"Hello Daniel! I've been impressed by your team lately, it's impressive! "Chris. Hughton waited for Wen Sheng at the entrance of the passage.

"Thank you, Mr. Hughton!" Wen Sheng smiled: "We are still working hard for relegation!" Your team is now in a position to get promoted! I'm sure every coach will appreciate what you do at Newcastle! ”

Anyway, if you compliment, you don't need money, and it's okay to exaggerate!

"Haha, let's have a drink after the game!" Hughton shook Wensheng's proposal.

"It's an honor!" Wen Sheng politely agreed.

"But this game, I'm not going to give up! This is my home turf! Hughton continued.

"I'm sure my players don't want to give up! You know you're Newcastle and every team in the league is hungry to beat you! We're no exception! Wen Sheng always smiled and fought-for-tat.

"Good luck then!" Hughton let go of his hand.

"I'm sure we're going to put on a good game for the fans!" Wen Sheng said with a smile.

Chris. Hughton is now 50 years old, but as far as the job of head coach is concerned, he is just as new as Wen Sheng, and he only has half a year more time than Wen Sheng to take the helm independently.

He has a lot in common with Wensheng, for example, he spent many years at Newcastle United and assisted Kevin. Keegan also assisted Alain. Alan Shearer, who is familiar with the team, believes this is an important factor in his ability to lead Newcastle all the way to a high level.

And Wen Sheng himself is almost the same, he is familiar with Crystal Palace and is a local, and Carlton strategically gave up some veterans, so that Wen Sheng got a good opportunity to promote young people, and the advantage of young people is obedience.

You don't dare to go against Wen Sheng if you don't see Zaha's head being scolded, this is the advantage of using young players.

The young people in the team are grateful to Wen Sheng, it is Wen Sheng who has given them a lot of game opportunities, plus the support of the three captains, which is the basis for Wen Sheng to become more and more handy in the locker room.

……

Crystal Palace's start did not come as a surprise.

Goalkeeper: Speroni

Guards: Klein, Lawrence, McCarthy, Sears

Midfielders: N'Golo Kante, Ndiaye, Delhi

Forwards: Zaha, Vardy, Scanner

Wen Sheng has been in office for so many games, everyone is already familiar with the routine, to put it bluntly, it is a bus, the midfield and backfield have hoarded seven players, all of them are defensive, they push the opponent's half of the court very few times in the middle of each game, most of the energy is on defense, and the offense relies on counterattacks.

The wingers on both wings are incredibly fast, and there is Allen. When Lee is in the front line, he will go high from the back to find the middle point, but Allen. When Lee is not around, they rarely make a fuss in the middle, and often rely on speed on the wing.

In the past, they won all kinds of victories, and in the final analysis, they had a lot to do with the contempt that their opponents treated them.

But now they have just beaten Wolves, the sharp counter-attack is eye-catching, Newcastle can't make such a mistake, of course this is their home stadium, they are indeed the leaders now, but there is no forgetting that Nottingham Forest behind them is not far away.

Newcastle at home has only one purpose, and that is to win!

Newcastle's tactical style of play is actually a bit restrained by Crystal Palace, because Hughton has adopted a twin-tower strategy in the league, 442.

The front two high school forwards Ameobi and Carroll partnered, and the midfielders Gutierrez, Barton, Nolan, and Smith lined up, and Steven was on the backline. Taylor, Enrique, Ryan. Taylor and Colocini partnered, and it was the veteran Harper who kept the door in front of Newcastle.

Just look at this starting line-up, it's not a star and a half better than Crystal Palace.

But whether it is a horse or a donkey, you have to take two steps first, Newcastle is indeed strong, but you have to play after you know who is the winner.

Newcastle's starting names were broadcast on the radio, and the crowd cheered, while the Crystal Palace players were naturally booed, and it didn't matter if it was not the first time that everyone had enjoyed such treatment.

The referee's whistle blows, and the game officially begins.

Playing for Wolves, it did make the team's self-confidence rise a lot, in the past, Wen Sheng was most worried about the young players not being able to adapt to strong opponents, but when playing Wolves, Wen Sheng found that several young people in the team, whether it was Klein or Hills or Scannell, were not too nervous, and adapted to the pace of the game quickly.

Even so, Wen Sheng was worried that Newcastle would attack as soon as they came up, but fortunately, Hughton was very cautious and did not attack, but slowly tried it.

Apparently Hulton is also worried about Crystal Palace's sharp counter-attack and strong midfield interception ability, and Crystal Palace are now getting better and better in the second point.

Newcastle, who have two high-pitched strikers, have to play on the flanks because they need crosses, and Crystal Palace are stronger in the middle than their opponents, so it's certainly not a good idea to play in the middle.

Wen Sheng also knows the opponent's routines well, and has made arrangements as much as possible, and the focus today is to limit the opponent's two fullbacks to press and assist.

Newcastle were patient, and after five minutes of play, they didn't have a single shot on goal.

Wen Sheng can see from their transmission that this is a team with a stable mentality.

To be honest, he is afraid of such a team, Crystal Palace has a clear defensive posture, and hopes that the opponent will attack them hard, but like Newcastle, who are always passing in circles, it is completely possible to cause Crystal Palace to lose their attention in an instant during the defensive process, and then they will give Crystal Palace a fatal blow.

"Focus! Focus! Wen Sheng kept shouting on the sidelines, and his hands directed the players to run and stand.

Even if the players on the field can't hear it, at least you can understand the general meaning from Wen Sheng's dancing in the coach's seat.

In the 10th minute, Zaha couldn't get back in time and Enrique finally got a cross when Carroll headed in the middle and Speroni saved the ball over the crossbar.

The fans exclaimed again and again, and Wen Sheng expressed his dissatisfaction with loud shouts, this ball Zaha should be defended.

Under Crystal Palace's system, the task of a winger is particularly heavy, not only to participate in the attack, but also to have a positive defensive attitude, especially in this situation where the opponent has already pressed the half, why do you stay in the opponent's half with a winger, why don't you defend back?!

Newcastle's corner once again threatened the door of Crystal Palace, Wen Sheng was also helpless, the header was originally a weakness on the side of Crystal Palace, and Newcastle had more personnel in the penalty area when the set-piece was taken, no longer two or one, and it was more difficult to defend, but fortunately, this time the threat was not as big as Carroll, and Coloccini deflected the ball.

As if finding a problem on the left side of Shears, Newcastle gradually focused their attacks on the left, which was under a lot of pressure.

Zaha has never been active in defending back, and Wen Sheng can't guess his intentions?!

It's nothing more than pinning your hopes on your teammates, and you can take advantage of the gap after Enrique presses!

Not to mention, my teammates are really powerful.

But his answering position is really speechless, the distance is too long.

In the fifteenth minute, after a successful steal by Hills, there was a long pass along the wing, the quality of the ball was not very good, and Zaha could not catch it, wasting a chance in vain.

Wen Sheng waved his hand vigorously, hoping that Zaha would be closer to Hills, so that he could form a small triangle between him and Kante and Hills, making it easier to pick up.

"Fuck, that's fucking stupid!" Wen Sheng saw that Zaha had not changed much, and couldn't help but be rude on the sidelines!

Newcastle's patience wore off after the half-hour mark, with just four shots on goal and their players having no idea how strong and flexible Palace would be in defence.

Crystal Palace's left flank was adjusted by Wensheng, and N'Golo Kante's defence was more inclined, causing the opposition to be limited again this time.

Hulton hurriedly gave the order to intensify the long-range shot in the middle, but this idea brought danger to Newcastle, and in less than ten minutes, Palace had several counter-attack opportunities.
