151. The first defeat
"Mr. Wei, not only can I help contact the lecturers from the Football Association, but if you can contact a coach who is willing to intern with the Crystal Palace team, I can also help."
Internship with the team! This is simply the best benefit.
After Wei Zhong heard this, he was extremely grateful. This kind of opportunity is rare. Crystal Palace is a Premier League team.
"This is great! Daniel! You mean to come with you?! How many places are there?!"
Wen Sheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "You don't follow me, I mean the youth training camp! Well, it's no problem if you want to follow me! The youth training camp can accept one, and my adult team can also accept one of you.
Recommended trainee coach!”
Along with the first team, this is not a big deal. Returning to coach the Chinese national team is obviously impossible, but Wen Sheng is still willing to do something to help the development of national football.
Wei Zhong took it for granted that the study time would not be too long, but Wen Sheng told him that if he wanted better results, of course he should stay with the team longer.
Going to study abroad, what’s the use of studying for half a month?!
According to Wen Sheng's opinion, it would take at least a year to study.
Explain clearly that Wei Zhong is still very grateful to Wen Sheng. One year at a time, the longer the time, the more he can learn the essence of others. These reporters are not professional football coaches. To put it bluntly, they have transferred to many clubs, but among coaches
They may not know everything about experience.
By the way, this is also the reason why he can only talk nonsense.
"I'll treat you to dinner tonight and thank you on behalf of the Chinese football community!" Wei Zhong extended the invitation, but Wen Sheng refused because he had work in the evening and Wen Sheng didn't want to have dinner with Mr. Wei and talk about many things about his hometown.
It always makes him miss his previous life, but it's good now.
...
On September 12, Crystal Palace went to Newcastle. Both Newcastle and Crystal Palace were promoted to the Premier League, so it is inevitable that they are both relegation competitors.
Crystal Palace had one win and two draws in the previous three games, and accumulated 5 points. Considering the opponents they faced, this performance was not bad.
Newcastle had one win, one draw and one loss in the first three games, and accumulated 4 points. It seemed a little worse than Crystal Palace, but the opponents they faced were a little more difficult than Crystal Palace.
In the first round, they ran into Manchester United. The weak Newcastle was away from home again, and Manchester United scored three goals.
But in the second round, Newcastle beat Aston Villa 6-0 at home. This victory came too timely. Aston Villa is not someone who can be manipulated. They also participated in the Europa League this summer.
In the qualifying round, I was just eliminated.
A big win quickly restored Newcastle's morale, and in the third round they successfully drew with Wolves away from home.
The quality of the opponents they faced was slightly higher than Crystal Palace.
Newcastle has almost no signings in the new season. In the Premier League, they are one of the eight teams with the least investment. Last season, they were very successful in the English Championship. Newcastle senior management, to be precise, the boss Ashley
He believes that the team does not need to spend a penny on signings in the new season. He believes that the team's strength is enough to cope with relegation.
From the time Ashley takes over the team and in the next few years, his reputation for being stingy will spread all over the world. To say that Ashley was not that bad before this, it started with Chris Hughton.
He started to be stingy, became more and more unpopular, and became very tense with the fans.
Being stingy does not mean that Mike Ashley spends nothing, but because Newcastle’s investment every year is among the bottom. In this cruel league, if you don’t have enough hematopoietic function, you can’t do it without spending money. The Premier League has been around since the Chelsea era.
At first, this principle was frequently verified to be correct.
Even the statistical research conducted by data companies shows the fact that if you want good results, you must invest more money.
So the new season will actually be a big test for Chris Hughton. When they faced Crystal Palace last time, they were much stronger than Crystal Palace, but not now.
Crystal Palace is not weak.
It's just that in this game, Crystal Palace met their nemesis - Carroll.
Andy Carroll's performance in this game was just like his performance against Aston Villa. With the help of God, he crushed Onyewu and Morgan in the penalty area of Crystal Palace. In the game
Scored two goals.
Defeated 0:2, Wen Sheng was very dissatisfied after the game. The defense did not look strong and the handling of key balls was really disappointing. The players' condition itself was not good enough. Chris Hughton had two skills.
Damn it, he looked down on De Bruyne to death in this game.
Boateng came back from a long "travel" and his physical condition was not good at all. He was replaced by Wen Sheng after playing for more than 60 minutes. The replacement Stroman did not have a tacit understanding with his teammates and made many mistakes.
.
"Andy Carroll is in great shape. We couldn't find enough ways to restrict him!" Wen Sheng praised Carroll after the game. Carroll is a well-known parallel import in Liverpool's history, but now
Wen Sheng's visual inspection shows that this kid is really good and has some strength. His running was much better last season.
If anything, if Carroll is cheap, Wen Sheng would really like to bring him over and train him so that he can be a strong deterrent in the opponent's penalty area.
It's a pity that I can't get it now. In the new season, there are a lot of media that praise Andy Carroll, and Carroll's value has also skyrocketed. This is not something that Crystal Palace can afford.
Chris Hughton went uncharacteristically in this game and set up Carroll as a lone forward. He was originally good at using 442 in the formation, but ended up playing 451 today. It must be said that his change of formation also caught Wen Sheng a little off guard. In addition,
Players can be in poor condition and do a poor job of blocking crosses.
After the game, a reporter asked if the Crystal Palace players were distracted by the Europa League group stage a few days later. This reminded Wen Sheng that this is not really the case, right?!
Regardless of whether it is or not, Wen Sheng must express his dissatisfaction this time.
Not only did he severely criticize the team's attitude towards the game in front of reporters, but he also criticized the players when he returned to the locker room.
"Tell me? Where are your thoughts?! Our performance in this game is completely sorry for the fans who accompanied us on the expedition!"
"Last season we had a draw with them here, but now?! Now we are stronger, but we got a defeat here, a six-point loss!"
"Don't forget, we need enough points to avoid relegation. In order to achieve our goal, we must be careful. With your status today, I bet this season is over!"
"What are you thinking?! Steaua Bucharest?! Come on, guys, food is eaten one bite at a time, and the games are played one by one. I hope you focus on now, not the next game!"
Wen Sheng left with a cold face, and the players quietly reflected on the game.
On the way back to Croydon, Hawking comforted Wen Sheng, "Daniel, this game is not easy for us. Today is a rainy game, and the venue conditions affected everyone's performance!"
This game was played in heavy rain. Of course, the turnover rate in ground passes and receptions was much higher than usual. Crystal Palace is a team that emphasizes ground offense, so this kind of weather really has a greater impact on them.
Chris Hughton's tactics today were relatively simple and direct, just long passes to deal with Crystal Palace.
Newcastle can play like this, but Crystal Palace cannot play like this. Alan Lee, who came on in the second half, was a little unaccustomed to this way of playing.
"Weather factors are of course one of the influences, but we are all behind them in terms of running and aggressiveness! We must position ourselves correctly and everyone must take the game seriously. This is an attitude problem. If attitude does not solve it,
Well, no matter who we kick, we may lose!"
Chapter completed!
