In order to prepare for this Champions League match, Mourinho watched all the videos of Crystal Palace's recent matches.

So, when Mourinho saw that there were no forward names such as Tony, Dzeko, Cavani, etc. in the starting list of Crystal Palace, he knew that Chen Ran was going to use his new move to fight him.

After watching the game video, Mourinho also specifically studied Chen Ran's new trick.

But soon he discovered that this frontless formation was really difficult to deal with.

Because all the attacks of this tactical tactics are initiated by the back, there is no way to be prepared in advance.

Moreover, whether it is Ronaldo, Kaka or Messi in Crystal Palace, they are all players with strong personal ability to break through the ball.

Once they are allowed to rush, it is difficult to stop them from dribbling beyond fouls.

It can be said that the technical characteristics of these three players complement each other with the frontless formation, which is simply a perfect match.

Mourinho, who racked his brains and did not come up with a good idea, could only helplessly order Sneider, Baptista and Diyala, the midfielder, to put all his energy into defense, and then

Another line of defense is set up in front of the line of defense.

So, when the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the first half, everyone soon discovered that Real Madrid's formation was seriously out of touch.

The defense line was very close to the midfield, but the three people on the front line were thrown in front alone.

All attacks were basically initiated by Sneider and others using long passes from the middle and backcourt, which was simple and crude.

"What is Mourinho doing? How can he arrange his troops like this? How come his level has dropped so much in less than a season in La Liga?"

Seeing the Real Madrid players standing on the court, Southgate felt incredible. Although Mourinho was a staunch opponent of Crystal Palace before, his strong coaching ability is still recognized by everyone.

"Ahem, I guess Mourinho was scared by the new tricks my boss used recently."

"New trick?"

Southgate looked at Guardiola in surprise, and then reacted, "Are you talking about the front-facing formation?"

"That's right. We don't think so, but as the head coach of Crystal Palace's opponents, they must have carefully studied the boss's new trick. At least so far, they seem to have not found any good way to deal with it."

"It should be like that. So it's probably Mourinho's helpless move to defend our back and attack, so he had to add another line of defense in front of the back line."

Simeone answered the words at this time.

He also imagined that he was the head coach of Crystal Palace's opponent, but he racked his brains and couldn't come up with any good way to deal with the Wufeng Formation.

At that moment, he was extremely glad that he and his boss stood aside.

Being an opponent to the boss is really painful.

Although Mourinho's response strategy is a bit stupid, it also weakens Real Madrid's offensive threat. But it has to be said that by increasing the number of defenders and compressing space, it has indeed achieved good results.

At least from the beginning of the game, as long as Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi launch an offensive, they will immediately fall into the double-team of Real Madrid players, and it is difficult to create a threatening shooting opportunity.

Chen Ran naturally saw the situation on the field.

However, he was not in a hurry.

This game was played at Real Madrid's home court, Bernabeu Stadium. How could Real Madrid fans, who are known for being picky, allow the team to play such an ugly game?

At that time, Chen Ran would not need to take action. The booing of more than 80,000 fans in the game would force Mourinho to change his tactics.

Of course, with Mourinho's stubborn and arrogant personality, he may also be able to continue to stick to his tactical style under pressure.

Chen Ran is not unprepared to make a comeback for this possibility. He is his best move to take action, and it will be too late to change the formation when the time comes.

So, more than 80,000 fans at the Bernabeu Stadium saw an extremely ugly game.

Most of the players in Real Madrid huddled in their half to defend. After finally getting the ball, they went straight to Van Nistra Ruyin in front.

Pepe, who was suspended in the Premier League, was resting his energy. Today, Chen Ran sent him to be responsible for personal control of Nistel Lu Yin.

The two people are of the same height, one is 187CM and the other is 188CM, and Pepe's physical strength is not inferior to Van Nistra Luyin.

Under his interference, Van Nistra Ruyin had very few opportunities to receive the ball successfully, let alone Robben and Raul on both sides.

Gradually, Real Madrid fell into a vicious cycle on the court.

First, I tried my best to defend, and after getting the ball, I launched a long pass to attack, and then continued to defend after the ball was cut off...

Such a passive and ugly game scene immediately angered more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium.

The booed quickly spread from the scattered individual fans to all the Bernabeu stands until they resounded through the sky.

"These Real Madrid fans are really impatient."

When did Southgate, an English native bun, see such a scene? Faced with the overwhelming booing, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Mourinho.

As for Guardiola and Simeone, one was originally a Spaniard and the other played in Spain, so there was no big fuss about this situation.

"Haha, these Real Madrid fans have always been like this. Not only do they have to win, but they also have to win beautiful things. Capello helped Real Madrid win the La Liga championship last year, and was also swept out because of his emphasis on defense."

Speaking of the arch rival Real Madrid, Guardiola, the Barcelona man with a strong root, certainly won't have anything good to say.

On the sidelines, listening to the loud booing, Chen Ran glanced at the Real Madrid bench not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little gloating.

These Real Madrid fans are really powerful. Unexpectedly, they couldn't help but burst out before the first half of the game ended. Now, it depends on whether Mourinho can withstand the pressure.

On the other side, Mourinho stood alone on the sidelines, his face turned ashen.

This is not the first time he has experienced this scene since he coached Real Madrid.

The last time was when he faced his stalemate Barcelona. Because Barcelona's attack power was too strong, Mourinho formulated a defensive counterattack tactic for Real Madrid.

The passive defense of the whole game also caused overwhelming booing from more than 80,000 fans of the Bernabeu.

After the game, although Real Madrid tied Barcelona in that game, Madrid's media still criticized him.

Even the club chairman Calderon talked to him personally, reminding him not to repeat Capello's mistakes.

Now, similar scenes have evoked bad memories of Mourinho.

After a cold snorting, he simply returned to the bench and sat down, as if the boos that filled the entire court were not the same.

Mourinho's reaction was like adding fuel to the fire, further angering more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans at the entire Bernabeu Stadium.

The booing lingering in the stadium also escalated from deafening to resounding through the sky.

It was not until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half and Mourinho walked into the player's passage that the booed finally stopped.

During the halftime break, although Crystal Palace did not score in the first half and the score on the court was still 0:0, Chen Ran was not in a hurry.

He just injected some blood into the team members as usual and did not make any personnel adjustments.

In the Real Madrid locker room, the air pressure was so low that it was scary. The players all lowered their heads and did their own things, and they did not make any other sounds except for the slight breathing.

Mourinho sat quietly in his seat with a gloomy face and said nothing. Within three meters around, no one dared to approach.

At this time, Raul, as the captain of Real Madrid, hesitated for a moment and finally walked towards Mourinho's position.

"Boss, are you okay?"

As a player who has played for Real Madrid for many years, Raul knew how high the requirements of Real Madrid fans were.

Raul also felt very sympathetic about Mourinho's current situation.

He knew that strengthening defense when facing a strong team is the right decision.

But in Real Madrid, the outcome of going against fans is usually not very good.

The most typical example is Capello last season. Under his leadership, Real Madrid won the long-lost La Liga championship. As a result, he was driven away by the club because he blindly emphasized that defense did not meet the fans' requirements.

Judging from the contacts over the past half season, Raul believes that Mourinho is also a head coach who can bring championships to Real Madrid.

Therefore, he doesn't want Mourinho to be kicked out like Capello because he is against the fans.

"Oh, I'm fine. Raul, what's wrong with you? Sit down and say."

Seeing that it was Raul who was walking over, Mourinho patted the seat beside him and said with a kind look.

Mourinho is still very satisfied with his captain.

He is experienced, capable, diligent, and can execute his own orders seriously. He is his right-hand assistant in managing the locker room.

"Uh...Boss, the fans are responding a little bit loud now. Do you think they meet their requirements?"

After hesitating for a moment, Raul finally said what he wanted to say.

"Haha, what ball do those fans know? Mr. Capello went against their demands, and after four years of separation, he won the La Liga championship for Real Madrid again. I think he is my role model."

Mourinho sneered and curled his lips disdainfully.

Seeing the players in the locker room with their heads squeezing but their ears swayed, Mourinho simply stood up and walked to the center of the locker room.

"Okay, I'll lift my head up one by one, and you've heard what I said. The second half of the game will continue to be implemented according to the tactics of the first half. Anyone with different opinions can raise it now."

After saying that, Mourinho looked around.

Although Real Madrid players all raised their heads, no one dared to look at him.

Therefore, since neither Chen Ran nor Mourinho adjusted their teams' tactical style, fans saw the same game scene as in the first half at the beginning of the second half.

Soon, the Real Madrid fans who found Mourinho's obsessed with it broke out again. After a fifteen-minute break, even more violent boos sounded in the Bernabeu stadium.

"Good guy, Mourinho is really a warrior."

Seeing Mourinho standing on the sidelines facing more than 80,000 booed him alone, Chen Ran also gave him a secret praise.

Since Mourinho plans to take it on his shoulder, he will add another straw to him later to see if he can still hold on.

After waiting for about ten minutes, when the game was sixty minutes, Chen Ran decided to take action when he saw Mourinho still had no action.

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

"Chris, the team's formation will become 4312 next. You and Messi will be paired with two forwards, and Kaka will serve as the front midfielder."

"Your mission is to stare at Cannavaro and repeatedly attack, while Messi's breakthrough is aimed at Metzeld, do you understand?"

"Uh...Boss, you're so bad, right?"

Hearing Chen Ran's order, Ronaldo's eyes lit up.

Whether in terms of speed, technology or height, he completely crushed Cannavaro.

Messi is relatively only 170CM tall, with good skills, fast speed and flexibility. Messi, who is 193CM tall, is a standard German central defender. It is simply a disaster to let Messi defend Messi.

.

Thinking of this, Ronaldo immediately simulated the scene of Metzeld being knocked to the ground by Messi.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you know if you follow my orders?"

"clear!"

Soon, Mourinho discovered the tactical changes of Crystal Palace.

"It seems that Chen Ran has made a move."

Turning his head and looking at the Crystal Palace bench not far away, Mourinho couldn't help frowning.

He also discovered Chen Ran's intention and used Ronaldo and Messi to attack his two centre-backs.

Cannavaro is better, with right-back Ramos's conciliatory helping to help defend, and Ronaldo won't get any advantage in the first half.

But Metzelder is very troublesome. This guy and Messi are not on the same level in terms of speed and flexibility.

Even with left-back Marcelo recovering and assisting defense in time, he almost broke into Messi several times.

Seeing that Ronaldo and Messi had a good effect before the sudden outbreak, they completely restrained the four defenders of Real Madrid. Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction, and it seemed that he could take the second step.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to die, Chen Ran called Evra to the sidelines again.

"Patrice, you and Macon will strengthen their assists from the wing. Now Ronaldo and Messi have completely restrained the four defenders of Real Madrid. This is a good opportunity for you two to perform, do you understand?

”

"clear!"
