201. Positioning the ball

If Alan Lee could maintain his position in the penalty area, Wen Sheng would not mind feeding Alan Lee the ball at all. The problem was that he could not maintain his position at all and was at the bottom in several confrontations with Huth and Shawcross.

, its tactical role is almost just a containment, and it can’t do well in the ball game either.

He is not in good condition and his characteristics are completely different from Vardy's.

Vardy's playing style after he became enlightened was just like what Wen Sheng said. He was very roaming and was not limited to the penalty area. He would often withdraw outside the penalty area, assume Boateng's role, let Boateng sprint, and then

Under its cover, it repeatedly rushes into the opponent's defense line, making it difficult for the opponent to guard against it.

In addition to this move, teammates seem to be familiar with his running positions. They often pass the ball behind the opponent's defender based on Vardy's characteristics, and Vardy can succeed.

But Allen Lee can't do it. He has no speed. Sometimes he can only serve as a fulcrum in counterattacks and cannot directly face the goal.

Therefore, when using such a tall center forward, it is of course a good thing when he can act as a fulcrum for counterattacks. There is a high probability that the speed and rhythm of advancement will have to be slowed down. It is best to use him as a fulcrum in the penalty area, which can enhance the threat of Crystal Palace to the opponent's gate.

Spend.

The reason Wen Sheng was considering this game was based on the characteristics of Allen Lee and the characteristics of his opponent's tactics. He did not set a random tone.

But now Alan Lee is completely useless. Wen Sheng wants to replace Zaha. Zaha has a try. Compared with Vardy, his characteristics are many disadvantages. For example, his running without the ball is poor, and his body is not as good as Vardy. Vardy

Thin, but still strong.

Zaha's advantages are excellent dribbling, strong propulsion ability with the ball, and he can move on the wing and enter the penalty area in the middle. Hehe, it will be more or less the same after practice.

But seeing Allen Lee acting like this now, Wen Sheng inevitably has the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a doctor.

"Let's try again after halftime. Give Allen some time. Maybe he will be in better shape in the second half!" During the first half, Wen Sheng and the coaching staff discussed Allen's problem on the sidelines. Lawrence

On the way into the locker room, he persuaded Wen Sheng, who was hesitant.

So at the end of the halftime break, Crystal Palace did not make any substitutions, but Stoke City made substitutions instead, and Delap was replaced by Faye.

Wen Sheng, Lawrence, and Hawking were sitting on the coach's bench and smiled knowingly. They only served a sideline ball in the first half, and Delap injured himself. This is really...

Faye is a Senegalese central defender. He can also play in the defensive midfield position. He is 1.87 meters tall and is a tall man.

"They really deserve to be full of people!" Wen Sheng joked.

"There are so many people here that we can only play defense. If we really want to attack, it's not a good idea to have people with us!" Lawrence commented, shaking his head.

This does not need to be explained too much. Charles Hughes's theory has been poisoning the British mainland for many years. The poor performance of the English national team and English clubs in the European competition is proof of this. Those who follow that method in the country cannot win the championship.

As long as there are no major problems with the central defenders playing Benatia and Van Dijk and paying attention to two points of protection, the opponent has no hope at all.

Faye is tall. Since Stoke City usually retreats the midfield and back line deeper when they are not in possession of the ball, he does not need a large coverage like Kante or Dery, and his defensive function will be reflected.

become more obvious.

Pulis's move of holding chess was to strengthen the defense. He couldn't control Wen Sheng's pulse, and took advantage of Delap's injury to further strengthen the defense.

There is no reason why Lawrence and the others can't see through this substitution. Everyone has been involved in this scene for so many years, how can they not understand it.

"He also has good intentions. It seems that Tony doesn't want to lose!" Wen Sheng joked.

"Who wants to lose?! Although we didn't create any absolute chances in the first half, they were under enough pressure. It's normal for Pulis to behave like this!" Hawking interjected to comment.

"Then come and see if he can hold on!" Wen Shenghao suddenly became angry.

Pulis found that Crystal Palace had changed its strategy. In the first half, the opponent penetrated more in the middle. At the beginning of the second half, Crystal Palace began to play on the wing, especially with more personal dribbling. Mertens has gradually adapted to the defensive posture here.

Learn to use your body.

To be honest, the style of the Premier League has gradually changed. The reason for this change is that teams such as Stoke City and Wigan play rough football. Arsenal's forward Eduardo had his leg broken. Ramsey had his leg broken again last season.

, Mr. Wenger’s appeal is not without effect. There have been many changes in the penalty scale. The referee will no longer turn a blind eye to rough actions as before.

Wen Sheng knew that the change in this trend would turn out to be extremely harsh. He might have escaped the referee's attention on the court, but he would most likely not be able to escape it off the court and would be punished and suspended by the disciplinary committee.

Wen Sheng does not want Mertens to fall to the ground at will, because set pieces are not his side's advantage at all. He hopes that Mertens can use breakthroughs to tear apart the opponent's defensive system.

But Mertens's small body is like that, and he can't do it without falling to the ground.

Clattenburg blew the whistle frequently to signal fouls committed by Stoke City. If he blew too much, Stoke City would inevitably be very dissatisfied. The fans and their players in the stadium were very unhappy, but Clattenburg was very good and was not affected by this pressure.

, you still have to blow when you should.

The dissatisfaction of the Stoke City players gradually began to feed back into the football itself, and they really started to be rude to the Crystal Palace players.

After being unable to get the ball for a long time and being teased all the time, everyone was upset.

"Look, look!" Wen Sheng flew towards the fourth official Mike Dean, "He kicked someone! Three times! Three times!"

He has always remembered the number of fouls committed by Whitehead. Whitehead kicked a dribbling ball and broke through his Kante. It was an obvious foul. Clattenburg's whistle sounded, but Whitehead was not given a yellow card, which made him very dissatisfied.

.

In the 65th minute, De Bruyne and Klein played a beautiful two-on-one on the wing. Klein went down and passed the ball in an inverted triangle. When Boateng was about to shoot from the outside of the penalty area, he was blocked.

Heithead tackled him fiercely, and only then did Clattenburg give him a yellow card.

Wen Sheng was dissatisfied. This kick was quite cruel. Boateng was trying to grab a point and had no time to take into account the surrounding defensive situation. He was hit firmly by the tackle.

Boateng covered his ankle in pain, Wen Sheng was quite worried, he couldn't get hurt!

"Do you want Kevin to prepare?!" Lawrence came over and asked Wen Sheng.

"Don't be busy yet, let's take a look at the situation!" Wen Sheng didn't want to replace Boateng. Boateng has integrated quickly this season. As long as you find the instructions for using him, Boateng is quite easy to use. This season he is all

The player who has scored the most goals for the team so far is proof of this.

Soon Boateng stood up from the ground and was in good condition.

Wen Sheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"This bastard Whitehead deserves a red card. This is a very malicious foul!" Wen Sheng cursed angrily.

The distance of the free kick is very close, right on the penalty area line. It is really difficult to score a goal from this position.

So far this season, Crystal Palace has never scored a direct free kick.

De Bruyne, Klein, and Mertens all stood in front of the ball, discussing how to take the set kick. Passing the ball must be boring. It is designated to hit the goal, but it is difficult to score if it is too close. The opponent is high

There are so many people, it is not easy to get around the wall.

After the three young men discussed it, they all decided to take the penalty.

Clattenberg's whistle sounded. Klein's fake shot did not touch the ball, and Mertens' fake shot did not touch the ball. De Bruyne made a quick connection in the end and worked wonders with his strength. The ball flew like a cannonball towards Begovic's defender.

Half side.
