Crystal Palace travel north to take on Blackburn Rovers at the weekend.

Blackburn has played 29 rounds and accumulated 32 points, ranking 15th in the league. It seems to be in good condition. However, not only is the competition for the top four in the Premier League this season extremely fierce, even the competition for relegation is also very fierce. Now ranked at the bottom

Wigan has accumulated 27 points and is only five points behind Blackburn. Therefore, with 9 rounds of the league remaining, Blackburn's relegation situation is still very serious.

Blackburn's head coach Steve Keane saw Crystal Palace making major rotations on a stage like the Europa League, and he knew that his life was not going to be easy.

But they actually brought home a victory in the Europa League, which left Steve Keane speechless and didn't even have a chance to ridicule Wen Sheng before the game.

Steve Keane thinks very realistically. We don’t have to be embarrassed at our home court. After all, our opponents are well prepared. It’s good for him to get a point against Crystal Palace.

Who knew that the more they held this mentality, Crystal Palace seemed to have taken medicine and was in excellent condition. Vardy scored, De Bruyne scored, Mertens scored, and even Klose who came on as a substitute

A goal was scored.

Crystal Palace actually defeated Blackburn Rovers with a score of 5:0 in the away game.

This score made Wen Sheng a little confused, but of course he was also very happy. This was the largest goal difference he had created since he coached Crystal Palace, and the team kept a clean sheet.

"I never imagined a score like this! This score surprised me! They didn't look bad at all!"

Wen Sheng is a kind person and defended Steve Keane in the post-match interview.

"The prospect of relegation?! I think Steve must have a way. He just needs some time. There are still 8 rounds in the league and nothing has been finalized yet!"

When Steve Keane and Wen Sheng were drinking after the game, Steve Keane expressed his gratitude to Wen Sheng. Wen Sheng said: "We are all engaged in this industry. Who doesn't know how difficult it is?!"

….

According to Wen Sheng's original plan, Wen Sheng will continue to rotate against Braga at home on March 17, but after the victory over Blackburn, Lawrence seriously talked to Wen Sheng about the Europa League.

"Daniel, I know your thoughts very well! I don't have any opinion on your decision, I just want to point out the fact that the fans definitely expect us to advance, and even the players definitely expect the team to advance!"

"If you deal with this game with the same lineup again, I'm sure everyone will be disappointed!"

"Disappointed?! Why disappointed?! We won the last round!" Wen Sheng was quite stubborn.

"You need to show your determination! The fans don't want you to treat them differently! Do you understand what I mean?!" Lawrence emphasized.

Wen Sheng rubbed his temples.

He understood what Lawrence meant. To the effect, he knew that Wen Sheng felt that winning the Europa League was like a lottery, so he lowered the importance of the Europa League in his mind. But what he meant was that most fans did not recognize this.

The players will not approve of this approach.

It's the national team match day soon. Everyone has a chance to rest. If you send out a full substitute lineup, a blind person will know your attitude.

If it is promoted, it is easy to say, but if it is not promoted, at least it will not be well received among the fans!

Lawrence is reminding Wen Sheng that he needs to show his ambition and give a positive signal to the outside world, and not to discredit himself in front of the fans.

This makes sense.

"Okay! Now we have entered the top 16. To be honest, even if I don't pay attention to it, I still have to take it seriously! I did say that winning the championship depends on luck, but now, okay, let's try hard!

But my premise is still the league! We need to compete for fourth place!"

Seeing that Lawrence had convinced Wen Sheng, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was only doing it for Wen Sheng's good. Sometimes posture is very important. This is like a star who has made a great contribution to the team.

But if you say you don't care about the team all the time, can the fans like you?!

If Wen Sheng doesn't show his determination, the fans will think that he is messing up. Why don't he work hard to reach the Europa League after a long time?!

The fans' ideas are different from those of the club's top management.

The fans want to win every championship, but the club's top management will weigh it, and the head coach Wen Sheng also has to weigh it.

The fans are really awesome and they should be taken good care of.

Accepting Lawrence's suggestion, Wen Sheng ultimately did not completely rotate in the game on the night of the 17th. De Bruyne and other key players remained on the court, and Klose continued to be the starter.

Braga had no way out in this game. Dominguez originally planned to defend first on the road and then go strong in the second half. However, their goal was broken by Crystal Palace not long after the start of the first half. Youngster Van Dijk's corner kick tactics

The header broke the opponent's goal.

The occurrence of this situation caused Domingos to have to exert his strength in advance. There was no other way. After falling behind by two goals, they were forced to a dead end.

In this case, Braga did cause some trouble to Crystal Palace for a certain period of time, but they missed several good opportunities.

In the second half, Wen Sheng adjusted his tactics and required the team to pay more attention to control. It is impossible for Crystal Palace to play the same control as Barcelona, ​​but the level is still good. Wen Sheng has always focused on short pass control.

Braga's condition is not very good. Their players are mentally affected by the two-goal deficit and are sometimes a little impetuous.

According to Wen Sheng's requirements, Crystal Palace did not pursue goals aggressively and played very calmly.

They don't really look like a Premier League team, but they can win.

The final result of this game was 1:0. Crystal Palace defeated Braga 2:0 in two rounds and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

The faces of the Crystal Palace fans were filled with happy smiles, and some fans were already clamoring for the championship.

Parish is of course happy to be promoted, but as he is now the owner of the club, he obviously pays more attention to greater economic benefits in the future. The goal of top four is still the focus.

After the game, he called Wen Sheng and said tactfully that in fact, we had already taken the lead in the away game in the first round, and there was no need to tire out the main players at home this time.

He had never interfered with Wen Sheng's selection and employment, but this time he just made a statement, which immediately caused Wen Sheng's displeasure.

This tendency must be suppressed, otherwise he will really be in charge of his own employment in the future.

"Steve, it's my responsibility to employ and arrange people!" Wen Sheng responded forcefully.

"No, Daniel! You misunderstood! What I meant..." Parrish wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.

At the end of this unpleasant phone call, Parrish was also very unhappy. He felt that Wen Sheng was a bit stiff. After all, we are all old friends. This is within your scope of authority, but I just suggested it casually. There is no need.

After all, we are still friends!

Parrish told General Manager Morelli his experience, but Morelli put in good words for Wen Sheng.

"Steve, Daniel's reaction is not surprising at all! As a head coach, who wants his boss to interfere with his employment?!"

"I know you said it very tactfully. It was a suggestion, but it may not be a suggestion in their ears! He is probably worried that if things go on like this, you will give him more and more instructions, so he is trying to be tougher now to persuade you.

Just don’t try to interfere with him!”

"Daniel did a really good job! You don't need to be angry about such things, he understands our thoughts and he will try his best!"

"If you think about it, there are really not many head coaches like Daniel who are capable, don't make trouble, and are willing to put the club's interests first!"

"The team's performance is now so good, why are you dissatisfied?"

"Be considerate and considerate! This is the key!"
