Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 316 That Swiss bald head?

"There are no additional penalties?"

Hearing the news from Louis, Chen Ran couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, Chen, should we find Stephen's father about this matter?"

The little fat man was also full of displeasure, and gave Chen Ran an idea.

"No."

Chen Ran thought for a while before denying the little fat man's suggestion.

Although the Marquis of Bath promised to back him up, things like favors always get worse the more you use them.
less.

If you bother the Marquis of Bath with everything, then the other party will soon have feelings for him.

Boredom.

In case of a big trouble in the future, it's hard to say whether the other party is willing to help.

"Louis, luckily Ronaldo is fine. We'll handle this matter ourselves, so we won't bother Stephen and his father. The Marquis of Bath is our trump card, so don't use it until the critical moment. Do you understand?"

"It's true, I understand. Chen, what are you going to do about this matter?"

"We have a multi-pronged approach. On the one hand, we lodge a complaint with the FA through official channels; on the other hand, you go to contact those sailors to question the FA's decision not to impose additional penalties on Carragher. Build momentum."

"Er Chen, I don't think there is any way to change the decision of the big masters of the FA. I even suspect that the big masters of the FA will not go online at all."

Hearing Chen Ran's idea, the little fat man scratched his head, obviously not optimistic about it.

"I know. The main purpose of Carragher's action was actually to clear the siege, not for Ronaldo."

"So the FA always imposes additional penalties, just ambiguous. In addition, Ronaldo is fine. This is also an important reason why I do not agree to alarm the Marquis of Bath."

"However, after all, it is our own players who have suffered, so to support Ronaldo, we must do what should be done. You can't chill the players who work hard for the team, understand?"

"So, I understand. Chen, what you mean is that even if we know that the FA's penalty will not be changed in the end, we must make clear the attitude of the club, which is to always stand with the players."

After listening to Chen Ran's analysis, the little fat man slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing.

"Now that you understand what I mean, what are you still doing here? Why don't you hurry up and do something?"

"I'm going, Chen, you've really changed, you've become a qualified capitalist now."

"roll!"

After assigning tasks to the little fat man, Chen Ran went to the hospital to visit Ronaldo and Thiago Silva respectively, and got a more accurate diagnosis from the doctor.

Ronaldo is indeed fine, but for safety reasons, at least two weeks of rest and observation are required.

On Thiago Silva's side, it will take at least one and a half months before he can play again.

After using a "Level [-] Recovery Card" for Ronaldo and Thiago Silva respectively, Chen Ran glanced at the system inventory speechlessly.

There are still various other cards left, but the "Level [-] Recovery Card" has been completely consumed.

If it is not replenished in time, if any player is injured, he will have to recover slowly.

Only two days after the last game, on January 1, Crystal Palace ushered in the No.1 round of the Premier League. This time they are going to challenge Bolton away.

As the fourth of five games in thirteen days, the Crystal Palace players at this time, whether they are the main players or the substitutes, are a bit exhausted, coupled with the increasing number of injuries.

In desperation, Chen Ran had no choice but to formulate the starting lineup based on the player's physical monitoring reports given by the team doctor and physical coach.

He doesn't want to add new names to Crystal Palace's injury list because of fatigue.

In the end, with the goals of Beckham and Dzeko, Crystal Palace defeated Bolton 2:1 in the away game.

While scoring the crucial three-pointer, Chen Ran also got the "Level [-] Recovery Card" that he most urgently needs now from the system.

In the other games of this round of the Premier League, Chelsea also narrowly beat Fulham 2:1, and Manchester United beat Birmingham 1:0 at Old Trafford.

Arsenal easily won West Ham United 2-0 at home, while Liverpool were drawn 1-1 by Wigan Athletic at Anfield.

After the No.20 round of the Premier League, although Crystal Palace is still at the top of the standings, Chelsea and Manchester United are still clinging to the two-point gap, and the championship situation is extremely anxious.

After three days of rest, Crystal Palace ushered in the last game of the Premier League Christmas Devil schedule, the third round of the FA Cup.

This time, Crystal Palace will host the Championship team Sheffield Wednesday.

Given the current physical condition of the Crystal Palace players, Chen Ran naturally chose to give up the FA Cup match.

For this reason, Chen Ran dispatched a full substitute lineup to play.

However, the head coach of Sheffield Wednesday probably saw that his opponent was the powerful Crystal Palace, so he also chose to give up this game and sent a starting lineup of substitutes and young players.

In the end, Crystal Palace not only did not fail to be eliminated, but instead relied on goals from Dzeko, Cavani, Pepe, Fabregas, Evra and Alves to beat Sheffield Wednesday with a score of 6:1.

After successfully advancing to the fourth round of the FA, Chen Ran once again got a "Level [-] Rehab Card" from the system.

So far, the Premier League Christmas Devil's schedule has finally come to an end, and it is about to usher in a ten-day rest period, which also makes the Crystal Palace breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Ran gave the players three days off, but he himself did not have this blessing.

Because, Stephen blocked him in the office again.

"Chen, the latest news is that G14, UEFA and FIFA have reached an agreement."

"G14 will probably be formally disbanded in February. The exchange condition is: as long as the players recruited by the national team are injured, they must pay compensation to the player's club. The total compensation is as high as 2.52 million U.S. dollars."

"In addition, Chen, it is the same as your judgment. After G14 is disbanded, a new European Club Association will be established to replace it."

Stephen told all the heavy news he just got in one breath, and the development of the matter was completely within Chen Ran's prediction, which made Stephen excited and excited.

"Oh? Finally a result? Stephen, did you follow the plan I made?"

Seeing that things were still developing according to the trajectory of his previous life, Chen Ran suddenly had a bottom line in his heart, and looked up at Stephen.

"Chen, don't worry, after UEFA President Platini's representative, UEFA Secretary-General David Taylor announced the establishment of the European Club Association, I immediately found David Taylor and expressed to him Crystal Palace would like to sign up for the European Club Association."

"Oh? What's the reaction of that David Taylor?" Chen Ran asked with a bit of mischief.

"Surprised, very surprised! Haha, I guess he definitely didn't expect to be the first Crystal Palace to sign up for the European Club Association."

Seemingly recalling David Taylor's expression at that time, Stephen couldn't help laughing.

"Well, Stephen, you have done a good job. I believe that David Taylor will definitely mention the attitude of our Crystal Palace to Platini after he returns. It is enough to achieve this effect."

"Chen, do you think we should take this opportunity to get closer to UEFA President Michel Platini?"

Having said that, Stephen winked at Chen Ran.

As a good friend for many years, Chen Ran immediately understood what Stephen meant.

However, Chen Ran, who was reborn, knew very well that Platini's ass was not clean, and he was later arrested and sentenced for accepting bribes.

Shaking his head slightly, Chen Ran decisively rejected Stephen's suggestion.

Of course, he can't directly say that Platini will be arrested in the future, and getting too close to him might drag down the Crystal Palace club.

"Platini is now the president of UEFA. He has a high position and authority. There are many wealthy clubs who want to have a good relationship with him. He may not necessarily like our Crystal Palace."

"I am more optimistic about Infantino, who is currently in charge of UEFA legal affairs and club affairs. Stephen, if you have the opportunity, you can walk around with him more."

"Infantino? That Swiss bald head?"

During the negotiations between UEFA and G14, Infantino, as the head of UEFA legal affairs and club affairs, of course participated in the whole process, so Stephen is no stranger to him.

However, Stephen never expected that Chen Ran would be optimistic about this guy.

After all, the current Infantino is neither UEFA President nor UEFA Secretary-General. Apart from having a brighter head, he is not too conspicuous.

"That's right, it's the Swiss bald head. Maybe this guy will be the president of FIFA in the future."

"Er Chen, are you so optimistic about him?" Stephen looked at Chen Ran differently.

"Very promising."

"alright, I got it."

Hearing Chen Ran's affirmative answer, Stephen nodded and said nothing.

As a good friend for many years, Chen Ran's judgment has never been wrong, which also makes Stephen and others have a kind of blind trust in Chen Ran.

Even though they might not have agreed or understood Chen Ran's decision at the time, they would still resolutely implement the plan formulated by Chen Ran.

After about ten days of rest, Crystal Palace ushered in the No.20 second round of the Premier League.This time, they will sit at home against Wigan Athletic.

Crystal Palace, who played with the full main lineup, did not give Wigan Athletic any chance.

With goals from Toni, Ribery and Modric, Crystal Palace easily won Wigan Athletic 3-1 at home.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level One Blood Card" from the system.

In the other games of this round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, and Manchester United beat Newcastle United 6-0 at Old Trafford.

Arsenal and Liverpool were drawn 1-1 by Birmingham and Middlesbrough respectively.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United broke out with amazing fighting power, holding on to the two-point gap, and no one was left behind.

A week later, in the No.20 third round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace went to an away game against Portsmouth this time. Chen Ran sent a starting lineup consisting of most of the main players and a small number of substitute players.

With goals from Toni, Messi and Cesc Fabregas, Crystal Palace beat Portsmouth 3-1 away.

The most gratifying thing is that Ronaldo played for more than ten minutes at the end of the game and recovered well.

Originally, Ronaldo was able to play in the last round of the Premier League, but for safety reasons, Chen Ran still held his hand and dragged it back for another week.

However, in addition to the good news of Ronaldo's return from injury, there is also a bad news, that is, Crystal Palace's appeal for additional punishment for Carragher's foul on Ronaldo was rejected.

Obviously, the things that Chen Ran arranged for the little fat man to do, obviously did not make the big bosses of the FA change their decisions.

Chen Ran was mentally prepared for this.

Moreover, his real purpose has actually been achieved.

Because Chen Ran had already told Ronaldo all about his plan and what he had arranged for Louis to do.

Even, he even told Ronaldo that there might be no way to change the decision of the FA in the end.

And all of this has further strengthened Ronaldo's sense of belonging to the club.

When Ronaldo told his agent Mendes about these things, Mendes, who had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, immediately understood Chen Ran's true purpose.

However, he didn't reveal Chen Ran's real intention of doing this, but he just rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, and put a heavy mark on Chen Ran's little fox label.

Just this weekend, the results of the UEFA Champions League knockout draw have also come out. Crystal Palace's opponent for the quarter-finals is the top Serie A team Roma.

Before the start of this season, Roma also introduced many powerful players.

They spent 750 million euros to introduce Montenegro striker Vucinic from Lecce, and bought Brazilian central defender Juan from Leverkusen for 670 million euros.

It cost 320 million euros to introduce French winger Giuly from Barcelona, ​​and bought Italian striker Esposito from Cagliari for 370 million euros.

Coupled with the original Totti, De Rossi, Perrotta, Mancini, Mequez, Panucci, Cicinho, Ferrari and Aquilani and other stars in the team, the strength should not be underestimated .

Coach Spalletti is also a tough guy.

However, Chen Ran can't take care of all this for the time being.

Because they ushered in the No.20 four rounds of the Premier League, this time, Crystal Palace will sit at home to meet the challenge of Manchester City.

Originally, this was just an ordinary Premier League game.

Manchester City at this time is not the Manchester City that dominated the Premier League in the previous life.

However, in such an ordinary game, a group of mysterious Arabs appeared in a box at the Highbury Stadium
