Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 300 Moneymaking Arsenal

  In the end, the old Allardyce still didn't dare to make things worse. After venting a bit, he recovered his composure and called back all the Newcastle United players, and the game was able to resume.

  Allardyce replaced the injured Owen with Martins. Comparing the two's current ability status, it has almost no impact on Newcastle United's attacking power.

  However, after one hit, it declines again, and three times it is exhausted.

  The Newcastle United players who consumed a lot of physical strength due to the offensive attack at the beginning, coupled with Owen's injury, caused the momentum of the entire team to drop off a cliff.

   At this time, the advantages of the Crystal Palace players' personal abilities were slowly reflected. Newcastle United's formation was pushed back to its own half.

   After Crystal Palace took the initiative on the field, the game was easy to play, and one shot after another was created.

   It is because Dzeko and Cavani are still relatively young, and they lack the ability to seize scoring opportunities. If Tony was on the court, Crystal Palace might have scored.

  Just like that, when Clattenberg blew the whistle for the end of the first half, neither team could score, and the score was still 0:0.

   During the halftime break, Chen Ran did not make any substitution adjustments except to beat the players as usual.

   On Newcastle United's side, although there was bad news of Owen's injury, Allardyce was quite satisfied with the tie with Crystal Palace in the first half.

   Therefore, in addition to encouraging the players to continue to work hard in the second half and emphasizing that the tactics of defensive counterattacks remain unchanged, he also did not make substitution adjustments.

   When the second half of the game was about to start and the players left the locker room to play, Guardiola quietly approached Chen Ran again.

   "Boss, Dzeko and Cavani have wasted a bit too many shooting opportunities, should we replace Tony to win the game first?"

"Don't worry, although the conversion rate of their shots is a bit low now. But after all, it's just in their early twenties, and it's still within an acceptable range. Wait a second, if the game has not scored in 60 minutes, It's not too late to change people."

   "Understood, boss."

   The beginning of the second half of the game continued the trend of the second half of the first half of the game.

Although   Crystal Palace had the upper hand, they still failed to break Newcastle United's goal.

   When the game reached 60 minutes, Chen Ran turned his head and called Guardiola over.

   "Josep, you go tell Tony and Jan Kohler to warm up, and they will replace Dzeko and Cavani later."

   "Okay, boss."

   After arranging for Guardiola to make substitutions, Chen Ran also walked to the sidelines and called Cesc Fabregas over when the ball was dead.

"Seske, I'll replace Dzeko and Cavani with Tony and Jan Kohler later. Then you can score more **** from Beckham and give full play to the precise characteristics of Beckham's wide crosses. ."

   "Understood, boss."

   After hearing Chen Ran's order, Fabregas immediately nodded heavily. For the boss's on-the-spot command, he has always been convinced from the past until now.

   Soon, Allardyce saw the substitution of Crystal Palace, and his heart sank, he knew that Crystal Palace was going to exert force.

  Tony and Jan Kohler played, the effect was immediate.

  Two towering highs poked into Newcastle United's penalty area and immediately overwhelmed Rozenal and Steven Taylor, the two Newcastle United centre backs.

   And Cesc Fabregas, who received Chen Ran's instructions, also kept sending the ball to Beckham's feet.

   Then, everyone saw Beckham's signature side pass, like precision-guided missiles, flying into the penalty area of ​​Newcastle United one by one.

   In the 67th minute, after receiving a cross from Beckham from the right, Jan Kohler in the penalty area beat Rozenal, and a lion shook his head and broke the Newcastle United goal guarded by Shay.

   "GOAL!"

   After a fight, Crystal Palace finally broke the deadlock in the second half, leading Newcastle United 1-0.

   Seeing that his left-back Enrique could not restrain Beckham from sending crosses from the right, Allardyce immediately replaced Enrique with Baba Yaro, who was specifically responsible for marking Beckham.

   This move is indeed effective. Although Baba Yaro is not at his peak now, with the physical quality of African players, he constantly interferes with Beckham's passing, which immediately affects his accuracy of crosses.

   Seeing this situation, Chen Ran called Guardiola to his side again.

   "Josep, now tell Ribery to warm up and replace Beckham with him later."

   "Okay, boss."

As soon as   Ribery came on the field, Baba Yaro was a little overwhelmed.

  Although Ribery's passing skills are not as good as Beckham's, his speed and breakthrough ability have caused Baba Yaro, who has begun to decline, to suffer.

   In the 78th minute, Ribery used his speed to force his way through the Babajaro defence before sending a cross into the Newcastle United box.

This time, Rozenal learned the lessons of the previous goal loss, and while firmly blocking Jan Kohler behind him, he did not forget to hold Jan Kohler's jersey tightly in his hand, so that he could not fully Take off.

   But on Tony's side, another central defender of Newcastle United, Steven Taylor, who was just 21 years old this year, was inexperienced and was grabbed by Tony.

   And Steven Taylor was also a little hesitant to shoot. He wanted to pull Tony's jersey and was afraid of being awarded a penalty by the referee, so he just pulled it and released it.

   This made Tony, who usually carries the opponent's central defender for a header, overjoyed. He saw the trajectory of the ball, jumped high, and smashed the ball into the Newcastle United goal.

   Goalkeeper Shay reacted quickly and immediately jumped into the air, making a sideways throw and blocking Tony's header with his hand.

   Seeing the ball flying towards the right of Newcastle United, a small man suddenly rushed out.

"boom!"

   This little guy’s goal was a volley. He had just made a save. Shay, who had not had time to get up, could only helplessly watch the ball fly into the Newcastle United net in front of his eyes.

   "GOAL!"

  It was Messi. Seeing that Tony's shot was saved by Shay, he grabbed the opportunity for a supplementary shot with his keen sense of smell. Crystal Palace led Newcastle United 2-0.

   If there is still a chance to come back after one goal, then two goals behind when facing Crystal Palace immediately let the players of Newcastle United from Allardyce to the field to be discouraged.

  In the end, with the goals of Jan Kohler and Messi, Crystal Palace defeated Newcastle United 2-0.

  At the same time as he got three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card" from the system.

   At the regular press conference after the game, I don’t know if Allardyce didn’t watch the slow-motion replay or was anxious after losing.

   This guy actually publicly bombarded the referee on duty for the game, Krasenberg, saying that he deliberately favored Crystal Palace, not only did not punish Pepe who caused Owen's injury, but also cancelled the penalty that Newcastle United deserved.

   This moment made the entire press conference scene boil.

  The media reporters in the audience were masters of fanning the flames, but now seeing Allardyce taking the initiative to fire the gun, all of them were so excited that their eyes were red.

   And Chen Ran also suffered a disaster. When he was interviewed, the reporters would naturally not let him go.

   "Mr. Chen, Coach Allardyce thinks Owen's injury is a foul, Pepe deserves a penalty, and Newcastle United deserve a penalty. Do you have a different opinion on this?"

   "Opinion? I don't have any opinion. I respect the judgment of the referee on duty. When it happened, my position was much farther than the referee, and I couldn't see it better than the referee."

   Over the past few years, Chen Ran has experienced a lot of similar scenes, and of course he will not be fooled by reporters.

   What's more, the current penalty is the result of him using the "Eagle Eye Guardian Card", and he is very confident.

   "Mr. Chen, do you mean that Mr. Allardyce, who is also standing on the sidelines, can't see better than the referee Krasenberg?"

   Immediately, a reporter keenly grasped the hidden meaning of Chen Ran's words and threw them directly in front of him.

   "I didn't say that. Maybe Mr. Allardyce has particularly good eyesight."

  Chen Ran glanced at the reporter who asked the question, thinking that you are really a clever ghost.

"Hahaha"

   With a burst of laughter from the reporters in the audience, Chen Ran fooled the matter so lightly.

   However, because the famous English star Owen was injured again, the news about the controversial penalty was still overwhelming on the sports pages of the major media the next day.

   "The former golden boy was injured again. Is this a malicious foul or an accident?"

"Although from the slow-motion replay, Pepe did hit the ball first and then Owen hit the stud on Pepe's sole, Newcastle United manager Allardyce insisted it was a foul. "

   "The Chinese from Crystal Palace thinks that it is impossible for the coach standing on the sidelines to see better than the referee. Although there is no name, but the meaning of the words is intriguing."

   "Crystal Palace defeated Newcastle United with a controversial penalty, and Allardyce was obviously not convinced."

   "Chen, shall we formally respond to this penalty? Save those guys endlessly."

After    put the major newspapers and magazines in front of Chen Ran, the little fat man asked casually.

   "No. The slow-motion replays have already shown it very clearly. These media are just taking the opportunity to hype to attract attention. You are giving them money in response now, which is exactly what they want."

   "Huh? That's true. These guys are so bad."

   The little fat man pouted his lips speechlessly, the rivers and lakes are sinister.

   In other Premier League matches this round, Manchester United beat Everton 1:0 away, and Chelsea beat Blackburn 1:0 at Stamford Bridge.

   Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 away in the north London derby, while Liverpool drew 0-0 away with Portsmouth.

  Crystal Palace remains two and three points ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United, and the competition is fierce.

   Three days later, on September 19, Crystal Palace ushered in the first group match of the Champions League this season, their opponent is the Norwegian team Rosenberg.

  Because the opponents are not strong, and this game is still the home court of Crystal Palace, plus two days later, there will be a tough battle between Crystal Palace and Arsenal.

   So even though this is a Champions League match, Chen Ran still sent many substitutes into the starting lineup.

  In the end, with goals from Mascherano, Dzeko and Cesc Fabregas, Crystal Palace defeated Rosenberg 3-1 at home.

  At the same time that he got a good start to the new season of the UEFA Champions League, Chen Ran also got a "Hawkeye Guardian Card" from the system.

   Just two days off after the Champions League, the seventh round of the Premier League is about to start again.

   This time, Crystal Palace will face old rival Arsenal.

  Although the new stadium has been built and put into use, the continuous pressure to repay the debt is still weighing on the Arsenal club.

  Fortunately, with Wenger, a head coach who is good at discovering and cultivating young players, Arsenal still remains in the ranks of the strong teams.

In the summer transfer window this year, although Arsenal sold Henry to Barcelona for 24 million euros, Reyes to Atletico Madrid for 12 million euros, and Ljungberg for 4.5 million euros The price was sold to West Ham United.

However, they also bought Croatian striker Eduardo from Dinamo Zagreb for 12 million euros, French defender Sagna from Auxerre for 11 million euros, and Lehia Warsaw for 3 million euros Polish goalkeeper Fabianski.

   Under Arsene Wenger's meticulous budgeting, Arsenal have been profitable in the transfer market for several consecutive seasons.

   On the premise that the strength of the team will not drop too much, not only did the club not spend a penny, but instead made a lot of money, which is simply a miracle.

   Moreover, with the current Arsenal starting lineup, no matter which manager sees it, he still does not dare to take it lightly, and Chen Ran is no exception.

   striker Van Persie, striker Adebayor

   Left midfielder Rosicky, center midfielder Flamini, center midfielder Gilberto Silva, right midfielder Hleb

  Left-back Clichy, center-back William Gallas, center-back Kolo Toure, right-back Sagna

   Goalkeeper Almunia

   On the Crystal Palace side, in order to prepare for this match against Arsenal, Chen Ran even sent a lot of substitutes for the last Champions League match, which shows how much he attaches importance to Arsenal.

   Center Tony

   Left midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo, midfielder Kaka, right midfielder Ribery

   Midfielder Vieira, Midfielder Modric

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

   Goalkeeper Cech
