The following game was calm. Although Arsenal headed by Adebayo in injury time, the referee also blew the whistle to the end of the game.

In the end, Crystal Palace defeated Arsenal 3:2 away with goals from Yin Brasimovic, Alves and Ronaldo.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Quasi-Center Card" from the system.

In other Premier League games in this round, in addition to Crystal Palace against Arsenal, there is also a strong dialogue, that is, Manchester United go to Anfield to challenge their rival Liverpool.

As a result, Liverpool's performance in the league was still as weak as ever, losing 0-1 to his arch-rival Manchester United at home.

In another game, Chelsea defeated Portsmouth 2-0 away, and together with Manchester United, they still kept chewing on Crystal Palace.

Four days later, the second round of the Champions League, which was sixteen to eight, was about to begin again.

Because Crystal Palace scored 4:1 in the away game in the first round, this time when returning to the home game, Chen Ran could calmly rotate the lineup, allowing players who played against Arsenal to get the game.

Time to rest.

In the end, with the goals of Jan Kohler and Modric, Crystal Palace drew 2:2 with the visiting Eindhoven at home, eliminating the opponent with a total score of 6:3 and advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

In other games, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea eliminated their opponents respectively and advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals like Crystal Palace.

This time, among the quarterfinals of this Champions League, there are four clubs from the Premier League. The Premier League's position as the world's No. 1 league is becoming more and more stable.

"Chan, there is a new situation about beverage sponsorship."

Seeing Stephen excitedly walking into his office, Chen Ran felt a little moved, and it seemed that there was good news again.

"What's wrong? Is there a new funder offer?"

Chen Ran asked casually jokingly.

"Huh? How did you know?"

Stephen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Could it be that the other party contacted Chen Ran directly?

"It's true? I just said it casually."

"There is indeed. Red Bull Group didn't know where to get the news. It was known that Gatorade was preparing to sponsor our club. So they also sent us a quote, which was more favorable than Gatorade's."

"Oh? Tell me carefully."

As soon as he heard that the conditions were more favorable than Gatorade, Chen Ran's interest immediately aroused.

“A three-year contract exclusively sponsored by sports drinks, 12 million euros per year.”

"This condition is clearly for Gatorade. It seems that Red Bull has nails at Gatorade."

Red Bull Group's quotation is just the same as Gatorade in all aspects. If Red Bull Group does not understand Gatorade's quotation, no one will believe it.

"It should be. But this situation is normal. Commercial spies are too common now."

Stephen shrugged, saying that this was expected.

"Red Bull Group has also acquired the football club itself. How could it be that I remembered to sponsor us this time?"

"I guess they were stimulated by Gatorade. After all, the clubs acquired by Red Bull Group have not achieved any results yet, and the advertising effect is limited. They are afraid that Gatorade will seize their market with the reputation of our Crystal Palace."

Stephen obviously did his homework, and immediately gave an answer to Chen Ran's question.

"But that's good. Gatorade and Red Bull compete, we will benefit, I like it."

"Stephen, tell Gatorade about the Red Bull Group's offer. Ask them if they follow or not. If they don't follow, then we will sign a contract with Red Bull."

"Okay. Chen, should I send a copy of Coca-Cola? Since the Galaxy Football Group incident came out, they have not made any noise."

"Not to worry about Coca-Cola. Gatorade and Red Bull are direct competitors. If they really make a fuss, we can get the most profit."

"Understood."

Just as Stephen reported the offer to Chen Ran to Chen Ran, at the headquarters of the Austrian Red Bull, the boss Dietrich Matthiz was listening to discussions with his subordinates about Chen Ran, Crystal Palace Club and Galaxy Football Group.

Originally, this was just to fight Gatorade and sponsor the ordinary business behavior of Crystal Palace Club.
