Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 205 They actually agreed to your offer

The goal of Vieira's goal is naturally Ronaldo and Ribery.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who alone made Alan Smith and Gary Neville tormented enough.

Breaking through again and again, making those two guys scurry.

Although Crystal Palace has not scored yet, they have clearly taken the initiative in the game.

At this time, in the VIP box at Old Trafford, several Americans were watching this round of strong dialogue in the Premier League.

Yes, you read that right, a few Americans came to England to watch football matches.

Isn't it funny?

Among them are Tom Hicks and George Gillette, who have just submitted their acquisition intentions to Crystal Palace not long ago.

At this moment, the two were discussing something quietly.

"Tom, can you read a football game?"

"Hell, you can ask me about football, baseball, hockey or basketball, just don't ask me about football."

Tom Hicks glared at George Gillette angrily. It wasn't the first day they knew each other, yet they would ask such substandard questions.

"It seems to me that Crystal Palace has the upper hand. Didn't Avram Glazer brag to us that Manchester United is a veteran and powerful team in the Premier League?"

"Hehe, their family is now the owner of the Manchester United club, so of course they want to brag about their own team." Tom Hicks curled his lips in disdain.

"That's true. It seems that the target we selected this time is very strong. If the acquisition is successful in the future, it will definitely be able to overwhelm the Glazer family."

"That's for sure. Didn't we investigate before we came here? Although Crystal Palace is just a newly emerging team, they have already won the Premier League championship last season. This season, they continue to lead the standings and are very hopeful. champion."

"Well, I now hope that Crystal Palace can continue to win the Premier League championship, but I don't want them to win the championship. If they win the championship again, I don't know how much the purchase price will rise after that."

George Gillette sighed, feeling very conflicted.

"Hehe, do you think it's cheap now? It's not that you haven't seen the reply from Crystal Palace. Their Hua Guo boss made it very clear that there is no need to meet if it is less than one billion pounds."

"That's just a normal negotiation method. First ask for a high price, and then slowly lower it during the negotiation. We are all familiar with this kind of thing."

George Gillette didn't take Chen Ran's offer of one billion pounds seriously. He thought it was just a negotiating method by Chen Ran.

"I actually think that the asking price from the Chinese man is not a joke."

Tom Hicks shook his head, he disagreed with George Gillette's judgment.

"What? Do you think that Huaguo is playing for real? Really want a billion pounds? Is he crazy about money?"

Hearing Tom Hicks' opinion, George Gillette couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Don't worry. Let's do the math. The new stadium that the Crystal Palace is building can accommodate 6 people. It is said that the Chinese has already invested more than [-] million yuan."

"As Crystal Palace has continuously won various championships in the past two seasons, the brand value of the club has also increased rapidly. In addition, the players in the team have increased in value. Didn't we find a professional organization to evaluate it, and it is worth at least four. Billion."

"You stop for a moment. I remember that the evaluation report said that if Crystal Palace wins the Premier League and Champions League titles this season, it will only be worth [-] million."

George Gillette interrupted Tom Hicks to correct him.

"That's right, that's what the report said. But now Crystal Palace is five points ahead of No.2 Chelsea in the Premier League. Counting today's game, there are only five games left. There is great hope of winning the Premier League again."

"And in the UEFA Champions League, Crystal Palace has reached the semi-finals, and there is great hope of competing for the championship. Another point is, don't forget that the Crystal Palace club has also signed a sponsorship contract of hundreds of millions of euros with Emirates."

"In this way, after all the calculations, the Crystal Palace Club is worth [-] to [-] million pounds. So the Chinese man's price of [-] billion pounds is not too outrageous. After all, he still has to leave room for us to bargain, right?"

Hearing this series of analyzes by Tom Hicks, George Gillette still finds it a bit difficult to accept.

"Tom, according to your calculation, wouldn't the price of Crystal Palace be about the same as that of the Glazer family's acquisition of Manchester United, an old British club?"

"I'm afraid it's really similar. George, you have to think about it this way. If Manchester United is now at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, then Crystal Palace is at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. The same price, if you change it, you choose who?"

Tom Hicks made such a comparison, and George Gillette immediately fell silent.

Now anyone who is not a fool can see that the rise of Crystal Palace is unstoppable.

This is also an important reason why the two of them transferred their goals from the original Liverpool to Crystal Palace.

"Then what do you mean, that we accept the Chinese man's offer of one billion pounds?"

George Gillette still asked with some concern.

When he thought of the astronomical figure of one billion pounds, his liver trembled a little.

Others don't know, but George Gillette knows that the combined total assets of him and Tom Hicks are not as much as one billion pounds.

If the acquisition is negotiated, there will be more money to be borrowed.

Those Wall Street wolves are not to be trifled with. If he messes up, he will have no choice but to jump off the building.

"Of course it is impossible to accept this price. But we can agree to it first, and we can talk slowly after seeing that Huaguo person."

"It's almost there."

Hearing Tom Hicks' fairly normal answer, George Gillette was relieved.

George Gillette is less aggressive than Tom Hicks.

Of course, two people are equally greedy.

Otherwise, after seeing the Glazer family win the Manchester United club almost empty-handed by borrowing from Wall Street, they would not rush to the UK together.

Want to copy the method of the Glazer family and also acquire a Premier League club.

"Huh? Crystal Palace scored a goal?"

The two were busy talking, only to find that the Crystal Palace players were gathering to celebrate their goals.

It turned out that after struggling for more than half an hour, Manchester United finally failed to withstand the rounds of bombing by Tony and Jan Kohler. Jan Kohler overwhelmed Sylvester and scored a header. .

"Boss, shrink your defense now?"

After seeing the team taking the lead, Guardiola walked up to Chen Ran and asked.

He still keeps in mind the schedule of the Crystal Palace, and there will be three games in five days. It is good to save a little energy.

"It's a bit too early to shrink the formation now. It's better to score another goal and it's safer to wait until the second half of the game."

"Okay, boss."

Chen Ran understands Guardiola's concerns, and he himself is calculating the physical consumption of the Crystal Palace players.

It's just that Manchester United are not those weak teams after all. If Crystal Palace gives up the initiative of the game too early, Chen Ran is worried that it will be counterproductive.

Under the continuous attack of Crystal Palace, Manchester United was exhausted defensively.Only relying on a few counterattacks from Giggs on the left was a slight threat to the goal guarded by Cech.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the score on the field was still 1-0 ahead of Manchester United.

During the intermission, Chen Ran did not make any adjustments.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Crystal Palace continued to attack.It's just that Ferguson adjusted his deployment during the intermission and strengthened Manchester United's defense, so that Crystal Palace has never been able to score a second goal.

When the game progressed to 10 minutes, Chen Ran turned around and called Guardiola over.

"Josep, go and notify Mascherano, and Jan Kohler will be replaced later."

"clear."

Hearing Chen Ran's order, Guardiola immediately knew that Chen Ran was going to shrink his defense.

Soon, Mascherano's warm-up was over, and Chen Ran called him to his side.

"Javier, after you go up, you will form a three-back midfielder with Vieira and Yaya Toure. Then inform the others that the team will now switch to defensive tactics. Understand?"

"Understood, boss, don't worry."

As soon as Crystal Palace made a substitution, Ferguson immediately discovered Chen Ran's intentions.

As expected, this Huaguo boy was still the same way, thinking about shrinking his defense as soon as he took the lead.

But this is also good, it just allows their players to take a breather, and then it is time for Manchester United to attack.

With the active contraction of the Crystal Palace, Manchester United can finally come out to breathe fresh air after being aggrieved for most of the game.

The situation on the court has also undergone fundamental changes.

From the previous Crystal Palace attacking, Manchester United defending; it became Manchester United attacking, Crystal Palace defending.

Seeing this scene, Tom Hicks and George Gillette in the VIP box were at a loss.

Crystal Palace still had the advantage on the field just now, why did the form reverse after changing individuals?

Could it be the head coach's substitution error?
Should not be ah.

The head coach is the Huaguo boss of Crystal Palace, and it was he who brought Crystal Palace, an unknown English Championship team, to the Premier League championship.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, right?

Tom Hicks and George Gillette, who couldn't figure it out, looked at the football consultant Rodriguez who was sitting on the side at the same time.

Both Tom Hicks and George Gillette don't understand football, but they want to buy a football club. Naturally, they need a knowledgeable person to help them make suggestions.

"Alexis, why has the situation in Crystal Palace changed so much? Could it be that there was a problem with the substitution just now?" Tom Hicks directly asked his question.

Seeing the two bosses looking at him at the same time, Rodriguez took out a copy of Crystal Palace's upcoming schedule from his pocket and handed them to them.

"This is the schedule of Crystal Palace for the next period of time. I think this may be an important reason why the head coach of Crystal Palace actively shrinks the formation and plays a defensive counterattack."

"hiss!"

Even football laymen, but when Tom Hicks and George Gillette saw this Crystal Palace schedule, they couldn't help but gasp.

"Alexis, is this schedule real?"

George Gillette couldn't believe his eyes, it was too dense, would it be exhausting to kick like this?

"It's true, Mr. Gillette. That's why the head coach of Crystal Palace adopted a more energy-saving tactical play after taking the lead."

After listening to Rodriguez's explanation, George Gillette raised the Crystal Palace schedule in his hand, and whispered in Tom Hicks' ear:

"Tom, do you still think Crystal Palace can win the Premier League and Champions League this season?"

"Ahem, George, even if Crystal Palace fails to win the Premier League and Champions League titles this season, it is not a bad thing for us."

Although Tom Hicks was also shocked by the severity of the Crystal Palace schedule, he quickly regained his composure.

"You mean, this will help us bargain with that Chinese man?"

George Gillette is not an idiot either, he immediately reacted.

"That's right. If Crystal Palace can win the Premier League title and the Champions League title this season, then its value will increase rapidly. Although this will make it difficult for us to bargain, it is a good thing after all."

"If Crystal Palace fails to win these two championships, or only wins one of them, this will give us a bargaining chip when negotiating. Therefore, whether Crystal Palace can win the championship or not, it will actually affect us. Not big."

Just as Tom Hicks and George Gillette were discussing how to deal with the changes in the Crystal Palace in the VIP box, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Crystal Palace beat Manchester United 1:0.

Crystal Palace finally took three points away at Old Trafford thanks to Jan Kohler's goal.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game, and I will be rewarded with a 'Level [-] Blood Recovery Card'."

It's really timely rain, the system is really considerate.

What Chen Ran is most worried about now is the physical condition of the Crystal Palace players. Now that he has an extra "Level [-] Recovery Card", this allows him to at least ensure that one of the main players has sufficient physical fitness at critical moments.

After the game, Chen Ran immediately led the team back to London.

Because just one day later, another Premier League game is waiting for him and Crystal Palace.

Who knew that when Chen Ran arrived at the Crystal Palace Club the next day, he saw Stephen mysteriously coming to his office again.

Likewise, he locked the door after he came in.

"What's the matter? Did the two Americans reply?"

Seeing Stephen's abnormal behavior as last time, Chen Ran immediately realized what it was.

"That's right. Those two Americans called back. I can't believe they agreed to your billion-pound offer."

At the end, even Stephen, who had always been relatively calm, couldn't help being a little excited, and his voice became high-pitched.
