The game lasted 20 minutes. Chelsea had some shots, but the quality was hard to praise. None of the 4 shots hit the goal frame, and Speroni didn't make a single save.

Chelsea fans booed loudly for the Crystal Palace bus, while Crystal Palace fans of the visiting team loudly applauded every clearance made by the players on the field.

Wen Sheng's bus is very ugly, but who cares about Crystal Palace fans? No one cares. What they care more about is whether they can stay in the Premier League and whether they can score points from the Big Mac. They are not picky Real Madrid fans.

Not a picky Barcelona fan either.

The Crystal Palace led by Wen Sheng relied on such tactics to win the final victory many times, bringing them the first FA Cup championship in their century-old history. They were very satisfied.

Crystal Palace got several counterattack opportunities, but they didn't play very well. Ferreira did press more, but Alex's replacement was very timely, filling the gaps several times and successfully destroying the ball.

Being suppressed by Chelsea is definitely not a good thing, so Wen Sheng requires the team to pass the ball back in the frontcourt as much as possible, control the ball in the backcourt, and occasionally hold the ball in their hands to delay the opponent's attack.

Wen Sheng didn’t know if it was Ancelotti’s arrangement. In short, Chelsea’s frontcourt press was not very active. Crystal Palace was able to calmly control the ball in the backcourt and successfully spent a lot of time relying on such control of the ball several times.

.

Such a move naturally earned a round of boos from Chelsea fans.

The coaching bench and coaching area are on this side of the main stand, and Chelsea's curses can be clearly heard in Wen Sheng's ears.

"Hillbilly, is this the only tactic you can use?!"

"Coward!"

Wen Sheng just pretended not to hear and directed the players' movements.

Unless they are pushed beyond their endurance, Crystal Palace will kick the ball forward, otherwise they will definitely be wandering around in the backcourt.

Ancelotti had no choice but to ask his players to step up the frontcourt pressing, and cursed Wen Sheng in his mind, "Are you an Englishman or not? Di Matteo has more courage than you."

Drogba was very angry and called his teammates to press on him with his hands.

The effect of this move was obvious. In the 25th minute, under pressure from the opponent, Morgan hurriedly passed the ball back to Speroni. The force was a little lighter and was almost intercepted by Kalou. Fortunately, Speroni ran away.

Be quick, fall to the ground to tackle, and successfully destroy the ball.

"Wes, Wes!" Wen Sheng shouted Morgan's name loudly.

Morgan heard this and looked at Wen Sheng. He thought Wen Sheng would yell at him, but instead he saw Wen Sheng making a gesture of pressing his hand down, telling him to relax and take it easy.

Morgan breathed a sigh of relief, regained his composure and concentrated on dealing with the opponent's foul ball.

The other central defender, Benatia, is tasked with keeping an eye on Drogba. He entered the state relatively quickly today. Even though he is thin and weak, his physical strength is actually not bad at all. He can run quickly and attack fiercely.

People feel like the desperate Saburo Shih-hsiu from Water Margin. It doesn’t matter whether Drogba is the best striker in the world. He is brave and domineering when fighting for headers. Drogba is powerful enough, but in front of a nobody like him, there is no such thing.

How much bargain can you get?

What's interesting is that both of them can speak French. Drogba came to France to join his uncle when he was a child, while Benatia was born in France. When he first came on the court, Drogba even "threatened" Benatia in French, saying that today

I want to show you some colors, but he hasn't even opened a dyeing shop yet.

Benatia was obviously not the kind of big, silent guy, and he did not fall behind when facing him, so he quickly responded to Drogba, saying that Drogba was just an old man.

Drogba's lungs are about to explode. In fact, Drogba is still one of the best centers in the world at this time, but his age does matter. Of course, Drogba doesn't like others to say he is old.

In the 31st minute, when Drogba was arguing with Benatia about a point, he leaned on Benatia and deliberately made trouble. He hit Benatia's face with his elbow and touched Benatia's brow bone.

Anthony Taylor saw clearly and decisively whistled Drogba for a foul and showed him a yellow card.

Wen Sheng had already jumped on the sidelines. He could see that Drogba did it on purpose. He only showed Taylor a yellow card warning. Wen Sheng was really dissatisfied.

When he was even more angry, Benatia was bleeding. His eyebrow bone was broken by Drogba's elbow, and blood flowed freely.

"Disgusting! Shameless! What a bitch!" Wen Sheng was furious on the sidelines. He was very worried that Benatia would be dismissed from get out of class. What he liked was Benatia's bravery, so he dared to do nothing at all in Benatia. After training with the team for a few days, he needs such a central defender to challenge Drogba.

Onyewu?! Forget it, this guy may have the courage to fight Ibrahimovic, but he is not brave enough on the court. The most important thing is that Onyewu lacks the flexibility of Benatia.

Drogba's mobility is very strong.

Benatia had no choice but to leave the field and receive treatment on the sidelines. Lawrence hurried over to ask about the situation, while Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines and directed the players to fill Benatia's gap.

With Benatia off the field, Crystal Palace has lost one person to fight. Chelsea will definitely use his treatment time to put pressure on Crystal Palace in the half. Wen Sheng must ensure the integrity of the defensive system no matter what.

He asked Delhi to cover Benatia's gap, and then asked Boateng to retreat and act as a defensive midfielder. The ball was cleared as far as possible to the sideline, allowing the opponent to get a throw-in, which would also take some time.

Sometimes on the court, you have to be smart.

At this time, Boateng failed to make a decisive clearance and was intercepted by his opponent, resulting in a threatening shot. Drogba made the ball and Kalou's shot was touched by Speroni's fingertips and hit the goal post.

"Damn it, kick it to the sideline, kick it to the frontcourt!" Wen Sheng angrily kicked the air with his feet and cursed.

Boateng regretted it endlessly. If the ball had been scored by Chelsea, he would have been an absolute sinner. He just hesitated and did not follow Wen Sheng's instructions. As a result, the fast-moving Ramirez took the ball from his feet.

Stolen.

"Madehi said he can play!" Lawrence ran over and reported to Wen Sheng.

"Very good!" Wen Sheng was very happy, and then asked, "What did Manos say?!"

Manos is the team doctor of Crystal Palace. The team changed the team doctor this summer. Although Wen Sheng very much hopes that Benatia can return to the game, he cannot make fun of the players' lives in case Benatia is brain-dead.

It's very dangerous to go up and play football after being shocked.

"Manos tested him, and there's no problem!" Lawrence replied affirmatively to Wen Sheng.

Wen Sheng nodded.

Benatia's treatment took a lot of time. Although the Crystal Palace used various means to delay, there was still noise in front of the door. In the 37th minute, the door of the Crystal Palace finally fell.

Ferreira made a non-threatening cross from the left at a 45-degree angle, but Drogba squeezed him into Delhi. He grabbed a chance and succeeded from the reverse corner, breaking through Speroni's fingers.

"Foul! Foul for pushing!" Wen Sheng started shouting again. Drogba did push someone. Strictly speaking, it was a foul, but it was okay for the referee not to call it because Delhi's hands were also unclean.

Wen Sheng showed the fourth official Atkinson a pushing gesture. Atkinson shrugged helplessly. Wen Sheng shook his head and smiled.

Drogba excitedly rushed to the corner and slid to his knees. This time there were no three bars, only two.

Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief. This first half was too difficult. Chelsea did not create any good opportunities. If Drogba hadn't kidnapped Crystal Palace center back Benatia, Chelsea would have lost all the opportunities.

It's hard to break through.

It was Drogba who scored the goal. This amazing forward has made a contribution to himself again.

"Steady, steady!"

"Isn't it just a lost ball?"

"Be patient! Defend well! Don't be discouraged, they just rely on their numerical advantage!"

"Madehi will come on soon, and we will definitely equalize the score!"

Wen Sheng shouted loudly to his own half.
Chapter completed!
