Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 299 "The Blind Man of the Premier League" Turns Over
One stone caused a thousand waves, because the Red Bull Group's shareholding made the Galaxy Football Group, which was originally only known to some insiders, now completely out of the circle.

Especially among many people who are not fans, when they heard that this group owns six football clubs across four continents, and among them, the Crystal Palace Club is the most popular team in the world in recent years, they all left unclear I feel really awesome.

Even Chen Ran, the boss of the Galaxy Football Group, suddenly became a big boss in the eyes of many people.

"Haha, big boss, are you in a good mood recently?"

In the Crystal Palace Club, in Chen Ran's office, the little fat man teased Chen Ran with a mean smile.

"roll!"

Chen Ran unceremoniously gave him a middle finger, then turned to look at David Jill who was sitting on the sofa.

"David, I still have to work hard on you. The reception work of the two clubs Salzburg Red Bull and New York Red Bull still requires you, the CEO of the Galaxy Football Group, to come forward in person."

"Boss, these are my duties. Don't worry, I will handle them well."

As a newly joined member, David Gill naturally couldn't be as casual as the little fat man. When he saw Chen Ran assigning himself a task, he immediately sat up straight from the sofa.

"Well, stability is the main priority when accepting. As long as the original club staff don't find any problems, try to keep them as much as possible. However, if you find any problems, you must not be soft-hearted, and you can deal with them as you like. Understand ?"

"Okay, boss, I see."

After the cooperation with Red Bull Group was finalized, Chen Ran also put his energy back on Crystal Palace.

Because after the end of this national team match day, Crystal Palace's new season's UEFA Champions League and English League Cup matches will start, plus the Premier League, it is another devil's schedule.

Crystal Palace's grouping in the UEFA Champions League this season is not bad. The opponents in the same group include the Bundesliga powerhouse Schalke 04, the La Liga powerhouse Valencia, and the Norwegian team Rosenberg. There is no big problem in qualifying for the group.

On September 9, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Newcastle United at home;

On September 9, the first UEFA Champions League group match, Crystal Palace played at home against the Norwegian team Rosenberg;
On September 9, in the seventh round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Arsenal;
On September 9, in the third round of the English League Cup, Crystal Palace played at home against South Allianz;

On September 9, the eighth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Bolton at home;
On October 10th, the second game of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Crystal Palace will go to an away game against Valencia;

On October 10, in the ninth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go to an away game against Reading.

There are seven games to be played in 21 days, an average of one game in three days, including the Champions League away game to Spain.

Although Chen Ran has gradually adapted to the abnormality of the FA's schedule over the past few years, he still couldn't help but curse again in his heart.

Although there were no club matches for two weeks, the national team matches after a long-distance flight consumed more players.

Looking at the listless look of the players who had returned to the team on the training ground, Chen Ran also frowned, and then turned to look at Guardiola beside him.

"Josep, hasn't the team doctor's physical examination report come out yet?"

"Boss, Gareth has gone to urge you, please wait a little longer."

Guardiola also knew why Chen Ran was worried. He didn't even dare to arrange normal training without knowing the physical condition of the players. Now he can only let Simeone take the players for a jog to relax.

"Boss, the report is out."

With a familiar voice coming from his ear, Chen Ran saw Southgate running towards him from a distance, waving the test report in his hand.

"Gareth, just tell me the result."

While receiving the report, Chen Ran asked Southgate about it.

"According to the test results, the team doctor's suggestion is that it is best not to allow players who are physically tired to enter the starting lineup to avoid injuries."

After quickly flipping through the test report, Chen Ran's face turned dark.

Good guy, almost most of the main players are in a state of physical fatigue. The head coaches of those national teams are really ruthless when using players.

In desperation, Chen Ran had no choice but to send a starting lineup dominated by substitute players in the game against Newcastle United.

As for Newcastle United, the current head coach Allardyce is also an old acquaintance of Chen Ran.The two have played against each other many times since Crystal Palace was still a Championship team.

However, no matter which team Allardyce coaches, so far, he has never taken advantage of Chen Ran.

The Newcastle United team that Allardyce is now coaching is the strongest team in his coaching career.

In this year's summer transfer period, Newcastle United spent 900 million euros to buy England striker Alan Smith from Manchester United, another 850 million euros to introduce England midfielder Button from Manchester City, and 430 million euros from Paris Saint-Germain. Mann bought Czech central defender Rozenal.

In addition, they also used free transfers to introduce Australian striker Viduka from Middlesbrough, Cameroonian gold medal Gremi from Chelsea, and Brazilian central defender Kacapa from Lyon.

In addition to the original Owen, Duff, Martins, Milner, Emre, Given, Butt, Babayaro, Ameobi, Nzobia and other powerful players.Let Allardyce have the confidence to wrestle with Chen Ran again when he meets Crystal Palace this time.

The game started with sparks from the first minute. The Newcastle United midfielder, composed of Emre, Barton and Milner, made up for the lack of ability by running hard and fighting fiercely. Crystal Palace played back and forth, without losing the wind.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace, neither Cesc Fabregas nor Beckham is the kind of player who does dirty work, let alone Messi.

The only Yaya Toure who is close in terms of physical fitness is actually a B2B midfielder with both offensive and defensive capabilities.And the real ruthless Vieira and Mascherano are still sitting on the bench to rest.

"Boss, the hardness of our midfielder seems to be a bit lacking now, should we replace Vieira or Mascherano with them to suppress it?"

Guardiola, who soon discovered the problem, immediately approached Chen Ran to propose.

The problem that Guardiola has discovered, of course Chen Ran has also seen it.

It's just that the game has just started less than 10 minutes. If you change players now, it will lose the meaning of letting the players rotate and rest.In case these physically tired players get injured again, it will be even more harmful than the gain.

"Don't worry, wait for a while. According to Newcastle United's current playing style, their physical fitness simply cannot last for nine or ten minutes."

"I guess that Allardyce just wanted to grab the start. After 10 minutes of the game, they will most likely return to their normal game rhythm."

Guardiola pondered Chen Ran's judgment in his mind, and found that it was really like what Chen Ran said, the Newcastle United team is running and fighting like crazy dogs now, and it is impossible to last.

It turned out that the boss is the boss, and he found the other party's flaws at a glance.

At the same time, on the Newcastle United bench, Allardyce was also nervously watching the situation of the game.

Just as Chen Ran expected, his strategy today was to grab the opening game and catch Crystal Palace by surprise.

Because Allardyce knew very well in his heart that if Crystal Palace really opened up their posture and competed one by one, Newcastle United would definitely not be the opponent of Crystal Palace.

Therefore, in order to win this game, there is only one way to win by surprise.

However, Allardyce also knew that the current style of play would consume too much physical energy of the players, so he set himself the same time as Chen Ran judged, which was 10 minutes.

5 minute, 10 minutes, 15 minutes
The game time passed quickly as Allardyce looked down at his watch again and again.

Just when he walked to the sidelines, ready to greet the players to recover their formation and honestly play a defensive counterattack.

Under the interference of Alves, Duff on the left still passed the ball to the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace.

Under Vidic's close pressing, Viduka had no way to head the ball directly, so he had to ferry the ball to Owen, who was not far from him.

Seeing the ball flying towards his position, Owen immediately soared into the air, wanting to make a volley side hook.

At this time, Pepe, who was in charge of marking Irving, also stretched out his feet, trying to block Irving's shot.

"what!"

Only a scream was heard, and Owen fell heavily from the air to the ground.

It turned out that Pepe's long legs hit the ball first.

And Irving's foot that wanted to shoot did not hit the ball, but kicked on the spikes on the sole of the foot that Pepe stretched out to block.

This time it was a blast, whether it was the Newcastle United players or the Crystal Palace players, they all rushed to the place where the incident happened.

"beep!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the referee rushed over to separate the players from both sides.

On the sidelines, seeing Chen Ran who had an accident with Pepe again, he was speechless. When will this guy make him feel more at ease?
However, now is not the time to think about these things.

Glancing at the referee on the field, he was still an acquaintance. He had whistled Clattenburg in the Chinese Super League in his previous life.

The current Clattenburg is still very young and has just been promoted to an international referee this year.

Just in case, Chen Ran turned on the system silently and quietly used an "Hawkeye Guardian Card".

For the rest, we can only pray that Pepe really didn't foul.

At this time, with the help of the assistant referee, Clattenburg finally appeased the players on both sides.The Newcastle United team doctor is also treating Owen who is still lying on the ground.

To say that Irving, a once talented striker, is also ill-fated. Successive injuries have turned him from England's hope to an ordinary star now.

Soon, the Newcastle United team doctor made a substitution gesture to Allardyce on the sidelines.

"Fxxxxk!"

Allardyce spoke unabashedly on the sidelines, and then called Martins from the bench to warm up.

Meanwhile, Clattenburg on the field made a shocking call.

After Owen was carried off the pitch, he awarded the ball to Newcastle United, but it was not a penalty.

Because the ball was stabbed by Pepe just now, and then kicked out of the sideline by Van der Sar with a big kick.

So, now it's Newcastle United's throw-in.

This time, the players of the Newcastle United team were blown up again.

They originally thought that even if Pepe was not given a red card, a penalty and a yellow card would still not be able to escape.

As a result, not only is there nothing wrong with Pepe, but there is also no penalty kick.

Can this kind of thing be tolerated?

Coupled with the fact that Clattenburg is still an unknown young referee, the players of Newcastle United immediately surrounded him, as if they were going to swallow Clattenburg alive at any time.

On the sidelines, Allardyce, who was already out of anger, also jumped into a rage, and directed a burst of strong output at the fourth official.

And not far away on the bench of the Crystal Palace, Chen Ran quietly watched the scene in front of him, feeling secretly refreshed.

"Xiao Ke, although you are definitely in a difficult situation now, the slow-motion technology of the TV broadcast will clear your innocence. At a young age, you will also become famous for insisting on correct judgment today."

"At that time, you can bid farewell to the title of 'Blind Man of the Premier League' and start a new life. You will be grateful that I used the 'Eagle Eye Guardian Card' today."

While Chen Ran was muttering to himself, the major TV stations broadcasting the Premier League were also repeatedly replaying the slow motion of Owen's injury just now.

"Slow motion showed that it was Pepe who stabbed the ball first, and then Owen's foot kicked Pepe's studs and caused the injury. Therefore, the referee Clattenburg's penalty was accurate and Pepe did not foul."

"Although Owen's re-injury is something that everyone does not want to see, but judging from the slow motion of the replay, Pepe did not foul this ball."

"Judging from the slow motion of the replay, Crystal Palace defender Pepe did not foul this ball. This young referee Clattenburg can withstand the pressure and insist on the correct penalty result. He will definitely become a top referee in the future and his future is limitless. .”

"Although the game is not over yet, we have discovered an excellent young referee in advance. Clattenburg, great job!"
