Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 58 Red Dot Package
Therefore, in the following training, the Crystal Palace players discovered that Modric was placed in a new position by the coach, the same position as Guardiola and Fabregas.

To the surprise of many, Modric was adaptable enough to quickly play decently in his new position.

Moreover, due to his solid basic skills, the accuracy of long-distance long passes after getting the ball in the backcourt is quite high.

After a few days of training, apart from the lack of physical strength, it is a bit difficult to intercept the opponent's offensive players.

Modric's ability in the new position is no less than that of Cesc Fabregas in this position, which also convinced Southgate and Simeone of Chen Ran's arrangement.

Seeing that the effect of Modric's change of position is really good, Chen Ran plans to try it in the next round of the league and test it in actual combat.

Crystal Palace will host Bradford in the eighth round of the Championship.

Because of the home game, Chen Ran didn't want to play too ugly like the first half of the away game against Sunderland.

It is also because, compared to Crystal Palace, Bradford is considered a weak team, currently only ranked 16th in the English Championship, which gives Chen Ran room for trial and error.

In this game, Chen Ran adopted Southgate's British 442 tactics. The starting lineup is:

Forward Tony, Forward Crouch
Left midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo, central midfielder Modric, central midfielder Simeone, right midfielder Ribery

Left back Chiellini, centre-back Southgate, centre-back Vidic, right-back Maicon
goalkeeper cech
The game went well, because Bradford's attack power is not strong, so Modric's current weakness of physical confrontation is well covered up.

With Simeone's help, there were basically no major mistakes.

In fact, under the repeated high-altitude bombing of the Twin Towers of the Crystal Palace, Bradford did not have a few decent offensive opportunities.

Under Modric's dispatch, Ronaldo and Ribery continued to send crosses to the opponent's penalty area on both sides.

As a result, Crystal Palace scored four goals in one breath in this game, all of which were headers.

In Chen Ran's tactical arrangement, if playing the double-tower tactic, one of the two big and tall players is responsible for grabbing the front point, the other is responsible for grabbing the middle point, and the rear point is handed over to the wide players on the other side to rush into the penalty area to grab the point.

Therefore, when the cross came from Franck Ribery on the right, Crouch, Tony and Ronaldo in the penalty area perfectly formed the front, center and rear three-point outflanking.

But if the cross comes from Ronaldo from the left, this tactical arrangement will be flawed.

Because of Ribery's poor height, it is really difficult for him to grab the header.

Facts have also proved this point. Of the four headers, Tony scored two, Crouch scored one, and Ronaldo scored one.

Because the game went so smoothly, after taking a four-goal lead, Chen Ran simply replaced Simeone, Southgate and Tony, who had not had much rest, with Yaya Toure, Thiago Silva and Pepe. .

Yaya Toure and Pepe acted as double midfielders, Modric played as a midfielder, Thiago Silva and Vidic partnered as a central defender.

As a result, this substitution can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest.

Playing less than 10 minutes, I don't know if it's because he rarely played too much or for other reasons, Pepe directly came with a red dot set meal.

Chen Ran almost vomited blood watching from the sidelines. He was so meow that he forgot that the current Pepe was not the mature Pepe later.

In his previous life, Pepe gradually matured in the middle and late stages of Real Madrid.Before that, there was no shortage of bastard things.

However, Chen Ran's impression of Pepe is still more in the stage of his maturity.

I was careless, I played too smoothly today and it was a bit floating.

Chen Ran self-criticized on the sidelines, but still greeted Pepe who was coming down from the field.

"The next time you defend, don't move so much, use more hands and less feet, you know?"

Chen Ran patted Peipei's shoulder while talking, there is no way, the person who bought it by himself is responsible for it.

"Boss, I'm sorry. I only kicked it when I saw it. Who knew that guy poked the ball one step ahead of time."

Peipei looked aggrieved, and while explaining to Chen Ran, she was still imitating her actions just now, trying to prove that she was not targeting people.

"I know, I know. It's okay, just pay attention to your movements next time."

Chen Ran kept reassuring, but he didn't understand what Pepe was saying at all.

For Pepe, who was born in Brazil and later played football in Portugal, and has always spoken Portuguese, he only started learning English after he moved to Crystal Palace.

He was not proficient in the beginning, but now that he was emotional, there was a lot of Portuguese mixed in, so it's no wonder Chen Ran could understand it.

After finally appeasing Pepe, Chen Ran immediately made new adjustments.

Now that there are no substitutions, he can only let Modric return to the position of the midfielder again to fill the vacancy left by Pepe's dismissal, and the formation becomes 441.

After Bradford scored a penalty kick, he seemed to have been beaten to death.

Their head coach may want to take advantage of Crystal Palace being sent off to score a few more goals.As a result, the whole team began to press on the offense frantically.

As the saying goes, if you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy.

Now Bradford is a little bit crazy.

Originally shrunk back to play defensive counterattack and was scored four by Crystal Palace, but now they are overwhelmed by offense?
The loopholes in Bradford's backcourt suddenly became countless.

Soon, Thiago Silva passed directly to Modric after stealing the ball in the backcourt, and Modric sent a big foot to Ronaldo's feet.

It may be because after Tony left the field, there was only one Crouch left in the penalty area.

This time Ronaldo didn't consider making a bottom pass, but took the ball directly to Bradford's penalty area and killed it.

Ronaldo, who was at the peak of his previous life, played simple and practical football, and it was hard to see his fancy moves.

But now, it is the peak period of fancy Ronaldo.If the opponent is not strong, then his extraordinary moves are really pleasing to the eye.

I saw that after Ronaldo passed two defenders, he passed the opponent's goalkeeper. Finally, with a flick of his ankle, he pushed the ball into the net, and a one-stop came.

This time, the score of 5:1 completely stunned Bradford.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

In this way, Chen Ran once again gained three points and 100 million euros without any risk.

Eight consecutive victories, eight consecutive victories at the start of the league. Although many media reporters are tired of writing about Crystal Palace, they still have to write.

No way, who makes people get good grades?

When several acquainted reporters got together to drink, they all lamented, and they agreed to hold Chen Ran high first, and then fell heavily.

But, after this guy went up, why didn't he stay there?
