Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 326
To everyone's surprise, the FA's work efficiency this time was surprisingly high.

Just three days after the end of the game between Crystal Palace and Manchester United, the results of the additional penalty for Pepe came out.

Suspended for eight games and fined £15.

"FxxxK! Chen, you really expected it. These guys are really ruthless. Suspended for eight games and fined 15 pounds. This is already the heaviest fine ever issued by the FA."

When he saw the result of the FA's penalty, Little Fatty Lewis exploded on the spot.

"It's really a good calculation. There are only eight rounds left in the Premier League. This means that we will never have a serious central defender to use in the next league."

Seeing the result of this punishment, Chen Ran's face turned ashen.

He originally planned to settle the matter and accept the punishment, but some people push their boundaries, so don't blame him for being rude.

"Louis, you immediately contact those familiar media reporters to raise doubts about the biggest fine in the history of the FA. The punishment is too heavy."

"Especially the eight-game suspension, which coincides with the remaining eight rounds of the Premier League. You let them seize this point and attack, implying that our competitors are colluding with the FA officials and do not want us to continue to defend the Premier League with Crystal Palace. League champions."

"In addition, those cyber trolls under Ni have also mobilized. Both online and offline, traditional media and new media are mobilized together. Spend the money that should be spent, don't feel bad about money, understand?"

"Okay. However, Chen, if it's just a public opinion war, those FA bosses may not change the punishment result."

Through these years of contact, the little fat man has a clear understanding of the virtues of the FA officials.

"Hehe, Louis, have you forgotten our cards?"

Chen Ran gave the little fat man a meaningful look, "The public opinion war is just an appetizer, don't worry, the main course is coming, you just wait and see the show."

"clear."

After dismissing little fat Louis, Chen Ran called Stephen to the office again.

"Stephen, in the name of the Crystal Palace Club, you have mentioned the above to the FA for the additional penalty imposed on Pepe. Then, how about you accompany me to see your father?"

"no problem."

Early the next morning, when many England fans opened newspapers and magazines, they found reports about Crystal Palace and Pepe, and their positions suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

"The biggest fine in the history of the FA, is the sentence too heavy?"

"It is undeniable that Pepe's behavior did violate sportsmanship, but is it really serious enough to require an eight-game suspension?"

"If Pepe's eight-match suspension is correct, does that mean that the FA's previous punishments for similar incidents have all been too lenient?"

"As we all know, Crystal Palace has been plagued by injuries this season, especially the serious lack of people in the defense. When there are only eight rounds left in the Premier League, the FA suspended Pepe for an additional eight games. There are two central defenders in all the Premier League games, which can't help but make people imagine."

"The most direct beneficiaries of the FA's additional punishment for Pepe are Manchester United and Chelsea. Doesn't the FA not want to see Crystal Palace continue to defend the Premier League title?"

"I hope the FA will not be disturbed too much by off-field factors. We want to see more pure football."

These days, many media reporters in England can be said to be in pain and happiness.Although everyone was very busy, their purses did bulge a lot.

First, because Crystal Palace defeated Manchester United in a key battle, they were busy correcting the mistakes of looking down on Crystal Palace before the game and flattering Crystal Palace.

Immediately afterwards, they all received a big order, and began to stare at Pepe's foul and chased after Crystal Palace. It was really faster than turning over the book.

Then, a more dramatic scene appeared.

Under the direct intervention of various media executives, they received another big order with completely opposite requirements, and began to complain for Crystal Palace, questioning the FA's biggest fine in history.

This time, fans all over England were dumbfounded.

Damn, the same media has repeatedly jumped around in just a few days, publishing many articles with completely opposite positions, and it is not afraid of schizophrenia.

And the FA once again exploded with jaw-dropping efficiency.

The FA responded to the complaint raised by Crystal Palace ahead of the start of a new round of Premier League football at the weekend.

The previous suspension of Pepe for eight games and a fine of 15 pounds was withdrawn, but it was changed to a suspension of three games and a fine of 6 pounds.

Manchester United Club, Ferguson's office.

CEO Ed Woodward and Ferguson looked at each other, and the air pressure in the room was frighteningly low.

"Sir Ferguson, what's wrong with the FA? Can the fines already issued be changed? Isn't this slapping yourself in the face?"

Ed Woodward looked at Ferguson with an expression of disbelief.

"Someone from above has spoken, even if it is a slap in the face, the FA can only recognize it."

Ferguson curled his lips helplessly, and fought against that Huaguo boy several times, but in the end he was suppressed by his backer.

This kid is really cunning, he has prepared a trump card for himself in advance, he is really unwilling.

"Is it still the Marquess of Bath?"

Ed Woodward asked in a low voice.

In fact, Ed Woodward thanked the Marquis of Bath before. Without him, David Gill would not have been poached by Chen Ran, and he would not have been able to sit on the CEO seat of Manchester United so quickly.

However, now when he and Chen Ran and the Crystal Palace club face to face, the feeling is completely different.

"That's right. Otherwise, even if that Huaguo kid is willing to spend money to manipulate public opinion, it will be difficult to influence the FA's decision."

"Then let's forget it this time?" Ed Woodward was still a little unwilling.

"if not?"

Ferguson glared at Ed Woodward angrily, and then said a few words to comfort him.

"While Pepe's suspension has changed from eight games to three, the fact that Crystal Palace is plagued by injuries has not changed anything."

"Now we just have to wait patiently, and sooner or later they will not be able to hold on to the collapse."

"Wait?"

Ed Woodward secretly rolled his eyes.

"I hope so."

On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran couldn't help but celebrate a little when he learned that the FA had changed their decision on additional penalties.

However, just as Ferguson said, Crystal Palace's injuries are still serious, and Chen Ran has to rack his brains for the formation of the next game.

On March 3, in the No.22 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace went back to challenge Middlesbrough this time.

Fortunately, this opponent is not very strong and does not pose too much threat to the central defender combination temporarily formed by Thiago Silva and Mascherano.

In the end, with goals from Tony, Ronaldo and Beckham, Crystal Palace defeated Middlesbrough 3-1 away.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level [-] Recovery Card" from the system.

In the other games of this round of the Premier League, there are still two highlights of the strong dialogue.

They are Manchester United's double red meeting against Liverpool at Old Trafford, and Chelsea's city battle against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Chen Ran originally hoped that Liverpool and Arsenal could compete and help Crystal Palace expand their lead.

The result is obviously that he thought too much. Manchester United won Liverpool 3-0 cleanly at home, and Chelsea also beat Arsenal 2-1 at home.

The two teams did not allow the point gap to continue to widen, and they were still five and six points behind Crystal Palace, ranking second and third.

In the following week, the semi-finals of the Champions League will start again.

It's not that enemies don't get together. Crystal Palace's opponent this time is the powerful Real Madrid led by Chen Ran's old friend Jose Mourinho.

Crystal Palace has a slight advantage in the scheduling of the match.

This season, facing Rijkaard, Ibrahimovic is the center forward, Henry is the left winger, Eto'o is the right winger, and Ronaldinho has super attacking power as the attacking midfielder. In Barcelona, ​​Mourinho's life is not easy.

Fortunately, with the foundation laid by Capello last season and after cleaning up a large number of superstars who have declined, Mourinho can play lightly this season and formulate the team's tactics according to his own ideas.

So far, although Barcelona has swept the entire La Liga with its super attacking power, Real Madrid still maintains the hope of competing for the league title relying on the solid defense built by Mourinho.

For Mourinho, an old opponent, Chen Ran never underestimated.

What's more, the current situation of Crystal Palace is not very good, so in order to prepare for the Champions League match against Real Madrid in the middle of the week, Chen Ran sent a large number of substitute players in the weekend Premier League.

On March 3, in the No.29 second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace played against Fulham at home.

With goals from Cavani, Cesc Fabregas and Dani Alves, Crystal Palace beat Fulham 3-2 at home.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level [-] Sight Card" from the system.

In the other matches of this round of the Premier League, Manchester United beat Aston Villa 4-0 at Old Trafford, and Chelsea beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Both teams have scored three points and are still clinging to Crystal Palace.

The day after the Premier League game, Chen Ran took the team to Madrid, Spain.

Spain, Real Madrid Club, in Mourinho's office, he and his agent Mendes are also chatting about Crystal Palace.

Although he has left the Premier League, Mourinho is still paying attention to the news of the eternal pain in his heart-the Crystal Palace Club and the Chinese.

"Jorge, judging from various sources, the current situation of Crystal Palace is not very good."

For some reason, Mourinho couldn't help but feel happy seeing that Chinese man in trouble.

"It's not very good. The injury problem of Crystal Palace this season is very serious, and the current defense line is patchwork. But even so, Crystal Palace can still rank in the Premier League with a five-point advantage over No.2 Manchester United. At the top of the list, Chen Ran is really amazing."

Mendes took a leisurely puff of his cigar and looked at Mourinho with a smile.

Hearing Mendes' answer, Mourinho's face darkened suddenly, and his good mood immediately DOWN.

"Jorge, I understand what you mean. I won't take it lightly just because the Crystal Palace is not in good shape. I know that guy Chen Ran better than anyone else."

As a friend and partner for many years, Mourinho knows why Mendes has poured cold water on him.

"Haha, of course I know you won't take it lightly, I'm just a small reminder."

Mourinho pouted secretly, I believe you are a ghost.

"I heard that old fox Ferguson tricked Chen Ran again a while ago?"

Because he is far away from England now, Mourinho's news is not very well-informed, but this does not reduce his enthusiasm for gossip about Chen Ran.

"That's right. But as before, Ferguson didn't take advantage of it, and was beaten back by Chen Ran."

"Didn't you hear that Pepe was suspended for an additional three games?"

"Hehe, the FA has been reduced from eight games to three. The FA has changed the order day and night, and slapped itself in the face. You say, let the big bosses of the FA lose so much face, can you give Ferguson a good look at the instigator?"

"Maybe, after this incident, the relationship between Ferguson and his old friends who work in the FA will probably weaken a lot. It's hard to say whether they will be willing to help if there is another matter in the future." gone."

Mendez was smoking a cigar leisurely while pointing Jiangshan.

Mendes also admired Chen Ran, who was able to hold down Ferguson, the king of England, and couldn't hold his head up.

He always remembered that he was blocked by Ferguson because he helped Ronaldo transfer to Crystal Palace.

Just like what Mourinho and Mendes said, he will never let up in the fight against Chen Ran.

Although Real Madrid has been overwhelmed by Barcelona, ​​which has super offensive power, this season, the championship situation in La Liga is not very good.

But in the face of the Crystal Palace game, Mourinho did not have any reservations, and still ranked the strongest starting lineup.

Left winger Arjen Robben, center forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, right winger Raul

Central midfielder Baptista, Central midfielder Sneijder, Central midfielder Diarra
Left back Marcelo, center back Cannavaro, center back Metzelder, right back Ramos

goalkeeper casillas

On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran once again dispatched a no-front formation that worked well.

Left midfielder Ronaldo, midfielder Kaka, right midfielder Messi
DM Vieira, DM Modric, DM Yaya Toure
Left back Evra, center back Thiago Silva, center back Pepe, right back Maicon
