Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 188 Boss, did Diego eat something he shouldn't?

Capello is no stranger to Simeone, who has played in Serie A for a long time.

But he hasn't seen such a fierce Simeone for many years.

According to the normal law, after the age of 30, as the age grows, a player's ability and state will continue to decline.

But I haven't seen him for a few years, why is Simeone's condition getting better and better?
Could it be that the Hua countryman has some tricks to make the veteran regain his second youth?

Thinking of this, Capello couldn't help but glanced at the Crystal Palace bench.

At this time, Chen Ran who was standing on the sidelines was also shocked by Simeone's performance.

This chicken blood card is really worthy of the name, Simeone's performance is really like a chicken blood, it's crazy.

No wonder the system instructions suggested that after using the chicken blood card, the next three games would be played like shit.

Chen Ran now doubts whether Simeone can slow down the three games after this game.

Also shocked were Simeone's Crystal Palace teammates.

As they get along day and night, training and playing together, they are very clear about Simeone's current state.

The technical awareness is there, but the physical function is gradually declining. This is something that every player cannot avoid.

But what happened today?

Their assistant coach and vice-captain Simeone, is he playing this game as the last game in his life?

Without Modric on the field, Vieira was responsible for organizing the offense.

According to Chen Ran's instructions, he kept distributing the ball to Ronaldo on the left. After Ronaldo received the ball, he stared directly at Juventus' right back Zebina and rushed over.

Zebina, who is tall and tall, is actually more suitable to play as a central defender.

But his defensive ability is far less stable than Cannavaro and Thuram, so he can only be forced to play the right back position.

Where is Zebina's opponent in terms of speed or flexibility?

As soon as Ronaldo made a few fake moves, Zebina was swayed past.When he turned around and chased again, he could no longer catch up.

After getting rid of Zebina, Ronaldo wanted to dribble directly into the Juventus penalty area.

But at this time, Juventus midfielder Emerson has rushed over to make up for it, blocking Ronaldo's line from going straight into the Juventus penalty area.

Ronaldo didn't choose to do it hard this time. He swiped the ball and no longer wanted to enter Juventus' penalty area, but rushed to the baseline with the ball.

Then he flicked his ankle and sent the ball into Juventus' penalty area before Zebina, who was flying to tackle the block.

At this time, in the Juventus penalty area, the two central defenders Cannavaro and Thuram are responsible for marking a Crystal Palace center forward.

Thuram is a little better, with a height of 185cm, while Cannavaro is pitiful, with a height of only 175cm.

Facing the two center forwards of Crystal Palace, Tony with 193cm and Jan Kohler with 202cm, the two of them really used all their strength, pushing, pulling, squeezing and bumping all kinds of tricks.

Moreover, Cannavaro and Thuram are very experienced, and all kinds of small movements are very concealed.Using the bodies of himself and the opponent to cover, the referee didn't blow his whistle.

Under the interference of these two people, Tony and Jan Kohler couldn't take off with all their strength, let alone grab a shot.

Seeing that the ball was about to fly past the goal, at this moment, a figure rushed in from outside the penalty area at high speed.Leaping high, with a heavy head hammer, he pushed the ball towards the goal guarded by Buffon.

It's Simeone!

After Vieira gave the ball to Ronaldo, he began to advance from his own half.

Another Juventus central midfielder, Gianni Keida, was also very alert and immediately followed Simeone back to the defense.

But even so, Gianni Keida, who is five years younger than Simeone, was still a step behind.

When he arrived, Simeone had already headed the ball out.

"boom!"

The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the Juventus goal.

Buffon's reaction was also extremely fast, he stepped hard and rose into the air.

A beautiful side throw blocked the ball out of the baseline.

"Wow!"

There was an exclamation of regret in the entire Highbury Stadium.

"Damn it, it's almost there!"

Chen Ran, who had been watching the progress of the game from the sidelines, was about to celebrate a goal just now, but now he had to hold back abruptly.

"Boss, is Diego inspired by this game?"

At this time, Guardiola also approached Chen Ran and asked curiously.

"Ahem, what do you mean by being stimulated? Isn't Diego in a particularly good state for this game?"

Chen Ran gave Guardiola an angry look.

"boss"

Guardiola paused for a moment, looked around quietly, covered his mouth with his hands, leaned into Chen Ran's ear and continued:

"Boss, do you think Diego ate something he shouldn't have?"

"Get out, how could Diego do such a thing? Don't think about such a mess."

Chen Ran's head was full of black lines. He also knew that Simeone's performance today was a bit exaggerated, but he didn't expect Guardiola to think of that aspect.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran's heart suddenly tightened.

Guardiola will think so, will other people have similar thoughts?
However, Simeone just used the chicken blood card, so there should be no problem.

At this time, the game on the court is still going on fiercely.

Juventus is not a vegetarian either, and it also poses a great threat to Crystal Palace's goals.

Gianni Keida and Emerson in the midfield passed consecutively to the front of the Crystal Palace penalty area, and then stuffed the ball to Camoranesi on the right.

Camoranesi did not choose to pass from the bottom, but dribbled the ball horizontally in the middle. Chiellini immediately stepped forward to block his breakthrough route to the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Camoranesi saw that there was no chance of entering the Crystal Palace penalty area and crossed the ball to Emerson who was waiting in the middle.

Emerson stopped with his left foot, followed by a pick pass with his right foot. The ball flew over the heads of Vidic and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and flew into the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace.

Ibrahimovic and Vidic turned to chase the ball at the same time, and Emerson's pass was very strong and angled, and it fell right in front of Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic immediately took a big step to catch up, and before the ball landed, he volleyed from a small angle.

Fortunately, at this time Cech has realized that the situation is not good, and blocked it in this direction in time.The ball just hit Cech's chest and bounced off the baseline.

"call!"

Chen Ran on the sidelines was also very nervous watching.It wasn't until the ball was blocked from the bottom line by Cech that he let out a sigh of relief.

Within a few minutes, Juventus organized an offensive again.

However, this time Gianni Keida's forward pass was predicted by Vieira in advance, and he directly cut off Gianni Keida's pass.

I saw Vieira looked up and glanced ahead, and then he kicked straight, and the ball was accurately delivered to Tony's feet.

At this time, Tony was holding the ball with his back, and Cannavaro behind him almost held Tony in his arms.

Tony did not stop the ball, nor did he forcefully turn around, but directly returned the ball to Simeone who was advancing.

Then, Tony hugged Cannavaro backhandedly, blocked Cannavaro behind him, and shouted at Simeone:
"Diego, get past me!"

Simeone, who was dribbling the ball, understood it and rushed directly to Tony.

Cannavaro saw Simeone coming towards him, so he wanted to give up Tony to intercept Simeone.

But at this time, Tony, who had been struggling to get rid of Cannavaro before, was now reluctant to part with him.

The two were entangled together, and by the time Cannavaro finally got out, Simeone had already run past him.

This time, there was a big hole in Juventus' defense.

If there is no supplementary defense, Simeone can even drive the ball directly into the penalty area and kick the goal.

At this time, another central defender Thuram was still marking Jan Kohler and couldn't get away.

If Thuram dropped Jan Kohler to defend and Simeone took the opportunity to pass the ball to Jan Kohler who was unguarded in the penalty area, the situation would only get worse.

So, Buffon, who saw everything clearly from behind, immediately called out the name of right back Zebina.

"Jonathan, come back to defend!"

Hearing Buffon's call, Zebina also knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately dropped Ronaldo, who he was in charge of marking, and hurried back to block Simeone's advancing route.

Today's Simeone is like a god.

Seeing that Zebina left Ronaldo behind, he immediately called out Ronaldo's name and pushed the ball lightly with the instep of his inner foot, and the ball passed between the legs of Zebina who was rushing over.

Hearing Simeone calling his name, and seeing Zebina leave him alone, C Roma immediately understood what Simeone meant.

He started immediately, starting from the left wing and making a diagonal penetration into Juventus' penalty area.

At this time, Simeone's pass happened to be sent from between Zebina's legs.

Ronaldo took advantage of the trend and rushed directly towards Juventus' goal.

Seeing the crisis, Buffon quickly abandoned the door and attacked.

Buffon's attack was very timely. Ronaldo took two steps after receiving the ball, and found Buffon appeared in front of him.

This left Ronaldo without any time to adjust, either to shoot directly, or to be destroyed by Buffon.

And because Ronaldo entered the penalty area obliquely from the wing, his shooting angle is now very small.

There is no way, Ronaldo had to choose a small angle shot.

Fortunately, Ronaldo has a good grasp of his technical movements. With a light rub of his left foot, the ball drew a beautiful arc, crossed Buffon's head, and flew towards the Juventus goal.

At this time, because of Buffon's attack, Juventus' goal has become an empty goal.

Seeing that the ball was about to cross the goal line, just as Ronaldo was about to celebrate, a figure rushed over.

The whole body soared into the air, and an incredible volley barb actually hooked the ball out of the goal.

It's Cannavaro.

After the guy was picked and rolled by Tony, he was desperately returning to the defense, and finally rushed back at the last moment.

After the ball was hooked by Cannavaro, it was immediately kicked out of the baseline by Thuram.

But at this time, Crystal Palace players such as Ronaldo and Tony quit.

They complained to the referee on duty one after another, asking him to award the goal as valid.

Whether the ball crosses the goal line or not is a matter of a split second. How can the referee's position be seen clearly?

In this era without video referees, he can only go to the assistant referee for help.

"Did the ball go over the goal line?"

Chen Ran on the sidelines was also a little nervous at this time, and turned around to ask about Guardiola beside him.

"Eh, I didn't see clearly either."

Guardiola looked at Chen Ran in embarrassment, and said to himself that I am as far away from the goal as you are, how can I know whether the ball has passed the goal line or not.

At this time, Chen Ran missed that "Hawkeye Guardian Card" very much.

Now is the perfect time to make a difference, if not used up.

Now, it's up to fate.

What the referee says is what it is. Even if it turns out to be a misjudgment afterwards, it will not help the matter.

Therefore, the game was suspended for a full 5 minutes. After repeated confirmation by the referee and the linesman, it was finally determined that the ball did not pass the goal kick as a whole, and the goal was invalid.

"shush"

In the Highbury Stadium, there was a loud booing immediately, which lasted for a long time.

Although Chen Ran was also disappointed, he knew that now was not the time to care about these things.

"Cheer up! There is still time and opportunities. This goal does not count, let's just score one more."

In order to prevent the emotions of the team members from being affected, Chen Ran hurriedly cheered them up.

Although the goal was gone, the referee still gave a corner kick.

Now Crystal Palace's corner kicks and free kicks have also become an important means for them to score goals.

Because when Chen Ran introduced players, he attached great importance to the height of the players.

For a player, whether it is speed, technique or physical fitness, it is possible to be affected by poor physical condition.

And only height is the most reliable guarantee, because it will not be affected by any factors.

Especially when the game is deadlocked and the team needs to attack and score, high-altitude bombing is often the last and most effective move.

For example, now, in Juventus' penalty area, all the big men of Crystal Palace gathered on the field.

Jan Kohler 202CM, Tony 193CM, Vieira 191CM, Vidic 191CM, Ronaldo 187CM and Chiellini 186CM, six people formed the high-altitude bomber group of Crystal Palace.

This lineup immediately made Juventus feel like a formidable enemy. The two tallest big men in the team, Ibrahimovic and Trezeguet, were also called back by Capello to help defend.

According to Chen Ran's tactical arrangement, except for Jan Kohler standing in the small penalty area to attract the opponent's defensive attention.The other five people are distributed between the rear point and the penalty area line in turn.

Just waiting for Ribery to send the ball, the three of them rushed forward together, and when they were ready, they inserted the shot and took away the player that Juventus was marking.

The remaining two guys are going to wait to shoot later.

And outside the Juventus penalty area arc, Simeone is also ready.

If the ball is destroyed by a Juventus player, he can just volley it.

At this moment, all the eyes of the audience were focused on Ribery who took the corner kick.
