164. Uncle Sam

After Wen Sheng finished reading the article, Cheryl talked to Wen Sheng about today's Stamford Bridge game.

There are many love stories of love at first sight in the world, but it is definitely not counted between Wensheng and Cheryl, Cheryl's feeling for Wensheng was in those days when she was with the team, Wensheng showed concentration and wisdom, and the appearance of Zhizhu in her hand was imprinted in Cheryl's mind, which led to the success of Wensheng's courtship.

Cheryl undoubtedly adores her boyfriend, and the Chelsea battle is, in her opinion, a classic battle of Wensheng's career.

"It's not a classic! The real classic was last year's FA Cup knockout! That game convinced me that I could make a difference in my coaching career! That's when I felt like a genius! ”

Wen Sheng didn't set the bar for this game, having already held Arsenal to a draw this season and now another win over Chelsea, but neither game can be called a classic.

In the first game against Arsenal, the team had just made its debut in the Super League, and there were many problems, giving Arsenal a lot of opportunities, especially after Cesc Fabregas came on, the team did not do a very good job of fighting for the ball for Arsenal, and there were more passing errors.

In the second game against Chelsea, the team's performance improved, but he felt that Chelsea's form in this game was very bad, neither wing was playing, only Drogba was strong enough, and Chelsea were sent off early, which felt unfair.

"How hard it was last year!" Wen Sheng sighed, last year the team did not have a player who could control the ball in the frontcourt, the only breaking point was Zaha, the team was a serious defensive counterattack, and could only play a counterattack, of course, last year's defense line was very good, and Chelsea did not expect Crystal Palace to defend so deadly, it was simply a dead battle.

"The defence was good today, Drogba was in good shape, but if Benatia hadn't been injured, they wouldn't have scored so easily!" Benatia was arguably the biggest surprise of the last two games.

It's just too good, it feels like a seamless connection, but some criticism is that the tacit understanding between him and Morgan is not enough, both of them belong to the kind of central defenders who like to grab, but there must be a protective relationship between each other, it is impossible for both of them to rob, in that case, they will be exploited, and today Ancelotti sent Anelka for a while.

Anelka was there for the gaps between them, but Anelka's form was not good, and his teammates were not very good and failed to take advantage of the occasional lack of understanding between Morgan and Benatia.

"You have to polish it well! Oneu's performance this season can't be said to be too bad, but at least so far he hasn't been too convincing! There is no doubt that Wen Sheng felt that he might be losing money by buying Oneu.

Oneu has the height, he has the body, and there is no problem with his usual training performance, but the mistakes of being a central defender are fatal, and he makes more mistakes than Morgan.

It's hard for Wen Sheng to explain this phenomenon, maybe Oneu has a psychological problem, who knows.

At present, Benatia, although he and Morgan are not so compatible, but he is brave, decisive, and handles the ball neatly, unlike Oneu who sometimes hesitates to handle the ball.

In this way, Wen Sheng and Cheryl had an in-depth exchange of their feelings and views on their own team players.

"But anyway, tomorrow the media will definitely be very enthusiastic about you!" Cheryl said with a grin.

There are always one or two games in each round that will receive strong media attention, and this round of the Double Red Club is naturally the focus of attention, but Crystal Palace are clearly not happy with this situation, and they have managed to stand up and steal the show.

Joke! Stamford Bridge! Chelsea! 2:1! Reversal!

How can such a game not steal the limelight, Crystal Palace has a strong presence.

"Solid defending! Brave Crystal Palace have brought pain to the Blues Chelsea again at Stamford Bridge! Sky Sports wrote in a post-match commentary that "Daniel. Wen's team continues to surprise everyone, they don't worry about physical confrontation at all, and they have good control and chance-making ability! ”

Other media outlets followed suit, "I'm coming!" The Guardian used a photo of Wen Sheng standing on the sidelines of Stamford Bridge directing the battle in sports headlines.

"As a first-year freshman, Wen has had an impressive start to the Premier League...... "Their columnist predicts that Crystal Palace will be the title spoiler in the new season.

This is not to say that Crystal Palace has the strength to compete for the title, but that Crystal Palace has already scored points against the two giants Arsenal and Chelsea, and it seems that they always like to play elite, and the teams competing for the title are not elite.

After completing the game against Chelsea, Crystal Palace got 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the first 5 rounds of the league, accumulating 8 points, this result is actually in the forefront, ranking fifth, of course, it is only the fifth round, and there are still 33 rounds of games before the end of the season, but this has made many media begin to assert that Crystal Palace has the potential to be a dark horse this season.

After returning to the team on vacation, Wen Sheng said in an interview with the official website of Crystal Palace: "We have performed well so far, I like the title of dark horse, we hope to become a dark horse, but after all, it is still early, we have to see what can happen in the future!" ”

A few days later, Crystal Palace welcomed Blackburn Rovers at Selhurst Stadium, and their manager Sam Allardyce gave Crystal Palace and Wensheng a flood of praise before the game.

"Daniel is probably the most talented coach of the younger generation! He's a talented coach and what he's achieved at Crystal Palace is incredible! ”

'Palace's results speak for themselves, they are a tough opponent!'

and so on, don't smash Wen Sheng's head with his life.

Who doesn't want to hear praise, Wen Sheng also wants to hear it, but he also knows whether he is sincere or not, Wen Sheng has never dealt with Big Sam before, so he has to wonder what Big Sam means?! Anesthetize yourself?! Makes me dizzy?!

That's pretty much what Allardyce meant, on the one hand, he did think that Wen Sheng and Crystal Palace played well, and on the other hand, there was no pre-match psychological warfare, and he sent Wen Sheng some high hats to see if it was possible to make Wen Sheng faint.

Blackburn are a tough opponent and Sam Allardyce is a tough manager.

Wen Sheng played defensive counterattack in Crystal Palace before, and was scolded by many media, Allardyce played almost the same tactics as Wen Sheng in Bolton back then, and he also started by playing defensive counterattack, which was criticized by many media, but what does it matter?! The Bolton he led in those years was also a well-known tough bone in the Premier League!

Wen Sheng has never dealt with Big Sam, but Wen Sheng still understands some of Big Sam's coaching concepts, and the two of them have a lot in common.

For example, the emphasis on defense, let's say some views on the space in the front court, Big Sam's team plays very directly offensively.

Big Sam thinks that the return pass or horizontal pass will give the opponent enough time to return to defense, and Wen Sheng also doesn't like to play the offense too complicated, but he is different from Big Sam in that he emphasizes the effective use of the ball, long passes are not the mainstream, short passes are coordinated, with the flexible running of limited players, so that the quality of the counterattack is higher, and the speed will not be much slower.

Moreover, Wensheng also conducts strict training on the player's one-kick ball ability, which is not to change the ball control or suppression, but mainly to facilitate everyone's offensive ball ability and backcourt control.

In Wensheng's tactics, backcourt control is obviously also a very important part.

Now that Big Sam is visiting Selhurst Stadium with the Roses, Wen Sheng really wants to know what kind of surprise Big Sam will give him.
