Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 134 Not worthy of our Crystal Palace
On the other side, Ferguson was overjoyed when he saw Simeone was injured and immediately called Keane to the sidelines.

"Roy, you stay behind. If Crystal Palace wants to fight back, you destroy it immediately, and you don't hesitate to foul. Then you tell the others, except for Sylvester and Ferdinand, all go up and attack."

"Understood, boss."

Ferguson is also desperate now, taking advantage of the opportunity of one less player in Crystal Palace, he must bring the score back or even overtake.

After receiving Ferguson's order, Manchester United immediately overwhelmed the midfield across the board.

Keane cruised around the center line, Sylvester and Ferdinand also overwhelmed near the center circle arc.Even the goalkeeper Carroll is now standing outside the penalty area line.

"Damn it, this old guy really knows how to take advantage of the fire."

Seeing Ferguson's adjustment, Chen Ran cursed inwardly.

"Luka! Hurry up and go back to the defense to help the defenders fight for the header."

Seeing that it would be useless for Tony to stay in the front, Chen Ran simply shouted for him to go back to defend from the sidelines.

"Got it, boss!"

Hearing Chen Ran's order, Tony hurriedly ran towards the restricted area of ​​the Crystal Palace with his long legs.

At this time, Manchester United had already taken full advantage of their numerical advantage to fully attack the offense, passing the ball one after another and being sent into the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace.

When the ball flew towards Ruud Van Nistelrooy again, Tony hadn't rushed back yet, and Vidic was blocked behind by Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The height of the ball was a bit low, and Van Nistelrooy raised his chest and unloaded the ball.Then before the ball landed, it was followed by a half-turned volley.

At this time, Vidic was too slow to block Ruud's shot, and the ball flew past him.

And Petr Cech, whose line of sight was strictly blocked by the two big men, Van Nistelrooy and Vidic, had no time to react at this time.He could only subconsciously reach out to block, but he couldn't change the direction of the ball's flight.

In this way, with Van Nistelrooy's goal, Manchester United equalized the score 1:1.

"Fxxxk!"

Chen Ran, who had witnessed all this, cursed angrily.

Immediately, he realized immediately that the game was not over yet, and now was not the time to vent his emotions.

"Nemania! It's okay, focus and keep defending!"

Chen Ran was on the sidelines, shouting Vidic's name and cheering him on.

After Simeone was injured, Vidic is now the captain of Crystal Palace.

"Got it, boss."

Hearing Chen Ran's shout, Vidic immediately pulled himself together.

He knew what Chen Ran meant. He was not only the captain of the team, but also the central defender of the team.If he messes up, the game is over.

Fortunately, the players of the Crystal Palace are still full of energy and combat effectiveness.

Even if there is one less player on the field now, under the united will, Crystal Palace did not allow Manchester United to continue to score in less than 10 minutes of the game.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Crystal Palace was tied 1-1 by Manchester United at Old Trafford.

At the same time that the winning streak of the Premier League ended at [-] games, Chen Ran didn't hear the system's pleasant winning bonus notification sound.

However, fortunately, Crystal Palace did not lose this game against Manchester United.

Although this result is not good, it is not bad.

From before the match to during the match, so many things happened, Chen Ran was already mentally prepared.

Moreover, he knew that the game on the field was over.But waiting for him, there is a more stressful game.

As expected, when Chen Ran appeared at the press conference, he was once again surrounded by reporters. These guys were all excited as if they had found money.

It seems that the end of Crystal Palace's winning streak is a great joy.

"Mr. Chen, Crystal Palace's winning streak has been terminated at [-] games. What do you think about this?"

A reporter who managed to grab the opportunity to ask questions asked with a red face.

"I'm very happy."

Chen Ran glanced at the reporter, then said a few words calmly.

"Happy? Mr. Chen, if I heard you right, did you mean 'happy'?"

Not just the reporter who asked the question, everyone in the press conference had question marks.

"Yes, the reporter's hearing is very good, and I said 'happy'."

"Uh, can you tell me why it is 'happy'?"

"It's very simple. Because setting a record is not an easy thing, my players and I have been under tremendous pressure. Now that the record is over, our pressure is gone. Isn't this something that makes people happy thing?"

Chen Ran spread his hands, as if talking about a trivial matter.

"."

If possible, the reporters present probably wanted to spit on Chen Ran's face.

"Mr. Chen, what is your comment on the transfer rumors of Crouch from Crystal Palace?"

A reporter didn't bother Chen Ran, and a new reporter came forward immediately.

"You also said that this is just a rumor, and it is not convenient for me to comment on things that are not conclusive."

"Is the matter about Crouch's transfer true? Mr. Chen."

"If it happened, it's true. If it didn't happen, it's false."

"."

The reporters in the audience looked at each other, isn't this bullshit?Saying is the same as not saying.

"But there is news that both Manchester United and Chelsea are approaching Crouch."

"Then you have to ask Sir Alex Ferguson and Mr. Mourinho."

"Can you comment on the performance of the two teams in this game? Mr. Chen."

Seeing that Chen Ran was slippery, another reporter asked a new question.

"Manchester United are a very strong team and you can't show anything against them."

"Unfortunately, we were not very lucky today. When Simeone was injured, we had no substitutions and had to play more with less."

"So Manchester United caught the loophole and the draw was a fair result."

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean to say that Crystal Palace did not win this game because of bad luck?"

Immediately, a reporter caught Chen Ran's speech impediment and asked with ulterior motives.

"That's definitely not the case. Do you think that without enough strength, any team can easily break through the goal of Crystal Palace?"

Directing the game is tiring, and it is not easy to verbally fight those reporters.

Those who play with pens are the best at digging holes. After dealing with all these verbal attacks, Chen Ran returned home, so tired that he didn't want to move.She didn't even care about Cheryl beside her, and just fell asleep.

在本轮的其他比赛中，阿森纳客场1：0小胜朴次茅斯，切尔西则在主场4：0大胜诺维奇，利物浦也在主场3：1战胜纽卡斯尔联队。

These three strong teams all scored three points. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Crystal Palace being tied by Manchester United, they took the opportunity to narrow the points gap.

After the No.18 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace continued to top the standings with a record of 52 consecutive victories and one tie with [-] points.

With 42 wins, three draws and two losses, Chelsea still ranks second with [-] points.

Arsenal ranked third with 37 wins, four draws and two losses with [-] points.

The next day, Chen Ran and Crystal Palace once again occupied an important position on the pages of major media in England.

"In a strong dialogue in the No.18 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace was successfully stopped by Manchester United from moving forward."

"Crystal Palace stopped creating records, and the longest winning streak in the Premier League ended at [-] games."

"In the two contests against Manchester United this season, Crystal Palace had one draw and one loss without a win. The Chinese man was completely restrained by Sir Alex Ferguson."

"Compared to Sir Alex Ferguson, that Chinese man is still too immature."

"Crystal Palace's winning streak is ended, will it be an important turning point for this season?"

"Questionnaire: Do you think Crystal Palace will go downhill from this game?"

Thousands of miles away in Huaguo, fans of Crystal Palace also gathered in the post bar to discuss the game.

"It's a pity, if it wasn't for Simeone's injury later, so that Crystal Palace could only play more with less, and Manchester United would have no chance to equalize the score."

"That's right, Chen Ran used up the replacement quota too early, which made him so passive later on."

"You are a new fan at first glance. Brother, you haven't been watching football for a long time, have you?"

"Yeah. I only started watching football in the past two years, what's wrong?"

"You probably don't know the captain of Manchester United, Keane, do you? You can search for his deeds online. Chen Ran's substitution is very particular. The substitution of Ronaldo is to protect him."

"I'll go, I found out, this Keane is really a ruthless person. So that's the case, no wonder Chen Ran wants to replace Ronaldo, I really blamed him."

"That's right. Everyone has seen Ronaldo's performance this season. He is definitely a future superstar. Compared with winning a game, the health of the players is more important. Anyway, Crystal Palace now has a big lead."

"I guess Chen Ran thought so too. It's just that he didn't expect Simeone to be injured later, so it's just bad luck."

After a good night's sleep, Chen Ran has already forgotten about yesterday's game.After paying the rations to Cheryl in the morning, I came to the club refreshed.

“Stephen, what’s the matter with you so early?”

Seeing Stephen waiting for him at the door of the office, Chen Ran asked curiously.

"Did you forget what I told you about the jersey ad?"

"I didn't forget, didn't I mention a new plan. Why, there is a reply so soon?"

"That's right. Dream Company is very interested in your proposal, and specially sent a senior executive of the company to London, wanting to chat with us about the specific content of the new plan."

"Chen, how do you envision it? Before negotiating with Dream Company, we must first finalize the plan."

"Well, you are right. My initial idea is that the guaranteed sponsorship of 500 million euros remains unchanged. That is, if the Crystal Palace has not won any championships, we must also give us 500 million euros."

"If Crystal Palace wins the Premier League, it will increase by 500 million euros. If it wins the UEFA Cup, it will increase by another 500 million euros. If it wins the European Champions Cup, it will increase by 1000 million euros."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that there are the FA Cup and the League Cup. No matter how small a fly is, it is meat. The FA Cup winner is worth 200 million euros, and the League Cup winner is worth 100 million euros."

"Gudu."

Stephen swallowed, Chen Ran's plan really surprised him.

This is no longer simply a lion's mouth can be described.

"Chen, did you drink too much last night?"

Stephen thought of the Crystal Palace's draw with Manchester United yesterday, did this Chen Ran still wake up after drinking to relieve boredom?
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't drink at all yesterday."

Chen Ran gave Stephen an angry look, this guy thought he was talking drunk.

"Then how did you come up with such a condition?"

"If you follow your plan, Crystal Palace can get up to 300 million euros for a year's jersey advertisement. Do you know what this means? Manchester United is only 750 million euros now!"

Stephen became more and more excited as he spoke, and almost yelled out.

In his thinking, Manchester United's revenue level is undoubtedly the highest among all Premier League teams.

If Chen Ran's plan is followed, then Crystal Palace's income from jersey advertising alone will far exceed Manchester United, which is simply unimaginable.

"Calm down! Stephen, calm down!"

Seeing Stephen's excited look, Chen Ran quickly poured him a glass of water to let him relax.

This guy, the influence he has received since he was a child is too deep-rooted, and he always feels that these wealthy families are superior and insurmountable.

"Chen, do you think that dream company will agree to your proposal?"

"It's all real money. More than 2000 million euros is a huge sum of money no matter where it is. These businessmen, they will not agree to these conditions just because you are also from China."

Stephen took a few sips of water and calmed down a little.

"Whether it will be successful or not will be discussed later. Anyway, I am not in a hurry. If I wait until next summer, after Crystal Palace wins the Premier League title, I believe more businesses will come to our door."

"My plan actually doesn't hurt the other party. Only when Crystal Palace wins the championship will they need to pay."

"Stephen, time is on our side. Even if the dream company does not agree, other companies will agree, and I am very confident in that."

"Okay, just figure it out for yourself."

Stephen was finally persuaded by Chen Ran. Anyway, he thought it was impossible for Dream Company to agree to such an exaggerated condition.

However, what surprised Stephen was that after he offered the plan designed by Chen Ran to the executives of Dream Company, the other party did not directly reject it.

It just said that he has no power to decide this matter and needs to report to the chairman.

"Chen, it seems that you are right. This dream company may really accept your proposal."

Stephen sighed in disbelief again and again.

"Haha, Stephen, if Dream Company really accepts my plan, you remember to add a clause during the negotiation that the contract period cannot exceed four years at most."

"Chen, with such a good condition, shouldn't the contract be as long as possible?"

"Stephen, in my opinion, this proposal will soon be unworthy of our Crystal Palace."
