Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

  Chapter 55 How can people be so shameless?

   Breaking the dense defense is a world-class problem. Sunderland is only a relegated team from the Premier League. No matter how confident McCarthy is, he cannot guarantee that he can break the iron barrel of Crystal Palace.

   "This Chinese man, is he going to hold on to the end?"

   McCarthy turned his head and glanced at Chen Ran in the distance, this time it was difficult.

   As McCarthy expected, although Sunderland had an absolute advantage on the field, despite the storm, Crystal Palace, a small sampan in the ocean, it just wouldn't sink.

  Experienced Southgate, like a skilled tinker, goes around filling holes for his companions.

   Wherever there is a mistake, he can be seen anywhere.

   In addition, Southgate, as the captain, spared no effort to make up defenses everywhere, which greatly inspired the fighting spirit of those young teammates on the field.

   If there are statistics at this time, you can find that the running distance of the Crystal Palace players is a full ten percent more than in the previous period.

   However, there is always a sparseness in one hundred secrets.

   Thiago Silva, who had few chances to play before, was duped by the Sunderland striker in a defense. He did not grasp the timing of stretching his foot well, and was successfully tricked into a penalty kick by the opponent.

  Sunderland's right midfielder, under the interference of Chiellini, managed to pass a low-quality cross.

   The ball did not pass, the arc of the ball was very low, and it was about to land before it reached the front post.

   Thiago Silva saw that the ball was very difficult, and he could easily destroy it out of the penalty area.

   In order not to give the opponent a corner kick, he adjusted and wanted to drive the ball out of the touchline with his left foot.

   However, Sunderland's forwards are very clever. Before Thiago Silva touched the ball with his left foot, he stretched his foot between the ball and Thiago Silva.

   This time, Thiago Silva kicked the foot of the Sunderland striker.

"what!"

  Sunderland's striker fell to the ground.

   His voice was shrill and his expression painful.

  The referee did not hesitate and immediately called a penalty kick.

  Why is it a penalty kick?

   When did that foot come out?

   Thiago Silva was stupid at the time. He finally got a starting chance. If the team's winning streak is broken because of his own fault, will the coach still use him in the future?

   At this moment, Thiago Silva felt that the whole sky of the Stadium of Light was grey.

  There is no way, at this time Thiago Silva is still very young and inexperienced, far from the world's top central defender in later generations.

  Perhaps, this is the price to pay for growth.

   Chen Ran, who witnessed the whole process on the sidelines, shook his head helplessly.

   What can he say? If you want to take advantage of these future stars before they mature, you must be mentally prepared to pay their tuition fees.

   Offensive players can also rely on their talents to emerge, while defensive players can only accumulate experience by playing game by game.

   There are no shortcuts on this road.

  Southgate stepped forward to comfort Thiago Silva, who was crying and grieving, and then began to direct the team to prepare for a penalty kick.

"boom!"

  The ball went into the net.

  Cech judged the right direction, but because the angle was too tricky, he could only watch the ball into the net in the end.

   Sunderland 1:0 Crystal Palace.

"Oh"

   The Stadium of Light, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people, has more than 30,000 spectators today because Sunderland is against the league leaders in this game. Seeing the home team score, the entire stadium suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

   "Alas, I tried my best and still failed to hold the first half."

   Chen Ran sighed lightly, things can't always go according to their own ideas.

   looked down at his watch, only half an hour had passed since the game.

How to do?

   Change now?

  Is it too early?

  Chen Ran looked back at Cesc Fabregas, and then at Sunderland's bench. It happened that McCarthy was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other.

   nodded to each other, Chen Ran's heart moved, it seems that this McCarthy is also paying attention to whether he is changing.

   Then let him get nervous first?

  Yes, just do it.

  Chen Ran then turned around to greet Cesc Fabregas and rushed him to warm up.

   McCarthy, who has been following Chen Ran's every move, immediately noticed the movement of the Crystal Palace bench.

  Not good, Crystal Palace is going to launch a counterattack.

  Crystal Palace's winning streak since the start of the season has given all teams a glimpse of their scoring ability. Aware that Chen Ran was about to change his formation to attack, McCarthy's heart rang an alarm bell.

  Thinking of this, McCarthy hurried to the sidelines and called the captain over at the chance of a dead ball. He told him that Crystal Palace might have to change formations to attack, and let the players strengthen their defense and prepare for the battle.

  Sunderland is indeed a team that has just come down from the Premier League, and the tactical literacy of the players is quite high.

As soon as    McCarthy's order came, the team began to shrink the formation. The momentum of the attack was immediately reduced, and the pressure on the Crystal Palace defense line was greatly relieved.

   After five minutes of warm-up, Cesc Fabregas returned to the bench and began to change his equipment.

   It took three minutes for Fabregas, who had changed his equipment, to be called to the sidelines by Chen Ran again, and he began to teach him the opportunity face-to-face.

  Chen Ran put one arm around Cesc Fabregas' shoulder and put the other in front of his mouth.

   "Seske, no matter what I say next, you have to keep nodding your head and make a look that you understand and understand, you can't show a surprised expression, you know?"

   Fabregas was stunned for a moment, then tried to control his expression and nodded stiffly.

   "Boss, what are you doing?"

   Fabregas also followed Chen Ran's example and asked while covering his mouth with his hand.

   "Relieve our defensive pressure."

   "What? Will this relieve the pressure on the defense?"

   Cesc Fabregas was dumbfounded. Did he stand on the sidelines and chat to relieve the pressure on the team's defense?

   La Masia never taught this.

   However, standing on the sidelines at this time, he clearly saw that Sunderland had indeed begun to shrink the formation and reduce the momentum of the attack.

what happened?

   Does this trick really work?

   Is it because you are too young and have too little knowledge about football?

   At this moment, Cesc Fabregas feels that his understanding of football has been raised to a new level.

  Football, it can still be played like this.

   The boss is worthy of being a boss, but he is amazing.

   So, under the adoring gaze of Cesc Fabregas, Chen Ran chatted with him about his life in La Masia until the referee blew the whistle at halftime.

As soon as the    whistle sounded, Chen Ran walked straight back to the bench with his arms around Fabregas, ignoring the sharp sword-like gaze in the distance.

   McCarthy was going crazy.

   When he gave the order to shrink the formation, he saw Chen Ran standing on the sidelines and giving Cesc Fabregas an opportunity.

   In addition, this Chinese person also pays great attention to details. He deliberately covered his lips with his hands. It is estimated that he must be doing important arrangements.

  hum, fortunately, I responded quickly.

   By the time Cesc Fabregas played, Sunderland was already ready to deal with it.

   And it's not long before the end of the first half, this substitution by Crystal Palace has not played a big role.

  Thinking of this, McCarthy gave himself a compliment in his heart.

  The reaction of his on-the-spot commander is fast, and it is just around the corner to become a famous coach.

   However, Crystal Palace made no substitutions until the end of the first half.

   This liar!

   is too despicable, too shameless, too sinister!

  How can people be so shameless?
