Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 258 Long Pain is worse than Short Pain
After Ronaldo scored the second goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Since Crystal Palace took a two-goal lead in the first half, Chen Ran did not make any substitutions and adjustments during the halftime break except for giving the players some blood.

On the Manchester United side, for some reason, Sir Alex Ferguson did not make any adjustments.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Manchester United still maintained the 433 formation to attack the Crystal Palace, which seemed a bit desperate.

However, they soon suffered from Ronaldo who was at his peak.

In 7 minutes, Crystal Palace got a free kick on the left side of the front court, and Modric sent the ball into Manchester United's penalty area with a big foot.

Now all the coaches know that Chen Ran has hoarded a group of tall players for Crystal Palace, so every time Crystal Palace gets a set ball in the frontcourt, they feel like they are facing a big enemy, and this time is no exception.

Just when Manchester United's defensive players exhausted all kinds of tricks and finally pushed the ball out of the penalty area, Alves, who was guarding outside, immediately grabbed the ball's landing point smartly, and raised his foot to volley.

At this time, Manchester United's penalty area was full of people.

The ball first touched Thiago Silva's leg, and then Sylvester's leg. After two deflections, the ball still stubbornly flew towards Manchester United's goal.

Fortunately, after the ball has been refracted twice, its strength has been much reduced, and its speed has also slowed down a lot.

Although Manchester United goalkeeper Kuzzak was caught off guard, he finally reached out and fished the ball from the goal line at the last moment.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out.

With a flying shovel shot, the ball that was just fished out by Kuzzak from the goal line was shoveled into Manchester United's net again.

"GOAL~~~~"

It's Ronaldo, it's Ronaldo again!
Before the game was over, Ronaldo had already staged a hat-trick.Crystal Palace also relied on Ronaldo's three goals to lead Manchester United 3:0.

"I'm going, what's wrong with Manchester United? Before the game is over, Crystal Palace has already scored three goals in a row? Is this still the Manchester United we are familiar with?"

The focus of this round of the Premier League game has attracted countless media reporters to watch the game on the spot.

But the current situation on the court was beyond everyone's expectations, and immediately aroused the amazement of the reporters.The reporter who spoke just now seems to be a Manchester United fan.

"Yeah, I thought it was an evenly matched contest, but I didn't expect it to be a one-sided situation."

"Is it because Crystal Palace are too strong, or is Manchester United weaker?"

"In my opinion, it's both. Crystal Palace brought in Kaka and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the summer; while Manchester United only brought in Carrick and let go of the main striker Ruud van Nistelrooy. One and the other In the long run, this is obviously incomparable."

"If Crystal Palace beat Chelsea and Manchester United in a row, no team will be able to stop them from winning three consecutive Premier League titles."

While the Crystal Palace was celebrating, on the Manchester United bench, Ferguson blushed with anger.

Every time Ronaldo scores a goal, his heart hurts once.

You know, Ronaldo almost joined Manchester United at the beginning.

It was Chen Ran, the bastard who bribed the even more bastard agent Mendes to send Ronaldo to the Crystal Palace.

Now, Ronaldo actually scored a hat-trick against Manchester United.

At this moment, both new and old hatred surged into Ferguson's heart.

"Carlos, you will be in charge of the rest of the game."

Ferguson turned his head and explained to his old partner Queiroz, turned around and returned to the bench to sit down.

"Alex, are you all right?"

Seeing the unusual behavior of his old friend, Queiroz immediately asked with concern.

"I'm fine. It's just that there are some things that need to be carefully considered. This game is up to you."

"Okay. Then you go to rest for a while, and I will support you here."

After all, Queiroz is a coach who has coached Real Madrid. Although he is only an assistant coach of Manchester United, his experience in commanding games is no worse than that of some teams' head coaches.

On Ferguson's side, the reason why he handed over the rest of the game to Queiroz's command was because he knew in his heart that this game could no longer be won.

With the strength of Manchester United's current lineup, unless they perform exceptionally, no matter how they line up, Crystal Palace will find loopholes.

In the final analysis, the strength of the team is still not enough, and there are not enough outstanding players.

And this situation, as long as the Glazer family continues to control the Manchester United club, it will be difficult to change.

Such a situation filled Ferguson, who saw the problem clearly, with a sense of powerlessness.

The bitter fruit sown by oneself will eventually be tasted by oneself.

However, sitting still is clearly not Ferguson's style.

Since it is difficult to achieve a substantial increase in Manchester United's strength in a short period of time, the only way to find a way is to weaken its competitors.

So, Ferguson thought about the Galaxy Football Group that had been making a lot of noise for a while.

For this new thing, there are too many controversies, which are very suitable for making a fuss.

Gradually, Ferguson, who was watching the game from the bench, returned to normal.

It's just that he never stood up and directed the game again.

Just when Ferguson was distracted, the game on the field was going on as usual.

In the subsequent game, Ronaldo scored another goal and staged a big four.

This time, the entire Old Trafford stadium was blown up.

This is Manchester United's home court, and they were conceded four goals in a row by Crystal Palace.

Such a large score gap made it difficult for Manchester United fans to accept it for a while.

With the boos resounding throughout the audience, many Manchester United fans started to leave early.

"My God! It's unbelievable! Manchester United fans started to leave early. This is a very rare phenomenon at Manchester United's home court."

"It seems that Crystal Palace's overwhelming lead has completely broken the psychological defense of Manchester United fans, and they can't accept it."

"Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals alone. It can be said that he defeated Manchester United by himself."

"If Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest contributor to Crystal Palace's victory over Manchester United, then Chen Ran, who moved him from the left midfielder to the forward position, is the mastermind behind the victory."

"After successive wins over Chelsea and Manchester United, Crystal Palace can be said to have basically locked up the Premier League title this season."

Seeing that the lead was big enough and there was no problem in winning the game, Chen Ran gave up as soon as he saw it and started to replace Southgate, Simeone and Pepe as substitutes.

Before the end of the game, Scholes scored a long shot, which can be regarded as saving a little face for Manchester United.

In the end, after the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Crystal Palace beat Manchester United 4:1 at Old Trafford with Ronaldo's big four.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game, and I will be rewarded with a 'Level [-] Blood Recovery Card'."

As soon as the match between Crystal Palace and Manchester United ended, thousands of miles away in China, the post bar of Crystal Palace suddenly boiled.

"Haha, winning Chelsea and Manchester United in a row, Crystal Palace's three consecutive Premier League titles are just around the corner."

"Yes, this time, Crystal Palace is six points ahead of Manchester United and seven points ahead of Chelsea. If nothing else, this season's Premier League champion Crystal Palace has basically won."

"Hey, are you a little too optimistic upstairs? We have only reached the No.20 round of the Premier League, and there are still nearly half of the games left. Let's keep a low profile first."

"You are worrying unfoundedly. With Chen Ran's commanding style, how can he leave a chance for others to overtake?"

"That's right, Ji Zeiran's nickname is not for nothing. Those who can take advantage of him are probably not born yet."

"The Ronaldo in the Crystal Palace is too good. It's amazing to be able to stage a big four against Manchester United."

"If you want me to say, the key is that Chen Ran's vision in selecting players is too poisonous. Look at the players in the Crystal Palace team. Most of them were bought by Chen Ran when they were unknown to Crystal Palace, and then they were kicked out slowly. .”

"It's really like this. Especially the players who joined Crystal Palace in the early days, all of them were unknown people at that time. Chen Ran's vision for selecting players, I can't accept it."

The direct dialogue between Crystal Palace and Manchester United, currently the top two in the Premier League, naturally attracted the attention of countless people, including two of Chen Ran's acquaintances, Tom Hicks and George Gillette.

At this moment, their negotiations to acquire the Liverpool club have come to an end, and only the last few details need to be dealt with.

If nothing else, the two of them will acquire Liverpool from David Moores for £2.2 million.

With the acquisition of the Liverpool club going well, Tom Hicks and George Gillette are now also starting to pick up football knowledge.

I don't want to become an expert, but at least I can't make some common sense mistakes, so as not to be ridiculed by these British guys as an upstart.

And the way they chose to supplement football knowledge is also very simple, that is, to watch the Premier League accompanied by football consultant Rodriguez, and ask some very naive questions about football at any time.

Today, what they chose to watch was Crystal Palace's game against Manchester United.

After seeing Ronaldo score the third goal, Tom Hicks directly picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

After waving Rodriguez away, there were only the two of them left in the room.

It's just that neither of them seems to be interested in talking.

"Tom, do you still remember about the Crystal Palace?"

After a long time, George Gillette asked.

"Have you forgotten?"

Tom Hicks glared at George Gillette angrily, and turned back directly.

"Tom, we are about to sign a contract with Liverpool now, what are we thinking about so much? This will only increase our troubles."

"I know, but it's a bit of a pity. You've seen the news, that guy Chen Ran really dares to think and act. Only half a year later, the Galaxy Football Group now has clubs from four countries."

"Yes. If we had agreed to cooperate with Chen Ran, maybe the Galaxy Football Group would have five clubs now."

Hearing Tom Hicks' exclamation, George Gillette was also full of sighs.

To be honest, they are really tempted by Chen Ran's Galaxy Football Group plan.

It's a pity that those crocodiles on Wall Street only recognize the Premier League, which caused them to miss such a good opportunity.

"Forget it, don't think so much. Once the contract is signed, we and Chen Ran's Crystal Palace will be competitors."

"Competitors? Didn't you see the game just now? The Glazer family bought it with great difficulty. Manchester United, currently ranked No. 2 in the Premier League, was beaten helplessly by Crystal Palace."

"You know, the Liverpool team we are going to buy is still more than ten points behind Manchester United. Manchester United has been beaten like this by Crystal Palace. Do you think we Liverpool are worthy of being Crystal Palace's competitors?"

Speaking of this, Tom Hicks and George Gillette suddenly lost interest in continuing.

Yes, with a huge loan of 2.2 million pounds, to acquire a team that has no strength to compete with Crystal Palace for the Premier League title.

Just thinking about it, the two Yankees feel that the future is bleak.

And if you want Liverpool to have the strength to compete with Crystal Palace, then you must invest a lot of money to introduce top stars.

Of course, it is impossible for Tom Hicks and George Gillette to pay out of their own pockets for Liverpool. The only way left is to continue to borrow.

Thinking of this, Tom Hicks and George Gillette have a feeling that they have spent huge sums of money to acquire a bottomless pit.

At this moment, the same idea emerged in the minds of the two of them by coincidence: It would be great if they chose to cooperate with Chen Ran.

Also watched the game between Crystal Palace and Manchester United, as well as Mourinho and Mendes.

Seeing the result of Crystal Palace's victory over Manchester United, Mourinho's heart can be said to be mixed.

I was disappointed that Manchester United failed to stop Crystal Palace, and I was a little happy that Manchester United lost worse than Chelsea to Crystal Palace.

"Jose, do you want me to contact you now with the team you will be coaching next season?"

In the very quiet room after turning off the TV, Mendes suddenly said this.

"Need not!"

Hearing this, Mourinho suddenly turned black with anger.

What do you mean, Mendes, you are pessimistic, I will definitely be fired by Chelsea, right?

"Ahem, Jose, frankly speaking, Crystal Palace is very strong now. Chelsea's hope of winning the Premier League this season is really not great."

Although he knew that what he said would definitely make Mourinho unhappy, Mendes decided to tell the truth.

After all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Prepare early to contact the next family, so as not to be too passive when you get there.
