Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

  Chapter 188 Boss, did Diego eat something that shouldn't be eaten?

   Capello is no stranger to Simeone, who has played in Serie A for a long time.

   But such a fierce Simone, he hasn't seen him for many years.

  According to the normal law, after the age of 30, with the increase of age, a player's ability and state will continue to decline.

   But I haven't seen each other for several years, why is this Simeone's condition getting better and better?

   Could that Chinese have some tricks to make the veteran rejuvenate the second spring?

   Thinking of this, Capello couldn't help but glance at the Crystal Palace bench.

   At this time, Chen Ran, who was standing on the sidelines, was also shocked by Simeone's performance.

   This chicken blood card is really worthy of the name. Simeone's performance is like a chicken blood, which is crazy.

   No wonder the system description prompts the use of the chicken blood card, the next three games will be played like shit.

   Chen Ran is now doubting whether Simeone will be able to slow down the three games after this game.

   Equally shocked were Simeone's Crystal Palace teammates.

   As they get along day and night, train and play together, they all know what state Simeone is in now.

  The technical awareness is there, but the physical function is gradually declining, which is something that every player cannot avoid.

   But what happened today?

   Their assistant coach and vice-captain Simeone, is this playing this game as the last game of his life?

  Modric is not on the field, and Vieira is responsible for the task of organizing the attack.

   Following Chen Ran's instructions, he kept giving the ball to Ronaldo on the left. After Cristiano Ronaldo received the ball, he directly stared at Juventus' right-back Zebina and rushed over.

   Zebina, who is tall and big, is actually more suitable for playing central defender.

   But his defensive ability is far less stable than Cannavaro and Thuram, so he can only be forced to play right back.

   And Zebina, whether it is speed or flexibility, where is Ronaldo's opponent?

   As soon as Ronaldo made a few fake moves, Zebina was swayed. When he turned around and chased after him, he couldn't catch up anymore.

   After getting rid of Zebina, Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to drive the ball directly to Juventus' penalty area.

   But at this time, Juventus' midfielder Emerson had rushed over to fill up, blocking Cristiano Ronaldo's line into Juventus' penalty area.

  Cristiano Ronaldo did not choose to play hard this time. He threw the ball and no longer wanted to enter the penalty area of ​​Juventus. Instead, he dashed towards the bottom line with the ball.

   Then, before Zebina, who was flying to tackle, flicked his ankle and sent the ball into the penalty area of ​​Juventus.

   At this time, in the penalty area of ​​Juventus, two central defenders, Cannavaro and Thuram, were responsible for marking a Crystal Palace center.

   Thuram is a little better, he is 185CM tall, but Cannavaro is pitiful, only 175CM tall.

   In the face of Crystal Palace's two centers, Tony 193CM and Jan Kohler 202CM, the two really exerted their strength to suckle, pushing, pulling, squeezing, and hitting all kinds of tricks.

   And Cannavaro and Thuram are very experienced, and all kinds of small movements are very concealed. Using the body cover of himself and his opponent, the referee did not blow the whistle.

  Under the interference of these two people, Tony and Jan Kohler could not take off with all their strength, let alone grab a shot.

   Seeing that the ball was about to fly past the goal, a figure rushed in at high speed from outside the penalty area. Leaping high, with a heavy header, he pushed the ball to the goal guarded by Buffon.

   It's Simone!

   After Vieira gave the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, he started to move forward from his own half.

   Another central midfielder of Juventus, Gianni Keda, was also very alert and immediately followed Simeone back to defense.

   But even so, Gianni Keda, who was five years younger than Simeone, was still a step behind.

   By the time he arrived, Simeone had already topped the ball.

"boom!"

  The ball goes straight to the top right corner of the Juventus goal.

  Buffon's reaction was also very fast, he stepped hard and rose into the air.

   A nice side kick to block the ball from the baseline.

"Wow!"

   The entire Highbury Stadium suddenly resounded with regretful exclamations.

   "Special meow, almost!"

   Chen Ran, who had been watching the progress of the game from the sidelines, was about to celebrate a goal just now, but now he had to hold back abruptly.

   "Boss, did Diego get excited about this game?"

   At this time, Guardiola also got close to Chen Ran and asked curiously.

   "Cough cough, what's the stimulation? Did Diego be in good shape this game?"

   Chen Ran glared at Guardiola angrily.

"boss"

   Guardiola paused, looked around quietly, put his hand in front of his mouth, and went to Chen Ran's ear and continued:

   "Boss, you said Diego didn't eat something he shouldn't have, right?"

   "Fuck off, how could Diego do such a thing? Don't think about such a mess."

   Chen Ran's head is full of black lines. He also knows that Simeone's performance today is a bit exaggerated, but he did not expect Guardiola to think of that aspect.

  Thinking of this, Chen Ran's heart suddenly tightened.

   Guardiola will think so, so will other people have similar ideas?

   However, Simone just used the chicken blood card, so there should be no problem.

   At this time, the game on the field is still going on fiercely.

  Juventus is also not a vegetarian, which also poses a great threat to Crystal Palace's goal.

  The midfielder Gianni Keda and Emerson made continuous passes to the front of the Crystal Palace penalty area and tucked the ball to Camoranesi on the right.

  Camoranesi did not choose to make a cross from the bottom, but dribbled the ball horizontally in the middle. Chiellini immediately stepped forward to block his route to the Crystal Palace penalty area.

  Camoranesi saw that there was no chance of entering the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace, and passed the ball to Emerson who was waiting in the middle.

  Emerson stopped with his left foot, followed by a pick with his right foot. The ball went over the heads of Vidic and Ibrahimovic and flew into the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace.

   Ibrahimovic and Vidic turned around to chase the ball at the same time, and Emerson's passing strength and angle were very suitable, falling just in front of Ibrahimovic.

  Ibrahimovic immediately caught up with a big stride, and without waiting for the ball to land, it was a volley from a small angle.

   Fortunately, at this time, Cech had discovered that the situation was not good, and blocked it in this direction in time. The ball just hit Cech's chest and popped the bottom line.

   "Hoo!"

   Chen Ran on the sidelines was also nervous. It wasn't until the ball was blocked by Cech that he breathed a sigh of relief.

   Within a few minutes, Juventus organized the offensive again.

   However, this time Gianni Keda's forward through ball was predicted by Vieira in advance, and he directly cut off Gianni Keda's pass.

  I saw Vieira looking up at the front, and then a straight kick, and the ball was accurately sent to Tony's feet.

   At this time, Tony was holding the ball with his back, and Cannavaro behind him almost held Tony in his arms.

  Toni did not stop the ball, nor did he force a turn, but directly returned the ball to Simeone who was pushing forward.

   Then, Tony wrapped his arms around Cannavaro, keeping Cannavaro behind him, and shouted at Simeone:

   "Diego, get past me!"

   Simeone, who was dribbling the ball, understood it and rushed directly to Tony.

  Cannavaro saw Simeone coming towards him, so he wanted to give up Tony to intercept Simeone.

   But at this time, Tony, who had been trying so hard to get rid of Cannavaro, was now reluctant to part with him.

   The two were entangled with each other, and by the time Cannavaro finally escaped, Simeone had already run past him.

   This time, Juventus' defense has a big hole.

   If there is no supplementary defense, Simeone can even rush the ball directly into the penalty area and kick the goal.

   At this time, another central defender Thuram was still marking Jan Kohler and couldn’t get away.

  If Thuram dropped Jan Kohler and came to cover, and Simeone took the opportunity to give the ball to Jan Kohler, who was unguarded in the penalty area, the situation would only get worse.

  So, Buffon, who saw everything clearly behind him, immediately called out the name of right-back Zebina.

   "Jonathan, come back and defend!"

   Hearing Buffon's call, Zebina also knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately dropped Cristiano Ronaldo, who was in charge of marking, and hurried back to block Simeone's advancing route.

   Today's Simone, if there is divine help.

   Seeing that Zebina left Ronaldo alone, he immediately called Ronaldo's name and pushed with the inside of his instep, and the ball was passed between Zebina's legs, who hurried over.

   Hearing Simeone calling his name, and seeing Zebina leave him alone, C Rome understood what Simeone meant.

   He started immediately, sloping into the Juventus penalty area from the left flank.

   At this time, Simeone's pass just happened to be sent from between Zebina's legs.

  Cristiano Ronaldo took the lead and charged directly towards Juventus' goal.

   Seeing the crisis, Buffon quickly abandoned the door and attacked.

  Buffon's attack was very timely. Ronaldo just took two steps after receiving the ball when he found that Buffon appeared in front of him.

  This leaves Cristiano Ronaldo with no time to adjust. Either he shoots directly, or the ball is destroyed by Buffon.

   And because Cristiano Ronaldo entered the penalty area diagonally from the wing, his shooting angle is now very small.

   There was no way, Ronaldo had to choose a small angle shot.

  Fortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo has a good grasp of his technical movements. I saw that he gently rubbed his left foot, and the ball drew a beautiful arc, over the top of Buffon's head, and flew to Juventus' goal.

   At this time, because of Buffon's attack, Juventus' goal has become an empty goal.

   Seeing that the ball was about to cross the goal line, just as Ronaldo was about to celebrate, a figure rushed over.

   The whole body rose into the air, and an incredible volley barb actually hooked the ball out of the goal.

   is Cannavaro.

   After this guy was picked and rolled by Tony, he was desperately returning to defense, and finally came back at the last minute.

  After the ball was hooked out by Cannavaro, Thuram immediately kicked it out of the bottom line.

   But at this time, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tony and other Crystal Palace players quit.

   Complained to the referee on duty, asking him to make the penalty goal valid.

  The ball crosses the goal line or not, that is, in an instant, how can the position of the referee be clearly seen?

   In this era of no video referee, he can only go to the assistant referee for help.

   "Did the ball cross the goal line?"

   Chen Ran on the sidelines was also a little nervous at this time, and turned to ask Guardiola next to him.

   "Eh, I didn't see it clearly."

   Guardiola gave Chen Ran an embarrassed look, and said to himself that I was as far from the goal as you, how could I know if the ball had crossed the goal line or not.

   At this time, Chen Ran missed the "Eagle Eye Guardian Card" very much.

   If it's not used, now is the perfect time to do it.

   Now, it is up to fate.

  What the referee says is what the referee says, even if it turns out to be a misjudgment afterwards, it will not help.

  The game was therefore suspended for five minutes. After repeated confirmation by the referee and the linesman, it was finally determined that the ball did not pass over the goal kick as a whole, and the goal was invalid.

   "shush"

  In the Highbury Stadium, the boos suddenly sounded, which lasted for a long time.

   Although Chen Ran was also disappointed, he knew that now was not the time to worry about these things.

   "All cheer me up! There is still time, and there are opportunities. This goal doesn't count, let's score another one."

   In order to prevent the team members' emotions from being affected, Chen Ran quickly cheered them on.

  The goal was gone, but the referee still gave a corner kick.

   Now Crystal Palace's corner kicks and free kicks have also become an important means for them to score goals.

  Because when Chen Ran introduced players, he attached great importance to the height of players.

   For a player, whether it is speed, technique or fitness, it is possible to be affected by poor physical condition.

   And only height is the most reliable guarantee, because it will not be affected by any factors.

   Especially when the game is in a stalemate and the team needs to attack and score, high-altitude bombing is often the last and most effective move.

   For example, Juventus' penalty area is now filled with all the big men from Crystal Palace.

   Young Kohler 202CM, Tony 193CM, Vieira 191CM, Vidic 191CM, Ronaldo 187CM and Chiellini 186CM, six people formed the high-altitude bomber group of Crystal Palace.

   This lineup immediately made Juventus a big enemy. The two tallest big men in the team, Ibrahimovic and Trezeguet, were also called back by Capello to help the defense.

  According to Chen Ran's tactical arrangement, except for Jan Kohler standing in the small penalty area to attract the opponent's defensive attention. The other five people are distributed in order between the back point and the big penalty area line.

   Just waiting for Ribery to release the ball, three of them rushed forward together, and when they were ready to jump in to grab a shot, they also took away the players that Juventus marked.

   The remaining two guys are waiting to shoot at the back point.

   And outside the arc of Juventus' big penalty area, Simeone was also on guard.

   If the ball is destroyed by a Juventus player, he is just in time for a volley.

   At this moment, the eyes of the audience were all focused on Ribery who took the corner kick.
