Seeing such a big gap in front of him, how could Alves remember to cross?

As a Brazilian player, everyone has a dream of playing forward.

Alves directly took the ball and drove into Charlton's penalty area.

Charlton's center back Johansson hurriedly came over to cover the defense. Alves dunked with his left foot, dodged Johansson, and followed up with a volley with his right foot.

"boom!"

The ball flew very fast and close to the ground.

Charlton goalkeeper Anderson was a little slow to get down, and the ball passed through the wicket between his legs and went directly into Charlton's goal.

"Goal..."

Crystal Palace leads Charlton 1:0 at home.

This is Alves' first goal after joining Crystal Palace, and also his first goal after landing in the Premier League.

After coming to Crystal Palace this season, Alves didn't have many playing opportunities. He was so excited that he took off his shirt and celebrated wildly. As a result, he also received his first yellow card since joining Crystal Palace.

After scoring the first goal, Crystal Palace played more confidently in the following games.

Shortly after, Alves was seen scoring.

Evra, who also joined Crystal Palace this season, was not to be outdone and sent a very high-quality assist to Toni, helping Toni score with a header.

Crystal Palace leads Charlton 2:0.

Before halftime, Modric took a free kick and assisted Vidic to score the third goal.

By the time the referee blew the halftime whistle, Crystal Palace already led Charlton 3-0.

Such a strong performance also amazed the reporters in the stands.

"Crystal Palace's attack power is getting stronger and stronger now, Charlton simply can't defend it."

"Yeah, is this what Crystal Palace looks like with all its firepower? I guess there aren't many teams in the entire Premier League that can stop it."

"If we continue playing like this, it seems that the Premier League champion this season will most likely be Crystal Palace."

"That's not necessarily true. The winter transfer period is about to begin, and maybe some interesting things will happen."

"Huh? What? Do you have any inside information?"

"Ahem, this matter is still in the secret operation stage. You have to keep it a secret for me."

"Don't worry. We are all our own, and it will never be spread."

"According to one of my insiders, two wealthy clubs are poaching Crystal Palace players."

"Hey! This is big news. Do you have any details?"

"Ahem, I spent a lot of money to get this news."

"I understand. My brothers won't let you suffer. Just tell me how much it is, but don't be too shady."

...

In the second half of the game, even though Chen Ran was replaced as a substitute, Cristiano Ronaldo still scored a long shot for Crystal Palace.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Crystal Palace beat Charlton 4-0 at home.

Winning sixteen consecutive Premier League victories also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of 2 million euros.

In other games in this round, Chelsea also defeated Newcastle United 4-0 at home.

Arsenal beat Birmingham 3-0 at home, and Manchester United also beat Southampton 3-0 at home.

Among the strong teams, only Liverpool overturned and was tied 1:1 by Aston Villa in the away game.

After the sixteenth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace topped the standings with a record of sixteen consecutive wins and 48 points.

Chelsea has 12 wins, two draws and two losses, accumulating 38 points and continues to rank second.

Arsenal ranked third with 33 points from ten wins, three draws and two losses.

Thousands of miles away in China, as long as the media reports on the Premier League, no matter how big or small, Crystal Palace is a name that must be mentioned.

Sports channels in particular put Crystal Palace in the most important position every time they broadcast information about a Premier League game, seemingly surpassing the treatment given to the established giants Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

This time, the Crystal Palace's reputation in the country increased day by day.

The most intuitive benefit is that domestic manufacturers have now begun to take the initiative to approach Crystal Palace to inquire about advertising sponsorship.

"Chen, there is a computer company from China that wants to sponsor our Crystal Palace jersey chest advertisement. Are you interested?"

As soon as Chen Ran arrived at the office, Stephen came over.

"Oh? Which company is it?"

Chen Ran was stunned for a moment. Do domestic companies have such a keen sense of smell?

This shows that Crystal Palace has great hope of winning the Premier League championship this season and is ready to take advantage of it in advance.

"The name of this company is Dream. I think many people around the world should know the name of this Chinese computer company now."

"Just yesterday, this company announced that it had reached an acquisition agreement with IBM. It will acquire IBM's personal computer division for US$1.25 billion."

It turned out to be that company.

As soon as he heard about the acquisition of IBM's personal computer division, Chen Ran immediately understood who Stephen was talking about.

Although this company has a lot of flaws, since it’s here to give you money, don’t give it for free. Let’s take a look at their bid first.

“Has this company made a quote?”

"Sign up, five years of jersey chest advertising, five million euros per year."

"Only five million euros? How petty."

Chen Ran curled his lips, he really wanted to pick up some bargains.

"Chen, five million euros is actually a lot. The contract between Manchester United and Vodafone is only 7.5 million euros per year."

Stephen was afraid that Chen Ran didn't understand the market conditions, so he went out of his way to explain it.

"Stephen, you can't look at things this way. The contract between Manchester United and Vodafone started in 2001. Can the price three years ago be compared with now? Do you believe it or not, if Manchester United talks about the contract now, it will cost at least one thousand

Starting from 10,000 euros.”

"Chen, how much do you want?"

After listening to Chen Ran's analysis, Stephen also felt that it made sense.

There is no way. As a native of England, I have been left with a deep-rooted impression since childhood that small clubs like Crystal Palace are inferior and cannot be compared with giant clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

"Go and ask the people at Dream Company if they are interested in signing a floating jersey advertising sponsorship contract with Crystal Palace."

"Floating jersey advertising sponsorship contract? Chen, do you want to link the sponsorship amount to Crystal Palace's performance?"

Stephen's mind is so smart. With a little push from Chen Ran, he immediately understood what Chen Ran meant.

"That's right."

"But, will this put too much pressure on you? In fact, it's not bad to get a five million euro contract safely."

Stephen looked at Chen Ran worriedly.

"Haha, Stephen, don't worry. I have a sense of discretion in my heart, and I won't show off for things I can't do."

"That's good, you just have to have an idea. I'll contact Dream Company now and tell them your idea."

Chen Ran is very confident whether the Dream Company will accept his proposal.

Although this company has many shortcomings, it must be said that the acquisition of IBM's personal computer division has allowed Dream Company to move from a local Chinese computer brand to the world stage in one fell swoop.

Prior to this, 97% of the sales of Dream Company's products came from China, and its share of the global computer market was pitifully low.

Now, if the dream company wants to seize the global market, building awareness is what it must do.

Otherwise, if no one has heard of your brand, how can they buy your products?

The acquisition of IBM's personal computer division was their first move.

From the effect point of view, it is very good and very shocking.

However, this is just a one-time event after all.

As time goes by, the influence of this event will rapidly decrease until it is forgotten by people.

Therefore, Dream Company urgently needs a long-term display platform that can continuously let the world see its own brand.

Therefore, football, as the world's largest sport, entered the vision of the management of Dream Company.

In the field of football, the Premier League, which has the greatest influence, the best marketing and promotion, and the widest broadcast market, has become the first choice of Dream Company.

After layers of screening, Crystal Palace, as a newly promoted team in the Premier League, has suddenly emerged this season and has great hope of winning the championship. It has become the target selected by the management of Dream Company.

After all, compared to wealthy clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, the cost of sponsoring Crystal Palace should be much lower.

At least, that's what Dream Company's management thinks.

Unfortunately, they met Chen Ran.

After sending Stephen away, Chen Ran turned his energy back to the team.

Because, next we have to play three games a week.

On December 11, the seventeenth round of the Premier League begins, and Crystal Palace will face Blackburn at home.

On December 16, the final match of the UEFA Cup group stage will be played. Crystal Palace will face Partizan Belgrade from Serbia at home.

On December 18, just one day apart, in the eighteenth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.

Looking at the speechless schedule, Chen Ran knew that he had to make a choice again.

The last time Crystal Palace played against Manchester United in the League Cup, Chen Ran chose to give up.

But this time it is the Premier League. If I give up the game against Manchester United again, people may think that I am afraid of Ferguson.

Therefore, if we want to compete head-on with Manchester United, then in the UEFA Cup game before this game, we can only send substitute players on.

Fortunately, Crystal Palace has won three consecutive games in the first three UEFA Cup group matches.

Even if Partizan Belgrade is not defeated in the last game, it will not affect Crystal Palace's promotion.

However, the prize money for winning a UEFA Cup game is a full 2.5 million euros. When he thinks that he may lose these 2.5 million euros, Chen Ran is so heartbroken that he can't breathe.

Blackburn has not made any big moves this season. In the summer, they only introduced midfielder De Pedro from Real Sociedad, forward Dickov from Leicester City, and defender Ma from Leeds United.

Theo, and midfielder Pedersen was bought from Trumso.

Except for forward Bellamy, who makes Chen Ran a little afraid of the entire team, goalkeeper Friedel is a familiar face.

Moreover, Blackburn's performance this season has been very poor and is now ranked fourth from the bottom in the Premier League.

With only one point more than the relegation zone, it could be dragged down by Southampton and Norwich behind at any time.

Facing such a weak team, Chen Ran naturally would not hold back. He adopted Guardiola's tactics and sent out the entire main lineup.

center toney

Left midfielder Ronaldo, attacking midfielder Modric, right midfielder Franck Ribery

Defensive midfielder Cesc Fabregas, defensive midfielder Simeone

Left back Chiellini, center back Thiago Silva, center back Vidic, right back Maicon

Cech

As soon as the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Crystal Palace immediately suppressed Blackburn within half-time.

Just eighteen minutes into the first half, Ronaldo assisted Toni to open the scoring with his sharp breakthrough.

In the 32nd minute, Toni reciprocated with a header, which also helped Ronaldo score a single goal.

In the second half, Yaya Toure, who came on as a substitute, also received a corner kick from Cesc Fabregas and scored the third goal with a header that sealed the victory.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Crystal Palace calmly defeated Blackburn Rovers at home with a score of 3:0.

While it was a good start for the three games this week, it also brought Chen Ran a winning bonus of 2 million euros.

Among other Premier League games in this round, there is another highlight that attracts much attention, that is Arsenal facing Chelsea at home.

This game was played one day later than the Crystal Palace game. Arsenal was also in London. Chen Ran even wanted to watch the game live.

Later, I considered that I was too conspicuous now and would easily get beaten up when I appeared in the venue of two competitors, so I finally had to give up the idea of ​​going to watch the game live.

However, Chen Ran still watched the game on time with Cheryl in his arms at home. While watching, he was still cursing in his mouth that the two teams were tied.

"Honey, what are you talking about?"

Hearing Chen Ran's thoughts, Cheryl also curiously came over to ask.

"It's nothing, I just hope this game can be a draw."

"Haha, dear, Crystal Palace is now ten points ahead of Chelsea, do you still care about them?"

"Haha, of course the bigger the advantage, the better."

As Crystal Palace continues to win, Crystal Palace looks like it will become an emerging giant.

As the girlfriend of the owner of the Crystal Palace Club, Cheryl's status in the company has naturally increased.

The people who dared to flirt with her back then are now obediently keeping themselves low.

Therefore, Cheryl, who originally had no interest in football, certainly hopes that Crystal Palace's results will get better and better.

"That's easy, dear, let's curse Arsenal for a draw with Chelsea."

After saying that, Cheryl simply squeezed into Chen Ran's arms, and the two of them wanted to become one.

This is a shitty game.

...

When Chen Ran returned to the TV again, the game was already over.

Chen Ran had no choice but to pick up his phone and check the results of the competition.

Unexpectedly, he and Cheryl's curse actually worked!
Chapter completed!
