Chapter 29 The Ideal Opponent

The next day, Chen Ran's news appeared on the pages of many media again.

"Crystal Palace beat Burnley with four goals and got a good start to the season, ranking first in the Championship standings."

"The novice coach Chen Ran won the first official game of his career, and he boasted that being promoted to the Premier League is only a small goal."

"Chen Ran, is this another talented coach?"

"The art of war that has been passed down for thousands of years in Huaguo has appeared in the British Championship."

"Chen Ran played the Burnley manager around."

"Also without a prominent career experience, will Chen Ran be the next Mourinho?"

"There is reason to believe that it is only a matter of time before Chen Ran becomes a world famous coach like Ferguson and Wenger."

These media reporters tried their best to deceive Chen Ran's previous warm-up match with smoke bombs, and successfully deceived Burnley coach Stan Tennert into making a wrong formation.

Then, after waiting for Stan Tenate to make an error-correcting action during the game, he changed back to his previous tactics.

The thing about playing Stan Tennert twice in one game was added to add fuel and vinegar, and it was so exaggerated that it almost made a story about storytelling.

Due to the great momentum, Burnley coach Stan Tennert hid himself and dared not see anyone.

All of a sudden, Chen Ran's popularity hit a new high, and he seemed to be synonymous with a talented coach.

However, in fact, Chen Ran just led the team to play an official game.

Damn, exaggeration, this is blatant exaggeration!

Chen Ran's life is also difficult now, the apartment he rented has already been surrounded by paparazzi.

It made him draw the curtains tightly during the day, and if he wanted to see the outside situation, he could only stand on the side of the curtains and quietly look out from the gap.

I don't know, I thought he was filming a spy war drama.

As long as he and Cheryl go out now, they will be stared at to death, and they will never be spared.

Fortunately, the season has already started, and now Chen Ran is basically going from home to the training base, two points and one line.

The daily training content he arranged, in addition to reviewing Simeone's tactics and Southgate's tactics, also began to allow Guardiola to slowly instill new styles of play into the players.

Facts have proved that it is not an easy task for players to master three completely different tactics at the same time.

Chaos, as expected.

Moreover, it was more serious than when Chen Ran asked the players to practice tactical switching, and he was so frightened that he quickly stopped Guardiola's tactical drill.

Now that the season has started, winning is the most important thing.

Many of Chen Ran's plans are waiting for the system's winning bonus to be implemented, and he doesn't want to lose a lot because of a small one.

"Josep, your tactical style of play is too demanding, and you have seen the situation of the players. Now that the season has started, we can't make too many adjustments, otherwise it may affect the team's performance."

"Then I won't practice this set of tactics?"

Hearing Chen Ran's words, Guardiola was a little frustrated.But he can also understand Chen Ran's decision, after all, the team's performance is the most important thing.

"It's not that you don't practice, but you can only practice slowly. In this way, starting tomorrow, after Simeone's tactics and Southgate's tactics are practiced, you will lead the players to practice passing and cutting cooperation."

"Let's lay a solid foundation first, and then you break down your tactics into several parts, and we train in stages. After one part is practiced well, we start to train the next part."

"I believe it will be much easier to let the players adapt to your tactics after each part is proficient. What do you think?"

"Huh? This is indeed a good idea."

Guardiola's eyes lit up when he heard it, but the boss's head was smart.

This is like building a ship. It is built in sections first, and then assembled together at the end, which greatly improves the efficiency.

"Boss, you are right, let's do this."

After Chen Ran solved the biggest problem, Guardiola was refreshed.

The depressed mood just now disappeared, and he was full of fighting spirit again.

A week later, Chen Ran ushered in the second round of the English Championship.

Crystal Palace host Watford.

Chen Ran didn't send surprise soldiers this time, but still sent the twin tower combination of Tony and Crouch.

Of course, Watford's coach has learned the lesson of Burnley, and their strength is not as good as Crystal Palace, so Watford simply sent a lineup of five defenders, retreating behind and playing a defensive counterattack.

Crystal Palace's Guardiola tactics have not been well practiced, and there is really no good way to deal with this kind of iron barrel formation.

Fortunately, with the twin towers, under the constant delivery of shells from Ronaldo and Ribery, Tony finally scored a header in the 74th minute.

In the end, Crystal Palace beat Watford 1-0.

In addition to gaining three points, another 100 million euros was obtained.

After the game, those good British media began to advocate the two consecutive victories of Crystal Palace, Chen Ran is a talented coach and other remarks.

Chen Ran didn't bother to talk to him at all. His current thoughts were all on his next opponent, Wimbledon, known as the "Crazy Gang".

This is Crystal Palace's first away game this season and also Chen Ran's first away game in his coaching career.

Speaking of Wimbledon, there is also a long history with the Crystal Palace.

For many century-old clubs in the UK, old facilities are a common problem.

When the FA promulgated the rule that the stadium must be fully seated, Wimbledon's original home court could not be remodeled to meet the FA's requirements.

Therefore, Wimbledon came to share Selhurst Park with Crystal Palace. This use lasted for 12 years, and it was not moved until three years ago.

However, real estate prices in London have always remained high. How can a small club like Wimbledon afford to build a new stadium?

So, Wimbledon's bosses decided to move the team to Milton Keynes, a satellite town north of London.

This time, it annoyed the Wimbledon fans.

Can a team that leaves the Wimbledon area still be considered a Wimbledon team?
As a result, Wimbledon fans reorganized a new AFC Wimbledon.

The Wimbledon team, which moved to Milton Keynes, was completely abandoned by the fans.

However, all of this, for Chen Ran, is good news.

You know, Wimbledon back then had the nickname of "Crazy Gang", it was a team that dared to go head-to-head with any strong team.

The style is tough and the style of play is fierce.

As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Even for those giant teams, it was a headache to meet Wimbledon.

However, since Wimbledon moved, lost the support of the fans, that energy seems to have dissipated.

Coupled with the financial crisis, Wimbledon has dropped from the Premier League to the British Championship all the way, and the downward trend still has no end in sight.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

For Chen Ran, who is playing away for the first time, this is the best opponent.
