Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

  Chapter 290 Making money cannot be extrapolated

   "What do the Spaniards know, they simply don't understand how sinister Chen Ran is. Jorge, you have known Chen Ran longer than me, do you believe he would make such a stupid decision?"

   Mourinho curled his lips in disdain, as if he was waiting to see a good show.

   A proud man like him had to leave the UK for a while after losing to Chen Ran for three consecutive years.

   These ignorant Spaniards still naively think that they have taken advantage of the sky?

   Mourinho can be sure that Chen Ran will never make a loss-making business, and these Spaniards will definitely regret it in the future.

   "That's true. Ever since I met Chen Ran, I haven't seen him do a loss-making business. It seems that this transfer between Crystal Palace and Barcelona must have a secret that we don't understand."

  Mendez also agrees with Mourinho's view. After years of observation, Chen Ran has always made some surprising things, and after the fact, his decision is often proved to be right.

   "But that's fine. The strength of Barcelona has been greatly enhanced, and presumably the pressure on the management of Real Madrid will also increase."

   "If Calderon was smart, he would not have chosen Schuster, who has never coached a giant club or won any championship trophies."

   Mourinho also felt a little funny while commenting on the impact of this transfer incident. He did not expect that he would become an indirect beneficiary of this transfer.

  Things are just as Mourinho predicted. When the entire Spanish media applauded for Barcelona's transfer operation, the management of Real Madrid Club was also a little unable to sit still.

   They quickly signed a three-year coaching contract with Mourinho, and Mourinho also completed a gorgeous turnaround, jumping directly from the Premier League upstart Chelsea to the top giant Real Madrid.

   At the signing press conference held for him by Real Madrid, Mourinho made a very high-profile ridicule that Barcelona had caught Chen Ran's trap. Now he seems to have taken advantage of it, but he will regret it in the future.

   This time Mourinho stabbed a hornet's nest, and the scene of the press conference was instantly fried.

   In particular, the media, led by Barcelona's mouthpiece "Sports World", have launched a series of attacks on Mourinho on this matter.

   In addition to facing Chen Ran, when did Mourinho counsel?

  The entire press conference suddenly turned into a show for him alone. Soldiers came to block, water came to cover, and Mourinho really staged a football version of the tongue war.

   Sitting next to Mourinho, Calderon and Mijatovic, who accompanied him to the press conference, were dumbfounded.

   Te Meow’s self has invited someone to be the head coach. He has been fighting with the media since the press conference he took office. I’m afraid I won’t think about peace in the future.

  London, Crystal Palace Club.

   The little fat man happily walked into Chen Ran's office with a stack of newspapers in his arms.

   "Chen, come and see, the sun is coming out of the west, and that guy Mourinho actually defended you at the press conference when he took office, saying that the Barcelona club will definitely regret completing this transfer transaction in the future."

   "Oh? Is that right? I didn't expect Mourinho to be quite insightful. He deserves to be an opponent who can compete with me for three years."

  “.”

   Seeing that Chen Ranyun said cheeky words lightly, the little fat man was speechless for a while, this guy's face is getting thicker and thicker now.

   "This Mourinho is really smart. As soon as he took office, he made such a move. He not only presented his name to Real Madrid, but also pulled the focus of public opinion from Barcelona to himself."

   "And the stronger my ability is, the less incompetent he, my defeated general, will be. It's really killing three birds with one stone."

   Looking at the newspaper brought by the little fat man, Chen Ran was also amazed by Mourinho's methods. This is the real Mourinho. He was suppressed by himself for three years before. It was really difficult for him.

"Chen, what the media said is not completely unreasonable. After Zlatan Ibrahimovic leaves, the strength of our team will indeed be affected. What are you going to do next? Do you have a target? I'm good. Get ready now."

  Luis didn't care about Mourinho, he just waited for Chen Ran's order to shoot again.

   "Of course there are goals, but you don't need to do any preparations. You will inform the Willian II club later that Dzeko and Cavani will return to the Crystal Palace first team next season and will no longer be on loan."

   "Ah? Chen, don't you want to use these two young futures in their early twenties to replace the vacancy left by Ibrahimovic?"

   Little Fatty's eyes widened, and he was once again surprised by Chen Ran's decision.

   "Yes, I bought them to prepare for today's situation. After the training in the Eredivisie, I believe they can surprise us in the new season."

  “.Hope they didn’t bring shock.”

   The little fat man whispered.

"What did you say?"

   There were only two of them in the office, and Chen Ran could hear Louis's voice clearly.

   "Nothing. But, Chen, do you really think these two kids can replace Ibrahimovic?"

   Little Fatty was really worried and couldn't help but ask another question.

   "Of course, Cavani and Dzeko are both very talented strikers. And more importantly, don't forget that Messi."

   "Well, you are the boss and you have the final say."

   Based on Chen Ran's successful cases over the years, although Louis did not agree with his idea, he finally chose to support Chen Ran's decision.

Since Crystal Palace and Barcelona fired the first shot of the transfer period in the summer of 2007, the entire European football transfer market has been turbulent, and large-scale transfer transactions have been exposed continuously, making the masses of melon eaters on the tree very happy. .

   After acquiring Ibrahimovic, Barcelona made another move, first buying French striker Henry from Arsenal for 24 million euros.

   Then he brought in Argentine defender Gabi Milito from Zaragoza for 17 million euros, and French defender Abidal from Lyon for 15 million euros.

   And Mourinho, who just took office at Real Madrid, was not idle. He made a big deal as soon as he made a move. He first bought his favorite Robben from his old club Chelsea for 36 million euros.

Then he introduced Dutch midfielder Sneijder from Ajax for 27 million euros, bought Dutch left-back Drenthe from Feyenoord for 14 million euros, and bought 12.5 million from Manchester United. The Euro introduced the Argentine defender Heinze.

In the end, Mourinho has not spent a penny to introduce Barcelona's Argentine striker Saviola, Dortmund's German central defender Metzelder, and Liverpool's Polish goalkeeper Dudek, as well as from Arsenal. Brazilian midfielder Baptista returned on loan.

   In the Premier League, Liverpool, which had just been acquired by two Americans, George Gillette and Tom Hicks, was a blockbuster and introduced Spanish golden boy Torres from Atletico Madrid at a price of 36 million euros.

   On the Manchester United side, the Glazer family, who was persuaded by Ferguson, was finally willing to pay this time.

   They first bought England midfielder Hargreaves from Bayern Munich for 25 million euros, then introduced Brazilian midfielder Anderson from Porto for 25 million euros, and bought Portuguese winger Nani for 21 million euros.

   Finally, Manchester United also loaned Argentine striker Tevez from West Ham United for 3 million euros.

  Here at Chelsea, Peter Kenyon also bought Ancelotti the Italian midfielder Pirlo, whom he longed for. It's just that Galliani is not a good stubborn, and he took 30 million euros from Chelsea with a knife.

  Because Chelsea's original lineup is already very strong, the rest of the transfer is mainly based on checking and filling omissions.

   They spent 20 million euros to introduce French left-winger Malouda from Lyon, and bought Brazilian right-back Belletti from Barcelona for 5.5 million euros.

There are also Brazilian central defender Alex imported from PSV Eindhoven, Peruvian striker Pizarro imported from Bayern Munich, Israeli central defender Ben Haim imported from Bolton, and England midfielder West Germany imported from Reading. Weil didn't spend any money.

   AC Milan, which has recently sold its main players in a row, has also begun to supplement itself this time. They spent 22 million euros to introduce talented player Pato from Brazil international, and bought Brazilian midfielder Emerson from Real Madrid for 5.5 million euros.

   As for the Bundesliga squad, Bayern Munich, after losing the Bundesliga championship last season, this time, they have also come to their senses and are ready to increase investment.

   is still the old rule, first catch the little brothers in the Bundesliga.

They first bought German striker Klose from Bremen for 12 million euros, bought German defender Janssen from Borussia Monchengladbach for 9 million euros, and introduced Argentine midfielder from La Plata University for 4.5 million euros Sosa.

   Then, they set their sights on the Crystal Palace.

   "Chen, Bayern Munich sent an acquisition application, and they took a fancy to our Tony and Ribery."

  Little fat Luis once again walked into Chen Ran's office excitedly, waving the fax that Bayern Munich just sent in his hand.

   Hearing Little Fatty's words, Chen Ran didn't even raise his head, just threw two words: "Reject!"

   "Er Chen, don't you ask for their quotation?"

  Chen Ran's reaction once again surprised Little Fatty, this is a posture that he doesn't intend to talk about.

   "What? I don't plan to sell them no matter how high they bid. Bayern Munich doesn't have a player like Messi. If it's just money, it's not attractive to me."

  Chen Ran still stared at the document in his hand, without even looking at the little fat man.

   "Chen, what are you looking at? So focused?"

   Seeing Chen Ran ignoring him at all, the little fatty also brought his big head up curiously.

"Oh, this is the shortlist for this year's International Champions Cup. I didn't expect that just after the season ended, so many teams were rushing to sign up. There are so many teams, it's troublesome to choose anyone, and it's easy to offend people. "

   When the first International Champions Cup was held last year, it was only after Chen Ran’s family that the clubs personally invited four teams together.

   He didn't expect that after the great success of the event last year, he didn't need to worry about it this year. The faxes of the registration applications were sent to Stephen like a snowflake.

   Since there were too many teams signing up, Stephen couldn’t make up his mind, so he had to send the list to Chen Ran.

   "Louis, what do you think is the best choice?"

  Chen Ran was also having a headache about this matter, just when the little fat man came to ask his opinion.

"Chen, why do you want to choose? I don't think anyone who dares to sign up is an unknown person, so let's just bring them all. If you play one more game, you will earn more money for one more game, don't do it for nothing. ."

   Little Fatty doesn't care so much, there is only one thought in his mind, that is, things that can make money can't be pushed out.

   "Bring them all?"

  Chen Ran was immediately full of black lines. A dozen or 20 giant teams gathered to play games together. Wouldn't that be equivalent to the club version of the World Cup?

   This movement is even bigger than G14, and the coffins of FIFA and UEFA can no longer be held down.

   However, what the little fat man said is not without reason.

  Everyone comes to sign up for the competition to make money. If you don’t bring someone, they will go to other competitions, which is equivalent to sending ammunition to the competitors of the “International Champions Cup”.

   After thinking about it, Chen Ran felt that it was more suitable to earn this money by himself, so he would not bother others.

   "Stephen, come here and let's discuss the 'International Champions Cup'."

   Stephen, who received Chen Ran's call, quickly came to Chen Ran's office, "Chen, have you selected the list?"

   As soon as he entered the door, Stephen hurriedly asked for the result.

  He is now being harassed by phone calls from the executives of major clubs every day, and none of them can be offended, and Stephen is also annoying to death.

   "After thinking about it, thanks to Luis' reminder, I decided to bring all the teams that signed up."

  “.”

   Sure enough, just like Chen Ran's initial reaction, Stephen's head was full of black lines.

   "Chen, are you trying to hold the Club World Cup? Are you not afraid of being troubled by FIFA and UEFA?"

   "Haha, Stephen, don't worry, I've already figured out what to do."

   Seeing Stephen's anxious eyes, Chen Ran quickly appeased his right-hand man.

"It's impossible for so many teams to get together, there is too much movement. So, I decided to divide this 'International Champions Cup' into several divisions, with four to five teams in each division, so that it will not be conspicuous. You how do you feel?"

   "Competition in divisions? That's one way. However, how do you plan to divide divisions?"

   "It's very simple. Four divisions are set up in rich places like North America, East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Through lottery, each division is composed of four or five teams, and then the prize money is distributed according to the performance of the division."

   "Achievement ranking? You don't want to have a finals, do you?"

   Stephen looked at Chen Ran suspiciously.

   "Cough, don't do it for the time being, don't do it for the time being."
