Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 111 "Gou" God or Chen "Gou"?

   Chapter 111 "Gou" God or Chen "Gou"?

   No matter how many contests there are off the pitch, football still has to be divided on the pitch in the final analysis.

   A week later, Chen Ran ushered in the eighth round of the Premier League, and Crystal Palace played against Fulham at home.

Fulham is a team that has been in the Premier League relegation line all the year round. The biggest player in the team is Andy Cole, who just joined from Blackburn this season. .

  Other players like French midfielder Mar Blanco, Poland international Razinski, Portugal international Boa Mote and other players are also considered to be powerful players.

   Coach Coleman is a former Wales international who retired from Fulham in 2002 and became the head coach of Fulham in 2003.

   He is only thirty-four years old now, and is a veritable young marshal. In his previous life in 2018, he even went to a club in northern China as a head coach.

   In the face of such a Fulham team, and they were playing at home again, Chen Ran had nothing to worry about, so he dispatched an attacking lineup.

   Center Tony

   Left midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo, midfielder Modric, right midfielder Ribery

   Fabregas, midfielder, Simeone

  Left-back Chiellini, centre-back Gareth Southgate, centre-back Vidic, right-back Maicon

   Goalkeeper Cech

   When seeing the Crystal Palace lineup, Fulham head coach Coleman felt a chill.

   As a young coach, although he lacks experience, his diligent study has made up for this shortcoming for him.

  Crystal Palace's tactical play is now firmly imprinted in Coleman's mind.

  What player Chen Ran sends, he can immediately know what tactics Crystal Palace is going to use.

   The current starting lineup sent by Crystal Palace makes Coleman immediately understand that this game is difficult for him.

   As expected, Crystal Palace launched a fierce attack at the beginning.

The    attack went from wave to wave, suffocating the Fulham defence.

   Coleman, who was standing on the sidelines, could only watch every attack of Crystal Palace on the court in a hurry.

  Because he has sent Fulham's strongest lineup, the tactics are also adopted to shrink in his own half to play defensive counterattacks.

After    has exhausted the cards that can be used in his hand, whether he can resist the offensive of Crystal Palace can only see the performance of the Fulham players on the field.

   At this time, Coleman's heart rate seems to be changing with the rhythm of Crystal Palace's attack.

   As the game played more and more, the Crystal Palace players became more and more proficient in Guardiola's tactics.

  Chen Ran, who was standing on the sidelines, watched with relief the players on the field skillfully tearing apart Fulham's defense, looking for any exposed loopholes.

   This is the result of more than a year of training for the entire team.

  Thinking of this, Chen Ran's thoughts drifted off the court again.

  If the Crystal Palace players can resist the temptation outside and no one is willing to leave, then this time the slaughter plan may be put on hold for the time being.

   Those transfer fees are worth not earning.

  Chen Ran made this important decision secretly.

   After all, it is not easy to build a team with super combat effectiveness, and Chen Ran will not lose the big for the sake of making money.

   "How to choose is up to you."

   Looking at the familiar faces on the field, Chen Ran muttered to himself.

   In the 29th minute of the game, the ball came to Ronaldo's feet again.

   This time, he didn't play any tricks, and directly used his speed to eat Fulham's German full-back Waltz.

When    brought the ball close to the baseline, Ronaldo passed the ball into Fulham's penalty area before Waltz stretched his leg to block.

Fulham's two central defenders, Knight and Goma, worked hard to clamp Tony, but none of the three could jump up. The ball slid in front of Fulham's goal and fell to point later.

"boom!"

   A small figure suddenly flashed out.

   It turned out that Ribery, who was on the right, rushed into the penalty area, grabbed in front of Fulham's other defender Jenson, and made a diving header, pushing the ball into the goal guarded by De Broni.

   "Goal"

  Crystal Palace lead Fulham 1-0.

   Fulham took every precaution and targeted Tony very well, but ignored Ribery, who had always been unrelated to headers, so angry that Coleman jumped on the sidelines.

After    scored the first goal, Crystal Palace, who opened up the situation, played even more with ease.

  Chen Ran stretched out his hand and waved in the direction of Crystal Palace's goal. Now he doesn't need to speak, the players know what he means.

  Crystal Palace's players now know what kind of person their coach is. As long as the task is completed, he will not give up any more effort.

   When Fulham kicked off again, they found that Crystal Palace did not continue to press the attack, but had already retracted their own half and played a defensive counterattack.

  Colman has seriously studied Chen Ran's tactical style of play. When he saw what happened on the court, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

   Because he knows that, compared to attacking, defensive counterattacks are actually Crystal Palace's housekeeping skills.

  Last season, Crystal Palace won the Championship and the League Cup by relying on defensive counterattacks and twin tower tactics.

  Colman asked himself, if Fulham pressed out to attack now, can Fulham cope with Crystal Palace's defensive counterattack?

   shook his head secretly, although he was reluctant to admit it, but Coleman knew that he was not sure at all.

   In fact, before the game, Coleman had already made plans for possible unfavorable situations in the game.

   Now, he had to adopt one of them.

   is very simple, that is to pretend that nothing happened.

  Fulham, continue to execute the previous defensive counter-attack tactics, as if that conceded goal does not exist.

  Because Coleman has thought about it carefully, it is not a shame to lose a goal to the league leaders, and he can fully explain the past.

   But if he loses three or four at a time, then the pressure on him will be great, and he may not be able to keep the head coach position, which has not yet been established.

  So, Chen Ran saw that after the restart of the game, Fulham was still huddled in his own half, and he had no intention of taking the initiative to attack and tie the score.

   "Yo, this Coleman is quite sensible."

   Chen Ran was also a little surprised, didn't they all say that young people are easily impulsive?

  How come these young coaches he meets are more cunning than the last, and they are not fooled at all.

   This Coleman is so calm in the face of difficulties, without any emotional adjustment.

   This young man has a future.

  Chen Ran looked at the Fulham bench in the distance with approval, then returned to the Crystal Palace bench and sat down.

   Today's game, it seems that there is no suspense.

   There are not many troops on both sides to attack, so the game is naturally not good-looking.

   However, the Crystal Palace fans at home did not care about this at all.

   Now as long as Crystal Palace can continue their Premier League winning streak, they are already very happy.

   As for the process of the game is not exciting enough?

   That doesn't matter, we Crystal Palace fans are not so hypocritical.

  Selhurst Park has been singing since the start of the game. As if they came here not to watch the game, but to attend a large concert.

  The reporters in the stands looked at each other in dismay.

  Why is this the case again?

   As soon as you take the lead, you retract back to play a defensive counterattack. Do you have any higher pursuits for Crystal Palace?

   "This Chinese man's coaching philosophy is too utilitarian."

   "Yeah, if he did what he did, would he still be able to watch the game?"

   "Yes, we must condemn him together for this kind of behavior."

   "However, it is understandable for Crystal Palace to play a defensive counterattack after taking the lead. Why are Fulham already behind, or continue to adopt a defensive counterattack?"

   "That's right. This Coleman is a coward. He must be frightened by that Chinese man's winning streak."

   "This Coleman became the head coach of Fulham as soon as he retired. It is estimated that he has no experience. It is impossible to expect him to make some difficulties for the Chinese."

   "Alas, if Crystal Palace wins this game again, it will be an eight-game winning streak in the Premier League. This is also terrible, and I don't know who can stop them from moving forward."

   "Yeah. Now Crystal Palace is setting a new record every time they win a game."

   "Don't sigh anymore, let's think about how to write the manuscript after the game."

   "How else can I write? It's nothing more than touting the Chinese and the Crystal Palace."

   "Oh, I have to write this again. When will these days end!"

   At halftime, Chen Ran simply replaced Cesc Fabregas with Yaya Toure, and at the same time pulled Modric back to the position of the midfielder, and played a complete defensive counterattack.

   And Coleman also persevered in his determination to play dead, without making any changes.

  So, the game in the second half was still calm.

   Both teams used their only strikers to attack, and naturally it was difficult for them to score goals.

   As expected by the reporters, Crystal Palace finally relied on the header of the little man Ribery to win the game 1-0 at home against the visiting Fulham, and won the game evenly.

   While creating an eight-game winning streak in the Premier League, it also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of 2 million euros.

   In other matches in the eighth round of the Premier League, Arsenal beat Charlton 4-0 at home and resumed their crazy scoring state.

   In the highlight of this round, Mourinho led Chelsea to beat Benitez-coached Liverpool 1-0 at home.

  Ferguson's Manchester United failed to win the game again and was drawn 1:1 by Middlesbrough at Old Trafford.

  Crystal Palace is now top of the list with 24 points in eight games.

   Arsenal followed with 22 points with seven wins and one draw, while Chelsea ranked third with six wins, one draw and one loss with 19 points.

   As the top three teams have all won the game, the gap between them has not changed.

   The situation is still very anxious.

  The fans who follow Chen Ran and Crystal Palace are also very excited.

  The league started with eight consecutive victories, not to mention the highly competitive Premier League. Even in the league of any country, that's an amazing result.

   "I didn't expect it. This Chen Ran is really powerful. A little-known Crystal Palace, he was just brought to this point."

   "Yeah, I originally only paid attention to this team because the owner of Crystal Palace was our Chinese talents. Who knows now it's out of control. I've never lost the game of Crystal Palace, and I have boiled out the dark circles under my eyes."

   "That's right, I've watched every Crystal Palace game. That Chen Ran's tactics are too stupid. As soon as he takes the lead, he immediately retreats to play a defensive counterattack."

   "It's quite a chicken thief. Several times I have seen the opponent's head coach get furious, but there is no way to take Crystal Palace."

   "What kind of chicken thief? Can you talk? This is too ugly. He should be called 'gou' for this kind of behavior, understand?"

   "Gou? What do you mean?"

   "Gou, the one who steals your life!"

   "Hey, don't say it, this word is quite vivid to describe Chen Ran's tactical style."

   "Dude, the word 'gou' has far-reaching connotations, and it's a perfect way to describe Chen Ran."

   "I decided. If Chen Ran can lead Crystal Palace to the Premier League title this season, I will call him 'Gou' God. If he doesn't win the championship, I will call him Chen 'Gou'."

   "Fuck, it's up to Chen Ran to decide whether it is the **** 'Gou' or Chen 'Gou'."

   "Hahaha, that's a good idea. I shouted that too."

  “+1”

  “+2”

  “.”

  “+10086”

   Chen Ran didn't know yet that he was already sharing the same name with a certain scumbag in a country thousands of miles away.

   As Crystal Palace continued to lead the Premier League standings, many players in the team also attracted the attention of their respective national team coaches, and were selected for the national team squad for the first time in their lives.

  Because of joining Crystal Palace, these players who changed the trajectory of their lives were selected for the national team for the first time much earlier than in their previous lives.

  Like Crouch, although only the main substitute of Crystal Palace, he was still recruited into the national team by the current England coach Eriksen.

   This is a full year earlier than when Crouch entered the national team in his previous life.

   This time, Chen Ran was completely free.

  Because almost all the players of the Crystal Palace first team were recruited by their respective national teams, even his assistant coaches Southgate and Simeone were not spared, leaving only Guardiola, who is in semi-retired state.

The players under    have been promoted to international players, but Chen Ran's mood is mixed, and it is difficult to be happy.

The advantage of    is, of course, that the value of these players has the blessing of international status, and the tide is rising.

   But there may be more disadvantages. First, frequent national team tasks are unavoidable in the future, which will make the Premier League schedule, which is already known for its intensive competition, worse.

  Secondly, with the opportunity to perform in the national team, these players may attract more tigers and hungry wolves.

   In the future, Chen Ran will be guarded not only by these giant clubs in England.
