Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 280 Resentment Almost Overflows
On May 5, the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, where the final of the 24-2006 UEFA Champions League will be held.

Because both sides in this Champions League final are English teams, a large number of British fans have poured into Athens in the past two days.

The Olympic Stadium in Athens can only accommodate 7 spectators, but the number of British fans who came to Athens exceeded 15, which also made the Athens police feel like a formidable enemy.

You know, the reputation of British fans is not very good, maybe they will turn into football hooligans after two glasses of wine.

Fortunately, although the two clubs, Crystal Palace and Chelsea, are both in London, they have no grudges.

Before Chen Ran and Abramovich took over, Crystal Palace had been serving as a lift between the Premier League and the Championship all year round, and Chelsea was only a mid-level team in the Premier League.Compared to those giant clubs, both of them are small players.

After Chen Ran and Abramovich took over, Crystal Palace not only won the three consecutive Premier League titles, but also won the Europa League, Champions League, European Super Cup and Club World Cup, putting Chelsea in a tight spot. Under the body.

Although they are both upstarts, in London, the fans of Crystal Palace are better than the fans of Chelsea.

Although Chelsea fans are very upset about the arrogant appearance of Crystal Palace fans, but the team's performance is not good, and their waists cannot be strengthened.

Gradually, Chelsea fans developed the habit of avoiding Crystal Palace fans.

But today, at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, when Crystal Palace and Chelsea appeared in the Champions League final at the same time, Chelsea fans seemed to see the hope of overthrowing the mountain that was pressing on their heads.

Inside and outside the stadium, the fans of the two teams sang their respective team songs and fought tit for tat, refusing to give an inch, which exhausted the security personnel maintaining law and order on the scene.

Although he is very familiar with Chelsea, an old opponent, Chen Ran still decided to attack with all his strength and show all his cards to entertain Mourinho.

Therefore, he once again gave Ronaldo the "right to fire freely" in the pre-match preparation meeting.

What was different from the past was that this time everyone didn't react as if they heard a trivial matter.

Even Ibrahimovic sat obediently in his seat without saying a word.

It seems that these guys have gotten used to it, Chen Ran murmured inwardly.

"I want to emphasize again that all the set kicks in this game will be taken by Luka Jr., and no one is allowed to grab them. Do you understand?"

Although it seemed that he was giving instructions to all the players, Chen Ran's eyes were always fixed on the two bandits, Ronaldo and Ribery.

"Ahem, I got it, boss."

"I know too."

The two guys who couldn't stand being stared at by Chen Ran had no choice but to stand up and express their views honestly.

Seeing Ronaldo and Ribery being repaired by the boss, Modric, who was very happy, sat in the corner and secretly smiled.

"Little Luca."

"To!"

Modric, who was gloating, was suddenly called by Chen Ran. He was so frightened that he thought he was snickering and the boss had spotted him, so he stood up abruptly and shouted "here" like a primary school student.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Immediately, the entire meeting room roared with laughter.

"Ahem, little Luca, relax, this is not a school."

Chen Ran also couldn't laugh or cry, and waved Modric to sit down.

"Little Luca, when you take a free kick in this game, no matter how far the distance is or how biased the angle is, you have to hit the goal directly. Do you understand?"

"Boss, is it the same as the previous two times?"

As soon as he got down to business, Modric immediately became serious, recalling Chen Ran's request to him the previous two times.

"That's right, just like the last two times."

"Okay, I see, boss."

After explaining Modric, Chen Ran turned his head to look at Ibrahimovic.

"Zlatan, if you have a chance to shoot in this game, you can hit more goals, understand?"

"Do more door opening? Understood, boss."

The corner of Ibrahimovic's mouth curled up slightly, this request was exactly what he wanted.

In order to prepare for this Champions League final, in addition to using the "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card" for Ronaldo, Chen Ran also used the "Free Kick Master Card" for Modric and the "Free Kick Master Card" for Ibrahimovic. Level [-] Sight Card".

In addition, in order to ensure that there would be no misjudgment, Chen Ran also took out the "Hawkeye Guardian Card" to add another insurance for himself.

For this Champions League final, Chen Ran did not have any reservations, and directly sent the main lineup of Crystal Palace.However, in order to deal with Chelsea's side attack, he did not choose 352 but adopted a more secure 4231.

On the Chelsea side, for Mourinho, who is ready to leave, this is also his last game in charge of Chelsea.

Whether to run away disheartened as a loser or to leave with your head held high as a winner is all in the outcome of this game.

Now, what tactical thinking, what coaching philosophy, everything is not important.

Mourinho came to Chelsea with the title of Champions League champion coach, and he also wanted to leave here as the Champions League champion coach.

Therefore, in this Champions League final, Mourinho abandoned his favorite 433 formation and arranged a 442 formation that is more suitable for Ukrainian nuclear warheads.

With the whistle of the referee, the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League final officially began.

Without any temptation, according to Chen Ran's instructions, the Crystal Palace players launched a full-scale attack from the first minute.

And Chelsea did not show any weakness, did not give an inch, and directly fought against Crystal Palace.

Because Chen Ran publicly announced at the pre-match preparation meeting that he gave Ronaldo the "right to fire freely", so the players in the Crystal Palace knew that this game was Ronaldo's peak state.

At the beginning of the game, they consciously launched an attack from the left where Ronaldo was.

On Chelsea's side, right forward Lampard is not good at speed. He plays on the wing entirely to make room for Ballack.

The right back Essien is also because Chelsea's other right backs are unreliable, so Mourinho had to move him to make up for his shortcomings.

Whether it is Lampard or Essien, their main positions are not on the wing, and they happen to be facing Cristiano Ronaldo, the sharpest attack point of the Crystal Palace, so Mourinho has very high requirements for them. Simple, it is to limit Ronaldo's performance as much as possible.

In Mourinho's plan, Chelsea's main attack direction is the same as Crystal Palace, which is also on the left.

Whether it is left forward Robben or left back Ashley Cole, they are all players with super offensive ability.

In this way, the scene of the game appeared very dramatic.

As long as the ball is in possession, both teams pass the ball to their left.

Formed a "you hit yours, I hit mine" situation.

"Boss, should we change positions of Ronaldo and Ribery, and use Ronaldo to contain the offensive of Robben and Ashley Cole?"

Seeing Robben and Ashley Cole on the left side of Chelsea playing well, Guardiola was a little worried and went to Chen Ran to come up with an idea.

Use Cristiano Ronaldo at his peak to play with Robben and Ashley Cole?Isn't this overkill?Chen Ran immediately rejected Guardiola's proposal in his heart.

"No need. Josep, tell Ribery to stop thinking about offense and go back to help Maicon strengthen his defense. Their speed is not slower than Robben and Ashley Cole, right side The two of them are enough."

"Okay, boss."

When the game progressed to No. 207 minutes, Ronaldo once again broke through with the ball from the left.

Although Lampard and Essien couldn't keep up with Ronaldo's speed, they cooperated tacitly and cooperated with each other to defend, but it didn't let Ronaldo break through easily.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not rush, but kicked the ball into Essien's leg and bounced off the sideline, getting a throw-in.

According to common sense, this sideline ball is usually run up by left back Chiellini.

But this time Ronaldo didn't wait for Chiellini, but quickly picked up the ball and threw it to Kaka who ran over from the middle to meet him, and then he started to push forward desperately.

Seeing Ronaldo's actions, Kaka understood, and immediately passed the ball back to Ronaldo with a through pass.

This time, due to Ronaldo's unexpectedly quick throw-in, Lampard and Essien's reaction was half a beat slower.

When they reacted and went to chase Ronaldo, they were already left behind.

Seeing that Ronaldo was about to dribble the ball into the penalty area, Chelsea's central defender Carvalho hurried over to defend.

Carvalho is very familiar with this teammate of the Portuguese national team. He knows that this guy is extremely capable, so he just stands in a good position and dare not approach Ronaldo at all, for fear that Ronaldo will pass him by.

Seeing Carvalho's actions, Ronaldo can of course guess the opponent's thoughts.

However, it would be embarrassing to leave such a large space for yourself.

Ronaldo flicked the ball to the right and shot directly.

At this time, his position is in the upper right corner of Chelsea's penalty area. It stands to reason that the distance here is far away and the angle is biased, so it is not suitable for hitting the goal at all.

But Ronaldo, who is at his peak, doesn't care so much, he feels omnipotent now.

I saw him take a great arc shot with his right foot, and the ball spun at high speed and flew towards the upper left corner of Chelsea's goal.

In the semi-final against Liverpool, Cudicini scored three penalties in a row. The famous Chelsea goalkeeper Cudicini saw Ronaldo's shot and moved quickly.

Cudicini's save action is not perfect, but Ronaldo's shot hit a very corner.The ball hit the inner edge of the junction between the crossbar and the left goal post with a "dang", and then bounced into Chelsea's net.

"GOAL!"

With Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, Crystal Palace lead Chelsea 1-0.

"World wave, world wave again, this is a shot that can be selected as the best goal of the year!"

"Cudicini's save was perfect, but Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was even more desperate."

"From the quick throw-in to the world wave shot, Cristiano Ronaldo directed and performed this goal himself."

"Crystal Palace lead Chelsea again in this civil war of Premier League teams."

Seeing Ronaldo's goal, the corners of Mourinho's mouth twitched slightly on the sidelines, and the resentment in his stomach was almost overflowing.

Ronaldo and him are fellow Portuguese, and the two have a common agent, Mendes, but why does this guy stab himself hard every time?
Fortunately, Chelsea's players were quite competitive, and they quickly calmed Mourinho's mood.

Less than 10 minutes after Crystal Palace scored, Chelsea attacked from the left.

Robben's breakthrough with the ball attracted Maicon's attention, at this time Ashley Cole inserted an assist from behind.

And Ribery, who was supposed to mark Ashley Cole, was not focused and started a step slower.

It was the gap of this step. After receiving the ball from Robben, Ashley Cole sent the ball into the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace before Ribery stretched out his foot to tackle the ball.

In the penalty area, Nemanja Nemanja clung to Drogba, but Shevchenko grabbed the ball in front of Thiago Silva.

"boom!"

Shevchenko's head-shaking attack was extremely powerful, Cech's reaction was already very fast, he made a save in time, and his fingertips also touched the ball.

Unfortunately, even so, it still failed to prevent the ball from flying into the Crystal Palace net.

With Shevchenko's goal, Chelsea tied the score 1:1 in the first half.

Seeing Shevchenko equalize the score, Mourinho on the sidelines excitedly ran all the way and played a sliding knee, feeling that he was more excited than Shevchenko who scored the goal.

"Isn't it just an equalizer? As for that?"

Guardiola, who saw Mourinho celebrating wildly, couldn't help muttering.

"Haha, Josep, you have to understand the anguish of a head coach who has been suppressed by our Crystal Palace all the year round."

Hearing Guardiola's complaints, Southgate couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, as if he knew Mourinho very well.

"Ahem, Gareth, you are too hurt." Simeone couldn't help but say something fair.

"I'm telling the truth. Anyway, the result of the game must be that our Crystal Palace won the championship, so it's okay to make Mourinho a little happy."

Hearing the discussions of the assistants behind him, Chen Ran was not as relaxed as they were.

However, he has enough cards in his hand, and it is only the first half of the game.

If there is any action, it is not too late to wait until the second half of the game.

After all, late strikes are his forte.
