Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 290
"What do the Spaniards know? They don't understand how insidious Chen Ran is. Jorge, you've known Chen Ran longer than I do. Do you believe he would make such a stupid decision?"

Mourinho curled his lips in disdain, looking like he was waiting to see a good show.

He is such a proud person, after being defeated by Chen Ran for three consecutive years, he had to leave England to avoid the edge.

These ignorant Spaniards naively thought that they had taken advantage of the sky?

Mourinho can be sure that Chen Ran will never make a loss-making business, and these Spaniards will regret it in the future.

"That's true. Ever since I got to know Chen Ran, I haven't seen him make a loss-making business. It seems that there must be something hidden in the transfer between Crystal Palace and Barcelona that we don't understand."

Mendes also agrees with Mourinho's views. After observing in the past few years, Chen Ran always does some surprising things, and his decisions are often proved to be correct afterwards.

"However, this is also good. The strength of Barcelona has been greatly enhanced. Presumably, the pressure on the management of Real Madrid Club will also increase."

"If Calderon had been smart, he would not have chosen Schuster who has never coached a wealthy club or won any championship trophies."

While commenting on the impact of this transfer incident, Mourinho also felt a little funny. He did not expect that he would become an indirect beneficiary of this transfer.

Things are just as Mourinho predicted, when the entire Spanish media is applauding Barcelona's transfer operation, the management of the Real Madrid club can't sit still.

They quickly signed a three-year coaching contract with Mourinho, and Mourinho also completed a gorgeous turn, jumping directly from the Premier League upstart Chelsea to the top giants Real Madrid.

At the signing press conference held by Real Madrid for him, Mourinho teased Barcelona in a very high-profile way that he fell into Chen Ran's trap. It seems to have taken advantage now but he will definitely regret it in the future.

This time Mourinho can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest, and the scene of the press conference immediately exploded.

In particular, the media headed by Barcelona's mouthpiece "World Sports Daily" have launched a series of fierce attacks on Mourinho on this matter.

Apart from facing Chen Ran, when did Mourinho persuade him?

The entire press conference suddenly became his own show, soldiers came to block, water came to cover, Mourinho really staged a football version of the verbal war.

Sitting next to Mourinho, Calderon and Mijatovic who attended the press conference with him were suddenly dumbfounded.

Temiao himself has invited someone to be the head coach. He has been fighting with the media since the press conference when he took office. I am afraid that the days after that will not be safe.

London, Crystal Palace Club.

The little fat man walked into Chen Ran's office excitedly with a stack of newspapers in his arms.

"Chen, come and see, the sun is coming out from the west, and that Mourinho guy actually defended you at the press conference when he took office, saying that the Barcelona club will definitely regret completing this transfer deal in the future."

"Oh? Really? I didn't expect Mourinho to be quite discerning. He is indeed an opponent who can compete with me for three years."

"."

Seeing Chen Ranyun's cheeky words, the little fat man was speechless for a while. This guy's face is getting thicker and thicker now.

"This Mourinho is really smart. He came here as soon as he took office. He not only presented his vote to the Real Madrid club, but also pulled the focus of public opinion from Barcelona to himself."

"And the stronger I say about my ability, the less incompetent he, my defeated opponent, will be. It really kills three birds with one stone."

Flipping through the newspaper brought by the little fat man, Chen Ran also admired Mourinho's methods.This is the real Mourinho. He was suppressed by himself for three years before, and it was really embarrassing for him.

"Chen, in fact, what the media said is not completely unreasonable. After Zlatan Ibrahimovic leaves, the strength of our team will indeed be affected. What are you going to do next? Do you have any fancy targets? I'm good." Hurry up and get ready."

Louis didn't care about Mourinho's affairs, he just waited for Chen Ran to give the order to make another shot.

"Of course there are fancy targets, but you don't need to make any preparations. You will inform the William II Club later that Dzeko and Cavani will return to the first team of Crystal Palace next season and will no longer be on loan."

"Ah? Chen, don't you want to use these two teenagers in their early twenties to replace the vacancy left by Zlatan Ibrahimovic?"

The little fat man's eyes widened, and he was shocked by Chen Ran's decision again.

"That's right, I bought them to prepare for today's situation. After training in the Eredivisie, I believe they can surprise us in the new season."

"...hope they don't bring scares."

The little fat man muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

There were only the two of them in the office, and Chen Ran could clearly hear Louis' voice no matter how soft it was.

"It's nothing. But, Chen, do you really think these two kids can replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic?"

The little fat man was really worried, so he couldn't help asking again.

"Of course, Cavani and Dzeko are very talented strikers. And more importantly, don't forget that Messi."

"Well, you are the boss and you have the final say."

Based on Chen Ran's successful cases over the years, although Louis did not agree with his idea, he still chose to support Chen Ran's decision in the end.

Ever since Crystal Palace and Barcelona started their first transfer campaign in the summer of 2007, the entire European football transfer market has been surging, and there have been large-scale transfer deals being exposed, which made the melon-eaters on the tree very happy to see .

After Barcelona got Zlatan Ibrahimovic, they made another move. First, they bought French striker Henry from Arsenal for 2400 million euros.

Then they brought in Argentine defender Gabi Milito from Zaragoza for 1700 million euros, and bought French defender Abidal from Lyon for 1500 million euros.

And Mourinho, who just took office in Real Madrid, was not idle, and he made a big deal when he made a move. He first bought his favorite general Robben from his old club Chelsea for 3600 million euros.

Then he introduced Dutch midfielder Sneijder from Ajax for 2700 million euros, Dutch left-back Drenthe from Feyenoord for 1400 million euros, and Manchester United for 1250 million. The Euros have brought in Argentine defender Heinze.

In the end, Mourinho has not spent a penny to introduce Barcelona's Argentine forward Saviola whose contract has expired, Dortmund's German central defender Metzelder, and Liverpool's Polish goalkeeper Dudek. Brazilian midfielder Baptista returned on loan.

As for the Premier League, Liverpool, which had just been acquired by two Americans, George Gillette and Tom Hicks, became a blockbuster and brought in Spain's golden boy Torres from Atletico Madrid for a sky-high price of 3600 million euros.

On the Manchester United side, the Glazer family, persuaded by Ferguson, was finally willing to pay this time.

They first spent 2500 million euros to buy England midfielder Hargreaves from Bayern Munich, then used 2500 million euros to introduce Brazilian midfielder Anderson from Porto, and used 2100 million euros to buy Portuguese winger Nani.

Finally, Manchester United also signed Argentine striker Carlos Tevez on loan from West Ham United for 300 million euros.

Here at Chelsea, Peter Kenyon also bought Carlo Ancelotti the Italian midfielder Pirlo he was thinking of.It's just that Galliani was not a good stubble, and took away 3000 million euros from Chelsea with a single blow.

Since Chelsea's original lineup is already very strong, the remaining transfers are mainly to check for gaps and make up for gaps.

They spent 2000 million euros to introduce French left-winger Malouda from Lyon, and bought Brazilian right-back Belletti from Barcelona for 550 million euros.

There are also Brazilian central defender Alex from Eindhoven, Peruvian striker Pizarro from Bayern Munich, Israeli central defender Ben Haim from Bolton, and England midfielder West Germany from Reading. Vail spent nothing.

And AC Milan, which has sold its main players in a row recently, has also begun to replenish its strength this time.They spent 2200 million euros on the introduction of talented player Pato from Brazil International, and bought Brazilian midfielder Emerson from Real Madrid for 550 million euros.

As for the Bundesliga class bully Bayern Munich, after losing the Bundesliga championship last season, this time it is also a painful experience and plans to increase investment.

It's still the old rule, first catch the little brothers from the Bundesliga to squeeze the wool.

They first spent 1200 million euros on the introduction of German striker Klose from Bremen, bought German defender Jansen from Borussia Mönchengladbach for 900 million euros, and introduced the Argentine midfielder from the University of La Plata for 450 million euros. Sosa.

Then, they set their sights on Crystal Palace.

"Chen, the Bayern Munich club sent an acquisition application. They have taken a fancy to our Toni and Ribery."

Fatty Louis walked into Chen Ran's office excitedly again, waving the fax that Bayern Munich just sent in his hand.

Hearing what the little fat man said, Chen Ran didn't even raise his head, and just threw two words: "Reject!"

"Er Chen, don't you ask their quotation?"

Chen Ran's reaction surprised the little fat man again, it was an attitude that he didn't even plan to talk about it.

"Ask what? No matter how high their bid is, I don't intend to sell it. Bayern Munich doesn't have a player like Messi. If it's just money, it doesn't appeal to me."

Chen Ran was still staring at the document in his hand, without even looking at the little fat man.

"Chen, what are you looking at? So focused?"

Seeing that Chen Ran ignored him at all, the little fat man moved his big head over curiously.

"Oh, this is the shortlist of teams for this year's International Champions Cup. I didn't expect that so many teams rushed to sign up just after the season ended. There are too many teams. It will be troublesome to choose anyone or not, and it is easy to offend people. "

When the first International Champions Cup was held last year, it was Chen Ran's family and clubs who personally invited them to gather four teams.

Unexpectedly, after the success of this event last year, he didn't have to worry about it this year. The faxes of registration applications were sent to Stephen like a snowflake.

Since there were too many teams signing up, Stephen couldn't make up his mind, so he had to send the list to Chen Ran.

"Louis, what do you think is the best choice?"

Chen Ran was also having a headache about this matter, so he happened to ask the little fat man for his opinion when he came.

"Chen, why do you want to choose? I don't think those who dare to sign up are unknown people, so let's just take them all. You know that if you play one more game, you will earn more money for one more game. Don't let it go for nothing. .”

The little fat man doesn't care so much, he only has one thought in his mind, that is, things that can make money cannot be pushed outside.

"Take them all?"

Chen Ran's head was full of black lines all of a sudden. A dozen or twenty wealthy teams gathered together to play a game. Isn't that equivalent to the club version of the World Cup?
This commotion was bigger than G14, and the coffin boards of FIFA and UEFA couldn't hold it down anymore.

However, what the little fat man said was not unreasonable.

Everyone comes to sign up for the competition to make money. If you don't bring them with you, they will go to other competitions. This is equivalent to sending ammunition to the competitors of the "International Champions Cup".

After much deliberation, Chen Ran felt that it was more appropriate for him to earn the money himself, so that he would not bother others.

"Stephen, come here, let's discuss the 'International Champions Cup'."

Stephen, who received the call from Chen Ran, came to Chen Ran's office soon, "Chen, have you selected the list yet?"

As soon as he entered the door, Stephen hurriedly asked for the result.

He is now being harassed by phone calls from the executives of the major wealthy clubs every day, and none of them can be offended, which annoys Stephen to death.

"Think about it, thanks to Louis' reminder, I decided to bring all the teams that signed up."

"."

Sure enough, like Chen Ran's initial reaction, Stephen's head was full of black lines.

"Chen, do you want to host the Club World Cup? Are you not afraid of being troubled by FIFA and UEFA?"

"Haha, Stephen, don't worry, I've already thought of a countermeasure."

Seeing Stephen's anxious eyes, Chen Ran quickly comforted his right-hand assistant.

"It's definitely not possible to get so many teams together, the movement is too big. Therefore, I decided to divide this 'International Champions Cup' into several divisions, with four to five teams in each division, so that it will not be too conspicuous. You how do you feel?"

"Competition by division? This is one way. However, how do you plan to divide the division?"

"It's very simple. Set up four divisions in wealthy places like North America, East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Through a lottery, each division is composed of four or five teams, and then the prize money is distributed according to the ranking of the division."

"Score ranking? You don't want to have a finals, do you?"

Stephen looked at Chen Ran suspiciously.

"Ahem, don't do it for now, don't do it for a while."
