247. Lead
Wen Sheng certainly won't settle for a point, Martin. Taylor was basically right about Wen Sheng's mind, and he just had to wait now.
"Be patient, be patient!" Wen Sheng encouraged his players in the dressing room.
'We had a full week off and they didn't, and in the second half they specified how long they couldn't hold on to this intensity!'
In addition to keeping the players with the necessary patience, Wensheng will also make adjustments in the second half, if according to the way of shrinking in the first half, Chelsea's physical energy consumption is not very large, how can they consume more physical energy, run!
Wen Sheng was thinking about whether he should move the formation forward in the first half, and the position of the midfield interception was advanced, which was a risk, but Wen Sheng himself was ready to move, first of all, the zero shots in the first half must have made the players feel uncomfortable, everyone did not want to take a point but wanted to take three points, so that people could not see the future, and secondly, he felt that he would impact the opponent and take the initiative to change the rhythm Maybe he could catch Chelsea off guard.
Weighing the pros and cons, Wen Sheng finally decided at halftime to play Chelsea at the beginning of the second half, you all guess I am conservative, Lao Tzu is not conservative!
The so-called attack is unprepared!
At the end of the fifteen-minute break, the players from both sides returned to the pitch.
It so happened that the two managers met again at the entrance of the passage.
"Well done defensively, Daniel!" Ancelotti said with a smile
"I didn't let you score!"
"I said that you kid is more conservative than our Italian coach, your strength is very strong, you can't do this!" Ancelotti jokingly teased Wen Sheng.
"Yes, Carlo! I've relied on this tactic to defeat you three times, and this time it will definitely work! Wen Sheng threw down a sentence very much.
Ancelotti shook his head helplessly.
He was also helpless at half-time, and today he used Zhirkov and Ramirez on both wings, neither of whom is known for their breakthroughs, but mainly in attack and defense, and lacks variables in the frontcourt.
He had already thought about bringing Malouda on if his team were still unable to attack in the second half.
But he didn't expect Crystal Palace to suddenly start to exert force in the second half, and the line moved forward significantly, and he started to attack his own team.
The Chelsea players were a bit uncomfortable with the sudden change at Crystal Palace.
In the 47th minute, Stroman made a steal in the midfield and launched a long pass, Vardy successfully countered offside, burst into the penalty area, and deducted David on the left side. Luiz, with a low shot into the near corner, was blocked by Cech.
"Wow!" There was a huge cry of regret from the fans in the stadium, what a shame it was.
Wen Sheng also stretched out the goose's neck to look, but as a result, he didn't score!
Of course, it was a good opportunity, but Vardy received the ball on the side, not in the right direction, and when he entered the box and tried to shoot, the two Chelsea centre-backs who ran straight back were already in place, creating a certain problem for him.
Vardy hugged his head and turned around to give a thumbs up to Stroman, who had played a long ball.
Wen Sheng is also satisfied with the performance of the teenager Stroman, he will soon be 20 years old, the boy has grown up well, today on the pitch he replaced Kante's position, under the reminder of captain Derry, the defense is still quite good, is one of the contributors to the draw in the first half of Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace finally broke through the zero shots with Jamie Vardy's shot.
Ancelotti then yelled on the pitch to the effect that he had to pay attention to the defense.
The battle between the two sides began without warning.
Wensheng takes the initiative to change, takes the initiative to gamble, you want to attack, the inevitable backline has the possibility of being more threatened, and the attack can of course also bring pressure to the opponent.
Now the test is everyone's defensive level and return speed.
In contrast, Chelsea's approach is a bit more three-dimensional.
They have Drogba, they have the fast Torres, and they can go directly to the front to play counter-attacks, while Crystal Palace has no high points and can only rely on anti-offside or ground cooperation.
In the 50th minute, Chelsea also took the color to David. Luis found Drogba with a long pass, Drogba carried Benatia and made the ball to Torres, Torres tried to pass McCarthy with speed without stopping the ball, who knew that McCarthy seemed to see his intentions, fell to the ground accurately, and stifled Torres's single knife.
It's a dangerous ball, and once Torres does get past McCarthy, no one can catch up.
"Well done!" Wen Sheng gave McCarthy a thumbs up in his heart, and this interception was crucial.
David. Luiz's long pass is also good, this player Wen Sheng has a memory, but he doesn't know much about his technical characteristics.
Chelsea have spent a lot of money this winter break. Luiz moved from Benfica during the winter break to bolster Chelsea's defence, costing Chelsea €30 million, which is no small amount.
Judging from this game, Wen Sheng hasn't seen whether the 30 million is worth it anyway.
Hehe, Crystal Palace has only tested Chelsea's defence in this game until now, and he certainly can't see whether Luis is worth it or not.
Chelsea's ability to run is very strong, and Crystal Palace are not bad, they are also young, and they have a week off, so the tempo of the attack and defence on both sides is very fast.
The fans at the scene were fascinated, and there were bursts of exclamations in the stadium.
The exclamations were all about commending both sides at the back, everyone defended well, and the players repeatedly did a good job.
Let's talk about Drogba, this game has just played with the little brother Benatia, sometimes he wins, but most of the time he is below, Benatia is really not afraid of such physical confrontation, he really has some experience in defending Drogba, and he jumps high.
His fierce performance is sure to be enjoyed by Crystal Palace fans, and every time his brilliant defense is cheered on.
As time went on, both Drogba and Torres felt a little off!
Drogba's age is there, and it's time to take a break from battling young Benatia for so long.
Torres played the whole game against Manchester United in the last game, and he was particularly satisfied with this game, with his range of activities on the left, centre and right, how could he not be tired.
Chelsea's backline is also quite uncomfortable, Crystal Palace's players are short and flexible, and their midfield passes are also more ghostly, causing them to run constantly, although they did not allow Crystal Palace to score, but the physical consumption is also large.
Less than a minute after Chelsea replaced Fernando Torres, Palace finally broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute with Kevin De Bruyne scoring the goal.
Kevin De Bruyne launched an attack down the middle and distributed the ball to Zaha, who made a couple of successive changes to bring down the fitness of Ashley. Cole couldn't keep up at all and actually slipped on the court.
Cole's hands are also quite cheap, and he didn't forget to tug Zaha's autumn pants when he fell to the ground.
Zaha struggled hard, cut in, swept towards goal, there was chaos in the box, the ball was cleared, De Bruyne followed, and a burst shot was too much for Cech to save.
Crystal Palace, playing at home, took the lead.
Kevin De Bruyne happily ran to the sidelines to celebrate with the fans!
"Tintin, we have a kid from Belgium named Tintin, he's our favourite......." the fans sang a song for Kevin De Bruyne.
Wen Sheng happily took off to celebrate, he was right again, the tactical gamble was successful!
Ancelotti is very helpless, how to say that he lost the goal, some luck is a little unexpected, but the team's physical decline is the main factor that causes the goal to be conceded. Kerr can't be blamed, he's tired enough, he also played in the last game.
If you are not physically fit, your body will react very directly, and it is normal for him to be shaken off when he meets a young Zaha.
"This bastard is probably waiting for such an opportunity!"
Ancelotti only realized at this time why Wen Sheng made uncharacteristically changes that did not fit his personality, and he was tough with his team at the beginning of the second half.
I clearly want my players to move and run hard!
