Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 254 Feels like a master

   Seeing that the score on the field was behind again, Mourinho's heart suddenly surged, and he wanted to change Chelsea's formation back to 433.

  Because, after Crystal Palace changed to 352, they no longer set up full-backs, and 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 storm Crystal Palace's wing, I believe it will definitely get good results.

   However, once it is changed back to 433, what will Shevchenko do?

   It has been proved by trial and error that Shevchenko is really not suitable for the tactics of the three strikers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

   Seeing that he almost conceded another goal, Mourinho did not dare to hesitate any longer.

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

   Mourinho's movement immediately alerted 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 wing, 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 of the thin and short Wright Phillips, except for playing winger, other positional defects are too big, Mourinho should not be so stupid.

   But once the evolution is 433, what will Shevchenko do? He is not suitable for the formation of three strikers. Does Mourinho want to replace Shevchenko with Wright Phillips?

  Although he just turned his head and glanced at it, in Chen Ran's mind, he has roughly analyzed the actions Mourinho will 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 of the flanks ."

   "Understood, boss."

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

   Looking at Shevchenko's somewhat stunned expression, all kinds of speculations suddenly aroused.

   "It is obvious from the camera that Shevchenko is obviously very puzzled about being substituted."

   "Replace 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, and wing defense is the biggest weakness of this formation. It seems that Chelsea's head coach Mourinho is trying to target this weakness of Crystal Palace."

   "Huh? Crystal Palace's bench is also moving now."

   "The one who got up and warmed up was Crystal Palace's backup 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 on the field played wonderfully, but even the wits and courage of the two coaches off the field were amazing."

   Just after Chelsea replaced Shevchenko with Wright Phillips, within minutes of changing to 433, Crystal Palace immediately replaced Tony with Alves, changing to 4231.

  Seeing Chen Ran's timely and outrageous adjustment, Mourinho only felt black in front of his eyes.

   This time, the power of his 433 formation has not yet been exerted, and Crystal Palace has made up for the biggest loophole.

   His replacement and adjustment, doesn't it mean that he is busy working in vain?

   On the Crystal Palace side, Guardiola almost laughed when he saw Mourinho standing on the sidelines in a daze.

   "Boss, that Mourinho is probably **** off by you."

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

   Guardiola said with a relaxed look and a bit of schadenfreude.

"It's still not to be taken lightly. Chelsea's wide attack has always been very sharp, you go to remind our players to cheer up. If you are already prepared to be scored by the opponent, it will become a joke. "

   "Got it, boss."

   Guardiola, who was ordered by Chen Ran, immediately looked a lot more serious. In my heart, I secretly warned myself once again: Yes, the game is not over yet, so don't get carried away. The boss is still stable, and I will learn more from the boss in the future.

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

   After all, Shevchenko, who was replaced, can't play again. Now it will be seen if Chelsea after the change of 433 can surprise him.

  Unfortunately, Robben, who has returned to the left wing position, has already played most of the game. Facing the energetic Alves who just came on the court, he could not take advantage of it.

   On the right, when facing Chiellini's defense, Wright Phillips used his speed and flexibility to get Chiellini in a hurry.

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

"Chris, from now until the end of the game, you're going back to help Chiellini guard Wright Phillips. This Wright Phillips is quick and agile, and Chiellini can't guard him. Understand? ?"

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

   Hearing Chen Ran's order, Ronaldo turned to look at Wright Phillips.

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

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

After    made adjustments for Wright Phillips, Chen Ran was relieved.

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

   On the Chelsea side, Mourinho was really excited when he just saw Wright Phillips stun Chiellini to the north. It seems that his 433 tactics are still effective.

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

   Mourinho was surprised to find that Chen Ran had arranged for Ronaldo to go back to defend Wright Phillips.

   This time, the style of painting is completely different.

   If Wright Phillips was able to play Chiellini all over the place before, now he is dumbfounded when he is replaced by Ronaldo.

   Fighting speed, Ronaldo is not slower than him;

   Fighting for his body, Ronaldo can beat him ten times;

  Fighting skills, Ronaldo is clearly above him;

   is flexible, and Ronaldo is slightly inferior to him.

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

   Although Cristiano Ronaldo is not as flexible as Wright Phillips, Cristiano 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.

   By the time Wright Phillips regained his center of gravity, the ball had already been snatched by Ronaldo.

   Before Chiellini's speed was not good, he couldn't even 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.

   The Drogba in the middle can't receive the pass, he is just a wooden stake.

  The three strikers after Chelsea's evolution have no effect at all, which makes Chelsea's threat to Crystal Palace's goal now not as good as when Shevchenko was there 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."

   "This time Mourinho's evolution 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 coaching contest in this game, Chen Ran completely defeated Mourinho."

   "If Mourinho can't come up with a new solution, then Crystal Palace are likely to keep the lead until the end of the game."

   "And once Chelsea lose this direct conversation with league leaders Crystal Palace, then they are likely to fall behind in the race for the league title this season."

   As Ronaldo focused on defending Wright Phillips, Crystal Palace's left-sided attack weakened a lot.

   Coupled with the end of Tony, Terry and Carvalho can free up their hands to unscrupulously double-team Ibrahimovic.

   So until the end of the game, the score on the field did not change.

   With a pass and a shot from Ronaldo and a goal from Ibrahimovic, Crystal Palace defeated Chelsea 2:1 at Stamford Bridge, further defending their lead in the standings.

   "Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game, and a special reward for the host's 'first-level blood recovery card'."

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

   Chen Ran expressed his satisfaction when he saw the system's reward this time. The intensive schedule of the Premier League places too much physical demands on players.

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

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

   "Isn't it scary? All the substitutions and changes he made were all stopped by Chen Ran. If I was busy for a long time, I would be mad."

   "Watching Chen Ran directing the game now feels a bit like a master. That Mourinho is also a coach who has won the Champions League, but Chen Ran can't help it."

   "It seems that this season's Premier League title is likely to be Chen Ran again."

   "That's right, Chelsea and Manchester United have passed one now. If Manchester United wins again, the Premier League title this season is estimated to be stable."

   "It makes sense, now that Chelsea has fallen behind, we will see the result of the game against Manchester United three days later."

   "I said, are you too optimistic? Five games in 12 days, the fourth game against Manchester United, it's hard to say what the physical condition of the Crystal Palace players will be."

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

   "Won Manchester United, Crystal Palace won the Premier League three consecutive championships!"

   "Won Manchester United, Crystal Palace won the Premier League three consecutive championships! +1"

   "Won Manchester United, Crystal Palace won the Premier League three consecutive championships! +2"

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

   "Chelsea guys are so useless, we expected them to stop Crystal Palace, it seems that we think too much."

"That's it. That Mourinho, didn't he win the Champions League? Why is he so weak now? His substitution adjustment was completely restrained by the Chinese from Crystal Palace, and he played a role. "

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

   Manchester United Club, Ferguson Office.

  CEO David Gill and others gathered here to discuss Manchester United's next match against Crystal Palace.

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

  Although everyone was talking about their opinions, their boss, Ferguson, never spoke.

"what?"

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

  David Gill repeated the previous question.

   "The game? In fact, the focus of this game is not on the field, but the contest between Chen Ran and Mourinho off the field."

  Ferguson was apparently also reminiscing about the game, speaking very slowly.

   "I have to admit that the Chinese boy grew up too fast."

"It's only been a few years. As a coach who has won the Champions League, Mourinho's arrangements and adjustments in the game have been completely cracked by Chen Ran, and it has not played any role. "

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

   In fact, why is he not?
