Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 415 Master-student killing each other?

Liverpool's season can be said to be quite unsatisfactory. Not only have they been banned from signing, but the main players in the team have also been targeted by other teams.

During the summer transfer period, Real Madrid sent an offer to Harvey Alonso.

As a Spanish international, Harvey Alonso is very excited about Real Madrid's invitation.

In the end, it was the Qataris who offered a sky-high price to renew the contract, and it was barely enough to keep Harvey Alonso.

Not only that, Torres, another Spanish international and main striker in the Liverpool team, has also received offers from many clubs.

It has been two years since Torres moved to Liverpool from Atletico Madrid. In these two years, Torres scored 24 goals for Liverpool in his first season.

In the last season, he even contributed 46 goals for Liverpool Club in 33 games.

Torres' super high scoring rate immediately attracted the attention of many wealthy clubs.

Among them, the Chelsea club even offered him a sky-high price of 6000 million euros.

Ancelotti wants to use Torres to replace Shevchenko, who is 33 years old this year and whose competitive state has declined seriously.

In the end, the Qataris had to adopt the same approach as Harvey Alonso, leaving Torres with a sky-high contract extension.

One player didn't buy it, but posted a large sum of money first. One can imagine the mood of the Qatari owner who just took over the Liverpool club.

If the boss is in a bad mood, the people below will naturally not have a good life.

As the team's head coach, Benitez bore the brunt and became the first victim.

Coupled with Liverpool's unsatisfactory start to the new season, he is under a lot of pressure.

The level of trust the Qataris have in him is far less than that of the two previous American bosses.

After seeing Chelsea get a point from Crystal Palace, Benitez also took a breath, wanting to get points from Crystal Palace like Chelsea did, and prove his ability to the new boss.

On the Crystal Palace side, because the current players in the team are basically international players from various countries.

So every time after the national team match day, what Chen Ran waited for was a group of exhausted players.

In desperation, he can only arrange the starting lineup for this game according to the results of the physical examination report.

Forward Ronaldo, Forward Dzeko
Left midfielder Evra, central midfielder Fabregas, central midfielder Yaya Toure, right midfielder Vardy

After seeing the starting list of Crystal Palace, Benitez couldn't help but secretly happy.

Because Crystal Palace had a lot of substitute players, it made him feel that Liverpool had a chance in this game.

The process of the game was just as Benitez judged. After a large number of substitute players came on the field, Crystal Palace could no longer suppress the opponent as strongly as usual.

The two teams had offense and defense against each other, and neither of them could take advantage of it for a while.

For this kind of situation, Chen Ran had already been mentally prepared. He was sitting on the bench watching the game, and he didn't feel anxious at all.

Until the end of the first half, neither of the two teams could break the opponent's goal, and the score on the field remained at 0:0.

During the intermission, Chen Ran encouraged the players as usual, and then he looked at Dzeko and Vardy.

"Edin, Jamie, how about the two of you going down for a rest in the second half of the game?"

"Okay, boss."

Nodding in satisfaction, Chen Ran turned to look at Messi and Kaka.

"Leo, Ricardo, you two replaced Edin and Jamie in the second half of the game. Leo still played on the right, Ricardo played as a midfielder, and Chris played as a lone forward. The team's formation also changed from 442 It becomes 4231, understand?"

"Understood, boss."

While Chen Ran was busy dispatching troops, Benitez did not make any adjustments.

He was very satisfied with the performance of the Liverpool players in the first half and asked the players to continue to play as they did in the first half.

However, before the start of the second half of the game, Benitez's heart suddenly tightened when he saw the substitution adjustment on the Crystal Palace side.

He is very clear that the appearance of Messi and Kaka means that the Crystal Palace will launch a general attack.

At this point, the second half of the game is about to begin.

It is really not a suitable time to make a hasty substitution at this time.

After hesitating for a while, Benitez finally chose to stand still for the time being and continue to trust the players on the field.

Facts have proved that the same tactic is executed by different players, and the effect is indeed very different.

As soon as Messi and Kaka played, the offensive intensity of Crystal Palace immediately increased to a higher level.

When the game progressed to 58 minutes, Messi first easily passed the opponent's left-back Aurelio on the right, and then directly dribbled the ball into Liverpool's penalty area.

Realizing that the situation was not good, central defender Skrtel quickly moved over to defend.

Seeing Skrtel's actions, Messi didn't bother him much.

He pushed the ball horizontally to Kaka in the middle, but he didn't stop, but continued to rush towards Liverpool's goal.

Seeing Messi's running position, Kaka, who received the ball, understood it.

He didn't stop the ball at all, and before Harvey Alonso stretched out his foot to steal it, he made a pick pass and rubbed the ball to Messi who was advancing at high speed.

Kaka's passing weight was just right, and the ball just landed on Messi's forward line.

At this time, Skrtel has been wiped out by Messi and Kaka's two-for-one cooperation.

Messi didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground, adjusted his pace slightly, and rushed over with a volley.

"boom!"

The ball stabbed directly at Liverpool's goal like a sharp sword.

Due to the short distance and the fast speed of the ball, before the goalkeeper Reina had time to react, the ball had jumped past him and into the Liverpool net.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With the exquisite cooperation of the two newly replaced players, Crystal Palace led Liverpool 1-0 in the away game.

On the sidelines, Benitez, who saw Messi's goal, slapped his head regretfully. If he had known that he had just changed immediately.

However, it is too late to say anything now.

Only scoring points on Crystal Palace can relieve the pressure on Benitez.

Benitez, who knew his goal very well, decided to ignore the conceded goal and let the Liverpool players continue to attack.

On the Crystal Palace side, after taking the lead, they entered their accustomed rhythm.

Still the same sentence, when playing against each other, Crystal Palace has never been afraid of anyone.

Chen Ran didn't accept it this time, and he called Southgate to his side again.

"Gareth, you are going to tell Tony to warm up now, and then replace Evra with him. Let Tony play the center forward, and Ronaldo goes back to play the left midfielder, understand?"

"Understood, boss."

As soon as Tony played, the Crystal Palace basically returned to the main offensive lineup except for Modric, and the offensive power was further strengthened.

When the game progressed to No. 608 minutes, Ronaldo on the left forcibly broke through the defense of Liverpool right back Arbeloa and made a pass.

In the penalty area, Tony, who had just played, leaped high and competed for the ball under the double-teaming of Carragher and Skrtel.

Not only that, but Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina also abandoned the goal and hit the ball hard over the heads of all the players to hit the ball out of the penalty area.

Outside the penalty area, the two Liverpool midfielders Xavi Alonso and Gerrard, who were in charge of protecting the front of their own penalty area, suddenly noticed that the ball was flying towards Kaka's position, and the two men who realized that something was wrong went towards the ball at the same time. The landing point rushed over.

Of course Kaka would not let go of such a good opportunity. He also saw the actions of Harvey Alonso and Gerrard, and knew that he had no time to adjust.

So, without waiting for the ball to hit the ground, Kaka kicked the ball directly with the instep of his right foot.

"boom!"

The ball drew an obvious parabola and flew towards Liverpool's goal, and fell rapidly when it was approaching the goal.

Reina, who had just attacked, was rushing back desperately, and when he saw the ball was kicked back by Kaka, he quickly flew to save it.

However, although Reina tried his best, he still failed to save Kaka's deciduous shot.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Kaka's world wave goal, Crystal Palace led Liverpool 2-0 in the away game.

As soon as the second goal was scored, Benitez was completely anxious.

He doesn't care about the defensive problem now, and immediately turns around and dispatches troops from Liverpool's bench to continue to strengthen the attack.

As a result, Crystal Palace took advantage of Liverpool's heavy pressure and when the defense was empty, Tony scored a header and extended the lead to three goals.

As for Liverpool, it was only at the end of the game that Torres scored a world wave long shot from outside the penalty area, which can be regarded as saving a little face for the team.

In the end, with goals from Messi, Kaka and Tony, Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool 3-1 away.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Hawkeye Guardian Card" from the system.

In a VIP box at Anfield, after the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Liverpool club chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi turned to sporting director Antero Enrique sitting next to him .

"Antero, you can start looking for a manager who is worthy of Liverpool. If Benitez still can't lead the team to the championship this season, then you have to be ready to replace him at any time. "

Antero Enrique's heart tightened when he heard that, Benitez is an old man of the Liverpool club, and has won the UEFA Champions League for the team. The boss can change it now, it seems that he will also Always be vigilant.

"Mr. Chairman, do you have any goals for the new coach?"

"I think Mr. Chen Ran is very suitable." Nasser Al-Khelaifi pointed to Chen Ran who was high-fiving the Crystal Palace players on the sidelines of the court.

"Mr. Chairman, after all, Mr. Chen Ran is the owner of Crystal Palace Club. Even if he is willing to coach Liverpool, the FA will not agree."

Antero Enrique smiled wryly, rich people are capricious.

"Haha, it's just a joke. But, Antero, the new coach of our Liverpool club is based on this Mr. Chen Ran. Do you understand?"

Nasser Al-Khelaifi smiled slightly, but what he said made Antero Enrique break out in a cold sweat.

Wang Defa, Chen Ran is currently recognized as a top coach in the world, if he is used as the standard, then who are you looking for?
"Mr. Chairman, with all due respect, if we use Mr. Chen Ran as the standard, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a head coach."

Hearing Antero Enrique's words, Nasser Al-Khelaifi was not angry.In fact, in his opinion, Chen Ran is currently the most capable head coach in world football, not one of them.

"Then lower the standard a little bit. I think Guardiola, the head coach of Barcelona, ​​is good. He has served as Chen Ran's assistant coach for a long time, and he also achieved very good results in coaching Barcelona last season. Learned a lot from him.”

"Guardiola? Mr. Chairman, you have a good eye. Guardiola can be said to be another talented coach after Chen Ran. Even the famous coach Mourinho has become his defeat."

Hearing Nasser Al-Khelaifi mention Guardiola's name, Antero Enrique had to admit that his new boss had a good vision.

"Mourinho? Hehe, it's justified that he couldn't beat Chen Ran before, but now he can't even beat Chen Ran's assistant coach. What qualifications do he have to be a famous coach?"

Nasser Al-Khelaifi pouted subtly, then stared seriously at Antero Enrique's eyes.

"Antero, your most important task now is to try your best to invite Guardiola to our Liverpool club to coach. It must be very interesting if Guardiola can lead Liverpool to defeat the Crystal Palace led by his former boss."

"Understood. Mr. President, do you have any instructions regarding the terms of the offer to Guardiola?"

"at all costs!"

In the other games of this round of the Premier League, there is another eye-catching strong dialogue.

Newly-promoted local tycoon Manchester City actually defeated the old strong team Arsenal 4:2 at home.After Manchester United, it gave Arsenal their second defeat in the new season.

Chelsea beat Stoke City 2:1 away and Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur 3:1 away.

After all the games in the fifth round, Crystal Palace is still at the top of the standings, but Chelsea has the same points, ranking second only because of the disadvantage of goal difference, and they are eyeing.

After playing the Premier League game against Liverpool, Chen Ran took the Crystal Palace team to Seville, Spain to challenge the first opponent in the UEFA Champions League group stage in an away game.
