Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 62 Goal Like Dumplings

  I saw Ronaldo rush the ball forward before the opponent closed.

   Then another one-man pass, leaving behind the defender who pounced on.

   adjusted his pace, his ankle flicked, and a cross with a very beautiful arc fell into the penalty area.

  Tony and Crouch were so excited that they finally got a decent cross after waiting for half an hour.

  The two followed Chen Ran's tactical arrangement, one for the front and the other for the middle. As for Ribery, who was in charge of the post, forget it, no one expected his header.

"boom!"

   Living up to expectations, Tony beat the opposition defender and smashed the ball into West Bromwich Albion's goal.

   "beep"

The    whistle sounded, however, the referee did not point to the center circle.

   The goal was invalid, and Tony pressed a foul.

   "Fxxxk!"

   Chen Ran on the sidelines was about to celebrate excitedly, and his substitution was immediate, what a sense of accomplishment.

   As a result, he was directly pulled out of the climax by the referee's whistle.

   Forget it, I don’t have the same knowledge as you.

   Chen Ran took a deep breath and comforted himself.

   There is no video referee at this time, basically the head referee has the final say.

   However, as long as the offense is open, will the goal be far behind?

   This goal is blown away, then score a few more, I don’t believe you can blow them all.

   At this time, Megson in the distance was in a completely different mood.

   Crystal Palace's goal was blown away by the referee, but this kind of sign is very bad.

   This shows that the defensive strategy he formulated for West Bromwich Albion has been cracked by Crystal Palace.

   There are nearly 60 minutes left in the game. Can you hold it for such a long time?

   Megson, who was full of confidence, is now a little shaken.

  Look at the field, the striker he arranged to interfere with Crystal Palace’s offense, now being played back and forth by Modric and Cesc Fabregas, turned into a headless fly and has lost its effect.

   One pass after another, they were sent to the wing accurately by them, and Crystal Palace's offense came alive.

   No, no more hesitation.

   Megson gritted his teeth, and if this continues, West Bromwich Albion will only be killed by Crystal Palace.

   Instead of that, fight them.

   Taking advantage of Crystal Palace's weak defense in the middle, it is not entirely without opportunities to play against them.

   Even if you lose in the end, you will still work hard and you will not have any regrets.

After making up his mind, Megson immediately called a striker from the bench to warm up.

   Soon, following Crystal Palace, West Bromwich Albion also made a substitution before the end of the first half.

   And, a striker was replaced by a central defender.

   Megson's substitution immediately made the reporters in the stands fretted.

   "What's the matter? Let's see, West Bromwich Albion is using a striker for a defender. Is Megson crazy? Even when he was beaten by Crystal Palace, he still used a striker for a defender?"

   "Tsk tsk, these coaches are getting more and more crazy now. In a passive situation, they are not thinking about strengthening the defense, but strengthening the attack? I really don't know what Megson thinks?"

   "I originally thought that only the Chinese people would do such crazy things. I didn't expect that this Megson from West Bromwich Albion is not inferior to the Chinese people."

   "Hehe, maybe they're just trying to make madness out of madness?"

   "Hahaha, it makes sense, maybe it's true."

   Unlike the contempt of those reporters, Chen Ran felt nervous after seeing Megson's substitution.

   This Megson is not easy.

  He saw that West Bromwich Albion couldn't keep it, and Crystal Palace had obvious loopholes, so he wanted to hurt each other and see who would hack to death in the end.

   figured out the intention of Megerson's substitution, but Chen Ran did not make any further adjustments.

  Because he is very confident in Crystal Palace's current attacking power, at least in the British Championship, Chen Ran does not think that there is a team that can have stronger attacking power than the Crystal Palace he built by himself.

  Since West Bromwich Albion wants to have an offensive match, Crystal Palace will accompany them to the end.

   glanced at Megson from a distance, and Chen Ran also secretly admired him. This is a very courageous and excellent coach.

  So, the audience who came to the scene of this game are blessed.

   In the next half of the game, the two teams cracked like popcorn, scoring a total of eight goals.

  Two teams, like two gladiators, don't wear any protective gear and slash each other with knives until one of them falls.

   In this goal battle, Tony scored 2 goals, Crouch scored 1 goal, Ronaldo scored 1 goal, and Cesc Fabregas scored 1 goal.

  Crystal Palace finally defeated West Bromwich Albion 5-3.

   In addition to the three points, Chen Ran made another 1 million euros.

   And Cesc Fabregas also created the record of the youngest goal scorer in the history of Crystal Palace Club.

   After the game, reports about Crystal Palace's nine-game winning streak in the British Championship once again filled the major sports media in England.

However, it is rare that this time the reporters no longer focus on Chen Ran and Crystal Palace, but focus on reporting another key figure in the game - West Bromwich Albion coach Megson .

   "What is it that makes a coach go from defending to a frantic attack in a game?"

   "On Megson's Schizophrenic Command."

   "Is it normal to have two diametrically opposed tactics in a game when the score doesn't change?"

   "Beautiful goal battle, failed tactical adjustment."

   "A substitution by the Chinese scared Megson to change his established style of play immediately."

   "Is the deterrent power of that Chinese person already so great?"

   After reading the media reports collected by Louis, Chen Ran couldn't help but sigh. For Megson, he could only express sympathy.

   This is a very good coach, but unfortunately the media only look at the results and will not explore the reasons.

  The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, the reality is so cruel.

   There is also a League Cup on the weekend, but the opponent is a fourth-tier team. Chen Ran intends to send substitutes who have no chance to play before.

   But in order to prevent being upset, he still put a few main players on the bench.

   Sure enough, as expected by Chen Ran, although Doncaster is only a fourth-tier team, the substitutes of Crystal Palace played very difficult games due to their lack of playing opportunities and unfamiliar cooperation.

   Until the 60th minute of the second half, the score was still 0:0.

  Chen Ran saw that the situation was not good, and immediately put Tony, Ronaldo and Cesc Fabregas on the court.

   Finally, in the 88th minute of the game, Cesc Fabregas assisted, Cristiano Ronaldo assisted, and Tony scored the only goal of the game.

  Crystal Palace eliminated Doncaster 1:0 and advanced to the next round of the League Cup.

   At the same time, another 500,000 euros went into Chen Ran's pocket.
