Rhian Smith is also a youth player produced by Crystal Palace. He is not very young and has played this season, but his appearances have been much less. He has neither scored nor assisted.

"I'll think about it!" Houllier declined implicitly.

Wen Sheng didn't care about him. He wanted to rent or not. He really didn't have any food left at home. You fell into the sinkhole yourself. How could you expect me to rescue you?

Speaking of the head coach, a two-legged higher animal, from another perspective, everyone's situation is similar to that of the two Uncle Huo. They are either walking on the way to fill the hole or doing the work of filling the hole, but some

Some people are lucky and fill in the pits well, but some people may be unlucky and fail to fill in the pits, thus ruining their reputation.

For example, Benitez, a coach who is famous for his versatile tactics, has had a very successful coaching career in Valencia and Liverpool, but he is good at everything, so why should he fill Mourinho's job?

What's the trap? I'm having a hard time at Inter Milan. If I don't make it through the New Year this year, I will be fired by Inter Milan.

Therefore, choice is very important. Wen Sheng will still carefully choose the "holes" to be filled.

After defeating Aston Villa, Crystal Palace fans were surprised to find that the team's points had reached 21 points, quietly reaching the fifth position in the league. In front of them were Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United,

Chelsea, and they are only 4 points away from first place Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

Of course, it was not only the fans who discovered that Crystal Palace actually entered the European theater, but also the outside media.

Wen Sheng is now not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs.

Crystal Palace star, Wen Sheng's good friend and life coach Ian Wright is definitely one of them.

"I think Crystal Palace performed very well. Their transfers in the summer were great, and Daniel, I have always said, is a talented coach! I think they can have the strength to compete for the Champions League qualification, and even the championship!"

"At this recent stage, they are in good shape and have gone through the running-in period. Daniel's well-designed tactics and their young players have adapted to the rhythm of the league. Everything seems perfect! I think they can create miracles!"

When Ian Wright was doing a show, he commented on the performance of several newly promoted teams in the Premier League. He spoke very highly of his old club.

"Damn it, are you a pig teammate or something?!" Wen Sheng's high praise for his old friend didn't bother him at all.

Inheriting the traditional Chinese virtue of humility, Wen Sheng knew that it was best to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.

More than 20 days ago, when Crystal Palace scored nine points in seven games, many media criticized themselves. Even the club's senior executives were "soul tortured." The media questioned how many days Wen Sheng could stay.

"Ian, my friend! Can you not be so high-profile next time? My father once taught me that the higher you stand, the harder you fall! You are really doing it for us, please communicate with me before doing a show next time, okay?

?!" After Wen Sheng heard Wright's comments, he "questioned" his old friend at his boss Parrish's party.

"What happened to the high profile?! Daniel, you are good at everything! You just don't understand the high profile!" Wright said plausibly.

"I'm here to help you, do you understand? When I yelled like this and the public opinion started to build momentum, look at the young guys, it's like they were given chicken blood!"

"Now the big guys have to do it! Daniel, play well during Christmas, I don't think the league championship is even a dream!"

Wen Sheng found that arguing with Ian Wright was a stupid thing. Ian Wright was obviously in a state of excitement right now, and you couldn't explain it to him. Besides, there was no point in convincing him. Anyway, he would stay on his own.

Just wait to be tortured by the reporters.

Sure enough, at the press conference before the London derby against West Ham, reporters turned out Ian Wright's remarks on the show.

“I’m delighted with Ian’s compliments!”

The reporters were confused. Their question was, "Daniel, Ian Wright, the guest commentator in the live broadcast of the game the day before yesterday, believed that Crystal Palace performed very well and that it is possible to win the league championship. So now we want to ask you what you think of Mr. Wright."

What’s your opinion?”

It's great. Wen Sheng pretended to be stupid and said this to everyone, and then shut up. How could the reporters not be confused?!

The head coach is pretending to be stupid, but does this kind of pretending to be stupid make sense?

Our point is not to ask you about Wright’s fucking praise, okay?!

"Daniel, Mr. Wright thinks you can also set the league championship as a goal. Will the league championship be your goal?" You can't hide. The reporters immediately asked, and the purpose of the question became clearer!

"Napoleon said that a team that doesn't want to win the championship is not a good team! The ultimate goal of every team is to win the championship. Of course we will also aim for the championship. We have also been working hard for the championship!" Wen Sheng forced

Respond with one sentence.

The reporters were satisfied. After all, they could write about Wen Shengjian pointing to the championship when they returned home.

"The West Ham United team you are about to face tomorrow has not been in good form recently. Do you think your team has a better chance of winning this London derby?"

West Ham United is in poor shape in the new season. They currently have only seven points and are ranked 20th. They are almost five games behind Crystal Palace.

Generally speaking, if you stay in the last position for too long, the possibility of relegation is very slim.

West Ham has been in the last place for more than six rounds, which is a long time. Now they really have to seriously consider the issue of relegation.

"No, I wouldn't say that. They are indeed encountering some difficulties now, but I believe they can get better under the leadership of Mr. Grant!"

"This is a tough game for us. It's not that long since the last game. It's only three days apart. This is a big test for our physical fitness!" Wen Sheng replied.

The head coach of West Ham is Grant, an old acquaintance of Wen Sheng.

Grant led Portsmouth to relegation last season, but he led Portsmouth to the FA Cup final. Unfortunately, he encountered Wen Sheng, who was in full swing, and could only finish second.

But this experience still benefited him. At least the owner of West Ham United recognized his performance and invited him to be the head coach of West Ham United in the new season.

West Ham has just completed the ownership change this year, and Englishmen Sullivan and Gordon have become the new owners of the team. They are almost locals like Parish and are West Ham fans.

Last season, West Ham invited Chelsea legend Zola to coach the team. As a result, Zola failed to complete the task of leading the team to avoid relegation. In May, he was honorably dismissed by West Ham, and Grant took over.

Strictly speaking, West Ham is not a trap, but their owners Sullivan and Gordon, like Parish and Browett, are not top-notch rich people and are unlikely to invest too much in the team.

There are fundamental differences between Crystal Palace and West Ham. As a Premier League team, West Ham has been in the Premier League for many years. From a practical point of view, West Ham has more foundation and is bigger than Crystal Palace.

Why is it said that Abramovich changed the Premier League? Because he brought about a new era, an era of money burning. Money burning is not only reflected in transfers, but also mainly reflected in salary investment.

There have been many transfers due to salary issues. The salary levels of various Premier League teams are very good. West Ham has been in the Premier League for a long time. Even if they were relegated, they were quickly promoted back. Their salary levels are similar to Villa.

, it’s not that too much was invested in transfers, but that too much was invested in operating costs, which led to a very bad situation.

After taking office, Sullivan and Gordon did not dare to spend money randomly. This is understandable. They must take the path of sustainable development, and they have not gone smoothly in recent years.
