Chapter 114 Influence Out of the Circle
Seeing Brian Robson's actions, Chen Ran felt helpless.
With Crystal Palace's winning streak, Chen Ran has now been put in the spotlight, and his tactics have been carefully studied with a microscope.
I still want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger like before, and make a fortune in silence. Obviously, it is impossible.
Now the physical condition of the players is not good, and Guardiola's tactics that consume a lot of physical energy are not dare to use. Now we will see if the simple and rude twin towers tactics can blast the goal of West Bromwich Albion.
Unfortunately, Brian Robson was obviously prepared for Crystal Palace's twin tower tactics.
After West Bromwich Albion replaced the tall central defender, Albrechtsen and Schimeka among the three central defenders were responsible for double-teaming Tony who had just been replaced, and the rest of Gardso was responsible for staring at Crowe. strange.
Right back Contra and right midfielder Greening, one closely pressed Cristiano Ronaldo, while the other protected him from being easily passed by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Left back Robinson and left midfielder Johansson are also responsible for flanking Alves like the right.
Bryan Robson has completely given up on offense, and he has also replaced Kanu, the only striker. There are three defensive midfielders at the front of the penalty area, just like a 550 formation.
This is to stay with Crystal Palace to the end.
Chen Ran observed for a while and saw that Crystal Palace's offense still failed to score a goal under the strict defense of West Bromwich Albion.
In the 60th minute, he replaced Alves with Ribery.
This time, Chen Ran ran out of three substitutions early.
The current offensive combination of Crystal Palace on the field, except for Modric's absence, is basically the strongest lineup.
Cesc Fabregas kept sending the ball to the two flanks before Ronaldo and Ribery passed into West Bromwich Albion's box, and Crystal Palace's players blasted around the goal guarded by Kuzzak. Indiscriminate bombing.
65 minutes, 70 minutes, 75 minutes
Time passed little by little, but Crystal Palace never broke the deadlock on the field.
Chen Ran saw that there was not much time left, and immediately called Vidic from the sidelines.
Southgate and Simeone did not play in this game, and Chen Ran appointed Vidic the captain on the spot.
"Nemanja, don't play central defender now. Call Chiellini and you two go to West Bromwich Albion's penalty area to grab a header."
"Got it, boss."
Vidic also understood that the time was pressing, and without any hesitation, he went back to call Chiellini and rushed to the penalty area of West Bromwich Albion.
Brian Robson was dumbfounded. He suddenly had two tall men in his penalty area. He didn't have that many defensive players to deal with.
This Chinese is too crazy.
Bryan Robson looked towards the backcourt of Crystal Palace, now only goalkeeper Cech and only central defender Thiago Silva are left.
Even so, Thiago Silva's position has been mentioned near the arc of the middle circle. And Cech's position is on the line of the Crystal Palace's big penalty area.
This is completely ignoring West Bromwich Albion's counterattack.
Bryan Robson hated himself for replacing Kanu, the only striker, too early, which made Chen Ran let go of the attack so recklessly.
Chen Ran's adjustments quickly paid off.
Vidic is 191cm tall and Chiellini is 187cm. The addition of these two new forces immediately made West Bromwich’s defense lose sight of the other.
Bryan Robson was temporarily transferred to mark the two big and tall fullbacks Contra and Robinson. No matter in terms of height or heading ability, they were not opponents at all.
When Ribery once again passed the ball into the West Bromwich Albion penalty area, I saw Tony, Crouch, Chiellini, Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo rushing from the left,
A total of five Crystal Palace players with a height of over 187cm, distributed in the front, middle and back three points, competed for the ball to land at the same time.
"boom!"
I saw Vidic jumping high and smashing the ball into the goal guarded by Kuzzak.
"Goal"
Chen Ran couldn't help shouting on the sidelines, and finally scored.
At this point, the game has reached the eighty-fifth minute.
Chen Ran wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, so meow, he was so nervous that he was sweating.
let out a long breath, Chen Ran picked up a bottle of mineral water by the side of the court and took a few gulps.
suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned around and shouted at the Crystal Palace players who were celebrating:
"Nemania, George, you two are still going back to play guard. From now on, the formation will shrink, and I will go back to defending!"
"Understood, boss!"
"Don't worry, boss, we'll leave the rest to us."
Crystal Palace's players are now very familiar with their coach's coaching style. Once they take the lead, they start to play defensive counterattacks. Everyone is used to it.
Chen Ran shouted like no one was on the sidelines, his adjustments were not only heard clearly by the people next to him, but also by Brian Robson on the other side.
"Fxxxk!"
Bryan Robson's face darkened when he heard this. This Chinese man is really straightforward, and he didn't hide his intention to defend at all.
No way, who made Brian Robson's cards run out?
He used all three substitutions to strengthen West Bromwich Albion's defense. Now he just wants to attack, and there are no offensive players on the field.
So, in the remaining minutes, West Bromwich's limp attack, like a tickling, did not pose any threat to Crystal Palace.
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle of the end of the game, Crystal Palace beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at home with Vidic's lore goal.
In the case of an extremely unfavorable schedule, Crystal Palace made the first ten consecutive wins in the Premier League.
While getting three points, he also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of 2 million euros.
And what makes Chen Ran the most is that Manchester United defeated their old rival Arsenal 2-0 at Old Trafford in the highlight of this round of the Premier League.
This can be regarded as a big favor for Crystal Palace. The difference between Crystal Palace and Arsenal has now widened to five points.
In other games, Chelsea beat Blackburn 4-0 at home and Liverpool beat Charlton 2-0 at home.
In the standings, Crystal Palace has won 30 points with 10 games, Arsenal have 25 points with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and Chelsea have 22 points with 7 wins, one draw and two losses.
Crystal Palace had been winning streak before, and the enthusiasm of Chen Ran and the team began to heat up.
Now on a ten-game winning streak, it also leaves the second-placed Arsenal by five points.
The effect of double superposition is that Chen Ran's photos once again appeared on the pages of major media in England.
"Ten winning streaks, Crystal Palace created the best start to the English top flight!"
"Crystal Palace continues to widen the points gap with Arsenal, and the appearance of champions is undoubtedly revealed."
"The biggest beneficiary of the battle between Manchester United and Arsenal turned out to be Crystal Palace!"
"That Chinese man is fulfilling his promise step by step. Does Crystal Palace really hope to become a new giant club?"
"The era of Chinese **** of the Premier League is coming!"
"The latest data from the gaming company shows that the funds that are optimistic about Crystal Palace winning the Premier League title this season have increased sharply!"
In China, which is thousands of miles away, more and more domestic fans are paying attention to Crystal Palace.
Some netizens have set up a post for the Crystal Palace Club on the newly established Baidu Post Bar, which immediately became a base for domestic Crystal Palace fans to gather and communicate.
"Have you watched the latest Premier League? Crystal Palace has won ten games in a row."
"Of course I watched it. Not only did I watch the Crystal Palace game, but I also watched the Manchester United game against Arsenal. Hehe, I didn't expect Sir Alex to be really helpful."
"Haha, that's right. Manchester United beat Arsenal and extended Crystal Palace's lead to five points. It's called 'the snipe and the clam, the fisherman wins'."
"However, Crystal Palace's victory in this game is still hanging in the balance, and only one goal was scored at the end of the game."
"There's no way, who made the British match schedule too perverted. Crystal Palace's Premier League and UEFA Cup games are only one day apart, and Crystal Palace has to fly back to England from Greece. No one can handle it. "
"That's right. It would be nice to win this game. Didn't you see the last moment, did Chen Ran assign both defenders to center?"
"I don't have high expectations. As long as Crystal Palace can continue to win, I don't think it matters that much."
“+1.”
“+2.”
“.”
“+10086.”
After playing this Premier League, Crystal Palace can finally take a breath.
However, for the third round of the League Cup three days later, Chen Ran's attitude was still used for training.
It’s good to win, but it doesn’t matter if you lose and get eliminated.
Anyway, Chen Ran will never let the League Cup match drag down Crystal Palace's progress on other fronts.
After all, Chen Ran really doesn't like the 500,000-euro winning prize.
Therefore, in this League Cup game away to Charlton, Chen Ran didn't play any of the main players, and all the substitutes and young people were used.
Even the on-the-spot command of this game, Chen Ran, was completely handed over to Guardiola.
The whole game, he sat on the bench without saying a word, letting Guardiola play to his heart's content.
The funny thing is, because Charlton is also a Premier League team now, just like Crystal Palace, they have to play the 11th round of the Premier League just one day after today's League Cup game.
So after seeing that their opponent in this round of League Cup is Crystal Palace, which is currently top of the Premier League table, Charlton coach Alan Kirbishley made the decision to give up this League Cup game.
What he sent to Charlton was also a bunch of substitutes and young players.
This is good, bench to bench, rookie to rookie.
A good League Cup game was turned into a weak chicken by the coaches of the two teams.
As a result, the Crystal Palace players led by Guardiola eliminated Charlton 2:1.
When advanced to the fourth round of the League Cup, it also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of 500,000 euros.
Seeing this result, Chen Ran was dumbfounded.
Well, it's always good to win.
As Crystal Palace continued to win games, its influence quickly spread.
has not only attracted the attention of the English media, but has even spilled over to the British financial sector.
After all, the City is in London, and so is the Crystal Palace.
Practitioners in the financial field, regardless of their status or age, many of them are fans.
When they chatted after dinner, they would inevitably talk about football, the Premier League, and even the amazing performance of Crystal Palace this season.
As Crystal Palace has won one game after another, everyone's attitude towards Crystal Palace has grown from disdain, doubt, surprise to admiration.
And all of this is slowly reflected on the bank representative who is negotiating with Crystal Palace.
"Chen, I have good news for you, our loan is on the way."
It was Stephen who was talking, and he rushed into Chen Ran's office excitedly, his face flushed.
"Really or not? Didn't you say we have to wait until we get the Champions League spot next season?"
Chen Ran also looked at Stephen in surprise, this guy rarely had such an excited expression.
"Haha, it's not because of the good results you led the team! In the past, those guys would pick on faults and find faults, and now they will also talk to me about the Crystal Palace game. The attitude is simply a 180-degree turn."
"Oh? Is that so? Haha, this is really a good thing. What are their conditions now?"
"The interest rate given by these banks is not much different, basically about 10%. But there is a problem that the amount we want to loan is 200 million euros, but none of these banks are willing to give such a high amount."
"How much is the bank with the most loans willing to lend?"
"50 million euros, still our old customer Barclays."
"Fifty million? That's too far from two hundred million."
Chen Ran calculated in his heart, only a quarter of the plan, even if the funds promised by the system are added, it is definitely not enough.
"Stephen, fifty million is definitely not enough, it's too far. In this way, you can talk to these banks one by one and see if they are willing to form a bank group and jointly lend. 100 million euros should not be difficult.”
"Huh? This is a good idea. Chen, you are still smart."
Stephen slapped his thigh and felt that Chen Ran's idea was a good idea and very feasible.
"Stephen, if they are willing to jointly lend money, you can put forward another condition at that time. Let these banks be responsible for clearing the approval procedures for new stadiums. They must have something to do with this aspect, which is much easier than we handle it ourselves."
Chen Ran added another sentence, these big banks are deeply rooted, and there are ready-made resources that do not need to be used in vain.
"Well, Chen, you're right. There are predators behind those banks, and their words are much more useful than ours. Don't worry, I'll take care of these things."
Stephen assuredly assured.
The things that have been busy have finally made substantial progress, how can this not make people feel good?
