Speaking of Kevin Keegan, he is truly a gentleman.

If you say pretend to be dead, pretend to be dead, never pretend to be dead.

Until the end of the game, the situation on the field did not change.

Except for the difference between the 1:0 score on the scoreboard and the first half, it was as if Crystal Palace's ten-minute offensive had never happened.

In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Manchester City at home with a score of 1:0 thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's shovel shot.

While the team continued its winning streak, Chen Ran also received a winning bonus of 2 million euros.

Thousands of miles away in China, fans expressed their admiration for Chen Ran's sexy moves.

"Chen Ran's performance in this game was so outrageous. This is the first time I've seen a coach change formations for only ten minutes."

"Haha, that's pretty cool. If I were Kevin Keegan, I would probably be pissed to death."

"To be honest, except for the ten minutes when the Crystal Palace changed formations, I almost fell asleep watching the rest of the time."

"Yes, I almost fell asleep. But it would be great if Crystal Palace could win. After all, it is too difficult to maintain a complete victory in the Premier League. I don't know how long it can last."

"Arsenal couldn't hold on any longer this round and failed to win the game. Now Crystal Palace can legitimately be at the top of the Premier League standings."

"Arsenal won three or four goals in every game before. It was so crazy. I thought at the time that this state could not last forever. Now I am right."

"I think Chen Ran's approach is quite good. Playing like this saves energy. I checked the Crystal Palace schedule and there are double matches in a week. I guess Chen Ran has no way to deal with this schedule."

"It's just that there are too many competitions in the UK, and most people really can't resist them."

...

In addition to Crystal Palace winning, what makes Chen Ran most happy is that Arsenal, who have won consecutive big scores, finally stopped in this round and was tied 2:2 by Bolton at their home court.

This allowed Crystal Palace to overtake Arsenal with six consecutive victories and occupy the top spot in the Premier League standings.

Among other matches in the sixth round of the Premier League, there is another highlight that has attracted many people's attention, and that is the "double red club" between Manchester United and Liverpool at home.

Although since the beginning of this season, the records of these two veteran teams have been relatively average.

But the collision between the two of them has never lacked attention.

Before the start of the game, Manchester United was ranked 13th and Liverpool was ranked 10th. It can be said that they are brothers and sisters.

In the end, Ferguson led Manchester United to beat Liverpool 2:1 at home, stepping on the head of their old enemy. Manchester United overtook Liverpool and rose to ninth place.

Chelsea also did not win in this round. They were tied 0:0 by Tottenham Hotspur at home.

After the end of this round of games, Crystal Palace ranked first with 18 points from six games, Arsenal ranked second with 16 points from five wins, one draw, and Chelsea ranked third with 13 points from four wins, one draw, and one loss.

Allardyce, who played against Chen Ran last season, has now led Bolton to score 11 points in the first six rounds, ranking fourth in the Premier League.

Followed closely by Tottenham Hotspur and Everton.

London, Chelsea Club.

Mourinho appeared in the office of Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon.

Peter Kenyon was the CEO specially poached from Manchester United after Abramovich took over Chelsea.

In addition to being responsible for Chelsea's operations and management, he is also responsible for player transfer operations.

When it comes to player transfers, friction with Mendes is inevitable.

After using Mourinho as a stepping stone to knock on Chelsea's door, Mendes certainly hopes that Chelsea will introduce more of his players.

In addition, Chelsea's new owner Abramovich is a well-known Russian rich man, and he is willing to spend money when he has money, which makes Mendes salivate for Chelsea's big fat piece.

But with the presence of Peter Kenyon, Mendes's wishful thinking was often greatly compromised, which also made the relationship between the two not very good.

Mourinho, who has a close relationship with Mendes, rarely interacts with Peter Kenyon except for work interactions in order to avoid suspicion.

Therefore, Peter Kenyon was also very surprised to see Mourinho take the initiative to come to his office today.

"José, you rarely come to my place. What, is there something going on today?"

Peter Kenyon looked at Mourinho curiously, and he also wanted to know the answer.

"Peter, I came to you today to talk about the winter transfer."

Mourinho took a sip of coffee with a stiff expression.

"Winter transfer?"

Upon hearing these four words, Peter Kenyon suddenly had countless thoughts in his mind.

It's only the end of September, which is still early for the winter transfer period.

Of course, some difficult transfers require a long time to prepare, and this is not uncommon.

Is it very difficult for Mourinho to have his sights on any big-name star?

No, even if Mourinho wanted to discuss this matter with someone, he would go to Mendes. Why would he come to me?

Did he and Mendes have a falling out?

Although there was only a brief pause for a few seconds, Peter Kenyon's mind was spinning rapidly and he immediately thought of a possibility.

However, he still needs to test it again.

"José, regarding transfer matters, you should go to Mendes. He is an expert in this field."

"Well...this transfer may not be suitable for Jorge to participate."

After hesitating for a moment, Mourinho said it directly.

"It's not appropriate for Mendes to participate? Can I know why?"

Hearing this, Peter Kenyon suddenly became excited, and he was now becoming more and more interested in this matter.

You must know that Mendes is sandwiched between him and Mourinho, which makes Peter Kenyon's job more complicated.

As long as transfer matters are involved, Mendes always wants to shift his recruitment targets to his players.

Although Mourinho did not completely side with Mendes, due to Mourinho's relationship, Peter Kenyon had to consider Mendes's opinion.

Peter Kenyon is the CEO that Abramovich hired from Manchester United at a huge price. Of course, he must put the interests of Chelsea Club first.

After going back and forth, after rejecting Mendes' transfer proposals several times, there was only superficiality between the two of them.

Now that Mourinho and Mendes are showing signs of estrangement, Peter Kenyon is very restrained if he doesn't laugh on the spot.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't come to you."

Now that he is here, Mourinho will no longer be secretive.

So he told Peter Kenyon that Mendes had a good relationship with Chen Ran and had always wanted to cooperate with Chen Ran. Then the target of his recruitment happened to be Crystal Palace players.

"Crystal Palace? I heard that many people have been eyeing this fat sheep recently."

When Peter Kenyon heard the name of Crystal Palace, instead of expressing surprise, he burst into laughter.

"Oh? Peter, did you hear anything else?"

Mourinho raised his eyebrows and looked at Peter Kenyon with some surprise.

"Ahem, José, you also know that I used to work at Manchester United. I heard from my former friends that Ferguson was also eyeing Crystal Palace players."

Peter Kenyon coughed to cover up the embarrassment of spilling the beans.

Although he switched jobs from Manchester United to Chelsea, as one of Chelsea's main rivals for the Premier League championship, Peter Kenyon also left an informant at Manchester United so that he could keep track of Manchester United's situation at all times.

"Manchester United?"

Mourinho couldn't help but frowned when he heard the name.

Although Abramovich is rich and willing to spend money, Mourinho understands that some players cannot be impressed by money alone.

Chelsea today is far from the wealthy team that will win the Premier League and Champions League titles in later generations.

Whether in the eyes of the English media or fans, Chelsea is now an out-and-out upstart.

In addition to being rich, the reputation is not even as good as Chen Ran's Crystal Palace.

If he and Ferguson are interested in the same Crystal Palace player, Mourinho is really not sure that he can steal the player from Manchester United.

"Peter, it seems we have to speed up and make a move before Manchester United. Otherwise, if we wait until Manchester United enters the market, we will have no advantage except money."

"I see."

Peter Kenyon nodded in agreement.

He comes from Manchester United, so he naturally knows the attraction of this old and wealthy club to players, and sometimes it can really defeat the temptation of money.

"Then José, please give me a list of signings, and I will follow up on this matter personally."

"Already prepared."

Before he finished speaking, Mourinho took out a signing list from his bag and handed it to Peter Kenyon.

"so much?"

When Peter Kenyon took his first look, he was shocked by the contents of the list.

Mourinho, are you recruiting?
