Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 419

If Lerotary follows Ronaldo out of the penalty area, then Juventus will only have Cannavaro as a central defender in the penalty area.

Although Cannavaro is experienced, he is 36 years old this year, and his physical function has declined drastically.

Wanting to rely on him to intercept the fast and flexible Messi and Ribery, Ferrara himself is not sure.

After hesitating for a long time, Ferrara finally decided to let Lelotalie stay in the penalty area, and then handed over the task of helping Cristiano Ronaldo to the two midfielders Sissoko and Melo.

However, in this way, Sissoko and Melo will be positioned closer to their own penalty area, and there is no way to provide more help for the offense.

The new center Iaquinta could not get enough support from the midfield, and could only learn from Ronaldo to run out of the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace to catch the ball.

But he doesn’t have the comprehensive personal ability of Cristiano Ronaldo. As soon as the ball hit his feet, he was quickly intercepted by Crystal Palace’s defenders and counterattacked.

After    a few times, even Juventus teammates dare not pass the ball to him easily.

Because a lot of energy is contained by defensive tasks, Juventus has never been able to attack with full force, and the game has entered the rhythm that Chen Ran hoped to see.

Chen Ran’s goal now is very simple, try not to consume too much physical energy while winning.

In the end, with a penalty kick created by Ronaldo, Crystal Palace defeated Juventus 1:0 away.

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

After the Champions League match against Juventus, Chen Ran immediately flew back to London with the Crystal Palace team.

Two days later, on October 24, the tenth round of the Premier League will start. This time, Crystal Palace will take on Wigan Athletic at the Emirates Stadium.

Just finished a tough battle in Italy, and two days are not enough for the main players to recover their physical fitness.

In order to avoid injury to the main force, Chen Ran decided to send a substitute lineup to play in the game against Wigan Athletic.

As expected by Chen Ran, Wigan Athletic also started arranging the bus from the first minute of the game.

Crystal Palace’s bench players lacked the ability to tackle tough problems, and they were unable to break Wigan Athletic’s tortoise shell for a long time.

Seeing that the situation was not very good, Chen Ran used a “Level 1 Chicken Blood Card” and a “Level 1 Sight Card” for Dzeko and Cavani respectively.

In the end, with Dzeko and Cavani’s great power, each scored two goals, Crystal Palace beat Wigan Athletic 4:1 at home.

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

In other Premier League matches in this round, there is also an interesting strong conversation. Liverpool, who had been a little behind before, faced their arch-rivals Manchester United at Anfield.

With Torres scoring twice, Liverpool beat Manchester United 2-0 at home, which temporarily stabilized Benitez’s shaky coaching position.

When Liverpool held off Manchester United, Chelsea beat Blackburn 5-0 at Stamford Bridge, Manchester City also beat Fulham 2-1 at home, but Arsenal were tied 2-2 by West Ham United on the road. The habit of dropping the chain started again.

Three days later, on October 28, Crystal Palace ushered in the fourth round of the English League Cup. This time, they will be facing old rivals Manchester United at home.

For League Cup matches, Chen Ran has always focused on training.

So he still dispatched a starting lineup dominated by substitute players as usual, and handed over the command of the game to Simeone.

On Manchester United, after several seasons of observation, Sir Alex Ferguson also knew that Chen Ran had always paid little attention to domestic competitions such as the League Cup and the FA Cup, and would most likely send a substitute lineup to play.

And this is one of the few chances for Manchester United to beat Crystal Palace.

In the position of Ferguson, sometimes face is more important than anything else. He doesn’t want to be told that his team will lose when they meet Crystal Palace.

In order to prepare for this League Cup match, Ferguson even had a partial rotation in the league, which is also an important reason why Manchester United lost 0:2 to Liverpool.

In the face of Manchester United, who played all the main force, Simeone set up the bus without hesitation.

After holding on for most of the game, Crystal Palace was finally beaten by a magic ball from Berbatov to the goal guarded by Van der Sar, lost the game 0:1 “regrettably” and was eliminated from this season’s team. England League Cup.

Two days later, on October 31st, Crystal Palace ushered in the eleventh round of the Premier League. This time, they will be at home against Hull City.

Because of the Champions League match with Juventus, Chen Ran still sent a half-main half-substitute starting lineup in this match.

In the end, with the goals of Cesc Fabregas and Suarez, Crystal Palace defeated Hull City 2-0 at home.

At the same time as he got three points, Chen Ran also got a “first-level sight card” from the system.

In other Premier League games this round, Chelsea beat Bolton 4-0 away and Manchester United beat Blackburn 2-0 at Old Trafford.

Arsenal defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 in the north London derby, and Manchester City also beat Birmingham 1-0 away.

In these strong teams, Liverpool missed again.

The victory over Manchester United in the last round of the league did not completely reverse their downward trend this season. In this round, they lost to Fulham 1:3 away.

After the eleventh round of the game was over, because of Chelsea’s recent consecutive big wins, they overcame Crystal Palace and climbed to the top of the standings with the advantage of more goal difference.

London, Chelsea Club.

In the office of CEO Peter Kenyon, Ancelotti smiled and took the champagne handed by Peter Kenyon.

“Ding!”

The wine glasses of the two of them touched and drank them all.

“Carlo, you did a great job this time. It’s been a long time since a team could beat Crystal Palace mid-season and top the Premier League table.”

“It’s really not easy. Look at me, I have a lot of white hair.”

Ancelotti smiled wryly and pointed to his grey hair, he was only 50 years old this year.

“Now I can feel Mourinho’s feelings deeply. If I had known that the Chinese man was so powerful, I would not have taken over the Chelsea club no matter how high your price was.”

Seeing Ancelotti complaining, Peter Kenyon had to listen honestly.

As the CEO poached from Manchester United after Abramovich bought Chelsea, Peter Kenyon can be said to have witnessed the rise of Chen Ran and Crystal Palace Club with his own eyes.

Chen Ran, like Abramovich, both acquired clubs in the summer of 2003.

However, neither Abramovich nor Peter Kenyon himself took the Crystal Palace, an obscure British Championship team in his eyes.

But who would have thought that the previously unknown Championship team had now become an insurmountable mountain in front of Chelsea.

Peter Kenyon, as a client, personally experienced the battle of wits and courage between Mourinho and Ancelotti and Chen Ran.

Both Mourinho and Ancelotti are considered to be the top coaches in the world, but they have been defeated by Chen Ran again and again.

Even Mourinho was forced to leave Spain just to avoid the limelight of the Chinese.

Therefore, Peter Kenyon understands Ancelotti’s current emotional vent very well, because he knows very well how difficult it is to defeat Chen Ran.

“Haha, Carlo, the hard days are finally coming to an end. We are now beating Crystal Palace to the top of the standings, and as long as we don’t make mistakes, we can firmly hold the initiative to win the championship in our own hands.”

“Hehe, Peter, you said it lightly. ‘Don’t make mistakes’ is easy to say, but it’s too difficult to do. Seeing that the winter transfer period is approaching, you must add players to me.”

Ancelotti hurriedly complained while taking the opportunity to ask Peter Kenyon.

This guy is like Mourinho, none of them are fuel efficient lamps.

Peter Kenyon cursed inwardly as he looked at Ancelotti’s fat face.

However, he is now a grasshopper tied to a rope with Ancelotti.

The owner Abramovich has spoken before. If Chelsea cannot win the championship this season, not only will the coach Ancelotti be swept out, but even his position as CEO will not be preserved.

So, Peter Kenyon patted Ancelotti on the shoulder very generously.

“Understood, Carlo, just say whoever you want.”

“Torres.”

“Forehead”

Hearing this familiar name, Peter Kenyon’s mouth twitched slightly.

“Carlo, can’t you change someone? I made an offer to Liverpool during the summer transfer period, but the other party refused without even talking.”

“Now the owner of Liverpool Club is not the two poor Americans from before. The Qataris have more money than our owner. If they don’t sell it, I can’t help it.”

Ancelotti also knew that what Peter Kenyon said was the truth, but he knew the truth of “a child who can cry gets milk”, so he spread his hands and looked at Peter Kenyon.

“Peter, Shevchenko is getting older and his level of competition has declined sharply. Although Drogba is an excellent centre forward, his scoring ability is not very strong. Therefore, we at Chelsea urgently need a striker with high scoring efficiency. ”

“I know what you said. However, if players are imported from other leagues, whether they can adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League is a huge question.”

“And Torres does not have this problem, his performance in the past two seasons has fully proved his adaptability.”

“No matter from which point of view, Torres is the most suitable candidate. Of course, if Peter can buy Cristiano Ronaldo from Crystal Palace Club, then there is no need to introduce Torres.”

Ancelotti’s last sentence almost made Peter Kenyang faint.

Wang Defa, if I can buy Cristiano Ronaldo, Mourinho will not go to Spain, and Chelsea can still have your place in Ancelotti?

Peter Kenyon, who rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart, forcibly suppressed his anger.

“Carlo, Cristiano Ronaldo, don’t count on it. I don’t know how many giant clubs have tried it, but they were all rejected by the Chinese.”

“In this way, I will contact the Liverpool club to try Torres. If the other party still disagrees, then you should stop stalking and choose other strikers honestly.”

“clear.”

Liverpool Club, President’s Office.

After the eleventh round of the Premier League, Liverpool have now dropped to seventh place. Nasser Al-Khelefi obviously could not accept the result, and called the sports director Antero Enrique to the office again.

“Antero, you can contact Guardiola again to see if he can come over to take over Liverpool in advance. You tell the other party, just mention any conditions, everything is negotiable.”

“Mr. Chairman, Pere Guardiola has told me more than once that it is difficult to change what his younger brother decides. The other party doesn’t want to leave a mess to FC Barcelona, ​​which will seriously affect his reputation.”

Antro Enrique looked at Nasser Al-Khelaifi with a wry smile. He now has a deep understanding of the sentence “A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem”.

“Antro, but you can see the team’s current results. They have already fallen out of the Champions League qualification zone. If Liverpool loses qualification for the Champions League next season, there will be a big earthquake in the club.”

Nasser Al-Khelefi looked at Antero Enrique with a serious face, and said word by word, “If this happens, not only will you be kicked out, but even I will be replaced. .Understand?”

Antro Enrique’s heart tightened when he heard this. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Nasser Al-Khelaifi was not the real owner of the Liverpool Club. He was just a manager sent by a Qatari consortium to manage the Liverpool Club.

To put it bluntly, he, like himself, is just a wage earner.

In order to keep his position as a sports director who has just taken office and has not yet taken the hot seat, Antero Enrique has come up with a solution.

“Mr. Chairman, the winter transfer period will start in a while, and we were banned from signing in the summer. Now it’s better to call Benitez to discuss the signing of supplementary strength during the winter transfer period. ?”

“Benitez?”

The thought of this guy bringing last season’s league runner-up to what he is now makes Nasser Al-Khelefi angry when he mentions Benitez.

“Mr. Chairman, the priority is to keep the team’s qualification for the Champions League next season. At this time, the team can’t do without Benitez.” Antro Enrique persuaded bitterly.

“Okay, you can call him over.”
