94. Crazy
To say that Wen Sheng cares about his head but not his body?! The coaching staff of Crystal Palace will definitely not agree. Wen Sheng’s more aggressive attack method is based on a detailed study of his opponents.
Nottingham Forest can have a way to deal with it, but they need a fast and mobile second forward, and a high center forward with strong resistance.
Crystal Palace's tactical win-win strategy is based on Klopp's crazy rush style, while Nottingham Forest can adopt the Italian team's tactics under Conte, with the high center forward as the key figure.
But Nottingham Forest doesn't have such a high forward, and their forward ability is mediocre. This is an important reason why they don't score many goals.
Their competition and experience are no match for Lawrence and McCarthy.
Before the game, Wen Sheng studied Nottingham Forest to the extreme. Scoring a goal seemed easy, but in fact it was not that simple. The goal was outside the stadium.
The following game also completely confirmed Wen Sheng's inference. Nottingham Forest completely lost the ability to control and could only keep kicking. Driven by Crystal Palace, the pace was fast and they made frequent mistakes.
At the end of the first half, the big screen in the stadium showed the bloody score, 4:0.
Kanter scored one goal, McCarthy scored one goal, and Vardy scored twice.
The Nottingham Forest players walked to the tunnel dejectedly. The Crystal Palace fans didn't even laugh at them. It was really pitiful. They only had two shots in the first half, but their own goal was shot 13 times and 4 goals were scored by their opponents.
, you must know that after Wen Sheng took over, Crystal Palace’s average number of shots per game was less than 10.
But today, in just the first half, they overfulfilled their task.
No one can bear to see this situation, it's too miserable.
Delhi couldn't hide the smiles on their faces, showing extreme excitement. They had never played such a hearty offensive battle before, and the first half was very enjoyable.
"Are you happy?!" Wen Sheng asked everyone in the locker room with a smile.
Wen Sheng's answer was that everyone was laughing unconsciously, even if they didn't want to laugh, they were so happy.
"But I want you to fucking remember, the game is not over yet! Nothing is over!" Wen Sheng's expression suddenly changed and he stared at everyone coldly, "We didn't win, we didn't get the upgrade.
There are places, we don't have a fucking FA Cup yet!"
"You can be happy or get carried away! But I have to fucking emphasize, it's only five minutes!" Wen Sheng raised five fingers, "We must stay tense and keep fighting until we beat them down and let them
Knowing that we deserve promotion more than them!"
Wen Sheng's roar echoed in the locker room. No one understood why Wen Sheng was angry, including the coaching staff.
It’s okay to call on everyone to calm down, but there’s no need to do this!
Five minutes of joy?! The players couldn't be happier anymore. Everyone had a sullen face. They didn't know they thought they were the team that was trailing 0:4.
Wen Sheng ignored this and started to explain the tactics on the blackboard. The players were proud, but Wen Sheng insisted on attacking them and analyzing their mistakes in the first half, which made everyone feel disgraced.
Was Crystal Palace perfect in the first half? The answer is no, they made a lot of mistakes, but their opponents were always in a trance and their strength was limited, so they failed to seize those opportunities.
These mistakes are not something to be happy about, they should be reflected on, and the players can gradually understand the source of Wen Sheng's anger, but some people think that we just got it if we didn't concede the ball, a mistake?! Which team will not make a single mistake on the court?
!
"I know that some of you are always lucky!" Wen Sheng seemed to see through the thoughts of some players, "But do you understand that the court is like a battlefield, and any mistake may lead to failure. You can ignore today's mistake. Next time
What about once?! What about next time?!”
“A team that doesn’t pursue excellence will never touch the trophy!”
"Gentlemen, put away your pride! Our goals are lofty, and your future is bright. Don't let yourself be trapped in the quagmire of pride and unable to make progress! Because I have always trusted you and believe you can do everything!"
After some beating, the players put away their pride, and Wen Sheng began to explain the tactics for the second half.
In the first half, Nottingham Forest played extremely poorly, like a headless fly, and nothing seemed to work.
Davis thought about it and could only think of one way, to fight Crystal Palace and adopt tactics similar to Crystal Palace. And in their current situation, 4:0 is a huge score. This round is not to pursue goals at Crystal Palace's home court.
When they return to the City Stadium in the next round, they will hardly be able to complete the task of equalizing the score. Crystal Palace's bus is famous in the English Championship.
The crazy running in the first half caused a huge loss of physical energy for Crystal Palace, but in the second half they could not hold on firmly from the beginning. Wen Sheng still adhered to the tactics of the first half, pressing the opponent from a high position.
First, he was worried about starting to defend at the beginning and allowing Nottingham Forest to bring the threat into his own half. This was not good. At the very least, he should consider defending after more than 60 minutes.
Secondly, he knew that Nottingham Forest must adjust its tactics. Setting up the bus was something Wen Sheng thought Davis was most likely to do. Just like telling the players, Wen Sheng still wanted to continue to attack the opponent and continue to look for opportunities with crazy pressing.
, once again destroyed the opponent's fighting will established during the halftime break with a goal.
Who knew that Nottingham Forest would come out in full force in the second half, and it seemed that their players' fighting spirit was not weak.
It was unexpected, but Wen Sheng was immediately relieved. This method was also a good choice. Davis must have also seen that Crystal Palace's high-position defense was not impeccable, and that the coordination errors between the players could more or less be caught.
of.
Besides, after losing so much in the first half, defending 0:0 in the second half may not mean much to them.
Wen Sheng decisively made gestures, calling his players to retreat, changed his tactics, and switched to Crystal Palace's usual defensive counterattack.
Wen Sheng wanted to laugh at Davis trying to use the same tactics against him. Nottingham Forest was not used to that kind of tactics. It was conceivable that they had never prepared such tactics before. The tacit understanding between the players was a problem.
In addition, Wen Sheng has great confidence in his defensive line's backcourt play.
A few months ago, Wen Sheng began to focus on short passes on the ground and develop his ability to hit the ball with one kick. To this day, Wen Sheng cannot guarantee that his backcourt conduction will break the high press when facing super opponents, but against the English Championship team
, Wen Sheng is somewhat confident.
Crystal Palace began to set up buses. The advantage of the buses was that they were close enough. Wen Sheng did indeed improve their ability to hit the ball with one kick, but it became a bit unreliable when the distance was long. The advantage of the buses was that they could make up for this shortcoming.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, exposed its weaknesses. Crystal Palace gave up the ball and they could control the ball. There was no big problem. The problem was that their rhythm was too slow and their habits were too poor.
When attacking from a high position, pressing and attacking is all about taking the ball by surprise, speed is the key, and Nottingham Forest will definitely play like this without any end.
The frequent assists from the full-backs also caused a void in the backcourt. Nottingham Forest was playing with head and shoulders.
They soon reaped the consequences. In the 55th minute, shortly after both sides adjusted their tactics, Crystal Palace seized the opportunity to counterattack and Scannell scored a goal.
5:0!
This score is crazy and surprising. Who would have thought that Nottingham Forest, ranked third, would be beaten by Crystal Palace without any power to parry?!
The morale that the Nottingham Forest players had barely built up in the midfield disappeared in an instant. After the kick-off, Wen Sheng looked at the situation on the field and knew that there should be nothing to worry about in this game.
Chapter completed!
