Chapter 323 Find a new way
Just as the Crystal Palace players were still celebrating the goal, the referee did not let Manchester United kick off again, but directly blew the whistle to the end of the first half.
During the intermission, because Crystal Palace is now leading the score and the situation on the field is also good, so Chen Ran did not make any substitution adjustments except for giving the players as usual.
However, out of concern for the Crystal Palace defense line, Chen Ran once again emphasized to Vieira, Modric and Yaya in the midfield. Toure and the three men should focus more on defense.
In Manchester United, in the locker room, the wind power of the Ferguson hair dryer reached an astonishing level 12. The players all lowered their heads and did not dare to go out, for fear that the old sir would take it out and criticize it alone.
After losing his temper, Ferguson finally calmed down a little.
In fact, he was also very conflicted. He wanted to order the players to beat the offensive and equalize, or even overtake the score, but he was afraid that he would be counterattacked by Crystal Palace again to score a goal.
Although Crystal Palace has only two people in the frontcourt, but they have already experienced their great Ferguson, they will not underestimate the threats of these two guys because of this.
The halftime break was only 15 minutes, but Ferguson alone took up more than half of the time.
Before Ferguson could make a decision, the fourth official came to urge Manchester United players to prepare for the game.
After hesitating for a moment, Ferguson finally did not make any adjustments and waved his hand to prepare for the game.
Seeing the players all fleeing the locker room with relief, their friend and assistant Queroz walked to Ferguson.
"Alex, this is not a solution. We only have Tevez on the court now, so it is difficult to pose a threat to the Crystal Palace goal."
"If we lose to Crystal Palace in this game, then our Premier League champion this season may be out of reach again."
"Of course I know." Ferguson glared at Queroz with annoyance. That is, Queroz is his friend for many years. If it were someone else, he would have sprayed him directly.
"But Ronaldo and Messi's counterattack at Crystal Palace are too threatening. If I reduce the midfield and backcourt players and replace the striker, I'm likely to be attacked by them again."
"Once you fall behind Crystal Palace two goals, it's all over. Since that Chinese boy took over Crystal Palace, no team has been able to reverse Crystal Palace when it's two goals behind."
"Then we're just consuming it? This is probably what the Chinese people want to see most now."
Queroz also knew that Ferguson's concerns made sense. But commanding a game is like a marching war. Oftentimes, there is no perfect strategy and you have to take a gamble at critical moments.
"Of course it's impossible to just waste it."
Ferguson reached out and patted Queroz on the shoulder, "Carlos, after you go out, we will arrange for Saha and Park Ji-sung to warm up. We will start the general attack when the game is 60 minutes old."
"Okay, I get it."
At the beginning of the second half, the scene of the first half continued.
Because Chen Ran was worried about the unstable defense in the Crystal Palace, except for Ronaldo and Messi, everyone else was in the back to defend.
On Manchester United, in order to guard against Ronaldo and Messi, in addition to the only striker Tevez, as well as Giggs and Nani on both sides, most of the players also hoarded them in their halftime.
So although the two teams fought fiercely and played very lively, no one could create a real chance to score.
When the game reached the 60th minute, Ferguson gave the order and replaced Giggs and Nani with Saha and Park Ji-sung.
Sakha and Tevez are the two forwards, Park Ji-sung, Hargreaves and Scholes are the midfielder. The team's formation has also changed from 441 to 432 like Crystal Palace.
Seeing Ferguson's substitution adjustment, Guardiola immediately came to Chen Ran's side.
"Boss, it seems that Manchester United is going to launch a general attack. Should we remove a forward and replace a defensive player, and then strengthen the team's defense?"
"Strengthen the defense? Josep, do you see if there are any players on the bench who have stronger defensive capabilities than players on the court?"
Chen Ran shook his head and smiled bitterly, and pointed at the bench of Crystal Palace.
"Uh...it's better to have more people."
Following Chen Ran's finger, Guardiola glanced over and didn't know what to say.
"Forget it. Now Ronaldo and Messi are restraining Manchester United's defensive energy in front."
"If one of them is replaced, it will be easy to defend if only one is left alone. This is to loosen the ties for Manchester United so that they can free up more people to invest in the offense. If you calculate carefully, it will not be worth the loss."
Chen Ran, who did not adopt Guardiola's opinion, chose to believe that the Crystal Palace players on the court could withstand Manchester United's offensive.
Facts have also proved that Manchester United, who gave up the traditional style of attacking on the wing and began to attack the middle, did not pose a greater threat to the goal guarded by Cech.
Facing Vieira, Yaya Toure and Modric, Crystal Palace midfield barrier, Manchester United's Hargreaves, Scholes and Park Ji-sung, it is difficult to send the ball to the forwards Saha and Tevez.
Seeing that one pass after another was either intercepted or destroyed, Tevez, who was bored and waited for most of the game, couldn't help but run out of the Crystal Palace's penalty area to ask for the ball.
As soon as Tevez ran out of the penalty area, Mascherano, who was in charge of guarding him, quickly followed.
Teves, who was so entangled by his Argentine fellow villager that he didn't get any chance to shoot in the most part of the game, turned around and took a step horizontally, and directly shot.
At this time, Tevez's shot was outside the upper right corner of the Crystal Palace penalty area, more than 30 meters away from the goal.
The angle is biased and the distance is far, and Mascherano is still following you, which is really not a good opportunity to hit the goal.
But Tevez, who had been frustrated for most of the game, didn't care about so much, and he didn't plan to make an attempt to make the shot. He just wanted to vent his depression.
However, Mascherano, who was staring closely at Tevez, was very responsible. When he found Tevez was about to shoot, he immediately rushed up and flew to block the gun hole.
"Bang!"
The ball that Tevez kicked just hit Mascherano's leg that reached over to block the ball, and drew a strange arc.
This time, Cech, who had moved in advance, was caught off guard. When he wanted to change direction, he slipped his feet and fell to the ground. He could only helplessly watch the ball flying into the goal of Crystal Palace from his eyes.
"All!"
The goal is valid.
With Tevez's shit-free goal, Manchester United tied the score to 1:1.
Looking at the ecstatic Tevez and the dejected Mascherano on the court, Chen Ran was speechless.
Temao's Crystal Palace has been too lucky recently, right?
Not only are he constantly injured, but he is always thrown into a lucky balloon.
Faced with this situation, Chen Ran couldn't help scratching his head a little.
After taking a look at the "first-level chicken blood card" in the system inventory, Chen Ran finally gave up the idea of using it.
Because once Messi is given a "first-level chicken blood card", it means that he can only sit on the bench in the next three games. For Crystal Palace, who is now nervous, Chen Ran can't afford this price.
Moreover, more importantly, in the next three games of Crystal Palace, there will be an 8-to-4 match in the Champions League. Compared with the Champions League, the importance of the Premier League is obviously incomparable.
However, Chen Ran didn't want to end the game against Manchester United, and the "First-level Chicken Blood Card" cannot be used, so you can use something else.
So, Chen Ran called out a "first-level sight card" from the system's inventory.
Because Chen Ran had used the "free kick master card" for Ronaldo before, this "first-level star card" was naturally used on Messi.
After activating the card, Chen Ran called Messi to the sidelines as he took advantage of the dead ball.
"Leo, in the next game, I will give you the 'free fire right'. As long as you think the time is right, you can shoot directly and don't have any worries."
"Uh...Boss, are you telling it seriously?"
Messi, who was just in his early twenties, looked at Chen Ran silly. Except when he was in Lamacia, he had never received the "free fire right" since he was promoted to the adult team.
Messi missed the feeling that the whole team was centered on him and he could play whatever he wanted during the Lamacia era.
"Of course. In the next game, you can shoot as much as you want. Also, you tell Ronaldo to make more breakthroughs and create more free kicks in the future. He will take all the free kicks today."
"Oh, OK, boss, I will definitely bring your words to Chris."
After explaining to Messi, Chen Ran returned to the bench and sat down.
For today's game, he has used a "Hawkeye Guardian Card", a "Level 1 Frontier Card" and a "Free Kick Master Card".
Except for not daring to use the "First-level Chicken Blood Card", they almost caught up with the importance of the Champions League final.
Chen Ran has done everything he can do, and the next thing he will do depends on the performance of the players on the court.
Ronaldo has been convinced of Chen Ran's on-the-spot command ability in recent years.
After receiving Chen Ran's latest order, he immediately strengthened his dribbling breakthrough.
Unfortunately, after Ronaldo scored a free kick in the first half, Manchester United players who learned their lessons were very cautious.
Anyway, there are many people, and if one person can't defend, there will be two people, and if two people can't do it, there will be three people.
While double-teaming against Ronaldo, he didn't step easily, but just blocked his way to Manchester United's penalty area and drove him to the sideline.
After several sudden incidents, Ronaldo found that he had poor results, so he had no choice but to pass the ball to Messi, who was responding nearby.
