Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 222 Stealing from Bayern Munich in Germany

   "Louis, didn't you wake up after drinking too much last night?"

  Chen Ran covered his forehead, which side is this guy standing on?

   "What did you say? Chen, I'm sober now."

   Little Fatty didn't understand what Chen Ran meant, and looked at Chen Ran with a puzzled expression.

   "Luis, what you said just now is estimated according to the normal state. However, is the current AC Milan normal?"

   "It doesn't seem normal."

   Hearing Chen Ran say this, the little fat man seemed to have reacted a bit.

   "Chen, what do you mean, AC Milan is panicking now because of the phone door, so we can take the opportunity to lower the price?"

   "That's right. Now the whole thing is still fermenting, I guess even the top management of AC Milan doesn't know if the team will be punished and relegated."

   "And once the team is determined to be relegated, then many of these big-name stars will definitely want to transfer and leave."

   "At that time, AC Milan may have to face the situation of being crazily undercutting the price. Therefore, if it has to sell, it is better to sell it at a slightly higher price while everyone is watching."

   "So, Luis, when you go to negotiate with AC Milan, you may wish to clarify this point. AC Milan's general manager Galliani is also an old fox. He must know in his heart that the situation you said is absolutely possible."

   "Understood. Chen, it's still your brain."

   After listening to Chen Ran's analysis, Louis is now completely enlightened.

   He was still judging the transfer price according to his past habits, and he forgot to take the current special circumstances into account.

   "Just understand. One more thing, before you go to Milan, don't forget to sign the little guy who stayed in Germany."

   "German little guy?"

  Little Fatty looked at Chen Ran with a bewildered expression, who is this talking about?

   "You wouldn't forget last year's Kroos, whose father didn't want him to leave Germany so early because he was too young?"

  Chen Ran glanced at Louis speechlessly, it seemed that this little fat man really forgot.

   "Ah, haha, how can I forget it. I just had a short-circuit in my brain for a while, I just didn't remember it."

   touched the back of his head, and Louis himself was a little embarrassed.

   Although Kroos is young, he is still a player that Crystal Palace is going to introduce. He forgot about it, which is really inappropriate.

   "Don't forget that his father also signed a contract with our youth team, and Tuchel came forward to contact him about this matter. It's a two-pronged approach to avoid any further problems."

   "Okay, I'll make arrangements."

   In order to make up for his fault, the little fat man quickly patted his chest to assure Chen Ran.

   However, I thought it was just an incidental deal, but a transfer that had been negotiated last year turned out to be an accident.

   Early the next morning, Chen Ran had just come to work at the Crystal Palace Club, and the little fat man brought Tuchel to find him.

   "Chen, there's something wrong with Cross."

   The little fat man threw bad news to Chen Ran as soon as he entered the door, which made Chen Ran, who was in a good mood, suddenly look down.

   "Tell me, what's going on?"

   Seeing Tuchel also coming along, Chen Ran immediately had an ominous feeling in his heart, wouldn't Kroos be targeted by Bayern Munich's scouts?

   "Thomas, you are more familiar with the situation in Germany. Let's talk to Chen about it."

   This time, the little fat man did not speak, but pushed Tuchel out.

"Okay. Boss, according to Kroos' father, Roland Kroos, Kroos did a great job representing Rostock in the German Under-17 Football Championship, helping Rostock win the national runner-up, causing Bayern Munich Scout's attention."

   "Now Bayern Munich has found him and also wants to introduce Kroos, so he is very embarrassed now."

   Tuchel didn’t talk nonsense, he explained the cause and effect of the matter in a few words.

  The embarrassment of shit, isn't it because he saw the Bundesliga squad Bayern Munich also took a fancy to his son, and wanted Kroos to go to Bayern Munich?

  Chen Ran used his **** to know what that Roland Cross was fighting.

   However, he made the layout a year in advance. Of course, it is impossible to give up Kroos because of the appearance of Bayern Munich.

   After making up his mind, Chen Ran looked up at the little fat man.

   "Luis, next time you focus on AC Milan, you don't care about this matter."

   "Okay, I see. But we just gave up on that kid Cross?"

   Little Fatty glanced at Chen Ran in surprise, this is not Chen Ran's style.

   "Give up? How is that possible?"

  Chen Ran then turned his attention to Tuchel, "Thomas, please accompany me to Germany, and I want to have a good talk with that Roland Cross."

"no problem."

   Tuchel nodded, still so straightforward.

   "Chen, you have to go out in person for a child, what about it?"

   In the eyes of the little fat man, the current Chen Ran has become famous, and he is already a big man in the football circle. It's not that Chen Ran, who just took over the Crystal Palace back then, was nothing.

   "It doesn't matter. This Cross will be one of the important members of our Crystal Palace in the future, and it is worth my trip in person."

"so smart?"

   Seeing that Chen Ran rated this Cross so highly, the little fat man couldn't help but ask a question.

   "Have you ever seen me go wrong when picking young players?"

   "Uh, this really isn't there."

   "That's all that nonsense? Things on your side are more complicated, so go back and get ready. I hope you can bring me good news when I come back."

After    assigned the task, Chen Ran flew to Rostock with Tuchel the next day to visit the Cross family in person.

  Although they are middle class, Cross's family still maintains a simple style, which may be related to their family origin in East Germany.

  Because we contacted in advance, Roland Cross stayed at home today to receive Chen Ran and Tuchel.

   may be influenced by Tuchel. Chen Ran felt that it is better not to go around detours when dealing with the Germans. It is better to talk about things directly.

   "Mr. Cross, the purpose of my visit this time must be clear to you. We made an agreement last year that Tony will officially join the Crystal Palace Club this year. I don't know if you have any concerns now? You might as well say it directly."

  Roland Cross did not expect Chen Ran, a Chinese, to speak more directly than a German, and was a little stunned for a while.

   "Since Mr. Chen is so refreshing, then I will say it straight. I believe that Mr. Chen also knows the status of Bayern Munich in Germany. This time they also took a fancy to Tony."

   "The most important thing is that if he joins Bayern Munich, Tony will not have to leave Germany. After all, Tony is still young. Frankly speaking, I am a little tempted."

   I knew it would be like this

  Chen Ran secretly complained in his heart that Bayern Munich is simply a bully in the Bundesliga.

  Other German teams are like Bayern Munich's vegetable garden. Whoever's leek grows well, he will grab it directly.

  Is there still king law? Is there any reason?

   It's really enviable!

   It would be nice when Crystal Palace could use other Premier League teams as a vegetable garden.

   cleaned up the thoughts that had begun to daydream, Chen Ran took out a few photos from his pocket and handed them to Roland Cross. The photos were all photos of Chen Ran with various championship trophies.

   Then, Chen Ran took out a list with the names and ages of all Crystal Palace players. Also handed it to Roland Cross.

   If those photos were meant to show the achievements of Crystal Palace Club, then the list of Crystal Palace players made Roland Kroos somewhat confused about what Chen Ran meant.

   "Mr. Chen, what does this mean?"

  Roland Cross pointed to the Crystal Palace player list in his hand and asked inexplicably.

   "Mr. Kroos, this is a list of all our Crystal Palace players. Each player's name is marked with their age and the time they played this season."

   "You can take a closer look, we Crystal Palace have a lot of young players, and many of them have already played the main force."

   "You are also a youth team coach, and you should know how important it is for young players to have the opportunity to exercise on the field."

   "We Crystal Palace can provide so many young players with the opportunity to play, and even let them play as the main force. Can Bayern Munich do it?"

   "If Tony Jr. does not get enough opportunities to play at the stage when he most needs to improve the ball through actual combat training, it will directly affect the height he can reach in his career. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

  Chen Ran knows that Crystal Palace has almost no advantage over Bayern Munich.

   In terms of heritage and achievements, Bundesliga hegemons Bayern Munich can kill Crystal Palace in seconds.

  In terms of financial resources, although Chen Ran is a bit rich now, it is nothing compared to Bayern Munich, which has dominated the Bundesliga for many years.

  So, Chen Ran chose to find a breakthrough from Tony Cross.

   As a father, Roland Cross definitely wants his son to be as good as possible.

   And what can Crystal Palace promise, but Bayern Munich can't give?

   I'm afraid it's only Tony Cross playing time.

   Facts have also proved that Chen Ran's strategy is effective.

   At least, Roland Cross fell silent after hearing Chen Ran's words.

  What is true and what is false, Roland Cross can still divide it, and the data will not lie.

   Since Crystal Palace suddenly went to Germany to sign his son last year, Roland Kroos has been following the development of this team in the past year.

   Roland Kroos, who used to only watch the Bundesliga, has also started watching Premier League games this year.

  Especially in Crystal Palace's games, it's even more so.

   Now, Roland Kroos can be said to be familiar with the main players of Crystal Palace. Even some of the bench players who often play, he can name them.

   Therefore, when he saw the playing time provided on Chen Ran's list, he roughly judged that these data were true.

  Because, he has also checked the information of some Crystal Palace players, and there are really many young people in their twenties who have already played the main force.

   At this moment, Roland Cross was really tempted.

   As a youth team coach, he very much agrees with what Chen Ran just said.

  The opportunity of high-level actual combat training is really important to Tony Cross who is in the stage of increasing the ball.

   Thinking about the current Bayern Munich lineup, Roland Kroos shook his head secretly. Although he was very optimistic about his son, he did not think that Tony would be able to play in Bayern Munich in the short term.

  Thinking of this, Roland Cross finally made up his mind to move the whole family to London together.

   "Mr. Chen, thank you very much for your attention to Tony. Our family is very honored to be able to join the Crystal Palace Club."

"Haha, well, great! Mr. Cross, as the chairman and head coach of Crystal Palace Club, I can assure you that we will definitely provide the best growth environment for Tony, and in the future, he will also become Crystal Palace's coach. important member."

   Seeing that Roland Cross finally agreed to let his son join the Crystal Palace, Chen Ran was also relieved.

   After all, in Germany, Chen Ran is really not sure about stealing someone from Bayern Munich’s nose.

   "Thank you, Mr. Chen. But little Tony is still young, so my mother and I are worried about him going to London alone, so I plan to move the whole family to London together."

   "But we are not familiar with London, so we need the club to help us find a house. It's better to be close to the club and not too expensive."

   "No problem. Don't worry, Mr. Cross, these are trivial matters. When you arrive in London, I will send someone to help your family deal with these matters and make sure you find a satisfactory house."

After    got Cross, Chen Ran returned to London with Tuchel.

   But in Germany, it didn't end there.

  At Bayern Munich, the two giants Rummenigge and Hoeness discussed Tony Kroos.

   Originally, the scout below found a potential young player, and after reporting back, the club sent someone to sign the young player.

   For Bayern Munich, this is a very common operation.

   But unexpectedly, the young player's father not only rejected the call of Bayern Munich, but also turned around and took his son to join the new Champions League champions England's Crystal Palace Club.

  When did the English teams reach out to Germany? And he stole a young player who just turned sixteen from Bayern Munich, the hegemon of German football.

   "Uli, what do you think this Crystal Palace wants to do?"

  Rummenigge asked his deputy Hoeness.

   "Who knows. However, Germany has always been our Bayern Munich's territory, and they dared to steal people from us. This Crystal Palace is not very sensible, and they must teach them a lesson."

   As the vice chairman of the Bayern Munich board in charge of athletic affairs, buying and selling players is one of Hoeness’s responsibility. Crystal Palace is hitting him in the face.
