Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 61 Dual core driver

  Chapter 61 Dual Core Driver

  The game has entered a state of anxiety from the first minute.

  The turf at Selhurst Park seemed to have turned into a swamp, making it difficult for Crystal Palace's attack to advance every step.

   West Bromwich Albion's three central defenders double-teamed Tony and Crouch, and the left and right midfielders and full-backs attacked Ronaldo and Ribery, all of which were considered routine operations.

   As soon as Chen Ran saw West Bromwich Albion's arrangement, he immediately ordered the left and right fullbacks Chiellini and Maicon to press the attack and share the pressure of Ronaldo's Ribery.

The key is the West Bromwich Albion striker. Chen Ran even suspected that Megson had sent a defender to play this position.

  This striker has never left Modric since the opening.

   Wherever Modric goes, once Modric catches the ball, he immediately steps up to interfere and press.

   Although Modric's technique is very good, he didn't concede the ball. But in the case of close pressing, Modric's physical disadvantage was immediately exposed, and the accuracy of passing the ball dropped significantly.

   This made it much more difficult for Ronaldo, Ribery and others to catch the ball. After finally getting the ball, he fell into a dead end in a blink of an eye.

  The West Bromwich Albion players were smart, they made the most of the touchline and then blocked both the front and the opposite side of the Crystal Palace player with the ball.

   And it is estimated that Megson explained it on purpose. They mainly blocked the route and did not make a move easily.

   In this way, the chances of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ribery and others making breakthroughs are also greatly reduced, not to mention sending comfortable crosses to Tony and Crouch.

   The problem lies with Modric, and Chen Ran is very keen to discover this, but how to solve it is the key.

  The game has only been played for twenty minutes, is it too early to make a substitution? That means Cesc Fabregas needs to play 70 minutes on the court, can his physical strength support it?

   And, will Fabregas definitely solve the problem?

   After all, he is only 16 years old, can he guarantee the quality of his passing under the interference of the West Bromwich Albion striker?

   All this is unknown until nothing happens.

  Chen Ran weighed it, but in the end he didn't do it because he thought of another way.

After    made up his mind, Chen Ran turned around and greeted Cesc Fabregas to warm up.

   The game had only been going on for more than 20 minutes, and someone from the Crystal Palace bench began to warm up, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

   "What's the matter? Crystal Palace is going to make a substitution?"

   A reporter in the stands keenly noticed Chen Ran's actions and shouted in surprise.

   "No way, the game has only been going on for more than 20 minutes. And isn't Crystal Palace taking the initiative? There's no need to rush to make substitutions, right?"

   "That's not necessarily true. Although Crystal Palace has taken the initiative, they haven't had a threatening shot until now. It is estimated that the Chinese man made a substitution after seeing this."

   "That's too anxious. West Bromwich Albion has all shrunk in their own half so far, and it seems that they don't want to attack. Crystal Palace can be more patient, and opportunities will appear sooner or later."

   "That's right, it's not wise to change people at this time."

   Not only was the reporter discovering Chen Ran's actions, but Megson, who was always watching the Crystal Palace bench, naturally also saw it.

   It's just that Megson's heart was filled with a burst of joy, because Chen Ran was in a hurry to make a substitution, indicating that his tactical arrangement was very effective, making the opponent uncomfortable.

  There are only a few people that Crystal Palace can change, and only Cesc Fabregas can help the attack.

   Replacing Modric by Fabregas can change the current situation? Megson didn't think so.

   No matter how talented he is, he is only 16 years old, and the role he can play is not necessarily better than Modric now.

   After Cesc Fabregas warmed up, Chen Ran put his arms around him on the sidelines and started to lay out tactics, still covering his mouth with his hands.

   "Sesk, you'll replace Simeone later and play with Modric in midfield. In addition, you'll tell Southgate that he will now play Liberty and stand behind you to provide protection."

"That West Bromwich Albion striker will interfere with your playmaking, but he is only one person. You and Modric have a little distance, whoever he is looking at, pass the ball to another man to play, understand ?"

   "Understood, boss."

   Fabregas also covered his mouth with his hand and replied mysteriously.

   "Stinky boy."

  Chen Ran scolded with a smile, reached out and rubbed Fabregas' hair vigorously.

   He knew that Cesc Fabregas was imitating Sunderland coach McCarthy before, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

   Soon, in less than 30 minutes of the game, Crystal Palace made a substitution adjustment, and it was Fabregas to replace the previous main player Simeone.

   "What's the matter? It turned out to be Simone?"

   Chen Ran's substitution was beyond the expectations of many.

   Some of the media reporters in the stands let out an incomprehensible exclamation.

   "That Chinese man is ready to give up his defense and attack with all his strength."

   "It looks like this. Now Crystal Palace's two midfielders are all playmakers, and their defensive ability is worrying. If West Bromwich Albion seizes the opportunity to counterattack now, it may have a miraculous effect."

   "It depends on whether Megson has the courage to take a gamble."

   That's right, as the reporters in the stands said, Megson was moved after seeing Chen Ran's substitution.

  Crystal Palace removed the midfielder Simeone. Cesc Fabregas and Modric, who now occupy the middle, are both playmakers. The defensive intensity of the middle immediately dropped a lot.

   Do you want to change formations and aim at the current weakness of Crystal Palace?

   This is a great opportunity.

   Maybe you can steal one?

   Then shrink back and continue to defend, wouldn’t it be better?

   Chen Ran's substitution adjustment immediately made Megson's heart a mess.

   Ignoring Chen Ran's evolution and continuing to defend, and the two thoughts of attacking Crystal Palace's weakness, seemed to have turned into two villains, quarreling endlessly in Megson's heart.

  However, the game won't stop for Megerson to make a decision.

After   Chen Ran made the substitution, the effect was immediately apparent.

  The West Bromwich Albion striker is a little dizzy now, and when the ball falls to Modric, he presses as he did before.

  However, this time Modric did not entangle with him. After he got close, he took a step and immediately crossed to Cesc Fabregas who was waiting on the other side.

   When West Bromwich Albion's striker turned around and rushed towards Cesc Fabregas, Cesc Fabregas had already sent the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo with a big foot.

  Comfortable passing saves Cristiano Ronaldo the adjustment step.

   No adjustments were needed, and there was no time for West Brom's defenders to pounce.

  Many opportunities on the football field are fleeting in just a second or two.

   The deadlock is easily resolved.

   Next, let's see how Megson responds.
