Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 137 Everyone has a good show to watch

The contest in the transfer market is not over yet, but the No.20 round of the Premier League is about to start again.

This time Crystal Palace is a guest at Fulham, there is nothing to say about the process of the game.

Fulham is now ranked fourth from the bottom in the Premier League standings and is not an opponent of Crystal Palace at all.

After three days of rest, Chen Ran dispatched the entire main lineup for this game.

And adopted Guardiola's tactics at the beginning, relying on the goals of Ribery, Ronaldo and Vidic, they defeated Fulham 3-0 in a devastating manner.

While scoring three points, it also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of 200 million euros.

In other games of this round of the Premier League, there is another strong dialogue that is very eye-catching, that is, Liverpool vs. Chelsea at home.

Originally, Chen Ran also hoped that Benitez could win his breath and lead Liverpool to stop Chelsea from catching up.

Unfortunately, compared with Mourinho, Benitez is still a bit worse.

Chelsea beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield, taking away three points.

Among the other two strong teams, Arsenal beat Charlton 3:1 away, and Manchester United beat Middlesbrough 2:0 away.

After the No.20 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace continued to top the standings with a record of 61 wins and [-] draw with [-] points.

With 51 wins, three draws and two losses, Chelsea still ranks second with [-] points.

Arsenal ranked third with 46 points from [-] wins, four draws and two losses.

After a day's rest, the No.20 second round of the Premier League will start again. This time Crystal Palace ushered in Aston Villa at home.

Because this is the last game of the Christmas Devil's schedule, the physical fitness of the players has also reached its limit.So in this game, Chen Ran had to make a large-scale rotation.

However, because Crouch is in a sensitive period and it is not convenient to play, and Jan Kohler introduced by Chen Ran has not yet joined the team, so as the only center forward in the Crystal Palace team, Tony has to continue to play.

The game was very difficult, and Aston Villa had one thought from top to bottom.

That is, no matter what tactics Crystal Palace adopts, I will stick to it to the end. If you Crystal Palace can break my goal, I will admit it.

On the Crystal Palace side, because the offensive line is full of substitute players, the offensive power is much worse than that of the main lineup.

It wasn't until the No.808 minute of the game that Tony scored the only goal with a flying tackle.

With this goal, Crystal Palace barely beat Aston Villa 1-0 at home.

At the same time of winning the game, Chen Ran once again brought a winning bonus of 200 million euros.

However, for this goal, Tony also paid the price of a muscle strain.

It was already a fatigued battle, but in order to reach the ball, Tony stretched his body to the extreme.

As a result, the ball was scored, but he himself had to be carried off the field on a stretcher.

Chen Ran was in a hurry at the time, Tony can be said to be the mainstay of Crystal Palace now.As soon as he was injured, Crystal Palace's fulcrum in the frontcourt was gone.

Without the fulcrum in the frontcourt, what's the use of the breakthroughs of Ronaldo and Ribery on the two wings?

Fortunately, the Christmas Devil's schedule is over, and Crystal Palace ushered in a respite.

The only thing that makes Chen Ran happy is that the winter transfer period has finally begun.

在本轮英超联赛的其他比赛里，切尔西在主场2：0战胜了米德尔斯堡，阿森纳则在主场1：1被曼城逼平，曼联在老特拉福德被托特纳姆热刺0：0逼平，利物浦则在客场2：1力克诺维奇。

After the No.20 second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace continued to top the standings with a record of 21 wins and one tie with 64 points.

With 54 wins, three draws and two losses, Chelsea still ranks second with [-] points.

Arsenal ranked third with 47 points from [-] wins, [-] draws and [-] losses.

"Chen, Jan Kohler and Van der Sar have passed the medical examination, and their transfer fees are 350 million euros and 300 million euros respectively. If you have no questions, then the two transfers are settled?"

As soon as the winter transfer period started, chubby Louis became the busiest person in Crystal Palace. With the medical reports of Jan Kohler and Van der Sar, he came to Chen Ran to make a final decision.

"Since there is no problem with the medical examination, then it's settled. Inform Stephen, sign the contract, and hold a welcome ceremony for them."

Chen Ran pretended to flip through the physical examination report handed over by the little fat man. In fact, he couldn't understand it either, as long as he knew the conclusion.

"Okay. However, Chen, regarding Crouch's transfer, Manchester United has clearly given up. But there is no news from Chelsea. Do you think they gave up or have other ideas?"

"I'd rather they give up."

Chen Ran glared at the little fat man angrily.

"Wait patiently. Now is the time to compete for concentration. If anyone can't hold his breath, he will suffer."

"I estimate that they will eventually agree to a price of 2000 million euros."

Before the little fat man could reply, his cell phone rang suddenly.

"I'm Louis. Oh, it's Mr. Kenyon, hello, hello."

"What, you agreed to Crouch's transfer fee of 2000 million euros?"

"Sorry, Mr. Kenyon, I didn't catch you just now."

"I want to confirm again, you just said: 'Chelsea Club has agreed to our transfer fee of 2000 million euros from Crystal Palace'?"

"Oh, we haven't changed. As long as you are willing to pay 2000 million euros, you can take Crouch away. Okay, I will inform Crouch to go to your place for a medical examination later."

"Okay, okay. Happy cooperation, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, the little fat man looked at Chen Ran foolishly, there really was someone who was taken advantage of and was willing to pay this money.

"Chen, they actually agreed. This is a transfer fee of 2000 million euros!"

"I heard it all."

Seeing the little fat man's hopeless appearance, Chen Ran glared at him again.

Although Chelsea was brutally slaughtered, why couldn't Chen Ran be happy?
A thousand dollars to buy a horse bone?
It seems that Chelsea is indeed moving in the direction it guessed.

The rain is about to come, the wind is all over the building
Spain, FC Barcelona.

Sporting director Fernandez is reporting to club president Laporta on the transfer.

Near the end, Fernandez suddenly mentioned a name that Laporta did not expect.

"Mr. Chairman, do you still remember the Chinese from the Crystal Palace?"

"Crystal Palace? You mean that Mr. Chen, right?"

Laporta was taken aback for a moment, why did Fernandez suddenly mention this irrelevant person?Could it be that he has taken a fancy to a player from Crystal Palace?

"That's right. Crystal Palace is now in the Premier League with a strong momentum and has been occupying the top of the standings. It is no longer the small team in the British Championship."

"Okay, Robert, don't go around in circles in front of me, just say what you want to say."

"Mr. Chairman, do you still remember the five young players that Crystal Palace took away from La Masia?"

"Well, there is such a thing. What's the matter?"

Barcelona is one of the top clubs in the world. Laporta is busy with various affairs of the club all day long. How can he still remember the few unknown young players at the beginning.

"The reason why those five young players went to Crystal Palace is because Crystal Palace signed a buy-back clause with us. And that buy-back clause will take effect next summer."

"What? You want to activate that buyback clause? Are the five young players doing well?"

This time Laporta was also aroused by Fernandez and asked in detail.

"Not five, but one of them called Cesc Fabregas did well and I think he deserves our buy-back clause."

"Cesc Fabregas?"

Laporta seemed to remember something.

"I seem to remember that this is Cesc Fabregas who has the highest buyback amount, right?"

"Yes, Sir, your memory is very good. This Cesc Fabregas buyback amount is 540 million euros."

"540 million euros? This amount is not small. What? This Cesc Fabregas is now the main player in the Crystal Palace?"

"That's not true. But he is already one of the main substitutes, and he has a lot of opportunities to play."

"Main substitute? Is it worth 540 million euros?"

As soon as I heard it was a substitute?Laporta's interest immediately dropped a lot.

When did the dignified Barcelona club buy someone else's substitute player?
"Mr. Chairman, Cesc Fabregas will only turn 18 next year. If Crystal Palace can win the Premier League title this season, as the main substitute player for Crystal Palace, his potential is immeasurable."

"I'll be 18 next year? That's quite potential."

Hearing Fernandez's reminder, Laporta nodded in agreement.In fact, Laporta has long forgotten about Fabregas' situation.

"So, Robert, you send someone to track Fabregas's performance. If Crystal Palace can really win the Premier League this season, and his performance is also very good. Then next summer, we will activate the buy-back clause."

"Okay, Mr. Chairman."

Fernandez was about to turn around and leave when Laporta called him back.

"Robert, wait a moment."

Laporta seemed to think of something again at this time.

"So, Robert, you tell your people, don't just focus on Cesc Fabregas. The performance of the other Crystal Palace players is also recorded."

"If Crystal Palace can win the Premier League, it means that their players are good. If there is a suitable candidate, they can bring them back to Barcelona next summer."

"Understood, Mr. Chairman is really wise."

London, Chelsea FC, CEO Peter Kenyon's office.

"Jose, I have agreed to Crystal Palace's asking price of 2000 million euros according to your wishes. Are you satisfied now?"

"Thank you, Peter. Next, you need to send someone to stir up Crouch's transfer. Especially his sky-high transfer fee and huge annual salary, it's best to let everyone know. "

"Hehe, if things go on like this, we Chelsea will really be regarded as nouveau riche. After spending so much money, your and my reputation will plummet. I don't know how many people will laugh at us behind our backs."

Peter Kenyon touched his bald head and smiled helplessly.

He doesn't even know now, if he continues to do this with Mourinho, will he be ruined.

"Don't care what those short-sighted villains say, we just want to create an image of Chelsea as rich and willing to spend money."

Mourinho waved his hand indifferently. He has always paid more attention to results. As for whether the process is ugly, he doesn't care.

"The current Chelsea, unlike Manchester United, has a championship halo. If they want to attract top players, they can only rely on money to lure them."

"We want all the good players in the world to know that if you want to make big money, come to Chelsea!"

In London, when the people of the Crystal Palace club were still busy with the joining of Jan Kohler and Van der Sar, an amazing news shocked the entire English football world.

"Have you heard? Crystal Palace's England international striker Crouch has joined Chelsea?"

"Understood, it has spread on the Internet, and it is said that the transfer fee is as high as 2000 million euros."

"2000 million euros? Are Chelsea crazy? Crouch is just a substitute striker for Crystal Palace, is it worth that much money?"

"Then don't worry about it so much, Chelsea is willing to pay the money anyway."

"I think Chelsea's management is out of their minds? Are you not afraid of being fired by the Russian boss for spending so much money?"

"You can't say that. You have to know that Chelsea bought someone from the championship rival Crystal Palace. If there is less money, Crystal Palace will definitely not sell."

"That's true. It was rumored that Manchester United also wanted to buy Crouch. It seems that they were scared off by the price of 2000 million euros. This Chelsea is really rich."

"It's not just the sky-high transfer fee. I heard that Crouch's weekly salary has reached [-] pounds. This is six times his salary at Crystal Palace. If it were me, I would also move to Chelsea."

"Hehe, I guess Crouch was just the first player to leave Crystal Palace, but definitely not the last."

"That's right, everyone has a good show to watch now."

"Chen, Crouch's transfer didn't leak from us."

The little fat man broke into Chen Ran's office angrily.

"I know."

Chen Ran was practicing brush calligraphy, he didn't even look at the little fat man, and just replied three words lightly.

"Chen, rumors are spreading that Crouch is only the first player to leave Crystal Palace, and there are many more to come. Moreover, Crouch's exorbitant transfer fee and huge salary are now being spread all over the sky."

"I know."

"Don't just say you know, think of a way. Otherwise, if other players are also thinking about transferring, then our Crystal Palace will be doomed."

Seeing that Chen Ran still looked unhurried, the little fat man snatched his writing brush anxiously.

"Why panic? Ever since Chelsea agreed to our offer of 2000 million euros, I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day."

Chen Ran picked up the towel on the table and wiped his hands, "This is all planned by others, there is no use in worrying."

"So you're already prepared?"

Hearing Chen Ran's answer, the little fat man's eyes lit up.

"nonsense!"
