Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 196 Although the routine is old, it just works
"cough cough"

Hearing Ronaldo's worry, Chen Ran almost choked to death on his own saliva.

Was this child limped by himself?

Thinking of this, Chen Ran glanced at Ronaldo worriedly.

A future football superstar will not be turned into a fool by himself.

It seems that when you train Ronaldo in the future, you should take it easy and not use too much force.

"It's okay. Chris, you can play the game with confidence. As for the ups and downs of the state, I will help you watch it. Even if you have a downturn in your state again, I have a way to make you adjust within three games."

"Really? Great, thank you boss."

Looking at Ronaldo who was relieved and leaving happily, Chen Ran also wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Chris, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to fool you."

Although Chen Ran felt a little guilty about Ronaldo's matter, his attention was immediately attracted by the system's notification sound.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game, and I will be rewarded with a 'Level [-] Accurate Card'."

Although the "Level [-] Accurate Heart Card" was not the cards that Chen Ran wanted the most, but when used in conjunction with the "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card", the effect was pretty good.

On the second day after the match against Blackburn, Chen Ran flew to Madrid, the Spanish capital, with the entire Crystal Palace team.

Facing the Galaxy Battleship, it is very necessary to go there early to prepare for the battle.

According to the usual practice, every time he encounters a strong opponent, Chen Ran will specifically ask Guardiola to edit the opponent's game video, and this time is no exception.

Looking at the stars of Real Madrid in the video, everyone's face is very solemn.

Forwards: Ronaldo, Raul, Robinho, Cassano, Soldado, Negredo.

Midfielders: Zidane, Beckham, Guti, Baptista, Gravesen, Pablo Garcia, Bravo, De La Red, Xavi Garcia, etc.

Defenders: Roberto Carlos, Ramos, Elger LS Elgado, Woodgate, Cicinho, Pavon, Diogo, Messia, Arbeloa and more.

Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas, Diego Lopez, Cordina and more.

"Let's talk about it, how should we play this game?"

After watching the video, Chen Ran slapped his hands to attract the attention of Guardiola and the three of them.

Still the same, Guardiola was pushed out to speak first.

"Boss, there is no doubt that Real Madrid is very strong, especially their main players, many of whom are top stars."

"However, they also have some fatal problems. As far as I know, there are serious gangs in Real Madrid, especially the Brazilian gang and the local faction. They are not united with each other."

"There were even rumors that Ronaldo and Guti had a big fight in the dressing room."

"Really? Ronaldo and Guti really fought?"

Before Guardiola finished speaking, Southgate couldn't help asking curiously.

"It should be true. As you know, the dressing room at Real Madrid is like a house full of gaps, everything leaks out."

Guardiola satisfied Southgate's curiosity, and then said:

"Another point is that the big stars of Real Madrid are all old. Both their competitive state and physical condition have begun to decline."

"And most of our Crystal Palace players are very young, at least they have a certain advantage in terms of physical fitness."

"So as long as we don't let Real Madrid start scoring goals, the longer the game goes on, the better for us."

"That's right, boss, what Josep said is very reasonable. In this game, we might as well adopt defensive counterattack tactics and delay the game until 10 minutes into the second half before launching a general attack. Maybe it will have a miraculous effect."

Simeone, an enthusiastic supporter of defensive counterattack tactics, immediately stood up to support Guardiola's suggestion.

After hearing what the other two said, Southgate also felt that it made sense, and he also stood up to express his support.

Waiting for change?
It's also a good way.

After all, the Crystal Palace players are very familiar with the tactics of defensive counterattack, and Chen Ran is also very confident in using them.

So, after discussing with his assistants, Chen Ran sent out a defensive starting lineup.

On the Real Madrid side, the current head coach Carlo was originally the head coach of the Real Madrid youth team.

He succeeded Luxenberg who was fired and was temporarily promoted from the youth team to the first team as the head coach.

Regardless of qualifications or ability, Carlo obviously does not have the conditions to convince the superstars in the Real Madrid team.

And Carlo is also self-aware. Since he took office, he has always adopted the method of building a good relationship with these big guys in the team.

I made these big guys happy. The big guys still showed face and worked harder during the game. Although the results could not be compared with Barcelona, ​​which was in good condition, they were able to stabilize the situation and did not plunge Real Madrid into greater chaos. among.

In this Champions League semi-final match against Crystal Palace, Carlo still formed his favorite 4141 formation.

When Chen Ran saw Real Madrid's starting roster, he suddenly found that Raul was placed on the bench.

"Josep, what do you think of Real Madrid's starting lineup?"

Chen Ran turned to look at Guardiola beside him and asked.

"The offense is strong and the defense is weak, this is my first impression."

Guardiola's answer was straightforward.

"That's right, it seems that Real Madrid wants to launch a fierce attack at the beginning of the game, so as to score goals as soon as possible. It seems that their coach Carlo is also a sensible person, and he is very clear about the problems existing in his team."

"Don't worry, the boss, anyway, we have already made all preparations. Defensive counterattack is our housekeeping skill of Crystal Palace, but it is not so easy for Real Madrid to break through our defense."

"Then look at Real Madrid's spears are sharper and our Crystal Palace shields are stronger."

Sure enough, as Chen Ran expected, as soon as the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Real Madrid launched a surging offensive.

After the kick-off, Ronaldo directly passed the ball back to Gravesen in the midfielder position.

Then, like other Real Madrid players, he turned around and rushed towards the Crystal Palace half.

Gravesen stopped the ball with his left foot, looked up, and kicked the ball directly to Beckham on the right with a long pass with his right foot.

The pass was well-placed and Beckham unloaded it with a lift of his right foot near the touchline.

Before Chiellini stepped forward to press, he directly sent the ball into the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace with an iconic Belle arc.

At this time, Ronaldo, Guti, Zidane and others had all entered the penalty area of ​​the Crystal Palace, forming a three-point outflanking situation in an instant.

Fortunately, Chen Ran deployed three defensive midfielders in front of the back line, two black and tough and one ruthless character.

After discovering that the situation was wrong, Vieira and Yaya Toure have hurried back to their own penalty area to help Southgate and Vidic compete, except that Simeone stayed near the arc of the penalty area to prevent the opponent from taking a long shot. Grab the header.

Although Beckham's cross is very accurate, neither Ronaldo nor Guti and Zidane are serious centers, and fighting for headers is not their forte.

So the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Yaya Toure without any risk, and Simeone immediately rushed to the second spot to destroy the ball out of the sideline.

After a few rounds, the players of Crystal Palace have gradually adapted to the game rhythm of the superstars of Real Madrid.

Even in the face of the rare double midfielder configuration of Zidane and Guti, they are not in a mess.

On the two wings, Robinho, who is known for his quickness and agility, met the Brazilian fellow Maicon, who was also not slow and physically stronger, and did not take advantage of it at all.

On the other side, Beckham is known for his precision in crossing, and breaking through is not his specialty.And this happened to suit the appetite of Crystal Palace left-back Chiellini, and he was handy in defense.

So, after nearly half an hour of onslaught from the first minute of the game, Real Madrid still failed to break through the Crystal Palace goal guarded by Petr Cech.

At this time, the physical fitness of Real Madrid's big-name players began to enter the first bottleneck period. Even though Carlo kept waving on the sidelines to signal to continue the attack, the offensive on the field inevitably relaxed.

"Boss, we have survived this wave of Real Madrid's opening offensive, and the rest of the game will be easy to play."

Guardiola walked up to Chen Ran and sighed.

Guardiola, who was born in Barcelona and has played in La Liga for a long time, is very familiar with this Real Madrid team.

These superstars on the field are now playing football in one breath. It would be good if they can win their opponents in one go.If you can't take down your opponent, it won't be that easy if you want to bring it up again after you relax.

Chen Ran nodded. Crystal Palace's defensive ability has once again withstood the test.

Sure enough, in the remaining game time, although Real Madrid was still attacking, it was completely unable to compare with the first half hour in terms of strength and frequency.

Until the end of the first half, the score remained unchanged at 0:0.

Intermission, Crystal Palace dressing room.

"Guys, you performed very well in the first half. Real Madrid has so many top stars and failed to break through our defense. I am proud of you!"

"In the second half, everyone grit their teeth and persevere. As long as we defend until 10 minutes, it's time for us to launch a counterattack. Do you understand what I mean?"

"understand!"

"Boss, don't worry. I've been with you for several years. If you still can't remember this routine, you're too stupid."

"Hahaha! Boss, this guy said your routine is too old!"

"Asshole! You are slandering! I clearly said that the boss's routine is very effective, otherwise can it be used until now?"

Chen Ran watched this group of guys quarreling with black lines all over his head, closed his eyes, and didn't have the same knowledge as them.

At least the morale of these guys is good, and their fighting spirit was not dampened by the passive defense in the first half.

During the intermission, neither Chen Ran nor Carlo made personnel adjustments.

At the beginning of the second half, the situation on the court was still a half-time offensive and defensive drill.Real Madrid attack, Crystal Palace defend.

Five 10 minutes, six 10 minutes.
"Boss, there is movement on the bench at Real Madrid. They seem to be substituting."

Guardiola, who has been in charge of paying attention to the Real Madrid bench, reminded Chen Ran in time.

Chen Ran turned his head and looked, good guy, before he did anything, Carlo started to change people first.

No way, the players on the Real Madrid field have begun to decline in physical fitness.

Carlo wants to maintain the offensive, so he can only replace it with new forces.

No.60 In the second minute, Carlo replaced Robinho with Raul and continued to strengthen the attack.

"Josep, go tell Jan Kohler to warm up and get ready to play."

"Okay, boss."

On the other side, on the Real Madrid bench, Carlo also kept an eye on the movement of the Crystal Palace.

Seeing Jan Kohler, who is 202cm tall, stood up from the bench, his heart tightened immediately.

Although Carlo's coaching ability is not high, his work attitude is still very dedicated.

In order to prepare for this Champions League game, he watched all the recent Crystal Palace game videos.

Especially Crystal Palace's twin-tower tactics left a deep impression on him.

No way, even Real Madrid at its peak has never been known for its outstanding defensive capabilities.

Facing Jan Kohler, who is 202cm tall, and Tony, who is 193cm tall, Carlo had a headache for a long time.

Because he is really not sure whether the defenders in his team can guard against these two big centers.

Now, the situation he was most worried about was about to appear.

Looking back at the bench, do you want to send another central defender to strengthen the defense?

While Carlo was still hesitating, the Crystal Palace on the other side had already completed the substitution. Chen Ran replaced Simeone with Jan Kohler.

Before going on stage, Chen Ran held Jan Kohler's arm and raised his head and exhorted:

"Yang, you play double center with Tony after you play. Tell the others to cheer me up. Now change to 442 twin tower tactics and start attacking."

"Got it, boss."

In fact, these Crystal Palace players have long been familiar with Chen Ran's routine. When they saw him change to Yang Kohler, they immediately understood what he was going to do, and there was no need for Jan Kohler to inform him.

Thus, Carlo saw that as soon as Jan Kohler played, the whole situation of Crystal Palace changed immediately.No longer shrinking defensively, the formation also began to press forward as a whole.

He immediately realized that Crystal Palace was about to launch a counterattack.
