The game will start at 4pm, but there are more and more fans around Wembley, and the FA Cup final is a major event in English football, and fans from not only the two clubs, but also many onlookers will be interested.

The players sat on the bus, and the bus slowly moved forward, passing by a crowd of fans, both Crystal Palace and Portsmouth, and neutral fans were not absent, but they were rare.

Looking at the fans outside the window, Wen Sheng seemed to be in high spirits, who would have thought that after almost a year, he would actually lead Crystal Palace to the FA Cup final, how can this not be proud.

"Actually, fuck, I've done enough well!" He comforted himself.

Wen Sheng was the last to get off the bus, and there were already many fans and media gathered there in the player's entrance passage, and some of the players who got off the bus paused to take photos with the fans.

Wen Sheng got out of the car, causing cheers from the media and fans.

He declined to be interviewed by the media, and they caught himself and turned over and over again after all, it's all about tactics, right...... The Buddha said that it cannot be said.

However, a few fans wearing Crystal Palace's red and blue jerseys got the opportunity to take photos with Wen Sheng.

Seeing that Wen Sheng's expression was more relaxed, one of the fat aunt fans asked Wen Sheng's team if they could win the championship?!

"Why not?!" Wen Sheng responded with a smile, "But we need your support!" Be louder cheering! ”

Leaving this group of fans, Wen Sheng felt as if he was in a very good mood, and couldn't help humming a nunchuck in his mouth, the key was not in tune, and the words were awkward.

"Use nunchucks, hum haha, hey, hit Pompeii all over the ground looking for teeth!"

Pompeii is the nickname of Portsmouth.

……

In Wembley's box, Steve. Parrish hypocritically deserved the guests around him, and he looked up at his watch, and his heart beat even harder with only ten minutes before the start of the game.

Before, as a pure fan, he didn't feel this kind of excitement, but as the new chairman, the new owner of the club, it was a completely different feeling.

"Let's go, let's go outside!" Vane patted Parish on the shoulder.

Seeing that Parrish was a little nervous, Vane didn't give any comfort, he was also nervous, but he couldn't see through it at a glance like Parish.

Every year in the FA Cup, the royal family is always indispensable, and Prince William is the honorary president of the FA.

After the two teams lined up on the pitch, Prince William came to the pitch to shake hands with them. Smith sings the national anthem and the pre-game ceremony ends.

The main whistle for this game is Chris. Foy, his age is not small, he is 47 years old this year, but he is more experienced, overall, his reputation is good, much stronger than the later "Magical Four Blinds", today the Magical Four Blinds are also involved in this game, one of the Four Blinds, Clattenberg is the fourth official.

The FA Cup final is more important, and there are many prominent figures to watch, which feels much more formal, and Wen Sheng is as good as a stream, wearing a crisp suit like the semi-final, with a white shirt and leather shoes, but no tie, slightly more formal.

Coincidentally, Grant on the opposite side is dressed almost exactly the same as him, and he has no tie for a tacit understanding, and the greetings between the two of them before the game today are very ordinary and ordinary, but Wen Sheng feels that Grant is very depressed, and he doesn't know if the dark circles under his eyes are older or he has been anxious recently.

There really isn't much time left for Grant to prove himself, he is an outsider, and it is difficult for him to establish himself in English football. Wen Sheng can imagine how hungry Grant is for this title, but what about the Portsmouth players, no one can guess what they will think, it's hard to say.

Judging by the semi-final match, Portsmouth had some luck.

Of course, if you look at it the same way, Crystal Palace had good luck in the semi-finals.

Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines with his hands crossed, waiting for the whistle to start, and he didn't say much in the locker room today.

"Don't say much, just play, just do it!" It was the only thing he said to his players other than tactical commands.

Sometimes it may not be interesting to say too much, after experiencing the Chelsea game, Wen Sheng can clearly feel that the team's psychological quality is increasing, plus the stimulation of bonuses, maybe he really doesn't need to stimulate everyone more.

Foy's whistle blew and the game officially began.

Grant's Portsmouth formation is 442.

Goalkeeper: James

Defenders: Finnan, Mokona, Rocha, Mullins

Midfielders: O'Hara, Diop, Michael. Brown, Boateng

Forwards: Tindane, Picioni

On the crystal side, it's still 433.

Goalkeeper: Speroni

Guards: Klein, Lawrence, McCarthy, Sears

Midfielders: Derry, N'Golo Kante, Ndiaye

Forwards: Zaha, Vardy, Scanner

Crystal Palace's starters are generally easy to guess by opponents, and in the case of relatively neat personnel, Wen Sheng must be those players in the big game, except for Zaha's position, the other positions are fixed.

But Zaha is often a variable, judging from Zaha's habits, he is a man who needs free space, and when he is on the pitch, Palace is more likely to play defensive counter-attacks than positional battles, and of course Zaha can also be given the task of opening up the opponent's defense when he is in positional battles.

Grant was not surprised to see Crystal Palace's start, he knew that there were not many opponents available, and Zaha did perform well, but Grant felt that because he was a homegrown youngster, England was inevitably suspected of touting Zaha.

Don't say that Grant thinks so, even Wen Sheng thinks so, Zaha's growth is far from reaching the level of later generations, and now he is mostly substituted in the team, how can he be so god as the media boasts, of course, sometimes I have to say that Zaha is very critical to the team, and the performance in several key games is really not bad, very good.

After the start, players on both sides played very carefully, Crystal Palace was clearly defending with a weak posture, the top of the midfield was N'Golo Kante, he was only in the middle circle, and Portsmouth did not dare to let go of the courage to attack, they mainly used long passes, cautious temptation.

"Watch the location!"

Wen Sheng, as always, gestured on the sidelines, yelling, and reminded the players to pay attention at all times.

The players didn't make mistakes, there were no problems, and Wen Sheng's "performance" on the sidelines was more like his habit.

The players looked a lot more confident today than they did against Chelsea.

Wen Sheng couldn't figure out what Grant's tactical intentions were.

Portsmouth's unfortunate thing is that they have injuries up front today, and Grant can only send two strikers, Tindane and Piquioni, these two strikers have two things in common, one is that they are on loan, and the other is that the goal efficiency is really poor.

Picioni is a high school striker on loan from Lyon, who is almost 31 years old and only scored two goals in the whole season of Lyon last season, and his arrival at Portsmouth is a bit like Warnock was forced to choose Stern. John almost.

Piquioni is also a substitute in Portsmouth, and there is only one goal, his body looks good, but this is the Premier League, physical confrontation is a compulsory course for every player, he can't eat in Ligue 1, and he can't easily mix in England.

Tindane's second striker position, running is not good, Piquioni plays center, confrontation is not good, but Grant frequently uses long passes to impact, plays diamond-shaped midfielder, and the wingback assists can't go up, so Wen Sheng can't figure out what he wants to do.

The outside world is disturbed, and the gods from all walks of life have a lot of speculation about the tactics of Crystal Palace, but Grant's head is very sober, judging from Wen Sheng's personal style, Grant feels that Wen Sheng is an out-and-out conservative, and Nottingham Forest's game does not have much reference value.

In such an important game, Grant believes that Wensheng will first consolidate his defense, and Crystal Palace seems to be weak, but in fact it cannot be underestimated, and the teams that can handle Villa, Wolves, and Chelsea cannot be underestimated.

So Grant's tactics are very simple, he just simplifies the complex, focuses on defense, it doesn't matter if the style of play is rough, Crystal Palace's defense can't be perfect, his team only has a few shots on goal.

In fact, his tactics are to grind until victory, which is similar to Wensheng against Barnsley against Newcastle.
