Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 355 New London Landmark

"Chen, this is the list of players who contacted me recently."

Fatty Louis put a list in front of Chen Ran with a smile.

As the Crystal Palace club flourished, so did his sports manager.

Now he is supported by a group of agents and players all day long, and even when he goes to a nightclub, there are people rushing to pay for the treats.

In addition, he followed Chen Ran to leave the stock market from a high position ahead of time, earning a lot of money, and his small life was not to mention how comfortable it was.

"How much benefit did you receive?"

Picking up the list, Chen Ran glanced at Little Fatty Louis with a half-smile.

"Slander, this is definitely slander!"

As soon as Chen Ran finished speaking, Little Fatty Louis immediately yelled as if his tail had been stepped on.

Chen Ran didn't like this, and didn't say anything, just looked at little fat Louis quietly.

"Well, they just invited me to eat and drink, and I didn't take any money. Besides, they can't afford big money, and I don't like small money."

Seeing that there was no way to get away with it, Fatty Louis finally had to tell the truth.

"That's true."

Chen Ran nodded slightly. With Louis' current net worth, he really didn't like ordinary small money.

"Chen, don't worry, I just promised to put the names of those agents' players in this list. As for whether you are interested in introducing them, I have not made any promises."

"Well, that's about the same."

After tapping little fat boy Louis, Chen Ran focused on the player list.

Good guy, I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.

The general situation of nearly [-] players is eloquently registered on the list, and these people are not unknown people. Does the Crystal Palace Club have such a strong attraction now?

Chen Ran was particularly surprised that he saw the name of Spain's golden boy, Liverpool's head striker Torres in this list.

You must know that Torres just joined Liverpool at a sky-high price last season, and scored 24 goals for Liverpool in the first season, which is a very good performance.

According to common sense, he shouldn't want to transfer now. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Pointing to Torres' name with his finger, Chen Ran turned to look at the little fat boy Louis.

"Luis, what's the matter with Torres? He performed very well in Liverpool last season, and he wants to transfer?"

"Oh, you said Torres, I asked his agent the same way before. According to his agent, Liverpool is now completely relying on debt to maintain the club's operations, and may go bankrupt at any time. He is afraid of affecting Torres' future, so Wanted to get out before Liverpool collapsed."

"The Liverpool club is also willing to let Torres go? He scored 24 goals last season."

"Chen, the two American owners of Liverpool can't protect themselves now, how can they care about the Liverpool club?"

"Their attitude is very clear now, if someone is willing to pay a high price, they will sell Torres and cash out."

"Even they have prepared a replacement for Torres, they have bought Irish striker Robbie Keane from Tottenham Hotspur."

"How is it? Chen, are you interested in Torres?"

When it came to the transfer, Little Fatty Louis' eyes lit up.

"What price did Liverpool set for Torres?"

"6000 euros."

"."

Upon hearing the price, Chen Ran immediately lost interest.

As a reborn, he is quite familiar with Torres' situation.

In his previous life, Torres performed very well in Liverpool, and later sold him to Chelsea at a high price because of Liverpool's heavy debts.

But Torres, who arrived at Chelsea, seemed to be a different person, and his performance plummeted, making Chelsea once again taken advantage of.

With this lesson learned from the past, Chen Ran is still willing to give it a try if the price is not high, and forget about 6000 million euros.

"Too expensive, not worth it and we have no shortage of strikers."

After resolutely rejecting Little Fatty Louis, Chen Ran continued to look at the list in his hand.

However, after comparing with the existing players in the Crystal Palace team, Chen Ran found that there were really no players who could arouse his interest in acquiring them.

Under Louis's hopeful eyes, Chen Ran returned the list to him.

"Besides Torres, there is no need to waste money if there are no players who can play as the main players in the current Crystal Palace."

"Chen, you didn't like any of them?"

"What do you say?"

As the players in the team signed contract extensions one by one, the entire Crystal Palace club also concentrated on starting the preparations for the new season.

The annual International Champions Cup is also going on as scheduled, but affected by the financial tsunami, the attendance rate of this year's International Champions Cup is not ideal.Correspondingly, the income of the entire International Champions Cup has also been greatly reduced.

Fortunately, the "Emirates" Cup friendly match sponsored by Emirates Airlines gave Crystal Palace an extra income, which can be regarded as making up for it.

At the request of Emirates, a large number of Emirates flight attendants were used as masters of ceremonies at the opening ceremony of the new Crystal Palace stadium "Emirates".

These beautiful girls with super good looks, paired with the beautiful new Crystal Palace stadium under the light, make people feel as if they really entered the palace.

In order to achieve the best publicity effect, Emirates Airlines invited VIPs from all over the world.

Even the rights to broadcast the match between Crystal Palace and Arsenal in the Emirates Cup friendly match as part of the opening ceremony were given to major TV stations around the world for free.

All of a sudden, hundreds of millions of fans from all over the world saw the glittering, palace-like new stadium of Crystal Palace on TV.

"OMG! Is this still a football field?"

"beautiful!"

"If no one told me, I would really have thought it was a palace."

"It really looks like a palace made of crystal!"

"The Crystal Palace Stadium of the Crystal Palace Club is indeed worthy of the name."

"If I travel to London in the future, I will definitely go to this new stadium of Crystal Palace to watch a game."

"Being able to play here must be a kind of enjoyment for the players."

"Only the Crystal Palace Club, the strongest team in the world, can deserve such a beautiful new stadium."

During the period when Crystal Palace built the new stadium, Arsenal leased their own stadium to Crystal Palace.

In order to express his gratitude to Arsenal, Chen Ran also specially invited Arsenal to participate in this "Emirates" Cup friendly match, which can be regarded as helping them increase their income.

"It's a beautiful stadium."

"Yeah, better than our Highbury stadium."

"It's only been a few years, and the Crystal Palace has already left us far behind."

"That's right, not only the results are not as good as them, but even the stadium is not as good as them."

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let the boss hear you."

Hearing the comments from the Arsenal players, Wenger smiled helplessly. Is he such a stingy person?
However, this stadium is really beautiful.

The interior is okay, although the facilities are very luxurious, but it still looks like a football field after all.

If you only look at the exterior of this stadium, it is really a veritable Crystal Palace.

Presumably this stadium will definitely become a new landmark in London in the future.

Not only the players of Wenger and Arsenal, but also the journalists from various media who were invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the new Crystal Palace stadium that day were also stunned by the beauty of the stadium.

Especially after nightfall, all the lights around the stadium are turned on.

After careful design, when the lights of different color combinations shine on the surface of the fiberglass structure one after another, it is like a light show, which is particularly dazzling under the night sky of London.

That night, the entire Crystal Palace's new stadium was besieged.

Not only fans of Crystal Palace, but also a large number of London citizens and tourists from all over the world came to see the news.

The onlookers who gathered outside the stadium to watch the light show for a long time and were unwilling to leave, coupled with the [-] fans and spectators who were fully seated in the stadium, made the London Police Department in charge of security feel like a big enemy, so they could only continuously send more people. Maintain order.

Among the crowd watching outside the stadium, there are some tourists from China.Among them, fans of Crystal Palace took photos of the grand occasion of the night and uploaded them to the Post Bar of Crystal Palace in real time.

"I'll go, is this the new stadium of the long-rumored Crystal Palace? It's so beautiful!"

"Where is this stadium? This is clearly a palace made of crystal."

"Haha, the upstairs is called the Crystal Palace, so it's worthy of the name."

"The chicken is really awesome! When I first saw the blueprint of this stadium, I was shocked enough. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful after it is built."

"I think the word "beautiful" is not enough to describe this stadium, it should be "dreamy"."

"That's right, I support the view upstairs. At night, with a dozen lights, it is indeed a dream."

"Damn it, this makes me want to fly to London immediately to watch a Crystal Palace game in this new stadium."

"Who said it wasn't? If the guy has repaired the stadium so exaggeratedly, he must want everyone to watch the game so that he can earn more ticket money."

"I'll go, maybe it's really like this, but this guy is really bad."

"Haha, upstairs, do you want to go to watch the game?"

"miss you!"

2008年8月16日，2008-2009赛季的英超联赛正式开始。

In the first round, Crystal Palace will face Fulham at home.

Not counting the "Emirates" Cup friendly, this will be Crystal Palace's first official game at the new stadium.

For this reason, Chen Ran dispatched all the main lineup in his hand, preparing for a good start.

This group of players did not disappoint Chen Ran. After an offseason of recuperation, with goals from Ronaldo, Messi, Tony and Kaka, Crystal Palace beat Fulham 4-0 at home.

While scoring the first three-pointer of the new season, Chen Ran also got a "level one recovery card" from the system.

Looking at this reward that was often in short supply last season, Chen Ran secretly prayed that it would be best not to use this thing again in the new season.

而在本轮英超联赛的其他比赛里面，切尔西同样在斯坦福桥4：0大胜朴次茅斯，阿森纳在海布里球场1：0小胜西布罗姆维奇，利物浦也在客场1：0力克桑德兰。

Only Manchester United, they were even tied 1:1 by Newcastle United at Old Trafford.At the beginning of the new season, they fell behind Crystal Palace and Chelsea by two points and had a bad start.

A week later, on August 8, in the second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to Blackburn this time.

Crystal Palace, which still sent a full lineup, easily defeated Blackburn 3:1 away with Ronaldo, Franck Ribery and Beckham's goals.

While winning the first two consecutive victories, Chen Ran also got a "Level [-] Harvest Card" from the system.

而在本轮英超联赛的其他比赛里面，切尔西在客场1：0力克维冈竞技，曼联也在客场1：0小胜朴次茅斯，利物浦则在安菲尔德2：1战胜了米德尔斯堡。

Only Arsenal lost 0:1 to Fulham in an upset away game, which once again highlighted their unstable side.

Crystal Palace also relied on the advantage of goal difference to overwhelm Chelsea and Liverpool with six points, and once again grabbed the top position in the standings.

In the next week, other Premier League teams only need to play a weekend league game, but Crystal Palace still has a UEFA Super Cup to play.

On August 8, Crystal Palace will go to the Louis II Stadium in Monaco to compete with last season's Europa League champion Zenit St. Petersburg in Russia for the European Super Cup.

On August 8, Crystal Palace will return to their home court to play Wigan Athletic in the third round of the Premier League.

There was only one day between the two games, forcing Chen Ran to make a choice.

There is no need to choose at all, Chen Ran naturally put the team's focus on the UEFA Super Cup.

Frankly speaking, Chen Ran really doesn't know much about Zenit St. Petersburg.

Except for Arshavin, who he is more familiar with, the other players have no impression.

However, the current Crystal Palace has given Chen Ran enough confidence.No matter what team you face, you play yours and I play mine.

Fighting hard, no one in Crystal Palace is afraid now.

As for Zenit St. Petersburg, their head coach Ed Vokat is also an experienced Dutch coach.

He knows very well that Zenit St. Petersburg's current strength is definitely not as good as Crystal Palace, so Advocaat pragmatically adopted defensive counterattack tactics for the team.

From the time the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Crystal Palace launched a fierce offensive without any temptation.

Except for the goalkeeper Petr Cech and the two central defenders, the other Crystal Palace players have all passed the center line, suppressing the Zenit St. Petersburg players within the half-court.
