Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 207 I'll try this guy again

  It turned out that when Tom Hicks and George Gillette were discussing the acquisition of Crystal Palace.

  Alves on the right of Crystal Palace dribbled the ball along the touchline and passed the ball into the penalty area of ​​Inter Milan.

   However, because Favalli blocked in front and Stankovic was chasing after him, Alves' pass was not so precise.

   Jan Kohler, who flanked at the front, couldn't touch the ball at all, and Tony couldn't shoot directly in the middle.

  Because the ball passed behind Toni, Toni could only turn his back to Inter Milan's goal, reluctantly stopped the ball with his chest first, and then hooked the ball to the left with his foot before Samuel broke it.

   At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left is in charge of outflanking the back point according to Chen Ran's usual tactical arrangement.

   Tony passed the ball over and landed right in front of Ronaldo.

   Without waiting for the ball to land, Ronaldo just volleyed.

   Zanetti, who had already jumped to the ground to block the hole, did a disservice. His hole was not completely blocked. The ball rubbed against Zanetti's outstretched foot and changed direction, but it still flew to Inter Milan's goal.

   This caught Toldo, who had already moved in place and was about to save Cristiano Ronaldo’s shot, off guard. It was too late to turn around and save the ball. In the end, Toldo could only watch the ball fly into Inter Milan’s net.

   "GOAL!"

  Crystal Palace leads Inter Milan 1:0.

   "Boss, shall we continue to attack or shrink the defense?"

   After celebrating, Guardiola approached Chen Ran and asked.

   "Continue to attack. Taking advantage of our home advantage and scoring a few more goals, it's best to eliminate the suspense of promotion in the first game, so that we can play better away games later."

   "Then boss, how many goals is your goal?"

   "Of course, the more the better. It's better if you can hit 4:0 or more, then it's perfect."

   Hearing Chen Ran's goal, Guardiola couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart. Are you treating Inter Milan as a weak team?

   On the Inter Milan side, Mancini did not fail to find that Crystal Palace aimed the main offensive force at his two full-backs.

   However, as a young coach, he lacks prestige in the team, and often relies on the help of these veterans to manage the team well.

   It is still the first half of the game. If Zanetti and Favali are replaced now, wouldn’t it be a direct hit in the face?

   Especially Zanetti, who is a veteran player and captain who has played for Inter Milan for many years, and his qualifications are much deeper than his Mancini.

  Mancini still wanted to continue coaching in the giant club Inter Milan, but after hesitating for a long time, he still did not dare to do so, just let the two fullbacks retreat to help the defense.

   However, now Crystal Palace have taken the lead. This makes Mancini feel that he must make adjustments, otherwise Inter Milan may have to concede more goals in this game.

   So he called the Cameroon international, left-back Worm, from the bench.

   After a simple warm-up, Mancini replaced Favalli with Worm.

  Yes, Mancini still did not dare to move Zanetti's position.

   As soon as the young, strong and fast Worm came on the field, Alves on the right side of Crystal Palace was immediately deflated.

  During an attack, Alves wanted the speed to beat the new guy.

   As a result, after Worm started running, his speed was not lost to Alves.

   And with his stronger body, he just pushed Alves out of the touchline. Not only did he not commit a foul, he also grabbed the ball at his feet.

   "Boss, Inter Milan's new left-back doesn't look easy to deal with."

   After watching the fight between Alves and Worm several times, Guardiola immediately came to Chen Ran and reminded him.

   Inter Milan's changes are naturally seen in Chen Ran's eyes.

   Just in the memory of the senior fans in his previous life, he has no impression of this Worm.

   That can only show one point, that is, this Worm did not play in Inter Milan, and even did not have any impressive performance in his entire career.

   Judging from the current performance on the field, Worm's physical fitness is definitely not a problem.

   With his physical quality, coupled with the fact that the Inter Milan fullback is too old and in urgent need of replacement.

  Wom actually failed to play in Inter Milan?

   It seems that this Worm must be fatally flawed in other ways.

   "Don't jump to conclusions, wait until I try this guy's quality."

  Chen Ran turned around and said something to Guardiola, then walked to the sidelines, and took advantage of the dead ball to call Vieira over.

   "Patrick, then you pass a few more **** to Alves on the right, and let him try the new left-back of Inter Milan."

   "Understood, boss."

   After receiving Chen Ran's order, Vieira passed five consecutive **** to Alves on the right.

   The first four of them were perfectly guarded by Worm.

   Just when Alves himself was a little discouraged, something magical happened.

  When Alves wanted to break through with the ball for the fifth time, but was intercepted by Worm.

  Worm may have felt like he had eaten the Crystal Palace right midfielder to death, passing the ball back to goalkeeper Toldo a bit casually.

  However, Worm's return pass is a bit light.

  The astute Alves rushed up immediately and stabbed the ball before Toldo attacked and destroyed it.

   Then, Toldo, who had found that the situation was not good, did not touch the ball, but threw Alves.

   "Beep!"

   The referee's whistle sounded timely and resolutely.

Is    a penalty kick?

  Is there a red card?

   At this moment, not only Chen Ran and Mancini standing on the sidelines, but everyone in the entire Highbury Stadium focused their attention on the referee on duty.

   Soon, the referee who ran to the scene of the incident first pointed his hand to the penalty spot, and then showed Toldo a red card.

   "Haha, boss, you are right again, the left-back of Inter Milan really has a problem."

   Seeing that Toldo ate the red dot set meal, excited Guardiola grabbed Chen Ran's arm and shook it.

   Chen Ran's instructions to Vieira just now were all heard by Guardiola.

   At that time, Guardiola was still a little disapproving, thinking that Chen Ran was not doing this.

  Since the new left-back from Inter Milan is strong, then the main attack direction of Crystal Palace should be placed on Ronaldo’s side.

   Unexpectedly, Chen Ran's test result came so quickly, so surprising.

   "Boss, tell me, how did you find out that there is something wrong with this left-back of Inter Milan?"

   Unable to hold back his intense curiosity, Guardiola couldn't wait to ask.

   "It's very simple. If this Worm is really strong, then the head coach of Inter Milan will not use the 34-year-old veteran Favalli as the starting left-back as long as he is not a fool."

   "That makes sense!"

   Guardiola slapped his forehead, such a simple truth, why didn't he think of it just now?

   At this time, the referee dispersed the Inter Milan players who wanted to explain what he wanted to explain, and kept his previous penalty unchanged.

   And on the bench of Inter Milan, Mancini was busy with the backup goalkeeper Giulio Cesar replaced the attacking midfielder Veron.

   In fact, what Mancini wants to replace now is Worm, but obviously the situation on the field does not allow him to do so.

  Crystal Palace took the penalty kick by midfielder Vieira, because Chen Ran felt that there are not many players in the Crystal Palace team who have seen big scenes, and Vieira is the most suitable candidate.

   Run, shot, Vieira took the penalty to the upper right corner of Inter Milan's goal, and Julio Cesar made a mistake and jumped to the left, and the ball went into the net.

   "GOAL!"

  Crystal Palace leads Inter Milan 2:0.

   "Hoo!"

   It seems that the game has been decided.

   Seeing Vieira scoring the second goal, Chen Ran felt reassured.

   Inter Milan, which lacks one person, is obviously impossible to come back.

   "Boss, do we continue to attack?"

   Guardiola now finally believes that Chen Ran's 4-0 win against Inter Milan is possible.

   At this moment, Chen Ran seemed to have another mysterious halo in his eyes.

  How can the boss judge so accurately every time?

   Is there any trick here?

   Is this the secret to being a successful coach?

   It seems that I still need to study with the boss for a while, and try to learn the secret of the boss's success.

   "Of course. Now that Inter Milan has one less person on the field, it is a good opportunity for us to chase after the victory."

  Chen Ran returned to the question of Guardiola, while thinking in his heart that if there is a big victory today, then when he goes to Milan in the second round, he will have room for rotation.

   Not long after, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half of the game.

   Intermission, Crystal Palace dressing room.

   Looking at the Crystal Palace players who were soaked all over but in a good mood, Chen Ran clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.

   "Guys, you scored two goals in the first half and did a great job."

   "Inter Milan has one less player now, this is a good chance for us to qualify for the Champions League final."

   "I hope that you can score at least two more goals in the second half of the game. In this way, the score of 4:0 will make it a lot easier when we go to Milan to play the second round."

   "My hope, can you do it?"

"can!"

   "Don't worry, boss. We now have an advantage in numbers, and it's not a problem to get two more."

   "Haha, that is, boss, just wait for our good news."

   "Kill Inter Milan!"

   "To advance to the Champions League final!"

   Inter Milan's side, after being sent off, Mancini no longer expects to win at Crystal Palace's home court.

   He now only hopes that the 2-0 score gap will not widen. Of course, it would be better if he can get an away goal.

   To this end, Mancini replaced center Adriano with Martins, who was fast and had a more prominent counterattack at halftime.

   And this change of Inter Milan, with the start of the second half of the game, naturally fell into the eyes of Chen Ran and the others.

   "Boss, Inter Milan is trying to play a defensive counterattack. The newly replaced Martins is very fast. Our defenders still need to be more careful."

   As the head of the video editing of the Inter Milan match, Guardiola was very impressed by Martins' speed.

   "Makes sense."

   Chen Ran is no stranger to Martins.

   In a previous life, after Martins got older, he also played in China for a period of time in the league.

   Even then, Martins was still a good counter-attacker, not to mention that he is still under 22 years old and his speed is at his peak.

  Chen Ran looked at the Crystal Palace defenders on the field, except Maicon, almost all of them were tall and tall. It would be very difficult to defend against Martins who was running around like a ground rat.

   "Josep, tell Thiago Silva and Evra to warm up and replace Southgate and Chiellini."

   "What? Boss, do you want to replace Gareth?"

   "Nonsense, Gareth is thirty-six years old this year. With his current speed, can he keep up with that Martins?"

   "Uh, that's right."

   "Then why don't you hurry up and prepare for substitutions? If something goes wrong, it will be too late."

"clear."

   Just when Thiago Silva and Evra went to warm up, Martins really caused a lot of trouble for Crystal Palace's backline.

   Inter Milan's current tactics are very simple. Once they get the ball, they will look for Martins in front of them as soon as possible.

   They don't play any pass-and-cut cooperation anymore. One by one, they just open their big feet directly, which is simple and rude but effective.

   As Chen Ran expected, Martins was running around like a ground mouse. In addition to Maicon, no one in Crystal Palace can keep up with his speed.

   And Maicon is also responsible for his defense on the right, it is impossible to chase Martins everywhere.

  So Martins deliberately avoided Crystal Palace's right flank after fighting with Maicon several times and found that he couldn't take advantage of it, and specifically stared at the defense areas of Southgate and Chiellini and others to attack.

   Fortunately, Chen Ran's adjustment was timely enough. Not long after Martins found the weakness of Crystal Palace, and before he posed a real threat to the goal guarded by Cech, he suddenly found that the opponent in front of him had made a substitution.

  Although Thiago Silva's speed still can't be compared with Martins, but compared to Southgate, who is 36 years old, it is simply a bicycle turned into a motorcycle.

   In addition, with the help of Evra, who is also a fast horse on the side, the loopholes in the left half of Crystal Palace's defense were immediately patched.

   This time, Martins can't be as comfortable as before, coming and going as freely.

Once   Martins was contained, Inter Milan's counterattack could not be fought, and Crystal Palace's offensive wave after wave continued to impact the goal guarded by Julio Cesar.

   In the 63rd minute, Jan Kohler received a cross from Ronaldo and beat Materazzi to score a header;

   In the 82nd minute, Mascherano, who came on as a substitute, took a long shot from outside the penalty area and once again broke the goal guarded by Julio Cesar.
