Chapter 206 Regrettably Not Signing Ronaldo

Due to a mistake in the early morning, chapter 206 was wrongly written as chapter 207, so I will correct it.Happy New Year!
……

On January 2022, 1, the Premier League winter window transfer period opens.Various clubs are gearing up to buy people to strengthen, and sell people to get rid of the burden.

Three new aids came to the Crystal Palace training base today.They are the Brazilian supernova Alves signed by the Santos club for 3 million, and the goalkeeper; the central defender Houding signed by the Arsenal club for 1.22 million; the technical midfielder Pereira signed by the Chelsea club for 1.8 million.

The arrival of newcomers is always full of joy.Naturally, it also makes the players in the original position feel a little bit of pressure. After all, the position on the field is limited. If you don't work hard, you will be replaced.

Of course, the signing of the contract is definitely not over.Because of the wonderful performance in the first half of the league, the players in the team have attracted the attention of many giants.Wu Haowen knows that in the coming days, Crystal Palace will be the main output of players.

On the same day, Xiao Ai reminded Wu Haowen that there are several outstanding players on the shortlist whose contracts are about to expire. If they want to sign, they need to start as soon as possible.The most dazzling one is naturally Ronaldo.

The 36-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo currently has 6 months left in his contract with Juventus. Wu Haowen personally contacted Ronaldo to ask about his signing intention.But it is a pity that Ronaldo is not optimistic about Crystal Palace. After all, Crystal Palace is only a team in the Europa League. This is very attractive to Ronaldo, who is ambitious and has no desires.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries on the phone, the call ended. Ronaldo can't sign for the time being. After all, Crystal Palace has only made achievements in the Premier League so far, and still has 0 results in the Champions League.

Although Ronaldo is old, Ronaldo's competitive state and ability still surpass many players, and even belongs to the ranks of top stars in the Premier League.But from this point, we can see Ronaldo's hard work and diligence.

Give me another year and I'm sure I can sign you.Wu Haowen said silently in his heart.

Originally, he had the idea of ​​persuading Ronaldo through Mendez's relationship, but then he thought about it, Ronaldo's arrogance would not take a fancy to the current Crystal Palace, so he fulfilled his wish and worked hard to improve himself.

At the same time, Wu Haowen made offers to Arsenal's Ozil and Manchester City's Aguero respectively.Although they are 33 years old, their influence is still huge.

The so-called giants must have top dazzling stars. If Ronaldo cannot come, they can sign these former top players first to increase the reputation of Crystal Palace.

At the same time, the contract of Paris Saint-Germain's 19-year-old rising star French teenager Brandon Boni is about to expire, so he signed it immediately without hesitation.

On the afternoon of January 1, at Selhurst Park, the third round of the FA Cup was underway.

In this game, Wu Haowen unexpectedly made all 3 new players start.This confuses many people.Because after new players enter the team, they need to familiarize themselves with the tactics and develop a tacit understanding with the original players through a series of training games and practice games.

And Wu Haowen's bold approach is unbelievable.Unless he was convinced early on that the battle would be won.

You know, the opponent in this game is West Bromwich Albion, which has stabilized in the Premier League since the Chinese capital took control.Moreover, Zhang Yuning, Wu Haowen and Zheng Fengwei in the formation are all old acquaintances.

Speaking of which, there is still a small episode.Chief scout Sclanders recommended Zhang Yuning to himself, and Wu Haowen also recognized Zhang Yuning's ability very much, so he asked football director Rivalta to try to make an offer to West Bromwich Albion.

As a result, West Bromwich Albion marked Zhang Yuning's worth of 3.4 million yuan. Out of his own job, Rivalta rejected the other party's asking price and withdrew his offer.

Zhang Yuning is to West Bromwich Albion what Messi is to Barcelona.Of course, West Bromwich Albion's asking price is an inflated offer on the one hand, and it also wants to test the bottom line of Crystal Palace on the other hand.Because the battle is imminent, you must devote yourself wholeheartedly.

But after so many games, Crystal Palace is no longer afraid of any team.The same is true of this game.

In the 14th minute, Crystal Palace got a left corner kick.Sandro kicked the ball into the penalty area and was pushed out of the penalty area by West Bromwich Albion player David Luiz in the left penalty area.

The new aid Andreas Pereira, who had just started, quickly caught up with the ball and passed it again to Sandro on the left sideline.Sandro safely chose to pass back to Houding, who is also a new aid.Houding glanced at the positions of his teammates in the penalty area, and finally chose to pass the ball safely to Insua who was closest to him.

Insua immediately split the ball to the middle and handed it to Watson.Watson took the ball and continued to run towards the middle of the penalty area, saw a gap, and immediately kicked and shot.

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper John Stone fought hard to make a save, but regrettably crossed his eyes with the ball and failed to intercept it.The ball went into the net.

Crystal Palace leads the opponent 1:0.

In the 39th minute, West Bromwich Albion scored a goal kick.Goalkeeper Johnstone took the goal kick with a big foot and kicked the ball towards the midfield.Crystal Palace's Russell dominated the high-altitude ball by virtue of his height advantage.Headed the ball back before Sam Field.

Unexpectedly, the ball flew to Luiz's feet. Luiz immediately distributed the ball to the left and wanted to hand it to his teammate Diego Rico, but Albino got the ball first.

Albino glanced at his teammates in front of him for a moment when he touched the ball, and then kicked the ball forward with his left foot.Forward Sandro just ran to the point where the ball landed and continued to move forward with the ball.

At this moment, Sandro is running fast. Although there are two West Bromwich Albion defenders behind him, Sandro is full of confidence, because he is now facing only goalkeeper John Stone.

Johnstone took the initiative to attack Sandro.Sandro was unmoved, and when they were about to meet, he made a fake move to shake the goalkeeper away, flicked the ball to the right, and then pushed with his right foot.The ball rolls into the net on the right.

Crystal Palace 2:0 opponent.

In stoppage time, Houding returned a pass to the new aid goalkeeper Alves, Alves immediately kicked to the left side and handed it to Insua.Insua immediately passed the ball to Watson.

Watson ran forward with the ball, and after halftime, he passed the ball across the midfield to the right with a big foot and handed it to teammate Albino.

Albino ran forward with the ball. On the right side parallel to the sideline of the small penalty area, a side kick came from the right side. Zheng Fengwei in front of the goal flashed and pushed the goal.Help Crystal Palace continue to expand the score advantage.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again.

In the 47th minute of the game, West Bromwich Albion defender Rico made a clearance and kicked the ball forward.His teammate Zhang Yuning just received the pass.Zhang Yuning ran forward with the ball quickly, and then saw that his teammate Odegao was in a good position during the run, and immediately passed the ball to the left to the unmarked Odegao.

Odegaard dribbled the ball into the penalty area, then took advantage of the Crystal Palace defenders not paying attention, and gave the ball to teammate Adam Armstrong in the middle.Armstrong volleyed directly, and Alves struggled to save, but failed to change the direction of the ball.

Just as Armstrong rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly, the audience found that the linesman had already raised the flag.

Offside!Goal invalid!

This penalty also immediately extinguished West Bromwich Albion's desire to win.

Zhang Yuning stepped forward to argue, but was forcibly pulled away by his teammates.The result of arguing with the referee is to get a card.

The interlude of this penalty does not affect the progress of the game.In the 54th minute, Pereira passed the ball to Albino in the penalty area on the right side near the sideline of the penalty area. Albino received the ball and directly hit the goal with gravity!

"Boom"!The ball crashed into the net.

In the end, Crystal Palace defeated West Bromwich Albion 4-0 and advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup.The opponent in the fourth round will be the winner of Coventry or Birmingham.

After halfway through the race, the path to the championship became more and more obvious.
