Wen Sheng inadvertently looked at the watch on his wrist, ten minutes had passed, neither of the two rookies had a shot, the game was monotonous and boring, according to the pre-determined tactical change time, Crystal Palace had gone through the opening adaptation period at this time, and there should be a wave of high pressure.

When it came to the end, Wen Sheng was a little hesitant, Portsmouth played too carefully, and always refused to move, and the defenders were not active in pressing, Wen Sheng suspected that Grant had judged that he would change his moves.

Hawking came to his side and reminded Wen Sheng that the time was almost up.

"Do you think you can try it?!" Wen Sheng couldn't help but hesitate to ask Hawking.

"They're too timid, I think it's okay to try, and besides, their backline isn't too good in the first place!" Hawking's feeling comes from Portsmouth's performance in the Premier League, Portsmouth have conceded a lot of goals, almost every game, and after the announcement of trusteeship, Grant's team has lost a lot of league games and a lot of goals at the back.

Wen Sheng shook his head, disagreeing with Hawking's interpretation, he had already said that Portsmouth must be divided into two, and Grant must steal points in the league, so it is inevitable that the focus on attack and defense is attacking, and in the FA Cup, Portsmouth is not like this, they have kept three clean sheets against their opponents, which shows that they are obviously more cautious in the FA Cup.

But he still decided to change his tactics, since he had already decided to change the pace, then don't hesitate, do what he wants, Grant expected that no matter what, he may not be able to succeed.

Gesturing with their hands, the Crystal Palace players began to slowly settle in formation.

The situation on the field began to change dramatically, and Crystal Palace grabbed fiercely, especially in the front court, with Zaha, Vardy, and Scannell running tirelessly and wildly, and Kante and Ndiaye all rushing to block their opponents.

Grant realised that Palace were changing tactics and he vigorously called his players back to defending.

Grant had actually thought about such a situation, but as Hawking said, even if he did, what could he do, Crystal Palace was in full swing, and Portsmouth had to bear the wave head-on.

Portsmouth's backline has done some preparation, but they are really not used to the crazy running of opponents, and Palace's three forwards are all the kind of players who are very fast, which means they move fast, and James frequently kicks forward, either up front or towards the touchline.

Crystal Palace was very popular for a while.

In the 12th minute, Jamie Gundy had a great chance when Zaha broke through Finnan's cross from the flank, and Vardy nodded the ball in front of the goal, hit the post and bounced off Mokona's legs, almost allowing him to score an own goal.

Just a minute passed, and it was Mokona's cross mistake again, which was cut off by Scannell and crossed directly, but unfortunately this guy's pass stinks, and he returned it to James.

Wen Sheng raised his hand to applaud the team, and Scannell's pass was really bad, but at this time he didn't need his criticism but encouragement.

When Scannell, who was secretly remorseful, walked back and saw Wen Sheng applauding himself, his heart was also a lot more relaxed.

"Forward, persecution!" Wen Sheng gestured, and Scannell remembered what he was going back to, he should force his opponent.

Crystal Palace, which tasted the sweetness, pressed again, and Portsmouth was really in a hurry, and the fans of Portsmouth were terrified.

Crystal Palace fans cheered and sighed at each other, and in the space of ten minutes, Palace had four shots on goal, but they were always a little bit of luck away from scoring.

As the formation continued to press, the managers of both sides were anxious and nervous, and Wen Sheng became more and more bold, instructing the team to continue to press, as if he saw the dawn of the goal.

And Grant is desperately directing the players to stand, in fact, at this time, only the players themselves know how big this kind of command is, they are still making mistakes again and again, compared to the adjustment of the defensive system, I have to say that Wen Sheng has kung fu, and Crystal Palace is better as a whole.

But in the 23rd minute, Crystal Palace, which had pressed too much, finally almost tasted the consequences, Zaha connected the opponent two in the front, but after the two passed, Zaha's ball was lost, and it was cut off by the tall Diop, Diop was forced by Kante to pass the ball to Boateng, Boateng made a long pass to the left side of Crystal Palace, McCarthy was average, and Dindane ran to the football at the same time, competing for the ball.

Lawrence was slow down the middle and was soon left behind by Portsmouth striker Picquioni, who was trying to outflank him.

Tindane stabbed the ball first, but McCarthy was half a beat slower, and in a hurry, he could only let go of the tackle, but the destruction failed, giving Tindane the opportunity to gallop all the way.

Tindane made a decision that he didn't know if it should be called wrong, and went to the left and hesitated to pick up a lob in the face of the onrushing Speroni.

It was a creative choice, and Speroni was just reaching out in vain to block it.

But just as the ball crossed Speroni and was about to enter the gate, a white figure saved the fate of Crystal Palace!

Sears!

Shears saved the ball from the goal line with an elegant barb!

Wen Sheng had been nervously watching the confrontation between McCarthy and Tindane, his eyes were all focused there, and when Tindane chose to hang the door from the left side, Wen Sheng was almost finished, and only then did he see Shears come out of nowhere to save the door.

Where is the Hills?!

When Boateng made the fatal pass, Shears was actually near the left halfway line, thanks to McCarthy's interference with Dindane, and thanks to Dindane's hesitation, Shills ran for his life, past Lawrence and past Picioni, and completed a thrilling save on the goal line.

And this kid saved the danger, immediately ran up from the ground and turned quickly, he was worried that his aimless clearance let the ball fall to the opponent's feet, fortunately, the ball was cleared into the control of Lawrence, who was chasing.

Lawrence is on his back, his mind is clear, and for the sake of stability, he directly kicks the ball out of the sideline.

"Well done! Child! Speroni gave Hills a high-five.

Sears was out of breath, with a kind of excitement for the rest of his life, and after high-fiveing Speroni, he couldn't help but look at Wen Sheng on the sidelines.

Wen Sheng gave a thumbs up and praised Hills in this way in front of an audience of 90,000.

Crystal Palace fans burst into applause as Shears saved the Palace!

Shears only felt like a real hero at this time, he was never the most favored player, but he kept working hard until one day Wen Sheng took over, he was reused, Wen Sheng taught him a lot like the coach of the academy Isolt, kept a lot of patience with him, and looked forward to him.

When the team joked that he was Wen Sheng's long-lost brother, he was actually proud, who didn't want to be appreciated by the coach?!

But after the triumph, Shears was calm, turned this trust into motivation, he worked harder than ever, thrived day by day, and today he finally became a hero, saving the team and saving Wensheng.

Grant secretly cursed "Fake" in his heart, and then also stretched out his hand to applaud vigorously, but it was not Shears who he encouraged, but his own players, as he interpreted, Crystal Palace will never make mistakes, otherwise how could they lose?!

Tindane's choice really shouldn't be blamed, and the players on the Portsmouth side really didn't blame him, but they were a little uncomfortable in their hearts, and the opportunity was rare!

Portsmouth's touchline ball, Crystal Palace defending.

Wen Sheng's eyes were fixed on Boateng, who had just passed the ball.

This Boateng's full name is Kevin. Prince. Boateng, who also has a younger brother, Jerome. Boateng, these two Wensheng are too familiar.

Brother Jerome. Boateng went on to become a world-class centre-back, and the current Boateng is also a really good figure, mixing well in Milan.

Didn't play this game before Kevin. Boateng has been included in Wensheng's summer shopping list, and in the past, he had the impression that his uncle Allegri used Boateng as a defensive striker, and the results were outstanding, and Wensheng wanted to do the same.

In my memory, Boateng's excellence is not a long pass, but a good long pass just now, which makes Wen Sheng feel a little interesting.
