Chapter 5 Stocking up
The meeting with Tuchel went well, he is only an U19 youth team coach after all.
Although Crystal Palace is only a British Championship team, it is still very attractive to him to be in charge of a club's youth training affairs.
After got Tuchel, Chen Ran flew to Rome, Italy with Louis again.
"Chen, Simone has already contacted him, and we can meet tomorrow night."
Luis hung up the phone, turned his head and said to Chen Ran, "However, aren't we going to find the head coach?"
"Isn't this looking for it?"
“???”
"You mean Simeone? He's a player, are you mistaken?"
Seeing the surprised Louis, Chen Ran smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
In a restaurant in Rome at night.
"I believe that Mr. Simeone already knows our intention. On behalf of Crystal Palace Club, I solemnly invite Mr. Simeone to join the team."
Chen Ran didn't go around the corner and directly stated his purpose.
Simeone and the agent glanced at each other, not surprised.
He is an Argentine. As long as he is a South American player, it is impossible not to know the fame of Luis' father.
Chen Ran's intention to visit has long been communicated to Simeone's agent through Luis.
Simeone is 33 years old and has reached the end of his career.
With the decline of physical function and the increase of injuries, it has been difficult for him to play in Lazio this season.
Maybe it's time to change the environment, which is also an important reason why Simeone is willing to go to the appointment tonight.
"Mr. Chairman, with all due respect, Crystal Palace is only a British Championship team, while Lazio is a giant club in Italy." Simeone's agent took the initiative to jump out and sing blackface.
"What about the giants? For a player, how bad it feels to not be able to play, I believe Mr. Simeone must be very clear." Luis also did his part to send the agent back.
The two of you come and go, but it was very lively.
That's right, this agent has already given Luiz through. He has no objection to Simeone's transfer, as long as the price is right.
Chen Ran just looked at Simeone with a smile, he knew what Simeone wanted.
"Mr. Simeone, for players, 33 years old means it's time to think about post-retirement planning."
"And we Crystal Palace have made a plan for you, are you interested in listening?"
"Oh? Mr. Chairman, please speak."
Simeone was a little surprised, he thought Chen Ran would lure him with a high salary.
"I wonder if Mr. Simeone has the idea of becoming a coach after retiring?"
"This is indeed what I want to do in the future. In fact, I am already testing for the coach's qualification certificate."
"That's right. Our plan is that after you join Crystal Palace, you can also play as an assistant coach of the first team at the same time. After all, high-level coaching qualifications require a certain amount of coaching experience."
"I didn't expect Mr. Chairman to know so much about the coaching profession."
"Haha, Mr. Simeone, you may not know that when I was studying football management MBA at Liverpool University, I was also taking the coaching qualification certificate."
"So it is. Does Mr. Chairman also want to be a coach?" Simeone is now more and more interested in the young chairman in front of him.
"It's not. I like football. If you want to build Crystal Palace into a great club, you must know enough about all aspects of football. Mr. Simeone, are you willing to work with me to achieve this goal?"
Simeone looked at the man in front of him when he talked about football, his face seemed to be shining. There is only one feeling in my heart, this is indeed a person who really loves football.
Maybe give it a try?
After persuaded Simeone, the Lazio club was not in a dilemma.
Simeone, who was already on the processing list, would be better if someone was willing to take over.
The 33-year-old veteran who was covered in injuries couldn’t really sell for any price. In the end, the two sides reached a deal for 1 million euros through the three-inch incorrupt tongue of the little fat Louis.
After got Simeone, Chen Ran and Luis rushed to Brescia without stopping.
"Chen, this Guardiola tested positive and could be suspended at any time. Are you sure you want to find him?"
Louis felt that he was going crazy, what exactly does this guy Chen Ran want to do?
First is the coach of the Bundesliga team, then the youth team coach, and then the veteran who is about to retire. These are still normal people.
Now it's even more exaggerated, Chen Ran is going to invite a player who is about to be suspended.
God, what kind of friend have I met?
Looking at Louis's face about to collapse, and his whole fat face almost wrinkled into a bun, Chen Ran couldn't help but feel amused.
"Well, even if Guardiola is suspended, he just can't play. I'm looking for him mainly because I want him to be a coach, and it's just an assistant coach, you don't need to be so excited."
"Like Simone?" Luis finally calmed down a little.
"That's right. Player and coach, he can play if he can, and if he is suspended, he will be a coach."
"Okay, it's almost the same, anyway, you can figure it out yourself."
Soon, Chen Ran saw the gaunt Guardiola.
This guy is now busy all day appealing for the positive drug test, making the whole person exhausted and exhausted.
"Mr. Guardiola, on behalf of Crystal Palace Club, I officially invite you to join."
". Mr. Chairman, did I hear right? Are you inviting me to join the Crystal Palace Club?"
Guardiola was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't believe his ears. At this time, anyone dared to ask him?
"Yes, Mr. Guardiola, your hearing is very good." Chen Ran nodded with a smile.
"You don't know about my positive drug test?"
"I believe Mr Guardiola is innocent."
".thanks, thanks!"
"Mr Guardiola, as long as you haven't done it, the court will clear you sooner or later."
"You can join Crystal Palace Club first, and we will do our best to help you win this lawsuit. I plan to let you serve as a player and coach after joining, so even if you are really suspended, you can be a coach at a big deal."
"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for being so thoughtful about me."
Guardiola has enjoyed great popularity in Barcelona for many years, and now the Brescia club has also terminated his contract because of the drug test.
Now it has been reduced to the point where no one cares, and the feelings of human beings are cold and warm, and the natural feeling is more real.
It’s easy to add icing on the cake, but it’s hard to give charcoal in the snow.
In this way, Guardiola officially joined Crystal Palace.
