Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 161 In strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away
Chapter 161 In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away
The whole interview went quite smoothly. At this time, the benefits of Chen Ran and Duan Xuan's good relationship were reflected.
Because all the questions in the whole interview were determined after communicating with Chen Ran in advance.
It can be said that on the basis of not violating the basic facts, Chen Ran's achievements in the UK in recent years are fully demonstrated.
has successfully created the image of a smart, brave and hard-working outstanding young man in the new era who has worked hard alone in a foreign country and achieved success.
At the end of the interview, Chen Ran also took the opportunity to advertise for Crystal Palace's Huaguo youth training base, announcing that Crystal Palace's national youth training talent selection plan officially started.
So far, the main task of the trip to the Crystal Palace China is all completed.
After leaving Tuchel and his assistants to preside over the next youth training selection, Chen Ran flew to Tokyo, Japan with the rest of the Crystal Palace staff.
As a newly emerging team, Crystal Palace has insufficient background after all, and unlike in China, it has the blessing of Chen Ranhua's identity.
So in the next Tokyo, Japan, Bangkok, Thailand and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the attendance rate of Crystal Palace's three friendly matches is not very ideal.
However, Chen Ran didn't care about it.
After all, the money that should be earned has already entered the pocket of Crystal Palace.
As for whether he can make money again next summer, Chen Ran is not worried at all.
As long as Crystal Palace continues to win the championship in the new season, I believe that someone will take the initiative to send money to the door.
After more than half a month of making money, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace back to London.
Because Cheryl also has her own concert tour to do this time, there is no way for her to follow Chen Ran to China like last year.
The newlyweds of Xiaobiesheng, after two days of relaxation, had to devote themselves to their respective work.
"Louis, tell us what our old rivals have been doing recently."
Chen Ran took most of the Crystal Palace's people to Asia, and naturally London has to keep people here.
Louis, who was in charge of Crystal Palace's transfer affairs, became this candidate.
Chen Ran gave him the task of staying in London and monitoring the transfer situation of the major clubs in the Premier League at all times. If you find something unusual, notify yourself at any time.
"Okay. In the summer transfer period this year, the Premier League clubs did not make much moves. The biggest transfer was the introduction of Essien by Chelsea for 50 million euros."
Having said this, Louis paused and smiled tacitly at Chen Ran.
"Chelsea's other big deal is to spend 40 million euros to introduce winger Wright Phillips from Manchester City."
"And then Chelsea bought a left-back Del Horno from Athletic Bilbao in Spain, and sold striker Kežman to Atletico Madrid. There's not much to say about the rest."
"Arsenal bought a midfielder Hleb from Stuttgart in the Bundesliga."
"Manchester United introduced South Korean midfielder Park Ji-sung from PSV Eindhoven."
"Liverpool bought former Chelsea player Zenden."
"Anyway, the transfer situation of our competitors is like this, and the others are not worth mentioning."
"The Premier League transfer market this summer doesn't seem to be very lively. Except for Chelsea, other teams don't have any big money."
After listening to Lewis' report, Chen Ran suddenly had a bottom line.
"Yes. This year's situation is a bit abnormal, but isn't it a good thing for us Crystal Palace?"
Little Fatty can think of it, the farther the opponent is thrown by Crystal Palace, the better.
"Well, it is indeed a good thing. It seems that our main rival for the Premier League title this season is still Chelsea."
"That's right. The Russian owner of Chelsea is really rich. This summer, he invested more than 100 million euros in the transfer market. And this has been a huge investment for three consecutive years. It really doesn't take money as money."
The little fat man broke his fingers to settle the account, Essien 50 million euros, Wright Phillips 40 million euros, Del Horno 12 million euros, the transfer fee for these three people alone exceeds 100 million euros.
"With the full support of the Russian boss, Mourinho now has more and more cards in his hand, and he must find a way to solve this problem."
Chen Ran habitually tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers and said slowly.
"Hey, it's okay, Chen, that Mourinho is your defeat, and you can still hold him down this season and won't turn over."
The little fat man was as confident in Chen Ran as he always had, and did not take Mourinho in the slightest.
Chen Ran is studying his opponent, and others are also studying his Crystal Palace.
"José, so far this summer, Chelsea's transfer spending has exceeded 100 million euros, which has reached the upper limit of the budget allowed by the boss."
"If you still want to buy people, then you have to sell existing players to raise funds, or you can personally persuade the boss to invest more."
For the transfer, Peter Kenyon invited Mourinho to his office again.
"I see."
Mourinho pouted and reluctantly agreed.
Although he has spent more than 100 million euros in transfer fees, Mourinho is actually very dissatisfied.
First of all, his main goal, none of the main players of Crystal Palace was dug up, and he failed to achieve his goal of directly weakening the competitors.
Secondly, Chelsea's attractiveness is too bad now, except for the advantage of the owner's money, it is all shortcoming.
In the eyes of many big-name players, Chelsea is an out-and-out upstart.
If there were other options, these big players would not consider coming to Chelsea at all.
The most direct manifestation of is that although Mourinho is waving a lot of money in his hand, he can’t buy his favorite player.
Although he spent 100 million euros, except for Essien, no one else was the best choice in his heart.
"José, compared to our Chelsea, Crystal Palace's strength has not changed much."
Seeing that Mourinho was in a bad mood, Peter Kenyon said comfortably.
"Although they introduced Vieira, they also left Cesc Fabregas. Between the entry and the exit, the strength did not increase much."
"And the Essien, Wright Phillips and Del Horno we introduced are all players who can play the main force when they come."
"The strength of the team has been significantly enhanced, and we can definitely win the Premier League this season."
Seeing Peter Kenyon's confident look, Mourinho's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything after all.
Manchester United Club, Ferguson Office.
"Alex, I'm very sorry, all our offers for Crystal Palace's main players have been rejected."
"Neither the players nor Crystal Palace Club accepted our offer."
Manchester United CEO David Gill bite the bullet to report the bad news to Ferguson.
At the beginning, David Gill also took the route of contacting the players first, but it turned out that the players of Crystal Palace were busy negotiating contract renewals with the club.
David Gill thought this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes, so he threw out a lot of attractive big contracts, and this move did arouse the interest of some players.
But with Chen Ran throwing three punches one after another, introducing Vieira, building a new stadium, and signing a sky-high sponsorship contract with Emirates.
Crystal Palace players, who were already a little tempted, immediately terminated their contact with Manchester United and signed renewed contracts with Crystal Palace.
David Gill, who saw this situation, did not give up on it. Since the player can't work here, he should just talk to the Crystal Palace Club directly.
At this time, Chen Ran had already taken the Crystal Palace team to Asia, and the little fat man who stayed behind immediately contacted Chen Ran after receiving the offer from David Gill.
And Chen Ran didn't ask the little fat man to report Manchester United's specific offer at all, but simply replied with three words: "Let him go!"
But the little fat man was about to hang up the phone when Chen Ran suddenly added: "Wait a moment, I'll think about it."
"Huh? Chen, you won't really agree to Manchester United's offer, will you? They're going to dig the main player of our Crystal Palace."
Chen Ran's dozen of meals surprised Louis instead, and he thought that Chen Ran was really moved.
"What nonsense? I'm just thinking about how to take this opportunity to dig a big hole for Manchester United."
So, Chen Ran arranged the plan he just thought of to Little Fatty step by step.
The next day, the little fat man replied to David Gill, saying that now Chen Ran and most of the Crystal Palace staff were in Asia, and he could not be the master of such a big thing.
So he can only report the matter to Chen Ran and make a decision after Chen Ran returns.
It's no secret that Chen Ran took the Crystal Palace team to Asia to make money. Many people in the circle know it, and they are very envious and jealous.
So David Gill has no doubts about Louis' excuse for delaying time.
Such a big transfer is indeed not something that Luis, the sports manager, can decide alone.
Chen Ran's abacus is very good, he just wants to drag Manchester United as long as he can.
It is best to delay the summer transfer period and tell the opponent that Crystal Palace will not accept any offer.
In this way, if Manchester United wants to find other foreign aid, either the suitable candidate has already negotiated the transfer, or the operation time may be too late.
After listening to Chen Ran's strategy, Louis also thought it was a good strategy, and immediately volunteered to cooperate with the performance, and successfully made David Gill fall into the pit.
Seeing the smooth implementation of the plan step by step, Chen Ran, who is far away from China, has truly experienced the feeling of "developing a strategy and winning thousands of miles away" this time.
Although it is a bit inauthentic, but who asked Manchester United to dig its own corner? This is retribution.
To say that Louis is definitely a powerful actor, at least he can win the Oscar for best supporting actor acting.
He not only made David Gill feel that Crystal Palace might agree to Manchester United's offer, but he didn't say it to death, delayed the reply time after time, and played this old river and lake all over the place.
Until David Gill finally lost his patience, but at this time, the deadline for the summer transfer period is running out.
Listening to David Gill confessing that he had been fooled by the Crystal Palace, Ferguson was speechless for a while.
David Gill, the old Jianghu, was actually played around by the stinky little fat man from the Crystal Palace. What a shame.
But this is the end, what else can he say?
David Gill has a good relationship with Ferguson. He has always been the leader of the Manchester United club. It is of great help for Ferguson to control the Manchester United club.
So, instead of losing his temper, Ferguson helped David Gill to hide it.
This moment made David Gill even more grateful to Ferguson, and vowed to repay Ferguson in the future.
Although Ferguson gained David Gill's loyalty through this incident, for Manchester United, he has lost precious signing time.
In the end, in this summer transfer period, Manchester United just hastily introduced a South Korean midfielder Park Ji-sung and it came to an end.
From then on, David Gill hated the little fat Louis, who never greeted him when they met.
But he and Ferguson didn't know until the end, in fact, this idea came from Chen Ran who was far away in China at that time.
London, Arsenal Club, Wenger's office.
"Boss, Chelsea has invested the most in the Premier League transfer market this summer. Now it has exceeded 100 million euros. That Russian is really rich."
Assistant coach Pat Rice is also reporting the transfer situation to Wenger.
"What about Crystal Palace? Apart from taking Patrick from us, are there any other signings?"
"I heard that they seem to have competed with Chelsea for Essien, but from the result, Crystal Palace still lost. There is no action left, oh yes, they also took a high school student from Southampton. ."
"High school student? Tell me about the specific situation."
Hearing this, Wenger immediately became interested.
As a coach known for cultivating young players, Wenger is more interested in these extremely talented little demons than those famous stars.
"I heard that this little player once represented the school team and won a regional championship. The rest of the situation is not very clear. Boss, do you need to send someone to investigate in detail?"
"Forget it, in the pocket of that little guy from China, no one else will ever think about getting it again."
"That's true. Everyone thought that Crystal Palace would be poached a large number of main players this summer. It turned out that no player has left Crystal Palace so far. It's a miracle."
Pat Rice was also amazed at the super stability shown by Crystal Palace.
For an old Jianghu like him, he saw a lot of newly promoted horses with excellent grades, and he was abruptly hollowed out by those giant clubs.
Unexpectedly, the Crystal Palace turned out to be an alternative.
