   Chapter 197 Whoever scores the goal will be replaced

After   Raul came on the court, he was very active.

   But his left-back Robert Carlos is 33 years old this year. As a full-back, this is definitely an advanced player.

   So, when the game reaches 60 minutes, now Robert Carlos does not have enough physical strength to continue to press assists. Otherwise, if he can't go back, there will be huge loopholes in Real Madrid's defense on the left.

  Zidane, the front midfielder on the left in the middle, is also 34 years old this year. After the second half of the game, his physical fitness also began to decline.

The most outstanding performance of    is that his running and coping couldn't be as active as in the first half.

   As a result, Raul cannot get enough support, and he can only fight alone on the left lane in many cases, making it difficult for him to play his role as a new force.

   On the Crystal Palace side, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery, two young people, are still full of vitality.

  Chen Ran ordered the formation to move forward, and after pressing the attack, it instantly became active.

  When Real Madrid's attack was once again destroyed by Crystal Palace, the ball came to Maicon's feet.

   Maicon dashed along the right line with the ball, and the dedicated Raul was in hot pursuit.

   Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Raul, Maicon simply passed the ball to Vieira who came to pick up.

  Vieira took a few steps forward after catching the ball, and found that Zidane was chasing behind him, and Gravesson in front was about to pounce to block.

   So he did not choose to continue dribbling the ball, but opened his right foot and pushed the ball to Ribery who was already waiting on the right flank with the inner instep.

  Ribery wanted to break through after he got the ball, but made a few fake moves, but Robert Carlos on the opposite side was indifferent and was not fooled at all.

   In desperation, Ribery had to pass the ball back to Vieira, who followed up.

   This time, Vieira didn't stop the ball at all, but before Gravessen stretched his foot to steal, he directly passed the ball into Real Madrid's penalty area with a big foot.

   However, Vieira had to use a bit too much power to avoid being destroyed by Graveson.

  The ball flew directly past Real Madrid's goal and flew to the back point, and even almost went out of the bottom line.

  Fortunately, Ronaldo reacted quickly and immediately rushed over from the left after judging where the ball was falling.

   Hooked the ball back to the middle before the ball went out of the baseline.

  Because it was a save, Ronaldo couldn't control his feet very well.

   This pass was not high enough, and was topped by Real Madrid defender Woodgate and flew to Ronaldo's position again.

   Seeing the ball flying back again, this time C Ronaldo simply didn’t stop the ball, and headed the ball directly to the middle of Real Madrid’s penalty area.

   This time, Crystal Palace's twin tower tactics will have a chance to show their talents.

  Jan Kohler and Tony jumped high at the same time and competed for the header. On the Real Madrid side, Ramos was 184CM and Woodgate was 183CM, so they were not opponents at all.

  Jan Kohler hit the top of Tarzan and smashed the ball into Real Madrid's goal.

  Because the distance was too close, the goalkeeper Casillas didn't have time to react. Just subconsciously raising his hand, the ball has already flown into the net.

   "GOAL!"

  Crystal Palace lead Real Madrid 1:0 away.

   "Nice job!"

  Chen Ran waved his fist fiercely, and immediately heard the deafening cheers from the bench.

   "Boss, our twin tower tactics have succeeded again!"

   Excitedly, Guardiola and Simeone also gathered around and gave Chen Ran a high five.

   "Hehe, although the routine is old, it works."

   Chen Ran smiled slightly, as if he was in control of everything.

   On the other side, Carlo, who saw Crystal Palace's goal, turned ashen, then walked to the bench and called up Baptista and Cassano to warm up.

  Since the Crystal Palace's twin tower tactics can't be prevented, then simply strengthen the attack and see who has the stronger attack.

   Competing in offensive strength, Real Madrid has not yet been afraid of anyone.

   Carlo is also cruel now and decides to give it up.

   "Boss, Real Madrid seems to be making another substitution."

   Carlo's move was soon discovered by Guardiola and reported to Chen Ran.

   "Baptista and Cassano? It seems that this Carlo is determined to attack to the end."

  Chen Ran turned to look at the Real Madrid bench, this Carlo is reckless.

   "Boss, what should we do? Are we shrinking our defense now?"

  According to Guardiola's understanding of Chen Ran, usually after taking the lead, Chen Ran will play defensive counterattacks again in all likelihood.

   "No, continue to attack. The Champions League is different from the usual games, and the total points of the two games are counted. The 1:0 lead is too small and very unstable."

   "Oh boss, will this be too risky? After all, Real Madrid's offensive strength is still very strong." Guardiola asked a little worriedly.

   "Josep, as long as Crystal Palace can continue to score, even if Real Madrid score one, I can accept it."

"You have to know that even 2:1 is better than 1:0. After all, we can still score one more away goal. Don't underestimate this away goal, maybe we can rely on it to advance to the next level at a critical moment. round game."

   "I see, boss."

   Soon, Real Madrid replaced Gravesson with Baptista and Guti with Cassano, and Carlo was desperate.

  Crystal Palace, Chen Ran did not make any adjustments, still maintained the twin towers tactics, and continued to carry out high-altitude bombing of Real Madrid's penalty area.

  The two teams have also changed from the previous half-court offensive and defensive battle to the current open-ended attack.

   If Gravesson is still a balance of offense and defense, then Baptista is obviously stronger on offense than on defense.

  Although he played as a midfielder when he debuted, the reason why Baptista became famous is entirely because of his outstanding ability to score goals when he switched to playing as an attacking midfielder or even a striker.

When    was in Sevilla, Baptista scored 20 goals in 30 La Liga games and ranked second in the scorer list of the season.

   Now, Carlo let Baptista replace Gravesson as the single midfielder, which has to be said to be a huge risk.

   "Josep, how about I strengthen the attack in the middle?"

  Chen Ran also discovered the hidden danger of Carlo's substitution this time, and was a little moved.

   "Boss, are you trying to attack Baptista's position?"

   Guardiola's reaction was very fast, and he immediately realized Chen Ran's purpose.

   "That's right. Real Madrid put such a player with stronger offensive attributes in the midfield position. If we don't seize this opportunity, wouldn't we be sorry for Carlo?"

   "Boss, who are you going to replace with Modric?"

   To strengthen the attack in the middle, it must be replaced by the attacking midfielder Modric.

   However, Guardiola is a little uncertain about who will replace Chen Ran.

  Chen Ran knew what Guardiola meant by asking.

   If Modric is used to replace another midfielder, then only one midfielder will be too thin.

  Real Madrid's formation is 4141. If Chen Ran really wants to change this way, Crystal Palace's defense line might collapse immediately.

   But if you don't change your midfielder, you can only remove a striker.

   In terms of strength and role, Tony is obviously stronger than Jan Kohler.

   But Jan Kohler only came on in the second half, and he just scored a crucial goal, can the players accept it if he is replaced now? Will it cause conflict?

   "Josep, let Modric warm up quickly and prepare to replace Jan Kohler."

   "Boss, is this appropriate?"

   Guardiola couldn't help but persuade.

   "Josep, we're not qualified to think about anything else right now. Do as I say and go."

  Chen Ran patted Guardiola on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"understood."

   Soon, Chen Ran called Modric, who had finished the warm-up, to his side.

"Little Luca, after you came on, just stared at Real Madrid's Baptista attacking. That guy is actually a striker, and playing the midfielder is just his sideline. Tell other people to pass the ball to you more. Understand? "

   "Understood, boss."

   Soon, Crystal Palace replaced Modric for Jan Kohler, who had just played and scored a goal.

  This substitution not only surprised Carlo, but even Jan Kohler, who saw the substitution number on the field, was stunned for a moment.

   Finally, under the urging of the referee, Jan Kohler reluctantly ran to the sidelines.

   After Jan Kohler came off, Chen Ran immediately took the initiative to greet him.

  Although it is a tactical need, Chen Ran also knows that this kind of substitution will hurt the face of the players.

  Especially for these veterans who have been famous for many years, they must be appeased quickly, and the team members cannot be left with knots.

"Young, you played very well, scoring is so crucial. However, now we need to adjust our tactics, you first come down and rest. In the Premier League two days later, you are the starting center, then the team will depend on you. already."

  Chen Ran took Jan Kohler to the bench while explaining his intention to make a substitution.

   "Okay, boss. Don't worry, I'm fine."

  Yang Kohler gave a smile to Chen Ran.

   Chen Ran was relieved at this, and gave a thumbs up to Jan Kohler.

  Yang Kohler is tall and tall, but his personality is relatively gentle. He walked down the steps that Chen Ran handed over without embarrassing Chen Ran.

   And Guardiola, who saw all this in his eyes, also secretly admired Chen Ran.

  Being able to bend and stretch, it is not easy to be a head coach.

As expected by Chen Ran, Baptista, who was accustomed to scoring goals as a striker in Seville in the past two years, could not resist his desire to attack, and repeatedly left his position and ran to the front to participate in the attack. Annoyed Carlo enough.

   And the Crystal Palace players who received Chen Ran's instructions, once they got the ball, immediately passed the ball to Modric.

   If Baptista is in a good position, with his physical fitness, Modric is not an opponent at all.

   But once he left his position, it was difficult to get back in time.

   This time, Modric, who received the pass, was left unmarked.

   And his position is not far outside the arc of Real Madrid's penalty area. If no one cares, Modric can directly kick the door.

   This led to two of Real Madrid's central defenders, Woodgate and Ramos, having to separate one and run outside the penalty area to intercept Modric.

  When Modric received the ball again in this position, Ramos, who was still young and frizzy, jumped too hard.

  Modric was well prepared. With a pull and a dunk, he passed Ramos very easily and dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area of ​​Real Madrid.

   At this time, Woodgate, who found that the situation was not good, had to leave Tony, who was in charge of marking, and rushed over to make up the defense.

   This time, Chen Ran took the risk of offending Jan Kohler and also showed the value of Tony staying on the court.

  Tony saw that Woodgate was going to intercept Modric. He took a step and forcibly blocked Woodgate behind him. A standard pick-and-roll strategy left Modric with an empty space.

   "Little Luca!"

   Hearing Tony's voice, Modric understood and immediately rushed the ball to the space that Tony desperately left.

   At this time, Woodgate was blocked by Tony, Ramos was still chasing after him desperately, and the two full-backs Robert Carlos and Cicinho were too far away.

  Casillas found that there was no one who could help now, he could only rely on himself.

  So, Casillas immediately abandoned the door and rushed towards Modric.

   Seeing Casillas coming towards him, Modric immediately made a shot and knocked Casillas' center of gravity to the ground.

   As a result, Modric was a fake shot and a real dunk. After dodging Casillas, he pushed the arch slightly and sent the ball into Real Madrid's goal.

   "GOAL!"

  Crystal Palace lead Real Madrid 2-0 away.

  In an instant, the Crystal Palace bench immediately boiled, and everyone rushed out to cheer and celebrate.

  Chen Ran, who was surrounded by the middle, only vaguely heard the voice of Guardiola.

   "Boss, your substitution is amazing!"

   "Josep! Josep!"

   "Boss, here I am."

   Hearing Chen Ran's call, Guardiola got out of the crowd.

"Let Mascherano go to warm up, and then replace Modric. Let Mascherano, Yaya Toure and Vieira be the three midfielders together, and the team has become a counter-attacker again. tactics."

   "Ah? Boss, wasn't Modric just replaced?"

   Hearing Chen Ran's latest instructions, Guardiola was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, he couldn't believe his ears.

   "I know, my purpose of replacing him has been achieved, and he can come down and rest now."

"understood."

   With a head full of black lines, Guardiola went to execute Chen Ran's order.

   It's just that I can't help but complain, this guy, the boss, is too utilitarian.

   So, not long after Crystal Palace scored the second goal, Carlo found that Chen Ran had replaced Modric who had just scored.

  What a wonderful trick, first Jan Kohler, now Modric.

   Could it be that Crystal Palace's principle of substitution is that whoever scores the goal will be replaced?
