112. Shake hands and make peace
Lao Lei smiled and couldn't see any pressure at all, but he was saying something else in his heart.
He couldn't tell the pain. In summer, he didn't know what kind of heart he was moved. He came to the team happily. Who knew it was a hot potato? Some time ago, Crystal Palace almost got out of the group stage. Some time ago, some people started to clamor and let him get out. It was not until the qualifying was settled, and the "out of class" sounded.
"Welcome to Etihad! Harry!" Wensheng opened his arms and hugged his fellow villagers. After a moment of separation, Lao Lei said while knocking on his back, "The Manchester City Derby is very wonderful!"
You old man, you don’t have any pot to bring up any pot! Wen Sheng cursed secretly, but these are all small matters. Lao Lei may be really happy from the bottom of his heart. After all, he hopes that Wen Sheng and the others will draw and don’t pull Crystal Palace too far.
"Ferguson escaped, and he will not be so lucky next time!" Wen Sheng joked.
"Oh?!" Lao Lei said oh, and the two of them broke up and separated.
After a while, the game officially began. Wensheng originally thought that Lao Lei's tactics were completely different from when he was there, so he was really sure of this game. But who knew that when he really matched, Wensheng had to scold Lao Lei as an old fox. Crystal Palace's tactics were no different from when Wensheng was there. He focused on control in the backcourt and relied on the wing and forward speed to attack.
Crystal Palace is not without weaknesses. Kante is absent due to injury. Today, Matic and Stroman guard the backcourt for Crystal Palace, and their longitudinal movement ability is a little weaker.
Crystal Palace is definitely not a good thing for Manchester City to show weakness.
This is true. Manchester City has carried out some rotations, and De Bruyne has returned to the starting position, but Crystal Palace has a tight defense, and it is difficult for Manchester City to create opportunities.
Both sides fought wits and courage in the first half, but they couldn't help each other.
"Oh, this old Lei!" Wen Sheng couldn't help but sigh. Crystal Palace is actually quite good, and it's not as low as he faces Manchester City. Old Lei is eager to put his mark on his own, and he ends up being lukewarm in the league.
"Crystal Palace is in this state, so it shouldn't be outside the fourth!" Hawking also shook his head, which was a pity.
"Maybe everyone may not be able to work hard when they see Danny!" Joey interjected with a smile.
Wen Sheng thought about it and nodded, thinking that this was possible.
After the start of the second half, neither side made any adjustments, and the situation was as stalemate as in the first half.
In the 76th minute of the game, Crystal Palace got a chance to counterattack. Mahrez passed the ball, Vardy succeeded in the offside and was tackled by Kompani in the penalty area. Crystal Palace not only received a penalty, Kompani was also sent off the court.
Manchester City could have avoided this situation, but the players were too anxious and could not win the game for a long time, so they moved forward involuntarily. Who knew that the defense was not covered. Toure broke through and was intercepted by the tall and powerful Matic, allowing the opponent to easily get a counterattack opportunity. It would be strange if they were not unlucky. Crystal Palace was good at fighting this kind of counterattack in the frontcourt.
Vardy hit a penalty and Crystal Palace took the lead away.
Manchester City, which had one less player, seemed even more passive. Fortunately, Lao Lei made a fool of himself at this time. He was too unstoppable and had been holding back for a long time. Now he wanted to beat the "Dog in the Water". He did not defend conservatively. Instead, he relied on the advantage of the large number of people to put pressure on Manchester City. As a result, in the 83rd minute, with the same counterattack, Aguero helped Manchester City tie the score.
Wen Sheng has started to shrink the team since he played one less player. Young player Savage replaced Dzeko and kept the defense intact. He didn't expect that Lao Lei really gave him an assist. After equalizing the score, he did not think about winning, and he was determined to consolidate the draw.
Lao Lei was reluctant to give in, but unfortunately his team failed to attack like this many times, but instead was counterattacked by his opponent. Fortunately, Manchester City had one less player after all, and Crystal Palace was in good condition. He did not lose three points when the whistle sounded at the end of the game.
Lao Lei originally had a goal when he came to the Etihad Stadium. Just get a point here. Wensheng is the mountain pressing on him. He doesn't want people to say "He is much weaker than Daniel!" Unfortunately, when Manchester City was one less, the old guy's mentality changed, but he wanted to bully Manchester City. In the end, one point made him a little depressed.
Wen Sheng criticized the players' impatientness without hesitation, "We play too impatiently. Crystal Palace is strong, so we should be a little patient! It is easy for every opponent in the league. We must maintain a good attitude in the game. Sometimes rushing to achieve success will lead to conceding the ball!"
Judging from this period, Manchester City's condition has actually declined, and the Christmas schedule is about to begin, so Manchester City is still in great difficulty.
"The next time we have two away games and one home game. This period will definitely be a difficult period. I cannot deny that the team is very tired, but we need to hold on!" Wensheng also had to admit that physical fitness will affect the team now. "We have too many tasks for the game! Physical fitness will definitely affect the team's condition, which is very unfavorable!"
He is too lazy to complain about too many games now, which makes no sense. Anyway, the FA and the League cannot adjust the schedule.
January is coming, and the winter window will also open. The reporters are also concerned about Manchester City's recruitment issues. You should know that Manchester City's net investment in the summer window is really not much. According to Manchester City's rich man, it is very likely to do something in the winter window. Silva will take some time to come back, and Milner has not recovered from injury. Young player Mane has not gotten many opportunities this season. He has not yet fully grown up and is difficult to take the lead. Aspars' performance is not good or bad. Wensheng's real reliance is De Bruyne and Nasri, so many media and commentators have concluded that Manchester City is very likely to operate in the winter window.
"I do have plans for this, but it is difficult to buy good players in the winter window. Most teams are not willing to let their players go in the winter window, so I can only try my luck!"
Wensheng said it was quite interesting, and the reporters couldn't help laughing, thinking he would hide it.
"As for the goals, we do have some goals, but we have not yet formally negotiated. I will not be convenient for me to disclose them to everyone here!"
The reporter asked Barry again. Barry played too few games this season. The media speculated that he might leave Manchester City in the winter window, but Wen Sheng was not very happy to let Barry leave in the winter window. December to January is the most intense stage of the schedule, and there is still a scam event to be held during this period, the African Cup!
The African Cup means that the team's midfielder Toure will return to China to participate in the competition, and the number of midfielders will be reduced. If you encounter injuries, it will be a disaster. So Wen Sheng vaguely revealed to the reporters, "I haven't heard of such a thing!"
Chapter completed!
