Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 57 plan ahead

   Chapter 57 Plan ahead

  Slim and small, Modric, who has always been unremarkable, can be described as a surprise.

   If you can continuously hit beautiful volleys in the air, that's not something you can get out of.

  How many threatening players do Crystal Palace have?

   McCarthy frowned on the sidelines.

   For the study of Crystal Palace, he can be said to be careless.

  Which players are threatening and need to be marked, and he has already made arrangements before the game.

  Tony, sent people to watch; Ronaldo, sent people to guard; Ribery, sent people to follow.

   Even Crouch, who has not yet played, made arrangements.

   Unexpectedly, the Crystal Palace now has another inconspicuous, thin and short Modric.

  This goal was like a pot of cold water pouring from McCarthy's head, which instantly calmed him down a lot.

   Before he was a little bit overwhelmed, but now that he regained his composure, he suddenly found himself falling into Chen Ran's trap again.

   "Fxxxk!"

   McCarthy cursed.

   It would be great if he took the lead and immediately recovered and played a defensive counterattack.

   But there is no regret medicine in the world. Now that the score has been equalized by Crystal Palace, should we continue to attack and win, or withdraw to defend and save a point?

   McCarthy hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth. Now that the game has been beaten like this, if he retreated to defend now, he would definitely be laughed at by the Chinese.

   It's better to make mistakes and stick to the end.

  Look at the end who hacked to death first.

After    equalized the score, Chen Ran has been following the movements of Sunderland's bench.

   However, after waiting for a long time, McCarthy did not see any tactical adjustments made by McCarthy.

   "He's going to fight with me to the end."

  Chen Ran touched his chin and muttered to himself.

   "However, this is just right for Simeone's defensive counterattack tactics, and it also saves me from changing my style of play to attack."

   "This McCarthy is such a good guy."

   The next game process has entered the familiar game rhythm of Crystal Palace.

  Tony received a cross from the left from Ronaldo and scored a header.

   Then in a free kick in the frontcourt, Southgate received a pass from Modric and scored the third goal.

   And Sunderland, also with corner kick tactics, scored a supplementary shot in the penalty area.

  In the end, Sunderland was reversed by Crystal Palace 2:3 at home.

   When the referee blew the final whistle, another 1 million euros fell into Chen Ran's pocket.

   Now, the English media has become more and more numb to Crystal Palace winning, and they are beginning to hope that someone can end Crystal Palace's winning streak.

   After all, they will get tired of writing about Crystal Palace winning all the time.

   "Crystal Palace has won seven straight games at the start of the league, who can stop him?"

   "Even without Guardiola, the core midfielder, Sunderland couldn't stop Crystal Palace's seven-game winning streak."

   "In the Championship, Crystal Palace has no rivals."

   "The latest news, the betting company has launched the odds for Crystal Palace to win the British Championship with a clean record."

   "Questionnaire, which team do you think can stop Crystal Palace from winning streak?"

   "Chen Ran, a rookie coach, has won all his coaching careers. Is the Championship so easy?"

   After temporarily overcoming the crisis of Guardiola's serious injury, Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

   As long as Cesc Fabregas can grow up quickly, even if Guardiola cannot return to the court, then the team's lineup will not have too many holes.

   That's right, Chen Ran went to the hospital to visit Guardiola after the match against Sunderland, and gave Guardiola a detailed description of the team's victory and the process of the game.

   Guardiola couldn't help laughing when he heard the tricks used by Chen Ran to fool McCarthy, the head coach of Sunderland.

   After visiting Guardiola, Chen Ran got bad news from the doctor.

   Guardiola's recovery from injury is not ideal, much slower than normal. Considering Guardiola's age, the doctor told Chen Ran to mentally prepare that he would not be able to return to the field.

   Fortunately, Cesc Fabregas was cut off, Chen Ran secretly rejoiced, otherwise the trouble would be big.

   However, when he thought of Cesc Fabregas and the hidden danger of Barcelona's buyback clause, Chen Ran felt that he couldn't put all his bets on Cesc Fabregas alone.

   When Chen Ran cut Fabregas, he planned to use him as a substitute for Guardiola.

   This is to give Guardiola a rotation. After all, at the age of 33, Chen Ran can't expect Guardiola to play all the games.

   On the other hand, you can exercise Cesc Fabregas slowly, so as not to make him too conspicuous and attract the attention of the Barcelona club.

   Before the buyback clauses on these La Masia teenagers expired, Chen Ran didn't want to make Cesc Fabregas and Pique stand out too much.

  If they perform too well and Barcelona decides to activate the buyback clause, Chen Ranke will be in vain.

   But things backfired. Due to Guardiola's serious injury, Chen Ran is now forced to push Cesc Fabregas to the front desk ahead of schedule.

   This is of course the urgent need for Guardiola's absence, but at the same time, it also greatly increases the probability of Barcelona's activation of the repurchase clause.

   And this is something Chen Ran absolutely does not want to see.

   After all, at the speed at which he can get a bonus of 1 million euros for every league win, Chen Ran really doesn't pay attention to the 5.4 million euros buyback fee two years later.

   So he called Simone and Southgate together and asked for their advice.

   "Gareth, Diego, I'm going to let Modric try the position of the midfielder, what do you think?"

   "Modric? Can he do it with such a thin body? The defensive task of the midfielder is very heavy."

   In Southgate's mind, Modric's thin and thin body, just over 1.7 meters, immediately appeared, and he couldn't help shaking his head.

  Simeone gave Chen Ran a thoughtful look.

   "Boss, do you want Modric to play an organizational midfielder, just like Josep and Cesc Fabregas?"

   "Yes, that's what I meant. After all, Cesc Fabregas is only 16 years old and needs someone to share his tasks. Otherwise, when he is not on the court, we are too passive."

   "It's true, I was exhausted in the first half of the game against Sunderland."

  Southgate is deeply touched by this point. After all, he is already 33 years old. Playing in such a tiring position as a semi-free man, a game or two is fine. If he keeps playing like this, he can’t stand it.

   "If you have no opinion, in future training, I will also arrange for Modric to play a midfielder to see how he performs and whether he can adapt."

   "Okay, boss."

  Chen Ran dared to make such an arrangement, naturally he had the confidence to do so.

   In his previous life, although Modric’s peak was at Real Madrid, he was played at Tottenham Hotspur.

   As the core of Tottenham's midfield, he conquered the Premier League with his all-round performance, and thus attracted the favor of Real Madrid.

  Since Modric in his previous life could do it, there is no reason why he can't do it now.

   After all, what he is facing now is not Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, but a group of Championship teams.

   Chen Ran is full of confidence in this regard.
