Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 110 The pit is dug

   "Louis, did you just say you didn't hear anything?"

  Chen Ran immediately asked.

   "Yes, there is no news about us at Crystal Palace, that's why I don't feel normal."

   "As you lead us to victory at Crystal Palace, there has always been news that a certain team has taken a fancy to one of our players, and another club has taken a fancy to another of our players."

"But in recent times, all of that news has disappeared. Even if we're at the top of the Premier League table with seven wins in a row, nothing like that has come out. It's like overnight our Crystal Palace players have become unattractive. , that's not normal."

   "I have a feeling that everyone is on guard against me. I am now blind and deaf in the circle of agents, something that has never happened before."

   The little fat man who always smiled, had a solemn expression on his face at this moment.

   "Well, your judgment is correct, this is a bit wrong."

  Chen Ran nodded slightly, in the busiest European transfer market in the world, it is normal for true and false news to fly all over the sky.

   Now Little Fatty can't hear any news about Crystal Palace here, that can only mean one thing.

   That is someone, or some forces, are planning a conspiracy against Crystal Palace, and are consciously preventing information from leaking, especially for people from the Crystal Palace Club like Little Fatty.

   As for what kind of conspiracy, Chen Ran can think of it with his ass, nothing more than Crystal Palace's excellent record, and the players in the team have some rich and powerful teams eyeing.

Which club will    be?

   Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea?

  Chen Ran thought about it, and it was nothing more than these strong teams. Other clubs in the UK did not have this strength.

   As for the giant clubs in other countries, it will be almost the same when Crystal Palace wins this season's Premier League championship, and the current Crystal Palace is not so attractive.

   "Louis, can you be sure which club is behind the scenes?"

   "It's not clear yet, but now the brokerage circle in the UK treats me like a thief."

   "That's it"

   Chen Ran's news about the transfer was all collected from Little Fatty.

   Now, as soon as this road is blocked, Chen Ran suddenly becomes deaf and blind.

   "So, Luis, you can help me contact Mendes and see if he has any news."

   "Mendez?"

   As soon as he heard the name, Little Fatty's voice immediately raised an octave.

   "Yeah, we can't get any news now, it's too passive. Because of Mourinho's relationship, Mendes has become a guest of Chelsea, but he may know something."

   "Do you have to find him?"

  Although he knew that what Chen Ran said made sense, the little fat man was still a little reluctant to go to Mendes.

   "Other than that, do you have a better solution?"

  Chen Ran spread his hands and looked at the little fat man helplessly.

"understood."

  Louis pouted, and had no choice but to agree.

   If he goes back to beg his father just to inquire about news, doesn’t that just show his incompetence?

  After weighing the pros and cons, the little fat man finally decided to call Mendes.

  When Mendes got a call from Luis, he was also very surprised.

   Since Mendez and Luiz and their family fell out, this was the first time the little fat man took the initiative to call him.

   "Louis, if you have anything, just say it directly, I will definitely help if I can."

  Mendez thought very clearly that if the brokerage industry wants to grow bigger, it will inevitably have to compete with other bigwigs.

   However, competition is competition, of course it is best if you can not tear your face.

   This time Louis took the initiative to call, and Mendes felt that this was an opportunity to ease the relationship between the two.

   After all, he was still thinking about his cooperation with Chen Ran.

   As Crystal Palace's record became more and more prominent, the idea had taken root in Mendes' mind.

   "Then I'll just say it straight. Recently, it seems that someone wants to attack the Crystal Palace, and has blocked the news of me. I want to ask, have you heard any rumors, who is behind it?"

   "Oh, that's it. I heard a bit of news before, it seems that Manchester United's Ferguson is more interested in some of your Crystal Palace players."

   "Manchester United? Okay, I got it. Any other clubs?"

   "At least I only know one Manchester United at the moment. If I hear anything in the future, I'll tell you."

   "Okay, then thank you very much."

   Hanging up the little fat man, Mendes was moved.

   Is there really only one Manchester United interested in a Crystal Palace player?

   No, I haven't heard any news about any club that is interested in Crystal Palace players.

   Even the news about Manchester United that I heard before, no one has mentioned it again.

   It stands to reason that Crystal Palace’s record is so good now that more and more clubs should be interested in their players.

   Now there are none, which is very abnormal.

  If it wasn't for the phone call from the little fat man, Mendes hadn't realized the strangeness of this matter.

   After all, Crystal Palace does not have any other business dealings now except Cristiano Ronaldo is his player.

   However, Mendes is now taking a keen interest in this matter.

   If you can dig out the black hand behind this incident, and then send this news to Chen Ran, maybe it can pave the way for continued cooperation between him and Chen Ran.

   You must know that he still owes Chen Ran a meal. Because of Mourinho's rejection, Mendes is embarrassed to see Chen Ran, who is also in London.

   This matter can be used as an opportunity.

  Crystal Palace Club, the little fat man who got the news of Mendes immediately reported to Chen Ran.

   "Manchester United?"

   Hearing this name, Chen Ran was both surprised and not surprised.

   Unsurprisingly, Manchester United will shoot.

   Surprisingly, only Manchester United shot.

   "Only the Manchester United family do it?"

  Chen Ran asked anxiously.

   "At least that's what Mendes said." The little fat man shrugged.

   "You can't just listen to Mendes."

  Chen Ran knocked on the desk, called the little fat man to the desk, and whispered.

   "Louis, you find someone reliable, pretend to be a tabloid reporter, and go to a private investigator."

   "On the pretext of collecting the best transfer news, let them follow the main players of our Crystal Palace."

   "As long as there is evidence of their contact with other clubs, we will give big bonuses."

  “.”

  Louis is dumbfounded, what is Chen Ran doing?

   "Chen, is it necessary to find a private detective? Also tracking our own players?"

   "Of course it is necessary. This is to prepare for the worst possible future, understand?"

   "Worst case? Chen, you mean"

   "You must know that those who can take action against us are either rich or nouveau riches. Can you guarantee that no one of our players is tempted?"

   "Uh, there's really no guarantee."

   The little fat man scratched his big fat head, who can guarantee this kind of thing.

   "So. If someone really wants to leave, even if the contract hasn't expired, can you keep someone and keep your heart?"

   "Even if you force people to stay, but at that time there is a person who is not here with us to stay in the team, it will seriously damage the atmosphere of the team, and it will be even worse."

   "At this time, the evidence of private contact with the players will be of great use."

   Having said that, Chen Ran stopped and took a sip of the cold coffee on the table with a smile. It was really fragrant.

   "Oh! Chen, you mean, we can use this evidence to go to UEFA to sue those clubs?"

   Little Fatty suddenly realized that Chen Ran's ultimate move was here.

   "Yes. You must know that the transfer rules clearly stipulate that clubs are not allowed to contact players in private first."

   "Cough, but, Chen, this kind of thing is very common. Everyone does this, and we ourselves do this kind of thing too."

   "This kind of thing can only be carried out under the table, and can't see the light. As long as we have the evidence, we will have the initiative."

   "If a club wants to buy our players, and the players themselves want to leave. Yes, pay for it. If we don't come up with a price that satisfies us, then we will submit the evidence to UEFA."

   "At that time, UEFA will ban them from introducing players for at least one transfer period. It is up to them to measure which loss is bigger."

   "So it is. Chen, your trick is really too powerful."

   The little fat man looked at Chen Ran with admiration, and he needed a refill.

   "Humph, if you want to dig the corner of our Crystal Palace, you have to prepare for a big hemorrhage."

   "However, this move can only be used as our trump card, and we can't use it as much as possible. After all, doing so will break the usual unspoken rules, and the negative effects will be too great."

   "It's like a nuclear weapon. I don't intend to use it, but I must have it. Understand?"

   "Understood. Chen, what you mean is to treat these evidences as our nuclear weapons, specially used to kill people."

   "Smart, that's what I meant."

  London, Arsenal Club.

   Wenger is listening to the latest transfer information from his assistant coach Pat Rice.

   "You mean, Ferguson and Mourinho are both eyeing Crystal Palace players?"

   "That's right, boss, that's how I got the news from the circle."

   "Hehe, it seems that the little guy in China is in big trouble this time."

   Thinking of Chen Ran, who had dealt with him a few times, Wenger was also a little gloating. Who made Chen Ran reject his signing proposal?

   At the beginning, I had a good discussion with you if you didn’t want to, but now you deserve to be hacked behind your back.

   It would be a lie to say that Wenger was not angry when Chen Ran rejected him, but Wenger's status is different now.

   As one of the top players in English football, he is too lazy to care about a little guy like Chen Ran.

   However, now that someone is going to teach Chen Ran a lesson, Wenger is also willing to watch the fun.

   "Boss, don't we take the opportunity to shoot? Some players in Crystal Palace are still very good." Pat Rice couldn't help but also made a suggestion.

   "Pat, that little guy from China is not a good guy. Look, even if Manchester United and Chelsea can buy someone from Crystal Palace in the end, they will definitely be slaughtered by that little guy."

   "I tested that little guy's attitude before, but he treated those players as treasures. Do you know how much he offered that Ronaldo?"

   "How much?" Pat Rice asked curiously.

   "One hundred million euros."

   "OMG!"

   "Boss, is what you said true?"

   "Exactly."

   "That Chinese must be crazy."

   "He was very calm. He also said that 100 million euros is only the current price. That Ronaldo will become the world footballer in the future, and his offer will become 200 million euros."

   "Well, let's not participate in this matter. I feel that the Chinese man is a lunatic, maybe he will do something crazy. Anyway, we Arsenal have no money to buy people to build a new stadium."

   "Really? Pat, you feel the same way? Then we really thought about going together."

   Wenger glanced at his assistant coach with relief, and it turned out to be his own, even the same idea.

  What fans see is always the performance of each team on the court.

   The turbulent waves and swords and shadows under the court were more intense and cruel.

After    handed things over to Luis, Chen Ran put his energy back on the team.

  Crystal Palace's training ground, watching the players sweating on the field, Chen Ran's mind still can't help but guess who will leave the team in the end.

   Frankly speaking, Chen Ran had this mental preparation from the first day he took over the Crystal Palace.

  Crystal Palace Club is like a school and the players are like a group of students.

   Every year, new students join and old students leave.

   Once this cycle begins, it will not stop unless this school closes.

   Looking at the players personally selected by Chen Ran on the field, he was a little reluctant to leave.

   But this is professional football, and it's increasingly rare for a player to play for one team, as Maldini did.

   What's more, because Crystal Palace was just an unknown Championship team at the time, Chen Ran's options were extremely limited.

   Therefore, some players in the Crystal Palace team are only Chen Ran's second or even third choice at that time.

   Now that there are big players who are eyeing their own players, it just so happens that they can also sell on rallies.

  As a rebirth, Chen Ran naturally knows that some players have a low ceiling in the future.

   At this time, if you can slaughter your opponent, you can use this money to introduce better players.

   After all, with the current attractiveness of the Crystal Palace, it is no longer comparable to the obscure Crystal Palace before.

   I believe that after the end of this season, the name of Crystal Palace will be able to resound throughout European football.
