Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 24 Training Cristiano Ronaldo

Damn, these bastards are digging holes for me again.

What an inappropriate son of man!

When Chen Ran saw the news, the joy of winning his first coaching career was immediately diluted.

I don't know how the three big guys will react?
Forget it, anyway, Crystal Palace is still in the British Championship, and they will not confront the three giants head-on for the time being.

It will be at least a year before Crystal Palace rushes to the Premier League. At that time, if you want money, people, and wings, you will not be afraid of anyone.

After making up his mind, Chen Ran ignored the instigation of those sinister media, and focused on polishing his team.

Before long, Chen Ran arranged several warm-up matches one after another. Although they were all low-level teams, Crystal Palace ended in victory.

All of a sudden, many media who were pessimistic about Chen Ran made a 180-degree turn and started to praise him one by one.

This made Chen Ran alert immediately, and then he called Guardiola, Simeone and Southgate together.

"Have you read all the recent media reports about us?"

"Look, boss, they all say you're a talented coach."

"That's right. He also said that our defensive and counterattack style is very sharp, and no team in the British Championship can defend it."

"Yes, many people say that our Crystal Palace will definitely be promoted to the Premier League this season."

Seeing the complacent looks of the three guys in front of him, Chen Ran couldn't help shaking his head.

It seems that the winning streak of this wave of warm-up matches, coupled with the media's praise, made them a little bit flustered.

Where did this come from? It's on top?
No, they must be poured a basin of cold water.

"Okay, just listen to what the media say, and don't take it seriously."

"Also, we are now a target with Crystal Palace through their heavy coverage. The other Championship teams are definitely looking at our tactics and we have to be prepared."

The whole office suddenly fell into silence, and Chen Ran's words were beyond the expectations of the three of them.

Fortunately, none of the three of them were brats. As soon as Chen Ran mentioned it, they immediately realized that something was wrong with the current public opinion atmosphere.

Looking at the face of the boss in front of him who was too young, the three of them couldn't help sighing in their hearts:

So calm, so calm, who is the older person?

"Boss, you are right, we were a little too optimistic before."

"Yes, boss, don't worry, we will stay focused."

"Boss, do you already have a countermeasure?"

Seeing the three people's sincere attitude of admitting their mistakes, Chen Ran nodded, and his performance was not bad.

After all, they are all veterans in their 30s, so it's obvious.

"Our defensive and counterattack style of play has initially taken shape, and it has performed quite well in actual combat. But also because of these few warm-up matches, this tactic has been exposed. When opponents play against us in the future, they will definitely be targeted. layout."

"So, starting today, we will practice Gareth's tactics in training. This tactic pays attention to the balance of offense and defense, and focuses on wing attacks. After practice, we can give the opponent a surprise when the time comes, so that they are fully prepared. Frustrated."

"Boss, you are too smart (insidious)."

"Stop flattering and go to work."

Southgate's tactics are a typical British 442 style of play, which is very common in English football, so most players have no problem adapting to it.

In terms of lineup arrangement, the biggest difference from before is that Modric, who served as the midfielder, was abandoned, and another striker, Crouch, was sent to form a pair of twin towers with Tony.

Then Ronaldo and Franck Ribery from the two wings broke through and crossed, constantly bombing the opponent's goal.

It is a pity that Cristiano Ronaldo may have performed well in the warm-up match before. He was outstanding and scored many goals, so he prefers to break through and shoot straight into the penalty area. He seems to have no interest in crossing from the bottom.

This situation was not only discovered by Chen Ran, but also by Guardiola, Simeone and Southgate.

The three pointed out this problem to Ronaldo in training, but Ronaldo still went his own way, which seemed to have no effect.

Chen Ran knew very well in his heart that when Ronaldo first arrived at Manchester United in his previous life, he was only thinking about dribbling and breaking through others, and was criticized by many people for this.

But for a boy who is in the 18-year-old rebellious period, you can't correct him with a commanding tone, which may have the opposite effect.

Therefore, when Guardiola and the three of them approached Chen Ran to respond to this question, Chen Ran laughed.

"I'll just ask you a question. When you were 18, did you like to hear people say: 'You're doing this wrong, you have to do that'?"

"Uh, I don't seem to like it very much."

The three of them looked at each other and immediately understood what Chen Ran meant.

"Okay, leave this matter to me. However, it may take a little time. Sometimes he wants to understand it by himself, and maybe the effect is better."

"Got it, boss."

After the training ended the next day, Chen Ran left Ronaldo alone.

"Ronaldo, do you know why I'm looking for you today?"

Chen Ran did not take Ronaldo back to his office, that was too formal, and the two casually strolled along the lawn of the base.

"I probably know, is it because I don't want to pass the ball?"

Ronaldo looked at Chen Ran with some stubbornness, it must be the three old guys who sued me.

"Haha, then you guessed wrong. I just came to you today to tell you some good news, do you want to know?"

"What good news?"

Ronaldo was taken aback, this was completely different from what he had imagined.

"It's like this. I heard that you like sports cars, so I prepared a gift for you. As long as Crystal Palace can reach the Premier League this season, and your personal assists reach 10, then after the end of the season, I will give you a gift." How about a Porsche 911?"

"Really? Boss, is what you said true?"

Ronaldo immediately cried out excitedly.

The transfer to Crystal Palace is his first big contract, with an annual salary of 200 million euros.But this money is not given to him all at once, but distributed to him every month.

Therefore, a Porsche 911 is really not a small amount of money for the current Ronaldo.

How many men don't like sports cars?
Even if he is only 18 years old.

Now hearing Chen Ran saying that he is willing to give him a Porsche 911 as a gift, Ronaldo is almost exploding with excitement.A military order was issued on the spot, for fear that Chen Ran would go back on his word.

"Boss, don't worry. I will definitely help Crystal Palace get promoted to the Premier League, and I will definitely send out more than 10 assists."

"Okay, I look forward to the day when I hand over the car keys to you."

Seeing Ronaldo leaving happily, Chen Ran smiled slightly.

It's quite simple to train Ronaldo.
