I saw Ronaldo rushing the ball forward before his opponents could surround him.

Then another man passed the ball, leaving behind the defender who rushed to cover.

After adjusting his pace and flicking his ankle, a cross with a very beautiful arc landed in the penalty area.

Tony and Crouch were so excited that after waiting for half an hour, they finally got a decent cross.

The two of them followed Chen Ran's tactical arrangement, one to grab the front point and the other to grab the middle point. As for Ribery, who was responsible for grabbing the back point, forget it, no one expected his header.

"boom!"

Living up to expectations, Tony overpowered the opponent's defender and smashed the ball into the West Bromwich Albion goal.

"beep......"

The whistle sounded, but the referee did not point to the center circle.

The goal was invalid, Tony committed a pressing foul.

"Fxxxk!"

Chen Ran, who was on the sidelines, was about to celebrate excitedly. His substitution had an immediate effect. This was such a sense of accomplishment.

As a result, the referee's whistle knocked him out of the climax.

Forget it, I don't have the same experience as you.

Chen Ran took a deep breath and comforted himself.

There is no video referee at this time, basically the main referee has the final say.

However, as long as the offense is open, will the goal be far away?

This goal has been disallowed, then score a few more, I don't believe you can disallow them all.

At this time, Megson in the distance was in a completely different mood.

Although Crystal Palace's goal was disallowed by the referee, the signs were very bad.

This shows that the defensive strategy he formulated for West Bromwich Albion has been solved by Crystal Palace.

There are nearly 60 minutes left in the game. Can you still hold on for such a long time?

Megson, who was originally full of confidence, is now a little shaken.

Looking at the field, the striker he arranged to interfere with Crystal Palace's offense is now being tossed around by Modric and Fabregas, turning him into a headless fly and having lost his role.

Pass after pass was accurately sent to the wing by the two of them, and Crystal Palace's offense came to life completely.

No, I can't hesitate any longer.

Megson gritted his teeth. If this continues, West Bromwich Albion will only be suffocated by Crystal Palace.

Instead of doing this, it's better to fight with them.

Taking advantage of Crystal Palace's weak defense in the middle, there is no chance at all against them.

Even if you lose in the end, you have worked hard and will not have any regrets.

After making up his mind, Megson immediately called a forward from the bench to warm up.

Soon, following Crystal Palace, West Bromwich Albion also made substitutions before the end of the first half.

Moreover, a forward was replaced by a central defender.

Megson's substitution immediately caused the reporters in the stands to explode.

"What's going on? Let's see, West Bromwich Albion are swapping a forward for a defender. Are Megson crazy? They are actually swapping a forward for a defender when they are being beaten by Crystal Palace?"

"Gee, these coaches are getting more and more crazy now. In a passive situation, they actually want to strengthen the offense instead of strengthening the defense? I really don't know what Megson is thinking?"

"I originally thought that only the Chinese would do such a crazy thing, but I didn't expect that Megson from West Bromwich Albion is no worse than the Chinese."

"Haha, maybe they are just preparing to use madness to control madness?"

"Hahaha, that makes sense, maybe it's really the case."

Different from the contempt of those reporters, Chen Ran's heart tightened after seeing Megson's substitution.

This Megson is not simple.

He was sure that West Bromwich Albion could not defend, and Crystal Palace had obvious loopholes, so he wanted to hurt each other to see who would kill whom first.

After thinking clearly about Megson's intention of substitution, Chen Ran did not make any further adjustments.

Because he is very confident in the current offensive power of Crystal Palace, at least in the English Championship, Chen Ran does not think that any team can have a stronger offensive power than the Crystal Palace he built himself.

Since West Bromwich Albion wants to have an offensive contest, Crystal Palace will accompany them to the end.

Taking a look at Megson from a distance, Chen Ran secretly admired him. He was a very courageous and excellent coach.

Therefore, the spectators who came to the scene for this game were in a good mood.

In the next half of the game, the two teams crackled like popcorn, scoring a total of eight goals.

The two teams, like two gladiators, do not wear any protective gear and attack each other with knives until one of them falls.

In this goal battle, Toni scored 2 goals, Crouch scored 1 goal, Ronaldo scored 1 goal, and Fabregas scored 1 goal.

Crystal Palace finally defeated West Bromwich Albion 5:3.

In addition to gaining three points, Chen Ran once again earned 1 million euros.

Fabregas also set a record as the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Crystal Palace club.

After the game, reports about Crystal Palace's ninth consecutive victory in the English Championship once again filled the schedules of major sports media in England.

However, what is rare is that this time the reporters no longer focused on Chen Ran and Crystal Palace, but focused on another key figure in the game - West Bromwich Albion head coach Megson

.

"What makes a coach go from tight defense to crazy offense in one game?"

"On Megson's Schizophrenic Command Method."

"Is it normal to use two completely opposite tactics in one game when the score has not changed?"

"Beautiful goal battle, failed tactical adjustment."

"The Chinese man's substitution frightened Megson into immediately changing his established playing style."

"Has the deterrent power of that Chinese person reached this level?"

...

After reading the media reports collected by Lewis, Chen Ran couldn't help but sigh. He could only express sympathy for Megson.

This is a very good coach, but it is a pity that the media only looks at the results and will not explore the reasons.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The reality is so cruel.

There is another League Cup game on the weekend, but the opponent is a fourth-level team. Chen Ran plans to send substitutes who have not had much chance to play before.

However, in order to prevent being upset, he still put several main players on the bench.

Sure enough, as expected by Chen Ran, although Doncaster was only a fourth-tier team, the substitutes from Crystal Palace had few playing opportunities and lacked coordination, so the game was very difficult.

Until the 60th minute of the second half, the score was still 0:0.

When Chen Ran saw that the situation was not good, he immediately replaced Toni, Ronaldo and Fabregas.

Finally, in the 88th minute of the game, organized by Fabregas and assisted by Ronaldo, Toni scored the only goal of the game.

Crystal Palace defeated Doncaster 1:0 and advanced to the next round of the League Cup.
