MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 412 each has ghosts

   Seeing that Crystal Palace scored another goal, Ferguson was not in a hurry.

   In fact, he has long accepted the reality that Crystal Palace is stronger than Manchester United. In addition, the Glazer family has been holding back, and it is expected that the team will not be able to play Crystal Palace.

  Looking back at the Manchester United bench, Ferguson called out the veteran Scholes.

   After a simple warm-up, he replaced Hargreaves with Scholes, wanting to use Scholes' offensive ability to make a last-ditch effort.

   Seeing that Ferguson had used up all the substitutions, at this time, Chen Ran finally made his move.

   "Gareth."

   "Boss, what do you need me to do?"

   "Go and warm up Mascherano, Cesc Fabregas and Alves, and replace Kaka, Modric and Messi with three of them later."

   "Mascherano, Cesc Fabregas and Yaya Toure together form the third midfielder, Alves replaces Messi as the right midfielder, and the team's formation has also changed from 4231 to 451."

   "Okay, boss."

After   Crystal Palace took the initiative to shrink the formation, Manchester United gradually began to occupy the initiative on the field.

   But the time for the game was running out at this time, and before Manchester United could see results, the referee on duty blew the whistle for the end of the game.

  In the end, with the goals of Tony, Ronaldo and Messi, Crystal Palace defeated Manchester United 3:1 at the Emirates Stadium.

  At the same time as winning the game, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card" from the system.

   In other Premier League games this round, Chelsea beat Sunderland 3-1 away and Liverpool beat Stoke City 4-0 at Anfield.

   Arsenal beat Bolton 4:2 at home, while Manchester City lost 0:2 to Everton at home.

   After the second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal are the only three remaining teams to win both games. Arsenal, on the other hand, retained their top spot again with a goal difference advantage.

   Just three days later, on August 23, Crystal Palace ushered in the third round of the Premier League. This time they continued to host Everton at home.

  Because on August 28, Crystal Palace also went to Monaco to participate in the 2008-2009 UEFA Super Cup. On August 30th, in the fourth round of the Premier League, they are going to challenge Chelsea away.

   Therefore, Chen Ran had to make a large rotation of the starting lineup in the game against Everton.

   Fortunately, Crystal Palace's bench lineup is also very strong. With the goals of Cavani and Kompany, Crystal Palace beat Everton 2:1 at home.

  At the same time as he won three consecutive victories in the new season, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Healing Card" from the system.

   In other matches in the Premier League this round, Chelsea beat Fulham 2:0 away, and Arsenal beat Portsmouth 4:1 at home.

  Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 5:0 away, Manchester City also beat Wolves 1:0 at home.

   Among the top teams, only Liverpool lost again. This time, they lost 3-1 to Aston Villa at Anfield.

  The new season has just started three rounds, and Liverpool have already lost two games. And they only lost two games in total last season.

   It seems that in addition to being unable to sign in the summer transfer period, Liverpool has also experienced major internal troubles.

  …

   However, these are not things Chen Ran cares about now.

   After the game against Everton, he flew to Monaco with the Crystal Palace team.

  Crystal Palace, which has participated in the European Super Cup for several years, is now very familiar with the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.

   Their opponent this year is last season's Europa League winner, Shakhtar Donetsk from Ukraine.

   Unlike traditional Eastern European teams, this Shakhtar Donetsk team has many good Brazilian players.

  Romanian coach Lucescu organically combines Samba football with Eastern European football.

   In Shakhtar Donetsk, the Brazilian players attacked nearby and the Eastern European players were in charge of the defense. Judging from their ability to win the Europa League last season, the effect is obviously very good.

   In the face of Crystal Palace, which is currently recognized as the strongest team in the world, Lusescu also made careful preparations.

   He dispatched all of Shakhtar Donetsk's main force, wanting to see how far his team is from the top level in the world.

   striker Fernandinho, striker Luis Adriano

  Left midfielder Willian, midfielder Hubsman, midfielder Olekorski, right midfielder Inercinho

   Left-back Larter, center-back Ziglinski, center-back Kuchel, right-back Srna

   Goalkeeper Pyatov

   On the Crystal Palace side, after the Premier League's rotation, Chen Ran was also able to send all the main players.

   Center Tony

   Left midfielder Ronaldo, midfielder Kaka, right midfielder Messi

   Midfielder Yaya Toure, Midfielder Modric

  Left-back Chiellini, center-back Thiago Silva, center-back Vidic, right-back Maicon

   Goalkeeper Cech

   Contrary to Chen Ran's expectations, Lucescu did not adopt the bus tactic commonly used by weak teams when facing Crystal Palace. He continued to use the 442 formation with a balanced attack and defense.

   I have to admit that Lucescu has a good eye for selecting Brazilian players.

   On Shakhtar Donetsk's side, both the two strikers Fernandinho and Luis Adriano, and the two full-backs Willian and Insinho were very active.

  Although some of them can't reach the level of top players, considering the marginal status of the Ukrainian league, it is very rare for Lusescu to buy these Brazilian players at an affordable price.

   Especially when Chen Ran remembered that in addition to the current William and others, Shakhtar Donetsk later bought Brazilian players such as Douglas Costa and Teixeira.

   For a moment, Chen Ran even had the idea of ​​digging Lucescu to the Crystal Palace.

   It is not that Lucescu wants to be the coach, but that he is in charge of scouting for Crystal Palace Club.

   After all, Chen Ran's rebirth advantage will become smaller and smaller as time goes on until it disappears.

   Planning ahead and making some preparations in advance is the long-term solution.

  Although Shakhtar Donetsk's players worked very hard, due to the gap in strength, the initiative of the game was still firmly in the hands of Crystal Palace.

   When the game went to the 32nd minute, after Cech hugged Luis Adriano's shot, he immediately sent the ball to Kaka in the frontcourt with a big foot.

  …

  Kaka took the ball homeopathically and immediately started his best high-speed dribbling breakthrough.

   After passing the midfielders of the two Shakhtar Donetsk miners in a row, Hubsman and Olekowski, he did not continue to break into the opponent's penalty area, but directly kicked the goal near the arc of the penalty area.

"boom!"

  The ball was quick and fast, almost without rotation, towards the top right corner of Shakhtar Donetsk's goal.

   Goalkeeper Pyatov reacted quickly, jumped up and rushed over.

  Unfortunately, Kaka's shot was from a very awkward angle, and Pyatov tried his best to not reach the ball.

  “goal!

  ”

   With Kaka's long-range shot, Crystal Palace led Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0.

   Although the next game was very intense, neither team could score again until the end of the first half.

   During the intermission, on the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran did not make any substitution adjustments.

   On Shakhtar Donetsk's side, Lusescu replaced Fernandinho with Judson, and replaced Incinho with Agachova.

  The formation has not changed, it is all substitutions, and whether it is a new player or a player who has been replaced, all of them are Brazilians.

   The second half of the game was still very intense, but even if Shakhtar Donetsk tried their best, they could not break the goal guarded by Cech.

Instead, in the 67th minute of the game, Thiago Silva received a free kick from Modric, jumped high and smashed the ball into the goal guarded by Piatov again. .

  “goal!

  ”

   With Thiago Silva's goal, Crystal Palace led Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0.

   As soon as this second goal was scored, Shakhtar Donetsk was a little discouraged.

  Especially the Brazilians on the offensive line were obviously not as active in running and fighting as before.

   On the sidelines, Lusescu, who saw this situation, was a little helpless.

  No way, that's the nature of Brazilian players. Most Brazilians are lazy by nature, and their tactical execution is not as good as European players. It's okay to hit the tailwind, but it's a little harder to hit the headwind.

   And Shakhtar Donetsk's midfielders are all Brazilians.

   Chen Ran, who also discovered the Donetsk miners’ problem, also called Southgate to his side.

   "Gareth, you go to inform Vardy, Evra and Mascherano now, and use them to replace Messi, Ronaldo and Modric later."

   "The team's formation will remain the same. Evra will replace Ronaldo to play the left midfielder, Vardy will replace Messi to play the right midfielder, and Mascherano will replace Modric to play the midfielder. Understand?"

   "Understood, boss."

  Because there is only one day after the end of this game, Crystal Palace will go away to play Chelsea in the fourth round of the Premier League, so after leading by two goals, Chen Ran now has to replace several key players in advance to rest.

  Crystal Palace's attacking core came off the field, and the pressure on Shakhtar Donetsk's defense line immediately eased a lot.

  Especially on the two flanks, Evra and Vardy were obviously unable to completely suppress the opponent's two full-backs.

   Lusescu on the sidelines immediately seized this rare opportunity and ordered Shakhtar Donetsk's players to press the attack heavily.

  …

   For a while, the situation on the field changed suddenly, and Shakhtar Donetsk gradually took the initiative in the final stage of the game.

   Fortunately, Chen Ran replaced only Crystal Palace's core offensive players, and the midfield and backcourts were still dominated by the main players.

After withstood the last 20 minutes of Shakhtar Donetsk's attack, Crystal Palace finally defeated Shakhtar Donetz 2-0 at the Stade Louis II in Monaco with goals from Kaka and Thiago Silva. Gram miner.

   "Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the European Super Cup, with a bonus of 10 million euros."

   After the game, Chen Ran and the Crystal Palace players didn't have the heart to celebrate, and flew back to London overnight.

   After returning to London, Chen Ran did not let the players go home, but dragged the entire team to the hotel to sleep and rest.

The training after    is also based on recovery and relaxation.

   On August 30, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace to Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium.

   Chelsea, who do not need to play in the European Super Cup, take it easy. Ancelotti also dispatched the entire main lineup, ready to make a big vote when the Crystal Palace schedule is unfavorable.

   striker Drogba, striker Anelka

   Pirlo

   MF Deco, MF Ballack, MF Lampard

   Left-back Ashley Cole, center-back Terry, center-back Carvalho, right-back Ivanovic

   Goalkeeper Cudicini

   On the Crystal Palace side, because the main players have just finished playing the European Super Cup and have not recovered, Chen Ran can only make a large rotation of the starting lineup.

   striker Suarez, striker Vardy

   MF Mascherano, MF Cesc Fabregas, MF Beckham

   Left-back Evra, center-back Kompany, center-back Thiago Silva, center-back Pepe, right-back Alves

   Goalkeeper Cech

   Except for Thiago Silva and Cech, all the others are substitutes.

   When Ancelotti saw this starting list, he couldn't help but secretly happy. With such a large rotation, it seems that Chelsea will hopefully teach Crystal Palace a profound lesson this time.

  When the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, Ancelotti immediately greeted the Chelsea players to press the attack heavily.

   On the Crystal Palace side, they also took the initiative to shrink the formation according to Chen Ran's plan. Except for the two strikers, Suarez and Vardy, who were cruising around the middle circle, the other players all retreated to their own half.

   This time, Chelsea completely grasped the initiative on the field and formed a siege of Crystal Palace.

  Actually, Chen Ran's tactics used in this match were very simple, that is, Tian Ji's horse racing.

   First, in the first half of the game, use substitute players to consume the physical fitness of Chelsea's main players.

   Then he waited until the opponent's physical strength declined in the second half, and then he put the killers such as Ronaldo and Messi on the court.

   Ancelotti is not a fool, he also vaguely guessed Chen Ran's intention.

   It's just that this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use an all-main lineup of Chelsea against an almost all-reserve lineup of Crystal Palace.

   Therefore, even though Ancelotti knew that Chen Ran had dug a hole for him, he still jumped in resolutely.

   Now, it's up to Chelsea to get past Crystal Palace's goal before their fitness declines.

   Ancelotti had already thought about it for a long time, and he could only take the lead. Even if there was only one goal, he immediately ordered Chelsea to shrink the defense and put the bus on the bus.

   Now, it depends on whether Chelsea's spear first pierced Crystal Palace's shield, or whether Crystal Palace's shield resisted Chelsea's spear, and then staged a Jedi counterattack.
