Knowing that he was not as fast or flexible as Kaka, Harman rushed up and made a big flying shovel.

He was going to teach Kaka some lessons so that the other party could retreat, so as not to keep staring at him and repeatedly attacking him.

Kaka is no longer a fledgling rookie, and his repeated injuries have also accumulated many tips to avoid injuries.

Seeing Harman flying towards him with a fierce look, Kaka immediately picked up the ball, and then he jumped up. The ball and Kaka happened to cross over Harman's head.

At this moment, Manchester City's front of the penalty area immediately became a huge gap.

When they found that the situation was not good, Manchester City's central defender Ben Hayinm had to immediately drop Dzeko, who was in charge of his control, and rushed out to intercept Kaka.

Ben Hayinm's movements were naturally all seen in Kaka's eyes. He shook his right ankle gently and passed the ball to Dzeko, who is now unguarded.

The ball drew a parabola and flew over Ben Hayinmu's head.

Of course, Dzeko is not willing to miss such a good opportunity.

However, Kaka passed this ball from behind, and it was difficult to exert force if he headed up and down.

So Dzeko simply turned his back to Manchester City's goal and directly played an inverted gold hook towards the coming ball.

"Bang!"

Dzeko's touch ball fill-up was very accurate, and the ball flew quickly and quickly to the upper left corner of Manchester City's goal like a shell.

Goalkeeper Hart immediately jumped into the direction of the ball flying, but unfortunately Dzeko's barb shot angle was too clever, and Hart tried his best but failed to touch the ball.

“GOAL!”

With Dzeko's World Cup goal, Crystal Palace finally broke the deadlock on the court and led Manchester City 1:0.

Seeing that he had tried all his ways, but in the end he was broken by Crystal Palace, Mark Hughes's mentality immediately collapsed.

While preparing for this game against Crystal Palace, Mark Hughes studied many videos of Crystal Palace.

He discovered a very serious problem, that is, if he uses the tactic of bus to deal with Crystal Palace, once the score is behind, he wants to reverse the defense and make the score back for the offense, the outcome will often be worse.

Mark Hughes is very clear about his current situation.

If Manchester City only lost to Crystal Palace with one goal, he could barely explain it.

If Manchester City loses to Crystal Palace in a big way, he will probably be fired on the spot by the Calduone Al Mubarak, who has long disliked him.

After weighing the trade-offs for a long time, Mark Hughes decided to pretend to be dead and continue to set up a bus, just pretending that he didn't see the score of 1:0 on the huge display of the Emirates Stadium.

And, he quickly replaced Wright Phillips with Ireland and replaced Harman with Richards.

There is only one goal, that is, continue to strengthen defense.

At Crystal Palace, after seeing Mark Hughes' substitution, Southgate turned to look at Simeone beside him in confusion.

"Diego, what did Mark Hughes think? It's understandable to replace Haman with Richards with his physical strength. But he replaced Wright Phillips with Ireland with average offensive ability. He didn't want to

Go back the score?"

"I'm afraid you really hit it. This Mark Hughes probably didn't plan to pull the score back." Simeone said thoughtfully.

"Ah? There is also the head coach who is willing to lose? This guy is not a bet on football, right?"

Southgate was stunned when he heard this and looked at Simeone with a look of surprise.

"The bet on football should not be. Mark Hughes probably doesn't want to lose more goals. Gareth, please recall carefully. Those teams that took the initiative to attack after losing the ball when they played against us, and in the end they were all

What's the end?"

"Uh...it seems like I've lost more balls."

"So, Mark Hughes is easy to understand. Manchester City just changed its new club this season and invested a lot in the summer transfer period, but now it can only rank in the dozen. Do you think Mark.

What is Hughes’ current situation?”

"So that's it. Tsk tsk, Diego, I didn't expect you to think about things well."

"We are following the boss now, so naturally there is no pressure. Just talk about Josep, if Barcelona's performance this season is not good, do you think he can still sit firmly in the head coach position?"

"This is better. It's better to follow the boss. There is no pressure, and you can continue to win various championship trophys."

Chen Ran was also a little surprised by Mark Hughes's actions.

Is it because the Crystal Palace has too much deterrence, or is this guy too cowardly?

However, when Chen Ran thought from his own perspective, he immediately guessed the purpose of Mark Hughes doing this.

This is also good. Since Manchester City has completely given up on the offense, it can save some physical fitness for the Crystal Palace players.

So, with Chen Ran waved the flag, Crystal Palace also began to reduce the intensity of the attack.

The game ushered in such a tacit atmosphere that the whole game ended.

In the end, with Dzeko's barb shot, Crystal Palace defeated Manchester City 1:0 at home.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "first-level rehabilitation card" from the system.

In other matches in this round of Premier League, Liverpool easily defeated Bolton 2-0 away, continuing their strong performance this season.

Chelsea also beat West Bromvic 3-0 away, and Manchester United beat Stoke City 5-0 at Old Trafford.

Arsenal lost 0:2 to Aston Villa at Highbury Stadium and started to lose again.

When the 13th round of the Premier League was over, Crystal Palace, Liverpool and Chelsea were still ranked first, second and third, and the points gap between them did not change at all.

After playing against Manchester City, Crystal Palace finally ushered in a week's rest time.

In Spain, at this time, the eleven rounds of the La Liga have been played.

Under Guardiola's leadership, Barcelona ranked first in the standings with 28 points.

Real Madrid, however, only scored 23 points now, ranked fourth.

For a moment, remarks about Mourinho not only being able to beat Chen Ran, but even Chen Ran's assistant Guardiola could not beat spread throughout Spain.

“Fxxxk!”

"These bastards are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Before they even finished playing one-third of the La Liga, they just said that Barcelona will be the champion of this season. It's just nonsense!"

At Mourinho's residence in Barcelona, ​​Spanish media reports made him furious.

"José, do you care too much about media coverage? You knew what these media are like when you were in England?"

Mendes frowned slightly at Mourinho's current excitement, something was wrong.

"call......"

Mourinho calmed down a little while after a bite, and he realized that his reaction was a bit abnormal.

"Sorry, Jorge, I'm a little too excited."

"José, Guardiola is Guardiola. Don't confuse him with Chen Ran, so that you can deal with this guy with a more peaceful attitude."

As a friend and partner, Mendes certainly knows what Mourinho's fatal point is.

"Haha, Jorge, am I trying to confuse them?"

"Then don't pay attention to the media. The more angry you are, the happier they are. Isn't this a trap for them?"

"I understand. By the way, Jorge, how is that guy Chen Ran doing recently? I heard that many players are missing this season because of injuries?"

Mourinho, who was overwhelmed by Guardiola's Barcelona, ​​has not had the intention to pay attention to the news in the Premier League recently.

"There are indeed many players in Crystal Palace who are injured, and they are all main players. It was Kaka, Vieira and Vidic, and Chris was also injured a few days ago."

"What? So many players were injured? Is Chris' injury serious?"

Mourinho was immediately excited when he heard that so many of the main players of Crystal Palace were injured.

"Chris has no big problem, it's almost done after half a month of rest."

"It's a pity." Mourinho shook his head and sighed.

"What do you mean?"

Mendes almost turned his back upon hearing Mourinho's words.

Ronaldo is one of the biggest cash cows in Mendes' hands. If he is seriously injured, he will suffer huge losses.

"Ahem, Jorge, don't get me wrong, I have no other meaning."

Mourinho also knew that he was a bit unkind to say that just now, so he quickly explained.

"Joze, although many main players in Crystal Palace were injured, under Chen Ran's training, Crystal Palace is still the top team in both the Premier League and the Champions League."

"If you expect the injury-lossing personnel to delay the progress of Crystal Palace, it will not work at the moment."

"So, I advise you to focus on your main energy in La Liga. After all, Guardiola is much easier to deal with than Chen Ran."

Mourinho rarely refuted Mendes' words.

Although it sounded uncomfortable, he knew in his heart that Mendes was indeed thinking about him.

......

Also in the home of Guardiola, Barcelona, ​​Spain.

The team has good results, and both the club's senior management and fans are very satisfied with Guardiola's performance, which also gives Guardiola the leisure to have a drink with his brother Pere Guardiola.

"Pep, if Barcelona meets Crystal Palace again in the Champions League this season, are you sure to eliminate Crystal Palace?"

Seeing that his younger brother was the head coach for the first time, he could beat the veteran giant Real Madrid to top the La Liga standings, Perre Guardiola couldn't help but feel a little bit arrogant.

"Ahem, Pere, are you drinking too much?"

Guardiola glanced at the empty wine bottle on the table and did not answer his brother's question.

"How could I drink too much? It's just a bottle of red wine. You don't know how much I drink?"

"Then why would you ask such a ridiculous question?"

"How can this be called absurd? Barcelona is not weak at all. When they met Crystal Palace in the Champions League a few seasons, they were just a shameful defeat."

"Since you came to coach Barcelona, ​​you have vigorously promoted players from La Macia and the team's combat effectiveness has been significantly improved."

"What's more, Crystal Palace's injuries this season are even more serious. First, Kaka, Vieira and Vidic are injured. A while ago, even Cristiano Ronaldo was injured."

"You said, in this case, is Barcelona a good opportunity to eliminate their opponents when they meet Crystal Palace again?"

Pere Guardiola used the alcohol to make a happy speech, and she was really organized.

Obviously, it has been a day or two for him to think about this issue.

"Since you have noticed the injury situation of Crystal Palace, you should be clear that even in this case, Crystal Palace is still at the top of the Premier League and the Champions League."

Speaking of this, Guardiola stopped deliberately and said word by word: "Perre, I know better than you!"

"Haha, Pep, I admit that Chen Ran is very good. But there is one thing you don't forget, this season is less than one-third, and Crystal Palace has already suffered so many injuries."

"If Crystal Palace's injury situation becomes more and more serious later and there are no available players at that time, then what's the use of Chen Ran no matter how powerful he is? He can't play on his own, right?"

"Oh, I almost forgot that Chen Ran is not a player. If he goes up and plays, the result will probably be worse."

Speaking of this, Guardiola was too lazy to continue to argue.

Only those around them know the best how powerful Chen Ran is.

Not to mention anything else, the ability to accurately predict the ups and downs of a player's condition is enough to make people daunt.

Even though Guardiola has been with Chen Ran for several years, he still hasn't figured out how this is done.

He also hopes to return to the Crystal Palace in the future to learn this ability from Chen Ran, so even his biological brother, Guardiola did not reveal this secret.

......

After six days of rest, Crystal Palace ushered in another consecutive week of double competitions.

On November 22, in the 14th round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go to challenge Portsmouth away.

Crystal Palace, which plays all the main players, easily won Portsmouth 3:1 away with goals from Tony, Messi and Ribery.

While winning the game, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Blood Recovery Card" from the system.

In other matches in this round of Premier League, Liverpool beat Fulham 1:0 at Anfield, Chelsea also beat Newcastle United 1:0 at Stamford Bridge, and Manchester United were forced by Aston Villa 0:0 away game

flat.

However, Mark Hughes, who is in danger, broke out in this round, defeating Arsenal 3-0 at home, causing a big upset.

When the 14th round of the Premier League was over, Crystal Palace still topped the standings, while Liverpool and Chelsea were second and third, behind four and six points respectively.

The day after playing against Portsmouth, Chen Ran flew to Germany with the entire Crystal Palace. Three days later, they will challenge Bayern Munich away.
Chapter completed!
