Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 136 I don't really want the 2000 million euros

I'll go, are you so fierce?

This Hoddle, regardless of whether Tottenham Hotspur is strong enough, just let the team press it out.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Ran was also a little dumbfounded.

This guy really has a lot of personality, the information is right, he doesn't play cards according to common sense, and often does amazing things.

However, if Tottenham Hotspur pressed forward to attack, wouldn't Crystal Palace have more chances to counterattack?

Coupled with the fact that Chen Ran transferred Mascherano back to help defend, his confidence in Crystal Palace's defense has greatly increased.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran glanced at Hodel in the distance again.

Now let's see if Tottenham Hotspur breaks through Crystal Palace's defense first, or Crystal Palace breaks through Tottenham Hotspur's goal first.

Soon, the trend of the game made Hoddle frown again.

Because he found that Tottenham Hotspur's attack was useless.

Robbie Keane and Defoe, the two small men, couldn't grab the high ball.

The ground ball was entangled again by Mascherano and Thiago Silva.

Not to mention the next shot on goal.

Tottenham Hotspur's offense ended up with a lot of thunder and little rain.

Except for a few long-range shots, there was no threat to the goal guarded by Cech.

On the Crystal Palace side, seeing that Tottenham Hotspur could not break through their defense, Chen Ran was naturally not in a hurry.

Four games in nine days is a severe test for the physical fitness of the players, so Chen Ran must use the most economical way to get three points.

Now is not the best time to make a move.

Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the score on the field did not change, it was still 0:0.

During the intermission, Chen Ran still didn't make any adjustments, and he planned to consume a little more stamina of the Tottenham Hotspur players.

Until the No.60 minute of the game, Chen Ran called Cesc Fabregas on the bench.

"Cesc, later on you'll come on and replace Vidic and then let Tony be the captain."

"Javier Mascherano and Thiago Silva partnered as a central defender, you and Yaya Toure as a double midfielder, and Modric moved forward to play as a midfielder."

"Tell the others we're going to attack."

"Understood, boss."

In view of Mascherano's defense against Robbie Keane and Defoe is good, Chen Ran rarely replaced the main central defender Vidic this time.

As soon as the Crystal Palace made a substitution, Hoddle on the Tottenham Hotspur side immediately became more vigilant.

Now everyone knows that Chen Ran is good at attacking from the back. Although Hoddle has a personality, he is not stupid.

He immediately greeted the players on the sidelines to recover, ready to deal with the Crystal Palace's offensive.

It is a pity that although Hoddle is very vigilant, his players are lacking in strength.

The middle road is okay, with Carrick, Ledley King and other famous players in charge, they can still hold on to the situation.

But on the two wings, whether it is the two full-backs Mendes and Lothridge, or the two full-backs Edman and Parmalot, they can't stop Ronaldo and Ribery who are supported. rounds of impact.

When Franck Ribery got rid of Lotterridge's defense again and broke through with the ball, Tottenham Hotspur's left back Edman hurried up to intercept.

Ribéry didn't even look, tapped his heel, passed the ball to Maicon behind him, and continued to run forward.

At this moment, Edman was taken aback for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't decide whether to continue with Ribery or go up to grab Maicon.

It was another routine that Chen Ran had practiced repeatedly in training, and Maikong naturally understood it, and directly twisted the ball in an arc.

The ball went over Edman's head and came to Ribery again.

At this point, Ribery's speed has increased.

Facing the empty turf in front of him, he took the ball straight to Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area.

"Naibet, go and stop him!"

Goalkeeper Robinson hurriedly called his central defenders to intercept Ribery.

Without Robinson's call, Naibert has already realized that the situation is not good, and is rushing to defend with all his strength.

Ribery did not choose to pass from the bottom this time, but buckled in with his right foot, and a shot was made on the heel of his left foot.

"boom!"

It's a pity that the angle was a bit positive, and Robinson threw it out.

Due to the power of Ribery's shot, the ball bounced very far and flew directly outside the penalty area.

"boom!"

I saw a figure rushing to the ball's landing point quickly, and before the ball hit the ground, he went up and volleyed.

It's Modric, this guy, his technical movements are extremely standard, and his instep is stretched straight when he shoots.

The ball flew directly to the upper left corner of the Tottenham Hotspur goal like a fired shell.

At this time, Robinson, who had just made a save, got up from the ground.

Faced with this shot, there was nothing he could do.

"Goal"

"Little Luca, well done!"

Modric was immediately surrounded by swarming teammates.

Crystal Palace lead Tottenham Hotspur 1-0.

After taking the lead, Chen Ran did not withdraw his defense as usual, but continued to attack Tottenham Hotspur.

Continued pressure will not slow down Tottenham Hotspur.

Because their two strikers, Robbie Keane and Defoe, were too capable, in order not to leave them a chance, Chen Ran felt that it would be better to let the ball stay in Tottenham Hotspur's half.

No.705 minutes, Chen Ran replaced Ribery with Alves.

No.805 minutes, Chen Ran replaced Ronaldo with Evra.

With Chen Ran's careful response, Crystal Palace finally kept the score of 1:0 to the end.

While winning the game, it also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of 200 million euros.

在本轮的其他比赛中，切尔西客场2:0战胜朴茨茅斯，阿森纳客场1:0小胜纽卡斯尔联队，曼联在客场1:0战胜阿斯顿维拉，利物浦在安菲尔德1:0小胜南安普顿。

Several strong teams all scored three points again.

After the No.20 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace continued to top the standings with a record of 58 wins and [-] tie with [-] points.

With 48 wins, three draws and two losses, Chelsea still ranks second with [-] points.

Arsenal ranked third with 43 wins, four draws and two losses with [-] points.

After this round of competition, all teams were given a three-day respite.

The winter transfer period of the Premier League is about to open.

"Chen, regarding Crouch's transfer, both Manchester United and Chelsea have sent formal offers."

Louis, who was in charge of the club's transfer affairs, found Chen Ran and brought the latest news.

"what price?"

"Manchester United offer 700 million euros, Chelsea 1000 million euros."

"so little?"

Chen Ran frowned, which was far from his psychological expectation.

"Chen, in fact, Crouch's real worth is probably between 700 million euros and 1000 million euros. Isn't the price of 2000 million euros you offered to raise the price?"

Hearing that Chen Ran thought it was too little, the little fat man was taken aback. Could it be that he took the price of 2000 million euros seriously?

"Of course not. My psychological price is 2000 million euros. Didn't I say before that I won't sell anything less."

"Really? Chen, do you really need 2000 million euros to sell it?"

The little fat man was really startled.

"Louis, Crouch's transfer is not an ordinary transfer. If it is not handled properly, it may have a very bad impact on the other players who are currently in the team. Do you understand?"

Seeing that the little fat man didn't have enough understanding of the seriousness of this matter, Chen Ran had to break it apart for him to analyze.

"Chen, you mean to make Crouch a model. To warn those clubs who poach us that they have to pay a huge price before they can be taken away?"

"True. But that's only part of it."

"It's more important to give a reminder to the other players who are still in the team now."

"If you want to transfer, you can, but you must leave a transfer fee that satisfies me. If you can't do this, then stay with the team honestly."

"Chen, what if neither Manchester United nor Chelsea are willing to pay 2000 million euros? Will you still use Crouch?"

"Of course I will use it. I still have to pay him a salary. Is it worth raising him if I don't need it? I'm not so stingy. As a backup striker, Crouch is still qualified."

"Isn't Chelsea's 1000 million euros a pity?"

"What a pity? Louis, take a long-term view. This matter is not as simple as money."

"Understood. Chen, then I will reply to them. If there is no 2000 million euros, Crouch will not sell it."

"Well, just reply like this, be tough."

"understood."

After dismissing the little fat man, Chen Ran was also troubled for a while.

The reason why he insisted on not letting go of 2000 million euros is actually to test the true purpose of Manchester United and Chelsea.

Now he hopes that someone is willing to pay 2000 million euros to take Crouch away, so that he can be slaughtered, but he does not hope that someone is really willing to pay 2000 million euros to take Crouch away.

Because if someone is willing to spend 2000 million to buy Crouch who is obviously worthless.

Then there is only one thing that can be proved, that is, the opponent's goal is even bigger, and he no longer cares about the gains and losses of the 2000 million euros in front of him.

What else could there be?

It is nothing more than the main players that Crystal Palace is still in the team.

This trick reminded Chen Ran of many allusions from the Hua Kingdom.

For example: a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone
If Chen Ran's prediction really happened, then he must be extremely vigilant.

The winter transfer period is likely to be just a foretaste, and the real test is estimated to be next summer.

Manchester, Ferguson office.

"Alex, there is an answer from the Crystal Palace. The Chinese man insisted that the price of 2000 million euros will not be reduced, and said that if it is less than this amount, he will keep Crouch for himself."

As soon as David Gill got the latest news, he immediately ran to report to Ferguson.

"Hmph, that kid from Huaguo is probably crazy. 2000 million euros? Crouch? It's purely a dream!"

Hearing the news about David Gill, Ferguson laughed disdainfully.

"David, you tell the Crystal Palace club that 700 million euros is Manchester United's final offer, and if you don't accept it, the negotiations will be terminated."

"Alex, are you sure?"

"Okay, just reply like this. Manchester United is not an upstart like Chelsea, and they don't have that much money to waste."

London, Chelsea FC.

Mourinho was once again in the office of CEO Peter Kenyon.

"José, Crystal Palace has replied. It is 2000 million euros, there is no room for negotiation, if you don't accept it, the negotiation will be terminated."

"So tough?"

Mourinho was taken aback when he heard that, Crouch is not a great genius, what confidence does Crystal Palace have to insist that the price of 2000 million euros will not be reduced?

"That's how tough it is. The one who contacted me was one of the Hua people's cronies, Luis who was in charge of the Crystal Palace transfer."

"He made it very clear that if no one accepts the €2000m price then they will keep Crouch for themselves."

"I would rather lose the transfer fee of tens of millions of euros?" Mourinho asked in disbelief.

"That's right. That Louis said that the Crystal Palace is not short of the 1000 million euros." Peter Kenyon also laughed angrily when he thought of the little fat man's humble face.

"Arrogance?"

Mourinho touched his chin, "Peter, why do I feel that something is wrong with this?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Why do I feel that the Chinese man doesn't seem to want Crouch's transfer to succeed."

"Well, I do feel this way. Generally speaking, even if you are not satisfied with the price during transfer negotiations, you will not refuse so relentlessly."

Hearing Mourinho's reminder, Peter Kenyon also recalled it at this time.

Louis is not negotiating, he is simply trying to mess up this transfer.

"Jose, what do you mean?"

"Peter, is there a possibility that the Chinese man has seen through our plan?"

"What? Impossible? We only contacted the other Crystal Palace players at the very beginning, but we never contacted them again. Can this also reveal flaws?"

Hearing this, Peter Kenyon was startled, it would be bad if this happened.

"It's not necessarily that we showed our flaws. I think it's more likely that the Huaguo person thought of it himself."

"How powerful is that Chinese man? Jose, are you overestimating him? I admit that he is a talented coach, but running a club is not an easy task, and it is impossible without rich experience."

"Peter, since that Chinese man became our opponent, I have been studying Huaguo culture. There is a saying in it, which I think makes sense. That is, there is no harm in thinking more about your opponent."

"Well, even if the Huaguo person thought of it himself. So what are you going to do next, will our plan continue?"

Peter Kenyon feels that Mourinho is a bit crazy now. Could it be that he is under too much pressure from that Chinese man?
"Continue, of course we must continue. Didn't that Chinese man insist on 2000 million euros? Then we will give it to him. Wait until next summer, when he will cry."
