Sweet pastry

After contacting Chen Ran, the Brazilian Football Association and Chen Ran agreed to meet in London.

After their internal evaluation, it is generally believed that Chen Ran is the best candidate to serve as the head coach of the Brazilian team.

After all, winning the World Cup in Brazil is the common hope of all Brazilians.

Under this general premise, as long as something can help achieve this goal, even if it is unprecedented and breaks the rules, in the end we will give the green light and do something special.

Chen Ran, who returned to London, accompanied by Kaká, met with people from the Brazilian Football Association.

What surprised him was that Ricardo Teixeira, a big figure in Brazilian football, who had been president of the Brazilian Football Association for five consecutive terms since 1989, actually led the team to London in person.

This Ricardo Teixeira is not simple, he is the son-in-law of former FIFA president Havelange, and he is the "ruler" of Brazilian football.

No matter whether the left, right or center-line parties are in power, Ricardo Teixeira's position as president of the Brazilian Football Federation has always remained unshakable.

"Mr. Teixeira, I didn't expect you to come here in person. I'm really honored."

Seeing Ricardo Teixeira, a fat old man with white hair, Chen Ran immediately stepped forward to shake hands and exchange greetings with enthusiasm. After years of training, Chen Ran's ability to deal with such scenes has become extremely good.

"Haha, Mr. Chen, although it's a little late, I still want to congratulate you for leading Portugal to win the World Cup in South Africa."

"Thank you Mr. Teixeira. However, these are things in the past. I hope that in the World Cup in Brazil four years later, the Brazilian team can win the Hercules Cup."

"Hahahaha, I think so too. Mr. Chen, it seems we have a lot in common."

Ricardo Teixeira and Chen Ran looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

The meeting between Chen Ran and the Brazilian Football Association went very smoothly. After all, Chen Ran's conditions had already been conveyed to the Brazilian Football Association through Kaká and the others.

What's more, considering Chen Ran's current status and his achievements, an annual salary of 5 million euros is really not high.

If the Brazilian Football Federation does not accept it, Ricardo Teixeira will not make this trip himself.

Needless to say, the capabilities of England's paparazzi. As soon as Ricardo Teixeira and his group walked out of London Heathrow Airport, their photos appeared on some online media.

Suddenly, the news that Chen Ran might be the head coach of the Brazilian national team spread even more widely.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just finished the World Cup and was lying on the beach sunbathing, was shocked.

"Chris, do you know the news that your boss is going to coach the Brazilian team?"

After receiving the call from Mendes, Ronaldo was so shocked that he sat up from the beach.

"What? Jorge, didn't the boss already refute the rumors about this before during the World Cup?"

"What Chen Ran said at the time was that he would not consider any invitations during the World Cup. But now that the World Cup is over, he does not break his promise."

"Jorge, please wait a moment, I'll make a call."

After hanging up the phone to Mendes, Ronaldo immediately dialed Kaka's number.

He knew that it was players like Kaka who suggested to the Brazilian Football Association to invite Chen Ran to be the head coach of the Brazilian team.

"Ricardo, is the boss going to be the head coach of your Brazilian team?"

After the call was connected, Ronaldo asked the question he was most concerned about directly without any pleasantries.

"Oh, it's Chris. Yes, the Brazilian Football Association has decided to officially invite the boss to be the new head coach of the Brazilian national team."

"The chairman of the Football Association, Ricardo Teixeira, personally led the team to London. He is very sincere. Moreover, they have accepted all the boss's conditions, so if nothing else happens, this matter should be resolved soon."

As the initiator and participant of the whole thing, Kaka is naturally very aware of the progress of the matter.

Now that the matter has almost been decided, there is no need for him to hide it from Ronaldo anymore.

"How could you do this? The boss has just led Portugal to win the World Cup, and you want to steal people. Isn't this too much?"

On the other end of the phone, Ronaldo was so angry that he wanted to fly back to London and have a real-life PK with Kaká.

"Chris, what you said is wrong. Portugal has already won the World Cup and you are still not satisfied? You can't let your Portuguese family take advantage of it, right?"

"Ahem, what does it mean that the benefits are all taken away by Portugal? We only won a Hercules Cup, at least let us win a European Cup championship trophy?"

"Chris, you have won the World Cup, but the European Cup won't be easy. I think if you find a better coach and work a little harder, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Huh? I remember Mourinho is also from Portugal. He is quite good. You can suggest that the Portuguese Football Association invite him to take over as the head coach of the Portuguese national team."

When it came to competing for Chen Ran, Kaka was determined not to give in. However, after all, Ronaldo was his club teammate, and the relationship could not be stalemate. So, Kaka enthusiastically recommended Mourinho to Ronaldo.

Rinho.

Wang Defa!

On the other end of the phone, Ronaldo almost cursed.

Mourinho and he are both clients of Mendes' company, and they are both Portuguese. Cristiano Ronaldo knows Mourinho's level very well, can he be compared with the boss?

The phone call between Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldo ultimately ended on bad terms.

After hanging up the phone, Ronaldo called Chen Ran without giving up.

"Boss, are you really going to be the head coach of the Brazilian team?"

When he saw that it was Ronaldo's phone number, Chen Ran knew what this guy was going to say.

"If nothing else happens, it should be."

"Boss, you have led us Portugal to win the World Cup, why don't you continue to lead us? It's not too late to at least win another European Cup before leaving."

Cristiano Ronaldo is still determined to give it a final try.

"Chris, do you want to hear the truth?"

After hesitating for a while, considering that Ronaldo had been with him for so many years, Chen Ran finally decided to tell the real reason for his departure.

"Of course. Boss, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it and we will find a way to correct it."

"Chris, Portugal is a small country after all, with a small population and only so many outstanding players."

"Frankly speaking, except for the twelve or three players who make up the starting lineup, the gap between the level of other players and the main force is a bit big."

"At some critical moments, I don't even dare to make substitutions. Because after substitution, it is likely to cause worse results."

"And this situation is obviously not something that I, the head coach, can change, and there is no point in continuing to coach."

"Being able to win the World Cup in South Africa is the limit of what I can do. This can be regarded as a gift I leave to you."

After hearing what Chen Ran said, Ronaldo was silent on the phone for a long time.

"Boss, thank you for telling me this, and thank you for leading Portugal to the Hercules Cup. I wish you all the best in coaching the Brazilian team."

A few days after Ricardo Teixeira and his team arrived in London, the Brazilian Football Association released news that it would hold a press conference in London to announce the candidate for the new head coach of the Brazilian team.

When the reporters who received the invitation letter saw the location where the press conference was held, they immediately understood who the new head coach of the Brazilian team was.

Because the venue for this press conference was the Crystal Palace Club.

On the day of the press conference, major sports media from all over the world appeared at the Crystal Palace Club. Many TV stations even brought SNG cars to the scene.

Although the reporters had already made assumptions before coming to the press conference, they still let out a burst of surprise when they saw Chen Ran and Ricardo Teixeira walking onto the podium together.

After Ricardo Teixeira, as the chairman of the Brazilian Football Association, officially announced the hiring of Chen Ran as the head coach of the Brazilian national team, the press conference finally came to the question session that reporters had been waiting for.

"I would like to ask Mr. Chen, you have just led Portugal to win the World Cup championship trophy in South Africa. What made you decide not to coach the Portuguese national team?"

As Chen Ran expected, reporters focused their fire on him as soon as he entered the question-and-answer session.

Chen Ran glanced at the reporter who asked the question and smiled slightly.

"The reason is simple. My contract with the Portuguese Football Association has expired after the World Cup in South Africa."

"Although there is still a contract extension clause, I do not intend to activate it. Because I have already helped the Portuguese national team win the highest honor."

"If I continue to coach Portugal, it will just repeat the previous process. The reason why I decided not to coach Crystal Palace Club was because I didn't want to do the same thing over and over again."

"This is the reason why I decided not to coach the Portuguese national team. I wonder if this journalist friend is still satisfied?"

"Mr. Chen, may I ask why you chose to be the head coach of the Brazilian team? You know, their performance in the World Cup in South Africa was not very good."

This reporter's question was merciless, making Ricardo Teixeira, who was sitting next to Chen Ran, look extremely ugly.

"Friend this reporter, no strong team can guarantee to be at the top all the time. It is normal for the performance to fluctuate temporarily."

"Besides, Brazil is a kingdom of football and has countless football talents. No matter what industry it is in, talent is the most important factor. As long as there are sufficient talents, good results will be achieved sooner or later."

"Mr. Chen, since you are so optimistic about the Brazilian team, what is your goal after becoming the head coach of the Brazilian team? To win the Brazilian World Cup?"

As soon as Chen Ran finished speaking, a reporter keenly caught his words and took the opportunity to dig a hole for him.

Chen Ran is now an old fox who has experienced many battles, and naturally he has heard the trap contained in this question.

However, he didn't care.

"Thanks to this journalist friend for his concern. I just take this opportunity to announce my goal as the head coach of the Brazilian team this time, which is to win the Brazilian World Cup championship trophy."

"oh!"

The entire press conference was immediately ignited by Chen Ran's shocking words.

There has never been a coach who publicly announced on his first day that his goal is to win the next World Cup.

Moreover, what makes reporters a little embarrassed is that Chen Ran has just led Portugal to win the World Cup in South Africa.

As the head coach of a championship team, he is obviously qualified to say this.

This makes it difficult for reporters to find fault with Chen Ran.

Seeing the uncomfortable expressions of the reporters in the audience, Chen Ran secretly laughed in his heart.

He is good at turning press conferences into his own speeches.

While Chen Ran was fighting wits with reporters in London, with the convenience of the Internet, the news was immediately spread back to China thousands of miles away.

"Shit! It was just a rumor before, but I didn't expect that Chen Ran would actually become the head coach of the Brazilian team."

"Awesome! Chen Ran is so awesome!"

"I would never dare to do this in my wildest dreams if a Chinese serves as the head coach of the Brazilian national team, the kingdom of football."

"That's right, even those writers on the Internet who write mindless and cool articles don't dare to write like this."

"And Chen Ran also announced in public that his goal is to win the Brazilian World Cup. It's so arrogant, I like it!"

"I'll go! If Chen Ran really leads the Brazilian team to win the World Cup, then he will be the first head coach to lead different teams to win the World Cup, right?"

"It seems like this is really the case. If Chen Ran really does this, he will be recorded in history."

"Argentina is in dire straits now. I don't know what Messi and Mascherano are thinking now."

"I must be regretting why I didn't grab Chen Ran as the head coach like Kaká and Thiago Silva."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The Chinese fans really got it right. At this time, Messi was discussing Chen Ran's appointment as the head coach of the Brazilian team with his Crystal Palace teammate Mascherano, who is also the Argentina international.

"Javier, the boss actually went to coach the Brazilian team. As a result, it will be difficult for us Argentina to defeat the Brazilian team in the future."

On the phone, Messi's voice was weak and he was obviously not in a good mood.

"Then what can you do? No matter how difficult it is, you have to play."

As mortal enemies, Brazil and Argentina have become a habit of fighting each other whenever they meet.

"It would be great if we also suggested to the Football Association that we invite the boss to be the head coach of our Argentina national team. Then maybe the boss will choose us Argentina."

Messi now only hates that he is too young and cannot respond to everything like Kaká did in the Brazilian national team.

"Okay, Leo, it's useless to talk about this now. After all, this is not something that we players can decide."

Although Mascherano is also helpless, after all, he is three years older than Messi and has experienced more things, so he will not worry about things he cannot change.

"I know, but when I think about becoming the boss's opponent in the future, I feel a little guilty."

"Well, me too."
