Chapter 48 Records

"Thomas, how are the kids doing?"

Tuchel watched the game too intently, and recorded something in a notebook from time to time.It was only after hearing Chen Ran's voice that he realized his arrival.

"Boss, why are you here? Do you need me?"

Tuchel quickly stood up and replied.

"Sit down, let me take a look at the situation of the youth team. Are there any outstanding children?"

"Yes, those kids you just brought in from Barcelona. Especially Cesc Fabregas, who is too mature in handling the ball, very organized in attacking, not at all like a kid his age should have. At least it's the first time I've seen it."

Chen Ran nodded, and Cesc Fabregas was as precocious as he was in his previous life, so it would be easy.

"Then do you think Fabregas can play in the Championship with his current ability?"

"The Championship? Now?"

Tuchel looked at Chen Ran in surprise, "Boss, Cesc Fabregas is only 16 years old, is it too anxious to let him play in the Championship now?"

"I can't help it either, you know about Josep, right?"

"I heard, I plan to go to the hospital to see him later."

"It's good to know that Josep is the core of our Crystal Palace midfielder. Once he is absent, the people who control the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions will be gone. The rest are either too young and immature, or the body is not well developed and too thin. Think about it Go, I'm going to try to transfer Cesc Fabregas."

"Cesc Fabregas' ability to control the offensive and defensive rhythm is really good. However, boss, I must remind you that this is only his performance in the youth team game. I can't guarantee whether he will be good in the league. .”

Seeing Chen Ran's insistence, Tuchel still reminded him wholeheartedly.

"Don't worry, the next game is the League Cup match against Torquay United, a fifth-tier team. It's just a matter of letting him come on as a substitute to see the effect, and we won't just use him as the main force."

"That's good."

After the youth team game ended, Chen Ran called Fabregas aside alone.

"Cesc, are you still used to the time you've been in London?"

"It's not bad, but the weather in London is much worse than in Barcelona."

"I really can't help it, you just have to get used to it slowly."

"Boss, how is Josep doing now? The few of us want to go to the hospital to see him."

"Don't worry, I invited the best doctor in the UK to operate on him, and he will definitely recover."

"That's good. Boss, what do you want me to do?"

"It is true. Josep's injury will take a long time to recover. During this time, I want you to replace him."

"What? Me? Boss, are you kidding me?"

Fabregas couldn't believe his ears.

From the first day he joined Crystal Palace, he knew that Guardiola is the absolute core of Crystal Palace's midfield and the hub of the team's offensive and defensive transition.

Because they also came from the La Masia youth training camp in Barcelona, ​​and the position attributes of the two are similar, which makes Fabregas regard Guardiola as the goal of his hard work.

But now he is going to replace Guardiola's position, but Fabregas never thought of it.

"I'm not kidding. I'm here today to ask you a question: Are you willing to accept this challenge?"

"."

Hearing Chen Ran's question, Fabregas froze for a moment.

Frankly speaking, before joining Crystal Palace, under Chen Ran's flickering, he did imagine himself becoming a main player and representing Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

However, he did not expect this day to come so soon, so early.

After a long time, when Cesc Fabregas raised his head again, his eyes were full of determination.

"Boss, I am willing to accept this challenge."

The UK's suspension system is quite special. If it is a cumulative suspension of yellow cards, it will only be counted in that event.If the suspension is caused by a red card, even if two yellows turn into one red, it will also take effect in all competitions under the FA.

This is also a loophole in the rules that many strong teams often use, using unimportant cup games to shuffle the cards.

Therefore, Simeone's red card in the last English Championship game made him unable to play in this League Cup, but it did not affect his participation in the next round of the English Championship.

The premise is that the FA does not impose additional penalties.

Although it was an away game, because the opponent was only a fifth-level team, commonly known as an amateur team, Chen Ran did not send out all the main lineup.

In addition to captain Southgate being sent to sit on the field, players who had few chances to play before also got the chance to play in this game.

As Chen Ran expected, the competition went very smoothly.

At the end of the first half, Crystal Palace took a three-goal lead.

Starting striker Peter Crouch scored two goals with a head kick, and central defender Thiago Silva also scored his first goal on behalf of Crystal Palace in a corner kick.

During the intermission, Chen Ran even replaced Southgate and Vidic, and sent Fabregas and Pepe.

Fabregas' debut also allowed him to create the record for the youngest player in the history of the Crystal Palace club.

Cesc Fabregas, who represented the Crystal Palace for the first time, did not disappoint Chen Ran's expectations.Receive the ball, pass the ball, organize, and dispatch the ball in a rigorous manner, looking decent, and there is no sense of tension.

He sorted out Crystal Palace's midfield more smoothly than in the first half, and also sent Crouch an assist, just like a midfield commander.

This also allowed Fabregas to also create the record for the youngest assist player in the history of the Crystal Palace club.

In the end, with the help of Crouch's hat-trick, Crystal Palace eliminated Torquay United 4-0 away.

Because it was a League Cup match, Chen Ran only earned 50 euros this time.

As the leaders of the Championship, it is no surprise to win against an amateur team.

But Fabregas' performance surprised many people. Is this really just a 16-year-old player?
"Boss, you have discovered another genius."

"That's right, the key is that it's really rare to be so mature and steady at the age of 16."

Southgate and Simeone both marveled at Cesc Fabregas' performance.

When Chen Ran replaced Fabregas for Southgate at halftime, Southgate and Simeone were a little worried. They felt that the field was full of young people, and they always felt uneasy without veterans.

What's more, Fabregas, who is in charge of scheduling and organizing in the midfield, is the youngest in the game and represents the Crystal Palace for the first time.

Now, the two of them are completely speechless.

Chen Ran was brave enough to employ people, and Fabregas also repaid Chen Ran with his own performance.

Although the opponent is only a fifth-tier team, it is a good start after all.

Perhaps, Cesc Fabregas can really replace the vacancy left by Josep?
Southgate and Simeone couldn't help thinking this in their hearts.
