Chapter 29 - Unnamed

  The next day, Chen Ran's news appeared on many media pages again.

   "Crystal Palace beat Burnley with four goals and got a good start to the season, topping the Championship standings."

   "The rookie coach Chen Ran has won the first official game of his career, and it is only a small goal to be promoted to the Premier League."

   "Chen Ran, is that another talented coach?"

   "The art of war that has been passed down in China for thousands of years has appeared in the British Championship."

   "Chen Ran played the Burnley coach all over the place."

   "Without a prominent professional experience, will Chen Ran be the next Mourinho?"

   "There is reason to believe that it is only a matter of time before Chen Ran becomes a world famous coach like Ferguson and Wenger."

   These media reporters tried their best to put Chen Ran's smoke bombs in the warm-up match, and successfully deceived Burnley coach Stan Tenant to make a wrong lineup.

   Then in the middle of the game, after Stan Tenant made a corrective action, he changed back to his previous tactics.

   A game played with Stan Tennant twice to add fuel to the story. He tried his best to exaggerate it, and it was almost a storytelling story.

  Because of so much momentum, Burnley manager Stan Tenant was hiding from anyone.

   For a while, Chen Ran's popularity reached a new high, becoming synonymous with talented coaches.

   However, in fact, Chen Ran just led the team to an official game.

   Special meow, flattering, this is naked flattering!

   Chen Ran's life is also difficult now. The apartment he rented has long been surrounded by paparazzi.

   caused him to pull the curtains tightly during the day, and to see what was going on outside, he could only stand on the side of the curtains and quietly look out from the gap.

  I don't know, I thought he was filming a spy war drama.

   He and Cheryl are now stared at every time they go out, and they will never be spared.

   Fortunately, the season has already started, and Chen Ran is basically going from home to the training base, two points and one line.

   The daily training content he arranged, in addition to reviewing Simeone's tactics and Southgate's tactics, also began to allow Guardiola to slowly instill new styles of play in the players.

   Facts have proved that it is not an easy task for players to master three completely different tactics at the same time.

   Chaos, as expected.

   Moreover, it was more serious than when Chen Ran asked his players to practice tactical transitions before, which scared him to stop Guardiola's tactical drills.

   Now that the season has started, winning is the most important thing.

   Many of Chen Ran's plans are waiting for the system's winning bonus to be implemented. He doesn't want to lose the big because of the small.

   "Josep, your tactics are too demanding, and you have seen the situation of the players. Now that the season has started, we can't make too many adjustments, otherwise it may affect the team's results."

   "Then why don't I practice this set of tactics?"

   Hearing Chen Ran's words, Guardiola was a little frustrated. But he can also understand Chen Ran's decision, after all, the team's performance is the most important.

   "It's not that you don't practice, but you can only practice slowly. In this way, starting from tomorrow, after the practice of Simeone tactics and Southgate tactics, you will first lead the players to practice passing and cutting coordination."

   "Let's lay a solid foundation first, and then you will break down your tactics into several parts, and we will train in stages. After one part is practiced proficiently, we will start training the next part."

  "I believe it will be much easier to let the players adapt to your tactics after each part is proficient. What do you think?"

   "Huh? This is indeed a good idea."

   Guardiola's eyes lit up, and the boss's head is still smart.

  This is like building a ship. It is built in sections and then assembled together, which greatly improves the efficiency.

   "Boss, you are right, just do it like this."

After    was solved by Chen Ran, Guardiola's spirit was lifted.

   The feeling of being a little depressed just now vanished, and he was full of fighting spirit again.

   A week later, Chen Ran ushered in the second round of the British Championship.

  Crystal Palace vs Watford.

  Chen Ran did not make a surprise attack this time, and still sent the twin-tower combination of Tony and Crouch.

  The coach of Watford certainly learned the lessons of Burnley, and their strength was not as good as that of Crystal Palace, so Watford simply sent a five-back lineup and huddled behind to play a defensive counterattack.

  Crystal Palace's Guardiola tactics have not been perfected, and there is really no good way to deal with this iron barrel formation.

  Fortunately, there are twin towers. Under the continuous delivery of cannonballs from the two flanks of Ronaldo and Ribery, Tony finally scored a header in the 74th minute.

  In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Watford 1-0.

   In addition to gaining three points, another 1 million euros was received.

   After the game, those good British media began to promote Crystal Palace's two-game winning streak, and Chen Ran was a talented coach.

  Chen Ran was too lazy to take care of him at all, and his mind was now on the upcoming next opponent, Wimbledon, known as the "Crazy Gang".

   This is Crystal Palace's first away game this season and Chen Ran's first away game in his coaching career.

   Speaking of Wimbledon, he also has a lot of ties with Crystal Palace.

   For many century-old clubs in the UK, outdated facilities are a common problem.

  When the FA promulgated the rule that the stadium must be fully seated, the original home of Wimbledon could not be renovated to meet the requirements of the FA.

  So, Wimbledon came to share Selhurst Park with Crystal Palace, which was used for twelve years, until they moved out three years ago.

  And London's real estate prices have been high, and if you want to build a new stadium, where can a small club like Wimbledon afford it?

   So, the Wimbledon boss decided to move the team to Milton Keynes, a satellite city north of London.

   This one annoyed Wimbledon fans.

   Leaving the team in the Wimbledon area, can it still be considered a Wimbledon team?

   So, Wimbledon fans re-formed a brand new AFC Wimbledon.

   And the Wimbledon team that moved to Milton Keynes was completely abandoned by the fans.

   However, all of this, for Chen Ran, was the best news.

   You must know that at Wimbledon back then, it was nicknamed the "Crazy Gang", a team that dared to go head-to-head with any strong team.

   has a tough style and a fierce style of play.

   As the saying goes, only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.

   Even those giant teams have a headache when they encounter Wimbledon.

   However, since Wimbledon moved and lost the support of the fans, that spirit seems to have dissipated.

   Coupled with the financial crisis, Wimbledon has dropped from the Premier League to the British Championship all the way, and the downward trend is still in sight.

   Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

   For Chen Ran, who is playing away for the first time, this is the best opponent.
