   Chapter 42 Angry Mouse

   "Crystal Palace is about to start a storm."

   Seeing Chen Ran resorting to the double-tower tactic, both the media reporters and the fans at the scene had this kind of awareness in their hearts.

   "It was only 20 minutes after the opening and the substitution was made?"

   A reporter looked down at his watch, a little surprised.

   "As soon as he loses the ball, he changes the formation immediately. This Chinese is really decisive."

   "Indeed, many experienced and old coaches dare not do this."

   "Decisiveness is decisive enough, but the effect of the evolution needs to be observed again. Hey, Millwall's coach is not slow to respond, so he followed the substitution so quickly?"

   "Well, it seems that a tall central defender has been replaced. Hehe, it seems that this McGee has done a lot of research on Crystal Palace, so there will be a good show now."

"That's right, this is a detail worthy of a close-up. If Crystal Palace finally turns the tables, then we'll write that the Chinese commanded properly and changed decisively. If Millwall holds the victory in the end, even if it only gets one point, we'll write McGee found a way to restrain Crystal Palace."

   "Haha, that's a good idea, I don't have anything to write about now."

   "I agree too, let's just do it."

   Chen Ran didn't have the heart to pay attention to the colorful intestines of the media reporters in the stands. All his attention is now on every Crystal Palace attack.

  After Millwall changed to 541, all the players retreated to half-court defense, leaving less and less space for Crystal Palace to display.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo and Chiellini on the left and Ribery and Maicon on the right were constantly attacking Millwall's defense, under Dennis Wise's physical strength, Tony and Crouch Never got a decent chance.

   It's not that Ronaldo and Ribery can't break through Millwall's defense and pass the ball into the penalty area.

   But under the interference of Millwall players, the quality of the ball is not high.

   was either destroyed by the opposing defender, or he could only barely shoot, which was easily resolved by Millwall's goalkeeper.

   The most difficult one is Dennis Wise.

   This guy is old now and can't keep up with the speed of Ronaldo and Ribery. But he always commanded his teammates to grab the first shot, and he hid next to him for protection.

   As soon as the Millwall player who was robbed was broken through, Dennis Wise immediately rushed up to make a second shot.

   I have to admit that the timing was just right.

   In addition, his actions are very fierce, and every blow has the possibility of hurting people.

   This is also in the UK. If you switch to a league in another country, it is estimated that everyone can be called a foul.

   For a while, the Crystal Palace's offensive seemed to have entered the swamp, and the progress was very difficult.

   Chen Ran, who was on the sidelines, was not in a hurry at this time, and he was very calm.

  Dennis Wise felt a little crazy this time, and it seems that he has regained the form he was in Chelsea.

   However, he is almost 37 years old after all.

   With such a way of running around the field and making up defenses everywhere, can Dennis Wise keep the game for 90 minutes?

  Chen Ran did not believe it.

  It would be nice if he could last 60-70 minutes.

  When Dennis Wise has no physical strength, it is the moment when Crystal Palace's turnaround arrives.

  The first half ended quickly, Millwall still maintained a 1:0 lead. During the intermission, the entire Neal Stadium was full of laughter and laughter.

  In the locker room of Crystal Palace, Chen Ran, as usual, encouraged the players with a cheerful smile.

"Guys, you played well in the first half, Millwall was just lucky to get a world wave. I bet even with no defense, let that Dennis Wise shoot ten more times, He couldn't hit such a beautiful leaf ball."

"Hahaha"

   Seeing that Chen Ran was not angry because he conceded the ball, and was still in the mood to joke, the relieved players burst into laughter.

  This is what Chen Ran wants. It's like marching to fight, no matter how critical the situation is, the coach can't mess up.

  If the coach is in chaos, this battle will be impossible.

   "Everyone has seen it, Millwall's best performance in the first half was that Dennis Wise. However, this guy is already 37 years old, and his physical fitness can't last 90 minutes."

   "So, guys, when he can't run, it's time for you to show off. Got it?"

"clear!"

   Hearing the resounding and powerful answers from the team members, Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction, his morale was good.

   Soon, the second half time came, and the players began to walk out of the lounge.

  Chen Ran left Southgate at the end and reminded again.

   "Don't forget to keep an eye on Dennis Wise."

   "Boss, don't worry."

  Southgate gave Chen Ran a serious look and nodded heavily.

  The first twenty minutes of the second half are exactly the same as the second half of the first half.

  Crystal Palace is still attacking, but the effect is not ideal, and they still haven't scored a goal.

   However, Dennis Wise's physical strength was visibly declining sharply.

   He has been gasping for breath with his hands on his knees several times when the ball is dead.

   Chen Ran, who had been paying attention to him, was overjoyed, this guy was about to stop running.

  The consequence of Dennis Wise's physical decline was immediately reflected in the game.

   Because Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery made breakthroughs on the wing, no one was able to make up the defense in time.

   One after another high-quality crosses fell into Millwall's penalty area one after another.

  Chen Ran knew that Crystal Palace was not far from scoring a goal.

   McGee also smelled a dangerous odor, and he also noticed that Dennis Wise's physical strength had dropped significantly.

   But looking back at the bench, McGee couldn't help shaking his head, no one can replace Dennis Wise.

   He looked down at his watch again, the game had been going on for 70 minutes.

  Dennis, grit your teeth and hold on, the three points are almost in your hands.

  Unfortunately, McGee's good wishes were soon shattered.

   "Goal"

In the 71st minute, Chiellini on the left used Ronaldo's cover to get rid of Millwall's defense, and then plugged in and successfully passed a pass with excellent placement. Tony, who had been waiting for a long time in the penalty area, headed Smashed into Millwall's goal.

   Millwall 1:1 Crystal Palace.

   Chen Ran on the sidelines couldn't help cheering, and finally waited for the goal.

  Although he was very confident in his judgment, the delay in scoring the goal also made him suffer.

   The first 70 minutes of this game were the hardest 70 minutes of his coaching career so far.

   Tony's goal seemed to have opened a floodgate, and the Crystal Palace players' morale was boosted, and the next offensive wave was higher than wave.

   On Millwall's side, their strength is not as good as Crystal Palace, and they have been fighting with Crystal Palace by holding their breath.

   Now, this breath seems to be vented by this goal.

  Milwall's players felt like they were suddenly tied to their legs with lead blocks, and their movements slowed down a lot.

   The loopholes in the defense line are getting bigger and bigger.

   These situations were also noticed by the experienced Dennis Wise, who kept inspiring, encouraging, and even yelling at his teammates.

   "Angry Rat", appeared.
