Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 275 Empty Gloves White Wolf

   The Champions League match with Bayern Munich was held on the evening of April 17. After the match, Chen Ran flew back to the UK with the Crystal Palace team overnight.

When    arrived in London, it was already in the early morning of April 18. Chen Ran did not let the team go home, but instead went directly to the hotel to rest.

   When the team gathered again, it was already afternoon.

  Because tomorrow, April 19, Crystal Palace will usher in the thirty-fourth round of the Premier League, against Fulham at home.

   Therefore, Chen Ran did not arrange any training content, but just asked the assistant coach to jog and relax with the players, and asked the physical fitness coach and team doctor to test the physical function of each player.

   However, the test results are not optimistic.

   "Boss, the test report is out. Our main players are in very bad physical condition and are in a very tired state. The team doctor's opinion is: it's better to let them rest, otherwise there will likely be extensive injuries."

   At the same time as the report, Guardiola handed Chen Ran the freshly released test report, his face full of anxiety.

   glanced at the test report, Chen Ran also sank in his heart.

   The biggest fear of being a head coach is that there are large-scale injuries in the team, and it is useless if the best players cannot play.

  At a critical moment in the fight for the Premier League title, if the team suffers extensive injuries, it almost means saying goodbye to the championship.

   Thinking of this, Chen Ran decided to make a large-scale random change in the game against Fulham tomorrow.

  Because in this round of the Premier League, Manchester United and Chelsea are going to play directly, Chen Ran feels that there is a high possibility of a draw between the two.

   In this way, even if Crystal Palace fails to take Fulham because of their large rotation, there is a good chance to maintain the lead.

  Therefore, Chen Ran made a large rotation of Crystal Palace's starting lineup tomorrow, and all the players who played the full game in the away game against Bayern Munich were put on the bench by him.

   The only good news is that Ronaldo finally survived three games of **** and returned to the starting lineup.

   Fulham are now 15th in the Premier League, just three points above the relegation zone and in danger of falling into the relegation zone at any time.

   As we all know, when the end of the season is approaching, the relegation team is less easy to mess with than the championship team.

   After all, one is for honor and the other is for survival, but the latter will really fight with you.

   In the face of Fulham, who are in a state of relegation, Crystal Palace, who played on the bench, will not take any advantage at all.

   If you only look at the progress of this game, you can't see that this is a competition between a championship contending team and a relegation team.

   As the only main player of Crystal Palace on the field, Ronaldo, who has held back three games, has performed quite well.

  Unfortunately, Ronaldo was alone. Although he scored a goal, the backup backline composed of Southgate and Pepe made a fatal mistake, and Fulham striker Razinski seized the opportunity to equalize the score.

   Fortunately, Chen Ran's judgment was completely correct.

  Although Crystal Palace was tied 1:1 by Fulham, Chelsea also drew 0:0 with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in the focus of this round of the Premier League.

   In the final sprint of the Premier League, the three title contenders hit the brakes at the same time.

   The difference in points between the three teams remained within three points, causing many of the melon eaters who were watching the fun to flash their old waists.

   "Unfortunately, no one of Manchester United and Chelsea could seize such a good opportunity that Crystal Palace was drawn by Fulham!"

   "Whoever wins the game, Manchester United or Chelsea, can catch up or close the gap with Crystal Palace. It's a pity that both teams are too unsatisfactory."

   "That Chinese man's luck is really good, and he escaped the disaster again."

   "The three championship teams have only scored one point. It seems that the suspense of this season's Premier League championship will not be known until the last minute."

   "Breaking Crystal Palace's monopoly on the Premier League title, Manchester United and Chelsea have to cheer!"

   Chen Ran didn't have the heart to pay attention to the news in the media, because the Champions League semi-final match situation has already come out.

  Crystal Palace vs AC Milan, Chelsea vs Liverpool.

  The Premier League has become the big winner of the Champions League this season. Among the four participating teams in the semi-finals, three Premier League teams appeared.

And Ancelotti is really powerful. After experiencing the shock of the "Italian phone door" and losing two generals, Shevchenko and Kaka, he still took AC Milan to the semi-finals of the Champions League. As expected of the famous coach who was able to stand still in the five major leagues later on.

   After the match against Fulham, there was still only one day of rest. On April 21, in the thirty-fifth round of the Premier League, Chen Ran took Crystal Palace to an away game against Bolton.

   This time, Chen Ran used the "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card" for Simeone and put him in the starting lineup.

  Because Vieira was injured and missed, Mascherano and Yaya Toure had to play consecutively, and their physical condition is now extremely tired.

   In order for them to have a better state to play in the next Champions League semi-finals, Chen Ran decided to use the "chicken blood version" of Simeone and Modric as the double midfielder in this game.

   Facts have proved that the quality of things produced by the system is still guaranteed.

   In this game, Simeone, who has not started for a long time, made everyone fall through the glasses.

   He can be seen everywhere from the restricted area of ​​the side to the restricted area of ​​the opponent.

   From offense to defense, he always appears in key positions.

   If you only look at the performance of this game, no one will believe that this is a 37-year-old veteran.

  In the end, with the goals of Ibrahimovic and Simeone, Crystal Palace defeated Bolton 2:1 away.

   At the same time as he got the key three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card" from the system.

   In other matches in the Premier League this round, Manchester United beat Middlesbrough 2:1 at Old Trafford, and Chelsea beat Newcastle United 1:0 away.

  Crystal Palace is still two points ahead of Manchester United and three points ahead of Chelsea, and the level of anxiety in the Premier League title race this season is beyond everyone's imagination.

   "Chen, the Red Bull Group seems to be very interested in your proposal. They have heard from them that they are ready to have further discussions with us on how much the two clubs, Red Bull Salzburg and Red Bull New York, can exchange shares in Galaxy Football Group."

   Do Crystal Palace have a three-day break before the start of the Champions League semi-final with AC Milan.

   However, the team members can rest, but Chen Ran has no such blessing, and he was blocked in the office by Stephen again.

   "Oh? So the Red Bull Group is willing to add the two clubs in their hands to our Galaxy Football Group?"

  Chen Ran did not know that Red Bull Group boss Dietrich Mattschitz came to watch the Champions League match in which Crystal Palace eliminated Bayern Munich.

   But he is still very happy that this big sponsor intends to participate in his Galaxy Football Group plan.

After all, except for Crystal Palace, other clubs in the Galaxy Football Group need to continue to invest in blood transfusions for a long time, and there is no hope of profit in a short period of time. This requires a good money owner willing to continuously invest money in it .

   Half of the funds Chen Ran spent on acquiring the club was provided by the system, and the remaining half was originally paid for by Chen Ran himself.

   Now if the Red Bull Group can be fooled in, Chen Ran intends to let the Red Bull Group come out with the acquisition funds on the other side.

   He has already thought about it. If he acquires a new club in the future, he will put on a gesture of willingness to share the equity and invite the Red Bull Group to contribute together, with each party accounting for 50% of the equity.

   In this way, half of the funds for the acquisition of the club will be provided by the system and half by the Red Bull Group, and he can get 50% of the new club's equity with empty hands, which is great!

   "It's hard to say, but it's certain that they are interested. Whether it can be negotiated depends on how many shares of the Galaxy Football Group can be exchanged by the Salzburg Red Bulls and the New York Red Bulls?"

   After listening to Stephen's answer, Chen Ran nodded slightly.

  Red Bull Group certainly hopes that the Red Bull Salzburg and New York Red Bull clubs can exchange more shares of the Galaxy Football Group, but the two clubs have nothing to achieve.

   Neither the Austrian League nor the Major League Soccer can compare to the Premier League and the Champions League.

   Therefore, as long as Crystal Palace's results are good enough, then Red Bull Group has no confidence in trying to bargain.

  Thinking of this, Chen Ran turned to look at Stephen.

"Stephen, tell the people at Red Bull Group that it's a crucial stage for Crystal Palace to compete for the Premier League title and the Champions League. I don't have the energy to discuss with them about the exchange of shares. If you want to talk, please wait until the end of the season. Let's talk later."

   "Chen, are you planning to kill the Red Bull Group after Crystal Palace won the Premier League and Champions League this season?"

   Stephen was all too familiar with the thoughts of his friend.

"That's right. If Crystal Palace can win the Premier League three consecutive championships and win the Champions League, the valuation of those Crystal Palace clubs will definitely increase significantly. When the time comes, I will discuss with Red Bull Group about replacing the shares of Galaxy Football Group. It will go a lot better.”

   "Chen, if Crystal Palace can win three consecutive Premier League titles and the Champions League, how many shares of Galaxy Football Group do you plan to give to Red Bull Group?"

   Stephen looked at Chen Ran with a smile, his tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about something trivial.

  Although Crystal Palace is currently in a very anxious situation in the Premier League, a slight mistake may lose the championship trophy.

   But as long as Chen Ran is there, Crystal Palace is full of confidence from top to bottom, and has never doubted that the championship trophy will slip out of his hands.

   "I don't know, everything will wait until the champion is in hand."

After    sent Stephen away, Chen Ran focused his energy on the team again.

  The rest are false, only the results are real.

   How easy is it to get Red Bull Group to pay for it?

  Why Dietrich Mattschitz invests in football, isn't it just to promote his Red Bull drink?

   wants to make him bleed, only the championship trophy can achieve this purpose.

  Although Chen Ran has always looked confident in front of his subordinates, but he was cautious in private, and he never relaxed for a moment.

   Chen Ran actually admires AC Milan, the next Champions League semi-final opponent.

   After Abramovich and himself poached Shevchenko and Kaka respectively, they were able to reach the Champions League semi-finals, which was beyond Chen Ran’s expectations.

  Last summer, after the loss of two generals, Galliani also made some additions to AC Milan.

   They brought in Gourcuff, known as Zidane's successor, from Rennes, and bought Brazilian striker Oliveira from Sevilla.

   There are striker Bolleno, midfielder Brocchi, defender Bonera, Favalli and others.

   There are a lot of people, but none of them can play the main force. Ancelotti still relies on his old team for support.

   In the face of Crystal Palace, the defending Champion of the Champions League, An Fatty also did his best to obey his destiny and sent the strongest lineup he could come up with.

   striker Inzaghi, striker Gilardino

   Seedorf

  Ambrosini, Pirlo, Gattuso

   Left-back Jankulovsky, center-back Maldini, center-back Nesta, right-back Odoi

   Goalkeeper Dida

   On the Crystal Palace side, the day before the start of the game, after training, Ibrahimovic quietly found Chen Ran again.

   "Boss, can I really be at my peak when I play tomorrow?"

   Looking at Ibrahimovic's expectant and anxious eyes, Chen Ran was a little speechless. Is this guy a little obsessed?

   "No problem, I guarantee you will be at your peak in tomorrow's game. I've been adjusting your state for a while since your last request. Everything is in place now, just waiting for tomorrow's game."

   "Really? That's great. But, boss, why don't I feel anything?"

   Seeing that Ibrahimovic, who is 195cm tall, has a tendency to become an old woman with a broken mouth, Chen Ran quickly shooed him away.

   Nonsense, I haven't used the "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card" for you, of course you don't feel it.

   "The game hasn't started yet, how can you feel it? Don't think about so many messes, get a good night's sleep, tomorrow you will be the most dazzling star in the world."

  April 25th, sunny and sunny, suitable for winning.

  The first leg of the Champions League semi-final was played at Crystal Palace's home ground. With two hours to go before the start of the game, there were already huge crowds outside Arsenal's new stadium.

  Since the new stadium of Crystal Palace has not been built yet, the fans of Crystal Palace are gradually getting used to coming to Arsenal to watch the game.

   And because Arsenal have been weak in the past two years, they have not even qualified for the Champions League. All the Champions League games played here are Crystal Palace games, and there is a lot of anti-customer attitude.

  Like today, there are Crystal Palace jerseys and flags everywhere in and around Arsenal's new stadium.

  Crystal Palace's team song resounded through the sky.
