Chapter 273 Professional people do professional things
Seeing Chen Ran's substitution adjustment, Heathfield wanted to go to the Crystal Palace bench and punch Chen Ran.
Crystal Palace replaced Kaká and brought on Evra and Alves, obviously changing the main attack direction from the center to the wing.
In the first half of the game, Kaka's dribbling in the middle was too threatening, so he removed the full-backs to strengthen the defense in the middle.
Now that Bayern Munich has no full-backs on the field, this weakness has become the focus of Chen Ran's attack.
If you add full-backs again, wouldn't you tell everyone that you are being led by that guy Chen Ran?
Thinking of this, Heathfield felt angry and confused.
After all, he is a well-known and experienced marshal who is nearly sixty years old, and yet he is toyed with by a young man like Chen Ran. This is a huge embarrassment.
Watching Modric deliver the ball to Evra and Alves one after another, Hitzfeld knew that he could not hesitate any longer, otherwise Bayern Munich's goal was likely to be lost again.
Forget it, just be embarrassed if you're embarrassed.
Heathfield still clearly understood the priorities of the matter. After giving Chen Ran a fierce look not far away, he gritted his teeth and called out to the substitute right back Christian Lehr on the bench.
Soon, after a brief warm-up, Christian Lyle was replaced by Hitzfeld and Demichelis.
Then Lahm returned to the left back position, and Bayern Munich's formation returned from 352 to the opening 442.
"Dear viewers, have you noticed? Not only did this game have beautiful world-wide goals, but the battle between the head coaches of the two teams was also exciting."
"Crystal Palace's Chen Ran used Kaká's dribbling to break through Bayern Munich's center at the beginning, forcing Hitzfield to remove the full-backs and increase the defense in the center."
"But just after Hitzfield's substitution adjustment, Chen Ran replaced two full-backs during the half-time break and began to attack the wings of Bayern Munich, which was not protected by full-backs."
"Now, the helpless Hitzfeld once again replaced substitute right back Christian Lehr, restoring Bayern Munich's formation to 442 in the opening stage."
"It can be said that so far in this game, the experienced German coach Hitzfeld has been completely taken over by the young coach Chen Ran from China, and he can only deal with it passively."
"Heathfield is nearly sixty years old and has made outstanding achievements. Chen Ran is only in his early thirties, but has already won many championship trophies. It can be said that this game is a direct contest between the new generation of coaches and the older generation of coaches."
"Judging from the current progress, the rise of the new generation of coaches represented by Chen Ran is unstoppable!"
...
Chen Ran didn’t know about the rainbow fart during the competition commentary.
But around him, someone has already made up for it in time.
"Boss, Heathfield is completely following your plan. You are really awesome."
Seeing Heathfield's substitution adjustments, Guardiola and the others couldn't help but sigh.
"Ahem, keep a low profile, keep a low profile. These are just trivial matters, not worth mentioning."
Chen Ran waved his hand nonchalantly, looking calm and relaxed.
"Josep, go tell Modric and ask him to pass more passes to Evra on the left. Bayern Munich's new right back Christian Lyle has little experience in the game, so he will be the main attack direction.
"
"Okay, boss."
Soon, Modric, who received Chen Ran's instructions, began to continuously deliver artillery shells to Evra.
With Evra's repeated attacks, Christian Laiton, who has been a substitute for Sagnol all year round and has few chances to play, was immediately in a hurry.
Seeing this situation, Hitzfeld had to order the right midfielder Salihamidzic to retreat to help Christian Lehr strengthen the defense.
The 30-year-old Salihamidzic's physical condition is no better than when he was young, and he can no longer balance offense and defense. As soon as he retreats to defend, Bayern Munich's entire right-side offense is basically paralyzed.
As for the "little pig" Bastian Schweinsteiger, who serves as the left midfielder, he is better at playing in the middle. His left midfielder is more like a midfielder, and he unconsciously runs towards the center as he kicks.
Bayern Munich's attack on the left depends more on left back Lahm's assists.
But Crystal Palace's current right wing configuration, whether it is right back Maicon or right midfielder Alves, are fast, skilled and ruthless players who are good at tackling.
Both guys are versatile players on the right who can play as right back, right midfielder or even right winger.
Facing one of them alone, Ram can guarantee that he will not fall behind. But if two bandits come together, even Ram will have no choice but to admit defeat.
Both wings were restricted by Crystal Palace, so Bayern Munich's offense was of course unable to take off.
The two forwards, Mackay and Podolski, received limited support. Under the tight defense of Vidic and Thiago Silva, they naturally could not create any great threat to the goal guarded by Cech.
Under Chen Ran's very targeted tactical arrangements, Bayern Munich played very frustrated throughout the game. Even after Hitzfeld replaced Yin Lang international player Karimi to try to strengthen the offense, no effect was achieved.
In this way, Crystal Palace maintained its two-goal lead until the end of the game. Of course, Chen Ran did not forget to replace Cristiano Ronaldo in stoppage time to wash away the negative effects.
In the end, Crystal Palace defeated visiting Bayern Munich 2-0 at home with two goals from Modric and Ibrahimovic, winning the first round of the Champions League semi-finals.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning this game. As a special reward, I will receive a 'Level 1 Blood Recovery Card'."
Seeing the rewards given by the system, Chen Ran also breathed a sigh of relief. He had to play nine games in twenty-five days, and what he was most worried about was the physical condition of the players. He now wished that the system could reward a "level one blood recovery card" in every game.
”.
...
Thousands of miles away in China, as one of the highlights of this round of the Champions League, the contest between defending champion Crystal Palace and Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich attracted countless fans to stay up late to watch.
In addition to Crystal Palace fans and Bayern Munich fans, there are also a large number of fans of other teams and even pseudo-fans.
After the Crystal Palace won Bayern Munich 2:0, these people did not want to go to sleep for a while and rushed to the Crystal Palace post bar to drink water.
"Good guy, I didn't expect Crystal Palace to be so awesome right now. Bayern Munich, the top team in the Bundesliga, was suppressed throughout the game and lost without any temper."
"Haha, the people upstairs don't look like Crystal Palace fans. Isn't it normal for Crystal Palace to win now?"
"Hey, are you too arrogant upstairs? Bayern Munich has dominated the Bundesliga for many years, and ordinary teams are not opponents at all. Crystal Palace was lucky enough to enter the two world waves today, otherwise who would lose and who would win would not be able to win. must."
"Everyone, come and watch, and capture one of the Bayern fans upstairs alive."
"Here, you have lost the game and you still dare to come here to play? Didn't you see that Heathfield was completely led by Chen Ran?"
"That's right. Did Bayern Munich have a decent shot in this game? I even doubt that Cech didn't even sweat after the game."
"Ahem, aren't those fans upstairs? The goalkeeper's position is quite special. It's common to not sweat after the game."
"Ah? Really? Haha, don't pay attention to these details, just understand the spirit. But that guy Chen Ran has a way of directing the game. I declare that from today on, I am a Crystal Palace fan."
"...Are we trying to influence a fake football fan?"
"What are you doing? Are the people upstairs looking down on the fake fans? Who didn't start watching football as a fake fan who just watched the excitement?"
"It's not unreasonable. I just watched football for fun at first, and then slowly developed into a real fan. Welcome fake fans to join the Crystal Palace family!"
"Welcome +1!"
"Welcome +2!"
"Hey, thank you. I watched the game because I couldn't sleep at night. I didn't expect this game to be quite interesting, especially the battle between Chen Ran and Heathfield. I think it's more interesting than the game itself."
"Yes, brother, what you said is on point. After all, Heathfield is also a famous German coach. I didn't expect to be pressed to the ground and rubbed by this guy Chen Ran. Chicken Thief Ran is really getting more and more powerful."
...
Two days later, on April 14, in the 33rd round of the Premier League, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace to an away game against Charlton.
After rotating some of the main players, Crystal Palace defeated Charlton 2:1 away with the goals of Jan Kohler and Southgate.
While scoring three valuable points, Chen Ran also received a "Free Kick Master Card".
It is a pity that in other Premier League games this round, Manchester United defeated Sheffield United 2:0 at Old Trafford, and Chelsea defeated West Ham United 4:1 away from home, still maintaining a two-point tie. A three point difference.
The two teams continued to closely follow Crystal Palace, and no one was left behind.
Two days later, on April 17, in the second round of the Champions League semi-finals, Chen Ran flew Crystal Palace to Germany to challenge Bayern Munich.
Because they lost to Crystal Palace away from home in the first round, Hitzfield had no other choice this time. Bayern Munich launched a comprehensive attack from the first minute of the game.
Chen Ran was already prepared for this. He used his special defensive counterattack tactics for Crystal Palace.
With the cheers and cheers of more than 70,000 fans at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich launched wave after wave of offensives.
In the end, with the goals of Ibrahimovic and Kaká, Crystal Palace lost to Bayern Munich 2:3 in the away game and eliminated the opponent with a total score of 4:3 to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
In this important game that concerns whether Bayern Munich can advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League, Bayern Munich's three giants, Beckenbauer, Rummenigge and Hoeness, of course appeared together at the Allianz Arena to cheer for the team.
But just before such an important game started, Beckenbauer went to a VIP box to sit for a while.
Of course, the person who deserves to be personally entertained by Beckenbauer is no ordinary person, it is Dietrich Mateschitz, the boss of the Red Bull Group.
Since becoming interested in the Galaxy Football Group, Dietrich Mateschitz has been paying close attention to news in this area for a while.
Especially for the Crystal Palace Club, which is the core asset of the Galaxy Football Group, he asked his subordinates to collect all kinds of information.
When Dietrich Mateschitz saw that Chen Ran had brought an unknown British Championship team to where it is today in less than four years, he further developed a strong affection for Chen Ran.
interest.
It is legendary enough to know that Dietrich Mateschitz's own fortune-making history was legendary. At first, he was just the sales director of a toothpaste company in Germany. During a business trip to Thailand, he discovered the popular Red Bull drink there.
Then he actually decided to spend money to establish a joint venture with Xu Shubiao, the inventor of Red Bull beverage, and occupied 49% of the company's shares. From then on, he started the legendary career of Austria's richest man.
Now, Chen Ran, an equally legendary guy, has gradually made Dietrich Mateschitz more interested in cooperating with Galaxy Football Group than continuing to acquire German clubs.
After watching Bayern Munich defeat Crystal Palace at home but being eliminated, Dietrich Mateschitz stood condescendingly in the VIP box and quietly watched the players of the winner of the game, Bayern Munich, in the Allianz Arena.
It was a strange scene of everyone being dejected, while the Crystal Palace players who lost the game were all elated.
"Felix, what do you think of Crystal Palace Club?"
Without looking back, Dietrich Mateschitz suddenly asked his assistant such a question.
"Well... although their strength is good, they are about the same as Bayern Munich. Being able to eliminate Bayern Munich requires a certain amount of luck."
Felix, Dietrich Mateschitz's assistant, is German, and his words are inevitably biased towards Bayern Munich.
However, Dietrich Mateschitz didn't say anything about his assistant's opinion, he just asked again indifferently.
"You can bring an unknown second-tier league team to the same level as Bayern Munich, and it only took less than four years. What do you think of the Chinese Chen Ran?"
"...He's strong."
This time, Felix was silent for a while, and finally spoke his true thoughts.
"Then do you think it would be more appropriate for Red Bull Group to cooperate with the Galaxy Football Group established by the Chinese than for us to acquire clubs one by one?"
"Um...Boss, to be honest, running a football club is not an easy task. I think we still need to find professional people to do professional things."
"Professional people do professional things? That makes sense."
