"..."

Chen Ran's heart felt as if ten thousand grass-mud horses were running past him. Was he trying to pull the wool over his own head?

However, he suddenly remembered something. Maybe he could take this opportunity to deal with it properly.

As Chen Ran talked with Vardy, some memories of Vardy from his previous life gradually came to mind.

This kid is not an easy man either. He goes to nightclubs, gets into fights, gambles, and has many of the common bad habits of English players.

At the age of 20, he was convicted of a fight outside a bar and had an electronic surveillance device installed for six months.

The most famous gossip incident of Vardy is that he married a female nightclub staff member who is five years older than him, despite the opposition of his family.

The most important thing is that this woman had given birth to two children with two men before dating Vardy.

For this reason, no one from Vardy’s family attended Vardy’s wedding.

Vardy is still only 16 years old now. Even if he has those bad habits, they are probably not deep and can be saved.

After all, this is a player who can still win the Premier League Golden Boot at the age of 33.

You know, Vardy plays as a forward, which is much more difficult than for midfielders and backfielders.

At least, he does a better job than most when it comes to staying in competitive shape.

With Vardy and Toni, Crystal Palace's front line should not be short of goals for many years to come.

For this reason, Chen Ran decided to work hard.

Just imagine, would Vardy be stronger without those bad habits?

Thinking of this, Chen Ran smiled what he thought was the most cordial smile.

"Jamie, it's not impossible to provide food and accommodation. However, there are conditions. It depends on whether you agree or not."

"Um...what conditions?"

Seeing Chen Ran's weird smile, Vardy couldn't help but feel a little cold.

"It's very simple. No fighting, no drinking, no gambling. If you can do it, the club will cover your meals and accommodation in London."

"that's it?"

Vardy looked at Chen Ran in surprise and asked uncertainly.

"That's all. However, if you are found to have violated the above agreement, you will have to pay all the fees. Do you understand?"

Chen Ran felt happy when he heard this. It seems that Vardy has not yet contracted those bad habits.

Think about it, whether it's nightclubs, drinking or gambling, you all need money. With Vardy's current income, who will pay attention to a kid like him?

"I understand. Boss, don't worry, I will definitely not violate it."

In order to show his determination, Vardy slapped his thin chest so loudly that Chen Ran was afraid that he would flatten it if he slapped it too hard.

After sending Vardy away, Chen Ran immediately called Stephen.

"Stephen, today's new trial player Jamie Vardy, you first have to sign a three-month short-term contract with him. Then have him find a host family for him, someone who is well-educated.

Family. Also, his accommodation and meals are paid for by the club."

Stephen was processing documents in the office at this time, and was stunned for a moment when he received Chen Ran's call.

Just for a trial player, Chen actually arranged it so carefully?

It seems that this newcomer is very valued by Chen.

After taking care of Vardy, Chen Ran began to prepare for the midweek game.

Next, Crystal Palace will face the challenge of a double match in a week. In the middle of the week, it will be a home game against West Bromwich Albion in the ninth round of the English Championship. On the weekend, it will be a home game against the fourth-tier team Doncaster in the League Cup.

West Bromwich Albion is currently ranked fourth in the English Championship, and like Sunderland, it is also a team that has just been relegated from the Premier League this season and is considered a strong opponent.

Fortunately, Modric performed well after switching to a new position, so Chen Ran has the dual-core driver of Modric and Cesc Fabregas, which also gives him a lot of room to adjust his formation.

Since the game was at home, Chen Ran still adopted Southgate's British 442 tactics.

Forward Tony,Forward Crouch

Left midfielder Ronaldo, central midfielder Modric, central midfielder Simeone, right midfielder Franck Ribery

Left back Chiellini, center back Southgate, center back Vidic, right back Maicon

Cech

Seeing Crystal Palace's starting lineup, West Bromwich Albion head coach Megson immediately knew the tactics used by Chen Ran.

As the English Championship continues, various clubs are now conducting more and more in-depth research on Crystal Palace.

The tactics used by Chen Ran were analyzed very closely, and they were nothing more than a back-and-forth between twin tower tactics and defensive counterattacks.

Home games use more twin-tower tactics, while away games use more defensive counterattack tactics.

I have to say that there are still many smart people in this world.

Chen Ran had already expected this. In the football world, it is very difficult to achieve success with one move, unless you can reach the top.

Therefore, in order not to be caught in the weakness, he started to create three sets of tactics for Crystal Palace early on, and required the players to be able to switch seamlessly during the game.

Unfortunately, due to Guardiola's serious injury, the practice of the third set of tactics has now come to a standstill.

What Crystal Palace can really use right now is Southgate and Simeone's two tactics.

And this, after so many games, has been understood by thoughtful people like Megson.

Before the game started, Megson predicted that Chen Ran would send out a twin-tower strategy.

To this end, he arranged a 541 formation with five defenders and three central defenders.

The three tall center backs are responsible for double-teaming Tony and Crouch. The left and right midfielders help the full backs contain Crystal Palace's wing attacks. The double midfielders guard the center. The single forward is responsible for harassing Modric or Cesc Fabregas and interfering with their organization of offense. .

That's right, Megson had no intention of winning.

Because he knows that if you want to compete in terms of offensive capabilities, West Bromwich Albion will most likely not be a match for Crystal Palace.

In this case, it's better to maximize your defense.

Megson's goal is simple, to get a share from Crystal Palace, which has been victorious so far, and interrupt Crystal Palace's winning streak.

When he saw Tony and Crouch in Crystal Palace's starting lineup, Megson was even more convinced that his judgment was correct.

"beep......"

With the referee's whistle, the ninth round of the English Championship, Crystal Palace's home match against West Bromwich Albion, officially began.

It was from this moment that Chen Ran's brows began to knit together.

Because he soon discovered that except for the forward, no one from West Bromwich Albion crossed the center line.

Damn it, this is another Sheffield United.

Chen Ran cursed secretly in his heart.

Before Guardiola's tactics were well practiced, what he feared most was this kind of intensive defense.
