If Mourinho's behavior made Chen Ran dumbfounded before, then their actions now made all the audience and media reporters dumbfounded.

Most of the players from both teams were concentrated within the thirty-meter area of ​​Chelsea.

For those who didn’t know better, they thought this was a match between two teams with huge disparities in strength.

The current restricted area of ​​Chelsea looks very much like what Chen Ran once saw on TV, the fishing nets used during winter fishing in Chagan Lake, which were filled with big and lively fish.

At this time, the initiative of the game was completely in the hands of Crystal Palace.

One cross after another was sent into the penalty area from the left and right sides.

The sky in Chelsea's penalty area began to gradually fall under the control of Crystal Palace.

There is no way, Crouch is 201cm, Toni is 193cm, Vidic is 191cm, Ronaldo is 187cm, and Chiellini is 186cm.

On the Chelsea side, Drogba is 189cm, Terry is 187cm, Carvalho is 182cm, and Ferreira is 181cm.

Except for Drogba and Terry who can play reasonably well, the others are all younger brothers.

Pushing, pulling, hugging, hand-to-hand fighting, people turning on their backs.

I'm not tall enough, so I have to make do with small tricks.

Many defensive actions of Chelsea players can actually be called fouls.

But the referee on duty for this match seemed to have seen nothing and had no intention of blowing the whistle.

Chen Ran was so angry on the sidelines that he jumped up and down, but there was nothing he could do to the referee.

Who knows that at this time, there is no video referee.

When a cross from Evra was once again destroyed by Drogba and left the penalty area.

After grabbing the ball, Fabregas did not distribute the ball to the wing this time, but chose to dribble the ball from the center.

Seeing this situation, Makelele immediately rushed to intercept.

Fabregas moved the ball to the right, took a step forward, and before Makelele's foot reached over, he raised his foot and shot.

Under Makelele's interference, Fabregas's shot was a bit hasty.

Seeing that the direction of the ball's flight had obviously deviated from the range of the goal, at this time, Crouch, who was right on the flight path of the ball, made a smart step back.

He used his head as a refraction point and pushed the ball that had already deviated from the direction of the goal to the other side.

It was this one with little power, but it just happened to turn the ball's flight direction towards the goal.

Cudicini, who had already moved ahead of time, was already a step too late when he turned back, and could only watch the ball go into the net.

"Goal..."

Finally scored!

At this time, the game has reached the 89th minute.

Crystal Palace finally broke the deadlock with Crouch, leading Chelsea 1:0.

It is really not easy to break the bus set by Mourinho.

Chen Ran couldn't help but jump up excitedly on the sidelines, but he reacted immediately.

The game is not over yet, and now is not the time to celebrate.

The arrangement just now can only be used in extreme situations.

Now that we are ahead, we must immediately adjust our deployment.

Chen Ran immediately called Southgate over from the celebrating crowd.

"Gareth, Chelsea may launch a final counterattack. Now let's change the formation to 352."

"Tell Chiellini and Vidic to come right back and play with you in the back three."

"Evra and Ribery serve as left and right wing-backs respectively. Let Ronaldo play as an attacking midfielder and tell him that his task is to keep an eye on Lampard. He will go wherever Lampard goes. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, boss, victory is ours."

By the time the two sides kicked off again, the game time had exceeded ninety minutes and entered stoppage time.

As expected by Chen Ran, Mourinho ordered Chelsea to launch a final counterattack.

It's a pity that Chelsea's players on the field were physically exhausted after the high-intensity defense just now.

Even if he wants to attack now, he is powerless.

Seeing the performance of the players on the field, Mourinho turned pale and did not say another word.

Before the referee blew the final whistle of the game, he turned and walked into the tunnel under everyone's surprised eyes.

"???"

The reporters in the stands also saw this scene, and everyone looked confused.

"What's going on? What happened? Why did he leave? The game is not over yet."

"I don't know either. He might be in a bad mood."

"Fxxxk! Can't he afford to lose?"

"I think so."

"Is this the true face of the new Champions League winning coach?"

"It seems that we don't know enough about Mr. Mourinho."

"In terms of pure demeanor, the Chinese guy is much better than him."

"I agree with this."

"Me, too!"

...

Less than a minute after Mourinho left, the referee finally blew the final whistle of the game.

The entire Selhurst Park stadium suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

Crystal Palace relied on Crouch's winning goal to defeat Chelsea 1:0 at home.

While scoring three points, it also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of 2 million euros.

After the game, Mourinho's move to leave the game early was met with verbal criticism from the English media.

And Chen Ran is also very rare. After Mourinho landed in the Premier League, he changed from a clown in negative comparison to a positive figure.

"Mr. Mourinho should apologize for leaving the game early."

"As the new Champions League winning coach, Mr. Mourinho seems to lack enough respect for the Premier League."

"In the new Champions League winning coach, we seem to only see pride and prejudice."

"This is England. I hope Mr. Mourinho will pay attention to his behavior."

"Compared to Mr. Mourinho, the Chinese guy from Crystal Palace seems to be more elegant."

"In the peak showdown between two popular young coaches, the Chinese from Crystal Palace won the first game."

...

Thousands of miles away in China, many fans stayed up late to watch this Premier League highlight game.

"I didn't expect that Crystal Palace has become so powerful now?"

"That's right. In the second half of this game, Crystal Palace was basically playing against Chelsea."

"Yeah, aren't they a newly promoted team? How come they killed last season's runner-up Chelsea?"

"And that Chen Ran, isn't he the boss of Crystal Palace? Why is he standing on the sidelines directing the game? Doesn't Crystal Palace have a head coach?"

"Haha, you look like a fake fan at first glance. You don't even know that Chen Ran is the owner of Crystal Palace and the head coach of the team at the same time."

"Ah? Is this okay?"

"What's wrong with this? As long as you have the corresponding coaching qualification certificate."

"I didn't expect that Chen Ran not only has money to buy a club, but also has a coaching certificate to coach in the Premier League. It seems that he really likes football."

"That's right. It's not easy to coach a Premier League team. Judging from Chen Ran's coaching performance, I am now more and more optimistic about Crystal Palace."

"You are talking nonsense. Crystal Palace has won three consecutive games and is ranked first. Can you not be optimistic about it?"

"Anyway, I decided to watch any Crystal Palace game from now on, no matter how late it is."

"Yes, I will watch it too. If Crystal Palace really keeps playing like this, it's hard to say who will win the Premier League championship this season."

...

In the third round of the Premier League, except for the focus battle between Crystal Palace and Chelsea.

Arsenal defeated Blackburn 3-0 at home and also achieved three consecutive victories. They are tied with Crystal Palace on nine points and are clinging to it.

Among the other two strong teams, Manchester United drew 0:0 with Everton at home, and Liverpool was tied by Portsmouth 1:1 at home, both of which were a bit behind.

London, Arsenal Club, Arsene Wenger's office.
