Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 283 A Lion Gone, A Tiger Came Again
"Mr. Chen, congratulations on defending your Champions League title."

Mourinho, who walked up to Chen Ran, offered to extend his hand.

"Thank you. Your Chelsea are very strong and difficult to deal with."

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of spectators and the attention of countless fans all over the world, Chen Ran, the winner, of course couldn't lose his demeanor, and smiled as he held Mourinho's extended hand.

"Crack."

"Crack."

"Crack."

The sound of countless cameras taking pictures instantly sounded all around, recording the handshake scene of Chen Ran and Mourinho looking at each other and smiling.

"I'm leaving, come to say goodbye to you early."

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Think about it."

"Good luck."

"Thank you."

After a brief conversation, Mourinho then turned and walked towards the player channel.

Seeing Mourinho's figure gradually disappearing from sight, Chen Ran couldn't help but feel a little sad. This difficult guy was finally leaving.

However, will the Premier League without Mourinho become a bit boring in the future?
"Beep, beep, beep"

At this time, there were two short and one long whistles at the end of the game.

With Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic's goals and Modric's brace, Crystal Palace beat Chelsea 4:1 and won the UEFA Champions League trophy in the 2006-2007 season.

Before Chen Ran had time to react, he realized that he had been thrown into the air by those guys who gathered around him just now.

"Fuck!"

It turned out that these guys had premeditated.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the UEFA Champions League this season, and a special reward of 4000 million euros for the championship."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for passing the 'wealthy qualification certification'. From now on, the Crystal Palace Club will have its own aura of wealth, and its attractiveness will greatly increase in terms of players, fans, sponsors, etc."

Chen Ran, who was used to being thrown into the air as soon as he won the championship, looked at the system messages while enjoying the ups and downs.

Crystal Palace is now finally considered a wealthy club recognized by the system. If it continues to develop in the current form, maybe in a few years, some players will say that they have a crystal dream.

Thousands of miles away in China, countless Crystal Palace fans who stayed up late to watch the Champions League final were excited.

Even if the game is over, few people are willing to go to sleep.Instead, they ran to the Post Bar of the Crystal Palace to pour water while waiting for the awards ceremony.

"Haha, the Crystal Palace did not disappoint us, this night was not in vain."

"So far, Crystal Palace has entered the Champions League final twice and won the championship twice. This [-]% winning rate is a bit scary."

"Hehe, there are new fans upstairs, right? If you count the Europa League, Club World Cup, European Super Cup, FA Cup and League Cup, wouldn't you be scared to pee?"

"I'm going, it's true, if you tell me upstairs, I really didn't pay attention. As long as Crystal Palace reached the finals, they won the championship trophy in the end. Isn't this too abnormal?"

"This is where Chen Ran is so good. It is said that Benitez is good at playing cup games, but compared to Chen Ran, he is far behind."

"That's right. I didn't see Mourinho running to congratulate Chen Ran at the end of the game."

"In fact, Mourinho's ability is still very strong, but he was unlucky. When he came to the Premier League, he happened to bump into Chen Ran. He was suppressed by Chen Ran for three years. It was really miserable."

"Good guy, isn't this the football version of 'Ji Shengyu, He Shengliang'?"

"Haha, the summary upstairs is too incisive."

Participating in the awards ceremony, partying all night, and unconscious, this set of procedures is now very familiar to Chen Ran.

At noon the next day, Chen Ran, who had a splitting headache, was awakened from his sleep by the ringing of his mobile phone.

"Chen, have you read the news? Mourinho said in an interview with reporters: He will no longer be the head coach of Chelsea next season."

The voice of Little Fatty Louis bluffing came from the mobile phone.

"That's it?"

"That's right, the popularity of this news is almost catching up with Crystal Palace's defending Champions League champions."

"I see."

Not giving the little fat man a chance to continue talking, Chen Ran immediately hung up the phone.

After being woken up by the little fat man's phone call, Chen Ran no longer felt sleepy.

Mourinho's last words in the stadium yesterday made him mentally prepared.

But what happened next was completely beyond Chen Ran's expectations.

Just three days after Mourinho announced his official resignation as Chelsea's head coach, the Chelsea club officially announced that Ancelotti, who was fired by AC Milan, replaced Mourinho as the team's new head coach.

When Chen Ran saw the news, he was taken aback for a moment. Why is Ancelotti dismissing get out of class now?In my impression, he should still coach AC Milan for two years.

Could it be because he poached Kaka?
In the previous life, the Champions League champion in 2007 was the last glory of AC Milan, after which they will be silent for many years.

Now that Kaka was dug into the Crystal Palace in advance by himself, without this year's Champions League trophy, the boss Berlusconi lost his patience and started to attack Ancelotti in advance.

Seeing Ancelotti's chubby smiling face in the news, Chen Ran frowned. This guy is not easy to deal with.

This is a veritable evergreen tree in football. In the previous life, when Mourinho, who was younger than him, was reduced to coaching the second-tier team Roma, Ancelotti could still lead Real Madrid to win La Liga The double of the league and the Champions League.

Moreover, his coaching experience covers the giant clubs in the five major leagues, and his ability to lead different teams to success shows that he has a strong adaptability.

The Chelsea Club replaced Mourinho with Ancelotti, maybe the combat effectiveness will not be damaged, but will be enhanced.

This is a lion that just left, and a tiger came again.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran pouted helplessly.Before, I thought about whether the Premier League would become boring without Mourinho, but now it seems that I am thinking too much.

At Mourinho's home, he and Mendes are also watching the news that Carlo Ancelotti joined Chelsea.

"Snapped!"

After watching the news, Mourinho turned off the TV and threw the remote control aside.

"Peter Kenyon's movements are really fast enough."

Although he left on his own initiative, Mourinho still felt a little uncomfortable seeing his former club find his replacement so quickly.

"Ahem, this kind of matter is definitely not something that can be discussed in three days. It can only be said that Peter Kenyon must have contacted Ancelotti long ago."

Based on the experience of participating in the transfer operation over the years, Mendes expressed his own judgment.

Hearing Mendes' analysis, Mourinho nodded slightly.It's not a day or two before Chelsea's boss Abramovich wanted to fire himself. This situation was completely expected by Mourinho.

"José, would you like to go to AC Milan? Their general manager Galliani has invited you to coach."

At this time, Mendes stated his purpose of coming to Mourinho's house today.

"AC Milan?"

Hearing this name, Mourinho couldn't help frowning.

Although he has been coaching the Premier League team in recent years, Mourinho still pays close attention to this veteran Italian club.

If in the first two years, if AC Milan invited him to coach, Mourinho would definitely agree without hesitation.

But the current situation is completely different from before. Berlusconi, the owner of AC Milan, has repeatedly expressed in public that he hopes the club will be responsible for its own profits and losses.

What does it mean?Isn't it that Berlusconi is not willing to continue to spend money for the team anymore.

Coupled with the departure of Shevchenko and Kaka, AC Milan's lineup has a serious aging problem and urgently needs to be updated.

And replacements cost a lot of money.

This makes AC Milan fall into an endless loop. No wonder Ancelotti, who has been coaching the team for many years, has to run away.

The current AC Milan is a huge pit, and whoever goes there will end up buried alive.

After thinking this through, Mourinho shook his head decisively at Mendes.

"Jorge, AC Milan has a big problem now. Unless their boss Berlusconi is willing to continue to invest in the team, I will not go there to coach. You make my request clear to Galliani, See how he responded."

"Okay. There is reliable information that Real Madrid is planning to fire the employer coach Capello. I plan to fight for you to coach Real Madrid. What do you think?"

"Real Madrid? Didn't they win the La Liga this season? Why do you want to fire Capello?"

Hearing the name of another giant club, Mourinho asked curiously.

"It is said that it was because Capello emphasized defense and the game was not good-looking, so even though the team won the league championship, the top management of Real Madrid decided to replace him."

"you sure?"

Mourinho was completely surprised by this, and there is such a weird reason for dismissing the employer's coach.

Thinking of this, Mourinho suddenly felt that he could coach Chelsea for three years without winning the league championship. The boss Abramovich was really patient.

"Who knows? Anyway, that's what the Spanish media say."

Mendes made a helpless expression at Mourinho, and he was also very puzzled by the behavior of Real Madrid's top management.

"I also put a lot of emphasis on defense."

After a long silence, Mourinho suddenly said this.

"So are you interested in coaching Real Madrid?"

Hearing Mendes' question, Mourinho looked at each other speechlessly. Which head coach would not be interested in coaching Real Madrid?
"Understood. I will put your name in the shortlist of Real Madrid and try my best to fight for this coaching opportunity for you, but I can't guarantee whether they will choose you in the end."

"It's okay, just try your best."

Once the Champions League final is played, it usually means that the season is officially over.

The players went to vacation one after another, but the management of each club began to get busy.

On this day, Chen Ran received a call that he had been waiting for for a long time.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar number displayed on the phone, Chen Ran smiled slightly, saying that it was mine and would come back obediently after all.

"Cesc, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

"Boss, hello, congratulations on winning the Champions League again."

On the other side of the phone, the long-lost familiar voice of Cesc Fabregas came over.

"Okay, don't go around in circles. You are 20 years old this year and you are a man. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Boss, I want to go back to Crystal Palace."

Fabregas' hesitant voice came from the phone, and Chen Ran's mind suddenly appeared that this guy was rubbing the back of his head with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Hey, come back if you want. I told you before that the gate of the Crystal Palace will always be open to you."

"But there is one thing I want to make clear to you in advance. Now the team is different from when you left. Even if you come back, I can't guarantee your main position. Can you accept this?"

"It doesn't matter, boss. As long as I can return to Crystal Palace, I am willing to start as a substitute and fight for the main position based on my performance."

Hearing that Chen Ran did not refuse his request, Cesc Fabregas immediately lifted his spirits, and expressed his determination to Chen Ran by patting his chest.

In fact, Cesc Fabregas is also a substitute in Barcelona now. Although he does not have a main position, he has not few opportunities to play.

It stands to reason that as a Spaniard and a direct descendant of La Masia, there should be no problem integrating into the Barcelona system.

But for some unknown reason, Cesc Fabregas is a bit out of tune with the current main players of Barcelona, ​​and he has not been able to integrate well. This has also caused him to not be very happy in Barcelona in the past two years.

So, at the instigation of his agent, Cesc Fabregas made today's call in the name of congratulating Crystal Palace on defending the Champions League.

Of course, Chen Ran would not refuse Cesc Fabregas' desire to return to Crystal Palace.

Although the development in Barcelona in the past two years has not been smooth, Fabregas is still only 20 years old after all, and he still has great potential as a player.

Moreover, an all-round midfielder like him who can organize offense and have certain defensive ability will be hard to find in the future.

Simeone is about to retire, and Vieira will be 31 next season.

In the blueprint designed by Chen Ran, in the future Crystal Palace's central midfield will consist of Modric, Cesc Fabregas, Yaya Toure, Mascherano and the young Toni Kroos.

With the existence of these people, Crystal Palace's midfielders will not have to worry about it for the next ten years.

The next day, Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran's office.

Chen Ran called Fatty Luis, the sports manager in charge of Crystal Palace's transfer affairs, over early in the morning.

"Luiz, I give you a task to send an application to the Barcelona club to buy Cesc Fabregas."

"Cesc Fabregas?"

Hearing this name that hadn't appeared for a long time, Little Fatty Louis was obviously taken aback.
