Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 438
Chapter 438 People, sometimes you have to fight!
“Boss, Chelsea is already 4:0.”
Simeone has been paying attention to the situation of Chelsea’s game and keeping Chen Ran informed of the latest changes.
“Diego, don’t tell me again unless Wigan Athletic equalises.”
Chen Ran waved his hand, and Simone silently retreated to his seat.
Judging from all the current news, whether it is Wigan Athletic’s collapse or Tottenham Hotspur’s unreasonable life-threatening sniping, they all reveal an unusual taste.
It seems that, although the FA has called a few things on the bright side. But in private, there are still people behind the scenes.
Chen Ran knew that now everything can only depend on Crystal Palace itself.
In the face of absolute strength, all ghosts and ghosts will eventually be wiped out.
When the game reached the 62nd minute, Messi broke through the defense of Tottenham’s left-back Hector on the right and passed the ball into the penalty area.
Valdy stepped forward in time, leaving Ledley King who was in charge of marking him behind.
Without any hesitation, Vardy just volleyed directly.
“boom!”
The ball drew a parabola to the back corner of Tottenham Hotspur’s goal.
At this time, goalkeeper Gomez had moved to the near post of the goal in advance to prevent Vardy from shooting directly.
When he saw the ball flying to the back corner, when he wanted to turn around and save, it was too late. In the end, Gomez could only watch the ball fly into the goal he guarded.
“GOAL!!!”
With Vardy’s volley, Crystal Palace finally broke the deadlock and led Tottenham Hotspur 1-0.
“Oh!”
As Vardy scored Tottenham Hotspur’s goal, the entire Emirates Stadium suddenly boiled.
Although the fans are watching the Crystal Palace game here, but with the help of the Internet, they are also always paying attention to the trend of the Chelsea game.
When Chelsea led Wigan Athletic 4-0 shortly after the second half, and Crystal Palace failed to score a goal, the hearts of the 60,000 Crystal Palace fans in the audience were always hanging in the air.
For Crystal Palace fans who are accustomed to winning the championship in advance, this feeling is not to mention how torturous.
Now, the Crystal Palace fans who have been holding back for most of the game have finally got a chance to vent.
If it wasn’t for the current security, fans would almost have rushed into the arena to celebrate with Vardy.
On the sidelines, the old Redknapp quietly watched Vardy and his teammates celebrate the goal frantically, and pouted helplessly.
It’s not that Tottenham Hotspur’s players don’t work hard, but the current background of Crystal Palace is really terrible.
Even with so many main players injured, there were still players who stood up at critical moments to help the team score.
Uruguay double star Cavani and Suarez in the first two games, Vardy in this game. These young people in their early twenties were previously unknown and transparent. That Chinese man’s vision for selecting players is really formidable.
However, with emotion, the old Redknapp will still do what should be done. After all, the boss himself has to be careful about what he has to say.
So, while the Crystal Palace players were still celebrating the goal, the old Redknapp called up the Russian striker Pavlyuchenko from the bench.
After a simple warm-up, he replaced right midfielder Lennon with Pavlyuchenko.
Then Pavlyuchenko and Crouch were paired as double strikers, and Defoe dropped behind them as shadow strikers.
Tottenham Hotspur’s formation also changed from 442 to 4312.
Crouch, who is 201cm tall, and Pavlyuchenko, who is 188cm tall, are at the front, and they immediately attracted the defensive attention of the Crystal Palace’s two central defenders, Thiago Silva and Kompany. past.
After Defoe retreated to the outside of the penalty area, the space immediately became much larger.
In addition, he was extremely fast, drilling around like a little mouse, which made Pepe, the only defensive midfielder on the Crystal Palace side, extremely uncomfortable.
Pepe’s speed is not slow, but he is 187CM tall and can’t catch up with Defoe, who is only 170CM tall.
When Defoe dribbled the ball past Pepe again, seeing that Defoe was about to rush into the penalty area of Crystal Palace, Pepe brought Defoe down directly from behind.
“Beep!”
The referee’s whistle sounded immediately, and he quickly ran to the foul spot, showing Pepe a red card without hesitation.
This time, not only the Crystal Palace players on the field were anxious, but even everyone on the bench couldn’t help jumping up.
In the Emirates Stadium, there were deafening boos.
At this time, Chen Ran was very calm.
He silently called out the system and used a “Eagle Eye Guardian Card”.
However, nothing worked, and the referee insisted that his decision had not changed.
This time, Chen Ran knew that Pepe should indeed be given a red card.
So, Chen Ran immediately called Southgate to his side.
“Gareth, tell the players to obey the referee’s decision.”
“But boss, if Pepe is really sent off, then there will be no defenders in our midfield.” Southgate said anxiously.
“Gareth, calm down, have you forgotten what the tactics we made earlier?”
Chen Ran reached out and patted Southgate on the shoulder, looking into his eyes quietly.
“Amount to attack instead of defend?”
Perhaps infected by Chen Ran’s calmness, Southgate finally calmed down at this time.
“That’s right. Many of the main players were injured, and our midfield’s defensive strength has declined seriously. Pepe is just a temporary saver for the away midfielder.”
“Now, since Pepe has been sent off, let’s just give it a go and attack with all our strength. Tottenham Hotspur is too tired to defend and has no energy to attack, right?”
“Gareth, you go and tell the players on the field: from now on, all but three of the centre-backs will be over the centre line. Don’t worry about the defence, as long as we score one more than Tottenham Hotspur, no matter how many we lose The ball doesn’t matter.”
“Understood, boss.”
Southgate, who was stimulated by Chen Ran’s words and regained his fighting spirit, immediately turned around and ran to the sidelines to deliver Chen Ran’s latest instructions.
Chen Ran himself turned on the system again and used a “Level 1 Healing Card” for Cesc Fabregas in the midfield.
Soon, the old Redknapp saw the changes on the Crystal Palace side.
When Pepe was sent off with a red card and one person was missing, Crystal Palace did not shrink the formation to defend, but instead pressed the whole line to attack.
Such an unexpected adjustment also made old Redknapp turn his head and glance at the Crystal Palace bench not far away.
This young man from China is indeed not an ordinary person.
The task that old Redknapp received was to get points from Crystal Palace with all his strength.
Because Tottenham Hotspur is now behind the score, so even if Crystal Palace pressed the onslaught, he did not have any intention of shrinking the formation and placing the bus, but ordered the team to fight against Crystal Palace very sturdily.
However, with the presence of Ronaldo and Messi, and the use of the “first-level chicken blood card”, Dzeko and Vardy, who are now in their peak state, Tottenham Hotspur soon tasted the pain.
In the first half of the game, when they were full of energy, Tottenham Hotspur’s players could also use more movement and more fierce fighting to make up for their lack of ability.
But after the second half of the game, even with a decline in physical fitness, it would be pure death to play against Crystal Palace.
First, Dzeko received a cross from Ronaldo, and a header broke the goal guarded by Gomez, extending the score to 2:0.
Then Modric was not alone. Using the “Free Kick Master Card”, he also scored a direct free kick, extending the score to 3:0.
On the Tottenham Hotspur side, it was only near the end of the game that Pavlyuchenko scored a face-saving goal.
In the end, with the goals of Vardy, Dzeko and Modric, Crystal Palace defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3:1 at home and successfully defended the Premier League championship.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the Premier League championship, with a bonus of 20 million euros!”
After overcoming numerous difficulties, he successfully defended the Premier League title, and the entire Emirates Stadium suddenly became a sea of joy.
Before Chen Ran could react, he was already carried by the excited team members.
Then, he saw the night sky of London again.
“Although in the final round, Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic 8-0 at Stamford Bridge. But the Premier League championship trophy still fell into the hands of Crystal Palace.”
“Ancelotti and Chelsea tried their best, but in the end they fell short and lost to the Chinese.”
“Congratulations to Crystal Palace Club for successfully defending the Premier League title and winning six consecutive Premier League titles!”
“Although it’s a pity, I have to admit that the shadow of that Chinese still hangs over the English football world.”
“Considering the excellent age structure of the Crystal Palace team, it is foreseeable that Crystal Palace will be the strongest contender for the Premier League title for a long time to come.”
“The promise that the Chinese said when he joined the Crystal Palace Club, the promise of establishing the Crystal Palace Dynasty, has indeed succeeded.”
Although reluctantly, the major sports media in England had to report on the front page of Crystal Palace’s successful defense of the Premier League title early the next morning.
On the Spanish side, the La Liga schedule is a week later than the Premier League.
When the Premier League is all over, there is one last round of La Liga games left.
At this time, Barcelona led by Guardiola is at the top of the standings with 96 points, while Real Madrid is second with 95 points, a one-point difference.
The situation of the two teams is very similar to the previous Crystal Palace and Chelsea. Although Barcelona has the initiative to win the championship, the chance of Real Madrid’s comeback is not small.
Barcelona, Guardiola’s home.
“Pep, your old club Crystal Palace has won the championship again.”
Pere Guardiola shouted as soon as he entered the door.
As his brother’s next stop, Pere Guardiola is very concerned about every move of Crystal Palace.
“I already know.”
Guardiola is of course also concerned about the situation at Crystal Palace.
Because of time constraints, he couldn’t watch the game live, but as soon as he got home, he immediately watched the game video.
“Under such unfavorable conditions, he is still able to defend the Premier League title. Chen Ran, a Chinese from China, is really powerful, and he has to accept it!”
Seeing his elder brother sighing constantly, Guardiola was also amused.
“You still need to say how powerful the boss is? So many championship trophies are not for nothing.”
“Haha, that’s because you don’t understand the situation. Did you know that Chelsea were going to give Tottenham Hotspur a winning bonus?”
“I know. Didn’t the two of us discuss this matter before? Didn’t the FA come forward to stop it? Why, is there any change later?”
Guardiola is now focusing all his energy on leading Barcelona and Real Madrid to the La Liga title, and he has no in-depth understanding of the situation at Crystal Palace.
“Hehe, you see Tottenham Hotspur’s performance in the last round, is it normal?”
Pere Guardiola smiled meaningfully.
“It’s normal, Tottenham players are very engaged. Although they lost, they fought to the last minute and were very professional.”
Guardiola just watched the replay and was impressed by this.
“Hehe, it’s not normal because it’s too hard.”
“Eperey, what do you mean?”
Guardiola is not a fool, and he remembered it when he heard this.
“I don’t know anything. But according to common sense, does a team with no desires have to work so hard in the last round of the league? Don’t forget, there is still a World Cup this year.”
“Makes sense.”
Guardiola nodded slightly.
“Peret, what do you mean, although the FA stopped the matter of winning the bonus. But in private, someone still shot at Crystal Palace?”
“That’s right. Pep, although Crystal Palace’s strength is indeed very strong, from the current situation, they have many enemies, and they are all very strong. If you really want to take over Crystal Palace, you must be mentally prepared. ”
As Guardiola’s eldest brother, Pere Guardiola is both looking forward to and worried about his brother taking over as the head coach of Crystal Palace.
Because Chen Ran has brought Crystal Palace to an unparalleled height, it is too much pressure to be the head coach of Crystal Palace after Chen Ran.
Guardiola’s every move will be magnified to compare with Chen Ran.
The strength of the team is so strong, it should have good results; if the results are not good, it must be all the responsibility of the head coach.
In case Guardiola’s performance in coaching Crystal Palace is not good, then he is likely to fall down and end his coaching career.
“Peret, two years ago, when the boss wanted to hand over Crystal Palace to me, I didn’t dare to take it.”
“After two years of training, if I don’t dare to take over Crystal Palace, then my life may end here.”
“People, sometimes you have to fight!”
