332. No shooting boots
"Matt, what do you think of the game?!" 40 minutes into the game, Wen Sheng sat back on the coaching bench and asked Lawrence for his opinion.
Wen Sheng was not very satisfied with the game. In terms of defense, Crystal Palace basically did a good job and did not give the opponent too many opportunities. However, the offense was a bit bad, the rhythm was slow, the opponent returned to defense very quickly, and the two full-backs had poor single defense capabilities.
Yes, Crystal Palace has really few opportunities.
"We didn't create enough opportunities, maybe our pace was too slow!" Lawrence has not been with Wen Sheng in vain in the past two years.
"Unlike against Naples, their defensive organization is better and their players are more capable. The slower our pace is, the easier it is for them to recover their defense. Maybe we can be faster!"
Lawrence gave the example of Naples.
"Defensive counterattack?!" Wen Sheng asked back. The idea of defensive counterattack is not a good one. It is not that Crystal Palace has not tried it in the first half, but Hahaha, Haha, the speed of returning to defense cannot be said. Bastian Schweinsteiger
Martinez and Martinez are really good. They rely on their positioning. They can often stay in position during Crystal Palace's counterattacks. They have a very good idea of whether to attack or retreat.
Bayern Munich's full-backs actually play differently from Barcelona's playing style, which also emphasizes pressing assists, but Bayern Munich is not so ruthless, and Lahm and Rafinha have good defensive abilities and awareness.
Rafinha was even the player that Wen Sheng wanted. This player had been at Schalke 04. He wanted to defect to Bayern Munich when he was at Schalke 04, but Schalke 04 refused and ended up paying a low price.
Sent him to Genoa, who knew?!
Good guy! After one season, he returned to Bayern Munich.
The requirements for modern full-backs are to have a strong desire to attack and a strong ability to provide assists, but different teams have different requirements. Eunuch Hai definitely likes full-backs like Lahm and Rafinha who have a balanced offense and defense.
Neither Lahm nor Rafinha will go down the baseline and penetrate the penalty area as often as Alves does. They have limitations.
Wen Sheng began to miss Zaha a little at this time.
Zaha has the ability to break through, but Mertens and Mkhitaryan's dribbling skills in the current team are not as good as Zaha's.
On the pitch, Zaha can try to break the opponent's wing defense in positional battles.
Maybe I really shouldn't have let Will go to West Brom!
He had some regrets.
But the current problem needs to be solved.
"I think defensive counterattack may not be a good idea!" Lawrence believes that the first half was not decisive enough in this regard, and the number of hits was too few to see actual results. If this tactic is persisted for more than half an hour, the effect will definitely be the same.
Yes, both Mertens and Mkhitaryan are not slow.
Wen Sheng decided to wait and see.
At the end of the first half, the Bayern Munich fans present were a little disappointed. The team was not able to grind Crystal Palace to the ground as they expected. However, the vast majority of fans thought about it again and were satisfied with the score. After all,
We are ahead and our opponents have fewer opportunities.
"They were really lucky! We wasted too many opportunities!" Experts look at the door, while outsiders look at the excitement. Clare and Koch are not expert fans, so in their opinion, Crystal Palace's luck is so good that they failed to do so.
A key factor in expanding the score.
"I'm very happy to see your reaction after losing the ball. I thought you would panic and you would be frightened by their name, but you didn't. We didn't give them too many chances. The defense was very well organized.
The only pity is that we failed to equalize the score!" Wen Sheng praised the players' performance in the locker room.
The players were in a good mood and of course they recognized their performance. It was a pity that they only conceded the ball.
"But the situation now is that we are always behind. If we don't want to come back empty-handed here, then we have to do something in the second half! Gentlemen, going to Munich is not a trip! Damn it! Gate, how much did we spend on food, clothing, housing and transportation?
?!" Wen Sheng turned his head to the busy team leader Gate.
Gate looked confused and looked at Wen Sheng in astonishment. Which head coach would ask this question?!
Gaiter's expression caused laughter from the players.
"Forget it, damn it! We spent a lot anyway, we can't go back empty-handed!" Wen Sheng waved his hand, looking like Grandet.
The players were both amused and like, "Yeah, who the hell wants to come back from here empty-handed!"
"I want to ask you, are you willing to go back empty-handed? I once said that we are not fighting for anyone, we are fighting for ourselves. If we return empty-handed, I feel that I am not willing to do so. Are you willing?
?!" Wen Sheng asked seriously.
Who would be willing to do so? The players responded to Wen Sheng one after another with high morale.
Next, Wen Sheng began to arrange the team's tactics. Wen Sheng's plan was to play for ten minutes first, continue the tactics of the first half, and see the offensive effect. If no goal was scored in ten minutes, he would ask the team to pull up the formation.
Open, tighten the pressure on the front line, speed up the game, and try again.
At the same time, he also told the two wings not to recover too much, but to push to the front and let Klose retreat a little.
Don't use too much guidance when passing the ball, just play it directly from the backcourt to the two wings.
I don’t know if it will be effective?! After Wen Sheng’s arrangement ended, he himself didn’t have much confidence, even less confidence than when he played against Barcelona. Bayern Munich had almost no shortcomings.
In his later memory, this season's Champions League final was between Chelsea and Bayern Munich. In that game, it was said that Bayern Munich had no problem pushing Chelsea to the ground and rubbing them against each other. Chelsea was extremely lucky to win the Champions League.
To be honest, Wen Sheng knows that with such a Bayern Munich team, any tactics may not work well in front of them. What Crystal Palace urgently needs now is good luck.
The second half comes quickly.
Heynckes did not adjust the team's tactics. First of all, everything about the team was good and they did not encounter too many difficulties defensively. Secondly, Bayern Munich was leading the score. Even if he made adjustments, he planned to see Wen Sheng's moves. Now
Staying unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations is the best choice.
When he saw that Crystal Palace still adopted the tactical arrangement of the first half, Heynckes was not surprised at all. He had long heard that Wen Sheng was an Italian tactical style advocate, and caution was his label.
Now is not the time to exert force.
"But what will happen if you try your best?! It's all in vain!" Heynckes was very confident in his defense.
Wen Sheng should also be lucky that Bayern Munich is not an Italian team and Heynckes is not an Italian coach. If they were, he could have adjusted his tactics to a defensive counterattack in the second half, but he did not because he was not conservative.
What's more, when coaching a team like Bayern Munich, the most important thing to remember is not to be conservative.
The last conservative coach can be traced back to Magath. Magath was relatively conservative when he coached Bayern Munich. He could win championships, but it was also easy to dismiss him. Fans did not like his style.
.
Ten minutes later, Wen Sheng decisively made tactical adjustments. Kanter and Melo ran more actively than in the first half, and the frequency of tackles began to increase. Kanter often faced off against the opponent's midfielder to grab for the ball.
The ball at Weinsteiger's feet.
Heynckes realized that Crystal Palace was beginning to change tactics.
But that’s a good thing, isn’t it?!
This means that the game will develop in an open direction.
Bayern Munich also doesn't like to attack the bus. The more Crystal Palace does this, the better, so that the team can take advantage of the opponent's impatience to get more opportunities.
Heynckes began to ask Robben to warm up, and he wanted to play at a fast pace. There was no one on my side, and Robben was very useful.
Wen Sheng saw Robben going to warm up, and his expression changed. If Robben played, he would definitely suppress Hills' assists. He was not Muller. Muller would be willing to follow the arrangement and return to defense, but Robben
No, he standing in front is a threat, and you have to distract yourself to take care of him.
The changes at Crystal Palace are also effective, and the game has really opened up for them.
Taking advantage of Bayern Munich's inattention, Crystal Palace hit another offensive climax. Unfortunately, they were really close to scoring a goal. Klose had no problem with the ball today, but he didn't seem to have his shooting boots. He missed a good opportunity in the first half.
, he missed another opportunity in the second half.
Chapter completed!
