Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 423
Just one day later, the No.16 round of the Premier League will start again.This time, Crystal Palace will face Fulham at the Emirates Stadium.

Fortunately, Crystal Palace won the top [-] places in the Champions League in advance, and can rotate in the final round of the game, otherwise the players will definitely be exhausted by such a perverted schedule.

Crystal Palace, who played with all the main players, easily defeated Fulham 3:1 at home with the goals of Ronaldo, Messi and Yaya Toure.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level One Blood Card" from the system.

而在本轮英超联赛的其他比赛里，切尔西在斯坦福桥3：2力克埃弗顿，曼联在主场1：0小胜阿斯顿维拉，曼城也在客场3：2险胜博尔顿。

As for Liverpool, they lost 1:2 to Arsenal at Anfield, as if they were on a slide and couldn't stop the downward momentum.

Still in the VIP box at Anfield, the chairman of the Liverpool club, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, watched the entire game with a gloomy face. He couldn't remember how many times he had seen Liverpool lose.

"Antero, you can contact Guardiola again. As long as he is willing to come over and take over Liverpool now, he can ask for any conditions."

Nasser Al-Khelaifi turned to sporting director Antero Enrique.

"Okay, Mr. Chairman. However, with all due respect, the hope is not high. Otherwise, let's contact another coach?"

Antero Enrique is also speechless about the current results of the Liverpool club.Why can't this Benitez live up to his expectations?Anyway, stay until the end of the season.

"Other coaches? Comparable to Guardiola?"

Nasser Al-Khelaifi stopped Antero Enrique in one sentence.

After hesitating for a while, Antero Enrique insisted on naming his candidate.

"Mr. Chairman, what do you think of the Barcelona coach Rijkaard before Guardiola? He led Barcelona to the Champions League trophy."

"The most important thing is that this Rijkaard is not coaching any club and can come over and take over Liverpool at any time."

"Rijkaard?"

At Nasser Al-Khelaifi's age, as long as he is a football fan, it is impossible not to know the reputation of the "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands".

And Rijkaard did lead Barcelona to win the La Liga and Champions League championship trophies, which is also a real achievement.

Even though Guardiola's rising momentum is very obvious now, he has only won the La Liga championship so far.

Thinking of this, Nasser Al-Khelaifi became a little tempted.

After weighing repeatedly for a long time between Guardiola and Rijkaard, Nasser Al-Khelaifi finally made up his mind.

"Antero, you should contact Guardiola first. If he is willing to come and take over Liverpool now, then we will still implement the original plan."

"If Guardiola still insists on staying at Barcelona until the end of the season, then you contact Rijkaard and invite him to coach our Liverpool."

"Okay, Mr. Chairman."

Seeing that his boss was finally willing to change his mind, Antero Enrique was also greatly relieved.

You must know that Nasser Al-Khelaifi has identified Guardiola alone before, which makes Antero Enrique extremely difficult when negotiating with Guardiola's agent, his brother Pere Guardiola. Passive, it can be said that it is completely controlled by Pere Guardiola, and he can take whatever he wants.

Moreover, Nasser Al-Khelaifi also agreed to let Pere Guardiola serve as the transfer consultant of the Liverpool club. This can be said to be a direct transfer of power from Antero Enrique, which also makes Antero Enrique Rick was very upset.

After getting Nasser Al-Khelaifi's Shangfang sword, Antero Enrique immediately called Pere Guardiola.

On the phone, Antero Enrique first chatted with Pere Guardiola about irrelevant things for a long time, and then asked lightly if Guardiola could come over to take over Liverpool now .

Pere Guardiola didn't take this call seriously, because the Liverpool club hoped that Guardiola would go to coach as soon as possible, and the other party raised it not once or twice.

Pere Guardiola thought it was the same as before. After all, Antero Enrique's tone sounded hopeless, more like a routine, so Pere Guardiola also followed the previous answer Deal with Antero Enrique.

During this period of time, Pere Guardiola has also been paying attention to the performance of the Liverpool club, knowing that the opponent's performance has declined sharply.

But for Pere Guardiola, this is exactly what he wants to see most now.

Because, only the worse the performance of the Liverpool club, the higher the conditions he can put forward for his brother after the end of the season.

Therefore, as long as there is no relegation, Pere Guardiola can't wait for Liverpool to lose more games.

Thus, Antero Enrique and Pere Guardiola, who had their own ulterior motives, one intentionally and the other unintentionally, hastily ended this phone call that could change the future world football pattern.

After hanging up on Pere Guardiola's phone call, Antero Enrique smiled contentedly, and then immediately called Rijkaard's agent.

After only three days of rest after the game against Fulham, Crystal Palace ushered in the No. 17 round of the Premier League.This time, they will sit at home against Arsenal.

After selling the team's two main players Adebayor and Kolo Toure at a high price in the summer, Arsenal still maintained a good combat effectiveness under Wenger's training.

Now both Arsenal players and fans have recognized the reality, that is, the Arsenal club only wants to make good money, and has no intention of competing for the championship at all.

Therefore, Arsenal's games are pleasing to the eye, no matter how strong their opponents are, they never put the bus on the line.This is also an important reason why they can maintain the most expensive tickets in the Premier League without a championship.

Even in the face of the Crystal Palace game, Wenger did not change his usual tactical play, and sent all the main players to fight against the Crystal Palace.

I have to admit that although Arsenal sells their main players every year, Coach Wenger's vision in selecting players is really admirable.

He can always introduce new players at a lower price to make up for the vacancy left after the main players leave, and he can also keep the team's strength above a certain level.

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Arsenal's attack line of Van Persie, Nasri, Arshavin, Rosicky and Walcott immediately caused a lot of trouble for Crystal Palace's defense.

These guys have distinct characteristics, some are fast, some have good skills, some have strong organizational skills, and some have strong scoring ability.For a while, the Crystal Palace's defense line was in a hurry.

In order to deal with the extremely fast Walcott, Chen Ran deliberately put the slow Chiellini on the bench and let the faster Evra start.

As a result, Evra still failed to guard Walcott, and the little guy used his speed to successfully break through the bottom pass.

In the penalty area, although Van Persie failed to grab the ball under the front and rear pincers of Vidic and Thiago Silva.But under his interference, Vidic also failed to fully exert his strength to push the ball far.

Outside the penalty area, Arshavin and Rosicky were waiting for a long-range shot. Under the close pressure of Yaya Toure and Mascherano, neither of them could touch the ball.

At this time, Alexander Song, who was in charge of defense in Arsenal's 4141 formation, suddenly rushed up and volleyed against the bounced ball.

Petr Cech, whose sight was blocked by a group of people in front of him, reacted half a beat later. It was too late for him to make any moves after seeing the ball, so he could only watch the ball fly into the Crystal Palace net.Arsenal took the lead in breaking the deadlock, leading Crystal Palace 1-0.

Being able to lead Crystal Palace in the game is now a very rare thing for many teams.

Just as the Arsenal players were celebrating the goal, Wenger's assistant, Pata Rice, came to his side.

"Arsena, we managed to lead Crystal Palace, how about shrinking the lineup and playing defensive counterattack?"

Turning to look at his old partner, Wenger smiled and shook his head.

"Pat, do you think our Arsenal's defensive ability can withstand the attack of Crystal Palace?"

"It's a big deal, let's slow down the pace of the game. Even if we can't win the Crystal Palace, we must at least strive for a draw."

"Pat, you have to remember that the reason why our Arsenal can still gain a foothold in the Premier League now is to rely on the pleasing game process."

"When the team is not strong enough to compete for the championship, if we also start setting up buses, will there still be fans who are willing to spend so much money to watch our games?"

"This is a major matter related to the life and death of the club. Compared with the gains and losses of a game, I don't need to say more about it."

After hearing Wenger's words, Pat Rice was completely honest.

He is just an assistant coach, and he pays more attention to the game itself.As the core figure of the Arsenal club, Wenger sees things at different levels.

Therefore, everyone can see that after Arsenal took the lead, they did not immediately shrink their defense and put on the bus like other teams.Instead, he continued to play against Crystal Palace as before the goal.

"Arsenal actually continued to attack after taking the lead. Could it be that they still want to continue to expand the score? Is Coach Wenger confused?"

On the Crystal Palace side, seeing Arsenal's performance on the field, Southgate found it incredible.

"Who knows? Maybe it's the coaching style of coach Wenger."

Next to him, Simeone, who has always paid attention to defense, is also puzzled.

Chen Ran, the owner and head coach of the Crystal Palace club, can of course guess why Wenger did this.

For the survival of the Arsenal club, Wenger had to make compromises in many places.

However, such a situation is obviously beneficial to the Crystal Palace, and Chen Ran is naturally happy to see the result.

The first half of the game was not over yet, Ronaldo made a strong breakthrough on the left side of Sarnia's defense and made a pass from the bottom.

In the penalty area, Tony grabbed the ball under the attack of Vermaelen and William Gallas. A lion shook his head and broke through the goal guarded by Almunia, tying the score to 1:1.

During the intermission, Chen Ran didn't make any substitutions and adjustments other than giving the players blood as usual.

On the Arsenal side, Wenger replaced the winger Walcott with the Danish high center Bendtner.

Let Bendtner and Van Persie partner as double forwards, Nasri as left midfielder, and Rosicky as right midfielder, changing the team's formation from 4141 to diamond 442, and continue to strengthen the offense.

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal, who replaced the new force, continued to fight against Crystal Palace.The game was well played and exciting.

However, when the game progressed to 10 minutes, when the physical fitness of the Arsenal players dropped significantly, Messi passed Clichy through the crotch and went directly into the Arsenal penalty area.

Facing William Gallas who came to defend him, Messi made a fake shot and dunked. After passing the opponent, only goalkeeper Almunia was left in front of him.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Almunia had no choice but to abandon the goal and attack Messi.

Messi flicked his ankle lightly, and the ball drew a parabola from Almunia's head to Arsenal's goal.

Seeing that the ball was about to fly into the empty goal, Vermaelen rushed back in time and flew up to hook the ball from the goal line.

At this time, Ronaldo also rushed over, ready to block the ball into the goal with his body.

"boom!"

"what!"

Vermaelen hooked the ball, but Ronaldo also arrived at the same time.

The ball smacked heavily in Ronaldo's chest before bouncing back into Arsenal's net.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

Relying on Ronaldo's flying body to block the hole of the gun, Crystal Palace overtook Arsenal 2:1.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level [-] Recovery Card" from the system.

After the end of this round of the Premier League, an explosive news attracted everyone's attention.
