283. Insomnia

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Crystal Palace president Parrish was a response to the call from the outside world.

"I meet Daniel a lot and we definitely support him! I also know that we have some problems with the depth of the squad at the moment, and if there is a suitable opportunity in the winter window, we will try to strengthen the squad! ”

When winning Manchester United, Parrish and other owners were also quite happy and full of praise for Wen Sheng, but in just two or three days, Crystal Palace lost to the in-form Villa away again, and this defeat brought a lot of touches to Parish.

In the last three games, Bayern Munich lost, Manchester United won, but Villa lost again, outside public opinion has long said that the thickness of Crystal Palace's squad is not good, and Parish finally has to admit that his team is indeed too thin, and Wensheng's transfer fund request is not nonsense.

Of course, because of Villa's game, Parish also strengthened some of his opinions, and a dignified club president actually had such thoughts in his head.

"It's unlikely that Crystal Palace will have the last laugh in the title race!"

"It's very difficult for Daniel to win the championship, my team building idea is right!"

In his eyes, the strategy he advocates is called accumulation, and Wen Sheng's strategy should be called pulling out seedlings to help grow, and the club may be killed by Wen Sheng.

Parish also has an opinion about Wensheng, and he has a relationship with Jordan. Simon has something in common, for example, friends should share weal and sorrow with him, and now Wensheng's friend doesn't seem to be happy to share weal and sorrow with him.

The reason is Wensheng's contract renewal problem, Zahavi has become so annoying now, the renewal price is too high, Parrish is impossible to agree.

Of course, he selectively forgot that he and several partners were dividing the dividends, instead of converting the dividends into registered capital.

It's themselves who are really digging into the wall.

In response to the call from the outside world, Wen Sheng has no special opinion, he feels that the transfer qualification of 15 million pounds is enough to make a difference in the winter window, of course, it is not so easy to choose a good player, and under normal circumstances, the space for big operations in the winter window is relatively small.

A few days later, at the weekend, Crystal Palace hosted their 16th-round opponents, Sky City--- Stoke City.

Last season, Wen Sheng took the initiative to provoke a war and denounced Pulis's football as a representative of rough football, but Prince's style did not change because of his denunciation, and his results in leading the team really hit Wen Sheng's face.

Stoke City were not ranked high last season, but Prince led Stoke City to the FA Cup final before securing their qualification for this year's Europa League, and in midweek he led Stoke City to Besiktas, a game that he lost, but his side had already qualified from the group stage and progressed to the knockout rounds.

At the beginning of the season, many critics thought that Stoke City's multi-front battle would definitely decline, but all this did not happen, with 15 games, 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in the league, accumulating 21 points, ranking 8th, far from Crystal Palace, but the results have completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

The media has always been fickle, and last season many media outlets echoed the likes of Wensheng and Arsene Wenger in shouting at Pulis, and now they are all praising Pulis's stinky feet.

Now that he has won again, Pulis has taken the lead and is not generous.

"I've forgotten the story of last season! I don't have a connection with Wen, and I don't need to hate him for anything! ”

Pulis defended himself at that stage of last season when he was criticised by those around him.

"Stoke City can't compete in the top five anyway, we can't compete with them! Everyone's gameplay is different, they all spend a lot of money! ”

He said a fact, and he was very clear-headed, because Stoke City, because Stoke City, which I brought up, was a relegation team and we couldn't play like the top five teams.

Pulis's defense won him a lot of sympathy, and the harsh public opinion environment gradually changed, and everyone knew the truth as long as they were not stupid, and the criticism against him became less.

Pulis's remarks clearly diverted the subject, and Wen Sheng meant to criticize him for allowing his players to act rough on the pitch and hurt other players, rather than his tactics.

Wen Sheng scoffed at Pulis's defense, but he didn't chase after him, anyway, the purpose of his fuss was only to remind the FA and not the Stoke City boss.

Pulis was avoiding the story between Wensheng and him, and Wensheng also avoided the feud between the two in his pre-match press conference.

"I don't have anything to say!"

The biggest curiosity in the media is whether the managers of the two teams will shake hands before the game.

Wen Sheng shook hands with Pulis, although the smile on his face was embarrassing, but he shook it anyway, and everyone maintained enough gentlemanly demeanor.

But that's about it.

Both sides have had a busy schedule of late, but it is still Crystal Palace who are the more underdogs, and the FA's replay schedule is also quite interesting, with the night of the final round of the Europa League group stage at Stoke City.

Crystal Palace did not take advantage of fitness and Stoke City's final round of the Europa League group stage could not determine whether Stoke City would qualify or win the group.

Stoke City had already secured top spot in the group at the end of the fifth round of the group stage, with Pulis coming off the bench against Besiktas for a league game against Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace's rotation is not like Stoke City, they are full of energy in midweek, they want a win, but the victory is not in hand, and it takes a lot of effort.

Stoke City played well and held Crystal Palace to a 1-1 draw in a high-profile league fixture.

Wen Sheng was very unwilling to this result, but he could only sigh helplessly.

Just seven or eight minutes into the first half, Stoke scored a goal from a corner and Palace then staged a frantic counter-attack, but it was only in stoppage time that N'Golo Kante set up Klose to score the equaliser.

"We're still lacking some luck!" Wen Sheng attributed the result of the game to luck, fortunately, this is the third time in recent times, if there is a fourth estimate, Wen Sheng's rhetoric is afraid it will be very difficult to pass.

On the surface, the two managers seem to be quite generous and don't spit on each other anymore, but both of them actually want to win.

Wen Sheng does not want to lose the top spot in the league after this game, and Prince certainly has a deep hatred for Wen Sheng and hopes that the team can win at Selhurst Stadium.

"We couldn't hold the last few minutes, and I have to say it's a shame! We would have hoped to take the three points here! Prince spoke in his post-match interview with a deep sense of regret.

After this frustrating game, Wen Sheng began to look forward to this round of league games for Manchester City, and he hoped that Mancini's side would lose.

Manchester City face a formidable opponent in this round and will face Arsenal on Monday night, and Arsenal's recent form has been good, and it will not necessarily be easy for City to win against Arsenal.

Wensheng hoped that Wenger could give some help, but Monday's result was not pretty, as Manchester City beat Arsenal 1-0 to reach 41 points, thus overtaking Crystal Palace on 40 points and returning to the top of the table.

Wen Sheng finally had insomnia.

Cheryl's belly was getting bigger, and Wen Sheng kept turning over and waking Cheryl.

"Insomnia?!"

"Hmmm! I can't sleep! ”

"Because of the result of the Manchester City and Arsenal match?!"

"I don't know! I swear I don't have the game on my mind, but I just can't sleep! ”

"So what are you thinking?!" Cheryl asked, stroking Wen Sheng's face.

Wen Sheng was stunned, what do you think?!

He was thinking about his previous life, thinking about his parents in that life, and reminiscing about the happy times in his previous life.

"I'm thinking about the child's name!" Wen Sheng stroked Cheryl's belly.

Cheryl wouldn't believe Wen Sheng's words, in her memory, her lover was a guy who couldn't lose sleep at all, but now he has insomnia, no matter what her mind is thinking, Cheryl feels that it has a lot to do with Crystal Palace's loss of the top position.

"Have you thought about it?!" Cheryl broke the casserole and asked.

Wen Sheng was stunned and smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that I was just talking nonsense just now.

"Nope! I thought about it, let's give you this right! Wen Sheng took Cheryl in his arms and smiled.

"Good ......"
