74. After the end of the unbeaten streak

Without waiting for the reporters to ask questions, Wen Sheng continued: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with us facing Chelsea in the semi-finals! I want to ask you a question, is it more uncomfortable to lose in the semi-finals or is it more uncomfortable to lose in the final?! ”

After listening to Wen Sheng's explanation, the reporters burst into laughter.

'No, no, no, guys, I'm not looking for a reason to make a good signing against Chelsea! What I'm saying is the truth, and each of you knows what to choose! Wen Sheng smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

'Based on that, I don't think it's a bad thing to draw Chelsea, and I should be worried about the other teams because they didn't get the Chelsea draw in the semi-finals!

Wen Sheng's "ridicule" once again caused everyone's laughter.

Seeing Wen Sheng's ease of handling at the press conference, Cheryl, an intern reporter in the crowd, couldn't help but wink at her lover on stage, but Wen Sheng glanced at it and ignored it directly.

On the afternoon of 10 March, Crystal Palace played a make-up match against Sheffield United, and although Wensheng tried to send some signals to the team through the media, the players did not seem to appreciate the good intentions.

0:1, Wensheng's team reaped his first defeat since taking office.

To be honest, Wen Sheng felt terrible, he had gone crazy in the final stage of this game, and sent four strikers directly on the field, trying to save the defeat, but it didn't work out after all, and the team's morale was inevitably a little low, and no one wanted to lose.

"We're terrible!" Speroni made no secret of his disappointment in his post-match interview.

No matter how bad the mood is, Wen Sheng has to be in Jordan. Miles forced a smile in front of him, "I don't think this game is a pity!" Sooner or later, being beaten by other teams is going to happen, and it's no surprise that it's happening now! ”

'They defended well, we didn't create enough chances!'

"I think this game should make us completely relaxed!"

Wen Sheng didn't want to make matters worse and blame the players for their state problems, everyone was under enough pressure.

"Daniel, do you think it's your physical fitness that is dragging you down?!" Miles asked.

"I'll admit that we have too many games and a lot of physical drain, but I think we can overcome it! I'm sure the state issues are temporary, well, we'll definitely be able to rejuvenate! ”

……

Inside the dressing room, the Crystal Palace players were dejected.

"Hey guys!"

Derry stood in the center and clapped his hands, motioning for everyone's attention.

Everyone looked up at Derry, and Zaha was still carrying a sneaker that he had taken off.

"I know everybody's frustrated, everybody's in a terrible mood!"

"But I'd love to know if you have forgotten our goal, the day you were at the Beckenham training base?!"

Which day?! Of course, it is the day when everyone makes a promise to upgrade.

Who can forget?!

"I know you haven't forgotten!" Derry nodded and looked around, "But now look at what you guys look like?!" ”

"You don't want to be heroes, you're cowards because of a little bit of pressure, you're trying to get by, you're fucking trying to live up to the fans!" Some players involuntarily lowered their heads, and guilt arose.

"Do you know what Daniel thinks of you now?!"

Everyone stared intently at Delhi.

"He said you were like a bunch of old ghosts who were about to retire! We don't see vigor in our team, which has an average age of less than 24, and we can't see perseverance! He really wants you to persevere, and he told me that only the team that resists the pressure and perseveres to the end is the real hero! ”

"Now, you're not going to tell me you can't fucking do it, can you?!"

Derry snapped.

"I'm not a coward!" Vardy stood up, looked around, and replied faintly.

"Me neither!"

"I'm not fucking either!"

……

One by one, the players stood up and looked at the captain with firm eyes.

"I knew you guys were fucking kind!" Derry nodded, "I knew none of us could be willing!" ”

"There aren't many games left for us! To achieve our goals, we need to keep our spirits up on the pitch! We need to win! ”

"We always have to keep the mentality of a brave man, understand?!"

"We're never going to slack off, understand?!"

"Understood!" Everyone yelled in unison.

"Tuk Tuk!" No sooner had the players responded to Captain Derry than there was a knock on the door.

Immediately after, Wen Sheng opened the door rather comically, showed his head out, and asked with a smile: "Guys, can I come in?!" ”

After everyone was stunned, they couldn't help but laugh.

Wen Sheng walked in naturally, still smiling and saying, "I'm sorry, I overheard a lot!" ”

"I'm sorry, this was your secret! But I can't stand my ears, which are particularly sensitive! Wen Sheng made a helpless gesture that made everyone laugh and relaxed.

"I can attest to what Delhi said is true, and I did tell him that I am a little disappointed and that I don't see vitality in you now! Oh, God! Come on! With all the members of our coaching staff, our average age is still no more than 24! ”

"Being young means a lot! Being young can work wonders! But lately I do feel that you are afraid, and I don't like this! I think we should look young when we are young, that is, we should create miracles while we are young, and we should wait until you are all the same age as Matt's old guy to create them?! ”

"Fart! Although Lao Tzu is old, Lao Tzu still has the confidence to create miracles! In the midst of everyone's laughter, Matt pretended to be dissatisfied and retorted angrily.

"Cut?!" Wen Sheng glanced at the dissatisfied Lawrence with disdain.

After getting along for so long, everyone is familiar with the trick of singing double reeds.

"You don't believe it?! How could I not be?! Staying with these little guys, I feel like I'm ten years younger! Fuck, they said we couldn't do it, and I think we could do it with a couple of our old guys with these little guys! Isn't that right?! ”

Lawrence shook his head and asked.

"Yes!" Everyone replied with a smile.

"Okay, okay! Sorry, Matt! Guys all help you, I apologize to you! You are right, you can create everything! Wen Sheng apologized with a bitter face.

After everyone laughed for a while, Wen Sheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay! All right! Guys! That's the end of the fun time! ”

Everyone slowly paused and laughed, waiting for Wen Sheng to speak.

"Now, I'll be serious!"

"About today's game, we lost this game! Before the game everyone thought we were going to win Sheffield United, but we couldn't do it, we lost! ”

Speaking of this topic, some players involuntarily lowered their heads and felt a little guilty.

"Please, you guys keep your heads up!" Wen Sheng pretended to plead.

"Actually, I'd say it's not a big deal! You should know the Arsenal team led by Mr. Arsene Wenger?! They were unbeaten for a long time, but one day they lost to Manchester United! ”

"No team can go on unbeaten forever, which is obviously not in line with the laws of nature! It's not scientific! ”

Wen Sheng spread his hands and said, that really made everyone want to laugh a little, but fortunately everyone held back.

"So our undefeated streak was ended, what kind of is this?! You don't have to worry about it, at least from today onwards we don't have to think about "how long can we keep the record" in the next races! ”

"Please rest assured, my personal record is not important, I don't care about it!"

"I'm more concerned about the result of the season than being unbeaten! I'm sorry I overheard the secret that you have a goal that wants to get into the play-offs and get promoted, right? ”

"Well then, I fully support this goal! Although we still can't say that the relegation is completely successful, in fact, we are not far from Cardiff in sixth! ”

'At the moment, we still have more than 10 games to play and we hope it's still big! So losing this game doesn't necessarily affect our ability to catch up with the play-off bunch! ”

"Of course, if we have to work harder!"
