146. League Cup out
"Even if I have an opinion, I only express my opinion as a fan, an ordinary England fan!" Wen Sheng wouldn't want to take back his words. He was really unhappy with Capello.
There is no doubt that Beckham is his favorite star. His ability to fall in love with football had a lot to do with Beckham. However, Capello did not like to see Beckham in Real Madrid and did not like to see Beckham in the England national team.
Mu.
What happened to Capello in Real Madrid in the end?! He just slapped himself in the face! He had to use Beckham again.
As soon as his eyes see Capello, Wen Sheng's mind can't help but think of this past incident. Haha, now Capello plans to do this again in the national team.
How can Wen Sheng be satisfied?! He is a head coach, but he is also a fan!
What's wrong, I just don't like your choice!
"You are also a coach..." Capello wanted to say that every coach has his own considerations, but Wen Sheng interrupted him very rudely.
"Mr. Capello, Mr. Wenger! Today we really don't talk about the national team. This is a matter of football philosophy! You have your philosophy, which naturally creates your standards for selecting and employing people. I also have my own set of principles! Who?
Who is right or wrong?! Grades are the standard for testing everything!"
Wen Sheng's words were really unpleasant. He was just slapping Capello in the face and telling him to stop comparing nonsense until results are achieved.
Of course, Wen Sheng swore that he did not mean this. He just wanted to express a point of view: results are the only criterion for correct tactics.
"Okay, Daniel, Fabio! We don't need to talk about anything else. Today we just have a drink, how about it?!" Wenger quickly raised his glass and invited the two of them to drink.
Capello was so angry in his heart, but he held it back in the end. I had to show off. Let’s see what a young boy like you, who is just starting out and doesn’t know the world, can say.
After drinking a few glasses of bland wine, Wen Sheng stood up and left, saying that his bus was about to leave and he might not be able to catch it if he stayed any longer.
"Fortunately, my brothers are so hard-working. I'm going to look like Capello today. If I lose, this guy might have to quarrel with me when he faces the media!" Wen Sheng said as he walked out of the bar, shaking his head.
But then he thought again, "Am I being aggressive?!"
Thinking again, "Isn't that something he brought upon himself?! Who made him want to convince me?!"
…
While having dinner with the players, Wenger called Wen Sheng.
"I'm sorry, Daniel! I was hoping you could have a chance to sit down together..."
"Arsena, thank you! It's okay to sit down for a while! It's not a personal grudge between Mr. Capello and I, it's just a difference of ideas! He is a stubborn person!" Wen Sheng said with a smile. To be honest, Wenger can make this call.
, he was very happy, he was indeed a little annoyed that Wenger actually invited Capello to join him.
After talking for a few words, the two hung up the phone.
The atmosphere at the dinner was very good. Although it was a draw, the opponent was Arsenal. Everyone was very satisfied. Even De Bruyne, who has always been very demanding, was very happy.
After dinner, Wen Sheng naturally went to find his wife.
Cheryl has been a little busy recently. She not only does a program on an independent television station, but also writes a column in a newspaper. She often goes on business trips, and she is very prosperous and outstanding.
Wen Sheng will naturally not be more relaxed than her. The two of them spend less time together and more time apart.
Fortunately, both of them are still young and don't care much about the current situation.
After a lot of talk, Wen Sheng told Cheryl the story about today's meeting with Wenger and Capello. After hearing this, Cheryl said: "You don't want to see Capello that much?!"
"Yes!" Wen Sheng said straightforwardly, but after asking himself, he found that he just didn't like Capello.
"Why?!" Cheryl asked curiously.
"Because he is teasing Beckham!" Wen Sheng said, "I like David, but Capello is definitely targeting him on purpose!"
Cheryl almost burst out laughing. She really didn't expect that Wen Sheng disliked Capello because of Beckham. She now understood a little bit. In the summer, Wen Sheng was full of resentment and sharp words towards Capello's use of personnel to lead troops.
I'm afraid there are people who really don't like Capello and can't help but keep their mouths shut.
"Is there a problem? You know I fell in love with football because of David!" Wen Sheng accidentally let it slip. He did fall in love with football because of Beckham, but Daniel didn't.
"No problem! I just think you can't hide your likes and dislikes?! Wouldn't it be awkward if you all hang out in the same circle?! You should be a bit more gentlemanly!" Cheryl laughed.
"Just be yourself, just be yourself!" Wen Sheng muttered, he didn't care about gentlemanly manners, not to mention he felt that he was quite graceful, and it was said that he had a good reputation in external reviews.
…
The news of Crystal Palace's away draw with Arsenal was not big news. The focus of the second round was the "Blue-Red Club" - Blue Moon Manchester City defeated the visiting Liverpool 3-0 at home.
The high-spirited Huo Taigong successfully fell into the trap last season. He just wanted to return to the top. But he didn’t expect that Liverpool’s trap was really bad. So far, Liverpool have made money in the transfer market, although they have retained outstanding players.
Ladd, Torres and other main players are there, but how can we fight with them if we don’t pay a lot of money to buy them?!
In the first round, they were tied by Arsenal at home, and in the second round they went to Manchester and even lost their pants.
Wen Sheng made a special phone call to Taigong Huo to comfort him. During the conversation, he could feel that Taigong Huo was really dissatisfied with Liverpool's operations in the transfer market, but now he was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off.
The example of Huo Taigong taught Wen Sheng a profound lesson. He should choose his next club carefully. Liverpool's situation at this time is very bad. However, what the fans expect is not consistent with reality. Let's not talk about the fans, let's talk about the Liverpool players.
Immersed in the fantasy of the heavenly dynasty, it is a matter of certainty that Huo Taigong will eventually be brought to bear the blame, not a matter of probability.
After all, Liverpool's affairs are other people's affairs. Wen Sheng's first priority is his own team.
On August 24, Crystal Palace went to Portsmouth to compete in the second round of the League Cup.
In this game, Crystal Palace made a major rotation in the lineup. Taylor came on as the goalkeeper, Mark Wilson replaced Klein in the defense, the center back partner was Morgan and Van Dijk, and the left back was Hills.
In the midfield, Stroman replaced Boateng, Ndiaye replaced Deli, and Kante still has not been rotated.
The forward line has become Alan Lee, Zaha and Scannell.
The strength gap between Portsmouth and Crystal Palace is visible to the naked eye. It is no longer the same as it was more than three months ago. Under financial trusteeship, they lost a lot of players in the summer. Even if they reach the English Championship, they will probably only be able to think about relegation.
It's something.
The two sides fought to a score of 1:1. Portsmouth won the penalty shootout and Crystal Palace was eliminated.
Crystal Palace's performance is still okay, at least that's how Wen Sheng sees it, but Alan Lee is not Vardy, and his mobility is not very strong, which limits the effectiveness of the tactics.
Stroman also performed very well. He is Wen Sheng's best choice for the midfielder position. Matic will be much more famous than Stroman in later generations, but in Wen Sheng's eyes, Stroman is Delhi's natural talent.
The replacement has height, skills, good vision, and a very reliable long pass.
After Stroman came to the team, Wen Sheng told him that he hoped he could change his position. Stroman readily agreed, so he often played the defensive midfielder position in drills. Today he replaced Boa.
Teng is not in Boateng's position, but a central midfielder, and his function is completely different from Boateng's.
Now Stroman's defensive skills and positional sense are not as good as Matic, and they need to be improved. His aggressiveness is not as good as that of Delhi. These can be improved slowly through training. Experience is the most important. He needs game time now.
Wen Sheng felt that he had always wronged this young man.
Wen Sheng did not feel annoyed that he lost the game and failed to continue in the League Cup. In fact, the coaching staff basically gave up on the League Cup. Wen Sheng did not think that his team could win in the League Cup, FA Cup, and European Cup.
League Cup, four heads in the league, it doesn't matter if they choose to give up the League Cup wisely.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to make such a large rotation in this game.
Chapter completed!
