Chapter 190 Europa League Grouping

On August 8, UEFA drew lots and announced the grouping situation of the Europa League group stage this season.Among them, Crystal Palace represented the Premier League and was divided into one of the No. 27 seeded teams, and was finally assigned to Group L. The members of the same group included the Ligue 3 powerhouse Marseille, the Russian Super League powerhouse Lokomotiv Moscow and the Portuguese Super League Guimarães Victory.

That evening, at Selhurst Park, a press conference was held.Tomorrow is the fifth round of the Premier League against Liverpool, so there will be more reporters that night.

This is the first time in the history of the Crystal Palace team to enter the European competition, and the specifications of the press conference that night are also relatively high.First, Alexander, the executive director of Crystal Palace, delivered an impassioned speech, highly praising the new look of the team under the coach of Wu Haowen.At the same time, on behalf of the board of directors, he fully supported Wu Haowen and gave Wu Haowen's coaching team a valuable winning bonus.

Naturally, this is all foreplay.But it can also be seen from these details that Crystal Palace has set a precedent, which is the trust and support for Wu Haowen's coaching team.

At the press conference later, the reporters also focused on related events.

John Stone of Football Magazine asked: "This is the first Europa League in the history of Crystal Palace, and it happens to be the first Europa League in your coaching career. What do you think of this? Are you satisfied with the result of this draw?"

The Europa League is different from the AFC Cup, and countries still attach great importance to it.Especially after the restructuring, the Europa League champions will enter the Champions League next season, so the attention is even higher.

Apparently the reporters thought this was the first time a rookie coach brought a rookie team to Europa for practice, so the results are naturally to be taken lightly.

"In my impression, many excellent coaches succeeded in their first season in charge. For example, Mourinho, such as Dibateo. So nothing is impossible. Besides, no matter what the grouping is, the teams that can enter the Europa League are all strong teams from various countries. We must deal with the game with 100% fighting spirit. I think if we are hard enough, we can go further."

Johnstone continued to ask: "This season's Premier League includes Tottenham, Everton and your Crystal Palace. Do you think it is very likely for the English team to win the championship?"

This time, Wu Haowen was no longer modest.

"Any one of us has a chance to win the championship. I think it is more likely. You know, we have been busy with reinforcements for this season throughout the offseason, so everyone wait and see how we perform."

BBC reporter Smith asked: "In the last game against Liverpool, your change of formation gave the opponent a heavy blow. But this time, coach Klopp has completely understood you. Will you catch the opponent by surprise in tomorrow's game?"

Wu Haowen thought for a while, then replied with a smile:

"Jurgen Klopp is a well-known excellent coach in the football circle, so whether there is a change in tactics, it is not a problem for Jurgen. Tomorrow's tactics may be adjusted, depending on the specific state of the players. I prefer to formulate tactics according to the state of the players. So everyone, try it out tomorrow!"

……

After the press conference that day, Wu Haowen returned to his apartment in downtown London.At this time, Wang Zi also received the notice and was waiting for Wu Haowen's return at his home.Yao Yueru bought some vegetables in the supermarket and was washing them in the kitchen, waiting for Wu Haowen to cook them.

"How is it? I can't handle it right now. You can start taking over the teaching assistant job tomorrow. If you are in doubt, you should discuss it with me before making a decision. Give you some time to slowly integrate, I think you are almost ready to become a teacher!"

At this time, Yao Yueru came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes and summoned Wu Haowen to take the spoon.

"Hmph! I don't even know who taught it. It must be a teacher, and the level is very good! These days, he is thrown into the crowd of foreigners, and he learns very quickly!"

Wu Haowen gave her an angry look: "I hope so!"

Just go cook!Miss Yao Yueru is already very good at fighting now.When I first came to London, I basically went to restaurants every day, but I couldn’t bear to eat and drink like this, and every day Western food was prone to stomach discomfort, so I bought pots and pans and started cooking by myself.

Not to mention, Chinese food is still delicious!

……

On August 8, the Selhurst Park Stadium was crowded with people.

Can't remember how many times it was full.The box office had been listed as 'sold out' a few days earlier.The booming football market has brought huge income to the team. Harris, the business director, has a red face recently and speaks with confidence.It was even prepared to propose that the board expand the stadium.

You know, when Wu Haowen first entered the Crystal Palace, its financial deficit was a staggering 2.8 million, and it almost failed to pass UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act.Thanks to Wu Haowen's control over player transfer fees and salaries, plus some commercial income and live broadcast income, Crystal Palace has improved.

Recently, Adams and fan spokesman Robinson often walked around, because of the previous conflicts, he had a deep understanding of Wu Haowen.From an opposition to an out-and-out supporter, now he even doubts whether he is a supporter of Crystal Palace or a supporter of Wu Haowen.

who cares!Who made the Crystal Palace so powerful now!

The ranking of the league made the fans happy and made the football market more popular.Today's game against Liverpool will be the beginning of this season's hot market.

本场比赛克洛普教练排出了4-1-2-3防中场的战术，而吴豪文这一次则选择了球员们比较熟悉的4-2-3-1战术。

In essence, there is not much difference between the two sets of tactics. The difference is that Liverpool's tactics tend to focus on the midfield and backcourt, while Crystal Palace's tactics tend to focus on the offensive end of the frontcourt instead.

Many Premier League experts have seen the clues.Coach Klopp chose a cautious defensive formation?It makes them feel weird.We played against each other once last season, and Liverpool lost, but we shouldn't take the initiative to defend!
If these experts are combined with Crystal Palace's 21 consecutive victories, they will probably understand!This has already broken the winning streak record of the Premier League. Judging from the current momentum, it seems that there is no intention of stopping.

Although coach Klopp knows that his team is better, he knows.Against Wu Haowen, it is more about patience than rushing to attack.

The game in the first half is also the focus of the game between the two sides, you come and go.Neither side got any benefit, which caused many viewers in the live broadcast room to have the illusion that the game would end in a draw.

But soon, the audience saw the goal they were looking forward to.

In the 21st minute, Liverpool's Robertson threw a throw-in to his teammate Firmino who came to greet him.Fagner of the Crystal Palace immediately followed. Firmino saw that the opportunity was not good, and took advantage of Robertson's opportunity to run past him, and immediately passed the ball back to him.

Robertson gets the ball and goes forward along the left touchline.Quickly got rid of the two Crystal Palace defenders, came to the corner flag on the left, and immediately passed to the penalty area in front of the goal.This gave Liverpool fans a glimmer of hope.

At this moment Liverpool's Weigl is already in position in front of the goal, waiting for the ball to come over.

It's a pity that the pass was a bit low, and it was pushed out by Russell's header on the side of the near post, ruining the attack.

After Zheng Fengwei got the ball, he drove to the right side of the front court with his big feet. Streeter quickly chased the ball and took the ball to attack forward.Gomez, who was marking Streeter, followed Streeter closely all the time. When he ran into the penalty area on the right, he suddenly slipped and fell!A rare opportunity, Strait immediately kicked the ball to the left and made a cross.

Meyer, who was in the penalty area in front of the goal, rubbed his head and the ball was pushed into the left net.Crystal Palace scored! 1:0 to take the lead!

It was thought that the goal in the first half was over, but Meyer refused.

In the 35th minute, Crystal Palace took a corner kick from the left.Watson kicked the ball and flew towards the near post.Meyer in front of the goal has a very strong sense of holding the ball, and he directly greeted him from the small penalty area.A vertical rise near the sideline of the small penalty area and a header to the right goal.

Liverpool's goalkeeper Becker reacted, but failed to touch the ball.

Crystal Palace ended the first half 2:0.

This result was very unexpected and surprising!It seems that the weak team no longer belongs to Crystal Palace!
