"Central defender Mariappa comes on, replacing forward Zaha."
"Defensive midfielder Gedou pulled up and replaced forward Fraser Campbell."
"Ah, after being equalized by Chelsea, it seems that Crystal Palace is going to make major adjustments."
"Withdrawing two forwards and replacing them with a central defender and a defensive midfielder, it seems that Warnock is going to defend."
"After the substitutions, Crystal Palace's formation also changed to a 5-4-1. Only Glenn Murray was left in front to harass, and most of the players returned to their own half."
"It seems that Warnock is really frightened by Chelsea's sharp attack in these ten minutes. Maybe he just wants to take one point from Chelsea now!"
On the sidelines, the Chelsea coaching staff also saw the changes at Crystal Palace.
Scaloni's originally tense expression had now relaxed, and he said to Pan Yi with a smile: "Boss, it seems that we can finally escape here today. They are not planning to attack!"
Steve Holland also wiped a drop of sweat from his forehead: "Yes, the boss's bold substitution really scared me, but I really didn't expect... This is not bad, it is a tie,
After all, we are missing one person."
"How about a tie?" Pan Yi chuckled: "He wants to tie, but I don't want to!"
"What?" Scaloni and Holland both stared.
Although they have been working with Pan Yi for several months, they have a certain understanding of this young coach.
That means you have a strong desire to win. As long as you can win the game, you must win!
But the problem is that there is one less player in the away game today. Chasing two goals is already very difficult, so we can just give it up as soon as we get better.
Now Crystal Palace has accumulated a lot of troops in the backcourt, leaving only one person in front, just to play defensive counterattack.
Chelsea has few people and has problems covering the defensive area. If another strong attack reveals any flaws, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?
"In the last few minutes, everyone should press forward and attack me, leaving Zuma alone behind."
"..." The two assistant coaches were surprised again.
This is too risky!
Pan Yi said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of their counterattack. Warnock's substitution clearly means he doesn't want to win. Getting a point is his current goal."
"Don't forget that they kept Glenn Murray in front, but the fact is that he has played for more than 80 minutes and his physical energy has been almost exhausted. Staying behind to defend will only hinder the team."
"And even if they do have a chance to counterattack, they won't invest many troops. Basically, Murray is left to attack alone, and whatever he can do will count."
"But he is already a 30-year-old veteran and cannot run fast at all. And Zuma, who we stayed behind, has amazing speed and explosive power, so he is not afraid of such a long-distance pursuit."
"So... instead we have to attack with all our strength, try to score a goal, and win the final victory!"
"Just press and hit!"
------------------
"The game has entered the final stoppage time."
"In the past few minutes, the situation on the court seemed a bit strange."
"Crystal Palace almost put 11 people in front of their own penalty area, set up their buses and started to defend."
"On Chelsea's side, there are nine people attacking and one person defending."
"Yes, even Zouma, the only genuine central defender left on the field, has already stood on the center arc, and goalkeeper Courtois is not far away from him."
"This makes us think about a question: Which side of the field was sent off?"
"Even the actions of the two head coaches on the sidelines made me deeply suspicious."
"Crystal Palace head coach Warnock has been waving his players back to defend. When the players get the ball, they try to delay as much time as possible instead of investing their troops to move forward."
"Chelsea head coach Pan Yi is making gestures to let the players attack. He seems to have completely forgotten that he has one less person than his opponent on the court!"
"Chelsea is indeed pressing hard! They are attacking with all their strength and it looks like they are still falling behind..."
"This also shows the difference in momentum between the two sides. After equalizing the score...ah, let's look at this ball!"
On the field, Chelsea has begun to take the ball from the wing to find the two centers in the middle.
After all, it is already the second minute of injury time, and today’s stoppage time is only 3 minutes.
In other words, there is only the last minute of the game!
So Chelsea also began to use the simplest, most direct, and relatively inefficient long pass to lob!
However, since Chelsea now has two centers in Lukaku and Bamford, plus two wing-backs who can also intervene on the other side, the threat is not small.
This time, after Hazard failed to break through on the left wing, he knocked the ball back to Marcos Alonso behind him.
Alonso didn't stop the ball, he just glanced at the penalty area, then used a big kick to pass the ball.
Every second counts now!
In the middle of the penalty area, it was Lukaku who grabbed this spot.
Originally, Hangeland got stuck and stood in front of Lukaku, but Lukaku cleverly stepped forward and hit the ball.
However, because of this circling movement, he was unable to directly attack with a header, so he came up with a backward rub.
The ball flew to the far post.
There is another Chelsea center Bamford.
Watching him was Crystal Palace center back Mariappa, who had just come on the field.
This Jamaican defender is only 178cm tall and weighs only 75kg. He is a chasing-type defender.
But although he can't compete with Bamford in grabbing headers, he is good at harassing opponents with small movements in his hands, making it impossible for Bamford to head the ball comfortably.
So Bamford just reluctantly took off and hit the ball, but he only slightly changed the direction of the ball and could not form a goal attack.

So the ball flew towards the bottom line of the far post and was about to go out of bounds.
At this moment, a tall Chelsea player quickly inserted himself from the right rib and appeared there!
Then he fired a volley!
It's Yinvanovich!
This shot, which was already close to a zero-degree angle, was shot with full force by Yinvanovic.
Crystal Palace goalkeeper Speroni, who was only four or five meters away from the ball, could not make any movement at all. The ball went directly over his head and directly into the net!
"goalllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"Chelsea scored again!!!!"
"Oh my God, they really did it!"
"In the 92nd minute, Chelsea scored another victory and the score became 2:3!"
"The header relay between Chelsea's two centers, the right wing-back Yin Vanovic suddenly moved forward, and then hit a volley to the world!"
"The power of this shot is really great, I feel like the net is going to be broken!"
"Looking at this angle again, it reminds me of Van Basten's zero-degree shot in the 1988 European Cup..."
"This goal was already in the last minute of the game, and this should be the final score of this game!"
"This is so unbelievable!"
"Chelsea scored three goals in a row at the last minute of the game with one less player than its opponent, completing an epic reversal!"
"Ah, I just noticed that the three people who completed this goal connection are all substitute players."
"Pan Yi's substitution once again played a decisive role!"
"Judging from the performance of this game, I feel that it can really be said that this Chelsea team will be invincible!"
------------------
In the stands, the moment Ivanovic's volley penetrated the Crystal Palace goal, Parish sat back on his chair weakly, as if all his strength had been drained from his body.
As the owner of Crystal Palace, he was undoubtedly very excited when he saw his team leading by two goals.
At that time, he even wondered whether he was right in inviting Warnock instead of Pan Yi?
Perhaps a "dirty" coach like Warnock is more suitable for the current Crystal Palace team?
But this mood only lasted seventy minutes.
After Pan Yi made a substitution and quickly scored an equalizer, Parrish realized that there was still a certain gap in the level of the two coaches.
The reason why Chelsea is willing to offer Pan Yi the highest salary in the world is definitely not because Abramovich is a stupid and rich second-rate boss!
On the contrary, Abu knows the goods!
But at this time, Parrish can still be satisfied with the result.
After all, although they failed to win Chelsea, they were able to draw with their opponents and stop their winning streak. This is a day when Crystal Palace can feel proud in the Premier League.
He was even pleased to see that his head coach had the same idea as him and changed players and formations to ensure the tie.
In this way, everyone works together to make a draw. I get a point to gain face, and you continue to remain undefeated and occupy the top spot. Isn't it beautiful?
But who would have thought that after the draw, Pan Yi not only did not think about keeping the tie, but instead decided to press hard.
This is really crazy!
What’s even crazier is that he actually did it!
Pan Yi's Chelsea is really awesome! This is okay!
Parish, who was sitting in the chair with a depressed look on his face, finally realized what kind of coach he had missed.
This is not just a head coach who is proficient in tactics and has superb on-the-spot command;
He is also a coach who always pursues victory and can bring a new temperament to the entire team!
Having him is the most critical figure that can transform the entire club into a truly strong team!
After winning this game, Chelsea has now played eight rounds of the league and has won 24 points. Who else can do this?
With such a performance, Chelsea seems to be alone in the highly competitive Premier League.
If they can't win the championship, they'll really be in trouble.
And Parrish's Crystal Palace...
It seems that after missing Pan Yi, he really can only stay in the relegation zone.
------------------
The referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.
"He played well and caused us a lot of trouble."
Pan Yi's voice rang in Neil Warnock's ears.
Then he took a breath and stood up from the coaching bench, feeling a little more awake.
After Ivanovic scored the go-ahead goal, Neil Warnock was completely stunned.
He just sat there in his seat, as if he was still dreaming until the game was over.
It wasn't until Pan Yi took the initiative to come to the home team's coaching bench to shake hands with him that Warnock woke up.
It was also at this time that he suddenly realized that his back was cold and covered with sweat.
Too scary! This Chelsea!
Neil Warnock has been coaching since 1980 and is an old coach with more than 30 years of coaching experience. What games and teams have you never seen?
But there is really no team that can put as much pressure on him as Chelsea did in the last 20 minutes.
Especially their violent offensives that they can continue to launch even when one person is missing makes Neil Warnock still feel scared.
"Congratulations, Mr. Pan Yi! You...I lost." Warnock shook his head, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Pan Yi.
This is really convincing.
But in Warnock's heart, he was still a little proud.
That is, facing such a strong coach in front of him, facing such a strong team like Chelsea, he only lost one goal!
This is an achievement that neither Manchester City, Arsenal, nor Dortmund have been able to achieve!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After rounding off, he can also compare with Wenger and Klopp's famous coaches!...
Of course, when the game comes to this, if there is anyone who is dissatisfied, it may be Gary Neville, who is sitting motionless in the Sky Sports studio.
He was probably convinced.
He also knows that there is really no team that can score three goals in a row to win in such a difficult situation;
He also understands that the substitutions and adjustments made by Pan Yi in the last 20 minutes are really not something that any head coach has the courage and ability to do;
He knows better that in an away game, when there is one less player, everyone can attack and strive for victory. Not everyone has the courage and confidence...
But he just had to be tough, otherwise he would be laughed at by so many guests at the scene?
At the end of this program, he stood up from the scene:
"Hmph, this Crystal Palace is still too weak. See you in the next round at Old Trafford!"
------------------
"Pan Yi's magical substitution created an epic reversal, and ten-man Chelsea defeated Crystal Palace 3-2 in an away game!"
"Belgium's two stars shine, Lukaku scores the first goal with one shot and one pass!"
"Who said you can't win if you're two goals behind with one player missing? Pan Yi proved that anything is possible! How can you not love the Premier League like this?"
"Chelsea has a terrifying eight-game winning streak, just one step away from the Premier League record"
"Awkward! Crystal Palace was happy too early, and the smiling face turned into crying in the last twenty minutes"
"Chelsea star Zola praised Pan Yi: He is the one who can lead Chelsea to the top!"
……
The next day, all major sports newspapers and media outlets in the UK reported on Chelsea's away game against Crystal Palace, almost all with front-page headlines.
Naturally, Pan Yi received numerous praises, and the media was also full of praise for the Chelsea players.
Especially the players who were replaced later, especially Lukaku.
Although he only played for more than 20 minutes, many media believed that this was one of Lukaku's best performances after entering the Chelsea first team.
"First, like his Belgian compatriot and Pan Yi's favorite De Bruyne, he made a beautiful pass in the midfield, allowing Hazard to shoot successfully;"
"Then he showed his speed again, and after successfully fighting offside, he calmly shot and scored, allowing Chelsea to equalize the score in a short time;"
"Although the last ball was attacked by Ivanovic and the assist was also attributed to Bamford, there is no doubt that Lukaku's first challenge for the top was very crucial. Now his role as a fulcrum in the frontcourt is revealed.
No doubt."
"This center, who was originally going to be sold by Chelsea, has been trusted by head coach Pan Yi this season. He has been carefully trained and given enough playing time."
"And his performance did not disappoint Pan Yi. He has become a crucial member of Chelsea's offensive lineup."
Of course, in addition to praise, some media also criticized Azpilicueta, who was sent off with a red card, believing that it was his lack of calmness that caused the team to fall into a passive position.
But more media quoted Pan Yi's speech at the post-match press conference:
"In my opinion, there is no problem with Azpilicueta's defense."
"On the contrary, I very much appreciate his active defensive attitude, and he will continue to appear in my game lineup. There will be no change in this."
"As for why he got a red card and was awarded a penalty? You have to ask Mr. Atkinson."
"Perhaps this is caused by different people's different judgment standards. I can't comment too much on this, and the Football Association doesn't like the head coach to comment too much on the referee."
"After all, I have to save my money and go to David Luiz's restaurant to eat."
"I heard that his restaurant is going bankrupt due to being eaten by my players. Yes, Kanter almost eats three meals a day there..."
------------------
While Chelsea narrowly defeated Crystal Palace in an away game, the results of several other games in the eighth round of the Premier League were also announced.
In a powerful dialogue that attracted more attention, Manchester City defeated Tottenham 4:1 at home!
In this game, Argentine striker Sergio Aguero scored four goals!
In the first half, Aguero took the lead with a right-footed shot. Eriksen equalized 1 minute later. Then Lampard made a point and Aguero hit the penalty kick.
After 45 minutes, Manchester City temporarily leads 2-1.
In the second half, Soldado missed a point, Aguero scored 2 goals, and Manchester City finally beat Tottenham 4-1.
The result of this game also allowed Manchester City to continue to rank second in the standings with 16 points and a record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, but it was already 8 points behind Chelsea, which topped the list.
Ranked third is Southampton with 16 points!
They achieved even more jaw-dropping results in this round.
They slaughtered Sunderland with a score of 8:0!
In this team, there are actually many players we are familiar with, which is why they performed so well this season.
In addition to Schneiderlin, Tadic and Pellet who scored in this game, there are also Portuguese international Fonte, Belgian international Alderweireld, Japanese international Maya Yoshida and others on the back line.<
/p>
Liverpool also faced a London team, Queens Park Rangers, on the road, and also narrowly defeated them with a score of 3:2.
It is worth mentioning that they also completed the victory in the 90th minute. Brazilian international Coutinho scored the last goal of the game and helped Liverpool win.
The other two traditional strong teams in the big6 are not so lucky.
Arsenal was held to a 2-2 draw by Hull City at home, while Manchester United was drawn with the same score by West Bromwich Albion away from home.
Such a result has allowed the four teams of Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham to be ranked neatly from fifth to eighth in the standings.
Among the top four, in addition to Chelsea, Manchester City, and Southampton, the Hammers occupy the fourth position.
In this round, they defeated Burnley away from home with the goal of Enzo Valencia (the Colombian forward who scored the first goal of the 2022 World Cup).
Therefore, after eight rounds, the Premier League pattern this season is chaos with a little order, stability with passion.
Speaking of order, that’s because big6 are all in the top eight, which is not too outrageous;
But there are two small and medium-sized teams in the first four, so the scene is naturally a bit chaotic.
It is said to be stable because the points gap between everyone is not too big, and almost everyone can reverse the ranking within one or two wins;
But this "everyone" does not include Chelsea, who is full of passion and leads the way!
Even Manchester City, who are chasing Chelsea the most, have lost two games and drawn one.
And Chelsea didn’t lose a point!
Scored 30 goals, conceded only 6 goals, and had a goal difference of 24. These statistics rank first in the Premier League!
This feeling is like Chelsea is a team that descended from outer space. It has caused a dimensionality reduction blow to the top players in the Premier League, which resulted in such outrageous data.
There are poems to prove it:
Li Liyuan is on the score, one kick and one win.
The blind monk couldn't pull it, but it turned around in an instant.
Of course, some people have expressed caution about Chelsea's next two games.
Because they first have to face the strong Italian team Roma in the Champions League group stage, and then they have an away game against Manchester United.
Facing strong opponents continuously, can Chelsea maintain its form?
If nothing else, Roma is in really good shape this season!
Serie A has now played seven rounds, and they are only one point behind Juventus, ranking second in the standings, and are expected to launch an impact on the Serie A championship.
There are also many famous players in the Roma team, except for the veteran captain Totti, the ten thousand-year vice-captain De Rossi, Florenzi...
There are also stars such as Maicon, Thiago Motta, Nainggolan, Pjanic, Gervinho, Paredes...
And former Chelsea player Ashley Cole!
The leader of this Roma team is Frenchman Rudy Garcia.
(If you've only heard his name recently, it's probably because he's now the head coach of Saudi Arabia's Victory Team in Riyadh.)
Of course, he is indeed no ordinary person.
Rudy Garcia once led Lille to the club's first league championship in 57 years in the 2010-2011 season, and won the French Cup. He was finally elected as the French Football Association's 2011 Coach of the Year.
He was hired as the coach of Roma last season, and the team immediately created the best record in the league with 10 consecutive wins in the beginning, setting a team record with 85 points, and finally helped the team win the league runner-up that season.
This season, Rudy Garcia is even more ambitious. He not only wants to win the first Serie A championship in the past 15 years in Serie A, but also wants to win in the Champions League.
And the opponent he wants to defeat the most right now is, of course, Chelsea, the most watched team in the Premier League and Europe!
Many media also believe that in front of such an Italian team with excellent form and solid defense, Chelsea may not necessarily get any benefits...
