Chapter 180 M23 Derby Battle
April 4, Manchester City Stadium.

The focus of the Premier League battle, the match between Crystal Palace and Manchester City is about to begin.

This game is not included in the live broadcast plan of the Premier League, but there are still many self-media broadcast live broadcasts through various means, including many domestic live broadcast platforms.

After all, this game was called by the domestic media as the strongest coach in China against the strongest coach in the world.The degree of attention is evident.

When the starting lineup came out, some professional football commentators noticed something different.

The famous Premier League football commentator Yan Qiang said:
"After playing so many games in the Premier League, coach Wu Haowen finally changed his formation. You must know that when he was coaching the national team and Kang Hui, his formation was different in almost every game. At that time, Coach Wu was dubbed a tactical master by fans and friends. I think tonight's game is worth learning from many people."

Since Wu Haowen coached Crystal Palace, he has basically followed a set of tactics to the end and rarely used changes.Today's game against Manchester City, many people saw the difference.

As for the difference, it is really hard to say clearly.

It wasn't until after the game started that some football coaches discovered that Crystal Palace's defense had two more players.

Yes.

The previous 4-2-3-1 tactic, with 4 defenders plus a defensive midfielder, can basically guarantee that the Crystal Palace's defense is at least safe.But in the game against Manchester City, no matter how Wu Haowen arranged his troops, there was no good effect.

So early this morning, when Wu Haowen considered changing his tactics, the situation changed.

Can win!
从4+1的防守球员变成4+2，同时将进攻型中场球员换成组织型中场。这样的话，战术就变成了4-3-2-1。

Don't underestimate this little change.This puts higher demands on the organizational midfielder.

Although he is an organizational midfielder, he still tends to focus on defense against Cosmos Manchester City.Wu Haowen thought for a long time, and finally decided to take the risk of using young player Watson.Although he mainly plays a defensive midfielder, after several months of training, Wu Haowen knows that this player is better qualified for this position.

The shift really paid off.

瓜迪奥拉本场比赛排出的阵型是4-1-4-1，虽说是4后卫加1防守型中场，但曼城组织型中场2名球员，进攻端等于是和吴豪文的战术是一样的。单一前锋加上两名边翼。

Therefore, the focus of the contest is on the midfield.

Under Gua Shuai's pass and control style of play, Manchester City's overall offensive end is smooth and smooth, and the cooperation is very tacit.In particular, Mateo Kovacic's skills are outstanding, and many key passes are completed by him.

Or under Guashuai's tactics, the requirements for players with outstanding skills are relatively high, but after all, there is only one Messi.Manchester City's possession and passing are very advantageous, but they cannot convert their advantages into goals.

On the contrary, Crystal Palace, which is generally not optimistic, has withstood Manchester City's offense time and time again on the shaky defensive end, which has caught many people's eyes.

It turns out that this group of ordinary people with mediocre qualifications actually sometimes form an impregnable fortress.

Just when everyone thought the game would end in a 0:0 draw, Crystal Palace completed the lore in stoppage time.

In the 92nd minute of the game, Crystal Palace goalkeeper Strebinger drove forward.Albino received the pass from the right and headed it to the central team, Strait.

As a key object of care, when Streeter took the ball, he immediately attracted the attention of Manchester City's defense.Varane and Kieran Tierney immediately formed a pincer front and back, and Fernandinho on the right side of Streeter made Streeter very passive.

Perhaps sensing the call of his teammates, Streeter pushed the ball into the penalty area in front of the left without warning.There are no players in the penalty area at this time.

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson abandoned the goal and ran towards the ball.Just as he was running and observing the positions of his teammates on the field, a yellow color suddenly appeared in his eyes.

It turned out to be the opponent's midfielder Watson, and he was very fast.Throwing away the defensive players around him, he was running towards the ball.

This is a contest of speed.Edson hurriedly accelerated, and even regretted that he was careless and shouldn't be jogging.Now it seems that it is a bit hanging to get the ball before Watson.

Sure enough, Watson touched the ball first.

Ederson had no choice but to slow down and spread his arms to expand the defensive range.But Watson seemed to see Edson's intentions. Before the opponent's speed had fully slowed down, he scored the ball to the right, and then pushed with his right foot to send the ball into the right net.

At this moment, Edson barely stopped in the middle left of the goal.

No one expected that Manchester City accidentally missed Jingzhou at the last moment and missed the chance to score.In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Cosmic Manchester City for the first time at the Manchester City Stadium.

You know, since Gua Shuai became the head coach of Manchester City, there are really only a handful of strong teams that can beat Manchester City, let alone a team with a role like Crystal Palace.

But today, the Crystal Palace people did it.

After the game, the whole team was celebrating the victory, because this victory allowed Crystal Palace to ensure the qualification to participate in the Europa League next season. This is a major event that has never happened in the history of Crystal Palace.

On the same day, Chairman Parrish called to congratulate Wu Haowen and the team members.But at the same time, it made Wu Haowen ready to meet the next opponent.Because this is more important to Crystal Palace than participating in the Europa League.

This made Wu Haowen confused.

The next game is Brighton, only ranked 14th in the Premier League, how important can it be?
Later, it was assistant coach Levington who explained to Wu Haowen before he understood.

One is located in Brighton and the other is located in South London. The two teams are not in the same city, nor are they close geographically, but they are a pair of famous rivals in English football.The duel between the two teams is known as the "M23 Derby", named after a motorway from Sussex to South London.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the grievances between the two teams stem from the two head coaches who coached their team a long, long time ago.Because of their grievances, the two teams are in the same situation, and it has continued to this day.

Of course, it was mainly in the previous series of games that the two teams played against each other and each humiliated the other.Therefore, it doesn't matter even if you are relegated, but you must win against your mortal enemy!
After hearing this, Wu Haowen really had a look of disbelief.Foreigners are so funny, isn't it normal to have a competition? As for chattering and arguing about ordering old sesame seeds and rotten millet?

Things are far from simple.

The next morning, the media suddenly forwarded the tweets of several former meritorious players from Crystal Palace and Brighton, and the meaning was very clear. In the competition on May 5st, even if the head is broken, you must win to the end!

This made Wu Haowen feel a little uncomfortable.Tema's, Lao Tzu is the head coach.I have the final say on how to play tomorrow's game.What fart do you former players do?If you have the ability to kick yourself.

When he walked to the training ground, he was stunned.Originally supposed to be resting today, several players are already doing simple training on the training ground.

And after they saw Wu Haowen, they all said, 'Boss, next game against damn Brighton, you must let me play'...

Wu Haowen thought silently for a while: "Damn, I have never seen you so active in the relegation battle and against Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea! Just one f---ing Brighton has made you all bloody!"

The development of the situation has increasingly exceeded Wu Haowen's expectations.More and more players took the initiative to challenge Wu Haowen to make a statement.

On April 4, Wu Haowen refused to attend the pre-match press conference.Chairman Parrish seemed to feel Wu Haowen's anger, and had no choice but to let assistant coach Levington attend. At the same time, he also took the initiative to talk to Wu Haowen about the importance of the M30 derby.

After talking for a long time, Wu Haowen only replied to him:
"Could it be that Brighton is better than Manchester City? Wouldn't it be enough to win him? Why are there so many things?"
