After Juande Ramos was poached by Tottenham Hotspur, Sevilla’s current manager was replaced by Alvarez.

Although this coach has not won any decent championship trophies, in the face of the booming Crystal Palace, he has no intention of putting on a bus, and still dispatched his usual starting lineup.

striker Negredo, striker Canute

Left midfielder Navas, center midfielder Duscher, center midfielder Zuo Kola, right midfielder Acosta

Left-back Adriano, center-back Squillage, center-back Escud, right-back Dragutinovic

Goalkeeper Palop

On the Crystal Palace side, just after a fierce battle with Liverpool, the physical energy of the players was huge. All the players who played the whole game in that game, Chen Ran were all on the bench.

striker Suarez, striker Cavani

Left midfielder Ribery, center midfielder Mascherano, center midfielder Modric, right midfielder Messi

Left-back Evra, center-back Thiago Silva, center-back Pepe, right-back Maicon

Goalkeeper Cech

Because the two teams were not conservative, the rhythm of you and me was fast, which made the fans hooked.

When the game reached the 27th minute, Ribery broke through the defense of the opposition right-back Dragutinovic on the left and sent the ball into the penalty area of ​​Sevilla.

In the middle, the tall Cavani attracted the attention of the opposing center backs Squelach and Escud.

And Suarez took the opportunity to get to the front point, and a lion shook his head and pushed the ball to Sevilla’s goal.

Goalkeeper Palop reacted a step slower, and by the time he reached out, the ball had already flown into Sevilla’s net.

“GOAL!

”

With Suarez’s goal, Crystal Palace led Sevilla 1-0 away.

Seeing Crystal Palace scoring, Alvarez was quite calm. He stood motionless on the sidelines, without any intention to adjust Sevilla’s tactics.

It is rare to meet such an understanding coach, and Crystal Palace will naturally not be polite.

Just as the first half of the game was about to end, Messi on the right first passed Sevilla’s left-back Adriano through the crotch, and then drove the ball directly into the opponent’s penalty area.

found that the situation was not good, and Sevilla’s midfielder left Kola rushed over to make up the defense.

Seeing Zuo Kola’s action, Messi played a fake shot and a real dunk, and suddenly shook Zuo Kola.

Then Messi looked up at Sevilla’s goal, and just when everyone thought he was going to kick to the goal, Messi passed the ball into an inverted triangle.

At this time, Zuo Kola, who was originally in charge of marking Modric in the midfielder position, was out of position. Seeing the ball rolling towards him, Modric smiled happily and rushed to meet the ball with a volley.

“boom!”

The ball went straight to the top right corner of the Sevilla goal like a cannonball.

Goalkeeper Palop immediately jumped up, but unfortunately Modric shot from a tricky angle. He tried his best and failed to touch the ball. In the end, he could only watch the ball fly into the net from in front of him.

“GOAL!

”

With Modric’s long-range shot, Crystal Palace led Sevilla 2-0 away.

At this moment, Alvarez couldn’t hold his breath any longer, and kicked the mineral water bottle on the ground.

During the intermission, seeing that the game was going well, Chen Ran had no need to send the main players in addition to giving the players some blood as usual.

On the Sevilla side, Alvarez replaced Canute by Fabiano, and the striker was replaced by a striker. Obviously, he still wants to continue to strengthen the attack.

The second half of the game basically replicated the trend of the first half. When the game reached the 62nd minute, Cavani received a free kick from Modric and smashed the ball into Sevilla. goal.

“GOAL!

”

With this header from Cavani, Crystal Palace led Sevilla 3-0 away.

As soon as the third goal was scored, Sevilla was immediately discouraged.

No matter how Alvarez dispatches his troops, the players on the court are already tired.

In the end, with the goals of Suarez, Modric and Cavani, Crystal Palace defeated Sevilla 3-0 away.

At the same time that he won the first win of the UEFA Champions League group stage of the new season, Chen Ran also got a “Level 1 Healing Card” from the system.

After the match against Sevilla, Chen Ran flew back to London with Crystal Palace overnight.

There is no way, in two days, Crystal Palace and Sunderland will play the sixth round of the Premier League.

For this game, Chen Ran once again rotated the starting lineup.

In order to cope with the intensive schedule, he has now split the Crystal Palace lineup in two.

Half of the main players and part of the substitutes can form two sets of lineups whose strength has declined, but their combat effectiveness can still be maintained at a high level. It is enough to deal with opponents who are not very strong.

If you encounter a strong opponent, then combine the two lineups into one and concentrate on fighting the annihilation battle.

In this way, while reducing the physical consumption of the main players, it also ensures that the performance of Crystal Palace will not decline as much as possible, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The starting lineup for the match against Sunderland was arranged by Chen Ran according to this plan. The effect is not bad. With the goals of Tony and Cesc Fabregas, Crystal Palace beat Sunderland 2:1 at the Emirates Stadium.

At the same time that he got three points, Chen Ran also got a “One Sight Card” from the system.

In other Premier League games this round, Chelsea beat Tottenham 3-0 at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool beat West Ham 3-2 away, and Arsenal beat Wigan 4-0 at home sports.

Manchester United and Manchester City staged an exciting city derby, the two teams played sparks and scored a total of seven goals.

In the end, with Berbatov’s lore in stoppage time, Manchester United beat Manchester City 4:3 at Old Trafford.

Although they won this derby, anyone with a discerning eye can see that after two consecutive seasons of generous investment by the Abu Dhabi consortium, the current strength of Manchester City has seriously threatened Manchester United, an old and powerful club.

The city of Manchester is about to change.

After the game, the losing Manchester City club was not so depressed, more of them were unconvinced and wanted to play for another half an hour; while the winning Manchester United club was not so happy, more worried.

After the sixth round, Crystal Palace topped the standings with five wins and one draw with 16 points, and Chelsea ranked second with the same points.

And Manchester United has also quietly climbed to the third place in the standings with five wins and one loss and 15 points.

After the game against Sunderland, Crystal Palace have three days off.

On September 23, they ushered in the third round of the English League Cup. This time, Crystal Palace are going to play away to Barnsley.

According to Chen Ran’s habit, he sent a full bench lineup to play in this game, and handed over the command of the game to Southgate.

Facing the low-level team of Barnsley, although Crystal Palace did not send any main players, but with the goals of Dzeko, Vardy, Suarez and Beckham, Crystal Palace still won 4-0 away from the opponent. .

While successfully advancing to the fourth round of the League Cup, Chen Ran also got a “Level 1 Rehabilitation Card” from the system.

Two days later, on September 26, Crystal Palace ushered in the seventh round of the Premier League. This time, they are going away to Tottenham Hotspur.

After the rotation of the League Cup, the main players of Crystal Palace have received a certain rest. However, since Crystal Palace will play the Champions League group stage three days later, Chen Ran still sent a half-main and half-substitute starting lineup for this game.

Tottenham Hotspur is also a strong team in the Premier League. Although they have always missed the championship, they often qualify for the European competition. It is not easy for anyone to win.

The same is true for Crystal Palace, who played as a semi-main force. When the game reached 60 minutes, the score on the field was still deadlocked at 0:0.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ran had to replace the Xue Zang offensive core on the court.

In the end, with Ronaldo’s long-range goal in stoppage time, Crystal Palace barely beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 away.

At the same time as he got the key three points, Chen Ran also got a “Level 1 Healing Card” from the system.

In other matches in this round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic 3:1 away, and Manchester United also beat Stoke City 2:0 away.

Liverpool beat Hull City 6:1 at Anfield, Manchester City beat West Ham United 3:1 at home, and Arsenal beat Fulham 1:0 away.

Several strong teams have all won, and the standings are still mixed up without opening the gap, and the situation is chaotic.

After the match against Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace only rested for three days before ushering in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

This time, they will take on Stuttgart at the Emirates Stadium.

This game is the penultimate game of the Devil’s schedule at this stage.

Crystal Palace has played five games at a frequency of every three days. Although Chen Ran tried his best to allocate the physical fitness of the players, judging from the physical test reports after each game, most of the Crystal Palace players are now at the end of the game. state.

In order to avoid injuries, Chen Ran had no choice but to refer to the physical examination report again to arrange the starting list.

Center Cavani

Left midfielder Ribery, midfielder Kaka, right midfielder Vardy

Midfielder Mascherano, Midfielder Beckham

Left-back Evra, center-back Kompany, center-back Thiago Silva, right-back Alves

Goalkeeper Cech

On the Stuttgart side, the Swiss coach Christian Gross is very pragmatic. When he came to London to challenge Crystal Palace, he directly lined up a starting lineup for defensive counterattacks.

striker Kakao, striker Gomez

MF Khedira, MF Hleb, MF Kuzmanovic

Left-back Molinaro, center-back Tashcher, center-back Del Pierre, center-back Bolla Luz, right-back Osorio

Goalman is coming

From the first minute of the game, it entered a state of half-court offensive and defensive drills.

Christian Gross set his mind on the bus. In addition to leaving a center Gomez in the frontcourt, Stuttgart even had another striker Kacau returned to the center line to assist the defense.

Chen Ran, who had seen such scenes a lot, naturally wouldn’t be in a hurry. He sat on the bench for a full 45 minutes without ever walking to the sidelines to direct the game.

Deciphering the bus tactic is a worldwide problem, especially when the opponent is full of energy.

Until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Crystal Palace still failed to break Stuttgart’s turtle shell.

During the intermission, Chen Ran turned his attention to Cavani and Vardy after giving the players blood as usual.

“Edinson, Jamie, how about you two get a rest first in the second half?”

“No problem, boss.”

“Okay, boss.”

Chen Ran nodded slightly, then looked at Ronaldo and Messi.

“Chris, Leo, you two replace Edinson and Jamie in the second half.”

“Chris, go to play center, but don’t stay in Stuttgart’s penalty area, you have to keep coming out to cooperate with your teammates, attracting the Stuttgart defenders who are in charge of marking you, and creating opportunities for others to plug in, understand? ”

“Understood, boss.” Ronaldo replied with a strong force.

“Leo, you and Frank should pay attention to the movements of the Stuttgart defenders at all times. Once you find that they are attracted by Chris, you should immediately insert into the neutral space left by each other, understand?”

After    explained Ronaldo, Chen Ran mentioned Messi and Ribery again.

“Okay, boss.”

“Got it, boss.”

“Ricciardo, the task of organizing the attack is left to you. You just need to remember one thing, where there is a neutral position, you will pass to which side, understand?” Chen Ran finally looked at Kaka.

“Understood, boss.”

Just when Chen Ran was making substitutions for Crystal Palace, on the Stuttgart side, coach Christian Gross was obviously very satisfied with the 0-0 score.

He did not make substitutions other than encouraging players to continue playing as they did in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, the situation changed.

replaced Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi’s Crystal Palace, and the offensive threat has greatly increased.

Especially Chen Ran asked Cristiano Ronaldo to keep going in and out of Stuttgart’s penalty area, which immediately disrupted Stuttgart’s defensive deployment.

The three central defenders used by Christian Gross in this game, Del Pierre is 195cm tall, Tashcher is 187cm tall, only Bora Luz is a little shorter, but also 184cm.

These players have no problem with frontal defense and high-altitude ball defense. In the first half of the game, they defended Cavani out of temper.

But now that Ronaldo is here, their good days are coming to an end.
