Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 433

Under the command of Simeone, Crystal Palace's substitute lineup not only tied with Chelsea in 10 minutes, but even withstood the opponent's onslaught in overtime.

In the end, they lost to their opponents 5:6 in the penalty shootout, and regrettably failed to advance to the FA Cup final.

Due to his hard work, the veteran David Beckham was also injured, leaving Chen Ran with one less player at his disposal.

Only two days later, on April 4, Crystal Palace ushered in the No. 13 round of the Premier League.This time, they are going to challenge Hull City away.

Crystal Palace, who played with all the main players, easily defeated Hull City 3:1 with the goals of Ronaldo, Modric and Thiago Silva.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "level one blood recovery card" from the system.

In the other games of this round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Bolton 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, and Manchester United beat Blackburn Rovers 1-0 away.

Manchester City beat Birmingham 5-1 at home, and Liverpool beat Fulham 1-0 at Anfield.

Arsenal once again lost the chain. They lost 1:2 away to Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby.

With four games to go in the league, Crystal Palace are four points clear of Chelsea and five ahead of Manchester United, boosting their hopes of re-defending the Premier League title.

Three days later, on April 4th, in the No.17 fifth round of the Premier League, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace to an away game against Sunderland.

Because this game will be followed by the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, Chen Ran has made a substantial rotation of Crystal Palace's starting lineup.

Crystal Palace beat Sunderland 2-1 with goals from Edinson Cavani and Dzeko despite most of the substitutes.

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

In other games of this round of the Premier League, there is another strong dialogue that is very interesting.

In the previous Manchester derby, Manchester United had an absolute advantage.But now that Manchester City has a new boss, it's hard to say who will win.

In the end, with Berbatov's fairy ball, Manchester United defeated their rivals in the same city 1-0 in the away game, and continued to keep their hopes of winning the championship.

Chelsea also showed no mercy. They beat Tottenham Hotspur 2:1 in the away game, and they also followed closely behind Crystal Palace.

The day after the match against Sunderland, Chen Ran flew to Germany with the entire Crystal Palace team. On April 4, Crystal Palace will usher in the first round of the Champions League semi-finals.this one
Back, their opponent is the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich.

Thousands of miles away in China, this game also attracted the attention of many fans.

As one of the earliest European leagues broadcast in China, the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich has a large number of fans in China.

And because of Chen Ran's appearance, Crystal Palace has now come from behind and has become the most popular football club in China.

Even before the game started, the Crystal Palace's post bar was already very popular.

"Ten games in 30 days, playing an average of one game in three days for a whole month. And in the end, we have to face a strong opponent like Bayern Munich directly. I don't know if Crystal Palace can hold on now?"

"Upstairs, don't forget that Crystal Palace are between two Champions League games against Bayern Munich and one Premier League game against Liverpool."

"Fuck! From April 4st to April 21th, in six days, Crystal Palace will play three consecutive games against strong teams. Isn't this exhausting?"

"Yeah, Crystal Palace has already injured many of their main players, and now they don't even have a full-time defensive midfielder. How can they play this game?"

"I'll go! Hearing what you said, why do I feel that the Crystal Palace game is a bit hanging?"

"It's not a little hanging, but very hanging!"

"Ahem, it's a bit too much for you upstairs to say that. With that guy Chen Ran around, it's nothing to worry about."

"The one upstairs is Chen Ran's brainless fan, the identification is complete!"

"Fuck off! What do you mean by brain-dead fans? I have a factual basis. In the past two years, there was an injury that was worse than this season. Didn't Crystal Palace win the championship in the end?"

"But no matter how abnormal the previous schedule is, there is no such thing as playing ten games in 30 days, and the donkeys of the production team can't do that!"

"That's right. Players are human beings, not machines. Even machines need regular maintenance."

"Hey, it's useless for us to say more here. It depends on whether that guy Chen Ran can overcome this difficulty."

The current head coach of Bayern Munich is the famous Dutch coach Van Gaal, who just took over the team at the beginning of the season.

Under his leadership, Bayern Munich swept away the decline of last season, won nine consecutive victories, returned to the top of the Bundesliga standings, and also reached the semi-finals in the Champions League.

Now that Bayern Munich is gaining momentum, Van Gaal is thinking about winning the Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League treble this season.

This time Bayern Munich met Crystal Palace in the semi-finals, Van Gaal was very happy.

He left the Barcelona coach in 2003 and has since been coaching at the Dutch club Alkmaar.

This team is at best a mid-range team in the Eredivisie, with giant clubs like Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord on top, and the chances of qualifying for the Champions League are slim , Van Gaal naturally has no chance to play against Crystal Palace.

For Chen Ran, a newly-rising junior, Van Gaal has long wanted to compete with him.

Now that this opportunity has finally come, Van Gaal deliberately carried out a large-scale rotation in the Bundesliga last weekend, and prepared to fight Chen Ran's Crystal Palace with all his strength.

Center Gomez, Center Klose

Left Midfielder Schweinsteiger, Central Midfielder Van Bommel, Central Midfielder Demichelis, Right Midfielder Altintop

Left-back Alaba, center-back Van Buyten, center-back Budstubel, right-back Lahm

goalkeeper bout
On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran also dispatched all the main players who are still able to play.

Although it was a home game in Bayern Munich, Chen Ran still decided to follow the plan he made before and use offense instead of defense.

Ribery on the left, Cristiano Ronaldo on the center, Messi on the right

Central midfielder Fabregas, Central midfielder Pepe, Central midfielder Modric
Left back Chiellini, center back Thiago Silva, center back Vidic, right back Maicon

So, when the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Van Gaal immediately saw the Crystal Palace press all over the line, posing as if he wanted to take Bayern Munich in one bite.

This was completely beyond Van Gaal's expectations, and Van Gaal, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the Crystal Palace bench.

This is at the Allianz Arena in Bayern Munich. Is the coaching style of this Huaguo kid so tough?
Chen Ran didn't know what Van Gaal was thinking. All his attention now was on whether Crystal Palace could suppress Bayern Munich in the away game.

After all, the Bundesliga hegemony is not comparable to those weak Premier League teams such as Sunderland and Hull City.

The same tactics, which work well for Sunderland and Hull City, may not work for Bayern Munich.

Fortunately, the striker combination of Ronaldo, Messi and Ribery is really strong. The Bayern Munich defense line composed of Alaba, Van Buyten, Budstuber and Lahm was disrupted, making the center Field players had to come back to help defend.

As soon as Bayern Munich's midfield recovered, the two forwards, Gomez and Klose, were left alone in front.The two people without support were like kites with a broken string, unable to pose any threat to the Crystal Palace's defense.

Seeing this situation, Van Gaal, who was still full of confidence before the game, couldn't help but nod his head.

You must know that Lahm and Alaba are already considered very strong full-backs, but they turned out to be a little bit unable to stand up when defending Messi and Ribery.

And Ronaldo's playing style is completely different from the traditional center. He has been running out of the penalty area to cooperate with his teammates, which makes Bayern Munich's two central defenders Van Buyten and Budstubel very uncomfortable.

One of these two guys is 196cm tall and the other is 189cm tall. They can't keep up with Ronaldo's speed at all.

Especially when Ronaldo ran out of the penalty area and then turned back forward, Budstuber, who was in charge of marking him, was immediately left behind.

After Ronaldo made two shots through this trick, Van Gaal immediately adjusted his defense on the field.

He asked Budstuber not to follow Ronaldo out of the penalty area, and gave Ronaldo the defensive task outside the penalty area to midfielder Demichelis.

The Argentine international is also a versatile player who can play both central defender and defensive midfielder, but because he often makes mistakes, Van Gaal dare not use him as a central defender and arranges him to play as a defensive midfielder.

However, Demichelis never disappoints.

When Ronaldo once again ran out of Bayern Munich's penalty area to cooperate with Fabregas, Demichelis immediately followed the coach's latest instructions to take over the defense of Ronaldo.

After receiving a pass from Fabregas, Ronaldo first stepped on a few bicycles, and immediately kicked the goal after shaking the angle.

"boom!"

Demichelis is also very dedicated. Although he was shaken by Ronaldo's bicycle just now, his second reaction was also very quick. He immediately turned around and stretched his feet to block Ronaldo's shot.

The ball just touched Demichelis' foot, and the direction of flight changed immediately.

At this time, Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Bout has already started to move ahead of schedule.

As soon as the ball changed direction, it was too late for him to turn around and make a save.

In desperation, Bout could only watch the ball fly into the goal he was guarding.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Demichelis' own goal, Crystal Palace lead Bayern Munich 1-0 away.

On the sidelines, Van Gaal almost wanted to slap himself when he saw this scene.

Why let Demichelis defend Ronaldo?
Fortunately, Van Gaal is a famous coach after all, so he quickly controlled his emotions and shouted for Bayern Munich's players to start attacking. Van Gaal could not accept losing to Crystal Palace at his home court.

If Yaya Toure and Mascherano were both in the past, after taking the lead in the away game, Chen Ran might have started to counterattack logically.

But now that Crystal Palace only has one temporary cameo in the midfield, Pepe, who played as a defensive midfielder, Chen Ran is really not sure whether the team can withstand Bayern Munich's offense.

Therefore, Chen Ran has no other choice. Even in Bayern Munich's away game, even if the team is already ahead, he can only continue to attack.

As a result, more than 7 Bayern Munich fans at the Allianz Arena saw that the Crystal Palace was attacking desperately like a demon, as if this was the home court of the Crystal Palace.

The two teams fought fiercely in the midfield. Bayern Munich tried to rush out to attack several times, but was forced back by Crystal Palace.

However, although Bayern Munich failed to regain the initiative of the game, Crystal Palace failed to score again until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Intermission, Crystal Palace dressing room.

Looking at the drenched players in front of him, Chen Ran knew that they were exhausting a lot of energy.

After this high-intensity game, there are only two days of rest. These main players will definitely not be able to participate in the Premier League against Liverpool.

"Boss, shall we replace the two offensive cores of Ronaldo and Messi for a rest?"

Southgate also thought of the team's game against Liverpool two days later, and whispered a suggestion to Chen Ran.

"Forget it. We only have a one-goal lead now. It's not safe. Let's make sure we win this game first."

"In the game against Liverpool, we arranged for substitute players to play. We are now four points ahead of No.2 Chelsea. Even if the worst result occurs, we can afford it. Some games, give up when you have to give up. Understand?"

"Got it, boss."

After making up his mind, Chen Ran just encouraged the players as usual, without making any adjustments.

In Bayern Munich, Van Gaal was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half of the game.

After losing his temper, he replaced Gomez with Croatian striker Olic and Altintop with teenager Muller.

Olić and Klose partnered as double strikers, Muller served as the attacking midfielder, and Schweinsteiger, Van Bommel and Demichelis formed a midfield barrier.

The team's formation has also changed from 442 to 4312.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, I saw that Bayern Munich changed two players in one breath, and all of them were used on the offensive line.Chen Ran knew that Van Gaal was going to launch a general attack in advance.

Olić and Gomez have completely different styles. As a dexterous striker, he drilled in and out of the Crystal Palace penalty area after he came on the field.

Coupled with the addition of Van Gaal as Muller's midfielder, Bayern Munich's striker suddenly came alive.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ran couldn't help frowning.
