Lao Lei understood the strategy of Crystal Palace, De Bruyne retreated his position deeper, and made full use of his long passing ability to play behind the Crystal Palace defense, De Bruyne's long pass is very distinctive, not high but the ball speed is fast, the most important thing is more accurate, Crystal Palace's style of play is basically directly past Tottenham's midfield defense to play their back.

Combined with three fast strikers, this style of play is still quite threatening.

In the control of the backfield, Lao Lei also understood that this should be a plan to lure the enemy in-depth, but he still wanted to grab the start.

Lao Lei's real thoughts are like this, the outside media always say that Crystal Palace has one less day off than Tottenham, but is it really worse than Tottenham Hotspur with full personnel?!

Lao Lei doesn't think so, a Crystal Palace player is young, can run, and obedient tactical execution is strong, unlike Tottenham's group of old fritters, for example, Van der Vaart has the ability, but if you let him run actively, he can't, he is not that kind of play, and Pavlyuchenko, for example, he does not have the ability to move quickly. Second, they played against Milan in midweek, Milan's game did cost Tottenham a lot of physical energy, and who Crystal Palace was facing, it was Sparta Prague, that team did not bring any test to Crystal Palace at all, Lao Lei felt that Crystal Palace just took a plane to Prague to travel around and then came back with a small victory.

So Lao Lei felt that I had no advantage, so he wanted to start a wave.

But Lao Lei didn't want to think about it, it was precisely because of their lack of movement ability, and their own high-level pressing was not their usual routine, how could this limit Crystal Palace's backcourt control.

Lao Lei hurriedly issued instructions to the team, no longer taking high pressing, but retracting the formation, relying on two fast players on the flanks near the midfield to adduct in, forming the first line of defense against Crystal Palace's midfield.

Lao Lei still has the goods, after all, after so many years, he has no ability to say anything about the past.

Their style is hard, relying on their bodies and fouls to stop Crystal Palace's advances, a style that has a typical British style in it.

Don't underestimate the use of the body and fouls, which have a lot to do with the formation of the Premier League style.

Fans have the impression that the Premier League's style is fast, with a fast pace of attacking conduction, which is fueled by universal physical contact, to make an analogy.

The same kind of physical contact may already constitute a foul in other leagues, but it is not a foul in the Premier League, which causes many teams to think why don't I actively use my body?!

As a result, everyone's defensive posture is often in the active and aggressive type, which means that they will take the initiative to grab, rather than retreating and relying on the numerical advantage and position advantage to curb the opponent's transmission, and they will successfully cut off the opponent's ball, so the ball exchange in the Premier League is very frequent, and the statistics will be higher than other leagues.

In this case, when the ball is broken, it is best to choose to pass forward quickly, because at this time the opponent may still have a large gap, which creates a fast-paced style in the Premier League.

Tottenham are such a style, but Crystal Palace is not that style, and when it gradually became clear that Tottenham's fast-paced break was really causing problems for his own family, Wen Sheng immediately asked his players to slow down.

"Slow down!" Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines and pressed down with both hands, still having to attract the opponent out, playing the wings and exerting speed.

The benefit of slowing down the pace is not only to attract the opponent out, but more importantly, it is conducive to the stability of Crystal Palace's defense, in the fast-paced situation, the midfielder is too easy to concede the ball, which will definitely cause the back line to fall into a dangerous situation, Wen Sheng thinks that his defense line has been clean sheet for a few games, but it is not necessarily really reliable, the key is to see if the midfield can give enough protection, the rhythm slows down, and everyone's position can be better.

The game went into a stalemate, with Crystal Palace playing better and Tottenham a little worse.

As the game wore on, Palace were lucky enough to go close to scoring.

De Bruyne played very well, and Lao Lei, like Dalglish, experienced De Bruyne's jump in the forward midfield position, this kid is really good.

In the 16th minute, Tottenham's fast attack was broken, De Bruyne was bold, in his own half of the three Tottenham players in a row, the ball seemed to grow under his feet, not to mention, the key people took 30 meters and finally passed out, on the momentum to play Tottenham a counterattack, Vardy unfortunately hit the post, disappointed De Bruyne's performance.

De Bruyne's performance caused the adrenaline rush of the Crystal Palace fans at the scene, causing everyone to exclaim.

On the other hand, Tottenham's youngster Bale, I don't know if he used too much force against Milan, and his performance today was very average, he once tried to overtake Klein on the sideline, but the overtaking did not become Klein's stuck position and fell on the sideline.

Old Ray also vigorously expressed his dissatisfaction, thinking that Klein had fouled.

Referee Anthony. Taylor ignored Ray's displeasure.

To be honest, Crystal Palace are the cleanest team in the Premier League, the cleanest team to be exact, and no team has fewer yellow and red cards than them.

The reason why Wen Sheng was praised by the media as having strong tactical ability is mainly because Crystal Palace does rely more on the system in terms of defensive organization, and most of the goals conceded are caused by the limited personal ability of the players.

In the previous game against Manchester United, Crystal Palace suffered the loss of the referee, and now everyone is a little cautious when enforcing the law against Crystal Palace.

Today's love for fouls is Tottenham, especially in the face of Crystal Palace's counterattack, their defenders always like to use fouls to give Crystal Palace a chance to set pieces, Wen Sheng guessed that Lao Lei probably studied his own set-pieces, so he was so unscrupulous.

"Fuck, from now on, I'll practice hard and practice set-pieces! Next time you meet me, see if you dare to be arrogant?! "Wen Sheng hated itchy, but there was no way, in the first 20 minutes, Crystal Palace got 3 set-piece opportunities on the periphery of the opponent's penalty area, all of which were useless, and there was indeed a lack in this aspect.

The clock of the first half passed quickly, and the 45 minutes were fast to come and go, and the two sides played 0-0 on the pitch.

Wen Sheng is not satisfied, the team's rhythm is not well controlled, he hopes that the team will not play too anxiously, control the rhythm, and don't let Tottenham play speed, but the team is not doing very well, although his side also got a chance, but also let Tottenham get a chance.

"Kicking too much! We have to try to avoid the speed shock of the other party! You're going too fast, who's going to solve all the defensive problems?! Let the backline figure it out on their own?! To win, we have to build a solid defence! ”

"The overall movement of the team is a bit messy, and when the pressure passes, the formation has to move up as a whole!"

Wen Sheng criticized the team in a rambling manner, not that he didn't want everyone to attack, but he just felt that it was too simple for everyone to pass the ball.

"We're going to get them running! Move it! Exhaust them! ”

"Slow is fast, fast is slow! It's the rhythm, it's the rhythm we need to play, not the feeling of kicking and forgetting the rhythm! ”

The players listened to Wen Sheng while drinking water, and the fifteen-minute break almost made Wen Sheng pass.

The players on both sides returned to the pitch, Crystal Palace was more patient, there was no chance to return the pass, occasionally the winger came to the breaking point, De Bruyne came to the breaking point, creating a threat to the opponent, but most of the time they were not stable.

Lao Lei thinks Wen Sheng is a bit of a scoundrel, but he also can't do it, his team is not used to putting buses, in the second half as the midfield is exhausted, their fitness declines, and Crystal Palace's side is more and more able to catch gaps.

What Wen Sheng is waiting for is such an opportunity, control the ball, let them run, run too much and get tired, can they be so ruthless in the midfield?! Obviously not, as long as Crystal Palace plays once or twice, it is definitely enough for Tottenham to drink a pot.
