Chapter 82 Freedom to Fire

   That's right, not only Wenger and reporters noticed the physical decline of Arsenal players, but Chen Ran also noticed it.

  I looked at the time, the game was about to reach 70 minutes, and it was almost time to start planning.

  Chen Ran called Cesc Fabregas from the bench to warm up, but did not make a substitution immediately. He wanted to see Wenger's changes before making a decision.

   Wenger's action was very crisp, and he quickly changed two people.

   replaced Pires with Reyes and Bergkamp with Wiltord.

  The newly replaced Reyes and Wiltord are also first-class players, not much worse than Pires and Bergkamp.

After    received the support of the fresh army, Arsenal's offensive on the field was immediately boosted. The momentum that Crystal Palace had just picked up was suppressed again.

  Chen Ran saw this situation and immediately stopped Cesc Fabregas' substitution.

  Wait a second, Arsenal's players haven't run out of energy yet.

   After another ten minutes, Arsenal's offensive weakened again.

  Even though Reyes and Wiltord, who had just played, were very active, but the other players couldn't keep up.

   So much so that in some places on the field, Arsenal even appeared out of line.

   Right now, Chen Ran immediately called Cesc Fabregas, who was back on the bench.

"Seske, after you replace Thiago Silva, let Southgate go back to play central defender. You can tell Ronaldo and Ribery that their positions can be properly mentioned, and we are going to start counterattacking. ."

   "Understood, boss!"

   Hearing Chen Ran blowing the horn for a counterattack, Cesc Fabregas couldn't help but be a little excited. The boss gave himself the responsibility of attacking.

  How much trust is this?

   must not let the boss down.

   Fabregas swore in his heart.

  Crystal Palace's movement, Wenger has been watching.

  Chen Ran first asked the players to warm up, but then did not make any substitutions.

   Until the effect of his substitution here is weakened, the substitution is not made now.

   This is the timing of substitutions, with extreme precision.

   This little guy from China is indeed a genius as a coach.

   No, it cannot be compared by the younger generation.

  For a while, Wenger was also aroused by Chen Ran to be competitive.

   Originally, for the League Cup, Wenger and his players had the same mentality, and they didn't really like it.

  For Arsenal in their prime, Wenger's goal has always been the Premier League title and the Champions League title, and the last time he has to be the FA Cup.

  League Cup, it's just an enhanced friendly match for training newcomers.

   This time, if Chen Ran had not mentioned Wenger's interest and wanted to meet this young man from China for a while, Arsenal would have released the water in the semi-finals.

   For this reason, Wenger knows that his players have complained a lot about this, saying that he is too greedy and will not let go of any trophies.

   However, since we have come to the finals, there is only one option for champions.

   Wenger looked at his watch, there was not much time left, the game had to be resolved as soon as possible, the further back the game was, the worse it would be for Arsenal.

   If it goes into overtime, it will be even more uneconomical.

  Even if you win the championship in the end, if you consume too much physical energy, it will seriously affect other competitions in the future, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

   Wenger, who decided to end the fight in 90 minutes, immediately replaced Ljungberg on the right with Pennant.

   In this way, Arsenal's two full-backs are new players and have sufficient physical fitness.

  Therefore, the Arsenal and the formation premise, which were preparing to focus on the new forces on both sides, just collided with Crystal Palace, who were preparing to launch a counterattack.

  As the organizers on both sides distributed the ball to the flanks, Cristiano Ronaldo and Pennant, and Ribery and Reyes launched a direct contest.

   Even if Ronaldo is far from reaching his peak now, it is still not a problem to abuse Pennant.

  Cristiano Ronaldo wins in terms of body, strength, technique or speed.

   On the other side, Ribery is the opposite, and now he is not the opponent of Reyes who is at his peak.

  So, the audience of the Millennium Stadium saw a strange scene.

   Both teams slammed their left flank, and then their right flank was beaten by the opponent.

   Now, it depends on who beats to death first.

   Before the sledgehammer activity was divided into winners and losers, the game was stopped by the referee's whistle.

  The 90-minute game is over, ready to play overtime.

  Chen Ran was very happy and greeted the Crystal Palace players who came off the court with a smile on his face.

   Wenger was a little depressed and frowned for the first time today.

  Before overtime started, Chen Ran deliberately called Ribery and Maicon together and told them to strengthen their defense.

   also asked Simeone to move closer to the right, and help fill the leak on the right when necessary.

   Finally, he called Ronaldo to his side again.

   "Chris, after overtime starts, our offense will be on your side. You can play freely, pass the ball to Tony or go it alone, it's up to you. Understand?"

   "Boss, are you giving me the right to fire freely?"

  C Luo's eyes began to light up when he heard such a good thing.

   "Yes, all for the championship!"

   "Don't worry, boss. The champion must be ours!"

   Soon, overtime started.

   With the help of Simeone, Ribery and Maicon finally resisted the offensive of Reyes and Ashley Cole.

   On the other side, with Chiellini as the pick-and-roll screen, Pennant and Lauren had no way to take Ronaldo.

   The balance of victory and defeat, from this moment onwards, gradually tilted towards the Crystal Palace.

   When the ball came to Ronaldo's feet again, Pennant and Lauren came up directly this time to double-team.

  Cristiano Ronaldo didn't choose to play this time, but kicked the ball back and passed it to Chiellini behind him, but he turned around and ran forward.

   Chiellini received the ball without pausing, and directly picked a pass. The ball went over the heads of Pennant and Lauren and returned to Ronaldo's feet.

   Throwing away the dumbfounded Pennant and Lauren, Cristiano Ronaldo did not go to the side, but went straight to Arsenal's penalty area and rushed over.

   At this time, Vieira, who saw that the situation was not good, hurried over to make up the defense.

Ronaldo did not entangle with Vieira. Before the block, he directly shoved the ball to Tony who was leaning on Campbell for the ball in the penalty area, while he bypassed Vieira and continued to charge forward. .

  Tony desperately carried the Black Tower Campbell behind him, and then returned the ball to Ronaldo who continued to move forward.

   At this time, another Arsenal central defender, Kolo Toure, had not had time to make up for it. Vieira was still trying to catch up behind him, and Campbell was also entangled by Tony.

  Cristiano Ronaldo was left with only goalkeeper Lehmann and the goal.

  Although the angle is a bit small, but who cares.

  The boss said, I now have the right to fire freely.
