Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 103 go crazy together
Chapter 103 Everyone goes crazy together
On the other side, Mourinho on the Chelsea bench frowned again.
He took the initiative to shrink and show weakness, giving up the initiative of the game.
Crystal Palace was still attacking with those three or four people, and did not press hard.
That Chinese man was not fooled?
Mourinho had to admit at this time that the Chinese man Mendes praised several times was indeed a bit capable.
Chen Ran made the first move and got rid of Chelsea's sharpest knife, Robben. And Mourinho dug a hole, but Chen Ran didn't fall into it.
In the first round of the fight between the two, Chen Ran had the upper hand.
Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the score remained at 0:0.
Because this game is the focus of this round of the Premier League, reporters from major media gathered in the stands.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that this Crystal Palace can't be underestimated. Even Chelsea can't do anything about them."
"That's right. Chelsea had the upper hand in the beginning, but they were pushed back by Crystal Palace."
"Don't worry, it's still 0:0 now. There is still half of the game, maybe Mourinho will have a killer move in the second half."
"That's right. Mourinho, after all, is a coach who has won the UEFA Cup and the Champions League in a row. Compared with the Chinese, he has much more experience. He definitely has a way to win Crystal Palace."
"Don't be too optimistic. At least so far, the Chinese man has not fallen behind in the contest with Mourinho."
"Hehe, we didn't say Chelsea would win, but we were already very cautious."
During the intermission, Chen Ran did not make any tactical adjustments. Now is not the time to show his cards.
On the Chelsea side, Mourinho saw that Chen Ran was not fooled, so he stopped pretending.
He replaced Thiago with Kežman, changing the formation from 433 to 442.
Drogba and Kežman acted as two strikers, Duff returned to his familiar left to play left midfield, Lampard and Makelele played central midfield, and Joe Cole played right midfield.
It stands to reason that Mourinho's arrangement is completely fine. Duff was originally a left-footed player, and it was only because Roben was forced to switch to the right.
Now that Robben is out, Mourinho has transferred Duff back to the left, which is a normal thing.
Unfortunately, Mourinho did not know what happened between Joe Cole and Ronaldo in the League Cup last season.
And Joe Cole couldn't take the initiative to admit that he couldn't do C Ronaldo.
As soon as the second half started, Chen Ran noticed Mourinho's adjustment.
He couldn't help laughing when he saw Mourinho put Joe Cole on Ronaldo's side.
turned his head and glanced at Mourinho in the distance, and found that the guy was looking confident, waiting to harvest the results of his evolution.
It seems that this Mourinho does not know the grievances between Ronaldo and Joe Cole.
Taking advantage of the dead ball, Chen Ran immediately called Ronaldo to the sidelines.
"Chris, see Joe Cole."
"I see. What's the boss's order?"
Cristiano Ronaldo also smiled knowingly when he heard Chen Ran mention Joe Cole's name.
"Treat him warmly like last season's League Cup."
"Don't worry, boss. I promise to satisfy Mr. Joe Cole."
"Stinky boy."
Chen Ran laughed and scolded, and pushed Ronaldo back to the court.
The next game process made Mourinho completely dumbfounded.
He found that Joe Cole, who was used to replace Robben, was also eaten by Ronaldo.
The task of defending right midfielder Joe Cole should have been the responsibility of Crystal Palace left back Chiellini.
As a result, Ronaldo, who saw Joe Cole, was very excited as if he had seen a relative, and took the initiative to take over the task of defending Joe Cole from Chiellini.
And Joe Cole was also full of bitterness in his heart. When he heard that Mourinho had arranged for him to play right midfielder, he knew that things were not good.
Special meow, didn't that meet that guy named Ronaldo again?
However, can he tell Mourinho that he can’t do it and can’t beat Ronaldo?
Obviously impossible.
Only bite the bullet.
So Mourinho saw that Joe Cole, who he had high hopes for, could break through and couldn't get rid of Ronaldo;
The ball reaches Joe Cole, which is equivalent to ending the offense.
Not only did he fail to create opportunities to shoot, but he was interrupted several times by Ronaldo. It allowed Crystal Palace to fight back several times and almost broke the goal.
scared the rest of Chelsea's players to never pass the ball to Joe Cole again.
This can make Mourinho on the sidelines angry.
What happened to Te Meow?
First it was Robben, and now it was Joe Cole.
How come players who are usually good players start to pull over when they meet Crystal Palace?
Thinking of this, Mourinho glanced at Chen Ran in the distance.
This Chinese man will not be using some mysterious oriental magic to curse the Chelsea players.
Now, Duff on the left side of Chelsea can't take advantage of Maicon. And Joe Cole on the right was completely misfiring.
The two flanks were misfired, and the two forwards Drogba and Kežman in the penalty area could not get enough support, so naturally there was no decent shot.
Chelsea only relied on Lampard's two-footed long-range shot in the middle to create a little threat to the Crystal Palace goal guarded by Cech.
This situation continued until 60 minutes. Mourinho finally couldn't bear it anymore and called Gremi from the bench again.
After a simple warm-up, he used Graeme to replace Joe Cole, who only came on in the first half.
When Joe Cole came off, Mourinho had a dark face and ignored him.
Seeing Mourinho's substitution, Chen Ran snickered inwardly.
Mourinho is out of his depth.
The players replaced by are not as threatening as the other.
However, it can't be blamed on others, who asked him to drive away the wingmen Zenden and Grenshire.
Seeing that Chelsea's attacking power was continuously weakened, Chen Ran looked at the time, the game had been going on for nearly 70 minutes, and it was time to start.
turned to look at the bench, Chen Ran called Crouch and Cesc Fabregas.
After a simple warm-up, Chen Ran replaced Yaya Toure with Crouch, and Fabregas replaced Modric.
Crystal Palace has changed from the 451 defensive counterattack tactics to the 442 twin tower tactics.
At this moment, the air defense pressure in Chelsea's penalty area suddenly increased sharply.
Terry's height is 187cm, but Carvalho's height is only 182cm.
The current two strikers of Crystal Palace, Tony is 193cm tall, and Crouch is 201cm tall.
Terry is only 23 years old this year and is far from reaching his peak.
Defending Tony, who is taller and stronger than him, is already very difficult.
On the other side, Carvalho, who is not known for his height and strength, is now a little powerless to defend Crouch, who is nearly 20cm taller than him.
On the two flanks, both Ferreira on the right and Bridge on the left have been completely suppressed by Ronaldo and Ribery.
Chen Ran changed his formation here, and the effect showed immediately.
Originally, under Terry and Carvalho, one of them pressed closely, and the other was under the protection of the other's defense, Tony showed no threat.
But now with Crouch, Terry and Carvalho can only stare at one.
But both of them were at a disadvantage when they were fighting for the header, which hurt the goalkeeper Cudicini.
The crosses from two flanks were constantly converted into shots by Tony and Crouch.
Chelsea's goal, suddenly caught in a precarious situation.
Mourinho on the sidelines saw this scene and immediately felt that something was wrong. Crystal Palace was going to launch a general attack.
But he has run out of substitutions now, and there is no way to replace a central defender to strengthen his defense. It seems that he can only find a way with the existing players on the field.
Thinking of this, Mourinho didn't care whether the ball was still dead, and immediately shouted loudly on the sidelines, and called Kežman, who stayed in front to do nothing, over to arrange changes.
Soon, Chen Ran saw Mourinho's latest adjustment.
He let right-back Ferrellane play right-centre to help Terry and Carvalho defend Tony and Crouch.
Then let the right midfielder Gremira go back to play right back, while Kežman pulled to the right to play right midfield, and Drogba stayed in front to play a single striker.
The current Chelsea has become a 541 formation again.
Mourinho is not thinking about how to win this game now.
His current mind is very simple, just don’t lose.
Chen Ran took a look, hehe, Mourinho was forced to put on a bus by himself.
Then I'll start another fire.
Immediately, Chen Ran replaced Evra on the court, replacing right back Maicon.
Now, Chen Ran has changed formation again, and Crystal Palace's formation has become 343.
Doesn't Mourinho want Ferreira to take back and help Terry and Carvalho defend Tony and Crouch?
Then I will push Ronaldo to the front line.
Continue to press Chelsea's three central defenders with three strikers.
Ronaldo's height is also 187cm, while Ferreira's height is only 181cm.
In the fight for the header, whether it is Tony on Terry, or Crouch on Carvalho, or Ronaldo on Ferreira.
Crystal Palace's strikers all have the upper hand.
And when the right back Maicon was removed, it was Chen Ran who let Chiellini add in and play a three-back system with Gareth Southgate and Vidic.
Three people are more than enough to defend a lone Drogba.
After Evra came on the field, he took over from Ronaldo as the left wing back.
Anyway, in all positions on the left from front to back, Evra is competent.
Chen Ran sent Evra up, and he could work with Ribery on the right to ensure that the two flanks continued to send crosses to the three forwards.
This time, Mourinho's wishful thinking that he wanted to rely on the number of people to make up for the disadvantage of header defense was completely unsuccessful.
not only did not change the unfavorable situation, but due to the addition of Ronaldo, this disadvantage was not reduced but increased.
Seeing Chen Ran's substitution adjustment, Mourinho immediately knew that the situation was not good.
However, he has no room for adjustment now.
How to do?
Mourinho never imagined that he, the dignified coach of the new Champions League, would encounter such a big crisis in his third game in the Premier League.
That Chinese from Crystal Palace is indeed a powerful character as Mendes said.
Not only has he cracked all his tricks, but now he has forced himself a little cornered.
In desperation, Mourinho could only be forced to take the left back Bridge and play the left center back, help the other three center backs to defend the three strikers of Crystal Palace, and then pull the left midfielder Duff back to play. Left back.
Chelsea's current formation has become a weird 631.
Now, it was Chen Ran's turn to be dumbfounded.
Special, this Mourinho is also the coach of the new Champions League champion. Facing a newly-promoted Premier League team, is it shameless to fight like this?
Chen Ran was also impressed by Mourinho's pragmatism.
This guy is definitely a horrible person.
Only pay attention to the result, not the process.
If this is in fantasy novels, Mourinho is definitely a villain.
What Mourinho did, not only shocked Chen Ran, but also shocked the media reporters in the stands.
"Is this Chelsea playing a formation with four central defenders and six defenders?"
"It seems to be true. With this 631 formation, is Mourinho planning to give up the attack completely?"
"Isn't this Mourinho the new Champions League champion? How could he be forced to this point by that Chinese?"
"Who knows. Is Mourinho too weak, or is the Chinese too strong?"
"It seems that Mourinho is too weak. Last season's Champions League final was a showdown between two dark horses. Without the participation of the giants, the quality is still a little worse."
"It seems that our evaluation of this Mourinho has to be readjusted."
"That's right. It must be that Mourinho has a false reputation, and it is absolutely impossible that the Chinese man is too powerful."
At this time, the game has been going on for 80 minutes, and counting stoppage time, there are only ten minutes left at most.
Chen Ran also used up all the substitutions in his hand.
Chen Ran was completely convinced by Mourinho, who was completely defending his face regardless of his face.
Because just now, Mourinho did another jaw-dropping thing.
He also moved Drogba from the striker position back into the penalty area, like when defending set-pieces, to help his defenders compete for headers.
This time, Chelsea's formation on the field has become 730.
Mourinho gave up the attack completely, he concentrated all the Chelsea players in the area of 30 meters.
Chen Ran is a little dizzy, we are Crystal Palace, not Barcelona.
This is just an ordinary Premier League, not the Champions League final.
We are just a newly-promoted Premier League team, Mourinho, is that the case?
Fantastic, since Mourinho thinks highly of me so much, wouldn’t it disappoint you if I can’t win this game?
Chen Ran's heart swayed, and he immediately greeted the Crystal Palace players loudly on the sidelines.
Three central defenders, except for Southgate who stayed behind, Vidic and Chiellini were all transferred to Chelsea's penalty area by him.
Chen Ran has only one order, go up and grab the header.
Mourinho, you can stack defenders, right? Can’t I stack forwards?
