Ancelotti couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when he saw that he had set up the team for most of the game, but was finally scored by Crystal Palace.

However, as an experienced veteran, Ancelotti quickly adjusted his mentality and turned to look at the bench.

Shevchenko and Anelka, Chelsea's two top strikers sit on the bench.

Because Ancelotti had to send a bus before, he only sent Drogba who had a more active defensive attitude.

Now that we are already behind, we can only make a desperate move.

Therefore, Chen Ran soon saw that Chelsea replaced Essien and Carvalho with Shevchenko and Anelka, and the formation also changed from 541 to 433.

"Ancelotti is going to fight hard!"

Chen Ran, who saw through Ancelotti's intentions at a glance, immediately turned around and called Southgate to his side.

"Gareth, you arrange for Mascherano to warm up now and replace Messi with him later, do you understand?"

"Okay, boss."

After assigning tasks to Southgate, Chen Ran took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to call Alves, who was closest to him, to the sidelines.

"Dani, I will replace Messi with Mascherano later, and Mascherano and Yaya Toure will partner as a double midfielder. At that time, you will drop back to play right back."

"Then the team's formation changes back to 4231 again. You remember to tell Ronaldo to drop back and play left midfielder, and Ribery moved to the right as right midfielder. Do you understand?"

"I understand, boss, don't worry."

After patting his chest and giving Chen Ran a guarantee, Alves turned around and ran back to the court to convey Chen Ran's order.

On the Chelsea side, Carlo Ancelotti, who had already put all his money on the table, was always paying attention to every move on the Crystal Palace bench.

When he saw Chen Ran calling Alves to the sidelines, he knew that this difficult opponent was going to take action.

Soon, Crystal Palace followed Chelsea and used up all their substitution quotas.

This substitution adjustment immediately blocked Chelsea's newly emerging offensive momentum.

In the stands, this Premier League dialogue also attracted many media reporters. Watching the head coaches of the two teams competing with each other, the reporters excitedly discussed and took notes. This was all for writing a manuscript.

What a great material.

"Crystal Palace has changed its formation several times in this game, and there is no confusion at all. It is so smooth. That Chinese player is really amazing now."

"Yes, from the opening of 4231, to 352, to 3133, and finally back to 4231, it was a seamless switch."

"Tsk, tsk, this shows that the Chinese guy has now trained the Crystal Palace team to perfection."

"Haha, no matter how well-trained he is, what can he do? Haven't you seen that not long after the start of this season, Crystal Palace has three main players injured and missing. With such an intensive schedule, sooner or later they will be unable to withstand the collapse."

"You are right. After this game with Chelsea, Crystal Palace will have to face Manchester United and Lyon. After three consecutive tough games in a short period of time, they are probably almost exhausted."

"Don't forget that in addition to Chelsea and Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are also performing very well this season. Coupled with the golden thigh of Manchester City, it is impossible for Crystal Palace to dominate the Premier League."

"Haha, isn't this great? I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

...

The reporters in the stands could easily discuss the game there, but Ancelotti standing on the sidelines was a little anxious.

Although he has now sent three forwards: Drogba, Shevchenko and Anelka, after Crystal Palace made substitutions and adjusted its contraction formation, it has been unable to break through Crystal Palace's defense.

It has to be said that Shevchenko is indeed not suitable for the three-forward formation. Shevchenko, who was placed in the right wing position, was completely unable to display his due abilities.

But Ancelotti was sick and rushed to the hospital. Now he no longer cares about so many things and just wants to put his strongest player on the field.

In the end, with the united efforts of all Crystal Palace players, they successfully withstood Chelsea's crazy counterattack.

With Franck Ribery's goal, Crystal Palace defeated Chelsea 1:0 at home.

While winning this powerful dialogue, Chen Ran also got a "level one blood recovery card" from the system.

In other matches of this round of Premier League, Manchester United defeated West Ham United 2:0 at Old Trafford, and Liverpool also defeated Portsmouth 1:0 at Anfield.

Arsenal was tied 4:4 by Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby, while Manchester City lost 0:2 away to Middlesbrough.

After the tenth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace continues to occupy the top spot in the standings, while Liverpool is still one point behind in second place.

Chelsea, on the other hand, has fallen to third place by six points behind Crystal Palace due to consecutive losses to Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

Thousands of miles away in China, countless fans who watched the game between Crystal Palace and Chelsea gathered in Tieba.

"Crystal Palace's games are not as good as before. The most important thing is the half-time offensive and defensive drills. Now even a strong team like Chelsea is sitting in the backcourt with a bus, playing for 90 minutes before scoring a goal. The game is really boring.

very."

"Haha, you are satisfied upstairs. Doesn't this just show that Crystal Palace is too strong? Do you think anyone can make Chelsea drive the bus?"

"What you said above is correct. In the past, weak teams used to put up big numbers when facing Crystal Palace. But since the beginning of this season, strong teams like Chelsea and Lyon have started to put up big numbers when facing Crystal Palace.

The bus is here.”

"Crystal Palace will face Manchester United next. Now we have to see whether Sir Alex will also let Manchester United set up a bus."

"Holy shit, that's not true, is it? Manchester United is also an old and wealthy club. With Sir Alex's status, how can he do such a shameful thing?"

"Haha, let's wait and see."

...

England, Manchester Club, head coach Ferguson's office, just watched the video of the game between Crystal Palace and Chelsea, Ferguson and Queiroz sat together drinking coffee.

"Alex, now even Chelsea has started setting up buses when they play against Crystal Palace. We will play against Crystal Palace in two days. What are you going to do?"

Recalling the game video he just watched, Queiroz couldn't help but feel a little confused. Is Crystal Palace now so powerful?

"Carlos, what do you want to say?"

He raised his head and glanced at Queiroz. Ferguson knew this friend for many years very well.

"Alex, why don't we also learn Chelsea's tactics? You see, there are examples of Lyon and Chelsea in front of us. We use the same tactics and no one will say anything."

"Haha, can Lyon and Chelsea be compared with Manchester United?"

After hearing Queiroz's suggestion, Ferguson smiled disdainfully.

"Carlos, please remember that no team in this world is qualified for Manchester United to use the tactics of setting up a bus. Do you understand?"

"..."

Queiroz opened his mouth, but in the end he just nodded silently and said nothing.

...

Two days later, on November 2, in the eleventh round of the Premier League, Chen Ran took the Crystal Palace team to Old Trafford again.

This powerful dialogue between Manchester United and Crystal Palace naturally attracted the attention of countless fans, and the Old Trafford Stadium, which can accommodate 76,000 people, was packed.

When Ferguson walked into the stadium and heard the fans chanting his name in unison, he knew that he was right to reject Queiroz's proposal of setting up a bus tactic.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United's home ground, with a bus lined up in front of 76,000 fans, Ferguson could imagine the fate of being scolded to death by the fans. This would be fatal to his status in the hearts of Manchester United fans.

of blow.

The reason why the Glazer family still retains Ferguson is because of his great influence among Manchester United fans.

Football is never just a matter of winning or losing on the field, it involves too many interests.

Ferguson is not that stupid to give up the huge interests behind him just to win or lose a game.

Therefore, even though he knew that Queiroz's suggestion was more pertinent, Ferguson still put together an attack-oriented, Manchester United's strongest lineup.

Even if you lose, you must lose vigorously!

Left wing Tevez, center Berbatov, right wing Rooney

Central midfielder Hargreaves, central midfielder Scholes, central midfielder Carrick

Left back Heinze, center back Ferdinand, center back O'Shea, right back Gary Neville

goalkeeper kuczak

On the Crystal Palace side, although the physical condition of the main players was not very good due to fatigue from continuous battles, Chen Ran still fielded the strongest lineup that could play.

Forward Cristiano Ronaldo, Forward Toni

Left midfielder Franck Ribery, attacking midfielder Modric, right midfielder Messi

Defensive midfielder Yaya Toure, defensive midfielder Mascherano

Left center back Chiellini, center back Thiago Silva, right center back Pepe

Cech

Chen Ran was already mentally prepared for his opponent to continue showing up, but when he saw Manchester United's lineup, he felt happy.

There are three forwards, Berbatov, Tevez and Rooney. Ferguson is going to press out and attack.

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Manchester United really attacked from all fronts.

At this moment, Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief. The team he was playing against was almost sick. Ferguson was such a good person.

Seeing that Manchester United dared to play against them, the overjoyed Crystal Palace players suddenly became excited, and the two teams immediately started a fierce battle in the midfield.

There were no full-backs in the 4-3-3 formation that Ferguson arranged for Manchester United. This allowed Crystal Palace's two full-backs, Franck Ribery and Messi, to directly attack Manchester United's full-backs.

First, Messi on the right wing ran wildly along the sideline with the ball.

Manchester United's midfielder Hargreaves, who was close to this side, couldn't keep up with Messi's speed. As soon as he rushed over to steal the ball from Messi's feet, Messi played a fried meatball and left him behind.

Can't catch up.

Seeing this situation, left back Heinze had no choice but to take the initiative and step forward.

Not only are Heinze and Messi fellow Argentinians, they are also teammates in the national team.

Heinze is very clear about Messi's breakthrough ability.

On Messi's side, he saw the big brother of the national team, Heinze, rushing to intercept him.

Messi showed no mercy and pushed the ball forward, then passed Heinze.

Heinze immediately understood Messi's intention, which was to compete with him for speed.

Knowing in his heart that he would definitely not be able to outrun Messi, Heinze didn't hesitate at all. He directly reached out and grabbed Messi's jersey, and stopped Messi even if he committed a foul.

"Hiss!"

Because Heinze used too much force, he tore a long gash in Messi's jersey behind his back.

But Messi didn't care so much, just took the ball and continued to run forward.

Seeing this situation, the referee who had put the whistle in his mouth and was about to call a foul immediately changed his mind. While indicating an advantageous attack, he continued to chase forward.

Just like that, Messi rushed into Manchester United's penalty area with style.

Realizing that the situation was not going well, Ferdinand had no choice but to leave Tony, who was responsible for guarding him, and rush over to make up the defense.

Seeing that there was a gap in Toni's area, Messi immediately passed the ball across.

At this time, O'Shea, who was responsible for guarding Ronaldo, realized that the situation was critical. He quickly dropped Ronaldo and rushed over with a flying shovel, trying to fly to block the hole of the gun to block Toni's shot.

Although Tony is a big center with a height of 193cm, he is by no means a player who only relies on his body to act recklessly.

Although he also wanted to hit the goal directly, when he noticed O'Shea's movement, he immediately changed his shot into a pass, knocked the ball with his heel, and gave the ball to Ronaldo behind him.

At this time, O'Shea had already blocked Toney's shot, while Manchester United right back Gary Neville's attention was entirely focused on Crystal Palace left midfielder Franck Ribery.

According to Chen Ran's tactical requirements, when the ball is passed from the right, the left midfielder must immediately rush into the opponent's penalty area and be responsible for outflanking the ball from behind.

At this time, Ribery was strictly following Chen Ran's tactical requirements, sprinting from the left into Manchester United's penalty area.

Therefore, Gary Neville is currently chasing Ribery with all his life, without realizing that there is a huge gap in Ronaldo's side.

Naturally, Ronaldo would not let go of such a good opportunity.

But just when Ronaldo was about to hit the goal, Scholes ran all the way back from midfield.

Without any time to think, Scholes just went down to the ground and tackled the ball.

At this moment, Ronaldo's foot that was about to hit the goal happened to swing over.

"Bang!"

"ah!"

With a scream, Ronaldo fell to the ground, and his right foot, which was about to shoot, hit the sole of Scholes' stretched out shoe.

Seeing Ronaldo injured and falling to the ground, Chen Ran's heart suddenly "thumped" and he immediately rushed from the bench to the sidelines.

You know, the soles of football shoes have spikes.
