In the Championship, Nottingham Forest are a very good defensive team, only conceding 40 goals in 46 games, the only one who has conceded more goals than them is Newcastle, Newcastle can actually be regarded as a Premier League team, this team owner is indeed a miser, but he is not poor enough to sell his players, the team structure basically maintains their squad from last season in the Premier League.

Their relegation was not due to strength, but to internal contradictions.

In the last game against Nottingham, Wen Sheng found that in fact, the opponent was the same as them, they all relied on defense to eat, and Wen Sheng himself had to be a little ashamed, Crystal Palace more or less relied on the advantage of numbers, and the bus was closer to the goal.

In addition to this, Nottingham also have another characteristic, they play at a slower pace in midfield in a diamond-shaped position.

Generally speaking, in the diamond position, the ability of the full-back needs to be very high, and both the defense and the attack need to work hard. Full-backs like Carlos and Cafu will have a clear numerical advantage in the diamond-shaped midfield, and the counter-attack will also be very aggressive.

It's a pity that Nottingham don't have Carlos and they don't have Cafu, so they have to slow down the tempo, and many times they rely on the wingers to pull the edges.

They don't have that kind of super striker, and they don't score many goals as a team, only 65 goals in total.

Because of these characteristics of Nottingham, Wen Sheng had a bold idea, he planned to press the formation in this game, press the opponent in a high position, use "fast" to deal with the opponent, and look for good opportunities.

At the end of the pre-match ceremony, the referee's whistle sounded, and the game officially began.

From the very beginning, the three lines of Crystal Palace stood very forward.

Nottingham Forest manager Billy. Davies didn't care too much, he had expected Palace to start at home, but he soon realized that something was wrong, Crystal Palace pressed too forward, and the three strikers kept running up front to interfere with Morgan's shots.

"Big Foot Out Ball! Forward with a big kick! ”

The celebrities in the stands also found that this start is very different from that of Crystal Palace in the past, first of all, Wen Sheng's Crystal Palace basically did not do the start of the game, conservative is the label in their bones, and secondly, this kind of high defense is too scary, and Crystal Palace's half left a big gap.

There was a faint concern that this was not a Crystal Palace specialty.

But the worries soon turned into joy.

Crystal Palace's pressing is really powerful, the midfield is originally a group of fast guys, with strong movement ability, Nottingham Forest can't find the ball out of the backfield, and it's too embarrassing to kick out of bounds every time, right?!

In the 3rd minute, Nottingham Forest central defender Morgan made a mistake when he played the ball at the back, and the ball passed directly to the feet of Daenes, who passed to Kante in the middle, Kante went diagonally to the other side, Scannell inserted at high speed, and passed the ball in the small penalty area, Vardy!

Shot!

Smith's side-saving was just a symbolic gesture and there was nothing to stop Vardy's shot!

1：0！

Selhurst Stadium remembers the loud cheers.

Wen Sheng clenched his fists and shouted, "yes!"

The group of guys on the bench rushed out of their seats, everyone was worried about whether the new tactic would work, and the goal released the pressure from everyone, and the leader was always the right one.

In addition to rejoicing, everyone's reverence for Wensheng has reached a higher level.

"Perfect, perfect!" Wright clapped vigorously and chatted with Southgate and others on the side, smiling and chatting about the goal.

"What to do?! What to do?! Davis's head kept swirling with the question.

He expected that the Crystal Palace grabbing the start was not such a way to grab, he thought that the Crystal Palace grabbing the start was just to invest a lot of manpower in the offense with the ball, and slowly retreat in defense, who would have thought that the Crystal Palace would be so fierce without the ball?! It's all about not giving your side a chance to control the ball.

The Nottingham Forest players are also panicking because they don't know what to do?! Their ability is not enough for them to calmly control the transmission at the back, not every team can become Barcelona?!

With trepidation, the Nottingham Forest players restarted the game.

There's nothing to say, Crystal Palace's midfield is a mad dog-like press, Klein and Shears are very high on the press, this is not to put pressure on the opponent, purely to set the side attack, their role is not to cross mainly to contain and distract the opponent on the side, Crystal Palace has no high points, and will not often use the tactic of crossing.

This point is that Wen Sheng has repeatedly emphasized, he would rather play the ball player to the penalty area to lean on the penalty area than resolutely do less crossing.

Davies didn't think of a countermeasure, and in the eighth minute, Nottingham Forest conceded again, this time by their defender Guy. Moxi's mistake, after the French midfielder received the ball, was immediately blocked by three Crystal Palace players.

Moxie has a certain advantage in height and defence, but possession is really his weakness, and in the panic, he failed to control the ball well and was tackled by his compatriot N'Golo Kante.

Crystal Palace's forwards immediately ran into the middle, and Moxie was the last barrier between the central defenders and the midfielders, and he was left behind, and the defense could only rely on Morgan and Lynch.

The two central defenders Morgan is only 25 years old, Lynch is only 21 years old, and they are inexperienced, so it stands to reason that they should separate one person to grab the ball and advance Kante no matter what the situation, but the two lacked tacit understanding under the panic and did not take the initiative to tacitly attack, and as a result, Kante easily brought to the edge of the penalty area and perfectly adjusted the pace.

Shot!

Small body, big energy, Kante's shot is full of power!

Kante's unexpected choice of long-range shot, another accident, according to Davis's observation, Kante is the kind of forward midfielder, he is a defensive midfielder, he rarely shoots at all, 46 rounds of games have not scored a single goal, can he shoot? !

But today's Wensheng's arrangement is like this, let Kante play in front, use his positional sense and wide range of runs to help the team press high, he is the most critical link.

The centre-backs were confused, and goalkeeper Smith was even judging who N'Golo Kante would give the ball to shoot.

But Kante shoots!

The angle of the ball was not tricky, but the strength was in place, and Smith was not in a good position, although he flew to touch the ball, but the ball still flew into the net behind him!

"N'Golo, N'Golo!" The fans are frantically shouting Kante's name!

The club's top brass and celebrities are now laughing in the stands.

Two goals in 10 minutes, who would have thought this would be the case?!

Wen Sheng and Hawking hugged each other.

"Fuck, I don't even know what to say!" Joey exclaimed excitedly.

"Then don't say anything!" Wen Sheng stretched out his hand and pinched Joey's face vigorously.

He was very excited, so excited that he wanted to vent, Joey was unfortunately too close, face to face, so Wen Sheng couldn't help but pinch his face.

"Ah......h

Davies' grim expression was eight minutes, and it was less than 10 minutes after the opening kick-off, and his team was 2-0 down on the road, which was really demoralizing.

Everyone should sympathize with Davis, Billy. Davies is a good coach, Nottingham Forest itself is not strong, it can only be regarded as the middle level of the Championship, and the team is also an extremely young team like Crystal Palace, and the average age is only a little older than Crystal Palace, but Davies has brought this team to the third place in the league, and the ability can be seen.

But for the two-legged semi-finals, Davies obviously thinks clichéd, his ideas are not much different from Wen Sheng's ideas, they all want to keep away from home and try to score goals, but he underestimated Wen Sheng's determination to attack at home, he didn't calculate that the pressure of Crystal Palace was so crazy.
