弗兰克：水晶宫体系和曼联相似？不同的球队不能拿来相提并论（弗兰克：别把水晶宫和曼联相提并论，体系各不相同）

Exploring tactical comparisons

I think we can skip exact stats due to uncertainty, but focus on general traits. For instance, the Palace has improved pressing and vertical combinations under Glasner, while Man U shows inconsistent structure with high reliance on transitions. The phrase "不能简单类比" seems relevant here. I should ask the user what they specifically want: a news source, translation, tactical comparison, or summary. Given the minimal prompt, a concise response with bullet points might work best!Crafting a tactical comparison

I want to start by addressing the idea that if he’s referring to Thomas Frank, he has a point about how club models are hard to compare due to differences in resources, squad, culture, and timeline.

Both teams have recently emphasized transitions and quick wide attacks, can press mid-to-high, and rely on athletic wingers and half-space creators.

However, Palace uses a back 3/5 with wingbacks and overloads on the left, while United typically has a back 4 and often focuses more centrally.

I should check if the user wants a deeper tactical breakdown with visuals or match examples, or if they prefer a translation or source in Chinese.
