Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 275 Empty Gloves White Wolf

The UEFA Champions League match against Bayern Munich took place on the night of April 4. After the match, Chen Ran flew back to England overnight with the entire Crystal Palace team.

It was already early morning of April 4 when we arrived in London, Chen Ran did not let the players go home, but the whole team directly checked into the hotel to rest.

By the time the team assembled again, it was already afternoon.

Because tomorrow, that is, April 4, Crystal Palace will usher in the No. 19 round of the Premier League, playing against Fulham at home.

Therefore, Chen Ran did not arrange any training content, but let the assistant coach take the players to jog to relax, and asked the physical coach and team doctor to test the physical function of each player.

However, the test results are not optimistic.

"Boss, the test report came out. Our main players are in poor physical condition and are in a very tired state. The team doctor's opinion is: it is best to let them rest, otherwise there may be a large area of ​​​​injuries."

While reporting, Guardiola handed the freshly released test report to Chen Ran, his face full of anxiety.

After glancing at the test report, Chen Ran's heart sank.

What the head coach is most afraid of is that there will be extensive injuries in the team, and it is useless if the best players cannot play.

At the critical moment of the Premier League championship, if the team suffers from extensive injuries, it almost means saying goodbye to the championship.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran decided to make a large-scale random change in tomorrow's game against Fulham.

Because in this round of the Premier League, Manchester United and Chelsea will play against each other directly, and Chen Ran feels that there is a high possibility of a draw between the two.

In this way, even if Crystal Palace fails to win Fulham due to an excessive rotation, they still have a great chance to maintain their lead.

Therefore, Chen Ran carried out a substantial rotation of Crystal Palace's starting lineup tomorrow. In the away game against Bayern Munich, all the players who played the whole game were put on the bench by him.

The only good news is that Ronaldo finally survived three shit games and returned to the starting lineup.

Fulham is currently ranked No. 15 in the Premier League, only three points above the relegation zone, and is in danger of falling into the relegation zone at any time.

As we all know, when the end of the season is approaching, the relegation team is more difficult to mess with than the championship team.

After all, one is for honor, and the other is for survival, and the latter will really fight you desperately.

Facing Fulham, which is in full relegation status, Crystal Palace, who played on the bench, can't take advantage of it at all.

If you only look at the progress of this game, it is completely impossible to see that this is a contest between a championship team and a relegation team.

As the only main player of Crystal Palace on the field, Ronaldo, who held back three games, performed very well.

It's a pity that Ronaldo can't support himself alone. Although he scored a goal, the backup back line composed of Southgate and Pepe made a fatal mistake, and Fulham striker Radzinski seized the opportunity to equalize the score.

Fortunately, Chen Ran's judgment was completely correct.

Although Crystal Palace was tied 1:1 by Fulham, Chelsea also drew 0:0 with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in the focus of this round of the Premier League.

In the final sprint of the Premier League, the three championship teams stepped on the foot brake at the same time.

The points gap between the three teams remained within three points, causing many people who were watching the excitement to lose their waists.

"It's a pity that neither Manchester United nor Chelsea have been able to seize such a good opportunity for Crystal Palace to draw with Fulham!"

"Whoever wins the game between Manchester United and Chelsea can catch up or narrow the gap with Crystal Palace. It is a pity that the two teams are too disappointing."

"The luck of that Chinese man is really good, and he escaped unharmed again."

"The three championship teams only scored one point. It seems that the suspense of the Premier League championship this season will not be seen until the last moment."

"Break Crystal Palace's monopoly on the Premier League title, Manchester United and Chelsea must work hard!"

Chen Ran didn't have the time to pay attention to the news in the media, because the situation of the UEFA Champions League semi-final match had already come out.

Crystal Palace vs AC Milan, Chelsea vs Liverpool.

The Premier League has become the big winner of the UEFA Champions League this season. Among the four participating teams in the semi-finals, three Premier League teams appeared.

And Ancelotti is really good. After experiencing the shock of "Italian Callgate" and losing the two generals of Shevchenko and Kaka, he still led AC Milan to the semi-finals of the Champions League. He deserved to be the famous coach who was able to stand tall in the five major leagues.

After the match against Fulham, there was still only one day of rest. On April 4, in the No.21 fifth round of the Premier League, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace to an away game against Bolton.

This time, Chen Ran used the "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card" for Simeone and put him in the starting lineup.

Because Vieira was injured and missed, Mascherano and Yaya Toure had to play consecutive games, and their physical condition is now extremely tired.

In order for them to have a better condition to play in the next Champions League semi-finals, Chen Ran decided to use the "chicken blood version" Simeone and Modric as the double defensive midfielders.

Facts have proved that the quality of the products produced by the system is still guaranteed.

In this game, Simeone, who hadn't started for a long time, surprised everyone.

He can be seen everywhere from the penalty area of ​​the own side to the penalty area of ​​the opponent.

From offense to defense, he always appears in key positions.

If you only look at the performance in this game, no one will believe that this is a 37-year-old veteran.

In the end, with the goals of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Simeone, Crystal Palace defeated Bolton 2:1 away.

At the same time as he scored the key three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level [-] chicken blood card" from the system.

In the other games of this round of the Premier League, Manchester United beat Middlesbrough 2:1 at Old Trafford, and Chelsea beat Newcastle United 1:0 away.

Crystal Palace is still two points ahead of Manchester United and three points ahead of Chelsea. The anxiety of the Premier League title this season is beyond everyone's imagination.

"Chen, the Red Bull Group seems to be very interested in your proposal. They have sent news that they are going to have further discussions with us on how many shares of the Galaxy Football Group the two clubs, the Salzburg Red Bull and the New York Red Bull, can replace."

Before the start of the Champions League semi-final against AC Milan, does Crystal Palace have three days of rest.

However, the team members could rest, but Chen Ran didn't have this blessing, and he was stuck in the office by Stephen again.

"Oh? So the Red Bull Group is willing to join the two clubs in their hands into our Galaxy Football Group?"

Chen Ran didn't know that Red Bull Group boss Dietrich Mateschitz went to the scene to watch the Champions League match in which Crystal Palace eliminated Bayern Munich.

But he is still very happy that this big benefactor intends to participate in his Galaxy Football Group project.

After all, apart from Crystal Palace, the other clubs of the Galaxy Football Group will need continuous blood transfusions for a long time, and there is no hope of making profits in a short time. .

Half of the funds Chen Ran spent to acquire the club were provided by the system, and the remaining half was originally paid by Chen Ran himself.

Now if the Red Bull Group can be tricked in, Chen Ran intends to ask the Red Bull Group to provide the acquisition funds on the other side.

He has made up his mind that if he buys a new club in the future, he will put on a gesture of willingness to share equity and invite Red Bull Group to contribute together, with each party holding 50% of the equity.

In this way, half of the funds for the acquisition of the club will come from the system, and half from the Red Bull Group. He can get 50% of the equity of the new club with nothing, and he will be happy!
"It's hard to say, but they are definitely interested. Whether the negotiation can be concluded, it probably depends on how many shares of Galaxy Football Group the two clubs can replace, right?"

After hearing Stephen's answer, Chen Ran nodded slightly.

The Red Bull Group certainly hopes that the Salzburg Red Bull and New York Red Bull clubs can exchange for more Galaxy Football Group shares, but the two clubs have no outstanding results.

Neither the Austrian League nor the Major League Soccer can compare with the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Therefore, as long as Crystal Palace's performance is good enough, Red Bull Group has no confidence even if it wants to bargain.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran turned to look at Stephen.

"Stephen, tell the people at Red Bull Group that now is the critical stage for Crystal Palace to compete for the Premier League title and the Champions League title. I don't have the energy to discuss the equity replacement with them. If you want to talk, ask them to wait until the end of the season. Let's talk about it later."

"Chen, are you planning to wait for Crystal Palace to win the Premier League and Champions League this season before slaughtering Red Bull?"

Stephen couldn't be more familiar with the thoughts of his friend.

"That's right. If Crystal Palace can win three consecutive Premier League titles and consecutive Champions League titles, the valuation of those Crystal Palace clubs will definitely increase significantly. At that time, we will talk to Red Bull Group about replacing the shares of Galaxy Football Group. It will go much smoother.”

"Chen, if Crystal Palace can win three consecutive Premier League titles and consecutive Champions League titles, how much stake in Galaxy Football Group do you plan to give Red Bull Group?"

Stephen looked at Chen Ran with a smile, and his tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about something trivial.

Although Crystal Palace is currently in a very anxious situation in the Premier League, a slight mistake may lose the championship trophy.

But as long as Chen Ran is there, Crystal Palace is full of confidence from top to bottom, and has never doubted that the championship trophy will slip away from their hands.

"I don't know, everything will be discussed after the champion is in hand."

After dismissing Stephen, Chen Ran focused on the team again.

Everything else is imaginary, only achievements are real.

How can it be so easy to make Red Bull Group obediently pay?
Why Dietrich Mateschitz invested in football, isn't it to promote his Red Bull drink?

If you want to make him bleed, only the championship trophy can achieve this goal.

Although Chen Ran has always looked confident in front of his subordinates, he never relaxes in being cautious in private.

For the next Champions League semi-final opponent AC Milan, Chen Ran actually admires it very much.

After Abramovich and himself poached Shevchenko and Kaka respectively, they were able to break into the semi-finals of the Champions League, which was beyond Chen Ran's expectations.

Last summer, after losing two generals, Galliani also added some personnel to AC Milan.

They introduced Gourcuff, known as Zidane's successor, from Rennes, and bought Brazilian striker Oliveira from Sevilla.

The rest are forward Boleno, midfielder Brocchi, defender Bonera, Favalli and others.

There are a lot of people, but none of them can play the main force. Ancelotti still relies on his old team to support him.

Facing Crystal Palace, the defending champion of the Champions League, An Pang also did his best to obey the destiny, and sent the strongest lineup he could come up with.

On the Crystal Palace side, the day before the game started, after training, Ibrahimovic found Chen Ran quietly again.

"Boss, can I really be at my peak in tomorrow's game?"

Looking at Zlatan Ibrahimovic's expectant and apprehensive eyes, Chen Ran was a little speechless. Isn't this guy a little crazy?
"No problem, I guarantee that you will be able to reach your peak in tomorrow's game. Since you asked for it last time, I have been adjusting your state for a while. Now everything is in place, just wait for tomorrow's game."

"Really? That's great. But, boss, why don't I feel anything?"

Seeing that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is 195cm tall, has a tendency to turn into an old woman with a bad mouth, Chen Ran hurriedly blasted him away.

Nonsense, I haven't used the "Level One Chicken Blood Card" for you yet, so of course you don't feel it.

"The game hasn't started yet, how could you feel it? Don't think about so many messes, get a good night's sleep, tomorrow you will be the most dazzling star in the world."

On April 4th, the weather was sunny and sunny, suitable for winning.

The first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final was played at Crystal Palace's home court, and two hours before the start of the game, Arsenal's new stadium was already packed with people.

Since the new stadium of the Crystal Palace has not yet been built, now the fans of the Crystal Palace are gradually getting used to running to Arsenal to watch the game.

And because Arsenal's strength has been poor in the past two years, and they haven't even qualified for the Champions League, all the Champions League games played here are Crystal Palace games, and they seem to be anti-customers.

Just like today, inside and outside of Arsenal's new stadium, Crystal Palace's jerseys and flags are everywhere.

The team song of Crystal Palace resounded through the sky.
