Wen Sheng expressed his views on the Manchester United game a day or two ago, but he couldn't stand these reporters who wanted to make the matter bigger, so they asked Wen Sheng again today.

"I have already expressed my attitude. I said that I have another opinion about that game. I don't want to repeat it today! So I'm sorry, please don't ask about the last game again!"

In fact, the game was a disaster for Crystal Palace. First, three points were stolen, and then Mertens was suspended for insulting the referee after the game.

Parrish was also very stubborn. Without Wen Sheng's knowledge, he chose to appeal for Mertens. Well, damn it, now it's okay. It doesn't matter whether the referee has problems or not. Mertens was abusive when it mattered.

Walton was true. Naturally, his appeal was unsuccessful and the penalty was doubled. Mertens was actually suspended for four games.

His absence is very painful. The small Mertens does not seem to be as outstanding as De Bruyne, but this kid Wen Sheng thinks he is also a god. He scores goals quietly and assists quietly.

Both of Manchester United's goals were assisted by Mertens. His contribution to the team is indeed not small.

Compared to Zaha on the other side, Mertens is simply the future star to beat Crystal Palace.

Needless to say, his absence will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the team. Who can take his place?!

When it came to the make-up match with Manchester United, Wen Sheng couldn't even get angry, so it was better to talk as little as possible. After the game, Ferguson sent a text message to Wen Sheng to console him, saying that victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs, but Wen Sheng didn't reply a word!

Wen Sheng didn't believe in Ferguson time, but he was facing Ferguson. At this moment, he even hated Ferguson.

"Daniel, are you satisfied with your team's winter window transfer?!" a reporter asked.

"I'm very satisfied, Morali and the others did a great job!"

"Do you feel that the first-team lineup is too thin?! You must know that you will also face the Europa League in the second half of the season!"

"No, I think we have enough manpower to cope with the game! Patrick has returned and he is one of our most important signings in the winter window! The team does not need to maintain a large team. We now have 25 people in the first team, which is already

It's enough, I don't want the first team to be too big!"

Wen Sheng casually complained about too many games.

"Of course I have to say that we play a lot of games every season. To be honest, this hurts the players a lot. I think many coaches feel the same as me. I hope the league can have 18 teams!"

Wen Sheng really thinks so. He is too busy. Even he, the head coach, is extremely busy. Of course, the most important thing is that the team's coaching staff is not yet able to fully undertake some work and is still slowly adapting.

He needs to worry about everything, big and small. He often meets with Morelli, Mader and Parish, etc. Sometimes he also goes to the youth training academy to meet with Higham, and he has to arrange time to be interviewed by foreign media.

From time to time, Wei Zhong would come to him to discuss arrangements for coaches to go to China.

Not to mention that he had to find time to fall in love with Cheryl. He even celebrated his birthday in a hurry. Fortunately, Cheryl made preparations for his birthday early and had dinner with him, which finally did not let him forget his.

Birthday.

His complaints are complaints. From a practical point of view, this is not very practical. After all, these days, business interests are the main focus, and everything is to meet the needs of the fans. It will definitely be a good thing if the team can take a rest in the winter, but the fans

I don’t think the winter break is a good thing. It means that everyone will have no football to watch. How boring that would be.

When Patrick McCarthy attended the press conference with Wen Sheng today, he couldn't help but smile when he heard his boss complaining about the number of teams in the league. As a player, he didn't think there were really many games. If there was a reasonable rotation, the team actually seemed to be able to

It's not that painful. The key to the problem is that many teams don't rotate.

Not to mention other things, let’s just say that Crystal Palace basically has a fixed lineup. The only player in Crystal Palace who rotates frequently is the central defender. The central defender is obviously very important, but except for Benatia, the others are not up to standard, so Wen Sheng has to

Rotate them.

After the meeting, Wen Sheng and McCarthy walked out of the press conference together.

While walking, Wen Sheng suddenly said to McCarthy seriously, "Patrick, I'm really happy that you're back now! You've been with the team for a long time, and it was so good to work with Matt last season. Now I feel sorry for you

High expectations, I hope you can take responsibility! Perform well, we conceded a lot of goals in the first half of the season, I hope you can improve after returning!"

Wen Sheng really has high hopes for him, and this is not just a casual talk.

From the beginning of this season to now, Crystal Palace has played a total of 31 games in all competitions. How many goals have it conceded? It’s shocking to say it, 37 goals!

The average number of goals conceded per game has exceeded one. It is strange that such a number of goals conceded can satisfy Wen Sheng.

The season won't end until May. If we continue like this, we will have to concede more than 60 goals throughout the season. This is simply what Wen Sheng can tolerate.

So now Wen Sheng hopes that McCarthy's return can solve this problem.

He has already thought about the main lineup, which is to partner Benatia and McCarthy, and strive to have a regular main lineup in the second half of the season.

"Don't worry, boss! I will do my best!" McCarthy quickly expressed his determination. This was not the first time Wen Sheng said this to him. McCarthy also felt Wen Sheng's trust in him, so he was quite moved.

You must know that there is no shortage of central defenders in the team now. The recent wave of injuries has passed, and the central defender position is overcrowded. Wen Sheng said this at this time, undoubtedly telling McCarthy, I am going to let you be the main force.

"Of course you can't be impatient now. Let's slowly adapt to the rhythm of the game as a substitute! You haven't played for more than half a year, so don't be impatient!" Wen Sheng said with a smile.

McCarthy nodded. What Wen Sheng said makes sense. He has been participating in team training for some time and has been recovering to find his form. He also knows that he does not have the confidence to play in a hurry.

…..

On the evening of February 2nd, Crystal Palace welcomed West Ham United at home. Ever since Wen Sheng had a falling out with Grant in the last derby, the two of them had never spoken in private again. So much time had passed, and Wen Sheng finally

Before the game, Grant and Grant shook hands and had a pleasant conversation. Of course Grant had no reason to refuse the olive branch extended to Wen Sheng. We are all here for the team and are not real enemies.

Crystal Palace defeated West Ham 1:0 at home. The score was not very big, but this was not a reflection of the real situation. West Ham had no ability to parry.

Only ten minutes into the first half, Klose assisted Zaha to complete the goal. After that, West Ham's defense was always full of loopholes. Fortunately, Crystal Palace did not seize the opportunity.

Vardy finally came on as a substitute as usual, but he played the winger position and was replaced by Zaha. The team changed the formation to 442. He and Klose partnered as a double forward, and Klose was more like a shadow striker.

The effect was pretty good, after all, it was really difficult for the weak midfielder on the opposite side to create danger for Crystal Palace.

Vardy missed several good opportunities. He came on as a substitute in the last game and played a surprise role. This game had better opportunities, but he failed to seize them.

Wen Sheng, who was in a happy mood after the game, also joked that Vardy might not be wearing shooting boots.

The reporters couldn't tell whether Wen Sheng was really teasing him or not. After all, Vardy is a striker who slaps you in the face. When you say he is not good, he will slap you in the face. No one among the reporters will talk to him now.
