Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 434 Do You Believe It?

Fortunately, the offensive players of Crystal Palace are very powerful. When Ronaldo once again ran out of Bayern Munich's penalty area to receive a pass from Modric.

He didn't stop the ball before Demichelis came up to close the press, but knocked the ball directly into the Bayern Munich penalty area with his heel.

At the same time, Messi on the right is also throwing off Alaba and advancing towards Bayern Munich's penalty area at high speed.

And Ronaldo's heel pass was passed to Messi's forward line just right.

Messi took the ball and rushed directly to Bayern Munich's goal.

Realizing that the situation was not good, central defender Van Buyten hurried over to defend.

It's a pity that in front of Messi, Van Buyten, who is 196cm tall, is almost like a wooden stake.

Messi flicked and dunked, and the ball passed between Van Buyten's legs.

After passing Van Buyten, only Bayern Munich goalkeeper Bout remained in front of Messi.

Before another central defender Budstuber rushed over and flew to block the hole of the gun, Messi kicked the goal directly.

"boom!"

Because the distance was too close, Bout had no time to react.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the ball flew into the net.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Messi's goal, Crystal Palace lead Bayern Munich 2-0 away.

As soon as the second goal was scored, the Allianz Arena, which accommodated more than 7 Bayern Munich fans, suddenly fell silent.

On the sidelines, Van Gaal blushed with anger.

Bayern Munich's offense was about to start just now, but it was interrupted by this goal all of a sudden.

Van Gaal even worried that in the next game, the morale of the Bayern Munich players would not recover.

On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran immediately called Southgate to his side.

"Gareth, go and tell the players, don't relax just because you're leading by two goals, keep attacking for me. Go score as many goals as possible, understand?"

"Okay, boss."

Van Gaal soon discovered that Crystal Palace had no intention of stopping after the re-kick-off.As for his own players, the morale was as low as he feared.

For a while, Van Gaal shouted anxiously on the sidelines, trying to boost the morale of the players on the field.

However, morale is a thing, although it is invisible and intangible, but it really exists.

After being scored twice by Crystal Palace at their home court, although Bayern Munich's players re-launched the attack under the constant encouragement of coach Van Gaal, the effect was no longer comparable to before.

In the end, with Demichelis' own goal and Messi's goal, Crystal Palace defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 away.

While getting the initiative to advance to the Champions League final, Chen Ran also got a "first-level chicken blood card" from the system.

After the game, thousands of miles away in China, although they had stayed up all night, many Crystal Palace fans still didn't go to sleep, but spent time discussing the game in the post bar.

"Hahahaha, Crystal Palace is really strong! Without so many main players, they were still able to beat Bayern Munich in an away game. They deserve to be recognized as the strongest team in world football today."

"Ever since Yaya Toure and Mascherano were injured, I have been worried that Crystal Palace's midfield defense is too weak. I didn't expect that guy Chen Ran to be really tough enough to use offense instead of defense. response."

"That's right. I didn't expect Chen Ran to do this in the away game against Bayern Munich. From the beginning to the end, Bayern Munich was never given a chance to breathe."

"Haha, this is called 'surprise victory', and the nickname 'chicken thief' is not for nothing."

"Chen Ran is awesome!"

The attention of domestic Crystal Palace fans is completely different. In England, the media are more interested in Crystal Palace's next game against Liverpool.

"Although Liverpool are destined to miss out on the Premier League trophy this season, they can decide who wins the trophy."

"Since Rijkaard took over Liverpool, the team's record has risen in a straight line. If Benitez hadn't dug too deep in the first half of the season, maybe Liverpool is now competing with Crystal Palace for the Premier League title."

"Crystal Palace is now full of injuries and the players are extremely tired. Liverpool has no other burdens except the Premier League. With leisure and waiting for work, they are very likely to beat Crystal Palace."

"Whether Crystal Palace can defend the Premier League title again depends on whether Liverpool agree."

After the match against Bayern Munich, Chen Ran led the Crystal Palace team back to London without stopping.

Just two days apart, on April 4, Crystal Palace will play the No.24 Premier League No.30 six-round match against Liverpool at home.

After Rijkaard took over Liverpool, the team rushed to catch up with a wave of winning streak, and has now risen to sixth place in the standings.

With three matches remaining in the league, Liverpool are five points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.

Although it is difficult to compete for a place in the Champions League next season, there is no problem with qualifying for the Europa League.

Of course, the Liverpool club, which spent 6000 million euros in the winter transfer period, obviously will not be satisfied with just participating in the Europa League.

Despite knowing that Crystal Palace is very strong, Rijkaard still intends to take points from his opponent.

He has carefully studied all the recent games of Crystal Palace, and knows that the opponent is currently in a bad state due to the multiple effects of player injuries, too dense schedule, and players' physical overdraft.

On Liverpool's side, after the reinforcement during the winter transfer period, coupled with the fact that they now only have the Premier League as their front line, Liverpool can be said to be recharging their energy and waiting for work, which makes Rijkaard very excited about this game. Have confidence.

Moreover, in response to the absence of the two major midfielders Yaya Toure and Mascherano due to injuries on the Crystal Palace side, Rijkaard gave Liverpool a starting lineup with a full attack.

Forward Villa, Forward Torres

Left Midfielder David Silva, Central Midfielder Xavi Alonso, Central Midfielder Gerrard, Right Midfielder Maxi Rodriguez

Left back Kolarov, center back David Luiz, center back Carragher, right back Arbeloa
goalkeeper reina
On the Crystal Palace side, since the team has just played a battle against Bayern Munich in Germany, the main players are basically in a state of extreme fatigue.

In desperation, Chen Ran could only make substantial adjustments to the starting lineup.

Forward Dzeko, Forward Cavani
Suarez
Left midfielder Evra, right midfielder Vardy

Pepe
Left back Chiellini, center back Thiago Silva, center back Kompany, right back Alves
goalkeeper cech
Chen Ran, who knew the team's condition was not good, bleeds heavily this time.

He used the "first-level chicken blood card" for Cavani and Suarez at the same time, and also used the "first-level blood recovery card" for Chiellini and Thiago Silva, who have been fighting continuously.

Then before the start of the game, Chen Ran also specifically explained to Cavani and Suarez that they have the "right to fire freely" in this game, and they can play as they want.

The strength of the reinforced Liverpool has indeed been greatly improved. Among the 11 starting players on the field, there are actually six Spanish internationals.

You know, in the previous life, these Spanish internationals won the World Cup in South Africa this summer.

Rijkaard, who is very aware of Crystal Palace's weak defense in the midfield, ordered Liverpool's players to attack with all their strength from the first minute of the game.

Only one Crystal Palace midfielder with Pepe temporarily playing as a defensive midfielder could not stop Liverpool's onslaught at all.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Torres received a pass from David Silva and volleyed past Petr Cech's goal. Crystal Palace trailed Liverpool 0-1 at home.

Fortunately, Chen Ran's "first-level blood card" was not in vain. Less than 10 minutes after Liverpool's goal, Cavani, who was in peak form, received a cross from Evra from the left and headed back. The ball was given back to Suarez a little bit.

Suarez didn't wait for the ball to land at all, and directly played a volley shot in Liverpool's penalty area.

"boom!"

Goalkeeper Reina was caught off guard, and when he made a save, the ball had already flown into the net.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Suarez's world wave goal, Crystal Palace tied the score at 1:1.

However, Crystal Palace was not happy for long.

At the end of the first half, Villa received a header from Torres and took the risk of being kicked in the head by Thiago Silva. A diving jump broke the goal guarded by Petr Cech before, and Liverpool led Crystal Palace again 2:1.

In the stands, many reporters who were attracted by this powerful dialogue were more excited than the Liverpool players on the field.

"Hahahaha, it's not easy. Crystal Palace is behind Liverpool twice. Is it really dawn?"

"There is something about Rijkaard. He deserves to be the coach who can lead Barcelona to the Champions League."

"Ahem, the game is only halfway through, isn't it too early for you to be happy?"

"This time is different from before. Crystal Palace's two main defensive midfielders are all absent due to injuries. If the midfield defense can't withstand it, maybe Liverpool can score in the second half."

"That's right. It can be said that Crystal Palace's defense is at its weakest now, and Liverpool have a good chance of winning this game."

"If Crystal Palace lose this game and second-placed Chelsea win, then there is only one point between them."

"Haha, this is a good show to watch."

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, Liverpool must fight!"

During the halftime break, because the team fell behind rarely, the atmosphere in the locker room of Crystal Palace was tense.

Chen Ran didn't mean to blame the players at all. He didn't make any substitutions and adjustments other than giving the players a lot of blood as usual.

On the Liverpool side, it is rare to be able to lead the Crystal Palace, which filled the entire locker room with laughter.Especially those old players who have played in the Premier League for many years, they are all very excited.

Coach Frank Rijkaard did not stop the players from talking, just stood aside with a smile and listened quietly.

He also didn't make any substitution adjustments other than to encourage his players to continue their efforts before the end of the break.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, neither of the two teams stopped, and the fierce offensive battle made the fans hooked.

When the game progressed to 5 minutes, Vardy's wide cross was pushed out of the penalty area by Liverpool's central defender David Luiz.

Suarez's volley from outside the penalty area was saved by goalkeeper Reina, and Cavani happened to be on the flight path of the ball.

Without any hesitation, Cavani immediately soared into the air, and kicked the ball towards Liverpool's goal with an upside-down golden hook.

Goalkeeper Reina just got up from the ground after finishing the save. Before he could react, he could only watch the ball fly into the net in front of him.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Cavani's barb shot, Crystal Palace once again tied the score to 2:2, and the two teams returned to the same starting line.

However, the goal of this game is far from over.

Ten minutes later, Thiago Silva pushed the cross from Liverpool right forward Maxi Rodriguez out of the penalty area.

But outside the penalty area, Pepe did not rush to the ball in the first place, and Liverpool captain Gerrard volleyed the ball.

The ball went directly to the upper left corner of the Crystal Palace goal, Petr Cech was unable to make a save, and Crystal Palace fell behind Liverpool again 2:3.

Just when everyone thought that Liverpool was about to defeat Crystal Palace in an upset, it was Cavani and Suarez, a pair of Uruguayan strikers, who stood up again.

As the game drew to a close, Suarez bounced a long-range shot from outside the penalty area into the Liverpool post.

In the penalty area, Cavani's reaction was extremely fast, and he directly stretched his foot in the direction of the ball's rebound.

"boom!"

As if playing table tennis, the ball bounced back to Liverpool's goal in an instant.

Goalkeeper Reina didn't even have time to make a save, but subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the ball flew into the net from his side.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Cavani's supplementary shot, Crystal Palace once again equalized the score 3:3.

In the end, with Suarez's goal and Cavani's brace, Crystal Palace drew Liverpool 3:3 at home.

"Wang Defa! The life of this Crystal Palace is too hard, isn't it? You can't even lose?"

"No way, the players of Crystal Palace are too strong. Who would have thought that the two little-known young Uruguayan forwards would be so powerful?"

"Hey! That Chinese man's vision in selecting players is unacceptable."

"It seems that this season's Premier League champion may belong to Crystal Palace again."

"That's not necessarily the case. Both Chelsea and Manchester United won, and Chelsea beat Stoke City 7-0. This time, their two teams are only two points and three points behind Crystal Palace respectively, and there are two rounds left. The league is not completely hopeless."

"Hehe, Crystal Palace's opponents in the last two rounds are Birmingham and Tottenham Hotspur. Do you think Crystal Palace will lose points against these two opponents?"

"Eh Tottenham Hotspur can still beat Crystal Palace."

"Do you believe it yourself?"
