As soon as Real Madrid pressed on the attack, the loopholes in the back line were immediately revealed.
Before, they could take advantage of the number of people to help each other and complement each other to curb the performance of Ronaldo and Messi.
But now, they often have to face the challenges of Ronaldo and Messi one-on-one.
Marcelo on the left is okay. He is known for his speed and flexibility. In addition, his teammates come to help from time to time, and he has not made any major mistakes in defending Messi.
But now Ramos, who has returned to the right-back position, seems very difficult.
Fighting for speed, he is not Ronaldo’s opponent;
Fighting for the body, Ronaldo is not worse than him;
Fighting skills, that is even more than 108,000 miles away from Ronaldo.
It would be good if a teammate came over to help defend, but now that Real Madrid is already on the offensive, many times teammates don’t have time to come back to help.
When Cristiano Ronaldo broke through with the ball again, Ramos, who had just turned 23 years old, also exposed the shortcomings of playing frizz.
After being passed by Ronaldo again, Ramos became angry, and a flying shovel brought Ronaldo down from behind.
“what!”
C Luo screamed and fell to the ground.
“All!”
The referee on duty immediately blew his whistle and rushed to the foul spot without hesitation to show Ramos a red card.
“Fxxxk!”
On the sidelines, seeing Ronaldo injured and falling to the ground, Chen Ran “zeng” rushed out of the bench.
Special meow, Ronaldo must not be in trouble!
At this time, the referee also signaled the team doctor to the Crystal Palace bench to enter the field.
The team doctor, who was already waiting on the sidelines with a medicine box, rushed over immediately.
As the head coach, Chen Ran could only stand on the sidelines and worry.
Crystal Palace now has Kaka, Ribery, Toni, Modric and Chiellini out due to injury. If Cristiano Ronaldo, the absolute core, is injured again, it means that the main lineup is injured by more than half, which makes the back of Crystal Palace. How’s the game going?
Unfortunately, nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory.
Chen Ran, who was anxiously waiting on the sidelines, finally received the team doctor’s gesture of substitution.
“Fxxxk!”
Chen Ran, who has always been calm and calm, is now so angry that he is swearing.
Not only because of Ronaldo’s injury, but also because Crystal Palace has now used up three substitutions.
This means that in the remaining ten minutes of the game, Crystal Palace, who could have played more and less, had to deal with Real Madrid’s offensive with the same number of people.
“Leo!”
Chen Ran hurriedly called Messi to the sidelines.
“Boss, what are your orders?”
Hearing Chen Ran’s call, Messi immediately ran over.
“Leo, after Ronaldo is injured, for the rest of the game, don’t stay on the right, go to the front, hide behind Cavani and play a shadow striker, and the team’s formation will also become 432.”
“Then tell everyone else, except you and Cavani, stay in the backcourt to strengthen the defense. If you attack, let Cesc Fabregas and Beckham use long balls. Understand?”
“Got it, boss.”
Chen Ran took the time to adjust his tactics here, and Mourinho was not idle.
Although he and Ronaldo are fellow Portuguese, they are also clients of Mendes. But Mourinho couldn’t help but be overjoyed to see Crystal Palace’s most threatening player injured.
Immediately, he called up the Argentine defender Heinze from the Real Madrid bench.
Heinze can play both left-back and center-back, and is considered a versatile player on the defensive line.
After a simple warm-up, Mourinho replaced left-back Marcelo with Heinze and changed the team’s formation to 333.
At the same time, he also gave instructions to the players in Real Madrid to continue to attack.
At this time, as Ronaldo was carried to the sidelines on a stretcher, the referee also signaled the game to resume.
Chen Ran, who was worried, hurried over to ask about Ronaldo’s situation.
“Boss, I’m fine, I can continue to play.”
Cristiano Ronaldo, who sat up from the stretcher, looked at the ice packs on his ankles and seemed to think it was not a big problem.
Chen Ran ignored Ronaldo’s shouting and turned to look at the team doctor.
“I see that you made a substitution gesture. How is Chris’ situation?”
“Boss, I suspect that there is something wrong with Chris’ ankle, but the specific situation can only be determined by further examination at the hospital. However, for the sake of safety, Chris must not play in this game, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.”
“Okay, I see. You made the right decision, take good care of Chris.”
“Don’t worry, boss.”
At this point, the game has resumed, and after Chen Ran learned about Ronaldo’s situation, he quickly returned to the bench.
Taking advantage of Ronaldo’s injury, Chen Ran was forced to order Crystal Palace to shrink the formation to play a defensive counterattack. Real Madrid pressed on across the board and bombarded Crystal Palace indiscriminately.
Just as the game entered stoppage time and was about to end, Robben finally seized the opportunity to break through Alves’ defense and make a pass from the bottom.
In the penalty area, Benzema, who had just joined Real Madrid during the winter transfer period, rushed in front of Vidic, who was in charge of marking him, and a lion shook his head and pushed the ball towards the Crystal Palace goal.
Benzema’s header drew a bizarre parabola, flew over Cech’s fingertips in a near-lobe way, and fell into the Crystal Palace net. Real Madrid equalized the score at the last minute.
At this moment, the entire Bernabeu stadium suddenly boiled, and the Real Madrid fans cheered, as if Real Madrid had won the game.
On the sidelines, after looking at the game time, Chen Ran gave up the idea of using the system card, and he will clean up Real Madrid when he returns to the home court.
On the other side, seeing Benzema helping the team equalize, Mourinho was as excited as he was winning the Champions League. Running all the way along the sideline and playing a kneeling, the celebration is even cooler than Benzema who scored a goal.
Not long after the restart, the referee on duty blew the whistle for the end of the game.
In the end, with Benzema’s unbeatable goal, Real Madrid drew 1:1 with Crystal Palace at home, and Mourinho finally raised his eyebrows.
In another Champions League 8-4 game, Liverpool unexpectedly lost 1:3 to Chelsea at Anfield at home, which is very different from Benitez’s previous cup results that are stronger than league results.
Early the next morning, Chen Ran flew back to London with the Crystal Palace team.
No way, they only have two days off.
On April 11th, in the thirty-second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will also go away to challenge Middlesbrough.
In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo has to rush to the hospital for further examination, and Chen Ran hopes to get a good result.
Unfortunately, the inspection results were not as expected.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s right ankle ligament suffered a slight tear. Although it is not serious, if it is not handled carefully, it will be a huge hidden danger of serious injury in the future.
Hesitating again and again, Chen Ran finally chose to let Ronaldo rest and cooperate with the doctor’s rehabilitation treatment, so there is no need to rush back to the game.
“Boss, I don’t think it’s a big problem. You can come back before the end of the league, so that the Champions League final will not be delayed.”
Because the ligament was only slightly torn, Ronaldo’s pain is not strong now, and there is no obvious congestion and swelling. He feels that he will be able to play soon.
“Chris, just take care of your injury honestly. The doctor said that your injury is not serious, but if it is not completely cured, it will leave hidden dangers in the future.”
“For me, neither the Premier League nor the Champions League is as important as your health.”
“So, for you, the season is over. Your most important task now is to recover from the injury, understand?”
“Thank you boss!”
C Luo knew that Chen Ran was thinking of him, and he couldn’t help being moved.
In his growth experience, he has seen with his own eyes that the coach asked the players to play with injuries for the sake of the game results.
And now that more than half of the main players of Crystal Palace were injured, Chen Ran even thought about letting him recover from his injuries.
Such a boss is really rare.
The match between Crystal Palace and Real Madrid, of course, Mendes was also watching the match.
As his most important player, Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury made Mendes no less nervous than Chen Ran.
To this end, he also made a special trip from Spain to London to visit Ronaldo.
When Ronaldo told Mendes about Chen Ran’s decision, Mendeston fell silent.
After a long time, Mendes sighed and looked up at Ronaldo.
“Chris, if there are no special circumstances, I suggest you stay in Crystal Palace from now on. After all, there are fewer and fewer human bosses like Chen Ran.”
“Hey, Jorge, I think so too.”
After dealt with Cristiano Ronaldo’s affairs, Chen Ran took the Crystal Palace team to Middlesbrough’s home stadium, Riverside Stadium, without stopping.
According to Chen Ran’s plan, all the main players who had just finished the Champions League were put on the bench by him.
In the end, with goals from Cavani and Suarez and Kompany, Crystal Palace defeated Middlesbrough 3-1 away.
At the same time that he got three points, Chen Ran also got a “Level 1 Rehabilitation Card” from the system.
In other matches of this round of the Premier League, Liverpool beat Blackburn 4-0 at Anfield and continued to chase closely behind Crystal Palace.
When Chen Ran reviewed the video of Liverpool’s game, he found that Benitez had sent all the main lineup to play.
This is clearly abnormal!
You must know that the two rounds of the Champions League’s eight-in-four are played together, with a Premier League game in between.
Whether it’s Crystal Palace or Chelsea, or any other team that has participated in the Champions League’s eight-to-four competition, they have more or less rotated their personnel in their home leagues this weekend.
But Liverpool have sent all the main lineup in this Premier League. Are they going to give up the Champions League?
In fact, just as Chen Ran judged, Liverpool Club did make a decision to give up the Champions League and fully compete for the Premier League championship.
After losing 3-1 to Chelsea in the first leg at Anfield, two of Liverpool’s American bosses, Tom Hicks and George Gillette, brought Benitez over for a long talk.
No way, they are now negotiating with Qatar on the acquisition of Liverpool Club.
The team’s current win or loss of every game may be directly related to the success or failure of the acquisition negotiation.
Benitez is an academy coach, obsessed with the study of technical and tactical play, and he is not good at dealing with the world.
When the two American bosses asked him if he had the confidence to turn the game around at Chelsea’s home, Benitez said he wasn’t sure.
This time, both Tom Hicks and George Gillette were dumbfounded.
Even the frontline commander has no confidence in himself, how can we play this game?
Not only that, Benitez also admitted that even if Chelsea is eliminated, it will be more difficult to meet Crystal Palace in the future.
Hearing this, Tom Hicks and George Gillette were completely speechless.
The two looked at each other, and their hearts were really mixed.
After Benitez left, George Gillette looked at Tom Hicks helplessly.
“Tom, is our head coach a little too sincere?”
“George, in fact, I think it’s good to have a coach like Benitez. If he is like Manchester United’s Ferguson, it will be a headache.”
“That’s true. However, according to Benitez, are we Liverpool empty-handed again this season? This is not good for our negotiations with those Qataris.”
George Gillette complained with a worried look.
“According to Benitez’s judgment, we have very little chance of winning the Champions League.”
“But in the Premier League, we are five points behind Crystal Palace. Moreover, we have a direct match against Crystal Palace. Unless we can beat Crystal Palace, there is little hope of winning the Premier League trophy.”
Tom Hicks shook his head repeatedly while analyzing the current situation facing Liverpool.
“What should we do then? If so, what are we going to do to persuade those Qataris to accept that Liverpool has huge debts?” George Gillette got angry a little anxiously.
“Or, let’s give up one event and go all out to win the other event. George, do you think this will work?”
Thinking about it, Tom Hicks only came up with an alternative.
“Let’s do it like this, it can only be like this.”
George Gillette sighed helplessly, and then scolded fiercely: “Fxxxk! Which **** said those oil rich people are stupid and rich?”
So, after consulting Benitez again, what happened to Chen Ran, Liverpool decided to devote all their energy to the Premier League.
However, Chen Ran has no intention to pay attention to these things for the time being.
Because, the UEFA Champions League’s eight-in-four second round is about to start. .
