Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 287
"Mr. Chairman, our team's current striker configuration lacks Zhengyin center, which makes our offensive methods have obvious shortcomings."

"It can only be based on ground pass and cut coordination, and there is very little high-altitude bombing, which also makes it easier for our opponents to concentrate their defense."

"If we had a strong center last season, I believe that some games can be won completely, then the league championship trophy will not fall into the hands of Real Madrid."

"So, I very much hope that Mr. Chairman can introduce a strong center forward to the team this summer. Ibrahimovic is obviously the best candidate we have the opportunity to get at present."

Looking into Laporta's eyes, Rijkaard became more and more excited as he spoke.

In La Liga last season, Barcelona and Real Madrid had 76 points in the end, but because of the relationship between victory and defeat, the league title was snatched by Real Madrid led by Fabio Capello.

It's okay if you are behind in points, but if you lose the league title with the same points, you still lose to the arch-rival Real Madrid.

This result, not to mention that Rijkaard couldn't swallow this breath, even Laporta and Fernandez were not reconciled.

Hearing Rijkaard mention last season's La Liga championship, Laporta, who was still a little hesitant, immediately made up his mind.

You must know that although he is the chairman of Barcelona, ​​he is not the owner of the club.

Due to the special membership system of FC Barcelona, ​​the chairman is elected by the members.If the team performs poorly, members can also impeach the club president and remove him from office.

After losing the league championship trophy to arch-rivals Real Madrid last season, Laporta has also been questioned a lot.Even some of his competitors have begun to join forces in private, preparing to launch a vote of no confidence in him.

It can be expected that if Barcelona fails to show convincing performance in the new season, then he is likely to face the impeachment case of the club chairman.

Thinking of this, between Messi, the future core of the team, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the top center who can immediately enrich the team's offensive system, Laporta gradually favors the latter.

After all, even if Messi really becomes a superstar in the future, if he is not the chairman of the Barcelona club, does it still have a dime to do with him?
"Robert, you reply to Crystal Palace and say that we agree to their terms, Fabregas and Messi can be exchanged for Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

Laporta, who planned to try his best to keep his position first, turned his head to look at Fernandez, and made an important decision that would prove to change the development pattern of world football in the future.

"Okay, Mr. Chairman."

London, Crystal Palace Club, little fat Louis who received a reply from Barcelona came to Chen Ran's office again.

"Chen, Barcelona's latest reply, they agreed to the conditions you offered, and agreed to exchange Fabregas and Messi for Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

The little fat man had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was not very happy with Barcelona's offer to Chen Ran.

Frankly speaking, he didn't quite understand Chen Ran's decision to exchange.

In his opinion, that Argentine kid has no way to compare with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a top center.

However, Chen Ran's precise vision in selecting players all the time made Louis doubt his own judgment.

Seeing the troubled look on the little fat man's face, Chen Ran secretly smiled.

You know, in the previous life, countless people have YYed the chemical effect that Ronaldo and Messi, the two "peerless twins", would have if they were in the same team.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is destined to only come true in dreams or novels.

Now, I actually have the opportunity to complete this YY in reality.Even if it costs Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a top center, Chen Ran thinks it's worth it.

What's more, if Ibrahimovic still fell out with the coaching staff in Barcelona according to the trajectory of the previous life, then I have the opportunity to buy Ibrahimovic again a year later. return.

Of course, whether this situation will happen like in the previous life, Chen Ran is not completely sure, so now he can only bury this plan quietly in his heart, and then wait quietly, waiting for the opportunity to move.

"Luis, you go and contact Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent Raiola and say I want to meet him."

"Okay, I'm going to inform Raiola right now."

Seeing that Chen Ran was determined to complete the transfer, the little fat man finally decided to trust Chen Ran's judgment.

After all, it was Chen Ran who led them to achieve miracles that seemed impossible for the Crystal Palace to develop to where it is today.

Early the next morning, the little fat man came to Chen Ran's office again.

However, this time his face was a little dignified.

"Chen, according to the latest information provided by my friends, just last night, Kaka had dinner with Chelsea's current coach Ancelotti and player Andriy Shevchenko."

As the little fat man said, he put a few photos on the desk in front of Chen Ran.

Chen Ran picked up the photo and looked at it. In the photo, Kaka, Ancelotti and Shevchenko were chatting happily, obviously they had a good relationship.

"What do you think of this matter?"

Putting down the photo in his hand, Chen Ran turned to look at the little fat man.

"Ekaka, Ancelotti, and Shevchenko played for AC Milan before, so it stands to reason that it is not a big deal for them to have a meal together."

"However, the timing is sensitive now, and the summer transfer period is about to begin. Besides, Ancelotti and Andriy Shevchenko are still from our rival Chelsea, so we have to prevent him from poaching Kaka. possibility."

The little fat man who is very familiar with transfer affairs quickly analyzed the matter very thoroughly.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Chelsea should be defended. Although Mourinho has left, Peter Kenyon, the old opponent, is still there. This old fox is not easy to deal with. He can do anything. "

"However, Kaka is our own after all, so we definitely can't just ask him directly if Chelsea wants to poach him. If we do this, it will show that we don't trust him, and getting along in the team will become difficult in the future. so awkward."

Chen Ran said while thinking about countermeasures.It is necessary to prevent problems before they happen, and to take into account Kaka's feelings. The scale is very difficult to grasp.

"Louis, find someone to send these photos to the media in the form of breaking news. Wait until this topic is hyped up, and then see Kaka's reaction. If there is no problem, I believe he will take the initiative to come to me to clarify."

"Okay, this is a good way. It's much more natural for Kaka to speak on his own initiative than for us to ask him. Chen, your brain is better."

Hearing Chen Ran's idea, the little fat man couldn't help patting his thigh and applauding.This not only clarifies the truth of the matter, but also avoids embarrassment, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Meanwhile, at Chelsea, Ancelotti and Peter Kenyon were back together.However, the expressions of the two people are not very good-looking.

"Carlo, is there no chance at all?"

Even though Carlo Ancelotti had already stated the results of his test when he had dinner with Kaka last night, Peter Kenyon still didn't give up.

"Probably not anymore. I know Ricardo quite well. He is not the kind of half-hearted person. He is now earning a lot of money in Crystal Palace, and he still has championship trophies to win. It can be felt from his words that he I am very satisfied with my life now.”

Although Ancelotti is also a bit depressed, but seeing Kaka doing well, as a friend, he is still happy for Kaka.

"Carlo, don't jump to conclusions."

Peter Kenyon's mind was running fast, and he quickly came up with an idea.

"In this way, I will release the news that you have dinner with Shevchenko and Kaka to the media. You also know that the summer transfer period is about to begin, and everyone's nerves are very sensitive."

"If the Crystal Palace Club suspects that Kaka has a connection with us after seeing this news, it may cause a rift between them, and then we may have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Isn't that bad?"

Ancelotti was taken aback by Peter Kenyon's idea, how could he still play like this?
"Haha, there's nothing wrong with that. If the Crystal Palace Club really suspects Kaka because he had a meal with you, it means they don't trust Kaka at all."

"For a team that doesn't trust itself, what's the point of Kaka staying there? It's better to come to Chelsea and get more salary. Do you think this is the reason?"

Seeing Peter Kenyon's smooth talk, Ancelotti was dumbfounded. This guy can really talk about death.

However, after all, Peter Kenyon was trying to help himself find a way to sign in, and Ancelotti still acquiesced to Peter Kenyon's method very wisely.

Soon, an explosive news quickly spread throughout England.

"The latest news is that Kaka, the core midfielder of Crystal Palace, the double defending champion of the Premier League and the Champions League, secretly meets the new head coach of rival Chelsea, Ancelotti, and Shevchenko, the leading striker, is suspected of wanting to switch to Chelsea."

"After the England international Crouch, Chelsea once again aimed at the rival Crystal Palace. This time, they took a fancy to the Brazilian international and the core midfielder Kaka."

"Chelsea, who have been suppressed by Crystal Palace for three seasons, once again launched an impact on their opponents."

"Although the summer transfer period has not yet started, the air is already full of gunpowder."

"This summer, there may be many shocking transfers, let's wait and see."

Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran's office.

During this period of time, the little fat man spent more time here than in his own office.

"Chen, the news that Kaka, Ancelotti, and Shevchenko had dinner spread at an unusually fast speed."

"And some media didn't have photos when they published the news, even if they reprinted it, they wouldn't use the ready-made photos, would they?"

The little fat man stroked his plump chin and said thoughtfully.

"Oh? Louis, you mean, someone is spreading the news at the same time?"

Chen Ran didn't know as much about these specific matters as the little fat man.Hearing the little fat man's judgment, he also became suspicious immediately.

"That's right. I asked the person responsible for breaking the news, and they sent photos to the selected media. The media that didn't publish the photos obviously got the news from other sources."

After clearing his mind, the little fat man became more certain about his judgment.

"Chen, do you think this is Chelsea spreading news? After all, only the parties involved know what happened that night best."

"It's very possible. Chelsea probably wants to hype up this matter, and then make us suspect that Kaka has colluded with them, so as to drive a wedge between us and Kaka, so they can take advantage of the opportunity."

After placing the object of suspicion on Chelsea, Chen Ran immediately deduced Chelsea's purpose for doing so.

He could even guess that this plan must have been conceived by his old opponent Peter Kenyon.

"That makes sense. Chen, since it's confirmed that Chelsea is the one who made the shot, what shall we do now?"

The little fat man also felt that Chen Ran's judgment might be the truth of the matter.

"Just one word, wait! As long as we don't mess ourselves up, then Chelsea will have nothing to do with us."

"understood."

At the same time, in the Chelsea club, Peter Kenyon and Ancelotti were also staring at a table full of newspapers and magazines.

"Peter, you found so many media? You even took photos?"

The corner of Ancelotti's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Peter Kenyon speechlessly. Now he doubted whether coming to Chelsea was the right choice.

Damn, he's just a football coach, how could he be followed and photographed?

Does the Chelsea club have any dark secrets?

Suddenly, Ancelotti remembered that this is the birthplace of 007, and also remembered the Russian identity of Chelsea club owner Abramovich.

For a moment, Ancelotti was frightened into a cold sweat by his brain.

Seeing the strange look in Ancelotti's eyes, Peter Kenyon was also very embarrassed. He really didn't do this.

"Carlo, I can swear that I never asked anyone to follow you and take pictures."

"According to what I learned from friends in the media, someone saw you having dinner with Kaka, so they took a picture and broke the news to the newspaper in exchange for a bonus for breaking the news."

"Whistleblower bonus? So that's how it is."

Hearing that it was not what he imagined, Ancelotti was greatly relieved.

Although he used this reason to appease Ancelotti, Peter Kenyon, as a veteran of the world, did not believe it.

Relying on his intuition, he thinks that this matter is not that simple.

Walking to the window, Peter Kenyon cast his gaze in the direction of the Crystal Palace Club.
