Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 360 The backhand prepared at the beginning finally worked
As Chen Ran expected, the game was very difficult.

Although Tottenham Hotspur's strength is not as good as that of Crystal Palace, they still caused a lot of trouble for the substitute players on the Crystal Palace field.

In the end, with the goals of Dzeko, Ribery and Beckham, Crystal Palace was tied 3:3 by Tottenham Hotspur in the away game.

而在本轮英超联赛的其他比赛里，切尔西在斯坦福桥2：0轻取阿斯顿维拉，曼联也在客场2：0战胜了布莱克本，阿森纳则在客场被桑德兰1：1逼平。

However, the upstart Manchester City in the Premier League was once again defeated by the veteran club. They lost to Liverpool 2:3 at home, and their ranking fell further.

After all the games in this round were over, Crystal Palace, which did not win, was caught up by Chelsea.

The two teams now have the same points, and Crystal Palace barely kept the top spot in the standings only by virtue of their goal difference.

Not only that, but the Liverpool club, which was desperate to borrow money to buy people, also took the opportunity to rush forward.They are now only one point behind Crystal Palace and Chelsea, and are currently ranked third in the standings.

However, Chen Ran himself is quite satisfied with the performance of the monster team of Crystal Palace.

Winning both games in the Champions League, the Premier League's lead has been overtaken, but it still retains its top spot.

Next, it is another two-week national team match day.

Although there was no club competition, Chen Ran couldn't relax at all.

Because the current physical condition of the Crystal Palace players is very poor, and these people are now the main players of their respective national teams.

When they return to the national team, they will definitely have to play games. With physical fatigue and long-distance flight, Chen Ran is very worried that these guys will get injured.

To this end, he called the head coaches of the national teams of these Crystal Palace players one by one.

Let me introduce the current physical condition of these players, and hope that the coaches of these national teams can use Crystal Palace players as appropriate.

Although each of these head coaches politely agreed to Chen Ran's request, in the end there were a few who could do what they said, and Chen Ran himself was not sure.

On the La Liga side, it was also interrupted for two weeks because of the national team match day.

But in the standings, Barcelona beat Real Madrid to the top of the list.

Although the lead is not large, there are still many rumors circulating in Spain.

Especially the Barcelona-biased media headed by "Mundo Deportivo" have publicized that Real Madrid's head coach Mourinho not only failed to beat Chen Ran, but also ran from England to Spain in desperation.

Now even Chen Ran's assistant coach Guardiola can't deal with it. Real Madrid's choice of Mourinho as the head coach is destined to be a failed gamble.

"Fxxxk!"

Seeing these reports, Mourinho was going crazy.

"These bastards, I want to sue them for spreading rumors and slander!"

In the Real Madrid coach's office, Mourinho tore up the newspaper, crumpled it up and threw it viciously into the wastebasket.

"Okay, Jose, these media are like this. It's not your first day as a head coach. Are you still not used to it?"

On the sofa, Mendes was leisurely smoking his beloved cigar, watching Mourinho lose his temper with amused expression.

"Of course I know the virtues of those media, but if they compare me with that Guardiola, it is too deceiving."

"Who is Guardiola? When I competed with Chen Ran for the championship trophy, he was just an assistant coach of Chen Ran."

"Now La Liga has only played six rounds, and Barcelona is only one point ahead of Real Madrid for the time being. Those media say that I can't beat Guardiola? How do you think I can swallow this breath?"

The proud Mourinho finally admitted that he was inferior to Chen Ran after three years of fighting with Chen Ran.

Now some people say that he can't even compare with Chen Ran's subordinates. This really touches Mourinho's backlash. He can't bear it!
Mendes, who knows Mourinho very well, of course knows what the other party is angry about, but there are some things that even he is inconvenient to say.

"Jose, instead of being angry here, you should think about how to suppress Barcelona. This world is very realistic. As long as you lead the team well enough, those guys will naturally shut up."

"If you really go to sue those media, you will fall into their trap. They are eager to make things big so that they can take the opportunity to gain more attention. Aren't you helping them make money?"

I have to say that Mendes is worthy of being an old Jianghu, and he appeased Mourinho with a few words.

However, his heart is not as relaxed as it appears on the surface.

Chen Ran's precise vision in selecting players is now a household name.

So what about his vision for picking assistant coaches?
Will he be as precise in picking players as he is?
Because it has not been tested, Mendes can only remain skeptical in his heart.

But he has raised the importance of Guardiola to a position second only to Mourinho.

Perhaps, those media are right, this Guardiola is really a guy who can wrestle with Mourinho.

After all, he is the one Chen Ran likes.

Chen Ran is not in the mood to pay attention to these things that happened in Spain.

Whatever he was afraid of, even though he had done a lot of work in advance, there was still news that the Crystal Palace players were injured.

First up is Vieira, who will be sidelined for at least six months with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.Considering his age, this time may be longer.

As for whether Vieira can return to his current level after returning from injury, Chen Ran is not sure.

Then there is Vidic, who fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot and is out for at least three months.

There is also Kaka, who is estimated to be out for three to four weeks with a groin strain.

These are all the main players of Crystal Palace. The new season of the Premier League has just played seven rounds, and Crystal Palace has already lost three generals.

It seems that the cloud of injuries that has shrouded Crystal Palace since last season has not dissipated yet, and Chen Ran has to prepare for the worst in his heart.

"Louis, from now on, you send someone to the William II Club to record the performance of the players we have loaned there, and be prepared to terminate the loan and transfer back to Crystal Palace at any time."

Chen Ran called Little Fatty Louis to his office, and he gathered a group of goblins to level up at the Willem II Club in the Netherlands.

If the injury situation of Crystal Palace this season is more serious than last season, he will immediately use this backer who has been prepared for a long time.

"Chen, we now have scouts tracking the performance of these players at the Willem II Club. There is no need to send someone over there, right?"

Fatty Louis also felt a little puzzled by Chen Ran's sudden mention of the William II club.

"See for yourself."

Chen Ran handed Vieira and his three injury reports directly to Louis.

"hiss!"

Although he is not a professional doctor, Louis, who was born in a family of managers, has a deep understanding of the dangers of player injuries.

When he saw the scary words such as torn cruciate ligament, fracture, etc., the little fat man immediately understood why Chen Ran suddenly mentioned the matter of the Willem II club.

"Chen, is the situation already this serious? The new season has just begun."

"Let's take precautions before they happen."

Chen Ran shook his head with a wry smile.

"The reason why I asked you to send someone to the William II Club is naturally my request."

"The scouts from the new past, and the scouts who are already at the William II club, must each submit a player inspection report."

"And for the performance of our players in every game at the William II Club, we must each make our own evaluation and score."

"These are all gathered to you as a reference for us to recall players in the future. This matter is very important, and you are responsible for it yourself. Understand?"

"Okay, Chen, I'll take care of it myself."

Seeing that Chen Ran paid so much attention to it, little fat Louis suddenly became serious, and nodded heavily on his head.

After dismissing Louis, Chen Ran took out the list of Crystal Palace players who are currently on loan to Willem II Club and looked at it again.

Suarez, Vardy, Kante, Toni Kroos, Bale, Van Dijk.

Forwards, midfielders, and defenders are all available. Even if the worst happens, the backup player I prepared should be able to survive.

Just when Chen Ran was having a headache about the Crystal Palace's injury situation, Mark Hughes was also sitting on pins and needles in Manchester, more than 300 kilometers away from London.

The Manchester City club is currently ranked No. 11 in the Premier League standings, a proper mid-range. Of course, there would be no problem if this ranking was placed before.

But how could the Abu Dhabi consortium spend so much money after taking over the club, how could they be satisfied with this result?
Recently, there have been rumors in the Manchester City club that the chairman of the club, Kardun Al Mubarak, is very dissatisfied with the team's performance.

In particular, the 4000-year-old Belgian teenager De Bruyne, who was introduced by Mark Hughes at a sky-high price of 17 million euros, was completely unable to adapt to the high-paced, high-confrontation Premier League.

In the beginning, as a player introduced by the club with a lot of money, Mark Hughes of course reused it, and directly arranged De Bruyne into the team's starting lineup.

But De Bruyne, who has never played for an adult team, was suddenly thrown into the most difficult Premier League game in the world. How can a 17-year-old adapt?

Soon, Mark Hughes couldn't bear the constant mistakes, and De Bruyne, who had become a loophole in Manchester City's field, put him on the bench and no longer used it.

You must know that De Bruyne was introduced by Mark Hughes to Kardun Al Mubarak, and the transfer price of 4000 million euros was also negotiated by Mark Hughes himself.

Now the players who spent so much money to buy back can't be used, and he himself feels that he can't explain it.

When dreaming back in the middle of the night, Mark Hughes asked himself more than once in his heart, was he cheated by that Chinese man from Crystal Palace?
The more he thought about it, the more Mark Hughes felt that De Bruyne was an eyesore.

Every time he sees De Bruyne, Mark Hughes feels that someone must be pointing behind his back, saying that he spent 4000 million euros to buy a waste back.

Although De Bruyne is only 17 years old now, he is a very sensitive child.

He could clearly feel the huge change in Mark Hughes' attitude towards him.

De Bruyne first told his father Herwig about the situation, and then the father and son brought De Bruyne's agent Dexter over to discuss countermeasures.

"Kevin, do you think Mark Hughes is planning to give up on you completely?"

For De Bruyne's judgment, Dexter is not very convinced.How could a 17-year-old child see the thoughts of an old fox who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years?

"Yes, Mr. Dexter, I can feel the disgust in his eyes!"

Seemingly dissatisfied with Dexter not trusting his own judgment, De Bruyne immediately raised his voice.

"Ahem, Mr. Dexter, Kevin has been very sensitive to the attitudes of the people around him since he was a child. I can prove this."

Seeing that Dexter seemed a little unhappy with De Bruyne's attitude, Herwig quickly added.

With De Bruyne's father standing up to promise, this time, Dexter suddenly became serious.

"Kevin, if Mark Hughes really doesn't like you, then you have only two choices now: Either leave the Manchester City club; or stay here until Mark Hughes is fired."

"I choose to leave the Manchester City club, I don't want to stay here for a day!"

As soon as Dexter finished speaking, De Bruyne immediately made a choice without thinking.

"Everyone looked at me strangely, and several times I heard people say bad things about me behind my back, saying that I was a piece of trash bought for 4000 million euros."

As soon as these words came out, both Herwig and Dexter's expressions became extremely ugly.

After all, no one wants their son or client to be called trash.

"I understand."

Things have developed to this point, and Dexter also knows that if De Bruyne stays at the Manchester City club, it will definitely do harm and no benefit.

"However, Kevin, according to the transfer rules, even if you want to leave Manchester City, you have to wait until the winter transfer period at the earliest."

"So, before that, no matter how much you don't want to, you can only stay at the Manchester City club now, do you understand that?"

After listening to Dexter's words, De Bruyne immediately turned to look at his father.

After getting a positive answer, De Bruyne can only choose to accept this reality.

However, he quickly remembered one more thing, and looked up at Dexter with hopeful eyes.

"Mr. Dexter, I remember that it was the Crystal Palace Club who first made an offer to Genk Club to buy me. If I leave Manchester City in the winter, can I go to Crystal Palace?"
