Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

Chapter 51: to be reserved

Chapter 51 To hold back

"beep"

With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game began.

Soon, Roberts realized that something was wrong.

what happened?

The person in charge of the midfield organization and scheduling of Crystal Palace is not that Simeone?

It turned out to be the 16-year-old teenager who just came on the court?

What is this kid called?

Roberts hurriedly brought the registration list from the assistant coach, looked down for a long time, and finally found the name of Cesc Fabregas.

When he looked up again, the ball fell to Cesc Fabregas.

I saw him pull and dunk unhurriedly, and after passing an Ipswich player, he didn't look up at all, just a big foot, and the ball flew to Ronaldo accurately.

"hiss"

Roberts gasped.

The fact that Cesc Fabregas accurately delivered a long pass without looking up made Roberts nervous.

This 16-year-old child is not simple. He has observed the position of his companion in advance, and predicted the direction and distance that his companion will move.

No wonder the Chinese would replace this 16-year-old child, it turns out that this is his surprise soldier.

Roberts glanced at Chen Ran from a distance, and it seemed that he still underestimated this Chinese.

This guy has been hiding behind his back, and in the first half, he pretended to be weak in counterattack, just trying to trick himself into changing formations and attacking.

is so vile, shameless, and sinister.

Roberts angrily wanted to grab Chen Ran and beat him hard. He had just set up the attack in the second half at halftime. What should he do now?

Do you change back immediately?

If you really do this, the team members will doubt their decision, right? How has it ever changed? Just because the other party replaced a 16-year-old child?

Roberts felt that he couldn't convince himself, let alone the players.

But if no adjustments are made, in case Cesc Fabregas can really play the role of Guardiola, will Crystal Palace's sharp counterattack be able to withstand their own Ipswich?

For a moment, Roberts hesitated.

Chen Ran couldn't control Roberts' troubles at this time. He was delighted to see that after Cesc Fabregas came on the field, Crystal Palace's midfield scheduling became much smoother immediately.

Although an effective shot has not yet been formed, Ronaldo and Ribery can already get the ball comfortably.

The ball reaches the feet of Ronaldo and Ribery, and their power can be shown. Otherwise, they are guns without bullets, no matter how powerful they are, they are decorations.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

In the 58th minute, the turnaround finally appeared.

This time, Cesc Fabregas found Toni with a long pass in the backcourt. Toni leaned on the defender, stopped the ball with his chest, and gave it to Ribery on the right.

Ribery used his speed to get rid of the Ipswich players who were following him and dribbled the ball all the way to the baseline.

Then he passed the ball into the box before the back-up defender blocked.

Since Crystal Palace is now using Simeone’s defensive counterattack tactics, there is only one striker in the penalty area right now.

Ipswich's two central defenders received clear instructions from Roberts before the game to defend Tony and must double-team.

So, although Ribery successfully made a pass from the bottom. But Tony, like the patty in a hamburger, was caught so tightly that he couldn't exert any force.

The ball was successfully pushed out of the penalty area by Ipswich's central defender.

At this time, a thin figure appeared right where the ball fell.

is Modric.

I saw that he didn't wait for the ball to land, and when he came up, he volleyed in the air.

"boom!"

Modric's basic skills are very solid. He stretches the soles of his feet straight, almost at a right angle of 90 degrees to the ground.

The ball seemed to have been slapped hard by a whip, and it was fast and flat, and it went directly into the upper left corner of the Ipswich goal.

"Goal"

Crystal Palace 1:0 Ipswich.

"Oh"

The entire first half of the Selhurst Park stadium was dull, and there was a tsunami of cheers again.

"Fxxxk!"

Roberts on the sidelines couldn't help scolding.

Really fooled!

At this moment, he hated Chen Ran's despicableness, shamelessness, and insidiousness so much that he dug holes and set traps for him.

At the same time, he also hated his indecision. He clearly sensed the danger, but did not make adjustments in time.

Chen Ran on the other side also smiled when he saw the annoyed look of Roberts in front of the Ipswich bench.

Seeing that my arrangement has achieved the expected harvest, that sense of accomplishment, that kind of comfort, soaring to the sky.

No, you have to hold on tight, you can't show a smug expression, that's too shallow.

Pretending to be invisible is the highest state.

Chen Ran secretly warned himself.

At this moment, not far from the bench, a camera was snapping at him.

Chen Ran coughed, trying to control his face and expression, and returned to the bench calmly and sat down.

It will be up to Ipswich how to deal with it.

After an advanced goal, Crystal Palace took the initiative.

Whether Ipswich continues to attack or retreats to defend, it is a big problem, which is enough for Roberts to have a headache.

Chen Ran has long thought clearly that if Ipswich continues to attack, then Crystal Palace's defensive counterattack may continue to expand the results.

If the opponent retreats to defend, then Chen Ran doesn't plan to change his tactics, everyone just needs to defend together.

The game is ugly and ugly, and getting three points is the most realistic.

Sitting on the bench, Chen Ran's focus was no longer on the game.

His eyes flicked to the Ipswich bench from time to time to see if Roberts had changed or not.

At this time, Roberts was in a tangle again.

He was really unwilling to go home empty-handed.

Crystal Palace lost a central midfielder.

What a great opportunity to get points, it would be a pity to miss it.

However, seeing Crystal Palace's sharp counterattack, they played again. If they don't strengthen their defense, they are very likely to lose the ball again.

How to do? How to do? How to do?

Roberts licked his hair so hard that he felt like he was going crazy.

For a long time, he gritted his teeth and fought.

The big deal is losing, and losing to the top team in the league is not a shame.

So, under Chen Ran's attention, Roberts did not make any changes, and Ipswich continued to maintain the offensive posture.

At this moment, the whole process of the game entered the familiar rhythm of Crystal Palace.

For the rest of the game, Tony and Crouch, who came off the bench, each scored a goal, extending the lead to three goals.

Ipswich only scored a goal in stoppage time through a free kick.

In the end, Crystal Palace defeated the visiting Ipswich 3:1 at home.

Continued the winning streak in Guardiola's first league game.

Chen Ran also earned 1 million euros again.

And off the pitch, his plan to put pressure on the FA has also ushered in significant progress.
