403. Tottenham 2
The main reason for using Klose is tactical reasons, one is that the focus of this game against Tottenham is to play positional warfare, Wen Sheng thinks that Klose may be easier to use than Vardy, and the other is to achieve a surprise effect, Vardy was originally the top scorer of Crystal Palace, and he was in good shape, and Lao Lei probably didn't expect that Wen Sheng would change this employment in this game.
Today's main whistle is Mike. Jones, Jones began to enforce the Premier League in 08, his reputation is not very big, and the level of law enforcement is still okay.
Generally speaking, Wen Sheng is the least critical head coach for referees, and he did have angry behavior because of referees, but generally speaking, he has shown that he respects referees and supports referees on many occasions.
In fact, many referees have a good relationship with Wen Sheng, and everyone has a good sense of him.
Back in the dugout, Wensheng called Vardy to his side again, and Lawrence gave Vardy a place.
After Vardy sat down, Wen Sheng said to Vardy: "You have to warm up early later to keep your body hot!" This game is destined to be a war of attrition, and the second half may depend on you! ”
Vardy nodded affirmatively.
That's all he said, but Wen Sheng once again showed his attitude to Vardy, brother still attaches importance to it, brother still needs you, but everything is a tactical need.
Vardy is actually not as sensitive as Wen Sheng thinks, he is only a little unhappy at most when he doesn't start, but he also fully understands Wen Sheng's situation, Klose has not played too many games this season, but the efficiency is okay, and Wen Sheng is sometimes quite difficult.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was given the opportunity to win the FA Cup last weekend, and Victorie decided that Klose would start this game, and Vardy felt that it was not impossible.
White Hart Lane stadium boos, this is their regular program, it will always create a little pressure on the visiting team.
In fact, Crystal Palace is not too annoying in the London area, except for the rival team, fans of other teams have a good sense of Crystal Palace, because Crystal Palace has never been a nouveau riche, they did not spend a lot of money to buy people, but they won the FA Cup and Europa League in two years, which is really admirable.
Let's say that the fans of Chelsea and Arsenal, of course, are not friendly to Crystal Palace on the field, but there are many people who praise Crystal Palace off the field, and even many fans imagine how good it would be if Wensheng could come to their own team.
In the past, the media with good things in the past have done street surveys in the most difficult moments of Boas and Wenger, asking fans of both teams who they think is the most suitable manager to succeed Boas (Wenger), and Wensheng has unsurprisingly become the first choice of fans of both teams.
If they really regarded Crystal Palace as a mortal enemy, then they couldn't put Wen Sheng first.
Just like Tottenham fans will never see Arsene Wenger, Manchester City fans will never treat Alex Ferguson.
Gossip aside, as soon as the pre-match ceremony ended, the two sides quickly got to work on the court.
Tottenham, coached by Lao Lei, pays attention to the freedom of the frontcourt players in attack, like the free play space of several people in the frontcourt, and the team's offensive sense of hierarchy is also better.
Lao Lei can't get rid of some of the patterns of the English head coach, for example, he also attaches great importance to the attackers on the wing, and the bottom cut inside is the usual routine.
Unlike Villas-Boas or Roberto Mancini, they experimented with tactics and played as a wide midfielder on the wing.
Tottenham's biggest characteristic is that they are fast, but they have a core, and this core is Modric, and Modric's ball-sharing organization in the midfield is what Tottenham's attack relies on.
Many fans look down on Lao Lei, but who said that Lao Lei doesn't do good things?! Real Madrid's two future superstars are actually made by Lao Lei, Modric has been identified as the core of the midfield organization this season, he looks thin and he is the midfield engine of Tottenham, his physical confrontation ability is much stronger than when he first arrived at Tottenham, and he can organize and advance.
But with such a core figure, Wen Sheng did not take personal defensive measures against him.
Because Crystal Palace will dominate the ball on the pitch this time, Wen Sheng's plan is to slow down and fast, can't you Tottenham Hotspur wings run?! Isn't it fast and impactful?! Isn't Modric good at organizing?!
Then I'll try to make you take the ball as little as possible.
Let others hold the ball less, and you will naturally hold the ball more.
Bale and Lennon can run, so use positional battles to push them back and get them back to Tottenham's half-field defence.
For the control of his own midfield, Wen Sheng is confident, and it is more than enough to deal with the midfielder of Tottenham.
Tottenham's midfield triangle is Modric, Van der Vaart and Parker, Modric is a little more balanced in attack and defense, Parker is more balanced, but they are not pure defensive midfielders, Van der Vaart is completely an offensive player, defensive awareness and ability are relatively poor.
A triangular configuration like Lao Lei is almost rare in modern football, because the lack of hardness and interception in the midfield will inevitably make it difficult for a team to suffer when encountering a controlling team.
Because of this, their defense is not too solid, and the goals conceded are not many, but not many.
After the start of the game, it was not expected by Wen Sheng at all, Tottenham Hotspur was still thinking about competing with Crystal Palace for the ball at first, and the grabbing was very positive, but after Stroman played two long through passes in a row to find Klose, the Tottenham players began to understand that if this continues, the opponent's long pass will create trouble for their hinterland.
Lao Lei immediately made a decision to let the team give up the high pressing, to be honest, Lao Lei's high pressing strategy is to make an appearance, Van der Vaart and his old enemy Ibrahimovic are not suitable for such tactics at all, high pressing can not be successful, but let Tottenham themselves everywhere loopholes, by Crystal Palace easily resolve the tactics, the gains outweigh the losses.
After Tottenham's tactical adjustments, Crystal Palace began to fully dominate the advantage, often passing the ball for a long time without conceding the ball, once the ball was lost, the back position was pressed on the back side to quickly counter-attack, Stroman and Kante were well rested during this time, showing good form, Tottenham Hotspur was very difficult to get the ball, so they had to go to Adebayor, nine times out of ten passes were unsuccessful.
Wen Sheng hated unnecessary possession of the ball the most, but he had to sacrifice Barcelona's tactics against Tottenham today.
Lao Lei obviously said, he has been proud of the spring breeze recently, fantasizing that the team can avenge the loss in the first half of the game at home, and fantasizing that he can break his wrist with Crystal Palace, who knows that this is the case?!
Tottenham were worse than Arsenal, with very low possession.
Wen Sheng touched his chin tightly, Tottenham looked miserable, in fact, they were much better than Arsenal in that battle of the chiefs, that game Crystal Palace attack rhythm was fast, rushing Arsenal on the side is very embarrassed, this game Crystal Palace is seeking absolute control, not to let Tottenham wings fly.
Fifteen minutes passed, Palace had the ball firmly in their hands, but few shots on goal and Klose looked mediocre.
As for Tottenham, it was only with a shot on goal that Van der Vaart fired from 40 yards out in the 12th minute, but the ball was not threatening and went wide of the post.
Wen Sheng was very calm and relieved.
Bell has nothing to spare, and there is no room to play at all.
Because he rarely had the ball, his frequent involvement in defending kept him away from the Palace half.
Lao Lei is not Wen Sheng, Wen Sheng often engages in the tactics of wingers in front and center forwards behind, but Lao Lei will definitely not do this, because Tottenham's midfield defense is not optimistic, and the lateral movement ability is insufficient.
Just after 15 minutes, Crystal Palace suddenly made a force and De Bruyne began to eat hard.
Tottenham were a little flustered, and in the 18th minute, after De Bruyne and Mkhitaryan combined together, he cut inside and fired a left-footed shot from distance, and the ball made a wonderful arc into the bottom right corner of Friedel's goal.
Away Crystal Palace leads 1-0.
It was Modric who defended De Bruyne, and Modric's defensive attitude did not need to be said, that is, his defensive ability and physical fitness were lacking.
How did De Bruyne get rid of him?!
While playing the ball, he used his hand to speed up and rushed to the side, but Modric used his hand but was brought down by De Bruyne, and as soon as his hand was released, De Bruyne slipped past, and then calmly got the opportunity to shoot.
