Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 135 I Didn't Expect So Many People Would Give Me Money!
To Stephen's surprise, there has been no reply from Dream Company, and he has received inquiries from other companies.

"Chen, another company has asked us about sponsorship."

Stephen came to Chen Ran's office again with the latest information.

"Oh? Really? Stephen, now you believe that the plan I proposed before is not nonsense. Time is on our side, and there will only be more and more people who will come to give us money in the future."

"Tell me, where is the benefactor this time?"

Seeing that so many people were willing to give him money, Chen Ran was in a good mood, and his unhappiness about not winning against Manchester United disappeared immediately.

"This time there are two companies, one is Emirates, and the other is Austrian gambling company BWIN."

It's these two families, Chen Ran immediately knew the names when he heard the names.

In the previous life, both Emirates and BWIN were sponsors of wealthy clubs all the year round.

It seems that now the Crystal Palace is also qualified to enter their field of vision. Is this a step into the threshold of a wealthy club?

Thinking of this, Chen Ran's heart suddenly blossomed.

"Stephen, do these two companies have offers?"

"Yes. Emirates' offer is 700 million euros per year, with a contract period of four years. BWIN's price is even higher, reaching 1000 million euros per year, with a contract period of three years."

"So, Stephen, send a copy of the plan I designed to Emirates and BWIN, and see how they respond."

"Oh, that's right. Remember to change the guarantee amount to 700 million euros and 1000 million euros respectively, so don't confuse them."

"understood."

Stephen smiled wryly. It seemed that Chen Ran was determined to carry out his plan to the end.

"Stephen, you wait a moment."

Just when Stephen was about to go back to answer the two companies, he was suddenly called back by Chen Ran.

Nothing else, because Chen Ran remembered one more thing.

In the previous life, the new stadium opened by Arsenal two years later seemed to be named after Emirates.

At that time, it was bundled with Arsenal's jersey chest advertisement and signed a big contract, which really caused quite a stir.

According to the calculation of time, maybe Emirates Airlines has already begun to contact the Arsenal club.

It's just because of the sudden emergence of Crystal Palace this season that the opponent is still a little hesitant for a while.

After all, Crystal Palace and Arsenal are both in London, and Emirates would only sponsor one of them, even if they wanted to.

If Crystal Palace can win the sponsorship of Emirates, then Arsenal will have to find another sponsor.

It is hard to find a sponsor who has the strength to sponsor jersey advertisements and name the new stadium at the same time.

In this way, without the support of the Middle East patrons, Arsenal will be even more burdened by the new stadium.

The speed of their decline will also be faster than in the previous life.

Whether or not the title of "Four Mad Demons" can be kept is probably a big question mark.

Killing a competitor from the side is worth the deal.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran immediately made up his mind.

"Stephen, when you contact Emirates, by the way, ask them if they are interested in naming our new stadium."

"New stadium? Chen, our new stadium is just a blueprint. Would Emirates be willing to name it?"

Stephen just felt that he couldn't keep up with Chen Ran's unconstrained thinking.

"Ask what are you afraid of? The big deal is that you don't agree. When you introduce the new stadium to them, focus on introducing the scale of 6 people and the ambition of our Crystal Palace."

"You tell those UAE people that our Crystal Palace is going to become the overlord team of the Premier League. Sponsoring our Crystal Palace can help them quickly increase their popularity around the world."

"One more thing, you can emphasize to them our identity as a Chinese. Just say that sponsoring our Crystal Palace will help them expand their business in China."

Seeing Chen Ran talking there, Stephen was dumbfounded.

He now understands that Chen Ran is eyeing the fat sheep of Emirates Airlines, and is going to fool him to death.

After sending Stephen away, Chen Ran put his mind back on the team.

Don't be in a hurry about sponsorship, whoever is in a hurry will be at a disadvantage.

At that time, it will be very difficult to negotiate, so now Chen Ran is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, waiting to see whose fish will take the bait first.

What Chen Ran is about to face right now is the famous Premier League Christmas Devil schedule.

On December 12, in the No.26 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Portsmouth at home.

On December 12, in the No.28 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Tottenham Hotspur.

On January 1, in the No.1 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Fulham.

On January 1, in the No.3 second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Aston Villa at home.

These four games are a test for all teams.

Whoever is not strong enough and whose bench is not deep enough may fall behind in these four rounds.

Therefore, Chen Ran had to concentrate all his energy on preparing for the battle.

Crystal Palace's No.19 opponent, Portsmouth, has indeed introduced a lot of players this summer.

They bought striker Lualua from Newcastle United, defender Griffin, defender Unsworth from Everton, goalkeeper Gautrie from Parma, striker Kamara from Modena, Bought goalkeeper Aston from Reading.

And Birmingham defender Cisse, and Montpellier midfielder Mezague.

Under the leadership of coach Redknapp, Portsmouth has a good record this season and is currently ranked No.12 in the Premier League.

Because this was the first game of the Christmas Devil's schedule, Chen Ran directly dispatched the entire main lineup.

While striving for a good start, also shut up those who question him and Crystal Palace.

Damn, isn't it just a tie, and some people say that Crystal Palace is going to go downhill.Chen Ran is very small-minded, he can't swallow this breath.

Although Simeone was injured and unable to play in the last round, Chen Ran also received good news that Southgate finally returned from injury.

In this game, Chen Ran adopted Guardiola's tactics. From the first minute, Crystal Palace firmly suppressed the opponent within the half-court, striving to win the opponent in the shortest time.

Although Portsmouth's coach Redknapp has made sufficient preparations, he has a 541 defensive formation.But Portsmouth's strength is there, and it really can't stop the full attack of Crystal Palace.

In the 208th minute of the game, Ronaldo broke through the defense of Portsmouth defender Stefanovic and sent a beautiful cross.

Tony in the penalty area overwhelmed central defender Unsworth and scored a header past the Portsmouth goal guarded by Hislop.

"Goal"

With Toni's goal, Crystal Palace lead Portsmouth 1-0.

After breaking the deadlock, Crystal Palace's offense became more comfortable.

On the Portsmouth side, Redknapp, the veteran, is also determined enough.

Even if the team is behind, they will never press out to attack, and make up their minds to pretend to be grandson.

And Redknapp's strategy has indeed paid off.

Crystal Palace besieged the entire first half and only scored one goal.

After another 10 minutes in the second half, Chen Ran saw that Redknapp really planned to defend to the end.

For the sake of the next game, he also began to replace the main players of Crystal Palace to rest.

In this way, the two sides tacitly maintained the score of 1:0 until the end of the game.

While Crystal Palace won the game again, Chen Ran also received a winning bonus of 200 million euros.

而在本轮的其他比赛中，切尔西在主场1:0小胜阿斯顿维拉，阿森纳在主场2:0战胜富勒姆，曼联在老特拉福德2:0战胜博尔顿，而利物浦则在客场5:0大胜西布罗姆维奇。

Several strong teams all scored three points.

After the No.19 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace continued to top the standings with 55 consecutive victories and one tie with [-] points.

With 45 wins, three draws and two losses, Chelsea still ranks second with [-] points.

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

After just one day off, Crystal Palace will travel to Tottenham Hotspur.

Fortunately, the opponent is also in London, which saves a lot of trouble.

In this summer, Tottenham Hotspur have brought in many players.

They brought in midfielder Carrick from West Ham United, goalkeeper Robinson from Leeds United, defender Nebett from Deportivo, midfielder Mendes from Porto and Coventry City. Guard Davenport was introduced.

There are also Fulham's midfielder Sean Davies, Nice's defender Paramott, Cruzeiro's defender De Fendi, PSV's forward Ederson, Basel's midfielder Artur Ba et al.

Head coach Hoddle bought [-] players in one go, almost replacing half of the team's lineup.

With such a drastic change of blood, Tottenham Hotspur's performance is still good. It is now ranked seventh in the Premier League, only one point away from the European theater.

It seems that there is still something about this Hoddle. The situation of Tottenham Hotspur has attracted Chen Ran's great attention.

In addition, the Crystal Palace is playing away in this game. For this reason, Chen Ran formed a lineup for defensive counterattack.

On Tottenham Hotspur's side, Hoddle is right at all. He didn't shrink back just because Crystal Palace is now the top of the Premier League, and still adopted the usual 442 formation.

Forward Robbie Keane, Forward Jermain Defoe

Left Midfielder Lotledge, Central Midfielder Sean Davies, Central Midfielder Carrick, Right Midfielder Mendes

Left back Edman, center back Naibet, center back Ledley King, right back Parmalot

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Tottenham Hotspur's striker combination is different from most teams. Robbie Keane and Defoe are both short in height, but they are fast, able to rush, grab and drill.

As long as you are not careful, they may seize the opportunity to sneak attack you.

Chen Ran was also prepared for this.

In order to deal with these two guys, he deliberately took down the 34-year-old veteran Southgate and replaced him with the young and flexible Thiago Silva.

As for another central defender of Crystal Palace, Vidic, who is 191cm tall, Chen Ran is helpless.

Letting Vidic compete with the 175cm Robbie Keane and the 170cm Defoe in terms of speed and agility is self-inflicted humiliation.

However, who else can be used without Vidic?It is impossible to replace all the two main central defenders.

What's more, another substitute central defender Pepe is an extremely sharp double-edged sword.Chen Ran didn't dare to use it lightly unless it was a last resort.

Sure enough, Tottenham Hotspur was also well prepared.

From the first minute of the game, Robbie Keane and Defoe, like flies that cannot be driven away, circled around Vidic.

The midfielders Sean Davis and Carrick also continued to send the ball to Vidic's vicinity.

Awesome, it seems that Hoddle made a targeted arrangement.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ran on the sidelines couldn't help but glance at the Tottenham Hotspur bench in the distance.

I saw that Hoddle crossed his arms and looked very proud, obviously very satisfied with the situation on the field.

No, something will happen sooner or later.

Seeing Vidic struggling, Chen Ran immediately made a decision.

"Havel!"

Chen Ran called out Mascherano's name loudly on the sidelines, and took advantage of the dead ball to call him to his side.

"Boss, what instructions do you have?"

"Remember the free man I used to let you play in the backcourt against Manchester United?"

"Remember. Boss, are you asking me to play this position now?"

"That's right. Vidic is having a hard time defending against those two little Tottenham forwards, you go and help him."

"No problem, boss."

After hearing Chen Ran's order, Mascherano immediately turned around and ran back to the field.

Mascherano is only 174cm tall, and his flexibility is not inferior to Robbie Keane and Defoe.

And with his defensive talent, as soon as he joined the back line, he immediately helped Vidic solve the big trouble.

No matter how Robbie Keane and Defoe circled around, they just couldn't get rid of Mascherano.

With the cooperation of Thiago Silva, the two quickly tackled the ball passed by Carrick and Sean Davies several times in succession.

Robbie Keane and Defoe, who were playing well just now, couldn't receive the pass, and the threat immediately dropped greatly.

Seeing this scene, Hoddle snorted angrily and waved his hand.

"Go up and attack!"
