A few days later, against Villa.

Villa have conceded 45 goals in the league, especially on the road, with 30 goals conceded in 13 away games, an average of just over two goals per game.

Crystal Palace sat at home, and the 0-0 draw with Villa, De Bruyne was absent, Mertens was absent, and the impact on the attack was obvious.

Two draws in a row, Crystal Palace's situation is really not good, the attack is obviously in trouble, the whole game Crystal Palace only completed 10 shots, which is rare, and many of them are long-range shots from the perimeter, it is difficult to hit Villa's penalty area.

Houllier was an old fox, and he wanted to get a point, and he got his wish.

Interestingly, when Houllier and Wensheng were drinking after the game, Houllier teased Wensheng, saying that it was unlucky to play against Ferguson, and the team only scored one point, and paid the price of being banned.

Well, Wen Sheng thought about it and felt that it made sense, yes, after the game against Manchester United, this bad luck was riddled with bad luck, which caused the team's current predicament.

'They're big clubs and it's always a loss for us small teams to play against them. Just get used to it! Wen Sheng muttered.

This is all casual talk, in fact, the league is so bad, how can there be so many losses.

"This Ferguson is my nemesis!" Wen Sheng also said the same to Cheryl in the evening.

"You don't really believe it, do you?! Honey, you know what?! I think you're the wisest man, don't believe such stupid words, okay?! ”

"Now you're just having two draws for the time being, so there's no need to carry a heavy psychological burden! It's always going to be okay! ”

Or Cheryl understands, Wen Sheng is so suspicious, in the end, there is still too much pressure.

"Daniel, you should learn to relax! Do you understand?! Take it easy! The season is too long, there are always a lot of unexpected things and unexpected moments, you can't control it, you have to learn to accept it! For example, against Manchester United, you didn't expect it, I think you were doing really well, but Wharton's decision cost you and it's not something you can control! ”

The media has been chattering, Wen Sheng is not angry, the loss of that game is too great.

The atmosphere of the team is not bad, everyone on the training ground is also talking and laughing, joking with each other, Wensheng hid his worries and carefully guided the team to prepare for the Europa League.

The Europa League is coming up in midweek, and this game has to go all out, no matter how far we can get to this point, the team's tactics are basically formed, of course, we have to focus on attack, but we also have to consider the actual situation and look at the personnel situation.

At the end of training on 15 February, De Bruyne approached Wensheng.

"Boss, I want to go to Prague!"

Wen Sheng was stunned and took the initiative to ask for battle?!

"My injury is healed and I feel like I can play!"

"Come, sit down! Tintin! Wensheng beckoned De Bruyne to sit down and poured him a glass of water.

"Are you sure you're okay?!"

Tintin hesitated and said, "No problem! ”

Wen Sheng knew that his situation might not be as good as he said.

Worried about the team and bent on winning, this heart is good, but even if you don't advance, weigh the pros and cons, Wensheng is still willing to have a healthy De Bruyne, if you go to Prague to let De Bruyne play, what if the injury is aggravated in the game?!

"Of course I can send you on the field, but I want to tell you that you are responsible for what you are doing now! Tintin, I understand that you are willing to take the responsibility of the team on your shoulders, and I like your responsibility very much!"

"But, I'm going to say but! It's not the team that you should be responsible for, it's yourself! Maybe other coaches might be happy to see you players fight tenaciously with injuries, but I can't, I don't approve of this approach, you're joking with your future, you know?! ”

"I'm sure you're really good and you can contribute better to the team, but instead you came on the pitch and got injured against Sparta Prague and it wasn't just you who suffered a big loss in the end! Hehe, don't forget, you kid, I have high hopes for you! ”

"Didn't they say that without you, we didn't attack fluidly and it was difficult to score! I can tell you right now, it's true, so don't get hurt at every turn, protecting yourself is the biggest contribution! ”

Protecting yourself is what Wen Sheng has always emphasized, and he is not not emphasizing that players should be tough, but they must learn to protect themselves in toughness.

De Bruyne was a little red by Wen Sheng's joke.

"I see, sir! I'll take good care of myself! ”

"Well, good! Go ahead, let me worry about winning! ”

Looking at De Bruyne's distant back, Wen Sheng smiled and shook his head, the kid is really not bad!

But damn it, you're like this, didn't you put a little pressure on me, away against Prague, if you don't win, you can't do it.

When the team went to Prague away, the team had another problem, it was the captain Derry, who had been absent due to injury and had just returned to training, but the coaching staff reported his name, and as a result, Derry was injured again in training and had to rest.

Wensheng is so depressed that he can't do it, the current midfielders still have Matic, Stroman, Ndiaye, Kante, and N'Golo Kante, and Ndiaye, who didn't get much chance in the first half of the season, wanted to seek a loan in the winter window, but Wensheng kept him, and now he has to be glad that this is the right approach, Ndiaye has been getting more opportunities recently, and there is no way to lack people.

"What the hell is this!" When Wensheng was at the family dinner, relatives and friends were concerned about the situation of the team, Wensheng felt that this season was really a hell, the central defenders were injured to only two comrades, and now the central defenders are full, and the fucking midfielders are here again, Boateng is running, De Bruyne, Derry is injured, and the four people play three midfielders, which is almost as serious as the injury of the central defenders in the first half of the season.

When Wensheng's teacher Warnock called him before the Europa League, Wensheng complained about the injury problem again.

"Hmph, you kid be content! Some of the team's main players have been injured for several months, and your situation is good! ”

"Where am I?! So far, the team has been injured 31 times! "Wen Sheng knows these statistics well, compared to the Championship period, this injury is simply too painful.

"Stop complaining! In fact, everyone is the same, it was really hell last season, Crystal Palace didn't have any injuries! Let's talk about it and see if it's a problem with the new strength and conditioning coach you're looking for! Warnock was really suspicious of Crystal Palace's fitness coach Bullock. Hall.

This is also too close to the relationship, so Warnock did not shy away from it at all, and directly expressed his doubts.

"Impossible!" Wen Sheng immediately vetoed it, he never doubted the training problems of the physical trainer Hall, and he trusted Hall's professional ability very much.

Wen Sheng wondered if his training amount was a little smaller, Crystal Palace had always practiced once a day except for summer training, which was relatively easy.

"Save it, boy! At this stage, you have to reduce the amount of training and pay attention to maintaining good physical fitness! You've got a lot of events right now, and you've got to make good rotations to be real! Warnock advised Wen Sheng and dispelled Wen Sheng's self-doubt.

"Anyway, every team is miserable at this stage, you have to stand up!" Warnock concluded.

In Eastern Europe, the Czech Republic was still very cold in early February, so Wensheng and his team arrived in Prague a day early.

Sparta Prague is the top team in the Czech Republic, and the team that has won the most titles in their own national top league, but their dominance in the country has not been very good over the years, Plzen Victory, Slavia Prague are their competitors, more than half of the Czech First Division this season, Prague has fallen behind Plzen Victory by more than ten points, and it looks like there should be no drama to win the championship.
