403. Tottenham 2
The main reason for using Klose is tactical. First, the focus of this game against Tottenham is on the positional battle. Wensheng thinks Klose may be easier to use than Vardy, and second, it can also be regarded as an unexpected effect. Vardy was originally the number one scorer at Crystal Palace and was in good condition. Lao Lei probably wouldn't have thought that Wensheng would change the employer in this game.
Today's main whistle is Mike Jones. Jones started enforcing the Premier League in 2008. He is not very famous and his law enforcement level is still OK.
Generally speaking, Wen Sheng is the least picky head coach to the referee. He has indeed become angry because of the referee, but in general, he has expressed his respect for the referee and support the referee's work on many occasions.
In fact, many referees have a good relationship with Wen Sheng, and everyone has a good sense of him.
Back at the coaching seat, Wensheng called Valdy to him again, and Lawrence gave Valdy a place.
After Vardy sat down, Wen Sheng said to Vardy: "You have to warm up early later and keep your body warm! This game is destined to be a battle of attrition, and it may still depend on you in the second half!"
Vardy nodded affirmatively.
That's all, but Wensheng once again expressed his attitude to Vardy. Brother still attaches importance to it. Brother still needs you, but everything is a tactical requirement.
Vardy is actually not as sensitive as Wen Sheng thought. At most, he was a little unhappy when he failed to start. However, he fully understood Wen Sheng's situation. Klose did not play too many times this season, but his efficiency was good. Wen Sheng sometimes was quite difficult to deal with.
Last weekend's FA Cup opportunity was given to Aubameyang. Wen Sheng arranged for Klose to start in this game, and Vardy felt that it was not impossible.
The White Hart Lane Stadium booed everywhere, which was their regular program, and it would always put some pressure on the visiting team.
In fact, Crystal Palace is not too annoying in London. Except for the mortal enemy teams, there are many fans of other teams who have good feelings for Crystal Palace, because Crystal Palace has never been a nouveau riche. They don’t spend a lot of money to buy people, but they won the FA Cup and Europa League championship in two years, which is really admirable.
Just talking about the fans of Chelsea and Arsenal, of course, are not friendly to Crystal Palace on the court, but many of them praise Crystal Palace off the court, and many even imagine how great it would be if Wen Sheng could join his own team.
Previously, the media had good news conducted street surveys during the most difficult moments of Boas and Wenger, asking the fans of the two teams who were the most suitable head coach for Boas (Wenger). Wen Sheng became the first choice for fans of the two teams.
If they really regard Crystal Palace as their mortal enemy, then they will not be able to put Wensheng first.
It’s like Tottenham fans will never like Wenger, and Manchester City fans will never like Ferguson.
Let’s stop talking, and the ceremony before the game ended, and both sides quickly started working on the court.
Tottenham coached by Lao Lei pays attention to giving the frontcourt players freedom in offense. For example, the team has a lot of room for free to play, and the team's offense is also more layered.
Lao Lei can't escape some of the British head coach's modes. For example, he also attaches great importance to assaulters on the side, and cutting in the bottom is a common routine.
Unlike Boas or Mancini, they conduct tactical experiments and set up front midfielders on the sidelines.
The biggest feature of Tottenham is its fast, but they have a core, which is Modric. Modric's pass-through organization in the midfield is the offensive support of Tottenham.
Many fans look down on Lao Lei, but who says Lao Lei will not do good things?! Real Madrid's two future emperor superstars were actually made by Lao Lei. Modric has been identified as the core of the midfield organization this season. He looks thin and is the midfield engine of Tottenham. His physical confrontation ability is much stronger than when he first arrived at Tottenham. He can organize and promote.
But as a core figure, Wensheng did not take close-knit defense measures against him.
Because Crystal Palace will dominate the ball in this game, Wen Sheng’s plan is to use slow control to speed. Can you run on Tottenham’s wings?! Isn’t it fast speed and strong impact?! Isn’t Modric good at organizing?!
Then I will try my best to get less balls.
If others hold less, they will naturally have to hold more.
If Bale and Lennon can run, then use positional battle to push them back and let them return to Tottenham's half-court defense.
Wen Sheng is so confident that he has no limit to the control of his own midfield, and he is more than enough to deal with Tottenham's midfield.
Tottenham's midfield triangle is Modric, Van der Fate and Parker. Modric's offense and defense are more balanced, and Parker is more balanced, but they are not pure defensive midfielders. Van der Fate is a player with offensive attributes, and his defensive awareness and ability are relatively poor.
A triangular configuration like Lao Lei is almost difficult to see in modern football, because the midfield lacks hardness and interception, it is inevitable that they will suffer some losses when encountering control-type teams.
Because of this, their defense is not very reliable, and although they don’t conced many goals, they are also quite a few.
After the game started, it was not beyond Wen Sheng's expectations. Tottenham at the beginning, they wanted to compete with Crystal Palace for the ball. They were very active in robbing, but after Stroman hit two consecutive long straight passes to find Klose, Tottenham players began to understand that if this continues, the opponent's long passes would cause trouble for their hinterland.
Lao Lei made a quick decision to make the team give up the high-pressing force. To be honest, Lao Lei's high-pressing strategy is just to behave like this. Van der Fate, like his old enemy Ibrahimovic, is not suitable for such a tactic at all. If he fails to press at high-pressing force, it makes Tottenham itself lose all its loopholes, and the tactics are easily resolved by Crystal Palace, which is not worth the loss.
After Tottenham's tactical adjustment, Crystal Palace began to gain a full control advantage, often passing the ball for a long time without conceding the ball. Once the ball was lost, the midfielder pressed more quickly and quickly counterattacked. Stroman and Kante received sufficient rest during this period and showed good condition. It was difficult for Tottenham to make a ball, so they had to go to Adebayo, and eight out of ten passes were unsuccessful.
Wensheng hates unnecessary ball control the most, but today he has to use Barcelona's tactics against Tottenham.
Lao Lei said clearly that he was very proud recently, fantasizing that the team could revenge the first half of the loss at home, and fantasizing that he could fight Crystal Palace. Who knew that this was the case?!
Tottenham is even worse than Arsenal, and the ball possession rate is very low.
Wen Sheng touched his chin tightly. Tottenham looked miserable. In fact, they were much better than Arsenal in the Battle of the Chiefs. In that game, Crystal Palace had a faster offensive pace, making Arsenal very embarrassed on the side. In this game, Crystal Palace sought absolute control and prevented Tottenham from flying on both wings.
15 minutes passed, Crystal Palace firmly grasped the ball, but there were only a few shots, and Klose's performance also looked average.
As for Tottenham, it only completed a shot. In the 12th minute, Van der Fate's lob shot from 40 meters away, the ball was not threatening and it was far away from the post.
Wensheng was very calm and relieved.
Bell had the strength to do so, and had nowhere to play.
Because he rarely gets the ball and his frequent participation in defense keeps him away from Crystal Palace's halftime.
Lao Lei is not Wen Sheng. Wen Sheng often uses the tactic of wings in front and center dragging back, but Lao Lei will definitely not do this, because Tottenham's midfield defense is not optimistic and lacks lateral movement ability.
Just after 15 minutes, Crystal Palace suddenly exerted force and De Bruyne began to force his appetite.
Tottenham was a little panicked. In the 18th minute, De Bruyne and Mkhitaryan cooperated and cut inward and shot with their left foot. The ball drew a wonderful arc and headed straight to the lower right corner of Friedel's goal.
Crystal Palace led 1:0 in the away game.
It is Modric who defends De Bruyne. Modric's defensive attitude is beyond words, but his defensive ability and physical fitness are lacking.
How did De Bruyne get rid of him?!
Chapter completed!
