The players fell asleep in the car tiredly. It was after 2 o'clock in the morning when the bus arrived in Croydon. Everyone got off the bus in a daze and went back to their homes to find their mothers.

Just two days ago, Kanter told Wen Sheng that he wanted to move. He wanted to move in with Vardy. It was not an option to hang around Wen Sheng's house all the time. He was embarrassed. If they shared a house, they would share a little of the rent.

easy.

Wen Sheng thought about it and finally agreed, so now when he returns home at night, the house is strangely deserted.

After washing up, Wen Sheng was completely sleepless, and then he started to look at his mobile phone.

"Congratulations, boy! What a great game!" This was Warnock's text message.

"I performed well, old man!" Wen Sheng replied proudly.

"Well done! Danny!" This is the congratulatory message from uncle Adam.

"Danny, do you know how many points we are away from sixth place now?!" This is uncle Wayne's.

How many points away from sixth place?!

Wen Sheng really didn't know that Crystal Palace had to find a way to win every league game, but he really didn't pay much attention to the standings. It was too early to look at the standings now. There were still more than ten rounds left in the league, so it was meaningless to compare with opponents who were relegated.

The key is yourself.

Pausing to reply to text messages, he turned on his computer and looked at the standings carefully.

At the end of today's game, the league has played 27 rounds. Crystal Palace has 32 points. Sheffield United is ranked sixth with 41 points. The gap between the two is nine points.

When Wen Sheng saw this difference, his thoughts immediately became vivid.

9 points, it’s hard to say it’s actually that hard, right?! The gap is three games!

"Oh, what a pity! If we hadn't been deducted ten points, maybe we could compete for runner-up now!" Wen Sheng lamented.

Taking a closer look at the standings, Crystal Palace is still ranked 15th, only eight points away from Plymouth in the relegation zone!

The heroes were fighting! Wen Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

If you think about it carefully, it is actually really difficult to get nine points. There are a lot of teams ahead of them with more than 30 points. It is quite difficult for Crystal Palace to surpass them and enter the top six.

What's more, Crystal Palace has now reached the fifth round of the FA Cup, fighting on two fronts. Wen Sheng has to be lucky that Crystal Palace voluntarily gave up the League Cup when Warnock led the team, otherwise it would be difficult to fight on three fronts, one game.

It doesn't sound like much.

But being sandwiched between the two league games will affect three games, and possibly more league games. Teams without sufficient lineup depth can't even think about playing.

The fourth round of the FA Cup has ended, and the draw results have come out early. Crystal Palace will face Aston Villa on February 14th. Villa are difficult to deal with in the Premier League this season.

However, Wen Sheng was really reluctant to give up the FA Cup. He also knew that his teeth would break if he had too much appetite. But if he won the FA Cup, he could participate in the European League. Think about how he, a British Championship team, could go to European competitions.

It's quite interesting to think about it. As for the difficulty of upgrading to the Premier League, Wen Sheng thinks it is quite difficult.

Crystal Palace, who is first and second in the English Championship, will definitely not be able to reach it. Those two positions can go directly to the Premier League. Crystal Palace can only compete for 3-6 places. To put it bluntly, Crystal Palace can only compete for 1st place.

Six players will have to compete in the play-offs to win the spot. The play-offs are based on home and away games, and they have to play three games to decide who is qualified to go to the Premier League.

Everyone has worked hard for more than 40 games to reach the play-offs, who is willing to give up?! The play-offs are destined to be a more difficult game than the FA Cup knockout rounds.

After all the calculations, the European war is still more attractive.

"How about we put more effort into the FA Cup and see if there is any success?!" Wen Sheng was very tempted. In fact, he already believed that the hope of relegation was high and there should be no relegation.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't come up with a real conclusion, so he simply gave it up and waited until he had time next week to discuss it with his coaching staff.

Picking up the phone again, Wen Sheng replied to the congratulatory message again.

"Congratulations! Danny! You're not hurt, are you?! Are you okay?!" Cheryl also sent a congratulatory message.

Cheryl also saw the scene of the conflict between Wen Sheng and Button on the sidelines.

Wen Sheng smiled knowingly, "I'm fine! It's a small conflict. He's Sancun Ding and I'm Iron King Kong. If there's a real fight, it's his misfortune! It's just that I don't want to be exposed to such an idiot!"

After replying to all the text messages, Wen Sheng looked at his watch. It was five o'clock in the morning!

I have to go to bed quickly. Since becoming "brain dead" in the last life, Wen Sheng has paid the most attention to sleep because he is afraid of this!

Sometimes he does work very late, but never later than twelve o'clock. But sometimes the situation is really special at night, and his rules are not implemented meticulously.

But lying on the bed, unable to close his eyes, a text message rang on his phone. Wen Sheng took it and saw that it was Cheryl.

"You put your fear in such a tactful way!" Cheryl teased.

"Still up so late?!" Wen Sheng chuckled, "I'm really not afraid of him! If a dog bites you, why don't you bite it too?! The team needs me, and I'm not a reckless guy like him!

"

"Woke up to your text message ringtone!" Cheryl replied.

"That's so sorry!" Wen Sheng apologized.

"You will be in the headlines tomorrow! Especially you!" Cheryl reminded.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care what the outside world says! It's not important at all. What's important is that we defeated Newcastle and now we are full of confidence!" Wen Sheng really doesn't care. He knew about the conflict with Button and replaced Zahadu in advance.

It's news.

Hughton said in the post-match interview that Wen Sheng placed eight or nine players in the penalty area, and it didn't look like he wanted to win at all! Eleven people versus ten people were always stalling for time!

His accusations are basically true, and this kind of gameplay is destined to be news.

Jordan Miles did not ask Wen Sheng this kind of question after the game, but tomorrow the media will definitely exaggerate and report on this game.

Cheryl and Wen Sheng chatted for a while, and then the conversation changed and asked about Zaha.

"Let's talk about this when we get to the training base! In fact, I have high hopes for him!" Wen Sheng felt sleepy.

I went to sleep when I said I was going to sleep, and then I fell asleep like that.

After a good sleep, Wen Sheng found that the time had reached eleven o'clock in the morning, and the alarm clock was not broken, but it did not wake him up from his deep sleep.

He was supposed to get up at 7 o'clock, but now it's obviously beyond his plan. But it's not a big problem. Neither the coaching staff nor the team arranged any work this morning. He just wanted to go to the base to work alone, but now it's gone.

.

After a good sleep, I feel radiant and energetic.

It's just that it's still cool outside the house, and I don't know when it started snowing.

The surrounding area is completely white.

Wen Sheng drove to the Beckenham training base, and when he was almost at the door, he saw a middle-aged black man standing at the door of the security room, rubbing his hands.

Who is this?! It’s such a cold day, and you’re still standing here waiting for the team to train! This persistence is admirable.

Wen Sheng parked the car nearby. He planned to invite the fan to sit in the guard room. There was heating inside, which was better than standing outside waiting.

The doorman John Pope had seen Wen Sheng a long time ago and opened the electric door. When he saw Wen Sheng parked his car on the side, he quickly ran out.

The middle-aged black man saw Wen Sheng get out of the car, recognized Wen Sheng's face, and came over quickly.

Pop, who came out of the guard room, was faster than him. He came from behind and reached Wen Sheng ahead of the middle-aged black man, almost falling down.

"Daniel! This is Zaha's father!" Pop gave Wen Sheng a hard look and stood between Wen Sheng and old Zaha as if nothing had happened.

Wen Sheng couldn't help but want to laugh a little. Pop was afraid that he would be beaten. No wonder this man could only stand outside.

Not to mention that Zaha's father is very burly, so he would probably get beaten in a duel.

"Hello! Mr. Zaha!" Wen Sheng moved away from Pop, smiled and stretched out his hand.
Chapter completed!
