Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 189 If there is any problem, just do a urine test to find out
Franck Ribery, who took the corner kick, kept Chen Ran's instructions in mind, don't serve the ball low, and the arc of the ball should be higher.

Chen Ran has placed so many big men in Crystal Palace, it's a pity not to make good use of his height advantage.

As soon as the ball left the corner flag area, Juventus' penalty area immediately became a mess.

Jan Kohler stood in the small penalty area, firmly suppressing Buffon so that he did not dare to attack;
Ronaldo was at the forefront, followed by Chiellini, Vidic was at the end, and the three began to rush forward from the back point in stages.

The rest of Tony and Vieira stayed behind and played hide-and-seek with Juventus' defensive players.One of them is close to the small penalty area line, and the other is close to the large penalty area line, waiting for an opportunity.

At this time, as soon as the players of Crystal Palace moved, the Juventus players who were in charge of marking them also moved immediately.

With so many people running at the same time, the chaos in the scene can be imagined.

Because Franck Ribery kept Chen Ran's explanation in mind and adjusted the arc of the ball very high, Ronaldo, who rushed to the front and was in charge of grabbing the first point, still missed the ball even though he jumped very high.

Chiellini, who followed him, didn't hit it either. Fortunately, Vidic, who was following behind him, finally grabbed the spot. A lion shook his head and smashed the ball hard into Juventus's goal. goal.

Buffon's reaction was extremely quick, and he flew sideways to block the ball.

Jan Kohler, who has been nailed in the small penalty area, saw the opportunity and immediately wanted to stretch his foot for a supplementary shot.

It's a pity that his figure is too tall, and his movement frequency is naturally slow.

Before Jan Kohler's foot touched the ball, Thuram, who was in charge of marking him, took the lead to clear the ball out of the penalty area.

However, in order to fight for time to clear the siege, Thuram couldn't do the right thing.

This caused his foot to touch the ball not very well, and he couldn't fully exert his strength.

The ball was cleared out of the penalty area, but it did not kick far.

At this time, according to Chen Ran's deployment, Simeone, who had been guarding outside the arc of the Juventus penalty area, finally got his chance.

He immediately ran towards the direction where the ball was flying, intending to volley directly.

At the same time, Emerson, who was also arranged by Capello to protect the arc of the penalty area, also discovered Simeone's intentions and rushed over to stop Simeone's shot.

It is different if the chicken blood card is used. According to the normal situation, Simeone, whose speed has dropped severely, will definitely be overtaken by Emerson, and the ball will definitely be destroyed by Emerson.

But today's Simeone is Simeone at his peak.

Speed, technology, consciousness, body, physical fitness and other aspects are the brightest moments of Simeone's life.

At the age of 36, he insisted on being in place ahead of Emerson.

Without making any adjustments, before the ball hits the ground, he mustered all his strength to meet the ball and shot with anger.

Due to too much force, the ball has even been slightly deformed, and the trajectory of the flight does not have any arc, it just hits the upper left corner of the Juventus goal in a straight line.

At this time, Buffon, who had just made a save, was still near the right post of the goal.

Seeing Simeone's shot, before moving his feet in time, Buffon kicked the turf hard and flew towards the upper left corner of the goal.

If Buffon's previous position was in the center of the goal, then he would definitely be able to save the ball.

But he was already near the right post just now, the distance was too far, and it was useless for him to react quickly at this time, and Buffon could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the goal from in front of his fingertips.

"GOAL!"

Crystal Palace lead Juventus 1-0 at home.

The entire Highbury Stadium suddenly became a sea of ​​joy.

Simeone was as happy as a child, ran a few steps towards the corner flag area, jumped up and slid on the ground.

Before he got up, he was crushed by the Crystal Palace players who came to celebrate, and they started to play arhat one by one.

"Boss, Diego scored, Diego scored!"

Seeing Simeone's goal, Guardiola was more excited than his own goal, and rushed over from the bench to give Chen Ran a high-five.

Chen Ran on the sidelines was also very happy, but what he thought was that he must find a way to get more of this "level one chicken blood card".

Temeow's effect is too strong, even if it has to pay the price of playing like shit for the next three games.

Especially for these veterans, their skills and consciousness are fine, but their physical functions are not good, and the "first-level chicken blood card" is just right for them.

As long as these veterans are not allowed to play the main force every game, use this veteran today and use that veteran tomorrow.

Playing one game as the main force and playing three games as a substitute can not only maximize the power of the "first-level chicken blood card", but also effectively alleviate the negative effects of the card. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
Thinking of this, Chen Ran quickly stopped his divergent thinking.

The game against Juventus is not over yet, now is not the time to think about it.

At this point, the first half of the game is not over yet.Although Crystal Palace has achieved a one-goal lead, but on Juventus' side, Capello does not seem to have any plans to make adjustments.

At this time, Guardiola also joined Chen Ran.

"Boss, are we going to shrink the lineup and fight back?"

According to Guardiola's understanding of Chen Ran, after Crystal Palace took the lead, Chen Ran usually changed his defense.

"No, this game is not an ordinary game. This is the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals. We not only want to win, but also strive to get more goal difference."

"And Diego is in a very good state today. With him and Patrick sitting in the midfield, he can both attack and defend, and he is not at a loss against Juventus. It is a pity to retreat and play defensive counterattacks now."

"Yeah, Diego's form today is really good. I think today is the best game of his career."

After the re-kick-off, the two teams still played back and forth, which was extremely intense.

But until the end of the first half, neither side scored again.

"I didn't expect that. The current Crystal Palace has been able to play against the old strong team Juventus without losing the wind."

This highlight of the UEFA Champions League naturally attracted many reporters to watch the match.As soon as the first half ended, the performance of the two teams immediately aroused heated discussions among reporters.

"Yeah, when Crystal Palace played against AC Milan, they were still the side that was suppressed, and they have improved so fast."

"I think it's mainly because Simeone's excellent form today, coupled with Vieira's cooperation, has completely supported the midfield of Crystal Palace, so that he can compete with Juventus."

"It makes sense. What happened to Simeone today? Was he as good as before? He can be seen both offensively and defensively. This is an all-around fighter."

"This Simeone can only be said to be pretty good before, but he is almost 36 years old this year. I didn't expect that he will have a second spring today."

"He didn't eat something, did he? Otherwise, how could he suddenly become so powerful."

"Ahem, be careful, you can't talk about this kind of thing without evidence."

"Hehe, if there is a problem, you will know if you do a urine test after the game."

During the half-time break, the Crystal Palace dressing room was full of laughter and laughter.

Everyone once again congratulated Simeone on his goal. After all, as a defensive midfielder, Simeone has not scored for a long time.

Chen Ran did not stop this lively scene, the mood of the players also had an important impact on the game.

"Diego, you played really well today. How are you? Tired now? Do you need a break?"

Finally, Chen Ran himself went over to congratulate Simeone.

"It's okay, boss, I'm not tired at all. I'm in better shape today than ever. Really, I have a feeling that today may be the best game of my life."

Although he ran all over the field for half the game, Simeone didn't feel tired at all, which made him feel incredible.

"Okay, guys, you all played very well in the first half of the game. However, you must all know the strength of Juventus. Any small mistake may be seized by them to score a goal."

Seeing that the players had calmed down, Chen Ran took advantage of the situation and began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

"This game is the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals. We not only need to win, but also get more goal difference. At the same time, we can't let Juventus get away goals. Otherwise we would be very passive."

"So, everyone can't relax at all in the second half of the game. You have to run and fight like you did in the first half, and let Juventus go back to Turin empty-handed. Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

The sonorous and forceful answer resounded throughout the Crystal Palace locker room.

Seeing the eyes of the team members full of fighting spirit, Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction.Then take Guardiola and start to remind every player that they made some mistakes in the first half and what they need to pay attention to in the second half of the game.

At half-time, neither Crystal Palace nor Juventus made any substitutions.

After the start of the second half, the two teams fought fiercely again, and the offensive was higher and higher, depending on whose defense line could not hold up first.

Simeone still continued his excellent performance in the first half.

In an attack by Juventus, Camoranesi on the right passed an inverted triangle after going down the bottom.

The experienced Simeone intercepted the ball before Emerson.Then, before Gianni Keida came up to press, he made a shovel pass and stabbed the ball to Vieira not far away.

Vieira had already observed the position of the pass, and there was no pause after receiving the ball. A through pass of more than 20 meters sent the ball to Ronaldo on the left.

At this time, Juventus' right forward Camoranesi was still near the bottom line of Crystal Palace, and Ronaldo was unmarked.

Such a good opportunity, how could Ronaldo let it go.

He immediately took the ball, drove straight in, and ran wildly with the ball.

And Juventus was still in an offensive position just now, but now it will immediately switch to a defensive state.

At the moment of transition from offense to defense, many Juventus players were not in their positions, which caused Juventus' defense to be full of loopholes.

"Jonathan, go up and block that No. 7 from Crystal Palace!"

It was Buffon again. After realizing that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered right back Zebina to block Ronaldo.

Zebina also knew that Ronaldo could not continue to move forward with the ball, so he rushed forward, intending to stop Crystal Palace's attack even if he paid the price of a card.

This time, Ronaldo did not choose to be extraordinary because he found a better choice.

At this time, Franck Ribery on the right side of the Crystal Palace is also plugging in at high speed.

And Juventus's left-back Zambrotta also invested in the attack just now, and is now desperately rushing back from the frontcourt.

Between Ronaldo and Ribéry, there was a brief space without any Juventus players.

C Roma broke his right foot and sent a through pass with the instep.

The ball was delivered to Franck Ribery accurately. At this time, Franck Ribery had already rushed into the Juventus penalty area, forming a single-handed fight.

Seeing this situation, Buffon quickly abandoned the goal and rushed to block the angle of Ribery's shot.

When Ribery saw Buffon rushing over, he didn't force a shot. He took the ball out and planned to pass Buffon before hitting an empty goal.

However, Ribery's force was a bit strong, which made his shot angle, which was not that big, suddenly smaller.

Too late to be annoyed, Ribery had no choice but to give up his plan to shoot, and quickly passed the ball to the middle before Buffon returned to his position.

At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo, who just sent a through pass to Ribery, has also bypassed Zebina and rushed into Juventus' penalty area.

Seeing Ribery pass the ball over, Ronaldo found himself still a step behind.

The shooter's instinct made him kick the turf hard immediately, leap forward and dive to the top, will reach the ball, and head the ball into the Juventus goal.

"GOAL!"

Crystal Palace lead Juventus 2-0 at home.

Highbury Stadium, once again turned into a sea of ​​joy.

Cheers resounded through the sky!

Chen Ran on the sidelines cheered excitedly, and was immediately embraced by the excited Guardiola and others.

Got two goal difference in the first round, if you can prevent Juventus from getting away goals, it will be perfect.

While Chen Ran was thinking about the results of this game, there was movement on the Juventus bench.

"Boss, Juventus seems to be making a substitution."

One of the tasks that Chen Ran entrusts to Guardiola is to keep an eye on the opponent's bench and the head coach at all times during the game.Once there is any movement, you must immediately notify yourself.

After being reminded by Guardiola, Chen Ran immediately looked towards the Juventus bench.

I saw Capello called Del Piero from the bench, which is obviously to strengthen the attack.

I just don't know if Capello intends to replace Ibrahimovic or Trezeguet with Del Piero.

Conservative Capello, isn't he planning to play as a three-forward?
