Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 391 Smoke bombs

Real Madrid drew with Crystal Palace at home in the first leg, which made Mourinho full of confidence for the second leg.

He felt that the bus placement tactics he adopted worked well, and he planned to continue to implement them in away games.

Except for Ramos' suspension due to a red card, Mourinho has almost the same starting lineup as in the first round.

Forward Raul, forward Benzema
Central midfielder Las Diarra, Central midfielder Guti, Central midfielder Sneijder
Left back Marcelo, center back Heinze, center back Metzelder, center back Albiol, right back Salgado
goalkeeper casillas

On the Crystal Palace side, since Crystal Palace was tied by Real Madrid in the first round, Chen Ran judged that Mourinho will continue to play the bus in all likelihood.

Therefore, Chen Ran decided to give Mourinho a surprise, and he also asked Crystal Palace to adopt defensive counterattack tactics.

Anyway, Crystal Palace was tied 1:1 by Real Madrid in the away game. Even if they tied again at home 0:0 this time, Crystal Palace can also advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League by virtue of the advantage of the number of away goals.

There is no way, more than half of Crystal Palace's main players are injured, which is not enough to support him to continue to adopt a strong and oppressive style of play. Chen Ran can only find another way.

Forward Suarez, Forward Vardy
Central midfielder Yaya Toure, central midfielder Cesc Fabregas, central midfielder Mascherano
Left back Evra, center back Kompany, center back Thiago Silva, center back Vidic, right back Maicon
goalkeeper cech
After seeing Chen Ran's starting lineup, his two assistants, Southgate and Simeone, were stunned.

It is understandable that Ronaldo was injured and unable to play. Why is Messi not in the starting lineup now?
The two who could not understand Chen Ran's formation at all immediately questioned Chen Ran together.

"Boss, is it too risky for you to put Suarez and Vardy, two young players who just played for Crystal Palace this year, into the starting lineup for such a crucial game?"

Looking at the starting list, Southgate frowned. He really couldn't understand Chen Ran's arrangement.

"Gareth, don't underestimate these two little guys. Maybe they will surprise us in this match."

Chen Ran smiled mysteriously, and patted Southgate on the shoulder lightly.

Southgate hadn't reacted yet, but Simeone's heart moved, and he asked Chen Ran tentatively.

"Boss, are the two of them in particularly good form for this game?"

"That's right. Diego, you still have a quicker brain."

"Boss, do you mean that both of them can perform exceptionally well in this game like Chris did before?"

Southgate also reacted at this time, and asked suspiciously.

"correct answer."

"Haha, that's good, I really want to see Mourinho's expression, it will be very interesting!"

With Chen Ran's past successful experience as a guarantee, Southgate and Simeone were all relieved.

As for the side effects of the next three games, neither of them mentioned it.After all, whether it is Suarez or Vardy, they are now just substitute players for Crystal Palace.

Before announcing the starting list, Chen Ran also called Suarez and Vardy to his office.

Two little guys in their early twenties were suddenly called to the office by their boss, and they were nervous and restrained with naked eyes.

Or Vardy, a native Englishman, is more open-minded. When he first went to Crystal Palace for trial training, he dared to ask Chen Ran for food and lodging.

This time, he took the initiative to stand up.

"Boss, what's the matter with you calling the two of us here this year?"

"Well, there is indeed something, and it's a good thing."

"Really? Boss, what's the matter?"

Hearing something good, not only Vardy, but even Suarez, who stood silently aside, his eyes lit up.

"In the upcoming home game against Real Madrid in the Champions League, I'm going to put you two in the starting XI, with a double striker. How? Good news, isn't it?"

"Forget it, of course it does! Haha, thank you boss, I will definitely perform well."

Although he returned to Crystal Palace during the winter transfer period, Vardy never imagined that he could serve as the starting striker of Crystal Palace in such an important game.

You know, the current Crystal Palace is not the Crystal Palace when he came to try out.

Continuously defending the Premier League and Champions League titles has made Crystal Palace now recognized as the strongest team in the world.

Vardy, who was hit by a pie falling from the sky, danced with excitement.

Next to him, Suarez was also shocked by Chen Ran's arrangement, and couldn't believe his ears for a while.

"Boss, are you saying that I'm the starting striker with this guy Jamie?"

"What? Do you have any objections to partnering with me as a striker?"

Before Chen Ran could speak, Vardy gave Suarez an uncomfortable look.

The two guys were loaned to the Willem II Club in the Netherlands by Crystal Palace together, and they have already known each other for a long time.

Suarez likes to make pranks to trick Vardy. Vardy's brain is not as flexible as Suarez's, but his fists are harder than Suarez's. He often beats Suarez to howl.

"Ahem, I have no objection, I'm just confirming with the boss."

"You heard me right, the two of you will be starting strikers for Crystal Palace in the next game against Real Madrid."

Chen Ran pretended not to see the small moves between Vardy and Suarez. Regarding the matters between the players, he would not participate if he could not participate.

"And, in this game, I will give you two full trust. Whether it is shooting or passing, you can play whatever you want. Understand?"

"Really? Thank you, boss! I will not betray your trust and break the goal of Real Madrid."

This time, Suarez couldn't help but get excited.

This is the "right to fire freely", a treatment that usually only core players can enjoy.

Contrary to Suarez, Vardy fell silent at this time.

After hesitating for a while, he looked up at Chen Ran.

"Boss, is it possible that Luis and I will be in a particularly good state in this game, and then we will face a trough for three consecutive games?"

Vardy joined Crystal Palace much earlier than Suarez. He had been in the Crystal Palace youth team for a while, so he knew Chen Ran's ability to accurately judge the ups and downs of players.

"That's right. Don't spread this matter, you know?"

"Okay, boss. But, can I tell Luis?" Vardy pointed to Suarez, who was beside him with a confused face.

"Of course, Louis is also one of our own."

When Mourinho saw the starting list of Crystal Palace for this game, he was also taken aback.

Like Southgate and Simeone, he was also very puzzled that Chen Ran didn't put Messi in the starting lineup.

Is Messi and Ronaldo also injured?
Looking down, when Mourinho saw Messi's name in the list of substitute players, he immediately overturned his previous guess.

Since Messi was not injured, why didn't that guy Chen Ran use it?
Instead, they sent two little-known young generals?

For Suarez and Vardy, Mourinho only knows that they have just returned to Crystal Palace from the Dutch Willem II Club during the winter transfer period.

And in the recent period of time, they have also gotten some opportunities to play from time to time.

However, at least so far, the two little guys have not had any amazing performances.

Therefore, in Mourinho's eyes, these are just two young players with certain potential and talent that Chen Ran wants to train.

After careful consideration, Mourinho believed that Chen Ran was planning to use these two young men to consume the stamina of his defensive players.

When the physical fitness of the Real Madrid players declined, Chen Ran sent core players like Messi to launch a general attack.

Fxxxk!

That must be it!

This bastard Chen Ran is really insidious!
After suffering so many losses from Chen Ran, Mourinho did not hesitate to speculate on Chen Ran's intentions with the greatest malice.

Because Crystal Palace was tied 1:1 by Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium in the first round, the second round of the game once again attracted the attention of countless fans.

Especially when the starting list of Crystal Palace was announced, the entire post bar of Crystal Palace exploded immediately.

"Fuck! What does Chen Ran want to do? Give up the Champions League?"

"Aren't you too excited upstairs? Isn't it just sending two young teenagers, as for giving up the Champions League?"

"That's right. More than half of Crystal Palace's main players were injured, but now they are short of manpower. It is normal to use some young players."

"Damn, it takes time to use young players. This is the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and we are facing the top giants Real Madrid!"

"I said, have you all forgotten the nickname of that guy Chen Ran? The name 'Chicken Ran' is not for nothing. Do you think he will simply use new people because of injuries?"

"I'll go, what the upstairs said makes sense. This guy Chen Ran has such a good plan, there must be some conspiracy in it, maybe he's digging a hole for Mourinho again."

"Haha, the one upstairs has found out the truth, be careful not to be silenced by the thieves."

"In my opinion, Chen Ran probably wants to use these two young teenagers to consume the physical energy of Real Madrid's defensive players, and wait until the opponent's physical energy declines in the second half, and then send a core player like Messi to give the opponent a fatal blow."

"Awesome! Those upstairs can go to the Crystal Palace to replace Guardiola as Chen Ran's assistant coach."

"It's really possible that it's what I said above. Damn, Mourinho is too miserable. He's always being poached by Chen Ran, and now he's gone to Spain and hasn't escaped. Sympathy!"

"Sympathy +1!"

"Sympathy +2!"

"."

"Sympathy +10086!"

January 4th was sunny and sunny.

The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Crystal Palace and Real Madrid's second leg match did not start until [-] pm.

But in the afternoon, fans began to gather outside the Emirates Stadium, the home of Crystal Palace.

When designing the new stadium, Chen Ran required that the supporting facilities must be perfect.

Therefore, around this magnificent new Crystal Palace stadium, there are all kinds of businesses for eating, drinking and having fun.

Especially when the Emirates Stadium has become a new landmark in London, even when there is no game, it will attract tourists from all over the world to visit and play.

This caused the rent of the stores attached to the Crystal Palace Stadium to rise again and again, making Chen Ran go further and further on the road of being a charter company in England.

The tourists and the influx of fans added to the pressure on the London police responsible for security.

You must know that this is not a domestic game in England. There are still many Spanish fans who followed Real Madrid to London. Who knows if they will fight with the fans of Crystal Palace.

Of course, Chen Ran would not worry about these things.The Crystal Palace Club has paid the security fee in full, so let the London police have a headache.

In the locker room, apart from cheering the team members up as usual, Chen Ran quietly called up the system and gave Suarez and Vardy a "Level [-] chicken blood card" respectively.

Suarez and Vardy also seemed to feel something strange, and looked at their bodies suspiciously.

Chen Ran smiled slightly, turned and left the dressing room, and went straight to the bench of Crystal Palace.

When the players from both sides entered the field and took their positions, the entire Emirates Stadium was in an uproar.

The reason is very simple, because on the side of the Crystal Palace who kicked off first, standing next to the ball in the middle circle arc are two very strange faces.

If it weren't for the senior fans of Crystal Palace, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to call their names.

In the TV broadcast, no matter which country the commentator is, they are all in a hurry to introduce the information of Suarez and Vardy to the audience.

"According to the data, these two young teenagers have been loaned out to the Willem II Club in the Netherlands for exercise before, and they just returned to Crystal Palace during the winter transfer period not long ago."

"It's really unexpected that Mr. Chen Ran sent these two young players to start in such a crucial game."

"Cristiano Ronaldo was injured in the away game against Real Madrid, but Messi was not injured. From the camera, we can see that Messi is sitting on the bench of Crystal Palace. Could it be that Mr. Chen Ran wants to strike later? ?”

"The Chinese man often waited until the second half of the game to make a shot, and he will probably still do it today."

"The two teenagers, Suarez and Vardy, are probably sent by the Chinese to consume the physical energy of the Real Madrid players. When the Real Madrid players are exhausted, it is the best time for the core players like Messi to play."

"It seems that the Chinese man really planned carefully for this game."

"Now it's up to Mourinho to respond."
