342. Counter-killing
Zhang Liang had to admit that Ren Xing was right, Villarreal made a mistake in the opening game, giving the opponent a chance to shoot, and they didn't seem to find any good way to restrain Crystal Palace's high pressing.
In La Liga, Barcelona's on-the-spot counter-robbery is also very powerful, but they mainly play the ball and oppress, most of the time they go around in circles with you, so they give the defense time to settle down, Crystal Palace's way of playing is otherwise, they pass the ball fast, force the robbery, and will not give you the opportunity to fall into the position to defend at all.
When the attack failed, they immediately ran up and scrambled, and Villarreal's players had a big problem with the ball at the back.
Garrido didn't want to crack the opponent's possible English style of play, he knew that the team needed to control the ball, but the problem was that the ball was not so easy to control.
In the sixth minute, the optimism of the Crystal Palace fans was dealt a heavy blow.
Stroman made a mistake in the back and was stopped by De Guzman when he stepped up.
Rossi got the ball, like an eye in his back, cut cross-cutting from his back, then turned and shot low with his feet.
His shot from the edge of the box was simply amazing, not to mention McCarthy's crotch, and the angle was extremely tricky, clearly running into a dead corner.
The change was very sudden, Navas's position was not very good, and in the face of this shot that was not particularly fast, he fell to the ground and pounced sideways, and Navas did not even touch the ball.
The ball rolls into the corner!
Villarreal, who was playing away, actually took the lead in a passive situation!
There weren't many Villarreal fans who came to the stadium today, but they were instantly ignited by Rossi's goal and cheers rang out throughout the stadium.
Wen Sheng was furious, brother doesn't want to lose face?!
So many fans watched, and then you were easily killed by others?!
It's not my fault, it's your laxity!
The swearing words popped out of Wen Sheng's mouth one by one?!
"What the fuck are you eating?!"
"Focus?! You guys are fucking relaxing like that?! β
"Who the fuck do you think you guys are?!"
The rampaging Wen Sheng stunned the members of the coaching staff, you must know that Wen Sheng hasn't been mad for some days, especially when he is in the game, he still pays attention to the issue of demeanor.
"Uh, or convince Daniel?!" Roy is naΓ―ve.
"How to persuade?! Why don't you go on?! To stop him from going crazy now is to go against him, are you sure you want to go?! Lawrence snorted coldly, Wen Sheng's madness was not untargeted, maybe it was just a pretext.
Stephen Hawking, of course, agrees with Lawrence, that players need a little pressure, and Wen Sheng's scolding will put enough pressure on them.
"Losing a ball like this?! I couldn't have imagined it! Ren Xing shook his head, his face bitter.
"Alas, this is not good news for Crystal Palace, and now we can only pray that Villarreal will not flinch!" Zhang Liang sighed.
The probability of Villarreal shrinking is not large, and the team is not the kind of team that shrinks the style, even against Real Madrid and Barcelona Villarreal is not the kind of team that relies on the bus.
Naturally, they were not like this against Crystal Palace, otherwise how could there be a steal from De Guzman, how could it be possible to score?!
Wen Sheng's words stimulated the players, everyone can't say that they don't pay enough attention to this game, but they may still be a little negligent in the details, whether it is Stroman's conceded goal or Morgan's easy passing by Rossi, or McCarthy's untimely blocking, in fact, there is a shadow of laxity.
It's only been a few minutes since the beginning, and the gongs and drums are beating in front, do you really think your opponent is a rookie?!
Garrido just set up a double back in defense and paid more attention to the protection of the defensive line, and the front court still gave a lot of freedom.
Wen Sheng began to ask the wingers on both wings to start pulling in, and the full-backs pressed up.
After Villarreal's goal, morale went up a lot, but they were still suppressed.
In the 10th minute, under the continuous pressure of Crystal Palace, Villarreal gave Crystal Palace a set-piece opportunity.
De Bruyne and Larsson combined for a short corner, and Larsson's kick-to-foot cross was met by Morgan, who jumped through the crowd and headed the ball into the Lopez goal.
Morgan actually didn't bounce very well, but fortunately, his body was strong enough, and Larson's shake just now gave Morgan a certain amount of preparation for jumping, and the accurate landing point allowed Morgan to take advantage.
βyes!β Ren Xing, Zhang Liang and his partners around him high-fived each other, jumping and jumping in the stands, and such a quick equalizer was simply not too wonderful for Crystal Palace.
"What a bonus!" Ren Xing said happily.
This sentence can cause dissatisfaction among everyone.
"How can this be considered a surprise, I almost scored before I saw Vardy's shot just now! If it weren't for Lopez's divine help, Crystal Palace would have equalized the score long ago! β
"That's it, after conceding the goal, in just a few minutes, I counted, and we have already shot the goal three times, and every time it is a big threat! Even if Morgan doesn't score this goal, Villarreal won't last long! β
Everyone refuted Ren Xing.
Yes, Ren Xing knew that he had stabbed the hornet's nest, so he quickly closed his mouth.
Wen Sheng was not so excited, he was relieved in his heart, and his face was still cold.
Lawrence looked at Wen Sheng's face and thought: Okay, it seems that if the team can't get a big win today, Wen Sheng may still teach the players a good lesson.
The following time began to enter the time of Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace's pressing was very strong, and Garido's players were still not unwilling to sit still, and actually moved forward in formation and fought with Crystal Palace in the midfield, who knew that this was the beginning of disaster.
In the 20th minute, Crystal Palace broke the ball in the midfield, De Bruyne transferred, Mertens, Vardy, Hao Junmin between the three wonderful cooperation, and finally Hao Junmin scored a counter-goal.
They were even more excited.
As a fan from China, Hao Junmin's start was a surprise, and Hao Junmin's goal was even more unexpected, no one expected that in such a heavyweight game, Hao Junmin would score his first goal at Crystal Palace.
Hao Junmin also flew up with excitement, and the fans shouted "haohaohao!"
Ren Xing and they also smiled and shouted with the Crystal Palace fans: "Good, good!" β
Wen Sheng still didn't show a smile, he was very calm, and he didn't even applaud when he stood on the sidelines.
Lawrence didn't care about Wen Sheng pretending to be thirteen on the sidelines, and rushed directly from the coach's seat to the sidelines to celebrate, but fortunately they kept a little sanity and didn't go to Wen Sheng.
"What's next?!" Zhang Liang asked Ren Xing with a wink.
"I guess there will be a massacre!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, Villarreal's defense made them all shake their heads, the defensive attitude was not resolute enough, and they clearly set up double backs, which felt like they were acting on the surface, the formation was scattered, and Rossi's goal was not so much that they played well offensively, but that he was really lucky.
The role of the double back in the back is not obvious, and they can also see that the opponent's back waist ability is still limited, and the ability to shoot the ball and control and guide is almost meaningless, and it is not good to intercept.
Under Crystal Palace's high-post defensive strategy, the opponent made too many mistakes, so he could not be penetrated?!
But the development of the story is not what they expected, although the Crystal Palace is very fierce, but you have to slow down, right?!
The high pressing tactics, the fast tempo, the physical energy consumption of the players is huge, the high-intensity rhythm cannot be sustained, in fact, after the second goal, the rhythm of Crystal Palace's attack slowed down, and the pressure on Villarreal's burden was also relaxed.
The adjustment was made by Wen Sheng, even if the players really wanted to continue to maintain the kind of storm after the opening, it was actually difficult, and Wen Sheng's adjustment gave everyone time to breathe a sigh of relief.
