Crystal Palace suppressed Liverpool so hard that it was difficult for them to get the ball. De Bruyne's one-touch ability, coupled with the support given to him by Kante and Delhi, made it difficult for Liverpool to intercept the ball in the midfield position.

Next, they can only retreat and limit Crystal Palace's possession of the ball through increased defensive density.

Dalglish originally hoped that his team would not be like this, but what can he do?! Why is it said in football that the midfielder is the best in the world? This has a certain reason.

If you can't control the midfield, you can only retreat, otherwise you will press high. Damn, the wide players on both sides of Crystal Palace want you to play like this.

Dalglish knows what bullshit the pride of a wealthy club says, but don't take it too seriously. The only way out is to score points. You must know that Liverpool only has 25 points now.

In the 24th minute, Crystal Palace had a chance to fight. Klose came out of the penalty area from the center position and played a wonderful one-two with De Bruyne, and then shot in the penalty area.

Tintin's strength was still very strong, Reina missed the save, and no one knew when Mertens ran out like a ghost and shot the ball into the net.

Crystal Palace finally equalized the score.

The Crystal Palace fans at home quickly burst into excitement, "Oh oh oh! Goal!!!!!"

The opponent was Liverpool. Mertens ran to the corner and waved his fists at the fans frantically, as if to tell the fans that we were capable of winning the game.

Wen Sheng stood calmly on the sidelines, still letting Joey hold him while he danced.

In his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief. Twenty minutes had passed since he conceded the goal. If he could not equalize the score, the team players would probably become mentally exhausted, which might give Liverpool an opportunity.

In the last ten minutes, there is no doubt that our team has the absolute initiative and absolute advantage, but it is not that the opponent has no chance to counterattack. It is just Crystal Palace's strong individual defense that prevents Liverpool from succeeding.

Liverpool lacks breakthrough players. Kuyt is not the kind of winger with strong breakthrough ability. In fact, he has been working as a forward in the Eredivisie for a long time. When he arrived at Liverpool, he also played as a center forward and a winger.

In the Eredivisie, he is famous for scoring goals, not breakthroughs.

As for Jovanovic, he played as a left winger and did not cause any trouble to Klein. His only contribution was Torres' goal, and he had a containment effect.

At that time, his position on the wing prevented Klein from completely focusing on the center to help defend Torres.

Now that the score has finally been equalized, Wen Sheng believes that everyone can rebuild their confidence and perform more and better.

Shortly after the restart, Hawking ran over and said to Wen Sheng: "The defense is too far behind them!"

Wen Sheng nodded: "This must be because the old man Dalglish saw that I wanted to use the wing to attack, so they recovered the wing. In addition, it was difficult for them to gain momentum in the midfield, and the shrinkage was all our own fault."

Wen Sheng grabbed Klein on the sidelines and said, "Tell everyone to recycle a little more, control the ball more in the backcourt, and attract them out. Positional warfare is difficult! They defend very tightly."

In fact, the biggest disadvantage for Crystal Palace in the frontcourt attack is their body. Liverpool's defense is physically strong enough.

Therefore, playing positional warfare is actually not a good choice for Crystal Palace. The characteristics of forward players are very good and distinct, but letting them play Barcelona-style intensive defense with small-scale passing and cutting and tearing apart the opponent's defense can occasionally be done, most of the time.

They couldn't do it at all. They could only let the ball circle around or make personal breakthroughs, and the effect was not ideal.

What's more, the tighter the defense is, the more people are in the opponent's penalty area, making it difficult to find space for shooting. If it weren't for the dexterous cooperation between Klose and De Bruyne and De Bruyne's good timing of shooting,

In fact, had he hesitated for just one more second, De Bruyne might not have had a chance to shoot.

Suppression is not a good method. Crystal Palace is not a team that plays defensive counterattack now. Their style has gradually evolved. They are evolving from a passive defensive counterattack of an underdog to a team that takes the initiative to attack with the ball. This is a team that gradually changes as the players

It is natural to grow and gradually stabilize the formation, and it is also a process guided by Wen Sheng's tactical thinking.

Wen Sheng's request for players to control the ball just now was actually mainly to give the players a break, adhering to the concept of making the ball more secure at their feet.

Anyone who has played football knows that when playing football, you always want the ball to be at your own feet, not at the opponent's feet. If the ball is at the opponent's feet, you will always feel some psychological pressure and uncertainty.

I don’t know how others organize and attack.

Professional players will have much less psychological pressure during long-term training games, but it cannot be said that it is not there. Crystal Palace conceded the ball too quickly at the beginning. Wen Sheng did not want the players to lose their confidence. He needed the players to cheer up again, so

Controlling the ball to suppress the opponent is undoubtedly the best way, because he deliberately emphasizes controlling the ball and playing positional warfare.

In fact, he doesn't attach much importance to ball possession at all, nor does he advocate hard-hitting attacks. Focusing on ball possession is just a status quo caused by certain specific reasons.

He is now telling Klein that he needs to strengthen the passing and control in the backcourt, which can be regarded as the first change of tactics. The key depends on what Grealish thinks, whether he wants to win or a draw.

If he wants to win, he must attack now. Liverpool could not maintain a high-intensity run in the second half. The first half was their best practice.

If he wants a draw, he most likely won't rush out and just harass the Crystal Palace defense on the front line.

Dalglish was wearing a thick down jacket and standing on the sidelines, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wen Sheng didn't care so much. If Dalglish didn't attack, he would continue to play on both sides in the second half, attacking Liverpool's wings and grinding them to death.

Dalglish made his choice!

He chose to take a gamble!

The reason has been said thousands of times, he just needs a victory, and Liverpool also needs a victory.

Dalglish needs a victory more than Wen Sheng.

As the enemy retreats, we advance. As Crystal Palace frequently controls the backcourt, Liverpool's formation begins to push forward. Wen Sheng doesn't know if Dalglish knows about Liverpool's midfield problems. Anyway, Wen Sheng knows that their midfield must be terrible.

Wow cool.

As expected, just 6 minutes before Crystal Palace equalized the score, Liverpool's midfielder made a mistake. The previous time it was Lucas who failed to follow De Bruyne in the penalty area. This time it was Paulson who made another mistake.

The two-beat slow play allowed De Bruyne to calmly pass the ball, and then rush all the way to the opponent's penalty area, making a timely through pass. Klose relied on his instant explosive power to get a single chance, without giving Skrtel a chance behind him.

Klose easily pushed the ball into the far corner!

"YES!" Wen Sheng returned to his former mania at this time and celebrated passionately on the sidelines with fists pumping!

"Oh oh oh oh!" cried the Crystal Palace fans.

"It's worth it! It's so fucking worth it!" Wayne deliberately shouted in front of Parish and the others, "Look at his ball play and movement, Klose is truly a world-class killer!"

Parrish and the others had just woken up from the joy of overtaking at this time. Hearing Wayne yelling, Parrish and the other senior officials couldn't help but let out another sigh of relief.

In fact, bringing in Klose carries certain risks, but this is a business that everyone is willing to bet on. Breaking the salary structure, the senior management hopes that Klose can live up to his reputation.

Judging from the first two games, everyone was a little disappointed. People didn’t value those who played the ball or not. They were not coaches, so they didn’t view the tactical role of a forward like Wen Sheng did.

What they are most concerned about is whether Klose can take on the important task of scoring goals when Vardy is injured.

So after the first two games, the plug-and-play Klose seemed to be really old in the eyes of some people inside.

Wayne's scream was meant for those people.

"How could Daniel's vision be wrong?!" Morelli praised Wen Sheng. As for Mader, who originally provided the list, he was naturally ignored ruthlessly.
Chapter completed!
