Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

  Chapter 14 Invite the boss

  London, Chen Ran got off the plane and was blocked by reporters at Heathrow Airport.

  There is no way, even though he has escaped from England for so long, there are still paparazzi who follow Cheryl every day without giving up.

   "Mr. Chen, where did you go after you left Portugal?"

   "Besides Cristiano Ronaldo, what other stars have you brought in?"

   "Have you left the UK for so long, do you have another new love?"

   "When are you and Cheryl going to get married?"

   "Is Cheryl pregnant with your child?"

  Come on, most of the people on the scene today were entertainment reporters who tracked Cheryl.

  Chen Ran and Cheryl were surrounded by them, and the questions became more and more gossip and explicit.

  Fortunately, Stephen, who came to pick up the plane, was well prepared and brought the club staff to rescue the two.

   Yaya Toure, who came to the UK at random, had seen such a scene, and was stunned.

Is    own new boss so popular in the UK?

  However, why did they just leave?

  Hey, don't leave me!

   Poor Yaya Toure was forgotten at Heathrow Airport and was almost deported by the police as an illegal immigrant.

   Fortunately, his agent called in a hurry, and Chen Ran remembered that he had forgotten Yaya Toure and asked Stephen to send someone to bring them back.

  The next day, photos of Chen Ran and Cheryl kissing at the airport appeared on time in many London newspapers.

   "That Chinese man is back!"

   "Heartbroken! Cheryl and Chen kiss passionately at Heathrow Airport."

   "There is a prize quiz, which players have the Chinese bought during this time?"

   Chen Ran, who returned home, just had a day of relaxation with Cheryl, and then started to get busy again.

   "Stephen, in the next period of time, the players we introduced this time will come to London one after another. You are responsible for arranging them."

"OK."

   "Then you can get me in touch with Southgate in Middlesbrough, I'd like to meet and talk to him."

   "Southgate? If I remember correctly, he is the best player that Crystal Palace has trained in recent years. Do you want to buy him back?"

  Stephen is worthy of being Chen Ran's right-hand man. He now has a very comprehensive understanding of Crystal Palace Club.

   "That's right. We brought in a lot of talented young players this time, and we need an old future. Guardiola and Simeone are fine, but they're not British after all. You know."

   "It is true, you are right, Southgate is indeed the most suitable person."

   Stephen nodded in agreement, there are some things that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words.

  Chen Ran looked at the little fat man who was lounging on the sofa again.

   "Hey, Louis, haven't you rested for so long?"

   "What is it for so long? You only have one day off, okay?"

   "Don't you think I'm full of energy?"

  Chen Ran said, not forgetting to show his biceps.

   "Don't compare you pervert with a normal person like me. It's incredible that Cheryl didn't drain you all day yesterday."

  Louis picked up the Sun newspaper and threw it to Chen Ran.

   It turned out that the Sun published another photo of Chen Ran and Cheryl walking into the apartment hand in hand.

   starts with a picture, and the rest is all up to editing.

  The title is even more sensational: "The 24 hours when Chen Ran and Cheryl disappeared!"

   Except for the fact that he and Cheryl didn't come out all day, the rest is bullshit.

   special meow, it seems that the current residence is not safe.

   "Okay, we have to work without rest. We have limited time, have you forgotten what I told you about buying people from Brazil?"

  Chen Ran threw away the Sun newspaper and glared at the little fat man angrily.

   "Who to buy?"

   As soon as he heard this, the little fat man jumped up from the sofa with all his strength.

   "One is Thiago Silva of Juventus and the other is Maicon Douglas Cicendo of Cruzeiro."

   "Who are these people, I've never heard of them."

   "Nonsense, will those famous players come to Crystal Palace? I want to buy Kaka, how about you help me grab it from AC Milan?"

   "Well, that's fine, I don't have that ability."

   The little fat man shrank his neck and didn't dare to say a word.

   "Chen, Daowei has been wanting to see you recently, what are you going to do?"

  Stephen took the call at this time and made a clearance for the little fat man.

  Since the media revealed that Chen Ran grabbed Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, Daowei has been excited. It seems that this new rookie boss is playing for real.

   He is more confident that he will get the transfer rebate.

   Of course, he was not arrogant enough to think that Chen Ran would accept his buyer list in its entirety. But even if only a few of them were traded, it would be enough to save him years of struggle.

  So, Daowei's mind was not on the team's training for a while.

After    left the job to the assistant coach, he ran to Stephen every three days, thinking about matching the transfer.

   Fortunately, Chen Ran was not in the UK during this time, as everyone knew, Stephen used this excuse to drag him all the time.

   "Two more days until I see Southgate."

   Middlesbrough is a major steel industry town in the northeast of England, and the Middlesbrough Club is located in this city.

   Still in a restaurant, Chen Ran met Southgate.

  The overwhelming coverage of Chen Ran by the British media showed the benefits at this time.

   Southgate is also curious about the new boss of his old club.

   So when the agent told him that Chen Ran wanted to see him, he agreed without hesitation.

   "How is it? Is it normal?"

   Looking at Southgate's curious eyes, Chen Ran asked with a smile.

   "Cough, sorry, I was too rude."

  Southgate was also a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but look at the Chinese who suddenly became popular.

   "It's okay, don't worry, I'm used to it now."

   The atmosphere at the beginning was good, and the two chatted while eating.

   With Chen Ran's guidance, the strangeness soon disappeared.

   "So, Mr. Chen asked me to meet, does he want me to go back to the Crystal Palace?"

   Southgate did not hide it, and directly expressed his conjecture.

"That's right. Mr. Southgate, I'm sure you know about Crystal Palace's plans from the media. To tell you the truth, I have brought in a lot of new players. But I also know that a team can only buy People can’t do it, and there needs to be a core to sit in.”

"And I think that Mr. Southgate is the most suitable candidate in terms of strength, status and background. Therefore, I very much hope that Mr. Southgate can return to Crystal Palace and join me in creating a football dynasty. s plan."
