After Raul came on the court, he performed very actively.

But his left-back Robert Carlos is 33 years old this year. As a full-back, he is definitely an elderly player.

So, when the game is 60 minutes later, Robert Carlos no longer has enough physical strength to continue to support the assists. Otherwise, if he can't go back, Real Madrid's left defense will have huge loopholes.

Zidane, who is on the left in the middle, is already 34 years old this year. After the second half of the game, his physical fitness began to decline.

The most outstanding performance is that the running support is not as active as in the first half.

This led to Raul not getting enough support, and often he could only fight alone on the left side, making it difficult for him, the role of his new force, to fully play.

At Crystal Palace, the two young people, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery, are still full of energy now.

Chen Ran ordered the formation to move forward and pressed forward to attack, and became active instantly.

When Real Madrid's attack was once again destroyed by Crystal Palace, the ball came to Macon's feet.

Maikon ran along the right line with the ball, and the dedicated Raul kept chasing him.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Raul, Macon simply passed the ball to Vieira who came to pick up.

After receiving the ball, Vieira also took a few steps forward and found Zidane behind her chasing back, and Gravesen in front was about to pounce over to block the ball.

So he did not choose to continue to dribble the ball, but spread his right foot and pushed the ball with his inner instep to Ribery who had been waiting on the right side.

Ribery wanted to break through after getting the ball, but after making a few fake moves, Robert Carlos on the opposite side remained indifferent and was not fooled at all.

In desperation, Ribery had to pass the ball back to Vieira who followed the response.

This time, Vieira did not stop the ball at all, but instead passed the ball into Real Madrid's penalty area with a big foot before Gravesen reached out to steal.

However, because we want to avoid being destroyed by Gravesen, Vieira used a bit of power.

The ball flew directly across Real Madrid's goal and flew towards the back point, and even almost broke out of the bottom line.

Fortunately, Ronaldo reacted quickly and after judging the landing point of the ball, he immediately rushed over from the left side.

Before the ball goes out of the baseline, he hooks the ball back to the middle.

Because it was a saver, Ronaldo couldn't control his footwork well.

The pass was not high enough, and was pushed by Real Madrid defender Woodgate and flew to the position where Ronaldo was.

Seeing the ball flew back, Ronaldo simply stopped the ball this time and directly pushed the ball towards Real Madrid's middle of the penalty area with his head.

This time, the Crystal Palace's double tower tactics have a chance to show its skills.

Jan Kohler and Tony jumped high and competed for the header at the same time. On Real Madrid, Ramos was 184cm tall and Woodgate was 183cm tall, so he was no match.

Jan Kohler hit the top with a hit and smashed the ball into Real Madrid's goal.

Because the distance was too close, goalkeeper Casillas didn't have time to react. He just subconsciously raised his hand and the ball flew into the net.

“GOAL!”

Crystal Palace leads Real Madrid 1:0 away.

“Beautiful job!”

Chen Ran waved his fist hard, and then heard deafening cheers from the bench.

"Boss, our double tower tactic has succeeded again!"

Excited by the excitement of the smear of Simone, Guardian and Simeone also surrounded him and celebrated with Chen Ran.

"Haha, even if the routine is old, it's fine."

Chen Ran smiled slightly, as if everything was in control.

On the other side, Carlo, who saw Crystal Palace scored a goal, looked ashen, then walked to the bench and called Baptista and Casano to warm up.

Since you can't defend against the double tower tactics of Crystal Palace, you can simply strengthen the attack and see who has stronger attack power.

Real Madrid has never been afraid of anyone in competition for offensive strength.

Carlo has made up his mind now and decided to give it his best.

"Boss, it seems like a replacement for Real Madrid is going to be replaced again."

Carlo's actions were soon discovered by Guardiola and reported to Chen Ran.

"Baptista and Casano? It seems that this Carlo has made up his mind to attack to the end."

Chen Ran turned around and looked at the bench at Real Madrid. This Carlo was reckless.

"Boss, what should we do? Are we shrinking our defense now?"

According to Guardiola's understanding of Chen Ran, usually after taking the lead, Chen Ran will most likely play a defensive counterattack tactic again.

"No, keep on attacking. The Champions League is different from the usual game. It has to be counted as the total score of the two games. The 1:0 lead is too small and it is not reliable."

"Well...Boss, is this risky? After all, Real Madrid's offensive strength is still very strong." Guardiola asked a little worriedly.

"Josep, as long as Crystal Palace can continue to score, I can accept even if Real Madrid scores one."

"You have to know that even 2:1 is better than 1:0. After all, we can get one more away goal. Don't underestimate this away goal. Maybe we can rely on it to advance to the next level at a critical moment.

The round of the game.”

"I understand, boss."

Soon, Real Madrid replaced Gravesen with Baptista and Guti with Casano, and Carlo fought hard.

On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran did not make any adjustments, and still maintained the double tower tactics and continued to carry out high-altitude bombing on Real Madrid's penalty area.

The two teams have also changed from the previous half-court offensive and defensive battle to the current situation of breaking up the attack.

If Gravesen is still balanced in offense and defense, then Baptista is obviously stronger in offense than defense.

Although he played as a midfielder when he debuted, the reason why Baptista became famous was entirely because he had outstanding goals when he changed to a midfielder or even a forward.

When in Sevilla, Baptista scored twenty goals in thirty La Liga games and ranked second in the scorer list that season.

Now, Carlo has to say that it is a huge adventure to let Baptista replace Gravesen as the single midfielder.

"Josep, how about you tell me to strengthen the attack in the middle?"

Chen Ran also discovered the hidden dangers of Carlo's replacement this time and was a little moved.

"Boss, do you want to stare at Baptista's position and attack?"

Guardiola's reaction was very fast and immediately realized Chen Ran's purpose.

"That's right. Real Madrid put such a player with stronger offensive attributes in the midfield. If we don't seize this opportunity, wouldn't we be sorry to Carlo?"

"Boss, who are you going to exchange Modric for?"

To strengthen the attack in the middle, you must replace the front midfielder Modric.

However, Guardiola is a little unsure about who Chen Ran will replace him.

Chen Ran knew what Guardiola meant to ask.

If Modric replaces one midfielder, then only one midfielder is too thin.

Real Madrid's formation is 4141. If Chen Ran really wants to change this way, Crystal Palace's defense line may collapse immediately.

But if you don't change the midfielder, you can only remove one striker.

In terms of strength and role, Tony is obviously stronger than Jan Kohler.

But Young Kohler has only been replaced in the second half, and he just scored a key goal. If he replaces it now, can the players accept it? Will it cause conflicts?

"Josep, let Modric warm up quickly and prepare to replace Jan Kohler."

"Boss, is this appropriate?"

Guardiola still couldn't help but persuade her.

"Josep, we are not qualified to consider other things now. Do as I said, go quickly."

Chen Ran patted Guardiola on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"knew."

Soon, Chen Ran called Modric, who had finished the warm-up, to his side.

"Luca, after you come on the court, you will stare at the Baptista of Real Madrid. That guy is actually a striker, and playing as a midfielder is just his side job. Notify others and pass more for you. Do you understand?

”

"I understand, boss."

Soon, Crystal Palace replaced Modric with his first goal and scored a goal shortly after playing.

This substitution not only surprised Carlo, but even Young Kohler, who saw the substitution number on the court, was stunned for a moment.

Finally, it was under the urging of the referee that Young Kohler ran to the sidelines a little reluctantly.

After Yang Kohler came to an end, Chen Ran immediately took the initiative to meet him.

Although it is a tactical need, Chen Ran also knew that substitutions like this would hurt the players' face.

Especially for these veterans who have been famous for many years, they must be comforted quickly and not let the team members leave their hearts.

"Yang, you played very well, and the goal is so crucial. However, now we need to adjust our tactics, you come down and take a break. In the Premier League two days later, you are the starting center, and the team will rely on you at that time.

Now.”

Chen Ran pulled Yang Kohler to the bench while explaining his intention to substitute.

"Okay, boss. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Yang Kohler gave him face and gave Chen Ran a smile.

Chen Ran felt relieved and gave Yang Kohler a thumbs up.

Although Yang Kohler is tall and big, he has a gentle personality. He walked down the steps he handed over to Chen Ran, not embarrassing Chen Ran.

Guardiola, who saw all this, secretly admired Chen Ran.

Being a head coach is not easy to bend and stretch.

As Chen Ran expected, Baptista, who had been accustomed to scoring goals in Sevilla in the past two years, could not resist his desire to attack, and repeatedly left his position and ran to the front to participate in the attack.

Carlo was so angry.

The Crystal Palace player who received Chen Ran's instructions immediately passed the ball to Modric once he got the ball.

If Baptista was in the position, Modric was no match for his physical fitness.

But as soon as he leaves his position, it is difficult for him to return to his position in time.

This time, Modric, who received the pass, was in an unmarked state.

And his position is not far outside the Real Madrid penalty area arc. If no one cares, Modric can directly hit the ball.

This led to two Real Madrid centre-backs Woodgate and Ramos having to split up one and run outside the penalty area to intercept Modric.

When Modric received the ball at this position again, Ramos, who was still young and frizzy, swung too hard.

Modric was prepared for a long time, and he easily passed Ramos and dribbled the ball and entered the penalty area of ​​Real Madrid.

At this time, Woodgate, who found that the situation was not good, was about to throw down Tony, who was in charge of his control, and rushed over to make up for the defense.

At this moment, Chen Ran took the risk of offending Yang Kohler to reflect the value of Tony staying on the court.

When Tony saw Woodgate going to intercept Modric, he took a step and blocked Woodgate behind him. A standard pick-and-roll tactic left a gap for Modric.

"Little Luca!"

Hearing Tony's voice, Modric understood it and immediately drove the ball towards the space that Tony had left desperately.

At this time, Woodgate was blocked by Tony, and Ramos was still chasing him desperately, with the two full-backs Robert Carlos and Ciscinho being too far away.

Casillas discovered that no one could help now, and he could only rely on himself.

So Casillas immediately abandoned the goal and rushed towards Modric.

Seeing Casillas coming towards him, Modric immediately made a shot, and suddenly deceived Casillas' center of gravity to the ground.

As a result, Modric made a fake shot and buckle. After avoiding Casillas, he pushed the arch lightly and sent the ball into Real Madrid's goal.

“GOAL!”

Crystal Palace leads Real Madrid 2:0 away.

In an instant, the bench of Crystal Palace immediately became boiling, and everyone rushed out to celebrate.

Chen Ran, who was surrounded in the middle, could only vaguely hear Guardiola's voice.

"Boss, your substitution is amazing!"

"Josep! Josep!"

"Boss, I'm here."

Hearing Chen Ran's call, Guardiola emerged from the crowd.

"Hurry up and let Mascherano go to warm up, and then replace Modric. Let Mascherano, Yaya Toure and Vieira serve as three midfielders, and the team becomes a defensive counterattack again

Tactics.”

"Ah? Boss, wasn't Modric just replaced?"

Hearing Chen Ran’s latest instructions, Guardiola was so shocked that he couldn’t even close his mouth. He couldn’t believe his ears.

"I know that my goal of changing him to play has been achieved, and he can come down and rest now."

"knew."

With a black line on his head, Guardiola still went to execute Chen Ran's order.

But I couldn't help but complain in my heart that the boss is so utilitarian.

So, shortly after Crystal Palace scored the second goal, Carlo discovered that Chen Ran actually replaced Modric, who had just scored.

What a weird trick? First, Jan Kohler, now Modric.
Chapter completed!
