Chapter 608 What is not written in the script

However, can the development of facts really go as smoothly as Pellegrini predicts?

I'm afraid it's not just hard, it's hard.

No, full of confidence back to the dressing room with 0-0, Pellegrini was about to praise the players for their "excellent" performance in the first half, and asked everyone to continue to work hard in the second half, before the words could be spoken, as the attacking core of the yellow submarine, Carney stood up at this time and expressed his different opinions.

"No, Coach, I don't agree with you."

On the contrary, Pellegrini has a characteristic similar to Friedman, that is, he prefers to listen to the views of the players, after all, only by knowing what the players are thinking and communicating well, can he better play the team's strength perfectly.

Therefore, in the face of Carney's questioning at this moment, the Chilean engineer not only did not get angry, but asked with interest, "Oh? Why don't you agree? You talk about your point of view. ”

"What is the attack power of Crystal Palace, I believe I don't need to say more, BOSS, you also know very well, with LEE, they are already the best in Europe, and in the first half, their coach did not press out to attack out of prudent considerations, but if they really want to attack, I think our defense will definitely be exhausted by then.

And, even if we take 10,000 steps back, is it really in the same unthinkable way in the second half of this game as in the first half, and then we don't want to make progress and keep the score 0-0 to the end, is it really beneficial to us?

Don't forget, in a week's time, the second leg between our two sides will be played at Crystal Palace's home stadium.

And so far, in their own home stadium, Crystal Palace has maintained a crazy record of 17 wins and 1 draw this season, averaging 3.1 goals per game. ”

"That's right, is there anything else you want to add?"

Looking at Pellegrini's calm face after listening to his opinion, he really couldn't figure out what the former was thinking, and after thinking about it seriously, Carney added: "A master tactician once said that the best defense is attack, and when we develop the ball into the opponent's half, there is no doubt that our goal is the safest state." ”

"Smack! Syllable! He slapped his palm lightly, which was an affirmation of what Carney said before, but verbally, Pellegrini said on the contrary, "I have to say, Carney, there is still some truth in your words."

But have you ever thought about a question? I admit that Crystal Palace have the most luxurious forward line in all of Europe, so what? In your opinion, when Crystal Palace wants to attack us, it will be more reasonable for us to abandon our defense and pull out the attack with the opponent than for us to respond calmly and focus on defensive counterattacks? ”

It has to be said that Manuel Pellegrini does have a unique perspective on tactics, even if he was not born in professional football and was a civil engineer until he was 35 years old.

As he said, assuming that Carney's argument is true, no, it is not a hypothesis. Unless Crystal Palace are willing to play a penalty shootout with the Yellow Submarine in which God can't see the outcome of the second leg 0-0, then they will inevitably press out to attack.

The only difference is whether it's this game or the next game.

And as long as Crystal Palace presses out to attack, then the opportunity for the yellow submarine will come.

It's not that the Yellow Submarine is really sure that it can defend itself against all of Crystal Palace's attacks, and then catch counterattacks to kill the opponent. After all, Pellegrini also said that this Crystal Palace, with Li Yi, is equal to the best striker combination in Europe.

However, no matter what you say, in the case that the opponent has to attack, the strength is not as good as the opponent, and the defense and counterattack must be the best choice, right?

……

Seeing that one of the two disciples was finally persuaded by themselves and suppressed their hearts that were ready to attack, Pellegrini breathed a long sigh of relief and began to lay out his own strategy if Crystal Palace pressed out in the second half.

However, when a team's offensive blood has been awakened, and they have a reason to attack (to please the fans), is it really so easy to suppress the idea of attacking?

All this will be tested in the 45 minutes of the second half -

Unlike Pellegrini, who was worn out and did not necessarily achieve the results he expected, the atmosphere in the dressing room of Crystal Palace was undoubtedly much more harmonious.

Again, Friedman, although he may not be a master tactician, is definitely an expert in the mud, don't you see, the dressing room of Crystal Palace, almost never had any problems?

Therefore, Friedman, who was supported by Li Yi at this time, was undoubtedly very easy to convey even if the tactics he arranged were not very convincing.

What's more, through the observation of the last few minutes of the first half of the game, whether it is Friedman or Li Yi, they have found that the fruits of their deliberate weakness in this game can be harvested immediately, and in such a situation, the Crystal Palace will definitely not mess with itself.

The first thing Pellegrini did was to praise the performance of the Palace players in the first half, and then Friedman said: "Well, everyone believes and knows the difference between Spanish football and our English football, Spanish football, they want not only a victory, but a beautiful victory." But we are different, for us who are pragmatic, it doesn't matter if we are beautiful or not, as long as we can win the final victory, even if we only have one shot on goal in a game, or even no shot on goal, it doesn't matter.

For the second half, we have to be prepared for both.

First of all, if Villarreal's players on the field, influenced by the fans, press out to attack, we have to fight them back resolutely. However, when counter-attacking, you must pay attention to your own defense......

The second preparation was that the opposing coach managed to convince the players that they would still use the same tactics as in the first half, and in this case, we would respond to the same tactics in the first half.

In such a situation, the opponent has no chance to break through our goal.

Wait until the score of 0-0 until the 85th minute of the second half, and in the last 5 minutes, I ask you to throw away the burden of defending before, attack with all your might, take the opponent by surprise, and strive to win the opponent. ”——

The match between the two sides continued in the second half after a 15-minute break.

No matter how much you want to attack, after the continuous persuasion of midfielder Pellegrini, at the beginning of the second half, Villarreal's players were still very restrained on the field.

However, as time progressed, Crystal Palace deliberately arranged by Friedman to pull their own line more and more, and the players on the field of Villarreal unknowingly walked into the trap that Crystal Palace dug for them.

Even if, after seeing what Crystal Palace was playing in time, Pellegrini hoarsely on the sidelines and watched the players on the pitch steady.

However, not to mention that in the frantic boos of the fans, they may not be able to hear Pellegrini's shouts, even if they do, with the combat effectiveness shown by Crystal Palace today, the Villarreal players who think that the other party is far inferior to themselves have already thrown Pellegrini's orders to the country of Pawwa.
