Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 501 A New Record
In Chen Ran's training list, most of the candidates are players trained by the youth training base he established in Huaguo.

Among these players, the oldest ones are only 23 or 24 years old. Although many of them were sent by Chen Ran to play in various clubs under the Galaxy Football Group, most of them are just substitutes, and those who can play the main force are not not much.

For the remaining few players, Chen Ran basically selected from Shencheng Galaxy Club.

All of a sudden, the accusations against Chen Ran of nepotism were overwhelming.

Fortunately, Chen Ran's qualifications are deep enough, and the championship trophies in top competitions have given him enough confidence.

No one can shake his position in domestic football until the results of leading the team come out.

In fact, Chen Ran didn't want to take things to such extremes, but as a reborn person, he was very aware of the situation in domestic football.

Many players and coaches are not good at professional level, but it is better to play crooked ways than one.

Instead of wasting time and energy on those guys, Chen Ran decided to reuse the players he trained.

Although these players are not rich enough in game experience and lack of ability due to their age.

However, Chen Ran has concentrated the selection of these children since more than ten years ago, completely breaking away from the existing domestic football system to train independently.

And relying on the energy of the Galaxy Football Group, these children can participate in various youth invitational tournaments every year, competing with outstanding players of the same age from Europe and the United States.

Chen Ran firmly believes that these good seedlings that he has carefully cultivated will not let him down.

In view of his own strength, Chen Ran also tailored a set of defensive counterattack tactics for the national football team.

Since most of the current players in the team have trained in the youth training base of the Galaxy Football Group since they were young, it can be said that they are very familiar with Chen Ran's housekeeping skills and defensive counterattack tactics.

Therefore, Chen Ran let the national football team focus on defensive and counterattack tactics without any resistance at all, and the players quickly adapted to Chen Ran's requirements.

In the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian qualifiers, the national football team was once again in the same group as Guam, the Maldives, the Philippines, and Syria as in the previous life.

However, this time it is not as strenuous as in the previous life.

Under the leadership of Chen Ran, the national football team won all eight games, won the first place in the group without any effort, and successfully advanced to the top twelve in the Asian region.

In the ensuing lottery ceremony, the national football team was still the same as in the previous life, and was assigned to Group B together with Japan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Vietnam and Oman.

The schedule is still the schedule of the previous life, but now this national football team is completely different from the previous life.

At least 80% of the players in the team never appeared in the previous life.They may not have taken the path of football for various reasons.

Now, these talented players have been excavated and cultivated by Chen Ran, and they have exploded with amazing combat effectiveness.

Under Chen Ran's careful training, the national football team has brought its defensive counterattack tactics to the extreme.Ten games, six wins and four draws with 22 points remain unbeaten.

In the same group, Saudi Arabia ranked second with only 3 points, and Japan was squeezed to No.[-] with only [-] points.

In this way, the national football team and Saudi Arabia have grabbed tickets to directly qualify for the Qatar World Cup finals, while Japan can only go to the play-offs with the UAE.

After the World Cup in Korea and Japan in 2002, after 20 years, the national football team broke into the World Cup finals again, and all the Chinese fans suddenly had a collective climax.

"Hahahahaha, I didn't expect that I would still be able to watch the national football team play the World Cup in my lifetime. I really have no regrets!"

"Thanks to Chen Ran, for allowing us to see the national football team in the World Cup again, and finally fulfilled our wish."

"Those who complain about Chen Ran's cronyism are either stupid or bad. If it weren't for the players selected and trained by Chen Ran, it would be impossible for the national football team to get tickets for the World Cup finals."

"That's right. In the field of football, I only obey Chen Ran!"

"Hey, now I am very much looking forward to what kind of performance the national football team will have in the World Cup."

"Hahahahaha, don't worry upstairs, with Chen Ran here, the national football team will definitely not lose all three games this time like it did in 02."

"I don't ask too much, as long as the national football team can win a game in the group stage."

"Ahem, frankly speaking, although Chen Ran is here, the strength of our national football team depends on the final grouping situation."

"What you said above makes sense. I think it's more realistic to set the goal as scoring points."

"I'll go! Are you underestimating Chen Ran?"

"That's right, I believe Chen Ran will be able to lead the national football team to the first World Cup victory in history!"

Just when the fans were looking forward to the national football team scoring a goal, scoring a point, and winning a game like they did in 2002, the group draw ceremony for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar was held as scheduled.

The national football team is in the same group as Argentina, Poland, and Mexico. From the perspective of strength, no matter which one of these three teams is above the national football team.

All of a sudden, domestic fans fell into a state of depression.

"This time it's over, let's not mention the defending champion Argentina. We can't beat Mexico and Poland alone!"

"Ahem, I also feel now that it is more realistic to strive for a point."

"That's right, as long as the national football team doesn't lose all three games, I can accept any result."

"What's the matter with you guys? Isn't it because the opponent is stronger? We have a champion coach, Chen Ran. I'm afraid, it's over!"

"That's right. What's wrong with being weaker? Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of the weak defeating the strong. What's more, we now have top coach Chen Ran leading the team, and the final result is not certain."

"Well, I hope that Chen Ran can lead the national football team to a good result this time, as said above."

In the first game of the national football group stage, they will face the strongest opponent in this group, the team previously coached by Chen Ran, the defending champion Argentina.

Before the game, the Argentine players headed by Messi ran to the bench of the national football team to say hello to Chen Ran. The scene was extremely warm.

However, after the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the Argentine players descended like tigers, and immediately launched a wave of offensive against the national football defense.

Fortunately, Chen Ran had been prepared for a long time, and the iron bucket formation of the national football team was airtight.

In the end, after 10 minutes of hard work, the national football team unexpectedly drew the defending champion Argentina 0:0 and scored a precious point.

Subsequently, the national football team drew 0:0 with Poland led by Lewandowski in the second group match and scored another point.

In the last group match, the national football team took advantage of the defensive counterattack and successfully defeated Mexico 1-0.

In this way, China ranked second in the group with a record of one win, two draws and five points, and joined hands with Argentina, which had two wins and one draw and seven points, to advance to the top [-], creating a new record for Chinese football.

At this moment, the entire Hua Kingdom was boiling.

Regardless of whether they usually watch football games or not, now, 14 billion Chinese people have become football fans.

However, the reality is often so cruel.

Because the national football team advanced to the top 1 as the second place in Group C, all their opponents in the quarter-finals are No. [-] in Group D, the super strong French team.

Because Chen Ran rejected the invitation of the French Football Association before, the current head coach of the French team is still Deschamps.

After losing twice in a row to the team led by Chen Ran in the European Cup final and the World Cup final, Chen Ran is now a thorn in the side of Deschamps.

Now facing the national football team led by Chen Ran with disparity in strength, Deschamps will naturally not let go of this good opportunity for revenge.

Although under the command of Chen Ran, the national football team tried their best to drag the game into overtime.

But the French team still relied on Mbappe's goal at the end of overtime to beat the national football team 1:0.

As a result, the national football team stopped at the top [-], and the French team, under the leadership of Didier Deschamps, made it all the way to the final, and finally defeated the defending champion Argentina in the final, winning their coveted Hercules Cup.

Although the national football team was eliminated early, Chen Ran and the players still received a hero's welcome due to the record-setting results in the round of [-] and the loss to the final champion France.

Chen Ran also used his impeccable record to completely consolidate his position in domestic football.

And the many football reform measures he formulated were fully implemented in the country without any obstruction.

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of trees.

Chen Ran knows that it is a long process from the selection and training of children to the ability to represent the national team.

The next step is to change the domestic football environment bit by bit through the accumulation of time.

Chen Ran firmly believes that with him in charge, the future will be better, and it will become commonplace for the national football team to reach the World Cup finals.

A few years later, the World Cup championship will no longer be an unattainable dream for the national football team.
