Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 440 Unusual

May 5, Madrid, Spain.

Outside the Bernabéu stadium, a strange scene appeared.

The Barcelona fans who traveled to Madrid gathered together, and in contrast, there were a larger number of Crystal Palace fans and Real Madrid fans.

Crystal Palace fans and Real Madrid fans hooked each other up and sang and danced. If it weren't for the different jerseys on their bodies, no one would think these guys were fans of the same team.

The Madrid police, who were in charge of security, quickly lined up a wall to separate the fans from both sides.

After two weeks of rest, the physical fitness of the Crystal Palace players has been completely recovered, and Chen Ran has been able to send all the main players who can play now.

Also because of injuries, Chen Ran continued his previous tactics.Even in the UEFA Champions League final, he still arranged for the Crystal Palace to press across the board, using offense instead of defense.

Forward Ronaldo, Forward Messi
Left Midfielder Evra, Central Midfielder Fabregas, Central Midfielder Pepe, Central Midfielder Modric, Right Midfielder Alves

Left centre-back Chiellini, centre-back Thiago Silva, right centre-back Kompany
goalkeeper cech
Of course, as the last game of the season for Crystal Palace, and also the last game for Chen Ran to coach Crystal Palace, he would naturally not allow a rollover.

Therefore, Chen Ran did not hesitate to use a "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card" for Ronaldo and Messi, and a "Free Kick Master Card" for Modric.

At the pre-match preparation meeting, Chen Ran deliberately called Ronaldo and Messi in public.

"Chris, Leo, you two have the 'right to fire freely' in this game. Take advantage of the opportunity. Whether Crystal Palace can continue to defend the Champions League this time depends on the performance of the two of you."

"No problem, boss, leave it to me, the champion must belong to our Crystal Palace."

Ronaldo did his part, and unceremoniously patted his chest to assure Chen Ran.

Messi was much more humble, and nodded to Chen Ran honestly.

"Boss, don't worry, I will do my best."

On the Barcelona side, although there is only one week of rest, Guardiola believes that the rhythm of one game a week is just right.

It may not be a good thing to rest for two weeks like Crystal Palace.

Coupled with the fact that Guardiola has played for the Crystal Palace for many years, it can be said that he knows the situation of the Crystal Palace well.

Seeing the familiar names on the Crystal Palace injured list, Guardiola immediately knew where the opponent's current loopholes were.

Guardiola has always regarded Chen Ran as his goal of learning and catching up, and he has always been eager to prove himself in front of Chen Ran.

Thinking that this might be his last chance to fight the boss, Guardiola was full of fighting spirit.

Since Crystal Palace is now weak in midfield defense, Guardiola will naturally not let go of this fatal weakness.

Therefore, he also adopted the tactic of pressing across the board for Barcelona, ​​​​preparing to stare at the weakness of the Crystal Palace and attack.

Left winger Henry, center Higuain, right winger Eto'o
Central midfield Xavi, Central midfield Busquets, Central midfield Iniesta

Left back Maxwell, center back Piqué, center back Marcos, right back Puyol
goalkeeper valdes
As soon as the game started, the performance of the two teams, Crystal Palace and Barcelona, ​​shocked everyone who was watching the game all over the world.

Press the offense so brazenly, and both teams do it.

Is this special or the Champions League final?
They don't think this game is a friendly match like the International Champions Cup, do they?
However, the audience who came to the Bernabéu stadium to watch the game were overjoyed, the ticket money was not in vain.

After using the "first-level chicken blood card", Ronaldo and Messi, who are in their peak form, combined their swords and disturbed Barcelona's defense.

Being able to win the La Liga championship for two consecutive seasons, Marcos and Pique, the combination of an old and a new central defender is supposed to be quite strong.

But in the face of Ronaldo and Messi, who can monopolize individual football awards for a long time, Marcos and Pique didn't even last for half an hour, and their opponents broke through the defense.

When the game progressed to No. 208 minutes, Messi and Ronaldo started from outside the penalty area of ​​Barcelona and played consecutive two-for-one cooperation. After penetrating the defense of Marcos and Pique, Ronaldo volleyed and broke through. Goal guarded by Valdes.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With the exquisite cooperation of Ronaldo and Messi, Crystal Palace led Barcelona 1-0.

As soon as Ronaldo scored, the Bernabéu stadium suddenly remembered deafening cheers.

Among them, Real Madrid fans wearing white jerseys were particularly excited.People who don't know think that Real Madrid is ahead of Barcelona.

However, Barcelona did not keep these Real Madrid fans happy for long.

Before the end of the first half, Eto'o used his speed to continuously break through the defense of Fabregas and Chiellini on the right, and broke through the Crystal Palace goal guarded by Petr Cech with a powerful long shot. It was tied 1:1.

Not long after, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

"Barcelona is doing well. It can equalize so quickly, it seems to be a lot better than last season."

In the stands, taking advantage of the intermission, football reporters from all over the world got together to discuss the first half of the game.

"The main reason is that Crystal Palace has been too affected by injuries this season. Pepe, the only defensive midfielder on the field, is still a temporary cameo as a central defender. The defensive strength is incomparable to before."

"Yes, the defense is the first thing to win the championship. The reason why Crystal Palace was able to win so many championship trophies before was because their defense was extremely solid. In this situation, it may be difficult for Crystal Palace to defend their title."

"That's not necessarily the case. Didn't you see that the two strikers of Crystal Palace today, Ronaldo and Messi, are in good condition?"

"No matter how many goals you score in the front, it's useless if you can't defend from the back."

"Why is it useless? Just score one more goal than concede."

Crystal Palace and Barcelona have not yet decided the winner, but the reporters in the stands quarreled first.

During the intermission, apart from encouraging the players as usual, Chen Ran did not make any substitutions and adjustments. He is very confident in Ronaldo and Messi who are at their peak.

On the Barcelona side, Guardiola is also very satisfied with the current score.

He knew very well in his heart that the Crystal Palace is now understaffed, so that Barcelona can draw with the opponent.

Therefore, Barcelona must continue to attack the weak links of Crystal Palace and cannot give the opponent a chance to breathe.

Therefore, Barcelona, ​​which also did not make any substitution adjustments, continued to fight against Crystal Palace at the beginning of the second half.

This time, it was Barcelona who scored first.

Iniesta penetrated the defense of Crystal Palace with a through ball. After receiving the ball, Henry threw off Alves and went straight into the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace.

Before Kompany came to cover the defense, Henry curled a ball with his right foot, and the ball flew into the top left corner of the Crystal Palace goal with a violent spin.

Cech flew up and tried his best but failed to touch the ball.

With Henry's goal, Barcelona overtook Crystal Palace 2:1.

"Wang Defa! Barcelona overtook the score, are they going to be upset this time?"

"What upset? Barcelona is already a top team at the same level as Crystal Palace."

"Hahahaha, you are not afraid of being ridiculed when you say this?"

"Hehe, it's better than some teams that can't even play against Barcelona."

"Fart! Barcelona is just lucky. Who knows that Mourinho, an idiot, can't beat Chen Ran, but even Chen Ran's assistant coach Guardiola can't beat him?"

"Although Guardiola was Chen Ran's assistant coach before, his progress in coaching Barcelona in the past two years is obvious to all. Today is the best time for him to defeat Chen Ran."

"(ˉ▽￣～) Cut~~, idiot!"

"Fxxxk!"

In the stands, I don't know who arranged the pro-Barcelona "Mundo Deportivo" reporter and the pro-Real Madrid "Marca" reporter to sit together.

The game between Crystal Palace and Barcelona was not over yet, but they quarreled first.

On the sidelines, seeing Barcelona lead the score, Chen Ran was still sitting on the bench as stable as Mount Tai.

Just because he could hold his breath, it didn't mean that the others could hold their breath too. Southgate immediately moved to Chen Ran's side.

"Boss, should we substitute someone to strengthen our offense now?"

Chen Ran didn't answer Southgate's question directly, but glanced at the game time first, then reached out and patted Southgate on the shoulder.

"Gareth, the game is only going on for more than 50 minutes now, there is still time, don't worry, wait a little longer. Ronaldo and Messi are in very good condition today, you have to have confidence in them."

Before Chen Ran finished speaking, deafening cheers suddenly sounded in the Bernabéu stadium.

It was Messi, who dribbled the ball laterally along Barcelona's penalty area line after breaking through former team-mate Xavi's defense on the right.

After swaying past the Barcelona defenders who came up to defend one by one, he flashed out of the gap and directly took a curve ball with his left foot.

"boom!"

Like Henry's previous shot, the ball flew into the upper right corner of the Barcelona goal with a strong spin.

The goalkeeper Valdez reacted very quickly, moved his feet immediately, and then flew out with a sideways throw.

Unfortunately, Messi's shot hit a ten-point corner.

The ball slid into the Barcelona net through the only gap between the crossbar, post and Valdés' hand.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

Less than 5 minutes after Henry's goal, Messi returned the same way and tied the score 2:2 for Crystal Palace.

On the sidelines, Southgate, who wanted to persuade Chen Ran just now, was also dumbfounded.

"Boss, I'm convinced."

However, what made Southgate even more dumbfounded was yet to come.

When Ronaldo dribbled the ball again and was brought down by the Barcelona defender and won a free kick in a good position, Chen Ran suddenly stood up from the bench and walked to the sidelines.

"Chris!"

Chen Ran called Ronaldo's name loudly.

At this time, Ronaldo, who picked up the ball and was walking towards the foul spot, was stunned when he heard Chen Ran's voice.

After becoming famous, in the past two years, Chen Ran hasn't directed the game loudly from the sidelines for a long time.

"Let Luca take this free kick!"

Chen Ran shouted and pointed at Modric with his finger.

Although Ronaldo's free kick skills are well practiced now, Chen Ran is more willing to believe in the latter than Modric who used the "Free Kick Master Card".

"Boss, Cristiano Ronaldo is also good at free kicks. He has scored several free kicks this season."

Seeing that Chen Ran didn't intend to let Ronaldo take the free kick, Southgate couldn't help but leaned over to remind him.

"Gareth, it's different today. It's more appropriate for Luka to take the free kick."

On the court, Ronaldo obviously hesitated after hearing Chen Ran's order.

Although Modric has always been designated by Chen Ran as the number one set-kick taker for Crystal Palace, in many games, neither Ronaldo nor Ribery has taken away the penalty from Modric. Free kick opportunities, and Chen Ran has never stopped the behavior of Ronaldo and Ribery.

But today, Chen Ran uncharacteristically intervened in the choice of the free kick, which made everyone familiar with Chen Ran feel a little unusual.

Ronaldo was obviously aware of the abnormality, and he didn't make any troubles, and honestly handed the ball to Modric.

"Little Luca, if you fail to score this goal, I will suggest to the boss: Disqualify you as the first free kick taker of Crystal Palace in the future."

Although according to Chen Ran's order, the right to take the free kick was returned to Modric, but Ronaldo did not forget to threaten Modric a little.

"Well, I see."

Modric took the ball with a wry smile, who am I provoking?
However, jokes are jokes, Modric still set the ball seriously.

The position of this free kick is very good, not far outside the Barcelona penalty area line, and the angle is quite straight, especially suitable for direct attacks.

Barcelona was on the verge of a formidable enemy, and everyone returned to their own restricted area. Under the command of goalkeeper Valdez, they formed a long wall of people.

Modric stood next to the ball, looked up and carefully observed Valdez's position and the arrangement of the human wall.

When the referee blew his whistle, he almost didn't run up, and directly rubbed a curve ball with his right foot.

"boom!"

The ball would go over the top of the wall and bounce on the ground before flying to the Barcelona goal.

It was this rebound that just happened to allow the ball to escape Valdez's pounced hand and go straight into Barcelona's net.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Modric's free kick directly scored, Crystal Palace once again led Barcelona 3:2.

"Oh!"

The entire Bernabéu stadium suddenly became a vegetable market.

Amid the deafening cheers, the boos of more than 2 Barcelona fans can still be clearly heard.

On the sidelines, the bench of Crystal Palace also became a sea of ​​joy.

"Boss, you are so awesome!"

Southgate was thrilled.

Everyone saw Chen Ran's actions on the sidelines just now.

Although it is possible for Ronaldo to take the penalty and score, judging from the results, Chen Ran's decision is obviously very correct.
