Chapter 418 How to do

   Compared with Malta, Hungary is much stronger, and Hungary is also one of Portugal’s competitors for qualifying.

  Chen Ran’s goal is very simple, to win Hungary like he did against Denmark in the last game, and grab the initiative to compete for the place.

   Hungary’s head coach is also very pragmatic. This time they came to face Portugal and started to set up the bus directly at the beginning of the game.

   On the other hand, Portugal did not have a strong center forward, so Chen Ran had to let Ronaldo copy his previous tactics in Crystal Palace, constantly going in and out of Hungary’s penalty area, trying to pull out of neutral.

  Unfortunately, Ronaldo is still the same Ronaldo, but his teammates are no longer the top players of Crystal Palace.

   Seeing that he was unable to break Hungary’s goal for a long time, Chen Ran had no choice but to use another “first-level chicken blood card” for Deco.

   In the end, with a long-range shot from Deco near the end, Portugal had a difficult 1-0 victory over Hungary.

   In another game in this group, Denmark beat Sweden 1-0 at home.

   After this round of games is over, with the last round left in the group stage, Denmark ranks first in the group with 20 points, followed by Portugal with 18 points.

   In this way, whether Portugal can directly get tickets for the World Cup in South Africa, the initiative is not in its own hands.

   In the last game, Portugal not only has to win against Malta, but also depends on the result of Denmark’s game against Hungary.

  According to the rules of the European preliminaries, unless Hungary beats Denmark, Portugal can only participate in the play-offs as the second place in the group.

  There is no way, although Chen Ran has achieved a complete victory after taking over Portugal, but because Queiroz dug too deep a hole before, they can only look at other people’s faces now.

   On October 15th, the final round of the European group stage of the World Preliminary Tournament started at the same time.

  At the request of Chen Ran’s full-scale attack, Portugal beat Malta 4-0 at home with Ronaldo’s hat-trick and Meireles’ long-range shot.

   On the other side, Denmark drew 1:1 with Hungary at home.

   As a result, Denmark and Portugal have a combined 21 points and have won one game each in a head-to-head match between the two teams.

   However, Portugal lost 1:3 to Denmark at home when Queiroz was in charge.

   After Chen Ran took over, Portugal beat Denmark 2-0 away.

  In the end, Denmark ranked first in Group A with the advantage of more away goals, and got a ticket to directly qualify for the World Cup in South Africa.

   Portugal, who was in second place, could only be forced to participate in the play-offs.

   Chen Ran didn’t have time to think about the play-offs at this time. After the game against Malta, he immediately rushed back to London with Ronaldo and Pepe.

  Because in two days, Crystal Palace’s new phase of the Devil’s schedule will start again.

  On October 18th, in the ninth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Blackburn;

   On October 21st, in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Juventus, the strongest opponent in this group;

  On October 24th, the tenth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will take on Wigan Athletic at the Emirates Stadium this time;

  …

  On October 28th, in the fourth round of the English League Cup, Crystal Palace will face the old rival Manchester United at home again;

  On October 31st, in the eleventh round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Hull City at home;

  On November 4th, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Crystal Palace will sit at the Emirates Stadium to meet the challenge of Juventus;

  On November 7th, in the twelfth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Manchester City.

   Seven games in twenty days, with an average of less than one game in three days.

   And there are two more games against Juventus, one against Manchester United and one against Manchester City.

   Even Chen Ran, who was used to the devil’s schedule, felt his scalp tingle when he saw the schedule.

   On October 18th, in the ninth round of the Premier League, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace to an away game against Blackburn.

   Since the Champions League game away to Juventus will be played two days later, Chen Ran sent a half-main half-substitute starting lineup in this game.

   Facing the defending champion Crystal Palace, Blackburn, as expected, set up a bus.

   The Crystal Palace, who only played part of the main force, lacked the ability to attack, and the game was very difficult.

   In the end, with Beckham’s free kick, Crystal Palace barely beat Blackburn with a score of 1:0.

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

   In other matches in the Premier League this round, Chelsea beat Aston Villa 2:1 away, Manchester United beat Bolton 2:1 at Old Trafford.

  Arsenal beat Birmingham 3:1 at home, Manchester City drew 1:1 away by Wigan Athletic, and Liverpool lost 0:1 to Sunderland.

   In the championship group, Liverpool have begun to show signs of falling behind.

   After the game against Blackburn, Chen Ran immediately led the Crystal Palace team to Turin, Italy.

   After several years of recuperation, Juventus has gradually gotten rid of the influence of the “Italian phone door” incident, and its strength is steadily recovering.

  The current head coach of Juventus is the former Italy international Ferrara, who was previously the assistant coach of Lippi in the Italian national team and just took over the Juventus club this summer.

   In the face of Crystal Palace, the defending champion of the Champions League, Ferrara still lined up Juventus’ usual starting lineup, and he did not set the bus with his backbone.

   Center Trezeguet

   Left midfielder Salihamidzic, midfielder Diego, right midfielder Camoranesi

   Midfielder Sissoko, midfielder Marchionne

  Left-back Grosso, center-back Lai Lottalie, center-back Cannavaro, right-back Caceres

   Goalkeeper Buffon

   On the Crystal Palace side, for the tough battle against Juventus away from home, Chen Ran should have dispatched the entire main lineup.

   Center Tony

   Left midfielder Ronaldo, midfielder Kaka, right midfielder Messi

   Midfielder Yaya Toure, Midfielder Modric

  Left-back Chiellini, center-back Thiago Silva, center-back Vidic, right-back Maicon

   Goalkeeper Cech

  Although it is an away game, Crystal Palace’s tactics are not conservative. At the request of Chen Ran, Crystal Palace pressed the attack from the first minute.

   Juventus did not show weakness, and the two teams fought fiercely in the midfield.

  …

   In the first 30 minutes, Juventus, who was full of energy, did not lose in the slightest.

   But after 30 minutes, Juventus’ two full-backs, 33-year-old Kamoranesi and 32-year-old Salihamidzic, were a little overwhelmed.

   Chen Ran, who was sitting on the bench, saw this sign very keenly, and he immediately called Southgate to his side.

“Gareth, you go tell Modric and Kaka to score two more flanks next. Juventus’ two full-backs Kamoranesi and Salihamidzic are older, Physical fitness is a bit out of step now.”

   “Got it, boss.”

   Soon, Chen Ran’s latest instructions reached Modric’s ears.

   With a slight flick of the ankle of Modric, who has always been obedient to the boss, the ball immediately flew to the feet of Ronaldo on the left.

   At this time, Juventus’ right midfielder Camoranesi had no way to return to the defense as aggressively as he had just started, and right back Cáceres had no choice but to face Ronaldo’s attack alone.

   Ronaldo didn’t play any tricks this time. After receiving a pass from Modric, he directly moved the ball forward and competed with Caceres in a simple and rude speed competition.

   Seeing Ronaldo’s action, Cáceres quickly turned around and accelerated.

  But Ronaldo forced overtake directly from the outside line and got the ball one step ahead.

   Immediately afterwards, Cristiano Ronaldo played another trick that he was best at knocking the ball with his heel. Caceres, who was desperately chasing back, didn’t have time to brake and slipped directly to the ground.

   And Ronaldo got rid of Caceres and successfully switched the ball to the inside.

   found that the defense on the right had a neutral position, and the midfielder Marchionne hurried over to make up the defense.

  Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t entangle with Marchionnido, and passed the ball directly to Kaka in the middle. Then he didn’t stop, but continued to rush towards Juventus’ penalty area.

   As a teammate who has cooperated with him for several years, Kaka immediately understood the actions of Ronaldo.

   He first pulled and dunked the ball, dodging Sissoko who rushed over to steal the ball. Then, with a slight shake of his ankle, he passed the ball to Ronaldo who was advancing at a high speed.

   At this time, Juventus’ central defender Cannavaro also found out their intention to play two-over-one and hurried over to destroy the ball before Ronaldo.

  But Cannavaro underestimated Ronaldo’s speed. When he reached out and tried to kick the ball out of the touchline, Ronaldo had already stabbed the ball out first.

   And Cannavaro’s foot was a step slower, and he didn’t kick the ball, but kicked it abruptly into Ronaldo’s leg.

“what!”

  C Luo screamed and fell to the ground.

“All!”

   The referee’s whistle also sounded, and he pointed his hand to the penalty spot very decisively.

   Just as the Juventus players were trying to explain around the referee, they saw that the referee had already awarded a penalty, and Ronaldo, who had just fallen to the ground and screamed, stopped screaming.

  Cannavaro kicked his shin plate, although it hurt a little, but it was not a big problem.

   After struggling for a while, the referee finally maintained the penalty kick.

  C Ronaldo picked up the ball and walked towards the penalty spot. Seeing that Ronaldo took the penalty kick, Juventus’ home court was immediately booed.

  …

   Ronaldo was unmoved. After carefully placing the ball, he took a few steps back, stood still, glanced at the Juventus goal, took a deep breath, and started running.

“boom!”

   This shot Ronaldo chose to hit the upper right corner. Although Buffon is the world’s top goalkeeper, the penalty kick is too lucky.

  Buffon completely misjudged the direction and could only helplessly get up and pick up the ball from the goal.

  “goal!

  ”

   With Ronaldo’s penalty kick, Crystal Palace led Juventus 1-0 away.

   One goal behind, Ferrara did not panic, he just called Salihamidzic and Kamoranesi to the sidelines while the Crystal Palace players were celebrating.

   Soon, when the game restarted, Chen Ran found that the positions of Salihamidzic and Kamoranesi were obviously retreating.

   Obviously, Ferrara did not intend to make substitutions in the first half of the game, so he asked Salihamidzic and Kamoranesi to give up offense and use their limited physical fitness on defense.

   In this way, although Juventus’ offense was greatly affected, correspondingly, until the end of the first half, Crystal Palace failed to score again.

   At half-time, because Crystal Palace took the lead early, Chen Ran did not make any substitution adjustments except to beat the players as usual.

On the Juventus side, Ferrara replaced Camoranesi with Melo, changed Marchionne to the right, let Melo as the midfielder, and then replaced Salihami with Giovinco Kic goes to play left midfielder.

   At the beginning of the second half, Chen Ran found that Juventus had made up for the loopholes in the first half.

   However, because Crystal Palace has now taken the lead, Chen Ran is not in a hurry to score more goals.

   Instead, he asked Crystal Palace’s players to slow down their attacking tempo and play steadily.

   After all, it’s only a group stage, as long as you win, the number of away goals is not that important.

  Chen Ran was in no hurry, but Ferrara couldn’t hold back.

   Ten minutes into the second half, he noticed that Crystal Palace seemed to be deliberately slowing down the game.

   This is the home of Juventus. Ferrara is coaching a giant team to play the Champions League for the first time. He does not want to lose at his home.

   So, he called the Italian international Iaquinta from the bench again. After a simple warm-up, he replaced the French veteran Trezeguet with Iaquinta.

   “Boss, Juventus is going to launch a general attack, what should we do now?”

   Seeing that Ferrara had used up all the substitutions so quickly, Southgate immediately got close to Chen Ran.

   “Gareth, you go to inform Ribery and Mascherano to warm up now, and use them to replace Tony and Modric later.”

   “Let Ronaldo play the center, Ribery replaces him as the left midfielder, Mascherano and Yaya Toure are the double midfielders, and the formation remains the same.”

   “You tell Ronaldo to use the previous tactics, go out of the penalty area to cooperate with his teammates, and pull Juventus’ defense.”

   “As long as the opponent’s central defender is taken out of the penalty area by Ronaldo, let Messi and Ribery wait for the opportunity to move forward, and then let Kaka be responsible for the neutral pass.”

   “Okay, boss.”

   Soon, just after Juventus replaced Iaquinta, Crystal Palace also made a substitution adjustment.

   Seeing this scene, Ferrara couldn’t help frowning.

   He carefully studied the videos of Crystal Palace’s recent games before the game. Chen Ran replaced Tony this time, obviously to let that Ronaldo play the center.

   This trick was used by the Chinese when they played against Stuttgart, and Stuttgart also lost because of it.

   Now, the other party uses this trick to deal with himself.
