Chapter 293 The First Connection of "Peerless Twins"

I saw Messi turn around, block the rushing Dragutinovic with his back, first bump the ball from Modric with his chest, and then lightly flick it with his right foot before the ball hits the ground. .

The ball just passed over Dragutinovic's head, and Messi himself quickly turned around the caught-off Dragutinovic and rushed towards Sevilla's penalty area with the ball.

Seeing a loophole in the defense on the left, Sevilla's central defender Mosqueira hurried over to make up for it.

The frequency of Messi's movements was extremely fast, and before Mosqueira could gain a firm footing, with a flick of his left foot, the ball passed between Mosqueira's legs.

At this time, Paulson, who came back from the defensive midfielder to make up the defense, also arrived in time.After seeing Mosqueira being passed through Messi's crotch, Paulson rushed straight up with a flying shovel.

Messi picked up the ball lightly first, and then he himself jumped nimbly, dodged Paulson's flying tackle, and dribbled the ball into the Sevilla penalty area.

At this time, another Sevilla central defender Boulah Luz had to give up Tony, who was in charge of marking him, and rushed to intercept Messi.

After Messi saw Tony's gap, he didn't choose to continue passing. Instead, with a flick of his ankle, he rubbed the ball over Boulahrouz's head and passed it to Tony.

To say that Juan Ramos' coaching ability is really good. Under his training, the Sevilla players have done a very good job of assisting defense.

Just as Boulahrouz went to defend Messi, right back Hinkle also rushed over in time to replace Boulahrouz to mark Tony.

It's a pity that Hinkle's height is only 180CM, and the arc of Messi's pass to Tony, who is 193CM tall, is very high.Even if Hinkle jumped up in front of Tony from behind to fight for the top, he barely got a little bit of the ball.

However, it was Hinkle's light touch that prevented Tony from hitting the ball.

Just when the Sevilla players breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, a figure rushed out from the wing.

"boom!"

I saw that this person didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground, but just shot angrily at the ball.

It's Ronaldo!
The right back Hinkle, who was in charge of marking Ronaldo, ran to the center to defend Tony, but no one went to defend Hinkle.

This time, how could the unmarked Ronaldo be polite?
Rushing into the Sevilla penalty area is a shot from the air.

Ronaldo's shot hit the ball very accurately. The ball was flat and fast. The goalkeeper De Sanctis had no time to react. As soon as he made the move, the ball flew into Sevilla's net.

"GOAL!"

Messi passed the ball, Ronaldo scored, and the "Peerless Twins" scored the first goal together in a historic joint.

Nearly seven and 10 minutes into the game, Crystal Palace finally broke the deadlock, leading Sevilla 1-0.

"Wow, the newcomer Messi that Crystal Palace traded for Zlatan Ibrahimovic finally exploded."

"First he dribbled the ball, then dribbled through the crotch, and then avoided the opponent's shovel. It seems that Messi's ability to dribble is very strong."

"No wonder the Chinese would exchange Ibrahimovic for Messi. This little guy really has something."

"I expect this Messi to bring us more surprises."

At this time, on the bench of Sevilla, head coach Juan Ramos could no longer sit still.

After winning most of the game, Crystal Palace seized the opportunity to score the goal, and the next game will be difficult to play.

The competition system in which the championship is determined in one game means that it is meaningless for Sevilla to continue to defend.

But if he presses out to attack, the shadow of last year's European Super Cup once again floated on Juan Ramos' mind.

Looking back at the players sitting on the bench, Juan Ramos stopped his gaze on the Ivorian striker Kone who just joined the team from PSV Eindhoven this summer.

Take a gamble?
Soon, Juan Ramos, who made up his mind, replaced the left midfielder Adriano with Kone, and then changed the team's formation to 433.

Canoute was the centre-forward, Kone the left-winger and Fabiano the right-winger.

As for the situation of left back Dragutinovic, Juan Ramos didn't miss it.

However, for a second-tier team like Sevilla, the depth of the bench is limited, and there is no way to guarantee that there are two players of comparable strength in every position.

The strength gap between Sevilla's substitute left-back and Dragutinovic is a bit big, and Juan Ramos is really worried.

So he had no choice but to let Dragutinovic continue to insist, and at the same time asked the midfielder Paulson to come back more to help the left defense.

Seeing Juan Ramos' substitutions and adjustments, but Chen Ran didn't respond, Guardiola couldn't help but come over again.

"Boss, Sevilla has now become a three-forward formation. We only have three defenders, one of whom is responsible for marking a forward, and there is no one to help defend and fill the position. Is it too little?"

"It doesn't matter. Although the three strikers of Sevilla are good, none of them is the kind of top striker who can change the result of the game by himself."

"And our three defenders have been trained in various competitions in the past few years, and they are more than enough to deal with these forwards."

"What's more, after Sevilla presses forward to attack now, the loopholes in the rear have become larger. It is a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. At this time, we must go all out to secure the victory. Understand?"

"That's it, I understand."

As Chen Ran judged, after Juan Ramos replaced left midfielder Adriano with striker Cone, Sevilla's midfield barrier became weaker and weaker.

If it was said that when Adriano was on the court before, he could return to the defense from time to time to help Dragutinovic, now Dragutinovic can only count on Paulson.

But in the middle, Kaka's threat is equally huge.

As long as Paulson came back from the midfield to help defend Dragutinovic, Messi immediately passed the ball to Kaka in the middle.

And Kaka's ability to break through with the ball can't be prevented by Keita alone.

When the game progressed to No.80 two minutes, a similar situation reappeared. Messi passed the ball to Kaka before Dragutinovic and Paulson double-teamed.

Seeing Keita coming up to steal, Kaka didn't play any tricks, just moved the ball forward, and directly competed with Keita for speed.

In terms of speed, Keita is Kaka's opponent.In order not to let himself be thrown away by Kaka, Keita pulled and pulled, trying to prevent Kaka from breaking through with the ball.

It's a pity that Kaka is not only fast, but also has good physical fitness. Keita didn't even pull a few times, but Kaka gradually pulled him away.

Since the current position is in the middle, Keita remembered what the head coach Juan Ramos repeatedly explained before the game, not to leave Crystal Palace a chance to take a free kick at the front of the penalty area, which also made Keita let go of whether it was a foul Kaka hesitated for a moment.

With just such a hesitation, Kaka has already rushed out of Seville's restricted area.

At this time, central defender Mosqueira saw that the situation was not good, and hurried forward to block Kaka's advancing route.If you let Kaka continue to rush down, you will have to face goalkeeper De Sanctis directly.

With Mosqueira in the front and Keita in the back, Kaka was about to fall into a double-team situation. Kaka made a decisive decision and flicked the ball to the front right, followed by a volley.

"boom!"

The ball flew towards the upper left corner of Sevilla's goal like a cannonball. Goalkeeper De Sanctis reacted quickly and jumped up, touching the ball with his fingertips.

"when!"

It was this touch, the ball that changed direction slightly, hit the crossbar of Sevilla heavily, and bounced back to the center of the penalty area.

Seeing the ball flying to his position, Tony, who reacted quickly, and Boulahrouz, who was in charge of marking him, jumped at the same time to compete for the top.

At this time, the advantage of height is reflected.

Tony is 193cm tall and Beolarouz is 183cm tall.

The difference of ten centimeters allowed Tony to easily grab the spot and head the ball towards Sevilla's goal.

At this time, De Sanctis, who had just made a save, had not had time to return to his position, and could only watch the ball fall into the net from in front of him.

"GOAL!"

Kaka broke through and hit the crossbar with a shot. Tony grabbed a point and scored a supplementary shot. Crystal Palace led Sevilla 2:0.

As soon as the second goal was scored, Sevilla's coach Juan Ramos and the players below were immediately discouraged.

Because they all know that the strength of Crystal Palace is higher than that of Sevilla.If there is only one ball gap, everyone can fight to get it back.

But now two goals behind, and only 10 minutes left in the game.It's almost impossible to come back.

However, Juan Ramos did not intend to give up just yet.

He called the Belgian striker De Moore, who had just been introduced this summer, from the bench, and then replaced Fabiano with him.

On the Crystal Palace side, as soon as Tony scored the second goal, Chen Ran called Guardiola, who was celebrating, to his side.

"Josep, inform Alves to warm up, and then replace Toni with him to play right back. The formation becomes 442, with Ronaldo and Messi playing double forwards."

"clear."

Watching Guardiola turn around to carry out his order, Chen Ran was full of anticipation.

Using Cristiano Ronaldo as a center forward and Messi as a shadow forward to match the striker line has always been his idea.Just use the last 10 minutes of today's game time to see how the effect is.

As Chen Ran used up the last substitution quota, Crystal Palace now has four defenders on the field and three defensive midfielders are responsible for defense.The offense is all handed over to the midfielder Kaka, forward Ronaldo and Messi.

Carmelo's offensive combination, this fantasy combination that only appears in dreams, officially debuted in the last 10 minutes of this European Super Cup.

It's a pity that Ronaldo and Messi, who are still a little immature, are obviously not quite used to the new position and partner.In the last 10 minutes of the game, no goals were scored.

In the end, with the goals of Ronaldo and Tony, Crystal Palace defeated Sevilla with a score of 2:0 and successfully defended the UEFA Super Cup.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the UEFA Super Cup, and a bonus of 1000 million euros for the champion."

When Chen Ran led the Crystal Palace team to participate in the UEFA Super Cup awards ceremony, thousands of miles away in China, Crystal Palace fans were still discussing the just-concluded match enthusiastically on the post bar.

"Let me just say, Crystal Palace will definitely have no problem winning the title."

"That's right, if you can't even deal with a Sevilla, that guy Chen Ran can get out of class."

"Ahem, upstairs, you haven't forgotten that Ji Zeran is not only the head coach of Crystal Palace, he is also the owner of the club, right?"

"Hahahaha, that guy absolutely forgot that Chen Ran is still the team owner."

"Haha, I'm sorry, I really forgot about this. However, judging from the performance of that little guy Messi on the court today, the strength is still very good, not to mention comparable to Ibrahimovic, at least It's not parallel imports."

"It shouldn't be compared together. One of Temiao's height is nearly two meters, and the other is less than 1.7 meters tall. The two are completely different types of players, so they are compared together because of the blindness of the ball."

"What the upstairs said makes sense. Judging from the performance of this game, at least this Messi's ability to break through with the ball is still outstanding."

"Hey, hey, are you drawing conclusions too early? I don't think it's too late to judge based on the performance of just one game. It's not too late to evaluate after at least half the season."

"That's right, and we can't just look at the performance of the individual, but also whether he can contribute to the team. Anyway, I think that no matter how strong a wing player is in breaking through, there is no threat to the opponent's goal from a powerful center forward." big."

"Upstairs, are you a bit too absolute? Then Ronaldo is also a wide player. Does he pose a small threat to the opponent's goal?"

"Ahem, in fact, according to Ronaldo's physical fitness, he can be trained as a center forward. I think Chen Ran also has the same meaning. In the last 10 minutes today, he and Messi were put together as a forward partner."

"I'll go upstairs, you seem to have discovered the top secret of the Crystal Palace."

"What? What secret did I discover?"

"That guy Chen Ran is experimenting with a new striker configuration."

"You mean Ronaldo and Messi? Come on, don't you see that neither of them are comfortable with themselves?"

"Hehe, so it's an experiment. It's normal for a partner to not get used to it for the first time."

"Upstairs is the keyboard coaching staff, the appraisal is complete."

"Keyboard coaching staff +1."

"Keyboard coaching staff +2."

London, Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran looked through the newspapers and magazines brought by the little fat man in a good mood.

Although the European Super Cup is not a heavyweight championship trophy, after Crystal Palace successfully defended the European Super Cup, the public opinion of the outside world is no longer overwhelmingly pessimistic about the results of the new season of Crystal Palace.

"Chen, the shortlist for this year's Ballon d'Or has come out. This time we have more players selected by Crystal Palace than last year. How about it? Do you want to do some public relations? I think Ronaldo and Kaka have great hopes, but it's a pity that Ibrahim Movic has already moved to Barcelona, ​​otherwise we might have won the top three."
