knew that McCarthy seemed to have figured out his intention, fell to the ground accurately, and strangled Torres' single sword.

This ball is quite dangerous. Once Torres really gets past McCarthy, no one can catch up.

"Well done!" Wen Sheng mentally gave McCarthy a thumbs up. This interception was crucial.

David Luiz's long pass is also good. This player Wen Sheng has memories, but he still doesn't know much about his technical characteristics.

During this winter break, Chelsea spent a lot of money. David Luiz was transferred from Benfica during this winter break to strengthen Chelsea's defense. It cost Chelsea 30 million euros, which is not a small amount of money.

Judging from this game, Wen Sheng has not yet seen whether the 30 million is worth it.

Haha, this Crystal Palace game has not tested Chelsea's defense until now. Of course, he still can't see whether Luiz is worth it.

Chelsea's running ability is very strong, and Crystal Palace's side is even better. They are still young people after all, and they have had a week of rest, so the offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides change very quickly.

The fans at the scene cheered very much, and there were bursts of exclamations in the stadium.

These exclamations were probably in recognition of the defenses of both sides. Everyone defended well and the players often performed well.

Let’s just talk about Drogba. In this game, he was playing against his younger brother Benatia. Sometimes he would win, but most of the time he was at the bottom. Benatia is really not afraid of such physical confrontation.

He really has some experience defending Drogba and can jump very high.

His fierce performance will definitely be loved by Crystal Palace fans, and every time he performs excellent defense, he will arouse cheers from the fans.

As time went by, both Drogba and Torres felt a little uncomfortable!

Drogba's age is such that he should stop fighting against the young Benatia for so long.

Torres played the entire game against Manchester United. He was particularly satisfied with this game. He had full range of motion on the left, center and right. How could he not be tired?

Chelsea's defense was also quite uncomfortable. Crystal Palace's players were shorter and more flexible, and their midfield passing was also tricky, which caused them to keep running. Although Crystal Palace didn't score, it also consumed a lot of physical energy.

Less than a minute after Chelsea replaced Torres, in the 72nd minute, Crystal Palace finally broke the deadlock and it was De Bruyne who scored.

De Bruyne launched an attack from the center and passed the ball to Zaha. Zaha's continuous changes of direction made Ashley Cole, who was in declining physical condition, completely unable to keep up and actually slipped on the court.

Cole's hands are also pretty bad. He didn't forget to pull Zaha's long johns when he fell to the ground.

Zaha struggled hard, cut inside, and swept towards the goal. There was chaos in the penalty area. The ball was cleared. De Bruyne followed up and shot a blast. Even Cech could not save it now.

Crystal Palace, playing at home, took the lead.

De Bruyne happily ran to the sidelines to celebrate with the fans!

"Ding Ding, we have a kid from Belgium named Ding Ding, he is our favorite..." the fans sang a song written for De Bruyne.

Wen Sheng celebrated happily by flying into the air, he was right again, the tactical gamble was successful!

Ancelotti was helpless. How can I say that he conceded the goal? There was some luck and some accidents, but the team's physical decline was the main factor that caused the goal. Ashley Cole can't blame him. He was also tired enough.

The field also appeared.

When the physical strength is low, the body's reaction will be very direct. It is normal for him to be shaken off when meeting the young Zaha.

"This bastard is probably waiting for this opportunity!"

Only then did Ancelotti realize why Wen Sheng made an uncharacteristic change that was not in line with his character, and started to fight with his team at the beginning of the second half.
Chapter completed!
