Chapter 73 For the future

   With the referee's whistle, the game was finally over.

   Relying on the team's desperate running, complementing each other's defense, and even blocking the hole with their bodies more than once, Crystal Palace kept the score 1:0 to the end, eliminated Chelsea at home, and entered the League Cup semi-finals with their heads held high.

   At the same time, Chen Ran made another 500,000 euros.

   "Big upset! Chelsea was defeated by the Championship team Crystal Palace!"

   "Crystal Palace eliminated the Premier League powerhouse Chelsea and reached the semi-finals of the League Cup."

   "Linking the Premier League team once again proved that the Chinese is a talented coach."

   "Will Crystal Palace be a Championship team to qualify for the UEFA Cup?"

   "The latest odds of the gaming company show that many people are optimistic about Crystal Palace winning the British Championship and the League Cup this season."

   Just when the media was hyping up the game, Chen Ran had a headache in the office.

   In less than three days, Crystal Palace will go away for the 24th round of the Championship against Reading.

  Chen Ran really wanted to beat the FA officials who arranged the schedule, even the donkeys of the production team couldn't do that, right?

   That was the case after the last time with Aston Villa, and as a result, Crystal Palace were drawn by Preston in the next Championship.

   This time we faced a stronger Reading, and it was an away game.

  Chen Ran had an ominous premonition that this match would also be more fortunate than good fortune.

   He is now very envious of Ranieri in the last game.

   When Veron had a problem, he was replaced by Makelele, and he needed to strengthen his offense before replacing him with Joe Cole and Mutu.

   The most important thing is that the players replaced are not worse than the starting players, which is really happy.

  Ranieri has enough people in his hand to allow him to send two completely different starting lineups, and they are not bad.

  If there are so many available people in Crystal Palace, Chen Ran doesn't have to worry about it.

To know. Winning one less league is equivalent to losing 1 million euros.

   Originally, Chen Ran was thinking of waiting for Crystal Palace to be promoted to the Premier League before continuing to sign, so that he could attract those players who have already become famous.

   After all, with Crystal Palace's current status as a British Championship team, few famous players in the five major leagues who are in their prime would consider joining Crystal Palace.

   But now it seems that the thirst cannot be quenched from far away, so we still have to start from those potential stocks that have not yet become famous.

   "The winter transfer period is approaching, and some things must be arranged in advance." Chen Ran muttered to himself.

   "What did you say? Chen, be louder."

  Louis, who was presenting here, thought he was talking to him.

   "Louis, you need to get busy next time."

   "Oh? What's the matter? Are you going to buy someone again?"

   Little Fatty asked excitedly. When it came to player trading, his eyes seemed to light up.

   Since he was busy with the documentary, he has been free. I usually help Chen Ran to collect media reports, and it hurts when I'm at leisure.

   "That's right. This time you go back to South America and help me find some players. It's your home base, so it shouldn't be difficult."

   "That's great. Whoever you want to buy, just say, I'll help you get it done."

   The little fat man slapped his plump chest with a bang.

   "A fellow countryman with the same name as you, Uruguayan, named Luis Suarez, born in 1987, is now in the Uruguayan National Club."

   "The other one may be a little more troublesome. He should be well-known by now. Argentine, his name is Javier Mascherano, born in 1984, and now plays for the Argentine River Plate Club."

   "There's one more. Forget it, I'll send someone else to handle this."

   "Don't, Chen, why didn't you say something else?"

   Little Fatty stopped when Chen Ran was half-speaking, and immediately asked anxiously.

   "That boy is in Bosnia and Herzegovina now, what? You have something to do there too?"

  Chen Ran glanced at Louis with a half-smile, but he didn't forget the situation when they went to Eastern Europe to pick up leaks.

   "Er Bosnia and Herzegovina? That's fine, you can send someone else."

  Louis touched his nose and resolutely confessed.

   Seeing the little fat man deflated, Chen Ran called Stephen funny and called him over.

  Chen Ran is now handing over all the daily affairs of Crystal Palace Club to Stephen, so he is a very busy man now.

   Soon, Stephen rushed to Chen Ran's office.

   "Chen, is there anything I can't say on the phone? I'm busy over there."

   As soon as he entered the door, Stephen began to complain.

   "Okay, I know you're busy now. Isn't Luis going back to Brazil soon, the three of us have a good drink tonight, and we'll see him off."

   "What? Back to Brazil? What's going on? Are you going to buy someone again, Chen?"

   Stephen was stunned for a moment, why did the little fat man suddenly want to go back to Brazil?

   But he reacted immediately, it must be Chen Ran who is going to send him to buy players again.

"Yes, as we reached the League Cup semi-finals and the FA Cup will start next month. We only have one lineup at Crystal Palace, and it's getting more and more difficult to cope with, and we must continue to strengthen. "

   "However, where do we have money? The club is already struggling to pay the players' salaries every month. If you hadn't led the team well, we would have added a lot of new sponsorships, and the club would have been unable to make ends meet."

   "I know, I know, Stephen, you worked hard."

  Chen Ran quickly pulled Stephen to the sofa and sat down, and poured him a cup of coffee himself.

   "Although the club is out of money, I still have money. After the houses I bought were renovated, they were very popular with international students, and the rental income was even better than expected. You should all know this."

   "I know, but I keep asking you to invest money in the club. After all, this is not a long-term solution. Chen, don't forget, you still owe the bank a loan of 30 million euros."

   Looking at Stephen's worried look, Chen Ran was also very moved. He was indeed his good friend and thought of him in everything.

  Unfortunately, there is no way to tell them about the system winning bonus.

   "It's okay, Stephen, I know what I can afford. If I really don't have any money, I'll tell you two straight."

"you sure?"

  Stephen looked into Chen Ran's eyes seriously with a very serious expression.

"I promise!"

  Chen Ran hurriedly made an oath, which was considered to appease Stephen.

"Stephen, I have to lead the game now and can't go away. You will send someone to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to a football club called Zejonikar and find a young player named Edin Dzeko, 1986 Born in 2009, buy him back."

   "1986? Only 17 years old? Can I play if I buy it?"

   "I don't expect him to be able to play a role now. Throw it to the youth team and hand it over to Tuchel. This is for the future."
