Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 75
"boom!"

Chen Ran slapped the boss's desk in front of him heavily. These reporters who eat people and don't do anything about human affairs made him very angry.

Losing a game means that he is going to die?

What an inappropriate son of man!

Therefore, in the next No.20 seven rounds and No.20 eight rounds of the English Championship, Chen Ran turned his anger into motivation and led Crystal Palace to beat Burnley and Watford 4:0 and 5:1 respectively. , let out a bad breath, and received a bonus of 200 million euros by the way.

Then, Crystal Palace ushered in the first round of the League Cup semi-final.

Among the current League Cup semi-finals, only Crystal Palace is the English Championship team. The other Arsenal, Middlesbrough and Bolton are all Premier League teams.

The League Cup became a two-round competition system in the semi-finals. Crystal Palace was lucky this time and did not meet the strongest Arsenal.

Chen Ran's opponent this time is Bolton led by Allardyce.

Speaking of Allardyce, that is also the old world of the Premier League.

Although the coaches are all mid-lower teams, they have not won any championships.

But it is not easy to be able to coach on the front line in the fiercely competitive Premier League.

What's more, it's now the semi-finals, every game is a tough battle, Chen Ran dare not be sloppy in the slightest.

At the pre-match preparation meeting, Chen Ran deliberately called Southgate and Simeone together.

"Gareth, I'll let Vidic mark Bolton striker Kevin Davies, you provide him with protection."

"No problem, boss."

"Diego, I will let Yaya Toure to mark Okocha, the core midfielder of Bolton. But he is still young and inexperienced. If Yaya Toure is passed by Okocha, you have to make up the defense in time, Understand?"

"understand!"

Crystal Palace played the away game first, and Chen Ran naturally sent out a defensive counterattack lineup.

With the whistle of the referee, the first round of the League Cup semi-final, Crystal Palace challenged away
Bolton's game officially started.

Crystal Palace's players now face Bolton
When attacking, it is obviously much easier.

Bolton attacked for 10 minutes with all his strength, but he didn't even complete a threatening shot.

When Chen Ran saw this situation, he immediately felt confident, and stood on the sidelines to watch the game with confidence.

This Bolton is about the same level as Aston Villa.

Chen Ran had already made up his mind, to defend the first half first, to consume the energy of the Bolton players.Then wait until the second half to change the attack, and come up with a late strike.

On the other side of Bolton's bench, Allardyce couldn't sit still.

He has watched Crystal Palace's previous games against Aston Villa and Chelsea, and he knows that this team's defense is very tenacious, and the counterattack is also very strong, which is difficult to deal with.

But when he now plays against Crystal Palace himself, Allardyce discovered that the situation was more serious than he thought.

Bolton couldn't penetrate the Crystal Palace defense at all.

Okocha, the core of the midfield, was a little bit annoyed by Yaya Toure, a black brother who also came from Africa.

No way, Okocha is 30 years old this year, and his physical function has declined severely.The situation of African players is well understood.

Fighting with Yaya Toure, who was just 20 years old, Okocha suffered a lot.

Even though he passed Yaya Toure with his skillful little technique, another midfielder Simeone rushed up immediately, which left Okocha with no chance to organize the attack.

The two wingers, Flandersen and Yanakopoulos, were also guarded by Chiellini and Maicon of Crystal Palace.

Under the interference of Chiellini and Maicon, none of the crosses were reliable, either with too much power or too little power.

And the striker Kevin Davis, who was in the penalty area of ​​the Crystal Palace, was also stared at by the defender Vidic of the Crystal Palace.

Regardless of height or strength, Vidic has stabilized Kevin Davis.

That is to say, in terms of flexibility, Kevin Davis can take advantage.

However, another Crystal Palace centre-back Southgate was always nearby.

As soon as Kevin Davis used his flexible running position to shake off Vidic and pull out the gap to catch the ball, he was immediately blocked by Southgate who came up to defend.

As a result, Bolton finally passed the ball from the wing, all of which were destroyed by Crystal Palace's defender coefficient.

So much so that Kevin Davis hasn't even gotten a shot.

Bolton's only two shots now are all long-range shots from outside the penalty area.

For Cech's Crystal Palace goal, there is no threat at all.

This time, Bolton's usual offensive methods and the housekeeping skills they used to settle down in the Premier League all failed.

Can Allardyce be in a hurry?

But what can be done?

Allardyce looked back at the bench. Except for the 35-year-old French veteran Djorkaeff, he really didn't have much confidence in the abilities of others.

Glancing down at his watch, Allardyce shook his head.

It's only the first half, and if Djorkaeff is replaced now, his physical fitness will not last the end of the game.

Forget it, just wait.

Therefore, both Chen Ran and Allardyce put the change time in the second half.

The first half of the game ended without any surprise.

At the beginning of the second half, Allardyce replaced Yanakopoulos with Djorkaeff.

Chen Ran, who was standing on the sidelines, saw the substitution and immediately understood that Allardyce was going to initiate the general election.

attacked.

However, Allardyce replaced Yanakopoulos with Djorkaeff, which is to let Djoka
Husband went to play right midfielder, which happened to be Ronaldo's side.

Chen Ran has been a bit addicted since the last time he used Ronaldo to defend Joe Cole with great success.

As the old saying goes: Use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son.

Chen Ran likes to attack spears with spears.

No matter in terms of body or speed, Ronaldo has an absolute advantage over Djorkaeff.

Since Djorkaeff was arranged by Allardyce to play as a full-back, he must have shouldered certain defensive tasks.

Attack against attack, use Ronaldo to drag Djorkaf down and make Allardyce's substitution invalid.

Yes, just do it.

After making up his mind, Chen Ran immediately turned around and called the players on the bench to warm up.

The decisive battle is about to start.
