Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 97 Crazy summer transfer period
Director Xu's face is still good. With his help, Chen Ran quickly settled the matter of establishing a youth training base.

Although Smart Island belongs to Shanghai, it has always been troubled by attracting investment because it is far away from the urban area.

Now that Chen Ran took the initiative to deliver it to the door, the two parties naturally hit it off.

After all, after so many media reports, Chen Ran is now a well-known figure in the domestic football circle.

Therefore, Chen Ran won a 300-acre piece of land next to the football base directed by Xu, and prepared to build the Crystal Palace's domestic training base.

This created a precedent again, because there has never been a foreign football club that has established a training base in Huaguo. Chen Ran named this youth training base "Star of Hope".

On the day of the signing ceremony, major domestic sports media gathered on Smart Island. This time, even the sports channel sent people to report.

These media reporters all lived in Director Xu's football base hotel nearby, which also allowed Director Xu to make a small fortune.

After multi-party coordination, Chen Ran signed a cooperation agreement with the school on Smart Island.

In the future, the children selected by the Crystal Palace will directly study in the school like other children.

After recruiting a group of domestic staff, Chen Ran left the remaining specific affairs to Stephen and the others to deal with, while he took Cheryl to play around.

After playing for almost half a month, after enjoying the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.Under the continuous urging of Cheryl's company, Chen Ran and Cheryl returned to London with unfinished business.

At this time, the players on vacation have also returned to London one after another, and the preparation period for the new season of Crystal Palace is about to begin.

"Gareth, Josep, Diego, you all come and see, our opponents have made a lot of moves this summer."

"Chelsea, in particular, not only changed their coaches, but also spent almost [-] million euros on buying people. The cost of a club is almost equivalent to the sum of several other giants. It was a crazy summer."

Chen Ran distributed the transfer information gathered to him to three assistants.

Mourinho went to Chelsea after all, and the wheel of history is still moving in the original direction.

Chelsea can be regarded as taking the pot of the new Champions League champion Porto this time.

Not only poached the head coach Mourinho, but also took away the main central defender Carvalho and the main right back Ferreira by the way.

In addition, Eindhoven's attacking combination Robben and Kezhiman were also brought to Chelsea in a package.

There are also Warcraft Drogba from Marseille, France, and midfielder Thiago joined the team from Benfica, Portugal.

It can be said that, except for the goalkeeper Petr Cech who was intercepted by Chen Ran in advance, there were not a few players who went to Chelsea in the previous life.

And several other strong teams are not idle.

Manchester United bought World War I fame Rooney from Everton, bought forward Alan Smith from Leeds United, and bought defender Heinze from Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal brought in striker van Persie from Feyenoord, midfielder Flamini from Marseille and goalkeeper Almunia from Celta Vigo.

Liverpool brought in midfielder Xavi Alonso from Real Sociedad, forward Cisse from Auxerre and striker Luis Garcia from Barcelona.

Moreover, Liverpool also changed their head coach this summer, and the Spaniard Benitez took over Anfield.

In this lively summer transfer period, Crystal Palace, which has only introduced two players, is very inconspicuous.

Even Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion, who were promoted to the Premier League together this season, have introduced seven players and ten players respectively.

This made the Crystal Palace reporters who have been following for a long time very uncomfortable.

As a result, they checked and found that Chen Ran was not in the UK at all this summer, but took Cheryl back to China for a vacation.

This time, it can be regarded as being caught by these reporters.

As a result, after disappearing for a summer, Chen Ran's name reappeared on the pages of major media in England.

"Would that Chinese man be satisfied with a Champions League title and a League Cup title?"

"After being promoted to the Premier League, I didn't seize the time to sign up and strengthen the team. Instead, I took my girlfriend to travel and vacation. This is what the Chinese owner of Crystal Palace did."

"Proud, arrogant, this is the performance of that Chinese man after he has achieved a little."

"As of now, Crystal Palace is the team with the least number of signings among all Premier League teams. Does the Chinese think that Crystal Palace is already strong enough?"

"Judging from what the Chinese man has done, Crystal Palace is very likely to become the favorite for relegation from the Premier League in the new season."

"In view of the performance of Crystal Palace in the summer transfer period, the betting odds of the Premier League relegation team in the new season show that the number of people who are pessimistic about Crystal Palace has soared."

After reading the summer transfer information, Southgate, Guardiola and Simeone all felt a lot of pressure.

Especially that Chelsea, the big spender for two consecutive years.Not only did they spend huge sums of money to bring in players, but they also recruited coaches who had just won the Champions League. It was obvious at first glance that they were aiming for the Premier League title.

"Boss, what is our goal for this season? Relegation?" Southgate asked casually.

"A goal? The Premier League champion."

Southgate asked casually, and Chen Ran also answered casually.

"puff!"

"Cough cough."

"FxOMG!"

The scene was a mess.

Some sprayed coffee all over the floor;

Choked by saliva;
And almost swearing.

"Boss, are you joking?"

Southgate asked with a fluke mentality.

"No, I'm serious."

The three of Southgate looked and looked at each other, and they all saw speechlessness in each other's eyes.

Damn, you're a newly promoted, shouldn't your primary goal be relegation?

Do you think everyone is Kaiserslautern?
"Oh, yes. Do you remember the promise I made to you last season? Now the results are out. After the assessment, I think it is most appropriate for Josep to replace me as the head coach of Crystal Palace this season. Gareth, repeated Ge, do you have any objections?"

Chen Ran slapped his forehead and almost forgot the business.

"I have an opinion!"

As soon as Chen Ran finished speaking, he saw Guardiola standing up with a "bass".

"Boss, my current ability is far from enough to lead Crystal Palace to compete for the Premier League title. I think Gareth and Diego are more suitable than me."

I'll go, I didn't expect Josep, you big-eyed guy, to be so insidious, and you pushed the two of us out if you didn't want to do it.

Southgate and Simeone waved their hands in fright, and quickly expressed that their abilities are not enough, and they have to play again, and they are not suitable to be the head coach of Crystal Palace now.

Damn, the boss has set the goal to be the Premier League champion, who would dare to take on this job?
