Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 244 No Bargaining!

No. 705 minutes, when Cech's header was held firmly in Cech's arms, Cech quickly threw the ball to the unmarked Modric.

Modric looked up to observe the position of Crystal Palace's players in the frontcourt, and then hurriedly kicked the ball out before Gerrard's foot stretched out.

Because of the need to avoid Gerrard's tackle, the accuracy of Modric's pass is not high, and it will probably fall outside the upper left corner of Liverpool's penalty area.

At this time, Ibrahimovic, who was closest to the ball's landing point, immediately rushed over from the Liverpool penalty area.

The Liverpool defender Agger, who was in charge of marking Ibrahimovic, kept in mind the tactical requirements of the head coach Benitez, and followed him very responsibly.

Seeing that Agger did not give up marking just because he left the penalty area, Ibrahimovic simply turned his back to Liverpool's goal, stopped the ball with his chest first, and then directly made an upside-down golden hook shot outside the penalty area action.

"boom!"

The ball was so powerful that it flew straight to Liverpool's goal.

At this time, Ibrahimovic's position is far and far away from Liverpool's goal.

Even ordinary long-range shots, it is difficult to hit the goal, let alone a barb shot.

Therefore, after seeing Ibrahimovic catch the ball with his back, no one expected him to play this trick.

Is this a choice normal people would make?
too crazy!

Therefore, when Ibrahimovic made a barb shot, whether it was the players and referees on the court or the coaches and spectators off the court, everyone's eyes were fixed on the trajectory of the ball.

Huh?
The ball was actually flying towards Liverpool's goal.

Huh?
The angle of the ball is quite tricky.

Huh?
That Liverpool goalkeeper Reina didn't touch the ball.

OMG!

The ball actually went in!
In an instant, the fans in the entire Anfield stadium were silent, wondering if they were stunned by Ibrahimovic's incredible, ultra-long-distance upside-down golden hook.

"Oh!"

With a roar, Ibrahimovic, who scored such a shocking goal, was too excited to contain himself.

Raise your right fist high and roar to the sky!

In the quiet Anfield stadium, the roar of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the celebration of the Crystal Palace players were intertwined, which was extremely ear-piercing.

The next moment, the Liverpool fans who felt that the momentum was dominated by Crystal Palace were completely irritated.

Boos all over the sky filled the entire Anfield stadium and resounded through the night sky of Liverpool.

"It's unbelievable, what kind of people are there in the Crystal Palace team. The previous Modric scored a corner kick and scored directly. Today, this Ibrahimovic scored another golden hook from outside the penalty area."

Not only the fans, but also the media reporters in the stands were surprised by Ibrahimovic's goal.

These reporters don't know how many football matches they have seen. This is the first time they have seen such an unbelievable goal.

"Yes. Ibrahimovic's barb shot today is probably the longest barb shot in history, right?"

"It should be. At least I haven't seen a goal with a barb shot from farther than this distance."

"Me too. The previous Modric, today's Ibrahimovic, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, so many outstanding players were gathered into one team by that Chinese, Crystal Palace It's getting more and more scary now."

"Who said it wasn't? When Crystal Palace was tied by Chelsea and CSKA Moscow, I thought Crystal Palace would fail this season. I didn't expect that they would be followed by a wave of consecutive victories."

"Yes, I thought so at the time. Now it seems that it will be very difficult to prevent Crystal Palace from winning the three consecutive Premier League titles."

"Yeah, I don't know which team can stop that Chinese man from dominating British football."

Thousands of miles away in China, as long as there is a Crystal Palace game, no matter how late it is, the post bar of the Crystal Palace is as lively as a vegetable market.

"Good guy, I'm direct good guy. This Ibrahimovic is simply not human!"

"Yeah. Who would dare to shoot a barb in that place?"

"The key is that he got in."

"This Ibrahimovic must have no friends."

"Haha, I feel the same way, it's too stressful to be friends with this kind of non-human."

"Have you noticed that many of Crystal Palace's recent goals are world waves?"

"That's right. Not to mention Ibrahimovic's ultra-long-range barb shot. In the first half of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo's heel kicked the ball and scored a goal after fried meatballs. It is also a world wave."

"There is also the previous corner kick from Modric, who scored directly from the corner kick, and Kaka's one-stop breakthrough shot. Good guy, after this calculation, how do I feel that Crystal Palace can enter the world wave alone."

"Haha, that only shows that the players in Crystal Palace are too strong."

"Upstairs is right. However, what I admire more is Chen Ran who can gather so many talented people into one team. This vision of selecting players is really amazing."

If it is said that when one goal is behind, Benitez can still keep his face unchanged and be as stable as Mount Tai.So now that Liverpool fell behind by two goals, he couldn't sit still, pacing back and forth in the small area in front of the bench thinking about countermeasures.

Benitez knew very well that Liverpool's strength cannot be compared with that of Crystal Palace, and there is only a dead end in a direct confrontation.

However, he has no other way to go now.

Disarm and surrender?That's not his Benitez style.

After much deliberation, Benitez plans to fight.Anyway, the worst result is losing. As for losing one more or losing one less, it doesn't matter to him.

So, under the cruel Benitez Bellamy replaced the right midfielder Pennant, and then moved Gerrard to the right to play the right midfielder.

Liverpool's formation has also changed from 4411 to 442 in the diamond midfield position.

Dirk Drivet and Bellamy acted as double forwards, Luis Garcia as attacking midfielder, Zenden on the left and Gerrard on the right, and Harvey Alonso as single midfielder.

"Boss, Benitez is desperate."

Guardiola was also dumbfounded when he saw the change of Liverpool's position on the field after the substitution.

The two central midfielders couldn't stop the Crystal Palace's offensive before, but now they have become a single midfielder. Benitez is going crazy.

"Hehe, desperately? Does he have the capital?"

Chen Ran glanced at the time. Now the game has gone on for more than 10 minutes, and there is really not much time left for Liverpool.

Of course, Chen Ran still felt that there was too much time left, and he should use up some more for Liverpool.

So, he turned to look at Guardiola beside him.

"Josep, you go and inform Yaya Toure, Mascherano and Maicon to warm up. They will replace Kaka, Modric and Ibrahimovic in a while. The formation also becomes A 451 formation with three midfielders."

"Remember, when you make substitutions, replace them one by one. Yaya Toure replaces Kaka, then Mascherano replaces Modric, and finally Maicon replaces Ibrahimo. Vicki. Do you understand?"

"Boss, are you planning to waste time?"

"That's right. Counting injury time, there are at most 5 or 5 minutes left in the game. Our three substitutions will try to consume [-] or [-] minutes and add a little more difficulty to Benitez."

"Haha, boss, it's really unlucky to be your opponent."

Guardiola went to carry out Chen Ran's order with a smile, but silently set a rule for himself in his heart, that is, don't stand on the opposite side of the boss unless it is absolutely necessary.

Time passed slowly as the Crystal Palace made substitutions one after another.

And it's not just a matter of time consumption.Every substitution is an interruption of the game.For Liverpool, who are eager to attack, the rhythm of the attack is interrupted again and again.

Although Benitez was well aware of Chen Ran's intention to make such a substitution, he had nothing to do, because it was completely within the scope allowed by the rules.

Watching Crystal Palace's slow substitutions again and again, Benitez could do nothing but spread his hands, urge and complain.

In the end, Benitez originally wanted to go all out to attack the plan, but was cut to pieces by Chen Ran with substitutions one by one.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield, avenging their previous elimination from the League Cup by Liverpool.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Free Kick Master Card" from the system, which just made up for the vacancy left after it was used up before.

In other matches of this round of the Premier League, Chen Ran also received unexpected good news. Chelsea lost 1:2 to Tottenham Hotspur in the away game.

Unexpectedly, Tottenham Hotspur actually helped to do what they didn't do when they played against Chelsea directly.

Manchester United has been surprisingly stable this season. They played against Portsmouth, the dark horse of the season, in this round. Like Crystal Palace, they defeated their opponents cleanly with a score of 3:0 at Old Trafford.

As for Arsenal, they continued their unreliable performance in the past two years. They even lost 0:1 to West Ham United in the away game.

After the No.11 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace continued to top the standings with a record of 31 wins and [-] tie with [-] points.

Manchester United ranked No.28 with 2 points, Chelsea also ranked third with 25 points, Bolton ranked fourth with [-] points, and Portsmouth ranked fifth with [-] points.

As for Arsenal and Liverpool, one ranks sixth and the other ranks ninth, let alone mention it.

After playing this game against Liverpool, this stage of the devil's schedule is finally over, and Crystal Palace will have a week of rest.Chen Ran also gave the team members two days off to let them relax.

After all, during this period of time, the players were in high tension both physically and mentally.

The so-called Zhang Yichi, the way of civil and military.

A bowstring that is stretched too tight is easy to break, so relax when it's time to relax.

Although the League Cup was eliminated, Crystal Palace generally completed the previous plan.Whether in the Premier League or the Champions League, Crystal Palace is still ranked first, which is considered a safe pass.

However, the players can take a break, but Chen Ran does not have this blessing.

The day after the match against Liverpool, Chen Ran came to work at the Crystal Palace Club as usual.

Accumulated during the game, there are quite a few things that he needs to handle personally.

When Chen Ran was busy, Stephen and Louis came to the door together.

"Huh? Why did you two come together today?"

Because the things Stephen and Louis are responsible for usually have no intersection, they basically report to Chen Ran separately.

It's really rare to come here together today.

"That's right. Our acquisition of the Recife Sports Club has made progress. Luis' father has contributed a lot here, and he must know the specific situation in Brazil better than me, so I will come here today to report to you. progress."

Stephen stood up first and gave an overview of the matter.

"Oh? Could it be that the owner of the Recife Sports Club changed his mind and was willing to lower the price?"

Hearing the news, Chen Ran was in a good mood.

A club that broke the Brazilian second division, but it has not been settled after so long.

Chen Ran was patient enough, but now he was getting a little impatient.

"Yes. According to your plan, my father selected three clubs with suitable conditions, and then took our people to investigate one by one."

"And during the inspection process, many media reporters were also invited. After some hype, the entire Brazilian football world now knows that Crystal Palace wants to acquire a club in Brazil."

"It is said that, apart from the three clubs that arranged the investigation, other clubs have already taken the initiative to find our people and promote their clubs."

"So the owner of the Recife Sports Club panicked a bit. He approached our people again and said that he could reduce the price from 3000 million euros to 2500 million euros."

Crystal Palace's eyes were darkened in Brazil, including the staff they sent over.

The reason why such a big commotion can be made in Brazil now is entirely due to the help of Luis's father.

Regarding this point, Chen Ran knew it well.Although he didn't say it, he remembered it in his heart.

"2500 million euros? Luis, I remember the previous price was 1500 million euros?"

"Yes. That old boy still doesn't seem to give up."

"That's it. Steph, you tell our people to tell the owner of Recife Sports. Our purchase price is 1400 million euros. If he doesn't agree, then we will buy other clubs. Brazil has nothing else but football. There are many clubs."

"Er Chen, Recife Sporting's previous offer was 1500 million euros."

Stephen thought that Chen Ran had misremembered the price, so he specially reminded him.

"I know their previous offer was 1500 million euros. So I deliberately subtracted 100 million euros to punish greed. You can ask our people to tell the owner of Recife Sports clearly."

"It's 1400 million euros, no bargaining!"
