Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 110 The Pit Has Been Digged
"Louis, did you just say you didn't hear anything?"

Chen Ran immediately asked a question.

"Yes, there is no news about our Crystal Palace, which is why I feel abnormal."

"As you've led us to wins with Crystal Palace, there's been news going around that one team is interested in one of our players, another club is interested in another of our players and so on."

"But lately, all that news has disappeared. Even though we've won seven straight victories and topped the Premier League table, nothing like that has come out. It's as if our Crystal Palace players have become unattractive overnight. , which is very abnormal."

"I have a feeling that everyone is guarding against me. I am now like a blind and deaf person in the agent circle, which has never happened before."

The little fat man who was always smiling now had a serious expression on his face.

"Well, you're right, there's something wrong with that."

Chen Ran nodded slightly. In the busiest European transfer market in the world, it is normal for news of true and false to fly all over the sky.

Now the little fat man can't hear any news about the Crystal Palace, that can only explain one thing.

That is, someone, or some forces, are planning a conspiracy against the Crystal Palace, and are consciously preventing the news from leaking, especially against people from the Crystal Palace Club like Fatty.

As for the conspiracy, Chen Ran could think of it with his ass. It was nothing more than Crystal Palace's excellent record, and the players in the team were targeted by some rich and powerful teams.

Which club will it be?
Is it Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea?
After Chen Ran thought about it, it was nothing more than these few strong teams. Other clubs in the UK did not have this strength.

As for the giant clubs in other countries, it will be almost the same after Crystal Palace wins the Premier League championship this season. The current Crystal Palace is not so attractive.

"Louis, can you be sure which club is behind the scenes?"

"It's not clear yet, the agent circle in the UK now treats me like a thief."

"That's it"

Chen Ran's news about the transfer was all collected from the little fat man.

Now that this road is blocked by people, Chen Ran immediately becomes deaf and blind.

"Well, Luis, help me contact Mendez and see if there is any news from him."

"Mendez?"

Upon hearing the name, the little fat man's voice immediately raised an octave.

"Yeah, we can't get any news now, it's too passive. Because of Mourinho's relationship, Mendes has become a guest of Chelsea, so he might know something."

"Do you have to find him?"

Although he knew that what Chen Ran said was reasonable, the little fat man was still a little reluctant to go to Mendes.

"Besides, do you have any better solution?"

Chen Ran spread his hands and looked at the little fat man helplessly.

"understood."

Louis pouted, but agreed.

If he went back and begged his father just to find out the news, wouldn't that just show his incompetence?

After weighing the pros and cons, the little fat man finally decided to call Mendes and forget about it.

When Mendes received the call from Luis, he was also very surprised.

This was the first time that Fatty called him since Mendes and Luis had a falling out.

"Louis, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I will help if I can."

Mendes thought very clearly that if the brokerage business wanted to grow, it would inevitably have to compete with other bigwigs.

However, competition is competition, and it would be best if you can not tear yourself apart.

This time Luis took the initiative to call, and Mendes felt that this was an opportunity to ease the relationship between the two.

After all, he was still thinking about the cooperation with Chen Ran.

With Crystal Palace's record becoming more and more prominent, this idea has taken root in Mendes' mind.

"Then I'll be straight. It seems that someone wants to attack the Crystal Palace recently, and blocked the news from me. I want to ask, have you heard any rumors from there, and who is behind the scenes?"

"Oh, that's it. I heard some news before. It seems that Ferguson of Manchester United is more interested in some of your Crystal Palace players."

"Manchester United? Okay, I see. Any other clubs?"

"At least for now, I only know about Manchester United. If I hear any news in the future, I will tell you."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Hanging up the phone of the little fat man, Mendes was moved in his heart.

Is there really only one Manchester United interested in a Crystal Palace player?

No, I haven't heard any news about any club interested in Crystal Palace players for a while.

Even the news about Manchester United that I heard before was never mentioned again.

It stands to reason that with Crystal Palace's current record so good, there should be more and more clubs interested in their players.

Now there is none, which is very abnormal.

Without the phone call from the little fat man, Mendes would not have realized the strangeness of this matter.

After all, Crystal Palace now has no other business dealings except that Ronaldo is his player.

However, Mendez now has a strong interest in this matter.

If we can find out who is behind this matter, and then send the news to Chen Ran, it may pave the way for continued cooperation between him and Chen Ran.

You must know that he still owes Chen Ran a meal, because of Mourinho's refusal, Mendes is too embarrassed to meet Chen Ran who is also in London.

This matter can just be used as an opportunity.

Crystal Palace Club, the fat man who got the news from Mendes immediately reported it to Chen Ran.

"Manchester United?"

Hearing this name, Chen Ran was both surprised and not surprised.

Not surprisingly, Manchester United will make a move.

Surprisingly, only Manchester United shot.

"Is it only the Manchester United family who do it?"

Chen Ran asked worriedly.

"At least that's what Mendes said." The fat man shrugged.

"You can't just listen to Mendes' side of the story."

Chen Ran knocked on the table, called the little fat man to the desk, and whispered.

"Louis, you find someone reliable, pretend to be a tabloid reporter, and go find a private eye."

"Use the excuse of collecting explosive transfer news to let them track down the main players of our Crystal Palace."

"As long as there is evidence of their contact with other clubs, we will give high bonuses."

"."

Louis was dumbfounded, what is Chen Ran doing?
"Chen, is it necessary to find a private detective? Do you want to follow our own players?"

"Of course it is necessary. This is to prepare for the worst possible future, understand?"

"Worst case? Chen, what do you mean?"

"We must know that those who can attack us are either wealthy or upstarts. Can you guarantee that no one of our players will be tempted?"

"Well, there is really no guarantee."

The little fat man scratched his fat head, who can guarantee such a thing.

"So. If someone really wants to leave, even if the contract hasn't expired, can you keep them and keep your heart?"

"Even if people are forced to stay, if someone who doesn't care about us stays in the team, it will seriously damage the atmosphere of the team, which will be even worse."

"At this time, these photographed evidence of private contact with players will be of great use."

Having said that, Chen Ran stopped, and smiled, took a sip of the cold coffee on the table, it was really delicious.

"Oh! Chen, what do you mean, we can use this evidence to sue those clubs at UEFA?"

At this time, the little fat man suddenly realized that Chen Ran's ultimate move was here.

"That's right. You must know that the transfer rules clearly stipulate that clubs are not allowed to contact players in private."

"Ahem, but, Chen, this kind of thing is very common. Everyone does it, and we also do it ourselves."

"This kind of thing can only be done under the table and cannot be seen in the light. As long as we have the evidence, we have the initiative."

"If there are clubs who want to buy our players, and the players themselves want to go. Yes, pay. If we don't come up with a price that satisfies us, then we will submit the evidence to UEFA."

"At that time, UEFA will at least ban them from introducing players during the transfer period. It is up to them to measure which one loses the most."

"So that's it. Chen, your move is really powerful."

The little fat man looked at Chen Ran with adoring eyes, and the pen was short of refills.

"Hmph, if you want to poach the corner of our Crystal Palace, you must be prepared to bleed."

"However, this trick can only be used as our hole card, and we can use it as much as possible. After all, doing so will break the usual unspoken rules, and the negative effect is too great."

"It's like a nuclear weapon. I don't intend to use it, but I must have it. Understand?"

"Understood. Chen, what you mean is to use these evidences as our nuclear weapons, which are specially used to kill people."

"Smart, that's what I meant."

London, Arsenal FC.

Wenger is listening to his assistant coach Pat Rice report the latest transfer intelligence.

"You mean, Ferguson and Mourinho are eyeing Crystal Palace players?"

"That's right, boss, that's what I got from the circle."

"Hehe, it seems that the little guy from Huaguo is in big trouble this time."

Thinking of Chen Ran, whom he had dealt with several times, Wenger also gloated a little. Who made Chen Ran reject his signing proposal?

You didn't want to discuss it with you at the beginning, but now you deserve it if you are being blackmailed behind your back.

It would be a lie to say that Wenger was not angry when Chen Ran rejected him, but Wenger's status is different now.

As one of the top figures in English football, he was too lazy to argue with a little guy like Chen Ran.

However, now that someone wants to teach Chen Ran a lesson, Wenger is also willing to watch the fun.

"Boss, don't we take the opportunity to make a move? Some players in Crystal Palace are still very good." Pat Rice couldn't help but also made a suggestion.

"Pat, that little guy from Huaguo is not a good stubble. Look, even if Manchester United and Chelsea can buy someone from Crystal Palace in the end, they will definitely be severely slaughtered by that little guy."

"I tested that little guy's attitude before, but he treats those players like treasures. Do you know how much he asked for that Ronaldo?"

"How much?" Pat Rice asked curiously.

"One hundred million euros."

"OMG!"

"Boss, are you telling the truth?"

"It's true."

"That Chinese man must be crazy."

"He was very calm at the time. He also said that [-] million euros was only the current price. That Ronaldo will become the World Footballer in the future, and his offer will become [-] million euros."

"Well, let's not get involved in this matter. I feel that the Chinese man is a lunatic, maybe he will do something crazy. Anyway, we Arsenal don't have much money to buy people to build a new stadium."

"Really? Pat, you feel the same way? Then we really want to go together."

Wenger glanced at his assistant coach with relief, and it turned out that he was one of his own, even with the same ideas.

What the fans see is always the performance of each team on the court.

However, the turbulent waves and swords and swords off the court are even more intense and cruel.

After handing things over to Louis, Chen Ran put his energy back on the team.

On the sidelines of the Crystal Palace training ground, watching the players sweating profusely on the court, Chen Ran still couldn't help but guess who would leave the team in the end.

Frankly speaking, Chen Ran has been mentally prepared for this since the first day he took over the Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace is like a school and the players are like a group of students.

Every year new students join and old students leave.

Once this cycle starts, it will not stop unless this school is closed.

Looking at the players that Chen Ran personally selected on the field, he was a little bit reluctant to leave which one.

However, this is professional football. Like Maldini, it is becoming increasingly rare for a player to only play for one team.

What's more, since Crystal Palace was just an unknown Championship team, Chen Ran's options were extremely limited.

Therefore, some players in the current Crystal Palace team were only Chen Ran's second or even third choice at the time.

Now that there are big players who are eyeing these players of their own, it just so happens that they can sell on rallies.

As a reborn person, Chen Ran naturally knew that the upper limit of some players in the future was not high.

At this time, if the opponent can be ruthlessly slaughtered, then with this money, better players can be introduced.

After all, the current attractiveness of the Crystal Palace is no longer comparable to that of the previously unknown Crystal Palace.

I believe that after the end of this season, the name Crystal Palace will definitely resound throughout European football.
