405. Tottenham 4
Lao Lei decided to wait and say, Wen Sheng wants to score, he still wants to score.
Lao Lei made some adjustments to the tactics in the second half, he asked the players to play more crosses to find Adebayo, in the first half Lennon and Bale were trying to make a fuss on the side, it turned out that this was really not a good choice, the previous bottom cut did not work at all, and was frequently cut off by Crystal Palace, Lao Lei thought that the team did not make full use of Adebayo's point.
So Wen Sheng began to see that his opponent often looked for Adebayo frequently.
Not to mention, Adebayo seems to have risen the ball, he has height, he has been tempered in the Premier League for many years, his ability to hold the ball with his back is acceptable, and his header is also a special loss, and occasionally he really creates some opportunities for Tottenham.
In the 50th minute, Adebayor's header was crossed, and Van der Vaart volleyed in the box and hit the woodwork.
In the 54th minute, it was still Adebayo who played the ball, Bale tried a long-range shot from outside the box, and Speroni played to the limit to keep the goal intact.
Wen Sheng was very dissatisfied, and scolded Benatia and McCarthy, "What are you doing to eat, keep an eye on him!" Keep an eye on him! Don't act like a! ”
Lao Lei was extremely annoyed when he saw that the team kept missing opportunities.
"Hurry up! Let's score! The Tottenham fans were silently thinking in their hearts.
After being yelled at by Wen Sheng, Benatia and McCarthy hated Adebayo so much that they used their hands and feet together, and soon extinguished the small flame of Adebayo.
Once again, the game between the two sides fell silent, with Palace still dominating the control.
More than ten minutes passed, Crystal Palace finally got a good opportunity to counterattack, in the 68th minute, Stroman broke the ball in the backfield, the ball back to Maggio, Maggio passed the ball straight to De Bruyne, De Bruyne shook off Héctor, killed to the middle, all the way wild, just when Cabo was about to grab, De Bruyne obliquely passed to Mertens, who was quickly inserted, Mertens slanted in the middle, Vardy successfully countered offside, got a single chance, and sent the ball into the Tottenham door safely!
2:0!
This counterattack was the first counterattack played by Crystal Palace in the second half, Tottenham had several shots on goal, all of which were almost scored, but Crystal Palace just fought back like this, scored and pulled the score away, I have to say that sometimes this football is really damned.
Wen Sheng smiled contentedly and high-fived the players on the bench.
Ray's response was interesting, as he replaced Van der Vaart with Pavlyuchenko.
"Twin Towers?!" Wen Sheng smiled secretly in his heart, disapproving Lao Lei's choice.
Tottenham's ability to control the ball was not strong when there was one more person, and now replacing Van der Vaart, who can organize, is equivalent to completely handing over the responsibility of organization to Modric alone, can this Modric do it?!
As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs, and Wen Sheng doesn't think that Modric can do a good job of organizing just by relying on Parker's help.
Lao Lei never thought about controlling the ball at all, he is now red-eyed, and he wants to score!
Tottenham must play Adebayor and Pavlyuchenko with high balls whenever they have the chance, and Palace can easily cope with them.
"What do I do if I change it?!" Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines and even had his thoughts flying, and he thought of a countermeasure for Tottenham.
One of Tottenham's problems is that they encounter a rather scoundrel style of play like Crystal Palace, when Crystal Palace is sure, they control the ball and slowly push the enemy back, and when there is one less person, they play all kinds of scoundrels, all kinds of delays, and lose the identity of the strong team.
The second is Tottenham's own problem, their midfield interception ability is not very strong, when Crystal Palace is in control, they have a difficult time to grab the ball, and the burden of interception is not on the midfielder but on the defender.
There is still a lack of a good midfielder, Parker is a player with more average ability in all aspects, Modric is stronger in attack than in defense, and when encountering opponents who are weaker than them in the Premier League, they may have the upper hand in control and can press the opponent, but when they meet a stronger team, they are a little difficult, this season they have Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, whether they win or lose, their possession rate is below.
Wen Sheng pondered for a long time, and came up with an idea similar to Lao Lei, and he still had to rely on the center to solve the problem.
If the center striker is not effective, it depends on the individual ability of players such as Bale.
Time has come to stoppage time, Tottenham really can't help Crystal Palace, they are deflated in stoppage time, the attack is weak, they probably resigned themselves to fate.
Lao Lei can't find anything to complain about, Crystal Palace doesn't foul much, but they have more fouls by one more person, Kante blocked Bale's great chance, but people also paid the price, who can you blame for not winning the game for nearly 70 minutes?!
"I'm not convinced!" Lao Lei was heartbroken when he drank with Wen Sheng after the game.
"Harry! I really don't understand, what's not convincing about you?! I scored first when we were evenly matched, and I scored when there were more of you! What are you not convinced?! How many absolute chances do you have?! You should be convinced! Wen Sheng's rebuttal made Lao Lei have nothing to say.
"You really do look like champions!" Lao Lei suddenly sighed.
What does a champion look like?! You can hardly miss a game that should be won, and occasionally you can desperately take away a victory if you deserve to lose!
Wen Sheng disagreed, even though Tottenham has future superstars Bale and Modric, but the level of these two is not as high as later, and Tottenham's comprehensive strength is still far from the crystal.
Bale is still a "tendon" type with the ball, and he does too little inward shooting, basically rushing with the ball, shooting past the opponent on the left side of the penalty area, and when Boas arrives, he puts Bale in the position of a free man in the front midfield, Bale gets unlimited firing rights, and Bale really shines, which means that the current Bale still belongs to the promotion stage.
As for Modric, the same is true, he has a good overall view now, and the long-pass scheduling needs to be improved.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace, from the beginning of Wen Sheng's promotion to the top team, Wen Sheng's emphasis is on control, teaching each player by hand, transforming according to his own intentions, it is impossible to do that with Lao Lei, Lao Lei is best at combining and putting players in the right position, and he does not have Wen Sheng's patience to train everyone.
The difference in coaching style and running-in skills have caused the difference in strength between the two teams.
Wen Sheng is very complacent in front of Lao Lei, of course, he still has to keep a low profile in face, after all, Lao Lei gave him six points in two rounds, and it is really not good to pretend to be a fork in front of others, it is almost enough to say a few words, after all, he is a fellow countryman!
Lao Lei is not the only one who said that Crystal Palace has begun to take on the image of a champion, and the media after the game have also praised Crystal Palace.
"In 70 minutes, Crystal Palace played with one less man, but they were still able to win Tottenham 2-0, and Crystal Palace already had the quality to win the title!" The Times published an opinion piece after the game.
'Palace showed their control all over the pitch and Tottenham didn't feel like they could play in front of them, the attack was disorganized! Crystal Palace showed patience, while Tottenham felt too impatient! In the case of one more person, the failure to make reasonable use of every possession is the biggest reason for their loss! "Old Ray's son, Jamie. Redknapp wasn't on his dad's side this time, praising Crystal Palace in a column in The Post, and unceremoniously criticizing his own dad.
Of course, there were also people who said that Crystal Palace's tactics were a bit shameless, and that it was too affordable to play as a team at the top of the table, but such words quickly drowned out in the spittle of Crystal Palace supporters.
Wen Sheng specially invited the whole team to dinner on the evening after this game, and he told the players that he saw a spirit of the team, a spirit of unity!
Yes, Wen Sheng is very relieved that after such a long time, the team has finally developed the character of a champion, and everyone can think about the team wholeheartedly.
"I have a dream! I want to lead you to the Premier League title this season! During the dinner, Wen Sheng confided in everyone very emotionally, "But I know that it is not possible to rely on me alone!" I'm a conductor at most, you're every member of the orchestra, and under my baton, if you move to my rhythm, you'll be able to play a beautiful piece together! ”
"None of us can do without each other, we can only achieve success after success if we are united, and only in this way can we still take three points away from White Hart Lane under extremely unfavorable conditions like we did today!"
