Because he felt that the players were in good condition, Wen Sheng indicated on the sidelines that the formation could move forward a little to give more support to the frontcourt. It would be great if he could score a goal at this time.

Boas was a little anxious.

Porto does have rich experience in European competitions, but it has been so many years since the last European finals. These players have never played in European finals. Condition is something that cannot be explained clearly. Porto players cannot control the field.

In this situation, mistakes sometimes happened, and he couldn't understand them.

He was much more graceful than the dancing Wen Sheng. He yelled a few words on the sidelines to remind the players to pay attention to defense, then he said nothing and just observed quietly.

In the 4th minute, Crystal Palace posed another threat in front of the goal. Klose passed the ball outside the penalty area. Mertens dribbled the ball with a simple change of rhythm, leaving a slight gap in front of Sapunaru and shooting.

The quality of this shot was really good, the curve ball went straight to the back corner.

Hilton's movements were very smooth, but there was nothing he could do. Unfortunately, it was the goal post that helped. Mertens' shot hit the goal post, bounced out, and was cleared by the Porto defender.

"Oh!" Wen Sheng knelt on the ground in regret, this ball was really too dangerous.

This is the characteristic of Mertens. He may suffer a lot when holding the ball outside the penalty area, but sometimes defenders have to be more disciplined in the penalty area and not dare to be too arrogant. Mertens happens to have a flexible body and a desire to shoot.

It's relatively strong, and he can hit it whenever there is an opening.

Villas-Boas felt that the central defender was not occupying a very good defensive position, so he was quite angry and yelled at the players on the field.

To be honest, Rolando and Otamendi's positioning is not necessarily bad. They also know Mertens' characteristics, but their understanding is definitely not clear. Mertens is good at small spaces, and a gap may be enough.

The shot is more sudden and he won't make too many adjustments.

In the Portuguese Super League, some forwards may not choose to shoot in such a situation, and may move out of the way, but Mertens does not. Wen Sheng once analyzed his technical characteristics with him and encouraged him.

Refine your shooting skills and shoot when there is a gap.

Wen Sheng felt that it was obviously not a reliable choice for Mertens to grab points in the center of the penalty area, so he had to suddenly hit the angle in the corner.

In any case, the two central defenders and Sapunalu who defended Mertens have got a taste of it. Of course, they may not be able to completely block Mertens. They have teammates in the middle to support them, and Mertens

Tens is more flexible, while Sapunalu and the other three are relatively tall.

The turning disadvantage is relatively large. The shorter Otamendi is faster, but he is a left center back and cannot defend Mertens.

Crystal Palace's attack paid off.

De Bruyne, Klein, Derry, and Klose passed the ball continuously. De Bruyne cut inside and then passed through. Vardy understood it and successfully countered offside. He faced the attacking Hilton on the left side of the small penalty area and shot the ball.

Easily sent into Porto's net.

"Yes! yes! yes!" Wen Sheng roared three times and punched in celebration!

Crystal Palace fans were excited. Before the game, Crystal Palace was not a team that was favored. Wen Sheng, who even boasted of the cup, has become one of their weaknesses. Some experts believe that the Crystal Palace team has no experience, and Wen Sheng is a team that has no experience.

The head coach also has no experience, but Porto is different. They have experience, their forward players are strong, and they have scored many goals in the Europa League.

But in this game, it still depends on the state and on-the-spot performance.

"Well done! Jamie!" Elizabeth jumped up in the stands and hugged the elated Cheryl next to her. The two women were as excited as the Crystal Palace fans.

"So damn beautiful!" The senior management of the club and the famous stars of Crystal Palace also beamed with joy. As Wen Sheng said, entering the final was like a dream. At this point, who doesn't want to win the championship?!

In fact, the Europa League championship is really worthless. Even if Crystal Palace wins the championship, all the game bonuses combined will not be equivalent to one-third of the Champions League team's group stage bonuses.

Therefore, Parish and other senior management are not particularly enthusiastic about the Europa League. In the competition for the top four, there is no suspense about the top four. But now, in the end, this thing is also honor. Don't pursue money, pursue honor.

.

If they can win the championship, they will also be the first chairman to lead Crystal Palace to win the FA Cup and Europa League. They will leave a strong mark in the history of Crystal Palace in the future.

Vardy was pinned by his teammates at the corner flagpole and almost suffocated. Everyone was excited and praised Vardy's agility. Of course, De Bruyne, who boasted about 20 Lang, was indispensable.

De Bruyne passed the ball while running, and he has a clear understanding of Vardy. Otamendi's speed is not particularly bad, but compared with Vardy, it is not good. His explosive power cannot be compared, and Porto's defense

The formation was compressed enough that Vardy's speed allowed him to complete the shot before Hilton struck.

If it had been Klose, this ball might not have worked.

The football field is full of accidents, but many accidents are inevitable. Vardy's anti-offside response is destined to be a big threat.

Boas was depressed and expressed his irritability.

He couldn't understand how Crystal Palace found Belgium and how it fell in love with a player like De Bruyne, whose passing was so good.

Of course he doesn't know that De Bruyne has very strong assist ability. In Wen Sheng's original world, people would assist more than 20 every season, but now it's just drizzle. Speaking of which, De Bruyne hasn't completed his task this season.

It was really not finished, the goals and assists were just a little short of each other.

Pereira used to be very good at getting assists in Porto, but today, at least for the moment, he was really overwhelmed by the combination of De Bruyne and Klein. Just now, he was not marking people tightly and was unauthorized.

He left his position and moved to the middle with De Bruyne. If De Bruyne were to move to the wing again, Klein would also cause some trouble for Porto.

The celebration ended and the game restarted. Porto adopted another method, using their bodies and making relatively large defensive moves, which forced Caballo to interrupt the game. This was a hidden danger for Porto. Sooner or later, they would have to get cards, but for the game

But it was a good strategy, at least they disrupted Crystal Palace's offensive rhythm.

"Despicable and shameless!" Wen Sheng cursed secretly. This kind of trick is not uncommon on the football field.

The foul is far from bad, it just forces you to restart the ball, and then they're already in position and you have to slow down the tempo.

Wen Sheng began to ask the players to recycle appropriately and prepare for rainy days to prevent the opponent's counterattack.

Porto is in poor condition, but Wen Sheng also has to guard against the opponent's counterattack. Porto's trident counterattack ability is very good.

The Crystal Palace players simply slowed down the pace according to Wen Sheng's instructions, and their playing style became more similar to the previous model, with more control in the backcourt and a fast attack in the frontcourt, allowing De Bruyne to organize everyone to perform, including the defensive midfielder and defense.

It's not easy to press on.

The consequence of this is that the number of goals conceded in the frontcourt begins to increase, and Porto's possession time continues to increase.

Villas-Boas did not want his players to play too impatiently. On the contrary, he asked the team to control the ball and advance slowly. During the passing process, everyone can find their status.

In the first ten minutes, they played very frustratingly. Not to mention the goal, the scene was a bit ugly. They were suppressed by Crystal Palace. The poor condition of the players was visible to the naked eye, so Villas-Boas's strategy was very good.

Strategy.

Wen Sheng's reaction to Porto was not surprising, he just frowned. Of course he expected his opponent to be in the best condition and perform poorly throughout the game.
Chapter completed!
