Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 214 I have a lot of money, it depends on whether you have the ability to take it away

Thousands of miles away in China, the fans of Crystal Palace are also cheering for the team's consecutive Premier League title.For several days in a row, the popularity of Crystal Palace's post bar has remained high.

"We are champions, we are champions, Crystal Palace are Premier League champions!"

"Come and see, there's another crazy one upstairs."

"That's right, it's too hopeless. Isn't it the Premier League title? It's not like I haven't won it yet. Our goal for Crystal Palace this season is the Triple Crown!"

"Good guy, you are going crazy upstairs too. Isn't your tone too loud?"

"What do you mean I am arrogant? Didn't you read the news? That guy Chen Ran also set his goal to win the Triple Crown. Moreover, he also offered a bonus of 1000 million euros for the Triple Crown."

"I've seen the news too, and it's true. It can only be said that rich people are self-willed. They really don't take money as money."

"I don't think it's anything. If 1000 million euros can be exchanged for the Triple Crown, I think it's earned."

"That's right. Don't mention anything else, the prize money for the Champions League alone is tens of millions of euros. It's really nothing to spend 1000 million euros to reward players."

"I haven't heard of any team that won the Champions League before, giving players so much bonus."

"That only shows that the owners of those clubs are too stingy."

"Haha, that's a good point. It's better for us, Chen Ran, to do things generously, so that we can do great things. We are optimistic about Crystal Palace winning the Triple Crown."

"Looking good +1."

"Looking good +2."

After the phonegate incident in Italy broke out, it has become more and more serious.But in England, which is far away from the European continent, the singing and dancing continued without any influence.

On May 5, the final round of the Premier League will be held at the same time.However, since the league championship has been taken away by Crystal Palace in advance, the attractiveness and popularity have dropped significantly compared to the previous round.

Crystal Palace's last league game is away to Aston Villa, and a week later, Crystal Palace will compete with Chelsea for the FA Cup.

In order for the main players who had just finished the Devil's schedule to recuperate, Chen Ran sent all the substitutes for the game against Aston Villa.Moreover, he also handed over the command of the game to Guardiola.

Aston Villa is now ranked fourth from the bottom in the standings, on the edge of the relegation zone, and there is still the possibility of relegation.

So in this last round of the league, although they are facing this season's Premier League champion Crystal Palace, the entire Aston Villa team can be said to have tried their best.

In the end, with a penalty kick, Aston Villa unexpectedly defeated the league champion Crystal Palace at home.

While successfully retaining the qualifications for the Premier League, it also broke Crystal Palace's undefeated gold in the Premier League this season.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I made Crystal Palace lose face."

As soon as the game was over, Guardiola took the initiative to find Chen Ran to apologize.

Crystal Palace could have gone undefeated to win the Premier League and end a perfect season, but he messed it up.

"It's okay, I decided to use all substitute players for this game. The responsibility lies with me. Don't take it to heart."

Chen Ran patted Guardiola's shoulder, and comforted the assistant who took the blame for him with a pleasant face, without any intention of getting angry.

"thank you boss."

Seeing that Chen Ran didn't blame himself, Guardiola was also relieved.Fortunately, the boss is generous, it seems that I still have a lot to learn.

So far, the 2005-2006 Premier League season is all over.

With a record of 38 wins, three draws and one loss in 34 games and [-] points, Crystal Palace created the record for the highest score in the history of the Premier League and won the Premier League championship this season.

Chelsea also set the tragic record of No.2 with the highest points in the Premier League with [-] points.

Manchester United ranked third with 83 points, Liverpool was only one point behind and ranked fourth, while Arsenal ranked fifth with 65 points and lost their qualifications to participate in the Champions League next season.

Although the Premier League is over, Chen Ran and his Crystal Palace can't take a holiday, because there are still two important games waiting for them.

On May 5, in the FA Cup final, Crystal Palace will face their old rival Chelsea at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

On May 5, the Champions League final, Crystal Palace will face Spanish giants Barcelona at the Stade de France in Paris, France.

While Chen Ran was leading the Crystal Palace to prepare for the two finals, more and more news broke out from Italy.

And Louis, who has been keeping an eye on this matter, is also reporting the latest developments to Chen Ran at any time.

On May 5, Carraro, the president of the Italian Football Federation, resigned, and then the vice-president Mazzini also resigned.

Immediately afterwards, the four major procuratorates of Naples, Rome, and Turin began to intervene in the investigation of the case.

On May 5, the Juventus club officially issued a statement: announcing the collective resignation of the Juventus board of directors.

On May 5, the referee DeSantis involved in the case was disqualified from refereeing the World Cup.

Soon, AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and other clubs were suspected of match-fixing.

Just as the melon in Italy is getting more and more delicious, the FA Cup final between Crystal Palace and Chelsea is about to begin.

For important games, Chen Ran has always arranged for Guardiola to edit and analyze the opponent's game videos.

This time was no exception. After watching the video with his three assistants, Chen Ran looked at the three of them again.

"Let's talk about it, how do we play this game?"

With a "swipe", Southgate and Simeone looked at Guardiola in unison.

"What are you doing? Why am I the first to speak?"

Guardiola quit now, he can't always bully honest people.

"Because you edited this video, you have watched it many times, and you must have thought about it in advance if you have any questions. But we have only watched it once, and we need time to think about it. So it is not very good for you to say first. Is it normal?"

Southgate was so eloquent at this time that Guardiola was speechless.

"Okay, let me talk about it first. Boss, I have watched a lot of Chelsea game videos, and I feel that their strength is really strong, and there are almost no loopholes."

"If I had to pick a fault, it would be that their full-backs are a little bit weaker than other positions."

"That's right. Boss, I also agree with Josep's opinion. The gap between Chelsea's left-back Del Horno was quite obvious, but recently Mourinho sent William Gallas to play left-back After that, at least defensively, there are no holes."

At this time Simeone also stood up and expressed his views.

"Then the only weakness left is Chelsea's right back Paulo Ferreira. In fact, it can't be said to be a weakness, but his strength is not outstanding enough. Compared with his teammates, he seems relatively mediocre."

Southgate also added a little bit, and then the three of them turned their attention to Chen Ran.

"That's very good. Paulo Ferreira's position is exactly opposite to Ronaldo's. When you come back and arrange tactics for the players, remember to let them attack from the left more often."

"Okay, boss."

After the last round of Premier League rotation, Crystal Palace's main players have been fully rested.

Therefore, Chen Ran didn't have any worries. He lined up his entire main lineup, adopted Guardiola's tactics, and prepared to suppress Chelsea from the very beginning.

On Chelsea's side, after losing the Premier League title again, Mourinho's position is already in jeopardy.

For this reason, Chelsea's CEO Peter Kenyon also specifically found Mourinho for a talk.

"Jose, the boss is very dissatisfied with Chelsea's failure to win a significant championship this season. You must snatch the next FA Cup from Crystal Palace, so that I can help you speak in front of the boss."

"Thank you, Peter. Needless to say, I will never let Crystal Palace take away this FA Cup."

"That's good. However, Jose, I still want to remind you that if you don't win the FA Cup, the boss may end your contract early. You must be mentally prepared."

"I see."

Mourinho nodded slightly, feeling a little depressed.

Peter Kenyon's words are straightforward enough. If Chelsea can beat Crystal Palace to win the FA Cup, then he may still have a chance.

Otherwise, he may be kicked out by the boss Abramovich.

Mourinho, who has a full understanding of his situation, naturally wants to do his best to make the last fight. He is not willing to be driven away as a loser.

Still the same sentence, even if you want to leave, you have to walk with your head held high after winning the championship.

On the day of the game, the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was packed.

Crystal Palace and Chelsea, the two teams in London, have gradually become rivals in the same city, from the Premier League championship to the FA Cup championship.

And the fans of the two teams happened to gather at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff today. The two sides refused to give in to each other, and the scene was quite hot.

Fortunately, the British police have already accumulated a wealth of experience in handling such things, and separated the fans from both sides in time, which prevented things from developing in a bad direction.

Before the game, the Crystal Palace dressing room.

Chen Ran wrote down a formula on the tactical whiteboard: () + () + () = 1000 million euros!

Immediately, he filled in "Premier League Champion" in the first bracket.

He then held the whiteboard in front of all Crystal Palace players and smiled at them.

"Who can tell me what should be written in the second bracket?"

"Boss, is he the FA Cup champion?"

Cristiano Ronaldo, the most active player in the Crystal Palace team, was the first to answer with his right hand raised high.

"Haha, that's right, Chris is still smart, and he is the FA Cup champion."

"Guys, let's not talk nonsense, the goals you pursue in football aren't the two things 'honor' and 'money'?"

"Now, these two things are in front of you. Whether you can get them depends on your own performance. Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

"must have!"

"The champion belongs to Crystal Palace!"

"Boss, just prepare the banknotes, and don't be reluctant when the time comes."

"Hahaha"

"Get out! I have a lot of money, it depends on whether you have the ability to take it away!"

With a little trick, the Crystal Palace players were all screaming, wishing that the game would start immediately.

Standing next to Chen Ran, Guardiola also looked at his boss with admiration, secretly delighted, and learned another trick.

Finally, with the whistle of the referee, the final of the 2005-2006 England FA Cup officially began.

As soon as the ball kicked off, Crystal Palace pressed all the way, looking like they wanted to eat Chelsea in one bite, which surprised the Chelsea players.

Due to the intensive schedule, Chen Ran has not used Guardiola's oppressive tactics that consume energy for a long time.

The plan that Mourinho arranged for his players before the game was also formulated for the twin tower tactics and defensive counterattacks commonly used by Crystal Palace during this period.

This time, Chen Ran caught Mourinho by surprise, so Mourinho had to temporarily adjust his tactics and shrink his formation, first to push back the opening offensive of Crystal Palace.

However, Chen Ran used Guardiola's offensive tactics in this game. What he paid attention to was to press the opponent within the half-court, repeatedly pull the opponent's defense line through high-position pressing, pass and cut cooperation, and wait for the opponent to show his flaws.

Therefore, once Chelsea retreats, it will be difficult to push it out.

According to the plan formulated before the game, although the Crystal Palace players continued to pull and mobilize Chelsea's defense through transfers, the last pass of the attack was often launched from the left.

No.30 In the second minute, when the ball came to Ronaldo's feet again, he took the ball and rushed along the left line. Although Paulo Ferreira couldn't keep up with his fellow Portuguese, he still dutifully followed behind C. By Luo's side, I dare not be careless.

Running and running, Ronaldo suddenly played a heel dribble, shaking Paul Ferreira so that he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Then Ronaldo quickly cut in with the ball, and then made another deep-fried ball, and once again swayed Essien who rushed to defend.

Looking up at Cudicini's position, Ronaldo raised his foot and volleyed vigorously before his fellow Portuguese Carvalho came up to block.

This shot was so powerful that the ball barely spun, and it just flew towards Chelsea's goal flickeringly.
