255. Familiar recipes, unfamiliar flavors
Generally speaking, the mood after returning to training is good. Wen Sheng feels that this person really cannot pay too much attention to his work sometimes. He is too tired and it will kill him. Only by relaxing appropriately can he work better.
The players were in good spirits, so after the first day of training, Wen Sheng suggested that he invite everyone to have a dinner.
Everyone cheered. Wen Sheng has not invited everyone to dinner this season. As the head coach, he does not participate in normal team dinners.
Wen Sheng has the habitual thinking of Chinese people. Dining together can connect people emotionally. He actually wants to have such gatherings often, but the problem is that he is worried that the players will be uncomfortable. After all, he now feels that he has authority.
The next game will be held ten days later, that is, on April 3, so Wen Sheng did not abstain from drinking at night and got drunk himself.
"Brothers! To be honest..." Wen Sheng swallowed the alcohol with a red face, "I am very satisfied with you! This is...completely sincere! Originally this season, I thought that if we could avoid relegation, we would have completed the task, but who
To think that we could compete for fourth place now!"
"Guys! Work hard! We will be in the Champions League next season!"
"None of you have been there?!"
Wen Sheng is really confused. Onyewu and Taylor have been there.
As the saying goes, telling the truth while drunk, Wen Sheng's drunken words stirred up everyone's thoughts.
These young people are all very motivated. Who wouldn’t want to participate in the Champions League? That’s the Champions League!
Afterwards, everyone happily looked forward to the future.
After dinner, Wen Sheng called his uncle Wayne to pick him up as usual.
When we met, Wayne joked, "I'm almost going to be your personal driver! Can't you just take a taxi?!"
"Doesn't it cost money to take a taxi?!" Wen Sheng answered Wayne seriously.
"I should have known you were stingy!" Wayne gritted his teeth, remembering Wen Sheng's displeasure with Carlton over the 5,000 pounds!
Joey's drinking capacity was better than that of Wen Sheng. He protected Wen Sheng in the car and asked his father to lead the way.
"Qiao, have you thought about today?! Did you think about today last year?!" Wen Sheng asked with his eyes closed. He was a little proud and happy now.
"Of course not! I never thought that one day I would be the head coach!" Joey really never thought that he would have such an experience. Of course, he agreed reluctantly at first, and Wen Sheng forced him to come, but now
He has decided that he will take up this promising job!
After all, it’s much better than working in a supermarket!
"Ha!" Wen Sheng laughed, "I never thought about it! I never thought that I could lead a team to the Super League, and I even won the FA Cup! What should I do now?
He can be regarded as the meritorious head coach of Crystal Palace!"
"I'm sure of this!" Wen couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wen Sheng's sigh. He was clearly drunk and very proud. However, what his nephew said was true, so he also agreed.
He was waiting for Wen Sheng's next message, but there was no response for a long time.
I looked through the rearview mirror and saw, damn, both brothers were asleep.
….
At the beginning of April, the league war resumed. The day after April Fools' Day, Crystal Palace went to an away game to challenge London neighbor Fulham.
The situation of Mark Hughes' team is not very good. When Huo Taigong coached Fulham, the team was able to stabilize at the mid-table level and reached the Europa League final last season, but Mark Hughes did not have that fate.
, Fulham is not far away from the relegation zone now, they are only 2 points higher than the 18th-placed West Ham United.
There are not many games left, if we don’t work hard now, we will wait.
But it's a pity that what they are encountering now is Crystal Palace who are recharging their energy.
During the national team match day, the injured players from Crystal Palace returned one after another, and now all members are in good health. Only Onyewu, Klose and McCarthy who participated in the national team match are a little tired.
3:0, Crystal Palace, as predicted by the outside world, defeated its London neighbors without any suspense in the away game. The points reached 57 points, successfully surpassing Manchester City, chasing Chelsea, who were in excellent form, and entered the top four.
ranks.
"After experiencing a low period, Crystal Palace finally ushered in a wonderful schedule. After losing to Wolves, they have been unbeaten in 5 games in all competitions and won four games in a row! The points have also reached 57 points. It seems that they
Now we are sprinting towards the top four!" "The Daily Telegraph" wrote in the report.
"It is unfavorable for teams such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Tottenham to recruit their players on national team match days! However, Crystal Palace has been given sufficient time to rest. Now Crystal Palace is undoubtedly in a favorable position to compete for Champions League qualification!"
The Times wrote this in its report.
Not only these two media, but other media also clearly know that the more than ten days of national team match days have undoubtedly given Crystal Palace a big advantage.
Wen Sheng was also secretly having fun. What the media said was true. Crystal Palace had inadvertently taken advantage of it, and national team match days were indeed torturous.
But he won't say that his team has advantages in this regard.
After the Fulham game, faced with the superiority argument made by reporters, Wen Sheng retorted: "They have a thicker team lineup than us! They can cope with any difficulties!"
Crystal Palace will play Arsenal at home next weekend. Wenger, the old man, was jealous after this round of games and said that not many people from Crystal Palace participated in the national team competition. This is an advantage in the sprint stage of the league. Arsenal's game next weekend will not be easy!
He was clearly acting like a resentful woman, and Wen Sheng ignored it!
Who cares about him, let’s go to Kyiv first.
This is what should be done after defeating Fulham.
On paper, Dynamo Kyiv may be stronger than Braga. Manchester City encountered Waterloo with them. It is said that Manchester City has really been out of tune recently. They were eliminated by Dynamo from the Europa League and did not play well in the league.
Not good, the ranking plummeted and was surpassed by Crystal Palace and Chelsea.
Because we have to face Arsenal on the weekend, the goal for this Europa League match is the same as when we faced Braga. Just ask for a draw. After Arsenal, then Wigan, Newcastle, and the Europa League.
You can use your main force to consume the cup.
Dynamo Kyiv’s biggest card now is Shevchenko. After transferring from Milan to Chelsea, Shevchenko’s career path has also declined. Last season, he returned to Ukraine on a free transfer and played at Dynamo Kiev.
He performed well.
Before the game against Crystal Palace, the media also interviewed Shevchenko. Nuclear Warhead was a little surprised by the results achieved by Crystal Palace!
"I'm amazed at what Crystal Palace have achieved! They are a very good team!"
"I don't know Wen very well, but he is really talented. It's amazing that he can bring Crystal Palace to this stage!"
"I like De Bruyne very much! I also like Klose very much!"
Shevchenko praised Crystal Palace very much, but unfortunately he was injured temporarily before this game and did not appear in the game.
De Bruyne, whom he admired, did not appear, but Klose, whom he admired, did.
Familiar recipe but unfamiliar taste.
Wensheng almost adopted the same strategy as the away game against Braga, but the personnel were changed and it was not a complete rotation.
Without Shevchenko, Dynamo did not seem to be affected at home. The script that Wen Sheng expected did not appear. Dynamo had the upper hand and had more shooting opportunities than Crystal Palace in controlling the rate.
Facts have once again proven that players are very important.
However, Wensheng's strategic goal was achieved. Dynamo Kyiv had the advantage but failed to score, and was tied 0:0 by Crystal Palace in the away game.
The result was poor for both parties.
Chapter completed!
