Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 274 Professional People Do Professional Things

   Seeing Chen Ran's substitution adjustment, Hitzfield could not wait to go to the Crystal Palace bench to punch Chen Ran.

  Crystal Palace replaced Kaka and replaced Evra and Alves, obviously changing the main attack direction from the middle to the wing.

   And because Kaka's dribbling breakthrough in the middle of the game was too dangerous in the first half, he removed the full-back to strengthen the defense in the middle.

  The weakness of Bayern Munich's lack of full-backs has become the focus of Chen Ran's preparation to attack.

   If you add full-backs again, wouldn't you tell everyone that you are being led by the nose of Chen Ran?

   Thinking of this, Heathfield was angry and confused.

   After all, he is also an experienced and famous coach in his late 60s, but to be played and applauded by a young man like Chen Ran, this is a shame.

   Watching Modric keep delivering the ball to Evra and Alves one by one, Hitzfeld knew he couldn't hesitate any longer, otherwise Bayern Munich's goal was likely to fall again.

   Forget it, shame on you.

   Heathfield was still clear about the priorities of the matter. After glaring at Chen Ran not far away, he gritted his teeth and called out the substitute right back Christian Lyle on the bench.

   Soon, after a simple warm-up, Christian Lyle was replaced by Heathfield and replaced by Demichelis.

   Lahm then moved back to left-back and Bayern Munich's formation went from 352 back to the opening 442.

   "Audience friends, have you noticed? This game not only has a beautiful world goal, but also the fighting between the coaches of the two teams is equally exciting."

   "Crystal Palace's Chen Ran used Kaka's dribbling to break through the middle of Bayern Munich at the beginning, forcing Heathfield to remove the full back and increase the defense in the middle."

   "But just after Heathfield's substitutions were adjusted, Chen Ran replaced two full-backs at halftime and started to attack Bayern Munich's flanks without full-back protection."

   "Now, Hitzfeld was forced to replace right back Christian Lyle again, restoring Bayern Munich's formation to 442 in the opening stage."

   "It can be said that so far in this game, the experienced German coach Chen Ran has completely taken the initiative, and he can only react passively."

   "Heathfield is nearly sixty years old and has made outstanding achievements. Chen Ran is only in his early thirties, but he has already won many championship trophies. It can be said that this game is a direct contest between the new generation of coaches and the older generation of coaches."

   "From the current process, the rise of the new generation of coaches represented by Chen Ran is unstoppable!"

   The rainbow fart of the game commentary was unknown to Chen Ran.

   But by his side, someone has already made up for it in time.

   "Boss, Heathfield is completely following your plan. You are really amazing."

   Seeing Heathfield's substitution adjustment, Guardiola and the others couldn't help but sigh.

   "Cough, low-key, low-key. These are trivial things, not worth mentioning."

  Chen Ran waved his hand indifferently, with a light-hearted look.

"Josep, you go tell Modric to pass the ball to Evra on the left. The new right-back Christian Lyle from Bayern Munich is inexperienced, so put the main attack on him. "

   "Okay, boss."

   Soon, Modric, who received Chen Ran's instructions, began to continuously deliver shells to Evra.

   With Evra's repeated impact, he used to be a substitute for Sagnol all the year round, and Christian Rielton, who had few chances to play, was a bit in a hurry.

   Seeing this situation, Heathfield had to order right midfielder Salihamidzic to drop back to help Christian Lyle strengthen his defense.

   Thirty-year-old Salihamidzic is no longer in physical condition than when he was young, so he can no longer balance offense and defense. As soon as he retreated to defend, the entire Bayern Munich attack on the right was basically paralyzed.

   The "Little Pig" Schweinsteiger, who is the left avant-garde, is better at playing in the middle. His left midfielder is more like a front midfielder, kicking and kicking him and unconsciously running to the middle.

  Bayern Munich's attack on the left side is more about the assists of left-back Lahm.

   However, Crystal Palace's current right-sided configuration, whether it is right back Maicon or right midfielder Alves, is a ruthless role with fast speed, good skills, and can fight against others.

   Both guys are right backs, right midfielders and even right wingers are all-rounders on the right.

   Faced with one of them alone, Ram can guarantee that he will not fall behind. But the two bandits went together, and even Ram could only admit it.

   Both flanks are restricted by Crystal Palace, and of course Bayern Munich's offensive will not be able to start.

  The two forwards Makai and Podolski received limited support. Under the strict defense of Vidic and Thiago Silva, they naturally couldn't pose much threat to the goal guarded by Cech.

   Under Chen Ran's very targeted tactical arrangement, Bayern Munich played very suffocated throughout the game. Even after Heathfield replaced Iran international Karimi to try to strengthen the attack, it did not achieve any effect.

  Just like that, Crystal Palace maintained their two-goal lead until the end of the game. Of course, Chen Ran did not forget to replace Ronaldo in the stoppage time to wash away the negative effects.

  In the end, with two goals from Modric and Ibrahimovic, Crystal Palace defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 at home and won the first round of the Champions League semi-finals.

   "Ding, congratulations to the host for winning this game, and a special reward of 'Level 1 Healing Card'."

   Seeing the reward given by the system, Chen Ran was also relieved. He has to play nine games in twenty-five days. What he is most worried about is the physical condition of the players. Now he can't wait for the system to reward "Level 1 Healing Cards" for every game.

   It is thousands of miles away in China. As one of the highlights of this round of the Champions League, the battle between the defending champion Crystal Palace and the Bundesliga hegemony Bayern Munich has attracted countless fans to stay up late to watch.

   In addition to Crystal Palace fans and Bayern Munich fans, there are also a large number of fans of other teams and even fake fans.

   After Crystal Palace won Bayern Munich 2:0 neatly, these people didn't want to rush to sleep for a while, and ran to the post bar of Crystal Palace to water.

   "Good guy, I didn't expect Crystal Palace to be so good now. Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga squad, was suppressed all the way, and they lost no temper at all."

   "Hehe, the one upstairs doesn't look like a Crystal Palace fan. Isn't it normal for Crystal Palace to win now?"

"Hey, you are too arrogant upstairs, aren't you? Bayern Munich has dominated the Bundesliga for many years, and most teams are not opponents at all. Crystal Palace is lucky to enter two world waves today, otherwise whoever loses will win. must."

   "Everyone, come and see, and catch a Bayern fan upstairs alive."

   "I'm going, even if you lose, you still dare to come here to play in the gym? Didn't you see that Heathfield was completely led by Chen Ran's nose?"

   "Yes. Did Bayern Munich have a decent shot in this game? I even doubt that Cech didn't sweat after the game."

   "Ahem, isn't it a fan upstairs? The goalkeeper is a special position, and it's not uncommon for him to sweat after the game."

   "Ah? Is that so? Haha, don't pay attention to these details, just understand the spirit. But Chen Ran has a way of directing the game. I announce that from today, I am a Crystal Palace fan."

  ". Are we provoking a fake fan?"

   "Why? Are you looking down on fake fans upstairs? Who doesn't watch football from fake fans who only watch the fun?"

   "It's not unreasonable. I initially watched the game just to watch the fun, and then slowly developed into a real fan. Welcome fake fans to join the Crystal Palace family!"

   “Welcome +1!”

   "Welcome +2!"

   "Hey, thank you. I also watched the game after insomnia at night. I didn't expect this game to be pretty good, especially the fight between Chen Ran and Heathfield. I think it's more interesting than the game itself."

   "That's right, brother's words got to the point. Heisfeld is also a famous German coach after all. I didn't expect to be pressed and rubbed on the ground by Chen Ran. Chicken thieves are getting more and more powerful."

  Two days later, on April 14th, in the thirty-third round of the Premier League, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace to challenge Charlton away.

  In the case of rotating some of the main players, Crystal Palace beat Charlton away 2:1 with the goals of Jan Kohler and Southgate.

  At the same time as he got three precious points, Chen Ran also gained a "Free Kick Master Card".

It is a pity that in other Premier League matches in this round, Manchester United defeated Sheffield United 2-0 at Old Trafford, and Chelsea defeated West Ham United 4-1 away, still maintaining a two-point draw. Three point difference.

  The two teams continued to follow closely behind Crystal Palace, and no one was left behind.

   Two days later, on April 17, in the second round of the Champions League semi-final match, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace to Germany to challenge Bayern Munich.

   With a first-leg loss away to Crystal Palace, Heathfield had no other option this time around, and Bayern Munich launched an all-out attack from the first minute of the game.

   For this, Chen Ran was well prepared. He used the defensive counter-attack tactics for Crystal Palace.

   With the cheers of more than 70,000 fans at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich set off waves of offensives.

  In the end, with the goals of Ibrahimovic and Kaka, Crystal Palace lost to Bayern Munich 2:3 away, and eliminated the opponent with a total score of 4:3 to advance to the Champions League semi-finals.

   In this important game about whether Bayern Munich can advance to the Champions League semi-finals, Bayern Munich's three giants Beckenbauer, Rummenigge and Hoeness of course appeared together at the Allianz Arena to cheer for the team.

   But just before the start of such an important game, Beckenbauer also sat in a VIP box for a while.

   Of course, the person who deserves to be entertained by Beckenbauer himself is not an ordinary person, but the boss of the Red Bull Group, Dietrich Mattschitz.

   Since he became interested in Galaxy Football Group, Dietrich Mattschitz has been paying attention to this news for a while.

   Especially as the Crystal Palace Club, the core asset of the Galaxy Football Group, he let his subordinates collect all kinds of information.

When Dietrich Mattschitz saw that Chen Ran took less than four years to bring an unknown Championship team to where it is today, he further developed a strong affection for Chen Ran. interest.

  It is legendary enough to know that Dietrich Mattschitz’s own fortune was legendary. At the beginning, he was just the sales executive of a toothpaste company in Germany. When he was on a business trip to Thailand, he discovered the popular Red Bull drink there.

   Then he decided to pay for the establishment of a joint venture with Xu Shubiao, the inventor of Red Bull beverage, and held a 49% stake in the company, thus starting the legendary career of Austria's richest man.

   Now, Chen Ran, an equally legendary guy, has gradually made Dietrich Mattschitz more interested in cooperating with Galaxy Football Group than continuing to acquire German clubs.

After watching Bayern Munich's home victory over Crystal Palace, but being eliminated from the game, Dietrich Mattschitz was condescending in the VIP box, quietly watching the players of Bayern Munich, the winner of the game, in the Allianz Arena. One by one is dejected, and the Crystal Palace players who lost the game are elated and eerie.

   "Felix, what do you think of Crystal Palace Club?"

   Without looking back, Dietrich Mattschitz suddenly asked the assistant such a question.

   "Although their strength is good, they are similar to Bayern Munich. There is a certain element of luck in being able to eliminate Bayern Munich."

   Dietrich Mattschitz's assistant Felix is ​​German, and his words are inevitably biased towards Bayern Munich.

   However, Dietrich Matschitz didn't say anything about his assistant's opinion, just asked another question indifferently.

   "Can bring an obscure second league team to the same level as Bayern Munich, and it only took less than four years, what do you think of that Chinese Chen Ran?"

   ". He's very strong."

   This time, Felix was silent for a while, and finally spoke his true thoughts.

   "Then do you think it would be more appropriate for the Red Bull Group to cooperate with the Galaxy Football Group established by the Chinese rather than buying one of our clubs?"

   "Well, boss, to be honest, running a football club is not an easy task. I think it is still necessary to find professional people to do professional things."

   "Professional people do professional things? Makes sense."

   After chewing on the words of his assistant, Dietrich Mattschitz turned his attention to Chen Ran, who was surrounded by the players and returned to the locker room.
