316. This is not scientific
Crystal Palace made a substitution in the 67th minute. Wen Sheng replaced Mertens with Van Dijk. The team should play a 5-back formation. This was something they had thought of and practiced in the previous preparations.
Then he replaced Melo with Matic. Melo received a yellow card. Now Crystal Palace is facing a lot of pressure. What should he do if he is worried that Melowan will be hit again and again?!
After two substitutions, Crystal Palace's formation was adjusted to 541. In the center, De Bruyne and Larsson were nominally separated on the wings, but in fact, the focus was on helping the defense. Barcelona's midfielder is very creative and should not be taken lightly.
Of.
With Wen Sheng's substitution adjustment, Barcelona's offense has stagnated. Even though they are known as the Cosmos team, they still have a headache when facing different teams. Today, Crystal Palace's buses are better arranged, but their state is not the same.
Very good, Messi alone obviously can't do it.
After all, Crystal Palace is not Getafe, they are the Europa League champions.
As time passed by, Barcelona's attack showed signs of exhaustion.
"Barcelona has never been able to find a way to break into the Crystal Palace penalty area! Messi is obviously tired too, and his teammates have given him too little support!" Ian Wright commented in the commentary box.
What he said was a bit one-sided, and Martin Taylor didn't quite agree with it.
Messi is a human being, not a god. It is impossible for him to perform at a god-level in every game. In this game, Crystal Palace was obviously targeting him. Once Messi got the ball, several people immediately surrounded him. Their defensive duties were very clear.
There is nothing Messi can do.
Therefore, Messi's performance is not that particularly good, and today's Crystal Palace seems to need a more convincing performance from Messi.
Crystal Palace also began to take control, using various tricks to delay time. Of course, they were not too excessive, and Queipes did not express anything.
Barcelona players talk a lot.
In the 80th minute, Wen Sheng replaced Vardy with Klose.
Vardy is too tired. He said he scored two goals today, but he actually focused all his energy on defense. He kept running and running on the court, as if he was tireless.
But is there any better reward than scoring twice?!
No!
"Beware of arrogance and impetuosity! Today's shot was very good! You have to maintain this feeling in front of the goal!" Wen Sheng gave Vardy a hug.
"It's a pity that I couldn't complete the hat trick!" Vardy was still a little regretful, but his expression was very proud.
Wen Sheng wished he could kick him.
Vardy didn't get many chances. He completed three shots today and scored two.
"Stop being such a slut! If you can't finish 20 points this season, get out of here!"
There were obviously about ten minutes left before the game, but the Crystal Palace substitutes couldn't sit still on the bench anymore and stood up one after another to wait for the game to end.
The players were all talking about the game happily. Although they did not play, the sense of teamwork was deeply engraved in their minds. How could they not be happy?
Hao Junmin stood among his teammates, but he didn't speak. Firstly, his English was not very good, and secondly, he was still a little disappointed. In fact, he was not included in the 18-man roster in the two Premier League games, and he was not even qualified as a substitute.
None, but this Super Cup game surprised everyone. Hao Junmin was actually selected into the eighteen-man roster.
He himself didn't expect that Wen Sheng talked to him and said that he might need you to substitute as a right wing midfielder in the next game. What matters most is your awareness and ability to return to defense.
Chinese fans are also disappointed.
Reporters from the sports station have been discussing the possibility of Hao Junmin playing when commentating on the game.
"If Xiao Hao plays, he will definitely take Larson's place!"
They are right, but it is useless to say it right. Wen Sheng needs Klose to be able to get the ball in the frontcourt. His sprint speed is not as fast as Vardy, but his basic skills of making and controlling the ball are better than Vardy.
As soon as Klose came on, the three quotas were used up, and the commentators knew that Hao Junmin was completely out of the game.
"Damn it, without Hao Junmin, who the hell would have watched you defeat the Crystal Palace game!"
"This bird man is of Chinese descent and doesn't care about his fellow countrymen at all!"
Some domestic fans have high hopes for Chinese football. Hao Junmin couldn't play, and Lian Wensheng also hated him.
Of course, there are also fans who are sensible and leave messages on the forum.
"In any case, the head coach of Crystal Palace is also of Chinese descent. Not Hao Junmin, winning the Super Cup will bring glory to the Chinese!"
"Take a look, Crystal Palace will be heavily promoted in tomorrow's sports news!"
"I have been a Crystal Palace fan for 30 years. I support the head coach. It is right not to follow Hao Junmin."
Wen Sheng doesn't care about the reaction of domestic fans. He makes all substitutions with purpose. Mertens is still weak defensively, but he has been in Crystal Palace for more than a year and is familiar with the team's tactics and his own tactical arrangements.
, high recognition and active running.
But he was also tired, both wings were tired. Larsson could at least hold on, while Mertens simply let him off the field to rest because he needed to add more central defenders.
Wen Sheng's tactics were not adjusted in vain. Klose did play to his own advantages. Crystal Palace was able to dance in front of Barcelona. The passing and control was also quite smooth. Of course, Barcelona had one less player. The players could not attack for a long time and their mentality was exhausted.
, allowing the Crystal Palace Dance to succeed.
Later, there was no shortage of teams like Bayern Munich and Liverpool that beat Barcelona to defeat. But even if Xavi, the brains behind him, retired later, Barcelona still had a great advantage in possession of the ball. They relied on all the
It's speed and technology that win.
If Barcelona is now in full swing, it would be very difficult to see whether Bayern Munich can defeat Barcelona or whether Liverpool can come back at Anfield.
Therefore, this victory of Crystal Palace is really quite valuable. I dare not say it is because Barcelona’s defense was improvised and Alves applied for the ruby card early on.
Although Barcelona attacked again in stoppage time, the momentum was over. When Quippes' whistle sounded, Crystal Palace's 2:0 lead had not been changed.
"Since 2005, the English team has won the European Super Cup again! This is our glorious moment!" Ian Wright shouted in the commentary box.
"At the end of the game, last season's UEFA Cup champion Crystal Palace defeated the Champions League champion Barcelona with a convincing 2:0 and won the first championship of the new season! Congratulations to them!" Martin Taylor quickly announced the result of the game.
The Stade Louis II was filled with cheers. Many Crystal Palace fans could not believe the fact until the end of the game. Their team actually defeated Barcelona.
Parrish had one thought in his mind, "Isn't this so fucking unscientific?! This is so magical! Is Daniel really the Boy Wonder?!"
Everyone watched the game, but after the game, this result still made many people associate Wen Sheng with the nickname "Wonder Boy".
In fact, Wen Sheng's Crystal Palace didn't have much magic in the league last season. After all, it was a chaotic season. It was very doubtful whether Crystal Palace would be in the top four with the points it had in previous years, but Crystal Palace was really good in the Europa League.
It's a bit magical. None of the teams we met along the way were very strong. When we played against Kiev, they were even more mysterious. We were beaten for almost 200 minutes, but they finally advanced in the penalty shootout. Then they showed their performance against Porto in the final.
strength.
But you have to say that they were really lucky in the Europa League last season.
There were obviously no big-ticket signings this season, and people said they didn't do a very good job in transfers, but then they turned around and met Barcelona.
Barcelona is so desperate that they don’t even have a genuine central defender. Busquets, Sanchez and others have just recovered from injuries. The scene where Crystal Palace won is convincing, but it does not prevent many media people from thinking that Wen Sheng is a dog.
Chapter completed!
