Wen Sheng felt that the combination of Lawrence and McCarthy last season was more of a taste for himself, the older Lawrence got older, the more he was responsible for the grabs, but McCarthy instead took on the side to fill in, and they conceded very few goals last season.

Of course, it may be that the tacit understanding between them is very good, and it makes up for their lack of personal ability, but anyway, Wen Sheng misses McCarthy very much, at least McCarthy can try to partner with a few newcomers.

In addition to the problem of the central defender, Wen Sheng can only let the team pay tuition, and about the control of the game, this is also a little worry about Wen Sheng.

To be precise, Wen Sheng is not satisfied with the team's rhythm control, the first half against Liverpool was not bad, but the second half collapsed with the decline in physical fitness, Wen Sheng felt that if the rhythm was well controlled in the second half, it would not be so passive.

The same is true against Napoli, no matter what kind of tactics you play, you need to control the tempo, even if it is a deep counter-attack, you have to know when to be fast and when to be slow.

Back in Croydon, the team had to travel away to Birmingham City at the weekend.

"We have so little time to rest! Playing again in less than 48 hours, our players are people, not machines! Despite knowing that it would not help the situation, Wen Sheng complained in the pre-match press conference.

Birmingham City is a Chinese-owned club owned by a Hong Konger, and the first Chinese-owned club to emerge in the Premier League, and they finished ninth in the Premier League last season, but they have not fared much in the new season, with only one win in the league and one step away from the relegation zone.

Of course, if you want to say how much you are not optimistic, it is not necessarily, the Premier League has at least started this season and the situation has been relatively chaotic, and it is not only Crystal Palace that has disturbed the situation, such as Aston Villa and several other teams are also not good at stubble, resulting in the current situation in the standings is not clear, and the strong teams have not been able to form a solid first group.

On the 24th, Wen Sheng had to face Ferguson's protégé, Birmingham's head coach Scotsman Alexander. McLeish.

Speaking of McLeish's relationship with Ferguson, it has a much longer history than Allardyce, and it is also much more related than Bruce, Keane and so on.

Back in Ferguson's time at Aberdeen, McLeish was a player under Ferguson's account, and the two men worked together for many years and had a close relationship.

Therefore, it is true that some coaches say that there is a Ferguson system in the Premier League, and Lord Ferguson will spare no effort on his own "teachings".

In the 08-09 season, Birmingham City challenged Arsenal away, McLeish's Birmingham managed to take a point at the Emirates Stadium, and after the game he thanked his teacher, admitting that Birmingham might not have been able to take away points at Arsenal without Alex Ferguson's support.

If you change to another team, it is definitely not appropriate for Ferguson to "guide", and people may not be willing to listen to his guidance, but his disciples are different, right?!

You can't say it's unfair, Ferguson didn't violate the rules, but he can give his disciples tricks behind his back, this kind of trick is very common in Ferguson's circle, and everyone can only cry out in vain.

Some clubs are very keen to find Ferguson's disciples to be the head coach, such as Sunderland, anyway, there can be benefits, privately Ferguson's disciples can go to Ferguson to support, on the surface, the team can loan players from Manchester United without spending a dime, why not.

Of course, McLeish is a real material, he is Scottish, the most coaching place in the British Isles is Scotland, Busby and Shankly, the two coaches who led Manchester United and Liverpool to establish a dynasty are Scottish, on the other hand, there are not many English coaches who have good coaches, and the one who can get his hands is about Clough, and the other honors are comparable to the Scottish coach.

Of course, the reason why Scotland produces good coaches has a lot to do with the difference in the ideology of early Scottish and English football, with Scotland focusing on teams and England focusing on individuals.

Motes and McLeish, who are now active in Premier League football, are good coaches of the Scottish Mesozoic, and their results are indeed much better than those of the English Mesozoic.

After the game, there has been a unique hype in the media about the dispute between Wensheng and McLeish, which represents the dispute between England's Mesozoic coach and Scotland's Mesozoic coach.

In this view, the battle between Guy Crystal Palace and Birmingham is far from being a heavyweight, it is a forced brush presence by the media!

The result of the match was 1:1 with the two sides drawing at St Andrews.

McLeish and Wensheng don't want to shake hands and make peace, but there is no way, Birmingham here is not able to eat, they have made a lot of moves in the summer, introducing Serbian high school striker Zikic, and also introducing Arsenal veteran Hleb, but unfortunately their injuries have been more serious recently.

Crystal Palace's hardest hit area is the centre-back, while Birmingham's hardest hit area is the striker, and they have only scored seven goals in eight league games.

In this round of the game, their high school forward Zhikic returned, but he was completely out of shape, and he had no problem against him, after all, he was there, but under the interference of Benatia and Van Dijk, his ability to make the ball was not used at all, and he didn't get many shots on goal.

It was Jamie Vardy who equalised for Crystal Palace, and with the Europa League included, the lad has scored four goals in three games and is in clear form.

Birmingham's recent poor form has been seen by Wen Sheng, who originally hoped to "take advantage of your illness", but the team could only get a draw.

"We should have been more rhythmic in the game! Again, we were able to control it very well, and sometimes we did it really badly! Wen Sheng told reporters after the game.

"Sometimes we need to slow down the pace and speed of the game a little bit, we need to control the ball and not just give it away!"

Wensheng's words after the game made Lawrence and Hawking disagree, controlling the ball and controlling the ball is not an easy thing in the Premier League, especially two teams of equal strength.

First, if the gap between everyone's strength is not very large, then no one will easily give up the midfield on the field, the midfield must be a focal point, the Premier League has always been fiercely contested, and it is not easy to control the ball.

If you don't give up the ball, your own player strength is insufficient, passing, receiving, and handling the ball The weakness in the process will be gradually superimposed and amplified, and the feedback will be in the end, the unlucky one is himself, so many weak teams dare not play so much, and honestly play counterattack.

Just like Birmingham City and Crystal Palace, the strength of everyone is relatively close, the more the ball is at the foot to create more shots, so everyone will not give up the ball easily, of course, everyone is the kind of team that has a more direct attack, there are not too many twists and turns, and the ball switch is more frequent.

The second is to say that the team does not have the right players, it is not easy to control, De Bruyne's positioning of the attacking organization, just to organize the attack, he is not the controller of the rhythm of the field.

Putting him in the middle may be able to do the job, but that's a shame, the best thing about De Bruyne is his attacking talent!

Lawrence thinks it doesn't hurt either.

He knows what Wen Sheng wants, it is nothing more than absolute control on the field, when to control the ball, when to defend, and when to attack are all up to him, but is this what you Crystal Palace can do at the moment?!

Maybe Chelsea can, Manchester United can, Arsenal can, but Crystal Palace certainly can't.

If you can't control it, you can't control it, in fact, build two ends, offensive and defensive, even if the rhythm is not under your control, at least you can effectively defend and attack effectively.
