43. Go ahead
"Will, this position will be yours in the future!" Delhi looked around and said to Zaha, pointing to the locker room closest to the door.
"Oh!" Zaha replied absent-mindedly.
"I'll go first! Training clothes and stuff like that you look for Bob. Clark, he'll take care of it for you! Julian will be here later, and he'll take you to meet the big guys! You're training with us from today, understand?! Derry patted Zaha on the shoulder.
"Uh, Captain! Could it be that today's text... Oh, isn't the boss seeing me?! Zaha finally couldn't hold back and asked.
"Daniel?! He just told me to pick you up at the door and didn't say anything else! I don't know very well! After Derry finished speaking, he didn't care if Zaha asked or not, and walked away in style.
Zaha was a little angry in his heart, what does this mean?! Shouldn't Wen say something to me?!
Delhi returned to the office and told Wen Sheng about the situation, and Wen Sheng said with a smile: "The Chinese have a saying, jade is not a weapon!" This kid actually has potential, but his mentality is wrong, so it's better to kill his sharpness now! ”
"What if it really doesn't work?!"
"Not top?! If you can't train him, you can only go back to where he comes from! What kind of problem is that?! ”
Delhi blushed when he heard this, it is common for senior teams to recruit youth team players to play on the first line, and it does not mean that they will definitely gain a foothold in the first team after being called up, and it is normal to go back.
Going back doesn't mean you're going to hit these players, and getting called up speaks volumes about their potential.
The problems of Delhi are indeed redundant.
This is how Zaha's first-team career officially began.
At the end of the morning's practice, everyone in the team looked at Zaha with sympathy.
Because this morning's training was very sad for Zaha, first of all, as an senior team, the training intensity is definitely much greater than that of the youth team, Zaha is difficult to adapt, and he has completed some tasks very poorly, and secondly, the most important thing is that Wen Sheng scolded Zaha miserably.
"Bastard! What are you doing?! ”
", what the hell are you doing?!"
"Idiot, what the hell are you going to do?! If you can't talk, get out of here! ”
……
Zaha's head is about to be scolded, Wen Sheng is a very serious person on the training ground on weekdays, but he will never scold the players (hehe, after all, it is temporary, besides, how to come for the first time, Wen Sheng is also self-aware), irritable, but generally speaking, he is a moderate coach.
Who would have thought that Zaha would open the eyes of the big guys, it turned out that Wen Sheng was also good at scolding, and he was in a good sentence.
As the one who was scolded, Zaha's mood can be imagined, and several times he was eager to rush up and give the Wen Sheng a kick, but Zaha was still sensible.
"Holy shit, one day I'm going to beat you up!" Zaha swore viciously in his heart, "Lao Tzu will always prove you wrong!" ”
In the midst of Zaha's troubled days, on 9 January, Crystal Palace travelled to face Sheffield Wednesday in an FA Cup game.
William. Carlton doesn't care about the team's performance in the FA Cup, he only cares about whether the team can be relegated, so whether the FA Cup will give up or work hard is up to the Wensheng team.
Everyone summed it up and felt that the current FA Cup schedule is not particularly difficult for Crystal Palace, and they should work hard.
So in this game against Sheffield Wednesday, Crystal Palace also used the main force.
Carlton had promised Wen Sheng that he could use the players on the list, and Wen Sheng was not polite, and this game directly took Davies and replaced him with Irish central defender Patrick. Mccarthy.
The combination of Lawrence and Davies is a very dissatisfied center-back combination in Wensheng's heart.
McCarthy came to the team in 2008, and he should have been brought in by Warnock as a main central defender, but this guy was injured after coming to the team, and then played more than 20 games intermittently.
After Wen Sheng took over, he was forced to use him as a substitute and never started it.
McCarthy himself was also willing to leave, and he entered the list again, Wen Sheng couldn't use him too much, but now the situation is different, Wen Sheng has a little room to call the shots, Wen Sheng immediately talked to McCarthy, and planned to use him.
In fact, in terms of the strength of the players, McCarthy is much stronger than Davis, one is age, Davis is over 30 years old, and McCarthy is only 26 years old, it is the year of play, and his technical ability is stronger than Davis.
If McCarthy doesn't trust Warnock too much, then Davis will be in the cold.
If it weren't for the limited personnel, Wen Sheng wouldn't have chosen him, but after these games, this Davis is really too bad, and his partner Lawrence is also a member of the coaching staff.
The strange thing is that Davis is not on the list, but Wen Sheng doesn't feel strange at all, because Davis's salary is very low.
With the new centre-back combination, it looks good on the training pitch, with Lawrence lacking pace, but Crystal Palace's defence is relatively deep, and the main focus is on counter-attacking, which is not a particularly big problem.
Sheffield Wednesday is also a Championship team, the strength is relatively weak, and now the league has played more than 20 rounds, almost more than half, and they only have 19 points, an average of less than one point per round.
Although they were at home, they still lost against Crystal Palace, who have been in better form lately, losing not many goals or more.
The goal from Crystal Palace's side was a penalty and the scorer was Delhi.
Vardy has not scored a goal in eight games after counting the time he has played under Warnock and Wensheng, and this penalty was also created by him, and he would love to take the penalty, and Derry also hopes that Vardy can break the goal drought from the bottom of his heart, but this penalty is too important.
In the end, Derry did not concede the penalty and chose to take the penalty himself, after all, Vardy's trust in his mind is not too high, and he will still choose to trust himself if he has a choice.
The selection of the penalty taker was pre-selected and Wen Sheng was very satisfied with Delhi's penalty, and he did not want Vardy to take the penalty, he was worried that Vardy would miss it.
Crystal Palace's defense is very solid in the face of Sheffield Wednesday, even if the opponent is a weak team, Wensheng still continues the routine of defensive counterattack, and does not control the ball, the style of play seems too monotonous, wide open and close, Sheffield Wednesday's attack is weak, and Crystal Palace is naturally not too difficult to defend.
Including this game, Crystal Palace's possession rate in the four games was only 37%, 40%, 38% and 42% respectively, and no matter what, it did not exceed 50%.
Sheffield Wednesday had 58 per cent possession in this game, which looked like a control team, but they were helpless, Crystal Palace gave up possession, and they were forced to control by their opponents at home, but it did not help them much in attack.
In terms of key stats, such as shots, shots on target, including dangerous passes, Palace have the upper hand, and since Wensheng came on the pitch, they have finally finished more than 10 shots on goal, with 13 shots on goal and 5 on target.
Aside from possession, Palace's stats for this game were quite palatable, and with the team's successive victories, experts are starting to take seriously the positive side that Wensheng brings to the team.
"It's another 1:0! Why do you say it again?! Because Crystal Palace has not scored more than two goals in a single game since Wen Sheng took office! Don't look at it 1:0, but in three league games and one FA Cup match, Wensheng's team has won three and drawn one. ”
"When he took office, almost everyone thought that he would be William when he was younger. Carleton's worst option, but now look at them, they are out of danger of being a relegation zone alternate and the FA Cup is in the next round, regardless of what critics say, the positive changes that Wensheng has brought to the team are obvious! ”
BBC opinion pieces began to praise Wen Sheng.
"Wen re-enabled Patrick. With McCarthy as the starter, the change brought positive changes to the team, and the opponent didn't find any good opportunities at all. Although Wen has been stumbling since he took office, we also have to recognize the fact that they have not conceded a single goal in four games, which shows that the changes that Wen Sheng has brought to the team's defense are obvious! "Sky Sports' comments make it clear to everyone.
