At the beginning of the second half, both sides immediately got into the groove, and after the break, everyone recovered a lot, and the defense on both sides was busy again.

Both the head coaches, Wen Sheng and Alex Ferguson, were constantly moving around the sidelines to direct the team's attack.

They think about the same thing.

All want to strike first.

Although Ferguson felt that a draw would not kill him, he was absolutely unwilling to fight from the second half, attacking, if he could score first, maybe a victory could be exchanged.

It just so happened that Wen Sheng thought the same way.

It doesn't feel good to be a catch-up, and as time goes by, physical fitness declines, and it's not a good choice to put your hopes in the substitution adjustment and the next 20 minutes.

You played back and forth for more than ten minutes, there were not many shots on goal for both sides, there were very few mistakes at the back, and even Evans, the big colander on Manchester United's side, seemed to be quite solid today.

Seeing that the team's running ability was declining again, Wen Sheng hurriedly shouted on the sidelines, "Control!" Control! Get the ball under control! ”

The team needs to stabilize the tempo, and it is impossible to continue to attack the opponent as desperately as in the previous half!

With a decline in running ability, the team will not be able to maintain a compact formation, and there will definitely be a lot of problems in the transition between attack and defense, and it will be miserable to be used by the opponent.

Of course, you can continue to keep the team in the first half impactful, maybe the opponent will fall before you, but Wen Sheng doesn't need such an assumption, he prefers to make the assumption that he may fall first and can't maintain his vitality defensively.

Wensheng directed the team to change tactics, but Ferguson did not.

Ferguson hesitated slightly, and it turned out to be a big mistake.

When Crystal Palace deliberately reversed in the backfield, Manchester United's players seemed to see the weakness of the other party, and they wanted to force the opponent again, they did this in the first half, the effect was average, and then Crystal Palace wanted to control it, and the players of Manchester United remembered the explanation of the lord "Can't let Crystal Palace play its own rhythm!" So they pressed forward to force Crystal Palace to play the ball quickly.

Then in the 62nd minute, Manchester United's bad luck came, due to the formation press, Smalling was not focused, thinking about supporting Valencia, who knew that in just a few seconds, after Crystal Palace broke the ball at the back, Stroman made a long pass and accurately found Mertens on the right side.

Mertens hit the corner of the penalty area, shook Evans, and then faced the long-established Rio Ferdinand, without stage fright, relying on Vardy's cover, fake pass, the bottom of the foot shook, the bottom of the small angle burst, De Gea knelt, the action is not fast, but Mertens shot faster, and the luck is quite good, the ball drilled De Gea's small goal and refracted into the net.

2：1！

Crystal Palace, who played away, came from behind and overtook the score!

Wensheng and Crystal Palace fans jumped up!

Lawrence and the others immediately rushed to Wen Sheng's side, and everyone hugged each other.

"Damn, Dris's shot is so fucking beautiful!"

Everyone was thrilled and praised Mertens!

Mertens beamed with his short legs and rushed to the corner kick area to kneel in celebration.

The players rushed to Mertens, who was soon overwhelmed by the crowd.

"Oh yes! Bull ratio! Shushan Zhang Liang shouted in the group.

"Niubi!"

"Even Ferdinand suffered a loss! Cattle! ”

The fans in the group let out exclamation points.

There are not many people who dare to play big in front of Ferdinand, this Manchester United meritorious veteran is their anchor, the defense is steady and cool-headed, but it is this Mertens who plays him at this moment.

Fans who are familiar with Crystal Palace should know that Mertens does not often use dribbling, and Mertens basically develops according to the style in Wensheng's memory under Wen Sheng's point, good at teamwork, good at running, accurate shooting, and from time to time he will engage in a little flying immortals.

But that's not to say that Mertens won't dribble the ball, he's incredibly fast, and he's got a great combination of man and ball, but his weakness is that he's less physically disadvantaged and more disadvantaged, and it's for this reason that Wen Sheng asked him to reduce dribbling and focus more on teamwork and running.

In the Premier League, Mertens is a player who is not super with small dribbling skills and suffers, and you let him dribble past people and pass assists not only stifle his talent in running and shooting, but also often easy to be eaten by opponents, which is not cost-effective at all.

There is no shortage of strikers in the history of the Premier League who are small and particularly skilled, such as Zola, and later Hazard, Mertens is not as tall as them.

Gianfranco Zola is very good at getting out of place, as is Eden Hazard, who also feels a little better in terms of balance than Mertens.

Wensheng's use of Mertens and Ferguson's use of Ronaldo back then is a reason, Ronaldo was not good at fancy when he first debuted, he was like a numb, and his passing was good, but what is his greatest talent, he is still a goalscorer, Ferguson then transformed Ronaldo, and Ronaldo became a goal-scoring machine.

The essence of football competition is to send the ball into the opponent's goal, who cares about dribbling when there is a goal?!

The moment Mertens scored, Ferguson chewed gum a lot faster.

The old lord wants to scold Smalling for being a pig, and he wants to scold Evans for being a muddy can't hold up the wall!

At half-time, the lord watched Crystal Palace's goal several times, and had to admit that the lack of understanding between De Gea and Chris Smalling was the real reason for the United to concede the goal, not what Benatia collided with.

At this moment, Smalling looked at the ball again, and his eyes were fixed on the ball.

He doesn't know how many times he stressed that he had to concentrate in the game, especially the defenders.

But this kid is too young, and it seems that he hasn't changed much.

Is Mertens that hard to keep an eye on?!

The lord doesn't think so, but Vance Smalllin's concentration won't be pierced by a long pass?!

As for Evans, the lord thinks that he has given the youngster a lot of opportunities to play, but compared with the group of stunned young people in the Crystal Palace, the lord began to doubt his own vision, people are more than people, angry people, Evans is not a star and a half away from that Benatia.

Evans is better, after all, he has made up for the defense, but the defense is like a stake.

"Lack of concentration, playing as a full-back, his positional sense is not very good! It's not the first time Mertens has been missed, and Smalling has a lot to blame! Lineker was not very polite to the British star, "It would be a disaster to use him at right wing-back!" ”

Ferguson also wants to make a substitution, who will he use to change it?!

There is no one to change the lord, but unfortunately he is not Van Gaal, Master Fan's favorite thing is to transform players, and later Manchester United transformed Valencia and Ashley Young into fullbacks.

The one-goal lead did not break the morale of the Manchester United team, and they launched a fierce counterattack from behind, with a desperate posture.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, received instructions from Wen Sheng, and after the goal, the formation was immediately adjusted to 451, and An Anxin began to play defensive counterattacks.

Wen Sheng's intention in the second half is itself like this, if he can be the first one to play a defensive counterattack, let Manchester United monkey anxious!

Ferguson actually had the same idea, but now that Crystal Palace is ahead, Ferguson can only ask Manchester United to attack.

A goal seemed to wake up Manchester United, their formation was more forward, but the restriction of several key players of Crystal Palace was very good, Stroman played several effective long balls in this game, the lord began to notice him, Carrick is getting closer and closer to him, as for De Bruyne, his fitness seems to have decreased, Phil. Jones finally blocked him.

The counterattack that Wensheng expected didn't come out at all, but it didn't matter, Manchester United attacked fiercely and had more shots on goal, but there were still no absolute chances.

The Lord made a substitution in the 67th minute, Giggs came on and replaced Nani, Nani performed very well, but he also played in the Champions League in midweek, and he collided with Maggio at the beginning of the second half, and his ankle was a little sprained, and he didn't run so neatly, and the change of the Lord was also considered by injury factors, he was the same as Wen Sheng, and now he can't afford to be injured at all.

Wen Sheng didn't move, he didn't dare to take risks, the team's offense was not brilliant at the moment, but the defense was relatively solid, and he was afraid that the substitution adjustment would backfire.
