Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 163 Winning and Sending Genius

   Whether it is Zenden or Luis Garcia, they are both fast and skilled, but thin.

   In the face of the alternate impact of Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery from Crystal Palace, neither of them could stand it.

  Cristiano Ronaldo is a hexagonal monster, and Ribery is also a sturdy little steel gun.

   As long as there is physical contact between the two sides, the person who gets knocked out of the way must be Zenden or Luis Garcia.

   Zenden on the left was lucky. Behind him, there was a strong and fierce defender Rise to help.

   On the right side of Liverpool, the right back Finnan's own strength is very general. It was only after the original right-back Carragher changed to play at centre-back that he got the main position.

   In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo's personal ability is too outstanding, and Modric's cooperation, Finnan and Luis Garcia have been repeatedly broken by Cristiano Ronaldo, and the situation is in jeopardy.

   Seeing that the situation on the field was not good, Benitez knew that he could no longer hesitate.

   "Ditmar, go and warm up!"

   Benitez turned around and called out Hamann from the bench, then quickly replaced Luis Garcia with him.

   He replaced Gerrard with Harman to play the midfielder, and then let Gerrard move to the right to play the right midfielder.

  Although playing a full-back is not a position Gerrard is good at, but at this time Benitez can only rely on him to help defend Ronaldo.

   Benitez's adjustment, the effect is immediate. Although it is still impossible to completely contain Ronaldo's breakthrough, at least it is not as reckless as before.

   "It's a quick response."

   Chen Ran was not surprised to see that Benitez's adjustments quickly paid off.

   After all, he is the coach who can steal the Champions League from AC Milan, and he did not expect to kill Liverpool with one stick.

   "Patrick!"

   Taking advantage of the dead ball, Chen Ran called Vieira to the sidelines again.

   "Boss, what's your order?"

   "Now Liverpool have strengthened the defense on Ronaldo's side, and later you pass the ball to Ribery on the right. If Liverpool diverts the defense's attention, you can transfer the ball to Ronaldo."

   "It's all about moving Liverpool's defense back and forth and waiting for them to make mistakes, understand?"

   "Understood, boss, I know what to do."

  As Arsenal's core midfielder for many years, Vieira understood what he meant as soon as Chen Ran spoke.

   Soon, Crystal Palace's offensive organization was transferred from Modric in the attacking midfield position to Vieira.

  Standing in the midfield position, with no close pressing from the opponent's players, Vieira can more calmly observe the entire situation on the field.

   Whether Liverpool's formation is on the left or on the right is clear for an experienced top player like Vieira.

   So, according to Chen Ran's instructions, Vieira took the time to pass the ball one after another, and it fell to Ribery's feet.

   Once, twice, three times, Benitez, who was extremely alert, immediately noticed that the playmaker on the Crystal Palace field had changed.

   And the team's offensive direction has also changed.

   Could this be the trick of the Chinese, deliberately attracting himself to shift the focus of defense?

   Benitez glanced at Chen Ran in the distance, this guy is tricky, and he might be fooled.

   Benitez, who suffered a loss, was very cautious and did not make adjustments immediately. He planned to observe again.

   has been secretly watching Chen Ran on the Liverpool bench and found that Benitez has not moved for a long time. Could it be that he has not noticed his tactical adjustment?

  Chen Ran thought about it carefully, and with Benitez's ability, it should not have been discovered.

   After all, his last change, the other party responded quickly, and the effect was very good.

   Then there is only one explanation, that is, Benitez feels that he is a trap, so he does not move.

   Thinking of this, Chen Ran couldn't help but admire Benitez's keen insight.

   However, since you don't move, then I will come to a fake show and really sing.

   After making up his mind, Chen Ran immediately looked at Vieira on the field.

   At this time, Vieira was also looking at Chen Ran. After all, Liverpool didn't respond for a long time, so he should continue to pass the ball to Ribery on the right, which requires further instructions from Chen Ran.

   Without speaking, Chen Ran immediately understood what Vieira meant, and he pointed to Ribery's position.

  Vieira also understood, passing **** one after another, continuing to the right flank where Ribery was shrunk.

   "Maicon, go up and help!"

  Chen Ran felt that Ribery alone might not be powerful enough, so he brought Maicon up again and continued to put pressure on Liverpool's left wing.

   He would have to see if Benitez could hold his breath.

   If it was only Ribery alone, it would be fine. Now that Maicon has joined, and Zenden can't help much, this can make Liverpool's left-back Riise exhausted.

   Before the first half of the game was over, he was already out of breath.

   This time, Benitez also knows that this situation cannot be allowed to continue, otherwise the game has not ended, and his main left-back may have no physical strength.

   "Harvey!"

   Taking advantage of the dead ball, Benitez called Xavi Alonso to the sidelines to make arrangements.

   Soon, Chen Ran noticed that Xavi Alonso's position was obviously moving to the left, and he came to help Riise to defend Crystal Palace's offensive.

   And Harvey Alonso's position moved, which immediately made Liverpool's central defense empty. At the front of the entire restricted area, only Haman was left to guard.

   "Patrick!"

   As soon as he saw the opportunity, Chen Ran immediately called Vieira over.

   "Patrick, Liverpool now has an empty space in the middle. You inform little Luca that from now on, you will attack directly from the middle. Understand?"

   "Got it, boss."

After    received Chen Ran's latest order, Vieira's passing immediately changed, no longer passing to Ribery on the right, but directly to Modric in the attacking midfield position.

   And after receiving the ball, Modric no longer sought to cooperate with Cristiano Ronaldo on the wing. Instead, he dribbled the ball directly towards the neutral space in the middle of Liverpool.

  Liverpool's German midfielder Hamann has a strong frontal defense ability and also has a good header and long-range shooting skills. But his biggest disadvantage is that he is slow, slow to turn, and not flexible enough.

   If he is responsible for the frontal defense, and then there is a player to help him defend and fill the position, then the defensive ability of this combination will definitely be no problem.

   But now after Xavi Alonso was temporarily transferred to the left, he was the only one left in front of the Liverpool backline.

   And Modric, yet another dexterous player, coupled with excellent technique, stunned Hamann in three or two strokes, and charged straight towards Liverpool's penalty area.

   "Little Luca, give me the ball!"

   Tony, who had been doing nothing in the penalty area for more than half an hour, finally waited for the opportunity to appear, and immediately asked Modric for the ball.

   Modric, who had been working together for two years, heard Tony's voice and immediately passed the ball.

  Tony leaned on Liverpool's central defender Hypia and used his huge body to block the opponent behind him.

   Seeing Modric pass the ball over, Tony didn't stop the ball, but pushed it lightly with the arch of his foot and gave the ball back to Modric.

   At this time, Haman was chasing behind Modric, only one step behind. Hyppia was blocked by Toni, and Liverpool's other centre-back Carragher was rushing over to double-team Toni.

  Tony's weight was just right. When the ball rolled in front of Modric, he didn't need to make any adjustments. He tightened his instep, and the ball was a volley.

"boom!"

  Modric's basic skills are solid, the ball is pressed extremely flat, like a cannonball out of the chamber, drawing a straight line and flying to the upper left corner of the Liverpool goal.

   At this moment, whether it was Carragher, who wanted to block the hole, or Reina, the goalkeeper who flew to make a save, they were all half a step slower.

   With a "swipe" sound, the ball goes directly into the net.

   "GOAL!"

   Before the end of the first half, with Toni's assist and Modric's world-wave shot, Crystal Palace led Liverpool 1-0 away.

"pretty!"

   Chen Ran on the sideline slammed his fist fiercely, whether it was to seize the opponent's fleeting neutral block, or Modric's breakthrough, Tony's pick-and-roll assist, or the last world wave shot.

  Everything is so perfect!

   On the other side of the Liverpool bench, Benitez stood on the sidelines and watched all this happen, shaking his head helplessly.

   The entire scoring process took only one or two minutes in total, and he had no chance to react at all.

   Glancing at the Celebrating Crystal Palace bench from a distance, Benitez had to admire Chen Ran's eyes for being too poisonous.

   Liverpool's side just showed a flaw, and was immediately caught by Crystal Palace.

  Chen Ran's every move on the sidelines, Benitez also watched. The opponent called Vieira to the sideline several times, and he must be arranging his own strategy.

   Now the most troublesome thing for Benitez is that, according to Chen Ran's tactical style he studied, once this guy takes the lead, he will shrink his formation and play defensive counterattacks in all likelihood.

   It is not an easy task to break through the Crystal Palace's defense.

   At least in the Premier League, no team has dared to say that they are confident of doing this.

   Soon, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half of the game.

   At half-time, Benitez's worst fear happened.

  Chen Ran unsurprisingly arranged the second half tactics for the Crystal Palace players, that is, defensive counterattack.

   Modric's position, once again returned to the defensive midfielder at the beginning.

   At the beginning of the second half, seeing the Crystal Palace shrinking the defense, Benitez immediately felt a chill in his heart.

   But at this time he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and attack.

   As the second half went on, Chen Ran replaced Modric and Simeone with Yaya Toure and Mascherano.

  With Vieira, three powerful midfielders sit in the midfield, completely blocking Liverpool's hope of scoring.

  In the end, with Modric's goal in the first half, Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool 1:0 away, and won the league's two consecutive victories.

   "Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game and discovering a teenager with football talent."

  “???”

What does it mean?

  Chen Ran didn't understand what the system meant for a while.

   Looking further down, it turns out that Crystal Palace discovered a football genius in the youth training selection activities carried out in China.

   And this discovery is the system's reward for Crystal Palace's victory over Liverpool.

   Is that okay?

   Chen Ran was also aroused by the system, and then called up the little player's information to take a closer look.

  Name: Li Jinnian

   Age: 10 years old

   Potential (PA): 161

   Competency (CA): Vacancy

  Location: TBD

  Although it is vacant and pending, it is a bit disappointing.

   But the only potential value displayed made Chen Ran excited.

  PA value and CA value, those are the common terms in the football manager game.

   One represents the height that may be reached in the future, and the other represents the ability that is currently possessed.

The   PA value can reach 161, although it is not the top batch, but for Chinese players, this is already an unattainable value.

   After returning to the hotel after the game, Chen Ran immediately called Tuchel, who was still in Huaguo to preside over the youth training selection.

   "Thomas, how are you doing? Is your work going well?"

  Chen Ran has now figured out Tuchel's temper. If he has something to say, don't go around with him, or you will be **** off by him.

   "Not bad, I didn't expect that there are still children in Huaguo who are suitable for playing football."

   What is this called?

  What do you mean, I didn't expect that there are still children suitable for playing football in Huaguo?

   How much Tuchel looks down on Chinese football.

  Chen Ran almost crooked his nose.

  China has a population of more than one billion, and it is impossible to have no talents who are suitable for playing football.

There are too many    to say, it is not a problem to pick out one or twenty to make a football team.

The reason why    has not been discovered until now is just because the youth training has been neglected and all those talents have been buried.

  Although Tuchel's words can choke people to death, as long as he can do the youth training selection well, Chen Ran said that it is not a problem.

   Hearing the voice, you can tell that Tuchel is in a good mood. It seems that the results of this selection make him more satisfied.

   "Thomas, have you discovered any genius?"

  Chen Ran did not mention Li Jinnian directly, but asked tentatively.

   "Yes, so far, I have found a ten-year-old boy named 'Li Jinnian' who is very talented. Even in Germany, he is a football genius who will be competed by major clubs."

   "So exaggerated?"

  Chen Ran couldn't believe his ears, Tuchel rarely praised others.

   "Boss, I'm not exaggerating at all, I trust my eyes."

   "Haha, Thomas, I trust your eyes too. Since you are so optimistic about this kid, then keep him."

   "Okay boss, that's exactly what I want to do."

   "Well, Thomas, then you have to work harder and pick out a few such geniuses. I look forward to your good news."
