In today's actual match, Zhongsheng placed Delhi as the defensive midfielder on the right, and Kanter was the defensive midfielder on the left. The defense on the left relied on Hills and Kanter.

Moses broke through Hills just now. Neither Hills nor Kanter completed the interception of Moses. The responsibility lies with them. Fortunately, Moses does not have a tacit understanding with his teammates and his passing is not reliable, but this has already been a knock on the two of them.

Alarm bell.

Looking at Moses' back, Hills blamed himself and secretly vowed that he would never let Moses break through easily next time.

Hills and Moses were both from the Crystal Palace youth team. They had been teammates for many years. Moses was the star of hope at that time, but Hills was not as famous as Moses. It was Wen Sheng's appointment that gave Hills the opportunity.

He had the opportunity to grow and prove himself, so he was loyal to Wen Sheng, and what Wen Sheng said was like an imperial edict.

Wen Sheng has done a lot of research on Martinez, because he was later called a master tactician. Wigan had no money to invest and it was a miracle to avoid relegation every season. According to the original trajectory of the world, Martinez led Wigan three times in a row.

He successfully avoided relegation in one season, so it is obviously wrong to say that he is not good enough.

Wigan under Martinez is a very special team. Last season, they focused on offense and light on defense, which does not mean that this season will be the same. They are not good at scoring goals in open battles. Many times they cross just to create two points.

Opportunities, many of their goals were scored outside the penalty area.

Precisely because he understands these characteristics of his opponent, Wen Sheng puts a lot of emphasis on the protection of the two points. Both Deli and Kanter pay special attention to the protection of the two points.

However, Martinez is indeed Martinez. He is indeed a genius. When playing against newly promoted Crystal Palace, Martinez showed great initiative and tried to control the ball in the frontcourt.

This goes against some of Wigan's idiosyncratic playing styles at the end of last season.

"Hey!" Seeing Wigan's performance in the first ten minutes, Wen Sheng felt as if he saw himself playing against Nottingham Forest last season. He caught Nottingham Forest off guard in the first round. Could it be that Martinez, the tactical genius now, also

Want this?!

But he is not particularly worried. The center back position is indeed a concern for him, but both Deli and Kante have deeper defensive positions in order to protect the center back.

Moses was still very bold after getting the ball and still wanted to break through Hills, but Hills was obviously smart and unimaginably sophisticated in defense, just forcing him to the corner and maintaining a very good defensive distance. His activeness

It just gave the ball back to Crystal Palace a few times.

Wigan's tactical strategy did not go smoothly. They lost the ball too easily in the frontcourt. The only good thing is that Martinez was not unprepared defensively. He returned to defense very quickly and Crystal Palace did not find much.

Opportunity.

De Bruyne performed well and was very good at dropping back to receive the ball. Mertens and center Vardy on the other side seemed not to be on the same channel as him, and sometimes Boateng's support was not enough.

"Beautiful pass!" When De Bruyne passed a very imaginative penetrating ball, Martin Taylor couldn't help but exclaimed, but Vardy did not form a tacit understanding with him, and he was two or three times late.

He took a step forward and didn't even take a shot.

"Running in, grinding in!" Wen Sheng couldn't help but lament. It's not that the team didn't pass the ball to the frontcourt, and Wigan's defense was not monolithic, but there was still a slight gap.

"Be decisive when going forward, don't worry about what's behind you! Don't hesitate when it's time to attack!" The weather was very hot. Taking advantage of the dead ball, everyone ran to the sidelines to replenish water. Wen Sheng gestured to Boateng and said.

Boateng is new to this team. He hasn't practiced with the team for too long. He doesn't have a deep understanding of Crystal Palace's tactical system and his offensive movements are not good.

"Kevin, you have to try and read the opponent. Every opponent we encounter is different! You can definitely run into better gaps!"

Wen Sheng emphasized to Boateng.

After rejoining the game, Boateng was indeed much bolder, and De Bruyne also played more comfortably. After all, there were people in the midfield to support him and coordinate with him, and he had more shooting points.

Crystal Palace gradually took the initiative, and Martinez was quite helpless on the sidelines. The pre-match comments did not seem to be very optimistic about Crystal Palace. Wen Sheng also repeatedly emphasized that the more Crystal Palace spends, the more people buy. It does not mean that the team has great strength.

But that was real money spent, and the growth in Crystal Palace's strength was obvious. Martinez didn't think Crystal Palace would be weaker than them anyway.

Almost twenty-five minutes have passed since the start of the game. Wigan basically had a fierce start at the beginning, but then it started to go from bad to worse. They couldn't control the ball in the frontcourt and could only control it in the backcourt.

However, Crystal Palace was not fooled. They did not invest much in pressing in the frontcourt. They relied on three forwards to run in front and left a lot of people in the backcourt. It was difficult for Wigan to counterattack.

Both sides shot very few times, and a lot of time was wasted on meaningless possession of the ball. To be precise, it should be Wigan's unnecessary possession of the ball. Wen Sheng's Crystal Palace does not like to control the ball. They prefer to go straight and pass the midfield.

He dares to pass any kind of ball, but his turnover rate is a little high.

In the 34th minute, Crystal Palace got the ball again from Wigan's unsuccessful frontcourt attack. After three passes and two downs, it came to De Bruyne's feet. Mertens adapted too slowly in this game and attacked on the right.

Unable to get up, he was destroyed by his opponents several times while dribbling the ball, and his physical condition was still at a disadvantage, so Wen Sheng shifted the focus of his offense to De Bruyne's side. De Bruyne has the ability to break through and pass the ball through.

The permeability is also relatively strong and very concealable.

After De Bruyne got the ball, he passed Stam. He did not completely get rid of his opponent, but he passed the ball very quickly. Stam fell to the ground and failed to block De Bruyne's pass.

De Bruyne had taken the lead to observe Boateng's movement. His movement looked like an arc to the front of the opponent's penalty area, but in fact the ball went towards the front of the penalty area.

This was very concealed. Wigan's defender was restrained by Vardy and ran in the wrong direction, while McCarthy, the defensive midfielder, was not closely guarding Boateng.

Boateng rushed up to the ball and shot with one move.

The ball path was very straight, but also very accurate. It passed through the dense defense group in the opponent's penalty area and ran directly to the upper left corner of the gate. When Cochran flew over, it was obviously too late, and the ball entered their net!

"Beautiful goal!" Martin Taylor shouted.

The visiting team's fans' seats were also packed today. As the first match of the new season, even the away fans didn't want to miss it. They jumped up from the stands.

Boateng, who wears the No. 7 jersey, was tackled by late McCarthy after taking a shot, but when he saw the ball go into the net, he quickly got up from the ground and rushed to the corner kick area to celebrate.

"Yes!" Wen Sheng waved his fist a few times, turned around and gave Lawrence and the others a bear hug as they ran over.

"Ding Ding is so damn useful!" Wen Sheng said inexplicably to everyone.

Who is Ding Ding?! Everyone is a little confused.

1:0, Crystal Palace scored the first goal in the away game. Judging from Wigan's poor defense last season, this is actually nothing to make a fuss about, but in fact sometimes it is wrong to look at the data. In this game

So far, Crystal Palace's offense is somewhat incompetent, and Wigan's defense hasn't had many problems.

This is the value of a good player. An occasional flash can really decide the game. Boateng is much bolder in his forward moves and his shots are decisive. De Bruyne's passing is even more wonderful.

In comparison, Boselli, whom Wigan imported from Argentina, is a bit lackluster. This player came to Wigan from distant South America. It seems that he still needs some time to adapt to the game here.

"Martinez can't think of it?!" Thinking that his team actually broke through Wigan's goal in a way that Wigan is good at scoring, Wen Sheng couldn't help but think about it. According to the statistics of last season, Wigan
Chapter completed!
