An old man in a family is like a treasure. There are more than 7 players in Crystal Palace's starting lineup today who are under the age of 24. Such a young team would have collapsed long ago without veterans.

Wen Sheng is really not stupid. He just used a few veterans on the central axis, Speroni, Lawrence, and Deli. These three backbones in the midfield and backfield performed exceptionally well because of their sense of responsibility, and

Gradually, other players were encouraged to stabilize their positions.

"Two points of protection!" Wen Sheng raised two fingers.

Robins sent two forwards, one tall and one short, Daniel Bogdanovic and Jonathan McCann. For this game, due to injuries, Robins had no options for forwards.

Not big.

McCann plays the role of the second forward and is very creative, while Bogdanovic is the battering ram.

Bogdanovic is only a substitute player, and McCann is the main player. Unfortunately, he didn't score many goals at Barnsley both last season and this season.

The Crystal Palace defense was so bad. The two of them got several excellent opportunities, but Speroni successfully resolved them all. On the one hand, Speroni is awesome, but on the other hand, it also shows that these two are really not in a good state.

kind.

Crystal Palace stabilized its position and increased the protection of the two points. The two young players on the wing, Klein and Hills, gradually found some sense and blocked the opponent's crosses from the wing. Barnsley's chances suddenly dropped.

In the latter minutes of the first half, Barnsley didn't have a single chance.

The referee's whistle blows and the players from both teams go to their respective locker rooms.

Wen Sheng had been waiting for everyone in the locker room, "Well done! We defended the first half!"

First of all, we need to praise the hard-working players, especially young players who need encouragement.

The team's performance was very poor. It was obviously a defensive counterattack, but there was only defense and no counterattack. The ball was lost too quickly in the frontcourt. It was not lost through the ball, but through a pass. Wen Sheng silently complained in his heart.

Publicly complaining about the problem of passing and receiving is of no use now, because it is difficult to change in such a hurry. After all, everyone still needs some time to adapt to this system.

On the contrary, if Wen Sheng complains about this matter, it will damage everyone's self-confidence and affect everyone's performance.

Therefore, Wen Sheng had no choice but to complain silently in his heart.

"Okay, I won't go into details about the praise! Now let's talk about the shortcomings, position, position! I emphasize again, you can't lose your position easily!"

"I feel like we failed to find a center!" After Wen Sheng said this, Lawrence immediately responded, and he also realized this problem.

Everyone agreed that the full-backs didn't know when to step in because they were doubtful about whether their teammates were around to protect them. The center-backs also didn't know when to go out because they were worried that their position would not be filled.

The shortcomings they mentioned ultimately boil down to issues of tacit understanding.

Wen Sheng thought for a while and clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Now we have determined the two centers of the backcourt defensive system. The first center is Matt, and the players on the defensive line are centered on him. The second center is Sean!"

"Matt, Sean, you have to keep shouting on the court to let everyone know your position!"

"They have a lot of long passes. Davis keeps an eye on their high center, Matt is responsible for sweeping, Sean is responsible for filling in, N'Golo and Alassane not only have to intercept in the middle, but also take care of both wings. In the second half, you

Switch places between the two!”

In the first half, N'Diaye was on the left, helping Hills defend, but the effect was really not very good. The two young players struggled to defend. Wen Sheng now had to let Kanter go to the left, and Kanter swept away his ability to cover.

Stronger, he can help Hills, who is much weaker than Klein.

Wen Sheng quickly re-adjusted the defensive system and asked the players not to be too silent on the court. He also reminded young players not to be afraid and to keep a calm mind.

Defense is still the focus and core. In terms of offense, Wen Sheng doesn't actually have many good methods. His passing ability limits the quality of counterattacks. His adjustment is to let the young player Sears, who is on loan from West Ham, not be too involved in the defense on the left.

, transforming into a position similar to the second striker, forming a connection point between the midfielder and Vardy.

As for Vardy, Wen Sheng asked him to take more gaps in his movements and make his movements more confusing.

Vardy worked very hard in the first half, running back to his own half many times to participate in defense, and his attitude was very positive. Wen Sheng asked him several times on the sidelines not to get too close to the center circle, because this would cause the opponent to press forward as a whole.

It brings more pressure.

"Jamie, your positive attitude is a good thing, and I appreciate it very much, but your defensive area, including your offensive area, is in the opponent's half. In the second half, I will not allow you to cross the center circle arc and enter our own

At halftime, you stay in front of me!"

Then he clicked on the names of the other two forwards. Wen Sheng continued: "You can suddenly attack the opponent at the right time, put pressure on the opponent's defense, and force them to make mistakes!"

Wen Sheng finished the arrangements one by one and said to everyone: "We are a team. I always ask you to remember that you are a team. In the first half, we gave them many opportunities. We must thank Julian

, but I hope Julian is not so busy in the second half!”

"You don't know, my heart keeps shaking on the sidelines! I hate this feeling!"

"I think you guys must hate this feeling too! So come on, everyone! I believe you can help me!"

"Come on!" shouted the slogan. The players should drink water if they should drink water, and eat bananas if they should eat some bananas!

After a short rest, the time was up, and Wen Sheng took the lead in walking out of the passage.

"Damn Chinaman, you will become the sinner of the Crystal Palace!" A fan at the entrance saw Wen Sheng coming out and cursed loudly.

"Get out of here!"

"You must have fucking sold it to Carlton!"

"What the hell are you kicking?! Let's drown him with spit!"

The first half really made Crystal Palace fans hold their breath. What kind of thing was this? They were pushed to the ground and rubbed by the underdog Barnsley, and a lot of the main players were not available. Wen Sheng was an undercover?!

Wen Sheng pretended not to hear and sat back on his coaching bench.

He was so anxious that he really wanted to use Nick Carr. The Australian player had good passing ability, but he was on the roster and could only sit on the bench and show off.

Joey and Hawking are really feeling the pressure now. Today, they have seen what professional football is and what high pressure means!

As members of a team, their adrenaline will rise involuntarily, and their worries about the game are not just a matter of not caring. They have warned themselves many times to calm down, but their hearts are still trembling, and there is nothing they can do about it.

This is the English Championship.

After the fifteen-minute break, players from both teams returned to the court and the second half began.

No one made any substitutions. Robins' team continued to play hard after the start. To be honest, their offense was quite monotonous, with crosses coming from both wings and going down the middle from time to time.

Crystal Palace's defense was still tight, but not as panicked as it was in the first half. Kante's change of position greatly enhanced Hills' side of the defense, and Barnsley was unable to open up the situation.

Robins stood silent on the sidelines. Breaking a bus was a problem worldwide, not to mention a rookie coach like him. It was obvious that Barnsley had a shot, but the threat was definitely different in the first half.

In the 67th minute, the Crystal Palace frontcourt trio made a collective effort and suddenly began to press on the opponent's two central defenders. Under Vardy's pressure, Jamaican central defender Darren Moore tried to kick the ball directly to the target.

When he reached the foot of Sears, Sears was very decisive and took advantage of the opportunity to kick the ball straight.

Vardy forms a single sword!

Crystal Palace fans had been frustrated for most of the game, and finally saw such an excellent opportunity. Almost everyone craned their necks to watch Vardy's operation.

Wen Sheng was frozen on the sidelines, and Robbins was frozen!

Vardy just shook away the attacking goalkeeper and pushed the ball!
Chapter completed!
