Chapter 400 New Rewards
This time, central defender Marcos had no choice but to push out from Barcelona's penalty area to defend.

Seeing another tall player, Messi played a croquette this time. After passing Marcos again, he continued to dribble towards the goalkeeper Valdez.

Just when Messi was about to hit the goal, Pique found that the situation was not good, so he had to leave Suarez, who he was in charge of marking, and tried to block Messi's shot with a sliding shovel.

Sensing Pique's action, Messi immediately played a fake pass and pushed the ball to Suarez, who is now unmarked.

Faced with such a good opportunity, Suarez naturally couldn't let it go.

Chen Ran used the "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card", and he was at the peak of his career in this match.

Suarez didn't stop the ball at all, and volleyed directly against the ball.

"boom!"

This shot is powerful and has a tricky angle. In addition, goalkeeper Valdez has moved his position in advance in order to block Messi's shot.

Now he wants to turn back and save Suarez's shot, but it is beyond his reach.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With an assist from Messi and a goal from Suarez, Crystal Palace lead Barcelona 1-0.

"I didn't expect it. Crystal Palace, which has been shrinking its defense, scored the first goal."

"Barcelona has not attacked with all its strength. It is estimated that they are afraid of Crystal Palace's counterattack. In the end, they still failed to defend."

"It's not easy for Barcelona. They can only attack with all their strength. But in this way, they will leave a lot of counterattack opportunities for Crystal Palace."

"If one side scores first, the balance of the entire game is broken in an instant, and there will be a good show to watch next."

"That's right. This Champions League final is now the real start."

Just as the game commentators analyzed, Guardiola can no longer sit still now.

He knows best how strong Crystal Palace's defensive ability is.

When he was at Crystal Palace, Guardiola was in charge of the team's offensive tactical drills, while Simeone was in charge of the team's defensive tactical drills.

When fighting in groups in the team, he often competed with Simeone.

The result is that the offensive side commanded by Guardiola is rarely able to defeat the defensive side commanded by Simeone.

You know, at that time, his team concentrated the core offensive players of Crystal Palace such as Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka, Tony and Modric.

Now, Guardiola knows he can only put all his eggs in one basket.

Seeing Guardiola yelling for Barcelona's players to press forward on the sidelines, Southgate immediately moved to Chen Ran's side.

"Boss, we have now taken the lead. As long as we keep this lead until the end of the game, the championship trophy will be ours. Shall we add another defensive player?"

"Don't worry. As long as Messi and Suarez are in front of them, Barcelona must leave more people to mark them."

"But if we keep one striker up front, Barcelona will be easy to mark. So keeping Messi and Suarez is more effective than adding a defensive player, understand?"

Chen Ran used two "first-level chicken blood cards" on Messi and Suarez. He knows how powerful Messi and Suarez are at their peak. How could they give up?

Although Guardiola ordered Barcelona's players to fully attack, out of fear of Crystal Palace's ability to counterattack, he still left two central defenders, Marcos and Pique, behind.

And it is required that the two full-backs Abidal and Puyol cannot go up to participate in the attack at the same time, and at least one person must be left to assist in marking Messi and Suarez.

Although Guardiola was careful enough, he still underestimated the current abilities of Messi and Suarez. He didn't know that Chen Ran used the "first-level blood card" for these two guys.

In his heart, Messi is the most threatening counterattack point.

And Suarez, a young player who has been loaned to the Willem II Club in the Netherlands for a long time, is at best a wingman who attracts defensive attention for Messi.

As for the goal that Suarez scored before, it was also after Messi passed several people in a row and attracted all of Barcelona's defensive forces, and scored while no one was defending.

Therefore, Guardiola deliberately arranged for the experienced Marcos and the full-backs to double-team Messi, but only let Pique, who is still relatively immature, mark Suarez.

When Cech once again saved Eto'o's shot, and then kicked the ball into the Barcelona half with a big foot, Suarez immediately rushed towards the ball's landing point at high speed.

At this time, Pique, who has been with Suarez, also started at the same time.While running, he reached out to pull Suarez.

Now Suarez feels that he has endless energy all over his body.Pique pulled him a few times but didn't stop him. Pique didn't dare to move too much because he was worried about getting a card. In the end, he could only follow Suarez to chase the ball.

Pique's speed is not as good as Suarez, but Suarez rushed to the ball's landing point first.

At this time, the ball is at least 35 meters away from Barcelona's goal, and the success rate of the shot is too low.

Pique was only thinking about how to prevent Suarez from rushing into his penalty area with the ball. He never thought that Suarez would shoot directly.

However, Suarez just doesn't play his cards according to common sense.While the ball was still bouncing on the turf, he charged forward with all his strength and volleyed.

"boom!"

The ball draws a strange arc, flying to the left when leaving Suarez's feet, but halfway through the flight, it suddenly turns to the right.

When the ball was about to fly to the Barcelona goal, it suddenly fell and jumped directly to the upper left corner of the Barcelona goal.

Goalkeeper Valdez reacted very quickly. As soon as Suarez finished his shot, he had already started to move his feet and prepare to save.

But when he moved to the right position and was about to jump off the ground, he suddenly found that the ball was flying in the opposite direction.

By the time he wanted to turn around and save him, it was already too late.

Valdes could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into Barcelona's net from in front of him.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Suarez's brace, Crystal Palace lead Barcelona 2-0.

If there is still hope for Barcelona to reverse when Crystal Palace leads by one goal.So Crystal Palace is now leading by two goals, and no one has hope for Barcelona anymore.

Because, since Chen Ran entered the Crystal Palace, no team has ever been able to do this.

Of course Guardiola knew this too. Looking at Suarez who was celebrating wildly in the stadium, he could only shake his head helplessly.

This guy, who has been on loan since he was bought by Crystal Palace, turned out to be the key player in this Champions League final.

Turning his head and quietly glanced at the Crystal Palace bench, Guardiola sighed secretly in his heart.

The boss is the boss, who would have thought that a young player who had been bought and hadn't been used for several years could be used as a trump card?

However, things have developed to this point, and he has no way out.

Guardiola gritted his teeth, called Belarusian midfielder Hleb from the bench, and then used him to replace Busquez, the only defensive midfielder in Barcelona's midfielder.

"Is Josep crazy? He doesn't want to defend?"

Seeing Barcelona's substitution adjustment, Southgate suddenly exclaimed.

"Hehe, Gareth, is there any point in Barcelona's defense now? Losing two and losing three are the same results for Barcelona. So, Josep is planning to go all out."

Simeone is relatively calm, and he empathizes with Guardiola's current situation.

If it were him, he would take the same measures as Guardiola.No way, who made the boss really powerful.

Chen Ran didn't respond to Guardiola's substitution adjustment.

He was still sitting firmly on the bench, motionless as a mountain.

"Damn it! Chen Ran is really amazing. Who would have thought that he would use a little-known brat as his trump card, and the effect would be so good."

"Yeah. I thought it was because Crystal Palace had too many injuries, so they had to use new players in this Champions League final. It turned out that this was a special move specially arranged by Chen Ran. This guy is really a thief."

"Haha, why don't you call it 'chicken thief'? It deserves its name. It's just that Guardiola is a bit too miserable. I didn't expect him to stay with Chen Ran for so long, but he still fell into Chen Ran's side." in the hole dug."

"It seems that at least in a short period of time, no one can challenge Chen Ran, the world's strongest football coach."

Guardiola's substitution adjustment certainly strengthened Barcelona's offensive threat.But correspondingly, the loopholes in their defense were completely exposed to Messi and Suarez.

Just when Barcelona's players were attacking around the Crystal Palace's defense, Cech once again launched a counterattack.

After embracing the new Hleb to take a long shot, Cech quickly got up, threw the ball with a strong hand, and threw the ball to Fabregas in midfield.

Cesc Fabregas first stopped and passed, swaying away from Iniesta's harassment.Then he immediately used the footwork of shooting to draw the ball to the frontcourt.

In this pass, Fabregas used great power.The ball flew against the turf for a distance of more than 30 meters, and was ready to be sent to Messi's forward line.

"Oh! Cesc Fabregas's pass was like a scalpel, easily cutting through Barcelona's defense."

Just when the game commentator was admiring the ultra-long-distance through racket case, Messi took the ball and rushed towards the penalty area of ​​Barcelona.

At this time, because Barcelona has already pressed across the board, there are only two central defenders Pique and Marcos left in the backcourt defense, and goalkeeper Valdez.

As for the two full-backs, Abidal and Puyol, both of them have overtaken halftime to participate in the attack just now, and they haven't had time to come back yet.

Faced with Messi's pressing step by step, Pique had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet him.

That's right, it's Pique.

Because Suarez, who he was in charge of marking before, had scored two goals in a row, Guardiola had to switch to the more experienced Marcos to defend Suarez.

As for Pique, now he can only rely on himself to defend Messi one-on-one.

Also from La Masia, Pique knows Messi too well.

As for whether he can guard Messi, he has no certainty in his heart.

Seeing that it is Pique who is defending himself now, Messi has no intention of showing mercy.As soon as the small steps fell, Pique was stunned by a few fake moves.

After passing Pique, Messi dribbled the ball directly into the Barcelona penalty area.

Finding that the situation was critical, Marcos planned to give up Suarez, who was marking him, and come to make up for it.

At this time, Messi made a fake move to pass the ball to Suarez, which frightened Marcos to stop coming to defend.

After discovering that Marcos had been duped, Messi continued to dribble towards Barcelona's goal.

This time, Valdez knew that no one could help him now, and he could only rely on himself.

So, Valdez immediately abandoned the door and attacked, and rushed towards Messi.

Looking at the menacing Valdes, Messi did not panic.With a slight flick of the ankle, a light lob shot.The ball went over Valdez's head and flew directly into Barcelona's net.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

Crystal Palace lead Barcelona 3-0 with Messi's effortless lob.

As soon as the third goal was scored, everyone knew that there was no suspense in this game.

Even in the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, there has been a phenomenon of Barcelona fans leaving the stadium.

Guardiola, who had been standing on the sidelines to direct the game before, turned around and returned to the bench to sit down.He stared blankly at the field with both eyes, without saying a word.

On the side of the Crystal Palace bench, Chen Ran had some movement at this time, and he called Southgate to his side.

"Gareth, tell Beckham and Alves to warm up now. They will replace Cesc Fabregas and Maicon in a while, and the team's formation and style of play will remain the same. Understand?"

"Okay, boss."

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, the entire Crystal Palace bench is filled with joyful atmosphere.

Chen Ran just glanced at it lightly, and finally said nothing.

In the next game, although Barcelona continued to attack the Crystal Palace, their energy was not as good as before.

Fortunately, near the end of the game, Barcelona scored a face-saving goal by Ibrahimovic, which finally didn't make it too ugly.

In the end, with Suarez's brace and Messi's goal, Crystal Palace defeated Barcelona 3:1 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and successfully defended their UEFA Champions League title this season.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the UEFA Champions League, and a bonus of 4000 million euros for winning."

"Ding, reward the host with a chance to serve as the head coach of the national team. Whether to accept it or not is up to the host to decide."
