Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 363 roar

   Chapter 363 Roar

   As soon as the game started, Chen Ran immediately realized that something was wrong.

  Chelsea's entire formation retreated so far back, this special thing is to set up a bus!

   turned his head and glanced at the Chelsea bench not far away, Chen Ran suddenly had a realization in his heart: Fatty An is learning Lyon's tactical play against Crystal Palace, and he doesn't want to face the face at all.

   As Chen Ran expected, the game went very hard.

  Chelsea's overall strength is stronger than Lyon, and among the five midfielders sent by Ancelotti, Lampard, Ballack and Deco are all-round midfielders with excellent offense and defense.

   Coupled with Malouda, a winger, and Essien, a defensive fighter, although Chelsea’s formation was shrunk in their own half, they were both offensive and defensive, which made Crystal Palace have to keep one hand to guard against Chelsea’s counterattack when attacking.

   "This Ancelotti must have watched the Champions League match between Lyon and us."

   On the bench, Southgate and Simeone, who was sitting next to him, whispered.

   "That's probably the case. But with Chelsea's strength, our game is probably more difficult than the Lyon game."

  Simeone nodded slightly, and he also saw that Chelsea was imitating Lyon's tactical play.

   "Diego, you are best at defensive counter-attack tactics. Do you see if there are any loopholes in Chelsea's field now?"

   Among Chen Ran's three assistant coaches, Guardiola is good at attacking and Simeone is good at defending, so Southgate looks at Simeone with hope, hoping that he, a defensive expert, can find out the flaws in Chelsea.

   "At least I can't see it now."

   After a while of silence, Simeone shook his head helplessly.

   Ancelotti is a famous coach after all. Although he rarely rides the bus, it does not mean that he will not ride the bus.

   In addition, Chelsea's players are strong enough, which makes their defense like a hedgehog for Crystal Palace.

  Southgate and Simeone were unable to find a good way to break Chelsea's defense after a long discussion.

   At this time, Chen Ran, who was also sitting on the bench, was not in a hurry.

   Now more and more teams are putting on the bus when they play against Crystal Palace, and he has summed up a set of solutions.

   Swinging the bus is a physical task, and the physical consumption of defensive players can be much greater than that of conventional tactics.

   Therefore, Chen Ran usually consumes the opponent's physical strength in the first half, and then waits until the opponent's physical strength in the second half of the game decreases and the defense strength weakens before shooting.

   This time against Chelsea, Chen Ran still decided to use the same approach.

   However, in his heart, he was a little worried about the situation that Crystal Palace was facing now.

   Even a title contender like Chelsea started to put on the bus when they played against Crystal Palace, so will Manchester United and Lyon, who will face each other after this game, also adopt the same tactical approach?

   If these guys are on the bus, how long can the Crystal Palace players last?

   Just as Chen Ran was in deep thought, the game time was passing by every minute.

  Because Chelsea's defensive fence was strong enough, the score remained at 0:0 until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

   During the intermission, Southgate couldn't help but got close to Chen Ran and came up with an idea.

   "Boss, let's stop cooperating in passing and cutting. Let's just put Dzeko and Cavani on the field, and then use high-altitude bombing tactics to deal with Chelsea."

   "Among those Chelsea defenders, there is only one Terry who is tall and tall. The others are all average heights, and they must not be able to withstand our indiscriminate bombardment."

   "Gareth, your approach is very good. However, now is not the time. Wait a minute, it will be better for us to take shots when the Chelsea players' physical fitness declines, understand?"

   patted Southgate on the shoulder, Chen Ran encouraged him.

   "It turns out that, boss, you are still very powerful."

   Although Southgate's talent as a coach is not as good as that of Guardiola and Simeone, he is not a fool, and Chen Ran reacted immediately after a little bit of a call.

  Crystal Palace did not make any substitutions at half-time, and it was the same for Chelsea.

   Ancelotti was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half draw with Crystal Palace. He praised the Chelsea players in the dressing room and hoped that they would do better in the second half.

   Therefore, after the start of the second half, the situation on the field was the same as in the first half, and Crystal Palace surrounded Chelsea for half-time offensive and defensive drills.

  50 minutes, 55 minutes, 60 minutes

   I have to say that Chelsea players are indeed much stronger than Lyon.

   Lyon players have shown signs of decline in physical fitness at this time, but today Chelsea players, at least one by one, are still alive and kicking.

   However, Chen Ran has no plans to wait any longer.

   "Gareth."

   "Boss, are you going to shoot?"

   As soon as he heard Chen Ran's call, Southgate rushed over immediately.

"Yes, you go to inform Ribery to warm up and replace Maicon with him later. Then let Ronaldo and Tony form a double forward, and Ribery will replace Ronaldo to play left-back, and the team's formation has also changed from 4231 to 4231. 352."

   "Okay, boss!"

   Soon, Ancelotti saw the substitution of Crystal Palace, and he immediately remembered the video of the match between Crystal Palace and Lyon.

   That guy Chen Ran also made substitution adjustments at about this time, but Dzeko was replaced at the time, but now he pushed Ronaldo to the forward line.

   Considering that Ronaldo also has a height of 187CM, Ancelotti felt that Chen Ran wanted to replicate the high-altitude bombing tactics against Lyon.

   took a look at Chelsea's four defenders on the field, in addition to one Terry's height of 187CM, the other central defender Carvalho is 182CM.

   The two full-backs are even worse, Bosingwa is 180cm tall, and Ashley Cole is only 172cm.

   Wanting to rely on this defensive line to deal with the high-altitude bombing tactics of Crystal Palace, Ancelotti himself felt unreliable.

  After hesitating for a while, Ancelotti gritted his teeth. Since he had already set the bus without regard for his face, he would simply do it to the extreme.

  So, he decided to follow Lyon coach Perrin's practice again, and immediately turned around and called up the Serbian central defender Ivanovic with a height of 188CM from the bench.

   After a simple warm-up, Ancelotti replaced left midfielder Malouda with Ivanovic. The addition of a tall centre-back also changed Chelsea's formation from 451 to 541.

   Seeing Ancelotti's response, Chen Ran was more certain that this guy was learning the tactics of Lyon coach Perrin.

However, after Carlo Ancelotti replaced Malouda, the four midfielders in Chelsea now, whether Lampard, Ballack, Deco or Essien, are better at the central midfielder or the midfielder. What a speed advantage.

   In this way, Crystal Palace does not have to worry about Chelsea's quick counterattack.

  Thinking of this, Chen Ran, who had no worries, immediately decided to continue to strengthen the offensive.

   "Gareth."

   "Boss, what are your orders?"

   "Inform Alves immediately to warm up and replace Cesc Fabregas with him later, and then the team's formation will change from 352 to 3133."

   "Let Yaya Toure act as a single midfielder, Ribery and Alves as the left and right midfielders respectively, and Modric also plays the attacking midfielder."

   "You tell Ronaldo and Messi again, let them both play as left and right wingers beside Tony, and just stare at the gap between Chelsea's full-back and central defender."

   "Okay, boss."

  Chen Ran's adjustment again made Ancelotti frown.

   Before he saw Chen Ran transfer Cristiano Ronaldo to be the center with Tony, thinking that Crystal Palace still adopted high-altitude bombing tactics like they did against Lyon.

But now Chen Ran has put Cristiano Ronaldo back on the flank, and paired with Messi, Ribery, and Alves, who are good flank assaulters. This obviously puts the focus of the attack on the two flanks. I feel Ancelotti, who had been fooled by himself, suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.

   Chelsea's current four midfielders, but none of them are fast wing players. It would be very difficult for them to mark the few wingers who run faster than rabbits in Crystal Palace.

   Just when Ancelotti hesitated to make another substitution, the situation on the field has changed dramatically.

   Ribery on the left dribbled the ball along the touchline, and Essien, who is now the right midfielder, immediately rushed up to intercept.

  Ribery did not entangle with Essien, and directly passed the ball to Modric who ran from the middle to meet him, and then he bypassed Essien and continued forward.

  Modric blocked Deco, who was following him to defend, and passed the ball back to Ribery, who was advancing at high speed.

   Seeing that Ribery and Modric easily passed Essien with a two-to-one match, Chelsea's right-back Bosingwa hurried up to stop Ribery from continuing to break through.

   Cristiano Ronaldo, who is now playing on the left wing, immediately waved to Ribery to pass the ball to him after seeing Bosingwa leave his defense.

  Ribery passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo without any delay, then bypassed Bosingwa who was rushing up and continued forward.

   At this time, the benefits of Chelsea's five-back formation are revealed.

  Although the right defender Bosingwa left his position, there is still a right center defender Carvalho beside Cristiano Ronaldo who is marking.

   After receiving the pass from Ribery, Ronaldo did not act immediately.

  He first leaned on Carvalho with his body, and after Ribery came in from the wing, he tapped his heel lightly, and the ball just hit the line that Ribery was advancing.

   At this time, Carvalho's attention was all on Ronaldo, while Bosingwa was left behind by Ribery and desperately chased after him.

   Ribery, who was unstoppable in front of him, took the ball and headed straight into Chelsea's penalty area.

   This time, Terry, who found that his right defense was broken by Crystal Palace, had to leave Tony, who was in charge of marking, and rushed to block Ribery.

This made Ribery, who was watching the situation in Chelsea's penalty area while dribbling the ball, delighted. Just when he was about to pass the ball to Tony, who was now unmarked, he suddenly found that Chelsea's left central defender Ivanovic had made up for the defense in time. Tony's side.

   "Frank, give me the ball!"

   Just when Ribery was hesitating whether to continue passing the ball to Toni or just dribble the ball himself, Ronaldo’s annoying and familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.

  No way, every time we go out to play, Ronaldo, who has the absolute advantage in appearance, is always the most popular among girls, which makes Scarface Ribery full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

   So, Ribery doesn't need to look at all, just by listening to the voice, he knows that Ronaldo is calling him.

   As a teammate who has played together for several years, Ribery is a bit silly, but he is still convinced of Ronaldo's ability.

   Hearing Ronaldo's greeting, Ribery was very happy to pass the ball to an inverted triangle.

   worthy of being a teammate who has been with him for many years. At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also in the Chelsea penalty area at a high speed, just arrived.

   quickly adjusted his pace, Ronaldo went up to the ball and shot with a kick.

"boom!"

  The ball flew towards the upper left corner of the Chelsea goal with a strong spin.

   Goalkeeper Cudicini saw Cristiano Ronaldo kicked the door, quickly moved his footsteps, and jumped in the direction of the ball's flight.

"when!"

Although   Cudicini did not touch the ball, his luck was not bad. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced high.

   At this time, Cudicini had just finished the save and was lying on the ground before he could get up, but Tony had already rushed to the small penalty area very keenly to prepare for a header shot.

   Tony moved, and Ivanovic, who was defending from Chelsea, also hurried over to fight for a position with Tony in the small penalty area.

  Under the interference of Ivanovic, although Tony won the ball, he failed to get the ball right.

   The ball fluttered towards Chelsea's goal, but at this time, Cudicini had already climbed up from the ground and tried his best to pull the ball out of the goal line.

   Just when Cudicini just finished his second save and fell to the ground, he heard a "bang!" and the ball flew back from his head.

   This time, Cudicini was unable to make a third save and could only watch the ball fly into Chelsea's goal in front of him.

   "GOAL!"

   It's Ribery!

   This guy passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo and stayed in Chelsea's penalty area to prepare for a supplementary shot.

   As a result, Cudicini's second save just put the ball in front of him.

   In the face of the fat meat delivered to his mouth, of course Ribery will not miss it.

   rushing up to meet the ball is a volley to help Crystal Palace break the deadlock and lead Chelsea 1:0.

After    scored, the excited Ribery took off his jersey and rushed to the camera with a roar.

  Since the start of this season, his main position has been snatched by Messi. Only in some less important games, he can appear in the starting lineup.

   In this regard, Ribery has been unhappy for a long time.
