202. The key to winning
βyesοΌβ
Wen Sheng clenched his fists and shouted excitedly.
De Bruyne's free-kick speed is as high as 137 kilometers per hour, and with the cooperation of Mertens and Klein, it is understandable that Begovic is indifferent when the edge of the penalty area is so close.
Crystal Palace players gathered around Kevin De Bruyne to celebrate.
", awesome!" Derry shouted.
"It's a fork, my brother!" Mertens jumped on the back of the fellow.
"Man, Begovich has been beaten by you!" Boateng patted De Bruyne on the head.
De Bruyne was quite complacent, "This ball speed must be more than 100 years old!" β
Needless to say?!
Pulis stood on the sidelines helplessly, you can only praise this kind of shooting, this kind of goal, you can't blame anything.
Whitehead can be blamed, if he had allowed Boateng to shoot, he might not have scored at all!
But how is it possible to accuse him?!
On any team, the defenders will probably do what Whitehead does, stop the opponent from shooting, and interfere with the opponent no matter how bad it is.
Kevin De Bruyne's goal was a huge demoralisation blow to Stoke City, who defended well today, and Crystal Palace didn't create any good chances at all, but now they are behind in the scoreline.
Then Crystal Palace became more and more confident, and got chances in the Stoke City half in succession. Lee was indeed out of shape and wasted a good opportunity.
Wen Sheng raised his wrist and looked at it, it was almost, more than seventy minutes, and it was time to change.
Zaha changed his clothes and stood on the sidelines.
Wen Sheng told him his face.
"Will, play the center forward position when you come on the field, and strengthen the position with Dris!"
"Watch out for running off the ball! Do you understand? β
"Got it! Chief! Zaha nodded.
Wen Sheng nodded and patted him on the shoulder, signaling that he could get on.
Zaha replaces Alan. Lee, that signal made Pulis think Palace were going to play defensive counter-attacking tactics.
It can be seen that Wen Sheng's team still wants to firmly grasp the ball, and it is difficult for him to guess what Wen Sheng wants to do, and finally under the reminder of the assistant coach, he remembered that Crystal Palace has no one available, and it is helpless to replace Zaha.
Zaha is not too good, he does not understand Wensheng's tactical requirements, but he is not used to it, Vardy is often the striker who does not take the ball, but Zaha is a winger who likes to take the ball, and the habit of playing makes Zaha always like to get the ball out of the penalty area, and then want to rely on his personal ability to tear apart the opponent's defense.
But damn it, he can't hold the ball with his back, it's so easy to turn around, and a few times he didn't get in touch with Boateng in time to get the ball with his back and they were cut off by the players from Stoke City.
Wen Sheng wasn't angry at all, he knew that Zaha would be like this nine times out of ten when he came on the field, but there was another time if this kid had a flash of inspiration, the opponent might be unlucky.
In the second half, Mertens and De Bruyne passed a few half-man-high crosses according to Wensheng's requirements, and the two tall defenders of the opposing side, Hutter and Shawcross, were really difficult to deal with. Li is always half a beat slow, which makes Wen Sheng cry out helplessly.
Zaha came on the pitch, and the wings of Crystal Palace also passed, but the effect was still zero, and Zaha's rush in the penalty area was very bad.
The clock had flickered to more than eighty minutes, and with ten minutes to go before the game was over, Pulis remained unmoved.
"What the hell is he thinking?!" Wen Sheng muttered to himself.
He hasn't understood Pulis's intentions yet, Pulis has changed, and there are only a few minutes left to attack?!
Crystal Palace's style of play is quite shameless from another angle, ineffective possession is done too much, Stoke City pressed, but it is difficult to receive good results, Crystal Palace ball to the back and began to open the foot to the sideline.
Stoke City often got the ball forward, but the effect was not good, and Crystal Palace's two centre-backs, Benatia and Van Dijk, were tall and showed their skills.
Clattenburg's whistle blew and the game was over.
Wen Sheng happily high-fived the coaches and substitutes in celebration, and then hurried to the home and away coaches' benches to shake Pulis's hand nonchalantly.
Pulis didn't invite Wen Sheng to have a drink after the game, and Wen Sheng didn't mind, and he didn't want to drink with Pulis anyway.
"Tintin!" Wen Sheng returned to the stadium and hugged the players to celebrate, and when he saw Ding Ding's back, Wen Sheng greeted him.
"We've won, boss!" De Bruyne exclaimed.
"Yes, we won!" Wen Sheng laughed and hugged De Bruyne.
"Tintin, you guys had a good day, you scored a fantastic goal! Very brilliant goal! It seems that the goals set for you this season are not too difficult, should you add some burden?! Wen Sheng smiled harmlessly.
"Huh?!" Kevin De Bruyne has been adapting to the Premier League for so long, he is basically familiar with the league and knows that playing here is not an easy task, and of course De Bruyne will not be afraid of a challenge.
"No problem! I've set myself a goal of 15 goals and 15 assists in a season, right? De Bruyne offered to give himself a task.
Masochist?! Wen Sheng complained.
Double 15?! It's a bit difficult, you know, it's been almost half a season now, and De Bruyne hasn't scored more than five goals or assists.
What's more, Wen Sheng doesn't want De Bruyne to be obsessed with personal performance, and it's a good thing to set a goal, but it would be worth the loss to ignore the team goal for his own goal, so Wen Sheng smiled: "Actually, I was just joking!" It doesn't matter what the goal is, I wanted you to have a clear direction of effort when I set the goal for you! β
"But now that you've proven that you're not just a good young player, but also a team player, goals and assists don't matter to you, it's important that you're the commander, and you know when it's time to step up and lead the brothers to victory! Do you understand?! β
This can of chicken soup, if you don't accept it, you can't do it!
Look, how high is this realm?! It's better than a goal than an assist.
De Bruyne also listened enthusiastically, yes, this means how much the boss trusts me!
"I'm going to do my best! Chief! β
Wen Sheng nodded and let De Bruyne leave.
The game against Stoke City was generally rather boring, with Palace playing a sluggish game and Stoke City looking at a loss for control of Crystal Palace.
In the past few years, there are fewer people who play pass control in the Premier League, such as Arsenal, they also play pass control, but Professor Wenger is obviously not so shameless as Wen Sheng, Arsenal does not control the ball for the sake of possession, but for the sake of attack.
But Wensheng, this Crystal Palace is completely in possession for the sake of possession, doesn't Stoke City not like to control the ball very much, okay, then we control, so that it is difficult for you to get the ball.
Wen Sheng himself didn't think there was any point in such ball control, but the reporters after the game seemed to climax, 70% to 30% of the ball possession time, Crystal Palace's possession rate was as high as 70%, which is a rare thing in the history of the Premier League, not to mention that Crystal Palace has always been inconspicuous, not the kind of team that plays pass control.
"Wen, are you happy with the result of this game?!" Sky Sports reporter Cox interviewed Wen Shengdao after the game.
"Satisfied! Very satisfied! We won this game, Britannia is difficult to conquer, Toney's team has always been tenacious defensively, today we played bravely, everyone played well, I am very happy to win this game! Wen Sheng briefly described his feelings.
"Your control of the game today is incredible, is that the key to your victory?!" Cox continued.
"No, the key to winning today's game is that Delap is injured!" Wen Sheng had an idea and gave Pulis a soul crit.
The reporters present laughed uncontrollably.
"I'm serious and serious! Delap's throw-in is quite lethal, it's Toney's killer feature! I regret Delap's injury, he's a good player! "Wen Sheng is serious.
