Chapter 310 Who Says Your Busy Work Is For Nothing?

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Chen Ran called Ribery who was closer to him.

"Frank, you and Messi will switch positions in a while, and then focus on increasing the number of attacks with in-cut shots to suppress Chelsea's offensive."

"Don't worry, boss, leave it to me."

Ribery slapped his chest, still looking generous.In his eyes, apart from Crystal Palace, other teams are rubbish.

Soon, Chen Ran's adjustments paid off.

Messi, who switched to the right, followed Chen Ran's instructions and began to cut inside frequently.

Because Crystal Palace's right-back Maicon also often put in assists, Chelsea's left-back Ashley Cole couldn't take care of it alone.

In addition, Chelsea's formation does not have a full-back, which has led to Ballack, who is now playing the left midfielder position, having to reduce the number of forward runs and devote more energy to helping Ashley Cole defend.

Correspondingly, after Ribery started to cut inside and hit the goal continuously, Lampard no longer dared to go up and participate in the offense so actively.

Under the sway, the pressure on the Crystal Palace's defense line suddenly eased a lot.

Unlike traditional centers like Tony and Jan Kohler, although Ronaldo is now at the forefront, he is not guarding Chelsea's penalty area and waiting for his teammates to pass the ball.

Instead, they kept running out of the penalty area to cooperate with Messi or Ribery, and then turned back to grab a shot.

This was a disaster for Terry, who was in charge of marking Ronaldo. Ronaldo ran out of the penalty area, and he had to follow him.

But when Ronaldo turned back to grab a shot, it was a bit difficult with Terry's reaction and speed.

When Terry was full of energy in the first half of the game, this was not obvious.

But as the game time increased, Terry's movement speed became slower and slower, and gradually he couldn't keep up with Ronaldo's rhythm.

When the game progressed to No. 607 minutes, Messi, who received a pass from Modric, cut inside again.

At the same time, right back Maicon also rushed up from behind.

Should we continue to defend against Messi, or should we stay and watch Maicon who is advancing at high speed?

What if he went to follow Messi, but Messi took the opportunity to distribute the ball to the unmarked Maicon?
After hesitating for a while, Ashley Cole finally decided to stay and guard against Maicon, and handed over the task of marking Messi who had cut inside to Ballack who rushed back from the midfielder in time.

However, Ashley Cole forgot to consider Ballack's technical characteristics.

Ballack, who is 189cm tall, has all the advantages of a traditional German player.Excellent offensive and defensive, can be called an all-around player.

But it would be really hard for Ballack to defend Messi, who is small, fast, skilled and extremely flexible.

Facing Messi, Ballack seemed like a wooden stake.

Messi swayed left and right, and a few fake moves fooled Ballack's center of gravity.Then with a light poke of his right foot, the ball was passed from between Ballack's legs to Ronaldo who ran out of the penalty area to meet him.

Ronaldo, who received the pass, did not pause at all, and directly knocked the ball back with his heel to Messi, who was going around Ballack.

And Ronaldo himself immediately turned back, bypassed Terry who came out and rushed towards Chelsea's penalty area with all his strength.

When the ball returned to Messi's feet again, Messi also did not hesitate at all. He just broke his ankle and sent a through ball to Ronaldo who was sprinting desperately with the instep of his right foot.

Messi's through ball sent just the right amount of points, and it appeared on Ronaldo's forward line with enough advance.

Realizing that the situation was not good, another Chelsea central defender Carvalho immediately rushed over with a flying shovel, trying to destroy the ball out of the penalty area.

Ronaldo, who saw Carvalho's movement, first picked up the ball with his toes, and then he jumped up himself.

Just dodged Carvalho's flying shovel, and jumped over Carvalho's body with the ball.

At this time, Cudicini, who found that there were no Chelsea teammates between himself and Ronaldo, had to decide to abandon the goal.Spread your limbs as far as possible, expand the defensive area and rush towards Ronaldo.

Facing Cudicini's attack, Ronaldo did not choose to go beyond others, but sent a lob shot directly with a flick of his ankle.

Cudicini hurriedly reached for the ball, but it was a pity that Ronaldo's shot was high enough.The ball flew past Cudicini's fingertips and into Chelsea's net.

"GOAL!"

With Ronaldo's brace, Crystal Palace lead Chelsea 2-0 at home.

As soon as the second goal was scored, the entire home field of Crystal Palace suddenly boiled.

The fans of the home team cheered and sang the team anthem of Crystal Palace, and the sound resounded through the sky.

Because since Chen Ran took charge of Crystal Palace, the team has never had a record of being overturned by an opponent while leading by two goals.

On the Chelsea side, Ancelotti frowned, and could no longer see a trace of relaxation before the start of the game.

It is completely different from Mourinho's emphasis on wing attacks, but Ancelotti concentrated his forces in the middle.

For the vast majority of opponents, Chelsea can rely on the super strength players in the team to break through the opponent's defense.

But once he met an opponent as strong as Crystal Palace, Ancelotti scratched his head a little bit.

Especially after Chen Ran replaced Yaya Toure, Crystal Palace now has three defensive midfielders on the field.

If Chelsea continues to insist on attacking from the center, it is likely to return without success.

In fact, Ancelotti is not without a wing player. Although Robben was let go in the summer, Chelsea also introduced French international Malouda from Lyon, plus the original Joe Cole in the team. And Wright Phillips, there is no shortage of manpower.

Seeing that his current tactics could not break through the defense of Crystal Palace, after hesitating for a while, Ancelotti finally decided to change players.

Soon, Chen Ran saw that Chelsea replaced Ballack with Malouda and Pirlo with Belletti.

Chelsea's formation on the field has also changed from 4312 to 442, with Malouda as the left midfielder and Joe Cole pulling from the front midfielder to play the right midfielder.

Essien returned to the center from right back and formed Chelsea's double central midfielder with Lampard, while Belletti replaced Essien as right back.

"Ancelotti is going to switch to attacking from the wing."

Chen Ran immediately saw through Ancelotti's intention to make substitutions and adjustments, and immediately turned around and called Guardiola to his side.

"Josep, tell Evra and Alves to warm up now, and replace Ribery and Modric with them later."

"The team formation changed from 451 to 442. Evra and Alves played as left and right midfielders respectively. Ronaldo still played as a center forward, and Messi played as a shadow forward."

"You tell Evra and Alves that their main task after they play is to show me Joe Cole and Malouda from Chelsea."

"Okay, boss."

Soon, after Chelsea used up three substitutions early, Crystal Palace also used up three substitutions.

Seeing Chen Ran's substitution, Ancelotti immediately turned dark.

Damn, this Chinese man's reaction is really fast.

I just arranged for the team to play sideways offense, and the Crystal Palace immediately made corresponding substitutions and adjustments. This is not leaving me a chance.

However, things have come to this point, and Ancelotti, who has run out of substitutions, can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

With the successive changes of Ancelotti and Chen Ran, the offensive and defensive focus of the two teams of Crystal Palace and Chelsea has also shifted from the previous center to the current wing.

All of a sudden, whether it was Malouda and Joe Cole on Chelsea's side, or Evra and Alves on Crystal Palace's side, these players who came on the field later and had plenty of stamina fought on their backs on the two wings. Indistinguishable.

The scene of the game was deadlocked again, which was of course acceptable to Chen Ran.After all, now that Crystal Palace is leading by two goals, he can sit on the bench and watch the game with a relaxed mood.

On the Chelsea side, Ancelotti couldn't sit still for a moment, standing on the sidelines and constantly directing the players to attack, attack, and attack again.

It wasn't until the end of the game that Chelsea finally sent a cross from Belletti on the right. Drogba in the penalty area beat Vidic to grab the ball and headed home.

After Petr Cech fought to save the ball, Shevchenko got one step ahead of Thiago Silva and saved the ball into the Crystal Palace net to bring Chelsea back.

In the end, with Ronaldo's brace, Crystal Palace beat Chelsea 2-1 at home.

While scoring the key three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level [-] Recovery Card" from the system.

在本轮英超联赛的其他比赛里，曼联在客场1：0小胜博尔顿，阿森纳也在客场2：0战胜维冈竞技，利物浦则在安菲尔德3：0完胜纽卡斯尔联队。

With the victory over Chelsea, Crystal Palace has maintained its top position in the standings, Manchester United is one point behind, and Chelsea are now four points behind Crystal Palace in third place.

The day after the match against Chelsea, Chen Ran flew to Norway with the entire Crystal Palace team.Three days later, Crystal Palace's Champions League group stage game against Rosenberg will start again.

Although it is the UEFA Champions League and an away game, given Rosenberg's limited strength and Crystal Palace's four consecutive victories in the group stage, the qualifying situation is very good.

More importantly, the time for this Champions League group match is November 11, and on December 29, Crystal Palace will have a Premier League No. 12 round match, and they are going to challenge Sunderland away.

Therefore, Chen Ran still made a substantial rotation to Crystal Palace's starting lineup. All the players who played the whole game against Chelsea sat on the bench.

In the end, with the goals of Dzeko and Cavani, Crystal Palace drew 2:2 with Rosenberg in the away game.While achieving a record of four wins and one tie, they ensured that they will advance to the top [-] of the Champions League as the number one in the group one round ahead of schedule.

As soon as the game was over, Chen Ran flew back to London overnight with the team.

Chen Ran is now used to the perverted schedule set by the damn FA.

Fortunately, Sunderland is not a strong team. Although flying around was a lot of trouble, the rotation Chen Ran made in advance ensured that the main players of Crystal Palace had enough physical fitness to take down their opponents.

In the end, with the goals of Ronaldo, Thiago Silva and Vieira, Crystal Palace easily defeated their opponents 3:1 in the away game.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also received a long-lost winning bonus of 200 million euros from the system.

In the other matches of this round of the Premier League, Manchester United beat Fulham 2-0 at Old Trafford, and Chelsea beat West Ham United 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal beat Aston Villa 2:1 away, while Liverpool beat Bolton 4:0 at Anfield.

In the league standings, Crystal Palace is still one point ahead of Manchester United and four points ahead of Chelsea.

A week later, in the No.16 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.

Just as Chen Ran was leading the team to actively prepare for the game, Stephen found his office again.

"Chen, the latest news is that the negotiations between G14, UEFA and FIFA have progressed, and the opinions of various member clubs are now being sought."

"Oh? Has there been progress? Could it be that UEFA and FIFA have made concessions?"

Hearing the news brought by Stephen, Chen Ran, as a reborn person, actually knew the result in his heart, but he still played along with it.

"Well, it's a concession. However, this concession is conditional."

"UEFA and FIFA have promised that players can be compensated by the player's club for injury while representing the national team. But the condition is: G14 must be disbanded."

"Disbanding G14? This is expected."

Hearing the same conditions as in the previous life, Chen Ran knew that the wheels of history were still running on the original track.

"Er Chen, you don't seem to be surprised by this condition?"

Stephen was very surprised by Chen Ran's expression of not being surprised at all.

"Why is that surprising? If I were UEFA president or FIFA president, I would do the same."

Seeing Stephen's reaction, Chen Ran secretly reminded himself that acting must be complete.

"Well, it seems to be true. Chen, when the G14 meets, how should we express our position? Do we agree or disagree?"

"Don't be in a hurry to express your opinion, we just have to wait and see the result."

"Er Chen, what do you mean?"

As Chen Ran's friend for many years, Stephen immediately sensed that there was something in Chen Ran's words.

"When G14 was first established, it was vigorous and powerful. As a result, after so many years, there are no achievements. If we hadn't joined G14 a while ago, this organization would have been almost forgotten."

"Now that UEFA and FIFA are finally willing to make concessions, why don't those guys accept it as soon as they see it?"

"In any case, I have finally exchanged for real money. It can be said that the toss is not in vain. Now stop, there is an explanation for all aspects, and it can be regarded as a HAPPY ENDING."

"Ah? Then our Crystal Palace just joined G14 and it's over. Isn't it a waste of work?" After listening to Chen Ran's analysis, Stephen's interest suddenly faded.

"Who said it was a waste of time?"

Chen Ran patted Stephen's shoulder, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
