Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 430
Ten games in 30 days, and a whole month of games played at an average pace of one game every three days. This is undoubtedly an extremely severe test for Crystal Palace.
And in these ten games, Crystal Palace also face Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool and other strong teams.
Even in those two Champions League semi-finals where you don’t know your opponents, you can think with your **** that you will encounter strong opponents.
Seeing this schedule, not to mention Southgate and Simeone, even Chen Ran, who is used to the England Devils schedule, can’t help but feel his scalp tingling.
The donkeys of the production team can’t do that, can they?
Chen Ran even doubted whether there were any healthy players in the Crystal Palace team after this month’s game.
Counted the three “Level 1 Rehabilitation Cards” left in his hand, and Chen Ran was also helpless.
The function of “Level 1 Rehabilitation Card” is only to reduce the player’s injury recovery time by 10%, and it cannot avoid injury or full health resurrection on the spot.
After using the “Level 1 Rehabilitation Card” for Kaka, Yaya Toure and Tony, the best result was to recover from injury before the end of the season.
But every game at the end of the season is very important. No one can tell what the state of a player who has been away from the game for so long will be, and Chen Ran will not dare to use it lightly.
In the face of such an intensive schedule, Chen Ran, Southgate and Simeone discussed for a long time and couldn’t think of a good solution. In the end, they could only decide to see the move, and bite the bullet.
On March 28th, in the thirty-second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Blackburn at home.
Because in two days, Crystal Palace will go to Spain and Real Madrid to play the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, so Chen Ran sent a half-main half-substitute starting lineup in this game.
With goals from Ribery, Suarez and Beckham, Crystal Palace won Blackburn 3-1 at home.
[In other words, the best way to read and listen to books is Yeguo Reading, and .yeguoyuedu installs the latest version. 】
At the same time that he got three points, Chen Ran also got a “Level 1 Health Card” from the system.
In other matches in the Premier League this round, Manchester United beat Bolton 4:0 away, and Chelsea beat Aston Villa 7:1 at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester City beat Wigan Athletic 3-0 at home, and Liverpool also beat Sunderland 3-0 at Anfield. Arsenal are habitually off the chain, they were drawn 1:1 away by Birmingham.
After the 32nd round, Crystal Palace still leads the standings with a slight advantage, while Manchester United are two points behind and Chelsea are four points behind in second and third place respectively.
Spain, Real Madrid club.
After being robbed of the La Liga title by Guardiola’s club Barcelona last season, Mourinho has been ridiculed by some media that he can’t even match Chen Ran’s assistant.
How could someone so arrogant and arrogant as Mourinho bear this anger?
After trying every means to poach Yin Blahimovic from Barcelona, Mourinho has worked hard this season. His Real Madrid and Barcelona currently have 74 points, ranking first and second in the La Liga standings. Second place, the competition is fierce.
…
“José, Real Madrid met Crystal Palace again this time. You and Chen Ran are really destined.”
Mendez shook his head helplessly as he smoked his beloved cigar.
According to what Huaguo said, these two guys are probably incompatible.
“Ha ha.”
Mourinho didn’t bother to talk to Mendes.
“José, now with Yin Blahimovic as a top center, do you have the confidence to beat Crystal Palace this time?”
“No.”
Mourinho’s answer was so succinct that Mendes looked up at him in surprise.
“No way? Jose, this is not your style.”
“I’m telling the truth. Don’t say it’s me, in today’s football, which coach dares to say that he will definitely be able to defeat that Chinese?”
Mourinho didn’t seem to see Mendes’ surprised eyes and spread his hands.
There are no outsiders here, and Mourinho directly spoke his own words.
“Compared to the Champions League, the La Liga trophy is more realistic and more important to me.”
“We now have the same points as Barcelona. If this season’s La Liga title falls to Barcelona again, then I have no face to stay in Real Madrid.”
“José, then you’re going to just give up the Champions League?”
Mendez is well aware that Mourinho has a point, and it is also the best option for them.
“That’s not the case. The game against Crystal Palace still has to be done with all my strength, otherwise those harsh Real Madrid fans will not let me go.”
Thinking of those Real Madrid fans who were particularly difficult to serve, Mourinho couldn’t help frowning.
“I think clearly now. It would be best if Crystal Palace could be eliminated. In that case, I would put the team’s main energy into the Champions League.”
“In case of being eliminated by Crystal Palace, that’s not a bad thing. The team can also concentrate on competing with Barcelona for the La Liga championship trophy.”
“Well, Jose, your decision is right. It’s too difficult to balance the league and the Champions League, and now Real Madrid doesn’t have that strength.”
Mendez nodded slightly.
“If Real Madrid is robbed of the league title by Barcelona again this season, then you will definitely be replaced. So, you have to make a clear distinction in your own heart.”
After finishing the Premier League match against Blackburn, Chen Ran immediately flew to Madrid with the Crystal Palace team.
Against this long-standing Spanish giants team, Chen Ran did not dare to be careless and dispatched all the main lineups that Crystal Palace can now play.
center Ronaldo,
Left midfielder Ribery, center midfielder Cesc Fabregas, center midfielder Mascherano, center midfielder Modric, right midfielder Messi
Left midfielder Chiellini, center back Thiago Silva, center back Vidic, right back Maicon
Goalkeeper Cech
And in Real Madrid, Mourinho is also the main force.
Left winger Robben, center Yin Blahimovic, right winger Raul
MF Sneijder, MF Lars Diarra, MF Guti
Left-back Marcelo, center-back Albiol, center-back Metzelder, right-back Ramos
…
Goalkeeper Casillas
Mourinho seemed determined to fight with Crystal Palace. From the first minute of the game, Real Madrid’s players began to fully press the attack.
On the Crystal Palace side, because it was an away game, Chen Ran adopted a more conservative 451 formation.
Except Cristiano Ronaldo, most of the players contracted in their own half to defend.
For a while, Real Madrid took the initiative on the field.
Seeing Real Madrid pressing the Champions League defending champion Crystal Palace to attack, the Real Madrid fans in the entire Bernabeu Stadium were immediately aroused and cheered.
“Boss, isn’t the current situation too passive? Our Crystal Palace’s attack power is no worse than that of Real Madrid, so let’s just fight them directly.”
Southgate approached Chen Ran worriedly to give advice.
“Gareth, as a coach, you can’t just think about the game in front of you. You know what’s going on in our schedule, so we’re not only thinking about how to win, but also how to win economically. Get it. ?”
“So it is. I see, boss.”
Southgate suddenly realized. The boss is worthy of being a boss, and thinking about problems is more comprehensive than himself.
Although Crystal Palace has three absolute main players missing due to injuries, the staffing of the back line is still very neat.
After several seasons of running-in, the cooperation between these defenders has been very tacit. Real Madrid has been attacking for more than 20 minutes and failed to break the goal guarded by Cech.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
When the Real Madrid players entered the first physical bottleneck period of the game, Cech hugged Yin Blahimovic’s header to attack the goal, then got up quickly, and sent the ball to the front court with a big foot.
Cristiano Ronaldo immediately judged where the ball was falling, and rushed over to receive the ball before Las Diarra.
Ronaldo used his body to block Lars Diarra behind him while observing the positions of other Crystal Palace players.
At this time, Ribery on the left and Messi on the right rushed forward at high speed at the same time.
On the side of Real Madrid, the other two midfielders Sneijder and Guti are also desperately chasing back.
However, due to age, the current Guti’s speed has dropped so much that he was soon left behind by Ribery.
Seeing this situation, Ronaldo immediately passed the ball to Ribery on the left. Then he himself turned around Las Diarra and continued to sprint towards Real Madrid’s penalty area.
found that the ball was passed to his side, and his teammate Guti was passed, Real Madrid’s right back Ramos had to take the initiative to meet Ribery.
In terms of speed and agility, Ramos is no match for Ribery at all.
Seeing Ramos rushing over, Ribery didn’t pause. He directly used his foot to push the ball forward and competed with Ramos for speed.
Simple, crude, but effective.
Fighting for speed, how can Ramos outrun Ribery?
But he didn’t sit still. As he ran, Ramos squeezed and bumped with his body, grabbed Ribery with his hands, and wanted the opponent to lose his balance.
However, although Ribery is small, his body is very strong and his fighting ability is very strong.
…
Ramos did not hit Ribery with a few hits, but he lost his center of gravity and staggered and almost fell.
After throwing off Ramos, a big hole appeared in Real Madrid’s right defense. With a change of direction, Ribery dribbled the ball towards Real Madrid’s penalty area.
found that the situation was not good, and the central defender Metzelder, who was sitting in the penalty area, hurried to Ribery to help defend.
But the German central defender is 193cm tall and is not as good as Ramos in terms of speed and flexibility.
Ribery was overjoyed when he saw that another big man came to defend him this time.
After stepping on a few bicycles to stun Metzelder, he drove the ball directly to Real Madrid’s goal.
At this time, seeing that the other teammates have been unable to come back, now he can only rely on his own goalkeeper Casillas to immediately abandon the goal, spread his hands and feet as much as possible to expand the defensive area.
As a result, Ribery calmly pushed with the inner instep of his right foot, and the ball rolled against the turf from between Casillas’ legs and into Real Madrid’s net.
“goal!
”
With Ribery’s wonderful one-stop counterattack, Crystal Palace led Real Madrid 1:0 away.
“fxxxxk!”
On the sidelines, Mourinho couldn’t help but let out a foul language.
Real Madrid attacked for nearly half an hour, which was not as good as a counterattack by Crystal Palace.
However, Mourinho, who had already made plans for a long time, was not in a hurry and did not change his tactics because he conceded the ball first.
Neither team was able to score again until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
At halftime, Chen Ran, who had already taken the lead, was naturally even more composure. Apart from giving the players blood as usual, no substitution adjustments were made.
On the Real Madrid side, Mourinho replaced Guti with Xavi Garcia and Raul with Benzema.
With Yin Blahimovic and Benzema as the double center, Robben retreated to play the left midfielder, and Harvey Garcia served as the right midfielder. Real Madrid’s formation has also changed from 433 to 442.
At the beginning of the second half, seeing Real Madrid’s substitution adjustment, Chen Ran couldn’t help but be a little worried.
Both Yin Blahimovic and Benzema are top-level centers. They both debut together. It’s not certain whether Crystal Palace’s back line can withstand it.
Thinking of this, Chen Ran immediately called Southgate to his side.
“Gareth, you go to inform Modric and Cesc Fabregas now, and then we will attack Messi’s side. Let Maicon make bold assists, and you must press Real Madrid’s left offensive back to me.”
“Got it, boss.”
Chen Ran’s idea is very simple. Real Madrid’s new right midfielder, Xavi Garcia, is stronger on defense than offense. Mourinho estimates that he will use him to mark Ribery.
In this way, most of the task of delivering cannonballs to the two centers, Inblahimovic and Benzema, falls to Luo himself on the left.
Then, as long as Robben is overwhelmed and has no energy to pass the ball to the two forwards, then even if the ability of Yin Blahimovic and Benzema is strong, it will be easy for Crystal Palace’s defense to deal with.
Soon, one pass after another, was sent to Messi’s feet.
And Maicon, also uncharacteristically, added assists frequently, and no longer huddled in the backcourt to focus on defense like the first half of the game.
Messi plus Maicon, left-back Marcelo alone could not defend, he had to call Robben in front to help.
But in this way, he just fell into Chen Ran’s trap, and the offensive threat in front of Real Madrid was immediately weakened a lot.
On the sidelines, Mourinho, who saw these changes, immediately reacted, and he glanced quietly at the man on the Crystal Palace bench.
This bastard, Chen Ran, is still so steady, accurate, and ruthless!
