36. Post-match questioning

Lawrence, the scorer, deliberately praised Wen Sheng in an interview.

"Today's win was hard to come by, we started badly! But after half-time we were much better, Daniel was very smart, he told us how to play, we were more solid defensively, we were better offensively, he was great and I think with him we can achieve relegation! ”

The reporter's interview with Lawrence was a mistake in itself, he had been brainwashed and at the same time as a member of the coaching staff, how could he not say that Wen Sheng was good?!

Overall, in the post-game interview, the reporter did not cause much trouble for Wen Sheng.

Crystal Palace fans are actually very demanding, they are not fans of the giants, they know their team's weight, they will not require the team to win and look good, as long as they can win, it is the best.

scolded Wen Sheng at halftime, and many fans actually changed their tunes after the game.

"Anyway, we won! I think we should give Wen a little more time! ”

This tone became mainstream.

However, the media did not let Wen Sheng go, and there were very few media who felt positive about the results after the game, on the contrary, most of the media were criticizing Wen Sheng's debut.

"Why didn't he follow the tactics of Warnock?! It's a ready-made defensive system, the Palace players have a deep chemistry, and we have reason to believe that it will be a lot better than this game! Palace did win, but they really should be thankful to Speroni and the two bad strikers on the other side! Times columnist Oliver Murray. Kai was clearly very unhappy with the match.

Barnsley, by contrast, seems to be the winner! Palace had just six shots on goal in this game, their worst game of the season! But the football is round, and they "stole" three points from Barnsley! The young Wen kept walking around on the sidelines, screaming with all his might, showing his helplessness against the team's situation! The most important thing he should do now should be to go to church and pray for good luck in the next game! "The Sun" Mike. McGrath should belong to Oliver. Kay's people.

There are a lot of arguments like this, and there is no way to refute them, because Crystal Palace really played badly in this game.

Wen Sheng didn't care about the reports, he didn't read the newspaper at all, and he knew he would be criticized by the media.

It makes you uncomfortable to see it, so why bother watching it.

On the day of the end of the game, Wen Sheng announced the good news in the locker room, a day off for Christmas.

England's professional league is different from other European leagues, there is no winter break here, playing games on Christmas is not news, Crystal Palace's next game will be played on the 26th, and Christmas can be a day.

"But we still have to train well before the holidays! The game was indeed won, and our performance was improving from the first minute of the game, but it wasn't enough! We need to keep paying attention! ”

The first game after Christmas is also a home game, which is the fundamental reason why Wensheng can still squeeze time for everyone to have a holiday.

If it's an away game, you'll only have dinner on Christmas Day.

……

The team started the next day without rest, and began to purgatory at the Beckenham training base again, Wensheng paid more attention to detail, and he always insisted that his tactics were suitable for this team, and he could not change because of the first embarrassment.

There have also been some in the coaching staff who have held back, with Derry believing that the team is putting too little force into attack to create enough threat to the opposition.

Derry thinks so, on the one hand, because there is no attack, how can there be a goal, how can the team win, on the other hand, the outside public opinion still affects him, Crystal Palace's attack is too bad, and there are too few opportunities created.

Everyone is criticising Crystal Palace's pathetic attack in the first game, and it is normal for Derry to have an opinion.

"The relegation we need now! The most important thing in relegation is defense, we should try to get as many points as possible in the game! We couldn't have more options! ”

'Attacking is only the second most important thing, I know we need to score goals, but it's definitely not attacking now!'

Wen Sheng would not agree to invest too many troops in the offensive.

"I agree with Daniel!" Lawrence began by saying, "Why did we win the last game because we held on, if Barnsley scored, would we have had a chance easily?!" Daniel is right, the front court needs space to sprint! Focus on defending with one stone! ”

Joey and Hawking, not to mention, of course, want to support Wen Sheng's opinion.

Delhi looked a little helpless.

Wen Sheng saw that he was still obsessed, so he had to explain again, but he aimed at Lawrence first.

"Forgive me, Matt, I have to give me my reason, and it's because you and Davis both have a fatal flaw! You're all slow, so I have to keep a close distance between the midfielders and the defence, and between the defence and Speroni, otherwise the gap in between can be easily exploited by the opponent! ”

In Lawrence's name, this is something that cannot be helped, but it is true that people who understand it can understand that it is indeed true when they think about it, and it is true.

Delhi thought about it and finally stopped arguing, the central defenders were short of people, and Wen Sheng was also a helpless choice.

If you want to talk about tactical ideas, Wen Sheng has a lot of things in his head, but what kind of tactics also need to be suitable for the team, just like the situation of Crystal Palace now, many players can't use it, and they can't play Warnock's set at all, so they can only consolidate the defense first.

Although Lawrence was a little angry, a member of his coaching team had to admit this fact, but the more he listened, the more he felt that Wensheng was amazing, whether it was from the strategy of the whole season or the team's tactics, it was right to consolidate the defense first.

"I'm sorry, maybe I was wrong!" Derry felt a little ashamed, he just saw the performance on the field, and when he heard the outside world, he began to question Wen Sheng's tactical arrangement, he obviously supported Wen Sheng earlier, and he was sorry for his lack of determination.

"No, no, no! Sean! You don't need to apologize! Wen Sheng shook his head, "In fact, everyone is susceptible to interference from the outside world, not only you, maybe the players will also question it!" ”

"So what do you do?!" Joey was taken aback, worried that his cousin would not be in his place.

"What to do! You know?! Victory is the best medicine! Any suspicion can be cured! Wen Sheng laughed.

"As long as we can get better and better and win more victories, who will doubt this tactical system?! It's just that during this time, I can only work hard for Sean and Matt, pay more attention to the players, and enlighten everyone! Wen Sheng gave Lawrence and Derry another important task.

"You don't need to worry so much, in fact, I think the young people in the team are very good, they will listen to you, but some old players may not agree with your tactics, but what does it matter, they can't play now, and when the team's results come up, they can't find anything to say even if they return!" Derry said.

And so it is.

"Alas, I don't know when it's going to be a head, I really hope the transfer period will end tomorrow!" Wen Sheng lamented in front of everyone, the limited selection of personnel makes it difficult for the team, Wen Sheng doesn't like some veterans in the team, but many of them still want to be on the field, they have the strength to help the team.

"Don't be discouraged, William. Carlton may just be making a show for some people! Daniel, you should still ask him to keep some important players when the time is right, it's good for the team! Lawrence reassured Wen Sheng.

Wen Sheng smiled bitterly, it is okay to make a request, but Wen Sheng also has his own little abacus, it is not good for him to get into trouble with Carlton, he is just temporary, and it is not impossible for Lawrence to let him get out of class in minutes if he doesn't agree with a word.

Compared with the shortage of personnel, Wen Sheng obviously cares more about how long he can work in the position of interim head coach!
