239. stalemate
Lao Lei understood Crystal Palace's strategy. De Bruyne dropped his position deeper and made full use of his ability to pass the ball behind the Crystal Palace defense. De Bruyne's long pass is very distinctive, not high but high.
The ball is fast and the most important thing is relatively accurate. Crystal Palace's playing style is basically to directly pass through Tottenham's midfield defense and hit their defense.
Coupled with three fast forwards, this style of play is quite threatening.
Regarding the control of the backcourt, Lao Lei also understood that this should be a strategy to lure the enemy deeper, but he still wanted to grab the opening.
What Lao Lei really thinks is this. External media always say that Crystal Palace has one less day of rest than Tottenham, but is it really that their physical fitness is worse than that of Tottenham, which has a full staff?!
Lao Lei doesn't think so. The Crystal Palace players are young, can run, and are obedient and strong in executing tactics. Unlike the old guys at Tottenham, for example, Van der Vaart has the ability, but you let him run aggressively.
He's not good, he doesn't play that way, and Pavlyuchenko, for example, doesn't have the ability to move quickly. Secondly, they faced Milan in midweek, and Milan's game really cost Tottenham a lot.
Physical fitness, and who the Crystal Palace faced was Sparta Prague. That team did not give the Crystal Palace any test at all. Lao Lei felt that the Crystal Palace just got on a plane and went to Prague for a tour and then brought a small game
Victory is back.
So Lao Lei felt that I had no advantage, so he wanted to start the attack with a wave.
But Lao Lei didn't even think about how it could limit Crystal Palace's backcourt control precisely because of their lack of mobility and high-post pressing, which was not their usual routine.
Lao Lei quickly issued instructions to the team, no longer pressing high, but retracting the formation, relying on two fast players on the wing to move in near the midfield, forming the first line of defense against Crystal Palace in the midfield.
Lao Lei still has the goods. After all, he has been struggling for so many years and has no ability at all.
Their style is relatively tough, and they frequently rely on their bodies and fouls to stop Crystal Palace from advancing. This style has a typical British style in it.
Don't underestimate the use of the body and fouls. This has a lot to do with the formation of the Premier League style.
Fans have the impression that the style of the Premier League is fast, with a fast pace of conduction and attack, and widespread physical contact contributes to this style, for example.
The same kind of physical contact may constitute a foul in other leagues, but it is not a foul in the Premier League. This causes many teams to wonder why I don't actively use my body?!
Therefore, everyone's defensive posture is often proactive, which means that they will take the initiative to attack instead of relying on numerical advantage and positioning advantage to contain the opponent's transmission. They will successfully intercept the opponent's ball, so the ball in the Premier League
Rights exchange is very frequent, and the statistics are higher than other leagues.
In this case, when the ball is intercepted, it is the best plan to pass it forward quickly, because at this time, the opponent may still have a large gap, which results in the fast-paced style of the Premier League.
Tottenham's style is like this, but Crystal Palace is not that style. When he gradually discovered that Tottenham's fast-paced interception of the ball was indeed causing trouble for himself, Wen Sheng immediately asked his players to slow down the pace.
"Slow down the tempo!" Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines and pressed down with his hands. He still had to attract his opponent to come out, and he had to hit both wings and use his speed.
The advantage of slowing down the pace is not only to attract opponents, but more importantly, it is conducive to the stability of Crystal Palace's defense. In the case of fast pace, if the midfielder loses the ball too easily, it will definitely cause the defense to fall into a dangerous situation. Wen Sheng believes that he
Even though the defense has kept a few zeros, it is not necessarily reliable. The key lies in whether the midfield can provide enough protection. If the rhythm slows down, everyone's positioning can be better.
The game entered a stalemate, with each other's offense and defense. Crystal Palace played better, while Tottenham played slightly worse.
As the game progressed, Crystal Palace always had the luck to almost score.
De Bruyne played very well. Like Dalglish, Lao Lei felt De Bruyne's jumping out of the attacking midfielder position. This kid is really good.
In the 16th minute, Tottenham's fast break was interrupted. De Bruyne, a master of art, was brave and passed three Tottenham double-team players in his own half. The ball seemed to be under his feet.
Not to mention, the key point was that the ball was passed 30 meters wildly, and Tottenham was able to counterattack. Unfortunately, Vardy hit the post and failed to live up to De Bruyne's performance.
De Bruyne's performance made the Crystal Palace fans at the scene soar with adrenaline, causing everyone to scream in surprise.
On the other hand, Tottenham's young player Bell, I don't know if he used too much force against Milan. His performance today was very average. He once tried to overtake Klein on the sideline, but the overtaking failed and Klein got stuck and fell to the sideline.
.
Lao Lei continued to express his dissatisfaction, thinking that Klein had committed a foul.
Referee Anthony Taylor ignored Lao Lei's dissatisfaction.
To be honest, Crystal Palace is a relatively clean team in the Premier League. To be precise, it is the cleanest team. No team has fewer yellow and red cards than them.
The reason why Wen Sheng was praised by the media for his strong tactical ability is mainly because Crystal Palace does rely more on the system in terms of defensive organization. Most of the goals conceded are due to the players' limited personal abilities and frequent unforced errors. No one can do anything about it.
In the previous game against Manchester United, Crystal Palace suffered a loss from the referee. Now everyone is a little cautious when officiating Crystal Palace. Just kidding, if Crystal Palace suffers another loss, it will be hard to explain.
Tottenham are the ones who love to commit fouls today, especially when facing Crystal Palace's counterattacks. Their defensive players always like to use fouls to give Crystal Palace a chance to set the ball. Wen Sheng guessed that Lao Lei probably studied that his own set kicks are not good, so he
So unscrupulous.
"Damn it, I'll practice my set pieces from now on! Let's see if you dare to be arrogant next time you meet me?!" Wen Sheng was so angry that he couldn't help it. In the previous 20 minutes, Crystal Palace got the opponent three times.
There are no set-piece opportunities outside the penalty area. There is indeed a shortcoming in this aspect.
The first half passed very quickly, and the 45 minutes came quickly. The two sides scored 0:0 on the court.
Wen Sheng was dissatisfied because the team's rhythm was not controlled well enough. He hoped that the team would not play too hastily and control the rhythm to prevent Tottenham from playing fast. However, the team did not do a very good job.
gave Tottenham a chance, but also gave Tottenham a chance.
"We are playing too hastily! We must try to avoid the impact of the opponent's speed! You are too fast, who will you leave the defensive problems to solve?! Let the defense solve it by itself?! If we want to win, we must establish a solid defense.
!”
"The overall movement of the team is a bit messy. When the suppression is over, the formation must move up as a whole!"
Wen Sheng criticized the team nonchalantly. It wasn't that he didn't want everyone to attack, he just thought it was too easy for everyone to pass the ball.
"We're going to make them run! Move! We're going to make them run!"
"Slow is fast, fast is slow! This is the rhythm, this is the rhythm we need to play, instead of forgetting the feeling of rhythm while kicking!"
The players drank water while listening to Wen Sheng's comments. The fifteen-minute break almost passed by Wen Sheng's comments.
Players from both sides returned to the court. Crystal Palace was more patient and did not pass back when there was no chance. Occasionally, the winger would make a breakthrough, and De Bruyne would make a breakthrough, creating a threat to the opponent, but most of the time they were stable.
no.
Lao Lei thought Wen Sheng was a bit rogue, but he could do something about it. His team was not used to setting up a bus. In the second half, as the midfielder was exhausted and their physical fitness declined, Crystal Palace was increasingly able to seize gaps.
Chapter completed!
