Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 2
Selhurst Park is the home stadium of Crystal Palace Club, located in Croydon, South London, and can only accommodate more than 6000 people.

Just like the status of the Crystal Palace Club in London, it is inconspicuous.

The season has not yet started, and it is rare for many reporters to come to the empty stadium today.

"I heard that the Crystal Palace is going to change hands today. Do you know who the new boss is?"

"I don't know, it's kind of mysterious."

"Could it be some foreign mysterious rich man, just like Russia's Abramovich bought Chelsea last month."

"What are you thinking about? Although Chelsea is not a wealthy club, they are still a Premier League club. Crystal Palace is only a Championship team. Which rich man would buy a second-tier league club?"

"That's true. It seems that the new boss has limited financial resources, and today's news may not be strong enough."

"It's all here, just write whatever you want."

Taking advantage of the master's absence, several familiar reporters got together and chatted.

At this time, Chen Ran had brought his two good brothers to the gate of the stadium.

"Uncle Henry, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

Chen Ran had been an intern at the Crystal Palace for three months before, and met Uncle Henry, the gatekeeper.

"Hey, Chen, haven't you finished your internship? Why did you come to the stadium today?"

"I'm here for the press conference."

"What? Are you a football reporter?"

"No, I bought Crystal Palace."

After all, Chen Ran ignored the stunned Uncle Henry and walked straight into the stadium.

At the press conference, the reporters suddenly discovered that the former Chairman of Crystal Palace walked in accompanied by a young man.

It looks like an Asian, is this the new owner of Crystal Palace?Reporters suddenly became a little more interested.

After the announcement of the change of ownership of the Crystal Palace was announced, a small forest suddenly appeared at the press conference, and almost every reporter raised their hands to ask questions.

"Excuse me, Mr. Chen, are you Japanese?"

"I'm from China."

"Why did you buy Crystal Palace Club?"

"Because I like football."

"Forgive me, Huaguo football is very backward. Are you capable of running a British club?"

"Of course, I am very confident. In fact, before buying Crystal Palace Club, I did an internship here for three months. If I am not sure, I will not buy here."

"So that's it. It seems that you came prepared. So what is your goal after you acquire the Crystal Palace club? Are you going to the Premier League?"

"Hehe, it's very simple. I plan to build Crystal Palace into the strongest football club in the world. As for the Premier League, that's just a small goal."

"Oh"

As soon as Chen Ran said this, there was an uproar at the scene.

Even the former chairman of the Crystal Palace who was sitting next to Chen Ran couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

It's nice to be young!

"Since Mr. Chen's ideals are so lofty, why not directly acquire Manchester United, Arsenal or Liverpool? Is it because there is not enough money?"

"I don't buy these clubs because they are already champions. Even if I do well after buying, it's just a few more trophies. People will just say, this guy continues the championship tradition of the team. , did a good job."

"That's not what I want."

"What I want is to create a football dynasty from scratch."

"And it's fitting that Crystal Palace have never won anything of value."

“OMG, Mr. Chen, are you sure what you just said?”

"of course."

After repeatedly confirming Chen Ran's speech, the reporters in the audience seemed to be beaten up.

Today is not in vain, this kid from Huaguo is very cooperative, the news is strong enough.

Louis and Stephen, who stood watching from the sidelines, were covered in cold sweat. As soon as the press conference was over, they immediately protected Chen Ran and rushed out of the encirclement of reporters who were still interested.

"Boss, you are crazy, you will summon many enemies like this."

Louis blushed with anxiety, it was too much of a test for his heart to be with such a boss.

"Scared?" Chen Ran patted Louis on the shoulder and asked back.

"Chen, what do you think?" Stephen was relatively calm.

"What do you think is the status of Crystal Palace in English football?"

"very common."

"What about world football?"

"It's obscurity."

"Yes, many people may not know that there is this team. We will sign a lot of signings, but we are neither wealthy nor can we pay high salaries. We are even only a team in the secondary league."

Having said that, Chen Ran deliberately stopped and looked at his two friends meaningfully.

"Chen, you mean to use these reporters to stir up the reputation of Crystal Palace first?" Stephen responded quickly.

"Smart. Fame is also a kind of wealth. Although in a short period of time, most of these reputations are negative. But as long as we continue to achieve one goal after another in the future, the ridicule now is just a stepping stone on our road to success."

Before Chen Ran's rebirth, the practice of Gou Ziliu's obscene development in online novels was very popular.

However, he didn't want to do that.

Chen Ran thought it through very clearly, he didn't go to the world of fairy tales, he didn't go to the world of fantasy, and he didn't go back to some troubled world, where there is no ubiquitous life and death crisis.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person. He was reborn once in a while, and with the system around him, can't he live a more chic life?
As expected, the Crystal Palace club became popular, and so did Chen Ran.

As long as the English media that reported football, whether it was TV, newspapers or the Internet, without exception, they all focused on the transfer of Crystal Palace, and even some European media also reprinted these reports.

Some media even put Chen Ran's photo on the front page.

"Remember this face, the founder of the football dynasty, the mysterious man from the East."

"Crystal Palace has fallen into the hands of a visionary."

"Confidence or arrogance? It's a psychological question."

"The Premier League is just a small goal."

In the office of the Chairman of the Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran looked at the various reports collected by Louis and Stephen with great interest.

"Tsk tsk, it's not handsome enough."

Looking at his front page photo, Chen Ran expressed dissatisfaction.

"OMG, Chen, now is not the time to talk about photos."

Louis clutched his head, feeling like he had a headache.

"Okay, isn't this all what we expected? And isn't our goal achieved now? When has the Crystal Palace been reported by so many media?"

"That's true. But, Chen, I'm afraid your reputation is over now."

"The strong are always envied by others, just get used to it."

"Come on, now go meet our coaches and players."
