Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 245

   It is rare to be able to rest for a week, and the Crystal Palace players who have finished charging are ushered in the twelfth round of the Premier League.

  This time, Crystal Palace will host Tottenham Hotspur at home.

  Tottenham Hotspur is a team that is not strong or weak.

  Although they are competing for the Champions League qualification almost every season, they usually end up honestly playing the Europa League.

  The matter of competing for the league championship has nothing to do with them, but they can always jump out and disrupt the situation.

   In the last round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur just defeated Crystal Palace's title rivals. Chelsea, the Premier League runners-up in the past two seasons, are now in high spirits.

In this summer's transfer period, Tottenham Hotspur boss Daniel Levy, who is known for his stinginess, actually spent a huge sum of 16 million euros to introduce a Bulgarian striker from Bayer Leverkusen, who was later affectionately called by domestic fans. Berbatov of "Brother Chic".

He also bought Ivorian midfielder Jokola from Saint-Etienne for 12 million euros, France international Chimbonda from Wigan Athletic for 9 million euros, and Fulham for 3 million euros French midfielder Marblanc.

  Tottenham Hotspur coach Martin Joel is now full of confidence in his team because he just led his team to a victory over Chelsea.

   He's ready to take down the Premier League runners-up and then pick up the champions.

   Striker Robbie Keane, striker Berbatov

  Left midfielder Marblanc, center midfielder Jokola, center midfielder Jermaine Jenas, right midfielder Lennon

  Left-back Lee Young-pyo, center-back Ledley King, center-back Dawson, right-back Chimbonda

   Goalkeeper Robinson

   On the Crystal Palace side, after a sufficient rest, Chen Ran also dispatched Crystal Palace's current strongest attacking lineup.

   striker Tony, striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic

   Left midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo, midfielder Kaka, right midfielder Ribery

   Midfielder Vieira, Midfielder Modric

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

   Goalkeeper Cech

   When the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, Chen Ran was surprised to find that Tottenham Hotspur did not shrink the formation to fight back defensively.

   It seems that the result of the victory over Chelsea in the last round made Tottenham Hotspur coach Martin Joel a little floating.

   However, Chen Ran welcomed Martin Joel's confidence.

  The Premier League lacks a coach with such strong self-confidence as Martin Joel.

   Soon, the Crystal Palace players gave the confident Martin Joel a blow to the head.

   In the 18th minute, after receiving a pass from Modric, Ribery on the right started to dribble the ball along the right line.

  Marblanc, who joined Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, was very active and kept chasing Ribery all the way.

   At this time, Tottenham Hotspur's left back Li Rongpyo also rushed up, ready to cooperate with Marblanc to double-team Ribery.

  Ribery saw that the situation was not good. If he continued to dribble, he would fall into the opponent's trap.

   So he made a quick decision, passed the ball directly to Kaka who came to receive from the middle, and then bypassed Li Rongpyo and continued forward.

   The tactical discipline of the Korean players on the field is still very well executed. After seeing Ribery pass the ball and continue to move forward, Li Rongpyo did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he turned around and continued to follow Ribery closely to prevent the ball from being passed to Ribery again.

   Kaka, who received the ball, originally wanted to make a two-to-one match with Ribery. As a result, seeing that Li Rongpyo continued to chase after Ribery, knowing that his opponent was already prepared, he had to give up the plan to cooperate with Ribery.

   Since there is no way to pass the ball to Ribery, Kaka has to make other plans.

   It was such a delay, but Tottenham Hotspur's central midfielder Jokola had already rushed over and stretched his foot to steal the ball from Kaka's feet.

  I saw Kaka pull and buckle, and easily dodged Zocora, and then without hesitation, he passed the ball directly to Ronaldo on the left.

  Cristiano Ronaldo blocked Tottenham Hotspur's right-back Zimbonda behind him, stopped the ball with his chest first, and then gently picked it back with his toes.

   The ball just went over the top of Chimbonda's head, Cristiano Ronaldo then quickly turned around Chimbonda, received the falling ball and rushed forward at high speed.

As soon as    Chimbonda was broken through, the entire Tottenham Hotspur defense line revealed a huge gap on the right.

In the penalty area, Dawson and Ledley King, the two central defenders of Tottenham Hotspur, one is responsible for marking Tony and the other is responsible for marking Ibrahimovic. .

   At this moment, Jermaine Jenas, another central midfielder of Tottenham Hotspur, came back in time and blocked Ronaldo's route to the penalty area.

  Cristiano Ronaldo did not choose to cut inside to hit the goal this time, but a change of direction took the ball to the bottom line.

Before the game, the head coach Martin Joel kept telling him to pay attention to Jermaine Jenas, who was defending Ronaldo's cut shot. This time he was caught off guard. When he started to chase Ronaldo again, it was already slow. half step.

  Cristiano Ronaldo ran with the ball all the way, changed direction again just before the bottom line, and started rushing towards Tottenham Hotspur's goal along the bottom line.

   Seeing that Ronaldo had dribbled the ball into his penalty area, Jermaine Jenas, who was catching up, did not dare to make any moves, for fear that he would give Crystal Palace a penalty.

  Because Tottenham Hotspur coach Martin Joel also emphasized one point in the pre-match preparation meeting, that is, the guy from Crystal Palace, also called Ronaldo, is particularly good at creating fouls.

   At this time, Ledley King, who was closer to Ronaldo, had to leave Ibrahimovic, who was in charge of marking, and rushed over to block between Ronaldo and goalkeeper Robinson.

  Like Jermaine Jenas, in order to avoid giving Crystal Palace a penalty, Ledley King also did not dare to do anything to Ronaldo.

   At this time, because Ledley King helped defend Ronaldo in the past, and the Tottenham Hotspur players had not had time to make up the defense, there was a brief defensive vacuum in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's position.

   "Chris, here!"

   Seeing himself in the penalty area of ​​Tottenham Hotspur, there is no one to defend him now, Ibrahimovic hurriedly waved to Ronaldo and shouted Ronaldo's name.

   Such a big gap, of course Ronaldo also saw it, plus Ibrahimovic shouted like no one else.

  Cristiano Ronaldo is so angry that he really wants to scold Ibrahimovic, what are you yelling for? Are you afraid that the Tottenham players don't know you have a defensive loophole?

   Angry, but Cristiano Ronaldo flicked his ankle, rubbed the ball in an arc, passed over Ledley King's head, and flew towards Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

   Seeing Ronaldo pass the ball over, Ibrahimovic pulled up his stance, ready to strike with a beautiful head shake.

   At this moment, a dark shadow rushed over.

   is Tottenham Hotspur's central midfielder Jokola. After this guy was passed by Kaka, he appeared in a key position in time.

   However, Cristiano Ronaldo's passing is tailored for Ibrahimovic, who is 195cm tall, with a high arc.

  Zokora, who is only over 1.7 meters tall, did not completely hit the ball even if he jumped up, but only slightly rubbed the ball skin and changed the direction of the ball slightly.

   And this rub by Zocora also pitted another person.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Robinson, who saw that Ibrahimovic had a big gap here, also chose to abandon the goal and attacked, preparing to use his fist to punch Ronaldo's pass before Ibrahimovic shot. The ball hits hard.

   As a result, Robinson not only failed to hit the ball, but also collided with Zocora and fell into a ball because of the appearance of Zocora.

  Ibrahimovic, who was about to take off and perform a lion shake, didn't take off at all when he saw such a dramatic change in the situation.

   Adjusted the position a little bit, aimed hard at the point where the ball fell, and the ball flew into the empty goal of Tottenham Hotspur so easily.

   "GOAL!"

   Relying on the gift from Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace led Tottenham Hotspur 1:0.

   "Beep!"

   The referee blew a whistle to indicate that the goal was valid, and then immediately called the Tottenham Hotspur team doctor off the field to enter the field.

   At this time, Zocora and Robinson were still lying on the ground and did not get up.

   On the sidelines, Chen Ran, Guardiola and others glanced at each other silently. Although they were very confident in Crystal Palace's goal, they didn't expect it to be this way.

   "Boss, they seem to be changing the goalkeeper. It seems that we should have no problem winning this game."

   Following the direction of Guardiola's fingers, Chen Ran saw that Tottenham Hotspur had begun to warm up the substitute goalkeeper.

   As Guardiola said, not long after, Tottenham replaced Robinson with substitute goalkeeper Cheney.

Although   Robinson is not a top goalkeeper, he has also been selected for the England national team. His end has inevitably weakened Tottenham's defensive capabilities.

   In the 36th minute, Kaka dribbled the ball in the middle, and after connecting Jermaine Jenas and Zokora, it was a powerful long-range shot.

The goalkeeper Cheney, who came off the bench, threw the ball and let it go. Ibrahimovic, who responded very quickly, rushed to a flying tackle, before Cheney made a second save, and shoveled the ball into Tottenham. Tottenham's net.

   "GOAL!"

  With Ibrahimovic's brace, Crystal Palace led Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.

   "The big picture is set."

   Seeing that Tottenham Hotspur's backup goalkeeper seemed unreliable, Chen Ran felt that Crystal Palace, which had already taken a two-goal lead, was likely to score more goals.

   "Josep, tell the players to shoot more in the next game."

"clear."

   Guardiola, who also discovered the problem of Tottenham Hotspur's substitute goalkeeper, went to the sidelines to convey Chen Ran's orders.

   On the other side, Tottenham Hotspur head coach Martin Joel was livid with anger.

  The good situation was ruined like this. He wanted to do something big in this game.

  If he can win consecutive Premier League titles and runners-up, then his Martin Joel's reputation will be completely launched in England.

   Now that the main goalkeeper is injured, his plans are all over. It is also not known how long Robinson's injury will need to rest. If it takes too long, even Tottenham's performance throughout the season may be affected.

   The point is, Martin Joel hasn't lost his temper yet.

  Although Zocora bruised Robinson, he also tried to actively return to defend and clear the siege. Can you say that he did something wrong?

  Martin Joel was angry, but he didn't lose his mind. He still knew the truth, so he could only touch his nose and admit that he was unlucky.

   Another word is "defeat like a mountain", and Tottenham Hotspur has a bit of that meaning now.

   Just before the end of the first half of the game, the Crystal Palace players who received Chen Ran's order and started to shoot in turn scored another goal.

   This time, it was Modric who took a free kick in the frontcourt near the right line.

  Without the blessing of the "free-kick master card", Modric passed the ball into Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area.

   The speed of this ball is not fast, which is just right for the goalkeeper to strike and confiscate the ball. Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Cheney did so.

   It's just that he didn't dare to hold the ball this time, but he didn't know if he was affected by the previous throwing ball. Instead, he adopted a more secure method of hitting the ball with his fists.

   Unfortunately, Cheney's bad luck.

   Although he hit the ball far out of Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area, it fell to Ribery's feet.

   Every time there was a set-piece, the big men went into the box and scrambled for a header.

   Guys like Ribery who are not qualified to enter the penalty area, stay outside to prepare for supplementary shots or to disrupt the counterattack that the opponent may launch.

   Seeing the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper hitting the ball in front of him, Ribery laughed crookedly, isn't this a pie from the sky?

  So, without waiting for the ball to hit the ground, he directly hit the ball with the inner instep.

"boom!"

  The ball drew a wonderful arc and formed a hanging door.

  Cheney hadn't fully returned after hitting the ball when the ball flew back and caught him off guard.

   In a hurry, it was too late for him to make another save, and he could only watch the ball fly into Tottenham Hotspur's net.

   "GOAL!"

   With Ribery's extravaganza, Crystal Palace led Tottenham Hotspur 3-0.

   "I'm going, it's the world wave again, the Crystal Palace is now entering the fairy ball."

   Thousands of miles away in China, countless Crystal Palace fans are also paying attention to this game.

   "Haha, the main reason is that there are too many great people in the Crystal Palace team now. You get one, I get one, it seems like Crystal Palace has entered the fairy ball."

   "Ahem, Tottenham Hotspur also helped us stop Chelsea from catching up in the last round. It's a good thing. I think this game can be played 3:0, no more."

   "The upstairs is right. If we beat Tottenham too badly, no one will help us stop our opponents in the future."

   "Yes. I hope Chen Ran, the chicken thief, can understand this truth in time."

   "I'm going, you guys still want to teach Chen Ran to command the game? But I think you're right."
