Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 16 Showdown

   "Why? Mr. Chairman, those are all players I carefully selected, and they can definitely enhance our Crystal Palace's strength."

   Daowei's eyes widened, surprised, puzzled, and a little angry.

   "Really? Mr. Daowei, can you explain to me why the dozen or so players on this list belong to the same agency?"

"this."

   Daowei was at a loss for words, and he couldn't answer for a while.

   In the past, he would usually find people from three or four brokerage companies and submit it to the club owner.

   But this is very troublesome, and secondly, the more people who share the money, the less he gets.

   So this time he was bullying Chen Ran as a rookie from the East who didn't understand the way.

   But, obviously he miscalculated.

   "I can't tell, right? Collusion with the agency to make money from the club. Mr. Daowei, you said that if I told the media about this, would you still be able to find a job in English football in the future?"

  Chen Ran's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

   "This. Mr. Chen, you may have misunderstood. In fact, in British football, it is customary for coaches to charge some bonus fees when transferring."

   The calmer Chen Ran became, the more nervous Dao Wei became. His forehead was starting to sweat now.

   "Oh, is that so? Then I'll ask a reporter from The Sun if this behavior is normal."

   After saying that, Chen Ran took out his mobile phone and started to look up the phone number.

"don't want!"

   "Mr. Chen, I was wrong, I was confused for a while, I beg you to forgive me once."

   Daowei hurriedly begged for mercy, he didn't want to lose his reputation.

  Because the coaches of English clubs have great power, it is an unspoken rule to charge a fee when transferring.

   But how can this kind of thing see the light?

   Seeing the light and dying is inevitable.

   Daowei still wanted to continue his career in English football, but he dared not let Chen Ran expose the matter.

   "Then take the initiative to resign, I don't want the liquidated damages."

   "What? Resign? Mr. Chen, I know the team best. I can definitely bring Crystal Palace to the Premier League. I hope Mr. Chen will give me another chance."

   Daowei is very annoyed now, he didn't get the benefits, but his job is not guaranteed.

   "Mr. Daowei, do you think I will continue to trust you now?"

   Looking at Chen Ran's calm expression, Dao Wei's heart sank, and it was over.

   During this period of time, with the publicity of the contradiction between Beckham and Ferguson, the flying shoe incident that was constantly hyped by the media, and the rumors of his transfer to Real Madrid, the attention of the English media was attracted by Beckham.

   However, today, with an official announcement from Crystal Palace, everyone's attention was drawn back.

"Mr. Daowei, the head coach, submitted his resignation due to personal reasons, which has been approved by the club. We thank Mr. Daowei for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best in the future. In addition, the club has decided to appoint Mr. Chen Ran as the team's interim coach and lead the The team is in the Championship for the new season."

  The president of the club appointed himself as the head coach of the team?

   Everyone was stunned by Chen Ran's feat.

   "Surprise or fright? That Chinese man can always bring us new things."

   "A farce, the future of Crystal Palace is bleak."

   "Mr. Chen, you should apply for the Guinness Book of Records."

   "Exclusively, that Chinese man actually has a UEFA A-level coaching certificate, and he can indeed coach a Championship team."

   "Could it be that the Chinese fired Mr. Daowei in order to be the head coach?"

   "The sudden change of the head coach during the pre-season preparations will worry Crystal Palace next season."

   "The latest news from the betting companies, the money to bet on Crystal Palace's relegation next season has skyrocketed."

   For a time, the number of reporters who were chasing Beckham 24 hours a day suddenly decreased a lot. This also made Beckham finally relieved, and he couldn't help thanking Chen Ran in his heart.

   On the other side, in the face of the reporters coming like a tide of Qiantang, Chen Ran hid with foresight, leaving only Stephen to deal with it.

   "Dear reporters, don't worry. Three days later, Mr. Chen will hold a press conference at the club to introduce the signings of Crystal Palace in the new season. You are welcome to attend."

   At this time, Chen Ran was in the office answering a trans-overseas call from Louis.

   "Chen, Thiago Silva 500,000 euros, Maicon 1.5 million euros, the contracts are all signed."

   "Nice job, Luis. Hurry up and bring them back, I'll have a press conference in three days to introduce the new players, don't miss it."

"clear."

  Because Dao Wei was fired by Chen Ran, and several assistant coaches with him also left, so now Chen Ran must start taking over the team's training and other affairs.

   Fortunately, he has a football manager system. Through the system, he selected a physical fitness coach and a goalkeeper coach. They are all people with good ability but not much fame.

   This kind of person who hasn't had the chance to prove himself is cheap and easy to use. Chen Ran sent someone to recruit and came back.

   At the same time, he also called Guardiola, Simeone and Southgate together in advance.

   "Okay, you all know. For the next season, I'll be the team's interim head coach, and the three of you will be assistant coaches. Any questions?"

   "Mr. Chen, don't you plan to hire another head coach?"

  Southgate hesitated for a moment, but finally asked.

   He now regrets returning to the Crystal Palace. He didn't expect Chen Ran to be so unreliable, and he felt like he was on his pirate ship.

"Actually, I asked, but the man didn't agree. You all know the situation of Crystal Palace. Famous coaches don't like us, and I don't like them at the next level. So I thought, it's better to leave the opportunity to the three of you. indivual."

"us?"

   The three looked at each other.

   "Mr. Chen, what do you mean"

   "That's right, just as you guessed."

   "My plan is to look at your performance this season and pick the most suitable candidate to take over as the team's head coach."

"After all, as the chairman of the club, it's actually unreasonable for me to be the head coach. It's just that you don't have the corresponding coaching certificate yet, and secondly, I don't know who is more suitable for you. So I have to temporarily serve as the head coach. ."

   "So it is"

   After hearing Chen Ran's words, the three of them immediately became excited.

   It seems that Mr. Chairman really values ​​us very much.

   The seat of the head coach was originally reserved for us.

   Thinking of this, whether it was Guardiola, Simeone or Southgate, the previous dissatisfaction with Chen Ran's absurd behavior disappeared in an instant.

   The three of them looked at each other again, and they all saw the raging fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

   This head coach's seat is mine, you both stand aside.

   Seeing the three now full of fighting spirit, Chen Ran took a sip of coffee.

   Really fragrant!
