Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 82 Free Fire Right
That's right, not only Wenger and the reporters found that the physical fitness of the Arsenal players had declined, but also Chen Ran.

Looking at the time, the game will soon reach 70 minutes, and it is almost time to plan to start.

Chen Ran called Fabregas from the bench to warm up, but he didn't change immediately. He wanted to see Wenger's changes before making a decision.

Wenger's action was very straightforward, and soon even changed two people.

Pires was replaced by Reyes and Bergkamp was replaced by Wiltord.

The newly replaced Reyes and Wiltord are also first-class players, not much worse than Pires and Bergkamp.

After receiving the support of the new force, Arsenal's offensive on the field was immediately boosted.The momentum that Crystal Palace was about to rise just now was suppressed again.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ran immediately blocked Fabregas's substitution.

Wait a minute, the Arsenal players haven't run out of energy yet.

After another 10 minutes, Arsenal's offensive weakened again.

Even though Reyes and Wiltord, who had just played, ran very aggressively, the other players couldn't keep up.

So much so that Arsenal's formation was out of line in some places on the field.

Right now, Chen Ran immediately called Cesc Fabregas who was back on the bench again.

"Cesc, after you replace Thiago Silva, let Southgate go back to play central defender. You tell Ronaldo and Ribery that their positions can be properly mentioned, and we will start to counterattack .”

"Got it, boss!"

Fabregas couldn't help being a little excited when he heard Chen Ran blowing the horn to counterattack. The boss handed over the heavy responsibility of attacking to himself.

How much trust is this?

The boss must not be disappointed.

Fabregas swore inwardly.

Wenger has also been watching the movements of the Crystal Palace.

Chen Ran first asked the players to warm up, but then did not make any substitutions.

Until the effect of his substitution here has weakened, the substitution is not made now.

This is the timing of the substitution, which is extremely accurate.

This little guy from Huaguo is indeed a genius as a coach.

No, you can't be compared to the younger generations.

For a while, Wenger was also aroused by Chen Ran to be competitive.

Originally, for the League Cup, Wenger had the same mentality as his players and didn't think much of it.

For Arsenal at its peak, Wenger's goal has always been the Premier League champions and the Champions League champions, and the last time is the FA Cup.

The League Cup is just an enhanced version of the friendly match used to train newcomers.

This time, if Chen Ran hadn't brought up Wenger's interest and wanted to meet the young man from Huaguo earlier, Arsenal would have let go in the semi-finals.

For this reason, Wenger knows that his players have complained about this incident, saying that he is too greedy and will not let go of any trophy.

However, now that they have reached the finals, there is only one option for the champion.

Wenger looked at his watch. There was not much time left. The game must be resolved as soon as possible. The further the delay, the worse it would be for Arsenal.

If it goes into overtime, it's even less cost-effective.

Even if you win the championship in the end, if you consume too much physical energy, it will seriously affect other subsequent games, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Wenger, who decided to end the battle in 90 minutes, immediately replaced Ljungberg on the right with Pennant.

In this way, Arsenal's two full-backs are newly replaced players with sufficient physical fitness.

As a result, Arsenal, who were preparing to play the main force on both sides, and the Crystal Palace, which was preparing to launch a counterattack based on the premise of the formation, happened to collide.

Ronaldo and Pennant, and Ribery and Reyes, went head-to-head as playmakers on both sides split the ball wide.

Even though Ronaldo is far from reaching his peak, it is still not a problem to abuse Pennant.

No matter in terms of body, strength, technology or speed, Ronaldo wins.

On the other side, Ribery is in the opposite situation. Now he is not the opponent of Reyes who is at his peak.

As a result, the audience at the Millennium Stadium saw a wonderful scene.

Both teams hit their left side hard, and then their right side was beaten hard by their opponents.

Now, it depends on who beats whom first.

Before the activity of swinging the sledgehammer was divided into winners and losers, the game was stopped by the referee's whistle.

After 90 minutes the game is ready for extra time.

Chen Ran was very happy, and greeted the Crystal Palace players who were leaving with a smile on his face.

Wenger was a little depressed, frowning for the first time today.

Before the start of overtime, Chen Ran specially called Ribery and Maicon together and told them to strengthen their defense.

Also let Simeone move closer to the right appropriately, and help the right to make up for leaks when necessary.

Finally he called Ronaldo to his side.

"Chris, after the start of overtime, our offense will be on your side. You are free to play, whether to pass the ball to Tony or go it alone, these are up to you. Understand?"

"Boss, are you giving me the right to fire freely?"

Ronaldo's eyes lit up when he heard such a good thing.

"Yes, all for the championship!"

"Don't worry, boss. The champion must be ours!"

Soon, overtime began.

With the help of Simeone, Ribery and Maicon finally withstood the offensive of Reyes and Ashley Cole.

On the other side, with Chiellini doing the pick-and-roll, Pennant and Lauren had nothing to do with Ronaldo.

From this moment on, the balance of victory and defeat gradually tilted towards the Crystal Palace.

When the ball came to Ronaldo's feet again, Pennant and Lauren came up directly to double-team this time.

Ronaldo didn't choose to go overboard this time, but knocked the ball back and passed it back to Chiellini behind him, but he turned around and ran forward.

Chiellini received the ball without stopping, and directly picked a pass.The ball went over the heads of Pennant and Lauren, and returned to Ronaldo's feet.

Throwing away the dumbfounded Pennant and Lauren, Ronaldo didn't go sideways anymore, but went straight to Arsenal's penalty area.

At this time, Vieira, who saw that the situation was not good, hurried over to make up for the defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not entangle with Vieira. He rushed the ball directly to Tony, who was leaning against Campbell in the penalty area, and he bypassed Vieira and continued to rush forward. .

Tony desperately carried the Black Iron Tower Campbell behind him, and then returned the ball to Ronaldo who continued to advance.

At this time, another Arsenal central defender, Kolo Toure, had not had time to make up for it. Vieira behind him was still desperately chasing, and Campbell was also entangled by Tony.

In front of Ronaldo, only the goalkeeper Lehmann and the goal are left.

Although the angle is a bit small, but whatever.

The boss said, I now have the right to fire freely.
