Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 111 God "Gou" or Chen "Gou"?
No matter how many contests there are outside the field, in the final analysis, football still has to be judged on the field.

A week later, Chen Ran ushered in the eighth round of the Premier League. Crystal Palace played against Fulham at home.

Fulham is a team that has been on the relegation line of the Premier League all year round. The biggest player in the team is Andy Cole, who just joined from Blackburn this season. .

Other players such as French midfielder Mar Blanco, Polish international Radzinski, Portuguese international Boamot and other players can also be regarded as powerful players.

Coach Coleman is a former Welsh international. He retired from Fulham in 2002 and became the head coach of Fulham in 2003.

He is only 34 years old now, and he is a veritable young marshal.In his previous life in 2018, he even served as the head coach of a club in northern China.

Facing such a Fulham team and playing at home, Chen Ran had nothing to worry about, and immediately sent out an attacking lineup.

When seeing the lineup of Crystal Palace, Fulham coach Coleman felt a chill.

As a young coach, although he lacks experience, his hard work makes up for this shortcoming.

Crystal Palace's tactics are now firmly imprinted in Coleman's mind.

Whatever player Chen Ran sends, he can immediately know what tactics Crystal Palace is going to adopt.

Now the starting lineup sent by Crystal Palace made Coleman immediately understand that this game is difficult for him.

Sure enough, as he expected, Crystal Palace launched a fierce attack at the beginning of the game.

The offensive was wave after wave, suffocating Fulham's defensive players.

Coleman, who was standing on the sidelines, could only watch every attack of Crystal Palace anxiously.

Because he has sent Fulham's strongest lineup, the tactics are also adopted to shrink in his own half to play defensive counterattacks.

After playing all the available cards in hand, whether they can resist the offensive of Crystal Palace can only depend on the performance of the Fulham players on the field.

At this time, Coleman's heart rate seems to be changing with the rhythm of Crystal Palace's attack.

As the game played more and more, the players of Crystal Palace became more and more proficient in Guardiola's tactics.

Standing on the sidelines, Chen Ran watched with relief as the players skillfully tore apart Fulham's defense, looking for any exposed loopholes.

This is the result of more than a year of running-in training for the entire team.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran's thoughts drifted outside the court again.

If the members of the Crystal Palace can resist the temptation from the outside and no one is willing to leave, then this slaughter plan might as well be shelved for the time being.

It doesn't matter if you don't earn those transfer fees.

Chen Ran secretly made this important decision.

After all, it is not easy to build a team with super combat effectiveness, and Chen Ran will not lose the big because of small things in order to make money.

"How to choose is up to you."

Looking at the familiar faces on the field, Chen Ran muttered to himself.

When the game progressed to No. 209 minutes, the ball came to Ronaldo's feet again.

This time he didn't play any tricks, and directly used his speed to eat Fulham's German full-back Woltz raw.

When bringing the ball close to the bottom line, Ronaldo passed the ball into Fulham's penalty area before Woltz stretched his leg to block.

Fulham's two central defenders, Knight and Goma, tried their best to pinch Tony. As a result, none of the three could jump up. The ball passed Fulham's goal and fell towards point later.

"boom!"

A small figure suddenly appeared.

It turned out that Franck Ribery, who was on the right, rushed into the penalty area, snatched another Fulham defender Jenson, jumped to the top, and pushed the ball into the goal guarded by De Blony.

"Goal"

Crystal Palace lead Fulham 1-0.

Fulham took all precautions and focused on Tony very well, but ignored Ribery, who has never been related to headers, and Coleman was so angry that he jumped on the sidelines.

After scoring the first goal, Crystal Palace, which opened up the situation, played more easily.

Chen Ran stretched out his hand and waved towards the goal of Crystal Palace. Now he doesn't need to speak, the players know what he means.

The players of Crystal Palace now know what kind of person their head coach is. As long as the task is completed, he is the master who will not give more effort.

When Fulham kicked off again, it was discovered that Crystal Palace did not continue to press the attack, but had retracted its own half and played a defensive counterattack.

Coleman had seriously studied Chen Ran's tactics, and when he saw what happened on the field, his heart suddenly became cold.

Because he knows that compared to offense, defensive counterattack is actually the housekeeping skill of Crystal Palace.

In the last season, Crystal Palace relied on the two tactics of defensive counterattack and twin tower tactics to win the Championship of the British Championship and the League Cup.

Coleman asked himself, if Fulham were to press out to attack now, could Fulham be able to cope with Crystal Palace's defensive counterattack?

Shaking his head secretly, although he didn't want to admit it, Coleman knew that he was not sure at all.

In fact, before the game, Coleman had already made plans for possible unfavorable situations in the game.

Now, he had to adopt one of them.

It's very simple, that is to pretend that nothing happened.

Fulham continued to implement the previous defensive counterattack tactics, as if the conceded goal did not exist.

Because Coleman has thought about it carefully, losing a goal to the league leader is not a shame, and he can fully explain the past.

But if he loses three or four at once, then he will be under a lot of pressure, and he may lose his position as the head coach who has not yet secured a seat.

Therefore, Chen Ran saw that after the game restarted, Fulham was still shrinking in their own half, and had no intention of actively attacking to equalize the score.

"Hehe, this Coleman is quite sensible."

Chen Ran was also a little surprised, didn't everyone say that young people are impulsive?

Why did the young coaches he met become more cunning than the other, so they couldn't be fooled at all.

This Coleman is so calm in the face of difficulties, without any emotional adjustment.

This guy has a future.

Chen Ran looked approvingly at the Fulham bench in the distance, then returned to the Crystal Palace bench and sat down.

It seems that there is no suspense in today's game.

There are not many troops on both sides to attack, so the game is naturally not good.

However, the Crystal Palace fans at home did not care about this at all.

Now as long as Crystal Palace can continue their winning streak in the Premier League, they will be very happy.

As for the process of the game not exciting enough?
It doesn't matter, we Crystal Palace fans are not that hypocritical.

The singing of Crystal Palace fans has not stopped since before the game started at Selhurst Park.It seems that they are not here to watch the game, but to participate in a big concert.

The reporters in the stands looked at each other in blank dismay.

How is this the case again?

As soon as you take the lead, you retreat back to play a defensive counterattack. Do you have any higher pursuits for Crystal Palace?

"This Chinese man, the coaching philosophy is too utilitarian."

"Yeah, if everyone does what he does, can we still watch the game?"

"Yes, we must together condemn his behavior."

"However, it is understandable to play defensive counterattack after Crystal Palace leads. Why is Fulham already behind, or continue to adopt defensive counterattack tactics?"

"That's right. This Coleman is a coward. He must have been frightened by that Chinese man's winning streak."

"This Coleman became the head coach of Fulham right after he retired, and he probably doesn't have much experience. I think it's impossible to expect him to create some difficulties for that Chinese man."

"Well, if Crystal Palace wins this game again, it will be the first eight consecutive victories in the Premier League. This is too terrible, and I don't know who can stop their progress."

"Yeah. Every time Crystal Palace wins a game, they are creating a new record."

"Don't sigh there anymore, let's think about how to write the manuscript after the game."

"How else can I write it? It's nothing more than flattering that Chinese man and the Crystal Palace."

"Oh, I have to write these again. When will these days end!"

During the intermission, Chen Ran simply replaced Cesc Fabregas with Yaya Toure, and at the same time pulled Modric back to the midfielder position, completely launching a defensive counterattack.

And Coleman also persisted in his determination to play dead and did not make any changes.

As a result, the second half of the game remained uneventful.

Both teams used only forward players to attack, and naturally it was difficult to score goals.

As the reporters expected, Crystal Palace finally relied on the little Ribery's header to win the game 1-0 at home against Fulham, who was a guest.

While setting a record of eight consecutive wins at the start of the Premier League, it also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of 200 million euros.

In the other games of the eighth round of the Premier League, Arsenal beat Charlton 4-0 at home and resumed their crazy scoring state.

In a highlight of this round of competition, Mourinho led Chelsea to beat Benitez's Liverpool at home 1-0.

Ferguson's Manchester United once again failed to win the game, being tied 1-1 by Middlesbrough at Old Trafford.

Crystal Palace now tops the table with 24 points.

Arsenal followed closely with 22 points from seven wins and one draw, while Chelsea ranked third with nineteen points from six wins, one draw and one loss.

Since the top three teams have all won the game, the gap between each other has not changed.

The situation is still very anxious.

Thousands of miles away in China, the fans who followed Chen Ran and Crystal Palace were also very excited.

Eight consecutive victories at the start of the league, let alone in the highly competitive Premier League.Even if it is placed in any country's league, that is a remarkable achievement.

"I didn't expect that. This Chen Ran is really powerful. A little-known Crystal Palace was brought to this point by him."

"Yeah, I originally paid attention to this team only because the owner of Crystal Palace is our Huaguo talent, but who knows that it is out of control now. I have not missed every game of Crystal Palace, and my dark circles have come out."

"That's right, I also watched every Crystal Palace game. That Chen Ran's tactics are too rogue. As soon as he takes the lead, he immediately retreats to play a defensive counterattack."

"It's a bit of a rogue. There have been a few times where I've seen the manager of the opposing team fly into a rage, but there's nothing they can do about Crystal Palace."

"What kind of chicken thief? Can you talk? This is too ugly. What he does should be called a 'gou', understand?"

"Go? What do you mean?"

"You dog who is just trying to survive!"

"Hey, don't say it, this word is quite vivid when used to describe Chen Ran's tactical style."

"Right, the word 'gou' has a profound meaning, and it can't be more suitable to describe Chen Ran."

"I've decided. If Chen Ran can lead Crystal Palace to the Premier League title this season, I'll call him God Gou. If he doesn't win the championship, I'll call him Gou Chen."

"Damn it, whether it's God 'Gou' or Chen 'Gou', it all depends on Chen Ran's own choice."

"Hahaha that's a good idea. I shouted that too."

"+1"

"+2"

"."

"+10086"

Chen Ran didn't know yet that he was about to share the same name with a certain scumbag in a country thousands of miles away.

As Crystal Palace continued to lead the Premier League standings, many players in the team also attracted the attention of their respective national team coaches, and were selected for the national team squad for the first time in their lives.

Because of joining the Crystal Palace, these players who changed the trajectory of their lives were selected for the national team for the first time much earlier than in their previous lives.

Like Crouch, although he was only the main substitute of Crystal Palace, he was still recruited into the national team by the current England coach Eriksson.

This is a whole year earlier than when Crouch entered the national team in his previous life.

This time, Chen Ran was completely free.

Because Crystal Palace's first-team players were almost all drawn by their respective national teams, even his assistant coaches Southgate and Simeone were not spared, leaving only Guardiola, who is already in a semi-retired state.

The players under him were promoted to the national football team one after another, but Chen Ran's mood was mixed, and it was difficult to be happy.

The advantage is of course that the value of these players has been blessed by the status of the national team, and the tide has risen.

But there may be more disadvantages. First, frequent national team tasks will inevitably be avoided in the future, which will make the Premier League schedule even worse for the already well-known intensive competition.

The second is that with the opportunity to perform in the national team, these players may attract more tigers and hungry wolves.

In the future, Chen Ran may not only be guarded against these giant clubs in England.
