134. Disputed Goals

"Martinez looks like he's changed formation, Wigan is more of a 343 now!" Martin. Minutes after Taylor's second-half commentary, it became apparent that Wigan had changed formations.

Wen Sheng also found that Wigan changed the formation, 343, when attacking, the two sides of the midfield are also pressed, and it is easy to occupy the advantage of numbers in the front field, and when defending, the two wingbacks can retreat, and the defense line becomes a defensive line of five people, ensuring the width of the defense.

Martinez guessed that Crystal Palace wanted to defend and counter-attack in the second half, so he simply adjusted the formation and was full of aggression, and as for Crystal Palace's counter-attack, he handed it over to three central defenders and let them improvise.

To be honest, Wen Sheng really "admires" Martinez, but the old horse has completed the formation adjustment without changing one person, so it's okay?! Wen Sheng can't do it without admiration.

"This guy hasn't trained all the players on their team to be all-rounders!"

Wen Sheng regretted a little, he didn't bring Stroman today, Stroman's speed is average, he plays as a fullback or central midfielder in Sparta, and he has a lot of assists, relying on long passes and accuracy, if Stroman is there, Wen Sheng would really like to let Stroman play Delhi's position.

Today, considering that Stroman's defense is average, so he brought Matic, Matic can play long and short balls, but at least at this stage he is really not as good as Stroman, but he has better defensive awareness and attributes.

In the 51st minute, Delhi was fouled defensively, and Wigan was awarded a free kick in front.

Wen Sheng is like a big enemy, he saw something in the second half, Martinez's players always like to look for fouls now, it is a strong spurt, not to kill the messy defensive area of Crystal Palace, only to ask the opponent to foul, and Crystal Palace was obviously fooled, allowing Wigan to get a few set-pieces.

This time it was another physical contact, Delhi was a little slower, and was awarded a foul, Delhi was very unconvinced, and got a yellow card for arguing with the referee.

Wensheng is very worried, Wigan is good at scoring set-pieces, and not scoring in the first few times does not mean that this aspect is not Wigan's strong point.

Wigan's McCarthy did not drive the ball directly into the box, but instead allocated it to Moses, without making unnecessary adjustments, and drove the ball directly into the Crystal Palace box on the wing.

Oneu had done well in the first few aerial duels, but this time he headed the ball towards his own goal under the onslaught of the opposition, and Speroni was caught off guard by the goal and could not save the fate of conceding the goal.

"Foul! Foul! Wen Sheng was furious, and the Crystal Palace players complained to the referee that Wigan had fouled first, but the referee still ruled that it was a reasonable collision and the goal was valid.

The home fans cheered, while the away fans booed.

"Wigan equalised thanks to a controversial goal!" Martin. Taylor is known for being objective and impartial in his commentary, and his words now indicate that the ball is controversial.

"Fuck, it's a black whistle! It's a shame! Wen Sheng rushed to the fourth official in a fit of rage, and Lawrence hugged him halfway through.

"Shut up!" Lawrence scolded fiercely, "If you want to go, I'll go!" ”

Lawrence went straight to the fourth official and scolded him, saying that the penalty was quite incorrect, and of course he didn't curse like Wen Sheng.

Shouting at the fourth official is nothing more than to ease the anger, and it is useless in terms of punishment, and there is no VAR at this time, so it is up to the referee to judge for himself.

The unfair penalty made the Crystal Palace players a little angry and the action gradually became a little bigger, but a minute or two later, Boateng received another yellow card in the game, and Derry ran to argue with the referee.

In the 60th minute, Wen Sheng made a substitution adjustment, replacing Derry with Matic, Derry looked too eager to win, and he has been obsessed with the penalty just now, arguing too much, he is so excited, he can't wait to watch the game in the locker room later.

Wen Sheng understands Delhi's mood very well, and he himself is very angry, but what can be done, the referee's decision is a holy decree, and no matter what, his side has to be patient for the time being.

Derry was a little upset when he saw the substitution sign on the sidelines, but he quickly took off the captain's armband and asked Morgan to hand it to Speroni.

"I know you're not happy, but if you continue to argue with that piece of shit like this, it's unlucky for us sooner or later! You have to learn to give in! Wen Sheng advised as he shook hands with Derry.

"I give in and! He's a piece of shit! Derry was still unhappy in his mouth, and returned to the bench with a curse.

Wen Sheng didn't care about him, and sent Matic not only because Derry has cards on him and his words are manic, but also because Matic is tall, more than 1.9 meters tall, and has an innate advantage when defending set-pieces.

After levelling the scores, Wigan took advantage of the win and tried to score another goal, but they were unable to do so, and gradually Palace gained momentum again.

Soon Palace also created danger in the Wigan box, with Jamie Vardy in the box and Mertens threatening from the edge of the box, but the problem was that there was no goal.

In the 65th minute, just after 20 minutes of the second half, Wen Sheng replaced Mertens with Zaha, Mertens didn't have anything to say, Wen Sheng said that giving 20 minutes was unmistakable, he improved a little in the second half, but it was not enough, and the ability to advance with the ball was not brought into play.

The young players of the team were one of the main players last season, but this season they have become substitutes, but sometimes they have to be convinced, Mertens and De Bruyne are better than them in training, and it is natural to win places.

Zaha held back his strength, and Wen Sheng specially told them that the arrival of newcomers does not mean that they must be the main force, everyone is fair competition, and whoever performs better will naturally have the ability to sit in the main position.

Mertens did not perform well, everyone saw it, and Zaha naturally hoped to be a little brighter and prove it to Wen Sheng.

Zaha was very positive but still hardly effective, and he was confident when he came on the pitch, but his shot was a mess, and he was given two anti-aircraft guns first, which caused boos from the home fans.

A big problem for Crystal Palace is still the lack of attacking strength, limited assists from full-backs, Klein and Shills have not completed even one bottom so far, and the two central midfielders Kante and Nemanja Matic are guarding the center circle line, not pressing forward, and still relying on the front four people.

With Wil-Zaha easily falling into a solo game, Kevin De Bruyne remains the best performer, but faces the most defensive pressure and a drop in passing accuracy.

"Alas! Am I being too conservative?! Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines and asked himself, Wigan's strength is weaker than imagined, this team is also a level team in the middle of the Championship, Martinez can still lead them to relegation, it is really good.

"Forward press! Press it up a little! Wen Sheng shouted and gestured, during this time Wigan had shrunk across the board and was at an absolute disadvantage, Wen Sheng finally decided to take risks and pursue goals.

Martinez stood on the sidelines touching his chin and was silent, at this moment he can best appreciate the benefits of real money, of course, he also knows that Crystal Palace's promotion to the Premier League last season may not be as simple as an accident hyped by the outside world, excluding new signings, Kante, Klein, and Hills are all performing very well, plus a Derry who is off the field.

The team is at a disadvantage, and he has no good way to do it, so he can only temporarily let his team play a quick counterattack when they grab the ball.

In the 78th minute, Crystal Palace finally scored a second goal, and the hero was still Kevin De Bruyne.

De Bruyne passed the ball only in the ribs, Vardy ran to receive the ball and took a step or two outside, De Bruyne cut in, Vardy passed the ball in the momentum, and the two made a two-by-one combination in the ribs.

De Bruyne didn't stop the ball and fired straight into the far corner.

The kid's upper body strength is insufficient, but the strength of the lower limbs is not to be said, the swinging leg shot is very powerful, Corcoran knocked the ball out with both fists, between the big penalty area and the small penalty area, Boateng arrived in time, grabbed the header relay before the opponent cleared, and put the ball into the empty goal.
