Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 465
Chapter 465 Gone?
The start of the game was very smooth. In the sixth minute, Brazil got a corner kick.
After Neymar took a corner kick, David Luiz, who was in charge of grabbing the front point, failed to reach the ball under the interference of the Colombian defender.
When the ball was leaked to the back point, Thiago Silva rushed out suddenly and blocked the ball into the Colombian net with his thigh.
“GOAL!!!”
With Thiago Silva scoring a goal, the Brazilian team led Colombia 1-0 in the opening six minutes.
Seeing that the game went so smoothly, the entire Castelao Stadium became a sea of joy, and the fans seemed to have seen the result of the Brazilian team entering the semi-finals.
“Good guy, Brazil played this game more easily than the previous games against Mexico and Chile.”
“Hahahaha, this is the difference between using the bus tactics or not.”
“That’s right. Although the Brazilian team won the two games in the end, it took a lot of effort. Today’s match against Colombia, the Brazilian team may easily win.”
“Now we have to see who will be Brazil’s opponent in the semi-finals between France and Germany.”
“Brothers, since the Brazilian team has no suspense in this game, then I will go to watch the German game.”
“Go together, go together.”
After Thiago Silva scored a goal, not only the players on the field celebrated wildly, but even the Brazil bench was full of laughter.
Chen Ran, on the other hand, walked to the sidelines alone with a serious expression.
Special meow, if I remember correctly, in the previous life, not long after the opening, Thiago Silva received a corner kick from Neymar and broke through the Colombian goal.
The progress of this game is the same as in the previous life.
Chen Ran glanced at Neymar, who was hugging with his teammates to celebrate his goal, feeling extremely entangled.
Would it be a bit too exaggerated to replace Neymar now?
Chen Ran looked up again at the time on the big screen in the stadium. The game had only lasted seven minutes.
If he replaces Neymar now, I am afraid not only the fans and the media, but even the players themselves will think that there is something wrong with their brains.
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Ran gritted his teeth, no matter how much he was scolded, he would be scolded, and he must nip the danger in its infancy.
Chen Ran then turned around and called William who was celebrating a goal with his teammates.
“William, you go to warm up now, and you will replace Neymar as a left midfielder later.”
“What? Boss, are you telling me to replace Neymar?”
Although playing the game is something every substitute player longs for, William still looked at Chen Ran with an incredulous expression.
Obviously, Chen Ran’s order shocked William.
“Yes, you heard me right. Hurry up and warm up, understand?”
“Okay, boss.”
As William ran to warm up, everyone on the bench knew Chen Ran’s latest instructions.
Everyone looked at Chen Ran with a hellish look, and several assistant coaches also came over to persuade Chen Ran to take back the order.
Chen Ran coached the Brazil team this time, and did not bring anyone from the Crystal Palace Club.
His assistant coaches are all Brazilian local coaches under the Figel family.
Although these people successfully helped Chen Ran quickly integrate into the unfamiliar place of Brazil, compared to Southgate and Simeone, who have been with them for many years, they are obviously still unable to obey unconditionally.
The match was going on, and Chen Ran didn’t have the time and energy to patiently explain his intentions.
He simply sternly said: “I don’t care if you understand or not, I will execute the order immediately. If something goes wrong, I will take full responsibility.”
Seeing that Chen Ran, who was usually amiable, suddenly lost his temper, the others didn’t dare to say anything, and went to carry out Chen Ran’s orders honestly.
Soon after the warm-up ended, William stood on the sidelines, waiting for a dead ball to replace him.
“Huh? It’s been less than ten minutes since the game started, and the Brazilian team is planning to make a substitution. Could it be that some players are injured?”
“I didn’t notice who was injured, did you see it?”
“No. It’s been less than ten minutes since the beginning, and there haven’t been any serious fouls.”
“Strange, if it’s not an injury, then what is Chen Ran trying to do?”
“Isn’t it because the score is leading that you plan to shrink the formation and play a defensive counterattack?”
“Isn’t it? It’s only ten minutes into the game. The Brazilian team won’t be so outrageous, right?”
“Who knows what Chen Ran thinks.”
“Do not understand.”
Soon, all the fans around the world who followed the game saw an incredible substitution.
Just ten minutes into the game, the Brazilian team replaced Neymar, the core of the team’s offense, with William.
“Exchange for Neymar? Is Neymar injured? If so, it will be a fatal blow to the Brazilian team. I hope Neymar’s injury is not serious and will not affect the following games.”
Not only the fans couldn’t understand the substitution, but even the commentators and guests of the major TV stations broadcasting the game all over the world were also at a loss for the Brazilian team’s substitution.
“Neymar also seemed to be shocked by being replaced. He was stunned for a long time before starting to run to the sidelines at the urging of the referee.”
“Looking at Neymar’s running posture, it doesn’t look like he’s injured.”
“If Neymar is not injured, why did coach Chen Ran replace him?”
“Could it be that Chen Ran thinks that there is no suspense in this game, so he replaced Neymar in advance, so as to preserve his physical fitness for France or Germany in the semifinals?”
“But the game has only been played for ten minutes. At this time, I think that the Brazilian team will definitely win the game. Wouldn’t it be a bit too contemptuous of Colombia?”
“Hehe, that Huaguo man probably won too many championship trophies, and he started to look arrogant.”
On the sidelines, seeing Neymar reluctantly leaving the field, Chen Ran went to greet him in person.
“Neymar, we have basically won this game. Take a good rest and prepare for the next semi-final against France or Germany.”
“Okay, boss, I see.”
After hearing Chen Ran’s explanation, Neymar’s complexion became better. Without getting emotional, he obediently returned to the bench and sat down.
Chen Ran was also very helpless, he couldn’t say that you would get hurt if you continued kicking, so he could only make up this excuse to get over the matter.
However, Chen Ran was only focused on appeasing Neymar, but he didn’t notice that there was a microphone for radio broadcasting on the ground not far behind him.
This time, the whole world knows why he replaced Neymar.
“Fuck! Chen Ran is too arrogant, isn’t he? Just ten minutes into the game, he is sure to win Colombia?”
“This is too arrogant. Does Chen Ran have won too many championship trophies and is starting to float?”
“Ahem, Chen Ran is indeed a little too exaggerated this time, at least it’s not too late to replace Neymar during the intermission.”
“Exactly. Don’t you know how to keep a low profile and build character? Such a high profile is a bit of a crime.”
“It’s all right now, the whole world knows that Chen Ran looks down on Colombia.”
“Chen Ran is usually such a thug, this time he made a bad move.”
At this time, Chen Ran didn’t know that what he said to comfort Neymar had been spread all over the world.
Seeing that after Neymar was replaced, although the Brazilian team’s offensive has weakened, they still took the initiative on the field overall, so Chen Ran sat back on the bench with confidence.
Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, both teams failed to score again, and Brazil entered the intermission with a 1:0 lead.
In the Internet age, the speed of information dissemination is frighteningly fast.
When Chen Ran walked into the locker room, the assistant coach told Chen Ran what he had said to Neymar earlier and what had been picked up by the microphone.
Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, then he could only smile wryly and shook his head.
Damn it, he finally understands now what it means to be “a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis, can’t tell if he suffers”.
After clearing up his mood, Chen Ran went straight to the players of the Brazilian team.
“Guys, what I said to Neymar in the first half of the game, the sound that this game has been won, has now spread all over the world.”
While speaking, Chen Ran took the tablet from the assistant coach and played the video again.
“噗嗤.”
Seeing the embarrassment of the head coach Chen Ran, a guy couldn’t help laughing.
“Ha ha ha ha.”
Once someone took the lead, the rest couldn’t hold back anymore, and the entire locker room suddenly became a sea of joy.
“Ahem, have you laughed enough?”
Chen Ran did not become angry from embarrassment, but waited for a while before speaking again.
“Now that I’ve announced to the world, our Brazil team won this game. I thought, you guys won’t let me break my promise?”
While speaking, Chen Ran glanced at all the team members with unkind eyes.
“Won’t!”
“Boss, don’t worry, we will definitely not let you down.”
“Exactly. Brazil is going to win the World Cup, and Colombia won’t win it easily.”
The game scored early, which made the Brazilian players full of confidence in winning the game.
“Very good. I hope you will score another goal in the second half of the game to completely seal the victory of the game, understand?”
“clear!”
In Colombia, they also learned what Chen Ran said to Neymar from the Internet.
Suddenly, the entire locker room was filled with anger.
“This Chen Ran obviously looks down on us Colombia!”
“That’s right, we must show him some color.”
“It’s best to knock out the Brazilian team and see how the Chinese man ends up.”
“That’s right, if you kill the Brazilian team, Colombia will also enter the semi-finals!”
Seeing the high morale of the players, head coach Pekerman nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, he was a little grateful to Chen Ran.
This guy not only replaced Neymar, who was the most offensive threat to the Brazilian team, early, but also helped him stimulate the fighting spirit of the players. He is simply the best assister.
Now that the morale of the team is strong, Pekerman decided to strike while the iron was hot.
He first replaced Gutierrez with Bacca, and then replaced Carlos Sanchez with Quintero, preparing to give the Brazilian team a big counterattack.
As soon as the second half of the game started, Chen Ran knew that his opponent was going to launch a general attack when he saw Colombia changing two players in a row.
However, without the “Tiger” Falcao, whether it is Gutierrez or Bacca, or Jackson Martinez sitting on the bench, they do not pose a big threat to the Brazilian team’s defense .
As for James Rodriguez, who is currently the most threatening player in the Colombian team, Chen Ran specially arranged for Fernandinho to mark him closely in this game.
At least so far, Fernandinho has done a good job, leaving James Rodriguez without any outstanding performance.
Although coach Pekerman replaced two new players, he did not change the situation on the Colombian field.
When the game progressed to the 68th minute, Kaka dribbled the ball in the middle and broke through at high speed, and was brought down by Colombian Guarin.
While the referee showed Guarin a yellow card, he also awarded Brazil a direct free kick.
However, the distance of this free kick is a bit far, at least thirty-five meters.
This time, since Neymar is no longer on the field, Hulk and David Luiz, two guys who are good at free kicks, both stood at the penalty spot.
In Chen Ran’s memory, in his previous life, it was David Luiz who scored this long-range free kick and helped Brazil take a 2:0 lead.
So, when this free kick appeared again, Chen Ran decisively walked to the sidelines and called Alves who was closest to him to his side.
“Dani, go and tell David Luiz that he will take this free kick. Remember, let him hit the goal directly.”
“Okay, boss.”
As Chen Ran’s old subordinate in the Crystal Palace, Alves naturally obeyed his boss’ orders.
He immediately turned around and ran back to the field, conveying Chen Ran’s order to David Louis.
Hearing Chen Ran’s order, Hulk glanced resentfully at the bench on the sidelines.
In the last game, Chen Ran gave Neymar the chance to take the free kick, and this time gave it to David Luiz. Does the boss have any opinion on him?
Fortunately, Hulk is not stunned, knowing that the team’s victory is more important at this time.
In the end, he just touched his nose and stepped aside, obediently obeying Chen Ran’s orders.
Seeing that the boss specially asked Alves to run over and designated him to take the free kick, David Lewis immediately felt trusted.
Looking up at the position of Colombian goalkeeper Ospina, David Luiz took a deep breath.
Run up, swing your legs.
“boom!”
David Luiz rubbed a curved ball with the instep of his right foot, and the ball drew a huge arc and flew towards the upper left corner of the Colombian goal.
Goalkeeper Ospina flew up, tried his best but failed to reach the ball, and could only watch the ball fly from his hand into the net.
“GOAL!!!”
Brazil leads Colombia 2-0 with David Luiz’s free kick.
