Chapter 103 The pressure is huge(2/2)
Watching the match report between Crystal Palace and Chelsea, Wenger was also filled with emotion.
Today's young people are more powerful than the last.
This game was played one day earlier than Arsenal's game, so Wenger watched the entire game on TV.
From the beginning of the first half, Chen Ran made arrangements for Robben, and later Mourinho lured Crystal Palace into attacking by retreating, but Chen Ran was not fooled.
In the second half, Mourinho made several adjustments, but Chen Ran cracked them one by one.
Even at the end of the game, Mourinho and Chen Ran used hysterical and crazy tactics.
Wenger was so impressed by the shooting, it felt like watching a movie with ups and downs.
Mourinho has two trophies, the UEFA Cup and the European Champions Cup, in his hands, so there is no doubt about his ability.
But that little guy from China who he had interacted with several times kept surprising him.
Compared with last year's League Cup match, Wenger can clearly feel it.
Under Chen Ran's training, Crystal Palace's combat effectiveness has become stronger than last season.
Especially his playing temperament has obviously reached a new level.
It is very rare to not panic when encountering difficulties.
Thinking of this, Wenger drew a circle on the name of Crystal Palace.
Now only Crystal Palace and Arsenal have maintained unbeatable victories, and this season's Premier League championship is likely to be won between these two teams.
"Isn't it too early to draw this conclusion now?"
Wenger murmured to himself.
Immediately, he laughed out loud. He didn't expect that he would attach so much importance to this little guy from China.
In Manchester, more than 300 kilometers away from London, at the Manchester United Club, Sir Alex Ferguson was losing his temper.
The new season started poorly. Not only did Manchester United lose to upstart Chelsea, they even failed to win against Everton.
After three rounds of games, Manchester United is already five points behind their old rival Arsenal.
Even the newly promoted team Crystal Palace has now climbed to the top of the Premier League standings. This is the most intolerable thing for Ferguson.
Can any cat or dog dominate the Premier League now?
Arsenal snatched the Premier League title last season, and Ferguson is holding back his desire to snatch it back this season.
Now Arsenal is still performing strongly, and Crystal Palace has emerged.
Ferguson still remembers when Chen Ran snatched Ronaldo from Manchester United last summer. It would be fine if Crystal Palace stayed in the English Championship.
Now that we are in the Premier League and ranked ahead of Manchester United, let's settle the old and new grudges together.
Thinking of this, Ferguson also took a pen and drew a heavy circle on the name of Crystal Palace, turned around and explained to his assistant Queiroz.
"Carlos, please pay close attention to the situation of Crystal Palace recently. This team is likely to be our new championship opponent this season."
"Alex, in the past, promoted teams often performed well in the early stages of the league, but they would basically fall behind soon. Are you paying too much attention to this Crystal Palace?"
"This time is different. I have a hunch that this Crystal Palace is likely to be our new trouble this season."
...
The Crystal Palace side is winning consecutive games in the Premier League, while on the other side, Chen Ran sent Stephen to talk about the new stadium loan that has been discussed for a long time, and finally has some clues.
According to Chen Ran's requirements, the capacity of the new stadium is set at 60,000, and the possibility of expansion and upgrade must be retained.
The hired professional agency estimates that the total budget for the construction of the even-purchase zone is about 300 million euros.
Of course, in most cases, this budget will most likely be overrun in the end.
So after Chen Ran discussed with Stephen and others, they negotiated with the bank for a loan amount of 200 million euros.
It's a pity that after Stephen talked for a while, they didn't reach a conclusion.
Because those banks thought it was a bit unreliable that Crystal Palace, a newly promoted team from the Premier League, suddenly proposed to build a new stadium with a capacity of 60,000 people.
You must know that even for Premier League giants like Manchester United and Arsenal, their home stadium capacity is only more than 60,000 people.
Liverpool's Anfield Stadium can only accommodate 54,000 people.
You, a small Crystal Palace, have just been promoted to the Premier League and have to build a new stadium with a capacity of 60,000 people. Is there something fishy in this?
What's more, the Chinese man still has a loan of 30 million euros that has not been repaid.
Although Stephen has repeatedly emphasized that half of the construction funds will be provided by Chen Ran.
However, when things go out of the ordinary, there must be monsters, and the British also understand this truth.
They didn't say no, they just put forward a lot of harsh conditions.
Either the interest rate is too high, or there are too many additional conditions. In any case, these are conditions that Chen Ran absolutely cannot accept.
The negotiations reached a deadlock for a time.
However, as Crystal Palace got off to a three-game winning streak in the Premier League, it surprisingly overcame many giant clubs to occupy the top spot in the standings.
The attitude of the banks has also become looser.
After all, as long as the results are good enough, not to mention winning the championship, just qualifying for the Champions League is a huge amount of income.
With this income backing, banks have the courage to lend.
Negotiations between Crystal Palace and various banks have finally made substantial progress.
"Chen, this is the current situation. The main reason is that they have doubts about your identity as a Chinese. If you were a British person, there wouldn't be so much trouble."
"How about Chen, how about you become a British citizen? Based on your conditions, it can be done quickly through my connections."
Stephen gave Chen Ran an idea.
In fact, this idea did not come to Stephen, but someone reminded him.
"Absolutely impossible. In order to build a stadium, I have to change my nationality. Then I would rather not build this stadium."
Chen Ran decisively shook his head and refused. This is all a bad idea.
"Then it all depends on your performance as a team leader. Crystal Palace must at least get a Champions League spot this season. Anyway, the better the team's record is, the better conditions I can get at the negotiation table."
Stephen spread his hands. Since Chen Ran was unwilling to take shortcuts, he could only rely on the results of the competition.
"knew."
Chen Ran nodded helplessly, especially building a stadium must be linked to the team's performance.
Chapter completed!
