450. Counterattack

Wen Sheng is quite afraid of Arsenal's condition. This team is sometimes like a nerve knife. In addition, they have a Van Persie in excellent form this season, which is really difficult to deal with.

Van Persie is currently leading the scorer list, and is averaging almost one goal per game. This is quite scary. Vardy is currently behind him and Rooney in the scorer list, with a gap of 6 goals.

Whether Van Persie can limit this game seems to be the key to tactics. Before the game, many media were discussing how Crystal Palace should limit Van Persie.

But as a later generation, Wen Sheng knew that this was really hard. General Fan in the past two years has been a Buddha blocker who killed Buddha blockers and killed people. It was impossible to completely limit him. What he can do now is to try to limit Van Persie.

Wenger is under great pressure, but when he met on the sidelines, Wensheng thought he looked pretty good. This old man is also a talented man. He asked Wensheng to say that if this old man started buying people early, don’t do a small monster concentration camp, it is entirely possible that Arsenal will win the Premier League championship under his leadership.

Alas, being too persistent is not a good thing.

The meeting before the game was very pleasant, and the two of them hadn't been together for a long time. Wen Sheng invited Wenger to have a drink together after the game, and Wenger agreed.

After the game started, Arsenal played very actively and proactively. They were in good shape recently and needed three-pointers urgently, which would inevitably touch the edge of Crystal Palace.

But Wensheng did not follow Wenger's routine. Originally, in Wenger's idea, Crystal Palace was likely to adopt a more conservative strategy in this game. Since defeating Manchester United, the several weak teams that Wensheng encountered in succession were not the usual rhythm of Premier League teams. He played very calmly. Wenger could understand this mentality. Crystal Palace had a bit of a big lead. Being safer in every game is the best choice.

Therefore, Wenger believes that Wensheng may continue to maintain such calmness, but he doesn't know that the existence of Van Persie has changed his mind and what should he do if he can't defend his opponent?! Of course, it's an offense. As long as you score more goals, the focus of Wensheng's goal is to use the ball in the midfield. He should use the ball quickly in the offense and defense transition to attack.

Wen Sheng believes that he still has a great advantage in midfield interception, and Arsenal's midfield interception ability is probably only left behind.

With such plans on both sides, the game will naturally look good, and it will be very lively when you come and go.

After Arsenal's opening, Walcott's performance was very active. He faced Hills, who had just recovered from injury today. After a long injury, Hills played in the reserve team game and served as a substitute in the last game. Wen Sheng couldn't wait to use him in this highlight of this game against Arsenal.

Perhaps because of his comeback, Hills seemed to be in a bad state after the opening game, and was tricked by Walcott and the others. Fortunately, there was no problem with Crystal Palace's middle defense.

"Maybe he's too hasty!" Wen Sheng frowned. He liked Hills from the bottom of his heart. He was obedient and made rapid progress. Wen Sheng believed that he would be the best candidate for England's left-back in the future and could even become the world's number one full-back, but this injury may really take some time to adapt.

Just because it was Hills, Wen Sheng didn't even have the idea of ​​replacing him with a little bit. If it were someone else, Wen Sheng would definitely be ruthless.

Because everyone is playing against each other, the pressure is often pressed on the backcourt defenders, and you can see a thrilling moment from time to time on the court.

The offensive players of the two teams are in good shape, so it is strange that they don’t score goals.

Arsenal took the lead in the 18th minute, and the goal was indeed Van Persie. Wensheng remembered that in the first leg of the season, Van Persie scored a very beautiful goal. This time he was like this again. He received a pass from his teammate and successfully counter-offside. A lightweight lob shot forced Speroni to surrender.

The current mentality of Crystal Palace players is completely different from before. To be precise, they have stronger pressure ability. They are not panicked when they concede the ball first and continue to maintain pressure on Arsenal's backcourt.

And just three minutes later, Tarabut assisted Mkhitaryan and scored an equalizer.

Both sides were very fast, and the first half was almost like passing in the blink of an eye.

Both sides ended the first half 1:1.

Overall, Crystal Palace played better at home. First of all, they did a good job in interception in midfield, and secondly, they did more than Arsenal in creating opportunities. In the end, they were not particularly bad in defense. Except for Hills' vague feeling that he was beaten up, the other defenders were in good condition.

Arsenal is at the bottom of the data, but they are not without a chance to expand the score. Their problem is that Van Persie is too much. No matter how powerful Van Persie is, she is still alone. At the same time, she has to face the double-team of several players from Crystal Palace, and scoring goals is also a very difficult thing.

Wen Sheng was a little regretful about the result of the first half. The facts proved that his team was not afraid of any opponents when playing offense. The defenses of teams such as Manchester United and Arsenal could not resist. It was just that this luck was a bit unlucky. Why did you always lose the ball first every time?!

The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half.

Arsenal, like Crystal Palace, were eliminated in the Champions League knockout stage early, basically one game a week, there is no physical problem, and the injuries of both sides are similar. Speaking of which, Crystal Palace has to suffer a little, after all, there is a lack of De Bruyne.

With abundant physical fitness, everyone attacked and defended each other for 45 minutes in the first half. In the second half, the two head coaches obviously did not mean to change their tactics.

For Wenger, it is very important to be able to win Crystal Palace's three-pointer away. In addition, his team's style is inherently high offensive attributes, so he will not choose to defence just because he is away.

For Wensheng, Crystal Palace had already demonstrated enough attack deterrence in the first half. There were not many rounds left in the league, which also gave Wensheng some capital to fight against each other, so he had no intention of conservatism.

The first goal in the second half was Crystal Palace. In the 56th minute, Vardy scored the overtake goal in the melee in front of the goal in the set-piece offense.

After scoring a goal, Wen Sheng's mentality changed a little. Soon after, Hao Junmin replaced Tarabut. This was a signal to defend. When he said that, half an hour left, the team was leading. It was impossible for Wen Sheng to not want to keep these three-pointers.

Crystal Palace, whose tactics have been adjusted, has begun the road to health football. Wenger's tactics are not much. Before the game, although he expected Wensheng to use health football to greet Arsenal, he was just thinking about whether he could try his luck. Now that Crystal Palace's strategy has returned to the track he expected, the time is really not too long, and he is not confident whether his team can break Crystal Palace's defense.

At this stage of the whole season, Crystal Palace, which does not like ball control and oppression tactics, is actually the team with the highest average ball control rate in the Premier League. They rely too much on ground transmission and long passes are actually extremely limited.
