Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 254 Looks like a Master
Seeing that the score on the field fell behind again, Mourinho suddenly had an impulse in his heart. He wanted to change Chelsea's formation back to 433.

Because, now that the Crystal Palace has changed to 352, full-backs are no longer set up. The defense of the wing is the natural weakness of this formation.

If Chelsea changes back to 433 at this time and uses two wingers to attack the side of Crystal Palace, I believe it will definitely achieve good results.

However, once it is changed back to 433, what will Shevchenko do?
After trial and error, it has been proved that Shevchenko is really not suitable for the three forward tactics.

But he just scored a goal in the first half of the game, should he be replaced like this?

For a while, Mourinho was also caught in a dilemma.

He is hesitating, and the Crystal Palace players on the field will not stop and wait for him.

Just 5 minutes after the goal, Ronaldo successfully broke through from the left again. He wanted to repeat the operation of assisting Ibrahimovic in the first half, and once again sent a through ball to the center.

Ibrahimovic, who cooperated with Ronaldo's through ball to counter offside, got another chance for a single goal.

This time, Ibrahimovic turned sideways, opened his right foot, and used the inner instep to loop the ball.

The ball drew a wonderful arc and flew towards the upper right corner of Chelsea's goal.

Chelsea's goalkeeper Cudicini flew up again, this time he was lucky, holding the ball over the crossbar with one hand, and saved the day.

Seeing that he almost conceded another goal, Mourinho didn't dare to hesitate any longer.

He immediately turned around and called the team's right winger Wright Phillips from the bench, and drove him to warm up.

The movement on Mourinho's side immediately alarmed Guardiola, who had been paying attention to Chelsea's bench.

"Boss, Mourinho seems to want to change his tactics. He sent Wright Phillips, who plays right winger, to warm up."

Hearing Guardiola's reminder, Chen Ran immediately turned to look at Chelsea's bench.

Really Wright. Phillips, is Mourinho trying to change Chelsea's formation back to 433?
Because the thin and short Wright Phillips has too many flaws in other positions besides playing as a winger, Mourinho should not be so stupid.

But once the formation changes to 433, what will Shevchenko do?He is not suitable for a three-forward formation. Does Mourinho want to replace Shevchenko with Wright Phillips?

Although he just turned his head and took a look, in Chen Ran's mind, he had roughly analyzed the actions that Mourinho would take.

"Josep, you tell Alves to warm up, replace Toni with him later, and then change the formation to 4231. It seems that Mourinho intends to change the formation back to 433, we must increase the defensive strength on the wing .”

"Understood, boss."

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Chelsea replaced Shevchenko with Wright Phillips.

Seeing Shevchenko's astonished expression immediately attracted various speculations.

"It's very clear from the camera that Andriy Shevchenko is clearly puzzled by the fact that he's been substituted."

"Replacing Shevchenko with Wright Phillips, it seems that Mourinho wants to change the formation back to his best 433."

"Crystal Palace's current formation is 352. The wing defense is the biggest weakness of this formation. It seems that Chelsea's coach Mourinho wants to target this weakness of Crystal Palace."

"Eh? Crystal Palace's bench is also active now."

"The one who got up to warm up was Crystal Palace's substitute right-back Alves."

"It seems that Chen Ran, the head coach of Crystal Palace, also saw what Mourinho wanted to do, and immediately made very targeted adjustments."

"In this game, not only the players played wonderfully on the field, but also the wits and courage of the two head coaches off the field are amazing."

Just a few minutes after Chelsea replaced Shevchenko with Wright Phillips and changed to 433, Crystal Palace immediately replaced Tony with Alves and changed to 4231.

Seeing Chen Ran's heinous timely adjustment, Mourinho only felt his eyes darken.

This time, before the power of his 433 formation could be brought into play, Crystal Palace made up for the biggest loophole.

Isn't his work in vain with his substitutions and adjustments?
On the Crystal Palace side, Guardiola almost laughed out loud when he saw Mourinho standing on the sidelines in a daze.

"Boss, that Mourinho must have been pissed off by you."

"He replaced Shevchenko, who was in good form and scored a goal today, just to change the formation to 433, but you blocked him back before it played a role."

Guardiola said with a relaxed face, a little gloating.

"We still can't take it lightly. Chelsea's wing attack has always been very sharp. You go to remind our players to cheer up. It would be a joke if the opponent scored a goal when they were already on guard. "

"Got it, boss."

Guardiola, who was ordered by Chen Ran, immediately became more serious.I also secretly warned myself again in my heart: Yes, the game is not over yet, so don't get carried away.It is still the boss who is stable, and I have to learn more from the boss in the future.

Although his substitutions were contained by Chen Ran in a targeted manner, Mourinho can only go to the dark now.

After all, Shevchenko, who was replaced, can't play again. Now it's time to see if Chelsea can surprise him after the 433 change.

It's a pity that Robben, who has returned to the position of left winger, has already played most of the game, and he can't take advantage of the energetic Alves who has just played.

On the other hand, Wright Phillips on the right used his speed and agility to make Chiellini scramble when facing Chiellini's defense.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ran immediately walked to the sidelines and took advantage of the dead ball to call Ronaldo over.

"Chris, from now until the end of the game, you have to go back and help Chiellini defend Wright-Phillips. This Wright-Phillips is fast and flexible, and Chiellini can't guard him. Understand. ?”

"Don't worry, boss, that guy will be handed over to me."

Hearing Chen Ran's instruction, Ronaldo turned his head and glanced at Wright Phillips.

He also saw what happened on the field just now, and knew that Chen Ran's worries were not unreasonable.

Chiellini was too tall and too slow to keep up with Wright Phillips.

After making adjustments to Wright Phillips, Chen Ran felt relieved.

In fact, a better solution is to replace Evra to guard Wright Phillips, but Crystal Palace has no substitutions, so Chen Ran can only temporarily arrange Ronaldo to come back to help.

On the other side of Chelsea, Mourinho was really excited when he saw Wright Phillips suddenly find Chiellini. It seems that his 433-[-]-[-] tactic is still effective.

However, he soon discovered that Chen Ran had called Ronaldo to the sidelines, and after some instructions, the tragedy happened again.

Mourinho suddenly discovered that Chen Ran had arranged for Ronaldo to go back to defend Wright Phillips just now.

This time, the painting style is completely different.

If it was said that Wright Phillips was able to play Chiellini around, then he was immediately dumbfounded after switching to Ronaldo.

Fighting for speed, Ronaldo is not slower than him;
Fight your body, one Ronaldo can hit him ten;

Fighting skills, Ronaldo is obviously above him;
In terms of flexibility, Ronaldo is slightly inferior to him.

After such a contest, Wright Phillips was completely suppressed by Ronaldo.

Although Ronaldo is not as flexible as Wright Phillips, Ronaldo is too good at using his body.

As long as there is physical contact, it must be Wright Phillips who loses his center of gravity.

And when Wright Phillips regained his focus, Ronaldo had already snatched the ball away.

Chiellini's speed was not good before, and he didn't even need to use his physical advantage.

But when it comes to Ronaldo, this problem does not exist at all.

This time, Robben on the left of Chelsea was contained by Alves, and Wright Phillips on the right was also contained by Ronaldo.

Drogba in the middle couldn't receive the pass, he was just a wooden stake.

The three strikers after Chelsea's change of formation can't play a role at all, which makes Chelsea's threat to Crystal Palace's goal now not as good as when Shevchenko was in the first half.

"Since Chelsea replaced Shevchenko with Wright Phillips and changed to 433, their shooting opportunities have decreased significantly, and there are almost no threatening shots."

"Mourinho's change of formation was completely restrained by the targeted arrangement made by Chen Ran of Crystal Palace, and it did not play any role."

"It seems that in the head-coach contest of this game, Chen Ran completely beat Mourinho."

"If Mourinho can't come up with something new then Crystal Palace could well keep their lead until the end of the game."

"And once Chelsea lose this direct dialogue with the league leader Crystal Palace, then they are likely to fall behind on the road to the league title this season."

With Ronaldo focusing on defending Wright Phillips, Crystal Palace's offensive on the left has weakened a lot.

Coupled with Tony's end, Terry and Carvalho were free to double-team Ibrahimovic with impunity.

So until the end of the game, the score on the court did not change in any way.

With Ronaldo's one pass and one shot, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal, Crystal Palace beat Chelsea 2:1 at Stamford Bridge, further defending their lead in the standings.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game, and I will reward the host with a 'Level [-] Blood Recovery Card'."

Good thing, this is what Crystal Palace needs most now.

Seeing the system's reward this time, Chen Ran expressed his satisfaction.The intensive schedule of the Premier League puts too much demands on players' physical fitness.

Thousands of miles away in China, countless Crystal Palace fans are also paying attention to this game that is related to the title of the Premier League champion this season.

"Haha, when I watched the game, that Mourinho's face was frighteningly black."

"Can't it be scary. All the changes and adjustments he made were stopped by Chen Ran. It's useless after working for a long time. I would be mad if I were in it."

"Watching Chen Ran command the game now is really a bit like a master. That Mourinho is also the head coach who has won the Champions League after all, but he was suppressed by Chen Ran and couldn't turn over."

"It seems that this season's Premier League championship is probably Chen Ran's again."

"That's right, Chelsea and Manchester United have already passed one of the two hurdles. If Manchester United is taken down again, the Premier League championship this season will probably be stable."

"It makes sense. Now that Chelsea have fallen behind, it depends on the result of the match against Manchester United three days later."

"I said, are you a little too optimistic? There are five games in twelve days, and the fourth game is against Manchester United. It's hard to say what the physical condition of the Crystal Palace players will be."

"It's okay, the Crystal Palace players are tired, and the Manchester United players are also tired. It's just that they don't have to fight two strong enemies in a row like Crystal Palace."

"Win Manchester United, Crystal Palace three consecutive Premier League titles!"

"Win Manchester United, Crystal Palace three consecutive Premier League titles! +1"

"Win Manchester United, Crystal Palace three consecutive Premier League titles! +2"

As the opponent of Crystal Palace in the next round and also a direct competitor of the Premier League this season, the Manchester United team is naturally paying attention to the match between Crystal Palace and Chelsea.

"Chelsea guys are so useless. I expected them to stop Crystal Palace. It seems that we are thinking too much."

"That's right. That Mourinho, didn't he win the Champions League? Why is he so weak now? His substitutions and adjustments were completely restrained by the Chinese man in Crystal Palace, and he played a little role. "

"Hehe, it's good that Chelsea can consume Crystal Palace's stamina. They lost to Crystal Palace for two consecutive seasons. You still expect them to win Crystal Palace. Isn't that just a pipe dream?"

Manchester United Club, Ferguson's office.

CEO David Gill and others gathered here to discuss Manchester United's opponent Crystal Palace in the next game.

"Alex, what do you think of this game?"

Although everyone was talking about expressing their views, but their boss Ferguson has not spoken.

"what?"

Ferguson was a little distracted just now, and he didn't react for a while.

David Gill repeated the question just now.

"A game? Actually, the highlight of this game is not on the field, but the contest between Chen Ran and Mourinho off the field."

Ferguson was obviously also reminiscing about the content of the game, speaking very slowly.

"I have to admit that the kid from Huaguo grew up too fast."

"It's only been a few years, and as the head coach Mourinho, who has won the Champions League, the arrangements and adjustments he made in the game were completely deciphered by Chen Ran, and they didn't play a role at all. "

"I guess, Mourinho must be full of powerlessness now?" Ferguson muttered to himself.

Actually, why isn't he?
