If Rotatley followed Cristiano Ronaldo's restricted area, then there was only a central defender in Juventus's penalty area.

Although Canavaro is experienced, this year is 36 years old, and the physical function has fallen sharply.

Want to rely on him to intercept Messi and Libery, who is fast and flexible, Ferrara himself was not sure.

After hesitating for a long time, Ferrara finally decided to let Lota Lie stay in the penalty area, and then handed over the mission of Konary Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, in this way, the positions of Sisopo and Merlot must be closer to their own restricted areas. There is no way to provide more help for the offense.

The new center of the center did not get enough support for the midfield, and he could only learn Ronaldo to run out of the penalty area from the penalty area of ​​the Crystal Palace.

But he did not have Caran's comprehensive personal ability. As soon as the ball reached his feet, he was quickly steal by the defensive player of the Crystal Palace.

After a few times, even Juventus's teammates did not dare to pass the ball to him easily.

Because a large number of energy is restrained by the defensive task, Juventus has never been able to attack the whole efforts, and the game has also entered the rhythm what Chen Ran wants to see.

Chen Ran's goal is very simple. While winning, try not to consume too much physical fitness.

In the end, with a penalty created by Ronaldo, the Crystal Palace was 1: 0 away from Juventus Turus.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "first -class chicken blood card" from the system.

After playing the Champions League match with Juventus, Chen Ran immediately flew back to London with the whole team of the Crystal Palace.

Two days later, on October 24th, the tenth round of the Premier League will start. This time, the Crystal Palace will take the Chiefs Stadium in the town to face the Victoria Athletic.

I just fought a tough battle in Italy, and the two days were not enough for the main players to restore their physical fitness.

In order to prevent the main force from suffering from injury, Chen Ran decided to send a substitute lineup to play in this game against Vigawa.

Without it, Chen Ran expected, Victoria's Athletic also started to set up a bus from the first minute of the game.

The Crystal Palace's replacement player has insufficient tackling capabilities.

It was not wonderful to see the situation. Chen Ran used a "first -level chicken blood card" and a "first -level quasi -star card" for Zheko and Cavani.

In the end, with Dazel and Kavani, they scored two goals each. The Crystal Palace won 4: 1 at home.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "first -class chicken blood card" from the system.

In other games in the Premier League, there is a strong and strong dialogue. Liverpool, who had been a bit out of line before, faced the opponent Manchester United in Anfield.

With Torres's two -dollar two yuan, Liverpool was 2: 0 at home, which was temporarily stabilized to stabilize Benitis's crumbling handsome position.

When Liverpool was dragging Manchester United, Chelsea defeated Plakburn at 5: 0 at the Stanford Bridge, and Manchester City was also 2: 1 at home. Arsenal was forced by the West Ham United.

Ping, starting the chain of habitual again.

Three days later, on October 28, Crystal Palace ushered in the fourth round of the England League Cup. This time, they will face the old opponent Manchester United at home.

For the League Cup competition, Chen Ran has always focused on training.

Therefore, he still sent out a starting lineup composed mainly of substitute players as usual, and handed over the command of the game to Simeone.

At Manchester United, after several seasons of observation, Sir Alex Ferguson also knew that Chen Ran did not pay much attention to domestic competitions such as the League Cup and FA Cup, and would most likely send a substitute lineup to play.

And this is also one of the few opportunities for Manchester United to defeat Crystal Palace.

In Ferguson's position, sometimes face is more important than anything else. He doesn't want to be said that his team will lose when they meet Crystal Palace.

In order to prepare for this League Cup game, Ferguson even performed some rotations in the league. This is also an important reason why Manchester United lost to Liverpool 0:2.

Facing Manchester United with all its main players playing, Simeone set up his bus without hesitation.

After holding on for most of the game, Crystal Palace was finally defeated by a magic ball from Berbatov that broke through the goal guarded by Edwin van der Sar. They unfortunately lost the game 0:1 and were eliminated from the competition this season.

English League Cup.

Two days later, on October 31, Crystal Palace ushered in the eleventh round of the Premier League. This time, they will face Hull City at home.

Since the Champions League match against Juventus was immediately following, Chen Ran still sent out a half-main and half-substitute starting lineup for this game.

In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Hull City 2:0 at home with goals from Cesc Fabregas and Suarez.

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

In other Premier League games this round, Chelsea defeated Bolton Wanderers 4-0 away from home, and Manchester United defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-0 at Old Trafford.

Arsenal defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3:0 in the north London derby, and Manchester City also defeated Birmingham 1:0 away from home.

Among these strong teams, Liverpool failed again.

The victory over Manchester United in the last round of the league failed to completely reverse their downward trend this season. In this round, they unexpectedly lost to Fulham 1:3 away from home.

After all the games in the eleventh round were over, due to Chelsea's recent consecutive big-scoring wins, they relied on their superior goal difference to overtake Crystal Palace and climb to the top of the standings.

London, Chelsea Club.

In the office of CEO Peter Kenyon, Ancelotti smiled and accepted the champagne handed by Peter Kenyon.

"bite!"

The two of them clinked their wine glasses and drank in one gulp.

"Carlo, you did a great job this time. It has been a long time since a team has been able to overtake Crystal Palace in the middle of the season and rank first in the Premier League standings."

"It's indeed not easy. Look, I have a lot more gray hair."

Ancelotti smiled bitterly and pointed at his much whiter hair. He is only 50 years old this year.

"Now I have a deep understanding of how Mourinho felt at the time. If I had known that the Chinese guy was so good, no matter how high the price you offered, I would not have taken over Chelsea Club."

Seeing Ancelotti keep complaining, Peter Kenyon had no choice but to listen honestly.

As the CEO poached from Manchester United after Abramovich acquired Chelsea, Peter Kenyon can be said to have witnessed the rise of Chen Ran and the Crystal Palace club with his own eyes.

Chen Ran, like Abramovich, both acquired the club in the summer of 2003.

However, neither Abramovich nor Peter Kenyon himself paid much attention to Crystal Palace, an unknown English Championship team.

But who would have thought that that unknown English Championship team would now become an insurmountable mountain in front of Chelsea.

As a client, Peter Kenyon personally experienced the battle of wits and courage between the two head coaches Mourinho and Ancelotti and Chen Ran.

Whether it is Mourinho or Ancelotti, they are considered to be the top coaches in the world, but they have been defeated by Chen Ran again and again.

Mourinho was even forced to go to Spain just to avoid the limelight of the Chinese.

Therefore, Peter Kenyon understands Ancelotti's current emotional vent very well, because he knows very well how difficult it is to defeat Chen Ran.

"Haha, Carlo, the hard days are finally over. We are now ahead of Crystal Palace and ranked first in the standings. As long as we don't make mistakes, we can firmly hold the initiative to win the championship in our own hands."

"Haha, Peter, you put it lightly. 'Don't make mistakes' is easy to say, but too difficult to do. Seeing that the winter transfer period is coming soon, you must add players to me."

While Ancelotti was busy complaining, he took the opportunity to make demands to Peter Kenyon.

This guy is the same as Mourinho, no one is a fuel saver.

Peter Kenyon looked at Ancelotti's fat face and cursed in his mind.

However, now he can be regarded as a grasshopper tied to the same rope as Ancelotti, both prospering and losing.

Boss Abramovich has previously said that if Chelsea fails to win the championship this season, not only will coach Carlo Ancelotti be kicked out, but he will also lose his position as CEO.

Therefore, Peter Kenyon patted Ancelotti on the shoulder very generously.

"I know, Carlo, just tell me whoever you want."

"Torres."

"Forehead......"

Hearing this familiar name, the corners of Peter Kenyon's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

"Carlo, can't you find someone else? I made an offer to Liverpool during the summer transfer period, but the other party rejected it without even discussing it."

"The current owners of Liverpool FC are not the two poor Americans who were old. The Qataris have more money than our owners. If they don't sell, there is nothing I can do."

Ancelotti also knew that what Peter Kenyon said was the truth, but he knew very well that "a child who cries gets milk", so he spread his hands and looked at Peter Kenyon.

"Peter and Shevchenko are getting older, and their competitive level has declined sharply. Although Drogba is an excellent center, his scoring ability is not very strong. Therefore, we at Chelsea urgently need a forward with high scoring efficiency.

"

"I know everything you said. However, if players are imported from other leagues, it is a huge question whether they can adapt to the pace of the Premier League."

"Torres does not have this problem. His performance in the past two seasons has fully proved his ability to adapt."

"No matter how you look at it, Torres is the most suitable candidate. Of course, if Peter can buy Cristiano Ronaldo from the Crystal Palace Club, then there will be no need to introduce Torres."

Ancelotti's last words almost made Peter Kenyon faint from anger.

Wang Defa, if I can buy Cristiano Ronaldo, Mourinho will not run away to Spain. Will Chelsea Club still have a place for Ancelotti?

Peter Kenyon, who rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart, forcefully suppressed his anger.

"Carlo, don't count on Cristiano Ronaldo. I don't know how many wealthy clubs have tried, but they were all rejected by the Chinese."

"In this way, I will contact Liverpool Club to try Torres. If the other party still disagrees, then you should stop persisting and choose other strikers honestly."

"clear."

...

Liverpool FC, President's Office.

After the eleventh round of the Premier League, Liverpool has now fallen to seventh place. Nasser Al-Khelaifi obviously could not accept this result and called sports director Antero Enrique to the office.

"Antero, please contact Guardiola again and see if he can come over to take over Liverpool in advance. Tell him that you can put forward any conditions and everything can be discussed."

"Um... Mr. President, Pere Guardiola has told me more than once that it is difficult to change the things decided by his younger brother. The other party does not want to leave a mess to Barcelona Club, which will seriously affect his career.

reputation."

Antero Enrique looked at Nasser Al-Khelaifi with a wry smile. He now has a deep understanding of the saying "Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."

"Antero, but you have seen the team's current results. They have fallen out of the Champions League qualification zone. If Liverpool loses the qualification to participate in the Champions League next season, there will be a big earthquake in the club."

Nasser Al-Khelaifi looked at Antero Enrique with a serious face and said word for word: "If this happens, not only will you be kicked out, but I will also be replaced.

.Understand?”

Antero Enrique's heart tightened when he heard this. It was then that he suddenly remembered that Nasser Al-Khelaifi was not actually the real owner of Liverpool FC. He was just a manager sent by the Qatari consortium to manage Liverpool FC.

To put it bluntly, he is just a wage earner like himself.

In order to keep his position as sports director who had just taken office and was not yet in the hot seat, Antero Enrique came up with a way out of a hurry.

"Um...Mr. Chairman, the winter transfer period will begin in a while. We were banned from signings in the summer. Now why not call Benitez to discuss what to do during the winter transfer period?"

Is it a matter of recruiting new players to supplement our strength?”

"Benitez?"

Nasser Al-Khelaifi gets angry when he mentions Benitez when he thinks about this guy taking last season's league runner-up to what he is now.

"Mr. President, the most important thing now is to keep the team qualified for the Champions League next season. At this time, the team cannot do without Benitez." Antero Enrique advised earnestly.

"Okay, just call him over."
