Wen Sheng gestured to the court again, and the team switched to defensive counterattack.

After experiencing the scene just now, the Crystal Palace players must have lingering fears. The team needs to stabilize their emotions. On the other hand, the pressure has lasted for more than ten minutes. Crystal Palace had a chance but failed to score. Wen Sheng was worried that Portsmouth would adapt to the rhythm just now.

It can be seen from their series of handling of the ball that the other side has some ideas.

"Daniel shouldn't have taken such a risk!" Steve Parrish expressed his opinion in the stands, with dissatisfaction in his tone.

Wayne Collins, who was sitting next to him, didn't speak.

Wayne remembered what his nephew Wen Sheng once said, "As a head coach, as long as you can win, everything is right! But as long as you lose, anyone may deny everything you do!"

We haven't even lost the game yet, Parrish kept saying this, and Wayne was very angry and simply refused to respond.

Surrounding him were the club's senior management and Parish's partners, partners Steve Brault, Jeremy Hosking, Martin Long, general manager Pete Morley, and financial director Phil Alexander.

.

Brault did not agree with Parish's words. They came together because they had a common identity. They were Crystal Palace fans and locals, and they loved Wen Sheng as much as Parish did.

"Sometimes it is necessary to take risks on the court! Daniel is the head coach, and he must have his reasons for this arrangement!" Brault said bluntly.

Parrish then realized that he seemed to be saying this in an inappropriate situation. It would be okay if he was watching football at home and expressed some dissatisfaction, but today, damn, Wen Sheng's uncle Wayne was sitting next to him, so he said so

It’s easy to make people think about it.

"Everyone, you know what I mean! I'm not dissatisfied with Daniel! I think you are right, Brault! I absolutely trust Daniel!" The handsome boss Parrish looked at the smiling Wayne with a guilty conscience.

explained.

"I know! Steve!" Wayne laughed, "There's nothing to explain! In fact, I was scolding him too!"

"Regardless of your status as club owners, in fact we are all Crystal Palace die-hards and we all hope that the team can win this game! It is normal to express some feelings and opinions about the game while watching the game! It's nothing.

Big deal! No one will take it seriously!"

Wayne's relief is quite reasonable. When everyone thinks about it, this is indeed the case. Occasionally complaining is nothing!

…

Below the stands, Wen Sheng had no time to think about the attitude of the bosses. The game had already gone on for thirty minutes. Grant, the old fox, was too conservative. Portsmouth had obviously regained some advantage, and he was reluctant to attack forward. In this mode,

Everyone is destined to fight in the midfield. The key is that Portsmouth does not give up the ball.

Foy started to get a little busy during this period. In terms of physical confrontation in the midfield, Crystal Palace was at the bottom. There were more and more fouls on both sides. The game was interrupted more frequently and the game was very boring.

Wen Sheng didn't know that Grant wanted to play rogue like this, and he couldn't think of a clever idea for a while.

As soon as the 40 minutes passed, Wen Sheng immediately switched his gestures again and put pressure on his opponents again according to the time schedule. It didn't work last time. This time it was best to score them a goal in the half and let them attack.

"Again?!" Grant cursed when he saw the changes on the field, but he was not as nervous as before. He had already withstood the first wave of Crystal Palace, which made him feel that the team could also withstand the second wave.

If you run like this, I'll see how you play in the second half! Grant made up his mind to send in the veteran Kanu who had just recovered from injury at the right time in the second half. He removed Picquioni, who was underperforming, and asked Kanu to play as the second forward.

,Tissue series connection,Tindane protrusion.

It's a pity that when he thought his team could withstand it, the team failed to withstand it.

In the 42nd minute, Diop slipped on his foot and failed to catch Mokena's pass, allowing Vardy to intercept it easily. Vardy took a step and suddenly shot a long shot from outside the penalty area. James was caught off guard and the ball went straight.

Upper left corner of Portsmouth Gate.

"Hoo ho ho!" Wen Sheng waved his fist vigorously and made several punching movements.

Damn it, I don’t believe I can’t score!

Vardy flew towards the corner kick area, made a beautiful kneel-down, and heard the roar of cheers in his ears. This feeling made him intoxicated.

Scannell couldn't stop the car and hit him, followed by Kante, Ndiaye, Deli...

In the second half of the season, Vardy was enlightened. In the first half, he only scored two goals in total under Warnock. However, in the second half of the season, under Wen Sheng, this guy actually scored a total of 16 goals in all competitions.

Goal.

Parrish and the others were overjoyed in the stands. Seeing Crystal Palace begin to raise their defense again and implement full-court pressure, their hearts were in their throats, worried that Portsmouth would seize the opportunity like last time.

Last time it was Hills who came to the rescue, but what about next time?! Is there a Hills that comes out every time?! How could Portsmouth be so unlucky?!

Just when everyone was criticizing, Crystal Palace relied on high pressure and scored a goal. It seemed like a slap in everyone's heart. It tasted great!

"Look, all you have to do is trust Daniel when you get to the court! When did he let us down?!" After high-fiving everyone, Wayne glanced at everyone.

"Yes! This boy is indeed a miracle boy! He always brings us surprises!" Parrish answered first, as if he hadn't said the dissatisfaction just now.

Wayne was very happy.

After the celebration, the players from both sides returned to their positions, and now the balance of the game was broken.

Grant was still encouraging everyone on the sidelines, but he couldn't come up with a better solution in a hurry.

"Damn turf! The FA are a bunch of fucking losers! They're a bunch of bastards!" Grant was more willing to blame the FA for conceding the ball.

This is also well-founded. The turf at Wembley has been criticized. Since this venue was put into use, many players have performed wrestling here, and the same is true for Diop.

But that's not entirely the case. Of course, Diop received the ball at a long distance from Mokena, but he asked Mokena for the ball. If not for this reason, Mokena would not have passed the ball to him. Diop was tightly behind him.

Sticking to Kanter, I felt a little panicked, and my foot slipped, which led to bitter consequences.

In the final analysis, Crystal Palace's sudden change of tactics has a lot to do with it. If Kante hadn't pressed hard, Diop might not have made a mistake.

Had Vardy not pressed, he could not have profited from Diop's slip.

After the restart, Wen Sheng still asked his players to press high, but was hit by a lost ball. The Portsmouth players were a little panicked and played awkwardly in the backcourt. Unfortunately, this time they all dealt with the press when they faced it.

No matter how hard they try to control the backcourt, Wen Sheng's team will find it difficult to find good opportunities.

"I really don't know what the hell you are so arrogant about?!" Wen Sheng complained about the mentality of the Portsmouth players, "Wouldn't it be over if we just played like this?!"

Wen Sheng always felt that his opponents still looked down on Crystal Palace a little, and they probably regarded themselves as a Premier League team, but they did not think about it, how could they be regarded as a Premier League team, they could only be regarded as a British Championship team.

When Crystal Palace didn't press high up the pitch, Portsmouth would always drop the ball from behind to control the opponents, and make long passes from time to time. When Crystal Palace pressed high up the pitch, they still wanted to control the ball, and if they were unlucky, it was their own fault.

The stoppage time in the first half was only one minute. There was a stage in the game where there were many stoppages, but Foy was stingy and only gave 1 minute. Wen Sheng had no objection at all. He wished the game was over now. As for Grant's ball

The team's morale has been dampened, and he doesn't necessarily want the stoppage time to be too long. He also hopes that the midfielder will arrive quickly so that he can make tactical adjustments.

Foy has been criticized by Ferguson many times because of stoppage time issues. Just this season, Manchester United suffered an upset loss to the low-level team Leeds United in the FA Cup. The enforcer of that game was Chris Foy. Ferguson believed that

The game was interrupted many times. Foy's five minutes of stoppage time was unreasonable and should have been longer. Ferguson was also fined by the FA.
