Chapter 426 The First Championship of the New Season

Regardless of whether it is because of his admiration for Mourinho or whether it is based on the team itself, in short, for the new season, deep in his heart, Friedman is more inclined to the 4231 formation of this second plan.

!

If 4231 is used, Friedman's starting lineup will change to a certain extent!

First of all, the goalkeeper must still be Diego Lopez.

The four defenders have not changed much: Zabaleta, Lescott, Kompany, and Alves.

Next, is the midfield aspect that is the focus of transformation!

There are 5 people in the midfield, Bale on the left remains unchanged, Wright-Phillips or Nasri on the right will do. 2 defensive midfielders Yaya Toure Modric and attacking midfielder Sneijder!

Single forward Li Yi!

Compared with the previous plan, what Friedman is most satisfied with about this plan is Modric's handling!

After all, Magic Flute was also the absolute contributor to Crystal Palace's championship last season, plus his second favorite player. Although Sneijder is more famous than Modric and seems to be slightly higher, Friedman feels from the bottom of his heart.

Deep down, they are not very willing to favor one over the other. When there is a new person and the old one is forgotten, the Magic Flute will be directly relegated to the sidelines or transformed into a full midfielder. Therefore, this kind of good use of Modric and Sneijder

With the abilities of the two, if they are slightly separated on the court, it will definitely be a much better choice than simply 442![

Gently closing the notepad that he carried with him, Friedman, who had already basically figured out the team's formation and personnel usage for the new season, closed his eyes and enjoyed the high-altitude trip he was experiencing.

Come.

Well, at this time, Friedman and the Crystal Palace players, after finishing the game with Arsenal on the 26th yesterday, are taking a charter flight prepared by Mansour to return to the UK today.

…

After more than 10 hours of flight, by the time the Crystal Palace team returned to London from Dubai, it was already late at night on the 27th!

However, even though it was close to early morning when he got off the plane, Friedman did not disband on the spot. Instead, he first introduced the team's next arrangements to Li Yi and others!

Next, before Crystal Palace competes for the first crown of the new season in two weeks, Crystal Palace still has 4 friendly matches to play!

These four friendly matches are scheduled for July 29th, August 2nd, August 5th and August 7th respectively!

After the above four friendly matches are played, it will be non-stop. On August 10, Crystal Palace will go to fight for the first championship of the new season. As for the opponent for the championship then? I can’t say, and I don’t know what Mansour will do.

Operationally, in short, the opponent competing with Crystal Palace for the championship actually agreed to play a friendly match with Crystal Palace before the official game.

…

Time passed in a hurry and it soon came to August 9. In the past two weeks, Li Yi and the entire Crystal Palace team played 4 more friendly matches.

In these 4 friendly matches, although they did not win all of them, Crystal Palace still continued the unbeaten momentum before the start of the new season, defeating Portsmouth 2-1, Peterborough 2-0, and Peterborough 1-0.

Atletico Madrid, 0-0 Milan, 3 wins and 1 draw. Counting the 4 consecutive wins during the Asian tour, the total is an impressive record of 7 wins and 1 draw, which brings a successful conclusion to the friendly matches before the start of the new season.

After a day of rest, the game itself is not important, and even the championship trophy is useless, but the Community Shield final, which has attracted much attention from the world, has begun.

The game is not important, and the trophy is not important, but it attracts the attention of the world. This sentence may seem contradictory, but it is not. Because, the world is not paying attention to the game, but to the Crystal Palace!

By the way, as the top transfer destination in the new summer and the club that spends the most money, other Premier League powers are still very concerned about how Crystal Palace can perform in the new season!

Although Crystal Palace had played several friendly matches before this, the friendly matches were just friendly matches after all. Friedman almost rotated 11 people in the first and second half, and the players did not play seriously. Under such a general premise, this friendly match

, it doesn’t have much reference value, does it?[

But this game looks different to the outside world!

The Community Shield Cup is tasteless, but in fact it is also a scoring team, it depends on the person!

By the way, since they have never won the Premier League title, they have also never won the cup! It’s hard to say that this is the first time Crystal Palace has participated in the Community Shield final!

So, for such a Crystal Palace, it is almost a sure thing to exert all its strength and defeat the opponent!

As for Crystal Palace's fear of the so-called Community Shield curse of losing the league title if it wins the Community Shield? e, on, don't be stupid, not to mention that Chelsea had already broken this rumored phenomenon in 2005.

Curse, let’s just say that among the young men in the Crystal Palace, none of them would believe in such illusory things and care about them.

…

"Beep, beep, beep!" As the referee on duty blew his whistle, the Community Shield final, which was watched by other Premier League powers, officially started.

…

After 90 minutes of the game, with Li Yi scoring three goals in the first and second half, Crystal Palace won their first goal of the new season almost without a fight at Wembley Stadium.

Championship title!

Li Yi, who scored a hat trick in this game and took the game ball home again, used his actual actions to announce his status to the Premier League team who paid special attention to their game today.

.

Let’s get back to the game. Today, the reporters who had been trying to catch Friedman’s reaction were completely disappointed!

Because, from the beginning to the end of this game, regardless of whether Crystal Palace had an advantage or a disadvantage on the court, Friedman had always behaved very calmly, even at the award ceremony after Crystal Palace won the championship 3-0.

When doing it, there is only a smile on the face, nothing more.

Speaking of which, if Friedman knew what the reporters around him were thinking, he would definitely laugh at them for being idiots!

How strong is Crystal Palace now? Everyone has seen it! In other words, as the coach of such a strong team, he was not very strong in winning the FA Cup last season due to some shit luck.

, even the very weak Portsmouth, it would be strange if Friedman was really excited!

After winning this championship trophy that outsiders thought was so unimportant, Friedman returned to the club, but made an exception and held a small celebration party with the players and gave the team two days off!

What? A bit of a fuss?

No, no! In fact, the combination of work and rest has always been the approach advocated by Friedman. In other words, since the assembly on July 12, Crystal Palace has been undergoing high-intensity training in the past month.

Previously, Friedman felt it was very necessary to let the players relax a little!

Therefore, rather than celebrating the Community Shield championship, it is better to say that Friedman took advantage of the situation and awarded the benefits that should be given to the players.

Crystal Palace and Portsmouth will compete for the Community Shield on August 10th. The first game of the new Premier League season will officially start one week later, on August 17th. After Crystal Palace completed the last group of training on the 16th, it officially

It was announced to the public that they are ready and waiting for Newcastle to arrive tomorrow to celebrate their new season!
