Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

  Chapter 81 The Birth of Rumors

   Time passed slowly as Chen Ran kept looking at his watch.

  After 20 minutes of the game, Arsenal's offensive finally slowed down, and their players also took a sigh of relief.

  Chen Ran put down the stone that had been hanging in his heart temporarily, picked up a bottle of mineral water by the side of the court and moistened his throat.

   He kept loudly reminding the players on the field just now, and now his throat is almost smoking.

   After drinking the water, Chen Ran turned his head and glanced at Wenger in the distance. The professor was still as handsome. From the beginning to the present, he didn't say a word, just watched silently on the sidelines.

   If Wenger put a goose feather fan in his hand, he could play the French version of Zhuge Liang.

   After getting through the most difficult opening, the Crystal Palace players also gradually adapted to Arsenal's attacking rhythm.

   With the free agent Southgate specially arranged by Chen Ran to fill in the leaks everywhere, the players on the defensive line are no longer as embarrassed as they were at the beginning. With mutual cooperation and defense, they slowly gained a firm foothold.

It's getting harder and harder for Henry and Bergkamp to do whatever they want in Crystal Palace's box.

  Although Arsenal still had the absolute advantage on the field, they never broke the Crystal Palace goal, and the game entered a stalemate.

   And this is exactly what Chen Ran wants to see.

  In the stands, there were a lot of media reporters coming today.

  Because it was the final of the League Cup, some senior reporters who would not normally appear came to the Millennium Stadium to watch the game today.

   "Arsenal's strength is indeed so strong that Crystal Palace can't breathe."

   "Yeah, so far, Crystal Palace has not even had a decent counterattack, which is extremely rare in Crystal Palace's previous games."

   "I don't know if you have noticed an interesting thing. Arsenal and Crystal Palace are the only two teams that have remained unbeaten in the league so far this season."

   "It's true. One is unbeaten in the Premier League, and the other is unbeaten in the Championship."

   "Is this comparable? What is the level of the Championship? Can it be compared to the Premier League?"

   "You can't say that. It's not easy to remain unbeaten in the Championship. Few teams can do it."

   "That's because Crystal Palace didn't meet a real strong team. It's just a Championship team, how strong can it be?"

   "Hehe, is Crystal Palace really strong or can they only show their power in the Championship? Isn't today's match the best test?"

   "That's right. Arsenal are arguably one of the strongest teams in England right now, and this touchstone is enough."

   "Then let's see if the Crystal Palace under the control of this Chinese person can pass the test today."

  After the hard work of the players, the two sides ended the first half with a score of 0:0, as Chen Ran wished.

  Chen Ran moved his body a bit, standing on the sidelines for so long that he was a little stiff.

   Glancing at Arsenal's bench, Chen Ran found that the Arsenal's bench players were chatting in twos and threes while getting up and going back to the locker room. Their expressions were very relaxed, and they didn't seem to be dissatisfied with the score on the field.

   Back in the locker room, Chen Ran looked at the sweaty team members and was very pleased.

   "Guys, you did a great job. You were in the first half and the best team in England right now can't do anything about you."

   "I know you are tired now. But you have to know that those guys at Arsenal are more tired than you. Because they play a lot more games than us."

   "Although Arsenal's strength is very strong, their players are much older than you. When you feel like you can't run, they must be more unable to run than you."

   "So, in the second half of the game, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. Use more active running and more energy to drag down Arsenal."

   "As long as you do this, the League Cup is ours."

   "Here I announce that as long as we win the League Cup, I will personally reward everyone with another 1 million euros."

"Oh!"

   "Long live the boss!"

   "Boss I love you!"

   "Destroy Arsenal!"

   "The champion is ours!"

   Chicken blood plus bonuses immediately made the Crystal Palace locker room boiling.

  The dressing room of the Millennium Stadium is not very soundproof, and the cheers of the Crystal Palace players can easily be transmitted outside.

   This caused a reporter who happened to pass by with a sneering smile. Are you celebrating before winning the championship?

   As expected of that Chinese team, a group of country bumpkins who have never seen the market.

   The reporter who returned to the stands immediately shared the incident with his friends.

   One pass ten, ten pass one hundred.

   Soon, the news that Crystal Palace celebrated their championship early at half-time spread throughout the entire press circle.

   There are even vivid descriptions that the Crystal Palace team also opened a bottle of champagne in the dressing room, as if he was there.

   "It's outrageous. Crystal Palace is not leading, it's just 0:0, so you think you will win the championship?"

   "That's right. It's clearly not looking at Arsenal."

   "Humph, if Arsenal wins the championship in the end, then there will be a good show to watch."

   "That's right. This content, we can play it well after the game, I believe readers will love it."

   At this time, Chen Ran was completely unaware that he was being targeted by reporters again.

   All his thoughts are now on the game.

   At the beginning of the second half, the situation of the first half continued, and Arsenal pressed Crystal Palace to play.

   However, the current Crystal Palace players felt a little more comfortable after adapting in the first half.

  50 minutes, 55 minutes, 60 minutes, 65 minutes, the score did not change, it was still 0:0.

   But the intensity of Arsenal's attack has already shown a slump to the naked eye.

   "What's the matter? Something seems wrong?"

   At this time, even the reporters in the stands discovered the problem.

   "It feels like there is something wrong with the fitness of the Arsenal players, and the running distance is much less."

   "Yes, that should be the problem. Arsenal are fighting on four fronts after all, and the players are already very tired now."

   "Then what to do? Did Crystal Palace really take away the League Cup?"

   "What's the panic? Wenger is there. We can all see the problem, can't he see it?"

   "That's right. Don't worry, Arsenal's bench is deep enough to replace players who are not physically fit."

   As the reporters expected, Wenger did find the physical decline of Arsenal players.

   He immediately turned around and greeted the players on the bench to get up and warm up, ready to make substitutions.

   However, just as he turned around, out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed that there was movement on the Crystal Palace bench not far away.

   It seems that the little guy from China is about to play his cards.
