Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 295 The Law of True Fragrance
"It seems that Martin Jol is determined to carry out the attack to the end today."

Seeing that Tottenham Hotspur continued their previous onslaught, Chen Ran was not too worried. Crystal Palace started out with defensive counterattack tactics, and this kind of scene was seen a lot.

When the game progressed to No. 308 minutes, after receiving a pass from Cesc Fabregas, Messi once again dribbled the ball towards Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area.

However, this time the Tottenham Hotspur players learned their lesson, and Huddlestone returned to the defense in time to bring down Messi.

"beep!"

The referee decisively awarded Crystal Palace a direct free kick about 30 meters away from the goal.

The location of the foul was outside the upper right corner of Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area, which was just right for Beckham's right foot to play.

Modric was not on the field, and Beckham stood next to the ball without hesitation.

After glancing at Tottenham Hotspur's goal, Beckham measured his steps back, stood still, ran up, and swung his legs.

"boom!"

A signature Bayesian arc turned extremely precisely to the upper right corner of the Tottenham Hotspur goal.

Goalkeeper Robinson tried his best to save the ball, but unfortunately he still couldn't touch the ball. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into Tottenham Hotspur's net.

"GOAL!"

Crystal Palace lead Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 with Beckham's free kick.

"A free-kick again. Whether it's Manchester United, Real Madrid or Crystal Palace, Beckham's free-kick will always make the opponent feel desperate."

"After Modric, Crystal Palace has another free-kick master Beckham this season. In the future, teams that play against Crystal Palace may not dare to foul easily."

"Tottenham Hotspur attacked for nearly half of the game, not to mention nothing, but they were scored twice by Crystal Palace. Should Martin Jol consider changing his tactics? Otherwise, Tottenham Hotspur I’m afraid there will be more goals conceded in the future.”

I don't know how the broadcast commentary commented on Martin Joel, but he is indeed a bit vague now.

Full pressure on the offense will inevitably lead to loopholes in the back line.And what he didn't expect was.The counterattack of Crystal Palace's substitute lineup is also so sharp. If this continues, Tottenham Hotspur may be tragic.

Martin Jol now realizes that he seriously underestimated the strength of Crystal Palace's bench.

How to do?
Do you make the mistake and attack to the end, or change your tactics to play a defensive counterattack and accept the result of the loss?
Just when Martin Jol was hesitating, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, giving him a precious buffer time.

During the halftime break, leading by two goals, and the game progressing smoothly, Chen Ran did not make any adjustments to the team other than giving the players blood as usual.

On the Tottenham Hotspur side, Martin Jol was finally persuaded.

Lost to Crystal Palace, the defending champion of the Champions League and three consecutive Premier League champions, no one will say anything about him, because Tottenham Hotspur's strength is not as good as the opponent.

But if Tottenham Hotspur loses to Crystal Palace by a big score, then the overwhelming criticism may make him dismissed.

Therefore, Martin Jol replaced striker Darren Bent with defensive midfielder Zokola, changing the formation from 433 to 442.

Zokola is an international player from Côte d'Ivoire, and African players have always had excellent physical fitness.And he runs aggressively and covers a great area.

Martin Jol's task after replacing him is very clear, that is to freeze Messi, the sharpest attacking point of Crystal Palace currently on the field.

And Zokora did exactly that.

Although he is not as capable as Messi in other aspects, he can always make reasonable use of his dark and hard innate advantages to deal with Messi who is just 20 years old.

In addition, the penalty scale of the referees in the Premier League is relatively loose. Many actions that have been whistled for fouls in La Liga have long been called. Here, the referee did not respond at all.

This made Messi, who had just arrived, very uncomfortable for a while.After protesting to the referee to no avail, Messi himself was a little wilted.

"Boss, Messi doesn't seem to have adapted to the penalty standards of the Premier League. Do you want to replace him first?"

Guardiola was very keen to discover Messi's current situation, and hurried to Chen Ran to propose.

After all, they were all born in Barcelona. Since Messi came to Crystal Palace, Guardiola has taken great care of this little guy.

"Don't worry, wait. It is because he is not used to it now, so he needs to play for a while. Otherwise, if Messi is replaced now, then he will never be able to adapt to the penalty scale of the Premier League. "

Chen Ran patted Guardiola on the shoulder. He also knew that this guy had a good relationship with Messi, so it was understandable that he cared about him.

"Boss, you are right, I was too anxious."

After listening to Chen Ran's analysis, Guardiola nodded slowly. He knew that Chen Ran's decision was right.This hurdle must be passed by Messi himself, and others can't help much.

Since Martin Jol replaced Zokola to strengthen the defense, although Tottenham Hotspur's offense has weakened a lot, their defense has also become much stronger.

Among Crystal Palace's current offensive players, Beckham has no breakthrough ability, let alone Jan Kohler. Messi, the only explosive point, was successfully contained by Zokola, who was replaced by Martin Jol.

For a moment, the scene of the entire game became a stalemate.

Fortunately, Crystal Palace took a two-goal lead in the first half, so Chen Ran was not in a hurry.

When the game progressed to 10 minutes, Chen Ran turned around and called Guardiola over.

"Josep, you go and inform Cavani and Dzeko to warm up, and later replace Jan Kohler and Beckham with them. The team's formation changed from 451 to 442, Messi as the midfielder, Cavani Playing with Dzeko as a double striker."

"Okay, boss."

Soon, Martin Jol saw the substitutions and changes of Crystal Palace.

"442, Messi served as the attacking midfielder, Cavani and Dzeko played double forwards. One of these three little guys is 21 years old and the other is 20 years old. It seems that the Chinese is very satisfied with the current score and is ready to stop. Start training newcomers."

After muttering something to himself, Martin Joel also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Losing to Crystal Palace with a score of 0:2, everything has been explained in the past, and it will not affect his position as head coach.

Chen Ran didn't know that Martin Joel was planning his own thoughts there. He was planning to train newcomers, but he didn't intend to stop.

Although they are both newcomers, Cavani and Dzeko are no strangers.

When the two were loaned out to Willem II, they often played together as striker partners.

Now that they finally returned to Crystal Palace to play in the Premier League, the two little guys naturally tried their best to perform.

Compared with the slightly sluggish movements of Jan Koller, who was substituted, Cavani and Dzeko were like two tigers just released from the cage, causing Tottenham Hotspur's defense to fly. Jump.

And Messi, who was moved to the front midfielder by Chen Ran, now has to face not just Zokola, but another Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, Huddlestone, also appeared on his side around.

Although Huddlestone is English, he is also a black player.Being double-teamed by two black and hard at the same time, Messi's breakthrough success rate dropped sharply immediately.

Fortunately, Messi's brain is smart enough to quickly adjust the way he plays before adapting to the referee's penalty scale.

Reduce the number of breakthroughs and pass the ball to the two forwards more.

Once, twice, three times.
When the game progressed to No. 705 minutes, Messi flicked the ball to Dzeko before getting caught in Huddlestone and Zokora's double-team, and then bypassed Tottenham Hotspur's two backs himself. The waist continues to move forward.

Seeing that Messi was still going forward after passing the ball to himself, Dzeko quickly leaned against Dawson who was defending him. Instead of stopping the ball, he shook his head and pushed the ball towards Messi who was going forward direction.

At this time, Messi has already used his speed to leave his follower Zokola behind.

Seeing Dzeko pass the ball again, Messi unloaded the ball lightly with his left foot, and then rushed the ball into the Tottenham penalty area before Dzoko pulled the ball down. inside.

At this time, Cavani, who was waiting in the penalty area, was entangled with Ledley King, who was in charge of marking him.

Both of them wanted to fight for the ball, but under mutual tugging, neither of them could jump up. They could only watch the ball pass over their heads.

Just when everyone thought the ball was going to fly out of the sideline, Dzeko, who had just finished the ball for Messi, appeared at the back point just right at this time.

"boom!"

With a dive to the top, Dzeko flew out and smashed the ball hard into Tottenham Hotspur's goal.

Dzeko is 193cm tall. He took off the ball with all his strength and jumped a bit too high.

So that he failed to head the ball directly to the goal, but hit the ground before reaching the goal, and then bounced back to Tottenham Hotspur's goal.

It was this rebound that made the ball just avoid the hand that goalkeeper Robinson stretched out to save.

Seeing the ball fly into the net from his eyes again, Robinson felt aggrieved.

"GOAL!"

With Dzeko's header, Crystal Palace lead Tottenham Hotspur 3-0.

After taking a three-goal lead, Chen Ran then replaced Thiago Silva with Pepe, allowing more substitute players to have a chance to play.

In stoppage time, Berbatov was chic again.He scored a face-saving goal for Tottenham Hotspur with a brilliant volley with a side hook.

In the end, Crystal Palace continued their strong performance by beating Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 away from the bench.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "level one blood recovery card" from the system.

Before the game ended, thousands of miles away in China, the post bar of the Crystal Palace became lively again.

"Haha, this guy Chen Ran's vision in selecting players is really undeniable. All three goals in this game were scored by new players who joined this season. The effect of this signing is really too strong."

"That's right. Especially that Messi, who scored one, assisted one, even Beckham's free kick was made by him. All three goals in this game are related to him. I see who else said Chen Ran's exchange of Ibrahimovic for Messi is a loss-making business."

"Ahem, upstairs, Messi's performance in this game is indeed good, but the new season has just begun, I think it's not too late to draw conclusions after watching a few more games."

"That's right, it's not uncommon to drive high and go low. I also think it's better to be cautious."

"What do you mean upstairs? Do you expect Messi to perform badly?"

"Absolutely not. I'm also a fan of Crystal Palace. I wish the team could be as strong as possible. It's just that after Tottenham Hotspur replaced Zokola to mark Messi, Messi's performance was not as good as before. This is me. An important reason for caution."

"That's true. Since that Zokola came on the field, the number of Messi's breakthroughs has decreased significantly."

"Don't you look at how big Zokola's moves are, and the referee didn't blow the whistle at all. I guess Messi just came from La Liga and hasn't adapted to the penalty scale of the Premier League."

"This is the crux of the problem. If Messi cannot adapt to the penalty scale of the Premier League, then he will definitely not be as helpful to Crystal Palace as Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

"What the upstairs said makes sense, it seems that we really need to observe again."

In other games in the third round of the Premier League, there is another strong dialogue that is very interesting.

Liverpool played Chelsea at Anfield and it ended in a 1-1 draw between the two teams.
Manchester United lost 0:1 to their city rivals Manchester City in the derby, and Arsenal were also tied 1:1 by Blackburn in the away game.

Several strong teams were tied or lost, and Crystal Palace immediately took advantage of the fisherman. With the advantage of goal difference, they ranked first and No.2 in the standings with Manchester City, which also won three consecutive victories.

According to the usual practice, the little fat man collected the comments from the major media after the game and brought them to Chen Ran.

Just as Chen Ran was enjoying watching those media pinching their noses and praising Crystal Palace, Stephen also came over.

"Chen, news came from the Red Bull Group that they accepted his terms and are willing to exchange two clubs, Salzburg Red Bull and New York Red Bull, for 20% of Galaxy Football Group's shares."

Stephen was all smiles, obviously very satisfied with Red Bull Group's final decision to back down.

"Oh? Really? This is really good news. I have been tossing and tossing for so long, and now I finally have a result."

Hearing the good news from Stephen, Chen Ran was also very happy.

Although he said that he didn't care if there were those two clubs, in fact he still couldn't escape the law of true fragrance.

"However, Chen, Red Bull Group has attached a condition, I wonder if you can accept it?"
