Chapter 452 Social Expenses

Although Chen Ran has become the new head coach of the Brazilian national team, since the World Cup in South Africa has just ended, the Brazilian national team does not have any competition tasks at the moment.

As for the Crystal Palace club, they have Stephen in management, Luiz in transfer affairs, and Guardiola in training and competition. Now Chen Ran only needs to sit behind the scenes and grasp the general direction.

In this way, Chen Ran can finally relax and enjoy life.

When the 2010-2011 Premier League season began, under the leadership of Guardiola, Crystal Palace continued the momentum of the past, advancing all the way and becoming invincible.

However, Crystal Palace met Inter Milan coached by Mourinho in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

When Guardiola was coaching Barcelona in La Liga, he struggled with Real Madrid led by Mourinho for two seasons.

And he defeated Mourinho twice to steal the La Liga championship trophy, which directly led to Mourinho being kicked out of the Real Madrid club.

This time, although both of them had changed their employers, their enemies were extremely jealous when they met.

Inter Milan, which has undergone a major transformation after Mourinho took over, is determined to play defensive counterattack.

As a result, Crystal Palace first lost 0:0 away from home, then 1:1 at home, and were tied twice by Inter Milan.

In the end, Crystal Palace was eliminated from the Champions League by Inter Milan due to few away goals, causing the biggest upset in the Champions League this season.

You know, Crystal Palace has been the Champions League champion in the past five seasons.

After changing the head coach, they have not even made it to the semi-finals. This is Chen Ran's worst result since he became the owner of Crystal Palace Club.

All of a sudden, there was overwhelming talk of badmouthing Crystal Palace and saying that Crystal Palace was going to start to decline.

There are many reporters who want to interview Chen Ran and ask him what he thinks about Crystal Palace being eliminated from the Champions League.

Even gambling companies have launched a new project to predict when Guardiola will be dismissed from get out of class.

"Boss, I'm sorry. The team was eliminated from the Champions League. It's all my responsibility. I'm willing to accept any punishment."

Early the next morning after the game, Guardiola came to Chen Ran's office to apologize.

Seeing Guardiola's guilty look, Chen Ran didn't have any intention of getting angry.

Yesterday, he watched Crystal Palace's home game against Inter Milan from the VIP box at the Emirates Stadium.

Mourinho really took the defensive counterattack to the extreme. Crystal Palace, with all its firepower, failed to break through the goal guarded by Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar. Instead, Argentine forward Diego Milito counterattacked and scored the first goal.

It was not until the end of the game that Messi scored the equalizing goal for Crystal Palace. But by this time, it was too late, and in the end they had to swallow the bitter pill of being eliminated.

Frankly speaking, if Chen Ran was still in charge and he had system cards as his trump card, such a result might not have occurred.

But Guardiola is just an ordinary coach, and he does not have this ability to turn things around.

Therefore, although Chen Ran was not very happy about this result, he was not too angry, and he would not fire Guardiola because of it.

After all, when he made the decision to no longer be the head coach of Crystal Palace, he had already expected that such a day would come.

"Josep, it doesn't matter. In games, it's normal to lose and win. Although we have been eliminated from the Champions League this season, we will just come back next season."

"What you have to do now is to forget about being eliminated and play well in the remaining Premier League games. But just because you are eliminated from the Champions League, it cannot affect the results of the Premier League. Do you understand?"

Seeing such a big thing as the team being eliminated from the Champions League, Chen Ran didn't even say a word of blame.

For a moment, Guardiola couldn't help but choked up.

"Boss, thank you. I will definitely lead the team to win the Premier League championship trophy this season. If I can't do it, I will resign on my own initiative."

"Josep, resigning is too much. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I don't want to change coaches every three days. In my plan, you will be the head coach of our Crystal Palace for a long time to come."

As Chen Ran said this, he walked up to Guardiola and patted him on the shoulder.

"thank you boss!"

Although he doesn't understand Chinese, in Guardiola's heart at this moment, only the words "A scholar will die for his confidant" can describe him.

Thousands of miles away in China, Crystal Palace was unexpectedly eliminated from the Champions League by Inter Milan, which also detonated the entire Crystal Palace fan circle.

"Is this Guardiola good? Didn't he always crush the Real Madrid coached by Mourinho when he was in Barcelona? Why did he perform worse when he arrived at the stronger Crystal Palace?"

"That's right, it doesn't make sense logically. Could it be that there are too many stars in Crystal Palace and they are too strong, and Guardiola can't control them?"

"It's really possible. There is a kind of coach who thrives when leading small and medium-sized clubs, but fails when he reaches a top club. Isn't Guardiola this kind of coach?"

"Isn't that true? Although Barcelona's results in recent years are not as good as Crystal Palace, they are still a veteran and wealthy team."

"This Mourinho is really an unbeatable little guy. He has been suppressed by Chen Ran for so many years, but I didn't expect that he would turn him around now."

"Haha, that means Chen Ran is no longer the head coach of Crystal Palace. Otherwise, do you think Mourinho can turn things around?"

"Well, if Chen Ran was still the head coach of Crystal Palace, there wouldn't be so much nonsense."

"Who says it isn't?"

After appeasing Guardiola, Chen Ran went on to accept interviews with the media.

In the interview, Chen Ran repeatedly emphasized his trust in Guardiola. He also publicly stated that even if Crystal Palace was eliminated from the Champions League, Guardiola would not be dismissed.

After experiencing this turmoil, Guardiola seemed to be on fire, leading Crystal Palace to sweep England and win this season's Triple Crown of Premier League Championship, FA Cup Championship and League Cup Championship. With outstanding results,

Blocked everyone's mouth.

Even when Guardiola was leading the Crystal Palace to fight everywhere, Chen Ran was not idle either.

In addition to handling matters related to Crystal Palace Club and Galaxy Football Group, he also put more energy into the youth training project he founded in China.

After years of continuous selection, the youth training program founded by Chen Ran in China has begun to take shape.

Starting with 10-year-old children, Chen Ran has set up a team for each age group.

Because the oldest child selected for the project is only 17 years old, there are now eight teams with more than 200 children in the base from U10, U11, U12 to U17.

Although these children have entered this project through strict selection, it does not mean that these children will definitely be able to play professional football.

Chen Ran's request is to open the door to all talented children in the country, so there will be some changes in the echelon candidates for each age group every year.

There are constantly talented children joining, and at the same time, if it is found that a child is not suitable for playing football during the growth process, some children will also be eliminated.

Of course, Chen Ran’s original promise is still valid.

Even for the children who are eliminated, if they choose to continue studying, all their expenses until they go to college will be borne by Chen Ran.

Moreover, because Chen Ran instructed the Galaxy Football Group to set up the Galaxy Cup Youth Football Invitational Tournament, these children have the opportunity to go to Europe every year to compete with the youth training teams of major football powers.

At the same time, Galaxy Football Group owns many clubs including Crystal Palace in England, Willem II in the Netherlands, Red Bull Salzburg in Austria, Sporting Recife in Brazil, New York Red Bulls and Shanghai Galaxy.

Therefore, Chen Ran also asked various clubs within the group to hold regular youth training echelon exchange competitions. The young players of this youth training program founded by Chen Ran in China participated in this event in the name of Shanghai Galaxy Echelon. .

Chen Ran also made special arrangements for the timing of the two major events. One is during the summer vacation and the other is during the winter vacation, so that it will not affect the children's normal learning.

In this way, the children selected from Chen Ran's youth training program will have an average of 20 to 30 opportunities to play against high-level foreign teams every year.

In ten years, there will be two or three hundred games.

Over time, children who have rich experience playing against foreign teams will grow much faster than children trained through other domestic youth training channels.

Not to mention, Chen Ran also paved the way for their future development.

According to Chen Ran's plan, starting from the age of 18, Chen Ran will arrange for these children to go to various clubs under the Galaxy Football Group for trial training.

If you can pass the assessment of these club coaches, then you can stay in the youth training echelon of that club to train and live, and then strive to enter the first team through your own efforts.

If they are unable to stay in those clubs, they can return to China and become members of the Shanghai Galaxy club echelon.

By the way, the current Shanghai Galaxy Club is no longer the second-tier Chinese team it used to be.

After Chen Ran invested heavily in introducing high-level domestic and foreign players, Shanghai Galaxy won the Chinese Super League championship trophy as a newly promoted team, creating China's Kaiserslautern miracle.

Director Xu also won the league championship trophy again many years later. He became the only head coach to lead three different teams to win the top league championship in China.

Chen Ran believes that the players who come out of his whole set of selection, training, training and actual combat system will definitely make a qualitative leap compared to the current Chinese players.

With them as the foundation, it is no longer out of reach for Chinese football to reach the World Cup finals again.

With the European League season over, Chen Ran had to focus his main energy back on the Brazilian national team.

The 43rd America's Cup will be held this year, and the host is Brazil's archrival Argentina.

Ricardo Teixeira, chairman of the Brazilian Football Association, also specifically asked Chen Ran, hoping that he could lead the Brazilian team to win the Copa America trophy in Argentina.

Since the boss has given instructions, of course Chen Ran must do his best to meet the sponsor's requirements.

After all, since Brazil is the host of the 2014 Brazil World Cup, they do not need to participate in World Cup qualifying.

Therefore, before the start of the World Cup in Brazil, this Copa America is the most important game for the Brazilian team.

Although Chen Ran usually paddles and is busy with his own business, if he keeps paddling until the World Cup in Brazil, his conscience will still feel a little painful.

In order to be worthy of the salary paid to him by the Brazilian Football Association, Chen Ran decided that he could only steal the America's Cup championship trophy from Argentina as compensation for his usual paddling.

To this end, he officially summoned 23 carefully selected players through the Brazilian Football Association to train and prepare for the America's Cup.

Forward Neymar, forward Pato, forward Diego Costa, forward Fred.

Midfielder Kaka, Fernandinho, Ramirez, Lucas, Willian, Douglas Costa, Teixeira, Paulinho.

Defenders: Thiago Silva, Maicon, Alves, Lucio, David Luiz, Marcelo, Maxwell, Luison.

Goalkeepers Cesar, Gomez, Victor.

It has to be said that being the head coach of the Brazilian team is much more complicated than coaching Portugal.

Before Chen Ran announced the 23-man roster for the America's Cup, various people recommended their players to Chen Ran.

At this time, in South America, the ownership of a player does not necessarily belong to the team he plays for.

The ownership of some players is even in the hands of several different people or companies. Behind these people or companies, there is a complicated network of relationships.

The level of complexity and chaos would have been unimaginable to Chen Ran if he hadn't experienced it personally.

In desperation, Chen Ran had no choice but to transfer little fat boy Lewis over and deal with these messy things through him.

At least Fatty Luis and his family, as the bosses of Brazilian football, know very well who they cannot offend and who they can ignore.

There is no way, who let Chen Ran have the club Recife in Brazil?

If he offends someone he shouldn't offend, he can slap his ass and leave. At worst, he won't be the head coach of the Brazilian national team, but the Recife club can't run away.

The current Recife club is no longer the Brazilian second division team that Chen Ran bought it from.

Like Shanghai Galaxy, with Chen Ran's financial investment and the resource advantage of Galaxy Football Group, the current Recife Club has been promoted to the Brazilian League.

Moreover, the results are good and there is even hope of winning the Brazilian League Championship.

"Chen, I suggest you leave one or two spots as social expenses. This will save you a lot of trouble in coaching the Brazilian national team."

After receiving Chen Ran's order, little fat boy Luis immediately flew back to Brazil from London.

"Luis, do you select players for the Brazilian national team so casually?"

Chen Ran sneered and looked sideways at little fat boy Lewis.
