Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 5 Stocking Up
The meeting with Tuchel went very smoothly, after all, he is just a U19 youth team coach.

Although Crystal Palace is only a Championship team, being able to take charge of a club's youth training affairs is still very attractive to him.

After finishing Tuchel, Chen Ran flew to Rome, Italy with Louis.

"Chen, Simeone has already contacted him, and we can meet tomorrow night."

Louis hung up the phone, turned his head and said to Chen Ran, "But, don't we continue to look for the head coach?"

"Isn't this what I'm looking for?"

"???"

"You mean Simeone? He's a player, are you mistaken?"

Seeing Louis with a surprised face, Chen Ran smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

At night, in a restaurant in Rome.

"I believe that Mr. Simeone already knows our intentions. On behalf of the Crystal Palace Club, I hereby solemnly invite Mr. Simeone to join the team."

Chen Ran didn't go around the bush, and directly stated his purpose.

Simeone and his agent glanced at each other, not surprised.

He is Argentine, as long as he is a South American player, it is impossible not to know the prestige of Louis' father.

Chen Ran's intention to visit had already been communicated to Simeone's agent through Luis.

Simeone is 33 years old this year and has come to the end of his career.

With the decline of physical function and the increase of injuries, it has been difficult for him to get a chance to play in Lazio this season.

Maybe it's time to change the environment, which is also an important reason why Simeone is willing to go to the appointment tonight.

"Mr. Chairman, with all due respect, Crystal Palace is just a British Championship team, while Lazio is a wealthy club in Italy." Simeone's agent took the initiative to jump out and sing bad faces.

"So what about the giants? For a player, how bad it feels not to be able to play, I believe Mr. Simeone must be very clear." Louis also did his part to slap his agent back.

The two of you come and go, but the performance is very lively.

That's right, this agent has already given Louis the bottom line, and he has no objection to Simeone's transfer, as long as the price is right.

Chen Ran just looked at Simeone with a smile, he knew what Simeone wanted.

"Mr. Simeone, for players, the age of 33 means that it is time to think about plans after retirement."

"And our Crystal Palace has already made a plan for you. Are you interested in hearing it?"

"Oh? Please speak, Mr. Chairman."

Simeone was a little surprised, he thought Chen Ran would use a high salary to attract him.

"I wonder if Mr. Simeone has the idea of ​​becoming a coach after retirement?"

"This is indeed what I want to do in the future. In fact, I am already taking the qualification certificate of coaching."

"That's just right. Our plan is that after you join Crystal Palace, you will be an assistant coach of the first team while playing football. After all, high-level coaching qualification certificates require a certain period of coaching experience."

"I didn't expect Mr. Chairman to know so much about the profession of coaching."

"Haha, Mr. Simeone, you may not know that when I was studying football management MBA at the University of Liverpool, I was also taking the coaching qualification certificate at the same time."

"That's it. Does Mr. Chairman also want to be a coach?" Simeone is now more and more interested in the young chairman in front of him.

"It's not. I like football. If I want to build Crystal Palace into a great club, I naturally need to know enough about all aspects of football. Mr. Simeone, are you willing to achieve this goal with me?"

Simeone looked at Chen Ran, whose face seemed to be shining when he talked about football.There is only one feeling in my heart, this is indeed a person who really loves football.

Maybe give it a try?
After convincing Simeone, the Lazio club did not make things difficult for Chen Ran.

Simeone, who was already included in the processing list, it would be great if someone is willing to take over.

The 33-year-old veteran, who was covered in injuries, really couldn't sell for any price. Finally, after the three-inch tongue of the fat guy Louis, the two parties settled for 100 million euros.

After finishing Simeone, Chen Ran took Louis to Brescia non-stop.

"Chen, this Guardiola has tested positive for drugs and may be suspended at any time now. Are you sure you are looking for him?"

Louis felt that he was going crazy, what on earth did Chen Ran want to do?
First the coach of the Bundesliga second team, then the coach of the youth team, and then the veteran who is about to retire. These are normal people anyway.

Now it's even more exaggerated, Chen Ran is going to invite a player who is about to be suspended.

God, what kind of friend did I have?
Seeing Louis's expression about to collapse, his whole fat face almost wrinkled into a bun, Chen Ran couldn't help but find it funny.

"Well, even if Guardiola is suspended, he just can't play football. I mainly want him to be a coach, and he is just an assistant coach. You don't need to be so excited."

"Like Simeone?" Louis finally calmed down a little.

"That's right. Player and coach, play as soon as you can play, and be a coach honestly if you are suspended."

"Well, that's about the same. Anyway, you know what you have in mind."

Soon, Chen Ran saw the haggard Guardiola.

This guy is now busy appealing the positive drug test all day, and he is exhausted and exhausted.

"Mr. Guardiola, on behalf of the Crystal Palace Club, I formally invite you to join us."

"...Mr. Chairman, did I hear correctly? Are you inviting me to join the Crystal Palace Club?"

Guardiola was stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe his ears. At this time, someone dared to ask him?
"That's right, Mr. Guardiola, your hearing is very good." Chen Ran nodded with a smile.

"You don't know about my positive drug test?"

"I believe Mr Guardiola is innocent."

".thanks, thanks!"

Guardiola didn't expect that there are still people willing to believe him now. The experience of bumping into walls these days made him choked up a little.

"Mr. Guardiola, as long as you have not done it, the court will return your innocence sooner or later."

"You can join the Crystal Palace Club first, and we will do our best to help you win this lawsuit. I plan to let you serve as a player and coach after joining, so that even if you are really suspended, you can be a coach with peace of mind."

"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for being so considerate for me."

Guardiola has been brilliant in Barcelona for many years, and now because of the drug test, the Brescia club has also terminated his contract.

Now it has been reduced to the point where no one cares about it, and the human feelings are warm and cold, and the natural feeling is more real.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

In this way, Guardiola officially joined the Crystal Palace.
