Chapter 167 Confederations Cup grouping
"Unbelievable victory! Surprisingly wonderful because of unknown young players!"

Sharpe of Sky Sports published an article in which he said that Crystal Palace finally won, and it was an unbelievable victory.Streeter, Russell and Watson are all players in the reserve team and the youth team. Who would have thought that the head coach Wu Haowen would come back with such a non-main lineup!And the opponent is the mighty Liverpool.

"A product produced by the Crystal Palace youth academy, it must be a high-quality product!"

The BBC also broadcast exciting pictures on the news soon.Crystal Palace's long-lost victory was due to the three teenagers trained by the excellent youth training system who played an important role.Without Wu Haowen, Russell, the best player in the game, will continue to stay in the U3 youth team to participate in meaningless games.

Therefore, the head coach Wu Haowen had a discerning eye and led the imprisoned team to rise up and resist, and finally succeeded in breaking out of the abyss of the relegation zone.It seems we've seen Crystal Palace succeed at the end of the season.

It's not just the media that's in disbelief, but the Crystal Palace board as well.

Chairman Parrish rushed to Liverpool overnight by special plane and entertained the lovely heroes at the hotel where he stayed.He raised his glass:

"Thank God! You are heroes tonight! Come on, cheers to our victory! Cheers to our exit from the relegation zone! Cheers to our respected Wu!"

The players are also very happy!Especially tonight's heroes, Russell and Streeter are especially sought after by everyone.

Wu Haowen also enthusiastically greeted everyone and clinked glasses, and then he sat on the sofa alone and began to think about cleaning up the team.

A team without rules cannot continue to win, especially this group of foreigners, who have a very rebellious mentality. If they cannot be tamed, there will be endless troubles.

At the same time, Wu Haowen was more merciful in response to Tomkins' contradictory, and directly put him on the transfer list instead of choosing to hide it for use.

On January 1, FIFA announced the grouping of the 10 Confederations Cup.

As the host country of this Confederations Cup is Australia, as the host country, they successfully advanced to the group stage.Australia, which is also the champion of the Asian Cup, handed over the Asian qualification to the Chinese team.

As the runner-up of the Asian Cup in 2019, the Chinese team entered the Confederations Cup group stage for the first time and was assigned to Group B.Members include Oceania champion New Zealand, European Cup champion France, and South American champion Brazil.

This group should be said to be the group of death without any suspense.Brazil and France are very strong, and New Zealand is weaker, but it is enough for the Chinese team to drink a pot.After all, those who can enter the Confederations Cup are all powerful players.

The Football Association has no substantive requirements for this. After all, it is the first time to enter the Confederations Cup group stage, and it is right to be familiar with the rules.

In the morning of the same day, Wu Haowen held a video conference with BJ's Football Association leaders in London, and discussed some preparations for the Confederations Cup.

Although there is no hard target, the Football Association means to go to Australia earlier to adapt to training, strive for a good result, and use it as a reference for the future trip to the Confederations Cup.

So Wu Haowen held a video conference with the coaching staff of the national team, and asked the assistant coach Madaloni to contact some local training grounds and rent them for a few days to prepare for the national football team that arrived earlier.

After finishing the affairs of the national team, Wu Haowen lay down on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

At this time, Barisic knocked on the door and came in.

"Barisic, I'm glad you came to see me, what's the matter?"

After all, Barisic is the vice-captain of the team, and he can be regarded as a core figure. Wu Haowen guessed that Barisic's coming must have something to do with Tomkins.

Barisic hesitated, but said it anyway.

"Boss, Tomkins didn't mean to contradict, I think he was also anxious about losing, so..."

Wu Haowen smiled slightly, poured him a cup of coffee, and then stopped him from talking, as long as he got the meaning.

"Barisic, I'm very glad that you can tell me your true thoughts, which will make me very happy. However, some things are not as simple as you think."

Barisic looked at Wu Haowen suspiciously.

"What do you think of the current Crystal Palace?" Wu Haowen ignored Barisic's doubts and asked him instead.

"Eh... last night's victory made the players very happy. After all, everyone hasn't won for a long time, and the opponent is still Liverpool." Barisic didn't quite understand what the coach meant, but he still told the players' situation honestly.

"Isn't this great? Do you know why you won this time? Also, do you know why you were not allowed to play in yesterday's game?"

Wu Haowen's words really pierced Barisic's heart.As the vice captain, he is the core of the team.But yesterday's game did not start by himself, nor did he let himself play.

Although he had won the game, he was still a little apprehensive.It feels like I'm not in the head coach's plan.Although Crystal Palace's current ranking in the league is not ideal, at least he is the absolute main force. When he saw Tomkins on the transfer list today, he was a little worried about his future.

Barisic shook his head.

"It's actually very simple to win. I need players who listen to me 100%, I don't need players who have their own ideas. And Tomkins, maybe he has too many ideas, and his ability is limited. I think it will be more beneficial for his career to let him go to a new team."

Wu Haowen was a little surprised and frightened when he saw Barisic's eyes.

"Barisic, don't worry. You are still in my plan. Let's go to European competitions next year! Whether it is the Europa League or the Champions League!"

Barisic couldn't believe his ears, he stared at Wu Haowen with wide eyes.

"Boss, what you said is true? We still have a chance to go to the Europa League?" This is the wish that Barisic dreams about but dare not say!
"Opportunities are earned by yourself. If you can pay attention to collecting my information, you will understand that I am not bragging here. I am the head coach of the team that won the World Club Cup last year. There are still many magical things in me, which you will discover slowly. Now, take a good rest and prepare for the next game!"

After all, Wu Haowen carried forward the spirit of the magic stick and instilled a lot of theories and his own history of fame into Barisic.

Barisic walked out of Haowen Wu's office satisfied, forgetting why he came here.Because compared to those so-called friendships, it is obvious that one's own dreams are more important.

On January 1, return to the home stadium Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace continued to beat Leicester 1-0 under the outstanding performance of rookie Russell.

In this game, the vice-captain Barisic started the game and performed steadily. He continued to play the leading and exemplary role of party members and cadres. Several key balls were handled very successfully, and finally helped Crystal Palace maintain the dominant score until the end.

After two consecutive victories, Crystal Palace has already ranked 15th in the Premier League and is actively climbing forward.

The next morning, Crystal Palace's official website announced that defender Tomkins was transferred to Ligue 475 club Dijon, and the transfer fee was only 7000 million.You know, the fee for Crystal Palace to sign Tomkins was as high as [-] million.

Many fans didn't understand Tomkins' low-priced sale, and they left messages questioning the head coach Wu Haowen's understanding of economics.Subsequently, the official media of Crystal Palace released a message.

"Are you willing to continue to watch us sink, or to watch us advance! Let go of distracting thoughts and continue to win under the leadership of head coach Wu!"

There is no need to say more between the lines.

Wu Haowen brought us victory, do you have a better candidate?
