Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 418 What to do?
Compared with Malta, Hungary is much stronger, and Hungary is also one of Portugal's competitors for qualifying places.

Chen Ran's goal is very simple, just like he did against Denmark in the previous game, he won Hungary and seized the initiative to compete for the place.

The head coach of Hungary is also very pragmatic. This time they came to an away game against Portugal, and they immediately set up the bus at the beginning of the game.

However, Portugal did not have a strong high center forward. Chen Ran had no choice but to let Ronaldo copy his previous tactics in Crystal Palace, constantly entering and exiting the penalty area in Hungary, trying to pull out the gap.

It's a pity that Ronaldo is still the same Ronaldo, but his teammates are no longer the top players of Crystal Palace.

Seeing that it was too late to break through the Hungarian goal, Chen Ran had no choice but to use another "first-level chicken blood card" for Deco.

In the end, with Deco's long-range shot near the end, Portugal beat Hungary with a difficult score of 1:0.

In another game in this group, Denmark beat Sweden 1-0 at home.

After this round of competition is over, with the last round of the group stage remaining, Denmark ranks first in the group with [-] points, followed by Portugal with [-] points.

In this way, whether Portugal can directly get the tickets for the World Cup in South Africa, the initiative is not in its own hands.

In the last game, Portugal not only has to win Malta, but also depends on the result of Denmark's game against Hungary.

According to the European rules of the world preliminaries, unless Hungary beats Denmark, Portugal can only participate in the play-offs as No.2 in the group.

No way, although Chen Ran has achieved a complete victory record after taking over Portugal, but because Queiroz dug too deep a hole before, they can only look at the faces of others now.

On October 10th, the final round of the European Group Stage of the World Preliminaries began at the same time.

Under the request of Chen Ran's full attack, with Ronaldo's hat-trick and Meireles' long-range shot, Portugal beat Malta 4-0 at home.

On the other side, Denmark drew 1:1 with Hungary at home.

As a result, Denmark and Portugal are tied on 21 points and have won a game each in their direct encounters.

However, due to the time when Queiroz was coaching, Portugal lost to Denmark 1:3 at home.

After Chen Ran took over, Portugal beat Denmark 2-0 away.

In the end, Denmark ranked first in Group A with the advantage of the number of away goals, and got a ticket to directly qualify for the World Cup in South Africa.

Portugal, ranked No.2, can only be forced to participate in the play-offs.

Chen Ran didn't have time to think about the play-offs at this time. After the match against Malta, he immediately rushed back to London with Ronaldo and Pepe.

Because two days later, Crystal Palace's new stage of devil's schedule will start again.

On October 10, the ninth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go to an away game against Blackburn;

On October 10, the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Juventus, the strongest opponent in this group;
On October 10th, the tenth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will sit at the Emirates Stadium to face Wigan Athletic this time;

On October 10, in the fourth round of the English League Cup, Crystal Palace will face their old rival Manchester United at home;
On October 10, in the No.31 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Hull City at home;
On November 11th, the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Crystal Palace will sit at the Emirates Stadium to meet the challenge of Juventus;
On November 11th, in the No.7 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Manchester City.

Seven games in 20 days, an average of less than three days.

And there are two games against Juventus, one against Manchester United and one against Manchester City.

Even Chen Ran, who was used to the devil's schedule, felt his scalp tingle when he saw the schedule.

On October 10, in the ninth round of the Premier League, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace to an away game against Blackburn.

Since the Champions League game against Juventus will be away in two days, Chen Ran sent a half-main and half-substitute starting lineup for this game.

Facing the defending champion Crystal Palace, Blackburn put up the bus as expected.

The Crystal Palace, which only played some of the main players, lacked the offensive ability and played very difficult games.

In the end, with Beckham's free kick, Crystal Palace barely beat Blackburn with a score of 1:0.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level One Blood Card" from the system.

In the other games of this round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Aston Villa 2:1 away, and Manchester United beat Bolton 2:1 at Old Trafford.

阿森纳在主场3：1轻取伯明翰，曼城在客场1：1被维冈竞技逼平，而利物浦则在客场0：1爆冷输给了桑德兰。

In the championship group, Liverpool has begun to show signs of falling behind.

After the match against Blackburn, Chen Ran immediately led the Crystal Palace team to Turin, Italy.

After several years of recuperation, Juventus has gradually shaken off the impact of the "Italian phone gate" incident, and its strength is steadily recovering.

The current head coach of Juventus is former Italian international Ferrara, who previously served as Lippi's assistant coach in the Italian national team and just took over the Juventus club this summer.

Facing Crystal Palace, the defending champion of the UEFA Champions League, Ferrara still lined up Juventus's usual starting lineup, and he did not put the bus in a very backbone.

On the Crystal Palace side, for a tough game like an away game against Juventus, Chen Ran sent the entire main lineup as a matter of course.

Although it is an away game, Crystal Palace's tactics are not conservative.At Chen Ran's request, Crystal Palace attacked across the board from the first minute.

Juventus did not show any weakness, and the two teams fought fiercely in the midfield.

In the first three 10 minutes, the energetic Juventus did not lose at all.

But after three and 10 minutes, Juventus' two full-backs, 33-year-old Camoranesi and 32-year-old Salihamidzic, were a bit overwhelmed.

Chen Ran, who was sitting on the bench, noticed this sign very keenly, and he immediately called Southgate to his side.

"Gareth, go and tell Modric and Kaka to score two more wideouts. Juventus' two fullbacks Camoranesi and Salihamidzic are too old. Physical fitness is a little bit behind now."

"Got it, boss."

Soon, Chen Ran's latest instructions reached Modric's ears.

Modric, who has always been obedient to his boss, flicked his ankle, and the ball immediately flew to Ronaldo's feet on the left.

At this time, Juventus' right forward Camoranesi could no longer actively return to defense as he did at the beginning of the game, and right back Caceres had no choice but to face Ronaldo's attack alone.

Ronaldo didn't play any tricks this time. After receiving the pass from Modric, he directly moved the ball forward and competed with Caceres in a simple and rude manner.

Seeing Ronaldo's movement, Caceres quickly turned around and accelerated.

But Ronaldo forcibly overtook from the outside and got the ball first.

Immediately afterwards, Ronaldo played another trick he is best at, knocking the ball with his heel. Cáceres, who was desperately chasing back, had no time to brake and slipped to the ground.

And Ronaldo took advantage of the opportunity to shake off Caceres and successfully switched the ball to the inside.

Finding that there was a gap in the defense on the right, the midfielder Marchionne hurried over to make up the defense.

Ronaldo didn't entangle with Marchionne, he passed the ball directly to Kaka in the middle, and then he didn't stop, but continued to rush into Juventus' penalty area.

As a teammate who has cooperated for several years, Kaka immediately understood Ronaldo's actions when he saw Ronaldo's actions.

He first pulled and dunked the ball, and flashed past Sissoko who rushed to steal the ball.Then with a slight flick of the ankle, he passed the ball to Ronaldo who was advancing at high speed.

At this time, Juventus' central defender Cannavaro also discovered their intention to play two-for-one cooperation, and hurried over to try to destroy the ball before Ronaldo.

But Cannavaro underestimated Ronaldo's speed. When he stretched out his foot to kick the ball out of the sideline, Ronaldo had already stabbed the ball out first.

But Cannavaro's foot was a step slower, and he missed the ball, but kicked it abruptly on Ronaldo's leg.

"what!"

Ronaldo screamed and fell to the ground.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle also sounded, and he pointed to the penalty spot very decisively.

When the Juventus players surrounded the referee desperately to explain, they saw that the referee had awarded a penalty, and Ronaldo, who had just fallen to the ground and screamed, stopped screaming.

Cannavaro kicked his shin guard. Although it hurt a bit, it was not a serious problem.

After struggling for a while, the referee finally upheld the penalty kick.

Ronaldo picked up the ball and walked towards the penalty spot without hesitation. Seeing that it was Ronaldo who took the penalty kick, Juventus's home court suddenly booed everywhere.

Cristiano Ronaldo was unmoved at all. After carefully arranging the ball, he took a few steps back, stood still, glanced at the Juventus goal, took a deep breath, and ran up.

"boom!"

Ronaldo chose to hit the upper right corner for this shot. Although Buffon is the world's top goalkeeper, the penalty kick is too lucky.

Buffon completely misjudged the direction and had no choice but to get up and pick up the ball from the goal.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty kick, Crystal Palace leads Juventus 1-0 in the away game.

One goal behind, Ferrara did not panic, he just called Salihamidzic and Camoranesi to the sidelines while the Crystal Palace players were celebrating.

Soon, when the game re-kicked off, Chen Ran found that Salihamidzic and Camoranesi were obviously retreating.

Obviously, Ferrara did not intend to make substitutions in the first half of the game, so he asked Salihamidzic and Camoranesi to give up offense and use their limited physical energy to defend.

As a result, although Juventus' offense has been greatly affected, correspondingly, until the end of the first half, Crystal Palace failed to score again.

During the halftime break, as Crystal Palace took the lead early, Chen Ran did not make any substitutions and adjustments other than giving the players blood as usual.

On the Juventus side, Ferrara replaced Camoranesi with Melo, moved Marchionne to the right, let Melo serve as a midfielder, and then replaced Salihami with Giovinco. Jiqi went to play left midfielder.

As soon as the second half started, Chen Ran found that Juventus had made up for the loopholes in the first half.

However, because Crystal Palace has now taken the lead, Chen Ran is not in a hurry to score more goals.

Instead, he asked Crystal Palace's players to slow down their attacking tempo and play steadily.

After all, it's only a group stage now, as long as you win, the number of away goals is not that important.

Chen Ran was not in a hurry, but Ferrara couldn't hold back anymore.

After playing 10 minutes in the second half, he found that Crystal Palace seemed to be deliberately slowing down the pace of the game.

This is the home court of Juventus. Ferrara coached a giant team to play in the UEFA Champions League for the first time. He didn't want to lose at his home court.

So, he called the Italian international Iaquinta from the bench.After a simple warm-up, he replaced the French veteran Trezeguet with Iaquinta.

"Boss, Juventus is about to launch a general attack, what should we do now?"

Seeing that Ferrara used up all the substitutions so quickly, Southgate immediately moved to Chen Ran's side.

"Gareth, you should inform Ribery and Mascherano to warm up now, and replace Toni and Modric with them later."

"Let Ronaldo play center forward, Ribery replace him as left midfielder, Mascherano and Yaya Toure serve as double midfielders, the formation remains the same."

"You tell Ronaldo to use the previous tactics, go out of the penalty area to cooperate with his teammates, and pull Juventus' defense."

"As long as the opponent's central defender is taken out of the penalty area by Ronaldo, let Messi and Ribery wait for the opportunity to advance, and then let Kaka be responsible for passing the gap."

"Okay, boss."

Soon, just after Juventus had just replaced Iaquinta, Crystal Palace also made substitution adjustments.

Seeing this scene, Ferrara couldn't help frowning.

Before the game, he carefully studied the videos of Crystal Palace's recent games. Chen Ran replaced Tony this time, obviously to let Ronaldo play the center forward.

This trick was used by the Chinese man against Stuttgart, and Stuttgart lost because of it.

Now, the opponent used this trick to deal with him again.
