After Ancelotti made the substitutions and added Malouda who had been replaced before, the team adjusted the formation to 433, but it was different from Wen Sheng's three midfielders. There were two people in Wen Sheng's three midfielders.

In defence, Chelsea uses a single midfielder, Essien plays as a single midfielder.

Now that they are lagging behind, they must invest more troops in the attack.

"What should we do?!" Hawkins came to Wen Sheng with the tactical board.

He had to ask, there were two options left for Crystal Palace, they could continue to confront the opponent head-on, or they could take a defensive counterattack.

Wen Sheng thought for a while and said, "It's better to focus on defense and defend this victory!"

Determined, Wen Sheng immediately conveyed his intentions to the players on the court, defended and counterattacked, and retreated across the board.

Lawrence went to discuss with Hawking and others to see who would be replaced, and gave Wen Sheng some reference. They had not used a single substitution spot in this game so far.

The first substitution was given to Stroman. Wen Sheng replaced Stroman with Matic. Matic is tall enough to move a little slower. Compared to Stroman, running is a weakness, but if it is

Defensively, he is enough.

"Performed very well today! Keep up the good work, Kevin!" Wen Sheng gave Stroman a hug after the game.

"Thank you, boss!" Stroman was covered in sweat, but he was very happy. He couldn't hesitate to get praise from his boss.

In the summer, he never thought that he would jump directly from the Dutch second division to the Premier League. Now he is quite satisfied with his situation.

Wen Sheng patted him on the shoulder and asked him to rest.

On the court, Crystal Palace basically retreated. The presence of Malouda and Anelka brought positive factors to Chelsea. Now they can let their players try to work alone even if they face a steel-barrel formation in attack.

Both Malouda and Anelka have certain breakthrough abilities, but they are not too young, but they are playing as substitutes and do not worry about physical problems.

Once the player's physical fitness fails, his technical movements will be deformed, the success rate of breakthroughs with the ball will be reduced, and he will be easily injured.

Wen Sheng kept calling the players on the sidelines to run and pass the ball. This was his habit. No matter whether the players could hear it or not, he just wanted to shout anyway.

Crystal Palace's defense was well organized. The two full-backs, Klein and Johnson, were under a lot of pressure, but with the help of their teammates' defense, they didn't make too many mistakes.

The bosses, fans, and cheerleaders in the stands are all very nervous. Time is getting shorter and shorter, and this kind of nervousness is getting more serious.

Being suppressed for such a long time puts a huge psychological burden on Crystal Palace players.

In the 85th minute, Crystal Palace got a chance to counterattack. The players immediately rushed forward like wild horses that had lost their stiffness. As a result, the offense was not very beautiful. The team's offense was blocked, and then they began to control and the formation became more pressing.

This is completely inconsistent with Wen Sheng's requirements. If it were Wen Sheng's requirements, he would ask the team to play the ball forward as soon as possible and not try to control it at this time.

However, the players did not do this. Maybe they also wanted to control the ball and pass the time.

The result was counterproductive. Chelsea stole the ball from De Bruyne in the midfield and then launched a fast break. Anelka broke into the penalty area. Johnson couldn't keep up and put a tackle behind him. The ball should have been tackled, but Anelka

Erka fell to the ground.

Oliver's whistle sounded and he pointed to the penalty spot.

Chelsea gets a penalty!

"He scooped the ball!" Wen Sheng shouted loudly, jumping up and down on the sidelines!

"Penalty kick! He fouled!" Ancelotti also shouted on the sidelines!

An Pang's performance at this moment is completely inconsistent with his title of Confucian Commander. His movements and expressions on the sidelines are full of emotions, just like Wen Sheng.

I can only blame this penalty kick for being so crucial!

If Chelsea equalizes the score, then they can continue to be the fourth seed. If they don't get a penalty kick, Crystal Palace can overthrow them and become the fourth seed!

The Crystal Palace players gathered around Oliver. Johnson looked innocent and repeatedly explained that he had tackled the ball first!

Who has the final say at this moment?!

Of course it’s the referee!

Oliver meant what he said!

Perhaps Johnson's reaction was too intense and he uttered arrogant words. After Oliver showed him a yellow card first, he then gave Johnson another yellow card. All of a sudden, it turned into two yellows and one red and he was sent off!

I'll throw your mother away!

Wen Sheng was so angry that he yelled!

Is there such a thing as fun?!

"Black whistle! Fucking naked black whistle!" the fans booed.

"Black whistle! This is a fucking black whistle!" The VIPs from the Crystal Palace in the stands were even more indignant. They felt that they had suffered too much from the referee.

But to be honest, there was nothing wrong with this penalty kick. The only fault was Johnson. He reacted too aggressively and was caught off guard by Anelka. He should not have tackled like that. After all, there was goalkeeper Spero.

No. No.

Oh shit!

Taking advantage of Lampard's penalty kick, Wen Sheng had to discuss substitutions with Lawrence and the others. There were no full-backs, Hills was still injured, and Van Dijk and Morgan were still sitting on the bench.

Playing full back?!

It doesn’t matter if it works or not, it’s urgent, even if it doesn’t work, it has to work!

Wen Sheng replaced Zaha with Morgan, and used Morgan and Benatia to play as central defenders. McCarthy was placed on the left!

De Bruyne regretted it on the court. The loss of the ball this time had a lot to do with him. He was procrastinating in handling the ball. Originally, he should have played the long pass according to the coach's instructions, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, but he didn't.

Compared to defensive counterattack tactics, De Bruyne undoubtedly prefers the feeling of having the ball at his feet.

It’s been a little swollen lately!

As a result, reality told him that the boss's tactics were the winning tactics, and that he would cause problems if he messed around here.

Lampard's penalty kick was scored easily, but this guy didn't celebrate. He grabbed the ball from Speroni and ran towards the center circle.

This kind of move will certainly boost the morale of his teammates. The Chelsea fans in Zandari cheered for Lampard. The Crystal Palace fans obviously didn't like Lampard's move!

What happened?!

Do you really think of us as weaklings?! Don’t even think about whose home field it is?! Who takes the lead first?!

This move also made the Crystal Palace players extremely angry!

What happened?!

Still want to score a goal?! Too little time?!

"Buck your f**king energy! They still want three points! This is Selhurst!" Derry clapped his hands vigorously with anger.

When the kick-off resumed, all Crystal Palace personnel returned to the half-court. Chelsea almost dominated the half-court with only one tactic, constant crosses, trying to cause chaos in the Crystal Palace penalty area.

However they didn't do very well!

Mainly because Drogba is really in trouble!

When one move failed, they tried to strengthen their long-range shots, and the two wings tried hard to break into the penalty area.

How can it be that easy?!

There is one less person in Crystal Palace, but everyone has the same mentality at the moment, that is, they must save one point and cannot concede any more goals!

Five minutes of added time, but Chelsea still failed to open the door to Crystal Palace again.

When Oliver's whistle sounded, Wen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had already stepped out of the shadow of the penalty kick. Johnson's foul was indeed worthy of a penalty kick.

Red card, he knew that Johnson must have made rude remarks, and it was probably not unjust.

It is always good to be able to hold on to one point, at least the points gap is not widened by Chelsea, otherwise the goal of competing for fourth place will be a few points further away!

Although he was very dissatisfied with the score, he still walked onto the court and hugged the players one by one.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

“Well done today!”

When hugging Deli, Deli was a little unhappy and dissatisfied. Wen Sheng comforted him: "Don't worry about it, Sean! Any situation can happen in this kind of game. I know that if we take three points, we will be fourth, but in the future

There are still 8 rounds left in the game, and we still have a chance! The important thing is that we don’t make mistakes next!”

"I know, Daniel!" Derry nodded.
Chapter completed!
