297. Second-year students
As second-year students, the first problem Crystal Palace faces is that people have to guard against them and will not take them lightly like last season.
The second problem is the players. Many players are also sophomores. NBA players have a rookie wall, and the football world is no exception. Other teams will definitely study the technical characteristics of Crystal Palace players and formulate corresponding tactics.
Strategies and restrictions, in the new season they will no longer be ignored by others like last season.
On the contrary, people will increase the restrictions on them. If players want to perform calmly, they will definitely need a lot of strength and make changes.
The third problem is tactical. In response to the first and second problems, Crystal Palace must make innovations and changes in tactics. In the past, they could rely on counterattacks to solve problems, but now they have to spend energy on offense.
Because it is impossible for others to regard Crystal Palace as a relegation team. In fact, this has gradually been reflected since the second half of last season.
Wen Sheng has already planned the mad dog style tactics, plagiarizing Uncle Zha's tactics, but how to implement them needs to be carefully considered, and the team needs to slowly adjust.
Of course, Wen Sheng will not completely plagiarize Uncle Zha's tactics. He will definitely make some adjustments, mainly to fully unleash the offensive capabilities of the full-backs on both sides and allow them to press forward boldly.
The brilliant record achieved last season made everyone feel happy. Of course, as a reborn person, Wen Sheng is proud and proud, but he still remembers his goal, which is to be better!
The members of the coaching staff are different. Goalkeeper coach Webster is the oldest and has played for Southampton for many years. However, the championship has nothing to do with Southampton. Even he is in high spirits, let alone the others.
.
Now that Wen Sheng pointed out the team's major difficulties one by one, everyone couldn't help but look condensed and felt the pressure.
Seeing that everyone was aware of the difficulties they were about to face, Wen Sheng smiled and said: "Difficulties will always exist! The pursuit of football is endless! There is only better, not the best! Don't be too stressed, just do whatever you want.
Yes, we have done our job well, I believe we still have a lot of potential to tap! Don’t forget that we have done a good job in recruiting this season!”
Everyone relaxed a lot now and started discussing the signings for this season.
Wen Sheng is more optimistic about Melo. He believes that Melo has experience in playing for wealthy clubs and has strong adaptability. He should be able to quickly adapt to the team's tactical needs. However, Joey said that Melo has a bad temper and is always playing cards.
Hawking joked that maybe his cards wouldn't be so easy to win in the Premier League. After all, the Premier League's penalty standards are notoriously loose.
However, Wen Sheng was secretly vigilant and planned to have a good chat with Melo after he returned to the team. Following the voice of knowledgeable people, although the penalty scale of the Premier League is still relatively large, it is no longer as loose as before. Melo is still
You have to pay attention to controlling your emotions. In the new season, he regards Melo as Kante's main partner.

After a meeting with the coaching staff, Wen Sheng accepted Parish's invitation to have dinner with the club owner in the evening.
During the meal, Wen Sheng and Parrish made a good suggestion, which was to upgrade the team's scouting system.
Due to the turmoil in Crystal Palace in 2010 and the fact that Simon Jordan had long wanted to let go, the scouting system was relatively poor. If nothing else, who did Warnock buy? Basically, it all depends on price.
The real leaders in the Crystal Palace are either Derry and Crystal Palace veterans like Speroni, or a group of young players from the Crystal Palace youth training, and these young players are all, without exception, South Londoners born and raised in Croydon or the surrounding areas.
.
In the past, Crystal Palace has been in the lower leagues for a long time, not to mention the scouting system. Now it is third in the league. It is quite difficult to find a candidate list this summer.
"My suggestion is this. First, we can cooperate with data companies. They have a lot of player data, and we can get intelligence from them! Second, we need to establish a professional analysis team, and scouts will conduct on-site analysis of the players.
Summarize the inspection, analyze their actual performance, and then determine the goals!”
Wen Sheng is also suffering from the poor scouting system of the team. After all, he is not a computer, and players cannot be reported in one go.
This summer, let’s talk about transfers from Crystal Palace, such as Mkhitaryan’s deal. Let the club handle it, and it will cost more.
"The team can only maintain its stability if it has stable hematopoietic function! Southampton is a good example! It is worth learning from!"
Southampton's youth training is famous in England and even around the world. Wen Sheng actually doesn't care much about the team's youth training, but when he met with Parish today, he finally felt that it was his "hometown team" and should be given some
Suitable advice.
What Parrish is currently thinking about is winning lottery tickets, not youth training. He hopes that Wen Sheng can find a way to turn semi-finished products into superstars.
This is indeed the way, but it is a pity that Wen Sheng is not Guidolin or Wenger.
Even training is additional.
Parrish was most concerned about the cost, so he asked Wen Sheng how much it would cost.
Wen Sheng felt that it would not cost much to upgrade the scouting system, and casually said that it could be done for about one million pounds.
This price is really not nonsense. First of all, if you sign a contract with a data company and ask for data, the contract amount is not large. Secondly, the scouting system is nothing more than to dig out some high-quality scouts, and the main payment is salary, which is not too much.
Of course, including travel expenses, etc., Wen Sheng guessed that the total would only be a little over one or two million pounds a year, so why not?!
This price is still acceptable to Parrish.
If the team's youth training system is upgraded, like Southampton's, it requires upgrading the base, purchasing facilities, expanding the recruitment, and establishing a complete age echelon. The cost is not small. He is not willing to spend so much money, but upgrade first.
The scouting system is still OK.
He immediately agreed to Wen Sheng's suggestion.
As the saying goes, if you want to win the crown, you must bear its weight. Wen Sheng envied the powerful scouting system of big clubs to find suitable players for the team, but he also knew that being a coach at Crystal Palace was simple and he did not have to worry about many things, so he naturally had to accept it.
Sometimes you are not able to enjoy certain benefits.
It is said that because of this, Wen Sheng has actually avoided conflicts with the poor man Parrish in many cases. It is a pleasure for everyone to cooperate. If Wen Sheng takes too much care, it will not be dissatisfied. I guess everyone will soon be dissatisfied.
They will part ways.
After talking about this matter, Wen Sheng discussed the right back with Parish again. Parish was not very happy to bring in Glen Johnson. First of all, Johnson's weekly salary in Liverpool was as high as 100,000 pounds, and he came to Crystal Palace.
Can it be dropped?! Obviously it is impossible for Johnson in his playing years.
Secondly, with the addition of household registration, the price of Glenn Johnson will not be low.
So Parrish tried to convince Wen Sheng not to buy Johnson, thinking it was not a good deal.
Wen Sheng doesn't want to buy Johnson, but as a backup, Johnson is definitely the most suitable.
Parrish pretended that this matter was not urgent. Our main target was Maggio. If Maggio could do it, why bother asking for Glenn Johnson?
Maggio's salary in Naples is extremely low, less than one million euros after tax. Crystal Palace can provide him with a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds, which has more than doubled after tax, and in terms of transfer fees
It's definitely not more expensive than Johnson. Now it's just that damn De Laurentiis insisting on it.
