Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

  Chapter 326

   To everyone's surprise, the FA was surprisingly efficient this time.

   Just three days after the match between Crystal Palace and Manchester United, the result of the additional penalty for Pepe came out.

   Eight-match suspension and £150,000 fine.

   "FxxxK! Chen, as you expected, these guys are really ruthless. Suspended for eight games and fined 150,000 pounds, this is already the heaviest fine ever issued by the FA."

   When seeing the result of the FA penalty, the little fat Lewis exploded on the spot.

   "It's a good calculation. There are only eight rounds left in the Premier League. This is because we want us to have no serious central defenders available in the next league."

   Seeing the result of this punishment, Chen Ran's face was ashen.

   He originally intended to calm things down and admit the punishment, but some people have to make an inch, so don't blame him for being rude.

   "Louis, you immediately contact the media reporters you are familiar with to challenge the FA's largest ticket in history. The penalty is too heavy."

"Especially the eight-match suspension, which is exactly the same as the remaining eight rounds of the Premier League. You let them seize this point and attack, implying that our competitors are colluding with FA officials, and do not want us to continue to defend the Premier League at Crystal Palace. league title."

   "In addition, the network navy under your command has also been launched. Online and offline, traditional media and new media are both mobilized to mobilize together. Spend the money that should be spent, don't worry about the money, understand?"

   "Okay. However, Chen, if it's just a public opinion war, the big men of the FA may not change the punishment result because of this."

  Through years of contact, Little Fatty has a clear idea of ​​the virtues of those FA officials.

   "Hehe, Louis, have you forgotten our cards?"

  Chen Ran gave Little Fatty a meaningful look, "The public opinion war is just an appetizer, don't worry, the main dish is in the back, just wait and watch the show."

"clear."

   After sending the little fat Louis away, Chen Ran called Stephen to the office again.

   "Stephen, in the name of Crystal Palace Club, you mentioned the above to the FA's excessive punishment for Pepe. Then, how about you accompany me to see your father?"

"no problem."

   Early the next morning, when many England fans opened the newspapers and magazines and found reports about Crystal Palace and Pepe, the position suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

   "The biggest fine in the history of the FA, is the sentence too heavy?"

   "It is undeniable that Pepe's behavior is indeed unsportsmanlike, but is it really serious enough to require an eight-game suspension?"

   "If Pepe's eight-match suspension is correct, does that mean that the FA's previous penalties for similar incidents were all too light?"

"As we all know, Crystal Palace has been plagued by injuries this season, especially the back line is seriously lacking. With only eight rounds left in the Premier League, the FA imposed an additional eight-game suspension on Pepe. This means that Crystal Palace is in the remaining eight games. There are two centre-backs in all the Premier Leagues, and it's hard to imagine."

   "The most direct beneficiaries of the FA's additional penalty on Pepe are Manchester United and Chelsea. Does the FA also want to see Crystal Palace continue to defend the Premier League title?"

   "I hope the FA will not be too much disturbed by factors off the field, we want to see more pure football."

   These days, many media reporters in England can be said to be in pain and joy. Although one by one is very busy, but the purse is indeed bulging a lot.

   First, because Crystal Palace defeated Manchester United in the key battle, they were busy correcting the mistakes of underestimating Crystal Palace before the game and flattering Crystal Palace.

   Immediately after, they all received a big order, and they began to stare at Pepe's foul and chased after Crystal Palace. They turned their faces faster than a book.

   Then, a more dramatic scene appeared.

   Under the direct intervention of various media executives, they received another big order with completely opposite requirements, and instead began to fight for Crystal Palace, questioning the FA’s biggest ticket in history.

   This one can make fans all over England dumbfounded.

  Te meow, the same media has repeatedly jumped in and out in just a few days, publishing many articles with completely opposite positions, and is not afraid of schizophrenia.

   And the FA once again broke out with jaw-dropping efficiency.

   The FA has responded to the above mentioned by Crystal Palace ahead of the start of the new Premier League round at the weekend.

   retracted the previous eight-match suspension for Pepe and a fine of £150,000, but changed it to a three-match suspension and a fine of £60,000.

   Manchester United Club, Ferguson Office.

  CEO Ed Woodward and Ferguson looked at each other, and the air pressure in the whole room was frighteningly low.

   "Sir Ferguson, what's the matter with the FA? Can the fines that have already been issued be corrected? Isn't this slapping yourself in the face?"

   Ed Woodward looked at Ferguson with an expression of disbelief.

   "Someone said something on it, even if the FA slaps the face, it can only recognize it."

  Ferguson pouted helplessly, and fought against the Chinese boy several times, but in the end he was suppressed by the backer behind him.

   This kid is really cunning, he prepared a killer for himself in advance, he is really unwilling.

   "Is it still the Marquis of Bath?"

   Ed Woodward asked in a low voice.

   In fact, Ed Woodward thanked Marquis of Bass before. Without him, David Gill would not have been poached by Chen Ran, and he would not have been able to take the seat of Manchester United CEO so quickly.

   However, now when he and Chen Ran and the Crystal Palace Club played head-to-head, the feeling was completely different.

   "That's right. Otherwise, even if the Chinese boy is willing to spend money to manipulate public opinion, it will be difficult to influence the FA's decision."

   "So this time it's over?" Ed Woodward was still a little unwilling.

"if not?"

  Ferguson glared at Ed Woodward angrily, and then reassured him a few words.

   "While Pepe's suspension has gone from eight to three, the fact that Crystal Palace has been plagued by injuries has not changed."

   "Now we just have to wait patiently, and sooner or later they will not be able to hold on to the collapse."

"Wait?"

   Ed Woodward rolled his eyes secretly.

   "I hope so."

   On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran couldn't help but celebrate a little when he learned that the FA had changed the decision to impose additional penalties.

   However, as Ferguson said, Crystal Palace's injury is still serious, and Chen Ran has to rack his brains for the formation of the next game.

  On March 22, in the thirty-first round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace went back to challenge Middlesbrough.

   Fortunately, this opponent is not very strong, and did not pose too much threat to the temporary center back combination of Thiago Silva and Mascherano.

  In the end, with the goals of Tony, Ronaldo and Beckham, Crystal Palace defeated Middlesbrough 3:1 away.

  At the same time that he got three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Rehabilitation Card" from the system.

   And in other Premier League matches this round, there are two highlights of strong dialogue.

   are Manchester United's double red meeting against Liverpool at Old Trafford, and Chelsea's intra-city battle against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

  Chen Ran originally hoped that Liverpool and Arsenal could fight to help Crystal Palace expand their lead.

   The result is obviously that he thinks too much. Manchester United won Liverpool 3:0 at home, and Chelsea also beat Arsenal 2:1 at home.

   The two teams did not allow the gap to continue to widen, and they were still five and six points behind Crystal Palace, ranking second and third.

   Next week, the Champions League semi-finals will start again.

   It’s not that the enemies are not together, the opponent of Crystal Palace this time is the powerful Real Madrid led by Chen Ran’s old friend Mourinho.

  The first guest and then the host, Crystal Palace has a slight advantage in the schedule.

This season, in the face of Rijkaard's single-handed creation, Ibrahimovic is the center, Henry is the left winger, Eto'o is the right winger, and Ronaldinho plays the attacking midfielder. In Barcelona, ​​Mourinho's life is not very good.

   Fortunately, with the foundation laid by Capello last season and cleaning up a large number of superstars who have declined in state, Mourinho can play lightly this season and formulate the team's tactical play according to his own ideas.

   So far, although Barcelona has swept the entire La Liga arena with its super attacking power, Real Madrid, relying on the solid defense built by Mourinho, still maintains the hope of competing for the league title.

   Chen Ran never despised Mourinho, his old rival.

   What's more, Crystal Palace is not in a very good condition now, so in order to prepare for the Champions League match against Real Madrid in the middle of the week, Chen Ran sent a large number of substitutes in the Premier League on the weekend.

  On March 29th, in the thirty-second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace played at home against Fulham.

   With goals from Cavani, Cesc Fabregas and Alves, Crystal Palace beat Fulham 3-2 at home.

  At the same time as he got three points, Chen Ran also got a "first-level sight card" from the system.

   In other matches in the Premier League this round, Manchester United beat Aston Villa 4-0 at Old Trafford and Chelsea beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

   Both teams have scored three points, still clinging to Crystal Palace.

   The day after finishing the Premier League, Chen Ran took the team to Madrid, Spain.

  Spain, Real Madrid, in Mourinho's office, he and his agent Mendes are also chatting about Crystal Palace.

  Although he has left the Premier League, Mourinho is still paying attention to the news of the eternal pain in his heart-Crystal Palace Club and the Chinese man.

   "Jorge, from all sources, Crystal Palace's current situation is not very good."

  I don't know why, but Mourinho couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that the Chinese was in trouble.

"It's not very good. Crystal Palace has had a serious injury problem this season, and the back line is now patchwork. But even so, Crystal Palace can still be ranked in the Premier League with a five-point advantage over second-placed Manchester United. At the top of the list, Chen Ran is really amazing."

  Mendez took a leisurely cigar and looked at Mourinho with a smile.

   Hearing Mendez's answer, Mourinho's face turned black, and his originally good mood immediately DOWN.

   "Jorge, I understand what you mean. I won't take it lightly because the Crystal Palace is in a bad situation now. I know better than anyone how powerful Chen Ran is."

  As a friend and partner for many years, Mourinho knows why Mendes poured a bowl of cold water on him.

   "Haha, of course I know you won't take it lightly, I'm just a small reminder."

   Mourinho pouted secretly, I believe you are a ghost.

   "I heard that the old fox in Ferguson played tricks on Chen Ran a while ago?"

  Because he is now far away from England, Mourinho's news is not well-informed, but this does not reduce his enthusiasm for gossip about Chen Ran.

   "That's right. But as before, Ferguson didn't take advantage of it, and was beaten back by Chen Ran."

   "Didn't you hear that Pepe was still suspended for three more games?"

   "Hehe, from eight games to three games, the FA changed the order and slapped itself in the face. You said that if the big men of the FA lost such a big face, they would give Ferguson a good look at the originator?"

"Maybe, after this incident, the relationship between Ferguson and his old friend who works in the FA will probably fade a lot. If there is anything else in the future, people are still willing to help, but it's hard to say. already."

  Mendez pointed at the country while smoking a cigar leisurely.

   Mendes also admired Chen Ran, who was able to keep Ferguson, the head of England's head down, unable to lift his head.

   He always remembers that he was banned by Ferguson for helping Ronaldo transfer to Crystal Palace.

   As Mourinho and Mendes said, he will never let up in his fight against Chen Ran.

  Although Real Madrid has been crushed by Barcelona, ​​which has super attacking power this season, the championship situation in La Liga is not very good.

   But in the face of the Crystal Palace game, Mourinho did not have any reservations, and still arranged a set of the strongest starting lineup.

   Left winger Robben, center Van Nistelrooy, right winger Raul

   MF Baptista, MF Sneijder, MF Diarra

   Left-back Marcelo, center-back Cannavaro, center-back Metzelder, right-back Ramos

   Goalkeeper Casillas

   On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran once again sent out a good non-frontier formation.

  Left midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo, midfielder Kaka, right midfielder Messi

   Midfielder Vieira, Midfielder Modric, Midfielder Yaya Toure

   Left back Evra, center back Thiago Silva, center back Pepe, right back Maicon

   Goalkeeper Cech
