MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 429 It shouldn't be a bad thing to have a new boss

   In other matches in this round of the Premier League, several strong teams have all won. Manchester United beat Wolves 1:0 away, and Chelsea beat Portsmouth 5:0 away.

  Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur 1:0 at home, and Liverpool also beat Wigan Athletic 1:0 away.

   There was no time for any rest adjustment. On March 7, the second day after the match against Arsenal, Crystal Palace ushered in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

   This time, they will take on Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium.

   There was no other choice, Chen Ran had to send all the substitutes to play in the FA Cup, and he also handed over the command of the game to Simeone, who was good at defense.

   Aston Villa also knew that Crystal Palace's schedule was very disadvantageous, so their team was gearing up to make a big upset when Crystal Palace was too busy.

   However, to the surprise of many people, Aston Villa, who was waiting for work and playing with all the main force, just couldn't break the bus set up by Simeone.

   On the contrary, when his physical fitness decreased in the second half of the game, he was attacked by Vardy’s counterattack and finally lost 0:1 to Crystal Palace and was eliminated.

   And while Crystal Palace advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card" from the system.

   Chen Ran was also a little helpless about this result. He really didn't plan to compete for the FA Cup.

   However, he can't even think about playing one more game now.

   The day after the FA Cup match, he flew to Florence, Italy with the Crystal Palace team.

  Two days later, on March 10th, Crystal Palace will play the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals with Fiorentina away.

  Although Crystal Palace defeated Fiorentina in the first round, the two-goal lead was not enough to ensure that Crystal Palace sealed the promotion.

   Therefore, even though he knew that the team members were very tired, Chen Ran still sent all the main lineup in this game.

   Fiorentina, who played unconservatively in London, let go even more after returning to the home court.

   Under Prandelli's command, Fiorentina's players launched a fierce attack on Crystal Palace's defence from the first minute of the game.

  The game was full of sparks and brilliant. With the goals of Tony and Messi, Crystal Palace drew 2:2 away from Fiorentina and eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4:2 to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

   However, Crystal Palace also paid a small price for their victory in this game.

  Tony suffered a torn ligament injury shortly after scoring, which made Chen Ran unable to laugh even if he saw Crystal Palace successfully advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

   So far this season, Crystal Palace already has main center Tony, main midfielder Kaka, and main midfielder Yaya Toure injured. The entire central axis was almost half damaged. This is a big hidden danger in the final sprint of the season.

   After the match against Fiorentina, Chen Ran immediately rushed back to London with the team.

  No way, it’s still just two days apart. On March 13th, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will return to host Wolves again.

   As the last game of the four games in seven days, whether it is the main force or the substitute, the players of Crystal Palace are now all in a state of fatigue, the difference is only the degree of severity.

  …

   "Boss, almost all the statistics of our players are now red. According to the team doctor, these players are not suitable for the game. What should we do now? How to arrange the starting roster for this game?"

  Southgate frowned and handed Chen Ran the physical examination report of the Crystal Palace players.

   "What should I do? Kick it hard."

  Chen Ran glared at Southgate angrily, and reluctantly picked out players who were not so fatigued to form a starting lineup.

   "Diego, it's up to you to direct this game, just like you did against Aston Villa in the FA Cup before."

  Chen Ran turned around and handed the checked starting list to Simeone who was standing beside him.

   "Oh boss, this game is the Premier League."

  Simeone was stunned for a moment. He thought that Chen Ran had made a mistake and reminded him.

"I know it's the Premier League. Counter-attacking is your specialty, you commanded well in the FA Cup game before, so this game is still up to you. Don't put pressure on it, we have four points now. The lead, as long as we don't lose this game."

   "Okay, boss, I won't let you down!"

  Simeone was overjoyed and agreed immediately and forcefully.

  Although Chen Ran usually gives them the opportunity to direct the game, most of them are not very important games such as the FA Cup and the League Cup.

  Is there a chance to command the Premier League now? Not only is Simeone excited, even Gareth Southgate is envious.

  Compared to the tired Crystal Palace, the Wolves, who are not dragged down by other games, can be said to be going all out to prepare for this game.

   Moreover, Wolves head coach McCarthy learned the lessons of Aston Villa and did not adopt active attack tactics because he was waiting for work.

   From the first minute of the game, the entire team shrank and placed the bus within half-court. Even if they were beaten to death, they would not come out, and they would be satisfied with one point.

   At this moment, Simeone, who was preparing for the defensive counterattack, was a little dumbfounded. People don't attack at all, and they fight back.

   For a moment, Simeone, who had no idea, turned to look at Chen Ran sitting on the bench.

  Chen Ran did not expect that the Wolves would watch the Crystal Palace at the lowest point without being moved.

   For a moment, Chen Ran wanted to replace the main players and press the attack.

   However, after thinking about the injured Tony, Kaka and Yaya Toure, he finally gave up the idea.

   There is no way. Continuing the game while the body is in a state of fatigue will multiply the risk of injury. Chen Ran does not want to add new names to the injured list.

  In the end, when no one wanted to take the initiative to attack, the two teams ended the dull game with a score of 0:0.

   In other matches in the Premier League this round, Manchester United beat Fulham 3-0 at Old Trafford, and Chelsea also beat West Ham United 4-1 at Stamford Bridge.

  Manchester City beat Sunderland 2:1 away, Arsenal also beat Hull City 2:1 away, and Liverpool beat Portsmouth 4:1 at Anfield.

  After the 30th round of the game, Manchester United took the opportunity to reduce the points gap to two points as Crystal Palace was drawn by Wolves, and Chelsea is now only four points behind Crystal Palace.

  …

   After surviving this stage of the devil's schedule, Crystal Palace finally ushered in a one-week break.

   At the same time, in Manchester, which is more than 300 kilometers away from London, Ed Woodward, the CEO of Manchester United, once again came to Ferguson's office with good wine.

   "Sir Ferguson, with eight rounds to go, we have narrowed the points gap with Crystal Palace to two points. Your coaching ability is really amazing."

   "Cough, this is nothing. I have won many Premier League trophies before. Besides, when the season is not over, everything is possible."

  Although the relationship between Ferguson and Ed Woodward was not very good, but he did not slap the smiling face, Ferguson still smiled restrainedly.

   "Hahaha, Sir Alex Ferguson, you are still too modest. When you won the Premier League title, that Chinese man was just an ordinary fan."

   While flattering, Ed Woodward raised the red wine in his hand as a gesture.

   "Sir Ferguson, I brought a bottle of fine wine here today. You are an expert in this field. How about helping me taste it?"

   "Ed, you came to me today, won't you just give me a bottle of wine?"

  Ferguson is also a veteran, and immediately noticed Ed Woodward's abnormality.

   is diligent for nothing, not a traitor or a thief.

   "Ahem. Oops, Sir Ferguson, you really misunderstood me."

  Ed Woodward didn't expect Ferguson to break it directly, it was a little embarrassing, but he quickly came back.

   "I came here today mainly to congratulate you on leading the team to achieve excellent results. Also, Mr. Glazer is very happy after learning about Manchester United's recent results."

   "To this end, Mr. Glazer also promised that if you can lead Manchester United to win the Premier League trophy this season, the club's Lilan this season will be used as transfer funds for next season."

   "Really? Glazer would be so generous? Isn't their family always short of money?"

   Hearing this great news, Ferguson's first reaction was not to be happy, but to stare at Ed Woodward with suspicion.

   "Ahem, Sir Ferguson, that's exactly what Mr. Glazer said."

   Seeing Ferguson's expression of disbelief, Ed Woodward was also helpless.

  No way, since joining the Manchester United club, the Glazer family has always regarded the club as their cash machine. This is the fact that it cannot be washed cleanly.

   "Ed, I hope you don't treat me like a child. Tell me, what exactly do the Glazers want to do?"

   "Mr. Eferguson, I can tell you, but you must keep it secret and can't tell anyone else."

   found that he could not hide the old fox of Ferguson, and Ed Woodward had to showdown.

   "Yes, I promise you."

   "Mr. Glazer intends to sell part of Manchester United's shares, if the team can win the Premier League this season, they can sell it for a good price."

When    said this, Ed Woodward was also a little frustrated. He worked tirelessly to help the Glazer family extract funds from Manchester United, only to the point of selling shares.

  …

  If the Manchester United club really changed the owner, Ferguson's high status would not be a problem, but the ceo appointed by the Glazer family would be 100% swept out of the house.

"what?"

  Although he was mentally prepared, Ferguson was surprised when he heard the news.

   "Is the financial situation of the Glazer family so bad?"

  Ferguson asked, thinking of the two Americans who just sold Liverpool last season.

   "Sir Ferguson, although I don't know the specific situation, but they have taken so much money from Manchester United in recent years, the problem should not be too serious."

   Ed Woodward himself became more and more guilty.

  The financial tsunami has just passed, and countless wealthy people have gone bankrupt as a result.

   How big of a hole in the Glazer family, who are used to high-leverage operations, no one can tell except themselves.

   "I see. I will naturally try my best to win the Premier League championship trophy. But Chen Ran is so good, you know very well, I can't guarantee anything."

  Ferguson was dealing with Ed Woodward, but he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: If Manchester United can have a new owner, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

   Maybe, this is a good opportunity to get rid of the Glazer family.

   A week later, on March 20, the 31st round of the Premier League will begin again. This time, Crystal Palace will be going away to Wigan Athletic.

   After the rest, Crystal Palace played the main force. With the goals of Ronaldo, Thiago Silva and Messi, Crystal Palace defeated Wigan Athletic 3-0 away.

  At the same time that he got three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Rehabilitation Card" from the system.

   And in other Premier League matches this round, there is also a strong dialogue that is very fascinating.

   Manchester United staged a double red meeting again at Old Trafford and Liverpool. With the goals of Berbatov and Rooney, Manchester United beat Liverpool 2:1 at home and continued to hold on to Crystal Palace.

   Chelsea beat Blackburn 2:1 away, Manchester City also beat Fulham 2:1 away, and Arsenal easily defeated West Ham United 2:0 at Highbury Stadium.

   Next, Crystal Palace will usher in the last devil's schedule of the season.

  On March 28th, in the thirty-second round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will play Blackburn at home;

   On March 31st, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals was not the case. Crystal Palace's opponent was Real Madrid led by Mourinho. This time they had to go to Spain to challenge their opponents;

  On April 3rd, in the thirty-third round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium;

  On April 7th, in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Crystal Palace will return to host Real Madrid again;

  On April 10th, in the FA Cup semi-final, Crystal Palace will play Chelsea at home;

  On April 13th, in the thirty-fourth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Hull City again;

  On April 21st, the first round of the Champions League semi-finals, to be determined;

  On April 24th, in the thirty-fifth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will face Liverpool at home;

  On April 27, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, to be determined.
