MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 456 Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes

  Chapter 456 Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes

   Realizing that the situation was not good, Argentine central defender Burdisso hurried up to intercept Pato.

  Pato did not continue to choose to go beyond others this time, but directly passed the ball across to Kaka who was inserted in the middle.

   Kaka didn't stop the ball because he saw his teammate Mascherano in Crystal Palace had rushed over.

  So Kaka feinted and missed the ball between his legs.

  At this time, Neymar on the left just happened to be in place.

  He took advantage of the opportunity to lead the ball that rolled in front of him, and rushed straight to the Argentine penalty area.

  At this time, because Argentina was still pressing forward aggressively just now, the two full-backs were pressing very high, and they are still desperately rushing back.

   Right now in Argentina's penalty area, only central defender Gabriel Milito is left alone.

  Neymar rushed to Gabriel Milito with the ball, stepped on a few bicycles and swayed the angle, and then directly kicked the goal.

"boom!"

"when!"

   This shot was so powerful that it hit the lower edge of the goal's crossbar heavily.

  Goalkeeper Romero's reaction was very quick, and he immediately made a sideways attack.

  But when the ball bounced off the lower edge of the goal crossbar, it just hit Romero's back and bounced into the net.

  So, with the unlucky Romero's own goal, Brazil led Argentina 2:0.

   "Hahahaha, this Romero is too unlucky!"

   "This broadcast shot is too bad, and I even took a close-up of Batista's facial expression."

   "This is considered to be completely stable. If Argentina still has a chance to equalize with a lead of one goal, then it can basically be declared that the champion of this America's Cup belongs to Brazil."

   "That's right. The team coached by Chen Ran has no record of being reversed by the National People's Congress."

   "Chen Ran is really awesome, he can win the championship wherever he goes."

   "Hehe, when the Brazilian team performed poorly in the group stage, there were still people who suspected that Chen Ran was not acclimatized."

   "Hey, those are blind balls, if you argue with them, you will lose."

   On the sidelines, Batista, who saw Brazil scoring another goal, was livid.

  He has also studied Chen Ran's past record, and knows that this guy is ridiculously stable and has never been reversed.

  But now Argentina has used up three substitutions, and he has used all the methods he can think of. For the rest of the game, we can only rely on the performance of the players on the field.

   On the Brazilian side, with two goals in hand, the players played more easily on the court.

   Next, as long as they play a defensive counterattack honestly, it is only a matter of time before they win the game, and Chen Ran can finally sit on the bench and watch the game steadily.

  As the game time passed, the Argentine players who attacked with all their strength consumed more and more physical energy. When the Brazilian team played a counterattack, there were fewer and fewer players who could return to the defense in time.

   As a result, when the Brazilian team once again grabbed the ball and launched a counterattack, Kaka once again staged his good show of riding alone.

   On the Argentine side, except for the captain Mascherano who is still desperately chasing back, the other midfielders can no longer come back.

   After Kaka used his own speed to get rid of Mascherano, he once again passed the central defender Gabriel Milito who came out to intercept.

  At the same time, Neymar and Pato on both sides are also advancing at high speed, attracting the defensive attention of the two Argentine full-backs Rojo and Zabaleta.

   Facing the last Argentine central defender Burdisso, Kaka flicked the ball to the front left, dodged the angle and kicked the goal directly.

"boom!"

  Goalkeeper Romero reacted very quickly and immediately flew towards him. But even though he tried his best, he still couldn't touch the ball, and could only watch the ball fly into his net again.

   "GOAL!!!"

   With Kaka's one-stop goal, Brazil leads Argentina 3:0.

   "I didn't expect that. Before the game, I predicted that the Brazilian team would win, but I didn't dare to think about winning 3-0."

   "Me too. After all, Brazil and Argentina are both top teams, and the difference in strength is not too big. Even with Chen Ran's blessing, they can win by one or two goals at most."

   "Haha, this can better reflect the strength of Chen Ran. You must know that the Brazilian team was eliminated in the World Cup in South Africa, but they only reached the top 16."

   "It's still Dunga's poor vision in selecting players. There are so many stars who have passed the test of the five major European leagues, but he chose a bunch of players whose names he has never heard of. It's a ghost if the results are good."

   "That is. When it comes to selecting players, looking at today's football, Chen Ran said that he is second, and no one dares to say that he is the first."

  When Brazil scored the third goal, the morale of Argentina was obviously hit hard.

   Fortunately, Chen Ran didn't intend to go on a killing spree. Seeing that there was no suspense in the game, he also started to replace the substitute player Ming Jin to withdraw.

   Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Brazilian team started to stop, Argentina scored a face-saving goal from Di Maria in stoppage time.

  In the end, with the goals of Pato, Neymar and Kaka, the Brazilian team easily defeated their opponents 3:1 at home in Argentina and won the 43rd Copa America trophy in one fell swoop.

   "Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the America's Cup, and a bonus of 20 million euros for the champion!"

  “. Only 20 million euros? It’s not as much as the Champions League prize money. How much the system looks down on the Copa America.”

   While Chen Ran was secretly complaining about the system's rewards, he suddenly found himself lifted up again.

   "Fuck! Why are you still playing this game in Brazil?"

  Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to what Chen Ran was saying at this time. Under the leadership of Kaka and other Crystal Palace players, Chen Ran was thrown into the air by them again.

   "Congratulations to Chen Ran for adding another championship trophy!"

   "Hahahaha, isn't this guy Chen Ran planning to win all the top football championships?"

"Huh? It's really possible. For the club, he has won the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, European Super Cup, and Club World Cup. If it weren't for the fact that he is the owner of the Crystal Palace Club, he probably would have Win all five major league titles."

   "It is indeed possible. He is now leading the national team and has already won the World Cup and America's Cup. I guess he will focus on the European Cup next."

   "I think Chen Ran's next goal should not be the European Cup championship, otherwise he wouldn't have to run to coach the Brazil team, and then bring Portugal to participate in the European Cup next year."

   "What you said above makes sense. I think Chen Ran's next goal should be to win the World Cup."

   "I'm going! Does he still want to play a three-peat at the World Cup?"

   "I don't think it's impossible."

   "Fuck! If Chen Ran really achieves this step, there will be no one before, and no one to come after!"

   "Maybe he is like setting a record that no one else can ever break?"

   "Damn it, it's crazy!"

   "It's pretty crazy. However, I like it. If Chen Ranzhen can do this, then I will always be his fan."

"Count me in."

"Me too."

  Winning the Copa America, especially in the territory of rival Argentina, made Chen Ran stabilize his position in Brazilian football at once.

  After all, as a recognized football kingdom, there are still many objections in Brazil to hire someone from a country with backward football as the head coach.

  After the Copa America ended, the players disbanded and went on vacation, and Chen Ran also flew back to London directly from Argentina.

   On the second day after Chen Ran returned to London, little fat Louis came to his door.

   "Chen, Guardiola wants to introduce some new players, and then get rid of a few old players."

   "Oh, is that right? Josep is the head coach now, and he has the power." Chen Ran was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then said something lightly.

   "Eh Chen, the current players in the Crystal Palace team are all selected by you one by one, and they have also used their performance to prove that they are worthy of the Crystal Palace club."

   "Wouldn't it be a pity to replace it now according to Guardiola's intention? What's more, can his vision for selecting players be comparable to yours?"

  Little Fatty Louis saw that Chen Ran didn't seem to care, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

   "Well, your worry is not unreasonable. In this way, Luis, you first give me the list of players that Josep wants to deal with."

"okay."

  Seeing that Chen Ran finally changed his tune, little fat Louis immediately happily took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ran.

   Obviously, he was already prepared.

   "Tony, Beckham, Edwin van der Sar. Well, they are all veterans, and Josep is still very measured."

  Seeing these names, Chen Ran's heart suddenly became clear.

  Among the players on the list, Van der Sar is 41 years old this year. Even the goalkeeper, a position that does not require a high age, is definitely an old player.

  Beckham is 36 years old this year, and Tony is also 34 years old. As a midfielder and forward, they are a bit too old.

  Guardiola wants to get rid of these three players, which is very reasonable.

   "Luis, show me the list of players that Josep wants to introduce."

  Hearing Chen Ran's request, Little Fatty Louis, who had prepared earlier, immediately handed over the second list.

  If the first list was acceptable to Chen Ran, then after reading the second list, Chen Ran couldn't help frowning.

  The players Guardiola wants to introduce are almost all playing in La Liga, or simply Spanish players.

   It's not that these players are parallel imports, they are quite famous stars even in their previous lives.

   It's just that the current Crystal Palace is no longer an ordinary team.

   With the top stars selected by Chen Ran using his previous life memories, the standard is quite high if he wants to be worthy of the Crystal Palace.

After picking and choosing, Chen Ran finally selected a player who was considered worthy of the signings provided by Guardiola-Spain's active international footballer, who can play as a central defender and a versatile midfielder. Harvey Martin Ness.

   Born in 1988, Harvey Martinez is only 23 years old this year, but he has already played the main force in the La Liga team Athletic Bilbao.

  If the development of the previous life is followed, he will be bought by Bayern Munich next year and become the defensive core of the Bundesliga hegemony.

   Judging from the achievements of Harvey Martinez in his previous life, he is actually worthy of the Crystal Palace.

   However, Chen Ran clearly knows that Harvey Martinez has a big flaw, that is, he is prone to injury.

  In his previous life, he often heard news that this guy was injured. There was even a serious injury, and he played only one game all season.

   This is also an important reason why Chen Ran didn't consider Harvey Martinez when he was collecting little monsters everywhere.

   No matter how strong the ability is, what's the point of not being able to play in the game?

  However, now that Guardiola has included him in the list, considering that if all of Guardiola's signing requests are rejected, the impact will not be good.

  So, after repeated consideration, Chen Ran decided to introduce Harvey Martinez as a way to appease Guardiola.

   "Luis, this Harvey Martinez can be introduced, but forget about other players."

   "Understood! But, hey, Chen, you still need to go and talk to Guardiola in person about this matter."

  Little Fatty Louis came over and said with a playful smile.

   "What's the matter? You are the sports manager of the Crystal Palace club, and the transfer is your job."

  Chen Ran frowned, and turned to look at little fat Louis.

   "Chen, it's not that I want to be lazy, but I can't speak well. Guardiola won't listen to me at all."

  Little Fatty Louis spread his hands and said with an aggrieved expression.

   "What? Did you have a conflict with Guardiola?"

   "There is no conflict. However, Guardiola's brother Pere Guardiola always wants to get involved in our Crystal Palace transfer."

   "Oh? What's the specific situation?"

  Hearing this, Chen Ran knew in his heart that little fat Luis came here to give the Guardiola brothers eye drops.

   "Chen, according to the information I got, the list provided by Guardiola includes players under Pere Guardiola."

   "Is the message OK?"

   "100% sure! Chen, I dare not say anything else. Our family still has some contacts in Spanish football."

  Little fat Louis patted his chest wildly, and stuck his neck to promise Chen Ran.

   Chen Ran believed this.

  Spain has always been one of the most important shipping destinations in South American football. Given the status of the Figel family in South American football, it is definitely no problem to inquire about some not-so-secret news in Spain.

"I know. You don't know about this matter. I will talk to Guardiola in person. However, you should hurry up about the introduction of Harvey Martinez and contact Athletic Club Bilbao as soon as possible. .Understand?"

"clear!"

  After dismissing little fat boy Louis, Chen Ran couldn't help but rubbed the space between his brows.

  Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, headaches.

  When Chen Ran was concurrently the head coach of the Crystal Palace Club, he handled everything himself, and the others just had to follow the instructions.

  Although the club management headed by Stephen and Fatty Louis, and the coaching team headed by Guardiola, Southgate and Simeone belong to two small groups, the problem is not obvious yet.

  But since Chen Ran let go, the friction between these two small groups has gradually increased.

  Especially in the transfer affairs where the power of the two parties intersects, it is particularly obvious.
