Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 422
Nani and Quaresma did not take medicine, but the effect of the “Level 1 Chicken Blood Card” was more powerful than taking medicine.
First, Nani broke through the defense of the Bosnia and Herzegovina right-back Bichakcic and hit the goal post. After rebounding, Ronaldo took the lead and stabbed into the goal of the Bosnia and Herzegovina team.
Then, Quaresma made a cross from the bottom after passing the Bosnia and Herzegovina left-back Lulic on the right. Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed the ball under the flanking of the two central defenders Vasayevich and Spasic. A lion headed the ball into Begovic’s goal.
In the end, with Ronaldo’s brace, Portugal reversed Bosnia and Herzegovina 2:1 at home and got the initiative to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa.
Three days later, on November 19th, the two teams played in the second round.
In this away game, Chen Ran simply let Portugal adopt a defensive counterattack.
In addition to leaving Ronaldo and Simao to fight back in the frontcourt, all the other players of the Portuguese team shrunk in their own half to defend.
On the side of Bosnia and Herzegovina, they have no choice but to win.
In addition, as long as they beat Portugal 1-0 at home, they will be able to eliminate their opponents with the advantage of more away goals and get tickets for the World Cup in South Africa.
Therefore, the Croatian coach Blazevic once again sent a starting lineup with full attack, ready to take Portugal in one fell swoop.
Chen Ran was well prepared for the difficulty of this match.
So before the game, he used a “Level 1 Chicken Blood Card” for Deco and Simao respectively.
Despite this, the game was still very difficult, and the Portuguese defense was unable to resist the offensive of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Dzeko beat Crystal Palace teammate Pepe to head for the ferry, Yinbisevic risked being kicked in the head by Carvalho’s foot, and a diving header broke Eduardo’s goal.
After took the lead, Blazevic once again replaced the defensive player to shrink the formation and put the bus on the bus.
It wasn’t until the 72nd minute of the second half that Simao used his speed to break through the Bosnia and Herzegovina team’s wing defense and passed an inverted triangle after landing.
Deco, who has been waiting for opportunities outside the penalty area, rushed to meet the ball and volleyed.
“boom!”
The ball drew a straight line and flew to the upper right corner of the Bosnia and Herzegovina goal.
Goalkeeper Begovic couldn’t make a save and could only watch the ball fly into the net from in front of him.
“goal!
”
With Deco’s long-range shot, Portugal made it 1:1.
If the game ends with this score, then Portugal will qualify for the World Cup in South Africa.
Therefore, as soon as Deco scored a goal, Chen Ran immediately ordered Portugal to shrink and start the bus.
On the side of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Blazevic had to order the players to press on the attack to make a last-ditch effort.
But in order to strengthen the team’s defense, he had already replaced several key offensive players.
Only with these players on the field, until the referee blew the whistle of the end of the game, he could not break the goal of Portugal.
In the end, under the leadership of Chen Ran, Portugal eliminated Bosnia and Herzegovina with a total score of 3:2 in two rounds and successfully won the tickets for the World Cup in South Africa.
…
Now, Chen Ran can finally put all his energy back to the Crystal Palace temporarily.
The next time I see these Portuguese players, it will be time to prepare for the World Cup in South Africa after the end of the season.
After a brief celebration with the Portuguese players, Chen Ran rushed back to London with Ronaldo and Pepe.
No way, two days later, on November 22, the thirteenth round of the Premier League will start again. This time, Crystal Palace will host Aston Villa.
However, just after returning to the Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran received the news he least wanted to hear.
While participating in the World Cup qualifiers, Kaka’s groin was strained again.
This is the first time Kaka has strained his groin. According to the doctor’s suggestion, he had better undergo surgery to completely solve this stubborn disease.
But once the surgery is done, the recovery time will be long.
Not only will this season be basically reimbursed, it may even affect his participation in the World Cup in South Africa next summer.
As for the result of not being able to participate in the World Cup in South Africa, Kaka expressed that he could not accept it. He directly rejected the doctor’s advice and planned to choose conservative treatment.
To this end, Caroline took Cheryl to find Chen Ran, and wanted him to persuade Kaka to undergo surgery.
Chen Ran didn’t want to worry about this matter, after all, the World Cup held every four years is very important to every player.
And next year Kaka will be 28 years old, which is the golden age as an offensive player. Do you want Kaka to give up the World Cup at this time? Chen Ran thought with his **** and knew that this was absolutely impossible.
But Chen Ran really couldn’t stand the power of Cheryl and Caroline joining forces, so he had no choice but to surrender.
“I declare first, I can try it, but there is no guarantee that Ricardo will change his mind.”
“It doesn’t matter. Chen, you just do your best. I just want Ricardo to be healthy. It’s not like he hasn’t won the World Cup. His health is important?”
Looking at the plausible Caroline, Chen Ran could only helplessly shake his head and smile bitterly.
Kaka was indeed the champion of the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan with Brazil.
But he was only 20 at the time and was basically sitting on the bench watching Big Brother play. Can this be the same as his winning the World Cup as the core main force?
But Chen Ran also knew that it was useless to tell the woman this, so he simply admitted the cowardice and went to find Kaka to play games.
When came to Kaka’s house, Chen Ran didn’t mention the surgery at all, and the two played live football with ease.
After playing four games for about an hour, the two of them took a break.
“Chen, did Caroline run to find you?”
Kaka asked bluntly while drinking mineral water.
“Uh, you all know?”
Chen Ran glanced at Kaka in surprise, it seemed that this guy knew very well.
“Hehe, she had a fight with me yesterday about the operation, and then you came over today.”
“You are now not only the owner and head coach of Crystal Palace Club, but also the head coach of the Portuguese national team. You are so busy all day, you haven’t come to play games with me for a long time. Isn’t it obvious?”
…
“Then what do you think about yourself?”
Now that Kaka has made it clear, Chen Ran is too lazy to continue going around in circles.
He has just returned to London, and is about to prepare for the Premier League game against Aston Villa. He is half tired and has no extra time and energy to deal with Kaka.
In particular, there is no right or wrong in this matter, once it is not handled properly, it will become a person inside and out.
“Chen, I will be 28 next year, and now is the best time for me. If I miss the World Cup in South Africa, I will be 32 in four years, and I will be on the bench for the talented Brazil national team. I’m on the bench for the World Cup.”
“Ricciardo, I totally understand what you’re thinking. However, I also want to remind you that if you don’t completely solve your groin strain problem, what if you get injured again while participating in the World Cup?”
“You must know that your groin strain is not one or two times. At that time, it will not only affect your personal career, but also directly affect the World Cup results of the Brazilian national team. You have to consider these carefully. Yet?”
“Besides, I asked the doctor, even if you have surgery, as long as you recover well, it is not impossible to catch the World Cup in South Africa.”
Chen Ran’s words immediately silenced Kaka.
In the end, after repeated weighing, Kaka chose to undergo surgery.
In order to express her gratitude, Caroline and Kaka also invited Chen Ran and Cheryl to have a big meal together.
Chen Ran was in a complicated mood after eating this meal.
It should be known that if Kaka chooses conservative treatment, he will be able to return to the game soon.
But now, Chen Ran is equivalent to strangling the possibility of Kaka continuing to play for Crystal Palace this season.
Forget it, just treat it as a good deed, Chen Ran can only comfort himself like this in his heart.
Facing the upcoming match against Aston Villa, and looking at the tired players in front of him, Chen Ran could only refer to the physical examination report to arrange the starting lineup.
In the end, with the goals of Cavani and Vidic, Crystal Palace beat Aston Villa 2:1 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 matches in this round of the Premier League, there is also a very interesting game, where two clubs that have just changed their local bosses faced each other.
In the end, Liverpool and Manchester City drew 2:2 at Anfield, and no one could take advantage.
On the other hand, Chelsea beat Wolves 4-0 at Stamford Bridge as if they had fought chicken blood, and continued to sing forward.
Manchester United also defeated Everton 3-0 at Old Trafford, while Arsenal lost the chain again. They lost to Sunderland 0-1 in a shock away.
There is only two days of rest. On November 25th, Crystal Palace ushered in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage. This time, they will be sitting at the Emirates Stadium against the Spanish team Sevilla.
In this game, Chen Ran made a large rotation again, and he put all the players who played the full game against Aston Villa on the bench.
In the end, with the goals of Tony and Thiago Silva, Crystal Palace beat Sevilla 2:1 at home.
…
Chen Ran also got a “Level 1 Blood Recovery Card” from the system after locking in the Champions League round of 16 in advance.
Just two days later, Crystal Palace ushered in the fourteenth round of the Premier League. This time, they will go away to West Ham United.
With goals from Dzeko, Cavani, Suarez, Kompany and Beckham, Crystal Palace defeated West Ham 5-2 away.
At the same time as he got three points, Chen Ran also got a “Level 1 Chicken Blood Card” from the system.
And in other Premier League matches this round, there is also a strong dialogue that is very fascinating.
Arsenal, who always loses the chain, this time at Highbury Stadium to face the leader of the standings Chelsea.
As a result, they lost to Chelsea with a score of 0:3 at their own home, which was shocking.
Manchester United beat Portsmouth 4:1 away, while Manchester City was beaten to a 1:1 draw at home by Hull City.
And Liverpool cheered up in the Merseyside derby this round and won Everton 2-0 away.
After the fourteenth round of the game, Chelsea still beat Crystal Palace to the top of the standings with the advantage of goal difference, which was frighteningly stable.
After the game against West Ham United, Crystal Palace had a rare week off and took a breath.
On December 6th, the fifteenth round of the Premier League will start again, this time Crystal Palace will go away to face Portsmouth.
Seeing that the physical fitness of the players has finally recovered, Chen Ran finally dared to put the main lineup in this game.
In the end, with the goals of Ronaldo, Messi and Cesc Fabregas, Crystal Palace defeated Portsmouth 3-0 away.
While getting the key three-pointer, Chen Ran also got a “free kick master card” from the system.
In other matches of this round of the Premier League, Chen Ran finally waited for a long-lost good news.
In this round of strong dialogue, Manchester City suddenly broke out and beat Chelsea 2:1 at home.
This time, they helped Crystal Palace a lot.
From the beginning of this season to the present, Arsenal have been at the top of the standings with the advantage of goal difference.
It didn’t take long for Crystal Palace to drive Arsenal down, but Chelsea took the top spot again by relying on the advantage of goal difference, and it has been sitting until now.
Now, with Manchester City’s divine assists, Crystal Palace alone occupies the top of the table with a three-point lead over Chelsea.
Manchester United beat West Ham United 4-0 away, and Arsenal easily defeated Stoke City 2-0 at home. Liverpool were weak again and were drawn 0-0 away by Blackburn.
Three days later, Crystal Palace ushered in the final round of the Champions League group stage. This time, they are going away to Stuttgart.
Because Crystal Palace had already locked in the Champions League round of 16 in advance, Chen Ran dispatched all the substitutes in this game, and also handed over the command of the game to Simeone.
Simeone naturally showed his housekeeping skills and started to set up the bus from the first minute of the game.
For this game, Crystal Palace has no desires, but Stuttgart has gone all out.
In the end, under Stuttgart’s full-strength attack, Van der Sar’s Crystal Palace goal still failed to hold, and was scored by a header from Gomez, and Crystal Palace lost 0:1 to Stuttgart.
And Crystal Palace and Juventus successfully advanced to the Champions League round of 16 with the first and second place in the group respectively.
