580. Take Crystal Palace lightly

Different angles of people stand, their understanding of the game will naturally be different. The commentators can say that Padou is a bit conservative, but Padou doesn't see it like this. After conceding the ball, he still insists on his tactical play and plays defensively counterattacks. Manchester City's 442 diamond stand will definitely have gaps after being pressed by the full-back, so he asked Valdy to move to the side.

Unfortunately, his tactical decisions did not have any good results. He invested too little troops on the offensive end, which made it easy for two Manchester City centre-backs to separate one person to take care of Valdi.

Until the end of the first half, Crystal Palace still did not get any good opportunities. Fortunately, they were very tenacious on the defensive end and resisted Manchester City's attack.

"It would be great if there were two goals, and they would almost destroy their will to resist!" Brian felt a pity in the first half. Manchester City played slowly in the offensive rhythm, but there was a chance, and he was a little bit lucky.

Wen Sheng gave Brian a blank look, "I think so too, but I can't do anything if the story doesn't develop like this!"

Sometimes the head coach is really powerless on the court. Manchester City has no problem with tactical execution. The key is that the ability to seize opportunities is closely related to the player's status.

The players were quite relaxed. The FA Cup defeat sounded a wake-up call for everyone. Wensheng was very satisfied with seeing everyone's serious attitude and courageous attitude after knowing shame.

The game was very fierce. Padu finally tried to push the defense forward a little, but just as he changed his mind, he was immediately hit by Manchester City. In the 49th minute, De Bruyne passed the ball at the front of the penalty area, and Dzeko went to the middle. Suarez followed up in time and took the header to break through the goal of Speroni's handle again. Manchester City, who played away, took a 2:0 lead.

Manchester City's pace at the beginning of this positional battle was still very slow, but when they hit the front of the Crystal Palace penalty area, the speed began to speed up. De Bruyne did not use the side with Sarnia as usual, but passed a defensive player at Crystal Palace and made a cross at the right corner.

Dzeko's running position is great and handling the ball is great. A simple pass completely disrupted the defensive situation of Crystal Palace. Suarez's shot did not receive any interference and easily broke half of the empty goal. Speroni was completely attracted by Dzeko's attention and his position was completely biased towards Dzeko. He did not expect Dzeko to not have the ability to shoot but chose to pass the ball.

Padu was very upset and fell behind two goals. He didn't think he still had the ability to lead Crystal Palace to save the score.

Wen Sheng felt relieved, and soon he started to substitution, replaced Suarez with Difu, and adjusted the formation to 4231.

The formation is dead, and the meaning given by the coach is alive. Wensheng's use of 4231 obviously means conservative at this time. He just hopes that he can score three points in this game and does not necessarily have to win big. There is no need to fight against his opponent with two goals. What Manchester City needs to pay attention to is to control the ball steadily.

Not long after Suarez came out, Wensheng replaced Silva with Chamberlain, allowing De Bruyne, Casemiro and Kimmich to form three midfielders.

"It's only been more than sixty minutes now. Is Daniel's substitution a little early?!" Xiao Lei did not particularly agree with Wen Sheng's decision. Crystal Palace's strength is no longer as good as before, but don't think they are easy to bully. They have the ability to cause some trouble for Manchester City.

"He is leading two goals now, and he did this for the Manchester City Derby! But this time seems to be a little earlier!" Wright also thought it was too early.

The doubts of Little Lei and Wright did not come true. Wensheng still maintained the complete midfield structure and gave a lot of explanations to Chamberlain and Defoe. He did not want them to sprint on the wing, but mainly targeted Chamberlain. This kid is young and energetic. Wensheng's offensive model that he is more looking forward to is to rely on the overall pushing back the formation of Crystal Palace.

This strategy made Padu a little helpless. Manchester City was very difficult to deal with last season, and Manchester City was also not easy to deal with this season, especially after leading.

The disadvantage of Crystal Palace is that they cannot control the ball stably, and they are easily cut off by Manchester City when they get out of the ball in the frontcourt, which makes it difficult for them to form an effective organization and threat in their offense.

As Brian said, two goals were also destroying the fighting spirit of Crystal Palace players. No matter how Padu substitutions were used up, Crystal Palace still failed to score even a goal before the end of the game.

The theme of the second half of Manchester City is basically to stabilize its own advantages and not create many good opportunities. It has scored three-pointers smoothly.

During the post-match interview session, reporters asked Wensheng why he replaced Suarez early. Was it to prepare for the Manchester City derby on the weekend?!

Wen Sheng had a sudden inspiration, "Louis' ankle felt a little uncomfortable, so I could only let him go off the court and rest!"

Nani?!

"Do you think he can participate in the derby in a few days?!" the reporters immediately asked.

"I don't know. We will carefully evaluate his situation in the next step! We can only talk about it later!" Wen Sheng answered the reporter.

Suarez was not injured or sick at all, and he had no problems. Wensheng just wanted to deliberately mislead Manchester United.

Brian asked confusedly, "Is Louis injured?! I think he is fine!"

"Hehe, I said that on purpose, to Van Gaal!"

Brian was so speechless, laughing and crying, “Is it useful?!”

"Is it a loss to us if it is useful or not?!" Wen Sheng spread his hands and said proudly, "No, then it will be over!"

After the game, Wensheng did not return to Manchester with the team, but had a dinner with his family, and Vardy and Elizabeth also came.

Elizabeth had nothing to say when she met Wen Sheng. She said that Wen Sheng really didn't give her face at all.

"There is no problem with Crystal Palace relegation. Of course, it is not realistic to think of the European War Zone. Since that's the case, why not just give me three-pointers?! This will at least make me fight with Mourinho!" Wen Sheng complained.

Elizabeth naturally knew that Wensheng was just a joke, and she was also a mother, so she couldn't be the same as before.

Besides, she also hopes that her cousin can achieve a counterattack against Mourinho. When Wensheng revealed that she plans to take a break after the end of the season, Elizabeth hopes that Wensheng will have a perfect season.

"It's not perfect, neither the League Cup nor the FA Cup have been eliminated!" Wen Sheng said after taking a sip of wine.

"It's also amazing to be able to win the league or the Champions League!" said uncle Wien.

The relatives were more shocked. When Wensheng said that he just felt too tired, this statement was recognized by everyone. Vardy said that being a head coach is really tiring, and being a player is also tiring.

"You can't brake!" Wen Sheng cited York's example. When Manchester United's forward player York during the triple-championship era wanted to take a paid leave for one year after winning the triple-championship, Ferguson scolded him.

"If you really have a year off, you won't know if you can return to the Premier League in the future!"
