Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 260 Life is like a play, play is like life

For foreigners who don't know the situation, it seems that Ferguson is considered a British nobleman when he was knighted by the Queen of England.

In fact, it is not what many foreigners imagined. Ferguson actually just won a second-class knighthood KBE.This is just a badge of honor, not aristocratic, let alone hereditary.

It can't be compared with the hereditary marquis like the Marquis of Bath who has been passed down for hundreds of years and has his own fiefdom.

Now, when Ferguson saw the photo of the Marquis of Bath and Chen Ran, he seemed to understand why there was such a huge contrast overnight.

If the Marquis of Bath really made the move, then it would make sense for those media to choose not to support themselves.

But, is this the end of the matter?

He was a majestic jazz of the British Empire, and was slapped in the face by a kid from China.If he just swallowed his anger, how can Ferguson play in English football in the future?
If that's the case, I don't know how many people will laugh at him behind his back.

At the thought of this scene, Ferguson's whole body trembled.

I must not be reduced to this point, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him.

For a moment, Ferguson couldn't help regretting why he let his son attack Galaxy Football Group.

"David, do you have any way to solve the problem in front of you?"

Seeing David Gill sitting in front of him without saying a word, Ferguson asked in a hurry.

"There is a way, but I don't know if you can accept it?"

David Gill hesitated for a moment. Originally, he didn't really want to get involved in this matter.

After all, the result of this matter is already obvious. With the support of the Marquis of Bath, the Chinese man is now sure to win.

It is certain that Ferguson's reputation will be damaged, but the degree depends entirely on Chen Ran's mood.

If it is serious, it is not impossible for Ferguson to be ruined.

After all, Ferguson has been in charge of Manchester United for so many years, and his hands and feet are not so clean.

Especially for his son who is a football agent, many transfers are unclear and cannot withstand investigation at all.

But David Gill thought about his current situation. Ever since the Glazer family took over Manchester United, they have completely disregarded the club's development and acted arbitrarily, allocating all of Manchester United's funds to pay off their debts.

That is because Ferguson is in charge, and the Glazers are still a little scrupulous about doing things.

If Ferguson really ruined his reputation and left Manchester United, he would not be able to stop the Glazers and his sons from messing around, and maybe even himself would be kicked out by the Glazers.

Thinking of this, David Gill felt that he could not stand by and watch this matter.

At least for now, he needs Ferguson to fend off the Glazers.

So, after a little hesitation, David Gill gave Ferguson an idea.

"Whatever you can do, just say it."

Ferguson is also a bit confused now, hearing that David Gill has a solution is like grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Actually, the solution is very simple. You can go to the Huaguo person to make peace in private, and then let him refute the rumors for you. As long as Chen Ran is willing to come forward to refute the rumors, the others will naturally have nothing to say."

After hearing David Gill's method, Ferguson stopped talking immediately.

What peace?
It was nothing more than David Gill caring about his face, in fact he was apologizing.

David Gill understood what he meant after a little bit of Ferguson. No wonder David Gill first asked himself if he could accept it.

For Ferguson, an old world, although face is very important, it is not so important compared to ruin.

Not to mention making peace in private, Ferguson has actually secretly accepted this method in his heart.

After all, this may be the only way to solve the crisis at present.

However, Ferguson was still worried, so he asked David Gill for advice.

"David, even if I am willing to make peace, will that Chinese man agree? After all, Chen Ran is young, so he will inevitably be young and energetic. He has the upper hand now, and there are people behind him. I am worried that he will not let him go."

As soon as he heard Ferguson's tone, David Gill knew that Ferguson had accepted his method.He smiled and waved his hand, signaling Ferguson not to worry.

"Alex, this Chen Ran is not an ordinary young man, you can't judge his behavior according to his age."

"Think about it, at his age, who can lead an unknown secondary league team to so many championships?"

"Will the person who can achieve such brilliant results be a person who makes decisions purely according to his own preferences?"

Seeing that Ferguson, who has always been in command, now needs to be reminded of such a simple truth, David Gill fully understands what is meant by "things that have nothing to do with himself, and chaos will follow".

Hearing David Gill's analysis, Ferguson finally had the bottom line.

After he calmed down, his mind immediately cleared up a lot.

"David, you mean that even if Chen Ran doesn't want to, he will make peace with me in the end, right?"

"That's right. This is England after all. If he, a Chinese, refuses to forgive you, an Englishman, his life in English football will not be easy in the future."

"Even with the support of the Marquis of Bath, others dare not attack him openly, but there are too many methods that can be used behind the scenes."

"And if he is willing to make peace with you, then he will have you as an important friend in English football in the future. I believe that Chen Ran can clearly distinguish which is more important."

Now that he decided to help Ferguson, David Gill did his best to help Ferguson break down the problem and analyze it thoroughly.

"That makes sense. David, you have a very good point."

As long as you are not a fool, you will know what to do after hearing David Gill's analysis.

"David, thank you so much this time."

Ferguson patted David Gill's shoulder gratefully. His partner was reliable at critical moments.

At this time, Ferguson didn't know that the partner in front of him was a real boss.

In his previous life, David Gill went from an accountant to the financial director of the Manchester United club, then vice president, managing director, and CEO.

He also served as the vice chairman of G14, member of the board of directors of the FA, member of the board of the European Club Association, vice chairman of the FA, UEFA executive committee, chairman of the UEFA club qualification committee, and vice chairman of FIFA.

If you don't count the results of leading the team and only compare the positions, Ferguson, the head coach of the Manchester United club, is not worth mentioning compared to David Gill.

While Ferguson and David Gill were discussing countermeasures, Fatty and Stephen were also discussing this issue with Chen Ran in the Crystal Palace club.

"Chen, we are firmly in the upper hand now, and it depends on how you plan to deal with Ferguson?"

Seeing that the whole situation was in his hands, the little fat man was also flushed with high spirits.As long as Chen Ran gave an order, he swung his knife and asked to beheaded.

"Chen, after Ferguson and the former Manchester United boss Manier fell out over the horse race, Manier once claimed that he had evidence of Ferguson's dirty hands and feet in player transactions."

"He only announced the American goalkeeper Howard at that time, and Ferguson rushed to reach an out-of-court settlement with him. I think if necessary, we can go to Manier for these evidences. I believe he must be very happy to see Ferguson. Unlucky look."

Compared with the bluffing of the little fat man, Stephen didn't make a move, and when he made a move, he went directly to Ferguson's vital point, which can be said to be steady and ruthless.

"Don't worry, let's see how Ferguson reacts before deciding on the next move."

"What? Chen, everything is in our favor now, and it's a good time to take advantage of the victory. If it drags on, if Ferguson finds someone with more energy than Stephen's father to come forward, it will be troublesome."

Hearing that Chen Ran had to wait for Ferguson's reaction, the little fat man became impatient.

In fact, what the little fat man said was not unreasonable, and what he was worried about was not impossible.

"Chen, don't you plan to make things right?"

Stephen understood Chen Ran's intentions, and asked thoughtfully.

"That's right. This is England after all. If I, a foreigner, refuse to let Ferguson, an old coach with a high status in English football, what will other British people think?"

"Although I have your father's backing now, these people dare not deal with me on the surface, but they are hard to guard against their secret tricks. I can't bother your father with everything, can I?"

"So, if Ferguson is willing to take the initiative to apologize and give in, then I plan to forgive him. After all, we will continue to play football in England in the future. One more friend is better than a bunch of enemies."

"Indeed. Chen, your choice is the most suitable."

After listening to Chen Ran's analysis, Stephen also agreed.

As an authentic Englishman, he knew very well that Chen Ran's concerns were not only necessary, but very likely to happen.

"Ah? Is this the case? Isn't this too cheap for Ferguson?"

Seeing that Chen Ran and Stephen had the same opinion, the little fat man was dumbfounded.

What he expected, the drama of personally pulling a football godfather from the altar, just died down before it was staged.

"Hehe, Louis, don't worry, when did you see me suffer?"

Chen Ran patted the little fat man who was a little out of spirits, and smiled very brightly.

Seeing Chen Ran's smile, the little fat man's heart suddenly tightened. Every time Chen Ran smiled like this, someone was about to be unlucky.

Without making Chen Ran wait too long, Stephen soon received a call from Manchester United CEO David Gill.

The meaning is roughly to ask if Chen Ran has time, and Sir Alex Ferguson wants to communicate with the current messy news from the outside world.

Damn, the British are really hypocritical.

Hearing Stephen's report, Chen Ran curled his lips secretly, apologizing at the door can also be called communication, which is indeed very British.

However, Chen Ran still agreed to meet with Ferguson.However, he put forward a small condition, that is, he hoped that David Gill would accompany Ferguson to the Crystal Palace.

When David Gill and Ferguson received Stephen's reply, they both froze for a moment and glanced at each other.

What does it mean?He even wanted David Gill to follow him.

how?Does that guy Chen Ran think that Ferguson's apology alone is not enough?
"David, what do you mean that Chen Ran insists on going with you?"

Ferguson is now very troubled by Chen Ran. This guy doesn't play cards according to common sense at all, and he flips the table at every turn, making him, an old Jiang Hu, not sure what this guy wants to do.

"I can't guess it either. However, I was going to accompany you to the Crystal Palace, and I'll know when the time comes."

David Gill was very interested in Chen Ran's unreasonable playing of cards.It is also a pleasure to meet an unpredictable opponent rarely.

When Ferguson came to the Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran personally took Stephen and Louis to the door to greet him.

No matter what happened, Chen Ran still did not neglect the etiquette of the seniors and elders.

This relieved Ferguson, who had made the worst psychological preparations for this meeting, at least this Chen Ran didn't seem as arrogant as expected.

It also made Ferguson's impression of Chen Ran much better.

This time there were three people who came to the Crystal Palace Club, Ferguson, David Gill and Ferguson's second son, Jason Ferguson.

The arrival of Ferguson and David Gill was expected, but the inexplicable appearance of Jason Ferguson is a bit intriguing.

Chen Ran and Stephen looked at each other, but already had a preliminary judgment in their hearts.

It seems that this Jason Ferguson is today's scapegoat.

As expected, the matter was just as Chen Ran judged, and Ferguson blamed his son for everything.

It is said that Jason Ferguson was angry after seeing Manchester United's 1:4 defeat to Crystal Palace, so he secretly contacted some media under the banner of Ferguson to attack Chen Ran's Galaxy Football Group.

Then Jason Ferguson bowed and apologized to Chen Ran sincerely, hoping to get Chen Ran's forgiveness.

Seeing Jason Ferguson's serious attitude, expressive and almost tearful performance, Chen Ran couldn't help feeling a little inexplicably absurd.

This scene reminded him of a very famous TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" that he had watched in his previous life.

After Yongzheng's death, Zhen Huan became the queen mother, and the scene when the new emperor's concubine came to see Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan sat there quietly watching the concubine perform seriously.

Chen Ran is feeling that way now.

I knew it was fake, but I still had to read it, and then I had to treat it as real.

At this moment, Chen Ran truly realized what it means to "life is like a play, and play is like life".
