Chapter 328 Too Meow's Reality

Soon, Mourinho discovered that the two full-backs of Crystal Palace who had been honestly staying in the backcourt defense before began to frequently insert assists.

He immediately walked to the sidelines and loudly ordered Robben and Raul to keep a close eye on Maicon and Evra, and no matter which one made the assist, they had to catch up with the defense in time.

Seeing Mourinho's coping strategy, Chen Ran was also speechless for a while.

Even the two standard offensive players, Raul and Robben, were assigned defensive tasks by Mourinho. This guy really wants to carry out the defense to the end.

It's time to use the battering ram.

After making up his mind, Chen Ran immediately turned around and called Guardiola to his side.

"Josep, you arrange for Tony to warm up immediately, and replace Modric with him later. With Tony as the center forward, Ronaldo and Messi surround him, and the team changes 4213, ready to launch a general attack."

"Okay, boss."

Mourinho, who has been paying close attention to every move of the Crystal Palace bench, immediately spotted Tony running to warm up.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, the opportunity he had been waiting for was finally about to appear.

Ever since he knew that Crystal Palace has been plagued by injuries this season, especially the serious shortage of defenders, Mourinho has begun to think about how to use this flaw to deal with Crystal Palace.

As Chen Ran's old opponent, Mourinho's understanding of Crystal Palace players is probably second only to Chen Ran himself.

Thiago Silva, the main central defender of Crystal Palace, is difficult to deal with in all aspects, but Pepe, who replaced Vidic as the central defender, is a player with outstanding advantages and disadvantages.

He has outstanding physical fitness and strong frontal defense ability, but his mind is prone to heat, and he often does some incredible things.Such Pepe has logically become a breakthrough for Mourinho's selection.

However, even he knows these shortcomings of Pepe, and Mourinho does not believe that the head coach Chen Ran will not be clear.

Therefore, Mourinho judged that Chen Ran would definitely arrange enough protection forces in front of Pepe.

The fact is just as Mourinho expected, Chen Ran arranged Vieira, Modric and Yaya Toure as three defensive midfielders, and arranged a tight line of defense in front of the back line.

These three people intercepted most of Real Madrid's balls passed to the strikers, so that the two central defenders of Crystal Palace were not affected at all.

Now, if Chen Ran wants to replace Tony, there is a high probability that a midfielder will be removed.

In this way, it is impossible for the remaining two defensive midfielders to completely control the Bernabéu stadium with a width of 66 meters.

If things really develop like this, then the opportunity to directly attack the Crystal Palace central defender will come.

Therefore, Mourinho's attention was completely on the bench of Crystal Palace.

When Toni finished warming up and followed the fourth official to the sidelines, Mourinho finally saw the result he wanted. Crystal Palace replaced Modric with Toni.

Unfortunately, instead of replacing Vieira or Yaya Toure, it seems that Chen Ran is still on guard.

Mourinho sighed secretly. Although he did not achieve the most desired result, he is not an indecisive person.

Although Modric is not a full-time defensive midfielder, there is one less player in the midfielder position on the Crystal Palace side, which is enough.

Mourinho called Robinho on the bench to his side, put his arms around Robinho's shoulders, and covered his mouth with his hands.

"Robson, after you play, replace Raul as the right winger and let Raul play the midfielder. Then tell Van Nistelrooy, Robben and Raul, and then you will stare at Crystal Palace's Pepe onslaught, understand ?"

"Understood, boss."

Not long after the Crystal Palace had just completed the substitution, Real Madrid's bench immediately followed up with countermeasures.

Soon, Chen Ran saw that Mourinho replaced Diarra with Robinho.

Then Robinho replaced Raul as the right winger, and Raul returned to the center to play the midfielder, and the formation became 4213 similar to Crystal Palace.

Mourinho finally couldn't help but want to press out and attack?
Seeing the adjustment of Real Madrid's position on the field, Chen Ran smiled slightly. He had been waiting for this moment for most of the game. Fortunately, Mourinho did not disappoint him.

Following Chen Ran and Mourinho's successive moves, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

From the previous attack by Crystal Palace, Real Madrid's shrinking defense turned into two teams opening up to attack.

As Mourinho judged, there is no way to completely control the 66-meter-wide Bernabéu stadium with Vieira and Yaya Toure alone.

In addition, Real Madrid is now fully pressing out to attack, which immediately poses a big threat to the Crystal Palace's defense.

However, it is precisely because of Real Madrid's counter-defense that their defense no longer has enough manpower to double-team the strikers of Crystal Palace.

For a while, Real Madrid's goal guarded by Iker Casillas was almost broken by Crystal Palace.

Playing against each other, Crystal Palace has never been afraid of anyone.

Seeing the current situation of the game, Chen Ran returned to the bench and sat down instead.

The rest depends on the performance of the players on the field, and Chen Ran is very confident in the abilities of the Crystal Palace players.

However, just 2 minutes after Chen Ran sat down, something happened on the field.

Robinho and Raúl played a two-on-one match past Crystal Palace left-back Evra, and then dribbled the ball straight into the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Fortunately, Thiago Silva, who rushed over to make up the defense, was in place in time and took the first step to block Robinho's way to the Crystal Palace goal.

In desperation, Robinho had no choice but to dial the ball and turn to the bottom line.

Robinho used a Roberto Carlos-style cross and slammed the ball into the center with a shot before Thiago Silva stretched out his foot to block it.

This way of crossing is very difficult for defensive players to deal with, because the ball is powerful and fast, and it is impossible to control it at all. A slight touch may block the ball into their own goal.

At this time, Van Nistelrooy in the middle is already in place. The nickname of "King of the Small Box" is not in vain. Van Nistelrooy has already thrown his body out, ready to throw Robinho A pass into Crystal Palace's goal.

And Pepe, who was in charge of guarding against Nistelrooy, did not relax at all. Before van Nistelrooy, he also threw his body out, trying to hook the ball out first.

However, it is easy to block the ball into the goal, but it is much more difficult to hook it out.

Coupled with the fact that Robinho passed the ball with the power of shooting, there was no chance for Pepe to adjust.

The ball was indeed hooked by Pepe first, but because the angle of the ball was not steep enough, it failed to cross the crossbar of the goal. As a result, the ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar and finally bounced into the goal of Crystal Palace.

With Pepe's own goal, Real Madrid led Crystal Palace 1-0 at home.

"beep!"

When the referee signaled that the goal was valid, the entire Bernabéu stadium suddenly boiled again.

However, this time it was no longer deafening boos, but the sound of cheers and celebrations resounded through the sky.

Yes, from booing to cheering seamlessly, Real Madrid fans are so realistic.

On the sidelines, Mourinho, who was originally alone, was also surrounded by people rushing from the bench to celebrate.

However, in the shadow, the expression on Mourinho's face at this moment is very similar to the legendary "Dragon King with Crooked Mouth".

On the other side, facing Pepe's own goal, Chen Ran didn't know what to say.

You really can't blame Pepe for this ball.Even if he doesn't touch the ball, Van Nistelrooy, who is already in place behind him, will block the ball into the goal.

Forget it, consider yourself unlucky.

"Josep."

"Boss, what instructions do you have?"

"Tell the players that it's nothing to concede a goal. Attack with all your strength and get the score back."

"Okay, boss."

After losing the ball, the Crystal Palace players were not greatly affected.Like Chen Ran, the Crystal Palace players are also very confident in their team's offensive strength.

Being behind in the score will only stimulate Crystal Palace to launch a more violent offensive.

On the other side, after taking the lead, Mourinho immediately waved the flag, and the Real Madrid players once again retreated to their own half to shrink their defense.

Not only that, but the guy called up Salgado and Gago from the bench.

And quickly replaced Robben and Raul with the two of them, leaving Van Nistelrooy and Robinho as a pair of forwards, and Gago, Baptista and Sneijder formed the defense line A new barrier ahead.

Salgado went to play right back, while Ramos played inward with Metzelder and Cannavaro to play three central defenders, and the team formation became 532.

Fuck, Mourinho is getting more and more shameless now.

Just pressed it out to attack, and once it succeeded, it immediately retracted.

Seeing a series of personnel adjustments and position changes in Real Madrid, the corners of Chen Ran's mouth twitched slightly. Who did this guy learn from?This is too much.

However, Real Madrid's shrinking formation and bus arrangement also let Chen Ran completely have no worries, and he can let go of his hands and feet to attack aggressively.

"Josep."

"Boss, what instructions do you have?"

"Notify Mascherano and Cesc Fabregas to warm up immediately, and replace Evra and Maicon with them later."

"With Mascherano, Thiago Silva and Pepe at the back, Cesc Fabregas and Vieira and Yaya Toure in the midfield, the team formation becomes 3331, understand ?"

"Understood, boss."

With Chen Ran and Mourinho's substitutions and adjustments, the situation on the field seemed to have returned to the first half of the game, with Crystal Palace bombarding Real Madrid indiscriminately.

The difference from the first half of the game is that although there are sporadic boos in the Bernabéu stadium, most of them are cheering for Real Madrid.

On the sidelines, Mourinho, who saw all this in his eyes, curled his lips imperceptibly, then turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Crystal Palace bench.

The iron barrel array has been set up, and now it depends on whether that guy Chen Ran has the ability to crack it.

At this time, Chen Ran calmly returned to his seat on the bench and sat down.

Calling up the system silently, he used a "Level [-] Sight Card" for Messi and a "Free Kick Master Card" for Ronaldo.

As for the "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card", it had too many negative effects, and Chen Ran still didn't dare to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

After a while of operation, Chen Ran called Guardiola to his side again.

"Josep, you go tell Ronaldo and Messi. Just like last time, let Ronaldo increase the number of dribbles to create free kicks, and all free kicks will be taken by him. Then let Messi hit the goal as much as possible. , I will give him 'freedom to fire' in this game."

"Okay, boss."

Soon, Ronaldo and Messi, who received Chen Ran's latest instructions, immediately put into action.Both of them had tasted the sweetness last time, so of course they believed in Chen Ran's order now.

When the game progressed to No. 708 minutes, Messi and Kaka played a two-for-one cooperation, and inserted into Real Madrid's penalty area between Real Madrid left-back Marcelo and left center-back Cannavaro.

Facing Metzelder who rushed to help defend, Messi flicked his left foot lightly, and the ball passed between Metzelder's legs.

Before Baptista stretched out his foot to block, Messi kicked the goal directly, and the ball flew to the upper right corner of the Real Madrid goal.

Casillas reacted very quickly, flew up a side attack, and blocked the ball with his fingers.

"boom!"

Before everyone could react, a figure rushed out from behind, a diving dive to the top, and pushed the ball back.

This time, Casillas, who had just finished the save action, had not had time to get up, and could only watch the ball fly into the goal he was guarding.

"GOAL!"

The player who had just finished diving to the top jumped up from the ground. It was Ronaldo. With his goal, Crystal Palace and Real Madrid scored 1:1.

Mourinho's face sank when he saw that he could not prevent Crystal Palace from scoring with the bus.

However, a draw with Crystal Palace is also an acceptable result for Mourinho, so he has no intention of dismantling the bus and launching an attack again.

Mourinho is rock solid, but Real Madrid fans quit.

what happened?After the team took the lead, it is understandable to shrink the formation and put on the bus, but now the score is equalized, shouldn't you Mourinho re-launch the offensive and score another goal?

Therefore, when the Real Madrid fans saw that Mourinho still insisted on the tactic of placing the bus, there were harsh boos again in the Bernabéu stadium.

"Haha, that guy Mourinho is really miserable."

After the equalizer, the atmosphere on the Crystal Palace bench relaxed again.

Seeing the performance of Real Madrid fans, Southgate couldn't help but sympathize with Mourinho.
