Chapter 100 Eat some appetizers(2/2)

If he still wants to take away points from Selhurst Park, then there is only one way to attack.

So, while the Crystal Palace players were still celebrating the goal, Moyes had already called Cahill to the sidelines to start arranging the changes.

All this was seen by Chen Ran on the other side.

If they were still in the English Championship, then most teams would probably choose to continue to defend even if Crystal Palace took the lead.

Because they know that if they attack rashly, they will fall right into Chen Ran's trap, causing the team to concede more goals.

But now in the Premier League, many teams have not experienced the nightmare that the Championship teams have suffered.

In other words, they don't think Crystal Palace, the newly promoted team, has anything to be afraid of.

Therefore, as soon as Moyes saw his team falling behind, he immediately changed his formation and attacked. This is a perfectly normal reaction.

And this is exactly what Chen Ran wants to see.

As long as you don't stay behind and defend, it will be much easier for me to attack.

Chen Ran also immediately rushed Yaya Toure to warm up, and then called Southgate and Cesc Fabregas to the sidelines.

"Gareth, don't play as a free agent now. Go back and continue to play as a central defender. The team's formation will become 442."

"Okay, boss."

"Ceske, after Yaya Toure comes on the court, you and he will play as a double midfielder. The task of organizing the offense will be handed over to you, do you understand?"

"I know, boss."

Soon, Chen Ran replaced Modric with Yaya Toure.

Crystal Palace's tactics have also changed from Guardiola to Southgate.

On Everton's side, Cahill was promoted from wing midfielder to forward.

The formation also changed from a 451 defensive counterattack to a 442 with Marcus Bent and Cahill as double arrows.

In the next game, as Everton attacked, many loopholes in the defense suddenly appeared.

Not only failed to regain the score, Toni and Ronaldo each scored another goal.

In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Everton 3-0 at home and won two consecutive Premier League victories. Chen Ran once again earned 2 million euros.

In this round of Premier League matches, several other strong teams have also won.

Chelsea beat Birmingham 1:0 away;

Arsenal defeated Middlesbrough 5:3 at home;

Manchester United beat Norwich 2:1 at home;

Liverpool defeated Manchester City 2:1 at home.

Crystal Palace still relies on its goal difference advantage to top the Premier League list.

Arsenal and Chelsea, who also had two consecutive victories, followed closely. Liverpool rose to sixth place, and Manchester United also moved to ninth place.

After the second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace still topped the list, which made a lot of the previous cynicism disappear.

It was not the conscience of those English reporters who discovered it, but in the upcoming third round of the Premier League, the opponent Crystal Palace will face is Chelsea coached by Mourinho.

Everyone is waiting to see the show.

If the Crystal Palace loses, what Chen Ran will face is probably a scene where everyone is pushing him against the wall.

Many reporters have already thought of their headlines in advance.

For example: "Meteor falls";

"Fake meets genuine";

“Who is the real genius coach”;

...

"Boss, we will definitely win Chelsea. Didn't we win the League Cup last season?"

Southgate, Guardiola and Simeone are also aware of the current atmosphere of public opinion, and even came here to cheer Chen Ran up.

To say that Chen Ran is not under pressure would of course be a lie.

Chelsea under Mourinho's coaching is completely different from Chelsea under Ranieri.

In the previous life, just this season, Mourinho won the Premier League title in his first year at Chelsea.

In thirty-eight league games throughout the season, Chelsea only lost once.

Therefore, if Crystal Palace wants to compete for the Premier League championship this season, it must pin Chelsea down.

Chen Ran knew that in this game against Chelsea, Crystal Palace could not lose at least.

Otherwise, the initiative to compete for the Premier League championship will be out of his control.

In view of the importance of this game, Chen Ran's attention is comparable to last year's League Cup final against Arsenal.

To this end, he also specifically asked Guardiola to re-edit the videos of Chelsea's first two games and bring them to the pre-match preparation meeting for targeted arrangements.

With Drogba as the center forward, Robben and Duff flying together on the wings, this is Chelsea's current strike combination.

This combination is actually similar to the forward configuration of Toni, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery at Crystal Palace.

In the midfield, Mourinho used Lampard, Makelele and Thiago.

The biggest feature of this combination is the balance of offense and defense, and even a little bit more defense than offense.

On the back line, there is a four-back system of Bridge, Carvalho, Terry and Ferreira.

The two central defenders are very strong, but the left and right full-backs are average.

As for the goalkeeper, since Chen Ran intercepted Cech, Chelsea's main goalkeeper is still Cudicini.

This goalkeeper is actually very strong and often performs bravely.

It's just that his state fluctuates greatly, and he's a bit crazy. This also prevents him from reaching the level of a top goalkeeper.
