Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 296 Dislocation Competition
"Oh? Under what conditions?"

"They want to be able to title-sponsor all the teams under the Galaxy Football Group."

"All the teams? The appetite is not small. However, many countries do not allow the name of the sponsor in the name of the team. Doesn't the Red Bull Group not know this?"

Chen Ran looked at Stephen meaningfully. Could it be that the Red Bull Group wants to repeat the same tricks and use the tricks played on the Leipzig Red Bull in the previous life.

"Of course they do. And they've figured out how to get around that."

"Have you figured out a way? Isn't Red Bull Group planning to change the name of the team to RB?"

Chen Ran casually mentioned the tricks used by the Red Bull Group in his previous life.

"OMG! Chen, how did you know what they were thinking?"

Unexpectedly, what Chen Ran said casually shocked Stephen, and he stared at Chen Ran stupidly with his eyes wide open.

"Well, I'm just guessing casually."

Chen Ran didn't expect Stephen's reaction to be so big. He couldn't say that he was a reborn, so he had to find an excuse to fool him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your brain is too terrifying. The method that the Red Bull Group has worked so hard to think of is just so casually seen through by you."

Stephen sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, monstrous.

"Okay, stop sycophanting. Go tell the people at Red Bull Group that you've completely given up on it. Don't treat everyone as fools. Playing this kind of trick will only make people annoying. It's not only useless for promoting their products. To help is to do harm.”

"Chen, even if it is harmful, the Red Bull Group will be damaged. Let's just earn our title sponsorship fee. After all, this is not a small amount of money."

Seeing that a large amount of sponsorship money was about to be turned away, as the chief steward of the Crystal Palace, Stephen was still a little bit reluctant.

"Stephen, we are a big family now. I don't know how many wolves are hiding in the dark and staring at us. They are just waiting for us to show our weaknesses so that we can be torn apart and eaten."

"So, please remember that you can't ask for more money with hidden dangers. Do you understand?"

Seeing Chen Ran's serious expression, Stephen immediately woke up.

"Chen, I understand. I'm going to reject Red Bull Group's proposal."

"Well, tell them exactly what I just said. If they are unwilling to continue cooperating because of this matter, then terminate the negotiation. It's worth noting this kind of partner, otherwise it will bring disaster to us sooner or later."

"Okay, I know what to do."

Soon, the Red Bull Group received a reply from Stephen.

Seeing that Chen Ran rejected their proposal, the executives in charge of the negotiation of Red Bull Group were both angry and puzzled.

Damn, don't even give you money?What else did you say that if you don't withdraw this request, you will terminate the negotiation?Is that Chinese man out of his mind?Did he think of himself as God?

Chen Ran is far from being able to compare with Dietrich Mattschitz of Red Bull Group in terms of personal net worth or the asset scale of the enterprises under his name.

However, in this cooperation negotiation, Chen Ran has always taken the absolute initiative, and this is no good, and that is no good, which made the negotiation team of the Red Bull Group have long held back their anger.

This time, the executives of the Red Bull Group who were in charge of the negotiations were completely angry when they saw that they had been rejected for sending money out of good intentions.

Several people joined together and ran to the office of the boss Dietrich Mattschitz, unanimously proposed to cancel the cooperation plan with the Galaxy Football Group.

"Oh? Is this what the little guy from Huaguo said?"

Hearing Chen Ran's words relayed by his executives, Dietrich Mattschitz was not angry, but became more and more interested in Chen Ran.

To be able to resist the temptation of money at a young age, and at the same time have a very clear judgment on one's own situation, is really remarkable.

"Yes, boss. This is a personal report from Stephen, the CEO of the Crystal Palace Club, and we can all prove it."

"Yes, boss, that's exactly what he said."

"I can also prove it."

"Just do what that little guy from Huaguo wants."

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Dietrich Mattschitz made a decision that surprised his subordinates.

"Boss, are you looking down on that Chinese man too much by doing this? If everything is handled according to his wishes, then we will have no right to speak in the Galaxy Football Group in the future."

After some eye contact, one of the executives ventured to speak out.

"The method you propose can certainly bypass the relevant regulations of various countries, but as the little guy from Huaguo said, it may indeed cause some people's dissatisfaction. If someone stirs up the flames again, it may not be worth the loss. "

"And that little guy from Huaguo was able to resist the temptation of money and voluntarily give up this large sponsorship fee, which shows that he is very clear-headed. With such a person at the helm of the Galaxy Football Group, I feel more at ease."

In the previous life, there was Beckenbauer who was responsible for fixing the high-level German football, and the Red Bull Group was able to take advantage of the loopholes to win the Leipzig Red Bull.

But in the end, it was boycotted by other teams and fans, which made Red Bull Group steal chickens and lose money, and did a thankless thing.

In this life, due to the appearance of Chen Ran, the Red Bull Group has embarked on a completely different path since then.

After a week of rest, the fourth round of the Premier League started again.

This time, Crystal Palace played against Birmingham at home.

With goals from Toni, Ronaldo, Ribery and Vidic, Crystal Palace beat Birmingham 4-1.

In the other games of this round, Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Old Trafford, and Chelsea also beat Portsmouth 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool beat Sunderland 2-0 away, while Arsenal beat Manchester City 1-0 away.

Thanks to Arsenal's help, Crystal Palace became the only team to start with four consecutive victories and was able to dominate the top of the Premier League standings.

Another week later, in the fifth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go to Anfield to challenge their old rival Liverpool this time.

In this summer transfer period, in addition to spending a sky-high price of 3600 million euros to poach the Spanish golden boy Torres, Liverpool also used 1700 million euros to introduce Dutch striker Babel from Ajax.

In addition, they bought Brazilian midfielder Lucas from Gremio for 1200 million euros, and Israeli midfielder Benayoun from West Ham United for 740 million euros.

Coupled with the Ukrainian striker Voronin and other players who came from Leverkusen on a free transfer, the two Americans Tom Hicks and George Gillette entered Liverpool's first summer transfer period. not big.

This time Liverpool are playing against Crystal Palace at home, Tom Hicks and George Gillette will naturally not be absent.

Both of them really want to see if Liverpool, after investing heavily, can break their wrists with the Chinese Crystal Palace.

Unlike many traditional England bosses who like to sit among the fans to watch the game, Tom Hicks and George Gillette prefer to sit in the boxes of the high Anfield Stadium to watch the game.

"Tom, do you think we can beat Crystal Palace in this game?"

George Gillette asked Tom Hicks casually while pouring red wine.

Another advantage of watching the game in the box is that it is convenient to talk, at least you don't have to worry about being caught by someone because they are blind.

"It's hard to say. Although Benitez is full of confidence, I always feel that our strength is still not as good as Crystal Palace, so I will be very satisfied if this game can be tied."

After taking a sip of the red wine, Tom Hicks expressed his true thoughts.

"What? We spent so much money in this transfer period, can't it be compared to the Crystal Palace? Didn't everyone say that after the Chinese let Ibrahimovic go, the strength of the Crystal Palace declined?"

Hearing Tom Hicks say that, George Gillette was immediately unhappy.

You must know that the money Liverpool used for signings this summer is all loans with high interest.If the team can't produce results in a short period of time, then they can only sell the club and run away.

"Deterioration in strength? Crystal Palace has won four consecutive victories at the start. Does it look like a decline in strength? Don't listen to the media's nonsense. What can't those guys do for sales?"

Tom Hicks' mind is quite clear, and he has long been aware of the pissing nature of the English media.

"Then what do we do now? If we can't win the championship trophy, we won't be able to significantly increase the club's operating income. We have spent so much money this summer, and we have to pay it back."

Although these debts were put on the Liverpool Club by the two of them following the practice of the Glazer family, even if the debts are not repaid, the two of them will not be involved.

But George Gillette's willingness to invest in Liverpool is to make money, and judging from the current situation, he seems to have no hope of making money.

"What's the rush? I've already studied it. Judging from the results of Crystal Palace in the past few years, Chen Ran only values ​​the two championship trophies of the Premier League and the Champions League."

"Although our strength is not yet on par with Crystal Palace, we can compete with Crystal Palace in a dislocation."

"For example, we can put the team's main energy on the FA Cup and League Cup, which Crystal Palace doesn't pay much attention to. In the European arena, we can focus on the Europa League. In this way, we can Avoid the biggest rivals, Crystal Palace."

"Although the Europa League, the FA Cup and the League Cup are not as important as the Premier League and the Champions League, they can still be attractive to both fans and sponsors."

"In this way, Liverpool's revenue performance will definitely increase a lot. For those wolves on Wall Street, as long as they see that we have sufficient cash flow to keep coming in, they will not cut off our funds. .”

After listening to Tom Hicks' analysis, George Gillette's eyes lit up.

"That's right, you can't hide if you can't beat Crystal Palace. Tom, you have a good way. Let's play dislocation competition, and isn't Benitez good at playing cup games, and this can just play to his strengths."

The excited George Gillette and Tom Hicks clinked a glass and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Looking down at the upcoming match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace, George Gillette was not worried at all at this time.

He is now full of thoughts about how to tell Benitez in the future, let the other party put the team's focus on the cup.

At this time, Benitez, who didn't know that he was being calculated by the boss, looked at the starting lineup he sent with complacency.With the joining of Spanish golden boy Torres, he has the confidence to compete with Crystal Palace again.

On the Crystal Palace side, of course, Chen Ran also dispatched his own main lineup.Considering that it was an away game, he also replaced Modric with Yaya Toure to strengthen his defense.

Because of Torres' joining, Chen Ran also raised Liverpool's danger level.

You must know that Torres during the Liverpool period and Torres during the Chelsea period are completely different creatures.

When he was in Liverpool, he scored a lot of goals. He scored one goal in less than two games on average with super high efficiency.

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the two teams, who were already very familiar with each other, had no intention of probing at all, and directly let go of their hands and feet and fought against each other.

No. In the 18th minute, Reina, who had just hugged Tony's header to attack the goal, threw the ball to Gerrard to initiate a fast break.

After receiving the ball, Gerrard directly sent a through ball over 30 meters with his right foot.

Torres, who came diagonally from the middle, took the ball and took advantage of Vidic's interference while dribbling the ball into the Crystal Palace penalty area.

At this time, left-back Chiellini hastily moved in to attack Torres, and goalkeeper Petr Cech also abandoned the goal, forming a three-sided encirclement of Torres.

At the moment when the encirclement was about to form, Torres flicked his right ankle and made a light shot. The ball flew over Petr Cech's head and flew towards the goal of Crystal Palace.

Thiago Silva, who rushed back and wanted to kick the ball out, was still a step too slow, and could only watch the ball roll into the Crystal Palace net in the end.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Crystal Palace trailed Liverpool 0:1.

As soon as the goal was scored, the entire Anfield stadium suddenly boiled.

All the Liverpool players rushed to Torres, hugging him in the middle and cheering.

It is not easy to lead Crystal Palace.
