Chapter 25 - Unnamed

 The next day, during training, Guardiola and the other three suddenly discovered that Ronaldo had started passing the ball.

 Although the timing of the pass is not very good, it is at least a good sign.

 What's going on?

They just reported Ronaldo's matter to the boss yesterday, and Ronaldo started to correct it today?

 What magic did the boss use to do this?

 Or are the three of us too incompetent?

Guardiola, Simeone and Southgate looked at each other in confusion. Is the gap between themselves and their boss so big?

Since everyone is familiar with the British style 442, the training results are good. With various positions, running positions, passing and cutting, you can quickly play decently.

 At this time, Chen Ran felt that it was time to give them a little more difficulty.

 Thus, the painful moment for the Crystal Palace players officially began.

 "Quick, move faster, change into Simeone."

 Chen Ran was no longer speechless. After the main lineup played English 442 in the 60-minute internal teaching match, he immediately asked the team to change to Simeone's defensive counterattack tactics on the court.

As a result, the players on the field immediately fell into chaos. Some people ran into the wrong position, and some people remembered the wrong responsibilities. Anyway, it was a mess.

"Fxxxk, where is your brain? How many times have you said it? How many times have you practiced it? How can you still remember it wrong? Are your brains fed to pigs?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. This was the first time that everyone saw Chen Ran lose his temper and curse.

No one dared to say anything and started over honestly.

In the following days, Chen Ran either temporarily changed the tactics from Southgate to Simeone in the internal teaching game, or changed the tactics from Simeone to Southgate.

You must know that different formations have very different requirements for players.

 So, people are scolded by Chen Ran every day.

Chen Ran was also helpless. This was just switching between two formations, and it became such a mess.

If you add Guardiola's tactics, which are the most difficult to implement, can you still watch it?

 There is no other way, Chen Ran can only practice it over and over again, hoping to form muscle memory. In the future, whenever they hear the code name for formation changes, the players will immediately know what they should do.

 Fortunately, before the start of the English Championship, the tactical conversion drill finally yielded some results, and he was finally able to meet people.

On August 9, in the first round of the English Championship, Crystal Palace faced Burnley at home.

 After Chen Ran's constant hype, Crystal Palace has now become the most popular team in the English Championship.

  It's not that Crystal Palace is the strongest, but it's the hottest topic.

Coupled with a wave of consecutive wins in the warm-up matches, both the media and fans are eagerly looking forward to the start of the league. Everyone wants to see whether this new Crystal Palace is worthy of its name.

The game started at three o'clock in the afternoon, but many fans came to the stadium early, wearing jerseys and singing the team song in unison, and the scene was very lively.

 When Chen Ran walked off the bus with the players, he was immediately warmly cheered by the fans.

Although Chen Ran, the new owner of the team, is often eccentric and does some incredible things.

However, it is undeniable that since Chen Ran arrived, Crystal Palace, a small and transparent club in the Greater London area, has immediately transformed into a popular team comparable to giants such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Now, Crystal Palace has become a frequently talked about topic among fans all over England, which also makes Crystal Palace fans feel proud.

 So, although fans still feel that the club chairman personally serves as the head coach is a bit unreliable. But a winning streak in the pre-season warm-up matches gave them new hope.

Perhaps our new boss is really a genius coach?

There are many fans who hold this idea. Everyone wants to see with their own eyes whether Chen Ran is the material to be a coach.

In addition, many Londoners who were not Crystal Palace fans also came to join in the fun out of curiosity about Chen Ran.

 As a result, Crystal Palace, a small and dilapidated home stadium that can only accommodate more than 26,000 people, was actually full for the first home game of the new season.

 "So many people!"

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that the attendance rate would be so huge, right?"

 "The attendance rate for an ordinary English Championship game is so high?"

"With that Chinese guy here, how can you say this is an ordinary Championship game?"

"That's true. That guy is so good at hyping himself up. Didn't he also work in the media before?"

"I don't know. But this guy is very cunning. He avoided all the holes we dug for him. He only takes advantage and does not suffer any losses. He is really a little fox."

"Hehe, don't be impatient, no matter how cunning a fox is, he can't defeat a good hunter. How long has he been in England? There will be a long time ahead, let's take our time."

Today, not only the fans are enthusiastic about watching football, but also the media.

The competition hasn't even started yet, and these media reporters have already prepared their articles in their hearts.

If Crystal Palace wins, then continue to praise Chen Ran and praise him as high as possible;

If Crystal Palace loses, things will be more interesting, hehe.

Chen Ran has no intention of paying attention to the gossips of media reporters right now.

 British stadium design is extremely beneficial to the atmosphere of the venue.

 The auditorium is close enough to allow face-to-face communication with the players, so that all reactions of the audience can directly impact everyone in the stadium.

Even though Selhurst Park, the home stadium of Crystal Palace, can only accommodate more than 26,000 people, when it is full, the effect is still amazing.

Now, Chen Ran was completely shocked.

Although the game hasn't started yet, the Crystal Palace team song that was sung loudly by the audience still made Chen Ran's blood boil with excitement, and he was shaking slightly with excitement.

Perhaps this is the charm of football.

 Burnley coach Stan Tennant was also surprised by the atmosphere at Crystal Palace's home court. He is not a rookie like Chen Ran. He has brought his team to Selhurst Park for games not once or twice. When has it ever been full?

 Stan Tennant turned back and glanced at Chen Ran, who had just shaken hands. It was probably this Chinese man who was responsible for this.

This guy is very good at hype, and he can make a team as mediocre as Crystal Palace look good.



But that's okay, in a game with such a high level of attention, if I can win Crystal Palace cleanly, wouldn't I be showing off my face in a big way?

  In tomorrow's newspaper, your name and even a photo will inevitably appear.

Well, you must seize such a good opportunity to increase your visibility.

Thinking of this, Stan Tennant couldn't help but feel satisfied.
