Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 24 Training Ronaldo

   Special meow, these **** are digging a hole for Lao Tzu again.

   is really not a son of man!

   When Chen Ran saw these news, the joy of winning the first victory in his coaching career was immediately diluted.

   I don't know how the three big bosses will react?

   Forget it, anyway, Crystal Palace is still in the British Championship and will not face the three giants for the time being.

   It will be at least a year later when Crystal Palace rushes to the Premier League. At that time, if you want money and money, you want people and people, you will be full of wings, and you will not be afraid of anyone.

After    made up his mind, Chen Ran ignored the provocations of the sinister media and devoted himself to polishing his team.

   Soon, Chen Ran arranged several warm-up games one after another. Although they were all low-level teams, Crystal Palace all ended in victory.

   All of a sudden, many media who looked down on the old man made a 180-degree turn and started to praise him one by one.

   This made Chen Ran immediately alert, and then he called Guardiola, Simeone and Southgate together.

   "Have you read all the media reports about us recently?"

   "Look, boss, they all say you're a talented coach."

   "That's right. We also said that our defensive counterattacks are very sharp, and there is no team in the Championship that can defend against it."

   "Yeah, many people say that we Crystal Palace will definitely be promoted to the Premier League this season."

   Looking at the three guys in front of them, Chen Ran couldn't help shaking his head.

   It seems that the winning streak in this wave of warm-up games, coupled with the touts of the media, made them a little floating.

   Where is this going? It's on top?

  No, they must be given a basin of cold water.

   "Okay, just listen to what the media said, don't take it seriously."

   "Also, after a lot of reports from them, we Crystal Palace have now become a living target. Other Championship teams must be studying our tactical play, we must be prepared."

  The entire office suddenly fell into silence, Chen Ran's words were greatly unexpected by the three of them.

  Fortunately, none of the three of them were scumbags. As soon as Chen Ran mentioned it, they immediately realized that the current atmosphere of public opinion was indeed a bit wrong.

   Looking at the excessively young face of the boss in front of them, the three of them could not help but sigh in their hearts:

   So calm, so calm, who is the older person?

   "Boss, you are right, we were a little too optimistic before."

   "Yes, boss, don't worry, we will stay focused."

   "Boss, do you already have a countermeasure?"

   Looking at the three people's sincere attitude of admitting their mistakes, Chen Ran nodded, and the performance was not bad.

   After all, they are all veterans in their thirties, so it’s clear at one point.

"Our defensive counter-attack style has taken shape, and it performed quite well in actual combat. But because of these warm-up games, this tactic has been exposed. When our opponents play against us in the future, they will definitely be targeted. layout."

"So, starting from today, start practicing Gareth's tactics in training. This set of tactics pays attention to the balance of offense and defense, and pays attention to attacking from the side. After practicing, we can surprise the opponent and let them prepare all the way. Failed."

   "Boss, you are too smart (insidious)."

   "Stop flattering and go to work."

   Southgate's tactic is a typical British 442 play, which is very common in English football, so most players have no problem adapting.

   In the lineup arrangement, the biggest difference from the previous one is that Modric, who was the attacking midfielder, was abandoned, and another striker, Crouch and Tony, was sent to form the twin towers.

  Then two flankers Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery made a breakthrough and kept bombing the opponent's goal.

  Unfortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo may have performed well in the warm-up match before. He was terrific and scored many goals, so he prefers to shoot straight into the penalty area after breaking through.

   This situation was discovered not only by Chen Ran, but also by Guardiola, Simeone and Southgate.

   The three of them pointed out this problem to Ronaldo during training, but Ronaldo still went his own way, and it seemed to have no effect.

  Chen Ran knew very well that in the early days of Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival at Manchester United in his previous life, he was only thinking about dribbling the ball and making breakthroughs, and was criticized by many people for this.

   But for an 18-year-old boy who is rebellious, you can't correct him in a blunt tone of command, which is likely to have the opposite effect.

  So, when Guardiola and the three of them found Chen Ran to respond to this problem together, Chen Ran laughed.

   "I'll just ask you a question, when you were 18, you liked to hear people say: 'You're wrong, you have to do that'?"

   "Eh, I don't seem to like it very much."

   The three looked at each other and immediately understood what Chen Ran meant.

   "Okay, let me handle this matter. However, it may take a while, and sometimes he thinks about it himself, maybe it's better."

   "Got it, boss."

   After training the next day, Chen Ran left Ronaldo alone.

   "Ronaldo, do you know why I'm looking for you today?"

  Chen Ran didn't take Ronaldo back to his office, it was too formal, and the two of them just casually strolled along the lawn of the base.

   "Probably know, because I don't want to pass the ball?"

  Cristiano Ronaldo looked at Chen Ran stubbornly, the three old guys must have sued me.

   "Haha, then you guessed wrong. I'm looking for you today just to tell you some good news, do you want to know?"

   "What good news?"

  C Luo was taken aback, this is completely different from what he imagined.

"Yes, I heard that you like sports cars, so I have a gift for you. As long as Crystal Palace can reach the Premier League this season, and your personal assist number reaches 10. Then after the season, I will give you one. How about a Porsche 911?"

   "Really? Boss, is what you said true?"

  C Luo immediately cried out excitedly.

  The transfer to Crystal Palace is his first big contract, with an annual salary of 2 million euros. But this money is not given to him all at once, but distributed monthly.

   So, a Porsche 911 is really not a small amount of money for the current Cristiano Ronaldo.

   How many men don't like sports cars?

   Even if he was only 18 years old.

   Now hearing Chen Ran say that he is willing to give him a Porsche 911 as a gift, Cristiano Ronaldo almost exploded with excitement. A military order was issued on the spot, for fear that Chen Ran would go back on it.

   "Boss, don't worry. I will definitely help Crystal Palace advance to the Premier League, and I will definitely send more than 10 assists."

   "Okay, I look forward to the day I hand you the car keys."

   Looking at Ronaldo's figure leaving happily, Chen Ran smiled slightly.

   It's pretty easy to train Ronaldo.
