The team training officially started the next day, and it was an open training session. Many fans poured into the Beckenham training base to watch the first team's intensive training. Wen Sheng also promoted several players from the youth team to join.

The team formed a large team of more than 30 people.

Summer training is completely different from daily training. For daily training, Crystal Palace usually trains once a day, but summer training trains twice a day, and in Austria it trains three times a day.

The situation this year is much better than last year. The main reason is that the coaching staff is relatively more powerful. Everyone is familiar with the training, and Wen Sheng saves a lot of things, but keeping an eye on the sidelines is a must.

In the afternoon, Eddie Howe brought the Bournemouth coaching staff to the Crystal Palace training base for on-site observation.

Eddie Howe is really capable, and his results as a team leader are very good. Last season they competed in the English League One as a newly promoted team, and as a result, they achieved the sixth position in the league that season. Unfortunately, they were promoted to the Championship in the play-offs.

They drew with Huddersfield in two rounds, lost to the opponent in a penalty shootout, and missed the Championship this season.

But even so, Eddie Howe is already quite good. He skipped a level in one year, and Wen Sheng knew that he would soon lead Bournemouth to the Premier League.

Wen Sheng sincerely admired his friend's achievements.

"Who am I to be your idol?! You are more like my idol!" Eddie Hao did not dare to pretend to be an idol in front of Wen Sheng. He felt that Wen Sheng was a talented coach and he was awesome.

Wen Sheng blushed a little. To be honest, if he hadn't relied on his memory to buy Mavericks, the Crystal Palace wouldn't be what it would be like.

Of course, he thinks he still has the ability. When he first took over the Crystal Palace, the Mavericks and Klein had a place in the first team of the Crystal Palace team. He did not rely on the Mavericks and relied on a set of defensive counterattacks to achieve a huge feat.

, that’s really awesome.

Eddie Howe is different. They are already weak, and the owner of Bournemouth is not particularly rich. He is about the same as Parish. Eddie Howe does not have a golden finger to lead Bournemouth to skip relegations.

Really impressive.

After exchanging joking compliments, Eddie Howe asked what would open his eyes about Crystal Palace in the new season.

Wen Sheng smiled and immediately spoke of his plan without concealing it.

"We are not freshmen in the new season. Other teams will definitely deal with us like thieves! What path do you think we can take?!"

"Relying on defensive counterattacks will definitely not work! So in the new season we will definitely have to diversify our offensive methods and devote more energy to offense!"

How could Eddie Howe and Wen Sheng not know the difficulties and situation of the Crystal Palace? He nodded and agreed with Wen Sheng's statement.

"I am going to play a high pressing tactic in the new season, but I am not a Barcelona-style high press!"

Barcelona's high-pressure approach uses control as a means of forcing the opponent to defend, and always keeping the initiative of the ball at their feet.

What Wen Sheng needs to learn from is Uncle Zha. He runs wildly in the frontcourt, presses the full-backs, passes the ball quickly and boldly, and moves flexibly. He plays with speed, not blind control, and does not advocate the absolute advantage of the ball.

.

Without the ball, the team defends in three lines, one is the forward's high press, the second line is composed of Kante and two full-backs, and the third line is Melo and two central defenders.

In short, the style of play seems radical, but if the full-back can keep up, it can support this style of play. Wen Sheng thinks that Hills is fine. It mainly depends on the right back. Why did he choose Maggio because of Maggio's speed?

He is also fast, has good defensive awareness, and is good at passing the ball offensively. He will not be like Johnson who attacks and is not easy to recover.

"Our forward players are not slow. The most important thing now is to increase their tacit understanding, flexibly change positions, and form a good tacit understanding in pressing. The effect will be ideal!"

Eddie Howe nodded. Wen Sheng's tactics might work for Crystal Palace, but it wouldn't work for other teams.

"Then how do you position Klose?!" He asked Wen Sheng a key question.

"On the one hand, Mino can adapt to such tactics, and on the other hand, he can be a variable. His ability to get the ball with his back is pretty good, and his team awareness is relatively strong. Last season, his cooperation with Ding Ding on the central axis was great.

Quite good. On the other hand, Jamie and Dedingding are not as good as him! When Mino comes on, we don’t have to press high, but he has a sense of smell and can seize opportunities! He is a useful addition to our tactics!"

Wen Sheng is telling the truth. After all, Klose has survived in the Bundesliga and the World Cup. Now he is older, but he has not lost his ability to hold the ball with his back, nor has he lost his ball-playing ability!

Vardy's ability to hold the ball with his back needs to be improved, but his ball-making ability is not as good as De Bruyne's. His basic skills are a bit poor. De Bruyne might hit a wall with him, and the ball will never come back.

The chance of success is greater with Klose, not to mention Klose knows the timing of passing and has vision.

Klose's tactical status is declining. He knows this. Wen Sheng has also communicated with him. What can he do?! He can only accept it.

Klose joined the team during the winter break last season. Klose did not expect that he would perform very well. He was quite satisfied with himself. He knew the credit for Wensheng's tactical positioning behind this, so even if the new season's tactics

With his status declining, he also believed that Wen Sheng should be able to show his strength.

His biggest goal now is to maintain a good state at Crystal Palace and participate in the 2012 European Cup. As for the 2014 World Cup, he is also thinking about it. A head coach who is willing to communicate with him and give himself time is very important. Wen

Victory meets his requirements.

Eddie Howe is actually a radical coach. He is not the same type of coach as Wen Sheng. He advocates offense. When coaching Bournemouth, he always emphasized the fight for the ball in the frontcourt, while Wen Sheng has always been

He was labeled as a conservative Italian-style England coach.

Eddie Howe knew that his friend was a chameleon. Seeing Wen Sheng achieve excellent results by relying on chameleon tactics, Eddie Howe was also examining whether he should make some changes at the right time. Against Huddersfield

The competition was a pain in his heart. Would it be better if he were more conservative?

He told Wen Sheng what he was thinking.

"There is no difference between good and bad tactics! People have been criticizing English football's high-playing tactics. I have also criticized Pulis, but he was successful! He at least helped Stoke City to avoid relegation.

!”

"You feel a little regretful now, but that doesn't necessarily make it more correct for you to adopt a conservative strategy! Your team has been adhering to one tactical style of play for a long time, and a rash change will be counterproductive!"

"When we played against Wolves last season, I was short of full-backs, and then I changed to three defenders. As a result, you know that I was severely humiliated by Wolves, so I think it is really not a good idea to change the formation or tactics rashly.

Idea, the result will probably be unsatisfactory!"

Eddie Howe was relieved and then joked about Crystal Palace's masterpiece when they faced Nottingham Forest in the Championship play-offs. In that game, Crystal Palace uncharacteristically adopted a high-pressure approach and pressed across the board, catching the opponent off guard and winning the first leg with a big score.

"At that time, I just wanted to win by surprise. You also know that being a head coach sometimes requires taking risks, and sometimes you have to consider the opponent's situation! At that time, they must have thought they had seen through me! Hehe, I didn't! I wanted to surprise them, Nottingham

The Forest couldn't control the backcourt well and couldn't withstand the crazy rush. After two goals, their morale almost collapsed! That's our home court!"
Chapter completed!
