49. The eagle wants to catch the magpie

Cheryl was standing in the corner of the hall, and Wen Sheng got her a temporary work card, and asked her to follow her, saying that you can observe my work up close.

Cheryl had never been close to any team's work, and she seemed very excited, asking questions like a curious baby, but fortunately she was informed, and Wen Sheng rarely asked questions when she was working, just beside her.

In the morning, when Wen Sheng showed up at the training ground with her, the players of Crystal Palace whistled excitedly, to say that Wen Sheng is twenty-six, as a native of Croydon, he at least does not have too many secrets in front of this group of people, and it is well known that he has no girlfriend before.

Who would have thought that Wen Sheng would come to the training ground with a beautiful woman so soon, Wen Sheng blushed and repeatedly explained to Cheryl. Williams is a journalist, a journalist, but people obviously don't believe it.

Leaving the training work to Hawking and them, Wen Sheng almost escaped and brought Derry and Cheryl to the press conference.

Cheryl looked at Wen Sheng, who was comfortable with it, and couldn't help but admire herself, she understood that it was not easy to be the head coach of the team, and it was even more difficult for a manager in her 20s, Crystal Palace was also a Championship team, and Wen Sheng was the youngest one in history at this level.

"Looks like you've fully adapted to your current role!" At the end of the press conference, Wensheng, Derry and Cheryl walked to the training ground together, and Cheryl praised Wensheng.

"He can't fit in! Press conferences are a must for every manager, he has to face them! Derry couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Williams, would you like to know some secrets about Wen Sheng?!" ”

"Oh?!"

"What's my secret?!" Wen Shengqi is gone.

"Haha, looks like you've forgotten that you cursed the damn reporters just three days ago!" Delhi's eyebrow-squeezing revelations.

"What's going on?!" Cheryl couldn't help but laugh too, just looking at today's state Wen Sheng doesn't seem to be that kind of person.

"Alas, don't mention it! Anyway, I don't have a good impression of journalists, since I took office, I have participated in a lot of press conferences, and I have been faced with "torture"! Cheryl, do you understand?! They always thought I wasn't capable of leading Crystal Palace, and if I hadn't done what I have done now, I'd have been sent to hell! Wen Sheng confessed, "Is it wrong for me to curse and curse them in private?!" ”

"Sean, don't forget that you also scolded with me!"

"Haha, it's nothing, I think everyone has their own way of venting! Sometimes journalists are really annoying! Cheryl stroked her blonde hair, a little self-defeating.

"And you still want to be a journalist?! You can do anything else! ”

"I'm a journalist! Honest football journalist! Cheryl was serious, "Trust me, you're definitely a positive character in my pen!" ”

"Well, that's pretty much it!" Wen Sheng nodded.

"Then you think I'm a good journalist?!" Cheryl pursed her lips and smiled.

"Of course, I'm sure you are!" Wen Sheng also pretended to be serious.

"Look, look! Mr. Delhi, it is always easy for people to accept opinions that are in line with his heart, and opinions that are not good for him are and slander in someone's head! It's as simple as that to define a good journalist! Cheryl laughed and pointed at Wen Sheng.

"Ahem!" Derry laughed dryly, "Look! Danny, you've been fooled! ”

Wen Sheng was also happy, this girl was very cunning.

……

Newcastle is in the northeast of England, the road is relatively far, the game time is 3 o'clock in the afternoon on the 26th, no matter how poor Crystal Palace is, this long-distance game should go to the local accommodation and have to go to the local accommodation, so the team set off for Newcastle in the evening, the means of transportation is the train.

On the morning of the 26th, Crystal Palace found a training ground for a simple recovery training, and after an hour and a half rest in the hotel at noon, the team headed to St James's Park, which can accommodate more than 50,000 people, is the oldest and largest football stadium in the north-east and the sixth largest stadium in England.

Newcastle played in the Premier League last season, but the results were not good. Shearer's departure failed to save the team's relegation and their 16-year streak in the Premier League came to an abrupt end.

After the relegation, Alain. Shearer leaves, Chris. Hughton straightened up and became the team's head coach.

Newcastle's relegation has not been too much of a losing streak, making them one of the strongest teams in the Championship and favourites for promotion, with Hughton living up to this side and leading them to the top of the table and unbeaten at home.

Crystal Palace have been in excellent form of late, but critics are still not optimistic about their road trip ahead of this game, firstly because of their lack of quality, and secondly, Newcastle's home stadium is at least the devil's home stadium, and it will not be so easy for a Championship side to win against them.

Chris. Hughton was also an interesting one, telling his pre-match press conference that he said: "Palace are no secret in their tactics, they will tighten up and then wait for an opportunity to counter-attack! I'm sure they will still be like that against us! We are confident that we can break through their defenses! ”

This makes it clear that Crystal Palace's tactical style is not without the meaning of stimulating Wen Sheng, after all, the opponent has just defeated Wolves 4:0, don't you swell and swell? ! Is it worthy of the big win over Wolves?!

"Gentlemen! Do you know what kind of opponent we're going to face today?! Wen Sheng pinched a piece of paper and looked at his players.

"Newcastle!"

"Boss! It's a magpie! ”

"Magpies are most afraid of eagles!"

Everyone was still relatively relaxed, and replied with a smile.

'Yes, it's right, we played Newcastle today! Yes, their nickname is Magpie! Wen Sheng nodded, "But! Hmph, in the end, whether their magpie is afraid of our eagle or not, and whether our eagle can catch this magpie is still difficult to say! ”

"Do you know our opponents?!" Wen Sheng asked solemnly, "Do you know that Newcastle have only lost 3 of their 15 wins now?!" ”

"Did you know that they are unbeaten at home with 9 wins and 4 draws?!"

"Did you know that they have scored 26 goals in 13 games at home and conceded just six goals in total?!"

"Did you know that we've only won once and lost five of our last seven duels against them?!"

……

As Wen Sheng asked rhetorically one by one, everyone's faces gradually froze.

"Yes, you're up against an opponent who is top of the league, efficient in attack and rock-solid defensively! They are now unstoppable! ”

'Just two days ago, we beat Wolves! We performed flawlessly and impeccably! But you have to understand that that's in the past! You have to understand what kind of opponent we are facing today! ”

"I want the confidence that the victory over Wolves will give you, not pride, because we don't have any capital to be proud of! We only have 29 points now and we are still under the pressure of relegation! ”

"We've never been afraid of any opponent, but we shouldn't underestimate any opponent either!"

"Please don't underestimate our enemies! Any attempt to underestimate an opponent on the battlefield is like suicide! I don't want us to die in pride, but to live proudly, to show any enemy that we can defeat them! ”

"Tell me, gentlemen, can you do it?!"

"Yes!" This time it's really in unison!

"Excellent! Let me see your attitude on the pitch! I'm sure our claws will catch today's magpie!"

"Come on! Eagle! "The players are out and the fighting spirit is high.

Zaha's legs were trembling, and after training on the morning of the 25th, Zaha clearly heard that he would be the team's starter, and from that moment on Zaha was in extreme excitement, and he didn't sleep at all last night.

Wen Sheng's speech was deafening, and Zaha felt that his feet were about to stop listening!

Standing in St James's Stadium with the sounds of 50,000 fans in his ears was a great experience for him!

"Today is my stage!" Zaha said to himself, "From this day forward, everyone will know my name, Wilfried. Zaha! ”
