MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 434 Do you believe it yourself?
Fortunately, Crystal Palace's offensive players are very powerful, when Ronaldo once again ran out of Bayern Munich's penalty area to receive Modric's pass.
He didn't stop the ball before Demichelis came up to close, but directly knocked the ball into Bayern Munich's penalty area with his heel.
At the same time, Messi on the right is also throwing off Alaba and charging forward to Bayern Munich's penalty area at high speed.
And Cristiano Ronaldo's heel pass was just right on the line that Messi forwarded.
Messi took the ball homeopathically and rushed directly towards the goal of Bayern Munich.
found that the situation was not good, central defender Van Buiten hurried over to make up for the defense.
Unfortunately, in front of Messi, Van Buiten, who is 196cm tall, is about the same as a wooden stake.
Messi flicked and dunked, and the ball passed between Van Buiten's legs.
After past Van Buiten, only Bayern Munich goalkeeper Bout was left in front of Messi.
Before another central defender, Bad Stubel, rushed over and flew to block the hole, Messi kicked the door directly.
"boom!"
Because the distance was too close, Bout simply had no time to react.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the ball flew into the net.
“goal!
”
With Messi's goal, Crystal Palace led Bayern Munich 2-0 away.
As soon as this second goal was scored, the Allianz Arena, which accommodated more than 70,000 Bayern Munich fans, suddenly fell silent.
On the sidelines, Van Gaal flushed with anger.
Just now, Bayern Munich's offense was about to take off, but it was interrupted by this goal all of a sudden.
Van Gaal even worried that in the next game, the morale of the Bayern Munich players would drop.
On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran immediately called Southgate to his side.
"Gareth, you go tell the players, don't relax just because they are two goals ahead, just keep attacking for me. Score as many goals as possible, understand?"
"Okay, boss."
Van Gaal soon discovered that Crystal Palace had no intention of stopping after the restart. And his own players, as he feared, were a little demoralized.
For a while, Van Gaal shouted anxiously on the sidelines, trying to boost the morale of the players on the field.
However, morale, although invisible and intangible, is real.
After being scored twice by Crystal Palace at home, Bayern Munich's players re-launched the attack under the constant encouragement of coach Louis van Gaal, but the effect is no longer comparable to before.
In the end, with Demichelis' own goal and Messi's goals, Crystal Palace defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 away.
At the same time as he got the initiative to advance to the Champions League final, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card" from the system.
After the game, thousands of miles away in China, despite having stayed up all night, many Crystal Palace fans still did not go to sleep, but continued to discuss the game in the post bar.
"Hahahaha, Crystal Palace is so strong! Without so many main players, they can still beat Bayern Munich away. It is worthy of being recognized as the strongest team in world football today."
…
"Since Yaya Toure and Mascherano were injured, I've been worried that Crystal Palace's midfield defense is too weak. I didn't expect Chen Ran to be so sturdy, that he used the method of attacking instead of defending. response."
"That's right. I didn't expect Chen Ran to do this in the away game against Bayern Munich. From the beginning to the end, there was absolutely no chance for Bayern Munich to breathe."
"Haha, this is called 'Surprisingly Winning', the nickname 'Chicken Thief Ran' is not for nothing."
"Chen Ran Niu Cha!"
While the domestic Crystal Palace fans are completely different, in England, the media are more interested in Crystal Palace's next game against Liverpool.
"Although Liverpool are destined to miss the Premier League trophy this season, they can decide who will win the trophy."
"Since Rijkaard took over Liverpool, the team's record has skyrocketed. If Benitez hadn't dug too deep in the first half of the season, maybe Liverpool are now competing with Crystal Palace for the Premier League title."
"Crystal Palace is now full of injuries and the players are extremely tired. And Liverpool have no other burdens except the Premier League. They are likely to beat Crystal Palace with their leisure time."
"Whether Crystal Palace can defend the Premier League title again depends on Liverpool's agreement."
After the match against Bayern Munich, Chen Ran rushed back to London with the Crystal Palace team.
Just two days apart, on April 24, Crystal Palace will play the 36th round of the Premier League with Liverpool at home.
After Rijkaard took over Liverpool, the team has been catching up with a wave of consecutive victories, and has now risen to sixth place in the standings.
With three games remaining in the league, Liverpool are five points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.
Although it is difficult to compete for the Champions League place next season, there is no problem in qualifying for the Europa League.
Of course, the Liverpool club, which invested 160 million euros in the winter transfer period, obviously will not be satisfied with just participating in the Europa League.
Despite knowing that Crystal Palace is very strong, Rijkaard still intends to take points from his opponent.
He has carefully studied all of Crystal Palace's recent games, knowing that the opponent is not in a good state due to the multiple effects of player injuries, as well as the fact that the schedule is too intensive and the players' physical strength is overdrawn.
On the Liverpool side, after the reinforcement of the winter transfer period, and they now have only one front in the Premier League, Liverpool can be said to recharge their batteries and wait for work, which makes Rijkaard very interested in this game. Have confidence.
And, in response to Crystal Palace's two big midfielders Yaya Toure and Mascherano both missing due to injury, Rijkaard gave Liverpool a full offensive starting lineup.
Striker Villa, striker Torres
Left midfielder David Silva, center midfielder Xavi Alonso, center midfielder Gerrard, right midfielder Maxi Rodriguez
Left-back Kolarov, center-back David Luiz, center-back Carragher, right-back Abeloa
…
Goalkeeper Reina
On the Crystal Palace side, the main players are basically in a state of extreme fatigue because the team has just played against Bayern Munich in Germany.
In desperation, Chen Ran could only make substantial adjustments to the starting lineup.
striker Dzeko, striker Cavani
Midfielder Suarez
Left midfielder Evra, right midfielder Vardy
Back waist Pepe
Left-back Chiellini, center-back Thiago Silva, center-back Kompany, right-back Alves
Goalkeeper Cech
Chen Ran, who knew that the team was in bad condition, bleeds heavily this time.
He used the “Level 1 Healing Card” for Cavani and Suarez at the same time, and also used the “Level 1 Healing Card” for Chiellini and Thiago Silva, who were fighting continuously.
And before the start of the game, Chen Ran also specifically explained to Cavani and Suarez that in this game they both have the "right to fire freely" and they can play whatever they want.
The reinforced Liverpool's strength has indeed been greatly improved. Among the starting eleven on the field, there are actually six Spain internationals.
You must know that in previous lives, these Spain internationals won the World Cup in South Africa this summer.
It is very clear that Crystal Palace's now weak midfield defense, Rijkaard, ordered Liverpool's players to press the attack with full force from the first minute of the game.
There is only one Crystal Palace midfielder with Pepe as a temporary guest in the midfield, which can't stop Liverpool's attack at all.
Just under 20 minutes into the game, Torres received a pass from David Silva and volleyed to break the goal guarded by Cech. Crystal Palace fell behind Liverpool 0:1 at home.
Fortunately, Chen Ran's "level 1 chicken blood card" was not in vain. Less than ten minutes after Liverpool scored, Cavani, who was at his peak, received a cross from Evra from the left, and then headed to the ball. The ball went back to Suarez.
Suarez didn't wait for the ball to land at all, and directly played a volley in Liverpool's penalty area.
"boom!"
Goalkeeper Reina was caught off guard, and by the time he made a save, the ball had already flown into the net.
“goal!
”
Crystal Palace made it 1-1 thanks to Suarez's world-beating goal.
However, Crystal Palace was not happy for long.
Just before the end of the first half of the game, Villa received a header from Torres and risked being kicked in the head by Thiago Silva. Thiago Silva stretched his foot to make a clearance. Before a diving header broke the goal guarded by Cech, Liverpool led Crystal Palace 2:1 again.
In the stands, many reporters attracted by this powerful conversation were even more excited than the Liverpool players on the field.
"Hahahaha, it's not easy, Crystal Palace has fallen behind Liverpool twice, is it really going to dawn?"
"This Rijkaard really has something, and he deserves to be the coach who can lead Barcelona to the Champions League."
"Ahem, the game is only halfway through, are you too happy to be too early?"
"This time is different from before. Crystal Palace's two main midfielders are now out due to injuries. If the midfield defense can't stand it, Liverpool might still be able to score in the second half."
…
"That's right. It's arguably the weakest point in Crystal Palace's defense, and Liverpool have a good chance of winning this game."
"If Crystal Palace lose this game and second-placed Chelsea win, then there will be only one point between them."
"Haha, there's a good show to watch now."
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, Liverpool must fight!"
At half-time, the atmosphere in the Crystal Palace dressing room was dignified because of the team's rare falling behind.
Chen Ran didn't mean to blame the players. He didn't make any substitution adjustments except for giving the players some blood as usual.
On the Liverpool side, it was rare to be able to lead Crystal Palace, making the entire dressing room full of laughter. Especially those old players who have been in the Premier League for many years, they are all excited.
Coach Rijkaard didn't stop the players from talking loudly, but just smiled and stood aside and listened quietly.
He also didn't make any substitution adjustments, other than encouraging the players to continue their efforts until the end of the break.
At the beginning of the second half, neither of the two teams stopped, and the fans were addicted to the intense offense.
When the game went to the 55th minute, Vardy's wide cross was pushed out of the penalty area by Liverpool's central defender David Luiz.
Suarez's volley from outside the penalty area was saved by goalkeeper Reina, and Cavani was just on the line of the ball.
Without any hesitation, Cavani immediately rose into the air, and an upside-down golden hook kicked the ball towards Liverpool's goal.
Goalkeeper Reina, who had just finished making a save, got up from the ground. Before he could react, he could only watch the ball fly into the net from in front of him.
“goal!
”
With Cavani's barb shot, Crystal Palace once again tied the score at 2:2, and the two teams were back on the same starting line.
However, the goal of this game is far from over.
Ten minutes later, Thiago Silva pushed a cross from Liverpool right midfielder Maxi Rodriguez out of the penalty area.
But outside the penalty area, Pepe did not arrive at the ball landing spot immediately, and Liverpool captain Gerrard volleyed the ball to meet the ball.
The ball jumped directly to the upper left corner of the Crystal Palace goal, Cech couldn't save it, and Crystal Palace fell behind Liverpool 2:3 again.
Just when everyone thought Liverpool were going to upset Crystal Palace, it was Cavani and Suarez, the Uruguayan strikers, who stood up again.
At the end of the game, Suarez bounced off Liverpool's post with a long shot from outside the box.
In the penalty area, Cavani reacted extremely quickly, directly extending his foot in the direction of the rebound of the ball.
"boom!"
As if playing table tennis, the ball bounced back to Liverpool's goal in an instant.
Goalkeeper Reina didn't have time to make a save, but subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the ball flew from his side into the net.
“goal!
”
With Cavani's supplementary shot, Crystal Palace equalized the score again 3:3.
In the end, with Suarez's goal and Cavani's brace, Crystal Palace drew with Liverpool 3:3 at home.
"Wang Defa! The Crystal Palace's life is too hard, isn't it? You can't even lose?"
"No way, Crystal Palace's players are too strong. Who would have thought that those two little-known young Uruguayan strikers would be so good?"
"Alas! The Chinese people's vision for selecting players is not acceptable."
"It seems that the Premier League champion this season will be Crystal Palace's again."
"That's not necessarily true. Chelsea and Manchester United have both won, and Chelsea beat Stoke City 7-0. This time their two teams are only two and three points behind Crystal Palace, and there are still two rounds left. The league is not completely hopeless."
"Hehe, Crystal Palace's opponents in the last two rounds are Birmingham and Tottenham Hotspur. Do you think Crystal Palace will lose points in front of these two opponents?"
"It is still possible for Tottenham Hotspur to beat Crystal Palace."
"Do you believe it yourself?"
