Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

  Chapter 215 Something will happen to this club and it can be handled.

   That's right, Ronaldo's shot kicked an elevator ball.

   At this time, the elevator ball is still a rarity, and Chelsea's goalkeeper Cudicini has no psychological preparation for it.

  According to the flight path of the ball, this shot would obviously fly into the stands, but who knew that it drew a strange arc in front of the goal and flew directly into Chelsea's net.

   And Cudicini, who judged that the ball would fly into the stands, didn't even make any saves, just turned around stupidly and watched the ball fly into the goal he was guarding.

   "GOAL!"

  Crystal Palace lead Chelsea 1-0.

   "Haha, boss, Cristiano Ronaldo scored. We mainly attacked the left, which is indeed the right choice."

   Guardiola on the sidelines, more excited than he scored his own goal, grabbed Chen Ran's arm and kept talking.

   "Cough, Josep, calm down, it's only the first half, and it's still early before the end of the game."

   "Understood. Boss, shall we shrink our defense now?"

   Being reminded by Chen Ran, Guardiola also felt that he was a little too excited just now, and immediately calmed down.

   "Don't worry. The situation on the field is very good now. Today, Chelsea will be completely beaten, so that they will not always chase after us."

   "Chelsea have lost the Premier League title this season. If they can't win the FA Cup today, it is estimated that we will not see Mr. Mourinho in Chelsea next season."

   Although he has played against Mourinho in the past two years, Chen Ran has always had the upper hand. But I have to admit that among so many managers in the Premier League, it is Mourinho who puts the most pressure on him.

   Now that there is a chance to drive Mourinho away, Chen Ran doesn’t mind putting him on the horse and giving him a ride.

  Today's FA Cup final can be regarded as a farewell dinner for Mourinho.

   "Oh boss, do you mean that if Chelsea can't win the FA Cup today, then Mourinho will be fired by the Russian boss of Chelsea?"

   "That's right. The Russian owner of Chelsea has invested hundreds of millions of euros for three consecutive years, but has he won any significant championships?"

   "Well, it doesn't seem to be there."

   "If you were the boss, would you still have the patience to wait?"

   "Uh, I don't think so?"

   Chen Ran's series of questions forced Guardiola to be unable to answer.

   He now fully understands what Chen Ran means, that is, the results obtained from different perspectives are likely to be completely different.

   Guardiola used to think from the perspective of a coach. He felt that although Chelsea did not win the championship, it was not Mourinho's responsibility.

   Mourinho is good enough, but Chen Ran and Crystal Palace are really too strong.

   Get 100 points in the Premier League, which is the result of winning the championship steadily in any previous Premier League.

   But, who made Mourinho meet Chen Ran, the evildoer?

   100 points is high enough, but Crystal Palace got a higher 105 points.

   This also made Mourinho's efforts for a season come to nothing.

   However, after Chen Ran's on-demand broadcast, Guardiola also understood one thing, that is, as a team owner, he has always only focused on results.

   No matter how well Mourinho does, if he can't win the championship, he can only leave.

After the    kickoff, Mourinho seemed to have changed his tactics.

   Chen Ran was very keen to find that Mourinho kept calling Chelsea players to press up on the sidelines, this was to launch an attack.

   Indeed, for Mourinho, this is a game that cannot be lost.

   Now that the score on the field is already behind, there is no point in continuing to defend.

   Instead of this, it is better to give it a go, maybe it will be able to create a miracle.

   "Boss, is Chelsea trying to launch a counterattack?"

   Guardiola, who was standing beside Chen Ran, also quickly noticed the changes in Chelsea.

   "That's right. However, they need to be able to attack."

   Having said that, Chen Ran also walked to the sidelines and loudly reminded his players to keep pressing and storming Chelsea's defense.

   As a result, Crystal Palace and Chelsea, one of the two teams wanted to suppress their opponents in the half, and the other wanted to break the encirclement and rush out.

  The two sides fought fiercely in Chelsea's half-court area, until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the situation remained on the field.

   At half-time, Chen Ran did not make any adjustments. He still had to maintain a high-pressure state against Chelsea and prevent them from having any chance of turning over.

   On Mourinho's side, he made a very bold move.

   He replaced right back Paulo Ferreira with Crespo and right wing Duff with Joe Cole, changing the formation on the field to 352.

  Drogba and Crespo served as double centers, Robben played left midfielder, and Joe Cole played right midfielder. Lampard as the attacking midfielder, Makelele and Essien as the double midfielder. William Gallas, Terry and Carvalho form the back three.

  Chelsea made a substitution, and Chen Ran immediately discovered Mourinho's intentions. As expected of Mourinho, he has such a ruthless strength that he can fight at the critical moment.

   "Boss, is Mourinho dying? Chelsea's defense was under so much pressure in the first half. Instead of strengthening the defense, he replaced a defender with a striker?"

   Guardiola also noticed Mourinho's adjustment, but his mind hadn't turned the corner for a while.

   "Josep, do you think there is a difference between Chelsea losing one goal and losing ten goals in this game?"

   "Er boss, you mean, Mourinho is ready to work hard?"

   "That's right. He will leave if he can't win the FA Cup anyway, so it's better to give it a shot. As for the possibility of conceding more goals, he doesn't care now."

   "Understood. Boss, what should we do now? Shrink the defense?"

   "No, keep attacking. Isn't Mourinho giving up defense now and attacking with all his strength? Then let's do it for him and see who scores more goals in the end."

  Chen Ran and Mourinho's decision made the fans who came to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff blessed.

   At the beginning of the second half, Crystal Palace and Chelsea staged an attacking battle.

   In the face of Crystal Palace's high pressing, Chelsea are now learning to be smart.

   After getting the ball in the backcourt, he didn't go through the midfield, and kicked forward with his big feet.

   In the first half, there was only one Drogba in front, and he was double-teamed by Gareth Southgate and Vidic, unable to receive the ball at all.

  It is different now. After Crespo came up, Southgate and Vidic had to mark one by one, which gave Chelsea the opportunity to get the ball in the frontcourt.

   After all, whether it is Drogba or Crespo, both of them are top-notch centers, one-on-one marking, inevitably there will be omissions.

   In the 58th minute, Crespo took advantage of Southgate's mistake to score a goal, making the score 1:1;

   In the 72nd minute, Tony received a cross from Ribery, beat Terry and scored a header, giving Crystal Palace a 2-1 lead again;

   In the 81st minute, Drogba also received a cross from Robben and scored a header in front of Vidic to tie the score at 2:2;

   In the 91st minute, the time has come to injury time. Crystal Palace won a free kick in the frontcourt near the right flank.

  The substitute Jan Kohler received a free kick from Ribery and scored another header with the momentum of Tarzan, making the score 3:2.

  In the end, when the referee blew the whistle of the end of the game, Crystal Palace beat Chelsea 3:2 at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium and won the second championship of the season - the FA Cup.

   "Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the FA Cup this season, may I ask the host to claim the reward now, or continue to accumulate it until the triple crown is won?"

   "Continue to accumulate."

   Now that the goal of the Triple Crown has been completed, two of them have to be accumulated, of course. Chen Ran was still looking forward to the super gift package mentioned by the system.

   At this time, thousands of miles away in the country, countless Crystal Palace fans are also paying attention to this FA Cup final in England.

   In fact, compared to the Premier League, the FA Cup is obviously less attractive to domestic fans.

   If it weren't for the fact that the two sides in this game were Crystal Palace and Chelsea, it is estimated that not many people in China would go to see an FA Cup game.

   "Haha, Crystal Palace has taken another step towards the goal of the Triple Crown."

   "I just don't know if Chen Ran will feel distressed when he cashes out the 10 million euro triple crown prize."

   "Cough, I said it would be too early for you to mention bonuses now? The remaining Champions League champion is also the most difficult."

   "That's right. Barcelona, ​​Ronaldinho is so strong now, it's not easy to guard against him."

   "If you can't defend, you can't defend. Just like in the second half of today's game against Chelsea, with the strength of Crystal Palace, you may not necessarily lose to Barcelona."

   "It makes sense. Barcelona's advantage is that they are strong in attack, but their defensive ability may not be as good as that of Crystal Palace. If they attack, maybe Crystal Palace can score one or two more goals than Barcelona in the end, so that they can also win the Champions League."

   "This idea is good. I judge that Crystal Palace is likely to win the Champions League trophy this season with a 3:2 score against Barcelona in the end."

   "I'm going, the prophecy emperor upstairs is here again. Then I'll also predict one, Crystal Palace beat Barcelona 3:1."

   "I predict Crystal Palace will beat Barcelona 3-0."

   "I predict 4:2."

   "I predict 5:3."

   "I predict 6:5."

  Crystal Palace picked up another trophy in England, but in Italy, the phone door incident continued to burn.

   On the second day after the match between Crystal Palace and Chelsea, Juventus also won the Serie A championship this season.

   It’s just that, as the core protagonist of this event, no one at Juventus has the heart to celebrate this championship at this time.

   Just after Juventus won the championship, general manager Moggi announced his retirement from football.

   Soon after, the chairman of the Italian referee committee, Lanese, was also dismissed from the get out of class.

  As things get bigger and bigger, the clubs involved are now in a panic, and many people have started to contact themselves.

  Milan, Kaka's home, today his father and agent Bosco also came over to discuss the current situation with him.

"Son, AC Milan has also been involved in this incident. There are rumors out there. Many people say that Juventus, AC Milan and other clubs will be punished by relegation. If this is the case, do you have any questions? Intend?"

   "Dad, rumors are flying all over the sky now, don't believe those lies. Before things come to a conclusion, I think it's better not to make decisions lightly."

   "But who knows when this matter will end? If you wait until the end of the transfer period, and AC Milan is really relegated, then do you really want to play Serie B?"

   "Uh, things can't be that bad, right?"

   Hearing Dad's analysis, Kaka is a little vague now.

   After all, it's not impossible that the situation his father said would happen. And although he has no plans to leave AC Milan, but if he wants to play in Serie B, then he is not willing.

"Son, we can't just wait and do nothing, it's too passive. I think you can contact the team that is interested in you now, and if the worst happens, we will have a retreat."

   "Well, Dad, you're right. Then, which club do you think we should contact?"

   After being said this by Dad, Kaka also felt that he should do something, and it would be too passive to not let him.

   "How about the Crystal Palace club that contacted you last year? They won the Premier League again this year. It seems that just yesterday, they also won the FA Cup, and now they have won the double."

   "And they also reached the final of the Champions League this season. Maybe they will be the new treble winners soon. Such a team is worthy of my son."

   For his precious son, Bosco also worked hard.

  The situation of the world's top football clubs, he can now say that he is familiar with it.

   For Crystal Palace, who took the initiative to contact Crystal Palace last year, he was not very fond of it.

   After all, it is a newly emerging small club with insufficient background and is not worthy of Kaka.

   However, since then, the Crystal Palace Club has been calling every now and then to ask for help, and every festival, there will always be a beautiful gift sent from London.

   Not to mention anything else, just rushing into this heart, and it also made Bosco feel that this club will have trouble and can handle it.

  So, when Bosco was thinking about finding a way out for Kaka after the recent phone call broke out, the first club that came to his mind was Crystal Palace.

   Of course, Bosco is an engineer, and a science man is more rigorous in his work. After thinking about it, Bosco collected a lot of detailed information about Crystal Palace.

  I don’t know if I don’t see it, but I was really startled when I saw it.
