Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 207 I'll Try This Guy Again

It turned out that when Tom Hicks and George Gillette were discussing the acquisition of Crystal Palace.

Alves on the right side of Crystal Palace dribbled the ball along the touchline and passed the ball into the Inter Milan penalty area.

However, Alves' pass was not so precise because of Favalli's interception and Stankovic's pursuit.

Jan Kohler, who was outflanking the front point, couldn't touch the ball at all, and Tony couldn't shoot directly in the middle.

Because the ball passed behind Tony, Tony could only turn his back to Inter Milan's goal, barely stopped the ball with his chest, and then hooked the ball to the left with his feet before Samuel broke it.

At this time, Ronaldo on the left is in charge of the rear point outflanking according to Chen Ran's consistent tactical arrangement.

As soon as Tony passed the ball, it fell right in front of Ronaldo.

Before the ball hit the ground, Ronaldo volleyed directly.

But Zanetti, who had already landed and flew to block the hole, was a disservice. He didn't completely block the hole. The ball rubbed against Zanetti's extended foot and changed direction, but it still flew towards Inter Milan's goal.

This made Toldo, who had already moved in place and was about to save Ronaldo's shot, caught off guard. It was too late to turn around to save the ball. In the end, Toldo could only watch the ball fly into Inter Milan's net.

"GOAL!"

Crystal Palace leads Inter Milan 1:0.

"Boss, should we continue to attack or shrink the defense?"

After some celebration, Guardiola approached Chen Ran and asked.

"Let's keep attacking. Now that we have home court advantage and score a few more goals, it's best to eliminate the suspense of promotion in one game, so that the away game will be easier to play."

"Then boss, how many goals do you aim to score?"

"Of course, the more the better. It would be perfect if you can beat 4:0 or more."

Hearing Chen Ran's goal, Guardiola couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart. Are you treating Inter Milan as a weak team?
On the side of Inter Milan, Mancini did not fail to realize that Crystal Palace aimed the main offensive force at his two full-backs.

However, as a young coach, he does not have enough prestige in the team, and many times he has to rely on the help of these veterans to manage the team well.

It's still the first half of the game. If Zanetti and Favalli are replaced now, wouldn't it be a direct face blow?

Especially Zanetti, who is a veteran player and captain who has played for Inter Milan for many years. In terms of qualifications, he is much deeper than Mancini.

Mancini still wanted to continue coaching at the wealthy club Inter Milan, but after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't dare to do so. He just asked the two full-backs to retreat to help defend.

However, now Crystal Palace has taken the lead in scoring.This made Mancini feel that he had to make adjustments, otherwise Inter Milan might concede more goals in this game.

So, he called the Cameroon international and left back Worm from the bench.

After a brief warm-up, Mancini replaced Favalli with Worm.

Yes, Mancini still did not dare to move Zanetti's position.

As soon as the young, strong and fast Worm came on the field, he immediately deflated Alves on the right side of the Crystal Palace.

During an attack, Alves wanted to speed up the new guy.

As a result, after Worm ran, his speed was not inferior to Alves at all.

And with his stronger body, he just squeezed Alves out of the sideline.Not only did he not foul, he also snatched the ball to his feet.

"Boss, Inter Milan's new left-back looks difficult to deal with."

After watching the match between Alves and Worm a few times, Guardiola immediately came to Chen Ran's side and reminded him.

The changes in Inter Milan are naturally in Chen Ran's eyes.

It's just that in the memory of a senior fan in his previous life, he has no impression of this Worm.

That can only show one thing, that is, this Wurm didn't play well in Inter Milan, and he didn't even have any impressive performance in his entire career.

Judging from the current performance on the court, Wurm's physical fitness is definitely not a problem.

With his physical fitness, coupled with the current situation that Inter Milan's full-backs are too old and urgently need to be replaced.

Worm failed to play in Inter Milan?

It seems that this Worm must have fatal flaws in other aspects.

"Don't jump to conclusions, wait for me to try this guy's fineness."

Chen Ran turned around and said something to Guardiola, then walked to the sidelines, taking advantage of the dead ball to call Vieira over.

"Patrick, next you pass a few more balls to Alves on the right, and let him try Inter Milan's new left back."

"Understood, boss."

After receiving Chen Ran's instruction, Vieira passed five consecutive balls to Alves on the right.

Among them, the first four were perfectly defended by Worm.

Just when Alves himself was a little discouraged, something miraculous happened.

When Alves wanted to break through with the ball for the fifth time, but was intercepted by Worm.

Wurm may feel that he has eaten the right midfielder of Crystal Palace to death, and he passed the ball back to goalkeeper Toldo a little casually.

However, Wurm's return pass is a bit weak.

The alert Alves rushed up immediately, and stabbed the ball before Toldo attacked and destroyed it.

Then, Toldo, who had realized that the situation was not good, rushed over and did not touch the ball, but threw Alves down.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded timely and resolutely.

Is it a penalty?

Is there a red card?
At this moment, not only Chen Ran and Mancini standing on the sidelines, but everyone in the Highbury Stadium focused their attention on the referee on duty.

Soon, the referee who ran to the scene of the incident first pointed his finger at the penalty spot, and then drew a red card to Toldo.

"Haha, boss, you were right again. The left back of Inter Milan really has a problem."

Seeing that Toldo had the red dot set meal, Guardiola grabbed Chen Ran's arm excitedly and shook it non-stop.

Guardiola listened to all of Chen Ran's instructions to Vieira just now.

At that time, Guardiola was still a little disapproving, thinking that Chen Ran was unnecessary.

Since Inter Milan's newly replaced left-back is strong, then put Crystal Palace's main attack direction on Ronaldo's side.

Unexpectedly, the result of Chen Ran's test came so quickly, so surprising.

"Boss, tell me, how did you find out that Inter Milan's left-back has a problem?"

Unable to bear the strong curiosity, Guardiola couldn't wait to ask.

"It's very simple. If Worm is really strong, then as long as Inter Milan's head coach is not a fool, he will not use the 34-year-old veteran Favalli as the starting left back."

"It makes sense!"

Guardiola slapped his head, such a simple truth, why didn't he think of it just now?
At this time, the referee dispersed the Inter Milan players who were surrounding him and wanted to explain something, and maintained his previous penalty.

On the Inter Milan bench, Mancini was busy replacing the attacking midfielder Veron with the substitute goalkeeper Julio Cesar.

In fact, what Mancini wants to replace most now is Wurm, but obviously the situation on the court does not allow him to do so.

The midfielder Vieira took the penalty kick for Crystal Palace, because Chen Ran felt that there were not many players in the Crystal Palace team who had seen big scenes, and Vieira was the most suitable candidate.

Run-up, shot, Vieira shot the penalty to the upper right corner of Inter Milan's goal, but Julio Cesar made a misjudgment and jumped to the left, and the ball went into the net.

"GOAL!"

Crystal Palace leads Inter Milan 2:0.

"call!"

It seems that the overall situation of this game has been set.

Seeing Vieira score the second goal, Chen Ran felt reassured.

It is obviously impossible for Inter Milan to lose one person.

"Boss, shall we continue to attack?"

Guardiola now finally believes that it is possible for Chen Ran to win Inter Milan 4-0.

At this moment, Chen Ran seemed to have another layer of mystery in his eyes.

How can the boss judge so accurately every time?

Is there any trick here?
Could this be the secret to being a successful coach?

It seems that I still have to study with my boss for a while, and strive to learn the secret of the boss's success.

"Of course. Now that Inter Milan has one less player on the field, it is a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the victory."

While returning to Guardiola's question, Chen Ran was thinking in his heart that if he won a big victory today, he would have room for rotation when he went to Milan for the second round.

Not long after, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Intermission, Crystal Palace dressing room.

Looking at the members of the Crystal Palace who were drenched but in a good mood, Chen Ran slapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"Guys, you scored two goals in the first half and it was a great performance."

"Now that Inter Milan has one less player on the field, this is a good chance for us to qualify for the Champions League final."

"I hope that you can score at least two more goals in the second half of the game. In this way, the score of 4:0 will make it easier for us to go to Milan to play the second round."

"This is my hope, can you do it?"

"can!"

"Boss, don't worry. We now have a numerical advantage, and it is not a problem to score two more."

"Haha, that's right, boss, just wait for our good news."

"Get rid of Inter Milan!"

"Advance to the Champions League final!"

On Inter Milan's side, after being sent off one man, Mancini no longer expects to win at home in Crystal Palace.

He now only hopes that the 2:0 score gap will not widen. Of course, it would be even better if he can get an away goal.

For this reason, Mancini replaced center Adriano with Martins, who is fast and has a more prominent counterattack role, during the intermission.

And this change of Inter Milan, with the start of the second half of the game, naturally fell into the eyes of Chen Ran and the others.

"Boss, Inter Milan wants to play a defensive counterattack. The newly replaced Martins is extremely fast. Our defenders still need to be more careful."

As the person in charge of video editing of the Inter Milan game, Guardiola was very impressed with Martins' speed.

"Makes sense."

Chen Ran was no stranger to Martins.

In his previous life, when Martins got older, he went to China to play in the league for a period of time.

Even then, Martins is still a good counter-attacker, let alone him who is not yet 22 years old and his speed is at his peak.

Chen Ran looked at the Crystal Palace defenders on the field. Except for Maicon, almost all of them were tall and big.It must be very difficult to defend Martins who is scurrying around like a gopher.

"Josep, inform Thiago Silva and Evra to warm up and prepare to replace Southgate and Chiellini."

"What? Boss, you want to replace Gareth?"

"Nonsense, Gareth is 36 years old this year, with his current speed, can he keep up with that Martins?"

"Well, that's true."

"Why don't you hurry up and prepare for a replacement? If something happens, it will be too late."

"clear."

Just as Thiago Silva and Evra went to warm up, Martins really caused a lot of trouble for the Crystal Palace's defense.

Inter Milan's current tactics are very simple. Once they get the ball, they will look for Martins in front of them as soon as possible.

They don't play any pass and cut cooperation now, and they just open their feet one by one, which is simple and rude but effective.

As Chen Ran expected, Martins ran around like a field mouse.Apart from Maicon, no one in the Crystal Palace could keep up with his speed.

And Maicon is also responsible for his defense on the right, so it is impossible to chase Martins around.

So Martins deliberately avoided the right side of Crystal Palace after several matches with Maicon and found that he could not take advantage of it, and focused on the defense zone of Southgate and Chiellini and others to attack.

Fortunately, Chen Ran's adjustments were timely enough. It wasn't long before Martins found the weakness of Crystal Palace, and before he posed a real threat to Cech's goal, he suddenly realized that the opponent in front of him had changed.

Although Thiago Silva's speed is still not comparable to Martins, but compared to the 36-year-old Southgate, it is simply a bicycle turned into a motorcycle.

Coupled with the help of Evra, who is also a fast horse on the wing, the loopholes in the left half of Crystal Palace's defense line were immediately patched.

This time, Martins couldn't be as comfortable as before, coming and going freely.

Once Martins was contained, Inter Milan's counterattack could not be launched, and Crystal Palace's offensive wave after wave continued to hit the goal guarded by Julio Cesar.

No. In the 603rd minute, Jan Kohler received a cross from Ronaldo and beat Materazzi to score a header;
No.80 In the second minute, Mascherano, who came off the bench, took a long shot from outside the penalty area and once again broke through the goal guarded by Julio Cesar.
