28. Determine tactics
Everyone laughed, but after laughing, Wen Sheng said with a sad face: "Everyone, it's still early in February, there are still six leagues in the middle, we can't rely on them at all, the test is still ahead!" ”
After Wen Sheng finished speaking, everyone suddenly seemed to wake up again, yes, there are still six rounds of leagues in between! ~
Palace are currently fourth from bottom with a 10-point deduction and look a few points away from the relegation zone, but it's hard to say how that advantage will be after six rounds.
"Daniel, the most important thing right now is that we have to screw everyone's hearts together!" Derry got to the point, "Now the team is in hostility, people are uneasy, and people want to leave! ”
Lawrence sighed that Carlton had put some players on the purge list as the club's initiative, but many of the team's players themselves did not necessarily want to stay.
Anyway, now that the ship of the Crystal Palace has broken a hole, it is very likely to be destroyed, who wants to stay on this broken ship?!
Except for Lawrence, Derry and a few others who still have a glimmer of hope for the Crystal Palace who are willing to stay, who wants to stay?!
Experienced players want to run, young players also want to run, and many transfer applications are submitted.
It's just that Carlton can't let some players leave for free, the club hasn't reached the moment of disbandment, and it hasn't gone bankrupt yet, so there's no way to leave for free!
Wen Sheng naturally knew about this situation.
"I'll talk to everybody, and they should know very well anyway that free walks are just for a few people! We'll always find a common goal! ”
After thinking about the general situation, Wen Sheng began to discuss the team's tactics with everyone.
Earlier, when Warnock was there, he paid attention to the balance of tactics, slightly biased towards defense, and the positional warfare offense was actually a lot of play, but now that the times have changed, Carlton has written a long list of players who cannot be arranged to play, and then followed Warnock's tactics to obviously find death.
Wen Sheng chose to defend and counterattack without suspense, although this is forced by the situation, but in fact, this has something to do with his conservative thinking, Wen Sheng can't let himself mess up, a draw is more acceptable than a loss, and it is natural to focus on defense.
"In the current situation, Ettel, McCarthy and Hill are all included in the transfer list at the back, the defense is very difficult, if we want to be relegated, the first thing we need to do is to stabilize our defense, especially before the end of the winter transfer window, we can't concede too many goals, even if they don't succeed at the end of the transfer period, and they can play again, I'm afraid the defensive confidence of the whole team has been lost!"
Wen Sheng analyzed the remaining defensive players one by one, and there were Lawrence, Klein, Hills, Davis, etc., the older ones were very old, and the younger ones were too young, and the abilities like Davis were relatively mediocre and embarrassing.
The work of reshaping the defense line is very arduous, a good coach should learn to rotate, but Wen Sheng is not even qualified to mention rotation, no one can, he can only take the lead in determining the main lineup and practice well.
With a serious expression and a few treasures, Wen Sheng can say the advantages and disadvantages of each member of the team, Lawrence and Derry are not surprised, but Joey and Hawking are secretly admired, it is hard to believe that Wen Sheng has only been in this team for less than half a year and has done a good job of knowing the players.
"What do you think?! Is there a better suggestion?! Wen Sheng finished talking about the main arrangement of the defense and asked a few people.
Lawrence and Davis partnered in central defence, with Klein on the right and Lee on the left. Sears.
This is Wen Sheng's temporary plan, the center-back combination of Lawrence is more experienced, Wensheng is indeed forced to use him, Davis is even more forced, the center-back combination has a congenital weakness, the turning speed is too slow, Lawrence is old, physical function is declining, Davis is tall, 191, the center of gravity is too high.
This pair of center-back combinations is already worrying, not to mention the two full-backs, Klein is good to say, after all, Wen Sheng knows that this young man will be dominant in the Premier League in the future, and he has a few brushes, but he has not grown up yet, and he is mostly a rotational substitute under Warnock.
As for Sears, who is nearly 20 years old, his ability is mediocre and he has fewer opportunities to play, how can it be reassuring.
But there is no way to do anything, or Wensheng will transfer players from the youth team, it will be even more reassuring, Crystal Palace reserves and youth teams do not have that kind of reassuring players.
"Arrange it however you say!" Lawrence shouted, "You're the head coach, you're in charge!" ”
"Haha, then I thank you for your trust!" Wen Sheng smiled heartily, "But as a member of the team, you should give me advice, don't blindly trust, I also need advice!" There is a saying in China: Three stinkers are worth Zhuge Liang! ”
Joey and Hawking couldn't make any suggestions at all, and Derry, after thinking about it, couldn't say why, one was that he had just taken on a part-time coaching role, and he really had no clue, and the other was that there was really no one available after thinking about it, even if Wen Sheng's arrangement felt unreliable, but it could only make do.
After discussing the defense and discussing the midfield, the midfield has a little more leeway, Derry, Ndiaye, Kante can form a triangle, Warnock used 442 in the first half, but Wensheng will now change the formation to 433.
There is also a sense of helplessness in this, Crystal Palace has piled up more than 10 attacking players in the front, which is also the focus of Carlton's purge, and there are fewer attacking players on the wing, so they have to reduce one position and change to the middle.
Kante is trustworthy, but he is too low-key, so low-key that Carlton thinks that this thin boy can't buy any money, and the salary is not high anyway, so he can stay, saying that Kante is really on the list, and Wen Sheng is determined to make him revoke.
What kind of international joke, the players I recruited myself, I sold them without using them once, and I didn't agree to kill them.
Ndiaye is also French, and now he is getting closer to Kante, but he doesn't have much chance, and his attitude has always been more positive, and he is only 19 years old, so there is room for improvement.
Wensheng promised Carlton to add value to the players, talking about young people like Ndiaye, N'Golo Kante, Klein and Jamie Vardy.
Up front, Wen Sheng chose Vardy, Sean. Scannell and Fred. Sears.
These three young people, Scannell is very fast, but his feet are too rough, passing is a weakness, Shears is on loan from West Ham United, and he is also known as a talented new star, not only has speed, but also has a good kick at the goal, but his skills are poor and his creativity is insufficient.
As for Vardy, the great god of the future.
Of course, when it comes to Vardy now, Wen Sheng's stomach is full of fire, and he will suspect from time to time that he has bought a fake Vardy.
In the first half, whether it was from the perspective of the game or training, Vardy's integration into the team was too slow, Warnock never looked at Vardy, at least now Wensheng thinks it makes sense.
His running, passing and receiving ability, and awareness all need to be improved, simply put, the understanding of football needs to be improved to a higher level, but this guy has not been enlightened for a long time, Wen Sheng originally coached more children, and now he has a feeling of coaching children for Vardy, but the effect still does not appear, maybe Vardy really needs to open his mind.
"There's still someone available up front and we can go with Allen. Plum! Derry disagreed, Vardy didn't score very efficiently, it felt messy, so Derry felt that it was better to use Irish striker Allen. Plum.
This suggestion is understandable, many teams in the Championship are accustomed to using a high striker in the front line, this is a battering ram, long passing and hanging is a British football tradition, and strikers with excellent headers are popular.
"No, no, no, he lacks speed! And as a fulcrum, his passing ability is terrible! "Wen Sheng exposes Alan. Lee's disadvantage is not that a slow high school striker can't fight back, but a slow high school forward with poor ball ability is difficult to play a high-quality counterattack.
Wen Sheng's tactical concept is to attack alone. Li is a vegetable eater, how can he do it!
Jamie Wardie's strength is his speed and defensive attitude, which is a huge benefit for the team up front.
Wen Sheng has also realized recently that part of the reason why Vardy has been unable to integrate into the team is also due to tactics, he is not very suitable for positional warfare at this stage, but counter-attacking may be very suitable for him.
