Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 308
Last time Peter Kenyon told Ancelotti that Chelsea also played a role in fanning the flames.

Seeing Ancelotti's worried look, Peter Kenyon gave him a reassuring look.

"Carlo, don't worry, I arranged this matter through the eyeliner at the Manchester United club. Even if that Chinese man is capable, at most he will chase after Manchester United in the end, and it has nothing to do with us."

In fact, Peter Kenyon has another hidden intention in doing so.

He hoped that Chen Ran could follow this clue to find Manchester United. If Crystal Palace could tear Manchester United apart, as direct competitors for the Premier League title, Chelsea would be able to sit back and watch.

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins." Although Peter Kenyon doesn't know this idiom, he still understands the truth.

Although Ancelotti, who was sitting on the side, didn't know the hidden intentions behind Peter Kenyon, but just heard that Peter Kenyon used the eyeliner installed in Manchester United to pour dirty water on the Crystal Palace, he knew the water here in the Premier League. Not cleaner than Italy.

Damn, I just climbed out of a cesspit, and then stepped into another quagmire.

Forget it, they can do whatever they like, and they don't even see it.

In order to make money, don't mix it up.

Ancelotti rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, and set a code of conduct for himself in the football world in the future.

After the Premier League game with West Ham United, another national team match day came, and there were no club games for two weeks.

However, when he saw the team members dragging their exhausted bodies to report to the national team, Chen Ran couldn't feel relaxed at all.

Now that the competition in the Premier League is becoming more and more fierce, and Crystal Palace's lead is very small, Chen Ran dare not relax in a game.

In addition, most of the Crystal Palace players have now become the absolute main force of their respective national teams, and it is common for them to play the whole game in national team games.

Under the double consumption, Chen Ran was very worried that he would be injured due to excessive fatigue.

Another point is that Vieira, Vidic and Kaka, who had just recovered from their injuries, were called up by their national team before they had time to play in the club.

Doesn't this mean that you play in the national team, go back to the club to recuperate, and then go to the national team to compete?And the club has to pay the salary of the players during the recovery period as usual.

No wonder G14 is negotiating with UEFA and FIFA. At this moment, Chen Ran is inevitably a little unbalanced.

Because the first game after returning from the national team match day, Crystal Palace will usher in a direct contest with rival Chelsea.

So even though there were no club games in the past two weeks, Chen Ran was not idle, always paying attention to the national team games of the players in the team, and praying that no one would be injured.

However, whatever you are afraid of will come.

Jan Kohler was injured in the match of the Czech national team. After diagnosis, he was diagnosed with a strained right thigh muscle. Considering his age, it is conservatively estimated that he will be absent for at least two months.

As soon as the news came out, the media in England set off a wave of pessimism about Crystal Palace.

There are even many people who have criticized Chen Ran for letting Ibrahimovic go during the summer transfer period.

"After Tony was injured, Jan Kohler's absence left Crystal Palace with only Dzeko and Cavani on the forward line, two young men in their early twenties."

"With only one point ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United, the prospects of Crystal Palace without two main center forwards are worrying."

"As Crystal Palace's direct rivals for the league title, Chelsea and Manchester United have great benefits!"

"The first game after the restart of the league is a direct contest between Crystal Palace and Chelsea. Now that Crystal Palace has no main center forward, Chelsea must seize the opportunity to overtake!"

"I have to say that the Chinese exchanged Zlatan Ibrahimovic for Messi and Cesc Fabregas in the summer transfer period, which now seems to be a huge failure."

"That Chinese man is obviously too confident in his vision of selecting players. The contribution of Messi and Cesc Fabregas to a team is obviously not comparable to that of Ibrahimovic."

"If Zlatan Ibrahimovic hadn't been let go, then Crystal Palace wouldn't have faced such a predicament. The Chinese must regret it very much now."

"According to the latest data from bookmakers, since the news of Jan Kohler's injury broke, the funds that are optimistic about Chelsea and Manchester United to win the Premier League this season have increased significantly."

Not only the English media, but even the Crystal Palace fans who have always been confident in Chen Ran are now a little worried.

"Hey, why is Crystal Palace so unlucky this season? Injuries come up one after another, and it's endless."

"Let's be content upstairs. Injuries are unavoidable for any team. In the first two seasons, only a few players of Crystal Palace were injured. Most of the players can play the whole season. This is already a miracle, okay?"

"What you said above makes sense. Injuries are not terrible. Crystal Palace's bench is deep enough. The key is not to keep players in the same position injured, which is a bit annoying."

"That's right. Tony and Jan Kohler were injured at the same time, and Crystal Palace's center position was immediately leaked. I think the two kids, Dzeko and Cavani, can't stand up at all now."

"Unfortunately, if only Zlatan Ibrahimovic was still around."

"Exactly. Let me tell you, Chen Ran shouldn't have exchanged Ibrahimovic for Messi and Cesc Fabregas."

"Ahem, those upstairs, you can't say that. Judging from the performances of Messi and Cesc Fabregas this season, their abilities are still very good. That guy Chen Ran didn't miss him."

"I didn't say that they are not capable. The problem is that Crystal Palace is not short of people in their positions."

"I said it's useless for you to argue about this! Whether it's right or wrong, the Ibrahimovic people have been gone for several months, and now the key is how to get through the difficulties in front of them."

"Don't there still be Dzeko and Cavani? Since Chen Ran dared to let Ibrahimovic go, he must be optimistic that these two little guys can take his place."

"Just the two of them? Forget it. You don't even look at how many goals the two have scored so far this season."

"In my opinion, you guys are just worrying about it. Who is the chicken thief? His brain must be better than ours to bring the Crystal Palace from being penniless to where it is now. I believe he will be able to figure out a way."

"The above is right, and I also believe that Ji Zeran must have a way to overcome this difficulty."

"Well, now I can only believe that he can figure out a way."

Because of the consecutive injuries of Tony and Jan Kohler, the outside world is generally not optimistic about the prospect of the Crystal Palace and Chelsea game.

Even inside the Crystal Palace team, the current atmosphere is a bit gloomy.

Not only the players, but the coaches like Guardiola also feel that the current situation of Crystal Palace is a bit bad.

"Boss, neither Tony nor Jan Kohler can play now, what do you plan to do on the front line for the next game against Chelsea?"

After accompanying Chen Ran to visit Jan Kohler, Guardiola couldn't help but go to Chen Ran for psychological comfort.

There is no way, Chen Ran's image of being invincible and invincible has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of many people in the Crystal Palace, and has become the backbone of everyone.

Once encountering difficulties or making up your mind, everyone's first reaction is to go to Chen Ran.Because they believe that the boss must have a way.

For the situation in front of him, Chen Ran was not too worried. He had already prepared several sets of countermeasures.

After using a "Level [-] Rehabilitation Card" for Jan Kohler just now, there is only the last "Level [-] Rehabilitation Card" left in the system.

Once upon a time, the "Level [-] Rehabilitation Card" that was thrown away in the system has become a hot commodity, which is really beyond his expectation.

Hearing Guardiola's question, Chen Ran had no choice but to withdraw his attention from the system.

"Josep, this matter is not difficult to solve. At that time, let Ronaldo play the center forward, and then let Messi replace Ronaldo as the left midfielder."

"Ronaldo playing centre-forward? Can he do it?"

Hearing Chen Ran's method, Guardiola couldn't help asking.

In his perception, Ronaldo has always been an image of a wide player.

What's more, in such a crucial game against Chelsea, it is too risky to suddenly adjust players to play in unfamiliar positions.

"Hehe, don't think that you can only play on the wing if you are fast and have good skills. Ronaldo needs to be tall and tall, he needs to have a header and a header, and he is also very strong in physical confrontation. He has all the conditions to play a center forward. You Say, why can't he play center?"

When asked by Chen Ran, Guardiola opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He carefully considered the conditions listed by Chen Ran, and found that Ronaldo's playing as a center forward was really not whimsical.

"Moreover, Ronaldo has occasionally played the position of center forward before, and his performance is very good. Therefore, he is not completely unfamiliar with the position of center forward."

"Josep, don't underestimate Ronaldo. He has great potential and can do things that most people can't. Just wait and see how he surprises us."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see."

Seeing that Chen Ran was full of confidence in Ronaldo, Guardiola finally chose to believe in Chen Ran's judgment.

When Chen Ran went to visit Jan Kohler, Peter Kenyon appeared in Ancelotti's office again in London, Chelsea Club.

Compared with the predecessor Mourinho, Ancelotti, a chubby Italian, has a harmonious personality and is much easier to get along with.

So shortly after Carlo Ancelotti took over as Chelsea's head coach, Peter Kenyon got along with him and liked to discuss everything with Carlo Ancelotti.

"Carlo, it's pie in the sky. After Jan Kohler was injured, plus Tony hasn't returned from injury. Now there are only two young boys left in the front line of Crystal Palace, which is exactly what we won. Crystal Palace, a great chance to get to the top of the Premier League table."

"Haha, I didn't expect God to help me so much, it made me a little embarrassed."

Ancelotti didn't even think about the continuous loss of generals by his competitors.It would be a lie to say that he was unhappy, there was an unconcealable smile on his chubby face.

"Carlo, I have a rare bottle of Romanée-Conti, which I don't want to drink at all. As long as you can win the Crystal Palace this time and top the Premier League standings, then I will open it for you to celebrate."

I am happy to be happy, but Ancelotti still dare not be sloppy in the preparation work that should be done.

During the summer transfer period, Peter Kenyon dug up the midfielder Pirlo from AC Milan at a high price according to his request, plus the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko.

With these two veteran subordinates who have cooperated for many years as the core, Ancelotti quickly copied his tactical play in AC Milan in Chelsea, and the actual combat effect was very good.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this No.14 round of the Premier League has attracted much attention.

The game has not yet started, just the starting list announced by the two sides has aroused heated discussions.

There is nothing to say about Chelsea. They have played more than a dozen rounds of the league, and Ancelotti's main lineup is as expected.

On the Crystal Palace side, everyone wanted to see how Chen Ran would line up after Tony and Jan Kohler were injured one after another.

"I'll go, Chen Ran is really a thief. The two forwards Dzeko and Cavani are useless. Instead, he moved the left forward Ronaldo to play the center forward. Fatty An certainly did not expect him to play this trick. "

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, but the key is to temporarily adjust the player to play in a position he is not familiar with. Will the effect really be good?"

"It's not completely unfamiliar, is it? I seem to remember that Chen Ran also let Ronaldo play the center forward position before."

"There is no mistake in the upstairs. Ronaldo did play as a center forward. But that was after Crystal Palace took the lead. When Chen Ran shrank his formation and played a defensive counterattack, he left Ronaldo alone in front to fight back. He was not a true center forward. .”

"Okay, now that Chen Ran has already made a move, it's useless for us to say more here, let's see if his move has any effect, shall we?"

On November 11th, London, sunny.

Crystal Palace's Premier League fixture against Chelsea at home,
