Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 19 Public Opinion War

   That night, public opinion exploded.

   An originally unremarkable press conference became the focus of the night on TV and the Internet.

Key words such as   Chen Ran, Simone and Crystal Palace have repeatedly appeared in various TV programs and major online communities.

   "Boss, I've caused you trouble."

  Although Simeone doesn't think he has done anything wrong, Chen Ran has now become a target of attack in order to speak for him, which makes him both grateful and guilty.

   "It's alright, it wasn't your fault in the first place."

  Chen Ran patted Simone on the shoulder and comforted.

   In fact, before the introduction of Simeone, he had expected a situation similar to today, and he also prepared several sets of countermeasures for this.

   Now it seems that it is time to open the third kit.

   "Stephen, didn't Sky TV want to give me an interview? Tell them that I have time tomorrow for an interview."

   "What? Tomorrow?"

  Stephen was taken aback. Now Chen Ran is on the cusp of the storm. Is this time right?

   "Yes, it's tomorrow. Now is the time when I'm the most popular, and some words work best at this time."

"you sure?"

"Sure."

After    explained Stephen, Chen Ran looked at Simone again.

   "Diego, you haven't been going anywhere except the training base in the last few days. The paparazzi in the UK are very good, I guess you've been targeted by them now."

   "Don't worry, boss, I know what to do, so I can use this time to design a play style for the team."

  Simeone nodded, Chen Ran's intention was clear to him. He is not a brat, so he can still distinguish the priorities.

   "Josep, spend more time with Diego these days. You two are about the same age, you both just arrived in London, and you both speak Spanish, so you can take care of each other."

   "Okay, boss."

   "Gareth, the team's locker room will be handed over to you. This time the transition between the old and the new is very large, especially the relationship between the new players and the old players."

   "Don't worry boss, the locker room will be handed over to me, I have experience in this area."

   It was late at night. When Cheryl, who was fed, fell asleep, Chen Ran quietly came to the study.

   lit a cigarette, and he began to take stock of his plans to see if there were any omissions.

   The introduction of Simeone may bring him a big problem, which was already expected by Chen Ran.

   But why did he still take Simeone?

   In fact, Chen Ran's purpose is not only for the Crystal Palace, but also for the future national football team.

   Even in 2022, the national football team still has not found a set of play that suits them.

   or fight against others and be abused by others;

  Either they only knew how to defend but did not fight back, and were suffocated.

   In Chen Ran's view, Simeone's defensive counterattack tactics led by Atletico Madrid are most suitable for the national football team.

   If you only talk about the performance of the coaching team, then Guardiola is clearly above Simeone.

   But did Guardiola's pass play the French football players?

  Chen Ran knew it was impossible with her butt.

   Among those Asian opponents, Japan, South Korea, Iran, Australia, Saudi Arabia, which one is stronger than the national football team?

   In the shadow of the horrors of Barcelona and Real Madrid, Simeone was able to lead Atletico Madrid to steal the La Liga title in three separate ways, which is enough to show that Simeone's tactics are extremely practical, and he is especially good at defeating the strong with the weak.

   However, if the normal situation develops, the possibility of Simeone coaching the national football team is almost zero.

   For some people, money can be used to seduce; but for some people, money alone can’t beat it.

  So, Chen Ran took action.

   Even though he might have to pay a small price, he decided to take the shot.

   Although Chen Ran also wants to personally lead the national football team to the World Cup, who knows if he has the talent to be a coach after his rebirth?

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

   In order to realize your ideal, there is no harm in preparing two sets of plans.

   In this way, many things have to be prepared in advance, and it is too late to crawl.

   The more difficult Simeone's situation is now, the more valuable it is to support him, and the more he owes him.

  If Simeone can owe him a big favor, then supplement it with a generous salary. With a two-pronged approach, maybe he can be kidnapped to coach the national football team at that time.

   Therefore, for tomorrow's Sky TV interview, Chen Ran has already prepared a draft.

   Complaining for Simeone and seizing the moral high ground is the most important core.

   In the early morning of the next day, Sky TV kept previewing the exclusive interview with Chen Ran in the program.

The    interview is in the form of live broadcast without editing.

  In addition, Sky TV sent their head Huadan, Christy Gallagher, to conduct an interview.

   At this moment, he immediately attracted the attention of countless English people, even if he was not a football fan.

   When he learned that it was Kisty Gallagher who was interviewing him, Chen Ran was sure in his heart, and it seemed that Sky TV didn't want to make things worse.

  Kisty Gallagher is known for his light and soft hosting style, unique in the field of male-dominated football hosting. Coupled with her beautiful appearance and good figure, Sky TV has attracted many viewers who are not fans.

The interview started with Kisty Gallagher's usual light and soft hosting style. She asked Chen Ran about her experience in joining Crystal Palace, her plans for the club, the signings of the new season, etc., as if everything was peaceful .

   But after a while, Christy Gallagher seemed to feel that the heat was almost over, and the conversation changed, revealing his sharp fangs.

   "Mr. Chen, do you know what happened between David Beckham and Diego Simeone?"

"Know."

   As soon as he heard this question, Chen Ran immediately realized that the main event of the day was coming.

   "Then why did you bring in Simeone?"

   "I think it was all five years ago, so it shouldn't matter."

   "But this is obviously not the case. England was eliminated in the 1998 World Cup because of Beckham's red card, and many England fans are still unable to let go."

   "I believe that Mr. Beckham has fully realized the mistakes he made. After all, he was still young at the time, and young people are sometimes impulsive, which is understandable."

   "Mr. Chen, but many British fans think that Simeone caused Beckham's red card."

"Oh? Is that so? I'm sorry, in 1998, I was just an ordinary fan, watching the game in front of the TV like everyone else. Judging from the TV screen at the time, this is a very common after being violated. Retaliation, are there any details that are not broadcast on TV?"

   "Uh, that's not true."

   "That's good. In fact, the reason why I am willing to accept an exclusive interview with Sky TV today is because I want to use your platform to say what I have in mind. Can you, Christy?"

   "Of course you can, Mr. Chen, please say it."

   "Everyone knows that I come from a country where football is underdeveloped, and I couldn't make it to the World Cup finals for many years before."

   "Every time I get eliminated in the World Preliminaries, I will, like everyone else, scold wrong players and stupid coaches."

   "But when the next World Qualifiers start, I will go back to the TV to cheer for the team. Even if the player who made the mistake before is still in the team, I will still cheer for him."

   "Last year my country finally entered the World Cup. Although I lost all three games, I am still very happy because we have made history."

   "So, I, who like football, decided to do something. So, I came to the birthplace of modern football and bought Crystal Palace Club."

   "In my opinion, the Premier League is the best football league in the world. It is open, inclusive, and attracts the best players from all over the world."

   "Here, I implore everyone to forget the past, look to the future, and let what happens on the football field stay on the football field."

   "I believe that with such a good league foundation, the strength of English players will become stronger and stronger. It is only a matter of time before we win the World Cup again."
