Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 4: The Beard Is Pretty Pleasant

Hearing Chen Ran's words, Klopp's face darkened.

Indeed, for two consecutive years in the Bundesliga, they all failed at the last minute, which is really bad for morale.

"I think Mr. Klopp should change the environment now, adjust his mood and start again. This is a good choice for you personally and Mainz."

"If you fail for three consecutive years, the damage to yourself and Mainz will be too great."

Seeing that Uncle Zha was a little moved, Chen Ran tried his best to flicker, and at the same time stepped on the little fat man next to him under the table.

Louis understood, and winked at the agent who accompanied Klopp to the appointment. The little fat man had already settled the agent last night.

So, there were four people at a table, and three of them were fooling around.

In the end, Uncle Zha even forgot what he had for dinner, and agreed in a daze to go back and consider Chen Ran's invitation.

"Chen, Klopp is just the head coach of a Bundesliga team, is it worth it?"

The little chubby Louis who returned to the hotel couldn't help asking, but they promised Klopp's agent a high commission kickback.

"Of course it's worth it. This is the cornerstone of our future team."

"So exaggerated?"

"It's that exaggerated."

At this time, Chen Ran's phone rang.

"Chen, there is news about the loan. I have contacted five banks, and their terms have their own advantages and disadvantages, and you need to decide." Stephen's voice came from the phone.

"Thank you, which one has the highest loan amount?"

"Barclays Bank, they are willing to provide a loan of 3000 million euros with an annual interest rate of 10%. The first two years can only be repaid with interest, and the third year must be repaid with the principal and interest, otherwise the Crystal Palace Club will be theirs."

"You send all their conditions to my email, and I will compare."

"Ok."

After hanging up Stephen's phone, Chen Ran started to open his notebook to check his emails.

"Any news about the loan?" Louis came up and asked.

"Yes, you can make an appointment with Klopp's agent again, we now have the confidence to knock him out with money."

"clear."

Soon, the two sides met again.

"Mr. Klopp, if you are willing to accept our invitation to coach Crystal Palace Club, we are willing to offer you a ten-year coaching contract."

Chen Ran changed his strategy this time, coming up with heavy artillery.

"ten years?"

This time, not only Klopp, but even his agent and Louis were stunned.

"Is this too long?"

Klopp felt a little dizzy again.

"Hehe, it's actually okay. My goal is to build a football dynasty. It takes time, and I'm willing to give Mr. Klopp enough time to build a team according to your ideas."

"Mr. Chairman, what are you saying: I can build the team the way I want?"

Klopp's eyes lit up when he heard it. This is probably the coaching environment that every coach wants.

"Of course. For this reason, I can also promise that you will receive 3000 million euros in transfer funds in the first season of coaching Crystal Palace. And every season after that, it will not be lower than this figure."

Klopp was completely dizzy now.

Blissful vertigo.

He is the coach of a Bundesliga team, when did he see a transfer fund of 3000 million euros?

Even Bayern Munich, the overlord of German football, spent only 2450 million euros in transfers last season.

"Mr. Chairman, are you sure it is 3000 million euros?"

Klopp couldn't believe his ears.

"Very sure. If Mr. Klopp is worried, it can be written into the contract. If you don't have 3000 million euros, you can leave at any time."

Chen Ran's strategy worked very well, and Klopp was stunned by two heavy shots.

I saw that Uncle Zha's face turned red and turned white, and his forehead was already sweating, obviously he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle.

After a long time, Uncle Zha breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body went limp, and he spread out on the chair.

"Mr. Chairman, thank you very much for your appreciation of me. Unfortunately, I still cannot accept your invitation."

"I have played in Mainz since I was a player. I have played for 12 years. I have always played in the second division and never played in the Bundesliga. Although I have not achieved any decent results, it is very good. I am very grateful to Mainz. Ci club."

Klopp seemed immersed in memories, speaking slowly and calmly.

"Now is the time when the Mainz team has the best chance to be promoted to the Bundesliga. Everyone is looking forward to that day. Therefore, I cannot leave at this time. I hope you can understand."

Quiet, the whole table was extraordinarily quiet.

Klopp's agent wanted to speak, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

There are not many people who have ideals and principles and can resist temptation, so they are always very respectable.

Although he was rejected, Chen Ran was not angry, but felt that Uncle Zha's beard was more pleasing to the eye.

"It doesn't matter. I appreciate Mr. Klopp's persistence very much. As long as you are willing, the door of the Crystal Palace Club will always be open to you."

After thinking about it, Chen Ran immediately added another sentence.

"Mr. Klopp, if one day you want to leave Mainz, please be sure to consider Crystal Palace first."

"must!"

"Chen, what should we do now? Who is our next target?"

Louis, who had returned to the hotel, asked consciously.

"Let's go to Stuttgart tomorrow, please contact Tuchel, the coach of the Stuttgart U19 youth team."

"What? You don't want to invite the coach of the youth team back to be the head coach, do you?" Louis couldn't help calling out.

"What are you thinking? I plan to ask Tuchel to go back to be the director of youth training, responsible for the youth training of Crystal Palace."

"That's good."

Chen Ran always played cards out of routine, which made Louis a little mentally weak.

After seeing Klopp, going to see Tuchel was something Chen Ran had planned long ago.

It's a pity that I didn't expect to be rejected by Klopp, so now I have to find another way.

Chen Ran knew very well in his heart that it is impossible for the famous coaches who are popular in the football world to look up to Crystal Palace, and he never planned to make fun of himself.

As for those sub-level coaches, he looked down on them.

He traveled from 2022, and he knew that most of these people had already been eliminated by then.

Even Mourinho, who is just emerging now, will be exhausted in 2022 and can only coach second-tier teams.

Therefore, Chen Ran's goal has always been set on those young coaches who are still unknown now, but will become powerful in the future.

If Klopp can't get it done, then get rid of Tuchel, known as "Klopp's successor", first.

A trip to Germany should not be in vain, you have to bring something back with you.
