Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 333 Distracted?

Still in Spain, in the Real Madrid club, Mourinho pouted helplessly.

"This time, it's for nothing, that guy Chen Ran."

"Haha, Jose, I didn't expect you to help Chen Ran, it's really surprising."

Seeing Mourinho's complex expression, the gloating Mendes couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

"No way, who made Rijkaard insist on competing with me for the La Liga championship trophy? If he voluntarily gives up, it will be fine."

Mourinho, who had figured it out, spread his hands and shrugged, looking like it was all Rijkaard's fault.

"Jose, have you noticed that your shameless look is more and more like that guy Chen Ran?"

Mendes looked at Mourinho speechlessly. In the past few years, this guy fought with Chen Ran. He didn't learn other skills, but his face became thicker and thicker.

"Have it?"

Mourinho couldn't help touching his cheek, it seemed that it was a lot rougher than before, and then he put on a broken look.

"Maybe that's how we get so many championships."

In this season's La Liga, Barcelona leads the pack with its super attack power, and the number of games won by a big score is countless.

But their tradition of strong offense and weak defense also caused them to lose some games that they should have won.

Under the leadership of Mourinho, Real Madrid played the defensive counterattack tactics to the extreme. Winning 1:0, ugly games abound.

Even under the overwhelming condemnation of Real Madrid fans, Mourinho still went his own way.

Two Western Super League teams, one crazily attacking, the other desperately defending, two diametrically opposed styles of play, collided in La Liga to create a magnificent song of ice and fire.

With the last round of matches left in La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid had the same points.

Different from the rules of the Premier League, La Liga first compares the relationship between each other when the points are the same, and then looks at the goal difference.

However, Real Madrid scored 0:0 against Barcelona at home this season, but used defensive counterattack tactics in the away game to make a sneak attack and beat Barcelona 1:0.

In this way, Real Madrid has seized the initiative in the relationship between victory and defeat.

Even if Barcelona is far ahead of Real Madrid in terms of goal difference, as long as Real Madrid wins the last game, the championship will fall into the hands of Real Madrid.

This is also an important reason why Rijkaard is frowning, but Mourinho is in the mood to discuss Chen Ran and Crystal Palace with Mendes.

On May 5, both Barcelona and Real Madrid sent all their main players.

In the end, Barcelona beat Murcia 5-0 away, while Real Madrid beat Levante 1-0 at home.

In the case of the two teams with the same points, Real Madrid once again beat Barcelona to win the La Liga championship.

After being suppressed by Chen Ran for three seasons, Mourinho, who was forced to leave Spain, finally felt proud, stepped on the head of the famous coach Frank Rijkaard and snatched the La Liga championship trophy.

Leading Real Madrid to the league championship also allowed Mourinho to prove his coaching ability once again, and effectively responded to those who questioned the remarks that he led Porto to win the championship.

While Mourinho and his players were celebrating crazily, Rijkaard had to pack up and fly to distant Russia with all Barcelona players to prepare for the upcoming Champions League final three days later.

This season's Champions League final will be played at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium.

Luzhniki Stadium, formerly known as Lenin Stadium, is the largest stadium in Russia with a capacity of more than 8 people.

As Crystal Palace continues to gain ground in Europe, it has also attracted more and more new fans from all over the world.

These fans usually can only watch Crystal Palace's games on TV or the Internet across the screen. When Crystal Palace entered the Champions League final again as the defending champion, many people wanted to go to the scene to witness the moment when the team won the cup again.

However, according to UEFA's UEFA Champions League final ticket allocation rules, among the [-] tickets sold publicly, the participating Crystal Palace and Barcelona each received only [-] tickets.

Then UEFA sells [-] tickets to the world on its official website, and the remaining tickets are sold by the organizer Luzhniki Stadium.

Tickets are divided into four tiers, the fourth tier is 70 euros, the third tier is 180 euros, the second tier is 490 euros, and the first tier is 690 euros.

If it is not a local fan in Moscow, the cost of air tickets, board and lodging, game tickets and other expenses together is not a small sum.

But even so, the supply of tickets for the Champions League final is still in short supply.

"Chen, the club's phone numbers have been blasted, and the website has also been paralyzed. They are all here to inquire about tickets for the Champions League final. What should we do now?"

Stephen found Chen Ran with a sad face. How to distribute the [-] tickets obtained by Crystal Palace still needs to be decided by Chen Ran himself.

With the Crystal Palace's record getting better and better in the past few seasons, the fan base has shown an explosive growth trend, and [-] tickets are now far from meeting the needs of the fans.

"It's really a happy trouble."

Chen Ran also shook his head with a wry smile. This kind of thing can't be sloppy, and he might be scolded to death by the fans.

"Stephen, what do you think of us taking this opportunity to launch the Crystal Palace club's own membership system? The [-] tickets for the Champions League final are only sold to members of the club."

"Membership system? It's a good idea. Those old wealthy clubs do this. Although our Crystal Palace's rise is a little short, but now the momentum is booming. There should be many people who want to become our members. At least the scene will not be too ugly. .”

Hearing Chen Ran's idea, Stephen's eyes lit up.

You must know that all football clubs that can recruit members from all over the world are the top rich clubs.

Even some second-rate strong teams dare not do this, because if no one cares about it, it will immediately become the laughing stock of the whole world.

"However, Chen, how to set the entry threshold for our membership?"

Stephen thought for a while, and then asked a new question.

"This standard must be carefully considered. It can't be too high, so that no one will be willing to join the membership; it can't be too low, so it looks like there is no grade, and it will be ridiculed by those old wealthy clubs."

"Stephen, what do you think of the membership fee of 99 euros? Let's add a jersey."

"99 euros? With a free jersey?"

Stephen lowered his head and thought about it for a long time. He really wanted to say that the membership fees of Barcelona and Real Madrid are as high as hundreds of euros. Crystal Palace not only only costs 99 euros but also comes with a jersey. Is it too low?

However, considering the background of the Crystal Palace, he swallowed these words again.

"That's right. And as long as you purchase more than 99 euros in the club's official channels every year in the future, you can continue to retain your membership."

Chen Ran said while thinking, constantly improving his thinking.

"In the future, only members of the club are eligible to purchase the package tickets for each season of the team."

"For tickets for popular games like the Champions League final, members of the club have the priority to buy tickets."

"Members have the priority to sign up for various activities held by the club."

"In the future, we can also contact our sponsors to provide some discounts to club members."

"That's all I can think of for now, Stephen, can you see if there is anything else that needs to be added?"

".Chen, are these what you just thought of?"

Stephen stared at Chen Ran with wide eyes, and was surprised again by Chen Ran's endless thoughts.

"That's right, I thought of it on the spur of the moment. There must be a lot of immaturity. Let's study it carefully when we come back."

"This is already very good. Then let's use the tickets for the Champions League final as the first shot of launching the club membership system?"

"Well, you should make the membership system stricter and don't leave any loopholes."

"Ok, I see."

However, things exceeded Chen Ran and Stephen's expectations again.

After Crystal Palace officially launched the club membership system, the club's official website, which had just been restored, was once again paralyzed.

"Chen, there are too many people applying to become members of the club. The server on the official website crashed again."

Stephen ran to report to Chen Ran profusely in sweat, but his face was grinning from ear to ear, without any sign of anger.

"Oh? It seems that our first shot has been fired?"

Chen Ran raised his eyebrows, obviously hearing Stephen's subtext.

"That's right. You bundled the tickets for the Champions League final with the club membership system. This trick is really too high!"

Unlike the chubby Louis who likes to flatter, Stephen, who is reserved and reserved, couldn't help but pat this time.

"Ahem, so-so, so-so. Stephen, don't forget to notify the business department to stock up. You must know that we will give every member a jersey as a gift."

"OMG! Chen, thanks for reminding me, I was busy dealing with the official website server just now, and I really forgot about the jersey."

Before he finished speaking, Stephen, who had just sat down, walked away in a hurry.

I have to say that Chen Ran's membership fee of 99 euros for Crystal Palace is quite attractive.

Crystal Palace's current full set of genuine jerseys, including a short-sleeved top, a pair of shorts and a pair of socks, cost 99 euros together, of which the unit price of the jersey accounts for almost half.

In this way, the membership fee of Crystal Palace is only 50 euros.Coupled with the temptation of the Champions League final tickets, and then including a series of attractive preferential conditions, the number of Crystal Palace membership applications exploded at once.

UEFA only allocated 3 tickets to the Champions League final to the Crystal Palace club, but the number of people who applied to buy it has exceeded [-], and there are even many Crystal Palace fans from China.

And this number is still increasing rapidly.

For this reason, Stephen found Chen Ran's office again.

"Chen, there are too many fans applying to buy tickets for the Champions League final. UEFA only gave us [-] tickets, which is not enough to allocate."

First I was busy formulating the rules of the club membership system, and now I am busy applying for membership and selling tickets for the Champions League final.

Because of Chen Ran's new idea, Stephen has been very busy these days.

"It's expected that there won't be enough tickets. Stephen, you don't need to worry. In this way, you can contact the major media and say that we are going to hold a lottery ceremony to draw out the lucky ones who are eligible to buy tickets for the Champions League final."

"Eh, that's okay too?"

Stephen looked at Chen Ran stupidly, and was surprised by his whimsy again.

It's just selling tickets. As for such a big battle?

"Why not? Isn't this a good opportunity to promote our Crystal Palace club?"

Chen Ran looked at Stephen in surprise, he just moved the bad lottery method in China to England in his previous life.This guy has been with me for so long, why is he still making such a fuss?

"ok, I get it."

Stephen, who works vigorously and resolutely, sent invitation letters to major media in England that day.

On the second day, he personally presided over the entire lottery drawing ceremony at the Crystal Palace Club.

Not only all the major print media were present, but even Sky TV broadcast the whole lottery drawing ceremony live.

All of a sudden, the Crystal Palace club once again became the focus of the media.

"The Champions League final is about to start soon, and he still has the mind to engage in such sensational things? That Chinese man is simply not doing his job properly!"

"It's launching a membership system again, and drawing lots to sell tickets for the Champions League final. That Chinese man put all his thoughts on how to make money. This is not good news for Crystal Palace, which is about to participate in the Champions League final."

"The Chinese man is walking a tightrope now. It's okay if Crystal Palace can successfully defend the Champions League. Once they lose to Barcelona, ​​then the things he is doing now will become the material for people to criticize."

"According to the latest data from the gambling company, when the Crystal Palace club held the UEFA Champions League final ticket draw ceremony, the odds that were originally ahead of Barcelona have now been successfully overtaken by Barcelona."

"It's amazing. An ordinary Champions League final was played by that guy Chen Ran."

After winning the La Liga championship, Mourinho, who was completely relaxed, sat with Mendes with great interest and gave advice.

"Hehe, Jose, this is the difference between you and Chen Ran. You are just a simple football coach, but he is the owner of a club, so the two of you have very different perspectives on things."

Nothing to do, Mendez took a leisurely puff on his cigar.

"However, I think what the media said makes sense. That guy Chen Ran was distracted before the Champions League final. This is obviously not good for Crystal Palace's prospects of winning the championship."

Mourinho curled his lips and argued a little unconvinced.

"How do you know Chen Ran is distracted?"

Through the smoke of the cigar, Mendes glanced faintly at Mourinho.
