Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 94 Returning to China

  After the end of the season, Crystal Palace's players have started to take vacations, and the two most important deals of the club's summer transfer period have been negotiated.

   Chen Ran just had time at this time, so he decided to accept Xu Yuan's invitation to go back to China to participate in the signing ceremony.

  Since he is returning to China to carry out the youth training project, it is natural that the youth training coach of Crystal Palace is indispensable.

   For this reason, Chen Ran specially called the youth training director Tuchel over.

   "Thomas, in a few days you will go to China with me."

   "Go to China? What's the matter? Boss."

   "I co-founded a youth training project with Huaguo, which is responsible for selecting talented children for training and training. I intend to hand over this project to you. You can go back and choose a few coaches to come with me."

   "Huaguo Football. I'm sorry, boss. With all due respect, the level of Huaguo football is relatively low, and I don't think any talents can be selected."

  “.”

  Chen Ran was speechless for a while. In front of him, he directly said that the level of Chinese football is poor. This Tuchel is really straight.

   "I don't want you to choose from the existing players, but from the children under ten years old. China has a population of more than one billion, and there will always be children who are talented in football. Understand?"

   "Understood, boss. But I'm still in charge of the youth team at Crystal Palace, so I'm afraid I don't have much time and energy for Huaguo."

   "Of course, so I'll let you pick a few coaches and bring them over. They'll do the specific work, and you can supervise it."

   "If that's the case, we probably won't have enough people, boss."

   "Don't worry, I'll add it to you."

   "I don't want those who are not strong enough."

   "I promise to find you all excellent youth coaches, and they must be recognized by you. This is the head office." Chen Ran was so choked by Tuchel that he was going crazy.

   "Then I'm fine, boss."

   After finally sending Tuchel away, Chen Ran rubbed his temples and had a headache.

   No wonder this guy had a falling out with every club he worked with in his previous life. With this style of behavior, most people really can't stand it.

   That night, Chen Ran, who came home and saw Cheryl, suddenly moved. Since he and Cheryl were together, the two hadn't gone out and had a good time together.

   This time, when I return to China, I can just take Cheryl to visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

   "My dear, I plan to go back to Huaguo in a few days. Are you interested in going back with me? The scenery of Huaguo is still very good, and there are many places worth visiting."

   "What? Honey, do you mean we go on a trip together?"

   Hearing Chen Ran's suggestion, Sheryl's eyes lit up, she had long wanted to go out and relax. It's just that she and Chen Ran are very busy, so it's hard to find time.

   "Well, I actually have a project with Huaguo to sign. I want to take this opportunity to show you around after signing the contract."

   "Okay, I've wanted to go out and relax for a long time. Honey, wait for me, I'll go and talk to the agent."

   After saying that, Cheryl happily took out her mobile phone and dialed.

  Unfortunately, the agent is obviously not willing to let Cheryl go on vacation.

   Since the Gao Ge girl group became popular, activities and performances have come one after another.

   As the company's biggest cash cow, these girls haven't had a good rest until now.

   In the end, it was Cheryl who lost her temper, and she was allowed by the company's top management.

  No way, who made Cheryl popular now?

   The last time a member of the group said Cheryl was caught talking badly about Cheryl, Chen Ran once persuaded Cheryl to go solo, but she was finally appeased by Cheryl's company.

   This time Cheryl proposed to go on vacation with Chen Ran, but the company executives could only reluctantly agree.

   Chen Ran's return to the country this time made a big deal. In addition to himself, there were also Cheryl and her agent, as well as the assistant and bodyguard that Chen Ran hired for Cheryl alone.

   As for why Cheryl's agent also came, this is because Cheryl is the lead singer of Gao Sing Girl, and if she is not there, everyone else can only have a rest.

  Cheryl's company boss is very business-minded. Since Cheryl wants to go to Huaguo with Chen Ran, it is better to take this opportunity to see if there is a possibility to expand the market of Gaoge Girls to Huaguo.

   These girls are joined by Crystal Palace Club CEO Stephen, sports manager Luis, youth training director Tuchel and three youth training coaches.

   There were more than ten men and women, and they stunned Xu Yuan and others who came to pick them up on the spot.

   In addition to Chen Ran, the whole party is full of blond foreigners. This battle was particularly eye-catching at the Star City Huanghua Airport in 2004.

   "Mr. Chen, I'm Xu Yuan. Welcome to Star City, it's been a long journey."

  Xu Yuan saw Chen Ran's photo and went straight to meet him.

   "President Xu personally greeted us at the airport. It was very kind. We stayed in Shencheng for one night yesterday and had a good rest."

   At this time, there was no direct flight from London to Star City. Chen Ran and the others flew to Shencheng for one night before arriving at Star City.

  For this cooperation, "Sports Weekly" has long released news.

   A top domestic sports newspaper has cooperated with a Premier League club to organize youth training in China, which can be regarded as the first of its kind.

   In the past few days, large and small sports media from all over the country gathered in Star City, even the old rival of "Sports Weekly" "Ford Bao Bao" is no exception.

   For this reason, Sports Weekly even held the signing conference in a five-star hotel, and specially invited He Jiong from Shonan TV to preside over the conference.

   On the day of the press conference, the entire venue was full.

   Seeing such a scene, Chen Ran nodded secretly in his heart. It seems that this domestic hype plan has had a good start.

  The press conference itself is not complicated. Stephen signed the cooperation agreement on behalf of Crystal Palace and the representative of "Sports Weekly", then shook hands and took pictures.

The highlight of    will be in the media Q&A session that follows.

   When the host He Jiong announced that he would enter the question and answer session, he "swiped" the ground, and a forest immediately appeared under the stage, and almost all the reporters raised their hands.

   As the organizer, the reporters of Sports Weekly, who contributed money and efforts, naturally got the first opportunity to ask questions.

   "Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm a reporter from Sports Weekly. May I ask what method you plan to take when you return to China to start a youth training program. Is it also a football school?"

   "No, quite the opposite. I think it's better not to break away from society too early in a child's formative years."

   "We will choose a cooperative school, and we usually let our selected children have lessons there. After school, we will concentrate on football training with professional coaches. This way, we can avoid delays."

   "You must know that in the football industry, the elimination rate is very high, and no one can guarantee that those children will eventually become professional players."

   "If you don't become a professional player and give up learning in cultural classes early, what will happen to these children in the future? We must be responsible for the parents who are willing to hand over their children to us."
