Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 70 is also the boss, why is the gap so big?

  The schedule of the English League is really abnormal. Less than three days after the League Cup match with Aston Villa, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Preston, the English Championship opponent in the 22nd round.

   At this time, the Crystal Palace players have not recovered from the Aston Villa game, both physically and mentally.

   The entire match with Preston, the Crystal Palace players couldn't keep up their energy, and they all seemed heavy when doing moves.

   Even if Chen Ran lost his temper during halftime, it still didn't have much effect.

  No way, Crystal Palace's current lineup is still too thin.

   Relying on one set of men for the entire season, this situation is inevitable.

   In the end, Crystal Palace drew 0-0 with Preston, and Preston, who had been defended for 90 minutes, picked up a point in the away game.

   Fortunately, in the next 23rd round of the league, Crystal Palace beat Nottingham Forest 1:0 at home, which stopped the decline in time, which made Chen Ran relieved.

  Unfortunately, before Chen Ran was happy for two days, the result of the draw for the League Cup quarter-finals came out.

  Crystal Palace once again drew a Premier League team, and it was a very famous team in the previous life, that is, Chelsea, which Abramovich had just entered.

   In addition to Chen Ran's Crystal Palace this summer, another team that can steal the limelight of giants such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool will be Chelsea after Abramovich took over.

  Abramovich was a big deal when he first came up. During this transfer period, Chelsea introduced thirteen players in one go, including some famous players.

Crespo, Veron, Joe Cole, Mutu, Duff, Makelele, Bridge, Graeme, Glen Johnson, Smetin, Marco Ambrosio, Neil Sand Levine, Jurgen Macho.

In addition, Hasselbaink, Gudjohnsen, Lampard, Petit, Parker, Oliveira, Glenshire, Terry, Galla, Huth, who were in the original team , Desailly, Melchiott, Cudicini.

   Seeing the list of these people, Chen Ran couldn't help but feel a little scalp tingling.

  Although Chen Ran knew that under the leadership of Ranieri, they did not make a leap.

   However, the players of Crystal Palace are still old and small, far from reaching the height of the future peak.

  Meeting Chelsea at this time, and frankly, Chen Ran's heart was a little bit beaten.

   The only thing that Chen Ran can be thankful for now is that Mourinho has not come to this Chelsea team.

   With Ranieri's ability, there is no way to combine these powerful players.

   In this game, Crystal Palace played at home, but Chen Ran could no longer care about the fans' reactions.

   He intends to execute defensive counterattack tactics from the first minute of the game.

   To this end, he rarely lined up a lineup of three midfielders at home.

   Center Tony

  Left midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo, right midfielder Ribery

   Midfielder Yaya Toure, Midfielder Modric, Midfielder Simeone

  Left-back Chiellini, centre-back Gareth Southgate, centre-back Vidic, right-back Maicon

   Goalkeeper Cech

   For Crystal Palace, which can eliminate Aston Villa, the Premier League team, Ranieri also paid some attention.

   However, he now has strong soldiers in his hands and is full of confidence. But Crystal Palace's unbeaten record in the Championship will not change Chelsea's tactics.

   As for Aston Villa, who were eliminated in the last round, can this relegation team be comparable to the current Chelsea?

   Ranieri felt that he had paid enough attention to this Championship team by sending his main lineup to face Crystal Palace.

   striker Crespo, striker Hasselbaink

   Left midfielder Duff, center midfielder Veron, center midfielder Lampard, right midfielder Glenn Shire

  Left-back Bridge, center-back Galla, center-back Terry, right-back Glen Johnson

   Goalkeeper Cudicini

   "beep"

   As the referee blew the whistle, Chelsea launched an all-out attack from the first minute.

   Passive, completely passive.

  Crystal Palace fans at Selhurst Park have seen their team play so badly for the first time this season.

   Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery on the two flanks also completely returned to their own half at this time to help the full-backs defend.

  Chen Ran kept shouting on the sidelines, reminding his players to switch positions to make up for defense.

   He knew that as long as he overcame Chelsea's onslaught in the first 20 minutes, the opponent would experience a decline both physically and mentally.

  This is caused by objective laws, and no one can avoid it.

   Until that time, the Crystal Palace players can breathe a sigh of relief.

  Fortunately, under the command of Southgate and Simeone, Crystal Palace's defense line was not in chaos. Although Chelsea attacked fiercely, they did not get the absolute chance to score.

  With Cech, it is difficult for a normal shot to break the goal he guards.

   In the first 20 minutes of the game, Crystal Palace finally managed to survive.

   The reporters who had been following the Crystal Palace in the stands were all excited.

   Since they were sent to cover Crystal Palace, this is the first time Crystal Palace has been seen so embarrassed in a game.

   "Haha, this time the Chinese person is probably going to lose."

   "I think so too, the strength gap between the two sides is too big."

   "Chelsea have made great signings after changing owners this season, and their strength has increased greatly. Even in the Premier League, they are still the top few players. Where can a small Crystal Palace be comparable?"

   "That is, introducing thirteen players in one go is equivalent to buying a main lineup."

   "Oh, you won't forget it, right? That Chinese man also bought a main lineup. Do you look at the current players of Crystal Palace, and the old man from last season?"

   "Hu? Yes. If you didn't say it, I really forgot. That Chinese person also changed the blood of the Crystal Palace."

"However, compared to the Russian guy, this Chinese is still too stingy. Look at what he buys? It's not a veteran who is about to retire, or a child whose hair hasn't grown yet. It's the same boss, the difference is Why is it so big?"

   "That's right. The people he bought were playing prestige in the British Championship team, and when they met a real strong team, they immediately softened."

"Hahaha, you are too bad. That Russian guy is an oil tycoon. How can this Chinese who came out of nowhere be able to compare? Don't forget, he still mortgaged Crystal Palace with the money he bought people now. Club loan."

   "Alas, such a poor boss in the Crystal Palace stall is considered unlucky for them."

  Chen Ran, who was standing on the sidelines, didn't know that he had been scolded as a poor ghost. All his energy is now devoted to the game.

  Because, he has discovered the flaws in Chelsea.
