Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 362 Is It Important To Have A Job?

Seeing Palin's pragmatic substitution and adjustment, Chen Ran also admired him very much. This guy wants to do the best defense.

No wonder he was able to lead the national football team to advance to the Asian Cup with a record three-game winning streak in the Asian Cup.

Although he later dismissed get out of class sadly because he was tied twice by Hong Kong in the world preliminaries, he has to admit that the national football team under Palin's coaching period was the best performing national football team after Milu, even surpassing the famous coach Lippi who was hired with a lot of money.

However, Chen Ran had no choice but to make some moves in the face of the iron bucket formation that Palin had set up.

Although he believes that with the strength of the Crystal Palace players, he will be able to break through Lyon's goal sooner or later, but he decided to add another insurance.

Turning on the system, Chen Ran called out a "Level [-] Sight Card" and a "Free Kick Master Card" for Ronaldo and Modric respectively.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use the "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card", but that this thing had too much negative effect, and the next ones were all key games.Regardless of whether it is Ronaldo or Messi, the absence of anyone is a huge loss.

"Little Luca!"

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

"You will tell Ronaldo to hit the goal more; then tell Messi to increase his efforts to break through with the ball. Once there is a chance for a free kick, as long as the distance and angle are not too outrageous, you will hit the goal directly, understand ?"

"Okay, boss!"

Nodding heavily, Modric immediately turned and ran back to the field.

Regarding Chen Ran's orders, the Crystal Palace players have always been resolute in their execution.

Ronaldo first, this guy immediately added a lot of inside shots.

With the blessing of the "first-level sight card", Cristiano Ronaldo, who already has a strong shooting ability, now hits every shot within the goal frame, and Lyon's goalkeeper Loris was immediately confused.

On the right, Messi also began to frequently use his super fast movement speed to force breakthroughs.

Although there were times when Lyon players double-teamed and intercepted the ball, they also created good free kick opportunities accordingly.

"beep!"

When Messi broke through with the ball again and was brought down, the referee decisively blew the whistle and awarded Crystal Palace a free kick in the frontcourt.

The position of this ball is a little outside the penalty area line on the left side of Lyon, and the angle is very biased. Normally, it is not suitable for hitting the goal directly.

If the free kick is taken by a left-footed player, it is still possible to try a direct shot.

But Modric is a right-footed player and can only pass the ball in this position, which makes Lyon's defensive players more certain that he will not hit the goal directly.

Standing next to the ball, Modric took a deep breath. In fact, he also thought that this position was more suitable for passing the ball.

And in Lyon's penalty area, all the big players of Crystal Palace have now been concentrated.

If he passes the ball in at this time, he will definitely be able to create a good scoring opportunity.

However, the words that Chen Ran specially explained before popped up in his mind again at this time.

Over the past few years, Modric has developed a habit of resolutely implementing the boss's orders.

Rubbing his cheeks with his hands, Modric put aside all his messy thoughts and looked up at the situation in Lyon's penalty area.

Step back, stand still, run up, swing your legs.
"boom!"

I saw the ball rise in response to the sound, and flew towards Lyon's penalty area in an exaggerated arc.

No, the power of this ball seems to be a bit too strong, as if it is going to fly out of the bottom line.

Just when everyone at the Emirates Stadium was about to sigh, the ball suddenly began to fall rapidly when it was about to fly over the Lyon goal.

At this time, Lyon goalkeeper Lloris, who was about to attack to intercept Modric's pass, quickly adjusted his pace and rushed towards the back post.

However, by the time he reacted, it was already too late.

The ball jumped into the net from the small space between the Lyon goal post, the crossbar and Lloris's hand.

"GOAL!"

With Modric's unexpected free kick, Crystal Palace finally broke the iron barrel and led Lyon 1-0 at home.

"Oh!"

There was a burst of exclamation in the entire Emirates Stadium, and then it turned into a sea of ​​joy.

On the bench on the Crystal Palace side, Beckham was dumbfounded. Why did Modric take this free kick so much like his own footwork.

On the Lyon side, seeing that the defensive line he had worked so hard to build was still broken by Crystal Palace, Palin, who was standing on the sidelines, seemed to be frozen there, motionless.

Now, should we continue to stay behind and defend or take the initiative to press out and attack?
Without hesitating for long, Palin quickly made a decision.

He has already maintained a tie with Crystal Palace for most of the game, and he would not be reconciled if he fell short at the last moment.

So, he replaced the central defender Squillac with the Brazilian striker Fred on the bench, and also changed the team's formation from 541 to 4312.

Seeing Lyon taking the initiative to attack, Chen Ran was very happy, which meant that the opponent finally lost his composure.

"Gareth!"

"Boss, what are your orders?"

"Immediately inform Alves and Mascherano to warm up, and then replace Toni and Cesc Fabregas with them. The team changed to defensive counterattack tactics, and the formation changed from 352 to 4231."

"Okay, boss."

Chen Ran's substitutions and adjustments immediately changed the situation on the court.

Originally, the Crystal Palace stormed around Lyon, but now it has turned into Lyon occupying the initiative on the field.

It's just that, although the Crystal Palace is not on the bus, but with the offensive combination of Benzema, Pjanic and Fred, there is nothing they can do about the Crystal Palace's defense.

Instead, when the game entered the stoppage time period, Crystal Palace seized a chance to counterattack.

After receiving a strong hand throw from Cech, Ronaldo ran with the ball all the way. After passing Juninho Jr. and Toulalang, he took a long shot from 30 meters away from Lyon's goal.

The ball was fast and fast, with almost no rotation, as if a sharp arrow flew towards the upper left corner of Lyon's goal.

Fortunately, the place where Ronaldo shot was far enough from the goal, leaving enough reaction time for Lyon's goalkeeper Lloris.

After seeing the flight direction of the ball clearly, Lloris quickly moved his feet, and then flew up with one foot and rushed over.

"when!"

Lloris' fingertips touched the ball, and after a slight change of direction, the ball hit the left goal post hard and bounced off.

"boom!"

Just when everyone's eyes were following the ball's trajectory, a figure jumped out and volleyed towards the ball.

It's Messi!
After the ball hit the left goal post of Lyon's goal, it just flew to Messi's side.

Before anyone else could react, Messi rushed forward and kicked.

At this time, Lyon's goalkeeper Lloris had just finished making a save and didn't have time to return to his position. He could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the goal again from in front of him.

"GOAL!"

With Messi's supplementary shot, Crystal Palace led Lyon 2-0 and completely sealed the victory.

As soon as Messi scored the second goal, Lyon's players, from coach Palin to the field, immediately lost their fighting spirit like a deflated balloon.

Without giving Lyon another chance to counterattack, the referee soon blew the whistle for the end of the game.

After winning three consecutive victories in the UEFA Champions League group stage, Chen Ran also got a "Level [-] Recovery Card" from the system that he needs most now.

After a short two-day break, on October 10, Crystal Palace ushered in the ninth round of the Premier League. This time they will go to an away game against West Bromwich Albion.

After a fierce battle with Lyon just now, Chen Ran had to put all the main players who consumed a lot of energy on the bench.

Fortunately, these substitute players in Crystal Palace are also very competitive. With the goals of Cavani and Dzeko, Crystal Palace defeated West Bromwich Albion 2:1 away.

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

In other matches of this round of the Premier League, there was a strong dialogue that attracted the attention of many people.

Chelsea faced Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. As a result, the Red Army Liverpool showed their prowess and beat Chelsea 1-0 in the away game.

阿森纳在客场2：0轻取西汉姆联队，曼联在客场1：1和埃弗顿打成平手，而曼城则在主场3：0大胜斯托克城。

When the ninth round of the Premier League is over, Crystal Palace still occupies the top position in the standings.

After defeating Chelsea, Liverpool successfully overtook their opponents, only one point behind Crystal Palace and ranked No.2.

Chelsea are now three points behind Crystal Palace and have been squeezed into third place.

However, Chelsea are not without a chance to catch up with Crystal Palace.Because in three days, these two teams will have a head-to-head confrontation.

Chelsea Club, in the office of CEO Peter Kenyon, the head coach Ancelotti sitting on the sofa looked very solemn.

"Carlo, Mr. Abramovich is very unhappy about the team's loss to Liverpool, which is heavily in debt and may go bankrupt at any time. I specifically asked me to remind you."

Even though he saw Ancelotti's face was not looking good, Peter Kenyon still had to do what the boss told him.

"I see."

Ancelotti didn't have much reaction, but just replied lightly.

In fact, he himself is very dissatisfied with losing to Liverpool. From the end of the game to now, he has been holding back a fire in his heart.

"Carlo, you have to understand the boss. Since he bought the Chelsea club in 2003, he has invested more than [-] million euros in the transfer market alone."

"But it has been five years now, and Chelsea haven't even won a decent championship trophy. This is an unacceptable thing for anyone."

"So, the boss's patience is getting more and more limited now, you have to be more careful."

Having said that, Peter Kenyon looked at Ancelotti with some sympathy.

If Chelsea can't win the Premier League or Champions League championship trophy this season, then the chubby Italian in front of him may pack up and leave like his predecessor Mourinho.

"Peter, thank you for your reminder, I know what to do."

Ancelotti, an old man with rich experience in dealing with people, will not easily do things to offend people even if he is unhappy.

After leaving Peter Kenyon's office, he plunged into the video room and began to study all recent Crystal Palace game videos.

Ancelotti knows very well whether Chelsea can take the initiative to compete for the Premier League title. The next game against Crystal Palace is crucial.

Chelsea did not make much moves during this summer transfer period. They only introduced Portuguese midfielder Deco from Barcelona and Portuguese right back Bosingwa from Porto.

However, after carefully studying Crystal Palace's recent game video, Ancelotti has more confidence in this game.

Because he found that Crystal Palace players are generally in poor physical condition.Especially those main players are even more exhausted.

Moreover, Ancelotti found that in the UEFA Champions League, Lyon coach Palin's tactics against Crystal Palace were very successful.

If Modric hadn't scored an incredible free kick, the result of that game might have been a draw.

Therefore, Ancelotti decided to imitate Palin's tactics in this game.

Isn't it just a bus ride?
Who wouldn't?

As long as you are not afraid of losing face.

For Ancelotti, an old Jianghu, he has experienced the Istanbul night, so he still cares about this?

Besides, is it important to be cheeky and have a job?

So, this time to play away against Crystal Palace, Ancelotti sent Chelsea's strongest defensive lineup.

center Drogba,
Left Midfield Malouda, Central Midfielder Lampard, Central Midfielder Ballack, Central Midfielder Deco, Right Midfielder Essien
Left back Ashley Cole, centre-back Terry, centre-back Carvalho, right-back Bosingwa

On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran also attached great importance to this game and sent all the main players who could play.

On October 10, the highlight of the tenth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Chelsea, the direct competitor of the league title, at the Emirates Stadium this time.
