MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 383 hit again

   During the halftime break, Chen Ran did not make any substitution adjustments except to give the players blood as usual.

   On the Chelsea side, Ancelotti replaced Deco, who received a yellow card in the first half, with Essien.

   Replaced a B2B midfielder with a strong defensive midfielder. Compared with winning the game, Ancelotti is obviously more inclined to keep the current draw.

   At the beginning of the second half, seeing Chelsea's substitution adjustment, Southgate leaned over to Simeone and whispered.

   "Diego, Ancelotti is more conservative than you."

   "What's conservative? It's a wise move. Ancelotti knows it's hard to beat us Crystal Palace, so he settles for the next best thing and chooses a more likely goal."

   Simeone gave Southgate a displeased look when he said he was conservative.

   "Hehe, let's see if they can hold on. It's not that easy to grab points from our Crystal Palace."

   Southgate sneered and pouted in disdain.

   Hearing Southgate and Simone's discussion, Chen Ran was not as optimistic as Southgate.

   Ancelotti's move may seem conservative, but as Simeone said, it is indeed a pragmatic choice.

   And Chelsea's players are all very strong, and if you really defend with all your strength, it will be difficult to deal with.

  Thinking of this, Chen Ran called Southgate over.

"Gareth, go and tell Modric to pass the ball to Ronaldo on the left. Chelsea's right back Ivanovic is 188cm tall and has no speed. Let Ronaldo repeatedly hit his position and break through from him. ."

   "Understood, boss."

   Soon, Modric, who received Chen Ran's latest order, obviously kept scoring the ball to the left where Ronaldo was.

   This time, the pressure on Yinvanovic, who was facing Ronaldo, suddenly increased.

   On the Chelsea bench, the experienced Ancelotti immediately sensed that the situation was not good.

   Ivanovic is an all-round defender who can play both at centre-back and full-back, a bit like Crystal Palace's Chiellini.

   Although the speed of this type of player is not slow, once he is repeatedly attacked by a player who is known for his speed, it will reveal flaws sooner or later.

   After discovering the problem, Ancelotti did not hesitate and immediately informed the Portuguese right-back Bosingwa on the bench to warm up.

   Soon, Chen Ran saw that Chelsea replaced Invanovic with Bosingwa.

   "This Fatty An has a quick reaction."

  Chen Ran curled his lips imperceptibly.

   Now both Kaka and Ribery are out due to injuries, leaving Chen Ran with two less available candidates with super attack power.

   turned his head to look at the Crystal Palace bench, and Chen Ran called Southgate to his side again.

   "Gareth, you now tell Evra to warm up and replace Yaya Toure with him later."

   "Then move Modric back and let him play with Mascherano as a midfielder."

   "Ronaldo's position moved forward, and Tony played as a double striker, and Evra replaced Ronaldo to play the left midfielder position."

   "The team's formation has also changed from 4231 to 442, understand?"

   "Okay, boss."

   Soon, Ancelotti saw that Crystal Palace also made a substitution adjustment.

  Especially when he saw Chen Ran pushing Ronaldo to the front line and appearing in Chelsea's penalty area with Tony, he immediately frowned.

  Cristiano Ronaldo's strength is now a household name. Anyone who is Crystal Palace's opponent knows that this is one of the most threatening players of Crystal Palace.

  According to Ancelotti's previous deployment, Terry and Carvalho were responsible for double-teaming defending Tony.

  From the beginning of the game to the present, with the tacit cooperation of the two, the effect has been good.

   Now Cristiano Ronaldo joins, forcing the two Chelsea central defenders to fight on their own.

  Terry is fine here. With his physical fitness and ability, he is not very worried about defending Toni Ancelotti alone.

   But let Carvalho go to defend Cristiano Ronaldo alone, Ancelotti has no idea in his heart.

  Because in terms of height, speed or technology, Carvalho can be said to be at a disadvantage in all aspects.

   In order to prevent Carvalho from becoming a breakthrough for Crystal Palace, Ancelotti now has only two options: either replace Carvalho directly; or add a central defender and the team change to a five-back formation.

   Thinking of this, Ancelotti turned his head and glanced at Invanovic, who had just been substituted.

   Special meow, you won't fall for that Chinese man's trick again, right?

   Fortunately, Chelsea's bench is deep and thick, Ancelotti decisively put aside the messy thoughts in his mind, and called the Brazilian central defender Alex to warm up.

   After Alex's warm-up was over, Ancelotti did not choose to switch to a five-back formation, but replaced Carvalho directly with Alex.

   Apparently, he also has a glimmer of hope for taking Crystal Palace.

   "Alex?"

   Seeing Ancelotti's substitution, Chen Ran was overjoyed.

  Although Carvalho is not as good as Cristiano Ronaldo in all aspects, he is experienced, and he and Cristiano Ronaldo are teammates of the Portuguese national team.

  Although Alex is young and strong, he is not slow in height and speed, but Chen Ran decided to make him the main direction of the team's next attack.

"Gareth, you go and tell the players on the field to focus on attacking Chelsea's new centre-back Alex. Let Ronaldo lead Alex out of Chelsea's penalty area, and then use your speed to reflexively go forward and hit the back, understand. ?"

   "Okay, boss."

   Soon, Cristiano Ronaldo, who received Chen Ran's latest order, immediately ran out of Chelsea's penalty area and took the initiative to receive the ball.

   Seeing Ronaldo out of the penalty area, Alex, who was in charge of marking him, had to follow him.

   Finding that Alex was really fooled, Modric hurriedly passed the ball to Ronaldo.

  Cristiano Ronaldo used his body to block Alec behind and stopped Modric's pass with his foot.

   Then Ronaldo used the outer instep of his right foot to give the ball to Evra on the left, and Ronaldo himself immediately turned around Ales who was close behind him and accelerated forward.

   Seeing Ronaldo's actions, Evra understood. Before Chelsea's right back Bosingwa came up to steal, he directly rubbed an arc with his left foot and passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo who was advancing at a high speed.

   The weight of this pass was just right, and it just fell on Ronaldo's forward line.

   At this time, Alex was still chasing after Ronaldo. If Ronaldo is allowed to move forward, he will face Chelsea's goalkeeper Cudicini directly.

   Terry, who found that the situation was not good, immediately abandoned Tony, who was in charge of marking, and rushed over to block Cristiano Ronaldo and Cudicini.

   Seeing that Terry made up the defense in time, Ronaldo didn't push hard. With a slight flick of his left ankle, he passed the ball across to Tony, who was now unmarked.

   Such a good opportunity, of course Tony will not let it go.

   Just when he lifted his thighs and tried to knock on the door, a small man rushed over from behind him.

   A flying shovel appeared on the rolling line of the ball.

  It's Ashley Cole. This guy found the situation in critical condition and came over from his left-back position in time. Before Tony, stabbed the ball out.

   However, Ashley Cole's flying shovel in desperation could no longer control the direction of the ball going out.

  It was originally Ronaldo's cross to Tony, but Ashley Cole shoveled it back.

  Cristiano Ronaldo reacted extremely quickly, before Terry made his move, he volleyed against the ball.

"boom!"

  The ball flew towards Chelsea's goal like a shell.

   The distance is close, the ball is fast, and the goalkeeper Cudicini has no time to react.

   He subconsciously stretched out his hand when the ball flew past him and into the Chelsea net.

   "GOAL!

  ”

   With Ronaldo's brace, Crystal Palace overtook Chelsea 2:1.

   "Cristiano Ronaldo, again, his goal helped Crystal Palace achieve a big comeback!"

   "Crystal Palace's bench depth is too strong. Although Kaka and Ribery were out due to injury, they still failed to prevent Crystal Palace from continuing to score goals."

   "I have to admire the coaching ability of the Chinese. After several tactical adjustments, they have accurately found Chelsea's weakness."

   At this time, Ancelotti, who was standing on the sidelines, could not hear what the game commentary said.

   He only knew that Alex, who he had just replaced on the court, had become the key target of Crystal Palace's attack, and he had fallen into the trap of the Chinese again.

  Since the score has been overtaken now, there is no point in defending, so it is better to just attack and fight.

  I have to admit that Chelsea's player configuration is quite strong.

After making up his mind, Ancelotti turned his attention to the Chelsea bench.

  Joe Cole, Anelka, Malouda, etc. are all good offensive players.

   Only the last substitution was left. After hesitating for a while, Ancelotti finally replaced Pirlo with Malouda.

   Then Malouda played the left midfielder, Lampard played the right midfielder, Essien and Ballack partnered the midfielder. The team's formation has also changed from 4312 to 442.

   Ancelotti's change in such a change immediately caused a heated debate among the reporters in the stands.

   "Is Ancelotti going to attack? It's over, Chelsea is completely over now."

   "No way. Chelsea players are still very strong, maybe they can tie the game."

   "Hehe, haven't you watched the Crystal Palace game? Which team would have a good end to the team that dared to play against the Crystal Palace?"

   "Isn't it just a loss. Anyway, Chelsea are already behind the score. It doesn't make any difference whether they lose one or two or three. It's better to attack and fight."

   "I guess that's what Ancelotti thought."

   "Then wish him a miracle."

   "Me, too."

   On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran was very happy to see Chelsea take the initiative to attack. He knew that Ancelotti was in a hurry.

   In the next game, hesitant to move Chelsea's formation forward, making the hole in the back line caught by Crystal Palace again.

   This time, it was Messi who took advantage of the opportunity that Ashley Cole failed to get back to the defense in time, and dribbled the ball straight into Chelsea's penalty area from the right.

   found that the situation was not good, Terry immediately rushed over to make up the defense.

  Messi flicked the ball to the left and dribbled the ball across the Chelsea penalty area.

   When Terry tried to chase after him to intercept, he was blocked by Tony using his huge body.

   On the other side, seeing Messi dribbling the ball horizontally, Alex also wanted to rush over to block it.

   At this time, Ronaldo also took a cautious step across, blocking Alex's forward path.

   With Tony and Ronaldo doing the pick-and-roll, an empty space suddenly appeared in front of Messi.

  Messi did not hesitate, dribbled the ball through the narrow gap and faced Cudicini.

   This time, Cudicini, who knew that the situation was critical, immediately abandoned the goal, opened his arms, and tried his best to expand the defensive area and pounced on Messi.

   In the face of Cudicini's fierce movements, Messi did not mess up at all.

   With a slight flick of his right ankle, the ball drew a wonderful arc and flew over Cudicini's head just right.

   And Messi himself, with a slight jump, jumped over Cudicini's body.

   At this point, the ball had already flown towards the unguarded Chelsea goal.

   Just in case, Messi accelerated after landing, rushed over and hit his head again.

"boom!"

   "GOAL!

  ”

  The ball went into the net, and Crystal Palace led Chelsea 3:1 away.

  This goal basically killed Chelsea's hope of a comeback.

  The entire Stamford Bridge was silent, and even some Chelsea fans got up and prepared to leave.

   Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Chen Ran replaced Modric with Fabregas.

   Chelsea's side, although Drogba scored a goal in stoppage time, still failed to change the outcome of their loss to Crystal Palace again.

   As the referee blew the whistle of the end of the game, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Rehabilitation Card" from the system.

   In other matches in this round of the Premier League, Liverpool beat Portsmouth 3:2 away, and Manchester United also beat West Ham United 1:0 away.

  Arsenal was drawn 0-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby, while Manchester City were extremely happy, they beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at home.

  After the end of the twenty-fifth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace is still seven points ahead of Liverpool at the top of the standings, and the situation is very good.

   However, what follows is another two-week national team game day.

  Although there are no Premier League games, because almost all of Crystal Palace's members are international players, the players will not only get no rest, but will be more tired than usual.

   Chen Ran, who had to be released according to the rules, could only pray that no player was injured during the national team game.

  Perhaps the immortals of China couldn't control the affairs of England. Chen Ran received news that he didn't want to see again.

   This time, it was Tony and Modric who were injured.

   If you include Kaka and Ribery who have been injured before, Crystal Palace has now lost four absolute main players at once.

   When this happened when it was about to enter the final sprint stage of the season, Chen Ran's face was ugly and scary.

  .
