Mancini still remembers the happy conversation he and Wen Sheng had at Selhurst Park last season. Although the relationship between the two cannot be said to be good friends, they should at least be able to chat a few words when they meet!

Unexpectedly, just a few months later, the good guy Wen Sheng would fall out like this.

"Shameless bastard!" Mancini cursed secretly at home, vowing to give Wen Sheng a good look in the League Cup.

Mancini is not a fool, he knows that Wen Sheng is definitely playing psychological warfare, but he can't swallow this breath, not to mention, hum, it is not certain who will put whom on the fire.

The League Cup match is finally here.

The enthusiasm of Crystal Palace fans this season is even higher than last season. The League Cup is basically considered a tasteless game and it is mid-week, but the stadium is still full. Some noisy fans openly unfurled banners in the stadium.

He held up a sign and insulted Manchester City as a nouveau riche.

Fortunately, they didn't scold Mancini.

"You will never win the championship!" Charles and the others also held signs in their hands. Since they were not far behind the coaching bench, Wen Sheng could see it when he turned around.

"Have you seen Charles and the others?!" Wen Sheng asked Hawking on the coaching bench.

Hawking is also a frequent visitor to Paul's Bar. How could he not recognize Charles and his group?!

Looking back, he saw the sign held by Charles. He turned his head and couldn't help but laugh, "These guys seem to have forgotten Chelsea!"

When Abramovich took over Chelsea, he looked like a rich man. At that time, many fans used such slogans to laugh at them when playing against Chelsea. But haha, bang bang, after two seasons, Mourinho led

Chelsea succeeded in slapping some fans in the face.

Wen Sheng also said at the press conference that money can't buy a championship, but Hawking knew that Wen Sheng didn't say the last part, "You can't do it without money!".

With Chelsea in front of them, Hawking believes that Manchester City will win the championship sooner or later, and the momentum this season is very good.

"What are you afraid of? No one knows them anyway! I don't know who to slap in the face!" Wen Sheng said with a smile. He remembered that this season it seemed that Manchester City won the championship in a dramatic way. If they really followed the script of later generations, Charles and the others

His face will definitely be swollen.

"For you, I must win the championship!" Wen Sheng laughed to himself.

Mancini walked out of the tunnel with a sullen face. He originally didn't intend to shake hands with Wen Sheng, but as soon as Wen Sheng saw Mancini, he came over with a smile on his face, just like at the pre-match press conference.

As if the speaker was not him, he greeted Mancini warmly.

Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Mancini was completely convinced by the hypocrite in front of him and had no choice but to shake hands in response.

In front of the cameraman's lens, Wen Sheng smiled naturally and freely, while Mancini looked tense and unhappy. If this picture spreads, if Manchester City loses, Mancini will definitely be criticized by the English tabloids again.

attack.

Wen Sheng did not explain anything to the team. In this game, De Bruyne and Mertens were rotated, Mkhitaryan was arranged in the middle, and rising star Aubameyang started in the front line.

Te came back in this game, Wen Sheng gave him a winger position, and Hao Junmin was on the other side.

Just looking at the starting lineup, the fans felt a bit fooled anyway. Wen Mingsheng vowed that we would strive to defeat Manchester City, but this starting lineup was made up of substitutes and substitutes, and no main players were included.

Wen Sheng not only said at the press conference that we want to defeat Manchester City, but he also said this among the players. He also said in the locker room just now that our only goal today is to win.

Lawrence is right, it doesn't matter what choice you make, what matters is what you say.

Wen Sheng fully understood the essence. Who said that being on the bench is not just for victory?! The choice I made because of the tight schedule was not to give up the League Cup.

Mancini also rotates, but he has a big business, Wen Sheng doesn't have the ability to play 11 substitutes, Mancini does, and none of Manchester City's eleven players is the same as compared to the previous round of league games.

This starting lineup also includes Dzeko, Nasri, Adam Johnson and other good players. It is not easy to deal with them.

Wen Sheng's strategy is very simple, just defend and counterattack. Anyway, let's stick to the fence and be a grandson. There is no shame in counterattack, as long as we can kill the opponent.

Manchester City is not without weaknesses. For example, their central defender, Kolo Toure, is paired with Savic. Kolo Toure joined Manchester City from Arsenal and was originally the main force in the fight. However, as he got older, he suffered from injuries last season.

After suffering a serious injury, Mancini received less and less attention from him. Of course, his own condition was also very worrying.

As for Savage, a young player who is only 20 years old does not have as much experience as Van Dijk.

The two of them had been separated for a long time, and Wen Sheng believed that they would be the team's breakthrough, so soon after the game started, he told Aubameyang to stay at the center position and directly attack Kolo Toure and Savic.

It is wrong to ask Aubameyang to compete physically with the opponent, because this guy is simply not good, but Wen Sheng still insists on letting him compete physically, because this is the Premier League, and forwards do not necessarily have to compete physically with the opponent, but

You must first learn to deal with Premier League-style central defenders, otherwise will Aubameyang be able to easily understand the true meaning of movement?!

No matter what other head coaches think, Wen Sheng sees it this way anyway. If you want to be a good forward, you must first learn to make physical contact with the opponent's center back, feel the opponent's strengths and weaknesses personally, and then find your own response strategy.

What's more, fighting against them does not require Aubameyang to succeed every time. As long as he can succeed once out of ten, it is an opportunity, enough to bring a threat to the opponent.

"What the hell are you running around?!" Wen Sheng's curses sounded from the sidelines, and Aubameyang heard it with looming ears. He knew that he had been scolded, but he really didn't like following the picture.

There's too much contact between Ray and Savage, which often results in him not being able to get the ball.

He loves to get the ball!

However, Wen Sheng always makes long passes in the backcourt, whether they are flying from the sky or passing on the ground. In short, they are all long passes. Aubameyang is a lone forward and has heavy defensive tasks on both wings. There is not much support for him. He can only

It's too much for your body to carry it alone against your opponent.

Manchester City is the main attacking side, and Mancini is the Italian coach. He is also trying to adapt to the Premier League environment. Manchester City's pace of play is not slow, but they pay attention to advancing layer by layer most of the time. Today, Crystal Palace happened to be timid and did not take any measures.

By running wildly up front and holding on to their own half, Manchester City naturally had more possession of the ball.

But it is not easy for them to break through Crystal Palace's center. Matic, Stroman and Mkhitaryan are partnered in the center. Because of the team's tactical problems, their defense is really not bad. Matic's great strength

The legs are still very useful.

Manchester City's wing has put a lot of pressure on Crystal Palace. Macho is still there, but Wen Sheng can tell with the naked eye that this guy seems to be in a bad state. He must be tired. On the other side is Mark Wilson. Wilson is quite satisfactory.

He basically defended those who could, and basically couldn't defend those who couldn't.

The two central defenders Morgan and Van Dijk are actually under a lot of pressure. Opposing them is Bosnia and Herzegovina forward Dzeko.

Dzeko is a good player. Many players in the former Yugoslavia not only have excellent bodies, but also have outstanding foot skills. Dzeko is a typical example.

In the first half, Dzeko completed three shots, all of which were threatening.

Manchester City looked great, but in fact their players underestimated Crystal Palace. Nasri and Adam Johnson didn't make many crosses. They always liked to cut and cut with the ball, which in turn delayed a lot of opportunities.
Chapter completed!
