Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 127 I thank his eight generations of ancestors!
Intermission, Crystal Palace dressing room.

"Diego, are you tired from the first half? In the second half, you should go down and rest first. We still have the Premier League to play the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, boss."

Simeone nodded, he knew that now is not the time to show off, after all, age is not forgiving.

In the first half, Riquelme ran all over the field with Simeone in order to get rid of him, but he was exhausted.

"Nemania, you will replace Diego as captain of the field for the second half."

"Don't worry, boss, I won't let you down."

Before Chen Ran finished speaking, Vidic stood up excitedly, while busy showing his loyalty, he accepted the captain's armband from Simeone.

"Javier, your task after you come on the field is to take over from Diego to mark Riquelme. I only have one request, that is, wherever he goes, you go there and try to disrupt his offense as much as possible."

"Also, Riquelme is an emotional player. You have to find a way to irritate him, so that his threat will be greatly reduced, understand?"

"Understood, boss."

Chen Ran turned to look at Mascherano again, explaining clearly what he needed to do.

"Little Luca, move your position forward to play the attacking midfielder, we will start attacking in the second half. However, if the ball falls to Villarreal, you have to keep an eye on their midfielder Marcos Senna , he also has a certain organizational ability, and he cannot be missed."

"Okay, boss."

Hearing Chen Ran call out his name, Modric immediately nodded in response.

"Cesc, you replaced Yaya in the second half. Your task is very heavy, not only responsible for the defensive task of the midfielder, but also assisting Luka in organizing the offense. Can you do it?"

"No problem, boss."

Cesc Fabregas slapped his chest loudly. With continuous training, his self-confidence is getting stronger and stronger.

After the intermission was over and the players walked out of the locker room, Guardiola joined Chen Ran again.

"Boss, isn't your change of formation too risky?" Guardiola looked at Chen Ran worriedly.

"Javier Mascherano wants to mark Riquelme. If Riquelme takes him away, then we will only have Cesc Fabregas in the midfielder position."

"And Cesc Fabregas is not a dedicated defensive midfielder. Isn't this position too thin?"

It has to be said that Chen Ran's change is indeed a bit risky, and Guardiola's concerns are not unreasonable.

"Josep, who do you think is the starting point of Villarreal's attack?"

Chen Ran did not directly answer Guardiola's question, but instead asked him a question.

"It must be Riquelme and maybe Marcos Senna"

"Oh, I see." Guardiola exclaimed.

Before Chen Ran could answer, he suddenly realized, and suddenly understood Chen Ran's arrangement.

"Boss, you mean, with Mascherano on Riquelme and Modric on Marcos Senna, that freezes both of Villarreal's playmakers .”

"That's right. Villarreal's offense is mainly organized by these two people. If you stare at these two people, Villarreal's offense will be largely useless."

"And their wing attack, it's not that I look down on Villarreal, it's not comparable to ours."

"Of course, there are risks. But when Modric and Fabregas play at the same time, after our offensive starts, it's hard to say how many offensive opportunities Villarreal will have left."

After adjusting the tactics, as soon as the second half started, the formation of Crystal Palace began to press forward as a whole.

Villarreal's pressure suddenly increased sharply, and they could no longer pass and cut smoothly in the midfield like in the first half.

"You guy, don't keep following me, is there any end?"

Riquelme glared at Mascherano gloomily. They are both Argentines, so there is naturally no obstacle in communicating.

In the first half, Simeone took care of him personally, but that was the long-established Argentine predecessor.Although Riquelme was arrogant, he didn't dare to say anything.

Unexpectedly, Simeone was replaced by Crystal Palace during the intermission. As a result, a younger and better running Mascherano continued to pester him.

"Haha, don't be angry. I can't help it. The boss told me to follow you all the time. I will follow you wherever you go."

Mascherano laughed, and did not turn against Riquelme. After all, they are fellow Argentines, and they may play together in the national team in the future.

"Your Hua Guo boss really thinks highly of me, and even specially arranged for Argentines to watch me."

"Well, maybe the boss thinks that Argentines know Argentines better. However, you should thank our boss, at least we are both Argentines, and we won't cheat on you."

Mascherano talked to Riquelme, but he didn't relax at all.

He followed Riquelme closely, making Riquelme anxious.

"I thank his eight generations of ancestors!"

"what!"

Just after scolding Chen Ran, Riquelme let out a scream.

"Fxxxk! Didn't you say that they are all Argentines, and they don't know how to do black feet?"

Riquelme fell to the ground, holding his feet and glaring at Mascherano.

"You can't blame me for this. Who made you move so fast? I wanted to poke the ball, but you kicked the ball away first, and it landed on your foot."

"How about you move slower next time?"

"roll!"

Mascherano touched the back of his head and explained to Riquelme apologetically, and wanted to reach out to Lariquelme.

As a result, Riquelme didn't shake him at all, and opened Mascherano's hand with a slap.

"beep!"

The referee who had whistled Mascherano for a foul happened to see Riquelme's actions and immediately showed him a yellow card.

"Fx"

Riquelme was going crazy. He was kicked and got a yellow card instead.

Is there any king law?
Is there any reason?
Just as he was about to blurt out an international greeting, the referee was staring at him with his hands in his pockets.

Fortunately, Riquelme's mind is still clear, remembering that he already has a yellow card, so he swallowed the second half of a word abruptly.

When the referee walked away, Riquelme asked Mascherano with a black face: "Are all your Crystal Palace players so shameless?"

"Hey, the main thing is that the boss taught well."

The talent of South American players is beyond doubt, but compared with European players, their tactical discipline is not good enough, and they are seriously affected by emotions.

Since being plotted by Mascherano, Riquelme's performance has been seriously affected.He was obsessed with one-on-one contests with Mascherano, but put aside the matter of organizing offenses.

Pellegrini on the sidelines also noticed Riquelme's abnormality. Taking advantage of a dead ball, he deliberately called Riquelme to the sidelines.

"Juan, don't keep competing with that Mascherano. It's more important to organize the offense."

"I see."

Riquelme agreed casually, without even looking at Pellegrini, turned around and ran back to the field.

Pellegrini's face turned black with anger, what kind of attitude is this special?Lao Tzu is the head coach!
But thinking that the team's current offense must rely on Riquelme, Pellegrini decided to endure this tone first and settle the score later.

After Riquelme was handled by Mascherano, Villarreal's offense was largely abolished.

This time, the Crystal Palace had no worries, and the offensive immediately crushed Villarreal.

After stealing the ball from Figueroa, Fabregas immediately passed it from the back to Toni.

"Chris!"

Tony didn't stop the ball, leaned on Villarreal central defender Alvarez who was following him, shouted Ronaldo's name, shook his head directly, and ferried the ball to the left.

Cristiano Ronaldo understood, and when he heard Tony's voice, he started to start, and instantly threw away Villarreal's right back Harvey Venta.

Then with a fancy heel pick, he picked the ball directly from behind to in front of him, without any slowdown, and went straight to Villarreal's penalty area.

At this time, Villarreal's right back Harvey Venta had been left behind by Ronaldo, and right center back Alvarez was also taken out of the penalty area by Tony.

In other words, Villarreal's right half of the penalty area is already empty.

"Gonzalo, go to make up the defense!"

Villarreal's goalkeeper Barbosa hurriedly called out another central defender Gonzalo.

Gonzalo also knew that the situation was not good, so he rushed to the right desperately.

When Ronaldo saw someone coming to make up the defense, he immediately dunked with his left foot, past Gonzalo who was rushing over, and then raised his right foot to shoot.

"boom!"

It's a pity that Ronaldo's shot angle was a bit straight, and Barbosa threw it out, and the ball flew to the other side.

Suddenly, a small man rushed out.

Before Villarreal's left back Allu Abarina made a clearance, he leaped forward and headed the ball towards Villarreal's goal.

At this time, Barbosa just got up from the ground, and before he could make a second save, the ball flew into the net.

"Goal"

It was Ribery, he even scored a header!
Crystal Palace lead Villarreal 1-0.

Ribery, who was also very excited about his header, ran all the way to celebrate, and then was crushed by the Crystal Palace teammates who rushed over.

"Fxxxk! Stop pressing, the shit will come out of you!"

After breaking the deadlock, Chen Ran did not shrink the defense, but continued to maintain the current offensive intensity, and continued to put pressure on Villarreal.

"Boss, we have another Premier League game the day after tomorrow, can we accept it now?"

Guardiola looked at the time, the game has gone to 10 minutes.

"Wait. Villarreal's offensive power is very strong, and our defensive stability has been weakened. I am worried that once the offensive strength drops, Villarreal will seize the opportunity to counterattack."

"However, how much stamina is left to cope with the Premier League the day after tomorrow after playing like this? We have to fly back to London overnight."

"We already have a very good lead in the Premier League and have some room for error. But in the UEFA Cup we have no chance of making mistakes. Let's win the UEFA Cup first."

"understood."

Guardiola nodded helplessly, that's all he could do.

After another 10 minutes, Chen Ran replaced Modric with Pepe.

Using Pepe, Cesc Fabregas and Mascherano to form a three-back midfielder, the entire formation of Crystal Palace began to shrink and played a defensive counterattack.

Even so, Villarreal also seized the opportunity in the last less than 10 minutes, slammed several times, and almost broke the goal of Crystal Palace.

In the end, when the referee blew the final whistle at the end of the game, Crystal Palace relied on Franck Ribery's header to rush to the top and beat Villarreal 1-0 in the away game.

While winning three consecutive UEFA Cup group matches and ranking first in Group E, it also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of 250 million euros.

As soon as the game was over, Chen Ran took the team to London overnight.

No way, the day after tomorrow in the Premier League, Crystal Palace is still an away game.

This schedule is too wicked.

It was already the morning of the second day after arriving in London, Chen Ran did not let the team members go home, but arranged to rest at the hotel.

Players can rest, but Chen Ran can't. He has to prepare for tomorrow's game against Southampton.

Southampton's strength is not strong, and it is also a team that fights for relegation all the year round. It is currently ranked fourth from the bottom in the Premier League.

From this point of view, it is good news for Crystal Palace.

In this summer, Southampton introduced defender Van Damme from Ajax, bought striker Croce from Aston Villa, brought in defender Yassia from Guingamp, and bought defender from Brondby. Jacobson et al.

Chen Ran looked around and found no outstanding players.

So, he decided to test the strength of the Crystal Palace substitutes in this game.

Forward Crouch, Forward Tony
Left Midfielder Evra, Central Midfielder Fabregas, Central Midfielder Yaya Toure, Right Midfielder Alves
Left back Chiellini, center back Thiago Silva, center back Vidic, right back Maicon
goalkeeper cech
It is said that they sent a substitute, but in fact Chen Ran still only rotated in the midfield.In the back line, he didn't dare to move.

When the Southampton manager found out that Crystal Palace had a lot of substitute players in the lineup, he was ecstatic, thinking that he had hope of scoring points from the league leaders.

It's a pity that Chen Ran didn't rotate the defense.

This made Southampton struggle for a long time and found that they could not break through the defense of Crystal Palace.

Also because Chen Ran made a large rotation, the offensive ability of Crystal Palace has declined, so it is still difficult for Crystal Palace to break the deadlock on the field.

In this way, a dull and boring game, it was not until Chen Ran replaced Ronaldo and Ribery in the second half that Tony scored a header.

Crystal Palace defeated Southampton 1-0 in the away game, and won 200 consecutive Premier League victories. At the same time, it also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of [-] million euros.

在本轮的其他英超比赛里，利物浦在安菲尔德2:1力克阿森纳，切尔西在客场4:0大胜查尔顿，而曼联也在客场3:0大胜西布罗姆维奇。

After the No.15 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace topped the standings with 45 consecutive victories and [-] points.

Chelsea has 35 wins, two draws and two losses with [-] points, followed by second place.

Arsenal ranked third with nine wins, three draws and three losses with [-] points.

After returning to London, the exhausted Chen Ran fell asleep.

It wasn't until noon the next day that he was woken up by the little fat man's phone call.

"Chen, there's new news from the private detective."

　There may be more updates at night, and they will be posted as soon as they are written.
