Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 161 In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away

The entire interview went quite smoothly, and the benefits of Chen Ran and Duan Xuan's good relationship were revealed at this time.

Because all the questions in the entire interview were determined after communicating with Chen Ran in advance.

It can be said that without violating the basic facts, it fully demonstrates Chen Ran's achievements in the UK in recent years.

Successfully created an image of an outstanding young man in the new era who is smart, brave, and hardworking who has worked hard alone in a foreign country and achieved success.

At the end of the interview, Chen Ran also took the opportunity to advertise for Crystal Palace's Huaguo youth training base, announcing that Crystal Palace's nationwide youth training talent selection plan had officially begun.

So far, the main tasks of the trip to the Crystal Palace Huaguo are all completed.

After leaving Tuchel and his assistants to preside over the next youth training selection, Chen Ran flew to Tokyo, Japan with other members of the Crystal Palace.

As a newly rising team, Crystal Palace lacks foundation after all, and unlike in Huaguo, they have the blessing of Chen Ran Huaguo's identity.

Therefore, in the following Tokyo, Japan, Bangkok, Thailand, and Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, the attendance rate of Crystal Palace's three friendlies is not very satisfactory.

However, Chen Ran didn't care about it.

After all, the money that should be earned has already entered the pockets of Crystal Palace.

As for whether he can make money again next summer, Chen Ran is not worried at all.

As long as Crystal Palace continues to win championships in the new season, I believe that someone will take the initiative to send money to the door.

After more than half a month of making money, Chen Ran finally returned to London with the Crystal Palace.

Because Cheryl also has her own concert tour to do this time, she can't follow Chen Ran to Huaguo like last year.

Xiao Biesheng, the newlyweds, had to devote themselves to their respective jobs after relaxing for two days.

"Louis, tell us about the recent movements of our old opponents."

Chen Ran took most of the Crystal Palace team to Asia, and London naturally had to keep people in charge.

Louis, who was in charge of the transfer affairs of Crystal Palace, became this candidate.

The task Chen Ran gave him was to stay in London and monitor the transfer situation of major Premier League clubs at all times.If you find something unusual, keep yourself informed.

"Okay. During the summer transfer period this year, the Premier League clubs didn't make any big moves. The biggest transfer was Chelsea's 5000 million euros for the introduction of Essien."

Having said that, Louis paused for a moment, and smiled at Chen Ran knowingly.

"Chelsea's other big deal is to spend 4000 million euros to bring in wide player Wright Phillips from Manchester City."

"Then Chelsea also bought a left-back Del Horno from Athletic Bilbao in Spain, and sold forward Kežman to Atletico Madrid, and there is nothing to say about the rest."

"Arsenal bought a midfielder Hleb from Stuttgart in the Bundesliga."

"Manchester United have brought South Korean midfielder Park Ji-sung from PSV Eindhoven."

"Liverpool bought the old Chelsea player Zenden."

"Anyway, the transfer situation of our competitors is like this, and the others are not worth mentioning."

"The Premier League transfer market this summer doesn't seem to be very lively. Except for Chelsea, other teams don't have any big money."

After listening to Louis' report, Chen Ran suddenly had a bottom line.

"Yes. This year's situation is a bit abnormal, but isn't this a good thing for our Crystal Palace?"

The little fat man can think about it, the farther the opponent is thrown by the Crystal Palace, the better.

"Well, it is indeed a good thing. It seems that our main competitor for the Premier League title this season is still Chelsea."

"That's right. The Russian owner of Chelsea is really rich. He spent more than [-] million euros in the transfer market this summer. And this has been a huge investment for three consecutive years. He really doesn't take money as money."

The little fat man settled the accounts with his fingers. Essien received 5000 million euros, Wright Phillips 4000 million euros, and Del Horno 1200 million euros. The transfer fees of these three alone exceeded [-] million euros.

"With the full support of the Russian boss, Mourinho now has more and more cards in his hand and must find a way to solve this problem."

Chen Ran habitually tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and said slowly.

"Hey, it's okay, Chen, that Mourinho is your defeat, you can still keep him under this season."

The little fat man was full of confidence in Chen Ran as always, and he didn't take Mourinho seriously.

Chen Ran is studying his opponent, and others are also studying his Crystal Palace.

"Jose, so far this summer, Chelsea's transfer expenditure has exceeded [-] million euros, which has reached the budget limit allowed by the boss."

"If you still want to buy people, then you can only sell existing players to raise funds, or you can personally persuade the boss to invest more."

For the transfer, Peter Kenyon once again invited Mourinho to his office.

"I see."

Mourinho curled his lips and reluctantly agreed.

Although more than [-] million euros in transfer fees have been spent, Mourinho is actually very dissatisfied.

First of all, his main goal, none of the main players of Crystal Palace was poached, and he failed to achieve his goal of directly weakening his competitors.

The second is that Chelsea's current attractiveness is really poor. Except for the advantage of the boss being rich, they are all shortcomings.

In the eyes of many big-name players, Chelsea is now an out-and-out upstart.

If there were other options, these big-name stars would not even consider coming to Chelsea.

The most direct manifestation is that although Mourinho is waving a lot of money in his hand, he can't buy the players he likes.

Although he spent [-] million euros, except for Essien, no one else was the best choice in his heart.

"José, compared with our Chelsea, the strength of Crystal Palace has not changed much."

Seeing that Mourinho was in a bad mood, Peter Kenyon comforted him.

"Although they introduced Vieira, they also left Cesc Fabregas. Between entering and exiting, the strength did not increase much."

"And the Essien, Wright Phillips and Del Horno we introduced are all players who can play the main force when they come."

"The strength of the team has been significantly enhanced. This season we can definitely win the Premier League."

Seeing Peter Kenyon's full confidence, Mourinho's lips moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything.

Manchester United Club, Ferguson's office.

"Alex, I'm very sorry, all of our offers for Crystal Palace's main players have been rejected."

"Neither the player nor the Crystal Palace club accepted our offer."

Manchester United CEO David Gill bit the bullet to report the bad news to Ferguson.

At the beginning, David Gill also took the route of contacting the players first, but it turned out that the players of Crystal Palace were busy negotiating with the club for contract renewal.

David Gill thought this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes, so he offered a lot of attractive big contracts, and this move did arouse the interest of some players.

However, as Chen Ran threw out the introduction of Vieira one after another, the construction of a new stadium, and the signing of a sky-high sponsorship contract with Emirates.

The Crystal Palace players who were already a little tempted immediately terminated their contact with Manchester United and signed contract extensions with Crystal Palace one after another.

Seeing this situation, David Gill didn't give up. Since the player couldn't do it here, he might as well go directly to talk to the Crystal Palace club.

At this time, Chen Ran had already taken the team from the Crystal Palace to Asia, and the little fat man who stayed behind contacted Chen Ran immediately after receiving David Gill's offer.

And Chen Ran didn't ask the little fat man to report the specific offer from Manchester United, but simply replied with three words: "Let him go!"

But just as the little fat man was about to hang up the phone, Chen Ran suddenly added: "Just wait a moment, I'll think about it later."

"Ah? Chen, you don't really want to agree to Manchester United's offer, do you? They want to poach the main players of our Crystal Palace."

Chen Ran's beating up like this surprised Louis, and he thought that Chen Ran was really moved.

"What nonsense? I was just thinking about how to take this opportunity to dig a big hole for Manchester United."

So, Chen Ran arranged the plan he had just thought of to the little fat man step by step.

The next day, the little fat man called David Gill back, saying that now Chen Ran and most of the staff of the Crystal Palace are in Asia, and he can't decide on such a big matter.

So he could only report the matter to Chen Ran and make a decision after Chen Ran came back.

It is not a secret that Chen Ran took the team from the Crystal Palace to Asia to make money. Many people in the circle knew it, and they were very envious and hated for it.

So David Gill had no doubts about Louis's excuse for delaying time.

Such a big transfer is indeed not something that Louis, the sports manager, can decide on alone.

Chen Ran's calculations were very precise. He just wanted to drag Manchester United down for as long as he could.

It is best to delay until the end of the summer transfer period before telling the opponent that Crystal Palace will not accept any offers.

In this way, if Manchester United wants to find other foreign aid, either the suitable candidate has already negotiated a transfer, or it may be too late in terms of operating time.

After hearing Chen Ran's plan, Louis also felt that it was a good plan, and immediately volunteered to cooperate with the performance, and successfully made David Gill fall into the pit.

Seeing the smooth implementation of the plan step by step, Chen Ran, who is far away in China, truly experienced the feeling of "planning a strategy and winning a thousand miles away".

Although it's a bit inauthentic, who asked Manchester United to poach their own corners?This is retribution.

To say that Luis is definitely a powerful actor, at least he can win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his acting skills.

He not only made David Gill feel that Crystal Palace might agree to Manchester United's offer, but he didn't say anything to death, delaying the reply time and time again, playing this old world around.

Until David Gill finally lost his patience, but at this time, there was not much time left before the deadline for the summer transfer period.

Listening to David Gill's frank confession that he had been fooled by Crystal Palace, Ferguson was also speechless for a while.

It's a shame that David Gill, an old Jianghu, was played around by that young fat man from Crystal Palace.

But now that the matter has come to an end, what else can he say?

David Gill and Ferguson have a good relationship, and Ferguson has always followed the lead in the Manchester United club, which is of great help to Ferguson in controlling the Manchester United club.

So, instead of losing his temper, Ferguson helped David Gill hide it.

This immediately made David Gill even more grateful to Ferguson, and vowed to repay Ferguson in the future.

Although Ferguson gained David Gill's loyalty through this incident, for Manchester United, he had already lost precious signing time.

In the end, this summer transfer period ended when Manchester United just hastily brought in a South Korean midfielder, Park Ji-sung.

From then on, David Gill hated little fat Louis, the kind who didn't say hello when they met.

But he and Ferguson didn't know until the end, in fact, the idea came from Chen Ran who was far away in China at that time.

London, Arsenal Club, Arsene Wenger's office.

"Boss, Chelsea invested the most in the Premier League transfer market this summer. It has already exceeded [-] million euros. That Russian is really rich."

Assistant coach Pat Rice is also reporting to Wenger on the transfer.

"Where is Crystal Palace? Apart from taking Patrick from us, are there any other signings?"

"I heard that they seem to have competed with Chelsea for Essien, but from the results, Crystal Palace still lost. There is nothing left to do. Oh, yes, they also snatched a high school student from Southampton. .”

"High school student? Tell me about the specific situation."

Hearing this, Wenger immediately became interested.

As a coach known for cultivating young players, Wenger is more interested in these talented little monsters than those famous stars.

"I heard that this young player once represented the school's school team and won a championship in a regional competition. The rest of the situation is not very clear. Boss, do you need to send someone to investigate in detail?"

"Forget it, if it goes into the pocket of that little guy from Huaguo, no one else can get it again."

"It's true. Everyone thought that a large number of key players would be poached from Crystal Palace this summer. It turned out that no player has left Crystal Palace so far. It's a miracle."

Seeing the super stability shown by Crystal Palace, Pat Rice was also amazed.

For an old Jianghu like him, he has seen a lot of newly promoted horses with excellent grades, who are forcibly hollowed out by those wealthy clubs.

Unexpectedly, Crystal Palace turned out to be an alternative.
