Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 34
Under Chen Ran's set of combined punches, Fabregas' repurchase price became 540 million euros, Pique's was 450 million euros, and the other three were also above one million euros. The price has doubled tenfold.

Chen Ran was very satisfied with this.

After the two parties formally signed the contract, Chen Ran shook Laporta's hand with a smile.

"Mr. Laporta, don't be so sad. Our cooperation this time has solved the big trouble that has been plaguing Barcelona. As long as you need it, we can continue this cooperation every year."

This guy Chen Ran ate what was in the bowl, but he still didn't forget to look at what was in the pot.

La Masia is a gold mine, although until 2022, there will never be any talents beyond this class.But the overall level is still very high, more than enough to be used as a substitute.Anyway, it's prostitution for nothing, don't do it for nothing.

"Hehe, let's see how this cooperation works before we talk about the future."

Laporta shook Chen Ran's hand and said angrily.

This kid is not a good thing either, no better than those British guys.

Laporta, who was brutally slaughtered by Chen Ran, was very unhappy, and now the more he looked at Chen Ran, the more displeased he was.

"The work of the five players Fabregas and Pique will be troubled by your Barcelona club. There are still games on the weekend, and I have to rush back to direct the team. I will leave Luiz and the legal team here to fully cooperate. you."

"Since Mr. Chen is busy, I won't waste your time. I will send someone to deal with this matter, and your people will just wait to sign the contract."

Laporta didn't want to see Chen Ran for another minute, so he left immediately.

Chen Ran took advantage, so of course he didn't care about these details.

Could it be that others are not allowed to be angry when they have suffered a dull loss?
You can't go too far as a human being.

In fact, if Laporta knows the achievements of Cesc Fabregas and Pique in the future, he will definitely not think the current repurchase price is high.

You know, when Cesc Fabregas returned to Barcelona from Arsenal in his previous life, the transfer fee was as high as 4000 million euros, which was 2011 million euros in 4000.

Chen Ran's wishful thinking is to set the repurchase price as high as possible, so that Barcelona will feel that it is not worthwhile to spend 540 million euros to repurchase the 18-year-old Cesc Fabregas after two years.

Back at the hotel, regardless of celebrating the victory of the negotiation, Chen Ran started to pack his luggage and prepare to rush back to London.

"Luis, I'm flying back to London today. Your job here is to make sure Cesc Fabregas and Pique sign the contract to join us at Crystal Palace. Do you understand?"

"Understood. Chen, don't worry, I can leave this little matter to me."

The little fat man patted his plump chest tremblingly, and promised with full confidence.

"You must not be careless. Cesc Fabregas and Arsenal have been in contact for a long time, and they may sign a contract at any time. Don't let your guard down because you think there is a Barcelona club to do the work."

"Understood. But, what should I do if I encounter Arsenal robbing people?"

"Get to Fabregas's family first, and tell them that Crystal Palace can guarantee Cesc Fabregas' playing time. In addition, the signing fee can also be paid more. If it is not enough, hold him back and let him not sign, wait for my command Fly over after the game."

"Ok."

After securing the Barcelona club, Chen Ran flew back to London overnight.

No way, there is still a fourth round match against Sheffield United on the weekend.Fortunately, this time it is Crystal Palace's home game, so there are not as many things to prepare as for away games.

After the three rounds of the league, Crystal Palace topped the English Championship, while their next opponent, Sheffield United, is currently only ranked tenth.From top to bottom, the team is full of confidence in winning Sheffield United.

Chen Ran rushed back to the team the day before the game, and the three assistant coaches on the training ground led the team to practice tactics as usual.

There were cheers and laughter on the court from time to time, and the three-game winning streak made the players feel good and have high morale.

Chen Ran stood on the sidelines and watched the whole process. Now that the team is on the right track, his intervention in training has become less and less.

"In the past few days when I was away, did the team have any problems? How are the players? Are there any injuries? Are any players in a bad mood?"

After the training, Chen Ran had a small meeting with the three assistant coaches as usual.

"Don't worry, the boss, there is no problem, everything is very good."

Southgate, as an assistant coach and team captain, is also an England international. He is usually the one who speaks back and forth on behalf of the three.

Seeing Southgate's complacent look, Chen Ran frowned slightly.

Why do you feel that this guy is a little floating?

It seems that the team has won three consecutive victories, coupled with the continuous touting by the outside media, even a veteran like Southgate has been greatly affected.

Isn't the whole team in this state?

Chen Ran looked worriedly at Simeone and Guardiola next to him.

One of these two guys still had that tough guy face with no expression, and the other was in a daze.

daze?

Damn, Guardiola was distracted, he wasn't listening to himself at all.

"Josep?"

"Josep?"

Seeing that Chen Ran called Guardiola twice, but he didn't respond for a long time, Simeone hastily stabbed Guardiola's arm.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Simeone worked hard, and Guardiola only reacted.

"what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, boss, I'm thinking that there are articles touting our Crystal Palace everywhere in the media recently, which makes me have a bad feeling."

"This is what the media is like. As long as a team is doing well, you can see the praise every day. Josep, you just came to the UK and you probably don't know what the media is like here. Those guys rely on this for a living , whoever gets popular will write about it.”

Southgate didn't take it seriously when he heard Guardiola's worries.

He, a native Englishman, knows all about the virtues of the English media.

"Gareth, in fact, in Spain, the media's approach is similar to that in the UK. When I was in Barcelona, ​​as long as the results were good, the media would start touting them. But when it's everywhere, it won't be long before we will Lose."

Guardiola said without worry.

"Really? Such an exaggeration?"

Southgate's eyes widened, looking at Guardiola with some disbelief.

No way, although Southgate is an England international, he has always played for small and medium clubs. Where has he ever been touted by the media every day?
Even if it is the England national team, how many years has it been since they won a major championship?
The closest to the championship was when Southgate was the head coach in the previous life in 2020 and won the European Cup runner-up.

It's no wonder that Southgate feels a little flustered when he is touted by the media now. Where has he seen such a scene at this time?
