"Goal..."

The deadlock was finally broken. Chen Ran watched Crouch celebrating wildly from the sidelines and breathed a sigh of relief.

Once you have a ball in hand, everything will be easy to do next.

Chen Ran now hopes that Sheffield United will continue to stay behind. It is best to wait for the whole game, so that he can smoothly bag the three points.

"Josep..."

Chen Ran called Guardiola over from the celebrating crowd.

"Boss, what are your instructions?"

Now Guardiola is so impressed by Chen Ran's on-the-field adjustments, the effect is really immediate.

After Chen Ran asked the full-backs to give up defense and attack with all their strength, he scored within five minutes, breaking through the iron barrel formation set up by Sheffield United in one fell swoop.

"Tell Chiellini and Maicon to stop attacking and go back to the opening tactics. Now the initiative is with us, it depends on whether Sheffield United can come out. Also, tell Ronaldo, don't be anxious, we

We are already in the lead, winning the game is the most important thing.”

Chen Ran patted Guardiola on the shoulder and pushed Guardiola, who was still in a daze, back to the court.

Guardiola looked confused, boss, you are too utilitarian.

How can a change of formation only take five minutes?

Shouldn't we strike while the iron is hot, pursue the enemy while he is victorious, and kill him while he is sick?

Of course, Guardiola doesn't understand Chinese, but that's probably what he meant.

Although he was still a little confused, but now Chen Ran said what he said, Guardiola still followed Chen Ran's instructions to the letter.

Therefore, both Sheffield United head coach Chris and the entire audience discovered that after Crystal Palace scored the goal, the full-backs returned to their appearance at the beginning and no longer pressed forward crazily.

Everything that happened five minutes ago didn't seem to exist.

Except that the score on the big screen changed to 1:0, everything else remained the same.

Fxxxk, this Chinese guy is so despicable, so shameless, and so cunning.

Chris glared fiercely at Chen Ran in the distance. He knew what Chen Ran wanted to do.

It's nothing more than waiting for him to change formation, waiting for Sheffield United to press forward and attack, and then Crystal Palace can enter their familiar rhythm and use their sharp defensive counterattack tactics.

If Sheffield United remains unchanged, Crystal Palace can comfortably get three points.

Chris was so angry that his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do about Chen Ran.

Now that the score is behind, if we press the attack, we will fall into Chen Ran's trap.

After hesitating for a long time, Chris decided to continue.

After all, there is no shame in losing to the league leader by one goal away from home.

As a result, the fourth round of the English Championship ended with Crystal Palace playing a ninety-minute half-time offensive and defensive drill.

1:0, Crystal Palace’s fourth consecutive victory.

Chen Ran once again earned 1 million euros.

"Crystal Palace won four consecutive games without conceding a goal and continues to lead the Championship standings."

"Sheffield United gave up attacking and defended throughout the game, but Crystal Palace still got three points."

"Is there no team left in the Championship that can stop Crystal Palace from advancing?"

"The formation changed and scored three points in five minutes. The Chinese's exquisite command destroyed Sheffield United's iron barrel formation."

"Magical formation changes, this is the art of command."

As expected, after Crystal Palace won four consecutive victories, the media continued to praise it again.

But inside the Crystal Palace, Chen Ran had already started a new move.

The day after the game, Chen Ran uncharacteristically stood in the center of the training ground in person.

"I bet everyone hasn't forgotten the first half hour of yesterday's game, right?"

Chen Ran glanced at the players standing in front of him. Many of them were too guilty to look into his eyes.

"No......"

Whispered answers came from the players one after another.

"We have done well recently. The media outside are talking about how great our Crystal Palace is every day. Everyone must be very happy, right?"

"..."

It sounded like there was something wrong with the conversation, so no one dared to respond to Chen Ran this time.

"Yesterday's game, I believe everyone saw it clearly. Because of our good results and because of the daily praise from the media, every team is now carefully looking for our weaknesses. Moreover, someone has already found one of them, and thought

How to deal with it.”

"If I hadn't changed my formation in time yesterday, maybe Sheffield United would have taken away a point from our home court. What's more likely is that other teams will take the same approach when they encounter us in the future. If it's always a draw,

How can we get promoted to the Premier League?"

"Boss, aren't you here?"

At this time a voice whispered.

Chen Ran followed the voice and looked over, and it turned out to be Cristiano Ronaldo.

Since this guy joined Crystal Palace, from the pre-season warm-up match until yesterday, with his speed and skills, he has broken through countless people on the wing and is full of confidence.

However, yesterday, Sheffield United's double-team defense against him made Ronaldo feel frustrated for the first time. He felt as if he was tied to an iron chain, and his previously invincible stunt could no longer be used.

After being intercepted several times, he became more and more impatient as he played, for which he even received his first yellow card since arriving in England.

However, all this changed after Chen Ran changed his formation.

Crystal Palace scored quickly, so there was no need to worry.

Ronaldo's mentality also relaxed. Although the subsequent games did not expand the results, the Crystal Palace players calmed down and played with ease and became more comfortable.

This also made Ronaldo feel first-hand what the art of command is and how important it is to have a good coach.

"I can't play football for you!"

Chen Ran glared at Ronaldo angrily.

"So, you should all have realized by now that we are not without weaknesses, and our opponents are not stupid. We are not qualified to be complacent. We don't want to know our name after being praised by the media. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

This time the team members answered loudly.

After training the players, Chen Ran took the three assistant coaches aside.

"Gareth, when practicing your tactics today, add a full-back pressure, use Ronaldo and Ribery as bait, and attack with all your strength."

"Is it like what the boss asked you to do when you changed the formation in yesterday's game?"

Southgate also reacted quickly and immediately remembered Chen Ran's five-minute show yesterday.

"Yes, that's it. As the number of games increases, our opponents' research on our team will only become more and more thorough. We must prepare more back-ups."

"I understand, boss."

"Josep, you can't relax in your tactical drills. When I saw Sheffield United's formation yesterday, I was thinking, if the team can master your style of play, they won't be afraid of their opponents staying in the backcourt.

Defending to the death.”

"Don't worry, boss, I will hurry up and train."

After finishing today's training, Chen Ran had just returned to the office when he saw Stephen walking in quickly.
