Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 409 The Protagonist of the Football World

"Very big. Director Xu, there are too few high-level youth competitions in China. Compared with European children of the same age, our players play about 30 fewer high-level competitions per year."

"Think about it, the difference is 30 games a year, and 10 games in 300 years. Over time, can the gap be small?"

This time, Director Xu stopped talking completely.

He has been engaged in youth training all these years, and he is very clear about the situation of youth training in domestic football.

In short, there are few people who do things with their heart, but many people who make money with their heart.

"So you want to select players at home and then bring them to Europe for training?"

Thinking of the layout Chen Ran started a few years ago, Director Xu admired it from the bottom of his heart.This young man can see clearly, see far, take one step and see three steps, and make a decision before making a move. He is a person who does great things.

"That's right. There are countless competitions for youngsters of all ages in Europe. Our children will not worry about not having high-level games to play after they pass."

"And I also set up a new 'Galaxy Cup' youth football invitational tournament in the name of the Galaxy Football Group, and the time is set for the summer vacation every summer."

"I believe that children who have been honed through high-level, fast-paced, and high-confrontation competitions will definitely make a qualitative leap compared to current domestic players."

"Then the national football team composed of them will no longer be able to reach the World Cup finals."

Chen Ran's description made Director Xu's eyes light up.

The old man has devoted his whole life to Huaguo football, and no one wants to see the rise of Huaguo football more than him.

"I wish I could see that day!"

Director Xu sighed, he didn't want to be like Lu You, a "family sacrifice without forgetting to tell Nai Weng".

"Haha, Director Xu, you are still very young, and you will definitely see that day."

Chen Ran laughed, and counted the time for Director Xu with his fingers.

"I started the selection process the year before last, and I selected children who were about ten years old. Under the environment of Europe, it takes about ten to 15 years for these children to take the lead."

"At that time, there will be too many national football teams formed with these children as the main body, but it is not a problem to get a ticket to the World Cup finals in Asia."

Seeing Chen Ran's confident expression, Director Xu hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help pouring cold water on him.

"Xiao Chen, I have no doubts about your vision in selecting players and your ability to train players. But have you ever thought about it? With the situation of our domestic football, we may not necessarily form a team according to your suggestion."

"You know, we are still a society of human relationships after all. Especially in the football circle, it is a closed environment with intertwined interests. Sometimes, whether you can become a national footballer depends on more than just the level of competition."

Looking at Xu's earnest look, Chen Ran knew that the old man was really thinking about him.

As a reborn person, how could he not be clear about what Director Xu said?

In this circle, there are too many flies, mosquitoes and bed bugs.They put on the skin of professionals and lie on Huaguo football to suck blood.

"Director Xu, I have considered everything you said. At that time, I will first compete for the position of head coach of the national football team. I believe that based on my achievements over the years, it should not be a problem to get this position."

"After I become the head coach of the national football team, I will make a big change according to my ideas. As for the various doubts and pressures that may arise at that time, I will use the victories of the games to silence those people."

"Haha, it seems that you have already considered these situations clearly. It's the old man who worries me too much."

Director Xu looked at Chen Ran with a look of relief, this kid really did not disappoint him.

"Director Xu, don't flatter me. Although I have a good idea, I also understand that things cannot go completely according to my plan. If something unexpected happens at that time, I still need you to stand up and support me."

"Haha, Xiao Chen, you are too modest. Don't worry, if you need the old man at that time, I will never stand idly by."

During this summer offseason, Chen Ran rarely relaxed.

After using the Liverpool club to make an example, at least in this summer transfer period, no team should dare to contact the players of the Crystal Palace club in private.

He has given Stephen full responsibility for the International Champions Cup.

As for Crystal Palace's preparations for the new season, Chen Ran also left Simeone and Southgate with detailed plans and then completely let them go. Even the International Champions Cup game was planned to be handed over to these two guys.

After a busy season, he hasn't been able to accompany Cheryl well.And next season, he will also take care of the Portuguese national team, and it is foreseeable that he will only become busier.

Therefore, Chen Ran plans to take time out this summer to play around with Cheryl.

Just as he was about to leave Shanghai, little fat Louis suddenly called from London.

"Chen, the Real Madrid club sent an acquisition intention, asking if we are willing to sell Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi."

"Real Madrid? Is Mourinho another moth?" Chen Ran's first reaction was to think of Mourinho, the enemy.

"Well, it seems that this time it really isn't. I found someone to inquire about it, and it seems to be the idea of ​​the new Real Madrid chairman Florentino."

"This Florentino has always liked to introduce big-name stars. When he was the chairman of Real Madrid last time, he bought a bunch of superstars to form the so-called 'Galaxy Battleship'. Zidane's highest transfer fee record is Created at that time."

"I guess he is serving as the chairman of the Real Madrid Club for the second time, and he also intends to play another big game. After all, there is no better operation than the introduction of top superstars."

"They didn't contact our players or agents in private, did they?" Chen Ran asked worriedly.

After all, Real Madrid is not an ordinary wealthy club, and the "Emperor's Dream" is no joke.

"Haha, that's not the case. I specifically asked those private detectives, and everything is normal, and those agents have been doing well recently. Chen, I have to say that your trick of killing chickens and monkeys is really effective."

"It's fine if you don't have one. You reply to the Real Madrid club. Whether it is Ronaldo, Kaka or Messi, these three players are not for sale at the Crystal Palace club, and they will not be sold for any amount of money."

"Ok, I see."

"By the way, Luis, I will give you another task. You go to the Belgian Genk Club to find a Belgian kid named Thibaut Courtois. He is a goalkeeper. He is 17 years old. Take him back to the Crystal Palace and hand him over to the Tutu. Hale. Do you understand?"

"Er Belgium Genk? Chen, isn't this the club that De Bruyne was in before. The owner of this club is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Be careful that he speaks like a lion like De Bruyne."

Thinking of the few failed transfer cases he had handled, Little Fatty Louis still broods on it.

"It's the Genk Club. But don't worry, there shouldn't be a guy like Mark Hughes coming out to disrupt the situation this time. The owner of the Genk Club doesn't have the confidence to ask for a high price."

"After all, Courtois is only a 17-year-old goalkeeper. The position of a goalkeeper is quite special. Generally, no one would pay a high price for an unproven young goalkeeper."

"Understood, I will send someone to deal with it. By the way, what price are you going to quote this Courtois?"

"About 500 million euros is about the same, and the upper limit cannot exceed 1000 million euros."

"clear."

Spain, Office of the President of the Real Madrid Club.

Florentino pointed to the replies from the Crystal Palace Club on the table, and glanced at Mourinho and Mendes respectively.

"Crystal Palace Club has rejected our inquiry, and made it clear that these three players are not for sale. Should we continue to increase or give up, what do you two think?"

Because of Mourinho's relationship, Mendes has now become a transfer consultant for the Real Madrid club, so he also appeared here today.

"Mr. Chairman, with all due respect, may I ask how much you are willing to pay to bring in these three players from the Crystal Palace club?"

Knowing that this was his responsibility, Mendes did not dodge, and took the initiative to stand up and answer Florentino's question. After all, Real Madrid also paid for it.

"Jorge, my expectation is: Cristiano Ronaldo does not exceed 2000 million euros, Messi does not exceed 8000 million euros, and Kaka does not exceed [-] million euros."

There were no outsiders present, and Florentino directly reported his hole cards.

"Mr. Chairman, Manchester City Club offered this price last year, but it was directly rejected by Crystal Palace Club. Therefore, according to my judgment, if it is only this offer, we may get the same result this time."

After listening to Mendes' analysis, Florentino suddenly fell silent.

Although Real Madrid has a big family and a big business, it also has a big burden. There is no way to not treat money as money like those oil tycoons.

"Mr. Chairman, I have a suggestion. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

At this time, Mourinho, who had been sitting silently by the side, suddenly said something.

"Oh? Jose, what can you do? Just say it." Florentino's attention was immediately attracted by Mourinho.

"Mr. Chairman, I think we should give up the plan to introduce these three players at the same time, because the possibility of success in this case is too low. We might as well concentrate the funds on one of the players, which is more likely to impress the Chinese man .”

"José, your suggestion is very good. The previous plan was a bit too greedy." Florentino's eyes lit up when he heard it. This is indeed the most feasible method at present.

As if thinking of something, Florentino asked again: "José, you are the head coach. If you were to focus on bringing in one player, which one would you choose?"

"Of course it is Cristiano Ronaldo. Whether it is in terms of talent, ability or age, he is the best candidate."

Mourinho immediately reported Ronaldo's name without thinking.

"Although Messi is very talented, he still needs time to grow. Kaka has reached the middle and late stages of his peak period, and will inevitably go downhill in the future."

Florentino nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to Mendes who was aside.

"Jorge, what do you think?"

"Mr. Chairman, Chris is my player after all. I don't think it's convenient for me to express my opinion on this matter."

"Haha, Jorge, you are thinking too much. If you really want to care about it, then Jose should also avoid it. It doesn't matter, just say it."

Florentino smiled and waved his hands, a look of indifference.

Just because your boss is easy-going doesn't mean you can really be casual.

The veteran Jianghu Mendes is well versed in this, and after a little thought, he carefully expressed his opinion.

"Mr. Chairman, leaving aside the relationship between me and Chris, just analyzing the conditions listed by Jose, Chris is indeed the most suitable candidate."

"Okay, I see what you mean."

Florentino nodded slowly. In fact, his thoughts were similar to those of Mendes and Mourinho.

"Jorge, I heard that you have a good relationship with that Chinese man. I would like to trouble you to contact him about this matter, and say that our Real Madrid club is willing to offer 5000 million euros to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo."

"hiss"

In the quiet office, there was a sudden gasp.

Whether it was Mendes or Mourinho, this time they were really scared.

You know, the current highest transfer record in world football is only Zidane's 500 million euros.

But now, Florentino is going to more than double this record.

What is big money?
Even Mendes, who is well-informed, has to admit that today is really knowledgeable.

"Mr. Chairman, with all due respect, what you just said was an offer of 5000 million euros for the introduction of Cristiano Ronaldo?"

Perhaps because he was too shocked, Mendes couldn't believe his ears, and asked again worriedly.

"Jorge, you heard that right, it's 5000 million euros!"

For Mendes and Mourinho's response, Florentino is very satisfied.

He is playing big money. I believe that if this transfer is successful, then he and the Real Madrid club will once again shock the world.

Real Madrid Club has always been the protagonist in the football world.

For other clubs, at most, they are just temporary replacements when the protagonist goes to rest.

After coming out of Florentino's office, Mendes and Mourinho glanced at each other tacitly.

Not a word was said, everything was kept silent.

Back at his residence, Mendes did not contact Chen Ran, but directly called Ronaldo.
