61. After the storm comes the rainbow

Wen Sheng's post-match rhetoric once again succeeded in "angering" his own players.

After this game, Crystal Palace reached 36 points, and 36 points put Wensheng's team in 13th place temporarily, just six points away from Leicester City, who have not yet completed the game.

Today I went to the scene to interview Sky Sports reporter Jordan. Myers asked if he had thought about promotion, as the team looked to be on good momentum and didn't seem too far away from the top six.

Who knows Wen Sheng said: "I am convinced of the team's potential, but I don't think we have the strength to be promoted at the moment, our priority is relegation!" Jordan, you forgot to look at the bottom of the standings, we are not far from the relegation zone! ”

Wen Sheng's words sound reasonable and completely acceptable to the outside media, but for the players of Crystal Palace, Wen Sheng's words are not heard.

Kante secretly texted Wen Sheng and asked, "Boss, do you really think we have no possibility of upgrading?!" The big guys don't like what you say about Scanthorpe! ”

Seeing this text message, Wensheng Zhile, you thick-eyed guy also rebelled?!

After being happy, Wen Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "No, I think this kind of dream should be there!" What I said after the game was my own judgment, we have potential, I have no doubt about that, but for now, our potential needs to be further developed! ”

The words just didn't say that you can't die, but he didn't say that you can, Kante felt that Wen Sheng still didn't believe in miracles anyway.

…..

Crystal Palace face fierce rivals Swansea City at Selhurst Stadium just three days away, and after the Scanthop game, Crystal Palace will face two more tough games, one against fifth-placed Swansea in the league and one against Aston Villa in the fifth round of the FA Cup on the afternoon of 14 February.

Scannell was excellent against Scanthop, but he also injured his ankle in that game and had to field Allen against Swansea. Lee, Lee hasn't fully recovered, but the team is really unavailable, and if you want to upgrade, an opponent like Swansea has to find a way to step on it.

Swansea's team is more balanced in attack and defense, more technical, and the head coach Paul. Sosa is a Portuguese football legend, so his Swansea side are more pass-oriented and rhythmic, unlike some Championship teams, who play simply and roughly.

Some teams refer to Crystal Palace, and Crystal Palace's current attack is very rough, that is, playing on both sides, of course, this is only temporary, and Wen Sheng also hopes to gradually adjust the rules.

In the first half, Palace defended very well, with Swansea playing more evenly and not being fully committed, which made it difficult for them to break through the Crystal Palace defence and did not have a few shots on goal.

Paul. Sosa are very distressed, the fifth place in the league is very precarious, if they can't win Crystal Palace in this game, then Leicester City are likely to overtake them, and then Sheffield United and Blackpool are likely to close the distance with them.

However, since the team of Crystal Palace took office, the style of play has gradually become clear, that is, counterattacking on both sides, which is a headache, if you invest too much in attack, you may not be attacked by Crystal Palace.

Every team has pros and cons. Sosa's team is balanced in attack and defense, but if you really want to talk about it, his team is poor forwards, there is no good striker in the team, and if there is a good striker, his team should be more than fifth.

Crystal Palace's tactical discipline is getting stronger, the players' patience with the game is gradually improving, and they also want to win this game, but it may not be the case in the eyes of the opponents, relegation seems to be a well-known goal for Crystal Palace, and a point is acceptable.

This game is a contest of patience, Wen Sheng at halftime especially mentioned that the forwards need to save physical energy, and the midfield needs greater mobility, everyone knows that the head is the same as us, and also wants to win this and that game, saving physical energy is not to impact the opponent's defense at a critical moment in the second half.

In the 76th minute of the second half, Wen Shengcai replaced Ryan with Zaha. Smith, this is the first substitution of the game, while Paul. Sosa has used up all three places, but he still can't help Crystal Palace.

In the 84th minute, after Zaha had trained three people on the wing, Jamie Vardy's header was blocked by the post. Lee scored to give Palace the lead.

It was the only goal of the game, and Wensheng's side won the league for the second time in a row.

In the second half, when the physical consumption was too heavy, Paul. Sosa's side had three good chances, but none of them took them, and Palace didn't have many chances to counter-attack, but the teenager Zaha's burst was so sudden that Swansea were not prepared to deal with it, making him a winner.

"Paul, today is my lucky day!" Wen Sheng likes Paul very much. Sosa's Swansea side, they look really good.

"No, your team is doing great! The results are well deserved! "Paul. Sousa had anticipated the difficulties of this game, and it was hard for him to believe that the young man in front of him could crumple a team that looked like a plate of loose sand, and the results were so good.

Paul. Sosa very much agrees with the statement of genius, in fact, many famous coaches have been smooth sailing when they joined the head coach, but after all, those famous coaches have many years of precipitation, let's just say that his compatriot Mourinho is now very famous, and the coaching is basically smooth sailing, but that is also years of accumulation, like Wen Sheng is so young, it is really impossible to find a second one.

The two of them had a drink after the game and chatted for about half an hour, the atmosphere was very good. Sosa had to obey.

The win over Swansea brought Palace to 39 points, which is currently only 12th, but the teams in the 2-6th place in this round have capsized, and as a result, Crystal Palace have further narrowed the gap to Leicester in sixth.

Of course, there are still a large number of friendly teams between Crystal Palace and Leicester, there are many teams with 40 points, and there are many teams with 39 points at the bottom, if you want to upgrade, the task is still very difficult, and now don't look at the rankings, the task of relegation is still not completed, and you still need to continue to work hard.

The players in the team have been paying close attention to the changes in the points of the upstream teams, and seeing that the points of the teams are shrinking with the points of the upstream teams, everyone is happy, and the promotion does not really seem to be a dream.

Although he knew that everyone was paying attention to the standings, Wen Sheng still had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and when he trained the next day, Wen Sheng emphasized the FA Cup, saying that in the 100-year history of Crystal Palace, he has never touched the FA Cup, and we should play this competition as the most important game, if we can bring back the FA Cup, you are all big heroes in the hearts of Crystal Palace fans.

Yes, it is not enough for an "upgraded" carrot to hang on everyone's lips, Wensheng has put the FA Cup on everyone's lips again!

This is for fear that the "donkey" will not die!

Young people especially like to dream, just like Wen Sheng, the team with many young people inevitably likes to dream, there is a kind of newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger's momentum, Crystal Palace this group of players under the guidance of the captain Derry, the inner ghost, has become more and more fond of dreaming.

Under Wen Sheng's blood-boiling flicker, everyone found out that it was right! We're all in the sixth round, why don't we dare to think about it!

There are many debts and no worries, there are more lice and are not afraid of itching, one more dream will not die, everyone thinks that upgrading and the FA Cup is a great achievement, we can blow for a lifetime!

"Our defence was solid and our counter-attacks were fast and sharp! I'm full of confidence to beat Villa and don't forget that we have the fans behind us, we're at home! ”

"I know you're tired! But if you don't experience wind and rain, you will see a rainbow! Now is the time to test our will, what we want is to do it! Have fun! ”

Wensheng's call is sonorous and powerful! The whole team is like a rainbow.
