Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 70 The same boss, why is the gap so big?

The schedule of the English league is really abnormal. Less than three days after the League Cup match with Aston Villa, Crystal Palace will go to an away game to challenge the No.20 second round of the British Championship opponent Preston.

At this time, the players of Crystal Palace have not recovered from the Aston Villa game, both physically and mentally.

Throughout the entire game against Preston, the players of Crystal Palace were still unable to lift their spirits, and they all looked heavy when they were doing moves.

Even if Chen Ran lost his temper rarely during the intermission, it still didn't have much effect.

No way, Crystal Palace's current lineup is still too thin.

Relying on a team to fight for the entire season, this situation is inevitable.

In the end, Crystal Palace drew 0:0 with Preston, and Preston, who was defended for 90 minutes in the away game, picked up a point.

Fortunately, in the next three rounds of the No. 20 league, Crystal Palace beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at home, stopping the decline in time, which made Chen Ran heave a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, before Chen Ran was happy for two days, the results of the draw for the quarterfinals of the League Cup came out.

Crystal Palace once again drew a Premier League team, and it was a very famous team in the previous life, that is Chelsea, which Abramovich just took over.

In this summer, apart from Chen Ran's Crystal Palace, another team that can steal the limelight from Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool will be Chelsea after Abramovich takes over.

Abramovich was generous when he came up. During this transfer period, Chelsea introduced [-] players in one go, including some famous players.

Crespo, Veron, Joe Cole, Mutu, Duff, Makelele, Bridge, Gremi, Glenn Johnson, Smetin, Marco Ambrosio, Neil Shah Levin, Jurgen Magjo.

Plus Hasselbaink, Gudjohnsen, Lampard, Pettit, Parker, Oliveira, Glenshire, Terry, Gallas, Huth in the original team , Desailly, Melchiot, Cudicini.

Seeing the list of these people, Chen Ran couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

Although Chen Ran knew that these people did not make a leap under the leadership of Ranieri.

However, the current Crystal Palace players are still old and young, and they are far from reaching the height of the future peak.

Meeting Chelsea at this time, frankly speaking, Chen Ran's heart was a little beating.

The only thing Chen Ran can be thankful for now is that Mourinho has not come to this Chelsea team yet.

With Ranieri's ability, there is no way to knead these powerful players together.

In this game, Crystal Palace played at home, but Chen Ran could no longer care about the reaction of the fans.

He intends to implement defensive counterattack tactics from the first minute of the game.

For this reason, he rarely formed a lineup of three midfielders at home.

Left midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo, right midfielder Ribery
DM Yaya Toure, DM Modric, DM Simeone

Left back Chiellini, centre-back Southgate, centre-back Vidic, right-back Maicon
goalkeeper cech
Ranieri also paid a certain amount of attention to Crystal Palace, which was able to eliminate Aston Villa, a Premier League team.

However, he now has a strong army in his hands and is full of confidence.It will not change Chelsea's tactics just because Crystal Palace maintains an unbeaten record in the English Championship.

As for Aston Villa, which was eliminated in the last round, can this relegation team be compared with the current Chelsea?

Ranieri felt that sending the main lineup to face Crystal Palace already paid enough attention to this Championship team.

Forward Crespo, Forward Hasselbaink

Left Midfielder Duff, Central Midfielder Veron, Central Midfielder Lampard, Right Midfielder Glenshire
Left-back Bridge, Center-back Gallas, Center-back John Terry, Right-back Glenn Johnson

Cudicini
"beep"

With the whistle of the referee, Chelsea launched a full-scale attack from the first minute.

Passive, completely passive.

For the Crystal Palace fans at Selhurst Park, this is the first time this season that they have seen their team play so embarrassingly.

Ronaldo and Franck Ribery, who were on the two wings, also completely returned to their own half at this time to help the full-backs defend.

Chen Ran kept shouting from the sidelines, reminding his players to switch positions to defend.

He knew that as long as he overcame Chelsea's onslaught in the first 10 minutes, the opponent would suffer a decline both physically and mentally.

This is caused by objective laws, and no one can avoid it.

By that time, the Crystal Palace players will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, under the command of Southgate and Simeone, Crystal Palace's defense was not messed up.Although Chelsea's offensive was fierce, they did not get an absolute chance to score.

With Petr Cech, it is difficult to break through the goal guarded by him with ordinary shots.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Crystal Palace finally survived without any danger.

The reporters who had been following the Crystal Palace in the stands were extremely excited.

Since they were sent to cover Crystal Palace, this is the first time that Crystal Palace has been so embarrassed in the game.

"Hehe, that Chinese man is probably going to lose this time."

"I think so too. The strength gap between the two sides is too great."

"After Chelsea changed their owners this season, they have made a lot of signings and their strength has greatly increased. Even in the Premier League, they are still among the top few. How can a small Crystal Palace compare?"

"That is, the introduction of thirteen players in one go is equivalent to buying a main lineup."

"Oh, you don't forget, right? That Huaguo also bought a main lineup. Take a look at the current players in Crystal Palace. Are there any old people from last season?"

"Huh? That's right. If you don't tell me, I really forgot. That Huaguo also changed the Crystal Palace."

"However, compared with that Russian guy, this Chinese guy is still too stingy. Look at what he buys? Either veterans who are about to retire, or children who haven't grown their hair yet. The same boss, the difference Why is it so big?"

"That's right. Those people he bought are playing prestige in the British Championship team. When they meet a real strong team, they will immediately soften."

"Hahaha, you guys are really at a loss. That Russian guy is an oil tycoon, how can this Chinese man who doesn't know where he came from be able to compare? Don't forget, the money he buys now is mortgaged by the Crystal Palace club loan."

"Hey, it's their bad luck to have such a poor boss at the Crystal Palace booth."

Standing on the sidelines, Chen Ran didn't know that he had been scolded as a poor ghost.All his energy now is devoted to the game.

Because, he has discovered Chelsea's flaws.
