Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 141 The largest contract in history

At this time, Arsenal's two central defenders were very dedicated.

Campbell stared closely at Jan Kohler, and Kolo Toure clung to Ronaldo.

It's Evra!

This guy has seen Alves play well on the right and has sent an assist.

As a player who joined Crystal Palace at the same time as Alves, he was not willing to let Alves stand alone.

So, Evra saw the opportunity and rushed into Arsenal's penalty area and grabbed the ball.

Unfortunately, his header was too straight, Lehmann subconsciously blocked it and missed the goal.

Fortunately, the ball bounced not far away. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a keen sense of smell in front of the goal, immediately rushed over to make a tackle and shot the ball into Arsenal's goal.

"Goal"

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, Crystal Palace overtook Arsenal 2:1.

"Haha! We won!"

Chen Ran on the sidelines immediately embraced with his assistants.

On the other side, Wenger snorted angrily, turned around and walked directly to the player tunnel.

In the end, with Ronaldo's two goals, Crystal Palace reversed Arsenal 2:1 away.

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

In the other games of this round, Chelsea continued to win, they beat Everton 1-0 away.

Manchester United also beat Manchester City 2:0 away, while Liverpool lost 0:2 away to Birmingham.

No.20 After the end of the seven rounds of the Premier League, Crystal Palace continued to top the standings with a record of 26 wins and 79 tie with [-] points;
With 21 wins, four draws and two losses, Chelsea still ranks second with 67 points;

Manchester United ranked third with 57 points from [-] wins, nine draws and two losses;

Arsenal ranked fourth with 53 points from [-] wins, [-] draws and [-] losses.

Thousands of miles away in China, the Crystal Palace fans who stayed up late to watch the game were so excited that they couldn't sleep, they rushed to the post bar to pour water.

"Haha, this game was really exciting. It is indeed a strong dialogue in the Premier League. It is not a loss to stay up late tonight to watch the game."

"Indeed, it was a joy to watch. The offenses on both sides were very powerful. In the end, if Arsenal's left back was not blown up, it is not certain who will win."

"That's right. The Arsenal left-back couldn't run anymore in the end, and Alves, who was replaced by Chen Ran, couldn't help it."

"It's that guy named Ashley Cole. There are gossip that this guy even competed with Chen Ran for his girlfriend back then."

"What? And this thing? If you want to talk about this, then I won't be sleepy. Let's talk about it in detail."

After playing the Arsenal game, although there was a two-day break in the middle, he was going to play in Austria, a place he was not familiar with, so Chen Ran took the team and flew to Vienna the next day.

On February 2, Crystal Palace challenged Graz AK away.

Regarding this UEFA Cup match, Chen Ran did not dare to relax in the slightest.

He did not let down his vigilance because his opponent Graz AK is not well-known, and he still sent all the main lineup.

Although the players were exhausted after the match against Arsenal, Chen Ran couldn't care less now.

In the end, Crystal Palace was still dragged down by the schedule, and the physical fatigue made the players completely out of shape.

Crystal Palace was tied 0:0 by Graz AK in the away game. If they want to advance to the next round, the only way left is to return to the home court and win the opponent.

After playing the UEFA Cup, Chen Ran led the team back to London non-stop.

On February 2, in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Crystal Palace ushered in their old rival Manchester United.

Counting it, this is already the third time the two sides have played against each other this season.

Crystal Palace was eliminated by Manchester United in the League Cup before, and the two sides also drew in the Premier League.

But this time, due to the schedule, Chen Ran had to make the decision to give up the FA Cup.

It seems that Crystal Palace's unbeaten record against Manchester United this season will increase again.

I don't know how those unscrupulous reporters will scold me after the game.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran curled his lips helplessly, and filled in the names of substitute players one after another in the Crystal Palace's starting list for this game.

On Manchester United's side, Ferguson, who knew that he had no hope of winning the Premier League this season, put all his energy into the cup.

For this FA Cup game against Crystal Palace, he once again sent the entire main lineup.

The result of the game was not surprising. Crystal Palace finally lost to Manchester United 0:1 at home, stopping the fifth round of the FA Cup.

In five days and three games, Crystal Palace only achieved one win, one draw and one loss.

This immediately attracted the attention of the English media.

"Three games in five days, with only one win, one draw and one loss, is Crystal Palace starting to go downhill?"

"Two losses and one tie. Crystal Palace has no wins against Manchester United this season. Sir Alex Ferguson is really the nemesis of that Chinese man."

"Crystal Palace is showing its decline, Chelsea has won consecutive victories, and the suspense of the title of the Premier League this season is renewed."

"Facing the intensive schedule, that Chinese man obviously lacks the experience to deal with it."

"Crystal Palace's bench is not deep enough, and they let go of England international Crouch, which can be called a big failure in the transfer market."

"So far, Crystal Palace has been eliminated in the FA Cup and the League Cup. In this round of the UEFA Cup, they were tied by an underdog. Could it be that the UEFA Cup will be the next event in which Crystal Palace is eliminated? ?"

"Damn it, these bastards, I knew it would be like this."

Seeing all kinds of reports collected by the little fat man, Chen Ran's teeth itch with hatred.

"Haha, Chen, these media outlets are like this, just treat them as farting."

"Got it. How about the transfer? Any news?"

"Yes. But there are good and bad, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Why so much nonsense? Just say it."

"Okay. The Lewandowski you mentioned is still looking for it. You also know that I don't have any contacts in Poland. It may take a long time."

"As for Kompany, he got in touch. He is still very willing to join Crystal Palace. However, Anderlecht's appetite is a bit big."

"A little big? How big?"

Chen Ran frowned when he heard that, the Belgian players at this time were not as good as they were later.

"They asked for 1000 million euros."

"What? 1000 million euros? Luis, are you sure you're right?"

Chen Ran couldn't believe his ears. Kompany didn't play this year, but he still played as a central defender. Is Anderlecht poor and crazy?
"Chen, they did say 1000 million euros, and I was surprised at the time."

The little fat man spread his hands helplessly, and he was also impressed by the Belgian's courage.

"Then Kompany will give up for the time being, it's too outrageous. By the way, is Vieira in contact?"

"Contacted. I passed through an intermediary and Vieira did not refuse to join our Crystal Palace."

"Okay, finally there is good news. You can keep an eye on this line, and keep in touch with Vieira at any time. I will be of great use when I need it."

"Understood. But, Chen, will Arsenal really let Vieira go? Even if they let go, I'm afraid it will only be sold outside England. Selling it to us will make it more difficult for them to compete for the Premier League title?"

"Hehe, competing for the Premier League title? This matter will not be with Arsenal in the future. As long as the price is high enough, Arsenal will not have any scruples in selling people."

"So exaggerated?" The little fat man looked at Chen Ran in surprise.

"It's just that exaggerated. Maybe Arsenal will monopolize the captain in the future."

After sending away the little fat man, Stephen found him again.

"Chen, Emirates is willing to further discuss the sponsorship plan you proposed. It has also expressed a strong interest in naming our new stadium."

"Oh? That's good news. What about BWIN and Dream Company? Any reply?"

"Dream Company has not responded yet. However, BWIN seems to have little interest in your new plan. They said that the budget is only 1000 million euros, and there will be nothing more."

With a budget of only 1000 million euros?I believe he is a ghost.

Chen Ran secretly complained in his heart.

Reborn, he knew very well that BWIN later sponsored several wealthy clubs at the same time, and each sponsorship fee was more than 1000 million euros.

It seems that they want to take the method of sowing seeds everywhere, rather than focusing on focusing on one club.

However, Emirates has expressed interest in naming the new Crystal Palace stadium.

Does that mean that they now want to give up the title sponsorship of Arsenal's new stadium?
Thinking of this, Chen Ran suddenly became energetic.

It seems that Arsenal's poor record for a while has directly affected their sponsor negotiations.

Arsenal's financial woes would be further exacerbated if the Emirates were pulled over to Crystal Palace's side.

In this case, when it comes to the summer transfer period, Arsenal will have to open a player supermarket to raise funds.

Then the possibility of Crystal Palace winning Vieira will further increase, and the price will not be too outrageous.

These things are one after the other, and the more Chen Ran thinks about it, the more he feels that there is a lot to do.

"Stephen, from now on, you will focus on the Emirates line."

"My goal is to get Emirates to package the Crystal Palace jersey advertisement and the new stadium title sponsorship."

"Package sponsorship? Chen, then this contract is not small, can Emirates Airlines take it?"

"Hehe, Stephen, don't doubt the strength of Emirates Airlines, the backers behind them have plenty of money."

"Okay. Chen, what's your quotation for this packing contract?"

"At least [-] million euros."

"OMG! Chen, this is impossible, right? No club in England has ever had such a big sponsorship contract."

Stephen was completely surprised by Chen Ran's offer, he felt that Chen Ran was out of imagination.

"Hehe, Stephen, you have to break those outdated concepts. Why can't we have them now?"

"Two hundred million euros is not a one-year sponsorship fee."

"Whether it is a jersey advertisement or the naming of a new stadium, it is a long-term contract. If it is apportioned to each year, there is actually not much."

Chen Ran rubbed the center of his brows, Stephen is good everywhere, but he is too deeply influenced by those traditional English concepts.

"Well, I was too reckless."

Hearing Chen Ran's analysis, Stephen also felt that he was making a fuss.

"Then, Chen, how many years do you plan to contract with Emirates for the [-] million euros?"

"Haha, Stephen, it depends on your negotiating ability and the results of our Crystal Palace."

Chen Ran stood up and poured Stephen a cup of coffee himself.

"As for how many years? Of course, the shorter the time, the higher the unit price, the better."

"For this sponsorship contract, you have to be mentally prepared for long-term negotiations. Time is on our side."

"If Crystal Palace wins the Premier League title at the end of the season, then we will have greater negotiating leverage."

"If we can still win the UEFA Cup, then our bargaining chips will be more sufficient."

"Stephen, imagine this: If we can win this big contract, is the [-] million euro loan for the new stadium still a problem?"

Chen Ran's words seemed to be the temptation of the devil, and they went straight into Stephen's mind.

As soon as he thought that the largest contract in history with more than [-] million euros was likely to be born in his own hands, Stephen immediately felt full of energy.

After more than half a year of negotiations with the major banks in England regarding the loan of the new stadium, Stephen is now an expert in how to negotiate.

"Chen, don't worry, I will leave the negotiation to me. As long as Crystal Palace's results are good, I will definitely win Emirates."

"it is good!"

Without a few days off, Crystal Palace soon ushered in the second round of the fifth round of the UEFA Cup.

In the last round of the away game, Crystal Palace was tied 0:0 by Graz AK due to the drag of the schedule, and they have not yet scored an away goal.

Therefore, in this game, Crystal Palace can only advance if they win.

As for the 0:0 tie and then a penalty kick?That's not in Chen Ran's consideration.

这一场联盟杯的比赛是在2月25日进行，而2月27日，水晶宫又要进行英超联赛No.20八轮对阵伯明翰的比赛。

Chen Ran was completely convinced by the FA's schedule.

With no choice, Chen Ran sent all the main players to fight Graz AK.As for Birmingham, he couldn't care less now.

Fortunately, the physically fit Crystal Palace players are still relatively strong. With the goals of Ronaldo and Vidic, Crystal Palace won Graz AK 2:0 at home.

While advancing to the top 250 of the UEFA Cup, it also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of [-] million euros.

After just one day off, Crystal Palace once again ushered in the challenge of Birmingham at home.

Chen Ran sent out the main force and some substitutes, and finally relied on Jan Kohler's header to score and beat Birmingham 1-0 with difficulty.

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

A week later, in the No.20 nine rounds of the Premier League, Crystal Palace met Manchester United again.

This is the fourth time the two teams have met this season, and so far, Crystal Palace has no wins.

All of a sudden, all eyes were on this game.
