Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 308 One is more yin than the other

  Last time Peter Kenyon told Ancelotti that Chelsea also played a part in fanning the flames.

   Seeing Ancelotti's worried look, Peter Kenyon gave him a reassuring look.

   "Don't worry, Carlo, I managed this matter through the eyeliner of the Manchester United club. No matter how capable the Chinese man is, he will at most chase after Manchester United, which has nothing to do with us."

  Actually, Peter Kenyon did this with another hidden purpose.

   He wished that Chen Ran could follow this clue to Manchester United. If Crystal Palace could tear up with Manchester United, as a direct competitor for the Premier League title, Chelsea would be able to sit on the mountain and watch the battle.

   "The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins." Although Peter Kenyon didn't know this idiom, he still understood the reasoning.

Although Ancelotti, who was sitting on the side, did not know the hidden meaning behind Peter Kenyon, he knew that the water in the Premier League was just by hearing that Peter Kenyon used the eyeliner installed at Manchester United to pour dirty water on Crystal Palace. Not as clean as Italy.

   Special meow, I just climbed out of a cesspool, and stepped into another quagmire with one foot.

   Forget it, they can do whatever they like, and they don’t see it at all.

   In order to make money, don't be cold.

   Ancelotti rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, and set himself a code of conduct for playing football in the future.

   After the Premier League with West Ham, it was another national team game day, with no club games for two weeks.

   However, when he saw the players dragging their exhausted bodies to report to the national team, Chen Ran's mood was not relieved at all.

   Now the competition in the Premier League is getting more and more fierce, and Crystal Palace's lead is very small. Chen Ran is afraid to relax in a game.

   In addition, most of the Crystal Palace players have now become the absolute main force of their respective national teams. It is a common thing to play full court in national team games.

Under the double consumption of   , Chen Ran is very worried that he will be injured due to excessive fatigue.

   Another point is that Vieira, Vidic and Kaka, who had just recovered from their injuries, were called up by their national team before they had time to play at the club.

   Doesn’t this special meow become a game in the national team, return to the club to recover from an injury, and then go to the national team to participate in the game? And the club also pays the salaries of the players during the injury period as usual.

   No wonder G14 is going to negotiate with UEFA and FIFA. At this moment, Chen Ran's heart is inevitably a little unbalanced.

  Because the first game after the national team came back from the game day, Crystal Palace will usher in a direct contest with rival Chelsea.

   So even though there are no club games in the past two weeks, Chen Ran has not been idle, always paying attention to the national team games of the players in the team, praying that no one is injured.

  However, come whatever you are afraid of.

  Jan Kohler was injured in the Czech national team's game. After diagnosis, it was diagnosed as a right thigh muscle strain. Considering his age, it is conservatively estimated that he will be out for at least two months.

As soon as the news of    came out, the media in England raised a voice of disappointing Crystal Palace.

   There are even many people who have criticized Chen Ran for letting Ibrahimovic go during the summer transfer period.

   "After Tony was injured, the absence of Jan Kohler left Crystal Palace with only Dzeko and Cavani, two young men in their early twenties."

   "With just one point ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United, the prospect of Crystal Palace without two main centres is worrying."

   "As the direct rivals of Crystal Palace's league title, Chelsea and Manchester United have ushered in a major positive!"

   "The first game after the restart of the league is a direct contest between Crystal Palace and Chelsea. Now that Crystal Palace has no main center, Chelsea must seize the opportunity to take the lead!"

   "I have to say that the Chinese exchanged Ibrahimovic for Messi and Cesc Fabregas during the summer transfer period, which now seems to be a huge failure."

   "The Chinese man is obviously overconfident in his vision of selecting players. The contribution of Messi and Cesc Fabregas to a team is obviously not comparable to Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

   "If Ibrahimovic hadn't been released, Crystal Palace would not have faced such a dilemma. The Chinese must be very regretful now."

   "According to the latest data from the bookmaker, since the news of Jan Kohler's injury broke out, the funds that are optimistic about Chelsea and Manchester United winning the Premier League this season have increased significantly."

   Not only the English media, but even the Crystal Palace fans who have always been confident in Chen Ran are now a little worried.

   "Hey, why is Crystal Palace so unlucky this season? Injuries popped up one after another, and it's not over yet."

   "Be content upstairs. No team can avoid injuries like this. In the first two seasons, only a few Crystal Palace players were injured. Most players can play the whole season. This is already a miracle."

   "It makes sense upstairs. Injuries are not terrible, Crystal Palace has enough depth on the bench. The key is not to have players in the same position injured all the time, which is a bit annoying."

   "That's right. Tony and Jan Kohler were injured at the same time, and there was an immediate hole in Crystal Palace's center position. I think the two kids, Dzeko and Cavani, can't stand up at all now."

   "Unfortunately, if only Ibrahimovic were still around."

   "That's right. If I say, Chen Ran shouldn't exchange Ibrahimovic for Messi and Cesc Fabregas."

   "Cough, upstairs, you can't say the same thing. Judging from the performances of Messi and Cesc Fabregas this season, their abilities are still very good. That guy Chen Ran didn't see anything wrong."

   "I didn't say that they are not capable. The problem is that Crystal Palace is not short of people in their positions."

   "I said it's useless for you to fight for this! No matter right or wrong, the Ibrahimovic people have been gone for a few months, and now the key is how to get through this difficult time."

   "Isn't there also Dzeko and Cavani? Since Chen Ran dares to let Ibrahimovic go, he must be optimistic that these two little guys can take his place."

   "Just the two of them? Forget it. You don't even look at how many goals the two have combined so far this season."

   "In my opinion, you guys are just worrying about it. Who is the chicken thief? If he can bring Crystal Palace from nothing to the present, his brain must be better than ours. I believe he will be able to figure out a way."

   "The upstairs is right. I also believe that the chicken thief must have a way to get through this difficulty."

   "Well, now I can only believe that he can come up with a solution."

  Because of the consecutive injuries of Tony and Jan Kohler, the outside world is generally not optimistic about the prospects of the Crystal Palace and Chelsea game.

   Even inside the Crystal Palace team, the current atmosphere is a bit gloomy.

   Not only the players, but coaches like Guardiola also feel that the current situation of Crystal Palace is a bit bad.

   "Boss, Tony and Jan Kohler can't play now. What are you going to do on the striker for the next game against Chelsea?"

  After accompanying Chen Ran to visit Jan Kohler, Guardiola couldn't help but leaned over to Chen Ran for psychological comfort.

   There is no way, Chen Ran has always been a last-ditch, invincible image, which has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of many people in the Crystal Palace, and has become the backbone of everyone.

  When encountering difficulties or undecided, everyone's first reaction is to go to Chen Ran. Because they believe that the boss must have a way.

   Chen Ran was not too worried about the current situation, he had already prepared several countermeasures.

   After using a "Level 1 Rehabilitation Card" for Jan Kohler just now, there is only the last "Level 1 Rehabilitation Card" left in the system.

   Once upon a time, the "Level 1 Rehabilitation Card" that was thrown into the system to eat ashes turned out to be a sought-after item, which was a bit unexpected to him.

   Hearing Guardiola's question, Chen Ran had to draw his attention from the system.

   "Josep, this matter is not difficult to solve. When the time comes, let Ronaldo be the center, and then Messi can replace Ronaldo to play the left midfielder."

   "Ronaldo playing center? Can he do it?"

   Hearing Chen Ran's method, Guardiola couldn't help but ask.

   In his perception, Ronaldo has always been the image of a winger.

   What's more, in a crucial game like Chelsea, it is too risky to suddenly adjust players to play in unfamiliar positions.

"Hehe, don't think that you can only play on the wing if you have good speed and good skills. Ronaldo needs to be tall and tall, and he needs to have a header and a header, and he has a strong physical confrontation ability. He has all the conditions to play as a center. Say, why can't he play center?"

   Being asked by Chen Ran, Guardiola opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

   He carefully mulled over the conditions listed in Chen Ran, and found that Ronaldo's playing as a center is really not whimsical.

   "Moreover, Ronaldo has also occasionally played in the center position before, and his performance is very good. Therefore, he is not completely unfamiliar with the position of center."

   "Josep, don't underestimate Ronaldo. He has great potential and can do things that most people can't do. Just wait and see him surprise us."

   "Okay, then I'll wait and see."

   Seeing Chen Ran's confidence in Ronaldo, Guardiola finally chose to believe Chen Ran's judgment.

  When Chen Ran went to visit Jan Kohler, also in London, Chelsea Club, Peter Kenyon appeared in Ancelotti's office again.

  Compared to his predecessor Mourinho, Ancelotti, the chubby Italian, has a harmonious personality and is much easier to get along with.

   So soon after Ancelotti became Chelsea head coach, Peter Kenyon got along with him and liked to go to Ancelotti to discuss anything.

"Carlo, this is really pie in the sky. After Jan Kohler was injured, and Tony has not yet returned from injury. Now there are only two young boys in the forward line of Crystal Palace, which is exactly what we won. Crystal Palace, a great chance to be at the top of the Premier League table."

   "Haha, I didn't expect God to be so helpful, it made me feel a little embarrassed."

   Ancelotti did not expect that his competitors would lose their generals in a row. It would be a lie to say that he was unhappy, and there was a smile that could not be concealed on his chubby face.

   "Carlo, I have a bottle of Romanée Conti in my collection, which I don't usually want to drink. As long as you can win Crystal Palace this time and top the Premier League standings, then I'll open it for you to celebrate."

  I was happy, but Ancelotti didn't dare to be sloppy in the preparatory work.

   During the summer transfer period, Peter Kenyon poached midfielder Pirlo from AC Milan at a high price according to his request, plus the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko.

   Ancelotti took these two old men who have worked together for many years as the core, and soon succeeded in replicating his tactical play in AC Milan in Chelsea, and the actual combat effect was very good.

   striker Drogba, striker Shevchenko

   Ballack

   Defender Makelele, Defender Pirlo, Defender Lampard

   Left-back Ashley Cole, center-back Terry, center-back Carvalho, right-back Essien

   Goalkeeper Cudicini

   On the Crystal Palace side, in the midst of the bleak voices from the outside world, Chen Ran also made a starting lineup against Chelsea.

   Center C Ronaldo

  Left midfielder Messi, midfielder Kaka, right midfielder Ribery

   Midfielder Vieira, Midfielder Modric

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

   Goalkeeper Cech

   It is no exaggeration to say that this powerful conversation in the 14th round of the Premier League has attracted much attention.

  The game has not yet started, and the starting list announced by both sides has caused heated discussions.

   Chelsea has nothing to say. They have played more than ten rounds of the league. Ancelotti's main lineup is all expected.

   On the Crystal Palace side, everyone wanted to see how Chen Ran would line up after Tony and Jan Kohler were injured one after another.

"I'll go, Chen Ran is really a chicken thief. The two forwards, Dzeko and Cavani, are useless. Instead, he moved the left midfielder Ronaldo to the center. Fatty An definitely didn't expect him to play this trick. "

   "I didn't expect it, but the key is to temporarily adjust the player to play in an unfamiliar position, will the effect really be good?"

   "It's not completely unfamiliar, right? I seem to remember that Chen Ran once had Ronaldo play the center position as a cameo."

"Upstairs is not wrong, Ronaldo did play a center. But that was after Crystal Palace took the lead, when Chen Ran contracted his formation to fight a defensive counterattack. He threw Ronaldo in front to fight back, and he was not a real center. ."

   "Okay, anyway, Chen Ran has already made a move. It's useless to say more here. Let's see if his move has any effect, right?"

  November 24, London, sunny.

  Crystal Palace's Premier League game at home against Chelsea,

   Coming soon!
