Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 277 Dumplings!

   With such a close distance and such great power, Dida reacted very quickly as before, and his fingers touched the ball again, but he still couldn't prevent the ball from flying into AC Milan's net.

   "GOAL!"

   With Ibrahimovic's brace, Crystal Palace made it 2:2.

   Seeing that it was Kaladze, who had just been put on the court, who was broken through, Ancelotti could not wait to give himself a big mouth.

   On the Crystal Palace side, it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who saw the goal again. Thinking of the "right to fire freely" that Chen Ran specially explained before the game, everyone was full of confidence in Chen Ran's magical ability.

   During the intermission, because he had already changed to the strongest attacking lineup in advance, Chen Ran did not make any further adjustments except to give the players some blood.

On AC Milan's side, because of his own substitution, he lost the ball, so Ancelotti did not make any further personnel adjustments this time, but only asked Ambrosini and Gattuso, the two midfielders, to strengthen the pairing of the two players. A full-back Otto and Kaladze's help.

   After all, in the Champions League format, a draw with two away goals is also a good result. Ancelotti has always been a pragmatic man, he knows very well that AC Milan is not as good as Crystal Palace now.

   At the beginning of the second half of the game, Crystal Palace maintained an all-out attacking posture.

However, due to Ancelotti's special arrangement at halftime, with the help of Ambrosini and Gattuso, the success rate of Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery's breakthroughs on the two flanks is not very good. high.

   Chen Ran, who saw all this, immediately called Kaka to his side taking advantage of the dead ball.

"Ricciardo, you will inform Ronaldo and Ribery later that if they encounter another attack on the wing, they will pass the ball to you. Then you will drive the ball from the middle, understand. ?"

   "Understood, boss."

  Kaka nodded and immediately turned around and ran back to the field to convey Chen Ran's latest instructions.

   At this time, Guardiola also came up from behind, and he also listened to Chen Ran's arrangement just now.

   "Boss, are you going to use Ronaldo and Ribery to attract AC Milan's two midfielders Ambrosini and Gattuso away, and then let Kaka take the opportunity to break through their defense from the middle?"

"That's right. Although Ancelotti arranged three midfielders, the real midfielders are actually only Ambrosini and Gattuso. Pirlo is a front midfielder and has average defensive ability. breakthrough."

  Because Chen Ran's prestige in the team is high enough, the players of Crystal Palace have always obeyed his orders unconditionally.

Soon, when Ribery was double-teamed by Ambrosini and Kaladze again, he did not choose to force a breakthrough, but immediately passed the ball to Kaka, who came close to the middle, according to Chen Ran's order. .

Kaka, who received the ball, is now in the left position of AC Milan's backcourt. Ambrosini goes to the left to help Karadze to help defend. Gattuso is still in the right position of AC Milan's backcourt, so he is far from Kaka. Recently, only Pirlo is left.

  Kakana is all too familiar with Pirlo, a former teammate. The guy's playmaking and free-kick skills are top notch, but his defense is mediocre. At least, Kaka is very confident in breaking through Pirlo's defense.

   On Pirlo's side, he is also clear about the ability of his former teammate Kaka.

   He glanced left and right, and found that Ambrosini and Gattuso, who were usually by his side to protect him, were at a distance from him at this time.

   Now, he can only defend himself against the card.

   Thinking of this, Pirlo swallowed and immediately took a step back, lowering his center of gravity. He knew that Kaka was extremely fast, and that it was easy for Kaka to pass by if he was too close.

   Seeing Pirlo's actions, the corner of Kaka's mouth twitched slightly: Andrea is guilty.

   As soon as Pirlo lowered his center of gravity, the distance between his legs became slightly larger. Kaka immediately seized the opportunity to poke the ball forward, and then rushed past Pirlo.

   Seeing that he was actually played by Kaka, Pirlo didn't have time to think about it. He turned around and reached for Kaka's jersey.

  Unfortunately, Kaka's speed was too fast. When Pirlo reached out, he only touched the corner of Kaka's shirt, and he failed to commit a foul.

   After passing Pirlo, Kaka dribbled the ball directly to the penalty area of ​​AC Milan.

At this time, Maldini and Nesta, who wanted to rush over to intercept Kaka when they saw that the situation was not good, were both entangled by Tony and Ibrahimovic, while Ambrosini and Karadze desperately returned. Prevention is far from being able to quench thirst.

   Seeing that he has a rare opportunity to be unguarded now, Kaka simply stopped dribbling the ball forward. After taking a look at AC Milan's goal, it was a volley.

"boom!"

  This shot was so powerful that the ball flew directly to the upper right corner of AC Milan's goal like a cannonball.

   Dida moved his feet quickly and threw himself sideways, stretching his body to the limit.

  Unfortunately, Kaka's shooting angle was too difficult, and Dida could only watch the ball fly into AC Milan's net in the end.

   "GOAL!"

   With Kaka's goal, Crystal Palace led AC Milan again with a score of 3:2.

   "Wonderful, this Champions League semi-final is really exciting!"

   "Yes, the two teams have contributed five goals before the game is over. I believe the fans watching this game must be very happy."

   "After Ibrahimovic scored twice, Kaka also scored a goal. Both players have just joined the team this season, and Crystal Palace's signings this season can score full marks."

   "Since Chen Ran entered the Crystal Palace, there has not been a parallel import among the players introduced by this Chinese. This kind of vision for selecting players is really amazing."

   Seeing Crystal Palace take the lead again, Ancelotti also scratched his head for a while.

   It's not that he can't accept the result of losing away games, but it's more uncomfortable to win first and then lose.

   Now, it is better to make substitutions to strengthen the offense and bring the score back; or to simply recover the defense, keep the score of 3:2, and go back to the San Siro Stadium to fight for the victory.

These two thoughts,   , instantly fought in Ancelotti's mind.

   Ancelotti hesitated here, but Crystal Palace did not have any intention of stopping, and was still attacking with all his strength.

   For the Champions League home and away two-leg format, the score of 3:2 at home is too unsafe.

  Chen Ran stood on the sidelines and constantly greeted his players to press on. Under the strong offensive pressure of Crystal Palace, AC Milan was gradually pressed back into their own half.

   This time, Ancelotti doesn't have to worry about it. The situation on the field has played like this, so let's defend honestly.

   So, he turned around and called his assistant Tasotti again.

"Mauro, you go to inform Serginho to warm up, and then replace Seedorf with him. Serginho replaces Kaladze as left-back, Karazene plays left-back, and the team's formation becomes 532. "

   Soon, Crystal Palace saw AC Milan's substitution adjustment.

   "Boss, is Ancelotti willing to accept the result of a 2:3 loss?"

   Guardiola looked at Chen Ran in surprise, he obviously couldn't understand Ancelotti's decision. Isn't the job of the head coach to lead the team to victory?

"Almost. He probably wanted to take a small loss by one goal and have the results of two away goals in his hand, and return to the San Siro to fight us to the death. The abacus was very good, but he didn't ask us about the same disagree."

   While answering Guardiola's question, Chen Ran also took time to glance at the AC Milan bench in the distance.

  Ancelotti is a famous coach, but he also has obvious weaknesses.

   This is also the reason why AC Milan under his coaching was reversed by teams such as Liverpool and Deportivo that were not as strong as them.

   After replacing Seedorf with Serginho, AC Milan began to shrink the formation in an all-round way. Now in addition to Inzaghi and Gilardino, the two forwards, everyone else has returned to their own half to strengthen their defense.

  The effect of Ancelotti's substitution adjustment is obvious. After adding a defender, there is less and less space for Crystal Palace's attacking players to move.

   Just when Crystal Palace's offensive fell into a stalemate, Ibrahimovic, who used the "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card", stood up again.

   In the 75th minute of the game, Ribery dribbled the ball on the right flank. The new Serginho is no Kaladze, he was also a full-back who was known for his speed when he was young.

  Although I am old and my physical strength is limited, it is still no problem to take a substitute for half an hour.

   After tossing for a long time without getting rid of Serginho, Ribery had to pass the ball to Kaka who came from the middle.

   This time, Ambrosini now stays in his position because he doesn't have to go to the left to help defend.

   As soon as Kaka caught the ball, Ambrosini immediately double-teamed with Pirlo.

   As a former teammate, Kaka knows very well about Ambrosini and Gattuso, the two AC Milan's central barriers, and he knows that it is impossible to imagine the breakthrough as easily as last time.

   Just when Kaka was pondering what to do, Ibrahimovic suddenly ran out of the penalty area of ​​AC Milan and reached out to Kaka for the ball while running.

As soon as    Ibrahimovic came out of the penalty area, Kaladze, who was in charge of marking him, had to follow.

   Seeing Ibrahimovic coming out to catch the ball, Kaka also shoved the ball to him.

   At this moment, Ibrahimovic suddenly shouted "dumplings".

   This is one of the many tactics that Chen Ran practiced for the players in training, and then named it with the names of various Chinese food.

  In order to satisfy his eating habits, Chen Ran specially hired a Chinese chef at the Crystal Palace Club. Unexpectedly, Chinese food has been welcomed by the players and many club staff since then.

  Under the cooperation of nutritionists and chefs, the improved and healthier Chinese food has since become one of the daily essential dishes of Crystal Palace Club.

   At Chen Ran's request, all Chinese food names are still in Chinese.

   In order to let the players know what kind of dishes they are eating, Chen Ran simply named the various tactics practiced in training with Chinese dishes.

  This allows many members of Crystal Palace to call out the names of Chinese dishes in Chinese.

   Now, when Ribery heard Zlatan Ibrahimovic shout "dumplings", he immediately rushed from the right flank to AC Milan's penalty area.

   Pirlo, Ambrosini, Kaladze, Serginho and other AC Milan players who also heard Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s shouts nearby were all dumbfounded.

   What is this Zlatan Ibrahimovic screaming about if he doesn't play well?

   Why can't I understand?

   Could this be the Swedish dialect?

   No, why did that Ribery run away?

  Although I don’t understand what Ibrahimovic is calling, but seeing Ribery sprinting towards his penalty area, AC Milan’s players subconsciously realized that the situation was not good.

  Unfortunately, when they reacted, they were still a step behind.

Just when these AC Milan players were stunned, Ibrahimovic didn't stop after receiving Kaka's pass, but directly knocked with his heel, knocking the ball away from Kaladze's legs, who was following him. It was sent into the penalty area of ​​AC Milan.

   And at this time, Ribery, who was sprinting from the right to the AC Milan penalty area, was also in place. After receiving the ball, Ribery took advantage of the situation and rushed directly towards AC Milan's goal.

   Seeing that the situation was not good, Maldini hurried over to make up for the defense.

  Unfortunately, he was still a step behind. Ribery saw Maldini's action out of the corner of his eye and made a decisive decision. He kicked up the door before Maldini flew to block the hole.

"boom!"

"when!"

   This shot was so powerful that it hit the lower edge of the crossbar of AC Milan's goal.

   Dida only had time to subconsciously reach out to block it, and the ball had already bounced off the crossbar into AC Milan's net.

   "GOAL!"

   With Ibrahimovic's heel assist, Ribery helped Crystal Palace lead AC Milan 4:2.

   "Excellent cooperation!"

   "After scoring two goals, Ibrahimovic gave another wonderful heel assist. The best player in this game is Ibrahimovic."

   "First, Crystal Palace scored the first goal, and then AC Milan achieved a go-ahead. I didn't expect Crystal Palace to lead again. This game was really thrilling."

   "I want to know now, what did Ibrahimovic shout before the assist?"

   For this much-anticipated Champions League semi-final, countless fans are staying up all night watching from thousands of miles away.

   At this time, regardless of whether they are fans of Crystal Palace, they all gathered in the post bar of Crystal Palace because of Chen Ran's existence.

   In the early hours of this morning, the popularity of the Crystal Palace Post Bar has exploded again.

   Not because Crystal Palace took the lead again, but because of what Ibrahimovic shouted:

"dumpling!"
