Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 40 Some difficulties cannot be avoided

"Dennis Wise."

"It's him?"

Chen Ran really had an impression of this person.

Before Abramovich moved into Chelsea, Chelsea could only be regarded as a mid-to-lower team in the Premier League.

But under the leadership of captain Dennis Wise, Chelsea won the FA Cup in 1997 and the League Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup and European Super Cup in 1998.

He himself was also named the 1998 England Footballer of the Year.

Dennis Wise at his peak was indeed terrifying, but isn't this person already old?
Chen Ran called up the system and checked Dennis Wise's information.

Good guy, born in 1966, will be 37 soon.

Moreover, his current ability value data has also dropped sharply, so he shouldn't pose too much of a threat, otherwise he won't be swept out by Chelsea.

"Gareth, if I remember correctly, this Dennis Wise is almost 37 years old, is he still in good shape?"

To be cautious, Chen Ran confirmed with Southgate again.

"Well, there is no such thing, otherwise he would not be sold cheaply by Chelsea to Leicester City. Boss, what I want to remind you is not Dennis Wise's current state, but this person's temper."

Hearing Southgate's words, Chen Ran also remembered some anecdotes about Dennis Wise in his previous life.

This guy has always been known for his tough personality and strong agitation, and he is also a well-known villain in English football. He was also nicknamed "Angry Mouse".

"Tell me in detail."

Chen Ran also became cautious at this time. Since Southgate specifically mentioned this person, there must be his reasons.

Besides, I was not a Chelsea fan in my previous life.He also read all the news about Dennis Wise from the Internet, but he didn't understand it in depth.

Now that there is Southgate, who has played against Dennis Wise many times in the Premier League and has had close contact with the England national team before, Chen Ran naturally needs to get to know him better.

"Boss, do you know how Dennis Wise got to Millwall?"

"I really don't know about this."

"After Dennis Wise was sold to Leicester City by Chelsea, he had a dispute over playing cards. He beat his teammate Galen Davidson and fractured two cheekbones, and was expelled from Leicester City. Only came to Millwall last year."

"OMG!"

"This guy even beats his teammates?"

Before Chen Ran could express his shock, Guardiola and Simeone exclaimed first.

"And that's not all. The guy is a repeat offender and has been fined by the FA for more fights than he can count. He also smashed a cab for arguing with a taxi driver. Jailed. 3 months, and finally settled with a fine."

For a while, Chen Ran also fell silent.

The old saying goes well: when a scholar meets a soldier, it is hard to explain why.

Chen Ran is not afraid of the strength of the opponent, it is nothing more than soldiers coming to block and water coming to cover him.

But for Dennis Wise, a villain on the court, he really has nothing to do.

What Chen Ran is most afraid of is that Dennis Wise will directly hurt someone with black feet after losing on the court.

For Crystal Palace, the current player configuration is just enough.

No matter who is hurt, it is a huge loss.

From the point of view of position, the most likely to be selected as the target by Dennis Wise are the two wingers Ronaldo and Ribery.

Chen Ranke has no suitable substitutes for these two positions.

what to do?Could it be that Ronaldo and Ribery are hidden in this game?This idea suddenly popped up in Chen Ran's mind.

No, if you do this, then maybe other teams will discover your weaknesses.

If the teams in the future send villain-type players to deal with themselves, then Crystal Palace will be in big trouble.

Do you want to remind Ronaldo and Ribery in advance, let them be careful not to be black-footed by Dennis Wise?
But if the two of them were afraid of kicking because of this, and they didn't dare to let go and break through others, wouldn't they just fall into the opponent's trap?

Besides, Ronaldo and Franck Ribery are still young. In their future careers, they will inevitably encounter a villainous player like Dennis Wise. Do they have to hide and kick every time?

If this happens, can they still grow into world-class stars?

Thinking of this, Chen Ran gritted his teeth. If he wanted to become a top player, he would have to pass this test sooner or later, even if he would pay some price for it.

Seeing that Chen Ran didn't speak for a long time, and the whole room fell into silence, the three of Southgate waited anxiously for Chen Ran to make up his mind.

"Gareth"

After a long time, Chen Ran finally spoke again.

"Boss, what are you going to do?"

"The matter of Dennis Wise is only known to the few of us, so don't tell other players. However, the three of you must keep an eye on Dennis Wise, especially you Gareth. As long as you find that he is about to play black If there is any sign of feet, go up and warn him immediately. Understand?"

"clear."

Millwall and Crystal Palace are both in south London. The advantage is that the distance is close, and the away game saves a long journey; but the disadvantage is more obvious, because the two clubs are direct competitors.

This kind of competition, from the results to the ownership of the fans, is everywhere.

Now Crystal Palace has a wave of four consecutive victories, ranking first in the English Championship, which has attracted many former Millwall fans to watch the Crystal Palace at home.

After all, for most non-die-hard fans, watching football games on weekends is about relaxing.Therefore, of course everyone is more willing to watch the winning game.

Fans mean tickets, but also the income of the club, which is more directly related to the source of income of the players.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Although the British do not understand Chinese, the truth is still the same.

Therefore, today Crystal Palace is a guest at Millwall, so that the Millwall team is gearing up and down, ready to give Crystal Palace a resounding slap in the face.

Let the fans see who is the strongest team in South London.

Millwall's home stadium, the Neal Stadium, is smaller than Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park Stadium and can only accommodate 2 people.

However, today's Neal Stadium is surprisingly full of spectators.

After all, this is also a South London derby.

"Guys, Millwall is in south London with Crystal Palace, so today's game is also a south London derby."

"What the derby means, I think you as players should know better than me. So, here I want to remind you that this is a head-to-head battle, and you must not shrink back. In addition, you must learn to be smart Don’t be fooled by your opponent. Do you understand?”

"Yes, Sir!"

Four consecutive victories made the morale of the Crystal Palace players high, and they responded loudly in unison.

In the end, Chen Ran couldn't help reminding him.

It's just that how many people can listen to it can only be resigned to fate.

The battle is imminent!
