Chapter 313 Eat the meat in your mouth before talking

Although Carrick scored a world wave long-range shot in stoppage time of the game and scored another goal for Manchester United, it still failed to prevent Manchester United from losing 2:4 to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

While scoring the key three points, Chen Ran also added a "Level [-] chicken blood card" from the system.

After defeating Chelsea, Crystal Palace once again won Manchester United. Even the direct competitors of the two league titles also made Crystal Palace finally open up a little point gap.

在本轮英超联赛的其他比赛里，切尔西在斯坦福桥2：0战胜桑德兰，利物浦在客场3：1拿下雷丁，阿森纳则在主场4：1大胜米德尔斯堡。

When the No.16 rounds were all over, Crystal Palace led Chelsea and Manchester United by four points to stabilize their lead, while Chelsea squeezed Manchester United to third place again with a goal difference advantage.

Since Crystal Palace defeated Chelsea and Manchester United consecutively, even if the English media were reluctant, they had to pinch their noses to praise Crystal Palace.

And thousands of miles away in China, the fans of Crystal Palace are once again elated, and the popularity of the Crystal Palace post bar has reached a new high.

"Haha, even without Ibrahimovic, Tony and Jan Kohler, Manchester United and Chelsea are no match for Crystal Palace."

"That's right. That guy Chen Ran has many ways. His move of transferring Ronaldo to play center is really a stroke of genius."

"It's good now. We don't have to worry about Crystal Palace not having a good striker. Even if the two kids Dzeko and Cavani can't play, there is Ronaldo who can step up at any time."

"I'm thinking now, or just let Ronaldo play forward all the time. Anyway, Crystal Palace has no shortage of wide players."

"What you said above makes sense. Whether it's Ribery or Messi, or Evra and Alves, they are all good players on the wing. Letting Ronaldo play on the wing always feels a bit overkill."

"I said that we don't need to worry about this. Just Ji Zeran's brain must understand better than us."

"That's right. Anyway, I'm completely convinced by Chen Ran's vision now. I support him in using his players however he wants."

"Support +1."

"Support +2."

Three days after the end of the Premier League with Manchester United, the final UEFA Champions League group match, Crystal Palace's home game against Valencia will begin again.

However, because Crystal Palace had already ensured to advance to the top [-] of the UEFA Champions League one round ahead of schedule, Chen Ran made a substantial rotation in this game.

He put all the players who played the whole game against Manchester United on the bench.

In the end, with goals from Fabregas and Cavani, Crystal Palace lost 2:3 at home to Valencia as a guest.Accumulating thirteen points with four wins, one draw and one loss, they ranked first in the group and successfully advanced to the top [-] of the Champions League.

The other three Premier League clubs participating in the UEFA Champions League, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have all successfully advanced to the top [-] of the UEFA Champions League, continuing the strong performance of the Premier League over the past few seasons.

Two days after the Champions League match against Valencia, Crystal Palace ushered in the No. 17 round of the Premier League, this time they will face Middlesbrough at home.

However, because Chen Ran used all the substitutes in the Champions League, the main players of Crystal Palace got enough rest time.

In the game against Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace played with all their main players. With the goals of Kaka, Yaya Toure and Tony, who returned from injury, Crystal Palace easily won Middlesbrough 3:1 at home.

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

In the other games of this round of the Premier League, there are two more attention-grabbing strong dialogues.

One is Manchester United going to Anfield to challenge Liverpool in the Premier League, and the other is Chelsea's city battle against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Unfortunately, things did not develop in the direction Chen Ran expected.Neither Liverpool nor Arsenal could stop Manchester United and Chelsea from catching up.

In the end, Manchester United beat Liverpool 1-0 away, while Chelsea also beat Arsenal 1-0 at home.

Manchester United and Chelsea tenaciously kept their four-point deficit and did not continue to expand.

Just as the Premier League was going on as usual, the negotiations between G14 and UEFA and FIFA also had the latest progress.

Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran's office.

"Chen, it's exactly as you expected. The disbandment of G14 in exchange for UEFA and FIFA's compensation for players injured while representing the national team was unanimously approved during the G14 meeting. "

Stephen, who had just gone to Brussels to attend the G14 meeting on behalf of the Crystal Palace Club, immediately described the situation of the meeting to Chen Ran in detail.

"Hehe, it's just as expected. As soon as these guys saw that the skin of G14 could be exchanged for real money, they immediately threw it away. Stephen, tell me, which club is the most active in this matter?"

Chen Ran was relieved to hear that things were still developing as they should.

"Chen, we are no strangers to the most active club. We just made a deal with us in the summer."

"Oh? You don't mean FC Barcelona, ​​do you?"

"That's right, it's Barcelona. Looking at their positive appearance, I even suspect that they are the white gloves of UEFA and FIFA ambushing G14."

Barcelona?

There were also rumors in the previous life that Barcelona was an undercover agent placed in G14 by UEFA and FIFA, with the purpose of bringing down the G14 organization.

However, no conclusive evidence emerged about this matter, and then it disappeared.

However, Barcelona took advantage of several times in the Champions League, and many people believed that Barcelona was taken care of by UEFA, so this rumor has not disappeared.

"Whether Barcelona is an undercover agent of UEFA, I don't care. Stephen, did this meeting discuss the establishment of a new organization after the disbandment of G14?"

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Ran asked what he was most interested in.

"There was no formal discussion at the meeting. However, in private, I heard that UEFA has released news that an official, formal, and larger organization will be established to replace G14."

"Well, they really have been prepared for a long time. This is to swallow up the vacated territory after dismembering G14."

Chen Ran stroked the stubble on his chin, then turned to look at Stephen.

"Stephen, you pay close attention to the news from UEFA. Once they announce the establishment of a new organization, our Crystal Palace will sign up as soon as possible."

"Eh, the first time? Chen, is this too urgent? Should I wait to see the wind direction of those old and rich clubs before making a decision? This is more secure."

Hearing Chen Ran's radical plan, Stephen was also taken aback.

"Hehe, Stephen, haven't you seen clearly through G14? Those old and wealthy clubs are just a bunch of paper tigers, which can be broken with a single poke."

"If you really follow their buttocks to do things, you won't even be able to chew on the bones, and at most you can drink some soup."

"Instead of this, let's take the initiative to move closer to UEFA and eat the meat in our mouths first."

"At least, when our Crystal Palace meets Barcelona in the Champions League, we won't suffer too much."

"Barcelona."

Hearing that Chen Ran mentioned Barcelona's name again, Stephen looked at Chen Ran thoughtfully and nodded slowly.

"Chen, I understand."

After arranging the strategic direction of the Crystal Palace club, Chen Ran ushered in the famous Premier League Christmas Devil schedule.

On December 12, in the No.23 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Newcastle United;
On December 12th, in the No.26 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will sit at home against old rival Liverpool;

On December 12th, the No.29 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Blackburn at home;
On January 1st, the No.1 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace is going to challenge Bolton away again;
On January 1, in the third round of the FA Cup, Crystal Palace will host Sheffield Wednesday.

Five games in thirteen days, an average of less than one game in three days.Among them is the tough battle against Liverpool, which is another severe test for the physical fitness of the Crystal Palace players.

On December 12, facing the first game of the Christmas Devil schedule, considering that there will be a tough battle with Liverpool two days later.

Chen Ran made some adjustments to Crystal Palace's starting lineup, arranging half of the main force and half of the substitute lineup to challenge Newcastle United away.

In the end, with the goals of Beckham and Alves, Crystal Palace defeated Newcastle United 2-1 in the away game without any risk.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Free Kick Master Card" from the system.

In the other games of this round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Blackburn 1-0 away, and Manchester United beat Everton 2-1 at Old Trafford.

Liverpool thrashed Portsmouth 4-1 at Anfield, while Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in the north London derby.

Crystal Palace remain four points clear at the top of the table, with Chelsea and Manchester United also gnashing their teeth.

Two days later, on December 12, in the No. 26 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace ushered in their old rival Liverpool at home.

Although the results of leading Liverpool in the Premier League are lackluster, the team's outstanding performance in cup competitions, especially the Champions League championship, makes Benitez's position as Liverpool's head coach stable.

Coupled with the fact that the two American owners who took over Liverpool not long ago are standard laymen for football, this makes Benitez even more powerful in the Liverpool club.

Facing the Crystal Palace again, Benitez tried his best to break his wrist with Chen Ran.

For Benitez, Ancelotti, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, the head coaches of these giant clubs, beating Chen Ran's Crystal Palace in the league has now become their obsession, even worse than winning the Premier League. Champions are even stronger.

After all, no one wants to be overwhelmed by a young man from a football backward country.

Shame!
Unsurprisingly, Benitez once again dispatched all the main players who can play in his hands, preparing for a showdown with Crystal Palace.

On the Crystal Palace side, the lead of only four points in the Premier League also made Chen Ran not dare to be sloppy in the slightest, and he used his main force to face Liverpool.

For Crystal Palace and Liverpool, two teams that are already very familiar with each other, there is no need for any temptation.

As soon as the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the two sides immediately launched a fierce confrontation.

Torres, who had just joined Liverpool from Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer period, had almost no problems adapting.

There seems to be no difference between the Premier League and La Liga for him. After coming to Liverpool, he immediately started his scoring performance.

In the [-] rounds of the Premier League that have been played, Torres has scored [-] goals, and the goal rate has exceeded an astonishing [-]%. This is also an important reason why Benitez has the confidence to wrestle with Chen Ran.

Chen Ran naturally noticed Torres' amazing performance this season.

For this reason, he specially arranged for Vidic to be responsible for pressing Torres close to him in the pre-match preparation meeting, and Thiago Silva was responsible for supplementing defense at any time.

However, Torres is not like a traditional center, honestly guarding the penalty area and waiting for his teammates to pass the ball.

He is similar to Ronaldo's method of playing as a center forward. He keeps running outside the penalty area to cooperate with his teammates, and then returns to the front to grab a shot.

Torres ran out of the penalty area, and Vidic, who was in charge of marking him, had to follow him.

This hit made Vidic miserable. Fighting his body, header, and frontal defense are his strengths, and this is where Chen Ran wants him to limit Torres.

But in terms of physical flexibility and speed, Vidic is no match for Torres at all.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ran immediately walked to the sidelines and grabbed Ribery who was closest to him.

"Frank, tell Vidic that if Torres goes out of the penalty area, he will be followed by Thiago Silva. He is only responsible for defending in the penalty area."

"Okay, boss."

Hearing Chen Ran's order, Ribery nodded immediately, turned around and ran back to the field.

In fact, even Thiago Silva's speed and flexibility cannot be compared with Torres, but the gap is not as big as Vidic, and he can still keep up.

After patching the loopholes in Crystal Palace's defense, Chen Ran turned his attention to Liverpool's penalty area.
