Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 454
Chen Ran is no stranger to this Uruguayan team. During the World Cup in South Africa last year, Chen Ran led Portugal to play against them.

At that time, Portugal defeated Uruguay, and this time they played against each other again. The team coached by Chen Ran has become Brazil.

After entering the knockout stage, Chen Ran was fully motivated.He dispatched the entire main lineup in his hands, ready to send Uruguay home again.

Left winger Neymar, center Diego Costa, right winger Pato

Kaka
DM Fernandinho, DM Ramirez

Left back Marcelo, center back Thiago Silva, center back David Luiz, right back Alves

On the other side of Uruguay, the head coach Tavares was also very speechless when he met Chen Ran again.

Why does this guy have to go to South America to join in the fun without the world champion Portugal?
However, no matter how unhappy, Tavares can only face reality.

He can only send Uruguay's strongest lineup now, and then pray that Brazil can be as depressed as in the group stage.

Forward Diego Forlan, Forward Cavani
Suarez
Central midfielder Pereira, Central midfielder Alvaro, Central midfielder Gargano
Left back Cáceres, center back Victorino, center back Godin, right back Gonzalez
Muslera
Unlike the World Cup, Tavares put Suarez in the starting lineup as a shadow striker this time.

The three forwards, Diego Forlan, Cavani, and Suarez, were all at once, obviously planning to put all their eggs in one basket and fight with the Brazilian team to attack with all their strength.

On the Brazilian side, Chen Ran's order to the players was also to attack with all their strength, and they did it even more extreme.

Because the Brazilian team has two full-backs with outstanding offensive capabilities, Chen Ran simply did not set up a full-back.

Marcelo on the left and Alves on the right went directly to the midfield, and cooperated with the two wingers Neymar and Pato to continuously attack Uruguay's defense.

This move immediately made Uruguay a little overwhelmed, and the players in the midfield had to retreat to compress the space and strengthen the defense.

But in this way, there was a disconnect between Uruguay's top three forwards and other teammates, and the overall offensive effect was greatly reduced.

When the game progressed to No. 303 minutes, after Neymar on the left received the ball, he first played a fried ball and passed the Uruguayan midfielder Gargano, and then passed another one through the crotch. Right back Gonzalez.

Realizing that the situation was not good, central defender Victorino immediately pushed out to defend.

At this time, Brazil's left back Marcelo plugged in at high speed along the left line from behind.

Neymar seemed to have eyes behind his back. While attracting Victorino's defensive attention, he tapped his heel lightly, and the ball was just delivered to Marcelo's forward line.

Marcelo took the ball and rushed directly behind Neymar, and then dribbled the ball into the Uruguayan penalty area.

This time, another central defender of Uruguay, Godin, had no choice but to give up Diego Costa, who he was in charge of marking, and hurried over to intercept Marcelo.

Finding that Diego Costa was open, Marcelo passed the ball directly without any hesitation.

At this time, other Uruguayan players who wanted to come over to defend had not had time to come back.

Diego Costa didn't stop the ball either, swinging his right foot and hitting a volley.

"boom!"

Due to the close distance, the goalkeeper Muslera had no time to react. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the ball flew into Uruguay's net.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Diego Costa's goal, Brazil leads Uruguay 1-0.

"Haha, this is what Brazil should look like!"

"Let me just say, in the first two games, that guy Chen Ran must be adjusting the lineup to find his status."

"That's right. With Chen Ran's coaching level, isn't it easy to lead the Brazil team to win the Copa America?"

"Good guy, there are so many hindsights upstairs. Who was worried that the Brazilian team would be eliminated in the group stage?"

"Fart! What is an afterthought? I have never doubted Chen Ran's coaching ability!"

"That's right. I've always believed that Chen Ran can lead the Brazilian team to win this year's Copa America."

The problem with second-tier teams is that there is only one lineup that can play. Uruguay's head coach Tavares is now facing this dilemma.

The best players in his hands have already been sent to the court.

Compared with the main players on the field, most of the players on the bench have a big gap in strength.

If it is replaced, not only will it not achieve the desired effect, but it may also be counterproductive.

Therefore, after seeing Brazil score the first goal, Tavares stood on the sidelines without any action for a long time.

Obviously, he pinned all his hopes of winning the game on the performance of the main players on the field.

However, Tavares' good wishes are doomed to fail.

The ability of Brazilian players to play against the wind is not very good, but one by one is better than the other when playing against the wind.

After taking the lead, the Brazilian team opened up completely.

Before the end of the first half, Fernandinho passed the ball to Kaka immediately after stealing the ball from the backcourt.

Kaka dribbled the ball from the midfield all the way, past the two Uruguayan midfielders Alvaro and Gargano, and then directly kicked a long shot from outside the penalty area.

"boom!"

The ball went straight to the upper left corner of Uruguay's goal like a fired shell. Although the goalkeeper Muslera tried his best, he couldn't touch the ball. He could only watch the ball fly into the ball from in front of his eyes. net.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Kaka's solo breakthrough, Brazil leads Uruguay 2:0.

"It's steady, it's steady. Now we can talk about Brazil's opponents in the semi-finals."

"I'm going. This is only the first half of the game. It's not appropriate to be so high-profile upstairs? Be careful of Istanbul night."

"Bah, Crow's Mouth! How could something like this happen to such a rogue as Chen Ran?"

"That's right. Since Chen Ran became the head coach, has anyone reversed it?"

"Huh? It seems that there are really none."

"So, take it easy. There are thieves, and Brazil will definitely win this game."

During the intermission, because the game played very smoothly in the first half, the Brazil locker room was full of laughter.

Apart from encouraging the players to make persistent efforts, Chen Ran did not make subsequent substitutions and adjustments.

In Uruguay's dressing room, it was a completely different scene.

No one spoke, and the air pressure was frighteningly low.

Coach Tavares stood there motionless, because he couldn't come up with any effective ways to reverse the current situation.

Uruguay's strongest offensive players are already on the field. If they can't break through Brazil's defense, then others are even less likely.

The most important thing is that because the Brazilian team's offensive pressure is too great, the midfielders can't stand up, which leads to the serious disconnection of Uruguay's current formation.

The three forwards couldn't get enough support in the front, like a kite with a broken string, they couldn't play their due role at all.

After hesitating for a long time, Tavares finally decided to let Suarez, Cavani and Diego Forlan retreat to the midfield.

Although this will reduce the chance of scoring goals because it is far away from Brazil's goal, it at least increases Uruguay's midfield strength and solves the problem of disconnection between front and back.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, after Tavares' adjustment, Uruguay's formation moved back as a whole, and the space between each other was greatly reduced, making Brazil's offense seem to have stepped into a swamp for a while.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ran didn't rush, and the old god sat on the bench.

Anyway, the Brazilian team is now leading by two goals. Uruguay took the initiative to keep the striker away from the Brazilian team's penalty area. He was too happy.

In this way, at the beginning of the second half of the game, the Brazilian team could no longer play as vigorously as in the first half, and the situation on the field fell into anxiety.

After 10 minutes of the game, Chen Ran replaced Kaka, Neymar and Diego Costa with Douglas Costa, William and Fred.

On the Uruguay side, although the Brazilian team replaced three core offensive players, the pressure on their defense has eased.

However, Uruguay's own players' physical fitness began to decline significantly. At this time, even though the head coach Tavares kept changing players and wanted to counterattack, he was already powerless, and it was difficult to pose a fatal threat to Brazil's defense.

In the end, with goals from Diego Costa and Kaka, Brazil beat Uruguay 2-0.

While successfully advancing to the semi-finals, Chen Ran also got a "first-level chicken blood card" from the system.

In the other semi-finals, Argentina avoided Uruguay, so they also successfully entered the semi-finals this time.

In the semi-finals, Brazil will face Peru, while Argentina will meet Paraguay.

The Peruvian team was not a normal Brazilian opponent at all. Chen Ran even made some rotations in the game against Peru.

Even so, the Brazilian team still easily won Peru 3:1 with the goals of Douglas Costa, Teixeira and Fred.

While successfully advancing to the final, Chen Ran also got a "Free Kick Master Card" from the system.

In another semi-final, Argentina defeated the tenacious Paraguay 2:1 and successfully joined Brazil in the Copa America final.

"Haha, how is it? I said that the Brazilian team must be fine. Isn't it in the final now?"

"That's right. I stumbled at the beginning of the competition, but was able to reach the final all the way. This is a typical championship road."

"Ahem, let me tell you, the two upstairs, do you think Argentina is a weak chicken?"

"That's right. Argentina's strength is not weaker than Brazil's. It's not certain who will have the last laugh."

"It's okay. Originally, Brazil and Argentina were at the same level, but now that Brazil has Chen Ran's blessing, its strength must surpass that of Argentina."

"Fuck! Don't lose your character upstairs, okay? I seriously suspect that you are a sunspot who came here to make trouble!"

"It makes sense. Before the war, it was time to save character, and that guy's behavior was very suspicious."

"Let me balance it out. The Brazilian team is not as strong as Argentina, and the final will be more or less auspicious."

"Hahahaha, I'll have one too. Argentina must be the champion."

Chen Ran is no stranger to the current head coach of the Argentina team, Batista.

This guy was the main midfielder of the Argentine team that won the 1986 World Cup, and in 2008, Batista also led the Argentine Olympic team to the Olympic championship as the head coach.

In his previous life, he succeeded Maradona as the head coach of the Argentine national team after the World Cup in South Africa, and was fired by the Argentine Football Association because of his poor performance in leading the team in this Copa America.Later, he went to Huaguo to make money and became the head coach of Shencheng Flower.

According to the current development, Batista should also thank Chen Ran. Without Chen Ran's appearance, Batista would have been kicked out by the Argentine Football Association.

In fact, Argentina's current lineup is not bad, especially the configuration of the midfield and frontcourt, which can be called luxurious.

Forwards: Messi, Higuain, Aguero, Tevez, Diego Milito, Lavezzi.

Midfielders: Di Maria, Mascherano, Cambiasso, Gago, Pastore, Banega, Biglia.

Defenders: Zanetti, Zabaleta, Burdisso, Gabriel Milito, Rojo, Garay, Pareja.

Goalkeepers: Romero, Andujar, Carrizo

For this final, Chen Ran will certainly not be as arrogant and rotate as he was in the semi-final against Peru.This time, he sent all the main players who could play in his hands.

Left winger Neymar, center Diego Costa, right winger Pato

Kaka
DM Fernandinho, DM Ramirez

Left back Marcelo, center back Thiago Silva, center back David Luiz, right back Alves

On the Argentine side, Batista was also full of ambition, ready to have a good arm wrestle with Chen Ran, and then stepped on the opponent to lift the championship trophy.

Left winger Aguero, center forward Higuain, right winger Messi
Central midfielder Mascherano, central midfielder Gago, central midfielder Cambiasso
Left back Zanetti, center back Burdisso, center back Gabriel Milito, right back Zabaleta

When Chen Ran saw Argentina's starting lineup, he immediately had a bottom line in his heart.

Because Batista, like the previous game, still uses the 38-year-old Zanetti to play the main left back.

At the pre-match preparation meeting, Chen Ran asked the Brazilian players to focus on attacking Zanetti.

It's not that Chen Ran looks down on Zanetti, but that at the age of 38, he is really not suitable to play a full-back, a position that requires extremely high speed and physical fitness.

What's more, Batista asked Zanetti not to play the right back he was familiar with.

What Chen Ran couldn't figure out was, could it be that Argentina couldn't find a qualified left-back right now, and had to ask the old captain to play a guest role?
However, that's fine too.

Since Batista insisted on doing so, Chen Ran would not be polite.
