The current Crystal Palace is no longer the team that only bombed from high altitudes in the face of strict defense last season.

After nearly a season of continuous polishing, the Crystal Palace players are now able to implement Guardiola's tactics on the court.

The entire team's formation is very high up.

Even center backs Southgate and Vidic have arrived near the center circle.

The two full-backs Chiellini and Maicon even took the place of the full-backs Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery.

And Ronaldo and Ribery have now become wingers or even shadow forwards.

Cooperating with Modric and Cesc Fabregas, they constantly made short passes near the Norwich penalty area, looking for loopholes in Norwich's defense.

Tony, who was guarding the Norwich penalty area, no longer waited for his teammates to pass the ball.

When Tony suddenly ran out of the penalty area and asked for the ball, Norwich center back Charlton was stunned. Should he follow or not?

But he immediately remembered head coach Lambert's instructions to keep Tony close and followed immediately.

Modric saw Toni coming out to ask for the ball and immediately passed the ball over.

Tony used his huge body to block Charlton behind him.

He didn't pause after receiving the ball. He knocked the ball with his heel and the ball entered the penalty area.

At this moment, a lightning-like figure suddenly appeared in the restricted area.

It was Cristiano Ronaldo, rushing over from the wing at high speed, taking advantage of the short gap left by Toni taking away the Norwich center back, and shot without stopping the ball or adjusting.

The ball was powerful and fast, and although the angle was not tricky enough, the Norwich goalkeeper had just reacted and was a beat slow.

Just his fingertips touched the ball, but it could not change the result of the ball entering the net.

"Goal..."

Crystal Palace led Norwich 1:0, Tony assisted and Ronaldo scored.

After breaking the deadlock, Crystal Palace played more easily.

When Tony came out of the penalty area to ask for the ball again, this time Charlton learned the lesson from last time and firmly stood his position and did not follow out again.

When Tony saw that no one was bothering him anymore, he simply turned around, took a step forward, and took a long shot.

It was the unlucky Charlton who saw Tony about to hit the goal and quickly made a move to block it.

At this time, Tony's position was not far outside the penalty area. If Tony was allowed to shoot without any obstruction, the threat would still be great.

In fact, Tony's long-range shot is average. Although this shot is powerful, the angle is very positive and there is almost no threat.

But just because Charlton stretched his legs to block the ball, the ball was refracted when it hit Charlton's body, causing the Norwich goalkeeper to stagger and could only watch the ball go into the net again.

"Goal..."

Crystal Palace led Norwich 2:0 thanks to Tony's goal.

The rest of the game was completely in the rhythm of Crystal Palace.

Norwich has introduced too many new players and their on-field coordination is not yet proficient enough.

If you attack, you can't attack; if you defend, you can't hold it.

In the end, Ronaldo, Toni, and Crouch and Alves who came off the bench each scored a goal.

Crystal Palace beat Norwich 4-0 in an away game and got a good start in the Premier League. At the same time, Chen Ran also received a winning bonus of 2 million euros.

The highlight of this round will take place the day after the Crystal Palace game.

Chelsea defeated the Red Devils Manchester United 1:0 at home. Mourinho gave Sir Alex Ferguson a loud slap in the face in his first game in the Premier League.

It is also announcing to everyone: I, Mourinho, am here!

Although Crystal Palace currently tops the Premier League table with a goal difference advantage.

But after the first round, most of the English media's attention was attracted by Chelsea's victory over Manchester United.

And Mourinho has become the new media darling without hesitation.

"The new Champions League champion coach Mourinho made an extraordinary move and defeated the Red Devils Manchester United in the first game of the Premier League."

"The arrival of Mourinho has completely changed the pattern of the Premier League championship battle. It will evolve from a two-power competition to a tripartite competition."

"For two consecutive years, Chelsea's ambitions have been fully demonstrated with huge investment, and the goal is to win the Premier League championship."

"Chelsea poached Mourinho to make up for the team's last shortcoming. This means that the Premier League champion this season will be between Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United."

"The latest data from the betting company shows that after Chelsea's victory in this game, the number of people who are optimistic about Chelsea's competition for the Premier League championship this season has surged."

"This is the true style of a genius coach, much better than the absurd behavior of a former genius coach."

...

When the little fat man handed a stack of newspapers to Chen Ran with a mean smile, Chen Ran knew that there must be nothing good in the newspapers.

God damn former genius coach, I haven’t fallen into decline.

Chen Ran was so angry when he saw it.

These damn reporters, if you want to praise Mourinho, just praise Mourinho.

He even took me along with him in a special way, holding each one in his arms and trampling on each one.

Crystal Palace didn't lose, even if it won 4:0?

We are obviously at the top of the Premier League, are you all blind?

"Hey, Chen, it seems you have met your opponent this time."

The little fat man came over and said shamelessly.

"roll!"

Chen Ran pushed away the fat face that was getting bigger and bigger.

"These reporters just don't care about beatings. I'll slap them in the face with my results."

"That is, slap them in the face hard. Trample that Mourinho under his feet. Can Mendes still laugh when I see him?"

The little fat man never forgets the family's holiday with Mendes, and keeps fanning the flames next to him.

In the first round of the Premier League, in addition to Crystal Palace defeating Norwich 4:0, Chelsea defeated Manchester United 1:0.

Arsenal also beat Everton 4:1 away from home. Among the strong teams, only Liverpool was tied 1:1 by Tottenham Hotspur in the away game.

In the standings, Crystal Palace ranks first on goal difference, Arsenal ranks second, and Bolton are tied with Arsenal because they also beat Charlton 4:1 in the first game.

Aston Villa defeated Southampton 2:0 and ranked fourth, while Chelsea ranked fifth.

A week later, Chen Ran ushered in the second round of the Premier League. Crystal Palace faced Everton at home.

Everton had just suffered a huge defeat at home to Arsenal in the first round, and now they met Crystal Palace. It was time to take out their anger on the newly promoted team.

During this summer transfer period, Everton just sold the popular Rooney to Manchester United for a sky-high price of 27 million pounds.

However, they only introduced four players, the most valuable of which was the Australian forward Cahill, who was later familiar to domestic fans, and only cost 2 million pounds.
