Seeing Crystal Palace score another goal, Ferguson was not in a hurry.

In his heart, he had already accepted the reality that Crystal Palace is above Manchester United. In addition, the Glazer family has been pulling their legs, so it was expected that the team could not play Crystal Palace.

Looking back at Manchester United's bench, Ferguson called veteran Scholes up.

After a simple warm-up, he replaced Hargreaves with Scholes and wanted to use Scholes' offensive ability to make a last-ditch effort.

Seeing that Ferguson had used up all the substitution quotas, Chen Ran finally took action.

"Garrez."

"Boss, what do you need me to do?"

"You go and let Mascherano, Fabregas and Alves warm up, and use the three of them to replace Kaka, Modric and Messi."

"Mascherano, Fabregas and Yaya Toure form three midfielders together, Alves replaces Messi to play the right forward, and the team's formation has also changed from 4231 to 451."

"Okay, boss."

After Crystal Palace took the initiative to shrink its formation, Manchester United gradually began to take the initiative on the field.

But at this time, there was little time left for the game. Before Manchester United could see results, the referee on duty blew the whistle to the end of the game.

In the end, with Tony, Ronaldo and Messi's goals, Crystal Palace defeated Manchester United 3:1 at the Emirates Stadium.

While winning the game, Chen Ran also obtained a "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card" from the system.

In other matches in this round of Premier League, Chelsea defeated Sunderland 3-1 away, and Liverpool beat Stoke City 4-0 at Anfield.

Arsenal defeated Bolton 4:2 at home, while Manchester City lost to Everton 0:2 at home.

After the second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal were the only three teams that won all the two games. Arsenal once again maintained its top position in the standings with a goal difference.

Just three days later, on August 23, Crystal Palace ushered in the third round of the Premier League, this time they continued to play against Everton at home.

Because on August 28, Crystal Palace will go to Monaco to participate in the 2008-2009 European Super Cup. On August 30, in the fourth round of the Premier League, they will go away to challenge Chelsea.

So Chen Ran had to rotate the starting lineup significantly in the game against Everton.

Fortunately, Crystal Palace's substitute lineup is also very strong. With the goals of Cavani and Kompany, Crystal Palace defeated Everton 2:1 at home.

While winning three consecutive victories in the new season, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Blood Recovery Card" from the system.

In other matches in this round of Premier League, Chelsea beat Fulham 2:0 away, and Arsenal defeated Portsmouth 4:1 at home.

Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 5-0 away, and Manchester City also defeated Wolves 1-0 at home.

Among the strong teams, only Liverpool lost again. This time, they actually lost 1:3 to Aston Villa at Anfield.

Liverpool has lost two games just after the new season started. They only lost two games in total in the last season.

It seems that in addition to being unable to sign ups during the summer transfer period, Liverpool has also encountered big internal troubles.

......

However, these are not what Chen Ran cares about now.

After playing against Everton, he took the entire Crystal Palace team to Monaco.

Crystal Palace, which has participated in the European Super Cup for several consecutive years, is now very familiar with Louis II Stadium in Monaco.

Their opponent this year is the UEFA Europa League champion last season, the Donetsk miners from Ukraine.

Unlike traditional Eastern European teams, this Donetsk miners team has many excellent Brazilian players.

Head coach Romanian Lucescu organically combines Samba football with Eastern European football.

In the Donetsk Miners, Brazilian players attack near the attack, while Eastern European players are responsible for the defense. Judging from their ability to win the UEFA Europa League championship last season, the effect is obviously very good.

Faced with Crystal Palace, the most powerful team recognized in the world, Lucescu also made careful preparations.

He sent all the main players of Donetsk miners to see how big the gap between his team and the world's top level is.

Forward Fernandinho, forward Luis Adriano

Left forward William, back midfielder Hubsman, back midfielder Olekowski, right forward Yinercinho

Left-back Lat, central defender Ziglinsky, central defender Coochelle, right-back Serner

Goalkeeper Piatov

At Crystal Palace, after the Premier League rest, Chen Ran was able to send all the main players.

Center Tony

Left forward Ronaldo, front midfielder Kaka, right forward Messi

The back midfielder Yaya Toure, the back midfielder Modric

Left-back Chiellini, central defender Thiago Silva, central defender Vidic, right-back Macon

Goalkeeper Chech

To Chen Ran's surprise, Lucescu did not use the bus tactics that ordinary weak teams used to face Crystal Palace, and he continued to use the 442 formation with balanced offense and defense.

I have to admit that Lucescu's vision of choosing Brazilian players is indeed good.

On the side of the Donetsk miners, both the two forwards Fernandinho and Luis Adriano, as well as the two full-backs William and Yinlsinho, they all performed very actively.

Although they are still unable to reach the level of top players, considering the marginal status of the Ukrainian league, it is very rare for Lucescu to be able to buy these Brazilian players at an affordable price.

Especially when Chen Ran remembered that in addition to William and others now, the Donetsk miners later bought Brazilian players such as Douglas Costa and Teixeira.

For a moment, Chen Ran even had the idea of ​​digging Lucescu to the Crystal Palace.

I didn't want Lucescu to be a coach, but I wanted him to be responsible for the scouting work of Crystal Palace Club.

After all, Chen Ran's advantage of rebirth will become smaller and smaller as time goes by.

Preparing for the future and making some preparations in advance is the long-term plan.

Although the Donetsk miners' players worked very hard, due to the gap in strength, the initiative in the game was still firmly held by Crystal Palace.

When the game reached the 32nd minute, Cech hugged Luis Adriano's shot and immediately sent the ball accurately to Kaka in the frontcourt with a big foot.

Kaka took the ball with the trend and started his best high-speed breakthrough.

After passing the back midfielder of Hubsman and Olekowski, two Donetsk miners, in succession, he did not continue to break into the opponent's penalty area, but instead directly shot near the penalty area arc.

"Bang!"

The ball flew to the upper right corner of the Donetsk Miner goal without rotating.

Goalkeeper Piatov reacted quickly and flew up and rushed over.

Unfortunately, Kaka's shot angle was very clever, and Piatov tried his best but couldn't reach the ball.

“GOAL!

!

!”

With Kaka's long-range shot, Crystal Palace led the Donetsk miners 1:0.

Although the following game was very intense, neither team could score again until the end of the first half.

During the intermission, Chen Ran did not make substitution adjustments on Crystal Palace.

On the side of the Donetsk miners, Lucescu replaced Fernandinho with Judson and replaced Yinrsinho with Agahova.

The formation has not changed and they are all substitutions, and whether they are new players or substituted players, they are all Brazilians.

The second half was still very intense, but even if the Donetsk miners tried their best, they could not break through the goal guarded by Cech.

On the contrary, when the game was in the 67th minute, Thiago Silva received a free kick from Modric, jumped high and smashed the ball into the goal guarded by Piatov again.

.

“GOAL!

!

!”

With Thiago Silva's goal, Crystal Palace led the Donetsk miners 2:0.

As soon as the second ball was scored, the Donetsk miners were a little discouraged.

Especially those Brazilians on the offensive line, their running and fighting are obviously not as active as before.

On the sidelines, Lucescu was also helpless when he saw this situation.

There is no way, this is the nature of Brazilian players. Most Brazilians are lazy by nature and their tactical execution is not as good as European players. There is no problem playing with a tailwind, but it is a bit difficult to play against the tailwind.

The Donetsk Miners' midfielders are all Brazilians.

Chen Ran, who also discovered the Donetsk miner problem, also called Southgate to his side at this time.

"Garrez, you'll inform Valdi now, Evra and Mascherano, and replace Messi with them later, Ronaldo and Modric."

"The team's formation remains unchanged. Evra takes over Ronaldo to play the left forward, Vardy takes over Messi to play the right forward, and Mascherano takes over Modric to play the back midfielder. Do you understand?"

"I understand, boss."

Because only one day after this game, Crystal Palace will go away to play the fourth round of the Premier League with Chelsea, so after leading two goals, Chen Ran now has to replace several core players in advance to rest.

The core of the offensive attack on the Crystal Palace side was immediately relieved a lot of pressure on the Donetsk miners' defense line.

Especially on the two sides, Evra and Vardy obviously could not completely suppress the opponent's two full-backs.

Lucescu, on the sidelines, immediately seized this rare opportunity and ordered the Donetsk miners' players to push forward the attack.

For a moment, the situation on the field changed suddenly, and the Donetsk miners gradually took the initiative on the field in the final stage of the game.

Fortunately, Chen Ran replaced only the core offensive players of Crystal Palace, and the main players were all in the midfield and backcourt.

After resisting the last twenty minutes of the Donetsk miners' attack, Crystal Palace finally defeated Donets 2:0 at the Louis II Stadium of Monaco with the goals of Kaka and Thiago Silva.

Ke Miner.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the European Super Cup championship, and the special prize of the championship is 10 million euros."

After the game, Chen Ran and the players of Crystal Palace had no intention of celebrating and flew back to London overnight.

After returning to London, Chen Ran did not let the players go home, but instead brought the whole team to the hotel to sleep and rest.

The subsequent training is also mainly about restoration and relaxation.

On August 30, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Chen Ran brought Crystal Palace to Chelsea's home court Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea, who does not need to participate in the European Super Cup, is waiting for it. Ancelotti has also sent out all the main lineups to prepare to take advantage of the bad schedule of Crystal Palace.

Forward Drogba, forward Anelka

Front waist Pirlo

Central forward Deco, central forward Barack Barack, central forward Lampard

Left-back Ashley Cole, central defender Terry, central defender Carvalho, right-back Yin Wanovic

Goalkeeper Kudicini

On Crystal Palace, because the main players have just finished playing in the European Super Cup and have not recovered, Chen Ran could only rotate the starting lineup significantly.

Forward Suarez, forward Valdy

Central forward Mascherano, central forward Fabregas, central forward Beckham

Left-back Evra, central defender Kompani, central defender Thiago Silva, central defender Pepe, right-back Alves

Goalkeeper Chech

Except for Thiago Silva and Cech, all others are substitutes.

When Ancelotti saw this starting list, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy. With such a large rotation, it seems that Chelsea has hope to give Crystal Palace a profound lesson this time.

When the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Ancelotti immediately called on the Chelsea players to put on a big push to the attack.

On the Crystal Palace, the formation was also actively reduced according to Chen Ran's plan. Except for the two forwards Suarez and Vardy swimming near the center circle, the other players retreated to their own half.

This time, Chelsea completely took the initiative on the field and formed a siege against Crystal Palace.

In fact, the tactics used in Chen Ran in this competition are very simple, which is Tian Ji's horse racing.

First, use substitutes to consume the physical fitness of Chelsea's main players in the first half.

Then when the opponent's physical fitness declined in the second half, he sent out killer weapons such as Ronaldo and Messi to the field.

Ancelotti was not a fool, and he vaguely guessed Chen Ran’s intention.

However, Chelsea, which uses all the main lineups, faces Crystal Palace, which has almost all the substitutes, this opportunity is once a lifetime.

So, even though Ancelotti knew that Chen Ran had dug a hole for him, he still jumped in resolutely.

Now, it depends on whether Chelsea can break through the goal of Crystal Palace before its physical strength declines.

Ancelotti had already thought about it and could only take the lead. Even if there was only one goal, he immediately ordered Chelsea to shrink the defense and put the bus in the entire line.

Now, it depends on whether Chelsea's spear first pierces the shield of Crystal Palace, or whether Crystal Palace's shield resists Chelsea's spear, and then stages a Jedi counterattack.
