Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 199 Let Them Cry and Call Mom

In the main lineup, Chen Ran only sent Ronaldo and Vieira.

Ronaldo is young and has good physical fitness, so Chen Ran has no worries about sending him on the field.

But Chen Ran had no choice but to let Vieira continue to fight. Chen Ran was really worried that he would not be in the midfielder position without him, a general with excellent offensive and defensive skills.

For this reason, Chen Ran quietly gave Vieira the "Level [-] Blood Recovery Card" previously rewarded by the system to ensure that there would be no problems with his physical fitness.

Although most of the lineup Chen Ran sent out were substitute players, their combat effectiveness was not weak.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Jan Kohler and Thiago Silva gave Crystal Palace a thrilling away win over Everton.

The reason why it is said to be thrilling is entirely because Pepe broke out again and gave the opponent a red dot package, which caused Crystal Palace to lose one player in the half hour after the game.

Had it not been for Van der Sar's vigor and bravery, Crystal Palace would have been almost overturned by Everton.

Looking at Peipei who ran to him again to apologize and admit his mistake, Chen Ran also shook his head helplessly.

This guy has a typical attitude of admitting mistakes, but he doesn't guarantee that he won't do it again in the future.

Fortunately, he won the game at the end, so Chen Ran didn't bother to argue with Pepe any more.

Who made him bring Pepe to Crystal Palace?The hole I dug myself must be filled with tears in my eyes.

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

Not bad, really good.

Seeing the system's reward this time, Chen Ran's mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny.

Just after I used up the "level one blood recovery card", the system gave me another one, which is really rare.

在本轮英超的其他比赛里，切尔西在客场1：0小胜伯明翰，曼联在客场2：1力克博尔顿，利物浦在客场2：0轻取西布罗姆维奇，阿森纳则在主场5：0大胜阿斯顿维拉。

After the No.30 second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace continued to top the standings with a record of 29 wins, three draws and [-] points.

Chelsea followed with 85 points, Manchester United ranked third with 72 points, Liverpool ranked fourth with 67 points, Tottenham Hotspur ranked fifth with 55 points and Arsenal ranked sixth with 53 points.

After three days of playing this Premier League, Crystal Palace immediately ushered in the second round of the Champions League against Real Madrid at home.

Because Crystal Palace has already won Real Madrid in the away game before, and also holds two away goals, so as long as Crystal Palace does not lose in this game, they can steadily eliminate their opponents and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

To be on the safe side, Chen Ran still adopted a defensive counterattack starting lineup.

However, before the game, Chen Ran also received a bad news.

That is, captain Southgate experienced leg discomfort during training. After a comprehensive examination, it was found that it was caused by muscle fatigue.

The doctor reminded Chen Ran that if he does not take a good rest, Southgate is prone to more serious injuries.

Considering that Southgate will soon be 36 years old, Chen Ran thinks it is better not to take risks.

Because if Southgate is seriously injured again at this age, the result is likely to retire early like Guardiola.

Therefore, Chen Ran had to exclude Southgate from the starting lineup and replace him temporarily with Thiago Silva.

On the Real Madrid side, Carlo has no choice but to attack with all his strength.

This time, Carlo still formed his favorite 4141 formation, but made fine adjustments to individual positions.He replaced Guti with Raul and Ramos with Herguera.

Needless to say, just by looking at the name, you can feel how strong the offensive power of Real Madrid's lineup is.

For this reason, after seeing Real Madrid's starting roster, Chen Ran called the Crystal Palace players together.

"Guys, I don't need to say much about the current situation. The initiative to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League is in our hands. As long as we defend this game well and don't let Real Madrid score."

"Guys, are you confident that Real Madrid players will go home crying?"

"Have!"

"Haha, let them cry and call mother."

"Get rid of Real Madrid!"

"Crystal Palace must win!"

Because of the arrival of Real Madrid, even if Chen Ran didn't use the "Level [-] Harvest Card" for this game, the Highbury Stadium was still full.

Even outside the stadium, there are still many Crystal Palace fans who do not have tickets and are reluctant to leave, hoping for a miracle that someone will refund their tickets.

In the past 100 years of Crystal Palace's history, let alone defeating Real Madrid, Crystal Palace is not even qualified to play against each other.

Today, Crystal Palace is very likely to eliminate Real Madrid here and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League historically.

How can this not make the fans of Crystal Palace extremely excited?
Who wouldn't want to be present to witness this great historical moment?

Before the game started, the fans of Crystal Palace sang the team anthem of Crystal Palace in Highbury Stadium.

When Chen Ran appeared in the stadium, there were deafening cheers from the audience.

The fans are not fools, no matter how the outside world evaluates Chen Ran, but they know in their hearts that without the arrival of this Chinese man, Crystal Palace will still be that little-known team that has been established for 100 years.

At this moment, Chen Ran fully realized what "blood expansion" is.

When he waved to the surrounding stands, the cheers resounded even more.

"It seems that this Chinese native is really supported by Crystal Palace fans."

The reporters were attracted by this Champions League game, and they were also surprised by the reaction of the fans, especially those reporters from Spain.

"Hehe, you may not be clear. This is the first time Crystal Palace has participated in the Champions League since its establishment 100 years ago. Now it is very possible to reach the semi-finals. Do you think those Crystal Palace fans can not support their Huaguo boss?"

Some British journalists who know enthusiastically help Spanish counterparts popularize the situation of the Crystal Palace club.

"Ahem, I have to correct you. Is it too early to say that Crystal Palace is very likely to reach the semi-finals? With the strength of Real Madrid, the score of 1:2 in the first round is not difficult to overtake difference."

"Haha, that's because you don't know about the Crystal Palace team. In fact, what they are best at is not attacking, but defensive counterattack. Since the Chinese took over this team, I haven't seen any team that can It's come back from Crystal Palace."

Although the English reporter did not wait to see Chen Ran, once it involved a contest between the English team and the Spanish team, he still stood firmly on the side of Crystal Palace.

"Really? That's probably because Crystal Palace hasn't met Real Madrid yet. Brother, let me remind you, Real Madrid has so many top stars, and what they are best at is creating miracles."

"Hehe, since Real Madrid has so many top stars, how could they be snatched by Barcelona to the top of the La Liga standings?"

"Hmph! Just wait and see how Real Madrid reverses Crystal Palace and advances to the semi-finals of the Champions League."

The Spanish reporter turned around and left here angrily.

"cut!"

The England reporter glanced at the back of the other party with disdain, but secretly muttered in his heart:
"Chen Ran, if Crystal Palace is really reversed by Real Madrid, then I will write manuscripts to scold you every day from now on."

At this moment, Chen Ran still didn't know that he had suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

Looking at the players from both sides walking into the stadium accompanied by the opening music of the UEFA Champions League, Chen Ran felt a little regret in addition to being overwhelmed.

It would be great if this game was played at Crystal Palace's own new stadium.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Like the opening of the first round, Real Madrid immediately launched a fierce offensive.On the Crystal Palace side, they have already shrunk their defenses and are ready to fight.

However, something unexpected happened again.

Just in the 9th minute of the game, Simeone, who replaced Southgate as the captain of the field, suddenly stopped while clutching the back of his right thigh without the ball, and his walk began to slow down. limp.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ran's heart suddenly "thumped".

He is very familiar with this situation, and Simeone probably has a muscle strain on the back of his thigh.

If this is the case, then he will definitely not be able to fight this game.

Feeling lucky, Chen Ran watched Crystal Palace's team doctor being summoned into the field by the referee, hoping that he had made a wrong judgment.

It's a pity that Chen Ran soon saw the team doctor making a gesture for a substitution.

"Josep, tell Mascherano to warm up."

"Okay, boss."

Guardiola knew that now was not the time to talk nonsense, and immediately called Mascherano from the bench.

When Simeone was carried off the field on a stretcher, Chen Ran hurried up to meet him.

"Diego, how are you? Are you seriously hurt?"

"Boss, I may have to rest for a while."

Simeone looked at Chen Ran helplessly, indescribably frustrated.

"Boss, after a preliminary diagnosis, I judged that Diego suffered a muscle strain on the back of his right thigh. For the specific situation, he needs to go to the hospital for further examination."

"Understood, you take care of Diego first."

"Don't worry, boss."

After learning about Simeone's injury, Chen Ran hurried back to the bench.

By this time, Mascherano had warmed up and was ready to play.

And taking advantage of the few minutes when Simeone was off the field and Mascherano hadn't played, Real Madrid seized the opportunity to have one more player than Crystal Palace and launched a crazy attack.

On the Crystal Palace side, not only Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery on the wing came back to help defend.Even center Toni retreated to the center line, trying to slow down Real Madrid's offensive.

Seeing that Mascherano had already stood on the sidelines waiting for the chance to play when the ball was dead, Chen Ran hurriedly shouted at the players on the field: "Destroy the ball!"

At this time, the ball is at the feet of Real Madrid, whether it is Zidane, Raul, Ronaldo, Robinho or Beckham, whoever has the ball is not easy to grab.

In particular, the Crystal Palace players did not dare to foul easily near the penalty area, because Chen Ran specifically explained before the game that Real Madrid has too many free kick masters, and it is not a last resort to give them a chance to use free kicks.

This time, the players of Crystal Palace were a little bit wary.

As a result, Mascherano stood on the sidelines for 3 minutes without being able to change, and the ball was still passed around the feet of Real Madrid players.

When the ball came to the foot of Robinho on the left again, the impatient Ribery couldn't bear it any longer. He rushed up and made a flying tackle, which shoveled Robinho out of the sideline with the ball.

"beep!"

The referee immediately blew his whistle and ran towards Ribery.

At this moment, Chen Ran's heart suddenly rose.

But don't be a red card!

The house leaks happen to rain all night, the good ones don't work and the bad ones.

As soon as the referee ran to Ribery's side, he took out the red card directly.

What the hell!

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

Chen Ran's heart sank. One was injured and another was sent off. It seemed that this game was going to be troublesome.

"Josep!"

Chen Ran immediately called Guardiola over.

"Boss, here I come."

"Hurry up and ask Alves to warm up now, and replace Tony with him later."

"Tony?"

"Stop talking nonsense and do as I say."

"Okay, boss."

Guardiola also knows that every second counts now, and it is not the time to express his opinions, so he immediately turned around and ran to the Crystal Palace bench.

Chen Ran immediately walked over to Mascherano, who was about to play, and explained a few words.

"Javier, after you play, play the midfielder on the left and pay attention to helping Chiellini strengthen the defense on the left."

"Understood, boss."

Carlo was overjoyed by the chaos in the Crystal Palace, it was simply a piece of cake from heaven.

First, the main midfielder Simeone was injured, and then the main right midfielder Ribery was sent off.

Carlo felt that even God was helping him.

If Real Madrid can't advance in this way, then he can only resign to thank the world.

So, the high-spirited Carlo walked to the sidelines, waved his hand, and greeted the Real Madrid players on the field to continue to strengthen their attacks.

In fact, there was no need for Carlo to give orders at all.

Of these top players on the court, who is still unclear about the situation on the court?
If such a good opportunity to come back is missed, they will not be able to forgive themselves.

At this moment, even the Brazilians, who have always been lazy in football, became active.

The defense line of the Crystal Palace suddenly fell into a precarious situation.
