Chapter 430: Helpless Choice(1/2)
Robben and Macon are also old opponents. From when he first landed at Chelsea to now, he has suffered a lot in the fight with Macon over the years.
So much so that Robben was a little upset when he saw Maicon, and his performance in the game was naturally greatly reduced.
Coupled with Chen Ran's deliberate tactics against him, Robben had to devote most of his energy to assisting Marcelo's defense. For a moment, Real Madrid's left offense almost stagnated.
Mourinho, who saw all this, shook his head helplessly, turned around and called out Portugal left-back Cointran from the bench.
After a simple warm-up, Mourinho replaced Robben with Coentron to play the left back, and then pushed Marcelo to the front to play the left forward.
After throwing the burden of defending Messi to Coentrane, who had just been on the court, Marcelo became active immediately.
He and Macon are both Brazil internationals and are very familiar with each other. In addition, they are both full-backs, Macon also knows all the tricks of Macon's Marcelo.
After Mourinho's adjustment, Real Madrid's left offense suddenly regained its vitality.
Seeing Mourinho replaced Robben, Chen Ran immediately called Southgate to his side.
"Gares, now you inform Alves to warm up and use him to replace Macon later. If you tell Alves, Marcelo will be left to him."
"Okay, boss."
Soon, Real Madrid's offensive on the left, which had just improved, was pressed by the new force Alves.
Marcelo, who is also a Brazil international and a full-back, has played for most of the game, was immediately known to the bottom of the game. Alves, who is physically in good health, was so defensive that he was not angry.
Seeing this situation, Mourinho felt very helpless.
Chen Ran saw through his moves several times. Now he has used up three substitutions, and the rest can only be determined by the performance of the players on the field.
On the Crystal Palace, after successfully suppressing Real Madrid's attack, Chen Ran still placed the main attack direction on Messi on the right.
There is no way, who made him the head coach of the Portuguese national team?
Mourinho's newly replaced Cointran is also a Portuguese international, and Chen Ran also knows his characteristics very well.
Chen Ran knew very well that Coentrand could not defend against Messi.
As Chen Ran expected, Coentran performed well when he first came on the court, and he defended Messi's attack several times.
But over time, when Crystal Palace repeatedly attacked him along the way and made him run away, Coentran finally made a mistake.
When Messi dribbled over again, Coentrane made too much snatch and was swung over by Messi.
Then Messi dribbled the ball into Real Madrid's penalty area, and central defender Albior quickly came to make up for defense.
Messi made another fake shot and Albiol thought he was going to cut inside. Just when Albiol was trying to cut inside, Messi led the ball to the bottom line.
At this time, Casillas, who found that the situation was not good, quickly moved to the near post to prevent Messi from shooting at a small angle.
As a result, Messi used his shooting technique to pull the ball horizontally towards Real Madrid's goal.
"Bang!"
The ball flew quickly and quickly in front of the goal. Whether it is the offensive player of Crystal Palace or the defensive player of Real Madrid, whoever encounters it may block the ball into the goal.
In the penalty area, when he saw Messi's pass, Ronaldo rushed over immediately. He threw his body out and wanted to block the ball into Real Madrid's goal.
Seeing this situation, Metzeld, who is responsible for guarding Ronaldo, had no choice but to bite the bullet and stretch his feet to block the ball. He hopes to block the ball from the bottom line.
However, Messi used the power of shooting to pass the ball, and the ball was extremely fast and did not give Metzeld a chance to adjust.
Metzeld did hit the ball before Ronaldo, but the ball did not block the baseline as he wished, but was directly kicked into his own goal.
At this time, Casillas, who had just defended Messi from the near post, could no longer come back, and could only watch his teammate complete a very exciting tackle and score.
“GOAL!
!
!”
With Metzeld's own goal, Crystal Palace led Real Madrid 2:0 away.
As soon as the second ball was entered, the Bernabeu Stadium, which had been as lively as a vegetable market, suddenly became quiet.
On the sidelines, Mourinho, who had a gloomy face, couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Could it be that guy who is going to lose to Chen Ran this time?
In the remaining game time, although Real Madrid, which was damaged in morale, was still attacking, it was no longer comparable to before, in terms of strength and frequency.
However, as the game was approaching the end, Yinbrahimovic once again performed a magical performance.
He was out of the ball in the penalty area of Crystal Palace and ran to the midfield to take the initiative to ask for the ball.
Then, nearly forty meters away from the Crystal Palace goal, under the interference of Mascherano, a long-distance fallen leaf ball directly broke through the goal guarded by Cech, saving some face for Real Madrid.
In the end, with Ribery's goal and Metzeld's own goal, Crystal Palace defeated Real Madrid 2-1 away.
While getting the initiative to advance to the Champions League semi-finals, Chen Ran also obtained a "first-level chicken blood card" from the system.
After the game, the pro-Barcelona media will naturally not miss the opportunity to mock Mourinho.
Reports such as "the defeated Chinese men" and "Mr. Mourinho should give up his fantasy and set his goal of chasing Guardiola" are more meaner than the other, making Mourinho half-baked.
Chen Ran naturally had no mind to pay attention to the harm he caused to Mourinho. Early the next morning, he flew back to London with the Crystal Palace.
Because in two days, they will usher in the 33rd round of the Premier League against Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium.
After two consecutive seasons of big investment and the running-in of last season, Manchester City clubs this season seem to be transformed under the leadership of Mancini, which is impressive.
They have been at the top of the standings since the beginning of the season.
Although they have little chance of competing for the Premier League championship trophy, it is still very promising to get a UEFA Champions League place.
Manchester City Club, Mancini's office.
"How is it? Roberto, do you have the confidence to take over the Crystal Palace this time?"
Rayin Ola asked, looking at Mancini with a smile.
As a transfer consultant for Manchester City club, the team has made a lot of signings for two consecutive seasons, various commissions and consulting fees, which have made him a lot of money.
In addition, Manchester City has performed well this season, and his boss Mansour also attaches great importance to him. Nowadays, La Yinola can be said to be proud.
"have no idea."
Mancini shrugged.
Although the team is doing well now, as the head coach, Mancini is still relatively clear-headed.
"So no confidence? Crystal Palace just fought against Real Madrid in Spain. There was only two days apart, and with the tiredness of the journey, they couldn't get back to their best shape at all."
"Roberto, why don't you learn how to play the bus tactics other teams use against Crystal Palace? Crystal Palace's physical fitness is not good, so use the attrition war to drag them to death."
Yoon Brahimovic, the biggest star under La Yin's current player, played in Real Madrid, so he naturally watched the broadcast of the Champions League.
In La Yinola's view, if Mourinho makes Real Madrid shrink the defense and put the bus, he may not lose this game.
"Setting up a bus? This is not in line with my tactical philosophy."
Mancini frowned slightly and immediately rejected Rayinora's proposal.
"I said why are you so stupid? You are not asking you to set up a bus every day, but what's wrong with setting up a bus every time? So many strong teams set up a bus when they are playing against Crystal Palace. The most important thing is to get points."
La Yinola looked at Mancini with a look of regret.
In his opinion, if you can't get points, any tactic is shit.
"Mino, don't say anything more. No team won the championship by playing bus tactics."
Mancini looked at La Yinola with a firm look. He didn't know yet that in his previous life, Chelsea won the team's first Champions League championship by playing bus tactics.
......
I hurried back to Crystal Palace in London, but had to undergo a simple restorative training and face the Premier League game with Manchester City.
As La Yinola analyzed, although Chen Ran has adopted a tactical approach with relatively small physical consumption in the game against Real Madrid, the current physical condition of the main players is still not optimistic.
In desperation, Chen Ran just sent a large number of substitutes to Manchester City.
Forward Suarez, forward Cavani
Left forward Ribery, central defender Fabregas, central defender Beckham, right forward Valdy
Left-back Evra, central defender Kompani, central defender Pepe, right-back Alves
Goalkeeper Van der Sar
And on Manchester City, without the drag of European wars, the physical condition of Manchester City players is much better, so Mancini naturally sent the team's strongest lineup to challenge Crystal Palace.
Forward Tevez, forward Adebayo
Left forward Peter Lov, centre forward Vieira, centre forward Gago, right forward Derong
Left defender Drente, central defender Krolo Toure, central defender Scott, right defender Sabaleta
Goalkeeper Ji Wen
Although Mancini did not adopt Rayin's suggestion to set up a bus, he still strengthened Manchester City's defensive power and replaced the sharp offensive winger Wright Phillips with defensive strongman De Jong.
When Chen Ran saw Manchester City's starting lineup, he immediately determined that Mancini had placed the team's main attack direction on the left today.
So he specially called Crystal Palace's starting right forward Vardy to his side today.
"Jamie, your main task today is to stare at Manchester City's left forward Peter Lof. As long as Manchester City launches an attack from the left, you must follow wherever Peter Lof goes. Do you understand?"
