Chapter 19 Public Opinion War

That night, public opinion exploded.

An originally unremarkable press conference suddenly became the focus of TV and the Internet that night.

Keywords such as Chen Ran, Simeone and Crystal Palace appear repeatedly in various TV programs and major online communities.

"Boss, I've caused trouble for you."

Although Simeone didn't think he had done anything wrong, Chen Ran was now being targeted in order to speak for him, which made him feel grateful and guilty.

"It's okay, this was never your fault in the first place."

Chen Ran patted Simone on the shoulder and comforted him.

In fact, before introducing Simeone, he had already anticipated that a situation similar to today would arise, and he had prepared several countermeasures for this.

Now it seems that it is time to open the third bag.

"Stephen, doesn't Sky TV want to give me an exclusive interview? Tell them that I will be available for an exclusive interview tomorrow."

"What? Tomorrow?"

Stephen was surprised. Chen Ran is now on the cusp of the storm. Is this the right time?

"Yes, it's tomorrow. Now is the time when my enthusiasm is at its highest, and some words are most effective when I say them."

"you sure?"

"Sure."

After explaining to Stephen, Chen Ran looked at Simone again.

"Diego, you haven't gone anywhere except the training base in the past few days. The British paparazzi are very powerful, I guess you have been targeted by them now."

"Don't worry, boss. I know what to do. I can also use this time to design a play style for the team."

Simone nodded. He knew Chen Ran's intentions very well. He was not a young boy, so he could still distinguish priorities.

"Josep, please spend more time with Diego these days. You two are similar in age, both have just arrived in London, and both speak Spanish, so you can take care of each other."

"Okay, boss."

"Gareth, I will leave the team's locker room to you. This time there is a big change between the old and the new, and we must pay special attention to the relationship between the new players and the old players."

"Don't worry, boss, leave the dressing room to me. I have experience in this area."

It was late at night, and after Cheryl fell asleep after being fed, Chen Ran quietly came to the study.

Lighting a cigarette, he began to take stock of his plan to see if there were any omissions.

The introduction of Simeone may bring big trouble to himself, which Chen Ran had expected.

But why does he still want to win Simeone?

In fact, Chen Ran's goal is not only for the Crystal Palace, but also for the future national football team.

Even in 2022, the national football team still has not found a style of play that suits them.

Either you fight against others and are violently tortured;

Or you just defend but don't fight back, and get killed.

In Chen Ran's view, Simeone's defensive counterattack tactics led by Atletico Madrid are the most suitable for the national football team.

If we only talk about the results of coaching the team, then Guardiola is obviously above Simeone.

But can Guardiola's passing and controlling players in French football be able to play?

Chen Ran even thought about it with his buttocks and knew it was impossible.

Among the opponents in Asia, including Japan, South Korea, Iran, Australia, and Saudi Arabia, which one is not stronger than the national football team?

Under the terrifying shadow of Barcelona and Real Madrid, Simeone was able to lead Atletico Madrid to steal the La Liga championship at regular intervals, which is enough to show that Simeone's tactics are extremely practical and he is particularly good at defeating the strong with the weak.

However, if things develop normally, the possibility of Simeone coaching the national football team is almost zero.

For some people, money can seduce them; but for some people, money alone cannot seduce them.

So, Chen Ran took action.

Even though he might have to pay a high price, he decided to take action.

Although Chen Ran also wants to personally lead the national football team to the World Cup, but who knows if he has the talent to be a coach after his rebirth?

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

In order to realize your ideal, there is no harm in preparing two sets of plans.

In this way, many things need to be prepared in advance, and it is too late to improvise.

The more difficult Simeone's current situation is, the more valuable his attitude of supporting him becomes, and the greater the favor he owes himself.

If Simeone can be made to owe him a big favor, and then supplemented with a generous salary, both ways, maybe he can be lured to coach the national football team.

Therefore, Chen Ran has already prepared a draft for tomorrow’s exclusive interview with Sky TV.

Apologizing for Simeone and seizing the moral high ground is the most important core.

Early the next morning, Sky TV kept previewing the exclusive interview with Chen Ran in the program.

The interview was conducted live, with no editing throughout.

Moreover, Sky TV sent their leading actress Christy Gallagher for an interview.

This immediately attracted the attention of countless English people, even if they were not football fans.

When he learned that the person interviewing him was Kirsty Gallagher, Chen Ran immediately felt certain. It seemed that Sky TV did not want to make the matter a big deal.

Kirsty Gallagher is known for her light and gentle hosting style, which is unique in the field of football hosting that is dominated by men. Coupled with her beautiful appearance and good figure, Sky TV has attracted many viewers who are not fans.

.

The interview started with Kirsty Gallagher's usual light and gentle hosting style. She asked Chen Ran about the process of joining Crystal Palace, the club's plans, the signings for the new season, etc., as if everything was peaceful.

.

But not long after, Kirsty Gallagher seemed to feel that the heat was almost over, so she changed the subject and revealed her sharp fangs.

"Mr. Chen, do you know what happened between David Beckham and Diego Simeone?"

"Know."

As soon as he heard this question, Chen Ran immediately realized that the highlight of the day was coming.

"Then why did you bring in Simeone?"

"I think that was all five years ago, so it shouldn't have any impact."

"But this is obviously not the case. England was eliminated from the 1998 World Cup because of Beckham's red card. Many English fans still can't let go."

"I believe Mr. Beckham has fully realized the mistakes he made. After all, he was still young at the time. It is understandable that young people can sometimes be a little impulsive."

"Mr. Chen, many British fans believe that Simeone caused Beckham's red card."

"Oh? Is that so? I'm sorry, in 1998 I was just an ordinary fan, watching the game in front of the TV like everyone else. Judging from the TV pictures at the time, this was a very common violation.

Are there any details about the revenge action that were not broadcast on TV?"

"Well...that's not true."

"That's good. In fact, the reason why I am willing to accept an exclusive interview with Sky TV today is because I want to use your platform to express my inner thoughts. Is that okay, Jisti?"

"Of course, please tell me, Mr. Chen."

"As everyone knows, I come from a country where football is underdeveloped. I was unable to enter the World Cup finals for many years before."

"Every time I am eliminated from the World Cup preliminaries, I will scold the players who made mistakes and the stupid coaches like everyone else."

"But when the next World Cup preliminaries begin, I will return to the TV to cheer for the team. Even if the player who made the mistake before is still on the team, I will still cheer for him."

"My country finally made it to the World Cup last year. Although we lost all three games, I was still very happy because we had made history."

"So, since I love football, I decided to do something. So, I came to the birthplace of modern football and bought Crystal Palace Club."

"In my opinion, the Premier League is the best football league in the world. It is open, inclusive and able to attract outstanding players from all over the world."

"Here, I implore everyone to forget the past, look to the future, and let what happens on the football field stay on the football field."
