The adventurous choice in the second half was quite good, and it consumed a lot of physical energy on the Chelsea side, otherwise it was really difficult to say how things would develop, and the defensive state displayed on the defensive line made Wen Sheng feel reassured.

I have to say that now with the muscles of their own team, even Chelsea is cautious, not as floating as before, at least in defense more concerned about Crystal Palace, the team really does not have too many absolute opportunities.

Wen Sheng is not very worried about his team, how many teams like Chelsea can there be?! Second, if the players are more and more experienced, then the offense will be more powerful.

After watching the video that night, Wen Sheng got up and went to sleep.

Anyway, the eyes are on the Europa League.

A few days later, the Crystal Palace travelled to Braga, Portugal.

Braga is located in the north of Portugal, the city is not big, it seems very quiet, Wensheng and they arrived in Braga, but also took a walk before dinner, and walked around the city scenery collectively.

According to what Wen Sheng said on the plane, it is everyone's blessing to have a European war, and you can travel without spending your own money, if you want to let you pay for it yourself, you are afraid that you are not willing to come to Braga.

Wen Sheng's joke caused everyone to laugh.

Morelli, the general manager of the plane, took the lead in joking: "I agree with Daniel's statement anyway!" If it weren't for the public expense, I wouldn't have chosen to travel here! ”

There's really nothing to do in Braga, and going out for a walk together is more like getting off the plane to adjust your physical and mental state.

is dressed in casual clothes, but it will not be easy to be recognized by the local people, otherwise what if the local fans don't like it and beat people?!

Well, this possibility is almost impossible, Wen Sheng doesn't think it will be dangerous anyway.

The team has a group of young and vigorous gentlemen, and it is estimated that there are not a few unsightly gangsters who come to find trouble.

The next day, the Braga Municipal Stadium was packed with Braga fans, the stadium only has two stands in the north and south, and the capacity is only about 30,000, and the fans of Crystal Palace are assigned to a corner of the north stand, and there are still a lot of people, basically full.

Originally built for Euro 2004, the stadium sits on the slopes of Castro, with an almost cliff face on one side of the stands.

It's very unique, it's a little small, but the stadium is very well equipped, with a total of 30,154 seats, 352 toilets, 20 bars, and 4 emergency centers. The 270-square-meter screen is the largest in Europe.

When everyone came to the stadium in the morning, they felt the unique charm of this stadium, and Wen Sheng also felt that it should be a more interesting thing to play here.

Crystal Palace are making history in the Europa League for the first time this season, and this is also their first meeting with a Portuguese side on European stage.

Wen Sheng is not uninterested in the Europa League, although he talks about the championship is just talking.

In the current situation, the fight for fourth place is definitely heavier than the Europa League.

Now that the Europa League winners have not qualified for the Champions League, Wen Sheng feels that next season's Champions League is more attractive, not to mention that even the club's top management will definitely be willing to focus on the league.

So......

In this game, Wensheng took a big rotation again, Oneneu and Van Dijk partnered to form a defensive twin tower combination, McCarthy could not rest, continued to use him to play left wingback, and Morgan could not rest, let him play right wingback, so that Benatia and Klein could slow down.

It is also said that Wen Sheng actually posed as a 4 center-back combination in this game.

Nemanja Matic, Ndiaye and Stroman were partnered in midfield, while Klose, Smith and Scannell were partnered up front.

This person has almost changed once, and Wen Sheng pinned his hopes on whom.

Klose and Stroman, it's really not good, at least a draw here.

Braga's head coach Dominguez. Paciencia, a former Portuguese international who has been playing for giants Porto for a long time, should have led Braga to this season's Europa League final this season and met Porto, but now he must get past the victory first.

To be honest, Crystal Palace's well-known young coach in Europe sent a four-centre-back formation, which surprised Dominguez, but he could also think about it and think clearly, combined with Crystal Palace's ranking in the league, he could easily guess the opponent's mind, nothing more than not wanting to use much effort away from home, and still have to save his energy for the league.

Alas, this is the common problem of those first-class league teams, they don't pay much attention to this Europa League, Wensheng is not still young, don't you want the Europa League to be actually quite good! Domingos couldn't guess Wen Sheng's thoughts anyway.

It's a good thing for Dominguez that Crystal Palace put on the bench like this, they don't want to qualify, they look down on the Europa League, we can afford it!

If Wen Sheng knew Domingos' thoughts, he would definitely scold him, "Who said I don't care about this game?!" I want to win the championship, I want to advance, but I can't help it! ”

Wen Sheng still made careful arrangements for this game, first of all, it must be a solid defense, second, to control, and third, to fight positional warfare.

This tactical arrangement is not the same as the team's daily operation, usually he emphasizes the control of the back court and also pays attention to the control of the front court, but in this game he asked to pay attention to the control of the whole court, and what he did was to spend a little more time.

After the start, the two sides were cautious and tentative, and both teams probably saw each other's game highlights and similar things, but this was the first time they met, and no one dared to be careless in this kind of knockout game.

As for Crystal Palace, it was a defensive posture from the start.

Braga controlled the ball and did not dare to let go of the courage to attack.

The game was always in a dreary atmosphere, but the fans in the stadium were probably a little more passionate than the players on the pitch.

The first half was spent in such a tepid manner, with Braga not playing as well as Crystal Palace.

At home they were a little more proactive, but Palace defended solidly.

But when Crystal Palace was attacking, Stroman's long pass scheduling, as well as Klose's ability to control the ball in the front court were really good, and he was more threatening to handle the ball several times, which made Crystal Palace form a good opportunity, but unfortunately Scannell and Smith did not take advantage of the two excellent opportunities.

Dominguez played very depressed, in fact, Wensheng wanted his team to have a little more possession, but Braga had more control in the first half, but they played an attacking frustration, Domingos originally thought that the formation of four centre-backs would make them have problems in the filling position or defending on the wing, who knows if they are stable.

His team didn't get any chances!

There were also a lot of English media reporters watching the game, and they originally planned to go back and concoct an article to criticize Wensheng's odd formation of 4 central defenders, who knew that they really played well in the first half, which made them lose material.

In the second half, Dominguez allowed Braga to step up their attacks, and the pressure on Crystal Palace increased sharply, and just when Braga were about to score for themselves, who knew they were too presumptuous and carried away, and as a result, Crystal Palace's housekeeping skills on the counter-attack came into play.

In a classic counter-attack, Klose's drop-back fulcrum was brilliant and he then rushed to the box to receive Smith's inverted triangle pass to open the door for Crystal Palace.

When they conceded the goal, Dominguez wanted to say bad, forget about their skills!

However, this kind of thing can't really be too absolute, Braga attacked too hard, the formation has been maintained very well, Crystal Palace has not been able to touch the ball for a long time, and after a long time, the main attacker's defense may inevitably produce a lax mentality.

Wen Sheng happily hugged Lawrence.

It would be wonderful to advance in this way.
