MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 433 a little overhang
Under the command of Simeone, Crystal Palace's substitute lineup not only tied with Chelsea in 90 minutes, but even withstood the opponent's attack in extra time.
In the end, he lost 5:6 to the opponent in the penalty shootout, and unfortunately failed to advance to the FA Cup final.
Because the fight was too hard, the veteran Beckham was also injured, which made Chen Ran have one less player available.
It is only two days away. On April 13, Crystal Palace ushered in the 34th round of the Premier League. This time, they are going away to Hull City.
Crystal Palace, who played all the main force, easily defeated Hull City 3:1 with the goals of Ronaldo, Modric and Thiago Silva.

In other matches in this round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Bolton 1:0 at Stamford Bridge, and Manchester United also beat Blackburn 1:0 away.
Manchester City beat Birmingham 5:1 at home, and Liverpool also beat Fulham 1:0 at Anfield.
Arsenal lost the chain again, they lost 1-2 away to Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby.
With four games remaining in the league, Crystal Palace are four points ahead of Chelsea and five points ahead of Manchester United, boosting hopes of another Premier League title defense.
Three days later, on April 17, in the thirty-fifth round of the Premier League, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace to an away game against Sunderland.
Because this game was followed by the Champions League semi-finals, Chen Ran made a substantial rotation to Crystal Palace's starting lineup.
Despite most of the substitutes, Crystal Palace beat Sunderland 2-1 away with goals from Cavani and Dzeko.
At the same time that he got three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Rehabilitation Card" from the system.
And in other Premier League matches this round, there is also a strong dialogue that is very fascinating.
In the previous Manchester derby, Manchester United had an absolute advantage. But now that Manchester City has a new owner, it's hard to say who wins and who loses.
In the end, with Berbatov's magic ball, Manchester United defeated their rivals in the same city 1-0 away, and continued to keep their hopes of winning the championship.
Chelsea also showed no mercy. They beat Tottenham Hotspur 2:1 away and were also closely behind Crystal Palace.
The day after the match against Sunderland, Chen Ran flew to Germany with the Crystal Palace team. On April 21, Crystal Palace will usher in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. this
Back, their opponent is the Bundesliga hegemony Bayern Munich.
It is thousands of miles away in China, and this game has also attracted many fans.
As one of the earliest European leagues broadcast in China, Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga hegemon, has a large number of fans in the country.
And because of the appearance of Chen Ran, Crystal Palace has now come from behind and has become the most popular football club in the country.
Before the game started, Crystal Palace’s post bar was already hot.
"Ten games in 30 days, played at an average pace of one game every three days for a whole month. And at the end, you have to face a strong enemy like Bayern Munich directly. I don't know if Crystal Palace can hold it now?"
…
"Upstairs, don't you forget that Crystal Palace is in the middle of two Champions League games against Bayern Munich and a Premier League match against Liverpool."
"Fuck! From April 21st to April 27th, in six days, Crystal Palace will play three consecutive games against strong teams, which is exhausting, right?"
"Yeah, Crystal Palace has already injured a lot of main players, and now they don't even have a full-time defensive midfielder. How can they play in this game?"
"I'm going! Listening to you, why do I feel that Crystal Palace is a little hung up in this game?"
"It's not a little dangling, but very dangling!"
"Cough cough, upstairs you said that a bit too much. With that guy Chen Ran around, it doesn't matter."
"The one upstairs is Chen Ran's brain powder, and the identification is complete!"
"Go away! What is a brain-damaged fan? I have a factual basis. There was an injury in the past two years that was more serious than this season. Didn't Crystal Palace finally win the championship?"
"But even if the previous schedule is perverted, there has never been a situation where ten games have been played in thirty days. The donkeys of the production team can't do this!"
"Yes. Players are humans, not machines. Even machines need regular maintenance."
"Well, it's useless if we talk about it here, it's up to Chen Ran to see if he can get through this difficulty."
Bayern Munich's current head coach is the Dutch coach Van Gaal, who just took over the team at the beginning of the season.
Under his leadership, Bayern Munich swept away the slump of last season, with a wave of nine consecutive victories, returned to the top of the Bundesliga standings, and also reached the semi-finals in the Champions League.
Now that Bayern Munich is gaining momentum, Van Gaal is obsessed with winning the Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League treble this season.
This time, Bayern Munich met Crystal Palace in the semi-finals, and Van Gaal was very happy.
He left the Barcelona coaching position in 2003 and has since been coaching at the Dutch club Alkmaar.
This team is at most a mid-level team in the Eredivisie, with giant clubs like Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord on it, and the chances of qualifying for the Champions League are slim. , Van Gaal naturally has no chance to play against Crystal Palace.
For Chen Ran, a newly emerging junior, Van Gaal has long wanted to compete with him.
Now finally got this opportunity, Van Gaal deliberately carried out a wide range of rotations in the Bundesliga last weekend, and was ready to wrestle with Chen Ran's Crystal Palace.
Center Gomez, center Klose
Left MF Schweinsteiger, MF Van Bommel, MF Demichelis, MF Altintop
Left-back Alaba, center-back Van Buiteten, center-back Bad Stubel, right-back Lahm
Goalkeeper Bout
On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran also sent all the main players who can still play the game.
Although this is the home game of Bayern Munich, Chen Ran still decided to follow the plan made before to attack instead of defend.
Left winger Ribery, center Ronaldo, right winger Messi
MF Cesc Fabregas, MF Pepe, MF Modric
Left-back Chiellini, center-back Thiago Silva, center-back Vidic, right-back Maicon
…
Goalkeeper Cech
So, when the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, Van Gaal immediately saw that the Crystal Palace side was pressing on the whole line, posing as if he wanted to eat Bayern Munich in one bite.
This was completely beyond Van Gaal's expectations. Van Gaal, who was standing on the sidelines, turned his head and glanced at the Crystal Palace bench.
This is the Allianz Arena in Bayern Munich. Is this Chinese boy's coaching style so sturdy?
Chen Ran doesn't know Van Gaal's thoughts. All his attention now is whether Crystal Palace can suppress Bayern Munich on the road.
After all, the Bundesliga hegemony is not comparable to the weaker Premier League teams like Sunderland and Hull City.
The same tactics that worked well for Sunderland and Hull City might not work for Bayern Munich.
Fortunately, the striker combination of Ronaldo, Messi and Ribery is really strong. Field players had to come back to help.
As soon as Bayern Munich's midfielder recovered, the two forwards, Gomez and Klose, were left alone in front. The two people who were not supported were like kites with broken strings and could not pose any threat to the Crystal Palace's backline.
Seeing this situation, Van Gaal, who was still full of confidence before the game, couldn't help but nod his head.
You must know that Lahm and Alaba are already very strong full-backs, but they were a little bit unstoppable when defending Messi and Ribery.
And Ronaldo's playing style is completely different from that of a traditional center. He has been running out of the penalty area to cooperate with his teammates, which makes Bayern Munich's two central defenders Van Buiteten and Bad Stuber very uncomfortable.
These two guys are 196cm tall and 189cm tall, so they can't keep up with Ronaldo's speed.
Especially when Ronaldo ran out of the penalty area and then came back forward, Bard Stuber, who was in charge of marking him, was immediately left behind.
After Ronaldo shot twice through this move, Van Gaal immediately adjusted his defense on the field.
He told Bud Stuber to stop following Ronaldo out of the penalty area, and handed Ronaldo's defense outside the penalty area to the midfielder Demichelis.
The Argentina international is also a versatile player who can play at center back and midfielder, but because he often makes mistakes, Van Gaal dared not use him to play center back and arranged him to play midfielder.
However, Demichelis never disappoints.
When Ronaldo ran out of Bayern Munich's penalty area again to cooperate with Cesc Fabregas, Demichelis immediately followed the coach's latest instructions to take over the defense of Ronaldo.
Receiving a pass from Cesc Fabregas, Ronaldo first stepped on a few bicycles, and immediately kicked the door after shaking the angle.
"boom!"
Demichelis is also very dedicated. Although he was shaken by Ronaldo's bicycle just now, his second reaction was also very fast. He immediately turned around and stretched his foot to block Ronaldo's shot.
The ball just rubbed against Demicellis's foot, and the direction of flight suddenly changed.
At this time, Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Bout has already started to move ahead.
…
As soon as the ball changed direction, it was too late for him to turn around and save.
In desperation, Bout could only watch the ball fly into the goal he guarded.
“goal!
”
With Demichelis' own goal, Crystal Palace led Bayern Munich 1-0 away.
On the sidelines, Van Gaal, who saw this scene, almost wanted to slap himself.
Why let Demichelis guard Ronaldo?
Fortunately, Van Gaal is a famous coach after all. He quickly controlled his emotions and shouted that Bayern Munich's players began to press the attack. Van Gaal could not accept losing to Crystal Palace at his home.
If Yaya Toure and Mascherano were both in the past, after taking the lead on the road, Chen Ran might have started to play defensive counterattacks logically.
But now Crystal Palace only has a temporary cameo in midfield, Pepe, Chen Ran is really not sure whether the team can withstand Bayern Munich's offense.
Therefore, Chen Ran has no other choice. Even in the away game at Bayern Munich, even if the team is already leading, he can only continue to attack.
As a result, more than 70,000 Bayern Munich fans at the Allianz Arena saw that Crystal Palace was attacking as if they were possessed, as if it were the home court of Crystal Palace.
The two teams fought fiercely in the midfield. Bayern Munich tried to rush out to attack several times, but they were forcibly pressed back by Crystal Palace.
However, although Bayern Munich failed to regain the initiative in the game, Crystal Palace failed to score again until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
Intermission, Crystal Palace dressing room.
Looking at the drenched team members in front of him, Chen Ran knew that their physical energy was exhausted.
After such a high-intensity game, there are only two days of rest, and these main players will definitely not be able to participate in the Premier League against Liverpool.
"Boss, shall we replace the two attacking cores, Ronaldo and Messi, for a rest?"
Southgate also thought of the team's game against Liverpool two days later, and leaned over to Chen Ran to make a low voice suggestion.
"Forget it. We only have a one-ball lead now and it's not safe. Let's make sure to win the game first."
"In the game against Liverpool, substitutes were arranged. We are now four points ahead of the second-placed Chelsea, and even the worst result, we can afford it. Some games, you should give up when you give up. Understand?"
"Got it, boss."
After making up his mind, Chen Ran just encouraged some players as usual, and did not make any substitution adjustments.
On the Bayern Munich side, Van Gaal was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half of the game.
After lost his temper, he replaced Gomez with Croatian striker Olic, and replaced Altintop with teenager Muller.
Olic and Klose are partnered as two forwards, Müller is the attacking midfielder, and Schweinsteiger, Van Bommel and Demichelis form a midfield barrier.
The formation of the team also changed from 442 to 4312.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, I saw that Bayern Munich changed two players in a row, and all of them were used on the attacking line. Chen Ran knew that Van Gaal was going to launch a general attack in advance.
Olic has a completely different style from Gomez. As a dexterous striker, he drills in and out of the Crystal Palace penalty area after he plays.
In addition, Van Gaal added Muller as an attacking midfielder, and Bayern Munich's striker suddenly came alive.
Seeing this situation, Chen Ran's brows could not help but wrinkle.
