No.13 round of the British Championship, Stoke City 0:1 Crystal Palace;

No.15 round of the British Championship, Crystal Palace 5:0 Rotherham;

No.16 round of the British Championship, Gillingham 0:3 Crystal Palace;
League Cup third round, Blackpool 1:3 Crystal Palace;
Until the No.17 round of the British Championship, Crystal Palace was tied 0:0 with Norwich's defensive tactics before being used by the second-ranked Wigan Athletic in an away game.

The previous six rounds of the English Championship and a six-game winning streak in the League Cup brought Chen Ran an income of 650 million euros.

Crystal Palace currently has 47 wins and 2 draws, with an unbeaten record of [-] points far ahead of No.[-] Wigan Athletic.

During this period, Chen Ran collaborated with Sky TV on the documentary "Why England Can't Win the Championship!" ", after intense shooting and post-production, finally officially completed.

The documentary condenses a total of 30 players who were once called geniuses. By interviewing them, their relatives, friends, former teammates, and coaches, they tell stories of being forced to leave football due to malicious fouls.

Sky TV can be regarded as spending a lot of money, and took out a prime time to broadcast this documentary.

All of a sudden, fans and even non-fans who pay attention to English football were shocked.

With the help of many media, this documentary co-produced by Chen Ran and Sky TV has completely become popular.

A discussion about what is hindering England from winning the championship spread in England.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Since then, although the FA has not introduced any new rules and regulations, the punishment for malicious injuries on the pitch has quietly become much heavier than before.

When the documentary was playing, Chen Ran watched it with Guardiola.

Vaguely, he seemed to see twinkling tears in Guardiola's eyes.

"Boss, although I can't play football yet, at least I can be your assistant coach on the sidelines."

After watching the documentary, Guardiola was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but said to Chen Ran.

"Well, you'd better heal your injury completely. I'm still waiting for you to come back and be my core midfielder."

Chen Ran shook his head and rejected his proposal.

Guardiola's injury recovery is very slow, it is safer to just stay and recuperate.

"Boss, I actually asked the doctor. He said that my recovery is not good, so I should be mentally prepared for not being able to return to the court. During this time, I have thought a lot. Maybe it is a good choice to concentrate on being a coach. "

"I still remember, boss, you once promised me, Diego and Gareth, whoever performs well will be the future head coach of Crystal Palace. Boss, you don't want to go back on your word, do you?"

Guardiola looked at Chen Ran pretending to be relaxed, as if he was talking about a very common thing.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Staring into Guardiola's eyes, Chen Ran asked slowly.

Seeing that Guardiola seemed to be mentally prepared to accept the worst outcome, Chen Ran also heaved a sigh of relief. It would be best for him to think about it himself.

"Think about it. Before I can play again, I will concentrate on being your assistant coach. If it is really impossible to recover, then I will retire directly. Boss, don't forget that I still have to teach the tactics I designed To the players at Crystal Palace."

"Okay, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. If you hadn't been injured, maybe Crystal Palace would be able to play the tactic you designed by now, so they wouldn't be tied twice with the tactic of placing the bus."

The next day, when Chen Ran pushed Guardiola, who was in a wheelchair, back to the Crystal Palace training base, all the players gave warm applause to welcome him back.

However, for the players, the painful days officially began from this day.

In addition to daily routine training, Guardiola will sit in a wheelchair and direct the players to conduct drills according to the tactics he designed.

Whenever someone made a mistake, Chen Ran, who was watching from the sidelines, would stand up and scold him.

Just like this day after day, under the repeated boring training, Guardiola's tactics can finally see a little prototype.

Then, Crystal Palace started a new round of winning streak.

No.18 round of the British Championship, Crystal Palace 3:0 Preston;

No. 19 rounds of the British Championship, Crystal Palace 3:1 Crewe;

No.20 round of the British Championship, Walsall 0:1 Crystal Palace;
No.20 round of the British Championship, Crystal Palace 1-0 Coventry.

After a wave of four consecutive victories in the English Championship, in addition to gaining 400 points, Chen Ran earned another [-] million euros.

Crystal Palace also continued to lead the Championship with 59 wins and two draws, with an unbeaten record of [-] points.

Next, Crystal Palace will usher in the fourth round of the League Cup and challenge the Premier League team Aston Villa away. This is also the strongest opponent Chen Ran has faced since coaching Crystal Palace.

Aston Villa changed their head coach this season, and the current head coach is David O'Leary, who once created the glory of Leeds United's youth guards.

Aston Villa's performance in the first half of the season was not good, and they were even close to the relegation zone.

However, now they seem to have come out of the trough. The recent record in the Premier League is not bad, and there are signs of salted fish turning around.

In Aston Villa's lineup, Chen Ran saw two familiar names.

Colombian international Angel and England international Vassell, both forwards, one with good skills and one with fast speed, formed Aston Villa's striker partners.

The recovery of the two of them is also a key factor in Aston Villa's recent improvement in record.

It seems that the defense line of Crystal Palace is about to undergo a real test this time.

Chen Ran felt both apprehensive and expectant.

So far this season, Crystal Palace has remained unbeaten, which has caused some bad signs within the team, and many people are a little bit flustered.

Chen Ran is to be blamed for this. Who told him to recruit a group of future world top players for the Crystal Palace?
Although they are still far from mature, there is still a big gap from the peak.But with this group of people together, there is still no problem playing in the British Championship.

Can you keep chopping melons and vegetables all the time?
It's time for them to face a stronger opponent, Chen Ran murmured in his heart.

Aston Villa's strength is at best mid-range in the Premier League, and it is still unstable.

They are semi-strong opponents, and meeting them now can just allow the boys in Crystal Palace who have never seen the market to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League in advance.

Well, it fits perfectly.
