Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 273 It's So Insidious
Measure stride, step back, approach, leg swing.

"boom!"

Because it was far away from Bayern Munich's goal, Modric used all his strength.

The ball barely spun after leaving Modric's feet.First it flew to the right of the Bayern Munich goal, and then halfway through the flight, it suddenly turned to the left.

It's an elevator ball!

At this time, the elevator ball is still a rarity, and few people can kick it out.

So Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Kahn was completely defenseless against Modric's elevator ball.

When the ball just started flying to the right of the goal, Kahn had already started to move quickly to the right.

But when he moved halfway, he found that the direction of the ball's flight suddenly changed. It was too late for Kahn to turn around and drive to the left.

Although Kahn still made a tenacious save, he didn't even touch the fur of the ball. He could only watch the ball fly into Bayern Munich's net from in front of his eyes.

"GOAL!"

Crystal Palace led Bayern Munich 1-0 shortly after the opening with Modric's strange elevator ball.

"OMG! I can't blame Kahn for this conceded goal. The flight path of Modric's free kick is really weird!"

"How did this ball go in? Please play the slow motion a few more times, so that we can study it carefully."

"Remember the corner kick that Modric scored directly before? Coupled with today's direct free kick, Modric will become a master of free kicks just around the corner."

"Crystal Palace has too many excellent players, and there will always be someone who can stand up at the critical moment. And these people can be gathered in Crystal Palace. The Chinese man's vision in selecting players is really great."

On the field, Modric, who was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate, was still in a mess.

This free kick actually scored itself?And the footwork I used is still completely unknown to me. How did I kick this free kick?

In a daze, Modric suddenly remembered Chen Ran's special explanation before the game.

Could it be the boss?

But it's impossible for him to let himself kick a footwork that he hasn't mastered yet, right?
But if it wasn't the boss, then why would he allow himself to shoot directly when taking free kicks no matter how far away or how biased the angle is?
After thinking about it for a long time, Modric simply didn't want to understand it. Anyway, he only had one thought in his mind now, that is, it must be right to do what the boss said.

On Bayern Munich's side, Hitzfeld, who saw Modric scoring directly from a free kick, didn't have much reaction.

It is not uncommon to score directly from a free kick in the game. When encountering such a wonderful free kick, he can only consider himself unlucky.

Heathfield didn't think too much about this, he just asked the players to calm down, strengthen the defense in the middle, not to foul easily near the penalty area, and avoid giving Crystal Palace the opportunity to take a direct free kick.

The tactical execution of the German team is really nothing to say. As soon as Hitzfeld told him not to foul easily, Bayern Munich's defensive players immediately restrained their defensive actions.

But in this way, the threat of Kaka, who was still continuing to break through with the ball, suddenly increased.

Kaka needs body, skill, speed, and speed. He is almost a perfect offensive player.

He rushed up with the ball, if you can't bring him down immediately, it will be very difficult to stop his breakthrough.

No.303 minutes, when Kaka broke through again with the ball, Demichelis hesitated for a moment, slowed down a bit, and was easily wiped by Kaka.

Hargreaves, another defensive midfielder of Bayern Munich, did not give up and kept chasing Kaka.But he was not as good as Kaka in terms of body and speed. After pulling Kaka a few times, he was thrown farther and farther by Kaka instead.

Seeing that Kaka was about to dribble the ball into the penalty area, Bayern Munich's central defender Lucio quickly left his man-marked Zlatan Ibrahimovic and rushed to intercept.

Seeing that Ibrahimovic had a gap, Kaka did not choose to continue to break through, but passed the ball to Ibrahimovic who was vacant before Lucio stretched his feet.

At this moment, a small figure rushed towards Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It was Bayern Munich's left back Lahm.

The German players' tactical literacy is indeed high. When Lahm saw Lucio blocking Kaka's breakthrough line, he quickly retracted to fill in for Lucio to mark Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

It is a pity that Kaka passed the ball to Ibrahimovic using a pick pass.

In order to get over the head of Lucio, who is 188cm tall, Kaka's passing arc is very high.

Because Ibrahimovic is 195cm tall, Kaka is not worried that he will not be able to reach the ball.

Ram, who is only 170cm tall, was embarrassed. He rushed over and jumped high to push Kaka's pass out of the penalty area.But not only failed to reach the ball, but also made a fatal mistake of falling off the top.

Of course, Ibrahimovic will not let go of such a big gift.

With his back to the Bayern Munich goal, he first bounced the ball with his chest, and then immediately played an upside-down golden hook.

"boom!"

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's position on the ball was very accurate, and the ball flew quickly and quickly to Bayern Munich's goal.

Kahn was about to go crazy with anger, and the special meow was the world wave again!How can I guard against this?
But anger is anger, and Kahn's movements are not slow.With a leap, he threw his hand sideways and stretched his hand towards the direction where the ball was flying.

It's a pity that his movements were still a bit slow, and the ball still flew into the Bayern Munich net against his fingertips.

"GOAL!"

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic's barb scoring, Crystal Palace leads Bayern Munich 2-0.

"World wave, world wave again! As long as it is a Crystal Palace game, there will never be a lack of wonderful goals."

"First Modric scored directly from a free kick, and now Ibrahimovic scored with an upside-down golden hook. Crystal Palace is in surprisingly good form in this game. Bayern Munich is in a bad mood."

"Heathfield must find a way quickly. If Crystal Palace continues to play, then they are likely to confirm the Champions League semi-finals in the first round."

If Crystal Palace scored the first goal and Heathfield was still calm, then now that Crystal Palace has taken a 2-0 lead, he can no longer sit still.

As the game commentary said, Crystal Palace must not be allowed to win the Champions League semi-finals in this game.

If that was the case, he would probably follow in Magath's footsteps and be swept out of the house.

Turning around and looking at Bayern Munich's bench, Hitzfeld couldn't help but frowned.

None of the defensive midfielders in the team can keep up with Kaka's speed, and the only few players whose speed is not inferior to Kaka are wide players.

Thinking of this, Hitzfeld cast his sights on Ram who is now playing left back, and he suddenly had a bold idea.

Soon, after Kaka once again broke through the central defense of Demichelis and Hargreaves and threatened the goal guarded by Kahn, Hitzfeld made the decision to substitute.

He replaced right-back Sagnol with Van Bommel, who had just joined the team this season, and then raised Ram to the midfield, forming a midfield barrier with three midfielders with Van Bommel and Hargreaves.

And Demichelis dropped back, partnering with Van Buyten and Lucio to form a back three.Bayern Munich's formation has also changed from the previous 442 to the current 352.

Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity of substitutions, Heathfield also specially called Ram to the sidelines, explaining that his next task is to be responsible for marking Kaka.Kaka will go wherever he goes, and don't care about other things.

Substitutions and adjustments in the first half are rare in football matches, and Hitzfeld's move immediately attracted the attention of the Crystal Palace.

"Boss, Bayern Munich's formation is 352. Now they have set up three defensive midfielders, and they have deliberately moved the former left-back Lahm to the defensive midfielder position. It seems that they have specially arranged tactics to deal with Kaka. We should now what to do?"

After observing for 2 minutes, Guardiola quickly discovered Heathfield's intention to make substitutions and adjustments, and immediately came over to remind Chen Ran.

Chen Ran naturally noticed such a big movement in Bayern Munich.However, Crystal Palace had already achieved a 2:0 lead in the first half of the game, and the initiative was on his side, so he was not in a hurry.

"Josep, hold your breath. Heathfield moved Lahm to the center to mark Kaka. Of course, it may limit Kaka's performance."

"But he replaced Sagnol and changed to a 352 formation with three midfielders. Abandoning their usual sharp full-back assist routine may not be a good thing for us."

"After all, we are now leading 2:0. Even if the game ends with this score, it is not an unacceptable result for us."

"First observe the effect of Bayern Munich's substitutions. Even if you need to make adjustments, wait until the intermission."

Crystal Palace's two-goal lead made Chen Ran very confident. While watching the game on the field, he calmly chatted with Guardiola about his views.

"Understood, boss. This is equivalent to exchanging money. Bayern Munich restricts Kaka at the cost of sacrificing the attack of the full-backs. We are not at a disadvantage."

Under the influence of Chen Ran, Guardiola also settled down and quietly observed the effect of Bayern Munich's evolution.

Heathfield's substitution adjustment did work. Although Ram was short in stature, he was fast and extremely flexible. He stuck to Kaka's body as tightly as a dog's skin plaster, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard he tried.

With Ram's stalking, coupled with Van Bommel and Hargreaves' defense, Kaka's breakthrough success rate dropped sharply immediately.

Bayern Munich has thus gained a firm foothold, and it is no longer like before, as if Kaka will score every time he dribbles the ball.

Seeing this situation, everyone in Bayern Munich breathed a sigh of relief.

Until the end of the first half, the 2:0 score on the field did not change again.

Intermission, Crystal Palace dressing room.

Finding that Heathfield used Lahm to mark Kaka well, Chen Ran certainly wouldn't just stare like that.

"Ricciardo, we are now leading Bayern Munich 2-0. In the second half of the game, you should go down and take a rest to recharge your batteries. You will still need to start for the weekend league."

Chen Ran found Kaka and told him tactfully his decision to substitute.

"Okay, boss, everything is up to you."

Kaka performed well in the first half of the game. In addition to assisting Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal, Modric's free kick was also made by him.

If this player is replaced by a more tempered player, he will definitely be unhappy if he is replaced by the head coach during the intermission when he performs so well.

Fortunately, Kaka has a mild temper, and his relationship with Chen Ran is also very good.He and his wife Caroline would have dinner together with Chen Ran and Cheryl in private from time to time, so naturally he would not have any opinion on Chen Ran's current substitution and adjustment.

After finishing Kaka, Chen Ran turned to look at Tony again.

"Luka, how about you take a rest in the second half of the game?"

"OK, I'm fine, boss."

A big-name star like Kaka has no objection, and Tony, Chen Ran's old team, naturally has no objection either.

After comforting Kaka and Tony, Chen Ran turned to look at Alves and Evra.

"Dani, Patrice, you two will warm up in a while. The main task of the two of you after you come on the field in the second half of the game is to storm the two wings of Bayern Munich. They have no full-backs now, which is a weakness, understand? ?”

"understand!"

Hearing that Chen Ran sent him on the field, Alves and Evra couldn't wait to stand up and change their equipment.

"Little Luca, in the second half of the game, you will still play three midfielders with Yaya and Javier, but the formation on the field will change from 442 to 451. The task of organizing the offense will be given to you, and Dani will have more. Patrice passes the ball, understand?"

After explaining Alves and Evra, Chen Ran turned to look at Modric who was sitting in the corner.

"Understood, boss."

Seeing Chen Ran dispatching troops there, Guardiola, Simeone, and Southgate were busy passing glances to each other.

The meaning is clear: the boss is really insidious.

In the first half of the game, Heathfield was forced to remove the full-backs to strengthen the defense in the center. As a result, he immediately replaced two full-backs during the intermission to strengthen the side attack.

After the start of the second half of the game, Heathfield will be so angry when he sees the substitution adjustment of Crystal Palace, right?
Facts have proved that Guardiola and the others are only half right.

After seeing the substitutions before the start of the second half of the game in Crystal Palace and the positions of the players on the Crystal Palace field after the start of the second half, Heathfield, who was standing on the sidelines, did not scold his mother.

However, no matter who it is, it can be seen from Heathfield's livid face that he is in a bad mood at the moment, very bad!
