Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 451

After contacting Chen Ran, the Brazilian Football Association and Chen Ran agreed to meet in London.

After their internal evaluation, it is generally believed that Chen Ran is currently the best candidate to be the head coach of the Brazil team.

After all, winning the Hercules Cup in the World Cup in Brazil is the common hope of all Brazilians.

Under this major premise, as long as it is something that can provide assistance to achieve this goal, even if it is unprecedented and breaks the rules, it will finally be given the green light and special events.

Chen Ran, who returned to London, met with representatives from the Brazilian Football Association accompanied by Kaka.

To his surprise, Ricardo Teixeira, who has been re-elected as the president of the Brazilian Football Association for five consecutive terms since 1989, led the team to London in person.

This Ricardo Teixeira is not simple. He is the son-in-law of the former FIFA President Havelange and the “ruler” of Brazilian football.

Whether the left, the right or the middle-line party is in power, Ricardo Teixeira’s position as the chairman of the Brazilian Football Association has always stood firm.

“Mr. Teixeira, I didn’t expect you to come here in person. I am so honored.”

Seeing Ricardo Teixeira, a fat old man with white hair, Chen Ran immediately stepped forward to shake hands and greet him enthusiastically. After these years of training, Chen Ran’s ability to deal with such situations has been perfected.

“Haha, Mr. Chen, although it’s a bit late, I still want to congratulate you for leading Portugal to win the World Cup in South Africa.”

“Thank you, Mr. Teixeira. However, these are things in the past. I hope that in the World Cup in Brazil four years later, the Brazilian team can win the Hercules Cup.”

“Hahahaha, I think so too. Mr. Chen, it seems that we have a lot in common.”

Ricardo Teixeira and Chen Ran looked at each other with a smile, everything was kept silent.

The meeting between Chen Ran and the Brazilian Football Association went very smoothly. After all, Chen Ran’s conditions had already been conveyed to the Brazilian Football Association through Kaka.

What’s more, with Chen Ran’s current status and his achievements, the annual salary of 5 million euros is really not high.

If the Brazilian Football Association does not accept it, Ricardo Teixeira will not make this trip himself.

Needless to say, the abilities of the paparazzi in England, as soon as Ricardo Teixeira and his party stepped out of London Heathrow Airport, their photos appeared on some online media.

Suddenly, the news that Chen Ran might be the head coach of the Brazilian national team spread even more widely.

Even Ronaldo, who had just finished the World Cup and was lying on the beach basking in the sun, was shocked.

“Chris, do you know that your boss is going to coach the Brazilian team?”

Receiving a call from Mendes, Ronaldo sat up from the beach in shock.

“What? Jorge, didn’t the boss refute the rumors before the World Cup?”

“What Chen Ran said at the time was that he would not consider any invitations during the World Cup. But now that the World Cup is over, he is not breaking his promise.”

“Jorge, wait a moment, I’ll make a call.”

After hanging up Mendes’ phone, Ronaldo immediately called Kaka.

He knew that it was players like Kaka who suggested to the Brazilian Football Association to invite Chen Ran to be the head coach of the Brazilian team.

“Ricardo, is the boss going to be the head coach of your Brazil team?”

After the call was connected, Ronaldo didn’t have any pleasantries, and directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

“Oh, it’s Chris. That’s right, the Brazilian Football Association has decided to officially invite the boss to be the new head coach of the Brazilian national team.”

“Football Association Chairman Ricardo Teixeira personally led the team to London, very sincere. And they also accepted all the boss’s conditions, so if there is no accident, this matter should be resolved soon.”

As the initiator and participant of the whole thing, Kaka is naturally very aware of the progress of the matter.

Now that the matter has almost been finalized, there is no need for him to hide it from Ronaldo.

“How can you do this? The boss has just led us Portugal to win the World Cup, and you are going to rob people. Isn’t this too much?”

On the other end of the phone, Ronaldo was so angry that he wanted to fly back to London to have a live PK with Kaka.

“Chris, what you said is wrong. You Portugal have already won the World Cup and you are not satisfied? The benefits can’t be left to your Portuguese family, right?”

“Ahem, what does it mean to be monopolized by Portugal? We just won a Hercules Cup, at least let us win a European Cup championship trophy?”

“Chris, you have already won the World Cup, and the European Cup is not easy. I think you can find a better coach and work a little harder.”

“Huh? I remember that Mourinho is also your Portuguese. He is quite good. You can suggest that the Portuguese Football Association invite him to take over as the head coach of the Portuguese national team.”

In the fight for Chen Ran, Kaka is determined not to give an inch. However, Ronaldo is his club teammate after all, and the relationship cannot be frozen. Therefore, Kaka recommended Mourinho to Ronaldo very enthusiastically.

Wang Defa!

On the other end of the phone, Ronaldo almost swears.

Mourinho and he are both clients of Mendes Company, and they are both Portuguese. Mourinho’s level is so clear to Ronaldo, can he be compared with the boss?

The conversation was not speculative, and Ronaldo’s phone call ended in a bad mood.

After hanging up the phone, Ronaldo called Chen Ran again.

“Boss, are you really going to be the head coach of the Brazil team?”

When he saw Ronaldo’s phone number, Chen Ran knew what this guy was going to say.

“If there are no accidents, it should be.”

“Boss, you have already led Portugal to the World Cup championship, why don’t you continue to bring it on? It won’t be too late to win another European Cup at least.”

C Ronaldo still does not give up and wants to fight for it one last time.

“Chris, do you want to hear the truth?”

After hesitating for a while, considering that Ronaldo has been with him for so many years, Chen Ran finally decided to tell the real reason for his departure.

“Of course. Boss, if you are dissatisfied, just say it, and we will definitely find a way to correct it.”

“Chris, Portugal is a small country after all, with a small population and only so many excellent players.”

“Frankly speaking, apart from the twelve or thirteen players who make up the starting lineup, the gap between the level of the other players and the main force is a bit big.”

“At some critical moments, I didn’t even dare to make substitutions. Because after the substitutions, it is likely to cause worse results.”

“And this situation is obviously not something that I, the head coach, can change. It doesn’t make much sense to continue coaching.”

“Being able to win this World Cup in South Africa is already the limit of what I can do. This can be regarded as a gift I left to you.”

After hearing what Chen Ran said, Ronaldo was silent on the phone for a long time.

“Boss, thank you for telling me this, and thank you for leading Portugal to the Hercules Cup. I wish you all the best in coaching Brazil.”

A few days after Ricardo Teixeira and his team came to London, the Brazilian Football Association released news that it will hold a press conference in London to announce the new head coach of the Brazilian team.

When the reporters who received the invitation letter took a look at the location of the press conference, they immediately understood who the new head coach of the Brazilian team was.

Because, the venue for this press conference was placed at the Crystal Palace Club.

On the day of the press conference, major sports media from all over the world appeared at the Crystal Palace Club. There were even quite a few TV stations that drove SNG cars to the scene.

Although the reporters already had guesses in their minds before they came to the press conference, they still exclaimed when they saw Chen Ran and Ricardo Teixeira walking up to the rostrum together.

After Ricardo Teixeira officially announced the appointment of Chen Ran as the head coach of the Brazilian national team as the president of the Brazilian Football Association, the press conference finally came to the questioning session that the reporters were looking forward to.

“Mr. Chen, you just led Portugal to win the World Cup in South Africa. What made you decide not to coach the Portuguese national team anymore?”

As Chen Ran expected, the reporters focused their firepower on him as soon as he entered the questioning session.

Looking at the reporter who asked the question, Chen Ran smiled slightly.

“The reason is simple. My contract with the Portuguese Football Association expired after the World Cup in South Africa.”

“Although there is still a contract extension clause, I don’t intend to activate it. Because I have already helped the Portuguese national team win the highest honor.”

“If you continue to coach Portugal, it is nothing more than repeating the previous process. The reason why I decided not to coach the Crystal Palace Club was because I didn’t want to do the same thing over and over again.”

“This is the reason why I decided not to coach the Portuguese national team. I wonder if this reporter friend is still satisfied?”

“Mr. Chen, may I ask why you chose to be the head coach of the Brazil team. You know, they didn’t perform very well in the World Cup in South Africa.”

The reporter’s question was merciless, making Ricardo Teixeira, who was sitting next to Chen Ran, look extremely ugly.

“This reporter friend, no strong team can guarantee that it will always be at the top, and short-term fluctuations in performance are normal.”

“Besides, Brazil is a football kingdom with countless football talents. No matter what industry you are in, talents are the most important factor. As long as there are enough talents, it will be a matter of time to get good results.”

“Mr. Chen, since you are so optimistic about the Brazil team, what is your goal after serving as the head coach of the Brazil team? To win the World Cup in Brazil?”

As soon as Chen Ran finished speaking, a reporter keenly grasped what he said and took the opportunity to dig a hole for him.

Chen Ran is now an old fox who has experienced many battles, so he naturally heard the trap contained in this question.

However, he didn’t care.

“Thank you for the concern of this reporter friend. Just taking this opportunity, I also announce my goal as the head coach of the Brazil team this time, which is to win the Brazil World Cup championship trophy.”

“Oh!”

The entire press conference scene was immediately ignited by Chen Ran’s astonishing words.

There has never been a coach who publicly announced his goal to be the next World Cup champion on the first day of taking office.

Moreover, to the reporter’s embarrassment, Chen Ran just led Portugal to win the World Cup in South Africa.

As the head coach of the championship team, he is obviously qualified to say that.

This made it difficult for reporters to find fault with Chen Ran.

Seeing the uncomfortable look of the reporters in the audience, Chen Ran secretly smiled.

Turning press conferences into his own speeches is something he’s good at.

While Chen Ran was fighting wits with the reporters in London, with the help of the Internet, the news was sent back to China thousands of miles away.

“Fuck! It was just a rumor before, but I didn’t expect Chen Ran to become the head coach of the Brazil team.”

“Awesome! Chen Ran is so awesome!”

“A Chinese national serves as the head coach of the football kingdom Brazil’s national team. I dare not do this even in my wildest dreams.”

“That’s right, even those online writers who write brainless and refreshing articles dare not write like this.”

“And Chen Ran announced in public that his goal is to win the World Cup in Brazil. It’s so **** arrogant. I like it!”

“I’ll go! If Chen Ran really leads Brazil to win the World Cup, then he will be the first head coach to lead different teams to win the World Cup, right?”

“It seems to be the case. If Chen Ran really does this, then he is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.”

“Argentina will be miserable this time. I don’t know what Messi and Mascherano think now.”

“I must be annoyed why I didn’t **** Chen Ran as the head coach like Kaka and Thiago Silva did.”

“Ha ha ha ha!”

It was really hit by the Chinese fans. At this time, Messi was discussing with his Crystal Palace teammate, Javier Mascherano, who is also an Argentine international, about Chen Ran being the head coach of the Brazil team.

“Javier, the boss actually ran to coach the Brazilian team. In this way, it will be difficult for us Argentina to meet the Brazilian team in the future.”

On the phone, Messi’s voice was weak, obviously not in a good mood.

“Then there is no way, no matter how difficult it is, I will kick it.”

As rivals, it has become a habit for Brazil and Argentina to meet each other.

“If we also suggest to the Football Association to invite the boss to be the head coach of our Argentine national team, then maybe the boss will choose us Argentina.”

Messi now only hates himself for being too young, there is no way to respond like Kaka in the Brazilian national team.

“Okay, Leo, it’s useless to say this now. After all, this is not something we players can decide.”

Although Mascherano is also very helpless, but after all, he is three years older than Messi and has experienced more things, so he will not worry about things that he cannot change.

“I know, it’s just that when I think about becoming the boss’s opponent in the future, I feel a little guilty.”

“Eh, me too.”
