Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 414 The dead friend is not dead

Except for a small number of Danish players who play for Copenhagen, a wealthy club in Denmark, most of them play in the five major European leagues.

If you only talk about personal ability, there are no outstanding players in the Danish team.But after the combination of these players who have played in the five major leagues, their strength should not be underestimated.Otherwise, it is impossible for them to rank first in this group.

Head coach Olsen has been coaching the Danish national team since 2000. Compared with Chen Ran, who just took over Portugal, he knows his players well.

This time at home against Portugal led by Chen Ran, Olsen also played [-] points and dispatched all the main players who could play.

Forward Thomason, Forward Bendtner

Left Midfielder Glenshire, Central Midfielder Paulson, Central Midfielder Jensen, Right Midfielder Romedal
Left back Miti Riga, center back Agger, center back Claudrup, right back Jacobsen
Goalkeeper Sorenson

On the Portuguese side, Chen Ran is also the main force.

The Danish team is currently the top of Group A. Taking points from them is the most effective way to narrow the points gap.

Left winger Nani, center Ronaldo, right winger Quaresma

Central midfielder Meireles, Central midfielder Deco, Central midfielder Thiago
Left back Duda, center back Carvalho, center back Pepe, right back Paulo Ferreira

goalkeeper eduardo
Portugal is not Crystal Palace. Although they are considered a strong team, they are definitely the ones that rank behind among the strong teams.

Therefore, when facing Portugal, the Danish team did not have the slightest fear, and still played their usual tactics step by step.

This made Chen Ran, who was used to seeing his opponents huddled behind the bus, feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

In fact, apart from the fact that Ronaldo is obviously stronger than the Danish players, the other players of the Portuguese team are not as strong as the Danish players.

This caused Portugal to play very hard. Until the end of the first half, they still failed to break through the Danish team's goal.

During the intermission, apart from encouraging the Portuguese players, Chen Ran did not make substitutions and adjustments.

However, at the end of the intermission, he deliberately walked up to Nani and patted him on the shoulder in front of all the players.

"Louis, after the start of the second half, I will give you the 'right to fire freely', you can play as you want, understand?"

"Boss, are you serious?"

Nani was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't believe his ears.

After all, he is not a player of Crystal Palace, so he doesn't know the magic of Chen Ran.

"You heard that right, it's the 'right to fire freely'. You can break through if you want to, and shoot if you want to shoot."

"Okay, I understand. Boss, don't worry, I will not let you down."

After reconfirming, Nani suddenly became excited.

Whether at Manchester United or in the Portuguese national team, this is a treatment he never dared to expect.

The boss deserves to be recognized as a top coach in the world, and his vision is good.

At this moment, Nani seemed to have a thought in his heart that "a man should die for his confidant".

After explaining to Nani, Chen Ran turned to Deco, Thiago and Meirelles, the three midfielders.

"In the second half of the game, you have to pass the ball more to Nani and help him create opportunities, understand?"

"Understood, boss!"

"Got it, boss!"

Although he didn't know why Chen Ran valued Nani so much all of a sudden, since the head coach had spoken, the Portuguese players agreed honestly.

Beside, Ronaldo and Pepe exchanged glances quietly, but neither of them spoke.

As the elders of the Crystal Palace Club, the two of them are all too familiar with this situation.

Is Nani going out of shape?

Ronaldo secretly calculated in his heart that once the peak state appears, there will be a trough period of three games afterwards.

Nani's next game is the World Cup qualifier, and the boss himself will definitely not let Nani enter the starting list.

Then Nani's low period will continue to the club's game, Manchester United.
"hiss"

Thinking hard.

Ronaldo took a breath, the boss just dug a hole for Manchester United.

At this time, Chen Ran glanced at Ronaldo and Pepe as if nothing had happened.The two guys suddenly felt tense, and quickly walked out of the locker room with their heads down.

In fact, Chen Ran really didn't want to dig a hole for Ferguson.

It's just that the situation in Portugal is not good now, and we must do our best to win.

There are some things that he can't care about so much.

Use the "Level One Chicken Blood Card" for Ronaldo, he will definitely not do it.

After all, a dead fellow is not a poor daoist.

After calling out the system, Chen Ran quietly used a "Level [-] chicken blood card" for Nani.

This is the first time he has used system cards for non-Crystal Palace players, and I don't know if the effect will be compromised.

At the beginning of the second half, Olsen found that Portugal's offensive center of gravity had shifted to Nani on the left.

And Nani did show a completely different state from the first half of the game. Whether it was breaking through, passing or shooting, he seemed to have become extra confident.

Although Olsen didn't know why Nani had such a big change, he immediately asked the Danish players to shift their defensive focus to Nani.

When the game progressed to No. 603 minutes, Nani first crossed the crotch and passed the Danish team's right forward Romedal.

Immediately afterwards, he played another trick to pass the ball, and used his speed to get rid of the Danish right back Jacobsen.

Then Nani dribbled the ball diagonally into the Danish team's penalty area and rushed towards the goal.

Realizing that the situation was not good, the central defender of the Danish team, Claudrup, hurried over to defend.

Seeing someone coming to intercept, Nani stepped on a few bicycles, passed Claudrup, and kicked the goal directly.

"boom!"

The ball stuck to the turf and flew towards the lower right corner of the Danish goal. The 195cm tall goalkeeper Sorensen was a little slower when he landed, and the ball got into the net from his hand.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Nani's personal performance, Portugal led Denmark 1-0 away.

Not only the Danish players were dumbfounded by this goal, but even the other Portuguese players looked incredible.

Is this still the Nani they know?
Ronaldo, who knew what was going on in his heart, curled his lips imperceptibly, and then ran over to join the celebration.

On the sidelines, Olsen, who saw Nani's goal, was also annoyed.He still underestimated Nani. He didn't expect him to score such a beautiful goal. If he had known, he would have sent more people to mark Nani.

Subsequently, Olsen immediately ordered his central midfielder Jensen and right forward Romedal to help right back Jacobsen help defend Nani.

As a result, Nani is certainly subject to great restrictions.But elsewhere, Denmark's defense inevitably had holes.

It has long been expected that the opponent will strengthen the targeted defense against Nani after seeing Nani's goal.

While Olsen was adjusting his deployment, Chen Ran also called Boas to his side.

"Andre, tell Deco that if the Danish team strengthens their defense against Nani next, it will inevitably leave gaps in other places. Let him be flexible and pass the ball more to the places where there are gaps. Understand? "

"Understood, boss."

Soon, Deco, who received Chen Ran's latest instructions, discovered that the Danish team had indeed made targeted arrangements as the boss had judged.

Deco sighed in his heart that the boss deserves to be the world's top coach, and with a flick of his ankle, he gave the ball to Quaresma on the right.

The adjustment of the Danish team's defensive focus has left Quaresma with only one left back, Miti Riga.

Quaresma didn't play any tricks, he slammed the ball forward, and directly competed with Mitiriga for speed.

Accelerating in a straight line, turning around and chasing back, Quaresma quickly moved away from Mitiriga.With a flick of the ankle, the ball was sent into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Cristiano Ronaldo jumped high, and under the double-teaming of the two Danish central defenders Agger and Claudrup, he grabbed the ball abruptly.A lion shook his head and smashed the ball hard into the Danish team's goal.

Sorensen, who is 195cm tall, has a slow landing speed, but he is good at this kind of half-high ball.

After judging the direction of Ronaldo's header, Sorensen immediately flew over and blocked the ball with his hand.

Just when the Danish team's defensive players breathed a sigh of relief, a small figure suddenly jumped out.

"boom!"

It's Nani.

The kid started sprinting into the Danish team's penalty area when Quaresma kicked the pass.

As soon as Sorensen saved the ball, he arrived in time, kicked the ball hard, and kicked the ball towards the goal of the Danish team.

At this time, Sorensen, who had just finished making a save, was still lying on the ground and had no time to get up. He could only watch the ball fly into the net from in front of his eyes.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Nani's supplementary shot, Portugal leads Denmark 2-0.

Two goals behind, this time Olsen was a little impatient, and he immediately dispatched troops from the bench to get the score back.

On the Portuguese side, Chen Ran decided to let it go. Three days later, Portugal had a World Cup qualifier to play.

So, he called Boas to his side again.

"Andre, you go and notify Simão and Bruno Alves to warm up now, and replace Ronaldo and Quaresma with them later."

"Bruno Alves, Carvalho, and Pepe formed a three-centre back, while Simão and Nani stayed in front to counterattack. The team's formation also changed from 433 to 532, shrinking the defense across the board."

"Understood, boss."

As soon as Chen Ran adjusted, Olson immediately saw his intention.

But you can see it, but the Danish team does not have the strength to attack tough problems like Crystal Palace.

What's more, Chen Ran still left Nani and Simao, two small forwards with fast speed, good technique and strong breakthrough ability, in the frontcourt to fight back, and Olsen had to leave enough manpower to guard these two strikers. guy.

In this way, until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Danish team failed to break through the Portuguese goal guarded by Eduardo.

In the end, with Nani's brace, Portugal defeated the group leader Denmark 2-0 in the away game, successfully narrowing the point gap with the opponent.

Three days later, on September 9, Chen Ran took the Portuguese team to Budapest to challenge Hungary.

With Ronaldo and Coentrao's goals, Portugal also defeated Hungary 2-0 away.

After Chen Ran took over Portugal, a wave of three consecutive victories immediately reversed Portugal's previous unfavorable situation.

After the Danish team lost to Portugal, this round was tied 1:1 by Albania in the away game.

Although they are still at the top of Group A, their lead has changed from seven points before Chen Ran took over to two points now.

With two rounds left, it is not impossible for Portugal to stage a super reversal.

After leading Portugal to two World Cup qualifiers, Chen Ran rushed back to Crystal Palace with Ronaldo and Pepe without stopping.

No way, as soon as the national team match day is over, Crystal Palace will usher in another devil's schedule.

On September 9, in the fifth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go to Anfield to challenge Liverpool;
On September 9, the UEFA Champions League group stage of the new season will also kick off.

This time, Crystal Palace is in a group with Serie A team Juventus, La Liga team Sevilla and Bundesliga team Stuttgart. Crystal Palace will first go to an away game to challenge Sevilla.

On September 9, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium;

On September 9, in the third round of the English League Cup, Crystal Palace will go to an away game against Barnsley;

On September 9, in the seventh round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Tottenham Hotspur this time;
On September 9, in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Crystal Palace will face Stuttgart at home;
On October 10, in the eighth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will take on Birmingham at the Emirates Stadium.

Seven games in 21 days, an average of one game in three days.

Although Chen Ran is used to the devilish schedule that Crystal Palace has to go through every year, when he thinks that after the devilish schedule is over, the national team match day will follow.

He still has to go to lead the Portuguese national team to participate in the last two rounds of the World Cup qualifiers, especially since this is the key game that determines whether Portugal can qualify for the World Cup in South Africa, Chen Ran feels dizzy.

It's really not human to live such a continuous life.

However, there is no time for Chen Zhe to regret now.

After returning to the Crystal Palace club, he immediately devoted himself to the preparations for Liverpool.

Liverpool's start to the season was not very good, with two wins and two losses in the first four rounds and only six points in the middle of the standings.

For the league runner-up who lost only two games last season, this result is obviously not satisfactory.

Coupled with the fact that Liverpool were banned from signing during the most critical summer transfer period, now facing the instigator Crystal Palace, Benitez has only one thought in his mind:
Get rid of the Crystal Palace and take revenge!
