MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 56 Three birds with one stone

   Chapter 56 Three birds with one stone

  McCarthy returned to the locker room with a gloomy face, ignored anyone, went straight into the bathroom, and locked the door.

"boom!"

   A clenched fist slammed into the wall.

   humiliation, this is naked humiliation!

   "Chen Ran, you will pay for what you did!"

   At this time, McCarthy, who already understood that he was being tricked, said through gritted teeth.

   On the other side, in the dressing room of Crystal Palace.

  Chen Ran, as usual, did not lose his temper because the team was behind.

   "Everyone performed very well in the first half. Don't care about the penalty kick, it's just because the opponent is too cunning. Let's change the team in the second half and get the score back. Do you have any confidence?"

"Have!"

   replied forcefully, echoing in the small locker room.

   Well, the momentum is good, Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction.

   came to Thiago Silva, Chen Ran patted him on the shoulder.

   "Thiago, don't pay too much attention to that penalty. Strikers are always cunning, learn from experience in the future, just be more careful."

   "Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't do it well."

   "Haha, it doesn't matter. You are still young and inexperienced in the game, this is a normal thing. You don't think everyone blames you."

   "Yeah, Thiago, I was not as good as you when I was your age."

  Southgate also interjected at the right time to help Chen Ran enlighten Thiago Silva.

   Seeing that the boss not only didn't blame him, but instead came to comfort him, Thiago Silva's heart was considered to have put down a big rock, and he finally didn't have to worry about being hidden in the snow.

   In the future, you should train harder and make fewer mistakes, otherwise I'm really sorry for such a good boss, Thiago Silva made up his mind secretly.

"Guys, in the second half we returned to Simeone's defensive counter-attack tactics. Modric, you replace Yaya Toure to play the attacking midfielder; Cesc Fabregas, you replace Thiago Silva to play the midfielder; Gareth, you go back to centre-back. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

   As soon as the second half started, people were attracted by the substitutions on the sidelines.

  Crystal Palace changed two players at once, and they all replaced defenders with attacking players.

   Anyone who knows Crystal Palace can immediately understand the intention of Chen Ran's substitution.

   This is the horn of the attack.

   McCarthy was on the bench, watching all this coldly.

   At this time, he has become a head coach with no emotion.

   Anyway, now Sunderland has a goal in hand and the initiative is on his side.

   Didn't Crystal Palace want to pull the game back?

  Then let's compare and see if Crystal Palace is stronger or Sunderland is stronger.

  So, after shrinking by more than ten points before the end of the first half, Sunderland returned to an attacking posture in the second half.

  Sunderland's change made Chen Ran happy, and it seemed that McCarthy had really hit the mark.

  Chen Ran's previous series of actions had three purposes.

The first is to not want Cesc Fabregas to debut too early; the second is to ease the defensive pressure on Crystal Palace at that time; the third is to anger Sunderland's head coach McCarthy, so that he doesn't shrink back to defend after taking the lead. .

   Now it seems that the effect is good, and Chen Ran's three goals have been achieved.

   As soon as Crystal Palace adjusted their tactics, the two flanks that had been silent for the entire first half came alive immediately.

   In the first half, Ronaldo and Ribery have been busy helping the team defend. The few chances they had, also ended in conceding the ball due to lack of support, which made them very depressed.

   Now, with the passing support from Cesc Fabregas and the cooperation of Modric, they immediately began to continuously impact Sunderland's defense. It seems that he will double the anger he suffered in the first half to the opponent.

  Because Sunderland did not shrink the defense, this made Crystal Palace's attacking space very abundant, and it also greatly reduced the difficulty of Cesc Fabregas' passing.

   Soon, Cesc Fabregas' left and right scheduling made Sunderland suffer.

   First, Ribery on the right got the ball and then broke through with the ball, and passed a cross that allowed Tony to give full play to the advantage of the header.

   If it wasn't for the bravery of the Sunderland goalkeeper, who struggled to save the ball, Crystal Palace would have levelled.

   Followed by Cristiano Ronaldo, who was on the left, received a pass from Cesc Fabregas and rushed directly to Sunderland's penalty area after passing the two.

  Sunderland's defense is worthy of having experienced the baptism of the Premier League. Seeing this situation, there is no panic.

   There were those who stepped forward to block Cristiano Ronaldo's breakthrough route, and those who left double-teamed Tony to prevent him from grabbing points. This stumped Cristiano Ronaldo all of a sudden.

   He is now intercepting in front and chasing soldiers in the back, and Tony in the restricted area is also being stared at. For a while, Ronaldo didn't know what to do.

  The current Cristiano Ronaldo is still very young after all, far from reaching the realm of simplifying complexities and lifting heavy weights in later generations.

   According to Ronaldo's previous habits, he must be doing a few fancy fakes now. It's best to pass others. If he can't get through, he will force the door. As for whether or not to score, it depends on luck.

   However, since he was hanged by Chen Ran with a Porsche 911 as a carrot, passing the last choice has now become Ronaldo's first choice.

  Tony was stared to death, that must not be passed on.

  Ribery was too far on the right, and he was too short. In the penalty area, people blocked his position so tightly that he could not see clearly.

When    was worried, suddenly, Ronaldo saw a small man running near the arc of the penalty area, it was Modric.

  It's you. Cristiano Ronaldo, who had brought the ball into the dead end, flicked his ankle and passed an inverted triangle.

  Modric just scored a beautiful volley in the previous game. At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball again, and the defender next to him who inserted it hadn't had time to post it.

   is a good opportunity. Modric has a successful case of scoring goals before, and this time he did not hesitate to take another volley in the air.

"boom!"

   Like last time, Modric stretched the instep again to 90 degrees, and the ball was still so flat and so fast.

   However, this time the ball did not go to the goal, but hit the crossbar hard, and then bounced high into the air.

When   Tony saw it, he immediately rushed to the point where the ball landed, ready to fight for the header.

  Unfortunately, the defender who was in charge of marking Tony dutifully stayed with Tony.

  Tony's judgment on the ball's landing was accurate, but he was tightly bound to the ground and couldn't jump up. The ball was headed out of the penalty area by Sunderland's defender.

   But physics tells us that forces interact.

  While Tony was pulled and did not jump up, the Sunderland defender was also disturbed by Tony.

   Therefore, the ball that was pushed out of the penalty area did not fly far.

   Coincidentally, it just landed in front of Modric who had just completed a shot.

  Modric was also taken aback for a moment, does this mean that I should be kicked again?

   Then I'm welcome.

"boom!"

   Before the ball hit the ground, Modric went up and volleyed again.

   I have to say that the basic skills of Eastern European players are really solid.

   Hits the goal with two consecutive feet, Modric's footwork is exactly the same, almost no change.

   This time, the ball went straight into Sunderland's goal like a shell.

   Sunderland 1:1 Crystal Palace.
