Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 271 Another Flickering Lame

As the fans feared, Crystal Palace's upcoming schedule is very difficult.

Although under Chen Ran's careful arrangement, Crystal Palace has given up the FA Cup and League Cup, but the devil's schedule is still inevitable.

On April 4, in the first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Crystal Palace will host Bayern Munich at home;

On April 4th, in the No.14 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace is going to challenge Charlton away;
On April 4th, in the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Crystal Palace will go to Germany to challenge Bayern Munich;

On April 4th, in the No.19 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Fulham at home;
On April 4st, in the fifth round of No.21 of the Premier League, Crystal Palace is going to challenge Bolton away;
On April 4, the first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final will start again;

On April 4th, in the No.28 sixth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Newcastle United at home;

On May 5, the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals will start again;
On May 5, in the No.5 seventh round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Watford at home.

In addition to the last round of the Premier League and the final of the Champions League, Crystal Palace will play nine games in 25 days.

The average game is less than three days, which also includes a lot of away games, which is a huge test for the physical fitness of the Crystal Palace players.

Coupled with the absence of the core midfielder Vieira due to injury, Chen Ran has much less room for adjustment.

And compared with last season, Crystal Palace now has a very small lead in the Premier League.Leading Manchester United by two points and Chelsea by three points is just a matter of one game, which has also put a lot of pressure on Crystal Palace this year.

As usual, Chen Ran called his three assistants together to discuss countermeasures.

"Old rules, tell me what you think after reading it."

Chen Ran handed Guardiola and the three of Crystal Palace's next schedule, but after waiting for a long time, no one spoke, even Guardiola, who has always had the most ideas, was silent this time.

"Ahem, what's the matter? Are you all dumb? Josep, you have the most ideas, let me talk about yours first."

Seeing the three guys sitting there pretending to be dead, Chen Ran had no choice but to call the roll himself.

"Boss, our lead this season is too small. There is no room for adjustment. Every game must be won. There is really nothing to say."

Guardiola spread his arms and looked at Chen Ran with a wry smile.

Of course Chen Ran knew that Guardiola was telling the truth, but there was still a lot to do.

"Diego, Gareth, you have all seen our current situation. Crystal Palace's next schedule is too dense, and Vieira is injured and absent. You two must be prepared. In individual games, I will put You guys are in the starting lineup, understand?"

"Understood, boss, I can play anytime."

"Boss, don't worry, I'm in good shape."

After hearing Chen Ran's order, Simeone and Southgate immediately stood up and said that they were fine, and Southgate even showed off his muscles.

For Vieira's absence, Chen Ran has already prepared a contingency plan, which is to use the "first-level chicken blood card" for Simeone when needed.

After all, Simeone, who is at his peak, is also a powerful fighter.

"Josep, take the time to edit the video of Bayern Munich's game. I will use it in the preparation meeting before the game."

"Okay, boss."

While Chen Ran was having a small meeting with Guardiola, Ibrahimovic quietly walked into Chen Ran's office.

Chen Ran and the others just finished the meeting. When the three of Guardiola opened the door and were about to leave, they found Ibrahimovic standing at the door.

"Huh? Zlatan, are you here to find the boss?"

"Yes, Mr. Guardiola."

"Oh, then go in quickly, the boss is inside."

"OK, thanks."

Hearing the voice at the door, Chen Ran also turned his head and looked over.

"It's Zlatan, come in, what's the matter?"

Ibrahimovic didn't answer Chen Ran's question first, but waited until the three of Guardiola and the others left, turned around and closed the door.

"Ahem, boss, I'm actually here to apologize to you."

"Sorry? Oh, are you talking about Ronaldo? It's okay, your doubts are normal, and I would think the same way. You sit down and talk first, you are too tall, I have to look up Talking to you is too tiring."

Ibrahimovic questioned his actions before, but Chen Ran didn't take it to heart.

Through Ibrahimovic's questioning this time, Chen Ran once again demonstrated his extraordinary ability. He pretended to be an X in front of the players and coaches of the Crystal Palace, and further consolidated his strength in the Crystal Palace club. own authority.

Such a good thing, Chen Ran wished to come a few more times, he naturally would not have any objection to Ibrahimovic who was assisting from the side.

"Okay, boss."

Hearing what Chen Ran said, Ibrahimovic hurried to the sofa and sat down.

Rubbing his hands together, Ibrahimovic, who always had his eyes above the top, had a rare expression of embarrassment on his face.

"Boss, I want to ask when my state will have the peak period like Chris, and the downturn period after that."

After hesitating for a while, Ibrahimovic still expressed his doubts.

Since Ronaldo showed an extraordinary state in the last game, Ibrahimovic no longer doubts Chen Ran's magical ability to accurately grasp the player's state.

What followed was that he became very interested in the ups and downs of his own state.

Although Ronaldo showed that he didn't like the violent ups and downs of the state, but for Ibrahimovic, who had never experienced it, he was full of strong curiosity about this kind of thing.

He also wanted to experience what it was like to be in the peak state of gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas.

As the old saying goes, what you don't get is the best.

Hearing Ibrahimovic's words, Chen Ran was a little dumbfounded. This guy came to him for this matter?

There are still people who are eager to use the "first-level chicken blood card" for him?

Doesn't he know that after using the "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card" there will be three shitty side effects?

"Zlatan, it's not necessarily a good thing to be at the peak, and then there is a period of slump after that. Didn't you see that Chris was not happy even if he scored a hat trick?"

"I know, boss. But I haven't experienced what my peak is like. I want to see what heights I can reach?"

It turned out to be the case, Chen Ran nodded slowly, he probably understood what Zlatan Ibrahimovic was thinking, and he wanted to test his upper limit.

It seems that Zlatan Ibrahimovic's brain is indeed very smart. Although he didn't know the existence of the "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card", he was very keen to use the effect of the "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card" to test his own strength. The ability is really powerful.

"I see, I know."

Speaking of this, Chen Ran paused for a moment, and handed over the Crystal Palace schedule that he had just used in the meeting with Guardiola and the others to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Then pointed to the column "April 4, UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg" column and said to Ibrahimovic:
"Zlatan, I will try to adjust your peak state to this game. Even if there is a downturn of three games, you can catch up with the last round of the Premier League and the final of the Champions League."

"Boss, can you still adjust the specific time when my peak state appears?"

This time, Chen Ran's words completely shocked Ibrahimovic.

He stared at Chen Ran with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

At this time, Ibrahimovic had only one thought in his mind: the guy in front of him must have mastered the legendary oriental witchcraft, right?

"Ahem, this is just a little skill of mine. Be careful to keep it secret. Don't talk nonsense when you go outside."

"Oh, yes, yes. Boss, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."

Hearing Chen Ran's instructions, Ibrahimovic nodded in haste.

Now in his heart, besides being an outstanding coach, Chen Ran also has a layer of mystery.

Coupled with the fact that Chen Ran was able to predict the "Italia Telephone Gate" a year in advance, Ibrahimovic felt that Chen Ran was unfathomable.

Looking at Ibrahimovic who left his office respectfully, Chen Ran touched his nose dumbfounded. It seemed that he couldn't turn back on the road of deceit.

After Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic also showed signs of being limped by him.

I really didn't want to fool them!
Ibrahimovic, who returned to his home, couldn't wait to call his agent Mino Raiola home to share his big discovery today.

As for the matter that he promised Chen Ran not to go outside and talk nonsense, he had long since left it behind.

After all, how could it be nonsense to tell your agent?

"Zlatan, is there anything you can't say on the phone? My plane is going back to Italy in three hours. If you have anything to say, hurry up."

Raiola complained non-stop once he walked in the door.

Ibrahimovic is not the only player under his banner, and now it has entered the end of the major European leagues. Players who want to change teams during the summer transfer period have already begun to look for their next home.

As a well-known agent, Raiola has many players under his banner, and it is time for him to be very busy.That is to say, Ibrahimovic is his signature player, so he came here because of a phone call to change the schedule.

"Mino, this matter is very important, and it is worth your trip."

Ibrahimovic looked down at Raiola, who only reached his shoulder, with a very serious expression.

"Okay, tell me, I'll listen carefully."

Seeing that Ibrahimovic was not joking, Raiola also sat down on the sofa honestly and stopped complaining.

Then, Ibrahimovic told Raiola about Chen Ran's ability to accurately control the ups and downs of the player's state.

"Really? Zlatan, you are not lying to me, are you?"

Raiola looked at Ibrahimovic suspiciously, then looked at his watch and muttered: "April Fool's Day is over."

"Ahem, Mino, I'm not joking, what I said is true. Not only me, but all the players and coaches of Crystal Palace are witnesses."

"Really? That Huaguo can really control the ups and downs of the players?"

"That's right." Ibrahimovic nodded emphatically, "And at my request, the boss also agreed to adjust my peak state to 'April 4, the first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final. 'among."

"OMG! That Huaguo can accurately specify the status of a certain game? Is he the god of football?"

Raiola felt that he was going crazy today, and what Ibrahimovic told him was too unbelievable.

Is this something a human can do?

"I also find it unbelievable, but it really happened to Cristiano Ronaldo. And according to them, this is not the first time, but I have not joined Crystal Palace before."

"It's no wonder that the Chinese man was able to bring Crystal Palace, an unknown English championship team, to where it is today. It turns out that he has this unique skill."

While muttering, Raiola rubbed his plump chin, his small eyes rolled around.

As an excellent football agent, he is very keenly aware of the business opportunities here.

If he handed over his favorite players to Chen Ran to train them well, and then performed particularly well in some key matches, then it would be much easier to resell them at a high price later.

The more Raiola thought about it, the more he felt that this operation was feasible. Thinking of this, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called his nephew and assistant.

"Vincenzo, cancel the flight ticket back to Italy today. Yes, I have something to do."

Watching Raiola hang up the phone, Ibrahimovic asked curiously.

"Mino, don't you have something to go back to Italy? Why don't you leave?"

"Haha, Zlatan, the news you told me today is too important, I plan to talk to your boss."

"Find my boss? Mino, do you want to talk to him about what I just said?"

"Yes, this is a good business opportunity. I want to see if I can convince your boss to cooperate with me."

"Ahem, Mino, the boss told me not to talk nonsense outside, won't I reveal my truth when you go to him?"

"Haha, Zlatan, if I can bring him big bucks, do you think he'll care about these little things? Maybe he'll thank you for telling me."

Raiola reached out and patted Ibrahimovic on the shoulder excitedly, and the wonderful scene of him and Chen Ran counting money together appeared in his mind.
