Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 49

After winning Torquay United, the team returned to London to prepare for the next home game against Ipswich Town in the Championship.

Guardiola's operation has also been successfully completed at this time.It's just that when he can recover to the state where he can play, we still need to observe his subsequent recovery.

The first thing Chen Ran did after returning to London was to take the whole team to the hospital to visit Guardiola.

Due to the large number of people, other patients have been affected, so they were kicked out of the hospital after a short stay.

Before leaving, Chen Ran held Guardiola's hand tightly.

"Josep, rest at ease and heal your injuries. I have everything to do with me. I will definitely make that Dennis Wise pay the price."

Looking at Chen Ran's serious eyes, Guardiola nodded heavily.He already knew everything Chen Ran had done for him, and thousands of words were reduced to one sentence.

"thank you boss."

On the way back to the club, Chen Ran asked Stephen who was following him:

"Is there no news from Sky TV?"

"Judging from internal news, their high-level leaders are also very controversial. I heard that they have quarreled several times over this matter."

"Oh? Did you bribe the people in the sky?"

"Well, making some friends, you know, Louis is good at that."

"Then work harder. Also, how is the situation of the prize collection? How many clues have you received?"

"How many? I have received hundreds. Now the people below are having a headache because there are too many people trying to identify the true from the false."

"so much?"

"Chen, you underestimate the value of 1000 euros too much."

"Okay. If I'm not mistaken, those clues must have been provided by those reporters, right?"

"how do you know?"

Stephen asked in surprise, he hadn't reported this to Chen Ran yet.

"Because there are 1000 euros. Journalists are ordinary people, and they like money. In this way, you can ask people to pick out the clues provided by those reporters and give priority to identification. First, they are professionals after all, and the accuracy of the information is relatively high; second, It’s also an opportunity to build relationships with them.”

"understood."

In fact, Chen Ran is so concerned about this matter. On the one hand, he is really angry because of Guardiola's serious injury and wants to express his anger for him; on the other hand, he also wants to take this opportunity to win Guardiola's heart .

Just like the reason why Chen Ran dealt with the Simeone incident before, this time he was laying the groundwork for his future plans.

As a top coach with higher achievements than Simeone, the attraction of money will no longer play a big role.

In Chen Ran's plan, his energies will inevitably be scattered across the country in the future.

But the Crystal Palace Club, as his bridgehead in Europe, must not give up.

Not only could he not give up, but Chen Ran wanted to make the Crystal Palace his golden signature.

In this way, he will be able to speak convincingly when the time comes, and when doing something in China, he can reduce some resistance.

And all of this requires a super capable person to help him sit in the Crystal Palace.

This person, Chen Ran's chosen target, is Guardiola.

Therefore, he will now start to prepare for retaining Guardiola in the future.

When Guardiola shows his outstanding coaching ability, countless wealthy clubs will invite him to coach.

When the time comes, Chen Ran is really not sure if he wants to rely on money alone to retain people.

After all, the history of his previous life clearly told him that there will be a steady stream of financial groups entering the football field in the future.Especially the group of people in the Middle East really don't take money as money.

Therefore, Chen Ran planned to focus on the emotional card, plus money support, a two-pronged approach.If Guardiola can't be kept like this, then he can only admit it.

Fabregas' outstanding performance in the League Cup has greatly increased the confidence of Simeone and Southgate in him.

When Chen Ran was drawing up the substitute list for the game against Ipswich Town, he put Cesc Fabregas in again, and the two did not raise any objections.

In addition, in response to what happened in the Millwall-Crystal Palace game, the FA penalty has also come out.

The good news is that the FA did not impose additional penalties on Simeone's red card, so Simeone can play in this Championship game.

The bad news is that the instigator of the whole thing, Dennis Wise, was only suspended by the FA for 5 games and fined 1 euros.Although this was far from what Chen Ran expected, it was much more severe than previous punishments.

In the end, none of the other players of the two teams who were in a group were punished.

"Boss, it seems that your pressure is still effective. It can be seen from the fine this time that the masters of the FA have still made concessions."

The native Englishman Southgate is too familiar with the FA's style of doing things, and he immediately read the meaning behind this unusual fine from the FA.

"Only suspended for 5 games, fined [-], scratching the itch?"

Chen Ran curled his lips, the FA is sending beggars away.

"Boss, it's not easy to get the FA to back down."

"Don't worry, I know how to measure, just take your time and look at it."

Although it was a home game against Ipswich Town, due to Guardiola's absence, Chen Ran still used Simeone's defensive counterattack tactics.

It is not Cesc Fabregas who will replace Guardiola in the starting lineup, but Yaya Toure. He will partner with Simeone to form the double midfielder of Crystal Palace.

Although Yaya Toure's ability to organize and dispatch is still immature, but fortunately he has a good body, and it is no problem to help Simeone strengthen his defense.

"Diego, before Cesc Fabregas plays, you will be responsible for the organization and scheduling."

"Okay, boss."

After the last round of turmoil, this time Crystal Palace's home court is still full of fans who came to support the team.

The media area was even more crowded, and everyone wanted to see how the Crystal Palace performed without Guardiola, the core midfielder.

At the beginning of the game, people found that the black player who replaced Guardiola in the first game was the same black player from the previous game.

Is this black big man also a talented player?Otherwise, how could Chen Ran use him to replace Guardiola.

In everyone's heart, there was an extra expectation for Yaya Toure.

However, after 10 minutes of the game, everyone realized that they were wrong.

Crystal Palace is now responsible for the midfield organization and scheduling, not the black player, but Simeone.

Is there no one in Crystal Palace?

This question immediately appeared in everyone's mind.

"What is Crystal Palace doing? The dignified top of the league table, or a home game, actually shrink back and play a defensive counterattack?"

After watching the game for more than 20 minutes, a reporter said impatiently.

"It is estimated that the Chinese man is seeking stability. After all, there is one less midfield playmaker. There is no harm in being careful."

"That's right, look at Simeone, who is now in charge of organizing the offense. His passing accuracy is much worse than that of Guardiola. It is difficult for Ronaldo and Ribery on both sides to receive the ball comfortably, and the chances of several counterattacks are in vain. It’s a waste, I guess that Huaguo person also expected this.”

"From this point of view, it will be difficult for Crystal Palace to continue their winning streak in this game."

"I think so."

"Probably."
