Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

chapter 246

With Franck Ribéry scoring the third goal, the referee also blew the whistle to end the first half.

During the halftime break, Chen Ran did not make any adjustments except to give the players blood as usual.

On the Tottenham Hotspur side, coach Martin Joel obviously couldn't accept the result of being three goals behind Crystal Palace in the first half.

He replaced Malblanc with striker Defoe, ready to strengthen the offense, at least not so ugly.

Defoe's playing did indeed have a good effect.

In two minutes, Defoe used his speed to dribble past Thiago Silva's defense on the left and successfully made a pass from the bottom.

The "handsome brother" Berbatov in the penalty area used Robbie Keane's cover to get rid of Vidic's marking, and used a volley side hook that he is good at.

Still the same sentence, only wrong names, no wrong nicknames.

Berbatov's volley side hook was stretched and very chic, and the position of the ball was also very accurate. The ball rushed towards the Crystal Palace goal like a cannonball.

Cech's reaction was already very fast. Just like this, he only touched the ball with his fingertips, but he couldn't stop the ball from flying into the Crystal Palace's net.

With Berbatov's volley side hook, Tottenham Hotspur narrowed the score to 1:3.

At this moment, Martin Jolton, who seemed to see hope, suddenly became excited, standing on the sidelines and calling for Tottenham Hotspur's players to attack.

"Boss, should we shrink the lineup and play defensive counterattack instead?"

Seeing that Tottenham Hotspur seem to want to start now, Guardiola feels that Crystal Palace still has a two-goal lead. If they switch to defensive counterattacks at this time, they should be able to maintain the lead until the end of the game.

"No, it's not the time to shrink the defense. Keep attacking, Tottenham can score, we will only score more than them."

Chen Ran waved his hand at Guardiola. With the current strength of Crystal Palace, it is not unreasonable to play against any team.

What's more, the game has only lasted more than 50 minutes, and it is too early to start defending at this time.

As Chen Ran expected, in 9 minutes, Franck Ribery on the right was pursued by Lee Young-pyo all the way, and forced a cross from the bottom.

In Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was responsible for rushing to the front point, failed to jump up under the interference of Ledley King.

Fortunately, Tony, who was behind him, overwhelmed Dawson, another central defender of Tottenham Hotspur. With a lion shake, he pushed the ball heavily towards Cheney to guard the goal.

Cheney flew sideways, blocked the ball, and the ball flew towards Tottenham Hotspur's right.

At this time, according to Chen Ran's tactical arrangement, Ronaldo, who was in charge of outflanking the back point, just rushed over and made a dive towards the top of the ball.

And Cheney, who had just made a save, hadn't gotten up from the ground yet, and could only watch the ball fly into Tottenham Hotspur's net from before his eyes.

"GOAL!"

With Ronaldo's dive to the top, Crystal Palace once again extended their lead to three goals.

After playing for a few more minutes, Chen Ran saw that the time was almost up, then turned around and called Guardiola over.

"Josep, you go and inform Yaya Toure, Mascherano and Maicon to warm up and replace Kaka with them later, Modric and Ibrahimovic. Then the team The formation changed to 451 with three midfielders, and changed to defensive counterattack. Do you understand?"

"Okay, boss."

Hearing Chen Ran's order, Guardiola knew that the boss felt that the game was almost over and was about to stop.

With Crystal Palace taking the initiative to reclaim the formation, Tottenham Hotspur can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's a pity that even if Crystal Palace gave them the initiative on the field, with the defense of three midfielders and four defenders, Tottenham still couldn't attack.

Until the game entered stoppage time, "Brother Chic" Berbatov had another flash of inspiration.

After this guy received a pass in the penalty area of ​​the Crystal Palace, because the defenders of the Crystal Palace defended him tightly, he did not find a chance to shoot.

So, he took the ball for a stroll in the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Yes, you read that right, just strolling.

Because there is no more suitable adjective than "walking".

After most of the game, the defenders of Crystal Palace also understood how strong this guy who seems to be lazy in playing football and not active in running around is.

In order to prevent being tricked by Berbatov into a penalty kick, the defenders of Crystal Palace just forced him outside the penalty area, but they did not dare to break his ball.

Berbatov didn't care either, and since the Crystal Palace defenders pushed him outside the box, he took the ball farther and farther out.

When he was about to be taken out of the penalty area, Berbatov suddenly flicked the ball horizontally, followed by a volley with his right foot.

The ball flew close to the goal of Crystal Palace, and bounced twice on the ground. It just escaped Petr Cech's outstretched hand and jumped into the lower left corner of the goal of Crystal Palace.

Shortly after Berbatov scored the goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Crystal Palace finally defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4:2 at home. At the same time as scoring three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level [-] Recovery Card" from the system.

While Crystal Palace continued to win on the pitch, good news came from outside the pitch.

"Chen, there are new developments in Brazil. The owner of Sporting Recife finally can't bear to lower the price back to 1500 million euros."

As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help reporting the good news to Chen Ran. It must be little fat Louis, but Stephen followed him into Chen Ran's office with a smile on his face.

"Oh? Why is that guy so honest this time?"

Hearing the good news, Chen Ran asked curiously.

"It is said that the creditors of his own business are pressing hard. You also know that in Brazil, debts are not repaid, but it is not just a matter of money."

The little fat man shrugged, gloating.

"But last time I said 1400 million euros."

Glancing at the little fat man, he replied lightly.

"Er Chen, do you really have to ask for 1400 million euros? I think the price of 1500 million euros is reasonable. After all, Recife Sports is also a century-old club."

Louis did not expect Chen Ran to insist on his offer of 1400 million euros, so he couldn't help persuading him.

"Didn't I say that? This 100 million euros is the punishment for that guy's greed."

Chen Ran hated those who dared to hit him on the head.

"Chen, isn't there a saying in your country of Hua called 'Be a man and stay on the front line so we can meet each other in the future'? I think since that guy has lowered the price again, let's settle this matter as soon as possible."

"After all, buying the Recife Sports Club is just the beginning, and we will carry out a comprehensive transformation of Recife Sports in the future. It is really unnecessary to waste time and energy on that worthless person."

Stephen also stood up to persuade Chen Ran at this time, and even quoted a sentence in Chinese.

This moment surprised Chen Ran.

Good guy, to be able to say something like "Let's stay on the front line, we will see each other in the future" shows that Stephen's Chinese proficiency has gone far beyond "Ni Hao" and "Thank you".

"Stephen, when did you speak so much Chinese?"

"Haha, that is, I learned a little when I was free in private. 'Accept, admit'."

Stephen also said "admit" in this sentence in Chinese.

"Hey, did you two miss the point? Didn't we just talk about sports in Recife? Why did you go to learn Chinese again?"

Fatty Louis on the side interrupted Chen Ran and Stephen's discussion about the progress of Chinese learning helplessly.

"Ahem, Stephen, what you said is also reasonable. Then you inform our people in Brazil and sign the contract at a price of 1500 million euros."

"Okay, I'll make the call in a minute."

After finishing speaking, Chen Ran turned to look at the little fat man again.

"Louis, when the time comes to take over Recife Sports, I have to ask your father to come out and take over the place. If there is anything that needs attention, your father will also need to remind you."

"Don't worry, wrap it on me."

While giving Chen Ran a guarantee, the little fat man slapped his plump breasts with a "bang bang".

After a week of rest, Crystal Palace ushered in the No. 13 round of the Premier League.

Crystal Palace beat Charlton 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva.

Three days later, the UEFA Champions League group stage will start again. This time, Crystal Palace will face Hamburg, Germany at home.

In the previous away game against Hamburg, Crystal Palace beat their opponents 3-0.

If Crystal Palace can win Hamburg again at home today, they will be able to secure the right to qualify for the Champions League group stage one round in advance.

For this reason, the Crystal Palace worked hard up and down, and must eat the burger delivered to their door in one bite.

Because according to the design of the schedule, the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage is in December.At that time, in addition to the Premier League games, Crystal Palace will also fly to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup.

Therefore, it is very important to secure the right to qualify for the Champions League group in advance. At that time, Crystal Palace will be able to use all the substitutes in the final round of the Champions League to save energy for the main players to participate in the Premier League and the Club World Cup.

In order to complete his plan, even though he had just finished playing the Premier League three days ago, Chen Ran still formed the strongest attacking lineup for Crystal Palace in this game.

Forward Toni, Forward Ibrahimovic
Left midfielder Ronaldo, midfielder Kaka, right midfielder Ribery

Vieira, Modric
Left centre-back Chiellini, centre-back Nemanja Vidic, right centre-back Thiago Silva

goalkeeper cech
On the Hamburg side, even though he knew that his team was not as strong as Crystal Palace, the head coach Thomas Doll still had to press the offense.

Because if they can't win the Crystal Palace, let alone advance to the next round of the Champions League, they won't even be eligible to participate in the Europa League.

Forward Guerrero, Forward Liuboja

Left midfielder Trochowski, midfielder van der Vaart, right midfielder Madavikia

De Jong
Left back Sorin, center back Kompany, center back Atuba, right back Demel
Goalkeeper Wechter

I have to say that the Hamburg team worked really hard from top to bottom in this game.

From the time the referee blew the whistle to start the game, they were fully attacking, as if the weaker team was Crystal Palace.

However, Hamburg's players are indeed capable. Less than 10 minutes into the game, Madavikia on the right took a long shot from outside the upper left corner of the Crystal Palace penalty area after receiving a pass from van der Vaart.

The position of the ball is far and far away, and most people would never hit the goal at this place, so Madavikia's shot also caught Cech by surprise.

And this shot Madavikia played very beautifully, with great strength and sharp angle.Petr Cech tried his best to save the ball before blocking the ball out of the baseline with his fingertips, scaring everyone into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the goal was not scored, but the Crystal Palace players who reacted were immediately enraged. The defeated player still wanted to play wild in his own territory?
As a result, wave after wave of attacks quickly pushed Hamburg's formation back again.

No.208 minutes, after Cech confiscated the ball in a counterattack in Hamburg, Cech quickly threw the ball to Modric.

This time, Hamburg's players were well prepared. Before the game, head coach Thomas Doll repeatedly told Crystal Palace's offensive organizers to pay attention, and Modric was honored to be among them.

Because Modric is now on the right side of the ball, Hamburg's left midfielder Troshovsky immediately posted it.

Troshovsky is only 169cm tall, but being short also has the advantage of being short.

His body is flexible and fast, and he can rush and grab Modric in an instant. Although Modric's skills are good enough to not lose the ball, he can't concentrate on organizing the attack under Troshovsky's interference. .

In desperation, Modric had to pass the ball to Thiago Silva who was not far from him.

Thiago Silva, as a central defender, does not have as many tricks as Modric. After receiving the ball, he looked up at the approximate position of his teammates, and directly sent the ball to the frontcourt with a big foot.

At this time, the benefits of the two high center forwards that Chen Ran arranged for Crystal Palace in the frontcourt were reflected.

Seeing the ball fly over, Tony and Ibrahimovic immediately started to act.

The two people have a clear division of labor, one is to grab the ball's landing point, and the other is responsible for covering and interfering with the Hamburg defender.

On the Hamburg side, Kompany is only 20 years old this year. This age is too young for the central defender position, and he is far from reaching his later peak level.

And the other central defender, Atuba, is only 24 years old this year. Apart from being tall, strong, black and hard, his ability is also average.

How can these two guys withstand the two big killers of Tony and Ibrahimovic?
I saw Tony blocked Kompany tightly behind him, and then smoothly gave the ball to Ibrahimovic.

And Ibrahimovic used his 195cm big body to sway left and right, abruptly shaking Atuba to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he directly bombarded the goal 30 meters away from the goal.
