Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 394 Gives Qataris a Choice

"The game against Liverpool the day after tomorrow, we must win. Not only to win, but also to score as many goals as possible."

"We're five points ahead of Liverpool now and if we win this game we'll be eight points ahead of them."

"At that time, with five league rounds left, Crystal Palace will basically be sure of winning the Premier League title this season."

"Although the Qataris are very rich, they are not fools. Without the hope of winning the championship, it is naturally impossible to buy Liverpool at a high price."

"And those two Americans are now waiting to sell Liverpool at a high price, so that they can take the money back to the United States to solve their own debt crisis."

"If the Qataris' bids do not meet their psychological expectations, the deal may run aground."

Chen Ran sorted out his plans one by one for Little Fatty Louis, which made Louis nod repeatedly.

"Chen, your method is good, and it is indeed very likely to achieve the result you want. But what if one of them makes a concession?"

Fatty Louis changed the subject and began to help Chen Ran check and make up for the omissions.

"So you still need to do one more thing, which is to find out if there is any club owner who wants to cash out. If there is a suitable one, we can help the Qataris to match up."

"Now is the time when the financial tsunami is at its most destructive. I believe that the owners of many football clubs have also suffered heavy losses. Let's help the two Americans find some competitors, so that the Qataris can also have a choice."

"Hey, Chen, you are so bad. If you let those two Americans know what you did, they will go crazy."

Fatty Louis looked at Chen Ran with a smirk on his face, as if he was worthy of you.

"Ahem, you are blatantly slandering, I just don't want to see those Qataris being slaughtered by the hateful Yankees as fat sheep."

Chen Ran glared at the little fat man in displeasure, why can't this guy's problem of talking nonsense be corrected?
"By the way, remember to look for those famous clubs. They must be teams whose home games are in big cities. Those Qataris have a lot of money, and they don't look down on small teams. For example, Paris Saint-Germain is good, understand?"

"Eh, have you even thought about your goal?"

Fatty Louis covered his forehead and looked at Chen Ran speechlessly.

"Just an example, understand? But Paris Saint-Germain is indeed a good target."

"ok, I get it."

On April 4, Crystal Palace ushered in the most important Premier League game of the season.

If they can win Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium, they can basically lock the Premier League title this season.

Therefore, this game has also attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

Within three days, Crystal Palace's home court was once again surrounded by countless fans.

Although Chen Ran told Little Fatty Louis that he must win the game, but in fact the players he has available are increasingly stretched.

Suarez and Vardy, who used the "first-level chicken blood card" in the last game, must not continue to use it now.

Moreover, the physical examination report showed that the main players who had just fought against Real Madrid two days ago, their current physical condition has not recovered at all.

Faced with this situation, Chen Ran had no choice but to turn on the system, and gave Yaya Toure and Mascherano the two midfielders with the most physical energy consumption, respectively using a "Level [-] Recovery Card" to let them continue to persevere. Contest.

Then, Chen Ran used a "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card" for Dzeko, planning to let him be the surprise soldier in this game.

For this reason, he also called Dzeko to the office for a single chat before the game.

"Edin, for the next game against Liverpool, I will let you serve as the starting center and give you the 'right to fire'. You have to seize this rare opportunity and perform well, understand?"

"Boss, do you mean like Suarez and Vardy in the last game?"

Upon hearing Chen Ran's arrangement, Dzeko's eyes lit up.

"That's right, you guessed it too?" Chen Ran glanced at Dzeko in surprise.

"Hey, boss, that guy Suarez told me."

Dzeko touched the back of his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"This guy"

Upon hearing Suarez's name, Chen Ran shook his head helplessly.

This kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

Not long after returning to the Crystal Palace, after getting acquainted with his teammates, he began to play pranks from time to time.

Fortunately, he has a cheerful personality and is a social cow, so he is not annoying.

"Since you already know, then I don't need to say more. After this game, you will have a downturn period of three games. So, take advantage of this rare opportunity."

"Understood, boss, I will not let you down."

After arranging the trump card, Chen Ran formed a set of the strongest lineup that Crystal Palace can play now.

Left midfielder Messi, midfielder Cesc Fabregas, right midfielder Alves

Left back Evra, center back Thiago Silva, center back Vidic, right back Maicon

On the Liverpool side, Benitez is also under tremendous pressure now.

After talking with the two American bosses, he knew that the outcome of every Liverpool game in the future may be directly related to the future of the club.

Although the two American bosses don't understand football, they treat him well and delegate power very happily.The current day-to-day management of the Liverpool club is basically a discussion between him and CEO Ian Ayre.

However, Benitez also clearly knows that Liverpool has now reached a moment when it must change.The huge debt may crush the club at any time.

If you can't find a new owner with strong funds, then the Liverpool club may not survive the next season and will go bankrupt.

And those two American bosses said very bluntly, as long as the price meets their requirements, they can immediately sell all the shares of Liverpool Club.

Therefore, Benitez is now trying his best to win every game.For nothing else, just to get Liverpool Club out of the crisis of bankruptcy as soon as possible.

After making the decision to give up the Champions League and strive for the Premier League title, they were unexpectedly eliminated by Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Champions League two days ago.

However, Liverpool, which rotated in that game, also gave the main players a chance to breathe.Recharge your batteries and prepare for a showdown with Crystal Palace.

After all, if they win Crystal Palace in this game, they will only be two points behind their opponents.

In the remaining five rounds of the Premier League, Crystal Palace still has a strong dialogue with Manchester United.

What's more, Crystal Palace is now full of injuries and competing for the Premier League championship. Liverpool is not without a chance.

Benitez, who has repeatedly studied the schedules of the two teams, decided to use the tactic of placing the bus to consume the physical energy of the Crystal Palace.Wait until the Crystal Palace has a decline in physical fitness, and then change formations to launch a general attack.

Benitez firmly believes that Crystal Palace, which had just played against Real Madrid two days ago, is definitely not as fit as Liverpool, who has undergone a rotation.

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Chen Ran immediately discovered Benitez's intentions.

Damn, these so-called famous coaches, these so-called wealthy clubs, why don't they all start to want FACE.

It’s fine for a weak team to set up a bus, but Liverpool is an old strong team anyway, why do you set up a bus when you meet Crystal Palace now?
Is there any ideal?
Is there any pursuit left?

However, being depressed, Chen Ran immediately adjusted the Crystal Palace's tactics.

Liverpool left a striker Torres in front. Although he is very strong, it is too wasteful for Crystal Palace to use four defenders to defend him.

So, Chen Ran called Southgate over.

"Gareth, you are now going to inform Messi and Alves of the premise of the positions, and they will be the left and right wingers respectively."

"Then let Evra and Maicon move forward to serve as left and right wingbacks respectively. The team's formation has also changed from 4231 to 253."

"As for Torres, Thiago Silva is in charge of marking, and Vidic is on the side for assisting protection."

Southgate was stunned and couldn't help but disagree with Chen Ran.

"Boss, are you sure you want the team to play a 253 formation? Is this too aggressive?"

"Gareth, you've also read the physical examination reports of the players. If we can't take the lead as soon as possible, who would benefit from delaying the game until the second half?"

Chen Ran looked at his assistant, and nodded to him earnestly.

"Well, it's probably good for Liverpool, after all, they made a rotation in the Champions League match two days ago." Southgate now seemed to understand Chen Ran's intentions.

"So, this is also an important reason why Benitez set up the bus as soon as he came up. I guess, this guy waited for the physical fitness of our players to decline in the second half of the game, and then launched a general attack."

"I see."

Southgate nodded, and immediately got up and went to the sidelines to convey Chen Ran's latest instructions.

Soon, everyone saw the formation change on the Crystal Palace side.

Whether it was the fans or the game commentator, there was an uproar.

Damn, this really doesn't take Liverpool seriously.

Isn't Crystal Palace afraid of the opponent's counterattack?
Just as everyone was talking about the Crystal Palace change, Benitez frowned on the sidelines.

He felt that the Chinese man seemed to have seen through his intentions and was about to launch a general attack ahead of time.

The next process of the game quickly confirmed that Benitez's judgment was correct, and Crystal Palace launched an overwhelming onslaught against Liverpool's defense.

Especially Dzeko, who had been tepid in the Crystal Palace team before, suddenly showed the level of a top center forward, tossing Liverpool's defense into a miserable state.

When Messi broke through the defense of Liverpool right-back Arbeloa on the left, he successfully sent the ball to Liverpool's penalty area.

Dzeko jumped high under the front and back double-teaming of Agger and Skrtel, and grabbed the ball abruptly.

"boom!"

Dzeko shook his head and hit the goal, pushing the ball heavily towards the upper right corner of Liverpool's goal.

Reina's reaction was extremely fast, and he leaped forward with a flying dive, throwing the ball out.

At this time, Messi's keen sense of smell in front of the goal was fully displayed.

Before everyone else, he rushed to the vicinity of the ball's landing point, and volleyed the ball.

"boom!"

At this time, Reina had just finished making saves and hadn't had time to get up, so he could only watch the ball fly from his side into Liverpool's net.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

With Messi's supplementary shot, Crystal Palace led Liverpool 1-0 at home.

On the sidelines, Benitez blushed.

Messi's goal immediately disrupted his pre-match deployment.

Now should we immediately launch a general attack to bring the score back, or continue to use the bus according to the original plan, and wait until the physical fitness of the Crystal Palace players declines before making a move?

Watching the Crystal Palace players frantically celebrate their goal, two thoughts collided fiercely in Benitez's mind.

If you continue to take the bus, even after the physical fitness of the Crystal Palace players declines, Liverpool will equalize the score.

But the draw doesn't mean much to Liverpool now.After all, there are only five rounds left in the Premier League, Liverpool is still five points behind Crystal Palace, and Benitez himself has no confidence that he can catch up with Crystal Palace in five rounds.

After much deliberation, Benitez decided to give it a go.

He moved the right back Arbeloa forward to play the right midfielder, then moved the central defender Carragera to play the right back, and then let the right midfielder Dirk Dirk to the front and served as a double forward with Torres.

Seeing Benitez's changes and adjustments, Chen Ran immediately walked from the bench to the sidelines and called Alves who was closest to him.

"Dani, you and Messi immediately go back to play at full-back, and then let Evra and Maicon go back to play at full-back."

"Let Cesc Fabregas retreat and play as a defensive midfielder with Yaya Toure and Mascherano. The team's formation has also changed from 253 to 451, starting to play defensive counterattack tactics, understand? ?”

"Understood, boss."

Soon, Benitez saw the changes in the positions of the Crystal Palace players, and he felt powerless when he watched from the sidelines.

Fxxxk!

The response of this Chinese man was too fast, and the adjustments he made were very targeted, and they were simply impeccable.

The first half of the game is not over yet, it is a bit too early to make a substitution.Benitez decided to wait and see if the Liverpool players on the field could surprise him.

On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran returned to the bench and sat down after finishing the adjustments.

Now, it's his turn to drive the bus.
