192. The stubborn McCarthy
Michael Owen is not that kind of old monster. He becomes more comprehensive as he gets older. He is not much different from before. He is still a pure shooter. However, as he gets older, his various functions decline, and naturally he is no longer there.
You definitely can't pick someone like him when picking a veteran. Wen Sheng doesn't think he can bring much help to his team.
Joshua King was also rejected. His efficiency during the loan period was not very high, or even very low. He is young and has little experience. Wen Sheng felt that he could not bring him much help.
Looking through the rest of the information, Wen Sheng was not satisfied, either because he was too old or because he was too young.
Mader was speechless about this boss. He found him according to his conditions, but now he felt that it was not suitable for him.
What's wrong with Owen?!
It seems like a good fit in Mader. Although the salary requirements may be high, they are all negotiable!
"If you keep looking, I hope the players who come will be more efficient in scoring goals. The players you are looking for must not be too old to come here to retire. We don't raise idle people here. Otherwise, they are too young and do not have rich experience in the league. How can they be applied?"
?!" Wen Sheng didn't care what Mader thought, he just wasn't satisfied.
Mader had no choice but to agree.
After returning to his office after Mader, he was about to think about tactical arrangements to deal with Vardy's vacancy, when Morelli came to the door again.
Yesterday's game was a result that made everyone angry. My wife failed to win the London derby again. This is really sad.
Wen Sheng's "crazy" attack on the referee after the game was already known to Morelli and others.
The club's top management is not soft-spoken. The chairman and boss must behave like a gentleman, but general manager Morelli cannot. Crystal Palace is a grassroots club after all, and there is no need to take so much care. So this morning Morelli made several interviews with the media.
Of course, it is impossible for him to continue to scold the referee like Wen Sheng did. But he can say it in an insinuation.
You can always support Wen Sheng and express your support.
Morelli came to Wen Sheng to personally express his support. Wen Sheng's reaction was: "What, if the club is fined, will the club pay it?"
Morelli was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I will repay you!"
"No matter how much it costs?!"
"Well, no matter how much it costs!"
Morelli nodded affirmatively, and couldn't help but think of a rumor about Wen Sheng. It was said that last season Wen Sheng was also accused and fined by the Football Association for speaking nonsense after the game. At that time, it seemed that he was fined 5,000 pounds. This kid
I just wanted the club to pay for it, but Carlton didn't agree, which reportedly made the kid very unhappy.
"Stingy!" Such a word flashed in Morelli's head.
In any case, Wen Sheng was very happy with Morelli's attitude. He is a good man.
How did he know that the media later gossiped that the FA was not just as simple as a fine, but that they were going to accuse Wen Sheng of improper remarks after the game, and not only fined him but also banned him from the game.
"Damn it, they won't be so cruel, right?!" Wen Sheng was timid. It's not okay to play this game without timidity. If he misses, it will have a big impact on the team.
During the recent winning streak, he came back and stood on the sidelines of the court.
Some time ago, he injured himself and took the initiative to suspend the game. Now the Football Association is serious about suspending him again. Wen Sheng feels that he has suspended too many games.
On the 20th, the team will play against Wolves. At the pre-match press conference, Wen Sheng really did not dare to discuss the refereeing issue.
The reporters kept pointing Wen Sheng to the refereeing issue, and Wen Sheng said directly: "Well, we won't discuss the refereeing issue. I have already said what I should say, and I don't want to repeat it again!"
"Wen, regarding the news that you may be charged, how much impact do you think this will have on your team?!" the reporter asked.
After listening, Wen Sheng asked: "Sir, do you want to express what impact this news will have on us? Or is it an accusation?"
"Well, both!"
"Whether it's the news itself or the accusation, I don't think it will cause us any trouble. It doesn't bother them, and I believe my team members won't either! Justice is what everyone wants!"
Wen Sheng answered casually. He still wouldn't talk about the referee anyway. He was working hard to ease the relationship with the Football Association. It would be great if they showed mercy and spared his life.
In addition to digging holes for Wen Sheng on the "referee" issue, reporters are also concerned about how the team will deal with Vardy's absence.
Vardy's question is also the most frequently asked question.
"His injury is not as serious as imagined. He will rest for more than a month and he will return to the court soon."
"We have a lot of players who can play in the forward position. Jamie is an important member of our team. I don't want him to get injured. It is definitely not true to say that his absence will not cause us trouble. But we still have
Allen, Weir, Ryan and many other players can play Jamie's position, and we can deal with the problems caused by his absence."
After Vardy was absent, Wen Sheng did not immediately think of using Zaha. Zaha has obvious advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages: He is very good at dribbling and breaking through, with quick feet and fast impact. In the first team career for nearly a year, his team awareness, including the timing of passing, has been greatly improved.
But this kid's shortcomings are also obvious. He is not good at grabbing points. He is not good at grabbing points at all. It can even be said that he has a big problem in grabbing points. He is not suitable for playing the center position at all. Even if he wants to play there, he is not good at it.
He can only play as a pseudo-center.
So despite what Wen Sheng said at the press conference, we have several people who can replace Vardy, but what the heck, we still have to use Alan Lee.
Alan Lee is actually a very hard-working player, but his ability is not very good. He has played for many British Championship teams before, and his scoring rate is not high. When he was young, he relied on his physical advantages to make a living. He was injured intermittently in the previous two years.
, causing his physical function to decline relatively quickly, it would be nice to have some magical performance occasionally.
But no matter what, he was the first one to be tried out. He has served as a substitute for many games this season, and has also been a starter. His tacit understanding with his teammates on the real battlefield is quite good.
It definitely won't work with Ryan Smith. He didn't even play. If he did, the game would become a real experiment. Where does Crystal Palace have the capital to do the experiment now?!
Wolves are a good opponent, ranked at the bottom of the table, and they are not strong themselves.
In the home game on the 20th, Crystal Palace played very easily. This responsibility also has to go to the opponent's head coach McCarthy. Sometimes the head coach is right to insist on his own tactical concepts, but when you face different opponents, you have to be prepared.
, you have to change, you can't cling to your own routine.
Crystal Palace's condition is obviously so good, but McCarthy insists on handing over to Crystal Palace in the midfield. To be honest, maybe he doesn't trust his defense very much, which makes the team adopt a relatively active defensive posture. Crystal Palace's control is actually quite overwhelming.
It's so strong. Ancelotti already said it, so how can it be fake?!
But McCarthy didn't believe this evil, and was killed several times by Crystal Palace using the same tactics of "luring the enemy deep and counterattacking with long passes".
4:0, the same score as last season's FA Cup. Now that everyone is on the same level, Wolves still can't get any favors from Crystal Palace. Even worse, they didn't play any decent offense at all.
"I think McCarthy is really screwed up! It's a miracle that they don't get relegated this season!" Wen Sheng doesn't know whether the Wolves will be relegated in the end this season, but judging from McCarthy's unrepentant personality, he feels that the Wolves will not be relegated.
Weird.
Didn't McCarthy do a good enough job? You can't say that. Didn't he lead the Wolves to avoid relegation last season? But last season was last season. You thought everyone was a fool. The tactics you used last season, this
The season is not necessarily good. The reason why good coaches are good coaches is because they can assess the situation.
