232: It was almost, just a little bit close!

Seeing Mourinho's adjustment, Tong Yi frowned even more.

Of course, Tong Yi did not criticize Mourinho's substitutions.

How Mourinho makes substitutions is his choice. He has his own football philosophy, and there is nothing wrong with being utilitarian in order to win. And it is still such a critical moment. There is nothing wrong with Mourinho being so cautious. This reflects their eagerness to win the three points.

Mourinho has worked very hard to achieve this goal.

However, this did create a lot of trouble for the people of Crystal Palace.

Now Chelsea's penalty area and the front edge of the penalty area are full of people. It is really difficult for Crystal Palace to penetrate these two layers of defense.

Too many people!

De Bruyne also had many long-range shot opportunities at this time, but the football was blocked by Chelsea's defensive players with their bodies, and the football did not even threaten the goal.

That's what the Chelsea Man Bus is for.

The effect is very good!

This made the Chelsea fans feel relieved and applauded one after another, giving the applause to Mourinho and the Chelsea players. We are united and united to win this game.

However, Chelsea fans have to admit that the Crystal Palace people's offensive strength is really strong.

However, their defense is currently relatively solid.

Even at this time, it is more difficult for Crystal Palace's two wingers to threaten Chelsea's goal.

Because there are too many people in the opponent's penalty area, even Ignacio has a hard time getting a header easily.

Even if he gets a header, he rarely threatens Chelsea's goal.

Mourinho's bus is really awesome.

Crystal Palace's offense encountered great resistance here!

Tong Yi immediately used the remote control to signal Campbell to replace Laporte on the back line with Jimenez, adding an impactful high center forward in the opposition penalty area.

In this case, Crystal Palace's crosses from the wing and 45-degree crosses will pose a greater threat.

At the same time, Tong Yi also signaled Paulinho to move forward and play a double attacking midfielder with De Bruyne, allowing the Crystal Palace offensive players to get closer to the opponent's goal, so that they would have more opportunities.

In this way, Crystal Palace's formation becomes 3124.

Yes, Crystal Palace put out four forwards at this time, attacking Chelsea's penalty area in rotation.

In this way, Chelsea's penalty area will be more overcrowded. In this case, Crystal Palace people will have less space to move in Chelsea's penalty area, making it more difficult for Crystal Palace to attack.

Tong Yi wanted this, so Tong Yi signaled Salah and Mane to pull out as much as possible to attract the defensive players in the opponent's penalty area and release part of the space in the penalty area. In this way, Pakatan Nice and Nice Ignacio's chances are even better.

And at this time, you are pushing forward violently and you want to suddenly kick and shoot hard.

The ground was drawn towards the football.

The football shot towards Chelsea's goal with great speed.

To be honest, Paulinho's long-range shot came a little suddenly. Drogba's reaction was a little slow and he failed to intercept the football. The football shot quickly towards Chelsea's goal.

"Danger!" Mortensen screamed offensively, and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

This ball was indeed very dangerous. The football flew directly through the gap in the crowd and hit the lower right corner of the goal.

The Chelsea fans at the scene were all pale because they felt that Courtois' view of the ball was blocked and he could not intercept the ball at all. But what shocked them was that Courtois, whose sight was blocked, miraculously jumped out and knocked the football out of the baseline with one palm.

All Crystal Palace fans were stunned and couldn't believe it!

Can you catch this ball?

Isn't this cheating?

It's really unbelievable. Courtois' line of sight was blocked, and the football still slipped through the gap between people. Courtois actually pounced on it. It's unbelievable!

miracle!

It was a miracle to catch the ball!

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were desperate. Such opportunities could be saved. It was almost impossible for Crystal Palace to score in this game.

To be honest, the confidence of Crystal Palace fans has been severely shaken.

Tong Yi in the stands also frowned. He thought he had the ball.

Who knew that this ball could be saved? He was speechless. It seemed that Crystal Palace really had no chance in this game. Tong Yi couldn't help but turn to look at Mourinho, this guy is so lucky!

Corner kick, Crystal Palace got a corner kick opportunity!

"It's a pity, it's really a pity! This should be one of the best opportunities for Crystal Palace. It's a pity that Courtois is like a god descending to earth! It seems that it is almost impossible for Crystal Palace to win this game! Because God It seems that he is on Chelsea's side. Mourinho's conservatism really has some effect. His defense is likely to be the key factor in today's game!" To be honest, it seems that Shearer's words He is a bit disdainful of Mourinho's conservative tactics, but he also has to admit that it is precisely because of Mourinho's conservative tactics that Chelsea are now one goal ahead of Crystal Palace.

Mourinho is really a defensive master!

At the corner kick, Crystal Palace's high points poured into Chelsea's penalty area. In an instant, Chelsea's penalty area was overcrowded.

Chelsea's defensive players were very nervous because the opponent had too many high points and were full of threats. To be honest, they themselves lacked some information, and the opponent's high-altitude ball was really too threatening.

Drogba and Terry are still clinging to Ignacio, and Van Dijk, Jimenez and Paulinho are all recruited by Chelsea.

The defenders followed closely and the penalty area was full of people.

Robertson in the corner area immediately raised his hand to signal, and Ignacio raised his hand again in response. All Chelsea players in the penalty area were extremely nervous, especially Drogba and Terry.

Unexpectedly, Robertson made a false shot and passed the football directly to the front of the penalty area.

Looking at the rebounding football, De Bruyne didn't stop the ball at all and directly swung his legs and fired from the front of the penalty area. With a bang, the football shot out quickly and flew into Chelsea's penalty area.

Boom, the football hit Drogba's right leg in the penalty area hard, and then quickly changed direction and shot towards the upper right corner of Chelsea's goal. Courtois in front of the goal has no chance at all, even if he is a god descending from heaven, it is impossible because the distance is too far and Courtois can't reach it!

All the Chelsea players screamed in horror.

Ruined!

Mourinho on the sidelines was so frightened that the hair on his head broke out.

clang!

The football hit the upper outer edge of the right post of the goal hard, and then bounced directly off the baseline!

call!

All the Chelsea fans gasped. They were almost scared to the point of being out of breath. They were really too worried and desperate. Especially after the football hit Drogba and changed direction, the process of shooting towards the blind corner of the goal was really desperate. They were completely powerless during that process and could only wait for the judgment of fate.

Fortunately, they were lucky. The football was slightly deflected. Otherwise, the goal would have been scored!

If this ball is lost, it will basically declare that this game is over for Chelsea.

Because their offensive players were almost completely replaced and equalized, and they no longer had the ability to counterattack.

Fortunately, the ball was not missed!

Then Mourinho exploded on the sidelines and rushed out like a hungry wolf. He rushed to the sidelines and cursed at all the Chelsea players in the stadium without sparing anyone.

It can be seen that Mourinho was really frightened!

If this goal is lost, Chelsea is really finished.

After scolding the Chelsea players, Mourinho immediately turned around and shouted to Luis who was warming up, "Felipe, come on over!"

Luis immediately took off his coat and came on as a substitute. The Brazilian replaced Hazard in the frontcourt.

Yes, Mourinho has replaced all the offensive players this time.

Luis, who plays full-back, was directly placed on the defensive midfielder line by Mourinho just now because the personnel on the defensive midfielder did give De Bruyne a chance. Therefore, he must add defense on the midfielder line to not give the Crystal Palace people any chance.

Mourinho really went all out to win this game.

Currently, Chelsea's formation has become 5410.

Five people lined up on the back line, and four people on the midfielder line in front of the back line.

Individuals lined up. Drogba took his position in the midfield line in front of the defensive midfielder, and there was no one on the front line.

Yes, Drogba is not standing as a forward, but as a midfielder.

Because the entire Chelsea team was already trapped near the penalty area, Drogba was always patrolling and defending near the top of the penalty area.

This Mourinho really put the bus in full swing.

Seeing Chelsea's formation, Tong Yi was speechless.

This guy Mourinho really interprets utilitarian football to the extreme!

However, you can't say Mourinho is wrong. It's hard to say that if it were him, he might have made the same choice as Mourinho. For three points, it’s not shabby!

However, this scene is very bad for Crystal Palace now.

It is really difficult to break through such a bus defense.

Substitution, Tong Yi also played the last person, he replaced Kanter with Goretzka.

Mourinho's side is fully defensive, while Crystal Palace's side is completely defensive and is fully attacking.

This made the fans on both sides look at each other in shock and excitement.

This is simply a head-on confrontation between two extreme schools!

So exciting!

Of course, the fans of both sides are also very worried. For them, both teams are walking a tightrope on a cliff. It is really very dangerous. If they make a mistake, they will be hated for eternity, and they will be shattered to pieces!

Very suspenseful and dangerous!

However, everyone admires the courage of these two head coaches!

These two guys really dare to play!

Everyone on Chelsea's side shrank, and the ball naturally came to the feet of the Crystal Palace people. They besieged Chelsea, and in the 89th minute of the game, Crystal Palace created an excellent opportunity. Goretzka at the front of the penalty area took a risk and sent a fatal through ball. The football actually slipped through the gaps in the crowd and rolled to the feet of Salah who came in diagonally from the wing. Salah directly faced the goalkeeper. Courtois shot a long shot from a small angle, and the football passed Courtois. When he saw the football was about to fly into the goal, Terry, who quickly slid back from the tackle, used his long legs to hook the football on the goal line. go out.

But the rescue didn't go too far, and he rolled directly in front of Mane on the other side.

Mane ignored Cahill's brutal tackle and risked injury by quickly hitting the ball with one leg, and the ball shot toward the Chelsea goal like lightning.

Just when everyone thought that the goal was bound to be scored, Courtois in front of the goal actually raised his long legs and blocked the football under the eyes of everyone in disbelief. The football quickly spun upwards. It flew out directly against the outside of the goal, and then fell into the top net of the goal!

The ball didn't go in!

The Chelsea people staged a magical and desperate defense! It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands in front of their goal intercepting Crystal Palace's shot, preventing the football from flying into Chelsea's goal.
