Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 384

Fortunately, Chen Ran was well prepared for this situation. He had told Little Fatty Louis that he was ready to recall the players who were on loan at Willem II in the Netherlands.

It's just that the injury situation of Crystal Palace was not very serious, so Chen Ran didn't recall all the players on loan.

At that time, only Kaka and Ribery were injured in the Crystal Palace, so Chen Ran only called back Suarez and Vardy, two offensive players, during the winter transfer period.

Now that Toni and Modric are also injured, Suarez and Vardy can just come in handy.

As soon as the national team match day is over, Crystal Palace will immediately face a new devil's schedule.

The Premier League, the Champions League knockout rounds and the FA Cup were played one after another, with no respite at all.

On February 2, in the No.22 sixth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium;
On February 2th, in the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Atletico Madrid;

On February 2th, in the seventh round of No.28 of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Blackburn at home this time;

On March 3th, in the eighth round of No.4 Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Fulham again;

On March 3, in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Sheffield United this time;
On March 3, in the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, Crystal Palace will return to home against Atletico Madrid;

On March 3th, in the No.14 nine rounds of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will host Newcastle United at home.

Played seven games in a row in 21 days, an average of one game in three days.

At present, Crystal Palace has four main frontcourt players missing due to injuries. This not only gives Chen Ran a headache, but also makes the English media, which has been silent for a long time, excited again.

"Kaka, Ribery, Toni and Modric, Crystal Palace's four main offensive players are absent due to injuries. This is the best time for other teams to catch up."

"There are still [-] rounds left in the Premier League. Liverpool, who are currently ranked second in the standings, are only seven points behind Crystal Palace and have every chance to catch up with Crystal Palace."

"With the dense devil's schedule and suffering from injuries, Crystal Palace is very likely to fall behind in the final sprint of the league."

"According to the latest data from the bookmaker, when the news of the injuries of Toni and Modric came, Liverpool's odds of winning the championship increased significantly."

On the side of the Crystal Palace club, it seems that they have not been affected by outside public opinion.

The experience of winning championships over the years has convinced the Crystal Palace Club that the difficulties in front of them will not trouble the owner Chen Ran at all.

Because on February 2, Crystal Palace will fly to Spain to compete with Atletico Madrid in the first round of the UEFA Champions League.

So in the Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur on February 2, Chen Ranxue hid most of the main players.

Tottenham Hotspur has always been a strong team in the Premier League. Although they do not have the strength to compete for the championship, they can qualify for the European War every year.

The old coach Redknapp, who succeeded the Spaniard Juan Ramos, has rich experience. From the first minute of the game, he put on a bucket formation, looking like he will stick to the end.

The game was very anxious. Although Crystal Palace had an absolute advantage on the field, but without the three offensive cores of Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka, the entire offensive has always been thunderous and rainy, and it has never been able to break through Todt. Nam Tottenham's goal.

When the game progressed to 10 minutes in the second half and the score on the field was still maintained at 0:0, Southgate was the first to lose his composure.

"Boss, shall we replace Ronaldo and Messi on the court?"

"Gareth, don't worry, just trust the players on the field. Ronaldo and Messi's task is to win the Champions League match two days later. It's not their time to play yet, so you can't lose the big because of small things."

Chen Ran shook his head slightly, directly rejecting Southgate's suggestion.

In fact, Chen Ran had considered Southgate's proposal a long time ago, but he thought of another better way to solve the problem.

Calling up the system, Chen Ran decisively used a "Level [-] chicken blood card" for Suarez.

Suarez at his peak is also the world's top striker.

Moreover, he is still just a young player in his early twenties, and the poor state of three consecutive games after that has almost negligible impact on the team.

After using the "Level [-] chicken blood card" for Suarez, Chen Ran stood up from the bench and walked to the sidelines.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, he called Fabregas over.

"Cesc, next you have to pass the ball to Suarez more. Then tell him, I will give him the 'right to fire freely', whether it is shooting, passing or dribbling, it is up to him to make his own decisions."

"Boss, is this inappropriate? Suarez is only a young man in his early twenties, and it's his first Premier League start."

Fabregas was taken aback for a moment, and asked his own question with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, Cesc, are you ashamed to say that Suarez is a young man? He is more than three months older than you."

"Really? Haha, I really didn't notice."

Fabregas scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled.

"Cesc, don't worry, Suarez is in his best form today, otherwise I wouldn't put him directly in the starting lineup."

"Oh, that's right. Boss, is Suarez today like Ronaldo before?"

As a veteran player of Crystal Palace, Cesc Fabregas also knows that Chen Ran has the magical ability to accurately predict the status of players.

"That's right, you know what to do now, don't you?"

"I know, boss, don't worry."

Fabregas understood, immediately turned around and ran back to the field, and went directly to Suarez to convey Chen Ran's latest instructions.

Although Suarez has joined Crystal Palace for a long time, he has been loaned to William II in the Netherlands for a long time, and he is not very clear about Chen Ran's magical ability.

Therefore, when he heard that Chen Ran gave him the "right to fire freely" for this first-time Premier League player, he was completely stunned.

Is your boss so optimistic about yourself?
Then why rent yourself out?
The guy in front of him played for Crystal Palace at the age of 16, and he just played for the first time today.

Suarez looked at Fabregas suspiciously. Could this guy be kidding himself?
"Cesc, are you serious? The boss really gave me 'free fire'?"

"True. Dare I joke about such a thing?"

Seeing that Suarez didn't believe what he said, Fabregas was also angry and funny.

"Then I can do whatever I want. If I get scolded then, I will say that you asked me to do it."

"Okay, okay, okay! That's what I told you to do, okay?"

Suarez is also a daring guy. With the promise of Fabregas, he ran around like a wild horse after the game resumed.

Break through, pass, shoot, really do whatever you want.

Moreover, Suarez suddenly discovered that his abilities had undergone an astonishing change.

Actions that were impossible to do before can now be made; people who were unable to pass before can now pass; shots that could not be scored before can now be scored.

For Suarez, a young teenager who represented Crystal Palace for the first time, Tottenham Hotspur coach Redknapp did not pay much attention to it, and did not arrange special man-marking.

In fact, in the first six and 10 minutes of this game, Suarez did not pose any threat to Tottenham Hotspur's goal.

But after 10 minutes, this Suarez seemed to be a different person.Suddenly, pass and shoot, one person messed up Tottenham's defense.

Just when the old Redknapp was preparing to arrange players to mark Suarez closely, Alves on the right side of the Crystal Palace successfully broke through the bottom pass.

In Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area, Cavani overwhelmed defender Cole Luca with a flick of his head.

Goalkeeper Gomez reacted quickly and jumped to block the ball. The ball just flew to Suarez's position.

Seeing the flight direction of the ball, Suarez jumped into the air without hesitation.

"boom!"

With a side hook in the air, he kicked the ball heavily towards Tottenham Hotspur's goal.

At this time, the goalkeeper Gomez had just finished making a save and had not had time to return to his position. He could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the goal he was guarding like a cannonball.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

Crystal Palace finally broke the deadlock and led Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at home.

Suarez's excitement can be imagined when he scored a goal in the Premier League on behalf of Crystal Palace for the first time.

After celebrating wildly, he found that his teammates looked at him sympathetically.

"what happened?"

Suarez, who felt something was wrong, approached Cesc Fabregas and asked in a low voice.

"Ahem, cherish this game, play to your heart's content, and don't leave any regrets."

Patting Suarez on the shoulder, Fabregas comforted him earnestly, then turned and ran away.

"What the hell? You'll play tricks."

Suarez, who was in high spirits at this time, didn't bother to think about Fabregas' words. Anyway, he felt that he was in a surprisingly good state now, as if he was omnipotent.

In the next game, Suarez still continued his bursting state.

After playing a one-two with Cesc Fabregas, he kicked directly outside the penalty area and hit the goal.

"boom!"

The ball was fast and fast, and flew directly into the net from the top right corner of the Tottenham Hotspur goal.

Goalkeeper Gomez was beyond his reach, and Suarez broke through the goal he was guarding again.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Luis Suarez scoring twice, Crystal Palace lead Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.

"When did this guy become so strong?"

Tottenham Hotspur's Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez also played for the Eredivisie giants Eindhoven before.

He played against Suarez who played for William II not once or twice, and he still has some understanding of Suarez's ability.

Gomez moved from PSV to Tottenham Hotspur last summer, while Suarez returned to Crystal Palace in the recent winter transfer period.

It was only half a year in the middle, and Suarez had such a huge change, which made Gomez feel incredible.

In the end, although Pavlyuchenko helped Tottenham Hotspur get back a goal, Crystal Palace still defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2:1 at home.

While winning the game, Chen Ran also got a "Level One Chicken Blood Card" from the system.

In the other matches of this round of the Premier League, Liverpool beat Manchester City, which had just been replenished, 2:1 at Anfield, interrupting their rising momentum.

Chelsea beat Aston Villa 1-0 away and Manchester United beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at Old Trafford.

And Arsenal overturned again, they were tied 0:0 by Sunderland at Highbury Stadium.

After playing against Tottenham Hotspur, Chen Ran led the Crystal Palace team to Madrid, Spain in the early morning of the next day.

Atletico Madrid has just undergone a coaching change. At the beginning of February, Abel Resino replaced the famous Mexican coach Javier Aguirre as the new head coach of Atletico Madrid.

This is good news for Crystal Palace.

However, Atlético de Madrid has many powerful players that people dare not underestimate. This is also an important reason why Chen Ran chose to hide his main force when he played against Tottenham Hotspur.

Also in Madrid, Mourinho's home.

Watching the news on TV reporting the arrival of the Crystal Palace team in Madrid, Mourinho looked gloomy.

In the current La Liga, Real Madrid is ranked second behind Barcelona by seven points.

The news that the Spanish media had previously hyped that Mourinho was not as good as Guardiola, Chen Ran's assistant coach, caused a lot of noise.

If only some people knew it before, those things can be said to be household names now.

Because, since the beginning of this season, Barcelona has been pressing Real Madrid tightly, firmly occupying the top position of the La Liga standings.

With the facts in front of us, more and more people agree that Mourinho is not as good as Guardiola. How can this make the always proud Mourinho feel embarrassed?

"Jorge, do you think Atletico Madrid have the ability to stop the progress of Crystal Palace?"

Mendes, smoking his beloved cigar, didn't even look at Mourinho.

He just asked indifferently, "What do you think?"

The corner of Mourinho's mouth twitched slightly, he turned his head and continued to watch the sports news about Crystal Palace, and stopped talking.
