Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 452
Although Chen Ran has become the new head coach of the Brazilian national team, but because the World Cup in South Africa has just ended, the Brazilian national team does not have any competition tasks right now.
As for the Crystal Palace Club, there is Stephen in management, Fatty Louis in transfer affairs, and Guardiola in training games. Chen Ran now only needs to sit behind the scenes and grasp the general direction.
In this way, Chen Ran can finally relax and enjoy life.
When the 2010-2011 season of the Premier League began, under the leadership of Guardiola, Crystal Palace still continued the momentum of the past, advancing all the way, invincible.
However, Crystal Palace met Inter Milan coached by Mourinho in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
When Guardiola was coaching Barcelona in La Liga before, he had two seasons with Real Madrid led by Mourinho.
And twice overwhelmed Mourinho to grab the La Liga championship trophy, which directly led to Mourinho being swept out by the Real Madrid club.
This time, although both of them have changed their employers, they are extremely jealous when they meet each other as enemies.
Inter Milan, which has undergone a major transformation after Mourinho took over, is determined to play defensive counterattacks.
As a result, Crystal Palace was first 0:0 in the away game, and then 1:1 at home, and was tied twice by Inter Milan.
In the end, Crystal Palace was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by Inter Milan because of the small number of away goals, breaking the biggest upset of the UEFA Champions League this season.
You know, Crystal Palace has won the Champions League for the past five seasons.
After changing the head coach, he didn’t even make it to the semi-finals. This is Chen Ran’s worst result since he became the owner of the Crystal Palace club.
Suddenly, the Crystal Palace was bad-mouthed, saying that the Crystal Palace was going to go downhill.
A reporter with many good things wants to interview Chen Ran and ask him what he thinks of Crystal Palace being eliminated from the Champions League.
Even the gambling company has launched a new project to guess when Guardiola will leave get out of class.
“Boss, I’m sorry, the team’s elimination from the Champions League is all my responsibility, and I am willing to accept any punishment.”
Early the next morning after the game, Guardiola came to Chen Ran’s office to plead guilty.
Looking at Guardiola’s guilty face, Chen Ran didn’t mean to get angry.
Yesterday, Crystal Palace played against Inter Milan at home, and he watched the whole process in the VIP box at the Emirates Stadium.
Mourinho really made the defensive counterattack to the extreme. The Crystal Palace fired all their firepower and failed to break through the goal guarded by Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar. Instead, Argentine striker Diego Milito scored the first goal.
It wasn’t until the end of the game that Messi scored the equalizing goal on the Crystal Palace side. But at this time, it was too late, and in the end he could only swallow the bitter fruit of being eliminated.
Frankly speaking, if Chen Ran was still in charge, and he had the system card as his trump card, perhaps such a result would not have happened.
But Guardiola is just an ordinary coach, he does not have the ability to turn things around.
So, although Chen Ran was not very happy about this result, he was not very angry, and he would not fire Guardiola because of it.
After all, when he made the decision to no longer serve as the head coach of Crystal Palace, he had already expected such a day.
“Josep, it’s okay. It’s normal for games to win and lose. Although we were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League this season, we will come back next season.”
“What you have to do now is to forget about being eliminated and play well for the rest of the Premier League. Can’t affect the results of the Premier League just because you are eliminated from the Champions League, understand?”
Seeing such a big event as the team being eliminated from the Champions League, Chen Ran didn’t even have a word of reproach.
For a while, Guardiola couldn’t help but choked up.
“Boss, thank you, I will definitely lead the team to win the Premier League championship trophy this season. If I can’t do it, I will resign on my own initiative.”
“Josep, resigning is a bit too much. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I don’t want to change coaches every three days. In my plan, you will be the head coach of our Crystal Palace for a long time to come.”
Chen Ran said as he walked up to Guardiola and patted him on the shoulder.
“thank you boss!”
Although he doesn’t understand Chinese, Guardiola only has the words “a scholar dies for his confidant” in his mind at this time.
Thousands of miles away in China, Crystal Palace was upset and eliminated from the Champions League by Inter Milan, which also detonated the entire Crystal Palace fan circle.
“Can Guardiola do it? Didn’t he always crush Real Madrid under Mourinho when he was in Barcelona? Why did he perform worse when he arrived at the stronger Crystal Palace?”
“That’s right, it doesn’t make sense logically. Could it be that there are too many stars in Crystal Palace and their strength is too strong, Guardiola can’t hold it down?”
“It’s really possible. There is a kind of coach who thrives when leading a small and medium-sized club, but not when he reaches a top giant. Guardiola can’t be this kind of coach, right?”
“Isn’t it? Although Barcelona’s performance in recent years is not as good as Crystal Palace, it is still a veteran giant team.”
“This Mourinho is really an unbeatable Xiaoqiang. After being suppressed by Chen Ran for so many years, I didn’t expect to be turned over by him now.”
“Hehe, that means Chen Ran is not the head coach of Crystal Palace, otherwise do you think Mourinho can win?”
“Sigh, if Chen Ran was still the head coach of Crystal Palace, there wouldn’t be so much shit.”
“Who said it wasn’t.”
After comforting Guardiola, Chen Ran then deliberately accepted the interview from the media.
In the interview, Chen Ran repeatedly emphasized his trust in Guardiola. And publicly stated that even if Crystal Palace is eliminated from the Champions League, Guardiola will not dismiss get out of class.
After going through this turmoil, Guardiola seemed to have beaten chicken blood, leading Crystal Palace to sweep England, and won the triple crown of the Premier League champion, the FA Cup champion and the League Cup champion in one fell swoop. With brilliant results, everyone’s mouths were blocked.
When Guardiola led the Crystal Palace to fight everywhere, Chen Ran was not idle.
In addition to handling the affairs of the Crystal Palace Club and the Galaxy Football Group, he also put more energy into the youth training project he founded in China.
After years of continuous selection, the youth training program that Chen Ran founded in China has begun to take shape.
Starting from 10-year-old children, Chen Ran has set up a team for each age group.
Because the oldest child selected for the project is only 17 years old, there are now eight teams with more than 200 children in the base from U10, U11, U12 to U17.
Although these children have entered the project through strict selection, it does not mean that these children will definitely be able to play professional football.
Chen Ran’s request is to open the door to all talented children in the country, so there will be some changes in the echelon candidates of all ages every year.
Talented children continue to join. At the same time, if a child is found not suitable for playing football during the growth process, some children will also be eliminated.
Of course, Chen Ran’s original promise is still valid.
Even for the eliminated children, if they choose to continue their studies, Chen Ran will bear all the expenses until they go to college.
Moreover, because Chen Ran instructed the Galaxy Football Group to set up the Galaxy Cup Youth Football Invitational Tournament, these children have the opportunity to go to Europe and the youth training echelons of major football powers every year for exchange and competition.
At the same time, because the Galaxy Football Group owns many clubs such as Crystal Palace in England, Willem II in the Netherlands, Red Bull Salzburg in Austria, Sporting Recife in Brazil, Red Bull in New York and Shanghai Galaxy.
So Chen Ran also asked the various clubs within the group to hold regular youth training echelon exchange games. And the young players of this youth training program founded by Chen Ran in China participated in this competition under the name of the Shencheng Galaxy echelon.
Chen Ran also made special arrangements for the time of the two major events. One is placed in the summer vacation and the other is placed in the winter vacation, so that it will not affect the normal study of the children.
In this way, the children selected by Chen Ran’s youth training program have an average of 20 to 30 opportunities to play against high-level foreign teams every year.
After ten years, there will be two or three hundred games.
Accumulated over time, children who have rich experience in playing against foreign teams will grow far faster than children trained by other domestic youth training channels.
Not to mention, Chen Ran also paved the way for their future development.
According to Chen Ran’s plan, starting from the age of 18, Chen Ran will arrange for these children to go to various clubs under the Galaxy Football Group for trial training.
If you can pass the assessment of these club coaches, then stay in the youth training echelon of that club to train and live, and then rely on your own efforts to enter the first team.
If they are not able to stay in those clubs, they can still return to China, and then become a member of the echelon of Shencheng Galaxy Club.
By the way, the current Shencheng Galaxy Club is no longer the original Chinese team.
After Chen Ran invested heavily in the introduction of high-level domestic and foreign players, Shencheng Yinhe, as a newly promoted team, won the Chinese Super League championship trophy in one fell swoop, creating a miracle in Kaiserslautern in China.
Director Xu also won the league championship trophy again after many years. Become the only head coach who led three different teams to win the top league championship in Huaguo.
Chen Ran believes that the players who have gone through his entire selection, training, training, and actual combat system will definitely have a qualitative leap compared to the current Chinese players.
With them as the foundation, Huaguo Football will once again reach the World Cup finals.
With the end of the European League season, Chen Ran had to focus on the Brazilian national team.
The forty-third Copa America will be held this year, and the host is Brazil’s deadly rival Argentina.
Brazilian Football Association President Ricardo Teixeira also specifically asked Chen Ran, hoping that he could lead the Brazilian team to win the America’s Cup in Argentina.
Since the boss has explained, Chen Ran must of course try his best to meet the request of the sponsor.
After all, since Brazil is the host of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, they do not need to participate in the World Cup qualifiers.
So, before the start of the World Cup in Brazil, this Copa America is the most important game for the Brazilian team.
Although Chen Ran is usually busy with his own affairs by paddling, if he keeps paddling until the World Cup in Brazil, his conscience will still hurt a little.
In order to be worthy of the salary paid by the Brazilian Football Association, Chen Ran decided that he could only **** the Copa America trophy from Argentina as compensation for his usual paddling.
To this end, through the Brazilian Football Association, he officially convened 23 carefully selected players to train for the Copa America.
Forward Neymar, Forward Pato, Forward Diego Costa, Forward Fred.
Midfielder Kaka, Fernandinho, Ramirez, Lucas, William, Douglas Costa, Teixeira, Paulinho.
Defenders: Thiago Silva, Maicon, Alves, Lucio, David Luiz, Marcelo, Maxwell, Luizon.
Goalkeepers Cesar, Gomez, Victor.
I have to say that being the head coach of Brazil is much more complicated than coaching Portugal.
Before Chen Ran announced the 23-man roster for the Copa America, various people recommended their players to Chen Ran.
At this time, in South America, the ownership of a player does not necessarily belong to the team he plays for.
The ownership of some players is even in the hands of several different people or companies. Behind these people or companies, there is a complicated network of relationships.
Chen Ran would never have imagined the complexity and confusion if he hadn’t experienced it himself.
In desperation, Chen Ran had no choice but to transfer Little Fatty Louis over to handle these messy things through him.
At least, Fatty Luis and his family, as the top snakes in Brazilian football, know who they can’t offend and who they can ignore.
No way, who let Chen Ran still have the club Recife in Brazil?
If he offends someone who shouldn’t be offended, he can slap his **** and leave, at worst, he will not be the head coach of the Brazilian national team, but the Recife club cannot escape.
The current Recife club is no longer the Brazilian second team when Chen Ran bought it.
Like Shencheng Galaxy, with Chen Ran’s capital investment, coupled with the resource advantages of the Galaxy Football Group, the current Recife club has been promoted to the Brazilian League.
Moreover, the results are good, and there is even hope of hitting the Brazilian League Championship.
“Chen, I suggest that you still reserve one or two places as communication expenses, which will save a lot of trouble for you to coach the Brazilian national team.”
After receiving Chen Ran’s order, Little Fatty Louis immediately flew back to Brazil from London.
“Luis, is your Brazilian national team selecting players so casually?”
Chen Ran sneered, squinting at Little Fatty Louis.
