Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 34 floated away

   Chapter 34 Gone

Under Chen Ran's combination of punches, Cesc Fabregas' repurchase price has become 5.4 million euros, Pique is 4.5 million euros, and the other three are also above one million euros, which is higher than Barcelona's initial price. The price has more than doubled.

   Chen Ran was very satisfied with this.

   When the two sides formally signed the contract, Chen Ran held Laporta's hand with a smile.

   "Mr. Laporta, don't be so frowning. Our cooperation this time has solved the big trouble that has been plaguing Barcelona. In the future, as long as you need it, we can continue this kind of cooperation every year."

  Chen Ran was eating what was in the bowl, and he didn't forget to look at what was in the pot.

   La Masia is a gold mine, although until 2022, there has never been a talent beyond this one. But the overall level is still very high, more than enough to be used as a substitute. Anyway, it's white prostitution, don't be white.

   "Hehe, let's see how this cooperation works, and then let's talk about the future."

  Laporta shook Chen Ran's hand and said angrily.

  This kid is not a good thing either, no better than those British guys.

   Laporta, who was severely slaughtered by Chen Ran, was very upset, and the more he looked at Chen Ran, the more unpleasant he became.

"The work of the five players, Cesc Fabregas and Pique, is up to you, FC Barcelona. There are games on the weekend, and I have to go back to command the team. I will leave Luis and the lawyer team here to cooperate fully. you."

   "Since Mr. Chen is busy with business, I will not waste your time. I will send someone to handle this matter, and your person will just wait for the contract to be signed."

  Laporta didn't want to see Chen Ran for one more minute now, so he left immediately.

  Chen Ran took advantage, of course he didn't care about these details.

   Don't let others get angry when they suffer from a dull loss?

  Being a person can't be too much.

   In fact, if Laporta knew the achievements of Cesc Fabregas and Pique in the future, he would never think that the current buyback price is high.

   You must know that when Cesc Fabregas returned to Barcelona from Arsenal in his previous life, the transfer fee was as high as 40 million euros, which was 40 million euros in 2011.

  Chen Ran's wishful thinking is to set the repurchase price as high as possible, so that Barcelona will feel that it is not worthwhile to spend 5.4 million euros to buy back the 18-year-old Cesc Fabregas after two years.

  Returning to the hotel, Chen Ran started packing his bags and preparing to rush back to London, not wanting to celebrate the victory of the negotiation.

   "Luis, I'm going to fly back to London today. Your mission here is to make sure Cesc Fabregas and Pique sign a contract to join us at Crystal Palace. Understand?"

   "Understood. Chen, don't worry, I'll leave this little matter to me."

   The little fat man patted his plump **** and assured him with confidence.

   "Don't be careless. Cesc Fabregas and Arsenal have been in contact for a long time, maybe they will sign when, don't let your guard down when you think that there is a Barcelona club to do work."

   "Understood. However, what should I do if I encounter Arsenal club robbing someone?"

"Finish Fabregas' family first and tell them that Crystal Palace can guarantee Cesc Fabregas' playing time. In addition, the signing fee can also be paid a little more. If it still doesn't work, hold him back and don't let him sign it until I direct it. Fly over after the game."

"OK."

   After securing the Barcelona club, Chen Ran flew back to London overnight.

  No way, there is a fourth round game against Sheffield United on the weekend. Fortunately, this is Crystal Palace's home game, and there are not as many things to prepare as going to an away game.

   After three rounds of league matches, Crystal Palace topped the Championship, while their next opponent, Sheffield United, is currently only tenth. From top to bottom, the team is full of confidence in winning Sheffield United.

  Chen Ran rushed back to the team the day before the game, and the three assistant coaches on the training ground led the team to practice tactics as usual.

   There were laughter and laughter from time to time on the court, and the three-game winning streak made the players feel good and morale high.

  Chen Ran stood on the sidelines and watched the whole process. Now that the team is on the right track, his intervention in training has become less and less.

   "Is there nothing wrong with the team during my absence? How are the players? Are there any injuries? Are there any players who are in a bad mood?"

   After the training, Chen Ran had a small meeting with the three assistant coaches as usual.

   "Reassured boss, there is no problem, everything is very good."

   Southgate, as an assistant coach and team captain, is also an England international, and he is usually the one who speaks back and forth on behalf of the three.

   Looking at Southgate's somewhat complacent look, Chen Ran frowned slightly.

  Why does this guy feel a little floating?

   It seems that the team has won three consecutive victories, coupled with the continuous praise from the outside media, even veterans like Southgate have been greatly affected.

   Wouldn't the whole team be in this state?

  Chen Ran looked at Simeone and Guardiola next to him worriedly.

   One of the two guys still had that tough guy face with no expression, and the other was in a daze.

   In a daze?

  Come on, this guy Guardiola looks distracted, not listening to himself at all.

   "Josep?"

   "Josep?"

   Seeing that Chen Ran called Guardiola twice, but he didn't respond for a long time, Simeone hurriedly poked Guardiola's arm.

   "Huh? What's wrong?"

  Simeone worked hard and Guardiola reacted.

"what are you thinking about?"

   "Oh, boss, I'm thinking that there are articles praising our Crystal Palace everywhere in the media recently, which makes me have a bad hunch."

"That's what these media are like. As long as a team is doing well, you can see hype articles every day. Josep, you just arrived in the UK and you probably don't know the media here. That's what those guys live on. , whoever is popular will write whoever."

  Southgate heard Guardiola's concern and was a little unimpressed.

  The virtues of the English media, he, a native Englishman, knows all too well.

"Gareth, actually, in Spain, the media does the same thing as in the UK. When I was in Barcelona, ​​as long as the results were good, the media started to hype it up. But when there's hype everywhere, it won't take long before we Lose."

   Guardiola said without worry.

   "True or false? So exaggerated?"

   Southgate's eyes widened, looking at Guardiola in disbelief.

  No way, although Southgate is expensive as an England international, he has always played for small and medium clubs. Where has he ever been touted by the media every day?

   Even if it is the England national team, how many years has it not won the championship?

The closest    came to the championship was when Southgate was the head coach in his previous life in 2020, when he won the European Cup runner-up.

   It's no wonder that Southgate is fluttering when he is touted by the media. Where has he seen such a scene at this time?
