Only three days after the League Cup match, Crystal Palace ushered in the tenth round of the English Championship.

This time, Crystal Palace will challenge Norwich City away from home.

Norwich is unfamiliar to many people, but in its previous life, it was directly promoted to the Premier League as this season's English Championship champions.

Now because of Chen Ran's rebirth, Crystal Palace has taken Norwich's place. This game can be said to be a direct contest between Li Kui and Li Gui.

For Chen Ran, in the away game, the opponent was not weak, so it was natural for him to adopt Simeone's defensive counterattack tactics.

However, he made some fine-tuning this time, pulling Modric directly from the front midfielder back to the midfielder position, and then sent Yaya Toure to assist, forming a three-back midfielder formation to strengthen the defensive thickness of the midfield.

Norwich coach Lambert was not surprised that Crystal Palace adopted defensive counterattack tactics in this game. Just like the previous West Bromwich Albion coach Megson, he also conducted detailed analysis on Crystal Palace.

Research.

However, Lambert didn't expect that Chen Ran would go even further this time and even form a three-midfielder formation.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Lambert quickly discovered the position of the Crystal Palace players on the field.

So conservative?

Lambert muttered and looked at Chen Ran in the distance.

This Chinese man is very cunning. Is he trying to trick him into taking the initiative to attack?

Lambert watched all the videos of Crystal Palace's previous games. He was very impressed by Chen Ran's strange tricks, which made him mentally adjust Chen Ran's danger level to the highest level.

Therefore, Lambert planned to observe again to see what the Chinese man wanted to do.

Chen Ran's idea was actually very simple, just to make up for Modric's physical disadvantage, so he sent Yaya Toure.

Just like Ancelotti would arrange for Gattuso and Ambrosini to protect Pirlo.

But Chen Ran didn't expect that his previous slutty moves would bring a psychological shadow to Lambert. Seeing the changes in the Crystal Palace's formation from before, he began to become suspicious, thinking that Chen Ran was holding back some bad water.

Therefore, the Norwich fans who came to watch the game at Carrow Road today saw a strange game in which both the home team and the visiting team stayed behind to defend, and no one was willing to take the initiative to attack.

At this time, the Norwich fans were in a rage.

Damn it, I paid for the tickets just to watch your negative game?

The boos immediately echoed throughout the Carrow Road Stadium.

Crystal Palace is an away game, so there is no pressure.

Old God Chen Ran stood on the sidelines, quietly glancing at Lambert in the distance, thinking to himself, do you, an old boy like you, have the nerve to hide behind and not come out?

Defensive counterattack, as the name suggests, is to prevent the opponent's attack and then launch a sneak attack when the opponent's rear is empty.

If the opponent doesn't attack at all, it's useless to counterattack.

Lambert is not deaf, and the boos in the audience were like reminders, forcing him to change his tactics.

Everyone on the bench also focused their attention on Lambert, seeming to be waiting for his order.

If Lambert knew the history of China, he would now be able to deeply understand Lian Po's feelings during the Battle of Changping.

It's not that I'm timid, but if I take the initiative to attack, I'll die miserably.

The pressure becomes more and more intense as time goes by.

Lambert stood on the sidelines, listening to the boos from the audience, feeling like he was the enemy of the whole world.

Gradually, his face became redder and redder, and big beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Chen Ran saw all this and couldn't help but admire this Lambert. This guy's ability to withstand psychological pressure is really strong.

When Crystal Palace was playing at home, Chen Ran didn't dare to directly use defensive counterattacks because he expected a situation like what Norwich is experiencing now.

Now, it depends on whether Lambert can hold on and stay in the formation.

This wait is until the end of the first half.

Chen Ran curled his lips, this Lambert is really tolerable, amazing!

If the enemy does not move, I will not move.

Chen Ran didn't make any adjustments during the halftime break. The pressure was on Lambert's side anyway.

As long as he can't handle a change of formation, Crystal Palace's opportunity will come.

As the referee's whistle sounded, the second half began.

Chen Ran took a look and said, "Good guy, this Lambert can really endure it, and he still didn't change his formation."

Chen Ran saw what was happening on the field, and so did all the fans.

The fans, who had also rested for fifteen minutes, started working again. The boos that echoed throughout the Carrow Road stadium seemed to be louder than in the first half.

The game soon reached the 60th minute, and Lambert still made no move.

Moreover, Lambert seems to have adapted to the boos in the audience now, and his expression is calm. He is no longer as red in the face and sweating on his forehead as he was in the first half.

Seeing that Lambert could bear it so well, Chen Ran was completely convinced.

If you are shameless, you are invincible.

Chen Ran still wants to win, but he can't continue to waste time with Lambert.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he turned around and issued instructions to the bench, calling for Crouch and Fabregas to get up and warm up.

The movement on the Crystal Palace bench immediately caught Lambert's attention.

As soon as he saw that it was Crouch and Cesc Fabregas who were warming up, he immediately understood that Crystal Palace was about to launch a general attack.

So Lambert immediately turned back to the bench, first took out two small balls of cotton from his ears and stuffed them into his pockets. Then he also started to greet the players to warm up, and then picked up the tactical board and started gesticulating with the assistant coach.

Five minutes later, Crystal Palace replaced Yaya Toure with Crouch, and replaced Modric with Cesc Fabregas. The style of play also changed to a 442 twin tower strategy.

Immediately afterwards, Norwich also made substitutions, replacing the only forward with a tall central defender, completely turning into a striker-less formation.

Damn it, this Lambert, he is going to defend it to the end.

Chen Ran was also stunned to see on the sidelines, 550, this is Norwich's current formation, which is even more exaggerated than the four-back midfielder formation that Simeone once deployed in his previous life.

Now, even though Chen Ran has ordered Chiellini and Maicon to attack, as long as Crystal Palace players enter Norwich's half, they will immediately be trapped in a double-team.

Norwich used the human sea tactic to completely fill the last thirty meters of their own space.

In this area, every Crystal Palace player will be surrounded by at least one Norwich player pressing closely.

In this way, no matter how accurate Fabregas' passing is, it will not have much effect.

Before Crystal Palace's offensive took off, Norwich was forcefully dragged back to the ground.
Chapter completed!
