London, Chelsea Club, in the CEO's office, Peter Kenyon and Ancelotti were relatively speechless.

"Peter, haven't the FA always had no response before? Why are they suddenly making such a big move now?"

Ancelotti looked at Peter Kenyon with a puzzled look. Everything was going very smoothly, but everything changed overnight.

"According to the information I received, one is because the matter is getting bigger and bigger, and the Football Association is worried that it will have a negative impact on the image of the Premier League, thereby hindering their promotion to the world."

"The other thing is that Ferguson lobbied the top management of the Football Association, prompting them to quickly stop all this."

After all, Peter Kenyon is a veteran who has been involved in English football for many years. He once served as the CEO of Manchester United. He has broad connections and is well-informed.

"Ferguson? This is a matter between Chelsea and Crystal Palace. What does it have to do with him? Besides, if Crystal Palace loses, is it also a good thing for Manchester United?"

Ancelotti couldn't figure out why Ferguson would do this. Isn't this hurting others but not benefiting oneself?

"Ahem, I don't know this either. I'm afraid only Ferguson himself knows the specific reason."

Peter Kenyon smiled bitterly and shook his head. His connections were not omnipotent, and he could not find out some secrets that only a few people knew.

"Peter, it seems we can only rely on ourselves."

After a long time, Ancelotti sighed and worked hard for a long time, but in the end he did nothing.

"That's all. Carlo, the rest of the game depends entirely on you."

Peter Kenyon was a little helpless and frustrated. After all, his arms could not hold his thighs.

...

Manchester, Manchester United, manager Sir Alex Ferguson's office.

"Sir Ferguson, it's better if you take action and suppress those clowns jumping around in one fell swoop."

Ed Woodward truly admires Ferguson this time. Sir Alex Ferguson's status and energy in English football are no joke.

Ferguson himself was not in a high mood and had no reaction to Ed Woodward's flattery.

As this matter has developed so far, he has certainly blocked the possibility of Beckham joining his arch-rival Liverpool. But the one who has benefited the most is, after all, the Chinese Crystal Palace.

Ferguson knew very well that he was just used as a gun by Chen Ran.

What's there to be happy about?

...

At the Liverpool Club, sporting director Antero Enrique and head coach Frank Rijkaard were once again called to the chairman's office.

"Antero, how did the Crystal Palace Club respond?"

Nasser Al-Khelaifi was not in a good mood either.

As soon as the FA's ban came out, he immediately asked Antero Enrique to contact Crystal Palace, hoping to maintain the transfer of Beckham.

"Mr. Chairman, Crystal Palace said that because of the FA's words, they have no choice but to cancel the previously agreed deal."

Antero Enrique responded to Nasser Al-Khelaifi with a helpless look.

This well-designed plan was forced to terminate, and Antero Enrique was heartbroken.

"Didn't you tell Crystal Palace that the price is negotiable?"

Nasser Al-Khelaifi is still a bit unwilling to give up.

"I've said it. Crystal Palace said that it has nothing to do with the amount of money. As a party to this matter, in order to avoid being punished by the FA, they can only cancel the transaction."

"Bang!"

Nasser Al-Khelaifi punched the desk.

"What a great opportunity! What a pity."

...

London, Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran's office.

"Chen, you are so awesome. Things really went according to your plan, and the FA stepped in to stop Chelsea's little move."

The little fat boy Lewis gave Chen Ran a thumbs up and flattered him wildly.

"Ahem, this is just a basic operation, not worth mentioning."

Chen Ran was also very happy to get the results he wanted. However, he still tried hard to control the expression on his face and put on a calm look.

"After eliminating these external interferences, whether we can win the Premier League and Champions League championship trophies again depends on our own performance."

...

On May 3, in the 37th round of the Premier League, Chen Ran led Crystal Palace to challenge Birmingham away from home.

After a few days of rest and recuperation, the Crystal Palace, which had taken a breath, did not leave any chance to Birmingham.

With goals from Dzeko, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, Crystal Palace defeated Birmingham 3-0 away from home.

While scoring the key three points, Chen Ran also received a "Level 1 Rehabilitation Card" from the system.

Among other matches in this round of the Premier League, there is also a strong dialogue related to the ownership of the championship that is very eye-catching. Liverpool faces Chelsea at Anfield.

Although the previous controversial bonus incident was suppressed by the Football Association, the popularity of this game has only increased.

In the end, as Chen Ran expected, with goals from Drogba and Anelka, Chelsea beat Liverpool 2:0 away from home and took away three points from Anfield.

As a result, the point gap between Chelsea and Crystal Palace remains at two points. With the last round of games left, Chelsea still retains the hope of winning the Premier League championship.

In the final round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace's opponent is Tottenham Hotspur, while Chelsea's opponent is Wigan Athletic.

From the perspective of strength gap, the strength gap between Wigan Athletic and Chelsea is too big. There is no suspense for Chelsea to defeat Wigan Athletic.

As a veteran team in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur has never been able to win the championship, but their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. At least they have the ability to cause trouble for Crystal Palace.

From a motivation point of view, Wigan Athletic has successfully avoided relegation one round ahead of schedule. The winning or losing of the final round of games has no impact on them, and it is unlikely that they will fight against Chelsea.

Tottenham Hotspur have guaranteed their qualification to participate in the Europa League next season, but they have also confirmed that they will miss the Champions League, so in theory they do not need to compete with Crystal Palace.

One week later, on May 9, the 38th round of the Premier League begins at the same time, and Crystal Palace will face Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium.

Because it is related to whether Crystal Palace can continue to defend the Premier League championship, the tickets for this game were sold out early.

Even so, on the day of the game, there were still many fans who did not buy tickets and came to the Emirates Stadium, hoping to get news of Crystal Palace's successful defense of the title as soon as possible.

After nearly a week of rest, the Crystal Palace players finally recovered.

After a long time, Chen Ran finally had the opportunity to join Crystal Palace's main lineup. However, this main lineup was very different from the early season.

Left winger Ronaldo, center forward Dzeko, right winger Messi

Central midfielder Cesc Fabregas, central midfielder Pepe, central midfielder Modric

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

Cech

On Tottenham Hotspur's side, although they have no desire now, head coach Redknapp still sent out all the main players.

Forward Defoe, forward Crouch,

Left midfielder Kranjca, central midfielder Palacios, central midfielder Huddlestone, right midfielder Lennon

Left back Hector, center back Dawson, center back Ryder King, right back Joel Luka

goalkeeper gomez

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Chen Ran quickly noticed something was wrong.

In theory, Tottenham Hotspur had nothing to gain, but every player on the field fought fiercely, as if this game was very important to them.

"Boss, something seems wrong."

Southgate also sensed something unusual and immediately came to Chen Ran to remind him.

"Yes, I understand. Gareth, please remind the players on the field to cheer up. This game may not be easy to play."

"Understood, boss."

The game was just as Chen Ran judged. Tottenham Hotspur's stubborn resistance made it impossible for Crystal Palace to break through the opponent's goal for a while.

In another game that was played at the same time, Chelsea scored against Wigan Athletic early.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score between Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur still remained at 0:0 without any change.

On Chelsea's side, they entered halftime leading Wigan Athletic 2:0.

In the stands, many reporters were also paying attention to the developments of the two games at the same time.

"If the game ends with the current score, Chelsea will win this season's Premier League championship trophy with a goal difference."

"Yes, it seems that the Crystal Palace is really in trouble this time."

"Isn't it too early for you to draw conclusions now? Anyway, there is still half the game to play, and there are great variables."

"Haha, didn't you see? Tottenham Hotspur came with a mission today. Otherwise, would they have to work so hard?"

"That's right. Tottenham Hotspur have nothing to ask for now, so there is no need to fight so hard. Don't forget, this summer is the World Cup in South Africa. There is no important reason. Aren't these players afraid of being injured and unable to play in the World Cup?"

"Is there anyone offering bonuses for winning games? Hasn't the FA already stopped it?"

"What the FA has stopped is just to provide winning bonuses to other teams. If Tottenham Hotspur Club pays winning bonuses to its own players, no matter how much it is, no one can control it."

"Um... Tottenham Hotspur will give out a huge winning bonus for a game that has nothing to do with them?"

"Haha, then I don't know."

...

During halftime, in the Crystal Palace locker room, Simeone also reported the Chelsea score to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and just quietly called up the system.

After this game, Crystal Palace only has one Champions League final against Barcelona left this season.

Therefore, at this time, the main players must not use the "level one chicken blood card" with huge negative effects.

As for Cavani and Suarez, since the negative effects of using the "first-level chicken blood card" have not been eliminated, there is no way to expect this game.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Ran called Vardy's name.

"Jamie, you replace Maicon in the second half of the game, and then serve as a double forward with Edin."

"Okay, boss."

Hearing Chen Ran call his name, Vardy immediately stood up and changed his equipment.

"Edin, you and Jamie both have 'free fire rights' in the second half of the game. You can play however you want."

"Understood, boss."

Looking into Chen Ran's eyes, Dzeko nodded heavily.

It's not long since he joined Crystal Palace, and he knows exactly what "free fire rights" means.

"Chris, Leo, you two retreated in the second half and served as left and right midfielders respectively. You aimed at Tottenham Hotspur's two full-backs to break through and deliver cannonballs to Jamie and Edin in the center. Do you understand?

?”

"Okay, boss."

Ronaldo and Messi responded.

"Pop!"

Chen Ran clapped his hands and attracted the attention of the team members.

"Guys, the second half of the game is very critical. We have worked hard all season. Whether we can win the Premier League championship trophy depends on these 45 minutes. The team's formation changed from 433 to 352, attack with all our strength, and kill Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur!"

"Kill Tottenham Hotspur!"

"The championship belongs to Crystal Palace!"

...

In the Tottenham Hotspur dressing room, Redknapp was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

Therefore, he just said a few words briefly and did not make any adjustments to the lineup and playing style on the field.

"Boys, whether you can get the high bonus offered by Mr. Chairman depends on your performance in the second half."

Later, the old Redknapp, who was addicted to cigarettes, walked out of the dressing room, and his assistant followed closely.

"Boss, our chairman has always been stingy. Why is he suddenly so generous this time?"

Old Redknapp took a slow drag on his cigarette and glanced blankly at his assistant who looked curious.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

...

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Chen Ran rarely stood on the sidelines of the game.

In the locker room before, he used a "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card" for Dzeko and Vardy respectively, and a "Free Kick Master Card" for Modric.

He has done everything he can do, and the rest depends on the performance of the players on the field.

On Tottenham Hotspur's side, old Redknapp also saw the substitution adjustments on Crystal Palace's side.

A defender was replaced and a forward was replaced. The Chinese was obviously going to launch a general attack.

Thinking of this, Old Redknapp immediately turned around and rushed Janus and Woodgate on the bench to warm up, preparing to make substitutions as soon as he saw something was wrong.

Just when Crystal Palace and Tottenham were fighting to the death, in another game, Chelsea scored again at the beginning of the second half.

Wigan Athletic seemed to have completely given up on the game and plummeted. Chelsea scored two more goals in the 49th and 54th minutes.

At this time, Chelsea already led Wigan Athletic 4:0.
