At this time, the game has reached the 70th minute.

Bergkamp, ​​who is already thirty-five years old, has almost exhausted his physical energy.

After the score was equalized by Ronaldo, Wenger faced a choice.

Should the young Van Persie replace Bergkamp and continue the attack, or should a defender be replaced to strengthen the defense against Ronaldo?

Seeing Kolo Toure struggling to defend Ronaldo, in order to prevent Ronaldo from scoring again, Wenger finally decided to focus on stability.

Soon, Chen Ran saw Arsenal replace Bergkamp with Sigan.

Is Wenger satisfied with the draw?

Arsenal now changed their formation to 541. Ronaldo, who was double-teamed by Kolo Toure and Xigan, immediately withered.

Seeing Wenger taking the initiative to strengthen defense, Chen Ran felt that he had the last card in his hand and could take action.

He turned around and called Crouch over from the bench.

"Peter, after you come on the field, you will play as a double forward with Tony. Then tell Ronaldo to go back and play as a left midfielder. Do you understand?"

"I understand, boss."

Since Wenger used two defenders to double-team Ronaldo, leaving him in the penalty area will have no effect.

Pulling him back to the wing and using his speed and skills to deliver cannonballs to Tony and Crouch, maybe the effect will be better.

Seeing Crystal Palace replacing Evra with Crouch, Wenger frowned.

This little guy from China seems unwilling to accept just one point.

Immediately afterwards, he discovered that Chen Ran had moved Ronaldo from the forward position to the left wing, which made Wenger immediately alert.

As a coach who has been tracking Ronaldo for a long time, Wenger has seen Ronaldo's growth all the way.

Now every time he recalls that he was not willing to spend money to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo, he feels heartbroken.

Coupled with Ronaldo's wonderful volley in today's game, Wenger has already

Ronaldo's threat level has been adjusted to the highest level.

So Wenger turned around and called Flamini and Reyes from the bench.

After a brief warm-up, he replaced right midfielder Ljungberg with Flamini, and replaced left midfielder Pires with Reyes.

Chen Ran, who had been paying attention to the movements on Arsenal's bench, quickly understood Wenger's intentions.

After Flamini came on the field, he didn't do anything. He just followed Ronaldo and followed him wherever Ronaldo went, pressing closely and defending.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ran couldn't help but touch his nose. It seemed that Wenger didn't attach great importance to Ronaldo.

This time, his plan to use Ronaldo's side breakthrough ability to deliver cannonballs to Tony and Crouch may be difficult to realize.

On the other side, Arsenal's new Reyes is the complete opposite.

Once the ball fell to Arsenal, they immediately passed it to Reyes.

As a result, Ribery was forced to retreat to defend with Reyes, which greatly consumed Ribery's remaining physical energy. The attack on the right side of Crystal Palace was also affected.

Amazing!

Taking a look at Wenger standing on the sidelines from a distance, Chen Ran couldn't help but admire him. A famous coach is a famous coach. This adjustment is so targeted.

Unfortunately, due to Southgate's injury, Chen Ran no longer has a substitution spot.

Coupled with the continuous fighting, the Crystal Palace players are in poor physical condition, which makes him afraid to use Guardiola's tactics that require high physical fitness.

what to do?

Will his winning streak at the start of the Premier League end today?

Chen Ran pinched his eyebrows hard, no, he had to think of another way.

At this time, Chen Ran, who was constantly checking the dynamics on the field, set his sights on the backcourt of the Crystal Palace.

Now Arsenal's only remaining forward is Henry.

In order to mark Henry alone, isn't it a waste to have the entire Crystal Palace defense stay behind?

However, Henry scored 30 goals last season. For such a dangerous striker, if you relax even a little bit, you may get a fatal blow.

For a moment, Chen Ran was in a dilemma.

After taking a look at the score on the big screen, Chen Ran gritted his teeth and gave it a try, otherwise he would not give in.

So, he immediately called Maicon, who was close to him, over.

"Maicon, from now on, you and Chiellini will attack and help Ronaldo and Ribery pass the ball to Toni and Crouch."

"Then tell Vidic and Thiago Silva to keep an eye on Henry. Do you understand?"

"I understand, boss."

Returning to the court, Maicon immediately conveyed Chen Ran's latest instructions.

On the other side, Wenger soon discovered the changes at Crystal Palace.

The two full-backs Maicon and Chiellini pressed forward heavily and cooperated with Ribery and Ronaldo in the attack.

This caused Arsenal's wing defense to suddenly lose sight of one thing.

The players who were originally responsible for marking Ronaldo and Ribery now had to take care of Chiellini and Maicon. This time they were immediately full of loopholes, allowing Crystal Palace's sharp breakthroughs from the wing to reappear.

Seeing this situation, Wenger couldn't help but frowned.

This little guy from China reacts very quickly.

Flamini on the right is okay. He is a player with a balanced offense and defense, and his defensive ability is not weak.

But Reyes on the left is a purely offensive player, and Wenger has no hope for his defensive ability.

In this way, all the pressure on the left wing is on Ashley Cole alone.

Can this guy hold up?

Wenger's eyes were fixed on Ashley Cole, feeling very worried.

However, Wenger's substitution quota has been used up, so he can only rely on the existing players on the field.

"Patrick!"

At this time, Wenger couldn't help shouting loudly from the sidelines and called Vieira over.

"You move a little to the left now. Ashley Cole's defense is a little difficult. Come over and help him."

"Okay, boss."

After receiving the order, Vieira moved his position a lot to the left as soon as he returned to the field.

Vieira is now at his peak and can be said to be one of the top defensive midfielders in world football today.

As soon as Vieira came over, Ribery and Maicon, who had been playing well just now, immediately felt the pressure increase sharply.

Chen Ran, who saw this scene on the sidelines, curled his lips helplessly. Wenger's response was so quick.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

The change in Vieira's position allowed Chen Ran to discover another opportunity.

"Luca!"

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Chen Ran called Modric to the sidelines.

"Did you see Vieira's position moving towards Ribery?"

"I saw it, boss."

"Now there is a gap between Vieira and Gilberto Silva. If there is a chance, you can directly break through the center with the ball. As for whether to shoot or pass after the breakthrough, you decide for yourself."

"I understand, boss."

Modric nodded and turned back to the court.

Chen Ran crossed his arms and glanced at Wenger from a distance.

He has already made all the adjustments he can. Whether he can catch Wenger's flaws can only depend on the performance of the players on the field.

When the ball fell to Modric's feet again, this time he did not distribute the ball to the wing as usual.

Instead, he chose to dribble the ball forward himself and rushed straight into the gap between Vieira and Gilberto Silva.

Modric's sudden change stunned both Vieira and Gilberto Silva.

Because the game has been played for more than 80 minutes, Modric has always separated the sides when he got the ball, which made both Vieira and Gilberto Silva form a fixed mindset.

By the time they reacted and rushed over to cover, they were still a step too late and Modric had already rushed over with the ball.

At this moment, a small gap briefly appeared between Arsenal's midfielder and central defender.

When Modric saw that no one was marking him, he was already at the edge of Arsenal's penalty area.

With such a good position and such a good opportunity, it makes no sense not to take a chance.

Besides, the boss has told me that I have to make the decision whether to pass or shoot.

So why are you hesitating?

"boom!"

Modric exerted all his strength and shot a powerful and heavy shot straight towards the Arsenal goal guarded by Lehmann.

Chen Ran, who was on the sidelines, stood on tiptoes nervously and stared at the trajectory of the ball.

No, the angle is a bit right.

Chen Ran lamented in his heart, the goal would only go in if the goalkeeper made a mistake.

Damn it!

what happened?

The ball actually went in!

Chen Ran rubbed his eyes vigorously, unable to believe what he saw.

What did you say? Did you also master the weapon of the law of cause and effect?

It turned out that Modric's shot was indeed at a right angle and was saved by Lehmann.

However, the ball saved by Lehmann did not fly far and just hit Crouch.

Even though Crouch is over two meters tall, his movements are not clumsy at all.

He didn't make any adjustments, he just used his long legs to stab him.

The ball just rolled into Arsenal's goal.

"Goal..."

With Crouch's supplementary shot, Crystal Palace overtook Arsenal 2:1.

"Hahaha, that's okay too."

Chen Ran was also very happy to see this. This Leman was really his lucky star.

On the other side, Wenger was so angry that he turned back to the bench, unwilling to look at the court again.

The other Arsenal players who were also sitting on the bench were all silent.

Compared with the already boiling Selhurst Park stadium, it is particularly conspicuous.

At this time, the game had already gone on for eighty-eight minutes, leaving Arsenal with very little time left.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Crystal Palace defeated Arsenal 2:1 at home.

Crystal Palace's winning streak at the start of the Premier League increased to twelve consecutive wins, which also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of 2 million euros.

After the game, Chen Ran was surrounded by reporters who swarmed in. Everyone wanted to speak and ask questions.

"Mr. Chen, first of all, congratulations on leading the team to 12 consecutive victories. How do you evaluate the performance of Arsenal, the Premier League champion last season?"

"Thank you. Arsenal is a great team with strong strength. It was not easy for us to defeat Arsenal today."

"Mr. Chen, do you think Arsenal will be the Premier League champion this season?"

Hearing this question, Chen Ran's face darkened.

Damn it, what does this question mean? Are you looking for trouble?

"As the chairman and head coach of Crystal Palace, I certainly think that Crystal Palace is the strongest contender for the Premier League championship this season. I think the standings are the best evidence, isn't it?"

"Mr. Chen, which team do you think will pose a threat to Crystal Palace's championship?"

"Arsenal, and Chelsea."

"No Manchester United and Liverpool?"

"I know that Manchester United and Liverpool are both traditional giants and very strong. But judging from the standings, they will not pose a threat to Crystal Palace's top spot for the time being."

"oh......"

There was a small exclamation from the audience.

"Mr. Chen, do you think that Manchester United and Liverpool have no hope of competing for the Premier League title this season?"

Immediately, a reporter seized on this topic and asked.

"I didn't say that. No one dares to say who will be the final champion until the last round of the league is over."

...

Every post-game interview made Chen Ran feel like he was directing another game.

These unscrupulous reporters are digging holes everywhere, and they will fall into them if they are not careful.

Tired.

In other matches in the twelfth round of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Everton 1:0 at home.

Taking advantage of the match between the top two teams, Crystal Palace and Arsenal, they quietly caught up.

Manchester United was held to a 0:0 draw by Manchester City at Old Trafford, while Liverpool lost again, losing 0:1 to Birmingham at Anfield.

After the twelfth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace continues to top the list with 36 points and 12 wins.

Chelsea has nine wins, one draw and two losses, with 28 points, surpassing Arsenal to move into second place.

Arsenal ranked third with 26 points from eight wins, two draws and two losses.

As for the highlight of this round of the Premier League, the English media will naturally not let go of the opportunity to speculate.

"The winning streak has extended to twelve games and Crystal Palace is unstoppable."

"Facing a truly strong team, Crystal Palace continued its progress."

"The record for the best start in the Premier League is being constantly refreshed."

"Once again defeating the famous coach, the Chinese man once again proved himself."

"Crystal Palace faced off against Arsenal and Chelsea took the opportunity to catch up."

"The Chinese believes that this season's Premier League championship will be won by three teams: Crystal Palace, Arsenal and Chelsea."

"In the competition for the Premier League title this season, the Chinese looks down on Manchester United and Liverpool."

...

Damn it, these reporters took it out of context again.

When did I stop looking down on Manchester United and Liverpool?

Chen Ran was furious when he saw the media reports sent by the little fat man.

Doesn't this make enemies for yourself everywhere?

Thousands of miles away in China, Crystal Palace fans are also discussing this Premier League game.

"Arsenal is worthy of being the Premier League champion last season. They are strong. They overwhelmed Crystal Palace in the first half. Fortunately, Crystal Palace won in the end. Chen Ran's on-the-spot commanding ability is really amazing."

"That's because Crystal Palace has just finished its UEFA Cup match against Lazio and has no time to rest. Of course it's not in good condition."

"It's just that I can't bear to play two games in three days. What's more, they are both strong teams like Lazio and Arsenal? Moreover, Crystal Palace's captain Southgate is injured, so it is not easy to win.

"

"However, today's match between Crystal Palace and Arsenal allowed Chelsea to take advantage and take the opportunity to overtake Arsenal and now rank second."

"That's right, this Chelsea shouldn't be underestimated. It has both money and people, and the one who comes here is not evil."

"It's okay. With Chen Ran here, Mourinho is just like that. Didn't Crystal Palace beat Chelsea when the league started?"
