"Sean, honestly, is this Daniel's idea?!" On the way to the office, Lawrence asked Derry that he always felt that there was a shadow of Wen Sheng in it.

During the two-day holiday, the coaching staff not only discussed and arranged the training plan for the next period, but also discussed the issues that Wen Sheng was thinking about, that is, the league and the FA Cup.

If it is a larger club or a more closely organized club, the general strategy and direction of this kind of season have to be discussed with the top management, but in the case of Crystal Palace, Wen Sheng has enough power to decide.

Wen Sheng made up his mind, saying that he would focus on the league, but in fact, the temptation of the FA Cup was quite great, and Delhi resolutely did not agree to give up the FA Cup.

The FA Cup is the oldest cup competition in England and the world, and it is quite valued by fans of various clubs in England, while Crystal Palace is pressing hard, they have not won a single FA Cup in more than 100 years since they were established, and many teams that are much worse than them have won the FA Cup.

In the 90s, Ian. Wright was still at Crystal Palace, where they reached the FA Cup final that season against Manchester United in a 3-3 draw before a replay, which Palace lost to win the FA Cup, kicking off the Ferguson dynasty for Manchester United.

Imagine what it would be like for Crystal Palace to win the FA Cup now?!

And think about the league, although the draw with Peterborough failed to get three points, but the sixth Leicester's score has not changed, still only 41, only 9 points gap, this temptation is too great, people are really reluctant.

Wen Sheng is troubled by the lineup, the Championship has to play a total of 46 rounds, and the following games will often be played twice a week, and there are not many games left in the FA Cup, but in the intermittent period, it will be fatal for Crystal Palace, who have a thin squad.

Joey always felt a little whimsical when he listened to everyone's debate, and his cousin said all the time that the players couldn't clearly understand their opponents, and now it seems that he himself doesn't he?! Oh, the opponents are all rookies, let you reach the finals! Let you finish in the top six! The game is played one game at a time!

Joey didn't hide it, he said what he thought at the meeting, and made Wensheng and Derry blush, yes, I really treat myself as a green onion, I also think about that, let's play a good game first, let's talk about it step by step, is the team qualified to talk about any strategy?!

And so the discussion about who is in the FA Cup or the league is over.

Lawrence was also involved in the discussion, and of course knew about it, so he asked this question.

"He still wants both! Say use this incentive to motivate everyone! Delhi said, spreading his hands.

"Ho!" Lawrence was stunned.

"Hey, I don't believe you don't want to?!" Delhi didn't think so, even though this was Wen Sheng's head and had some ideas, but who wouldn't want to?! I want to do both.

"I'm afraid these boys won't be able to withstand the pressure!" Lawrence thinks.

…..

This agitation plan was discussed privately by Wen Sheng with Delhi, and he felt that he was not suitable for this kind of goal in front of the players, because it would become the pressure that he as the head coach would bring to the players, but Delhi brought it up, and the effect was completely different, which was the goal set by the players themselves.

The motivation to pursue this goal will certainly be much higher.

This is psychology, Wen Sheng participated in the coaching course, and he also had a lot of knowledge about coaching in his previous life.

Wen Sheng didn't ask Delhi to implement it today, but just wanted Delhi to bring it up at a suitable time, and Delhi sent him good news so quickly, and he was very satisfied.

Lawrence worries that the pressure is too much.

Wen Sheng said: "Actually, what Joey said that day made sense, but when I think about it, I think it's completely correct for us to set a goal and direction, and even say that it is quite necessary!" ”

"For now, I don't think the task of relegation is too heavy! The more you get to the back, the more the relegation situation will be clear! Matt, I ask you, do you think it's possible for the team to slack off when the relegation situation is clear?! ”

The answer is, of course, yes, by the end of the season, the relegation situation and the promotion situation will be clear, the team that is not up and down is prone to slackness, the season is too long, the personnel are too tired, the task is completed, the human psychology will be relaxed, and it is impossible for everyone in a team to be so committed to the game.

"This team is going to be our squad for next season, they're young, they haven't experienced setbacks, I don't think it's a good idea for them to relax!"

Wen Sheng's explanation made sense, Lawrence was completely taught, and he had to admit that Wen Sheng was right.

"Setting up a seemingly difficult task helps them improve their concentration, whether it's on the training pitch or in a game, and the workout they get is much more productive!"

An explanation made Derry and Lawrence admire, and they all patted Wensheng's sycophants.

"You guys, it's just "no learning and no skill"! Wen Sheng scolded with a smile, "If you want to embark on the road of professional coaching in the future, psychology is essential, if the team wants to be successful, there are many factors that affect it, and being a head coach must be more than just a simple matter of knowing tactics and commanding on the spot!" In fact, management is the most important thing! If we want to be successful, we have to bring out the best in each and every one of our members! ”

"Even you are the target of my encouragement!" Wen Sheng blinked mischievously.

The two old guys couldn't help but laugh, this kid is so young and knows so much?!

High school students may not know so much, but Wen Sheng is different, in the original world, he was originally a cheerful person, good at dealing with classmates, and was appointed as a life committee, and in the era of information explosion, he must pay more attention to this aspect if he is determined to be a coach, and he has read many autobiographies of players and coaches.

……

Crystal Palace want to upgrade, and the first opponent in the path of stepping on the opponent is Scunthorpe.

Scunthorpe have been around for 100 years, but they have been in the lower leagues for a long time, only to be promoted to the Championship in 06-07, relegated back to League One the following season, and promoted to the Championship from the League One promotion play-offs this season.

The strength is relatively weak.

However, at the moment, they are on the same level as Crystal Palace, only two points behind Crystal Palace, and everyone has not succeeded in relegation, so Scanthorpe naturally has to do his best on his home turf.

The game was played very closely, and they found the right way for Crystal Palace, and their manager Nigel. Addigins has been in charge of the team for several years, and it was he who led the team to promotion, relegation and promotion.

Crystal Palace have been in excellent form recently, and Addigins has learned to put a bus on his home turf, anyway, he has set his team's position quite accurately, anyway, he is a weak team, I will defend.

In just a few days, it was impossible for Crystal Palace to attack to get a qualitative improvement, so Wen Sheng did not dare to be careless, and adopted the same tactics as in the second half against Peterborough, reducing possession, attacking directly, and giving priority to ensuring defense.

The two teams are not controlling, and there are many similarities in the style of play, so the field looks all-British, with a lot of long passes, but the level is still limited, and there are more mistakes.

But luck was on Palace's side today, and in the 45th minute of the first half, Scannel tripped an opposition player when he dribbled into the box, and the referee awarded Palace a penalty, which Vardy converted to give his team the lead.

In the second half, Scunthorp continued to play cautiously, presumably trying to wait for the Palace players to get tired before making an impact.

The shortcomings of Scunthorpe's team are actually unreliable defensively and not bad offensively, but today Addigins changed his usual style of play and gave a lot less support to the forwards, resulting in their attack not being smooth.

Later, Scanthorpe's efforts brought a lot of pressure to Crystal Palace, but soon Scannell received an assist from Vardy in the counter-attack, and the next goal ended the suspense.

2-0, it was a tough process, but the ending was happy, and Crystal Palace got three points away.
