   In the following game, Juventus launched wave after wave of offensive against Crystal Palace's back line.

   Fortunately, although a large number of Crystal Palace's main players are absent due to injuries, the injured are basically offensive players, and the personnel on the back line are quite complete.

   So until the end of the game, Juventus failed to equalize.

  In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Juventus 1-0 away with a penalty kick from Cavani.

   While taking the initiative to advance to the Champions League final, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Rehabilitation Card" from the system.

   After the match against Juventus, Chen Ran immediately flew back to London with the Crystal Palace team overnight.

  There is no way, two days later, on May 2, the thirty-fifth round of the Premier League will start again. This time, Crystal Palace are going to play Aston Villa away.

   Chen Ran's biggest headache now is that almost all the core players in Crystal Palace's attack are injured.

   If it wasn't for the two guys Suarez and Vardy who just ended the three negative effects of the "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card", he would not even have the forwards in the starting lineup available.

   In the face of the booming Crystal Palace, Aston Villa did not hesitate to use the bus tactic.

   The two young people, Suarez and Vardy, who did not have the blessing of the "first-level chicken blood card", also showed their true colors this time.

  Crystal Palace attacked Aston Villa for 90 minutes, but failed to break the opponent's goal in the end, and finally had to accept the result of a 0-0 draw by Aston Villa in the away game.

   On Liverpool's side, they don't seem to have given up their hopes of competing for the Premier League title, beating Newcastle United 3-0 at Anfield.

  Because Crystal Palace did not win Aston Villa, Liverpool took the opportunity to reduce the points gap to six points.

  With three rounds of the league remaining, they still kept their theoretical hope of winning the championship.

   However, Chen Ran has no time to pay attention to the Premier League. Because three days later, the second leg of the semi-final between Crystal Palace and Juventus will start again.

  Due to the serious shortage of manpower, even though the game was played at Crystal Palace's own home court, Chen Ran still arranged a defensive counterattack 532 formation.

   On the forward line, he partnered with Dzeko and Vardy, who had just finished three side effects of the "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card", as a double forward.

   As for the other players, Chen Ran was asked to stay in his own half to defend with all his strength.

   On the Juventus side, Ranieri, who had no way out, naturally came out in full force, and started a siege of Crystal Palace from the first minute of the game.

   Fortunately, Crystal Palace's defensive ability is tough enough. After the tenacious struggle of the players, they still did not allow Juventus to break the goal guarded by Cech.

  In the end, Crystal Palace drew Juventus 0:0 at home and successfully advanced to this season's Champions League final with a total score of 1:0 in two rounds.

   In another Champions League semi-final, Barcelona led by Guardiola drew 1:1 away from Chelsea led by Ancelotti.

   Counting the 0-0 score between the two teams at Camp Nou in the first round, although it was two draws, Barcelona eliminated Chelsea with the advantage of more away goals and successfully joined Crystal Palace in the Champions League final.

   This result immediately detonated the entire European football world.

  You know, Guardiola was Chen Ran's assistant coach last season.

   Who would have thought that after a season, this guy would be able to lead the team to a direct confrontation with his former boss in the Champions League final.

  Rarely, this is another talented coach in world football after Mourinho and Chen Ran?

The contest between Chen Ran and Guardiola immediately aroused the interest of many people.

   Everyone wants to see if it will directly replace Mourinho's position as he did when Chen Ran rose.

   Coupled with the grievances between Barcelona's current striker Yin Blahimovic and Crystal Palace, this season's Champions League final is bursting with enthusiasm.

   "Hahahaha, this year's Champions League final has a good show."

   is thousands of miles away in the country, and the fans of Crystal Palace are also watching the fun and don’t think it’s a big deal.

   "Alright, Guardiola used to be just that guy's assistant coach, Chen Ran. He can't compare to Chen Ran."

   "Cough, don't be too high-profile upstairs. Crystal Palace's injury situation this year has never been more serious. After all, the game is played by players. No matter how good Chen Ran is, no one can be used, so he can only stare blankly."

   "The reasoning above makes sense. Among the offensive players who are still able to play in the Crystal Palace of Temeow, there are only those young people left. The Champions League final is counting on them to score? I have no confidence."

   "Actually, those young players also performed well before, maybe they can bring surprises in the Champions League final."

   "Hehe, the people upstairs are too optimistic. Anyway, I dare not put my hope on them."

   "Then what if you don't? You have no one to use but them."

   "I said you guys are fighting for a fart. Haven't seen any scenes of chicken thief? With him, it doesn't matter."

   "Good guy, it turns out that the one upstairs is the most optimistic."

   "Otherwise? Do you have any other way besides trusting Chen Ran?"

   "That's true. I hope that guy Chen Ran can get through this difficult time."

  London, Crystal Palace Club.

   "This guy Josep, he came to London and didn't say come back to see us?" Southgate complained with some dissatisfaction.

   "After all, he is now the head coach of FC Barcelona, ​​and his identity is more sensitive, so it may not be convenient for him to come to see us."

  Simeone was more reasonable and defended Guardiola.

   In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Guardiola led Barcelona to London to challenge Chelsea.

  After the game, he returned to Spain directly with the team, and did not say that he would get together with these old friends of Crystal Palace Club.

"Josep is shaking now. This guy actually led the team to the Champions League final in his first season as head coach. And in La Liga, he is very likely to be able to beat Mourinho. Real Madrid won the league title."

  Southgate envied Guardiola and turned to look at Chen Ran with anticipation.

   "Boss, do you think that if I were the head coach of a team, I could achieve the same results as Josep?"

  Chen Ran was speechless for a while, it seems that Southgate was very stimulated by Guardiola.

   "It's hard, unless the team you are coaching is Crystal Palace. What, do you want to take over as the head coach of Crystal Palace?"

   "Well, I don't want it anymore. The position of head coach of Crystal Palace is too stressful, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

  Southgate was a little moved, but after hesitating for a while, he finally rejected Chen Ran decisively.

   "Diego, have you ever thought about going to a small team as the head coach to exercise?"

   Chen Ran was too lazy to pay attention to Southgate, who was not promising, but turned to look at Simone next to him.

   "Er boss, do you have any plans?"

  Simeone moved in his heart. It would be a lie to say that he is not envious of the achievements of his former colleague Guardiola.

   "For you and Gareth, I have some thoughts. Of course, this is all based on the premise of your willingness."

   "I plan to let you be the head coach of a club within the Galaxy Football Group, so that you can exercise your coaching ability, and you don't need to bear too much pressure."

   "Of course, except for Crystal Palace, the strength of other teams in the Galaxy Football Group is not very strong. So, whether you are willing to coach, it is up to you to decide, I will never force it."

   After listening to Chen Ran's plan, both Southgate and Simone were immediately moved.

   As Chen Ran said, he can exercise his coaching ability without taking too much pressure. This kind of good thing is only possible for the clubs within the Galaxy Football Group.

   Two people, you look at me, I look at you. Just when Southgate was still hesitating, Simeone took the initiative to stand up.

   "Boss, thank you for giving us such a good opportunity, I'm willing to try it out."

   Looking at Simone's tough face and determined eyes, Chen Ran walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

   "Diego, since you've decided to give it a try, don't worry about it, just do it with confidence. Even if it doesn't work, you can come back and continue to be my assistant coach. Understand?"

"thank you boss!"

  Simeone nodded heavily, thanking Chen Ran from the bottom of his heart. He knew very well that such a good boss is hard to find now.

   "After this season, I will sort out all the clubs in the Galaxy Football Group. Once there is a vacant position, I will arrange for you to go there. So you need to wait patiently for a while, understand?"

   "Understood! Boss, I'm not in a hurry. If there is really no position, I will stay at Crystal Palace Club and continue to be your assistant coach."

  Although Simeone has a tough face, he is still very measured.

   "How about you, Gareth?"

After    arranged Simone, Chen Ran turned to look at Southgate who was still thinking.

   "Er boss, I feel that I still have a lot of shortcomings. So, I decided to continue to study with you for a while."

   "Alright. You use more snacks, the England national team will need you to save them in the future."

  Spain, Barcelona.

   Guardiola's home, Pere Guardiola brought fine champagne to celebrate Barcelona's advance to the Champions League final.

"Pep, you are amazing. If all goes well, you might even win a La Liga and Champions League double in your first season as manager. Having a brother like you, I'm so lucky!"

  Pere Guardiola poured a glass of champagne and handed it to Guardiola himself.

   Guardiola shook his head and smiled bitterly as he reached for the champagne.

   "Pere, you are too optimistic. The La Liga championship trophy is not a big problem, but the Champions League title, I have no certainty now."

   "Haha, football is round, anything can happen, isn't that the charm of football?"

   "Besides, Crystal Palace is now full of wounded soldiers, but it is not the invincible Crystal Palace. No matter how good Chen Ran is, what can he do without players? Can he still play by himself?"

  Pere Guardiola shook his head disapprovingly. His younger brother is fine in everything, but he was deeply influenced by Chen Ran.

   "Peret, things are not as simple as you think. Crystal Palace has never lost in the final over the years. As long as Crystal Palace enters the final, the championship trophy must belong to Crystal Palace. There must be some unknown secrets in it."

   Guardiola is also puzzled by this, because 100% of the finals will win the championship. This probability is really incredible.

   He has been by Chen Ran's side for several years. It can be said that he has experienced all the finals before Crystal Palace, but he has never found out how Chen Ran did it.

   "It's a bit abnormal"

   Hearing Guardiola's words, Pere Guardiola, who was still in high spirits just now, calmed down.

   "Pep, according to what you said, Crystal Palace will definitely win the championship as long as they enter the final. How do you plan to deal with the Champions League final against them after Barcelona?"

   "I don't know either. I'm going to play Barcelona's usual tactical play, then be careful, be careful, be careful."

   After playing the Champions League with Juventus, Crystal Palace only rested for two days before ushering in the 36th round of the Premier League.

   This time, they played against Stoke City at the Emirates Stadium.

  Because he had just played against Juventus, Chen Ran sent a large number of substitute players in this game.

   On the Stoke side, they unsurprisingly adopted the bus tactic.

   As a result, several young strikers who did not have the support of a "first-level chicken blood card" still failed to help Crystal Palace win.

   If it wasn't for Beckham's free kick to score a goal, Crystal Palace almost failed to get the 1:1 draw.

   It's not that Chen Ran doesn't want to win, but that after using the "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card" a lot before, the stock is in a hurry. He had to prepare for the Champions League final, so he had to sacrifice the Premier League.

  After the draw with Crystal Palace, Liverpool beat West Ham United 3-0 away.

   This time, the points gap between the two teams has been reduced from six to four.

  With two league rounds remaining, Liverpool stubbornly retained their theoretical hope of winning the title.

   A week later, in the penultimate round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace went back to face Bolton.

Although   Suarez scored a goal, Crystal Palace was still tied 1:1 by Bolton, and Liverpool easily won West Bromwich Albion 2:0 away.

  With only the last round left, the points gap between the two teams has been reduced from four points to two points.

   And Crystal Palace's opponents in the final round of the Premier League are:

  Manchester United!
