Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 166 Is there still a strong team in the Premier League that can wrestle with Crystal Palace?

On the other side, Chen Ran stood calmly on the sidelines, quietly watching Mourinho and Chelsea players jump up and down.

What happened in Chelsea's penalty area, so far away, he couldn't see clearly at all.

However, in this era without video referees, the authority of the referee is paramount.

This game is the highlight of this round of the Premier League. The FA naturally selected an old referee with strong ability, deep experience, and ability to hold the field to call the penalty.

And this kind of referee is usually very confident (stubborn).Once he has made a penalty, he will never change it.

Sure enough, after about 5 minutes of tossing back and forth, not only did the effective penalty for the goal not change, but two Chelsea players also received yellow cards.

It could be that the fourth official was also annoyed by Mourinho's chatter, and he called the referee to the sidelines and said something with his hand over his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the referee sent the shocked Mourinho directly to the stands.

This time, Chelsea fans will stop doing it.

The referee not only ruled that Crystal Palace's goal was valid, but also drove their coach from the bench to the stands.

The entire Stamford Bridge stadium suddenly sounded deafening boos.

The on-duty referee, as expected of an experienced veteran referee, faced boos all over the court, his expression remained unchanged and his heart skipped a beat.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ran on the sidelines was also in admiration. The referee's psychological quality is absolutely perfect.

A whistle blows and the game continues.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

When Mourinho was sent to the stands and Chelsea's morale was unstable.

With a big wave of his hand, Chen Ran ordered the players of Crystal Palace to continue their onslaught.

Morale is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist.

Chelsea, who had fought against Crystal Palace for most of the game before, is now like a deflated ball, and the whole energy is gone.

Soon, Crystal Palace scored a goal each from Toni and Modric.

In the end, Crystal Palace beat Chelsea 3-0 away.

In this crucial battle for the league championship, he took the lead.

After the game, the players celebrated in the locker room.

But Chen Ran knew that his game was not over yet, so he called Tony and Ronaldo aside.

"Luka, Chris, tell me about the first goal. Was there any foul?"

"Boss, don't worry, there must be no foul. At that time, I was entangled with Chelsea's Terry and Carvalho, and each other made small moves. If these are all fouls, then the game cannot be played."

After all, Tony has rich experience. As a high center forward, he has been in the close pressing and double-teaming of the opponent's defender for a long time.

He has figured out what moves he can do and what moves will be called a foul.

"That's right, boss. At that time, Luka, Terry and Carvalho were close together, and it was normal to have physical confrontation. Even if you watch the video playback, you can't find anything wrong."

Ronaldo also proved to Tony that he did not foul.

Hearing the descriptions of his two generals, Chen Ran felt at ease immediately.

After praising his disciple, he turned and left the locker room.

As expected, when he came to the post-match press conference, he immediately saw pairs of eyes shining red.

The eager reporters stared closely at Chen Ran as if they saw a wolf like a fat sheep.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think of the first goal of this game?"

Nothing new, Chen Ran secretly rolled his eyes when he heard this expected question.

"This goal fully demonstrates Ronaldo's keen sense of goal, and he has the talent to become a top scorer."

"."

Fxxxxk!

Is this the answer we want to hear?
Hearing Chen Ran's answer, the reporters in the audience couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Mourinho believes that the goal was fouled first and the goal should be ruled invalid. What do you think about this?"

Seeing that Chen Ran avoided the important point, another reporter directly pointed the matter out to Chen Ran.

"Did Mr. Mourinho say so?"

Chen Ran confirmed with the reporter who asked the question, and got a positive answer.

"I'm sorry, but I'm a bit far from the Chelsea penalty area. It was packed with people and, frankly, I couldn't see what was going on."

"All I know is that no one fell to the ground and no Crystal Palace players made contact with Chelsea goalkeeper Cudicini, that's all."

"Since I didn't see what happened at the time, I can't make random comments. The position of the referee is closer, and I must know whether there was a foul than me. I believe the judgment of the referee."

"As for Mr. Mourinho saying that the goal was fouled first, but his position is obviously farther away from Chelsea's penalty area than I am. I can't even see what happened at that time. He can see it clearly? Maybe it is Mourinho's eyesight is very good."

Hearing Chen Ran's speech, the reporters in the audience immediately became excited, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Are these two most popular coaches of the new generation going to pinch each other?
"Mr. Chen, are you saying that Mr. Mourinho is lying?"

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and reporters immediately stood up and poured fuel on the small flames.

"Ahem, Mr. reporter, I didn't say that. Maybe Mr. Mourinho's eyesight is better than mine. In short, I believe the referee's judgment is correct."

According to the consistent pissing nature of the English media, it is routine to find trouble and fan the flames.

The controversial penalty in the game between Crystal Palace and Chelsea, as expected, became the headlines of the sports section of the major media the next day.

"Crystal Palace took advantage of a controversial penalty to beat Chelsea 3-0 in a strong fifth round of the Premier League."

"The controversial penalty in this game is likely to determine the title of the Premier League champion this season."

"In a battle between the two strongest teams in the Premier League, the referee is the protagonist."

"After the Chinese took advantage, he even insinuated that Chelsea's Mourinho was lying."

"It is strongly recommended that Mr. Chen Ran and Mr. Mourinho go to the hospital to have their eyesight checked to verify whether Mr. Mourinho is lying. This newspaper is willing to bear all the costs of the check."

Not only the print media, but even the sports programs of major TV stations have not let go of this hot topic.

All programs are repeatedly broadcasting the entire process of this goal.

From different angles, all the details are shown one by one, and many well-known retired players are invited to interpret.

Suddenly, Chen Ran's face frequently appeared on the pages or screens of major media.

Thousands of miles away in China, the Post Bar of the Crystal Palace is also very lively.

"There's nothing wrong with the ball? It's because Cudicini didn't jump up."

"That is, it is clear that Chelsea defender Carvalho blocked Cudicini's jumping position, and has something to do with Crystal Palace?"

"It is estimated that Chelsea thinks that Carvalho was hit by Tony."

"This is pure bullshit. The slow motion makes it very clear. Tony is entangled with Terry. The two are fighting each other, and there is a pulling motion on the hands. If this is all called fouls, then football games are not all penalties. gone?"

"If you ask me, the so-called controversial penalty is nothing more than an excuse for Chelsea to lose."

"It makes sense. Anyway, Crystal Palace has already won. It is enough to get three points and put Chelsea under the pressure."

"Hey, I think that Mourinho has almost become enemies with Chen Ran."

"That's right. Since Shengyu, He Shengliang!"

Although the outside world is still hyping up the topic of controversy and punishment, Chen Ran has already put this matter behind him.

Because, after defeating Chelsea, the system gave him a new reward.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game, a special reward of a first-level Hawkeye guardian card, valid for one game (you can specify it yourself)."

"Eagle Eye Guardian Card? What is this?"

Seeing that the system had released a new gadget, Chen Ran continued to read curiously.

It turns out that this thing can guarantee that Crystal Palace will receive fair and just penalties in a game designated by itself.

This thing is not bad, at least in key games, Crystal Palace does not have to worry about misjudgments and misjudgments.

Although in this game against Chelsea, the referee on duty insisted on his correct penalty.

But under strong pressure, not every referee can do this.

In case Crystal Palace encounters a misjudgment or misjudgment during a crucial game, in this era without video referees, Chen Ran really has nothing to do.

Looking at the "Level [-] Hawkeye Guardian Card" in the system, Chen Ran expressed his satisfaction.

This is like a talisman. Although it doesn't seem to be useful at ordinary times, it may save lives at critical moments.

Chen Ran didn't intend to use the referee's penalty to take advantage of others, but he was absolutely unwilling to be taken advantage of by others.

In other games in the fifth round of the league, Crystal Palace ushered in a series of good news.

Not only did Chelsea lose, Arsenal also lost to Middlesbrough 1:2 away.

Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester City at Old Trafford in the Manchester derby.

And Liverpool were also tied 1:1 away by Tottenham Hotspur.

After the fifth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace dominated the standings with [-] points in five games, followed by Chelsea with [-] points in four wins and one loss.

On September 9, Crystal Palace ushered in the first European Champions Cup game in the century since the team was established at home.

They will be facing last season's Belgian Serie A champion Anderlecht.

For this significant game, many fans of Crystal Palace brought their families and traveled from their residences in south London, across half of the city of London, to the Highbury Stadium in north London, just to witness this historical moment with their own eyes.

Looking at the hustle and bustle of Crystal Palace fans outside the stadium, Chen Ran also felt a heavy responsibility.

Anderlecht, I'm sorry, I need to take your sacrificial flag today.

For this reason, Chen Ran did not hold back the slightest just because of the vile battle against Chelsea.

Not only did he dispatch all the main players, but he also adopted Guardiola's tactics that consumed energy.

There were no accidents during the game. From the first minute, Crystal Palace suppressed Anderlecht in their own half.

In the first half, Crystal Palace was scored by Toni and Ribery respectively.

In the second half, Vieira and Alves were even more icing on the cake, scoring a goal each.

Compared with Chelsea four days ago, Anderlecht's strength is not a little bit worse.

Crystal Palace easily won Anderlecht 4-0 at home without any effort, making a good start for their Champions League road this season.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game, and a special reward for a re-draw card (number of uses: 1)."

"Re-draw card?"

What good thing is this?

Seeing the name, although Chen Ran already had guesses in his heart, he still read it patiently.

"In a game that requires lottery to be grouped, if the host is not satisfied with the result of the lottery, you can draw again (don't worry, the organizer will naturally give a reasonable explanation)."

"Anything like this?"

Chen Ran laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

I have long heard that there are a lot of tricks in the draws of various football matches. Even the draws for the top-level competitions, the Champions League, have been drawn in half, and then voided and re-drawn.

Now it's good, I also have a chance to taste what it's like to be a big boss behind the scenes.

Beautiful!
However, joy begets sorrow.

Chen Ran soon discovered a very serious problem.

That is in the system description, it just said that you can draw lots again, but there is no guarantee that you will be able to draw a good lottery.

It's so meow, I'm so happy.

In the end, it's still up to the face.

Judging from my lottery drawing experience from childhood to adulthood, the possibility of Ouhuang is almost zero.

Forget it, there is finally a chance to change your destiny.

Yes, is better than nothing.

Thousands of miles away in China, Crystal Palace won the first Champions League match, which also aroused heated discussions among fans.

"Haha, a good start, a good sign."

"Yeah, in the first Champions League game since the establishment of the Crystal Palace team in a century, they won a 4:0. I hope to play all the way to the end."

"There are too many strong teams in the Champions League. Sometimes strength alone is not enough. A certain amount of luck is also needed."

"That's right. Especially the lottery. If you get a good lottery, you can go all the way to the finals; if you get a bad lottery, you can meet those strong teams in advance, then it's hard to say."

"Now it seems that there is not a big problem with the Crystal Palace team. I hope to draw a good lottery by then."

"My requirements are not high. At that time, Crystal Palace only needs to avoid Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Juventus."

"I'll go, you are not demanding too much? You are almost finished talking about the strong team."

"I didn't mention those strong teams in the Premier League."

"Is there still a strong team in the Premier League that can wrestle with Crystal Palace?"
