Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 194

  John Phelan is not a top goalkeeper, of course he can't hold every shot of Cristiano Ronaldo.

  So, Jan Kohler, Alves and Evra, who received Chen Ran's instructions before the game, got a chance to show their talents.

   They were ambushed in the penalty area of ​​Wigan Athletic early. As long as Ronaldo shot, they divided into three fronts, middle and back and began to charge in front of Wigan Athletic.

   And the players of Wigan Athletic also put their main energy on limiting Ronaldo.

  No way, who made Ronaldo's performance in the Champions League match two days ago so amazing, Wigan Athletic coach Coleman also emphasized that his players should focus on marking Ronaldo before the game.

   This time, Yan Kohler, Alves and Evra were able to take advantage of it.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

   Before the first half of the game was over, the three guys each scored a goal with a supplementary shot.

   Although Wigan Athletic later strengthened the protection of the two penalty kicks, it was too late.

  In the end, Crystal Palace also easily defeated Wigan Athletic 3:1 at home with these three goals.

   "Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the game and discovering a teenager with football talent."

   "Huh? The system hasn't given this reward for a while."

  Name: Zhang Fan

   Age: 10 years old

   Potential (PA): 160

   Competency (CA): Vacancy

  Location: To be determined (recommended training direction: midfield organizer)

   Now that Tuchel has returned to the UK, the selection of the Chinese youth training has been handed over to his assistant.

   Tuchel is after all the youth training director of Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace and all levels of echelon need him to manage, so it is impossible for him to stay in China for a long time.

   This little guy named "Zhang Fan" seems to be discovered by Tuchel's assistant, and he will send a training plan formulated by the system at that time.

   In other Premier League matches in this round, there is also a strong dialogue, that is, Arsenal reversed Liverpool 2:1 at Anfield, and it can be regarded as trying their best for the Champions League place next season.

  Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 2:1 at home, continuing to maintain pressure on Crystal Palace, Manchester United easily won Newcastle United at Old Trafford.

After the 29th round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace topped the standings with 26 wins and 3 draws with 81 points.

Chelsea are close behind with 76 points, Manchester United are third with 60 points, Liverpool are fourth with 58 points, Tottenham are fifth with 49 points and Arsenal are fourth Seventeen points came in sixth.

   In Turin, Italy, after being knocked out of the Champions League by Crystal Palace in midweek, Juventus beat Cagliari 4-0 in Serie A at the weekend.

   The next day, Raiola found Ibrahimovic.

   "How are you, Zlatan? Are you feeling better now?"

   Ibrahimovic scored two goals against Cagliari at the weekend and performed well.

   "Mino, I'm not that vulnerable. Just say something."

  Ibrahimovic gave Raiola a speechless look.

   "Nothing, just to ask how you feel about Crystal Palace?"

  Raiola asked with a smile.

   This guy is naive when he smiles, and it is very easy to make people feel good.

   "The strength is very strong, and there are also good guys. Especially their Huaguo head coach is very good."

   "So now it seems that you have no opinion on the transfer to Crystal Palace?"

  Raiola asked immediately.

   In fact, Raiola wanted Ibrahimovic to join Crystal Palace before, but Ibrahimovic himself had little interest in it.

   At this stage, although everyone agrees that the Premier League is on the rise, Serie A is not as brilliant as it was in the 1990s.

   But before the "Phone Door" incident, the Serie A teams represented by AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan were still one of the top teams in world football.

   The attractiveness of these giant clubs to stars is still not comparable to the Premier League teams.

   Even an established Premier League giant like Manchester United is no match, let alone an upstart like Crystal Palace.

   Therefore, in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's heart, even if he wants to leave Juventus, his preferred target is definitely not Crystal Palace.

   However, in the eyes of the shrewd fat man Raiola, the rising Premier League is a huge gold mine to be developed.

   And Crystal Palace, a newly emerging team in the Premier League, is the diamond buried in this gold mine.

   So, he desperately wanted to push Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Crystal Palace in order to occupy a place in the big gold mine of the Premier League in time.

   "It depends on whether Crystal Palace has the ability to let Juventus let me go. Mino, you know what kind of person Mogi is."

   Hearing Ibrahimovic mention the name of the person he didn't want to hear, Raiola couldn't help but change his face.

   "Zlatan, the Chinese from Crystal Palace promised me that he would let Juventus let you go."

   "You mean that Chen Ran? Why did he do this? Is he throwing money at it? Juventus is not Arsenal."

  Good things do not go out, and bad things travel thousands of miles.

   Now in European football, almost everyone knows that Arsenal is short of money to build a new stadium.

   "This. That Chinese person seems to know a lot about Juventus, and he also vaguely revealed that this summer, Moji will probably no longer be the general manager of Juventus."

   "What? You mean that Chen Ran knows about Juventus?"

   Hearing Raiola’s words, Ibrahimovic was completely shocked.

   "Yes. Also, he probably knows something we don't know, which is why it's safe to assume that Moji is going to step down this summer."

   "This is unreasonable. That Chen Ran is Chinese, and Crystal Palace is also an English team. He doesn't seem to have anything to do with Italian football."

  Ibrahimovic really couldn't understand how Chen Ran knew so much about Italian football.

   "I don't know either. However, whether what Chen Ran said is true or not, it will be clear in a few months. If he was bragging before, then you would naturally not join Crystal Palace, and there would be no loss."

   "But if what he said is true. Then it means that something big is going to happen to Juventus. Zlatan, will you still object to joining Crystal Palace?"

   As she spoke, Raiola also became serious.

   "If something happens to Juventus, then I will definitely not stay here. Mino, just do as you say."

   "Okay. Zlatan, don't worry, I'll handle everything for you, and you won't suffer."

   Seeing that Ibrahimovic was finally persuaded, Raiola finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   Now everything is ready, just wait until something happens to Juventus.

  London, Crystal Palace Club.

  Chen Ran and his assistants gathered again in front of the TV in the club restaurant.

   That's right, the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals is about to begin again.

   Last time, after Crystal Palace drew Real Madrid, Chen Ran quietly used the "redraw card".

   But the power of the system, after all, was defeated by his non-chief attribute.

   Changed from Real Madrid to Juventus. At this stage, Chen Ran doesn't think it's much better.

   Therefore, today's draw Chen Ran intends to leave it to his fate, and UEFA Association can draw whatever he wants.

   Anyway, Crystal Palace's goal is to win the Champions League. In the end, they still have to touch such an old and strong team, and they cannot escape.

   However, the truth is so ruthless.

  When the lucky draw guests read out the name of Crystal Palace, there was a sound of abuse in the club restaurant.

  Because, Crystal Palace's opponent this time turned out to be Real Madrid again.

   Is this special meow the enemy's road is narrow?

   Looking at the top eight matchup on the TV screen, Chen Ran was completely speechless.

  Imperialism will never die.

  Should I use the "Redraw Card"?

   Chen Ran, who had already made up his mind, was a little shaken at this moment.

   Check out the other teams on the list: Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Inter.

   Forget it, accept your fate.

   With his non-Emirati attributes, even if he uses a "redraw card", maybe he will be replaced by a team like Barcelona, ​​what's the point?

   "Boss, what should I do now?"

   Guardiola, who was sitting next to Chen Ran, was also shocked. What kind of luck was this?

  Two draws, both times to Real Madrid.

   Others don't know that Guardiola, who was born in Barcelona, ​​is very clear about Real Madrid's strength.

  Although Real Madrid is a bit downhill now compared to the previous two years.

   But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, just looking at the names of the stars in their team is enough to scare people.

   "What to do? Isn't it Real Madrid? We have already won AC Milan, eliminated Juventus, and now we will send Real Madrid home."

   "That's right, the boss is right. Isn't it Real Madrid? It's fine if you don't meet us Crystal Palace. If you do, then kill it!"

  Southgate, Chen Ran's favorite, stood up again in time, sharing his responsibilities for the boss.

   "Yes, kill Real Madrid!"

   "Kill Real Madrid!"

  Because the result of the lottery was not very good, Chen Ran was still a little gloomy when he returned home, and then Cheryl found out.

   "Dear, what's wrong? Did something unpleasant happen today?"

   "It's nothing, it's just that the result of the Champions League draw today was not very good. Crystal Palace drew Real Madrid again."

   "Real Madrid? Is that the team that Beckham played for?"

   "That's right, what? You know this team too?"

  Chen Ran glanced at Cheryl in surprise. She had no interest in football, and the two of them never talked about football at home.

   "Oh, I met Victoria when I attended an event two days ago, and I heard her talk about Real Madrid."

   "Victoria? You mean Beckham's wife?"

   "Yeah, she came back from Spain this time for a business event. We got along pretty well, and then I heard her complain a lot about Real Madrid."

   "Oh? What did she complain about? Tell me."

   Chen Ran immediately became interested, took Cheryl in his arms, and the two sat on the sofa and chatted about the gossip that Cheryl heard.

  Victoria and Cheryl both debuted in women's groups, and the other half are football practitioners, and they have a common language with each other.

   And the Spaniards speak Spanish, and Victoria is always a little out of place there, so she goes to England whenever she gets a chance.

   This time, the two of them participated in a business event together, and they hit it off right away.

   "The main thing is to complain about the serious situation of gangs in Real Madrid, and the infighting is fierce. Beckham is not happy there and wants to transfer and leave."

   Sheryl was petite, curled up in Chen Ran's arms, and said while listening to Chen Ran's heartbeat.

   "Why would she talk to you about this? Don't you women usually talk about clothes, bags, cosmetics and so on?"

  Chen Ran doesn't understand the topics that women usually talk about, but he is definitely not football.

   "I don't know either. In fact, I haven't seen Victoria before. When I debuted, the Spice Girls group had disbanded, and she was married to Beckham."

   "We didn't know each other until after the organizer's introduction this time. I didn't expect Victoria to be so enthusiastic, she pulled me to talk a lot, maybe she didn't have much chat in Spain."

   "Did she take the initiative to chat with you?"

  Chen Ran seemed to have found something unusual.

   "Yeah, what's wrong? Honey, what's the problem?"

  Cheryl raised her head from Chen Ran's chest and looked at Chen Ran with big flickering eyes.

   "Oh, no problem. Dear, you will contact Victoria tomorrow and tell her I know what she means. The door of the Crystal Palace will always be open to Beckham."

   "Dear, do you mean that Beckham wants to join your Crystal Palace?"

"Not necessarily, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. Maybe, this is just a test by Victoria, and does not represent what Beckham himself meant. As for whether it is true, it depends on whether there will be any on Beckham's side. further action."

   "So it is. No wonder Victoria was so enthusiastic that day, I really thought I had made a good friend."

"Haha, little fool. Victoria spoke for Beckham without affecting your relationship with her. You are my Chen Ran woman. There will only be more and more such things in the future. You have to get used to it as soon as possible. Okay."

  Chen Ran smiled and hugged Cheryl even tighter, gently stroking her smooth hair.

   A woman who can gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, how can there be a simple one?

   is nothing more than that the man who is still not used to her is the owner of a newly emerging wealthy club.

   Even seniors in the entertainment industry like Victoria have to curry favor with Cheryl now. It seems that Crystal Palace Club's status in the hearts of these top stars has indeed improved a lot.

  Thinking of this, Chen Ran was in a good mood.

   picked up Cheryl and walked straight to the bedroom.
