Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 36

"Goal"

Finally breaking the deadlock, Chen Ran watched Crouch wildly celebrating from the sidelines, and heaved a sigh of relief.

With the ball in hand, the rest is easy.

Chen Ran now hopes that Sheffield United will continue to stay behind, and it is best to complete the game, so that he can smoothly pocket the three points.

"Josep"

Chen Ran called Guardiola over from the celebrating crowd.

"Boss, what instructions do you have?"

Now Guardiola admires Chen Ran's impromptu adjustment, and the effect is really immediate.

Since Chen Ran made the full-backs give up their defense and go all out to attack, he scored a goal in less than 5 minutes, breaking through the iron barrel formation set up by Sheffield United in one fell swoop.

"Tell Chiellini and Maicon, don't press the attack anymore, go back to the opening tactics. Now the initiative is with us, it depends on whether Sheffield United can come out. Also, tell Ronaldo, don't worry, we Already in the lead, the most important thing is to win the game.”

Chen Ran patted Guardiola on the shoulder, and pushed Guardiola, who was still in a daze, back onto the field.

Guardiola looked confused, boss, you are too utilitarian.

How can there be a change in 5 minutes?

Shouldn't we strike while the iron is hot, chase after victory, kill him while he is sick?
Of course, Guardiola doesn't understand Chinese, but that's probably what it means.

Although he was still a little puzzled, but now what Chen Ran said was what he said, and Guardiola still arranged Chen Ran's instructions to the letter.

As a result, whether it was Sheffield United's head coach Chris or the audience, they all found that after Crystal Palace scored a goal, the full-back returned to the appearance at the beginning of the game, and no longer frantically pressed the attack.

Everything that happened 5 minutes ago doesn't seem to exist.

Except that the score on the big screen became 1:0, everything else remained the same.

Fxxxk, Temeow's Huaguo is really despicable, shameless, and cunning.

Chris glared fiercely at Chen Ran in the distance, he knew what Chen Ran wanted to do.

It is nothing more than waiting for him to change formations, waiting for Sheffield United to press up and attack, and then Crystal Palace can enter their familiar rhythm and resort to their sharp defensive counterattack tactics.

If Sheffield United does not change, then Crystal Palace can also comfortably get three points.

Chris was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but he had nothing to do with Chen Ran.

Now that the score is already behind, if he presses forward to attack, he will fall into Chen Ran's trap.

After hesitating for a long time, Chris decided to keep going.

After all, there is no shame in losing to the league leaders by one goal in an away game.

Therefore, the fourth round of the English Championship ended with Crystal Palace playing nine and 10 minutes of halftime offensive and defensive drills.

1:0, Crystal Palace won four consecutive victories.

Chen Ran once again earned 100 million euros.

"Crystal Palace has won four consecutive victories without conceding a goal and continues to lead the Championship standings."

"Sheffield United gave up their offense and defended the whole game, but they were still awarded three points by Crystal Palace."

"Is there no team in the Championship that can stop Crystal Palace?"

"Scored a three-pointer in 5 minutes, and the Huaguo's exquisite command destroyed Sheffield United's iron barrel formation."

"Magic changes, this is the art of command."

Unsurprisingly, after the Crystal Palace won four consecutive victories, the media has another wave of praise as usual.

But inside the Crystal Palace, Chen Ran has already started a new action.

On the second day after the game, Chen Ran uncharacteristically stood in the middle of the training ground in person.

"Presumably everyone hasn't forgotten the first half hour of yesterday's game, right?"

Chen Ran glanced at the players lined up in front of him, many of them were too guilty to look him in the eye.

"No."

The players responded in low voices one after another.

"Recently, our results are good. The outside media are talking about how good our Crystal Palace is every day. Everyone must be very happy, right?"

"."

Hearing that the topic was not right, no one dared to respond to Chen Ran this time.

"Yesterday's game, I believe everyone saw it very clearly. Because of our good results and the daily praise of the media, every team is now carefully looking for our weaknesses. And, someone has already found one of them, and thought a way to deal with it.”

"If I hadn't changed the formation in time yesterday, maybe Sheffield United would have taken a point away from our home court. It is more likely that other teams will take the same approach when they encounter us in the future. If it is always a draw, So how do we get promoted to the Premier League?"

"Boss, you're here."

At this time, a voice came out quietly.

Chen Ran followed the voice and saw that it was Ronaldo.

Since this guy joined Crystal Palace, from the pre-season warm-up match until yesterday, with his speed and technique, he has made countless breakthroughs on the wing and his confidence is bursting.

However, Sheffield United's close double-team defense yesterday made Ronaldo feel the setback for the first time.He felt as if he was tied up in iron chains, and his previous invincible stunts were no longer easy to use.

After being intercepted a few times, he became more and more impatient, and for this he got his first yellow card after arriving in England.

However, all of this changed after Chen Ran changed his formation.

Crystal Palace, who scored quickly, don't worry.

Ronaldo's mentality has also relaxed. Although the following games did not expand the results, the Crystal Palace players played with ease and became more comfortable after calming down their mentality.

This also made Ronaldo feel what the art of command is and how important it is to have a good coach.

"I can't play for you!"

Chen Ran glared at Ronaldo angrily.

"So, you should have realized by now that we are not without weaknesses, and our opponents are not stupid. We are not qualified to be complacent, and don't know our name after being praised by the media. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

This time the team members responded quite loudly.

After training the players, Chen Ran pulled the three assistant coaches aside.

"Gareth, when practicing your tactics today, add a full-back pressure, use Ronaldo and Ribery as bait, and attack with all your strength."

"Is it like what the boss asked you to do when you changed your formation in yesterday's game?"

Southgate reacted quickly, and immediately remembered Chen Ran's 5-minute show operation yesterday.

"That's right, that's it. With the increase of the game, the opponent's research on our team will only become more and more thorough. We must prepare more back players."

"Understood, boss."

"Josep, you can't relax in your tactical drills. I saw Sheffield United's formation yesterday, and I was thinking at that time, if the team can master your style of play, they will not be afraid of the opponent shrinking in the backcourt. Stick to it."

"Boss, don't worry, I will hurry up and train."

After finishing today's training, Chen Ran had just returned to the office when he saw Stephen walking in quickly.

"Chen, Luis called and asked you to go to Barcelona as soon as possible."
