Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 160 I have won too much, I am a little embarrassed

"Chen, the Tianxia Fordbao program team of Huaguo Sports Channel wants to do an exclusive interview with you, do you agree?"

On the night when he first arrived in Shanghai, Stephen received an interview invitation from the sports channel.

"Oh? This is a good thing. Promise, of course you must."

"Stephen, the Sports Channel's Tianxia Fordbao program still has a great influence among Chinese fans. This is a good opportunity to expand the influence of Crystal Palace in China."

"In this way, when you reply to the other party, ask them if they are interested in following the Crystal Palace's entire itinerary in Huaguo besides the interview."

"Follow and shoot all the trips?"

Hearing Chen Ran's thoughts, Stephen was thoughtful.

"That's right, just the interview is too monotonous. We can combine the before and after the game between Crystal Palace and Shanghai Flowers, as well as our opening ceremony and interview at Smart Island Youth Training Base, so that the content will be richer."

"Haha, Chen, you are trying to borrow chickens to lay eggs."

After staying with Chen Ran for a long time, Stephen, who is eager to learn, can now come up with a few idioms from time to time.

"That's right. If the Tianxia Fordbao program can introduce the Crystal Palace Club and our youth training plan in detail, it will be much more effective than spending money on advertising."

"Okay, I know what to do."

After receiving Chen Ran's proposal relayed by Stephen, the Tianxia Fordbao program team also thought it was a good idea.

Therefore, the film crew of the Tianxia Ford Treasure program flew to Shanghai the next day, preparing to film the entire journey of the Crystal Palace to China.

Seeing the familiar young face in front of him, Chen Ran was filled with emotion.

Who would have thought that due to various reasons, a program that should have been prosperous for a long time would decline.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, thank you very much for accepting our interview. I heard that the idea of ​​following the whole process was proposed by you. This idea is really great."

Seeing Chen Ran coming out to greet him in person, Duan Xuan, the head host of the Tianxia Ford Treasure program, quickly walked a few steps, came forward to shake hands and say hello.

"Haha, Mr. Duan is really too polite. You are media professionals, you must have thought of my little suggestion a long time ago. It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."

Duan Xuan didn't expect that the multi-billion rich man in front of him had no airs at all, and he was relieved immediately.

You have to know that when Duan Xuan saw Chen Ran's information, he thought that this person who had achieved such a high achievement before the age of 30 would be somewhat arrogant and difficult to deal with.

To this end, he has also made sufficient psychological preparations.Now I find that it is not what I imagined at all.

Chen Ran and Duan Xuan were talking and laughing, as if they had been friends for many years.

The other program staff who came with Duan Xuan were also taken care of by Stephen and the staff of the club.

This made the staff of the Tianxia Ford treasure program group feel flattered, are they here for work or for vacation?

"Mr. Duan, you are a little older than me. I will call you Brother Xuan, and you will call me Chen Ran directly. Do you think this will work?"

"Ah? That's not okay, it's too impolite."

Duan Xuan was taken aback, thinking that this rich man is too easy-going.

"Brother Xuan, are you looking down on me?"

Chen Ran deliberately pretended to be unhappy.

"No, absolutely not. Well, then I'll call you Chen Ran."

Seeing Chen Ran's unwillingness to give up, Duan Xuan had no choice but to agree.

"Haha, that's right."

Seeing that Duan Xuan agreed, Chen Ran happily turned to look at Stephen.

"Stephen, open a few rooms for brother Xuan and his staff on our floor."

"Ah? Chen Ran, there's no need to do this. We've already booked a hotel, and the expenses are all reimbursed by Taili."

Seeing that Chen Ran was about to open a room for his group in this five-star hotel, Duan Xuan was shocked again.

"It's okay, Brother Xuan, all the rooms on this floor have been booked by our Crystal Palace. There are no outsiders, and you are idle. If you move here, it will be convenient for the next filming work, so you don't have to run back and forth."

"Okay, then respect is worse than obedience."

Duan Xuan looked at the eager eyes of his staff, thought for a while and felt that what Chen Ran said was indeed reasonable, so he agreed graciously.

After all, the funds allocated by Taili were limited, and they originally booked an ordinary three-star hotel.Now I can move to a five-star hotel without spending a penny, who would not want to change it.

After settling Duan Xuan and his party, Stephen came to Chen Ran's room.

"Chen, this Mr. Duan is just the host of a football show. Is it worth it for you?"

Although Chen Ran usually has no airs, it is the first time Stephen has seen such a deliberate friendship with someone.

"One more friend and one more road. And the influence of the sports channel among Huaguo fans is unimaginable. If we can have a friend of ours on the sports channel, the role it can play, sometimes It’s impossible to do it no matter how much money you spend.”

"Well, you must know the situation in Huaguo better, and you can do what you say."

"Well, I will entertain Duan Xuan personally. As for the staff who came with him, you transfer two Huaguo employees from Smart Island to be responsible for entertaining Duan Xuan's subordinates. I only have one request, and that is to let them Felt at home."

"Also, you asked the coaches to say hello to every team member, and there is a TV crew to follow and film our entire itinerary in China. Let them all pay attention to their words and deeds, and don't make jokes for us Disgrace to Crystal Palace."

"Don't worry, I will explain it."

The match between Crystal Palace and Shencheng Flowers was scheduled for the weekend. Under the call of the Crystal Palace post bar, the base camp of Crystal Palace fans, many Crystal Palace fans who were not locals of Shencheng also began to gather in Shanghai from all over the country, just to come to the scene Watch this weekend's Crystal Palace game.

The match was held at Hongkou Football Stadium, home of Shencheng Flower. This is the first professional football stadium in Huaguo, which can accommodate 5000 people.

To the surprise of many, the tickets for a friendly match of the new and rising team of Crystal Palace were sold out.

On the day of the game, countless fans gathered at the Hongkou Football Stadium from all directions wearing Crystal Palace jerseys.

The Crystal Palace players who took the bus from the hotel to the Hongkou Football Stadium couldn't help but gasp in amazement when they saw the crowds of Crystal Palace fans outside the stadium on the bus.

"I didn't expect our Crystal Palace to have so many fans in China."

"Yeah, before I came here, I thought that Chinese people only like to play table tennis."

"Shh, keep your voice down, there are still cameras in the car shooting.

Seeing the fans wearing Crystal Palace jerseys outside, Chen Ran also turned to look at Stephen sitting beside him.

"Stephen, have you seen it? We still have a lot of fans in Crystal Palace in China. And I firmly believe that there will be more and more fans in the future."

"When you return to London this time, you will personally draw up a China market development plan to provide better services for our fans in China."

"Okay, Chen, I will handle this matter myself."

Stephen knew that there was a camera in the car filming, so he readily agreed.

In order to maximize the publicity effect, for the first time, Chen Ran asked the film crew of Tianxia Fordbao to bring the camera into the team's locker room, and filmed the pre-match preparation meeting of Crystal Palace and Chen Ran's substitution adjustment during the intermission.

There is nothing to say about the game itself, in order to reward the Crystal Palace fans who came to the scene.

Chen Ran sent all the main players of Crystal Palace in the starting lineup, and even Vieira, who had just joined the team not long ago, also made an appearance.

Needless to say, in this kind of game, the one who stands out the most is naturally Ronaldo, performing all kinds of tricks one after another, making Shenchengzhihua's defenders go round and round.

In the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo, Toni and Modric each scored a goal for Crystal Palace, taking a 3-0 lead.

After 15 minutes in the second half, Chen Ran began to replace the substitutes one after another.

For example, Dzeko, Suarez, Vardy, Pique of the youth team, and even Bell, who had just graduated from high school and was dug into the Crystal Palace by Chen Ran, all got the chance to play.

Originally seeing Chen Ran replacing the main players one after another, the fans at the scene thought that Crystal Palace was going to call for gold to withdraw, so they accepted it when they saw it.

Who knew that these substitute players who came on the field were all alive and well, and they were even more active than the main players.

Especially those youngsters of the youth team, usually have no chance to show their abilities in front of the head coach Chen Ran.

It's hard to wait for an opportunity now, so why don't you play desperately?
This time, the players of Shencheng Zhihua were in bad luck.

Because of the different competition systems of the two countries, although Crystal Palace is now in the offseason, Shencheng Flower is in the middle of the season.

Seeing that Crystal Palace had replaced the main players, the head coach of Shanghai Flowers, the Russian Nepomniacki, also replaced the team's main players.

But Nepomnyack never imagined that the substitute players of Crystal Palace played more vigorously and devotedly.

So throughout the second half, Shencheng Flower was firmly suppressed by Crystal Palace in its own half, and was scored by Dzeko, Suarez and Vardy each.

In the end, Crystal Palace beat Shencheng Flowers by a big score of 6:0 at the Hongkou Football Stadium.It made Chen Ran a little embarrassed when he shook hands with Nepomniacki after the game.

Before the game was over, the Crystal Palace's post bar had exploded.

"I'll go. I usually watch the Premier League on TV. I don't think it's so fierce to watch Crystal Palace live."

"That's right. When Chen Ran replaced the main players in the second half, I thought the game was over. I didn't expect that the substitute players of Crystal Palace were even more fierce, and they couldn't pass the halftime at all."

"This is the strength of the Premier League champions. Shencheng Flower is also considered a veteran team in China. Now facing Crystal Palace, it is almost powerless to fight back."

"I'm more interested in the substitute players who played for Crystal Palace in the second half. I checked, and many of them are players from the Crystal Palace youth team. I didn't expect that even the Crystal Palace youth team players are so strong. This is the scariest thing." place."

"Yes. This shows that Crystal Palace has a deep bench. Once someone transfers or suffers an injury, someone can step up at any time."

"Doesn't this fully demonstrate that Chen Ran has a unique vision for pick-and-roll players?"

"It is true. Even the famous main players of Crystal Palace are unknown before coming to Crystal Palace."

"Hey, the more I talk about it, the more I feel that the strength of Crystal Palace is bottomless."

"After watching this game, I have the same feeling. I am now looking forward to Crystal Palace's performance next season."

"That's right. Especially the European Champions Cup. Now I want to see the clash between Crystal Palace and Real Madrid, AC Milan, Bayern Munich and other traditional European giants. That guy must be very exciting."

"Chen Ran, I didn't expect the strength of the Crystal Palace to be so strong. The feeling of watching the Crystal Palace game live is much stronger than watching it on TV."

After the game, Duan Xuan, who also watched the whole game on the spot, was also a little excited and pulled Chen Ran to talk non-stop.

"Haha, the main reason is that Shencheng Flower still has to play in the league and has some reservations. Unlike our Crystal Palace, the new season has not started yet, so we can play freely."

There were cameras following the whole process, so Chen Ran naturally wanted to say something nice for Shanghai Flower.Otherwise, if the Crystal Palace comes to China in the future, I am afraid that no one will be willing to play games with him.

After playing this friendly match and taking a day off, Chen Ran brought the whole Crystal Palace team to Smart Island, which is far away from the urban area.

Compared with a year ago, there is an extra football base here out of thin air.

Looking at the golden signboard of "Crystal Palace Huaguo Youth Training Base" at the door, Chen Ran nodded in satisfaction.

Unlike Director Xu who spent all his wealth, he had to find a bank loan to build a football base.

From the very beginning, Chen Ran built this youth training base according to the highest standards.

As long as the money is in place, things will naturally be used well.

The youth training base covering an area of ​​[-] mu is divided into two parts: the living area and the training area.

The living area has well-equipped dormitory buildings that meet star hotel standards, restaurants, infirmaries, meeting rooms, libraries, entertainment rooms, etc. not to mention.

Speaking of the training area alone, there are ten outdoor natural turf football fields and two indoor football fields in accordance with European standards.

Director Xu, who came to visit with him, chattered enviously about these facilities.

"It's too extravagant, it's really too extravagant."

"Haha, Director Xu, you can often bring the team over to play friendly matches in the future. Our two families are so close, we need to communicate more."

"Hehe, you boy, I will come here often if you don't tell me."

"Haha, that's really welcome."

For the unveiling ceremony of Smart Island Youth Training Base, Chen Ran also asked Stephen to send invitation letters to major domestic sports media early on.

The news that the Crystal Palace Huaguo Youth Training Base was officially inaugurated and started to use was also spread to all directions through these sports media from all over the country.

After the lively unveiling ceremony, in this youth training base, Chen Ran and Duan Xuan sat together, and the interview with Tianxia Fordbao officially began.
