Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 250 Miracle?

"What? Boss, do you mean to change Kaka?"

Guardiola was a little dizzy. It was the first time he saw a coach complaining about the players' performance.

"That's right, Gareth, Diego, you two go warm up and get ready to play later."

While talking to Guardiola, Chen Ran also called Southgate and Simeone over.

"Okay, boss."

After hearing Chen Ran's order, Southgate and Simeone happily ran to warm up.

After the start of this season, their two nearly 37-year-old veterans have completely become substitute players for Crystal Palace, and there are not many opportunities to play.

On this point, Chen Ran had communicated with them before the start of the season, so the two of them are now focusing on the assistant coaches.

However, as two people who have never participated in the Club World Cup, of course they are also eager to play in the Club World Cup.

At the very least, it rounds out their careers.

Regarding this point, Chen Ran had already considered it for the two of them.

This kind of thing needs a suitable timing, after all, ensuring that the team wins the championship is the first priority.

The final with Brazil International is still hard to say, Chen Ran dare not joke about the Champion of the Club World Cup.

So now this semi-final is the only chance, and thanks to Kaka's hat-trick, Crystal Palace took a three-goal lead early on, and all the conditions have been met.

Therefore, Chen Ran decisively made the decision to replace them, which just happened to satisfy the wishes of the two of them.

Soon after Southgate and Simeone finished warming up, Chen Ran replaced Kaka and Vidic with them.

The formation has also changed from 4231 to 451 with three midfielders. The Crystal Palace contracted the formation and began to play their housekeeping skills to defend and counterattack.

Chen Ran's change of players immediately attracted various interpretations from commentators all over the world.

"Crystal Palace replaced Kaka, who performed a hat-trick. Is the head coach Chen Ran ready to withdraw?"

"It seems that Chen Ran, the head coach of Crystal Palace, is very satisfied with the current score on the field, replacing Kaka is to prepare for the final."

"Just over 50 minutes into the game, the head coach of Crystal Palace, Chen Ran, replaced the offensive core Kaka. It seems that he is full of confidence in winning the game."

"Replacing Southgate and Simeone, two veterans who will be 37 years old, the move of Crystal Palace coach Chen Ran is full of human touch."

"In the final stage of their careers, Southgate and Simeone stood on the field of the Club World Cup for the first time, and they are very likely to follow Crystal Palace to win the Club World Cup."

At this time, in the domestic Crystal Palace Post Bar, countless fans are also discussing Chen Ran's substitution.

"This Chen Ran is getting more and more stubborn now. He started to play defensive counterattacks in less than 10 minutes of the game."

"What do you mean by 'gou'? Do you understand that people call it judging the situation? The final will be in two days. To ensure the promotion, of course you have to save your energy."

"Yes. And he also let Southgate and Simeone, two right-hand men, come on the field to fulfill his wish to participate in the Club World Cup and buy people's hearts. It's like killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone, okay?"

"I'll go, if you don't tell me upstairs, I wouldn't have thought of this. It not only achieves the goal of saving the physical strength of the main players, but also buys the hearts of the assistants. Chen Ran is really a chicken thief."

"That is, otherwise, could his nickname be 'Ji Zei Ran'? There are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames."

"Now it seems that there is no problem for Crystal Palace to advance to the final. I look forward to the Club World Cup final two days later."

"Looking forward to +1."

"Looking forward to +2."

After the Crystal Palace took the initiative to shrink their formation, Mexico and America also pressed forward to attack for a while.

It's a pity that with the old guns on their current front line, they really don't pose any threat to Crystal Palace's defensive system with three midfielders and four defenders.

After playing the game for more than ten minutes, Chen Ran saw that Mexico and America did not have the ability to make a comeback, so he replaced Thiago Silva with Pepe, using up all the substitutions.

In the end, with Kaka's hat-trick, Crystal Palace easily won Mexico America 3:0 and joined Brazil International in the Club World Cup final.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game, and I will reward you with an 'Hawkeye Guardian Card'."

good stuff!
Seeing the rewards from the system, Chen Ran nodded in satisfaction. This thing can save lives at critical moments.

When Crystal Palace participated in the Club World Cup, the results of the draw for the Champions League round of [-] also came out.

Crystal Palace is lucky. Their opponent this time is Eindhoven, one of the traditional top three in the Eredivisie.

By the way, Huaguo player Sun Xiang is currently playing for Eindhoven.

The other three Premier League teams have also successfully advanced from the Champions League group stage. Their opponents this time are: Manchester United against the French team Lille, Chelsea against the Portuguese team, and Mourinho's old club Porto.

And Liverpool is more unlucky. They won the runner-up of the UEFA Champions League last season, and the Spanish giants Barcelona.

On December 12th, the Yokohama International Arena, the Club World Cup final, the match between Crystal Palace and Brazil International is about to begin.

Today, the Yokohama International Stadium, which can accommodate more than 7 people, is full of seats.

Even so, there are still many fans outside the stadium who have not bought tickets and are unwilling to leave.

Everyone wants to witness this game that represents the highest honor of the club competition.

For Chen Ran, the most familiar player in this Brazilian international team is the Brazilian golden boy Pato.

There were actually two players named Adriano, but after careful research, Chen Ran was sure that it was not the Adriano he knew well. As for the others, they were all players who hadn't played well in their previous lives.

However, this Brazilian international team was able to defeat Ronaldinho's Barcelona at its peak to win the Club World Cup in the previous life. Just for this, Chen Ran did not dare to take it lightly.

For this reason, Chen Ran did not adopt the 352 formation with the strongest attack power.Instead, he decided to focus on stability and adopted a 442 twin tower tactic.

"Hello, viewers, this is XXX TV station. Welcome to the 2006 FIFA Club World Cup Final, where Crystal Palace from England played against the international team from Brazil."

Similar opening remarks were broadcast from TV sets all over the world.

With the whistle of the referee, the much-anticipated game officially began.

Whether it is Chen Ran of Crystal Palace or Braga of Brazil International, their attitude towards this game is surprisingly consistent, and they all focus on stability.

As a result, the offensive battle that the fans were looking forward to naturally did not appear.

"Huh? Why did Crystal Palace play so conservatively today?"

In the post bar of the Crystal Palace in China, countless Crystal Palace fans who followed the game were pouring water while watching the game.

I am used to seeing the scene where Crystal Palace used the strongest attacking formation of 352 to cut melons and chop vegetables everywhere. The sudden change in painting style made many young fans feel a little uncomfortable.

"Nonsense, this game is the final of the Club World Cup after all, Chen Ran is such a 'dog' guy, he must focus on stability."

"That's right. I guess Chen Ran is not familiar with Brazil International, the champion of the Copa Libertadores, so he adopted a relatively conservative plan. I don't think there is any problem with this."

"I agree with the above opinion. First test the depth of Brazil International. If the opponent's strength is average, there is still time to change the attack in the second half of the game."

"That's right. Didn't you see that Kaka and Modric, the two core offensive players of Crystal Palace, are sitting on the bench. Chen Ran is such a rogue guy, obviously he has left behind."

"Hey, it seems that the good show is in the second half of the game. I can see how many goals Brazil International will score."

"I bet two."

"I'll go, who do you look down on? At least three goals."

"I bet four."

"Bosses upstairs, are you serious? Can Crystal Palace score four goals in halftime?"

"everything is possible."

Due to the requirements of the head coaches of the two teams, the two teams invested very limited troops when attacking, and naturally did not cause any too threatening shooting opportunities.

As a result, the first three and 10 minutes of the much-anticipated Club World Cup final kicked the audience to sleep until
No.301 minutes, Brazil International got a free kick on the right side of the front field near the sideline.

Edinho sent the ball into the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace. Fernandao grabbed the header and scored the goal. Cech blocked the ball with a sideways throw.

Pato, who has just turned 17 this year, reacted very quickly. Before everyone else, he stretched out his foot and poked the ball towards the goal of Crystal Palace.

And Cech, who had just finished making a save, had no time to react, and could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the Crystal Palace net.

To everyone's surprise, it was Internacional who scored first.

"Fuck! What's going on? The Crystal Palace is actually behind?"

With Pato's goal, the post bar of Crystal Palace exploded instantly.

"What are the defenders of the Crystal Palace doing? They let a 17-year-old score a goal."

"That's right. Are these guys underestimating the enemy? Seeing that they are underage, they don't take their opponents seriously."

"I guess it's like this in nine out of ten cases. It's useless. Chen Ran specially arranged four guards, but it turned out to be useless."

"Damn it, I knew it would be like this. Chen Ran might as well have been on the offensive from the very beginning. With the offensive strength of the Crystal Palace, he might have taken the lead by now."

"Don't worry upstairs. It's just one goal behind. It's still early, and it's not too late for Crystal Palace to change."

Just when the fans were furious, Chen Ran on the sidelines was also pale.To be honest, being scored by the Brazilian international was indeed a bit beyond his expectation.

"Boss, what shall we do now? Are we still proceeding according to the original plan?"

Seeing a breakthrough in the situation on the field, Guardiola hurried over to ask for instructions.

"No more. You tell Kaka and Modric to warm up now, and replace Yaya Toure and Maicon with them later. The team changes to 352 and goes all out to attack."

"clear."

Just when Guardiola went to greet Kaka and Modric to warm up, the live TV commentators who saw these changes on the field also began to express their views.

"Everyone, don't worry. Brazil International is only leading by one goal. It is not too difficult for Crystal Palace. As long as Crystal Palace starts to attack, it will not be difficult to get back a goal or even overtake the score."

This is a commentary from the Huaguo Sports Channel, and the words are clearly biased towards Chen Ran's Crystal Palace.

"Look, as soon as Brazil International scored a goal, the head coach of Crystal Palace, Chen Ran, immediately asked his assistant coach Pep Guardiola to call Kaka and Modric on the bench. Obviously, Crystal Palace is going to attack. .”

"Haha, it seems that Inter Brazil's goal forced the head coach of Crystal Palace, Chen Ran, to make an early move."

"Our only 17-year-old golden boy Pato forced Chen Ran, the head coach of the European champion Crystal Palace, to give up the tactics he formulated before the game."

"Although Brazil International scored the first goal, it is still unknown whether Brazil International will be able to hold this weak lead once Crystal Palace attack with all their strength."

Soon, Yaya Toure and Maicon were replaced by Kaka and Modric after the warm-up.

The situation on the field immediately changed drastically.

Although the Crystal Palace, which has changed to 352, now has one less defender, the entire formation has begun to actively press forward.Wave after wave of offensives surged towards Brazil International's defense.

On the Brazil International side, the head coach Braga naturally took into account the substitutions and adjustments made by the Crystal Palace.

He knew in his heart that Crystal Palace was going to attack in an all-out way.The test of the Brazil international has only now really begun.

Benefiting from the live broadcast of the Premier League all over the world, Braga can easily collect the game video of Crystal Palace.

Of course, he has conducted repeated and careful research on this opponent.

Frankly speaking, when Braga watched the video of the Crystal Palace game, his heart was blown.

Because he found that the Crystal Palace team has almost no weaknesses.

The offense is sharp, and the defense is even more special. How can such a team play?
At that moment, Braga was in despair.

He feels that unless there is a miracle, it will be difficult for Brazil International to beat Crystal Palace.

Miracle?

Thinking of this, Braga seemed to have a sudden enlightenment.

Yes, he really figured out a way.

That is, he ran to the church he hadn't been to for a long time and prayed devoutly to God.

Pray for a miracle, so that Brazil International can beat Crystal Palace.

Now, a miracle seems to have really happened?
