Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

  Chapter 36 Sao Operation

   "Goal"

   finally broke the deadlock. Chen Ran watched Crouch celebrate wildly on the sidelines, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

   With a ball in hand, it's easy to do next.

  Chen Ran now wants Sheffield United to stay behind and not come out. It is best to stay in the whole game, so that he can successfully pocket the three points.

   "Josep"

  Chen Ran called Guardiola from the celebratory crowd.

   "Boss, what are your instructions?"

   Now Guardiola is full of admiration for Chen Ran's adjustment, and the effect is really immediate.

   Since Chen Ran asked the full-back to give up the defense and attacked with all his strength, he scored a goal in less than five minutes, puncturing the iron barrel set by Sheffield United in one fell swoop.

"Tell Chiellini and Maicon, don't press the attack anymore, go back to the opening tactics. Now the initiative is with us, it's up to Sheffield United to come out. Also, tell Ronaldo, don't worry, let's Already leading, winning the game is the most important thing."

  Chen Ran patted Guardiola on the shoulder and pushed Guardiola, who was still a little dazed, back into the court.

   Guardiola looked confused, boss, you are too utilitarian.

   How can there be a five-minute change?

   Shouldn’t we strike while the iron is hot, pursue the victory while he is victorious, and kill him while he is sick?

   Of course, Guardiola doesn't understand Chinese, but that's probably what it means.

  Although still a little puzzled, but now what Chen Ran said is what he said, and Guardiola still arranged Chen Ran's instructions without compromise.

   So, whether it was Sheffield United's head coach Chris, or the audience, they all found that after Crystal Palace scored, the full-backs returned to the way they were at the beginning of the game, no longer frantically pressing on the attack.

  Everything that happened five minutes ago doesn't seem to exist.

   Everything was business as usual except that the score on the big screen became 1:0.

  Fxxxk, this Chinese from Te Meow is so despicable, shameless, and cunning.

  Chris glared at Chen Ran in the distance, he knew what Chen Ran wanted to do.

   is nothing more than waiting for him to change formations, waiting for Sheffield United to press on the attack, and then Crystal Palace can enter their familiar rhythm and resort to their sharp defensive and counterattack tactics.

   If Sheffield United do not play, then Crystal Palace can also comfortably get the three points.

  Chris was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he had nothing to do with Chen Ran.

   Now that the score is behind, if you press the attack, you will be caught in Chen Ran's trap.

   After hesitating for a long time, Chris decided to continue.

   After all, it is not a shame to lose the league leader with a small loss away.

   So, the fourth round of the British Championship ended with a 90-minute half-time offensive and defensive drill played by Crystal Palace.

  1:0, Crystal Palace won four straight.

  Chen Ran made another 1 million euros.

   "Crystal Palace won four consecutive victories without conceding a goal and continued to lead the Championship standings."

   "Sheffield United gave up the attack and defended the whole game, but Crystal Palace got three points."

   "Is there no team in the Championship that can stop Crystal Palace from advancing?"

   "The formation took five minutes and scored three points. The Chinese man's subtle command destroyed Sheffield United's iron barrel formation."

   "Magic evolution, this is the art of commanding."

   Unsurprisingly, after Crystal Palace's four-game winning streak, the media was as usual with another wave of touts.

   But inside the Crystal Palace, Chen Ran has already started a new move.

   The day after the game, Chen Ran stood in the center of the training ground uncharacteristically.

   "I guess you haven't forgotten the first half hour of yesterday's game, right?"

  Chen Ran glanced at the players who were lined up in front of him, and many people were guiltily afraid to look him in the eyes.

"No."

   murmured answers from the players one after another.

   "We have been doing well recently. The media outside is talking about how good we are at Crystal Palace every day. Everyone must be very happy, right?"

  “.”

   Hearing that something was wrong, no one dared to respond to Chen Ran this time.

"Yesterday's game, I believe everyone can see it clearly. Because of our good results and the daily praise from the media, every team is now carefully looking for our weaknesses. And, someone has found one of them, and thought of it. ways to deal with it.”

"If I hadn't changed in time yesterday, maybe Sheffield United would have taken a point away from our home. It's more likely that other teams will take the same approach when they meet us in the future. If it's always a draw, So how do we get to the Premier League?"

   "Boss, aren't you here?"

   At this moment, a voice came out in a low voice.

  Chen Ran followed the voice to see that it was Ronaldo.

   Since joining Crystal Palace, from the pre-season warm-up match until yesterday, with his speed and skills, he has made countless breakthroughs on the wing, and his confidence is bursting.

   However, yesterday, Sheffield United's personal double-team defense against him made Cristiano Ronaldo feel the setback for the first time. He felt as if he was being chained by someone, and the stunts that used to be all-powerful were no longer good enough.

   After being stole the ball a few times, he became more and more impatient, and for this he also received his first yellow card since his arrival in England.

   However, all this changed after Chen Ran's transformation.

  Crystal Palace, who scored a goal soon, don't worry.

  Cristiano Ronaldo's mentality has also relaxed. Although the subsequent games did not expand the results, but after the players of Crystal Palace calmed down, they played with ease and became more comfortable.

   This also made Ronaldo feel the art of command and how important it is to have a good coach.

   "I can't play football in your place!"

  Chen Ran glared at Ronaldo angrily.

   "So, you should have realized by now that we are not without weaknesses, and our opponents are not stupid. We are not qualified to be complacent. Don't be complimented by the media and don't know what our name is. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

   This time, the team members answered quite loudly.

   After training the players, Chen Ran took the three assistant coaches aside.

   "Gareth, when practicing your tactics today, add a full-back press, use Ronaldo and Ribery as bait, and attack with all your strength."

   "Like what the boss asked you to do when you changed formations in the game yesterday?"

   Southgate's reaction was also quick, and he immediately remembered Chen Ran's five-minute prank yesterday.

   "Yes, that's it. As the game increases, the opponent's research on our team will only become more and more thorough, and we must prepare more back-up players."

   "Understood, boss."

"Josep, you can't relax in your tactical drills. When I saw Sheffield United's lineup yesterday, I was thinking, if the team can master your style of play, they won't be afraid of the opponents shrinking in the backcourt. Hold on."

   "Don't worry, boss, I will hurry up to train."

   After finishing today's training, Chen Ran just returned to the office when he saw Stephen walk in quickly.

   "Chen, Luis called and asked you to go to Barcelona quickly."
