Chapter 419 The Crying Child Has Milk
If Lerottlie follows Ronaldo out of the penalty area, then there will be only Cannavaro in Juventus' penalty area as a central defender.

Although Cannavaro has rich experience, he is 36 years old after all this year, and his physical function has declined severely.

Wanting to rely on him to intercept the fast and flexible Messi and Ribery, Ferrara himself was not sure.

After hesitating for a long time, Ferrara finally decided to let Lello Tarlie stay in the penalty area, and then handed over the task of assisting Ronaldo to two defensive midfielders, Sissoko and Melo.

It's just that, in this way, the positions of Sissoko and Melo will be closer to their own penalty area, and there is no way to provide more help for the offense.

The new center Iaquinta did not get enough support from the midfield, and could only learn from Ronaldo to run out of the Crystal Palace penalty area to catch the ball.

However, he does not have the comprehensive personal ability of Ronaldo. As soon as the ball reached his feet, he was quickly intercepted by the Crystal Palace defenders and counterattacked.

After a few times, even Juventus teammates didn't dare to pass the ball to him easily.

Due to a lot of energy being restrained by defensive tasks, Juventus was still unable to attack with all their strength, and the game entered the rhythm that Chen Ran wanted to see.

Chen Ran's current goal is very simple, try not to consume too much physical energy while winning.

In the end, with a penalty kick created by Ronaldo, Crystal Palace beat Juventus 1-0 in the away game.

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

After the UEFA Champions League match against Juventus, Chen Ran immediately flew back to London with the Crystal Palace team.

Two days later, on October 10, the tenth round of the Premier League will start.This time, Crystal Palace will take on Wigan Athletic at the Emirates Stadium.

Having just finished a tough battle in Italy, two days is not enough for the main players to recover their physical fitness.

In order to avoid injuries to the main players, Chen Ran decided to send a substitute lineup to play against Wigan Athletic.

As Chen Ran expected, Wigan Athletic also started to set up the bus from the first minute of the game.

Crystal Palace's substitute players have insufficient attacking ability, and they have been unable to break the tortoise shell of Wigan Athletic for a long time.

Seeing that the situation was not very good, Chen Ran used a "first-level chicken blood card" and a "first-level sight card" for Dzeko and Cavani respectively.

In the end, with Dzeko and Cavani showing their prowess and scoring two goals each, Crystal Palace beat Wigan Athletic 4:1 at home.

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

In other games of this round of the Premier League, there is also a strong dialogue that attracts attention. Liverpool, which has been a little behind before, will face rival Manchester United at Anfield.

With Torres scoring two goals alone, Liverpool beat Manchester United 2-0 at home, which can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing Benitez's shaky coaching position.

When Liverpool held Manchester United, Chelsea beat Blackburn 5-0 at Stamford Bridge, Manchester City also beat Fulham 2-1 at home, but Arsenal were tied 2-2 by West Ham United in the away game. Began to drop the chain habitually.

Three days later, on October 10, Crystal Palace ushered in the fourth round of the English League Cup.This time, they will face their old rival Manchester United at home.

For the League Cup, Chen Ran has always focused on training.

So he still sent a starting lineup based on substitute players as usual, and handed over the command of the game to Simeone.

On the Manchester United side, after several seasons of observation, Sir Alex Ferguson also knew that Chen Ran had never paid much attention to domestic competitions such as the League Cup and the FA Cup, and there was a high probability that he would send a substitute lineup to play.

And this is also one of the few opportunities for Manchester United to beat Crystal Palace.

In Ferguson's position, sometimes face is more important than anything else. He doesn't want to be told that his team will lose when they meet Crystal Palace.

In order to prepare for this League Cup game, Ferguson even carried out some rotations in the league, which is an important reason why Manchester United lost 0:2 to Liverpool.

Facing Manchester United with all the main players, Simeone set up the bus without hesitation.

After sticking to the game for most of the game, the Crystal Palace was finally broken by Berbatov's fairy ball to break through the goal guarded by Edwin van der Sar. They "regretfully" lost the game 0:1 and were eliminated from this season. English League Cup.

Two days later, on October 10, Crystal Palace ushered in the No. 31 round of the Premier League.This time, they will face Hull City at home.

Since the UEFA Champions League match against Juventus will follow, Chen Ran still sent a half-main and half-substitute starting lineup for this game.

In the end, with the goals of Cesc Fabregas and Suarez, Crystal Palace defeated Hull City 2-0 at home.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level [-] Sight Card" from the system.

In the other matches of this round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Bolton 4-0 away, and Manchester United beat Blackburn Rovers 2-0 at Old Trafford.

Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 in the North London derby, and Manchester City also beat Birmingham 1-0 away.

Among these strong teams, Liverpool missed again.

The victory over Manchester United in the last round of the league did not completely reverse their downward trend this season. In this round, they lost to Fulham 1:3 in an away game.

After the No.11 rounds were all over, due to Chelsea's recent consecutive big wins, they relied on the advantage of a large goal difference to overwhelm the Crystal Palace and climb to the top of the standings.

London, Chelsea FC.

In the office of CEO Peter Kenyon, Ancelotti smiled and took the champagne handed over by Peter Kenyon.

"Ding!"

The two glasses touched and drank it down.

"Carlo, you did a great job this time. It's been a long time since no team can beat Crystal Palace in the middle of the season and top the Premier League standings."

"It's really not easy. Look, I have a lot of white hair."

Ancelotti pointed to his white hair with a wry smile. He is only 50 years old this year.

"Now I have a deep understanding of Mourinho's feelings at the beginning. If I had known that the Chinese man was so good, I would not have taken over the Chelsea club no matter how high the price you asked."

Seeing Ancelotti's persistent complaints, Peter Kenyon had no choice but to listen obediently.

As the CEO dug from Manchester United after Abramovich bought Chelsea, Peter Kenyon can be said to have witnessed the rise of Chen Ran and Crystal Palace.

Like Abramovich, Chen Ran acquired the club in the summer of 2003.

It's just that neither Abramovich nor Peter Kenyon paid much attention to Crystal Palace, the unknown British Championship team.

But who would have thought that the unknown English Championship team at the beginning has now become an insurmountable mountain in front of Chelsea.

As the person involved, Peter Kenyon personally experienced the battle of wits between the two head coaches Mourinho and Ancelotti and Chen Ran.

Whether it is Mourinho or Ancelotti, they can be regarded as top coaches in the world, but they have been defeated by Chen Ran time and time again.

Even Mourinho was forced to leave Spain, just to avoid the limelight of the Chinese.

Therefore, Peter Kenyon understands Ancelotti's venting of emotions very well, because he knows very well how difficult it is to defeat Chen Ran.

"Haha, Carlo, the hard days are finally coming to an end. We are now beating Crystal Palace to the top of the standings. Next, as long as we don't make mistakes, we can firmly hold the initiative to win the championship in our own hands."

"Hehe, Peter, it's easy for you to say it. 'Don't make mistakes' is easy to say, but it's too difficult to do. Seeing that the winter transfer period is coming, you have to add players to me."

Ancelotti complained in a hurry, while taking the opportunity to ask Peter Kenyon.

This guy is also the same as Mourinho, no one is a fuel-efficient lamp.

Peter Kenyon looked at Ancelotti's fat face and cursed secretly.

However, he can be regarded as a grasshopper tied to the same rope with Ancelotti now, and he will win and lose.

The boss Abramovich has already said before that if Chelsea does not win the championship this season, not only the head coach Ancelotti will be kicked out, but even his position as CEO will not be kept.

Therefore, Peter Kenyon patted Ancelotti on the shoulder very generously.

"Got it, Carlo, just tell whoever you want."

"Torres."

"Forehead"

Hearing this familiar name, the corners of Peter Kenyon's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

"Carlo, can't you change someone? I made an offer to Liverpool Club during the summer transfer period, but the other party rejected it without even talking about it."

"Now the owner of Liverpool Club is not the two poor Yankees before. The Qataris have more money than our owner. If they don't sell it, I can't help it."

Ancelotti also knew that what Peter Kenyon said was true, but he was well aware of the truth that "babies who cry have milk", and looked at Peter Kenyon with his hands spread out.

"Peter, Shevchenko is getting old, and his competitive level has dropped sharply. Although Drogba is an excellent center forward, his scoring ability is not very strong. Therefore, Chelsea now urgently needs a forward with high scoring efficiency. "

"I know what you're saying. But if you bring in players from other leagues, it's a huge question whether they can adapt to the pace of the Premier League."

"Torres does not have this problem. His performance in the past two seasons has fully proved his adaptability."

"No matter from which point of view, Torres is the most suitable candidate. Of course, if Peter can buy Cristiano Ronaldo from the Crystal Palace Club, then naturally there is no need to introduce Torres."

Ancelotti's last words almost made Peter Kenyon faint.

Wang Defa, if I can buy Cristiano Ronaldo, Mourinho will not run away to Spain, Chelsea can still have your place for Ancelotti?
Peter Kenyon, who rolled his eyes hard in his heart, forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Carlo, don't count on Cristiano Ronaldo. I don't know how many wealthy clubs have tried, but they were all rejected by the Chinese."

"In this way, I will contact the Liverpool Club to try Torres. If the other party still disagrees, then you should stop stalking and choose other strikers honestly."

"clear."

Liverpool FC, President's Office.

After the No.11 round of the Premier League, Liverpool has now fallen to the No.7 position.Nasser Al-Khelaifi obviously could not accept this result, and called the sports director Antero Enrique to the office.

"Antero, please contact Pep Guardiola again to see if he can come over to take over Liverpool ahead of time. You tell the other party, just ask for any conditions, everything is negotiable."

"Mr. Chairman, Pere Guardiola has told me more than once that it is difficult to change what his younger brother decides. The other party does not want to leave a mess for Barcelona Club, which will seriously affect his reputation."

Antero Enrique looked at Nasser Al-Khelaifi with a wry smile on his face. He now has a deep understanding of the phrase "problems that can be solved with money are not problems".

"Antero, but you have also seen the team's current results. They have fallen out of the Champions League qualification zone. If Liverpool loses the qualification to participate in the UEFA Champions League next season, there will be a big earthquake in the club."

Nasser Al-Khelaifi looked at Antero Enrique with a serious face, and said word by word: "If this happens, not only will you be kicked out, even I will be replaced .Understand?"

Antero Enrique's heart tightened when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered that Nasser Al-Khelaifi is not actually the real owner of Liverpool Club, he is just a manager sent by the Qatar consortium to manage Liverpool Club.

To put it bluntly, he is just a wage earner just like himself.

In order to keep himself as the sports director who has just taken office and is not yet in the hot seat, Antero Enrique came up with a plan out of desperation.

"Mr. Chairman, the winter transfer period will start in a while. We were banned from signing in the summer. Now it's better to call Benitez to discuss the matter of signing in to supplement our strength during the winter transfer period." ?”

"Benitez?"

Thinking of this guy bringing last season's league runner-up to what he is now, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is angry when he mentions Benitez.

"Mr. Chairman, the most important thing now is to keep the team's qualification for the Champions League next season. At this time, the team cannot do without Benitez." Antero Enrique persuaded earnestly.

"Okay, you call him over."
