Torino Sport focuses on Chen Fan playing as a central defender: "It is impossible for anyone to imagine that a coach would put the strongest striker in the team in the position of central defender, and he is a man-marking central defender!"

But in the battle of the century between Real Madrid and Barcelona, someone did this, and it worked wonders!

After Pepe's red card, Mourinho asked Chen to fill the gap with Pepe's departure and play the marking centre-back!

Messi was in great form last night, constantly putting pressure on the Real Madrid backline, and Pepe reluctantly brought him down to receive a red card when he lost his position.

In order to curb Messi's play, Mourinho had to send another player to mark Messi, so he thought of Chen.

Why does Real Madrid have to have a marking central defender, and why does it have to keep a special person to guard Messi?

Why did he think of Chen?

It starts with this year's Spanish Super Cup.

The first leg of the Spanish Super Cup was played at Camp Nou, Mourinho put Chen on the bench and played against Barcelona, and Barcelona made the score 3-0 in the second half about 30 minutes!

It was only at this time that Mourinho remembered Chen, the star known as the 'Barsac Star', but something shocking happened to the world - Chen refused to play!

In the end, Real Madrid lost 0-3!

After the game, Chen's behavior shocked the whole world and set off a whirlpool of public opinion, and Chen, Mourinho, and Real Madrid were pushed to the forefront!

There is also a dark tide within Real Madrid, and it is said that there was a fierce dispute in the dressing room after the game!

In a stormy situation, Real Madrid ushered in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup at the Bernabeu.

If Real Madrid wants to achieve a super comeback at home, they must achieve a score of more than 4-0 at home, which is a basically unattainable wish.

In order to create this miracle, Mourinho asked Pepe to specifically target Messi, and judging from the effect of the game, Pepe completed the task very well and did not give Messi a chance to perform.

Real Madrid won the game with a score of 6-1 with Chen's hat trick and goals from Ramos and others, achieving a super comeback and cheering the world!

From that game, Mourinho found a way to contain Messi, so he continued to send Pepe to guard Messi in last night's game of the century.

Obviously, Messi is great, he's improving all the time, he's finding a way to break Pepe's marking – running off the ball and getting sharper breaks.

That's why Pepe brought him down and got a red card.

As for why Mourinho thought of Chen after Pepe was sent off, it had to start with Ajax.

Chen made his debut from Ajax and the first position of his career was at right-back!

But he gradually showed his attacking talent in the game, and Basten kept moving him forward until he was placed in the forward position!

Chen, who made his debut as a full-back, is extremely scary defensively.

After his move to Arsenal, whenever the team was leading and the defence was tight, Arsene Wenger would change formation, allowing Chan to return to the midfield position to mark the opposition's most dangerous players.

In this way, Arsenal eliminated Barcelona in the knockout rounds of the Champions League for the second consecutive season.

Among them, Chen Fan's successful targeting of Messi is an important reason for Arsenal's success, so Mourinho remembered Chen for the first time!

That's how Chen became a marking centre-back!

Judging from the actual effect, Chen's individual combat ability is really strong, and the powerful one is desperate.

Chen blocked Messi's two inevitable shots!

The successful defense against Messi was the basis for Real Madrid's reversal last night, and it would depend on goals to reverse it.

Chen didn't score much last night, and in the first half he was blocked by Barcelona when he played as a striker, and in this situation, he was very clever in choosing to pass the ball, sending two clever passes to help Benzema score twice.

Especially Benzema's first goal, Real Madrid only took 23 seconds to break through Barcelona's goal.

In the second half, Chen moved back to mark Messi, and he had little chance to participate in the attack.

When Messi made it 3-2 with a penalty, Chen attacked, and he was frequently involved in the attack.

In the 41st minute of the second half, he broke through with the ball and was brought down by Sergio Busquets, and Real Madrid were awarded a well-placed direct free-kick.

When everyone thought that Chen would shoot directly, he sent the football to the feet of Alonso, who sent the football into the Barcelona goal!

Real Madrid equalised with difficulty!

Barcelona, who played with one more man in the ensuing game, launched a tidal wave of attacks on Real Madrid, and if it weren't for Casillas's bravery, Barcelona had every chance to strike at the last moment.

Real Madrid were crumbling, and the hearts of the home fans in the stands hung in their throats, and they didn't know if their team would be able to withstand Barca's onslaught at the last minute.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Barcelona got a free kick opportunity in front of the Real Madrid penalty area, and Messi's free kick went around the wall and went straight to the top right corner of the goal!

Casillas failed to touch the football, and when the Real Madrid fans despaired, "Pong! ......", the football was rejected by the door frame!

The heart of the Real Madrid fans finally fell, and at this time, the most exciting picture of the whole game happened - Chen knocked the football that rebounded back into the penalty area to Marcelo on the side, and Marcelo then passed the football to Chen again, and Chen drove straight into the football with the football and staged a single ride that made people's blood boil!

He beat five Barcelona players in a row to send the football into the Barcelona goal and completed the stunner!

At that moment, the light of the whole world was on Chen, and he was the focus of the whole world!

At that moment, the Bernabeu went crazy......

This heart-wrenching run reminds us of Milan superstar and Africa's only World Footballer of the Year – George Weah!

Chen, who switched to central defender, can still do anything, and can still kill opponents at the last moment! ”

……

Chen Fan didn't pay much attention to the praise of the media, for him, playing football is work, and it is a job he loves.

He rededicated himself to training on a daily basis.

However, there have been subtle changes within Real Madrid - the relationship between the local gang and Chen Fan has become more harmonious, and those players who are neutral and wait and see also have the intention of moving closer to the local gang.

This gave the Portuguese a sense of isolation.

Originally, Pepe had a good relationship with the local gang, and there was no problem with Real Madrid, which advocated bravery, and this kind of thing was not bad, but now that the local gang and the Portuguese gang are in a moment of hostility, this red card will give the local gang an excuse to attack.

Ramos and Casillas took the opportunity to challenge Mourinho: "Pepe hasn't been in great form lately, so why put him on the pitch in such a crucial game?

As you can see, Pepe took the initiative to apply for a red card, which put us in a huge passivity!

If it weren't for Chen, what would have been the result of last night's game, do you know? ”

What can Mourinho do with these two?

Can you drive them away like you drove Raul away?

Casillas is now at the peak of his career, Ramos is maturing, and he can get rid of the declining Raul, but there is nothing he can do about the two.

So Mourinho can only explain to the two of them.

In this way, what no one expected was that although Real Madrid won the Spanish national derby, there was a turbulent internal tide!
