Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 151 Digging pits, I am a professional
After Riquelme was sent off, Villarreal seemed to lose their soul, and the spirit of the entire team collapsed in an instant.

Even though Pellegrini kept changing players and adjusting on the sidelines, he shouted loudly to cheer up the players.

But since then, Villarreal's offensive has never posed any real threat to Crystal Palace.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Crystal Palace beat Villarreal 3-0 thanks to three first-half goals from Toni, Ronaldo and Modric. 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the UEFA Cup, and a bonus of 2500 million euros for the champion."

"Boss, we are the champions! We are the champions!"

While Chen Ran was still savoring the news of the system, he was already lifted up by the swarming team members.

The next moment, another starry sky came into view.

"Fuck, it's like this again."

Receive medals, receive trophies, take group photos, and celebrate with carnival.

As Crystal Palace continues to win one championship after another, this set of procedures, from Chen Ran to the players, has become extremely proficient.

Tonight, no one sleeps.

Thousands of miles away in China, the fans of Crystal Palace are also ecstatic.

You must know that as a newly promoted team to win the top league championship, there are Nottingham Forest and Kaiserslautern before Crystal Palace.

But while winning the top league championship, they also won the European championship, but there is only Crystal Palace.

"Haha, Crystal Palace is making history. It's amazing to qualify for the UEFA Cup as a secondary league team, and then win the championship."

"That's right. And the Crystal Palace still won the game 3-0, which is convincing."

"Crystal Palace will be able to participate in the European Champions Cup next year. I really hope that Chen Ran can lead Crystal Palace to win the Champions League next year."

"Have you noticed? If Chen Ran can lead Crystal Palace to win the Champions League next year, is his trend similar to Chelsea's Mourinho?"

"It's true what you said. That Mourinho also led the team to win the league championship first, then the UEFA Cup championship, and finally the Champions League championship."

"Haha, it's quite similar. But no matter how powerful Mourinho is, he has become Chen Ran's defeat. Chelsea have lost and drawn against Crystal Palace this season. There is no win."

"Yes. And before Chelsea was eliminated by Liverpool in the Champions League, I guess Mourinho is depressed now."

At this time, in the Chelsea club in London, neither Mourinho nor CEO Peter Kenyon came home.

The two gathered in Peter Kenyon's office and watched the UEFA Cup final together.

"Snapped."

Mourinho turned off the TV with the remote control, the game was over, and he was not interested in watching the Crystal Palace award ceremony.

"Peter, Jorge has already told me clearly that the Chinese man is not willing to let him go, no matter how much he pays. And their contract is still three years away, so Ronaldo can't come to Chelsea even if he wants to."

"How is the situation on your side? Is there any progress?"

"Like you, there is no progress. All the replies are that the transfer will not be considered until the UEFA Cup final."

Peter Kenyon spread his hands, he is also a big duck egg.

"Now that the game is over, Crystal Palace has won the UEFA Cup as they wished. Presumably those guys have achieved their goal of using the championship to increase their status."

"Peter, it's up to you. If you don't get Ronaldo, I don't believe that others won't get it either? As long as our bid is high enough, someone will be tempted."

It's okay to lose to Crystal Palace in the Premier League, because Crystal Palace is strong enough, and Mourinho can barely accept it.

But Chelsea was eliminated by the crappy Liverpool in the Champions League, which was a bit difficult for Mourinho to accept.

Under the leadership of the Spaniard Benitez, Liverpool did not even qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, and was overwhelmed by their city rival Everton.

Is it just such a team that eliminated its own Chelsea?
After a busy season, Chelsea only won one League Cup in the end, which kept Mourinho's heart on fire.

"Understood, leave the rest to me."

Peter Kenyon also knew that Mourinho was in a bad mood now. For Chelsea, which invested heavily, winning only one League Cup would undoubtedly be a failed season.

Fortunately, the boss Abramovich is still patient with Mourinho and has no plans to make a substitution for the time being.

As long as the boss does not plan to change coaches, then Peter Kenyon will naturally continue to cooperate with Mourinho's plan.

But if one day the boss loses patience, I'm sorry.

Looking at the gloomy Mourinho, Peter Kenyon said secretly in his heart.

On the night of the UEFA Cup final, in Barcelona, ​​Spain, Little Fatty Luis invited Messi's agent father to have dinner together.

He deliberately picked a private room with a large-screen TV, uncharacteristically turned on the TV, and changed the channel to Sky Sports, which was broadcasting the UEFA Cup final.

"Haha, Jorge, don't you mind if we watch the game while eating? You know, as a member of the Crystal Palace club, I am still very concerned about this UEFA Cup final."

"Oh, of course I don't mind. It just so happens that I can also get to know your boss and the players of Crystal Palace together."

Although Jorge Messi felt surprised in his heart, on the surface, of course he would not refuse Luis' request.

Isn't this guy afraid of Crystal Palace losing the game?
Or does he have absolute confidence in the strength of Crystal Palace, thinking that Crystal Palace will definitely be able to defeat their opponents and win the UEFA Cup?

Jorge Messi muttered inwardly.

Of course he knew that the little fat man wanted to show him the strength of the Crystal Palace.

But doing so also entails a huge risk. If Crystal Palace loses the game, they will show their butt instead of showing their faces.

In any case, Jorge Messi must admit that the little fat man's unreasonable moves have successfully aroused his interest in the Crystal Palace club.

For Jorge Messi, who has no intention of letting his son transfer now, the appointment this time is just to pave the way for the future.

After all, no one knows what kind of height Messi can reach in the future.

In case he can't play the main force in Barcelona, ​​as a father, he must always leave a way out for his son, right?
However, to the surprise of Jorge Messi and Fatty, the UEFA Cup final ended the suspense of the game at an astonishing speed.

Crystal Palace took a 3-0 lead in the first half, which made the little fat man secretly give Chen Ran a thumbs up.

Good guy, this assist came in time.

You know, before coming to Barcelona, ​​Chen Ran specifically told Louis to arrange everything for today.

When he first heard about Chen Ran's plan, the little fat man had the same idea as Jorge Messi.

The risk of this special meow is too great, right?
Who can guarantee that they will win the UEFA Cup final?
What if I miss the game?
Fortunately, Chen Ran finally convinced Louis, and only then did the current scene happen.

During the intermission, the little fat man turned off the TV and said braggingly:
"Haha, the second half is probably garbage time, there is no need to watch it anymore."

"Indeed, I didn't expect the strength of Crystal Palace to be so strong. Villarreal is not a weak team. In this season's La Liga, they are second only to Barcelona and Real Madrid. They have already won the next season. Champions League qualification."

The son plays for Barcelona, ​​and Jorge Messi is of course familiar with the La Liga team of Villarreal.

It's just that he really didn't expect that Villarreal, who can wrestle with Barcelona and Real Madrid in the league, would be so vulnerable in front of Crystal Palace.

At this moment, Jorge Messi's positioning of Crystal Palace in his heart has been greatly improved.

Perhaps, it seems that Crystal Palace can also get in touch seriously?
While Fatty and Jorge Messi were having dinner and watching a football match, there were also people discussing them in the Barcelona club.

"Sir, Messi's father, Jorge Messi, is having dinner with Luis Figel, Crystal Palace's sporting manager."

"However, before he went, he specifically informed me of this matter. He said that he just dealt with it out of courtesy, and Messi had no intention of transferring at all."

Barcelona's sports director Fernandez is reporting the latest transfer trends to Chairman Laporta.

"Robert, do you believe Jorge Messi said that his son has no intention of moving?"

Laporta looked at Fernandez and asked lightly.

"Eh, what Jorge Messi said should be true. Unless, the conditions offered by Crystal Palace are beyond expectations."

Fernandez thought for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Robert, I suddenly called you back from London this time. Apart from the offer from Crystal Palace to Messi, I also want to know what you did to that Ronaldo from Crystal Palace?"

"Ronaldo?"

Hearing Laporta mention the name, Fernandez was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted.

"Mr. Chairman, I just contacted Ronaldo's agent, Mendes, and have not formally offered to the Crystal Palace club yet."

"You mean, Crystal Palace made an offer to Messi this time because I approached Ronaldo?"

"Well, it's very possible. I judge that this is a warning from the Crystal Palace Club for your behavior."

Laporta nodded and glanced at himself, the right-hand man in charge of the transfer.

"I called you back just to confirm in person, is this Ronaldo worth our shot? Even if we pay the price that may turn against the Crystal Palace Club."

"Mr. Chairman, it is not a question of whether we are willing to take action against Ronaldo. It is a matter of Ronaldo's contract with Crystal Palace for three years. As long as the Crystal Palace club does not agree, no one can take Ronaldo away."

"You mean, this Ronaldo is in the same situation as our Messi, as long as we don't agree, no one can take him away?"

"Yes, Mr. Chairman."

"I see. Now you can answer my earlier question."

"It's worth it. This Ronaldo is a football genius like Messi, and his future achievements will not be lower than that of Real Madrid's Ronaldo."

"Well, from today onwards, you send someone to follow up on the situation of Ronaldo in the Crystal Palace for a long time. As long as his upward momentum remains unchanged, there will always be a chance to attack him in the future."

"Okay, Mr. Chairman."

That night, Luis, who returned to the hotel after having dinner with Jorge Messi, immediately called Chen Ran.

"Chen, your method really works. Messi's father is a little tempted."

"However, according to Jorge Messi, his son signed a five-year contract with the Barcelona club before. So whether he can transfer now or not, the decision is entirely in the hands of the Barcelona club."

"As expected."

Chen Ran was not surprised by this result.

Barcelona's management is not an idiot. For the genius Messi in their eyes, of course, he was firmly tied to the Barcelona car with a contract early.

"Then what should we do now? Stop?"

"I believe our warning has been received by the top management of FC Barcelona."

"If there is no accident, that Fernandez should not contact Ronaldo again, at least not now."

"So, your main task has been completed and you can come back."

"However, before you come back, you can ask Jorge Messi to meet again."

"Meet Jorge Messi? Chen, do you have any ideas?"

Louis has become accustomed to the endless tricks of his friend.

"Well, I have a little idea, and it can be regarded as a foreshadowing for the future."

"Okay, Chen, don't be a fool."

"You tell Jorge Messi that when the Barcelona club looks for him to renew his contract in the future, let him add a liquidated damages clause to the contract, and the lower the liquidated damages, the better."

"Liquidated damages? Chen, what do you mean?"

"That's right. If Messi develops very smoothly in the future and deserves the liquidated damages, then I don't mind using the liquidated damages to directly forcibly rob someone."

"Gudu."

The little fat man couldn't help but swallowed on the other end of the phone. You must know that liquidated damages in football transfers are usually astronomical.

"Chen, any transfer involving liquidated damages is usually a sky-high transfer, such as Figo, who was forcibly taken away from Barcelona by Real Madrid before."

"This Messi, is it worth doing that?"

"That's why I say it's a foreshadowing for the future, do it if it's worth it, and don't do it if it's not worth it."

"alright, I got it."

Putting down the phone, Chen Ran was in a good mood.

Although the goal of bringing Messi back was not achieved, he also dug a hole for Barcelona.

Digging, I am a professional.
