Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 69 Leaping high handsomely

David. O'Leary is also very unhappy, although Aston Villa's offensive advantage.But he knew very well in his heart that Aston Villa did not have as many opportunities as Crystal Palace in terms of the threat opportunities created.

Crystal Palace's two wide players, both technically and fast, pose a great threat to Aston Villa's defense, which forced him to order his full-backs to give up their offense and stay on the mark.

As a result, Aston Villa's frontcourt offense will be greatly affected.

If this continues, I am afraid that they will be tied by the Crystal Palace.

If there is still extra time, it will consume too much energy for the players, and it will not be good if it affects the Premier League on the weekend.Now Aston Villa has just left the relegation zone and is not safe yet.

If you want to kick a penalty kick, it will be even worse. It doesn't matter who is the Premier League team or the Championship team, it all depends on luck.

Thinking of this, David O'Reilly felt that the fight could not be delayed any longer and the battle must be resolved within 90 minutes.

Then he sent Croatian striker Balaban and England midfielder Gavin McCann on the bench to warm up and prepare for a general attack.

Chen Ran, who had been paying attention to Aston Villa's bench, immediately discovered David O'Reilly's intentions.

It seems that David O'Reilly is going to win Crystal Palace in 90 minutes.

He didn't want to play overtime, let alone kick a penalty.

Chen Ran touched the stubble that had just appeared on his chin, thinking that he could take advantage of David O'Reilly's mentality.

The further he goes, the more anxious he will be.

At that time, if David O'Reilly asks the whole team to attack, the gap in the defense will inevitably increase, and then the opportunity for Crystal Palace to counterattack will come.

After making up his mind, Chen Ran was even less anxious.

Crystal Palace is not afraid of overtime. Except for Southgate and Simeone, they are all young lads with plenty of energy.

And compared with David O'Reilly, Chen Ran doesn't need to think about staying for the league, because Crystal Palace's lead is big enough to afford it.

Now, in Chen Ran's heart, his thinking is actually similar to that of David O'Reilly, and he has also focused on the League Cup. He also wants to play in the UEFA Cup next season with Crystal Palace.

And getting qualified to participate in the UEFA Cup as a secondary league team, it makes sense to think about it.

Therefore, Chen Ran stood on the sidelines, as stable as Mount Tai.

Watching David O'Reilly change one person after another, staying still.

It was the first time David O'Reilly played against Chen Ran, so he didn't find it strange.

But the reporters in the stands who had been following and reporting on Chen Ran were all amazed.

"It's strange. Usually, if there is a slight change in the opponent, the Huaguo will immediately respond. Why is it already the second half today, and Aston Villa has also changed two players, and there is no movement at Crystal Palace?"

"Yeah, it's indeed a bit weird. In the past, the Hua Guo people changed players and teams in the first half, but today they haven't done anything since the beginning. Is it a change of sex?"

"Is it the first time facing a Premier League team, he was a little scared, so he didn't dare to make changes easily?"

"It's possible. Before, his opponents were all teams of the same level, which didn't put much pressure on him. Now that he encounters a real strong enemy, he will be scared. It seems that the Huaguo is a coward and his true colors are about to be exposed."

"Haha, it makes sense. It seems that this coward was probably stunned by Aston Villa today, and he forgot to make a substitution."

David O'Reilly's feelings were completely different from those of the reporters in the stands.

He just wants to scold his mother now.

Obviously replaced with a new force to strengthen the attack, but the result is no different from before.

So far, Aston Villa have only a handful of threatening shots, and even none of the absolute chances to score.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace, Tony who stayed in the frontcourt, and Ronaldo and Ribery on the two wings, are like fishbone stuck in the throat, which cannot be removed or swallowed, stab you from time to time, let David. O'Reilly was very distressed.

Aston Villa, which has an absolute advantage on the scene, still has nothing to do with Crystal Palace.

As time went by, whether it was David O'Reilly or the Aston Villa players, they gradually became impatient.

"beep"

Cristiano Ronaldo's counterattack with the ball was destroyed by a flying shovel from the Aston Villa defender and went out of the sideline.

Ronaldo himself was shoveled and flew up with the ball, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Fxxxk! Red card! This is definitely a red card move!"

As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, the angry Chen Ran shouted excitedly, and the team doctor also ran towards Ronaldo.

Fortunately, the opponent's defender's foot did not shovel directly on Ronaldo's leg.

And Ronaldo's physical fitness is really good. After lying on the ground for a while, he slowed down and stood up like a normal person.

Seeing that Ronaldo had no major problems, the referee just gave the Aston Villa defender a yellow card.

And Chen Ran, who was still chattering, was warned once by the referee.

Relying on this opponent's foul, Crystal Palace got a free kick on the right side of the front court, and Modric stood next to the ball without hesitation.

After the referee's permission, Ronaldo returned to the field.

When passing by Modric, he exchanged a word in a low voice.

"Pass it later."

After all, without waiting for Modric to reply, he ran straight to his position.

According to Chen Ran's tactical requirements, Ronaldo, as a wide player, is responsible for grabbing the back point.

I don't know if it was intentional, but Modric's free kick was obviously too powerful, and the arc rotated high to the back point.

In the restricted area, no one could reach the ball, whether it was Crouch who grabbed the front point, Tony who was in charge of the middle, and the big guys on them.

At the latter point, the Aston Villa full-back who was assigned to mark Ronaldo was obviously not tall enough, and he was a head shorter than Ronaldo.

In addition, Ronaldo's jumping is very outstanding, so everyone saw a handsome guy jumping high, as if he stood out from the crowd, and smashed the ball into Aston Villa's goal.

"Goal"

Finally scored.

Chen Ran and the team members who rushed forward hugged together and celebrated wildly.

At this point, the game has gone to 82 minutes.

"Guys, you've done a fantastic job. 10 minutes to go, 10 more minutes and we're knocking out a Premier League team. Focus, believe in yourself, you can do it!"

Chen Ran drove the team members who were still celebrating back to the court, while continuing to give them blood.

On the other side, David O'Reilly's face flushed red.

Fxxxk, it's a disgrace to be scored by Crystal Palace.

He looked down at his watch, there was only 10 minutes left, no more time.

David O'Reilly immediately notified the players on the field to change their formation again, no matter the defense, they all pressed on the offense.

The two full-backs are all on top. As for Ronaldo and Ribery, they do what they like.

So, in the last 10 minutes of the game, Aston Villa staged the final madness.

As a result, Crystal Palace's counterattack was no longer bound.

Ronaldo staged a solo ride and assisted Tony to score the goal that sealed the victory.

Crystal Palace eliminated Premier League team Aston Villa 2-0 away and advanced to the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

Chen Ran earned another 50 euros.
