Real Madrid sent 4231. Mourinho's formation has basically never been done since the Chelsea era. Even in Inter Milan, he often uses this formation. It is not difficult to guess his formation arrangement.

Goalkeeper: Casillas

Defenders: Aveloa, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrand

Middleback: Khedira, Alonso

Front Middle: Kaka

Forwards: Ronaldo, Callehon, Benzema

This formation is somewhat different from Wen Sheng and his guess. First, the left-back is Coentrand in the defender position. Originally, they thought Marcelo might start, and secondly, Kaka appeared in the front midfielder position. He should have been a Turk, but the Turk was injured.

The Turkish injury is a good thing for Crystal Palace. After all, his creativity in the frontcourt is quite strong. Kaka is a scoring midfielder. When he was young, he was good at breaking through and lacked in scoring and creativity. Now he has been seriously injured and his body has been greatly affected. He is no longer the Kaka of the past.

The 433 formation sent by Wen Shengze from Crystal Palace.

Goalkeeper: Speroni

Defenders: Marjo, Benatia, McCarthy, Taivo

Midfielder: Melo, Kanter, Stroman

Forwards: Mertens, Valdy, Tarabut

Although Mkhitaryan's performance was not very bright when he played against West Brumvic last round, they still believed that Mkhitaryan would most likely appear in the front midfielder position in the pre-match media forecast. However, Wen Sheng accidentally slapped them in the face and did not set up a front midfielder in this game, but set up a three-midfielder, and Melo's position was just dragged back.

"There is no doubt that Daniel must play a defensive counterattack in this game!" As soon as the starter came out, the commentators in the live broadcast room such as Leinker could easily see Wensheng's twists and turns.

That's right, Wen Sheng's tactic against Real Madrid is to counterattack.

Mourinho's tactical core at Real Madrid is not difficult to guess at. Their best use of offense and defense conversion opportunities, their offensive speed is very fast, and they play similarly to Chelsea back then, and it also combines Mourinho's concept of setting the midfielder in Inter Milan.

It will take time to deal with such a team.

What's more, for Crystal Palace itself, De Bruyne's absence greatly reduced Crystal Palace's offensive ability. Wen Sheng would definitely not naively think that playing against Real Madrid is a good choice.

Mourinho sat in the coaching seat without any special expression. He had some expectations for the possible response plan of Crystal Palace, especially he and his coaching staff had long believed that Crystal Palace would put himself in a weak position.

However, Mourinho still felt a little regretful after all, and he hoped that Crystal Palace could play against his team without knowing the height of the world.

Crystal Palace is not the team in La Liga. They have a head coach who is very good at defense and a group of defensive players with good abilities.

Many teams in La Liga chose the path to Real Madrid and Barcelona at that time, but their head coaches were not very strong in coaching defense, and were influenced by the La Liga environment for a long time. Where do many head coaches really defend?!

Therefore, Real Madrid and Barcelona can often create bloody crimes in the league.

But Crystal Palace is different. Mourinho can foresee that the more ruthless his team is, the more deadly his Crystal Palace will be.

The German Brucht was the head of the match.

The pre-match ceremony was over and all parties were in place. When time came, Bruchy blew the whistle.

Real Madrid, wearing a white jersey, took the lead in kicking off, and Vardy rushed forward to press them like a mad dog.

Unlike Wensheng's characteristics, Mourinho does not attach much importance to transmission in the backcourt. They emphasize fast-paced attacks. Simply put, Real Madrid's playing style is actually quite British.

So they couldn't pass a few kicks. Under the pressure of Crystal Palace, they quickly passed the ball to the frontcourt and looked for Benzema.

Benzema and Benatia had their first confrontation. The height difference between the two was not very big, and Benzema was nearly 190, but this head-on confrontation was completely Benatia's strength. Benatia jumped up from behind Benzema and headed the ball to clear the ball directly.

At this moment, Bruch's whistle sounded, and Benatia was determined to be a foul.

Benatia opened her hands, "Where did I foul this?!"

This is pretending to be pure, and Benatia did make small moves with her hands behind her back.

Wen Sheng also complained loudly on the sidelines that this situation would not be judged as a foul in the Premier League, but the same thing is really unsure in the Champions League. It is nothing wrong with Bruchy's foul.

Wensheng definitely doesn't want Real Madrid to get a set piece opportunity in the frontcourt, and this Real Madrid header is also famous for being awesome.

Ramos, Pepe, Khedira, Benzema, and Ronaldo are all very good at heading. In La Liga, they rely on set pieces to score many times, which is very troublesome to defend. Wen Sheng is not afraid, so he complains to Bruch.

Such a heavyweight contest, a trivial penalty is likely to affect the trend of the entire game.

Of course, Bruce could not change the penalty. Wen Sheng's complaint was nothing more than that. Facing Real Madrid's super attack ability, it was almost impossible to completely limit them without using some unjust means in the defense.

In the battle between strong and weak, even if the weak team set up a bus to win the final victory, there are often controversies after the game, because almost all the examples of weak teams defeating strong battles are indispensable for using unjust means such as fouls.

Alonso's set balls were well-placed. Crystal Palace conducted special targeted training on set ball defense before the game, but this time it still failed to defend. Pepe grabbed the landing ball and headed the ball, but his attacking position was too straight, and Speroni steadily took the ball off.

"Crystal Palace should avoid giving Real Madrid too many set-piece opportunities in the backcourt!" Reinkell read a few numbers casually.

"Yes, their set-piece skills are excellent. Don't forget that Ronaldo is also an excellent set-piece penalty kicker!" Ian Wright fully agreed.

Ronaldo is not a star in the future to hit free kicks, and his free kick level is now quite high.

I just don't know why I kept thugs later.

The game continued, and Crystal Palace put the center of interception at the beginning of the start. The forward line composed of Vardy, Mertens and others is mainly responsible for sweeping the frontcourt and catching the mistakes of the opponent's defensive players. Neither Pepe nor Ramos are the kind of central defenders who can launch accurate long passes in the backcourt, but these two people are particularly focused on attacking. In the past, they have played fire in the backcourt a lot. Valdy and others only need to catch them and make a mistake.

Kanter and Stroman in the midfield formed the second line of defense to limit Alonso and Khedira from the ball.

Melo is in the back midfielder, and his responsibility is not to specifically guard Kaka, but to observe the position at any time, focusing on restoring the center position between the small penalty area and the large penalty area.

According to statistics, Real Madrid is very good at scoring in this area, and Wensheng will of course strengthen the defense of this area.

The benefits of collecting football data are here. Through data analysis, you can basically determine where they like to pass the ball and where they like to shoot, because it is difficult to change when they are used to the field.

The passer passes that point for a long time. Even if the coach explains to him, "You need to change the passing path!", it is often difficult for the player to change immediately, and he will still habitually pass the ball to the familiar point.

Melo's position is particularly important. Before the game, Wensheng talked to him about his role positioning for a long time to help imagine the situation on the field.

To be honest, Melo is not necessarily suitable for playing in this position. His usual midfielder roles do not often retreat so deeply, and his position selection is not very good. His real highlight is to actively intercept and grab the ball. When Nekant, Matic, and Stroman are not a midfielder suitable for such positioning, he can only lower the middle and pull up the ball, so that Melo can just take the lead.
