57. Defend the bus
Are you ready to face the "torture"?! Cheryl asked, holding back a smile.
In the afternoon, the team started training, Wensheng was required to attend the pre-match press conference against Peterborough, and one night the news about Wensheng and Crystal Palace was already flying all over the sky, there were positives, but there were more negatives, after all, people especially like gimmicks, and there is always an inexplicable pleasure to see others being criticized and unlucky.
Wen Sheng has reached a state where he can make others jealous.
Today's press conference will undoubtedly be a "torture"!
"I'm a giant! I'm fearless! Wen Sheng smiled and strode into the press conference hall of the training base.
He is really not afraid, he hardly pays attention to the news, he already has a lot of football in his head, why listen to these uncrowned kings, he needs information Joey will help him collect.
He'll admit he's a guy who puts himself in a trap, but he's having fun, and he knows he's angry about negative news too, so the best way to do that is to stay away from that stuff.
Media lights flickered, and reporters raised their hands.
At first it was friendly and all the questions were about the upcoming match against Peterborough, but after a few questions, the reporters started talking about yesterday's game.
"Wen, after the game, Hughton accused your team of being in the box all the time and not having the slightest idea of winning! What do you think about this?! ”
"I can understand that Chris is in a bad mood after losing!" Wen Sheng said with a smile, "As for the idea of not winning, I think this statement is difficult for me to accept, it is impossible for a team that does not want to win to win, and the fact is that we won!" Isn't it?! ”
Cheryl stood outside the door and clapped her hands in praise, and Wen Sheng answered well.
They threw the same question at Sean. Delhi, Deri's eyes grew, "My thoughts are the same as Daniel's!" ”
Reporters began to look through the data, all kinds of enumerations, indicating that Crystal Palace's current tactics are extremely boring, that is, to put a bus.
"I admit we did put the bus in order not to concede the ball!" Wen Sheng was still smiling, not angry at all, "There is no problem with you thinking that it is a shameful behavior to put on a bus, I respect everyone here, I also respect the commentators who hide behind the TV screen, and I also respect the columnists who only write articles on the column to earn some pocket money!" But I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of putting on the bus, which is good because it allowed us to keep the door and win! ”
The reporters were really dumbfounded, and Wen Sheng was the first head coach to admit that he was on the bus.
"Don't you think that's killing the charm of football?! It's all like you, who still watches the ball?! One reporter couldn't help but teach a lesson.
"Since the birth of professional football, there has been no one goal that has been detached, that is, competition! No matter what tactics are used, the goal of every team is to win the game, and that's the essence of professional football! You say no one watches, Selhurst Stadium has an attendance rate of over 90% at every game, and there are countless fans cheering us on at every home stadium! My fans and I are on the same page, we all want to win the game! We are not responsible for all the fans, we are only responsible for our fans, and our fans want to win and want to stay in this league. Wen Sheng said very seriously.
"There have been many schools and tactics in the development of football, and any kind of tactic will say that you or you are not qualified to deny a tactic!" Wen Sheng pointed his finger at the reporters in the audience, faintly angry, and his words were a little heavy.
Derry quietly kicked him, and Wen Sheng took a sip, he also knew that he had offended this group of masters.
"Forget it, damn it, let it out! If you are offended, you are offended! What roots do I have to dig into! As long as you can control the team! Wen Sheng thought secretly.
Arrogant guys! Many reporters gritted their teeth and went back to describe Wen Sheng as a devil.
"Wen, you accused Barton after the game of saying that he had a character problem......"
"Stop! Mr. Journalist, I never said that there was something wrong with Barton's character! I'm just saying that his character is well known! Wen Sheng interrupted the reporter's greeting.
"Regarding Patton's question, I don't want to discuss it! Because there's nothing to say about it, the story of what happened yesterday is over! You can ask him and see what he can do for you, and I don't have much to say here! Wen Sheng didn't give reporters a topic to dig into at all.
However, someone still asked: "Barton, say that you haven't grown any hair!" What do you think about this?! ”
"Whether Mao has grown Qi or not is a private question, and I won't answer it! Barton hadn't seen it, and he was just guessing! Here, as a party concerned, I tell you that my hair has grown! "Wen Sheng is just nonsense, the reporters are simply speechless, is this what Barton meant?!
"Barton means you're too young, he thinks you're still a kid!" A reporter pointed out "well-intentionedly".
"Do you understand that?! Then I'll have to ask Barton to find out if you're right! "Wen Sheng is just messing around.
Looking at the reporters looking at each other, Wen Sheng felt an inexplicable feeling of refreshment in his heart.
Derry couldn't help laughing, but he also had a lot of worries, he felt that it was not a good thing for Wen Sheng to offend reporters today, but the matter had come to this, and it was useless to worry.
After more than half an hour, the press conference ended, and the reporters found that they couldn't find any gimmicks, so they could only write about Wensheng's arrogant and rude attitude.
"What a tongue you have!" On the way back to the office, Cheryl teased Wen Sheng.
"It's not that I'm a mouthful, it's that I'm an honest guy and I like to get straight to the point! There's nothing wrong with that! Wen Sheng also learned to shrug his shoulders.
…..
The next day, January 30, Selhurst Stadium was filled with spectators, and the victory conquered the hearts of the people the fastest, and the fans erected a huge TIFO of Wensheng, and "Wonder Boy" Wensheng incarnated the image of Superman.
None of the Crystal Palace players have enjoyed this kind of treatment, but it is quite surprising that interim manager Wen Sheng has received such a courtesy in just over a month.
Wen Sheng didn't expect the fans to do this, in addition to being moved or moved, walking at the entrance of the passage, Wen Sheng has become a star player, asking him to sign autographs, shake hands with a lot more fans than on the last home day, away victories over Wolves and Newcastle have completely won the hearts of the fans.
The Collins family saw this scene in the stands and were sincerely happy for Wensheng, and Wayne did not forget to show off, "I knew Danny was a genius!" He's a genius and he's going to win everything! ”
Elizabeth gave her uncle a blank look, the season is still early, maybe today is the beginning of the collapse.
Whoever it is, Elizabeth always seems to like the opposite character.
Wen Sheng's treatment made many players itch, but they knew that Wen Sheng deserved this honor.
But the captain Derry smiled and said to his teammates on the field: "Damn, if he wasn't from Croydon, he would have been treated like this?!" ”
Everyone laughed, yes, Wen Sheng is a local.
The players who came through the Academy are even more sympathetic, and they are especially loved by the fans.
Peterborough now only has 18 points, sitting in the bottom of the table, 10 points away from 21st-placed Sheffield Wednesday, which is a big difference, but it is not impossible to complete the task of relegation, there are still more than ten rounds of league games to go, it is still early, but the task is quite difficult.
So don't look at the opponent as weak, in fact, this is a tough battle.
But Crystal Palace has made a lot of adjustments, Lawrence, Scannell, Ndiaye, Shears, McCarthy are not on it, some are not in good physical condition, and inform the coaching staff, Wen Sheng can only make reluctant substitutions, and some are physically unable to keep up, for example, Lawrence, played the game every other day, which is obviously not a task he can complete, he told Wen Sheng early on that he can't play.
Facing Crystal Palace, which is in good form, Peterborough is also worried, and Crystal Palace has become the dominant side of the game, which is not what Crystal Palace is good at at all.
None of the previous opponents had allowed Crystal Palace to take the initiative, and now there is finally a team that is "willingly" giving up the ball, and Crystal Palace's disadvantages are fully visible.
