Mkhitaryan's attitude is good, which makes Wen Sheng satisfied and makes him confident in Mkhitaryan's future. Mertens's organizational skills are not good, but Mkhitaryan has the ability to organize. The task is just

It's risky to put pressure on De Bruyne alone. You can't put your eggs in one basket.

Soon the time arrived, Wednesday the 14th, in the evening.

Crystal Palace welcomed its first opponent in the Champions League group stage, Napoli.

Naples has steadily improved under the leadership of Mazzarri in recent years. They participated in the Europa League last season and further entered the Champions League this season. However, for them, their luck is really not very good, and they have been assigned to death.

As a team, not to mention Bayern Munich's strength, but Crystal Palace is also their victim.

Last season they were so frustrated that they didn't even qualify for the Europa League, and this season they have to add Villarreal. According to outside public opinion analysis, Naples seems to be the "weakest" team in the group.

Wen Sheng really wanted to win this game, and he made full preparations for this game, and even asked Ma Qiao for advice.

For Mazzarri, he also wants to win this game. He feels that Group A may be a chaotic battle and everyone has a chance, so at least they cannot lose against Crystal Palace away from home and it is ideal to get a point.

Wen Sheng basically played all the main players in this game. The goalkeeper position is still Speroni, the center back partners are Benatia and Van Dijk, the right back Macho, the left back Hills, and the midfielder is Melo.

, the partnership of Kante and De Bruyne, with Mertens, Klose and Aubameyang on the front line.

Wen Sheng's consideration for this game is to be stable and not to pursue too fast a pace. He knows that Naples in Mazzarri's away game will definitely not be so proactive, but the opponent will definitely use counterattacks as an important offensive weapon.

This group is inherently difficult. The team cannot be too aggressive like in the league. If you are not careful in such a game, the boat will capsize. Therefore, to be cautious, in this game, we must control the ball and fight for positional offense.

Klose's role was very crucial, so he made Vardy sit on the bench, and at the same time, in order to ensure the impact of the counterattack, he replaced Mkhitaryan with the extremely fast Aubameyang

.

Aubameyang's team awareness still needs to be improved, and he still needs to explore his role in the team. But fortunately, he has a positive attitude and is quite aware of returning to defense in training and is willing to run back.

As usual, Mazzarri discharged his own 343. He had 100,000 reasons not to let Maggio go, but in Italy, especially in Naples, the head coach is a bullshit. Will De Laurentiis listen to him?!

After Maggio left, the Germans introduced versatile midfielder Zemaili from Parma, and this player was used as the right midfielder.

As the first Champions League match in the history of the team, Crystal Palace fans responded with great enthusiasm for this match. During the public training sessions two days ago, hundreds of fans rushed to the training ground to cheer for the players. Today, the whole place was full.

, the flags of Selhurst Stadium were flying, as if it was built into a devil's home stadium.

Wen Sheng and Mazzarri shook hands and had a good talk. Mazzarri was a very talented head coach. Unfortunately, he failed to recover after his career at Inter Milan. The success of a head coach requires many factors. Just knowing tactics is not enough, and team management is also

A huge knowledge is indispensable. If you can't manage the team well, you won't be able to succeed at all.

Mazzarri couldn't handle that situation at Inter Milan, so he could only dismiss the team quietly.

After the game started, Naples wanted to get an early start and take some chances, but Crystal Palace obviously did not give them such a chance and controlled the game very calmly.

Wen Sheng knows that the general trend in football in the future is that the ball-playing abilities of goalkeepers and central defenders need to be improved.

Compared with tactics, which have no advantages or disadvantages, the improvement of the ball-playing ability of goalkeepers and central defenders is indeed a progress in the football world, because they will enrich the team's playing style.

To break the opponent's pressing defense, the goalkeeper's ability to handle the ball can play a very important role.

If you want to fight a counterattack, the long passing ability of the central defender and goalkeeper will play a good role.

Therefore, when Wen Sheng was at Crystal Palace, he always emphasized the goalkeeper's ability to play the ball. Speroni was also willing to make some changes, not to mention that he came from the Pampas and had good skills at his feet.

Naples' high press did not work. On the contrary, in the 3rd minute, Maggio's overhead long pass gave Aubameyang a shooting opportunity. However, the young man was a little impatient and his mentality was unstable after receiving the ball.

When the angle of the penalty area was very small, I chose to shoot wildly, but the effect was very bad, and the ball was sent directly to the stands.

Wen Sheng couldn't help but shook his head.

Aubameyang is indeed fast enough, but this ball is not an anti-offside goal. He is not a one-man goal. Facing Campagnaro's defense, the young man is still a little unsteady. If he can be steady, he chooses to go through and cut inside.

Another shot would be much better than a shot like this one that just swallowed the goal.

Aubameyang's problem is that he may be a little nervous, he is not confident in his own ability, and he has too little competition experience. He may be decisive, but he makes the wrong choice.

The fans in the stands didn't care about this. When they saw Aubameyang complete a shot, the Crystal Palace fans immediately applauded him and nakedly encouraged Aubameyang.

"The one who just completed the shot is the young player Aubameyang who just transferred from Milan to Crystal Palace this summer! His shot is a bit outrageous!" CCTV commentator Zhou Jin briefly introduced Aubameyang.

As a team led by a Chinese-American and with a Chinese player, Chinese sports stations will naturally focus on this game, not to mention that Hao Junmin appeared on the bench again in this game.

As early as this news came out, domestic media commentators in China began to hype the possibility of Hao Junmin playing. Everyone was very optimistic and believed that Crystal Palace, the new Champions League team, and Wen Sheng as the team's head coach would be very good.

It may be considered that Hao Junmin has experience in playing in the Champions League. This is experience and will allow Hao Junmin to play.

Unexpectedly, Wen Sheng did not use Mkhitaryan or Larsson, but instead used Aubameyang, which made everyone really regretful.

"Hao Junmin doesn't have that speed!" Teacher Zhang, who was still partnering with Zhou Jin, said it fairly, "The young man ran too fast! Little Cannavaro couldn't catch up with him from behind! He was just a little impatient in handling the ball!"

As the game continued, Crystal Palace began to gradually gain an advantage, controlling the ball very well and overwhelming the opponent.

Mazzarri's 343 has two strong players in the middle, Gargano and Inle, who spent 17 million euros to introduce from Udinese this summer. Both players are tough defensively and very active in running.

, Swiss international Inler also has a very good long-range shot.

The characteristic of Naples' offense is actually quick counterattack after intercepting the ball in the midfield and backcourt. Hamsik's first passing ability is good, but his organizational ability is average. In other words, Naples actually has poor organization and ball control against a team like Crystal Palace.

They all have obvious flaws, and as the game progresses, it’s not surprising that they fall behind in the game.

"This team of Crystal Palace cannot be underestimated!" Teacher Zhang praised, "Several players in their midfield can hold the ball. De Bruyne, a young man, is actually very capable despite his young age.

He can organize and break through, and has a wide range of activities. Look, even if Gargano and Inler are double-teaming today, he can still handle it with ease!"

De Bruyne is indeed in very good condition. In the 11th minute, he and Klose had a wonderful cooperation. De Bruyne suddenly shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area. De Sanctis had surrendered and it was the goalkeeper.

The post was a big help to Naples, otherwise Crystal Palace would have been one goal ahead.

Mazzarri was very dissatisfied with Gargano and Inle, and he thought they should fight.

On the football field, if you can't stop the opponent, you have to get started.
Chapter completed!
