Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 469

Chapter 469 Apologizing to Messi

Compared with Chen Ran, the current head coach of the Argentine national team, Alejandro Savilla, is not very famous.

After retiring, he served as Passarella’s assistant coach for a long time, and coached together in the Argentine National Team, Italian Parma Club, Uruguay National Team, Mexican Montero Club, Brazilian Corinthians Club and Argentine River Plate Club.

It was not until 2009 that Alejandro Savilla coached the Argentina La Plata University Club for the first time as a head coach.

What people didn’t expect was that he was an instant hit. He not only led the team to win the Argentine League Championship, but also won the Copa Libertadores and the runner-up of the Club World Cup in one fell swoop.

Next, Alejandro Savilla resigned because he was dissatisfied with the management of the La Plata University Club for wantonly selling the team’s main players.

Then, he was appointed by the Argentine Football Association as the new head coach of the national team to replace Batista who lost to Chen Ran in the Copa America.

The long-term experience as Passarella’s assistant coach has enabled Alejandro Savilla to accumulate a lot of experience in collecting opponent intelligence and analyzing game videos.

Alejandro Savilla also carefully studied Chen Ran for dismissing his predecessor Batista for a long time.

But after he watched hundreds of videos of Chen Ran leading the team, Alejandro Savilla was completely confused.

Wang Defa!

This Chinese native has no shortcomings!

Whether it is offense or defense, it seems to be his strong point.

Coupled with the fact that the Brazilian team is already strong, Alejandro Savilla even felt that if his Argentina met Chen Ran’s Brazil, he would not be sure of winning.

Fortunately, the semi-final between Brazil and Germany brought a pleasant surprise to Alejandro Savilla.

Neymar’s absence from injury made the Brazilian team’s strongest offensive strength suddenly short, which finally allowed Alejandro Savilla to rekindle his confidence in defeating the Brazilian team.

On the Brazilian side, Neymar’s injury has also been resolved, although there is no worst case like a fracture.

But the torn lateral ankle ligament is enough to make him bid farewell to this World Cup ahead of schedule.

Due to Neymar’s injury absence, Chen Ran had to make substantial adjustments to the team’s starting lineup.

When Chen Ran told his assistant coaches about the starting lineup, the assistants looked at each other. After hesitating for a long time, someone bit the bullet and stood up.

“Boss, I know that after Neymar and Willian are injured, someone needs to replace them. But Coutinho and Oscar didn’t have many chances to play before, so it’s hard to say how they are. Now in the final, let them start together, will it? Would that be a little too risky?”

Looking at the Brazilian assistants in front of him, Chen Ran smiled slightly.

He also knows that his assistant’s reminder is good intentions. According to common sense, it is indeed a bit risky for him to arrange the starting lineup like this.

However, he has the trump card of the system, so these worries are naturally not a problem.

“Don’t worry, I have personally inspected it. Both Coutinho and Oscar are now at their peak. I believe they will surprise us when they reach the final.”

Chen Ran, the head coach, has already said so, and the Brazilian assistant coaches naturally stopped talking. Anyway, they have already done what they should do, and even if something goes wrong in the end, they have a clear conscience.

After all, at least so far, the decisions Chen Ran made, even though they seemed a bit unbelievable at the time, have been proved to be correct afterwards. This is also the key reason why everyone is willing to obey Chen Ran.

However, when the Brazilian team’s starting list was announced, it immediately caused huge controversy.

“Good guy, the Brazilian team used a very conservative tactic in the semi-final against the German team. Now it’s the final, and when Neymar can’t play, they put on an offensive posture instead. Chen Ran What on earth is this guy thinking?”

“Could it be that Chen Ran wants to make up for the loss caused by Neymar’s absence by increasing the number of offensive players?”

“What the upstairs said makes sense, maybe Chen Ran thinks so.”

“However, neither Coutinho nor Oscar had many opportunities to play before. Now in such an important match as the World Cup final, if these two teenagers who are just in their early twenties are suddenly sent on the field to play the main force, will it be possible? Question?”

“That’s right, this is indeed a huge hidden danger. These two teenagers are only 22 years old now. It’s unknown how their psychological endurance is and whether they can withstand the pressure of the World Cup finals. Chen Ran put them together It’s too risky to be in the starting lineup!”

“I feel that Neymar’s injury made Chen Ran a little anxious. His arrangement is like a gamble!”

“It seems that the odds of Brazil’s championship on the gambling company have plummeted after Neymar was injured, which is not unreasonable.”

“Hey, I hope the two teenagers, Coutinho and Oscar, can live up to their expectations and not let Chen Ran down their trust.”

In the pre-match preparation meeting of the Brazilian team, when Coutinho and Oscar learned that they had entered the final starting lineup, even they themselves could not believe it.

Coutinho even pulled the jersey of Fernandinho who was sitting next to him, “Fernando, did the boss pronounce my name just now?”

“Haha, yes, Felipe, the boss did read your name, you entered the starting lineup for the final. Do well, man, and score goals.”

Fernandinho turned his head and saw that Coutinho was pulling his jersey, smiled kindly, and gave a few words of encouragement by the way.

However, when Fernandinho turned around, his face gradually became serious.

Both he and Coutinho are playing in the Premier League. Although one is in Manchester City and the other is in Liverpool, Fernandinho still has some understanding of Coutinho’s situation.

Brilliant and promising, this is what Fernandinho thinks of Coutinho in his heart.

However, the future is boundless, which means that there is still a lot of room for growth.

At least for now, Fernandinho is also a little worried about Chen Ran putting Coutinho in the starting list for the World Cup finals.

Not to mention a young player like Coutinho who is just in his early twenties, even himself, an old player who is about to turn 30, is a little nervous now.

This young man, will he be able to withstand the pressure then?

Similar situation, there is an Oscar.

If one Coutinho makes Fernandinho a little worried, then adding an Oscar will immediately increase the uncertainty of the Brazilian team exponentially.

Thinking of this, Fernandinho glanced worriedly at Chen Ran on the stage. For a moment, he even wanted to question Chen Ran’s formation.

However, considering Chen Ran’s brilliant achievements in the past and the serious consequences of doing so, Fernandinho finally resisted his impulse.

Hope the boss is right this time.

Chen Ran, who was standing on the stage, didn’t know that Fernandinho would have so many inner dramas.

However, he has long expected that the final starting lineup he made for the Brazil team will definitely cause controversy.

For this, Chen Ran has already made full preparations.

“Guys, I know that this starting lineup will definitely have different opinions. Especially when Coutinho and Oscar are put in the starting lineup at the same time, many people are very puzzled. Don’t know what I said right?”

Speaking of this, Chen Ran stopped and looked around at the Brazilian players sitting below.

Except for a few people, no one dared to look at Chen Ran.

Obviously, Chen Ran spoke out everyone’s aspirations.

Seeing that no one was talking, Chen Ran suddenly changed the topic.

“I have a special ability, that is, I can accurately judge the state of a player. This, Kaka, Thiago Silva, Maicon and Alves who played for the Crystal Palace Club can testify to me. ”

Although what Chen Ran said was a bit inexplicable, but out of curiosity, other Brazilian players looked at those who played for the Crystal Palace club.

“Yes, the boss does have this ability. When the boss coached Crystal Palace, if he said that he gave a certain player’free fire’, it meant that the player was at the peak of his state at that time.”

As Chen Ran’s friend, Kaka, who has followed Chen Ran for many years, immediately stood up to testify for Chen Ran, and now he seems to understand what Chen Ran wants to do.

“Ricciardo is right. This matter is not a secret at the Crystal Palace Club. Everyone knows it, but they usually don’t tell it to the outside world.”

Immediately after Kaka, Thiago Silva also stood up and made a guarantee for Chen Ran.

With the guarantee of the captain and deputy captain of the team, coupled with Maicon and Alves, other Brazilian players gradually began to believe that Chen Ran possessed this special ability.

At the very least, no one came forward to openly question it.

Seeing everyone’s reactions, Chen Ran nodded in satisfaction.

“The reason why I say so much today is just to tell everyone that Coutinho and Oscar are currently at their peak. I believe that they will definitely surprise us in the final.”

“Coutinho!”

“boss.”

“Do you have confidence?”

“Have!”

“very good.”

“Oscar!”

“boss.”

“Do you have confidence?”

“I will never let down the trust of my boss!”

“very good.”

“In this World Cup final, I will give you two, Kaka and Diego Costa the ‘right to fire freely’. The team’s offense will be left to you.”

July 14, Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Maracana Stadium.

The 2014 World Cup final, Brazil vs. Argentina, officially started.

After the Copa America in Argentina in 2011, Brazil and Argentina, the two deadly rivals, once again met in the final.

Three years have made Messi mature a lot.

At the age of 27, whether it is technical ability, physical condition, or accumulation of experience, it is the golden stage of a player. This is also an important reason why Messi can lead Argentina to the World Cup final in Brazil.

Before the game, when Chen Ran shook hands with Argentine coach Alejandro Savilla, Messi also followed.

“Boss, I won’t lose to Brazil again this time!”

“Hahahaha, Leo, it depends on whether Ricardo and Thiago agree.”

Looking at Messi’s eyes full of fighting spirit, Chen Ran couldn’t help laughing out loud.

“Boss, I will prove it to you.”

After finishing speaking, Messi directly left Chen Ran and Alejandro Savilla, turned around and walked back to the player channel.

Alejandro Savilla pretended to shrug his shoulders helplessly, greeted Chen Ran, and then walked towards the Argentine bench with a smile.

Looking back at Messi’s back, Chen Ran also laughed.

“Leo, I’m sorry, I might disappoint you again this time.”

Chen Ran silently apologized to Messi in his heart.

No way, just now, in the locker room of the Brazil team, Chen Ran used a “first-level chicken blood card” for Kaka, Coutinho and Oscar respectively.

Then, another “first-level sight card” was used for Diego Costa.

It is purely a dream to rely on Argentina’s unreliable defense to defend against Brazil’s offense.

As the Italian referee Rizzoli blew the whistle to start the final, the two old enemies, Brazil and Argentina, almost without any temptation, immediately launched an attack on the opponent’s defense.

Contrary to most people’s expectations, the final of this World Cup was very open and closed.

When the game progressed to the eleventh minute, Brazil goalkeeper Cesar hugged Higuain’s header and immediately kicked the ball to the frontcourt with a big kick.

Diego Costa quickly rushed to the point where the ball landed, and used his strong body to block Demichelis, who was marking him, behind him. Then, with a shake of his head, he ferried the ball to Kaka, who was rushing in at high speed. .

Kaka, who is 32 years old this year, seems to be 22 years old again after using the “Level 1 Chicken Blood Card”, at an astonishingly fast speed.

As a teammate of the Crystal Palace Club, Mascherano, who knows Kaka’s current situation clearly, almost thought he had an illusion.

When he reacted and wanted to use foul tactics to keep Kaka, Kaka had already rushed out with the ball like a gust of wind.
