The current tournament countries have their own different styles, but throughout the years, successful teams have defended very well, let's say that Spain in the 2010 World Cup, they are not only one of the most beautiful teams in attack, but also a team with great defense, on the other hand, the Netherlands, play beautifully, but they are still some things behind.

On the South American continent, Brazil has begun to Europeanize, they can win the championship the most, Argentina is like the Netherlands, they have their own insistence, and no matter what the result, they are always a little bit behind.

And don't forget, luck is key.

"It's not terrible to lose a goal, it's terrible to lose a goal and don't know how to equalize, I don't know how to score!" Di Matteo is not the type of manager whose first priority is defense, and perhaps the main reason is that he says that the pace is too fast, and the Italian defensive experience may not be useful here, he just needs to concentrate on polishing a few characteristics of his team.

West Brom are the kind of team that concede goals every game, yes, from the beginning of the season to the present, whether it's the League Cup or the league, they have conceded goals, they have conceded every game, but they are often the ones who have the last laugh.

When he played for Arsenal, he took a very different approach from Wen Sheng, he emphasised high pressing, disrupted Arsenal's fluidity, and made Arsene Wenger's team never play in a fluid state, which actually caused a lot of pressure on Arsenal's players.

West Bromwich Albion, on the other hand, scored three goals through three sharp counter-attacks to win 3-2 away at Arsenal.

Against Crystal Palace today, Di Matteo's strategy was different, he actually played Wensheng's favorite defensive counterattack at Selhurst Stadium, and in terms of scoreline, he took a path that may have been wrong, he should not have questioned Crystal Palace's attacking ability, and was humiliated by Vardy and Boateng.

Di Matteo has not only played in Italy, but also in the Premier League for several years, and he knows the style of both countries, and he has his own understanding.

Today, the two of them inadvertently talked about the clean sheet, and Di Matteo's perception made Wen Sheng think deeply.

"Strength is everything!" Wen Sheng returned to his home and was still pondering.

With limited strength, Wensheng's choice last season was to put most of his energy into defense, relying on numerical superiority to establish defensive superiority, and offense relying on the free play of a few forwards.

Di Matteo may have chosen a different path, he won't stick to it, he doesn't trust it to bring him victory.

People change, maybe Di Matteo doesn't think like this when he comes to other teams, and Wen Sheng himself thinks that he may also think otherwise.

For example, if he is the manager of Chelsea, he doesn't have to remind us to defend all the time, but he should play good football so that he can please the owner, the fans and the players.

Now Crystal Palace is a vibrant team, a team with an extraordinary future, but after all, the current players' ability and experience are limited, Wen Sheng suddenly felt that he might have too high requirements for the players.

"They have grown up, and they have strength and experience, so they can take care of more! I still can't be too strict, it's easy to backfire! It took a night for Wen Sheng to realize such a truth, only when everyone's strength is enhanced, the team can complete the goal of controlling the game, and it is really impossible to achieve and force everyone.

It's like Boateng, if you ask him to wear embroidery needles, he can't do it!

Obsession, obsession with yourself!

Wen Sheng decided that he wanted to reform himself, and then thought that if he didn't have Di Matteo to talk to him, he wouldn't have thought so clearly.

Damn, Lao Di, you are so good to me!

Touching you once will definitely be a good thing!

For your sake, no, all three times for my sake, I won't take the Chelsea manager's position with you.

Wen Sheng crossed his fingers and counted correctly, Di Matteo did help him three times, once last season in the Championship West Brom home "send points", so that Crystal Palace got the much-needed three points, the second time was today at Selhurst Stadium, West Brom still "send points", the third time is to chat with Wen Sheng a few words, let him think through a lot of things.

Don't compete with Di Matteo for Chelsea's position, Wen Sheng feels that he really isn't just talking casually, after all, his reputation is not weak now, and after a year, he can't keep Chelsea really looking at himself.

"Bloomers" West Brom are in such good shape now, why did the boss come to Chelsea later?! Wen Sheng doesn't know much about it, if it weren't for the Champions League in his previous life, Wen Sheng wouldn't have known about Di Matteo, and he only found out that Di Matteo was mixed in West Brom after he was reborn.

Whatever, anyway, he won't compete for a position with Buddha Shuai!

...

A few days later, on the evening of November 4, Crystal Palace hosted Napoli in the fourth round of the Europa League.

After the last round of the competition, both Wen Sheng and the players have a lot of bottoms, but the sky is not beautiful.

It rained lightly in the evening.

This has left both ambitious teams struggling a bit, with Crystal Palace not being a team that likes long balls and not Napoli.

Everyone has played rain battles, Crystal Palace has played more, and there is no special practice for playing rain battles in London, but I have always experienced a lot.

Coupled with being at home, Crystal Palace have a slight advantage.

1:0, Crystal Palace won this game, reaching 10 points and already ensuring qualification.

In the other game of the group, Steaua Bucharest won 3-1 at home to Utrecht, and the two sides drew in the first leg, so that the second place on points is Bucharest Star, who are second with five points, Napoli with two points, and Utrecht with two points, who are third and fourth.

The 1-0 scoreline may be the only thing to be happy about, because Crystal Palace suffered two big players in a row in this game.

Mertens suffered a thigh strain after providing an assist for Jamie Vardy.

Nemanja Matic came off the bench with another ankle injury and eventually had to be replaced by Stroman.

Crystal Palace's injury list has been added again, how can Wen Sheng not be depressed.

"We paid a heavy price for this victory!" Wen Sheng commented on the game in front of reporters, and he felt that there was not much to say about the content of the game, neither side played a relatively smooth attack, and there were a lot of mistakes on the defensive end, but it was not so easy to be caught by the opponent.

In fact, Boateng has just returned in the midfield, and then Matic is injured again, Wen Sheng can only say that his own reserves are still enough, Ndiaye and Stroman have no problem.

As for Mertens, it's a bit more specific, Zaha's strength is still in passing, Mertens doesn't look at the ups and downs of form, I feel like I've been adapting, but his ability to score goals is really good.

Two days later, Crystal Palace hosted Everton, eighth in the league.

David Moyes was a manager who was particularly fond of crossing, and he later succeeded Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager, and his crazy crosses made him a laughing stock, but it's fair to say that Moyes was like that at Everton.

Everton's long-term fixed routine is to set side crosses, all kinds of crosses, Everton has such conditions, Baines on the left and Hibbert on the right, they are very good crosses.

What's more, Wensheng also knows that after the return of Coleman, who was loaned to Blackpool last season, he is also a full-back who is fast and crosses steadily on the wing.

David Moyes' main tactic is to create two-on-one or three-on-two opportunities on the wings, "We like to keep the width of the field while the central players find the moment to receive crosses through running", Moyes himself once said in an interview with the media.

Wen Sheng had played the game and knew that there was a very special character in the Everton team, Tim. Cahill, the Australian national football team, is not tall and his header ability is super strong, and now after knowing Moyes's tactics, Wen Sheng can quite understand why Cahill's header skills are good.

This thing even crosses every day, how can you practice a famous name!
