Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 55 How can people be so shameless?

Breaking through dense defense is a world-class problem. Sunderland is only a relegated team from the Premier League. No matter how confident McCarthy is, he can't guarantee that he can break through the iron barrel formation of Crystal Palace.

"This Chinese man, is he going to stick to it to the end?"

McCarthy turned his head and glanced at Chen Ran in the distance. It was difficult now.

As McCarthy expected, although Sunderland had an absolute advantage on the field, despite the storm, the Crystal Palace, a small sampan in the vast ocean, would not sink.

The experienced Southgate is like a skilled tinkerer, helping his teammates fill in the loopholes everywhere.

Wherever there is a mistake, he can be seen there.

In addition, Southgate, as the captain, spared no effort to defend everywhere, which greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of those young teammates on the field.

If there are statistics at this time, it can be found that the running distance of the Crystal Palace players is [-]% more than the same period in the past.

However, there is always a sparseness in a hundred secrets.

Thiago Silva, who didn't have many chances to play before, was fooled by the Sunderland forward in a defense. He didn't grasp the timing of stretching his feet well, and was successfully tricked into a penalty by his opponent.

Under the interference of Chiellini, Sunderland's right midfielder barely passed a low-quality cross.

The ball was not passed, the arc of the ball was very low, and it was about to land before it reached the front post.

Thiago Silva saw that the ball was very difficult, and he could easily destroy it out of the penalty area.

In order not to give the opponent a corner kick, he adjusted and wanted to drive the ball out of the touchline with his left foot.

However, Sunderland's striker is very clever.Before Thiago Silva touched the ball with his left foot, he put his foot between the ball and Thiago Silva.

This time, Thiago Silva kicked the Sunderland striker's foot.

"what!"

The Sunderland striker fell to the ground.

His voice was shrill and his expression was painful.

Without any hesitation, the referee whistled a penalty immediately.

Why is it a penalty?
When did that foot come over?
Thiago Silva was stupid at the time. He finally got a chance to start. If the team's winning streak is broken due to his own fault, will the coach still use him in the future?
At this moment, Thiago Silva felt that the sky of the entire Stadium of Light was gray.

No way, Thiago Silva at this time is still very young and inexperienced, far from being the world's top central defender in later generations.

Perhaps, this is the price to pay for growth.

Chen Ran, who witnessed the whole process from the sidelines, shook his head helplessly.

What can he say?If you want to take advantage of these future stars before they mature, you must be mentally prepared to pay their tuition fees for them.

Offensive players can also rely on flashes of talent, while defensive players can only rely on game-by-game accumulation of experience.

This way, there are no shortcuts.

Southgate stepped forward to comfort the crying Thiago Silva, and then began to direct the team to prepare for the penalty.

"boom!"

The ball hit the net.

Although Cech judged the right direction, but because the angle was too tricky, he could only watch the ball into the net in the end.

Sunderland 1:0 Crystal Palace.

"Oh"

The Stadium of Light can accommodate more than 4 people. Because Sunderland is playing against the league leaders in this game, more than 3 spectators came today.Seeing the home team score, the entire stadium suddenly became a sea of ​​joy.

"Hey, I tried my best and still couldn't hold the first half."

Chen Ran sighed softly, things cannot always go according to his own ideas.

Looking down at his watch, the game was only half an hour past.

How to do?
Change now?

Is it too early?

Chen Ran looked back at Cesc Fabregas, and then at Sunderland's bench.It happened that McCarthy was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other.

They nodded to each other, and Chen Ran's heart moved. It seems that this McCarthy is also concerned about whether he has changed.

Then make him nervous first?
Yes, just do it.

Chen Ran then turned around to greet Cesc Fabregas and drove him to warm up.

McCarthy, who had been following Chen Ran's every move, immediately noticed the movement on the Crystal Palace bench.

No, Crystal Palace is going to launch a counterattack.

Crystal Palace's winning streak since the beginning of the season has allowed all teams to see their scoring ability.Sensing that Chen Ran was going to change his formation to attack, McCarthy's heart immediately rang the alarm.

Thinking of this, McCarthy hurried to the sidelines and called the captain over while the ball was dead.He told him that Crystal Palace might have to change their offense, and asked the players to strengthen their defense and prepare for the battle.

Sunderland deserves to be a team that has just come down from the Premier League, and the players' tactical quality is quite high.

As soon as McCarthy's order was issued, the team began to shrink the formation.The offensive momentum immediately dropped, and the pressure on Crystal Palace's defense was greatly relieved.

After warming up for 5 minutes, Cesc Fabregas returned to the bench and began to change into the playing equipment.

After 3 minutes, Fabregas, who had changed his equipment, was called to the sidelines by Chen Ran again, and began to give instructions face to face.

Chen Ran put one arm around Cesc Fabregas' shoulder, and covered his mouth with the other.

"Cesc, no matter what I say next, you have to keep nodding your head, pretending to understand and understand, and not be surprised, understand?"

Cesc Fabregas was taken aback for a moment, then tried hard to control his expression, and nodded stiffly.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Fabregas followed Chen Ran's example and asked while covering his mouth with his hand.

"Relieve our defensive pressure."

"What? Can this relieve the defensive pressure?"

Cesc Fabregas was dumbfounded, did he stand on the sidelines and chat to ease the pressure on the team's defense?
La Masia didn't teach this.

However, standing on the sidelines at this time, he clearly saw that Sunderland had indeed begun to shrink its formation and reduce its offensive momentum.

what happened?

Does this trick really work?

Is it because I am too young and have too little knowledge about football?
At this moment, Fabregas felt that his understanding of football had reached a new level.

Soccer can still be played like this.

The boss deserves to be the boss, he is just amazing.

So, under Cesc Fabregas' adoring eyes, Chen Ran chatted with him about his life in La Masia until the referee blew the halftime whistle.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Chen Ran walked straight back to the bench with Fabregas in his arms, ignoring the sharp sword-like gaze from afar.

McCarthy was going crazy.

After he gave the order to shrink the formation, he saw Chen Ran standing on the sidelines and teaching Fabregas face-to-face.

Moreover, this Chinese man pays great attention to details, and deliberately covered his lips with his hands. He must be making important arrangements.

Hmph, fortunately, I reacted quickly.

When Cesc Fabregas played, Sunderland had already prepared to deal with it.

And there is not much time before the end of the first half, and the substitution of Crystal Palace has not played a big role.

Thinking of this, McCarthy secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

His on-the-spot command response is fast, and becoming a famous coach is just around the corner.

However, Crystal Palace made no substitutions until the end of the first half.

This liar!

It's too despicable, too shameless, too insidious!
How can people be so shameless?
