445. Turn defeat into victory

Ferguson was surprised by returning to Crystal Palace on the court. From his feeling, the mental temperament of the Crystal Palace players was different. From the beginning of the second half, Crystal Palace was no longer afraid and always maintained a strong impact in the frontcourt. The number of players began to increase when showing off their personal work. They did not hesitate to press at high positions. After losing the ball, they immediately snatched around. Melo and Kante did not retreat much, and seemed to be not worried about their defense at all.

After Wen Sheng got angry in the locker room, he did not make any tactical instructions, but he left the players with locker room time. During this period, Delhi and others organized a group of people to start a brief discussion. It should be said that after the midfield discussion, the ideas of the entire Crystal Palace team reached a unified state.

The offense was unambiguous, and the rhythm was accelerated, while the offside tactics were sacrificed. In short, Crystal Palace played the game with a desperate attitude in the second half.

Wen Sheng’s idea is right. In the face of absolute strength, Manchester United’s defense will eventually have loopholes.

Ferguson didn't mean to defend himself in the second half. He originally planned to compete with Crystal Palace while the team was a little physically strong, but he didn't expect Crystal Palace to be so fast.

When he wanted to make tactical adjustments, Crystal Palace scored a goal.

In the 51st minute, Manchester United finally got an opportunity to organize an offense, but Scholes hesitated in the midfield, causing the ball under his feet to be intercepted by Kanter. Crystal Palace launched a counterattack battle. Mertens ran all the way, first easily swaying Evans, and then attracted Ferdinand's robbery. Mertens made a fake shot and swept the ball to the middle. Vardy easily scored the ball with an almost empty goal.

Ferguson chewed gum in his mouth faster and faster, and his heart was a little cold.

He didn't expect Scholes to make such a mistake, and Mertens's ability to handle balls was a bit beyond his expectations. According to his intelligence, Mertens doesn't like breaking through, and the distance to dribbling in each game does not seem to be that much, but he seems to have forgotten how could a player like Mertens who has speed even won't even run long distances?!

The reason why Mertens doesn't dribble the ball often is that his team attributes are relatively strong is that Wensheng has different requirements for him.

Generally, the ball is really handed over to Mertens's feet. In the opponent's penalty area, Mertens's ability to get rid of small range is actually very good, and his shooting is also quite weird. To put it bluntly, where Wensheng made Mertens's force work is near the penalty area, not the team's assaulter.

In the past, when De Bruyne was alive, he mainly used the breakthroughs of Mkhitaryan and De Bruyne, and Mertens was still the way to run the winger.

After the substitution in today's game, the main breakthrough players were Tarabut and Mkhitaryan rather than Mertens.

The data brought some wrong estimates to Ferguson, which also made Rafael a little careless.

"Oh, maybe we have really become weak!" I have to say that the strength in the league also gave Ferguson some illusion, thinking that his Manchester United seemed to be a little bit worse in the midfield, and the team was still a first-class strong team, but now it seems that it is really what Wen Sheng said, and Manchester United has decayed in all aspects.

Just talking about this, Sir Evans was a little discouraged. At least he should play a role in delaying his opponent, but he was like a wooden stake.

Carrick returned to defense slowly, and Ferdinand finally had no match for four hands with both fists, and the Lord couldn't help but shake his head.

Wen Sheng called out "yes!" in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he looked like he was still dissatisfied.

In the stands, Parrish widened his eyes and turned defeat into victory?!

He couldn't believe that Wen Sheng's substitution adjustment really turned the situation around, from 0:1 to 2:1, it only took more than ten minutes.

Manchester United players were hit a little bit, and after the second half, they were beaten unreasonably by Crystal Palace until their opponents overtook the score. Some of Manchester United players were confused.

Ferguson started roaring on the sidelines, which quickly woke Manchester United players up. I have to say that Ferguson is indeed a decisive needle. A few words made Manchester United players much more stable. There were almost no collapse games this season. The only collapse game was the Manchester City Derby. Manchester United was beaten up by Manchester City. It was too difficult to see the Manchester United team being depressed at other times.

With each other's enthusiasm, Manchester United players stood up again.

The morale of the Crystal Palace players was greatly boosted, and many people were thinking, "So we can really do it! Just playing like this will definitely make them beat!"

"The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road!" Wen Sheng shouted loudly on the sidelines. This was what he told the players in the locker room before the game. At this time, he said such words again. The players of Crystal Palace all know what this means, and the leader needs them to continue to attack.

Ferguson gradually realized something as he watched the game. The Crystal Palace players were more decisive than Manchester United players after the start of the second half. In addition, no matter what, Crystal Palace's formation has always been relatively compact and has considerable flexibility.

On the other hand, his team was defeated, too many dangers fell on the defender, and the midfielder lacked protection for the defense!

While Ferguson was thinking about countermeasures, Crystal Palace scored another goal in the 67th minute. This time, Mkhitaryan scored for Crystal Palace. After he hit the wall with Vardy in the middle, he actually entered the Manchester United penalty area as if he was in a no-man situation. It was obviously not an opportunity but he converted it into a goal.

I have to say that Manchester United's defense is so embarrassing, and Ferguson's face is also green.

Think about the words that Wensheng said before the game that Manchester United was not very good. Ferguson's old face was a little fever and made consecutive mistakes. Doesn't this just confirm that Wensheng said that Manchester United is a paper tiger?!

Wensheng never expected that his anger would bring such a change to the team. The players' performance exceeded his expectations. The first half was bad, but in the second half, Wensheng was sure that Crystal Palace had already made Manchester United two days ago.

"Damn it, handsome! Manchester United's defense line is a mess?!" As soon as Mkhitaryan scored, Zhang Liang couldn't wait to speak in the group.

"Mkhitaryan is indeed capable! At least in the midfielder, De Bruyne is not here, I think he is the best candidate!"

"Haha, Manchester United fans are afraid they're going to cry!"

"Damn, Crystal Palace is so powerful?!" Some Manchester United fans cried in the group.

"No, no, no, I have to buy De Bruyne!" Another Manchester United fan said.

To be honest, these fans were bewitched by Wen Sheng's remarks before the game, and on the other hand, Crystal Palace played very well in the 20 minutes of the second half. Like Bilbao, they actually had a lot of opportunities to expand the score. Scoring only two goals is considered to be Manchester United's luck.

Looking at this situation, as Manchester United's physical fitness declines, Crystal Palace's advantages will become more and more obvious, and it may be possible to make Manchester United collapse in the second half.

Ferguson made a quick decision and made a decisive substitution adjustment, replacing Valencia with Fletcher. Scholes' position was ahead of schedule, with Fletcher and Carrick forming a double midfielder.
