Real Madrid sent 4231, and Mourinho's formation has basically not changed since the Chelsea era, even at Inter Milan he used this formation many times. It's not hard for you to guess his formation.

Goalkeeper: Casillas

Defenders: Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrão

Defenders: Khedira, Alonso

Forward: Kaka

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Callejon, Benzema

There are some discrepancies between this formation and Wensheng's speculation, first of all, the left-back in the back position is Coentrão, originally Wensheng thought that Marcelo might start, and secondly, Kaka appeared in the forward position, which was supposed to be Turkish, but the Turk was injured.

The Turk's injury is a good thing for Crystal Palace, after all, his creativity in the front court is there, quite strong, Kaka is a scoring striker, when he was young, he was good at breaking through, scoring, and lacking in creativity, and now he has been seriously injured, and his body has been greatly affected, and he is no longer the Kaka of the past.

On the Crystal Palace side, Wen Sheng sent a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Speroni

Defenders: Maggio, Benatia, McCarthy, Taiwo

Midfielders: Melo, N'Golo Kante, Stroman

Forwards: Mertens, Vardy, Tarabut

Although Mkhitaryan's performance did not have many bright spots in the last round against West Bromwich Albion, they still believed that Mkhitaryan would appear in the forward position nine times out of ten in the pre-match media predictions, but Wen Sheng accidentally slapped them in the face, and did not set up a midfielder at all in this game, but set up three midfielders, and Melo's position was just delayed.

"There is no doubt that Daniel is definitely going to play a defensive counterattack in this game!" As soon as the first release came out, Lineker and other commentators in the live broadcast room could easily see the twists and turns of Wensheng.

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

Mourinho's tactical core at Real Madrid is not difficult to guess, and they are the best at using the timing of the transition between attack and defence, attacking very quickly, playing in the same way as Chelsea back then, and blending Mourinho's forward setting philosophy with Inter Milan.

Against such a team, you have to follow the slow attrition.

What's more, as far as Crystal Palace itself is concerned, De Bruyne's absence has greatly reduced Crystal Palace's offensive ability, and Wen Sheng will definitely not be naïve to think that playing against Real Madrid is a good choice.

Jose Mourinho sat in the dugout with no special expression, and he had some anticipation of what Palace might do, especially since he and his coaching staff had long believed that Palace would put themselves in a vulnerable position.

However, Mourinho still has some regrets in his heart after all, and he hopes that Crystal Palace can play against his team without knowing the sky.

Crystal Palace are not the teams in La Liga, they have a manager who is very good at defending and a group of defensive players who are very good.

Many teams in La Liga choose to defend when facing Real Madrid and Barcelona, but their managers are not very strong in adjusting their defensive skills, and they have been in the environment of La Liga for a long time.

As a result, Real Madrid and Barcelona are often able to cause bloodshed in the league.

But Crystal Palace is different, Mourinho can foresee that the harder his team presses, the more Crystal Palace will defend to death.

The whistle for the match was the German Bruch.

After the pre-match ceremony, the parties were in place, and when the time came, Bruch blew the whistle for the match.

Real Madrid, dressed in white, kicked off first and Vardy pounced on them like a mad dog.

Unlike Wensheng's characteristics, Mourinho does not pay much attention to passing at the back, they emphasize fast-paced attacks, and simply put, Real Madrid's style of play is actually quite British.

So they couldn't pass a few kicks, and under the pressure of Crystal Palace, they quickly played a long ball forward to find Benzema.

Benzema and Benatia had their first confrontation, the height gap between the two was not very large, and Benzema was also nearly 190, but this head-on confrontation was completely Benatia's strong point, and I saw Benatia jump up from behind Benzema and clear the ball with a header.

Just then Bruch's whistle blew, and Benatia was awarded a foul.

Benatia spread her hands, "Where did I foul this Nima?!" ”

This is pretending to be pure, Benatia did make small movements with his hands behind his back.

Wen Sheng also complained loudly on the sidelines, this situation will not be judged as a foul in the Premier League at all, but the same thing is really impossible to say in the Champions League, and there is nothing wrong with Bruch giving a foul.

Wensheng definitely didn't want Real Madrid to get set-pieces in front, and this Real Madrid header is also notoriously powerful.

Ramos, Pepe, Khedira, Benzema, Ronaldo are all very good at heading, in La Liga they have relied on set-pieces to score many times, and it is very troublesome to defend, and he is not afraid, so he complained to Bruch.

In such a heavyweight match, a trivial penalty is very likely to affect the trend of the whole match.

Of course, it is impossible for Bruch to change the penalty, Wen Sheng's complaint is nothing more than hoping that Bruch can not be so "strict" in the next penalty, in the face of Real Madrid's super attacking ability, it is almost impossible to completely restrict them without using some improper means in the defense.

In the confrontation between the strong and the weak, even if the weak team puts the bus and wins the final victory, the controversy after the game is often constant, because almost all the weak teams beat the strong in the case of weak teams are indispensable to use improper means such as fouls.

Alonso's set-piece was excellent, and Crystal Palace did a special training for the set-piece defense before the game, but this time it still couldn't be prevented, Pepe grabbed the landing point and headed the goal, but his attack was too right, and Speroni took the ball off steadily.

"Crystal Palace should avoid giving Real Madrid too many set-piece opportunities at the back!" Lineker casually read a few numbers.

'yes, their set-piece ability is very good, don't forget that Ronaldo is also a good set-piece peniser!' Ian. Wright couldn't agree more.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not yet a famous free-kick player in the future, and his free-kick level is quite high.

I just don't know why I kept striking iron later.

The game continued, Crystal Palace started to focus on the interception in the midfield, Vardy, Mertens and others formed a forward line mainly responsible for the sweep of the front, catch the mistakes of the opposing defenders, Pepe and Ramos are not the kind of central defenders who can launch accurate long passes in the backfield, but these two people are particularly heavy in attack, in the past they have not played with fire in the backfield, Vardy and others only need to catch them a mistake is a victory.

N'Golo Kante and Stroman formed a second line of defence in midfield, limiting Alonso and Khedira from the ball.

Melo is in the midfield position, and his role is not to keep an eye on Kaka, but to keep an eye on the position at all times, focusing on the middle of the box between the small box and the big box.

According to the statistics, Real Madrid are extremely good at scoring in this area, and Wen Sheng will certainly strengthen the defense in this area.

That's the benefit of collecting football data, and with data analysis, you can basically determine where they like to pass the ball and where they like to shoot, because habits on the pitch are very difficult to change.

The passer has been passing that point for a long time, even if the coach told him that "you need to change the passing path!" But it's often difficult for players to change right away, and they still get used to passing the ball to the point they are used to.

Melo's position is particularly important, and Wen Sheng also talked to him for a long time before the game about the role positioning to help anticipate the situation on the field.

To be honest, Melo is not necessarily suitable for this position, his usual role as a midfielder does not often retreat so deeply, and his position selection is not very good, his real brilliance is the initiative to intercept and grab, when the team Kante, Matic, Stroman does not have a suitable midfielder for such a position, he can only be short and tall, so that Melo will be on it.
