After Mark Hughes left, Fulham immediately signed former Tottenham head coach Martin Jol. The most indispensable thing in football these days is a head coach, and there is also no shortage of good players. As the saying goes, horses with a thousand miles of horses often come, but horses with a thousand miles of horses do not.

have.

No matter how awesome you are, it's all in vain if you don't have a chance.

For example, in a big country like China, don’t the Chinese have talented players? Of course not. The real reason is that they haven’t even played football. How can they say they don’t have talent?!

The same is true for coaches. Even if you are a coach and no one appreciates you, you are still in vain.

Neville, Mark Hughes and other Ferguson's disciples started out in top league teams, but Eddie Howe could only play in League Two and League One. Could it be said that the two of them have better coaching ability than Eddie Howe?! That's a matter of opinion.

A wise man sees wisdom.

Martin Jol has a rich leadership resume, and he was considered a good player when he led Tottenham. Fulham has long wanted to poach him, and Mark Hughes cannot be said to be a transitional product.

Martin Jol has been in the Premier League for so long and is much more cautious than Steve Keane. When Martin Jol's team came to Selhurst Park, they also played extremely cautiously and lowered their profile.

Crystal Palace has been unable to break the deadlock, and Wen Sheng is also anxious. The training ground and the game are two different things, and the game against Blackburn and the game against Fulham are two different things. The same tactics may not necessarily achieve results.

The first half was a 0:0 deadlock. Wen Sheng criticized the players for their insufficient ability to create variables. Playing football is not a matter of just playing as a team. He gave the frontcourt a lot of freedom and his movement was very flexible, but everyone

Wen Sheng just focused on passing the ball and neglected personal breakthroughs. Wen Sheng felt that this was not possible.

In fact, his mad dog style has already told the players that the degree of freedom is very high, and the players can give full play to their imagination and personal abilities, so that the opponent cannot grasp the core.

To put it simply, I don’t know who to restrict.

However, he can also understand that players have to slowly adjust to the requirements and adjust psychologically.

The important thing this season is the defensive discipline without the ball. The offensive discipline with the ball is completely open in the frontcourt. The players can run around and kick. When it is important, they have a tacit understanding. This kind of tacit understanding contains routines and culture.

Sheng often gives guidance in training, for example, when De Bruyne has the ball, how should the forward run, and when the forward has the ball, how should De Bruyne and Kante run.

Following Wen Sheng's instructions, Crystal Palace immediately changed its appearance in the second half and played vigorously. Fulham began to make mistakes, and Crystal Palace quickly seized the opportunity. Vardy and Kante scored twice in the 54th and 75th minutes respectively.

After that, the team relaxed a bit and Fulham also got several good opportunities, but they failed to seize them. The team finally defeated the visiting Fulham 2:0 at home.

Martin Jol has some understanding. He feels that he should be more proactive. In this game, Crystal Palace's offensive and defensive rhythm is very fast, and the style is more tough and sharp. There are actually problems on the defensive end. Fulham is much better than Blackburn, at least

Can create some shooting opportunities.

Martin Jol feels that if his ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal is better, maybe it is still unclear who will win.

Wen Sheng didn't know what Joel was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely wake up laughing in his dreams. He was afraid that Martin Joel would be conservative.

Today, Crystal Palace completed 18 shots in the entire game. Where did these shooting opportunities come from?! Isn’t it because Fulham’s defense is not good enough?!

If Fulham had really taken the initiative, Crystal Palace would not have had more opportunities.

After playing this game, Wen Sheng's confidence increased several points.

Many teams in the Premier League are similar to Fulham. They may choose a more conservative strategy when facing strong teams. However, the coach is also an art and not everyone can show it off. Therefore, many people are self-aware and will not behave like ordinary people.

Leith defends with strong attack and plays high, so Crystal Palace may not have to worry about the opponent's defensive problems and can just relax.

After two rounds, Crystal Palace still occupies the top position with 6 points, but there is no point difference between them.

The performance of the Manchester City duo is also strong enough. They have the same points as Crystal Palace in consecutive games. In the next round, Crystal Palace will have to hand over the top spot. Due to the Super Cup, Crystal Palace's game against Villa was postponed. The top spot

We have to leave it to the Manchester City duo to fight for it.

As for Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool, they all only scored four points, and their start was not as smooth as Crystal Palace's.

After playing Fulham, Crystal Palace began to concentrate on preparing for the Super Cup battle with Barcelona.

The Super Cup actually seems like a useless thing, but in the eyes of Crystal Palace fans, this game is of great importance and everyone is extremely enthusiastic. Many fans come to the training base every day to cheer for the team.

For Wen Sheng, it doesn't matter whether he wins the championship or not, but regardless of whether he can win the championship in the end, he must prepare seriously. The opponent is Barcelona. Barcelona, ​​which is at its peak, is of great practical value.

Against a super strong team like Barcelona, ​​what the team should do is think about how to win, rather than insisting on its own style. A chameleon like Wen Sheng naturally understands this.

If you play against Barcelona, ​​you will definitely think that your life is too long!

No team in La Liga will play ball control with Barcelona. You can't play with them. Even a team as strong as Real Madrid doesn't play like that. Mourinho thinks that Real Madrid has a lot of good players, but he ends up playing against others.

It was a disappointing defeat, but once he went back to his old ways, Barcelona couldn't get any advantage from him in terms of record.

Therefore, Wen Sheng's goal is also very clear. Mu Shi Daba can play with Wen Shi Daba.

His biggest concern is that the players don't understand.

So during the training, he also gave a speech to the players and gave examples to let everyone understand that playing with the opponent by controlling the ball and attacking each other is an act of seeking death. The bus is the safest and most reliable way.

"Our goal is to win the game and win the championship! Style is not the most important, the championship is the most important!"

The players were not opposed to the bus tactic. After all, they were having a great time playing the game. Wen Sheng's explanation was not redundant. Everyone felt the head coach's respect for the players.

Playing the bus is completely different from the current tactics. No matter whether with the ball or without the ball, special emphasis is placed on discipline, and the awareness of returning to defense is relatively high. Mkhitaryan obviously has other opinions. Wen Sheng saw him returning to defense and did not

Wen Sheng reminded him several times that he was not active, but he didn't change much.

Wen Sheng is also quite helpless. This is not necessarily a matter of Mkhitaryan's unwillingness, but that habits are difficult to change. Where did he develop such a habit when he was at Shakhtar Donetsk? He was playing on the court.

When playing, he forgets to return to defense, always thinking that his teammates can do it, and that he can help the team in the frontcourt to counterattack quickly.

On the other hand, Mertens was different the other time. He was short and not strong enough. But it was not the first day that he, Hills, and Kante played together. Everyone had a good tacit understanding. After a year of training, it was not the same.

, Mertens' awareness of returning to defense has improved, although he may not necessarily do it very well.

Wen Sheng is determined to play Larsson in the Super Cup. Larsson is a frontcourt player, but has played as a full-back for a long time. His defensive awareness is definitely better than Mhita. The most important thing against a team like Barcelona is

Defense requires the efforts of all players. Larson's offense aside, his defense is at least better than Mkhitaryan's.

For the past week, Crystal Palace has been training intensively at the Beckenham training base. Public training sessions have been canceled and are not open to the media. We can only get some information from the players and coaches who walked out of the gate after training.

It is definitely not a secret to set up a bus. Wen Sheng’s semi-closed training method is not mainly worried about tactical leaks, but worried about outside interference to the team’s training.

Therefore, after the training, facing the fans and reporters who were lucky enough to defend him, Wen Sheng did not shy away from talking about the tactics against Barcelona.
