The game started very smoothly. In the sixth minute, the Brazilian team got a corner kick opportunity.

After Neymar took a corner kick, David Luiz, who was responsible for grabbing the lead, was interfered by the Colombian defender and no one was able to get the ball.

When the ball was leaked to the back point, Thiago Silva suddenly rushed out and blocked the ball into the Colombian net with his thigh.

"GOAL!!!!!"

Thanks to Thiago Silva's goal, the Brazilian team already led Colombia 1:0 in the first six minutes.

Seeing that the game was going so smoothly, the entire Castellan Stadium turned into a sea of ​​joy, and the fans seemed to have seen the result of the Brazilian team entering the semi-finals.

"Good guy, the Brazilian team played this game more easily than the previous games against Mexico and Chile."

"Hahahaha, this is the difference between using the bus tactic or not."

"That's right. Although the Brazilian team won those two games in the end, it took a lot of effort. Today's game against Colombia is probably easy for the Brazilian team to win."

"Now we have to see who will be Brazil's opponent in the semifinals between France and Germany."

"Brothers, since the Brazilian team has no suspense in this game, then I will go to the France-Germany battle."

"Go together, go together."

After Thiago Silva scored, not only the players on the field celebrated wildly, but even the Brazilian team's bench was filled with laughter.

Chen Ran, however, walked to the sidelines alone at this time, with a serious expression.

What's special, if I remember correctly, in a previous life, shortly after the game started, Thiago Silva received a corner kick from Neymar and scored the Colombian goal.

The process of this game is exactly the same as in the previous life.

Chen Ran glanced at Neymar, who was hugging his teammates to celebrate his goal, and felt extremely confused.

Would it be a bit exaggerated to replace Neymar now?

Chen Ran looked up again and looked at the time on the big screen in the stadium. The game had only lasted seven minutes.

If he replaces Neymar now, I am afraid that not only the fans and media, but also the player himself will think there is something wrong with his mind.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Ran gritted his teeth. No matter how much he was scolded, he would be scolded and he must nip the danger in the cradle.

Chen Ran immediately turned around and called William over who was celebrating the goal with his teammates.

"William, you go to warm up now and replace Neymar at left midfield later."

"What? Boss, are you telling me to replace Neymar?"

Although playing in the game is what every substitute player longs for, William still looked at Chen Ran with an incredulous expression.

Obviously, Chen Ran's order shocked William.

"Yes, you heard it right. Go warm up quickly, understand?"

"Okay, boss."

As William ran to warm up, everyone on the bench knew Chen Ran's latest instructions.

Everyone looked at Chen Ran as if he had seen a ghost, and several assistant coaches also came over to persuade Chen Ran to take back the order.

Chen Ran coached the Brazilian team this time and did not bring anyone from the Crystal Palace Club.

His assistant coaches are all local Brazilian coaches owned by the Figel family.

Although these people successfully helped Chen Ran quickly integrate into Brazil, a place he was unfamiliar with, compared to Southgate and Simeone, who had been following him for many years, they were obviously still unable to obey unconditionally.

The competition was ongoing, and Chen Ran did not have the time or energy to patiently explain his intentions.

He simply said with a straight face: "I don't care if you understand it or not, I will execute the order immediately. If something goes wrong, I will bear full responsibility."

Seeing that Chen Ran, who had always been kind and gentle, suddenly lost his temper, the others did not dare to say anything and went to carry out Chen Ran's instructions honestly.

Soon after the warm-up, William stood on the sidelines, waiting for the chance of a dead ball to replace him.

"Huh? It's only been less than ten minutes, and the Brazilian team is planning to make substitutions. Are any players injured?"

"I didn't notice anyone was injured. Did you see it?"

"No. It's been less than ten minutes from the beginning to now, and there haven't been any serious fouls."

"Strange, if it's not an injury, what does Chen Ran want to do?"

"Isn't it because you are leading the score that you plan to shrink your formation and play defensive counterattack?"

"Isn't that true? It's only ten minutes into the game. The Brazilian team won't be so outrageous, right?"

"Who knows what that guy Chen Ran thinks."

"Do not understand."

Soon, all the fans around the world who were paying attention to this game saw an incredible substitution.

Just ten minutes into the game, the Brazilian team replaced the team's offensive core Neymar with Willian.

"Substitute Neymar? Is Neymar injured? If so, it will be a fatal blow to the Brazilian team. I hope Neymar's injury is not serious and will not affect subsequent games."

Not only the fans couldn't understand this substitution, but also the commentators and guests from major TV stations around the world who broadcast the game were confused about the Brazilian team's substitution.

"Neymar also seemed shocked that he was replaced. He was stunned for a long time and then started running to the sidelines at the urging of the referee."

"Looking at Neymar's running posture, it doesn't look like he is injured."

"If Neymar was not injured, then why did coach Chen Ran replace him?"

"Could it be that Chen Ran thought that there was no suspense in this game, so he replaced Neymar in advance to preserve his physical strength to face France or Germany in the semi-finals?"

"But the game has only been played for ten minutes. At this time, I think that the Brazilian team will definitely win this game. Isn't it a bit too contemptuous of Colombia?"

"Haha, that Chinese guy probably won too many championship trophies and became arrogant."

On the sidelines, seeing Neymar reluctant to leave the field, Chen Ran went over to greet him personally.

"Neymar, we have basically won this game. You have a good rest and prepare for the next semi-final against France or Germany."

"Okay, boss, I understand."

After hearing Chen Ran's explanation, Neymar's expression became a little better. He didn't get angry and returned to the bench obediently and sat down.

Chen Ran was also helpless. He couldn't say that you would be injured if you kept playing, so he could only make up this excuse to get over the matter.

However, Chen Ran was only focused on comforting Neymar, but did not notice that there was a microphone for broadcast and radio on the ground not far behind him.

Now, the whole world knows the reason why he replaced Neymar.

"Holy shit! Isn't Chen Ran too arrogant? The game has only been played for ten minutes, and he is sure to win Colombia?"

"This is too arrogant. Has this guy Chen Ran won too many championship trophies and is starting to lose weight?"

"Ahem, Chen Ran is indeed a little too confident this time. It's not too late to replace Neymar during the halftime break."

"That's it. Don't you understand that you can save your character by being low-key? It's a bit suicidal to be so high-profile."

"It's good now, the whole world knows that Chen Ran looks down on Colombia."

"Chen Ran is usually such a thief, but this time he made a bad move."

At this time, Chen Ran didn't know that his words to comfort Neymar had been spread around the world.

Seeing that after replacing Neymar, the Brazilian team's offense was weakened, but overall it still took the initiative on the court, so Chen Ran felt relieved and sat back on the bench.

Until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, neither team scored again, and the Brazilian team entered the halftime break with a 1:0 lead.

In the Internet age, information spreads at an alarmingly fast speed.

When Chen Ran walked into the locker room, the assistant coach told Chen Ran what he had said to Neymar before and what had been picked up by the microphone.

Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he could only smile and shake his head.

It's amazing, now he finally understands what it means to be "a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis and can't express his sufferings".

After calming down, Chen Ran walked directly to the players of the Brazilian team.

"Guys, what I said to Neymar in the first half, the sound that this game has been won, has now spread around the world."

While talking, Chen Ran took the tablet from the assistant coach's hand and played the video again.

"Pfft."

Seeing the embarrassment of head coach Chen Ran, one guy couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Once someone took the lead, the rest of the group couldn't hold it in any longer, and the entire locker room suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

"Ahem, have you laughed enough?"

Chen Ran did not become angry, but waited for a while before speaking again.

"Now that I have announced to the world that our Brazilian team has won this game, I think you guys won't let me break my promise, right?"

While talking, Chen Ran glanced at all the team members with unkind eyes.

"Won't!"

"Boss, don't worry, we won't make it impossible for you to get off stage."
