Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 19 Public Opinion War

That night, public opinion exploded.

An unremarkable press conference suddenly became the focus of TV and the Internet that night.

Key words such as Chen Ran, Simeone, and Crystal Palace have repeatedly appeared in various TV programs and major online communities.

"Boss, I caused you trouble."

Although Simeone didn't think he had done anything wrong, Chen Ran was now the target of being attacked in order to speak for him, which made him feel grateful and guilty.

"It's okay, it wasn't your fault in the first place."

Chen Ran patted Simeone on the shoulder and comforted him.

In fact, before the introduction of Simeone, he had already anticipated that a situation similar to today would appear, and he also prepared several sets of countermeasures for this.

Now it seems that it is time to open the No. [-] bag.

"Stephen, doesn't Sky TV want to give me an exclusive interview? Tell them, I have time to accept an interview tomorrow."

"What? Tomorrow?"

Stephen was taken aback. Now Chen Ran is on the cusp. Is this the right time?

"Yes, it's tomorrow. Now is the time when my enthusiasm is the highest, and some things are said to be most effective at this time."

"you sure?"

"determine."

After explaining to Stephen, Chen Ran looked at Simeone again.

"Diego, you haven't been going anywhere except the training base for the past few days. The British paparazzi are very powerful. I guess you've been targeted by them now."

"Boss, don't worry, I know what to do, and I can use this time to design a style of play for the team."

Simeone nodded, he was very clear about Chen Ran's intentions.He is not a brat, and he can clearly distinguish the priorities.

"Josep, spend more time with Diego these days. You two are about the same age, both of you have just arrived in London, and you can both speak Spanish, so you can take care of each other."

"Okay, boss."

"Gareth, the team's locker room will be handed over to you. This time the change of old and new is very large, and we must pay special attention to the relationship between new players and old players."

"Don't worry, boss, I will leave the locker room to me. I have experience in this area."

It was late at night, when Cheryl fell asleep after being fed, Chen Ran quietly came to the study.

After lighting a cigarette, he began to take stock of his plans to see if there were any omissions.

The introduction of Simeone may bring him big troubles, which was already expected by Chen Ran.

But why does he still want to win Simeone?
In fact, Chen Ran's goal is not only for the Crystal Palace, but also for the future national football team.

Even in 2022, the national football team still has not found a style of play that suits them.

Either confront others and be brutally abused by others;

Or he only knew how to defend but did not fight back, and was smothered.

In Chen Ran's view, Atletico Madrid's defensive counterattack tactics led by Simeone are most suitable for the national football team.

If you only talk about the results of coaching the team, then Guardiola is obviously above Simeone.

But can those players who play Guardiola's pass control play French football?

Chen Ran knew it was impossible with his ass.

Among those opponents in Asia, Japan, South Korea, Iran, Australia, and Saudi Arabia, which one is not stronger than the national football team?
Under the terrifying shadow of Barcelona and Real Madrid, Simeone was able to lead Atletico Madrid to snatch the La Liga championship every now and then, which is enough to show that Simeone's tactics are extremely practical, and he is especially good at defeating the strong with the weak.

However, if the normal situation develops, the possibility of Simeone coaching the national football team is almost zero.

For some people, money can be used to seduce; but for some people, money alone cannot be used.

So, Chen Ran made a move.

Even though he might pay a considerable price, he still decided to make a move.

Although Chen Ran also wants to lead the national football team to the World Cup, who knows if he has the talent to be a coach after his rebirth?
Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

In order to realize the ideal in mind, there is no harm in preparing two sets of plans.

In this way, many things have to be paved in advance, and it is too late to hold Buddha's feet temporarily.

The more difficult Simeone is in now, the more valuable his attitude of supporting him is, and the more he owes himself.

If Simeone can owe himself a big favor, and then supplemented with a generous salary.With a two-pronged approach, maybe he can be abducted to coach the national football team at that time.

Therefore, for tomorrow's Sky TV interview, Chen Ran has already prepared the draft.

Complaining for Simeone and seizing the moral high ground is the most important core.

Early the next morning, Sky TV kept announcing the interview with Chen Ran on the program.

The interview was conducted live, with no editing throughout.

Moreover, Sky TV station sent their leading actress, Christy Gallagher, to conduct an interview.

At this moment, he immediately attracted the attention of countless English people, even if he is not a football fan.

When he learned that it was Christy Gallagher who was interviewing him, Chen Ran felt certain in his heart. It seemed that Sky TV didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Known for her breezy and gentle hosting style, Christie Gallagher is unique in the male-dominated field of football hosting.Coupled with her glamorous appearance and good figure, Sky TV has attracted many viewers who are not fans.

The interview started with Christy Gallagher's usual light and gentle hosting style. She asked Chen Ran about the process of entering the Crystal Palace, her plans for the club, the signings of the new season, etc., as if everything was peaceful .

But not long after, Christine Gallagher seemed to feel that the heat was almost ready, and changed the subject, revealing her sharp fangs.

"Mr. Chen, do you know what happened between David Beckham and Diego Simeone?"

"know."

Upon hearing this question, Chen Ran immediately realized that today's highlight was coming.

"Then why did you bring in Simeone?"

"I think that was all five years ago, so it shouldn't have any impact."

"But the fact is obviously not the case. England was eliminated in the 98 World Cup because of Beckham's red card. Many England fans still can't let it go."

"I believe that Mr. Beckham has fully realized the mistakes he made. After all, he was still young at the time. It is understandable that young people are sometimes impulsive."

"Mr. Chen, but many British fans believe that Simeone caused Beckham's red card."

"Oh? Is that so? I'm sorry. In 98, I was just an ordinary fan, watching the game in front of the TV like everyone else. Judging from the TV pictures at the time, this was a very common incident after being violated. Retaliatory actions, are there any details that are not shown on TV?"

"Well, it's not."

"That's good. Actually, the reason why I am willing to accept Sky TV's exclusive interview today is because I want to use your platform to express my thoughts. Is that okay, Christy?"

"Of course, please tell me, Mr. Chen."

"Everyone knows that I come from a country with underdeveloped football, and I was unable to reach the World Cup finals for many years before."

"Every time I am eliminated in the world preliminaries, I will be like everyone else, scolding players who made mistakes and scolding stupid coaches."

"But when the next world preliminaries start, I will go back to the TV and cheer for the team. Even if the player who made a mistake before is still on the team, I will still cheer for him."

"Last year my country made it to the World Cup with great difficulty. Although we lost all three games, I am still very happy because we have made history."

"So, I, who like football, decided to do something. So, I came to the birthplace of modern football and bought the Crystal Palace club."

"In my opinion, the Premier League is the best football league in the world. It is open, inclusive and attracts the best players from all over the world."

"Here, I implore everyone to forget the past and look to the future, so that what happens on the football field, stays on the football field."

"I believe that with such a good league foundation, the strength of England's players will become stronger and stronger. It is only a matter of time before they win the World Cup."
