Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 249 The Son of Heaven's Chosen

This is the first time Crystal Palace has participated in the Club World Cup, but it will definitely not be the last.

In fact, when Chen Ran and the entire Crystal Palace team were still sitting on the Emirates chartered flight, the Club World Cup had already started.

It's just that Crystal Palace, the European champion, and Brazil International, the South American champion, can directly advance to the semi-finals.

On December 12, the African champions, the Egyptian team Ahly defeated the Oceania champions, Auckland City of New Zealand 10:2, and advanced to the semi-finals.

On December 12th, Asian champions, Korean team Jeonbuk Hyundai lost 11:0 to North American champions, Mexico's American team, which advanced to the semi-finals.

After these two games are over, the semi-finals of the Club World Cup will be determined.

Internazionale take on Egypt's Al-Ahli and England's Crystal Palace take on Mexico's America.

On December 12, with the goals of Pato and Adriano, Brazil International eliminated Egypt's Ahli 13:2 and advanced to the final of the Club World Cup first.

On December 12, the semi-finals of the Club World Cup between Crystal Palace and Mexico America will start soon.

Because Crystal Palace is eligible to participate in the Club World Cup this year, the popularity of the Club World Cup in China is much higher than in previous years.

In the previous Club World Cups, domestic fans usually only watch the last game, which is the match between the European champion and the South American champion.

As for the previous games, there were very few people paying attention.

Now, due to the birth of Chen Ran and Crystal Palace, this year will be quite different.

"Haha, hello everyone, where am I?"

Immediately, several photos were uploaded to the post bar of Crystal Palace.

Now as long as there is a Crystal Palace game going on, the post bar of the Crystal Palace is always very lively, no matter what time it is in China at that time.

"I'm going, isn't this the big guy who went to watch Crystal Palace win the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League?"

"Haha, I didn't expect anyone to remember me. That's right, I'm here again today. Guess where I am now?"

"Boss, please don't insult our IQ. Every time you jump out like this, don't you go to watch the Crystal Palace game live?"

"Yeah, it's too simple. So I guess the boss must be in the 'Yokohama International Stadium' right now?"

"Haha, you guessed it right, I'm watching Crystal Palace win the Club World Cup again today."

As he said that, the brother took a photo of the ticket and uploaded it to the post bar.

"Hell, it's two more tickets. What excuse is the boss looking for to cheat his girlfriend this time?"

"Haha, I didn't lie this time, so I just asked her if she wants to travel to Japan?"

"And then he swam directly to the football field, didn't he?"

"Hey, she's used to it now."

"I said, have you noticed that in all the finals that the big guys went to watch the Crystal Palace participate in, the Crystal Palace won the championship in the end."

"I'll go, you mean the big brother has a prosperous Crystal Palace?"

"Upstairs, I've only heard of Wangfu Xiang, when did the Wang Crystal Palace appear?"

"Because the boss went to see the game and Crystal Palace won."

"That's because Crystal Palace is strong enough."

"At least ask for a good fortune."

"That's right. Crystal Palace are the champions!"

"Crystal Palace are champions! +1"

"Crystal Palace are champions! +2"

The organizing committee of the Club World Cup is also considerate, giving Crystal Palace a three-day rest period, allowing Crystal Palace to recover a lot from the fatigue caused by the previous intensive schedule and long-distance flight.

For the semi-final opponent of the Club World Cup, Mexico America, Chen Ran also did a lot of homework.

In their player list, I really saw a lot of acquaintances.

Blanco, who is world-famous for his leapfrog in the World Cup, former Argentina international and famous striker Claudio Lopez, and Paraguay international familiar to domestic fans, striker Cuevas who once played for COSCO Shanghai.

However, compared with today's Crystal Palace, Mexico America is obviously not a heavyweight opponent.

Therefore, Chen Ran did not send all the main lineup in this game.

Center Jan Kohler
Left midfielder Evra, midfielder Kaka, right midfielder Alves

DM Yaya Toure, DM Mascherano
Left back Chiellini, center back Thiago Silva, center back Vidic, right back Maicon
goalkeeper van der sar

On the side of Mexico and America, the head coach Turner, who knew that he was not as good as others, naturally did not dare to stay strong, and sent all the main players to prepare for a fight.

Left winger Claudio Lopez, center forward Cabanas, right winger Cuevas

Central midfielder Aguero, Central midfielder Pereira, Central midfielder Villa
Left back Davino, center back Ricardo Rojas, center back Oscar Rojas, right back Castro

goalkeeper ojo
However, although Mexico and America sent all the main players, when the referee blew the whistle to start the game, they were completely suppressed by Crystal Palace and were forced to surrender the initiative of the game.

No. 18 minutes, Crystal Palace's right back Maicon and right forward Alves, two fellow Brazilians, played consecutively on the right side, and finally Alves dribbled the ball all the way through the bottom pass.

In the restricted area of ​​Mexico America, Jan Kohler, who is 202cm tall, is naturally the focus of defenders.Especially the shiny big bald head, it is hard to ignore his existence.

The two central defenders of Mexico America, Ricardo Rojas and Oscar Rojas, one behind the other, sandwiched Jan Kohler tightly in the middle.It's like a hamburger with two pieces of bread sandwiching a patty, making Jan Kohler unable to dance at all.

Seeing Alves' pass flying over, Ricardo Rojas, who was in front of Jan Kohler, pushed the ball directly out of the penalty area.

It's a pity that he didn't go far with this shot, because they used a stalking method to deal with Jan Kohler, and the experienced Jan Kohler had seen this kind of scene a lot, so naturally it wouldn't make them feel better.

Just as Ricardo Rojas was jumping to head the ball, Jan Kohler made a slight effort behind him, immediately shifting the center of gravity of Ricardo Rojas who was jumping in mid-air.

If the center of gravity is lost, then how can it be possible to exert force to head the ball, and of course the ball is not far enough.It just flew less than two meters out of the penalty area.

At this time, Kaka, who was waiting for an opportunity outside the penalty area, immediately discovered this opportunity. He rushed towards the ball and volleyed.

"boom!"

The ball was extremely powerful, and after bouncing off the ground halfway, it jumped directly to the lower left corner of the Mexico America goal.

Goalkeeper Ojo made a save, but because the ball was too fast, when he stretched out his hand, the ball had already flown into the net.

"GOAL!"

With Kaka's volley, Crystal Palace lead Mexico America 1-0.

"A stranger is like jade, and your son is unparalleled in the world."

"Whether it's at AC Milan or at Crystal Palace, Kaka is unique."

"Beautiful goal, Crystal Palace took the lead in less than 10 minutes."

"World wave, world wave again, it seems that Crystal Palace players are particularly good at hitting world wave goals."

"The strength of Crystal Palace is too strong. Although the head coach Chen Ran sent many substitute players in this game, they still have the upper hand in the game."

"The goal was conceded at the beginning. With the defensive ability of Crystal Palace, the game in Mexico and America is more or less ominous."

When Kaka scored a goal, the commentators who broadcast the game all over the world had a collective climax.

However, they soon discover that they must exercise restraint, or it will be tiring.

No. 301 minutes, saw Alves and Maicon on the right kicking well, and Evra on the left of Crystal Palace was not to be outdone.

After breaking through the right back Castro of Mexico America with the ball, he did not choose to make a pass from the bottom, but directly slanted into the penalty area of ​​Mexico America.

This time, the threat posed by Evra can make most of the bottom pass.

The two central defenders of Mexico and America, Ricardo Rojas and Oscar Rojas, who were in charge of marking Jan Kohler, had to separate out one to stop Evra from going forward.

At the same time, the central midfielder Pereira, who is in the middle of the Mexican America, also hurried back to the defense, ready to help Ricardo Rojas double-team Evra.

Seeing that he was about to fall into the encirclement of Mexico and America, Evra immediately distributed the ball to Kaka who was responding in the middle.

At this time, Pereira, who was supposed to stay in the middle to defend, had already left his position because he was going to help defend Evra, and there was a defensive vacuum around Kaka again.

Such a good opportunity, how could Kaka miss it?
I saw Kaka flicking the ball to the right, looked up at the position of the Mexico America goal, and then directly took a curve ball with his right foot and shot.

The unlucky Mexican-American goalkeeper, Ocho, made another flying movement, but still didn't even touch the ball. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into his goal again.

"GOAL!"

With Kaka's brace, Crystal Palace lead Mexico America 2-0.

"The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star."

"Another world wave, this game belongs to Kaka."

"Although Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Toni, Ribery and Modric didn't play, as long as Kaka is there, Crystal Palace is enough to win."

"If the game continues in this way, it will probably be another massacre."

"Although the first half of the game is not over yet, the game has shown a one-sided situation."

"With two goals in hand, Crystal Palace is getting closer and closer to the Club World Cup champion."

After scoring two goals, Crystal Palace's offensive rhythm has slowed down.

Chen Ran, who was standing on the sidelines and watching the game closely, immediately noticed the situation, but he didn't say anything.With the advantage of two goals in hand, there is really no need to attack desperately, after all, that would consume a lot of energy.

The Crystal Palace lowered their offensive tempo, and Mexico and America had a chance to breathe, and they began to slowly organize their offense.

Unfortunately, neither Claudio Lopez on the left nor Cuevas on the right could shake the Crystal Palace defense, and the number of successful breakthroughs was pitifully small.

As a team with a 433 formation, if the two sides cannot be opened, then the offense will be considered useless.Center Cabanas can't catch the ball, no matter how capable he is, it's just a display.

In this way, one of the two teams was a little slack, and the other wanted to attack but couldn't. The score on the court was maintained at 2:0 and the first half of the game ended.

During the intermission, because Crystal Palace played smoothly in the first half, there was no need for Chen Ran to make any adjustments. He just gave the players some blood as usual.

On the Mexican American side, coach Turner still wanted to make the last struggle, and replaced center Cabanas with team captain and veteran Blanco.

However, what Turner didn't expect was that shortly after the start of the second half, his team suffered another blow.

No.409 minutes, after an attack by Mexico and America, the goalkeeper of Crystal Palace Van der Sar threw the ball with a strong hand and directly threw the ball to Kaka near the center line.

After receiving the ball, Kaka first passed Pereira who came up to intercept, and then directly dribbled the ball in the middle.

With Kaka's speed, once he is allowed to run, ordinary people really can't catch up.

And because Mexico and America were still attacking before, a large number of people were still in Crystal Palace's half and did not have time to return to defense.

This resulted in a large open space in front of Kaka, allowing him enough time and space to accelerate.

In desperation, the two central defenders Ricardo Rojas and Oscar Rojas of Mexico and America had no choice but to separate one of them again to intercept Kaka.

It turned out to be even worse this time. Kaka saw Ricardo Rojas rushing over, and directly played a Marseille maneuver, passing Ricardo Rojas with ease.

The remaining central defender, Oscar Rojas, saw that he had no choice but to give up Jan Kohler, who was in charge of marking him, and came to intercept Kaka.

However, Jan Kohler, who Oscar Rojas had been pestering before, refused to let him go.

The two were tightly entangled, and no one could get rid of the other, but Oscar Rojas had no way to stop Kaka's progress.

Seeing that Jan Kohler was creating opportunities for himself, Kaka naturally wouldn't miss it, and directly dribbled the ball from the middle into the Mexican American penalty area.

Goalkeeper Ojo saw that the situation was not good, and no one else could help him now, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and leave the door, rushing up to intercept Kaka himself.

Facing Ocho's attack, Kaka flicked the ball to the right first, followed by another pass, passed Ocho so easily and freely, and then pushed the ball forward with the instep of his right foot. Empty Mexico America goal.

"GOAL!"

"The Chosen Son!"

"Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles without leaving."

"Kaka! It's Kaka again! It's still Kaka!"

"Kaka performed a solo pass, passed the midfielder, the defender, and the goalkeeper, and then scored an empty goal."

"Only 10 minutes into the game, Kaka scored a hat-trick."

"Relying on Kaka's three goals, Crystal Palace has secured a place in the Club World Cup final ahead of schedule."

Seeing Kaka's astonishing performance, Chen Ran turned around and called Guardiola who was celebrating a goal behind him.

"Josep, Kaka performed too well, he will be replaced soon."
