412. Program
De Bruyne did not expect that his carelessness would cause such serious consequences. Wensheng called and scolded him.
De Bruyne was so popular that he looked like a monkey's butt, and he felt guilty and apologized repeatedly.
"Dingding, Dingding, don't you know how important you are to this team?! Do you know how many days you will be the Champions League game?! Do you know we are going to face Real Madrid?!"
Crystal Palace lost the game against Bayern Munich in the last round of the Champions League group stage. That game did not affect Crystal Palace's qualifying, but it gave up the top spot. They unfortunately won Real Madrid in the subsequent draw.
This is a very unfortunate sign. When I first won Real Madrid, many media sentenced Crystal Palace to death.
Wen Sheng ignored the voices of public opinion from the outside world and just said a few perfunctory words in the face of the interview.
Of course, he has a great desire for the Champions League, but he finds it difficult in the current situation. During that period, Crystal Palace has a intensive schedule and faces the challenges of many strong opponents, he can't care about the consequences of losing the first place in the group stage. So what about Real Madrid?! No one can tell who will advance at that time!
As for the game, I only know after the game is over.
But now De Bruyne is injured, which casts a shadow on Wensheng's heart for the Champions League quarterfinals.
After getting angry, De Bruyne was so angry that he wanted to kill him. Wensheng barely recovered.
"Okay! I'm sorry! I know you must be sad and sad! I shouldn't be angry with you like this!" Wensheng apologized to De Bruyne in time.
"No, boss! This is my responsibility! I should follow your opinion! This is not the first time you have said you need to be cautious about the situation on the court! I asked myself!" De Bruyne said hurriedly.
"Forget it! Since it has happened, there is nothing to blame now! Your task is to recover well, don't worry about the rest! I know you regret it, you feel that you have caused huge losses to the team! But I promise you that everyone will fight for you and will not let your efforts be in vain!" Wen Sheng patiently comforted De Bruyne.
De Bruyne has completed more than ten goals and more than ten assists so far this season, with a perfect double-double data. His performance truly interprets what the driving machine of Crystal Palace is.
After comforting De Bruyne, Wensheng specially invited Cox to his office to ask about the results of the examination in the hospital.
"Is the inspection result reliable?! Can you find someone to show him some experts?! He can persist in the full game, maybe the injury is not that serious, right?" Wen Sheng was really unwilling to accept that Hawking had just arrived at the office in the morning and told him that the "maybe seasonal reimbursement" was reported.
De Bruyne's absence made Crystal Palace's dream of winning the championship a bit difficult, and Wen Sheng's expectation check was wrong.
Cox believed in science, De Bruyne was sent to perform MRI after the game, and Cox believed that it was true.
However, Wen Sheng's words reminded him that the operation should be performed, but the results of the doctors with different results are different. Perhaps there may be experts who can help.
"We can think of a way!" Cox agreed.
Wensheng repeatedly told Cox to do this as soon as possible. Cox also knew that the team really needed De Bruyne, so he agreed to Wensheng's request and went down to work quickly.
Even if Cox can bring better news to Wensheng tomorrow, Wensheng still needs to prepare for the future.
Regarding De Bruyne's absence, Wen Sheng quickly formed two response plans in his mind.
The first option is to let Matic or Stroman replace De Bruyne. Matic used to be a front midfielder, and it is not a big problem to return to the front midfielder position. However, his disadvantage compared to De Bruyne is that his breakthrough ability is not strong and his creativity is far less outstanding than De Bruyne. Moreover, since he came to the team, Wen Sheng rarely used him to play the front midfielder position. Stroman often plays the role of the back midfielder and the central forward, and rarely plays the front midfielder position. Like Matic, he is not very good at breakthrough ability. When the team needs variables in the front court offense, it is difficult for them to reach De Bruyne's height.
The second option is to let Mkhitaryan or Tarabut play the front midfielder. Mkhitaryan is older than De Bruyne, but his experience is not as rich as De Bruyne. Some of his attributes are similar to De Bruyne, but no matter which one seems to be a little worse than De Bruyne, not to mention that Mkhitaryan's defensive consciousness is not as good as De Bruyne.
As the front midfielder, when the team turned from offense to defense, De Bruyne grabbed the frontcourt and the defensive position was also an important reason why Crystal Palace's midfielder can repeatedly gain an advantage. Mkhitaryan is far inferior to De Bruyne in this regard. On the court, Crystal Palace's transition from offense to defense will definitely put more defensive pressure on the two back midfielders.
As for Tarabut, it’s just a thought. This kid just came to the team now, and Wensheng also saw that he had solid basic skills, but he was too unique. It may not be particularly harmful to be unique on the side, but it is hard to say in the middle. He can only train him slowly.
In short, with Matic or Stroman, it is more likely to get Crystal Palace with better defense, but they may not be that good in offense.
With Mkhitaryan, the team's offense will not reach its original height and the defense may be weakened.
As for the array change?!
Wensheng never considers the issue of changing the lineup. The team's players are already very adapted to this 4231 position formation. If De Bruyne is absent, the team urgently needs stability and victory. Wensheng is even more unwilling to take risks to change.
"Who is worthy of my trust?!" Wen Sheng did not participate in the team's training class and spent the whole morning thinking about countermeasures.
After the training, Wen Sheng called the coaching team to discuss together.
The results of the discussion were not optimistic.
At least Wensheng was not very satisfied. He saw something from the opinions and reactions of the people that the members of the coaching team had a little incorrect mentality.
What is incorrect?!
They have a conservative mentality!
The current situation of Crystal Palace has caused this team to be cautious in every game in the future. Losing is simply unacceptable. After all, there are teams such as Manchester City Twins and Tottenham Hotspurs chasing behind them.
Because no one wants to lose, except Joey, they undoubtedly support the first plan, allowing Matic and Stroman to replace De Bruyne's role.
Their reason is nothing more than that we should first make sure that not conceding the ball is the most important thing, and offense is the second issue to consider.
Joey believes that Crystal Palace's defense system has always been relatively stable, and the midfield can assume more defensive responsibilities. Mkhitaryan does have many shortcomings, but he has the triple functions of breakthrough, organization and passing, which other players cannot compare for the time being. Why not use him? Crystal Palace must score a goal if he wants to win!
After the coaching team meeting, Wen Sheng was not determined.
When he got home, Zahavi happened to call and inform Crystal Palace that he would propose another contract renewal negotiation.
Wen Sheng said angrily: "Now I'm going to explode! Why are you talking about renewal? I'll say I'll consider it after the season is over!"
Chapter completed!
