Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 441
Chapter 441 Is it possible for me to coach Crystal Palace?
On the Barcelona bench, Guardiola frowned at the Crystal Palace players who were celebrating wildly.
Every precaution was taken, but it still failed to stop Crystal Palace from scoring again. The game is coming to an end, and the rest of the game is even more difficult to play.
However, of course, Guardiola could not give up, he immediately called Pedro and Abidal from the bench.
After a simple warm-up, Guardiola used Pedro to replace Henry, a veteran with declining physical fitness, and Abidal to replace Maxwell, a left-back, ready to make a last-ditch effort.
Seeing Barcelona’s substitution adjustment, Southgate immediately got close to Chen Ran again.
“Boss, we are in the lead now, it’s better to shrink the formation and strengthen the defense. After the last period of time, the championship trophy is ours.”
Hearing Southgate’s suggestion, Chen Ran shook his head with a wry smile.
“Gareth, it’s not that I don’t want to strengthen the defense, but with the existing staffing of Crystal Palace, once the formation shrinks, it will lose the barrier function of the midfield, and Barcelona can directly threaten our goal.”
“So, we can only continue to attack and keep the ball as far away from our penalty area as possible, understand?”
“Understood, boss.”
Southgate sighed helplessly, no one was available, and there was no room to adjust tactics.
Fortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi who used the “Level 1 Chicken Blood Card” did not disappoint Chen Ran. In the 77th minute of the game, Messi broke through the defense of Abidal, who had just been replaced in the second half of the game. Pass from bottom to bottom.
In the penalty area, Ronaldo used his alert movement to get rid of Pique and Marcos’ man-marking, grabbed the front and made a diving dive bombing.
“boom!”
Valdes, who was caught off guard, had no time to react, and the ball had already entered Barcelona’s goal from the front post.
With this header from Ronaldo, Crystal Palace extended their lead to 4:2.
This time, the entire Bernabeu stadium turned into a sea of joy, with Crystal Palace fans and Real Madrid fans singing and dancing together.
And the more than 20,000 Barcelona fans were like eggplants beaten by frost, their faces were filled with expressions of frustration and despair, and even the boos disappeared without a trace.
On the sidelines, Guardiola could only shake his head with a wry smile.
This is the most terrifying thing about Crystal Palace. Even if it encounters great difficulties, there will always be someone who will stand up at a critical moment to help the team reverse the unfavorable situation.
“Alas, it seems that this year’s Champions League is going to be in the hands of Crystal Palace again.”
“If Crystal Palace defends the Champions League again this year, they will have won the Champions League for five consecutive years, which is equal to the Champions League record created by Real Madrid.”
“Yeah. Real Madrid still won the Champions League for five consecutive years in the 1950s. I didn’t expect that more than 50 years later, there would be a team that achieved the same achievement. I thought this record would never be possible. There are teams that can do it.”
“Who says it’s not. That Chinese man is really powerful. I believe that no one will question the promise of establishing the Crystal Palace Dynasty that he said at the beginning.”
Although the game is not over yet, most people have already awarded the Champions League trophy this season to Crystal Palace in their hearts.
Although Higuain pulled a goal back for Barcelona in injury time, the referee then blew the whistle for the end of the game.
In the end, Crystal Palace led by Chen Ran once again defeated Barcelona led by Guardiola with a score of 4:3 at the Bernabeu Stadium, leaving the opponent empty-handed for two consecutive seasons.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully defending the Champions League title, and a special reward of 40 million euros.”
“Ding, because Crystal Palace achieved five consecutive Champions League championships, tied the best record in Real Madrid’s history, and greatly increased the host’s prestige, and specially awarded the aura of “the first player in Chinese football”.”
“The number one football player in China? Still halo?”
Chen Ran was speechless for a while when he heard the title of Secondary Two.
However, it came for nothing and cost nothing, so Chen Ran quickly checked the details of this “halo”.
The Halo of “The No. 1 Player in Chinese Football”: Passive skills, the owner’s words and deeds, have a pivotal influence in Chinese football and fans.
This thing, it is useful to say it is useful, and it is useless to say it is useless.
However, Chen Ran had no time to think about it, so he hurriedly turned off the system. Because, the **** of Crystal Palace have already picked him up and threw him into the air.
The award ceremony and the crazy celebration after the game, Chen Ran has become accustomed to these.
The next day, when Chen Ran woke up from a hangover, he felt like his head was about to explode.
These **** under him, who usually look honest and obedient, will seize the opportunity to win the championship and pour him a drink.
Ran for a while, and Chen Ran, who was much more awake, dialed the phone number of the little fat Louis.
“Louis, follow the plan we discussed earlier. Inform reporters from major media that I will hold a press conference when I return to London.”
“Er Chen, have you really decided to stop being the head coach of Crystal Palace? Why don’t you think about it again?”
Little fat Louis is obviously not giving up and wants to fight for one last time.
“Louis, I’ve made up my mind, so don’t persuade you any more. Do as I say, understand?”
“ok, I get it.”
Just when the major media reported that Crystal Palace won the Champions League for five consecutive championships, tying the record set by Real Madrid in the 1950s, they suddenly received the news that the Crystal Palace Club was going to hold a press conference.
“Crystal Palace suddenly wants to hold a press conference, do any of you know what’s going on?”
According to the time indicated on the invitation letter, reporters from major media came to the Crystal Palace Club in London in advance. Just before the press conference began, twos and threes huddled together to discuss the sudden press conference.
“I don’t know. Is it because Crystal Palace has won the Champions League for five consecutive championships, tying the record of Real Madrid, so there is a special press conference to celebrate?”
“Uh, Crystal Palace Club won’t do such a boring thing, right?”
“Then who knows? Maybe this is a Chinese custom? Once you have achieved a great achievement, you should celebrate it?”
“Cough, let’s stop guessing, we’ll know the result in a while.”
Soon, in the anticipation of many reporters, Chen Ran took Stephen and the little fat Louis into the venue of the press conference.
Little Fatty Louis came as the emcee. After a brief opening, the microphone was handed over to Chen Ran.
“Hello fellow journalists, the reason for this press conference today is that I have one thing to announce.”
“From today, I will officially step down as the head coach of Crystal Palace Club. In the future, I will focus on leading the Portuguese national team to the World Cup in South Africa.”
A few simple words, but instantly detonated the entire press conference venue.
The reporters who came to the press conference never expected to hear such a news that was enough to shake the entire international football world.
For a while, the entire venue suddenly turned into a pot of porridge.
No one was in charge of the press conference process, and many reporters simply stood up and asked Chen Ran questions.
Some other Internet media reporters immediately took out their laptops and started writing and publishing on the spot.
Some TV media reporters hurriedly took out their phones, regardless of the ongoing press conference, and directly reported the situation to their own TV stations, requesting that SNG vehicles be sent over to broadcast the press conference immediately.
On the rostrum, Chen Ran, who had long expected the reporters’ reaction, was sitting there watching the farce below.
After a while, the reporters finally calmed down, and the entire venue returned to order.
“Cough, I know this news is a bit sudden for everyone. So I won’t talk nonsense, and I will go directly to the questioning session. If you have any questions, just ask, but I don’t guarantee that I will answer.”
Chen Ran said with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, a forest of arms was erected under the stage.
“Excuse me, Mr. Chen, you just led Crystal Palace to the great achievement of five consecutive Champions League titles. Why did you suddenly decide not to be the head coach of Crystal Palace Club?”
asked curiously by a beautiful reporter who was called by little fat Louis.
“The main reason is that I am a little tired. I have basically won all the championship trophies that Crystal Palace Club can win, and I have won the most important championships many times.”
“Doing the same thing over and over again every season has taken away my passion for football. So, I’m going to pursue new goals and do something a little different.”
Chen Ran’s answer caused the entire press conference venue to fall into silence.
Listen, is this special meow human?
Because winning too many championships is a bit boring, so I will not be the head coach of Crystal Palace Club.
If someone else said for this reason, he would definitely be beaten to death, right?
But what came out of Chen Ran’s mouth actually left the reporters present speechless.
Although it is very annoying, but there is no way to take him.
This feeling sucks!
“Mr. Chen, you can be the head coach of both the Crystal Palace Club and the Portuguese national team at the same time. Isn’t that what you did before?”
“I made this decision because I tried it before. It’s too tiring to be doing it at the same time, and it will cause me to have no personal time at all. I want to spend more time with Cheryl.”
“May I ask Mr. Chen, if you are sure to step down as the head coach of Crystal Palace Club, have you selected a successor?”
“The selection is underway. If the final candidate is determined, the results will be announced to everyone at that time.”
“Mr. Chen, aren’t you worried that after you don’t coach Crystal Palace, the team’s performance will decline?”
“Hahahaha, to be honest, I’m not worried at all. No team can last forever. It is a very rare situation for Crystal Palace to win consecutive championships in the past few seasons. Fluctuations in results are normal.”
With the help of the rapid spread of the Internet, the news of Chen Ran’s announcement to step down as the head coach of Crystal Palace quickly spread all over the world.
In a country thousands of miles away, the post bar in the Crystal Palace immediately exploded.
“Fuck! Chicken thieves are going to pick their own?”
“Calm down upstairs, Chen Ran is just not the head coach of Crystal Palace, but he is still the owner of Crystal Palace. How can you say it’s a pick?”
“But if Chen Ran is not the head coach, what will Crystal Palace do? Who is qualified to replace Chen Ran?”
“I’m going, really. In today’s football, there are not many people who are qualified to take over the position of Crystal Palace head coach!”
“What do you think about Mourinho? Didn’t he just get fired by Real Madrid?”
“How far is it upstairs! The Crystal Palace is not a waste recycling station!”
“Yes. Mourinho is not only Chen Ran’s defeat, he can’t even beat Chen Ran’s assistant coach Guardiola. How could he be qualified to coach Crystal Palace?”
“Huh? How about letting Guardiola be the head coach of Crystal Palace? After all, he is a coach from Crystal Palace. He knows the team very well and can be seamlessly linked with almost no adaptation.”
“But he is staying well in Barcelona, will he be willing to return to Crystal Palace to coach?”
“Are you stupid upstairs, can Barcelona be compared to Crystal Palace now?”
“That’s true. However, even if Guardiola wants to go back to Crystal Palace, FC Barcelona will let him go?”
“Hehe, what if you don’t let him go? The big deal is to accompany the liquidated damages. If I remember correctly, FC Barcelona signed a three-year contract with Guardiola. Now he has coached Barcelona for two seasons. The remaining one-year contract shouldn’t cost much.”
“If this is the case, Guardiola is indeed a good candidate. He can lead Barcelona to beat Real Madrid to win the La Liga championship for two consecutive seasons, and also reach the Champions League final for two consecutive years. There is no doubt about his ability.”
The news of Chen Ran’s resignation as the head coach of Crystal Palace Club, unsurprisingly, caused an uproar in the entire international football world.
Not only the fans of Crystal Palace are concerned about the selection of the team’s new head coach, but even some coaches who think they are qualified for this position can’t help but be moved.
Spain, Madrid, Jose Mourinho’s home.
Although he is no longer the head coach of Real Madrid, Mourinho is still here because there are still some follow-up matters that have not been dealt with.
“Jorge, you said that Chen Ran is really not the head coach of Crystal Palace?”
Looking at the TV, newspapers, and the Internet, all the media related to football, without exception, are all news about Chen Ran and Crystal Palace, Mourinho still feels a little unbelievable.
“He has already held a special press conference for this matter, of course it is true.”
Mendez looked at Mourinho amusingly, can this kind of thing be a joke?
“Jorge, do you think it is possible for me to coach Crystal Palace?”
