251. Small win away
Klose, reliable and easy to use!
Wen Sheng had already planned to rely on Klose for this game, whether it worked or not, so he didn't let Klose play against Chelsea.
Klose was in a good mood before he didn't know the starting lineup, but when Hawking announced the starting lineup for the game against Braga, it was simply impossible for Klose to say he was depressed.
Looking at this starting lineup, isn’t this a clear sign of giving up on the Europa League?!
Oh, you give up the Europa League and then let me hang out in this game. Am I one of those young people?!
Full of annoyance, Klose approached Wen Sheng.
Wen Sheng actually likes it when Klose troubles him directly. This is good. If there is anything, he can talk to him face to face.
Klose expressed his dissatisfaction outspokenly.
Wen Sheng comforted him in surprise, "Mino, how could you tell that I don't pay attention to the Europa League?!"
Klose is the first player to express his dissatisfaction so openly.
He poured water for Klose and looked at the seats to let Klose calm down.
He said to Klose: "Now you also know our situation. We must work hard to win the top four spots in the league. This means that we can participate in the Champions League next season, and the club's economic interests can be greatly improved.
, not to mention don’t you want to go to the Champions League to experience it?!”
"But this does not mean that I attach importance to the Europa League. I also want to advance and I also want to win the championship. Isn't winning the Europa League a more worthy honor for me as a head coach than the top four?!"
"But after weighing it up, what is in the club's interest now is to put the fight for the fourth place first. We must go all out to get the top four spots!"
"The reason why I arranged for you to play in this game is that I hope that you, a veteran, can lead this group of young people to do something. Otherwise, if I let you play in the league and let Jamie play in the Europa League, he can
What does it bring to the team?!"
I have to say that the glib one is talking about a head coach like Wen Sheng.
When I say this, it means that I think you are very important and the leader of the team, so I let you start in this game.
Of course Klose was moved, he didn't expect the boss to take such painstaking efforts.
I am extremely satisfied with Wen Sheng's explanation.
And he really helped the team score a goal.
After Braga lost the ball, they were a little confused and spent a long time impulsively. It became increasingly difficult for them to control the ball and they played too hastily.
Crystal Palace became more and more calm, controlled the ball, and tried to avoid losing the ball.
Wen Sheng must give praise to Matic today. The young man was able to faithfully execute his tactical intentions in the defensive midfield position. He controlled and protected the ball very much like Henry the Great. The opponent was stunned and had nothing to do with him.
In the next ten minutes or so, Braga made substitutions and adjustments before restarting the offensive, but they ultimately failed to equalize the score at their home court.
In this way, Crystal Palace actually won a victory in the away game and scored a valuable away goal.
After the game, Wen Sheng highly praised the players on the court.
"We just had a tough game a few days ago and the players were tired, but I'm happy with the result. We performed well and it's not easy to go home with a win from here.
I’m proud of everyone!”
In order to accumulate strength, Wen Sheng only changed three players in the last few minutes of the game to delay the opponent's attack rhythm.
Wen Sheng's bizarre four-centre-back formation also became the focus after the game.
Wen Sheng told reporters honestly, "We have no full-backs! Johnson was injured in training after the last game. It will take about a week. He could have played, but Klein has already played a lot and is tired. He is a little tired!"
We still have a lot of games to play, so I have to play McCarthy and Morgan at full back!"
"They also played that position in training, and I think they performed well in this game!"
The reporter asked Wen Sheng if he would consider using the center back as a full back in subsequent games. Wen Sheng affirmed: "They are all willing to contribute to the team. If necessary, I will do so!"
In an interview after the game, McCarthy also talked about his feelings about being a left back. McCarthy said: "If the boss has arrangements, I will continue to play this position! There is nothing wrong with it! The important thing is that I hope I can
Contribute to the team!”
Klose, the hero of the goal, praised Wen Sheng's tactical arrangements, "I think we fulfilled the coach's arrangements before the game. This is very important. We won a victory that was not easy!"
A small victory of 1 goal gave Crystal Palace an advantage in promotion, but Wen Sheng did not dare to say that he really had an advantage. If there is no accident, there is a high probability that the next round of the game at home will be dominated by substitutes. If
It's not that Speroni's goalkeeping job isn't very physically demanding, maybe Wen Sheng might have to replace Taylor.
Since the early exit from the FA Cup and League Cup, Taylor has never gotten playing time. Fortunately, he has been mentally prepared to be the custodian of the water fountain, otherwise he would have fallen out long ago.
Although the game was tiring, everyone had to leave in time in the evening.
There was a league game on the weekend, but there was no time for everyone to relax and stay here. Fortunately, a victory dispelled everyone's fatigue, and the plane was filled with laughter.
…
Wen Sheng got home and received a congratulatory call from Cheryl. She said that Wen Sheng's head was full of fantastic ideas, and he had even set up a formation with four central defenders. She had never seen it before.
Wen Sheng secretly laughed, wait three more days, on March 13th, the Red Devils Manchester United will face the Gunners Arsenal, Sir Alex Ferguson will put up 7 defenders to face Arsenal, and then your jaws will be even more shocked.
How could such a plot be revealed in advance?!
Wen Sheng said modestly: "When it comes to playing four central defenders, I am also forced to use them. I have no full-backs to use! There are many central defenders, so they can only use them!"
It was really forced.
Sir Alex Ferguson was also forced. In order to cope with the Champions League match against Marseille, Ferguson deployed 7 defenders. Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson had more than two, more forwards and more defenders, but the midfield was not very full, so he
It was so funny, but fortunately, it worked well in the end, beating Arsenal. Now they are ranked in the top two in the standings, and they are a serious competitor. Ferguson won that game.
Because of Ferguson's strange formation, Wen Sheng was deeply impressed by it.
But at this moment, he hopes that he can have a little butterfly effect and change the outcome of this game. It would be great if they draw, which would be good news for the following teams.
After all, Wen Sheng’s expectations did not come true. His arrival in this world did not change the world much. In the end, the Red Devils won the battle with the Gunners, and Ferguson’s strange formation was praised.
It's just that Wen Sheng's formation of four central defenders allowed Wen Sheng to take the lead. The English media praised Wen Sheng's bad feet for two days.
Wen Sheng thinks they are just looking for excuses. In fact, the functions of the four central defenders, Morgan and McCarthy on the left and right, are not much different from those of Klein and Hills.
The difference is that their mobility is not that strong, and their focus is more on defense. This is also the reason why Wen Sheng emphasizes positional warfare in offense. They cannot keep up if it is too fast. As for Klein and Hills,
They are fast, can move up and down, and have good physical fitness. They can support the frontcourt and can pass the ball.
In the game against Braga, you can count, the number of passes and crosses made by McCarthy and Morgan were much lower than the usual levels of Klein and Hills.
