Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 311 New Organization

"At least we are now recognized as one of the top European clubs, aren't we?"

"Also, if G14 is really disbanded, then UEFA will definitely set up a new club organization to replace G14."

"At that time, we can actively respond to UEFA's call and become one of the founding members of this new organization, so as to gain a greater voice."

Listening to Chen Ran confiding his judgment and plan for the future bit by bit, Stephen glanced at Chen Ran in surprise.

"New organization? Chen, do you think UEFA will do this? They had a hard time disbanding G14."

"Hehe, although they brought down G14 this time, UEFA is also afraid that some people will form gangs to rebel, so they must create a club organization that they can control to prevent similar things from happening again."

"I see. However, Chen, if we actively join this new organization, will we attract resistance from those old wealthy clubs?"

Stephen was still a little worried about Chen Ran's decision.

"Haha, Stephen, do you think UEFA and FIFA's money is so easy to get?"

"I estimate that UEFA and FIFA will definitely set additional conditions for players to compensate their clubs when they are injured while playing in the national team."

"For example, only member clubs of the new organization can enjoy this benefit. Let me ask you, if it's as I judged, don't those old wealthy clubs honestly join this new organization?"

"That's true. Chen, I know what to do."

Under Ferguson's strong request, the Glazer family spent money on Manchester United this summer to introduce many players.It made Manchester United make up for many of the original shortcomings and greatly increase its strength.

Faced with this crucial battle against Crystal Palace, Ferguson also took a deep breath, preparing to overthrow Crystal Palace in one fell swoop at Old Trafford, and then step on his opponent to reach the top of the Premier League standings.

To this end, he carefully selected the best players in his hands to form a strong starting lineup.

December 12, Manchester, cloudy.

A highlight of the No.16 round of the Premier League is about to be staged. After Chelsea two weeks ago, Manchester United also got the chance to directly pull Crystal Palace off the top of the standings.

In the eyes of Manchester United fans, what the upstart Chelsea failed to do, Manchester United will definitely be able to do it.

In order to witness this historical moment, the Old Trafford stadium was full of seats, and even outside the stadium, many fans who had not bought tickets were unwilling to leave.

On and off the pitch, Manchester United's team anthem resounded through the sky.

Similarly, Crystal Palace fans who are thousands of miles away are also very concerned about this important game that may be related to the ownership of the Premier League title this season.

Before the game started, the post bar in Crystal Palace was already full of voices.

"After winning Chelsea, if Crystal Palace can still win Manchester United today, then the Premier League champions this season will still belong to Crystal Palace."

"I didn't expect that. After leaving Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Tony and Jan Kohler were also injured and missed, Crystal Palace can still occupy the top position of the Premier League standings. Chen Ran is really awesome."

"Don't rush to be happy, the key still depends on the result of today's game. If Manchester United wins, the top position in the standings will not belong to Crystal Palace."

"I'm still optimistic about Crystal Palace in this game. Although Tony and Jan Kohler are unable to play now, in the game against Chelsea, Chen Ran put Ronaldo in the center position very well. Judging from today's starting lineup, It is estimated that Chen Ran will do the same again."

"Yeah, this guy Chen Ran has a lot of bad ideas. He even thought of transforming a winger into a center forward, but the effect is not bad. I really can't accept it."

"Aren't the people upstairs too optimistic? Manchester United also bought a lot of people this summer, and their current strength is much stronger than the previous two years."

"Hehe, that's just right. Let the Crystal Palace test the effect of Manchester United's signings today to see how much moisture there is."

Crystal Palace and Manchester United are already very familiar with each other, so when the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the two sides immediately launched a fierce confrontation.

With the successful experience of playing center forward in the game against Chelsea, Ronaldo has strengthened his distinctive center forward play in this game.

In the training before this game, Chen Ran also led Guardiola and other assistant coaches to design multiple sets of tactics for Ronaldo to play as a center forward.

Ronaldo didn't have to wait for his teammates to pass in the penalty area, but kept running out to cooperate with his teammates, and then turned back to grab a shot.

In this way, Ronaldo's speed advantage can be fully utilized, and Ronaldo and those strong central defenders can be prevented from competing for positions.

After all, for the central defenders of most teams in the world, few people can keep up with Ronaldo's speed.

It was Chelsea's Terry who was exhausted by Ronaldo's move before, but today it is Manchester United's Ferdinand who is responsible for man-marking Ronaldo.

It was okay at the beginning of the game, because Ferdinand was physically fit, although his speed was a bit behind Ronaldo, but Carrick, who has a midfielder position, helped him defend from time to time, and there were no major mistakes.

But when Ferdinand and Carrick's attention is on Ronaldo, then there will inevitably be loopholes in other positions.

When the game progressed to No. 207 minutes, Ronaldo once again ran out of Manchester United's penalty area to cooperate with his teammates, and Ferdinand followed as usual.

After receiving the ball, Ronaldo stabbed the ball to Kaka not far away before Carrick surrounded him to double-team.

Kaka stopped with the buckle, flashed past Scholes who came up to press, and then flicked his ankle, twisted the ball in an arc, and passed it to the right of Crystal Palace.

At this time, according to Chen Ran's tactical design in training, the two full-backs Messi and Ribery of the Crystal Palace were both advancing at high speed at the same time.

Messi bypassed the outside line of Manchester United left-back Heinze, received Kaka's pass before Heinze, and then dribbled the ball from the ribs towards Manchester United's penalty area.

Seeing that Heinze's side fell, central defender Sylvester rushed over to defend.

Messi flicked the ball lightly, instead of continuing to attack Manchester United's goal, he chose to dribble the ball to the bottom line.

At this time, Ronaldo, who had finished cooperating with Kaka, had turned back and sprinted towards Manchester United's goal at high speed.On the left, Ribery also rushed into the Manchester United penalty area from behind Gary Neville.

Seeing that his teammates were already in place, Messi, who was dribbling the ball towards the bottom line, flicked his ankle, and passed the ball before Sylvester stretched out his foot to make a tackle.

At this time, both Ferdinand and Gary Neville were half a step behind Ronaldo and Ribery, and were left behind by the two.

And because Ronaldo and Ribery are already in the penalty area, Ferdinand and Gary Neville dare not make too much action for fear of being awarded a penalty kick.

Seeing Messi pass the ball over, Ronaldo jumped up high and prepared to smash the ball into Manchester United's goal with Mount Tai.

"boom!"

At this critical moment, Manchester United's goalkeeper Kuzzak decisively abandoned the goal, jumped up, and beat the ball out of the penalty area before Ronaldo's head.

"boom!"

Just when the Manchester United players breathed a sigh of relief, there was another dull sound of touching the ball.

It's Kaka!
It turned out that Kuzzak didn't hit the ball far, and it just landed in front of Kaka who was guarding the ball outside the penalty area.

There was no pause, no waiting for the ball to land and no chance for United's defenders to react.Kaka directly raised his foot and made a volley shot, kicking a deciduous ball.

The ball fell quickly in front of Manchester United's goal. Kuzzak, who had just attacked and hadn't returned to his position, had no choice but to watch the ball fly into the goal he was guarding.

"GOAL!"

With Kaka's deciduous ball, Crystal Palace led Manchester United 1-0 in the away game.

In an instant, the entire Old Trafford stadium became much quieter, and the team singing that hadn't stopped since before the game also stopped.

Inside the stadium, the voices of the Crystal Palace players cheering and celebrating were extremely clear.

Like the previous match between Crystal Palace and Chelsea, this strong dialogue in the Premier League also attracted many media reporters to watch the match.

"It's over, I have a bad feeling that Manchester United may get the same result as Chelsea."

"You crow mouth, no one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak. The game is only in the first half, and there is still plenty of time left, enough for Manchester United to equalize or even overtake the score."

"Well, I thought that after Tony and Jan Kohler were injured, Crystal Palace's attack power would be greatly reduced. I didn't expect that Chinese man to transform Ronaldo into a center forward, and the effect was quite good."

"Who says it's not? That Chinese man is really like a phoenix, always allowing him to find a solution to his problems."

"The main reason is that Crystal Palace's bench depth is too thick, and the players' personal abilities are also strong enough, so there will always be someone who can stand up at critical moments."

"Forget it, it's useless to say so much. Now let's pray that Manchester United can get the score back."

"That's the only way to go. I hope Sir Alex Ferguson can create a miracle."

On the Manchester United bench, although Crystal Palace advanced a goal, Ferguson didn't have much reaction.

In the matches between Manchester United and Crystal Palace in the past few years, the result of losing more and winning less made him mentally prepared.

Although Ferguson has always been full of confidence and trying his best to win when he was interviewed by reporters, his goal in private is actually to get one point, and it is enough not to be opened up by the Crystal Palace.

Therefore, after the Crystal Palace goal, Ferguson did not make any adjustments other than going to the sidelines and telling Scholes to strengthen the marking of Kaka, and Giggs and Nani pay attention to returning to the defense to help the full-backs defend.

And Ferguson's adjustment effect was also immediate. When Ronaldo ran out of the penalty area again and wanted to cooperate with his teammates, whether it was Kaka, Messi or Ribery, there were more than one Manchester United players.

Until the end of the first half, the two teams failed to score again, and the score on the field remained at 1:0.

During the intermission, Chen Ran, who was very satisfied with the progress of the first half of the game, did not make any substitutions and adjustments except to give the players blood as usual.

On Manchester United's side, Ferguson was also very calm, and he was not eager to press up and attack because the team fell behind.In addition to repeatedly emphasizing defense, no substitution adjustments were made.

At the beginning of the second half, the game continued in the second half of the first half.Manchester United put their main energy on defense. Although they couldn't break through the Crystal Palace's goal, they also ensured that their own goal did not concede more goals.

Of course, Chen Ran was very happy with this situation.After all, Crystal Palace is now leading the score, and they can't wait to play until the end of the game.

However, Ferguson obviously won't let Chen Ran win so easily.

When the game went to 10 minutes, Ferguson finally made a shot.

He first replaced Nani with Hargreaves, then replaced Giggs with Saha, and then changed Manchester United's formation from 442 to 433.

Saha played as a centre-forward, while Rooney and Tevez played as left and right wingers respectively.

"Manchester United is about to launch a general attack."

Seeing Ferguson's substitutions and adjustments, Chen Ran immediately understood the opponent's intentions, then turned around and called Guardiola to his side.

"Josep, you immediately notify Yaya Toure and Mascherano to warm up, and then replace Kaka and Modric with them."

"With the three midfielders composed of Vieira, Yaya Toure and Mascherano, the team formation becomes 451."

"Okay, boss."

After arranging the substitution arrangement, Chen Ran immediately walked to the sidelines, taking advantage of the dead ball, he called Ribery over again.

"Frank, now that Manchester United wants to strengthen their offense, they will definitely be much more relaxed in marking the three of you than before."

"So you will tell Ronaldo and Messi later, the three of you will make more breakthroughs and hit more goals."

"It's best to score a goal. Even if you can't score a goal, at least Manchester United have to leave enough manpower to guard the three of you. Understand?"

"Okay, boss."

There was no nonsense. After agreeing, Ribery immediately turned around and ran back to the field to convey Chen Ran's latest instructions to Ronaldo and Messi.

Soon, just as Manchester United's attack was about to take off, Crystal Palace's attacking trio poured cold water on them.
