"Damn it! Did Yinbrahimovic shout "Dumplings"? Did I hear it wrong?"

"You heard it right, I heard him shouting 'Duillus'."

"What's going on? Could it be that Yinbrahimovic was hungry and wanted to eat dumplings while playing games?"

"You are so funny upstairs. How could this happen? I guess this is a tactical code name for Crystal Palace. You didn't see Yinbrahimovic shouting 'Duanzi', Ribery on the right side of the road

Will you rush to AC Milan's penalty area immediately?"

"What the upstairs said is right, it's probably what's going on. Don't forget that the head coach of Crystal Palace is Chen Ran. This guy must have deliberately used Chinese as a tactical code name to keep it confidential."

"Haha, if this is true, this guy Chen Ran would be too thief."

"Do you call him Ji Chi Ren if you forget his nickname? You only have the wrong name, but no wrong nickname."

......

Seeing Crystal Palace score another goal, Ancelotti immediately replaced veteran Inzagi with Brazilian striker Oliveira, who recently joined the team this season.

I hope to use Oliveira's speed to threaten Crystal Palace's defense line, thereby reducing the defensive pressure on my side.

Ancelotti's substitution adjustment was still effective, because Crystal Palace now has only three central defenders on the defense line, and there are no fast full-backs to assist in defense, so it is a bit difficult to deal with Oliveira, who is known for her speed.

So Chen Ran immediately turned around and called Guardiola to his side.

"Josep, you immediately let Alves warm up, and then use him to replace Kaka, and the team's formation will change back to 442. You tell Alves that his task after he comes on the court is to be responsible for the control of Oliveira,

Do you understand?"

"Okay, boss."

Because Chen Ran's reaction was very timely, Oliveira, who was highly anticipated by Ancelotti, had almost no chance of performing after playing. Alves, who is also a Brazilian fellow, guarded Oliveira to no temper.

.

In the end, thanks to Yinbrahimovic's outstanding performance of two shots and one pass, Crystal Palace defeated AC Milan 4:2 at home and won the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game, and a special reward of "Hawkeye Guardian Card" is awarded."

Although he won the game, Chen Ran was a little unhappy.

AC Milan scored two away goals, which was an irregular time bomb.

Chen Ran didn't have to think about it. It would definitely be very difficult to play the second leg of the San Siro Stadium in a week.

Just the day after the Crystal Palace and AC Milan match ended, another Champions League semi-final also scored a victory and a loss between two Premier League teams.

Chelsea and Liverpool, who often meet in the Champions League in the past two years, finally won this time, and they won 1:0 at Stamford Bridge.

Strangely, Chelsea often wins against Liverpool in the Premier League, but once they arrive at the European arena, it becomes a different scene.

I met several times in the knockout stage, and the final promotion was Liverpool.

If we only look at the staffing configuration of the two teams, Chelsea is obviously better than Liverpool. However, Liverpool can always eliminate their opponents and advance. It can only be said that Benitez is really good at playing Cup games.

Mourinho is also unlucky enough. It would be fine if he was restrained by Chen Ran in the Premier League, but he was restrained by Benitez in the Champions League, so he has not won a heavy champion in the past few years.

It depends on whether he can turn over this year.

Two days after the Champions League semi-finals with AC Milan, on April 28, the 36th round of the Premier League was about to begin again, and Crystal Palace welcomed Newcastle United at home.

Because he had just had a big fight with AC Milan, Chen Ran had to make major adjustments to the starting lineup.

When he handed the established starting lineup to Guardiola and asked him to inform the players, Guardiola, who saw the contents of the list, was stunned.

"Boss, Newcastle United is not a weak team. It's probably a bit unsafe for us to play with the full substitute."

"I know. But in three days we will play the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals at San Siro Stadium. I must ensure that the physical fitness of the main players is kept in that more important game."

"But boss, Manchester United and Chelsea are chasing so tightly now. If we can't take Newcastle United, they will catch up."

"And we won AC Milan 4:2 in the first leg. This time, we can advance if we have to defend and get a draw in the away game. There is no need to bet all the main players into this game, right?"

When Guardiola heard that Chen Ran was going to focus all on the Champions League, he couldn't help but express his own different opinions.

"Josep, don't underestimate AC Milan. They scored two away goals in the first leg, which is a huge hidden danger. If we think we have the advantage of leading two goals, we can rest assured, then the result will definitely be

Very bad.”

"As for the Premier League, it doesn't matter even if we don't win Newcastle United in this game. According to the rules of the Premier League, the goal difference first is to look at the goal difference with the same points. Our goal difference is 12 more than Manchester United.

There are two rounds left, and they have no time.”

"Look at the remaining two Premier League opponents, one is Watford, who is ranked last and has been relegated early; the other is ranked tenth, and he cannot earn European qualifications and has no pressure to relegate.

Brockburn, who has no desires or desires.”

"After we secure a seat in the Champions League final, we can devote ourselves to the Premier League. It is not difficult for us to win these two games, or even win these two games with a big score."

"Even if Manchester United wins all the last few games, they will be equal to us, and then they can only be ranked second because of their goal difference. Therefore, although the process seems dangerous, the initiative is still in our hands.

In hand.”

"Josep, are you still opposed to my plan now?"

Regarding his right-hand assistant, Chen Ran was very patient in breaking up his thoughts and explained it.

Guardiola was listening while calculating gains and losses in his mind.

In the end, he had to admit that things were really as Chen Ran said.

Although Manchester United and Chelsea seem aggressive now, the initiative in the championship is indeed in the hands of Crystal Palace.

Guardiola, who was persuaded by Chen Ran, honestly went to execute Chen Ran's orders.

As it turns out, Guardiola's concerns are not unreasonable. Crystal Palace, which played as a substitute, failed to win the opponent, only Jan Kohler scored a goal and was tied 1:1 by Newcastle United at home.

In other matches in this round of Premier League, Manchester United defeated Everton 4:2 away, and Chelsea defeated Bolton 2:1 at Stamford Bridge.

In this way, after almost the entire season of catching up, Manchester United finally caught up with Crystal Palace in the third-last round of the Premier League.

The two teams now have 98 points together, and Crystal Palace continues to rank first with the advantage of having more goals, while Chelsea is only one point behind them, with points behind them.

The Premier League championship competition this season has reached an unprecedentedly fierce level.

There is only one point difference between the three championship teams, which is a phenomenon that has never happened since the founding of the Premier League.

For a moment, both English fans and media had a collective climax!

"The Premier League this season is really exciting, this is the charm that football should have."

"Looking forward to Manchester United and Chelsea breaking Crystal Palace's monopoly on Premier League championships."

"Crystal Palace's three consecutive Premier League goals are dangerous."

"The Chinese must not be allowed to dominate the English football world."

"This season's Premier League championship competition may have to wait until the last moment to achieve a result."

"According to the latest data from Spinach, funds optimistic about Manchester United and Chelsea's turnaround have increased significantly."

......

Chen Ran didn't care about the fanning of the English media, and he still implemented the plan according to the pre-developed plan.

The day after playing against Newcastle United, he flew to Milan, Italy with the entire Crystal Palace team.

After sacrificing the last round of the Premier League, Chen Ran sent all the main lineups in this crucial second leg of the Champions League semi-finals and used Crystal Palace's unique skills to defend and counterattack.

Of course, Yinbrahimovic can only sit on the bench honestly because he used the "first-level chicken blood card" before.

Center Tony

Left forward Ronaldo, right forward Ribery

Middleman Mascherano, Middleman Modric, Middleman Yaya.

Left-back Chiellini, central defender Thiago Silva, central defender Vidic, right-back Macon

Goalkeeper Chech

On AC Milan, Ancelotti has no choice. They have to score at least two goals before they can eliminate Crystal Palace and advance to the Champions League final.

Forward Inzagi, forward Girardino

Ex-mouth Seedorf

Ambrosini, Pirlo, Gattuso,

Left-back Serginho, central defender Maldini, central defender Nesta, right-back Odo

Goalkeeper Dida

From the first minute after the referee blew the whistle of the game, AC Milan pressed on the attack from the entire line.

The Crystal Palace players who were mentally prepared were not panic. They tightened the fences in their half and acted like they were guarding the whole thing.

Seeing this situation, Ancelot frowned on the sidelines.

He had played against Crystal Palace last season and knew that this team started with defensive counterattacks, and with this ability, he won all the way from the English Championship to the Premier League champion.

If Crystal Palace is really determined to defend, it will be difficult to break through their defense.

Ancelotti now hopes that Crystal Palace can press up and fight against him like in the first round.
