Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 328 The reality of Tete Meow

   Soon, Mourinho found that the two full-backs of Crystal Palace, who had been honestly defending in the backcourt before, began to add assists frequently.

   He immediately walked to the sidelines and loudly ordered Robben and Raul to keep an eye on Maicon and Evra, and no matter which one scored an assist, they must keep up with the defense in time.

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

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

   Time to use the battering ram.

  Chen Ran made up his mind, then turned around and called Guardiola to his side.

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

   "Okay, boss."

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

   The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and the opportunity he had been waiting for finally appeared.

   Since knowing that Crystal Palace has been plagued by injuries this season, especially the back line is seriously lacking, Mourinho has begun to think about how to use this flaw to deal with Crystal Palace.

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

   Thiago Silva, the main central defender of Crystal Palace, is not easy to deal with, but Pepe, who replaced Vidic as the central defender, is a player with both outstanding advantages and disadvantages.

   He has excellent physical fitness and strong frontal defense ability, but his mind is easy to heat up, and he often does some incredible things. Such Pepe has naturally become a breakthrough in Mourinho's selection.

   However, even he knew about Pepe's shortcomings. Mourinho didn't believe that Chen Ran, the head coach, would not be clear.

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

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

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

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

   In this way, it is impossible for the remaining two midfielders to fully control the 66-meter-wide Bernabeu Stadium.

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

   So Mourinho's attention was completely on the Crystal Palace bench.

  When Tony finished his warm-up and followed the fourth official to the sidelines, Mourinho finally saw the result he wanted, and Crystal Palace replaced Modric with Tony.

  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, after all, there is one less person 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, you replace Raul as the right winger after you come on the field, and let Raul play the attacking midfielder. Then tell Van Nistelrooy, Robben and Raul, and then you will watch the Crystal Palace's Pepe onslaught, understand ?"

   "Understood, boss."

   Not long after Crystal Palace completed the substitution, Real Madrid's bench immediately followed suit.

   Soon, Chen Ran saw Mourinho replaced Diarra with Robinho.

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

   Mourinho finally couldn't help but press out to attack?

   Chen Ran smiled slightly when he saw Real Madrid's stance adjustment. He waited for this moment for most of the game, but fortunately Mourinho did not disappoint him.

   With the successive moves of Chen Ran and Mourinho, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

   From the previous attack by Crystal Palace, Real Madrid contracted the defense and turned into a confrontation between the two teams.

  As Mourinho judged, with Vieira and Yaya Toure alone, there is no way to fully control the 66-meter-wide pitch at the Bernabeu.

   Coupled with the fact that Real Madrid is now pressing out on the attack in an all-round way, it immediately poses a big threat to the Crystal Palace's backline.

   However, it is precisely because of Real Madrid's counter-attack that they no longer have enough manpower in their back line to double-team Crystal Palace's strikers.

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

   Fighting 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 these Crystal Palace players.

   However, just two minutes before Chen Ran sat down, something happened on the field.

  Robinho and Raul played a two-to-one match to pass Crystal Palace's left-back Evra, and then drove the ball directly 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 lead to block Robinho's progress towards the Crystal Palace goal.

   In desperation, Robinho had no choice but to flick the ball and take it to the bottom line.

  Before the catching up Thiago Silva stretched his foot to block, Robinho used a Robert Carlos-style cross method and slammed the ball into the middle with a shot.

   This kind of cross is very difficult for defenders to handle, because the ball is powerful and fast, and it is impossible to control at all. A slight touch is likely to block the ball into his own goal.

At this time, Van Nistelrooy in the middle is already in place. The nickname "King of the Small Penalty Area" is not a vain name. Van Nistelrooy has threw his body out and is ready to take Robinho. The pass was blocked into Crystal Palace's goal.

   And Pepe, who was in charge of guarding against Nistelrui, did not let up at all, grabbing in front of Van Nistelrooy, he also threw his body out, trying to hook the ball out first.

   However, it is easy to block the ball, but it is much more difficult to get it out.

   In addition, Robinho passed the ball with the power of a shot, leaving no chance for Pepe to adjust at all.

  The ball was hooked up by Pepe first, but because the angle of the hook 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 Crystal Palace goal.

   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 Bernabeu stadium immediately boiled again.

   However, this time, instead of deafening boos, cheers and celebrations resounded through the sky.

  Yes, from boos to cheers, Real Madrid fans, it's so realistic.

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

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

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

   This ball, I really can't blame Pepe. Even if he didn't touch the ball, Van Nistelrooy, who was already in place behind him, would have blocked it.

   Forget it, consider yourself unlucky.

   "Josep."

   "Boss, what instructions do you have?"

   "Tell the players that it's nothing to lose a goal. Go all out and get the score back."

   "Okay, boss."

  The Crystal Palace players who lost the ball were not greatly affected. Like Chen Ran, Crystal Palace's players are also very confident in their team's attacking strength.

   The score is behind, and it 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 the defense.

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

And soon replaced Robben and Raul with the two of them, leaving Van Nistelrooy and Robinho as a pair of forwards, and Gago, Baptista and Sneijder as the backline. New barrier ahead.

   Salgado went to play right back, Ramos was added in to play three central defenders with Metzelder and Cannavaro, and the team formation also became 532.

  Fuck, Mourinho is getting more and more shameless now.

   just pressed out to attack, and once he succeeded, he immediately retreated.

   Seeing Real Madrid's series of personnel adjustments and position changes, Chen Ran's mouth twitched slightly, who did this guy learn from? This is too sloppy.

   However, Real Madrid's shrinking formation and placing the bus also made Chen Ran completely free from worries, and he could let go of his hands and feet to attack in a big way.

   "Josep."

   "Boss, what instructions do you have?"

   "Inform Mascherano and Cesc Fabregas to warm up immediately, and they will replace Evra and Maicon later."

"With Mascherano, Thiago Silva and Pepe forming the back three, Cesc Fabregas and Vieira and Yaya Toure form the three midfield, the team's formation becomes 3331, understand ?"

   "Understood, boss."

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

  The difference from the first half is that although there are sporadic boos in the Bernabeu stadium, there are more cheers for Real Madrid.

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

The   iron barrel formation has been set up, and now it's up to Chen Ran to see if he can crack it.

   At this moment, Chen Ran calmly returned to the bench and sat down.

   called out the system silently, he used a "first-level sight card" for Messi, and a "free-kick master card" for Ronaldo.

   As for the "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card", the negative effect is too great, and Chen Ran still did not dare to use it.

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

"Josep, you go tell Ronaldo and Messi. Like last time, let Ronaldo increase the number of dribbles and create free-kicks, all free-kicks are taken by him. Then let Messi hit as many goals as possible. , I gave him 'free fire' for this match."

   "Okay, boss."

   Soon, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, who received Chen Ran's latest order, immediately took action. The two of them had tasted the sweetness last time, and now they are of course convinced of Chen Ran's orders.

   When the game went to the 78th minute, Messi and Kaka played a two-to-one match and inserted Real Madrid's penalty area from between Real Madrid left back Marcelo and left center back Cannavaro.

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

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

   Casillas reacted very quickly, flying up and making a side attack, his fingers would block the ball out.

"boom!"

   Before everyone could react, a figure rushed out from the back, another jumped to the top, and pushed the ball back.

   This time, Casillas, who had just made a save, didn't have 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 for the top jumped up from the ground with a "squeak". It was Ronaldo. With his goal, Crystal Palace and Real Madrid tied 1:1.

   Seeing that he couldn't stop Crystal Palace from scoring a goal, Mourinho's face suddenly sank.

   However, a draw with Crystal Palace was also an acceptable result for Mourinho, so he did not mean to dismantle the bus and start the attack again.

   Mourinho is steady, but the Real Madrid fans quit.

what happened? It's understandable to shrink the formation and put the bus after the team takes the lead, but now that the score has been equalized, shouldn't you, Mourinho, re-launch the offensive and score another goal?

  So, when the Real Madrid fans saw that Mourinho still insisted on the tactic of placing the bus unchanged, the Bernabeu stadium, there were again harsh boos.

   "Haha, that Mourinho guy is so miserable."

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

  Seeing the performance of the Real Madrid fans, Southgate couldn't help feeling sympathy for Mourinho.
