Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 315

For Ronaldo, a hexagonal fighter with almost no shortcomings, Benitez, who has played against Crystal Palace many times, only came up with a stupid way to defend with multiple teams.

When Ronaldo was on the wing, the threat was not that great because he was far away from the goal.

But I didn't expect that Ronaldo not only has strong technical ability, but also has excellent adaptability to different positions.

Since Chen Ran put him in the center position, Ronaldo didn't have any uncomfortable reaction, and the threat to the opponent's goal immediately soared.

Benitez is very familiar with Liverpool's two central defenders. Hyypia is tall, has a good header, strong frontal defense ability, and is similar in type to Vidic.

And because Hyypia is 34 years old this year, his speed is even slower than Vidic.Defensive traditional high center Tony is okay, asking him to mark Ronaldo is simply looking for abuse.

Although the other central defender Carragher was born as a full-back, he is not good at speed. It is probably not enough to use him to defend Ronaldo.

However, due to the absence of another Liverpool central defender Agger due to injury, Benitez has no available central defenders.

After thinking over and over again, he could only choose the taller one among the short ones, and assigned Carragher to mark Ronaldo, and then Hyypia provided protection beside him.

It's a pity that Benitez's move is useless for Ronaldo's new center forward, because Ronaldo doesn't stay in Liverpool's penalty area at all.

As soon as Ronaldo came to the center position, he began to run out of Liverpool's penalty area to cooperate with Kaka, Ribery and Messi, and then turned back to seek opportunities to shoot.

This time, Carragher, who was in charge of marking Ronaldo, was exhausted. This is equivalent to constantly turning back and running and sprinting with high intensity.

Carragher was not as fast as Ronaldo, and he was almost 30 years old, and he played most of the game. In less than 10 minutes, Carragher began to pant heavily, showing his fatigue.

When the game progressed to No. 701 minutes, Ronaldo once again ran out of Liverpool's penalty area.

While blocking Carragher who followed him out of the penalty area, he played a two-for-one cooperation with Ribery, helping Ribery pass Liverpool's right back Arbeloa at once.

After throwing away Arbeloa, Ribery took the ball and rushed directly into Liverpool's penalty area.

Seeing that there was a big gap in the defense on the right side of his side, Carragher made a decisive decision and immediately left Ronaldo behind and rushed towards Ribery's advancing route.

At this time, seeing Carragher coming to intercept himself, Ribery did not hesitate, flicked his left foot lightly, and returned the ball to Ronaldo.

At this time, Ronaldo's position is a little inside the upper right corner of Liverpool's penalty area.

This location is already within Ronaldo's range.

After receiving the ball, Ronaldo immediately raised his bow and set his arrows, ready to take a curved ball and shoot.

At this critical moment, Liverpool's midfielder Harvey Alonso rushed back in time.

A shovel fell to the ground and put his body in front of Ronaldo to block his shot.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been on guard for a long time, made a false shot, and then saw Harvey Alonso slipping past him.

Just as Ronaldo was about to shoot again, another Liverpool central defender Hyypia stepped up at this time, trying to block Ronaldo's shot.

After Xavi. Alonso and Hyypia's continuous obstruction, at this time Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina has already taken precautions against Ronaldo's shooting intention.

Seeing that there was no way to catch Reina by surprise, Ronaldo no longer forcibly hit the goal, but pushed the ball to Kaka in the middle.

In terms of the position of the shot, Kaka's side is much better than Ronaldo's.

Seeing Ronaldo passing the ball, Kakara opened his posture and prepared to shoot the ball angrily.

At this time, Gerrard, another central midfielder of Liverpool, also rushed back from the frontcourt in time.

Although Gerrard failed to break the ball, the plan to let Kaka hit the goal directly was forced to terminate.

However, at this time, Messi on the right had already begun to slant towards Liverpool's penalty area at high speed.Liverpool's left-back Aurelio reacted a bit too late, so he could only follow Messi's ass and chase desperately.

After discovering Messi's action, Kaka directly made a fake shot and passed the ball straight to Messi from between Gerrard's legs.

At this time, because they went to block Ronaldo's shot just now, the two central defenders of Liverpool are both on the right, and now there is a large gap in front of Messi.

Such a good opportunity, of course Messi will not be polite, he took the ball and rushed directly to Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina.

Finding that his defender couldn't return to the defense in time, Reina had no choice but to abandon the goal and rushed towards Messi.

Faced with Reina's attack like a hungry tiger, Messi didn't panic. With a slight flick of his right ankle and a lob shot, the ball flew from above Reina's shiny head to Liverpool's goal.

Seeing that the ball was about to fly into Liverpool's net, at this critical moment, Carragher rushed over and flew up, trying to hook the ball out of the goal line with his feet.

At the same time, Ronaldo also arrived in time. In order to ensure that the ball was not cleared by Carragher, he jumped high and wanted to smash the ball into Liverpool's net.

"boom!"

"what!"

I saw Ronaldo, Carragher and the ball fell into Liverpool's net together.

However, Ronaldo remained motionless after falling to the ground. Instead, Carragher hurriedly got up to see Ronaldo's situation, and then shouted at the referee.

Finding that the situation was not good, the referee on duty also rushed over immediately, and then immediately called the team doctor to the sidelines to enter the field.

It turned out that Ronaldo hit the ball first, but Carragher's foot kicked Ronaldo's head, knocking Ronaldo unconscious.

This time, the entire home court of Crystal Palace was blown up.

On the Crystal Palace bench, everyone rushed out of their seats, and the crowd was furious.

Seeing the scene just now, Chen Ran's mind suddenly "hummed" and went blank.

It's really meow, Ronaldo must not have an accident.

Without Chen Ran's explanation, Crystal Palace's team doctor has already rushed into the field.

Fortunately, it was Carragher's instep that was in contact with Ronaldo's head. It would be bad if it was the toes or the spikes.

Fortunately, after being rescued by the team doctor, Ronaldo quickly regained consciousness.But for the safety of the players, Ronaldo obviously cannot continue to participate in the game.Accompanied by the team doctor, Ronaldo was carried into an ambulance and taken to the hospital for further examination.

Subsequently, the referee on duty ruled that Crystal Palace's goal was valid and showed Carragher a yellow card.

This time, all the Crystal Palace fans quit immediately.

Ronaldo was almost headshot, but the referee didn't even give a red card?

Immediately, boos rang through the entire Highbury Stadium.

At this time, Chen Ran on the sidelines was no longer in the mood to worry about what card Carragher should get. He only hoped that Ronaldo would be fine.

After all, in his previous life, Cech had suffered a skull fracture due to a headshot. After the operation, he had to recuperate for more than half a year, and he could only participate in the competition with a headgear from then on.

Unexpectedly, the catastrophe that Cech escaped in this life fell on Ronaldo.

If possible, Chen Ran is even willing to use the victory of this game to exchange Ronaldo for nothing.

However, the game is not over yet.

Although his heart was in a mess, Chen Ran could only cheer up and continue to direct the game.

However, what is even more troublesome is that Crystal Palace has now run out of substitutions.

Cristiano Ronaldo's injury ended, making Crystal Palace only ten to eleven.

Benitez will not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He immediately replaced the right midfielder Benayoun with Ukrainian striker Voronin, and then changed Liverpool's formation from 442 to 433. At the same time, he went to the sidelines and shouted at Liverpool players. Full pressure on the attack.

Seeing Benitez taking advantage of the danger, the Crystal Palace fans became even more angry, and boos from the entire Highbury Stadium resounded through the sky.

In the stoppage time of the game, Torres received Crouch's header ferry, overpowering Mascherano to head the ball into the goal guarded by Petr Cech.

In the end, with one less player, Crystal Palace was tied 2:2 by Liverpool at home.

As soon as the game was over, Chen Ran immediately left the stadium and rushed to the hospital. He left the matter of attending the press conference after the game to Guardiola, leaving the reporters who wanted to surround Chen Ran in vain.

Fortunately, when Chen Ran rushed to the hospital, Ronaldo's preliminary test results came out.

Just a moderate concussion, no fractures.

Of course, the hospital still needs to conduct further examinations on Ronaldo. He will definitely not be able to play in a short time.

After receiving the news that Ronaldo is fine, Chen Ran finally let go of the stone in his heart.

However, when he saw the results of other matches in this round of the Premier League, he couldn't help frowning again.

切尔西在斯坦福桥4：3艰难战胜阿斯顿维拉，曼联则在客场4：0大胜桑德兰，至于阿森纳则在客场被朴次茅斯0：0逼平。

Since Crystal Palace failed to win Liverpool in this round, their lead was suddenly reduced from four points to two points, and the pressure increased sharply.

As for the media in England, this can be regarded as finding a subject that can be hyped up.

Articles slandering Crystal Palace appeared overwhelmingly, but Carragher's foul penalty did not seem to be noticed.

"After failing to beat Liverpool, Crystal Palace's lead was reduced to two points and could be overtaken by Chelsea and Manchester United at any time."

"After Tony and Jan Kohler, Thiago Silva and Ronaldo have been injured one after another. Crystal Palace has suffered from injuries this season, and the prospects are worrying."

"C Ronaldo and Thiago Silva are the absolute core players on both offensive and defensive ends of Crystal Palace. Their absence due to injury will greatly affect the results of Crystal Palace in the second half of the season."

"According to the latest data from the gambling company, after failing to win Liverpool and the injuries of Thiago Silva and Ronaldo, the funds that are optimistic about Chelsea and Manchester United winning the Premier League this season have skyrocketed."

"Judging from the current situation, that Chinese man's monopoly on the Premier League title is very likely to end this season."

Not only the English media, but even the fans of Crystal Palace, thousands of miles away in China, were a little worried after the Crystal Palace game against Liverpool.

"There is big trouble now. No one can replace Thiago Silva and Ronaldo's role in Crystal Palace. Once they are injured now, Crystal Palace will not be able to play in the next game."

"Who says no. Especially Thiago Silva, Crystal Palace's substitute central defender Pepe is really scary."

"It's okay for Thiago Silva. After all, his injuries are common. I'm worried about Ronaldo's situation now. If something goes wrong with his head, it will be fatal."

"Don't worry upstairs, there is the latest news. The official website of Crystal Palace just released an announcement, saying that Ronaldo's preliminary test results came out. He only had a moderate concussion and no fractures were found."

"That's good, that's good. At that time, when I saw Ronaldo losing consciousness, I felt 'thump' in my heart. Fortunately, there was nothing serious about it."

"Yeah. So many talented stars are ruined by injuries. I hope our Ronaldo will not be like that Brazilian Ronaldo."

"Although Ronaldo is fine, he will definitely have to observe for a while. At least he will not be able to play in the recent games. In this way, Crystal Palace still loses a general on both offensive and defensive ends."

"Forget it, it's useless for us to think about it here. I still believe that guy Chen Ran must have a way to get through the difficulty in front of him."

"Oh, that's the only way to go."

"I hope that guy Chen Ran can surprise us again."

Game after game will not be canceled or postponed just because a player is injured.

Only two days after the end of the game with Liverpool, on December 12th, the No.29 round of the Premier League will start again, and Crystal Palace will face Blackburn at home;
The injuries of Thiago Silva and Ronaldo, coupled with the intensive schedule, greatly limited Chen Ran's options for formation.

Crystal Palace, all off the bench, beat Blackburn 3-2 at home with goals from Cesc Fabregas, Alves and Dzeko.

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

In the other games of this round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Newcastle United 2:1 at Stamford Bridge, and Manchester United beat West Ham United 1:0 away.

Arsenal beat Everton 4-1 in the away game, while Liverpool were tied 0-0 by Manchester City in the away game.

Neither Chelsea nor Manchester United were left behind, still trailing Crystal Palace by two points.

When Chen Ran was preparing for the No. 20 round of the Premier League two days later, the little fat man also brought the latest news that the FA had not imposed any additional penalties on Carragher.
