Chapter 417 undercurrent

  Cristiano Ronaldo strictly implemented Chen Ran’s tactical design, constantly running out of Stuttgart’s penalty area and cooperating with Kaka and others.

   Del Pierre and Tashcher, the two tall guys, naturally couldn’t go out of the penalty area with Ronaldo, and the task of defending Ronaldo could only be done by a guy with a relatively fast speed like Bolla Luz.

After   Bola Luz was taken out of the penalty area by Ronaldo, Ribery and Messi slanted towards Stuttgart’s penalty area from both flanks at the same time.

   These two guys are only about 1.7 meters tall, fast and flexible. Whether it is Del Pierre or Tashcher, they have become wooden stakes in front of Ribery and Messi, completely unable to keep up with the movements of these two guys.

   However, Stuttgart’s two full-backs, Molinaro and Osorio, were not decorations either. Seeing that Ribery and Messi suddenly started, they immediately followed.

   Kaka, who was responsible for organizing the attack, has been observing the situation of Molinaro and Osorio. When he saw Molinaro being left behind by Messi, he immediately shook his ankle and passed the ball to Messi with a pick.

   Stuttgart’s old goalkeeper Lehmann, who used to play for Arsenal for a long time, has a deep understanding of the power of Crystal Palace.

   Seeing that Messi successfully threw off Molinaro’s defense, and Kaka passed the ball over again, he hurriedly called his teammates to come and make up the defense.

   At this time, the central defender Tashcher also found that the situation was not good, and immediately rushed over to try to block Messi and the goal.

   Due to the rush to make up defenses, Tashcher took great strides. Messi flicked the ball lightly and just passed between Tashcher’s legs.

   Immediately afterwards, Messi flexibly bypassed Tashcher. This time, only Stuttgart goalkeeper Lehmann was left in front of him.

   Knowing that he can only rely on himself now, Leiman immediately abandoned the door. Open his hands, try to expand his defensive area, and pounce on Messi.

   Seeing Lehmann attack, Messi didn’t mess at all. With a slight kick of his ankle, the ball drew a wonderful arc and flew into Stuttgart’s net from the top of Lehmann’s head.

  “GOAL!!!”

   With Messi’s lob, Crystal Palace led Stuttgart 1-0 at home.

   On the sidelines, Christian Gross finally realized the power of Chen Ran’s move at this time.

   But like many second-tier teams, Stuttgart has only one lineup that can be played.

  Although it was found that Crystal Palace was staring at the shortcomings of their own defensive players, the ability of Stuttgart’s bench players was too far from the main players on the field.

  Christian Gross hesitated for a long time, but finally did not dare to make a substitution easily.

   In desperation, he could only do the next best thing, and asked the Stuttgart defenders to stop following Ronaldo out of the penalty area and stay in the penalty area to guard their positions.

   Soon, Crystal Palace also found a change in Stuttgart’s tactics.

   When Ronaldo ran out of the penalty area again to cooperate with Kaka, he found that there was no tail behind him.

   Such a good opportunity, Ronaldo will naturally not miss it.

   After receiving the pass from Kaka, he first pulled and dunked the ball, dodged Kuzmanovic who came up to defend, and then lifted his foot to shoot. …

“boom!”

  Cristiano Ronaldo’s shot was so powerful that the ball flew directly to the upper right corner of the Stuttgart goal like a cannonball.

   Seeing Ronaldo kicking the door, goalkeeper Lehmann immediately moved his footsteps, and then jumped towards him.

  Unfortunately, Lehmann is too old to react half a beat slower. Although his fingertips touched the ball, the ball only changed direction slightly and still stubbornly entered the Stuttgart net.

  “GOAL!!!”

   With Ronaldo’s long-range shot, Crystal Palace led Stuttgart 2-0.

   At this moment, Christian Gross was dumbfounded.

   Send someone to follow Ronaldo out of the penalty area, and there will be a neutral space behind, which is easy to be seized by other players from Crystal Palace; but if you don’t follow, Ronaldo will shoot directly.

  Cristian Gross, who was caught in a dilemma, finally gritted his teeth. Anyway, Stuttgart was already two goals behind, and he would lose if he kept defending.

   Instead of this, it is better to go out and fight. Even if there is no way to stage a good show of a big reversal, at least one goal at Crystal Palace’s home court will save some face.

After making up his mind, Christian Gross immediately turned around and called up the left midfielder Hitzelsberg from the bench, and then used him to replace the central defender Del Pierre. Stuttgart’s formation also changed from 532 to 442. .

  Crystal Palace, seeing that Stuttgart took the initiative to attack, just followed Chen Ran’s wishes, and he immediately called Southgate to his side.

   “Gareth, you go now to inform Cesc Fabregas and Pepe to warm up. Use them to replace Kaka and Thiago Silva later.”

   “Let Cesc Fabregas, Mascherano and Beckham form the back three together, and the team’s formation has changed from 4231 to 451. Understand?”

   “Understood, boss.”

   The next game has completely entered the game rhythm that Crystal Palace is used to.

  Although Stuttgart seemed to have the initiative on the field, they were unable to break the goal guarded by Cech.

   Instead, Beckham scored another free kick at the end of the game to help Crystal Palace lock the score at 3:0.

  In the end, while Crystal Palace easily won Stuttgart, Chen Ran also got a “rehabilitation card” from the system.

   After just two days of rest, on October 3, Crystal Palace ushered in the eighth round of the Premier League.

   This time, they will take on Birmingham at the Emirates Stadium.

  Chen Ran once again challenged the starting lineup significantly. In the end, with the goals of Tony and Vidic, Crystal Palace defeated Birmingham 2:1 at home.

  At the same time that he got three points, Chen Ran also got a “Level 1 Health Card” from the system.

   And in other Premier League matches this round, there is also a fascinating conversation.

  Chelsea, who have the same points as Crystal Palace, are sitting at Stamford Bridge to face Liverpool, the runners-up in the league last season.

Everyone thought that this would be another very anxious game, but they did not expect Chelsea to win Liverpool 2-0 without bloodshed, which also greatly disappointed the melon eaters like Chen Ran who wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. .

In addition to these two games, Manchester United beat Sunderland 2:1 at Old Trafford, Manchester City also beat Aston Villa 2:1 away, and Arsenal beat Black 6:2 at home. Book. …

   Among these strong teams, only Liverpool lost, and other strong teams won, which also made the Premier League title competition this season particularly fierce.

   The day after leading Crystal Palace to play against Birmingham, Chen Ran flew to Lisbon, Portugal with Ronaldo and Pepe.

  The last two games of the World Cup qualifying group stage are about to begin, and the results of these two games will directly determine whether Portugal can go to South Africa to participate in the World Cup.

   Unlike Chen Ran, the national team match day is also an opportunity for the coaches of other clubs to take a break.

  Spain, Barcelona, ​​Pere Guardiola mysteriously ran to his brother’s house again.

   “Pere, what’s wrong with you? What happened?”

   Looking at Pere Guardiola who pulled himself to the study as soon as he entered the door, Guardiola asked with a puzzled face.

   Under his leadership, FC Barcelona is still topping the La Liga standings this season, three points ahead of Real Madrid led by second-place Mourinho, which puts Guardiola in a good mood.

   “Hey, Pep, someone approached me and asked if you’re interested in coaching in the Premier League?”

   “Premier League? Which club?” Guardiola asked curiously.

   “Liverpool!”

   “Liverpool? Didn’t Benitez bring it well?”

“Liverpool have not had a very good start to the new season since they finished runners-up in the Premier League last season. Obviously those Qataris are very unhappy with Benitez and want to replace him. Now it seems that they are watching on you.”

   “No interest. Although Liverpool is also an old and strong team, it is far from enough to face Crystal Palace. I don’t want to be laughed at by Southgate and Simeone.”

   Guardiola decisively shook his head and refused. Compete directly with the boss? He doesn’t want to be abused.

   “Pep, don’t rush to refuse first, it’s not too late to make a decision after listening to their conditions.” Pere Guardiola calmly advised.

   “Pere, it seems that the conditions offered by those Qataris are very attractive, don’t they?” Guardiola gave his brother a thoughtful look.

   “Hey, it’s not just tempting, it’s just hard to refuse. Pep, those Qataris have really paid for it this time to invite you to coach in Liverpool.”

   “Oh? What conditions did they impose?”

   This time, Guardiola was also aroused curiosity.

   “Ahem, Pep, about your personal annual salary, the Qataris say that you fill in the numbers yourself, and they will never bargain.”

   “Because Liverpool Club was banned from signing in this summer transfer period, starting from the following winter transfer period, the Qataris promised that you can sign up completely according to your own ideas, with an unlimited transfer budget.”

   “hiss”

  Although he has seen many big scenes with Chen Ran, Guardiola has to admit that this time, he was also surprised by the Qatari’s generosity.

   What does it mean to not treat money as money, he really understood today.

   “Perey, are you sure these news are true?”

   Guardiola couldn’t believe his ears and couldn’t help confirming it again. …

“Haha, Pep, when I first heard the news, my reaction was exactly the same as yours. Don’t worry, I have repeatedly confirmed with Antro Enrique, the current sporting director of Liverpool Club, that this is indeed the condition. .”

   At this moment, Guardiola stopped talking.

   I have to say that under such conditions, ordinary people really can’t bear it, and he is not a saint, so it’s hard not to be tempted.

   Fortunately, Guardiola is not a person who sees money and has reason in his mind.

   “Pere, I have a good momentum in coaching Barcelona now, and I don’t want to give up halfway. Moreover, once I take over the Liverpool club, I have to directly confront the owner’s Crystal Palace club. To be honest, I have no confidence to beat the boss.”

   Seeing such a condition, Guardiola actually wanted to refuse, and Pere Guardiola was a little anxious now.

  After all, when one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

  If Guardiola can be persuaded to take over the Liverpool club, the Qataris promised him a large commission, and will follow the model of Raiola and Mendes by appointing him as a transfer consultant for the Liverpool club.

   As a still unknown football agent, it has always been Pere Guardiola’s goal to be able to participate in or even lead the transfer affairs of a giant club like Mendes and Raiola.

   “Pep, you have already led Barcelona to the La Liga title. If there is any further progress, there is only the Champions League trophy.”

   “But if you want to win the Champions League trophy, you can’t escape the mountain of Crystal Palace Club.”

   “The best way to beat Crystal Palace is to coach a club in the Premier League and gain experience by playing against Crystal Palace constantly.”

   “If you stay at FC Barcelona, ​​you will be able to play against Crystal Palace once or twice a season at most, which is very difficult to achieve the effect of training.”

   I have to say that Pere Guardiola knew his brother very well, and directly spoke to Guardiola’s heart.

   Guardiola played under Chen Ran at the end of his career, and has been with Chen Ran as an assistant coach since his retirement.

   It can be said that Guardiola watched with his own eyes Chen Ran brought Crystal Palace Club from a Championship team to the present day.

   In Guardiola’s heart, Chen Ran is the best coach and his goal to learn and catch up.

   After all, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

   Therefore, Pere Guardiola did not persuade Guardiola in terms of monetary treatment, but provided him with an idea to defeat Crystal Palace Club.

The effect of    was very obvious, and Guardiola was moved.

“Pere, if I leave FC Barcelona now, it will hurt the team too much. You go and tell those Qataris that I will finish this season at FC Barcelona, ​​and if they are willing to invite me to coach Liverpool FC, then I will accept the invitation.”

   “Well, I’ll tell them what you mean.”

   After hesitating for a while, Pere Guardiola finally gave up and continued to persuade. He knew in his heart that this was the best outcome.

  Chen Ran did not know that there was an undercurrent surging against him in the distance between England and Spain. He is now busy leading the Portuguese national team in Lisbon to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers.

   On October 11th, Portugal will play at home against Hungary;

  On October 15th, Portugal will play against Malta at home.

Whether    can go to South Africa depends on these two games.
