Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 169 The focus of the entire European football circle
Chen Ran's current thinking is also very pragmatic. First defend his own defense line, and then hand over the offense to Tony, Jan Kohler, Ronaldo and Ribery.

It is naturally best to be able to score goals. If it is really not possible, he can accept the result of a draw.

After all, it is not an easy task for any team to be able to score points at the San Siro Stadium.

Moreover, Ancelotti's vigilance was too high. As soon as he made a move on his side, he immediately responded.

Obviously, it seems impossible to find his loopholes now.

On the field, although Ancelotti did not arrange a special winger, after Ambrosini came on the field, he and Gattuso took care of the defense of the two sides.

Coupled with Maldini and Cafu, two old monsters who have become fine, although they are too old to keep up with their speed, their defensive experience largely makes up for this shortcoming.

Like Ronaldo, in the face of Cafu's defense, it often happens that after making a few fake moves, Cafu is unmoved and doesn't follow him at all.

Coupled with Gattuso's side defense, Ronaldo's breakthrough on the side was far less smooth than before.

The same situation also happened to Ribery on the right.Maldini and Ambrosini also kept him scratching his head.

And because of the scruples about Kaka, Shevchenko and Inzaghi's counterattack ability, Chen Ran did not dare to let his two full-backs Chiellini and Maicon press for assists.

As a result, Crystal Palace's twin towers, Tony and Jan Kohler, did not receive enough crosses in the AC Milan penalty area, let alone a goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery's wing breakthroughs have always been Crystal Palace's most effective means of attack.

Being so restricted by the opponent, this is the first time this has happened.

Chen Ran on the sidelines frowned, he had to come up with a way to break the game as soon as possible.Otherwise, other teams will learn from AC Milan in the future, so how can Crystal Palace win?

The quick wit made Chen Ran come up with a solution.

It's just that this method has never been used, so I don't know how it works.

No matter, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"Little Luca!"

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

"Now that the opponents are staring at Ronaldo and Ribery, you should stop passing the ball wide. From now on, you will pass from the midfielder directly to the heads of Tony and Jan Kohler."

"However, boss, even if Tony and Jan Koller win this kind of straight pass, it will be difficult to form a shot."

Modric looked at Chen Ran in puzzlement. As a boss, he was always resourceful, and the adjustments he made often had immediate results. Why didn't he even remember this kind of common sense this time?

"Listen to me, what's the rush?"

Chen Ran glared at Modric, then said:

"I know it's difficult to form a shot, and I didn't ask them to shoot directly."

"You tell them, don't stop the ball after winning the ball, just head the ball. Then let Ronaldo and Ribery both rush into the penalty area, and both go to the second place to shoot."

"In this way, whether Tony or Jan Kohler wins the ball, we will have three people to grab the second spot. The possibility of creating a shot will be greatly increased, understand?"

"I see, boss, I understand."

Soon, Ancelotti saw a dumbfounded scene.

Crystal Palace's midfielder Modric, who was responsible for organizing the offense, no longer passed the ball to the wing, but passed the ball straight up and down into AC Milan's penalty area.

What is this doing?
The Hua people don't know the difficulty. In this case, even if the forward wins the ball, it is difficult to form a shot?

This is common sense that anyone who knows a little bit about football knows, right?
Ancelotti watched what was happening on the field in bewilderment.

Even for him, a seasoned veteran, this was the first time he saw someone playing like this.

See you soon.

At this time, Tony, who had already received Chen Ran's latest instructions, although he couldn't understand why Chen Ran did this.

However, Chen Ran's long-term command adjustments often have miraculous effects, which makes players like Tony have a blind worship of Chen Ran.

I don't understand the boss's order, but because my level is not enough, I still follow the boss's request first.

So, Tony struggled to grab the ball's landing point, but Nesta, who was pressing close to him, made him unable to make any adjustments.

Tony kept in mind Chen Ran's instruction not to stop the ball, a lion shook his head, and then pushed the ball towards Jan Kohler's position.

And on Jan Kohler's body, there was also a burly Hanstam hanging on him at this time.

Not to mention shooting, I can't even jump up.

In desperation, Jan Kohler had no choice but to direct the ball in Tony's direction again.

This time, not only Stam and Nesta were dumbfounded, but even Tony was stunned for a moment.

I said in my heart, big brother, I gave you the header and wanted you to hit the goal, why did you push it back again?
What's more, your ball has a high angle and great strength. How can I grab it? I don't have your height of more than two meters.

However, no matter what, we still have to try our best to fight for this ball.

Tony tried his best to jump again, but he didn't jump up. It turned out that Nesta, who was close to him, also learned from Stam, and his whole body was hung on Tony.

I'm not as tall as you, and my header skills are not as good as yours, so neither of us can even try to jump.

So, the two could only watch the ball fly over their heads.

At this time, a figure rushed in from outside the penalty area, and the old Cafu was gritting his teeth and chasing after him desperately.

That's right, it's Ronaldo on the left.

According to Chen Ran's arrangement, the two full-backs had to enter the penalty area to grab the second shot.

Originally, the second point of the ball was Jan Kohler, but Jan Kohler was too entangled by Stam to shoot.

However, he saw Ronaldo who was running towards the penalty area behind Tony.

So, Jan Kohler took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball behind Tony.

In terms of defensive experience, Cafu has nothing to say.

But to compete with Ronaldo for speed, the 35-year-old Cafu really has no choice.

After throwing off Cafu, Ronaldo saw the ball flying towards him, and before the ball landed, he flew up and made a diving jump to the top.

"boom!"

The ball, which was solidly topped by Ronaldo, flew straight to the near corner of AC Milan's goal like a shooting star.

AC Milan's goalkeeper Dida hurriedly tapped one foot on the ground and threw himself sideways. Unfortunately, he was half a beat too late, and the ball flew into the goal from his fingertips.

"GOAL!"

First, Tony diverted the header to Jan Kohler, then Jan Kohler diverted the header to Ronaldo, and finally Ronaldo completed a wonderful diving shot.

During the whole process, all work at high altitude with the header, no feet at all.

With this beautiful header, Crystal Palace led AC Milan 1-0 in the away game.

Fuck, I didn't expect my brainstorm to really work.

Chen Ran on the sidelines hugged his assistants excitedly to celebrate. He also had a whim, and he had a mentality of trying it out. Who knew he really scored a goal.

It is estimated that Ancelotti and AC Milan players have never seen this style of play, and they are a little at a loss.

Indeed, even though the ball has already entered their own goal, Ancelotti and AC Milan's players are still a little at a loss.

This meow can also score goals?

Where did the Crystal Palace learn this wild routine?
In the football education that I have received since I was a child, no one has ever taught it like this.

Chen Ran didn't care what the AC Milan players thought, after taking the lead, his "utilitarian" coaching style was once again reflected.

"Havel!"

While the players were still celebrating, he called Mascherano to his side.

"After you play for a while, play three midfielders with Patrick and Luka Jr. Tell others, our tactics, change back to defensive counterattack again. Understand?"

"Okay, boss."

Soon, Ancelotti saw that Chen Ran replaced the striker Tony with Mascherano, and the Crystal Palace's formation retracted to its own half, and once again put on the stance of the first half that was devoted to defense.

"Fxxxk!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, Ancelotti was also so angry that he swears.

Tassotti is right, the coaching style of the Chinese is indeed very "utilitarian".

Crystal Palace has already completed the substitution and tactical switch before I have changed players to strengthen the attack. This is obviously a plan that has been arranged long ago.

Angry is angry, but what should be done is still to be done.

Ancelotti quickly replaced Gattuso with Rui Costa and ordered the players to press forward.

He can accept a draw, but absolutely cannot accept losing at home to Champions League rookie Crystal Palace.

With Ancelotti's substitution, the situation on the court seems to have returned to the beginning of the game.

Crystal Palace set up a bus in their own half. Except for Jan Kohler, even Ronaldo and Ribery were recovered in front of the two full-backs for protection.

Fortunately, there is not much time left in the game. Adding stoppage time, the full play is only 10 minutes.

At this time, Chen Ran who was standing on the sidelines couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

He kept looking down at his watch, time went so slowly.

The opportunity to defeat the top giants AC Milan is in sight. As long as they can survive these 10 minutes, the first place in the group is likely to fall to Crystal Palace.

If you can get the first place in the group, then the knockout round after Crystal Palace is likely to avoid those strong teams.

In just a moment, Chen Ran thought a lot.

He has done everything he can do, and the rest depends on whether the Crystal Palace players can withstand it.

85 minutes, nine 10 minutes, 95 minutes
After making up 5 minutes, the referee on duty finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The players of Crystal Palace finally withstood AC Milan's final mad attack and kept the score of 1:0 to the end.

"call!"

Heaving a sigh of relief, Chen Ran felt more tired than fighting with Cheryl.

No wonder people who are head coaches age quickly. This kind of game command is too much, which is too detrimental.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the competition and being eligible to participate in the 'Wealthy Family Qualification Certification' event. Will the host participate in this event?"

"What is 'wealthy qualification certification'?"

"After the host's club passes the 'wealthy qualification certification', it will have a rich aura, and its attractiveness will greatly increase in terms of players, fans, sponsors, etc."

"Do you want Crystal Palace to have fans all over the world? Do you want sponsors to take the initiative to come to your door with a lot of money? Do you want excellent players to have a 'Crystal Dream'? As long as you get the 'rich club qualification', everything here have."

Is this an advertisement?Chen Ran was speechless for a while.

But it sounds really tempting.

"Then what are the conditions for passing the 'wealthy qualification certification'?"

"The necessary conditions are to win the European Champions Cup once, and the number of top league titles should not be less than ten."

I'm going, this condition is too harsh.

Seeing the system's news, Chen Ran was also speechless.

The championship of the Champions Cup is still easy to handle, as long as you get it once.

However, the league title is required to be won ten times. Even if Crystal Palace wins the Premier League title every year, it will have to wait until nine years before they can pass this "rich club qualification certification".

"System, is the number of top league championships required too much?"

"The host can use intercontinental competition championship deduction. A European Champions Cup champion can deduct three league championships, a UEFA Cup champion can deduct two league championships, and a Club World Cup champion can deduct one league championship."

That's about it.

Chen Ran did some calculations in his mind. If it goes well, he will be able to pass this "rich family qualification certification" in about three years.

"Remind the host that this 'rich family qualification' is not permanent."

"After passing the 'rich club qualification certification', if the host club does not win the top league or intercontinental championship within five years, the 'rich club qualification' will be cancelled."

"If you don't win the intercontinental championship within ten years, the 'rich club qualification' will also be cancelled."

"The intercontinental competition is temporarily limited to three events: the European Champions Cup, the UEFA Cup and the Club World Cup."

Seeing the conditions and requirements one by one made Chen Ran's scalp tingle.

This "rich family qualification" is so troublesome?
Not only is it not easy to get it, but if the grades are regressed after getting it, it may be cancelled.

Is this a KPI assessment?
Although there were a lot of complaints, Chen Ran still did not resist the temptation to get the "rich family qualification", and finally chose to participate in the "rich family qualification certification".

Because it is a Champions League game, after Crystal Palace upset the favorite AC Milan, it was not only a large-scale report by the English media.

The Italian media, even the Spanish media, the German media, and the French media have reported the results of the game.

This time, Chen Ran and his Crystal Palace are not only popular in England.

His popularity in countries such as Italy, Spain, Germany, and France is also rising rapidly.

Suddenly, Chen Ran and his Crystal Palace became the focus of the entire European football circle.
