Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 163

Whether it is Zenden or Luis Garcia, both belong to the type with fast speed and good technique, but thin body.

Facing the repeated attacks from Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery at the Crystal Palace, neither of them could hold back.

Not to mention the hexagonal monster Ronaldo, Ribery is also a strong little steel cannon.

As long as there is physical contact between the two sides, it must be Cenden or Luis Garcia who gets bumped.

Zenden on the left was lucky. Behind him, there was a strong and defensive full-back Riise to help.

On the right side of Liverpool, the right back Finnan's own strength is very average.It was only because Carragher, the original right back, switched to playing center back that he got the main position.

Coupled with Ronaldo's outstanding personal ability and the cooperation of Modric, Finnan and Luis Garcia have been repeatedly broken by Ronaldo along the way, and the situation is precarious.

Seeing that the situation on the court was not good, Benitez knew that he could no longer hesitate.

"Dietmar, go warm up!"

Benitez turned and called Hamann from the bench, who was quickly replaced by Luis Garcia.

He replaced Gerrard with Harman as a defensive midfielder, and then moved Gerrard to the right to play the right midfielder.

Although playing a full-back is not Gerrard's good position, but at this time Benitez can only rely on him to help defend Ronaldo.

This adjustment by Benitez has an immediate effect.Although it is still impossible to completely contain Ronaldo's breakthrough, at least it is not as unscrupulous as before.

"It's a quick response."

Chen Ran wasn't surprised to see that Benitez's adjustments had paid off quickly.

After all, he is the coach who can snatch the Champions League from AC Milan, and he didn't expect to beat Liverpool to death with one stick.

"Patrick!"

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Chen Ran called Vieira to the sidelines again.

"Boss, what are your orders?"

"Now Liverpool have strengthened Ronaldo's defense, and later you pass the ball to Ribery on the right. If Liverpool also diverts the defensive attention, you then pass the ball to Ronaldo."

"It's all about moving Liverpool's defense back and forth and waiting for them to make mistakes, understand?"

"Understood, boss, I know what to do."

As the core of Arsenal's midfield for many years, Vieira understood what Chen Ran meant when he spoke.

Soon, the offensive organization of Crystal Palace was transferred from Modric in the midfielder position to Vieira.

Standing in the midfielder position, there is no close press from the opponent's players, Vieira can observe the whole situation on the field more calmly.

For an experienced top player like Vieira, it is clear at a glance whether Liverpool's formation is left or right.

So, according to Chen Ran's instructions, Vieira saw the timing and made precise passes one after another, falling to Ribery's feet one after another.

Once, twice, three times, Benitez, who was extremely alert, immediately discovered that the core of the organization on the Crystal Palace field had changed.

And the team's offensive direction has also changed accordingly.

Could this be the trick of the Chinese man, deliberately attracting himself to shift the focus of defense?
Benitez glanced at Chen Ran in the distance. This guy is full of tricks and he might be fooled.

Benitez, who had suffered a lot, was very cautious and did not make adjustments immediately. He planned to observe again.

Chen Ran, who had been secretly staring at Liverpool's bench, found that Benitez hadn't moved for a long time. Could it be that he didn't notice his tactical adjustment?

Chen Ran thought about it carefully, and with Benitez's ability, he probably didn't miss it.

After all, the other party quickly responded to my last change, and the effect was very good.

Then there is only one explanation, that is, Benitez felt that he was a trap, so he stood still.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran couldn't help admiring Benitez's keen insight.

However, since you don't move, I'll play a fake show and sing it for real.

After making up his mind, Chen Ran immediately looked at Vieira on the field.

At this time, Vieira was also looking at Chen Ran. After all, Liverpool hadn't responded for a long time, so whether he should continue to pass the ball to Franck Ribery on the right required Chen Ran's further instructions.

Without talking, Chen Ran immediately understood what Vieira meant, and he pointed to Ribery's position with his finger.

Vieira also understood, passed the ball one after another, and continued to send it to the right where Ribery shrank.

"Maicon, go up and help!"

Chen Ran felt that Franck Ribery alone might not be powerful enough, so he brought up Maicon again and continued to put pressure on Liverpool's left.

He would like to see if Benitez can still hold his breath.

It would be fine if Ribery was alone, but now that Maicon has joined, and Cenden really can't help, this will exhaust Liverpool's left back Riise.

Before the first half was over, he was already panting.

This time, Benitez also knew that this situation could not continue, otherwise his main left back might not have enough energy before the game was over.

"Harvey!"

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Benitez called Harvey Alonso to the sidelines for arrangement.

Soon, Chen Ran found that Harvey Alonso's position was obviously moving to the left, and he came to help Riise defend the Crystal Palace's offensive.

As soon as Harvey Alonso's position moved, Liverpool's central defense immediately became vacant.At the front of the entire restricted area, only Harman was left guarding it.

"Patrick!"

Seeing the opportunity, Chen Ran immediately called Vieira over.

"Patrick, Liverpool now has an opening in the middle. You inform Luca Jr. that from now on, you will attack directly from the middle. Do you understand?"

"Got it, boss."

After receiving the latest instruction from Chen Ran, Vieira's pass immediately changed, no longer passed to Ribery on the right, but directly to Modric in the midfielder position.

After Modric received the ball, he no longer sought to cooperate with Ronaldo on the wing, but directly dribbled the ball towards Liverpool's neutral space and rushed over.

Liverpool's German midfielder Hamann has a strong frontal defensive ability and also has a good header and long-range shooting skills.But his biggest shortcoming is his slow speed, slow turning and lack of flexibility.

If you let him be responsible for the frontal defense, and then have another player help him defend and fill the position, then the defensive ability of this combination will definitely be fine.

But now that Harvey Alonso has been temporarily transferred to the left, he is the only one left in front of Liverpool's defense.

And Modric, who happens to be a dexterous player, coupled with his excellent skills, passed Harman in three or two strokes, and rushed straight towards Liverpool's penalty area.

"Little Luca, give me the ball!"

Tony, who had been idling in the penalty area for more than half an hour, finally waited for the opportunity to appear, and immediately asked Modric for the ball.

Modric, who had been working together for two years, heard Tony's voice and immediately passed the ball.

Tony leaned on Liverpool's central defender Hyypia, and used his huge body to block his opponent tightly behind him.

Seeing that Modric passed the ball, Tony did not stop the ball, but directly pushed the ball with his arch, and returned the ball to Modric.

At this time, Harman was chasing behind Modric, only one step behind.Hyypia was blocked by Tony, and another Liverpool central defender Carragher was rushing to double-team Tony.

The weight of Tony's return was just right. When the ball rolled in front of Modric, he didn't need to make any adjustments. He tensed his instep and volleyed the ball.

"boom!"

Modric's basic skills are solid, the ball is pressed extremely flat, like a fired shell, drawing a straight line and flying to the upper left corner of Liverpool's goal.

At this moment, whether it was Carragher who wanted to block the hole of the gun, or the goalkeeper Reina who flew to make a save, they were half a step too late.

With a "swipe", the ball went straight into the net.

"GOAL!"

Before the end of the first half, with Tony's assist and Modric's world wave shot, Crystal Palace led Liverpool 1-0 in the away game.

"Pretty!"

Chen Ran on the sidelines swung his fist fiercely, whether it was grabbing the opponent's fleeting gap, Modric's breakthrough, Tony's pick-and-roll assist, or the last world wave shot.

Everything is so perfect!
On the other side of the Liverpool bench, Benitez stood on the sidelines and watched all this happen, shaking his head helplessly.

The entire scoring process only took a minute or two, and he had no chance to react at all.

Looking at the Crystal Palace bench who was celebrating from a distance, Benitez also had to admire Chen Ran's eyes are too poisonous.

Just when Liverpool showed a flaw, they were immediately caught by Crystal Palace.

Benitez also watched Chen Ran's every move on the sidelines.The opponent called Vieira to the sideline several times, which must be arranging a strategy to deal with him.

The most troublesome thing for Benitez now is that according to Chen Ran's tactical style he studied, once this guy takes the lead, he will shrink his formation and play a defensive counterattack in all likelihood.

It is not an easy task to break through the defense of Crystal Palace.

At least in the Premier League, no team has dared to say that it is sure to do this.

Soon, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

During the intermission, what Benitez was most worried about happened.

As expected, Chen Ran arranged the tactics for the Crystal Palace players in the second half, which was defensive counterattack.

Modric's position has once again returned to the midfielder at the beginning of the game.

At the beginning of the second half, I saw Benitez, who really shrunk the defense of Crystal Palace, and my heart immediately became cold.

But at this time, he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and attack.

As the second half progressed, Chen Ran replaced Modric and Simeone with Yaya Toure and Mascherano.

Coupled with Vieira, three powerful midfielders sit in the midfield, completely blocking Liverpool's hope of scoring goals.

In the end, with Modric's goal in the first half, Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 1-0 in the away game and won the first two consecutive league victories.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game and discovering a teenager with football talent."

"???"

What does it mean?
Chen Ran didn't understand what the system meant for a while.

Looking further down, it turned out that Crystal Palace discovered a football genius during the youth training selection activities carried out in Huaguo.

And this discovery is the system's reward for Crystal Palace's victory over Liverpool.

Is that okay?

Chen Ran was also aroused by the system, and then called up the young player's profile to take a closer look.

Name: Li Jinnian
Age: 10 years old

Potential (PA): 161
Competency (CA): Vacant
Location: TBD

Although it is vacant and pending, it is a bit disappointing.

But the only displayed potential value made Chen Ran suddenly excited.

PA value and CA value, those are the usual terms in football manager games.

One represents the height that may be reached in the future, and the other represents the current ability.

The PA value can reach 161, although it is not the top group, but for Huaguo players, this is already an unattainable value.

After returning to the hotel after the game, Chen Ran immediately called Tuchel who was still in Huaguo to preside over the youth training selection.

"Thomas, how are you doing? Is work going well?"

Now that Chen Ran has figured out Tuchel's temper, just tell him if you have something to say, don't go around with him, or you will be pissed off by him.

"It's not bad. I didn't expect that Huaguo still has children suitable for playing football."

What is this called?

What do you mean I didn't expect that there were still children suitable for playing football in Huaguo?
How much Tuchel looked down on Huaguo football.

Chen Ran almost twisted his nose in anger.

Huaguo has a population of more than one billion, so it is impossible that there are no talents suitable for playing football.

I dare not say too much, but it is not a problem to pick out one or twenty to form a football team.

The reason why it hasn't been discovered until now is because the youth training has been neglected all the time, and those geniuses have been buried.

Although Tuchel's words can choke people to death, as long as he can handle the selection of youth training well, Chen Ran said that this is not a problem.

You can tell from the sound that Tuchel is in a good mood. It seems that he is quite satisfied with the results of this selection.

"Thomas, have you discovered any genius?"

Chen Ran didn't mention Li Jinnian directly, but asked tentatively.

"Yes, so far, I have discovered a ten-year-old named 'Li Jinnian' who is very talented. Even in Germany, he is still a football talent that will be competed for by major clubs."

"So exaggerated?"

Chen Ran couldn't believe his ears. Tuchel rarely praised people.

"Boss, I'm not exaggerating at all, I trust my eyes."

"Haha, Thomas, I also trust your eyes. Since you are so optimistic about this child, then keep him."

"Okay boss, that's exactly what I want to do."

"Well, Thomas, then you have to work harder and pick out a few more talents like this. I look forward to your good news."
