Under Simeone's command, Crystal Palace's substitute lineup not only tied with Chelsea within 90 minutes, but even resisted the opponent's attack in overtime.

In the end, he lost to his opponent 5:6 in the penalty shootout and unfortunately failed to advance to the FA Cup final.

Because of his fierce fighting, veteran Beckham was also injured, which left one less player in Chen Ran.

It was only two days apart again. On April 13, Crystal Palace ushered in the 34th round of the Premier League. This time, they were going to challenge Hull City away.

Crystal Palace, which played for all the main players, easily defeated Hull City 3:1 with the goals of Cristiano Ronaldo, Modric and Thiago Silva.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Blood Recovery Card" from the system.

In other Premier League games this round, Chelsea beat Bolton 1:0 at Stamford Bridge, and Manchester United also beat Brookburn 1:0 away.

Manchester City beat Birmingham 5-1 at home, and Liverpool also narrowly defeated Fulham 1-0 at Anfield.

Arsenal once again lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby 1-2 away.

With four rounds left in the league, Crystal Palace led Chelsea by four points and Manchester United by five points, and hopes of defending the Premier League championship again increased.

Three days later, on April 17, in the 35th round of the Premier League, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace to challenge Sunderland away.

Because the semi-finals of the Champions League were followed by this game, Chen Ran made a large rotation of Crystal Palace's starting lineup.

Despite being sent to most of the substitutes, Crystal Palace still beat Sunderland 2-1 away with goals from Cavani and Dzeko.

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, there is another strong dialogue that attracts attention.

In the Manchester derby in the past, Manchester United had an absolute advantage. But now that Manchester City has replaced its new boss, it is hard to say who wins and loses.

In the end, with Berbatov's fairy goal, Manchester United defeated their city opponents 1:0 away and continued to maintain their hopes of winning the championship.

Chelsea were not ruthless, they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2:1 away and followed closely behind Crystal Palace.

The day after playing against Sunderland, Chen Ran took the entire Crystal Palace team to Germany. On April 21, Crystal Palace will usher in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals again.

Back, their opponent is Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich.

Far away from home, this game has also attracted the attention of many fans.

As one of the earliest European leagues to be broadcast in the country, Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich has a large number of fans in China.

Thanks to Chen Ran's appearance, Crystal Palace has now come from behind and has become the most popular football club in China.

Before the competition began, the Crystal Palace’s post bar was already very popular.

"Ten games in thirty days, playing for a whole month at an average pace of three days. And in the end, you have to face a strong opponent like Bayern Munich. I don't know if Crystal Palace can hold on now?"

"Upstairs, don't forget that Crystal Palace has another Premier League match against Liverpool in the middle of the Champions League two matches against Bayern Munich."

"Damn it! From April 21 to April 27, in six days, Crystal Palace will play three consecutive games with strong teams, which is going to be exhausting, right?"

"Yes, Crystal Palace has injured many main players, and now there is not even a full-time defensive midfielder. How can I play in this game?"

"I'll go! After hearing what you said, why do I feel like Crystal Palace is a little lingering in this game?"

"It's not a bit lingering, but very lingering!"

"Ahem, you're a little over the way upstairs said this. It's not a big deal to have that guy Chen Ran here."

"The one upstairs is Chen Ran's brainless fan, and the identification has been completed!"

"Get out! What is a brainless fan? I have a factual basis. There was an injury two years ago that was even worse than this season. Didn't Crystal Palace win the championship in the end?"

"But even if the previous schedule was abnormal, it would not take ten games in thirty days, so the donkeys in the production team could not do this!"

"That's right. Players are humans, not machines. Even if they are machines, they need to be maintained regularly."

"Oh, no matter how much we say here, it's useless. It depends on whether that guy Chen Ran has a way to overcome this difficulty."

......

Bayern Munich's current head coach is Dutch coach Van Gaal, who just took over the team at the beginning of the season.

Under his leadership, Bayern Munich defeated the decline of last season, won nine consecutive victories, returned to the top of the Bundesliga standings, and reached the semi-finals in the Champions League.

Bayern Munich is in full swing now, and Van Gaal is determined to win this season's Bundesliga, the German Cup and the Champions League triple-winning champions.

This time Bayern Munich met Crystal Palace in the semi-finals, and Van Gaal was very happy.

He left Barcelona's coach in 2003 and has been coaching at the Netherlands Alkmaar Club.

This team is at most a mid-range team in the Eredivisie, with giant clubs such as Ajax, Eindhoven and Feyenoord under their weight. The chances of qualifying for the Champions League are slim.

, Van Gaal naturally had no chance to fight with Crystal Palace.

Van Gaal had long wanted to compete with Chen Ran, a newly rising junior.

Now that we finally waited for this opportunity, Van Gaal specially performed a large-scale rotation in the Bundesliga last weekend, and made every effort to make an appointment with Chen Ran's Crystal Palace.

Center Gomez, Center Cloze

Left forward Schweiinsteiger, central forward Van Bommel, central forward Demikelis, right forward Altentop

Left back Alaba, central defender Van Biden, central defender Badstuber, right back Ram

Goalkeeper Butt

On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran also sent all the main players who can still play games.

Although this was a home game at Bayern Munich, Chen Ran decided to attack instead of defense according to the previous plan.

Left winger Ribery, center Ronaldo, right winger Messi

Central forward Fabregas, central forward Pepe, central forward Modric

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

Goalkeeper Chech

So, when the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Van Gaal immediately saw the Crystal Palace pressing the whole line, and posed for a bite of Bayern Munich.

This was completely beyond Van Gaal's expectations. Van Gaal, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Crystal Palace's bench.

This is at the Allianz Stadium in Bayern Munich. Is this Chinese boy's coaching style so strong?

Chen Ranke didn't know Van Gaal's thoughts. All his attention now was to pay attention to whether Crystal Palace could suppress Bayern Munich away.

After all, the Bundesliga overlords are not comparable to those of the weak Premier League teams in Sunderland and Hull City.

The same tactics are good for Sunderland and Hull, but may not be effective for Bayern Munich.

Fortunately, the forward combination of Ronaldo, Messi and Ribery is really strong. Bayern Munich's defense line, composed of four people, Alaba, Van Biden, Badstuber and Ram, was disrupted, causing the game to be

The players on the court had to come back to assist in defense.

As soon as Bayern Munich's midfielder recovered, Gomez and Klose, the two strikers, were left alone in front. The two people who could not get support were like kites with broken strings, facing the back of Crystal Palace.

The defense line cannot pose any threat.

Seeing this situation, Van Gaal, who was full of confidence before the game, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

You should know that Ram and Alaba are already very strong full-backs, but they can't stand it when defending Messi and Ribery.

Ronaldo's playing style is completely different from the traditional center. He has been running out of the penalty area to cooperate with his teammates, which makes Bayern Munich's two central defenders Van Biden and Bad Stuber very uncomfortable.

These two guys are 196CM tall and the other is 189CM tall, and they can't keep up with Ronaldo's speed at all.

Especially when Ronaldo ran out of the penalty area and then turned back and fucked, Bad Stuber, who was in charge of guarding him, was immediately left behind.

After Ronaldo made two shots through this move, Van Gaal immediately adjusted his defense on the field.

He told Badstuber not to follow Ronaldo out of the penalty area, but handed over Ronaldo's defensive task outside the penalty area to the midfielder Demi Kelis.

The Argentine international is also a versatile player who can play both central defenders and midfielders. However, because he often makes mistakes, Van Gaal dare not use him to play central defenders anymore and arranges him to play midfielders.

However, Demikelis never disappoints.

When Ronaldo ran out of Bayern Munich's penalty area and cooperated with Fabregas, Demikelis immediately followed the coach's latest instructions to take over the defense against Ronaldo.

After receiving a pass from Fabregas, Ronaldo first stepped on a few bicycles, shook the angle and immediately shot.

"Bang!"

Demikalis is also very dedicated. Although he was shaken by Ronaldo's bicycle just now, his second reaction was also very fast. He immediately turned around and stretched out his foot to block Ronaldo's shot.

The ball just rubbed Demikelis's feet, and the direction of flight changed immediately.

At this time, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Butter had already started moving his pace in advance.

Once the ball changed direction, it was too late for him to turn around and save.

In desperation, Butt could only watch the ball fly into the goal he guarded.

“GOAL!

!

!”

With Demikelis' own goal, Crystal Palace led Bayern Munich 1:0 away.

On the sidelines, Van Gaal almost wanted to slap himself in a big mouth when he saw this scene.

Why should Demikelis be asked to defend against Ronaldo?

Fortunately, Van Gaal is a famous coach after all, so he quickly controlled his emotions and shouted to Bayern Munich's players to start attacking. Van Gaal could not accept losing to Crystal Palace at his home court.

If it were when Yaya, Toure and Mascherano were both here, after taking the lead away, Chen Ran might have started to play a defensive counterattack naturally.

However, now Crystal Palace has only one temporary guest appearance as a midfielder in the midfield, and Chen Ran is really not sure whether the team can withstand Bayern Munich's offense.

Therefore, Chen Ran had no other choice. Even in Bayern Munich's away game, even if the team was already ahead, he could only continue to attack.

So, more than 70,000 Bayern Munich fans at Allianz Stadium saw that Crystal Palace was attacking desperately as if it was possessed, as if this was the home court of Crystal Palace.

The two teams fought fiercely in the midfield. Bayern Munich wanted to rush out to attack several times, but they were forced back by Crystal Palace.

However, although Bayern Munich failed to regain the initiative in the game, Crystal Palace failed to score again until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

Intermission, Crystal Palace locker room.

Looking at the wet team members in front of him, Chen Ran knew that their physical energy was consumed a lot.

After playing this high-intensity game, there is only two days off, and these main players will definitely not be able to participate in the Premier League against Liverpool.

"Boss, should we replace Ronaldo and Messi, the two offensive core players, to rest?"

Southgate also thought about the team's game against Liverpool in two days, so he came to Chen Ran and whispered his advice.

"Forget it. We only have one goal lead now, and it's not safe. Let's make sure to win this game first."

"In the game against Liverpool, we arranged for substitutes to play. We are now four points ahead of second place Chelsea. Even if the worst result occurs, we can afford it. In some games, we should give up. Do you understand?"

"I got it, boss."

After making up his mind, Chen Ran just encouraged the team members as usual and did not make any substitution adjustments.

And at Bayern Munich, Van Gaal was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

After losing his temper, he replaced Gomez with Croatian striker Olic and replaced Altentop with young player Muller.

Olic and Klose are paired with two forwards, Mueller serves as the midfielder, Schweinsteiger, Van Bomel and Demikelis form a midfield barrier.

The team's formation has also changed from 442 to 4312.

At the beginning of the second half, I saw Bayern Munich changing two players in one breath, and they were all used on the attack line. Chen Ran knew that Van Gaal was going to launch a general attack in advance.

Olic and Gomez have completely different styles. As a dexterity striker, he has been drilling around inside and outside the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace after he came on the court.

In addition, Van Gaal added Mueller as the front midfielder, Bayern Munich's forward line suddenly came alive.
Chapter completed!
