70. Readjust tactics
"Oh yes!" Elizabeth and Cheryl cheered as the home fans cheered.
"Didn't you just hope that Daniel wouldn't be able to win this game?!" Cheryl, who came back to her senses, teased Elizabeth that someone always has to be ingenious and never wants to side with Wen Sheng.
"Alas, in the end reason triumphed over emotion! I'm cheering for the team I support, what's the matter with Danny?! "Elizabeth is dead.
Cheryl was really speechless, the last time she asked Elizabeth to interview Wensheng, Elizabeth said that her cousin was worthless, such as "no quality in clothes, ugly looking, a stuffy gourd" and so on, please forgive me, Cheryl really thinks that Elizabeth's description does not conform to her own perception except for wearing clothes and no taste, nerd may be.
There is no quality in wearing clothes, this is true, Cheryl always saw Wen Sheng wearing sportswear, sportswear, or sportswear in the days when she was with the team.
Finally, the two of them went out on vacation, Wensheng is still in sportswear, and he is particularly afraid of the cold, he always wraps himself tightly, Cheryl thinks that Wensheng should stay in Tenerife all the time, there seems to be a team there, and it may be most appropriate for him to coach there.
Under the stands, Wen Sheng smiled and high-fived the people around him to celebrate, and his patience reaped the reward.
After all, it's hard for McDermott to guess that Crystal Palace's attack is not so monotonous.
Crystal Palace's level of ball control is completely just beginning, and the ability of the personnel themselves is also limited, such as rhythm, long pass scheduling, left and right contact, etc., there are a lot of deficiencies, but Wen Sheng can also be regarded as judging the situation, he only emphasizes the partial, and the short pass training that works weekdays still plays a huge role.
Reading played aggressively, but the players were sometimes vulnerable to defensive positioning, and Palace took advantage of the opportunity.
"Brian, Brian! See how you cope! Wen Sheng looked at McDermott on the other side, who was frowning, and couldn't help but feel proud.
"If I were him, I might as well stick to the tactics of the last game!" Hawking suddenly interjected.
Wen Sheng nodded in agreement, "He really might as well adopt the tactics of the last game, just play directly and attack our penalty area directly, so maybe we will be a lot more uncomfortable!" In the second half of the last game, he stuck to his tactics and insisted on their characteristics, and the result was very good! ”
"But then again, he's still too conservative and maybe thinks they should be more focused on their defense at our home stadium!"
Hearing Wen Sheng actually evaluate the opponent as conservative, Hawking couldn't help laughing, who doesn't know that you are the most conservative, even the good deeds among Crystal Palace fans have given Crystal Palace a resounding name "Victory Bus"!
A conceded goal didn't make McDermott impulsive, and he didn't think it was the time to fight for his life.
His concern was still Crystal Palace's counterattack.
Counter-attacking has become a hallmark on Crystal Palace, and they have always been able to deflate their opponents with counter-attacks.
The bottom line for Reading is that they can't afford to lose, and they have a chance to replay the game after a draw, when the home game is at the Madeischi Stadium, which is their home stadium.
It's still early, fight with the Crystal Palace now, what if you are cut by the Crystal Palace again?!
Not only will it hurt but it will also seriously hit the team's confidence, by then the morale has been discharged, and it will be difficult to fight again, maybe everyone is thinking about the relegation battle in the future, after all, they are now in the relegation zone, unlike Crystal Palace can relax temporarily.
Wen Sheng still kept yelling on the sidelines, directing everything in the team, some media said that he was a passionate coach, Wen Sheng felt that this name was also good, in fact, he could not guarantee that his shouts could be heard by the players on the field, but he still had to yell, because it could relieve his nervousness.
The two teams fell into a stalemate again, Reading played a very unconventional attack in the 31st minute, a through pass through the defensive line slightly tested Crystal Palace's position, but unfortunately their striker was successful in the offside position, and they were a little confused, and they actually went too big to get the ball wide, which was confiscated by the attacking Speroni, and he didn't even get the chance to shoot.
This opponent's attack was very dangerous, and Wen Sheng's head broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew before the game that the recovery of the centre-back position was a big problem, and now Reading actually almost stabbed the sky.
He was a little scared and began to convey instructions to the team, focusing on defense and moving the formation back.
But McDermott's team is really puzzling, still trying to force a fuss on the wings, playing too cautiously, and not taking advantage of the situation to strengthen the attack as Wensheng expected.
There is no doubt that starting from Mourinho, continental football has begun to influence the atmosphere of English football with Mourinho, and it is important to stick to their own style, but the managers of the Premier League and the Championship are gradually changing their inherent thinking, they are more and more aware of the "momentum" on the football field, and they will work harder to guess the opponent's ideas.
The Crystal Palace line moved back intermittently, and in McDermott's eyes, he felt that this was Wen Sheng's intention to defend and counterattack.
This kind of thinking can only be said to be right or wrong, Wen Sheng's starting point is still worried about his central defender, but it can really be regarded as adjusting tactics to defend and counterattack.
Reading will not be patient for long every time they attack, they are not good at circling around the opponent, they are not Barcelona, nor are they other confident giants, the ball goes to the front, it doesn't take many circles, they will cross, under the strict defense of Crystal Palace, their cross threat is limited, the center forward does too little pulling, and the attacking position lacks change.
Seeing Reading's style of play, Wen Sheng felt that Reading should at least make good use of the gap in Crystal Palace's ribs, so he suddenly remembered a player.
The future top midfielder, Belgian player De Bruyne, this guy passes the ribs and the ball in front of the goal is a must.
If he can continue to be the head coach of the team next season, he can consider whether he can be brought over, Vardy has speed and strong running ability, as long as he can improve his ball control ability and passing ability, he and De Bruyne can form a perfect match.
In such a tense game, Wen Sheng can actually get distracted, it can be seen that the game is not very exciting, Reading's strength is indeed too average, and he is a little helpless in the face of the iron bucket formation.
The half-time whistle put an end to Wen Sheng's speculation.
At half-time, Palace led Reading 1-0.
Both teams were not outstanding in attack but did well defensively, with Joey telling Crystal Palace had just four shots on goal in the first half, two on target, while Reading had five but none on target.
The numbers can prove something, and in the pre-match tactical analysis, Wensheng noted that Reading have averaged 16 shots per game so far this season, while they also averaged 13 shots per game in the FA Cup, and only five shots per game in the first half of this game, which Wensheng believes validates McDermott's conservatism.
"In the second half they will definitely be in a hurry at some point! We're ahead now, so there's no rush! Solid defensively, and I want your passing to be a little more direct when attacking! Will, Sean, Jamie, I hope you can rush in the second half! ”
I didn't say it explicitly, but the players could understand that it was a return to the old ways.
Fifteen minutes of half-time had passed, and the two sides were back in action.
According to the speculation of Wen Sheng and the coaching staff, Reading should have started to fight around the 70th minute, but he didn't expect McDermott to play so unconventionally, after the start of the second half, Reading began to move forward and violently began to attack the Crystal Palace position.
They also have a way to limit Crystal Palace's attack, which is nothing more than to adopt foul tactics.
"Shameless! Bastard! Wen Sheng's hand was raised in the air, signaling that the referee should give Reading midfielder Gunnarsson a card, and it was not the first time he had done so, allowing Palace to slip away from a counter-attack.
The referee did not give Gunnarsson a yellow card, which made Wen Sheng really angry, but helpless.
Crystal Palace's defence was also a bit of a struggle, and they were a little uncomfortable under Reading's sudden pressure.
The fans in the stands were also nervous along with the situation, and every foul by the Reading players drew loud boos from them.
