"Chen, there is no way. Brazilian football is so complicated and confusing. That is because you are an internationally renowned foreign coach, and those guys are more restrained in doing things."

"If it were other local Brazilian coaches, then these would not be the only requirements they have."

The little fat boy Lewis spread his hands and looked at Chen Ran with a wry smile.

After listening to what little fat boy Lewis said, Chen Ran also fell into silence.

His goal is to help Chinese football rise, which is already extremely difficult, but he has no extra time and energy to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages of Brazilian football.

The reason why Chen Ran took over the position of head coach of the Brazilian national team immediately after leading Portugal to win the World Cup in South Africa.

The purpose is to further enhance his weight in international football by leading different teams to win the World Cup and pave the way for some things he will do in the future.

Therefore, in order to ensure that his big goals are not interfered with, Chen Ran does not intend to break out in the face of these messy interests in Brazilian football.

"Louis, the purpose of these people is nothing more than to give their players the status of a Brazilian international so that they can sell them at a higher price."

"You tell them for me that I have no intention of blocking their financial path, but I also hope that they will not hinder me from leading the Brazilian national team to win the championship."

"The list of players for the Brazilian team to participate in the America's Cup and World Cup must be selected by me personally. There is no room for negotiation."

"However, at other times, I will ask the Brazilian Football Association to arrange more friendly matches. At that time, I will recommend half of the Brazilian national players to participate in these friendly matches."

"Louis, what do you think if I handle it this way?"

"Well, this is a solution."

Seeing that Chen Ran didn't have a hard-on, little fat boy Lewis was secretly relieved.

Although their family is strong in Brazilian football, tigers are also afraid of wolves, and no one wants to offend everyone.

You should know that almost all player transactions related to Brazil for the clubs under the Galaxy Football Group are represented by the Figel family.

In addition, the little fat boy Louis has been working under Chen Ran these years, and the relationship between their family and Chen Ran has become an open secret.

If Chen Ran really breaks the long-standing unspoken rules of Brazilian football, the Figel family may not be in a good situation in Brazilian football in the future.

"Louis, you must have a good goalkeeper in your family. I will leave you a third goalkeeper position."

Chen Ran still knew the principle of giving a sweet date a stick, so that it would not make the Figel family busy in vain, but also avoid the possibility of them colluding with those people.

After all, we don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

Why don't we all have a quota, but your Figel family has one?

Although it is only a third goalkeeper position, the nature is completely different whether it is there or not.

"Really? Chen, isn't this not good?"

Little Fatty Louis asked with surprise on his face.

As a giant in South American football, the Figel family owns many players.

In the past, they actually did similar transactions a lot.

However, this time, because Chen Ran is the head coach of the Brazilian team, in order to avoid making a small loss and affecting the good relationship between the Figel family and the Galaxy Football Group.

Old Figel, who had already taken a back seat and was enjoying his time at home, personally decided not to make such a request to Chen Ran.

Now, Chen Ran himself offered to give the Figel family a place, and the fat boy Louis was naturally overjoyed.

The little fat boy Louis, who unexpectedly got a spot from Chen Ran, ran home in a hurry to ask for credit from the old man.

After listening to the little fat man Louis relaying Chen Ran's words, Juan Figel looked at his little son with some helplessness and some relief.

This little bastard was really sold and still had to help count the money.

However, this guy Chen Ran did not disappoint him.

Not only did he stick to his principles, but he also remained flexible.

Not only did he reward his friends who helped him, but he also laid the groundwork to prevent his friends from betraying him.

It’s really amazing!

Holding tightly to the thigh of Galaxy Football Group is indeed the right decision for the Figel family.

After settling the minor dispute over the player roster, Chen Ran began training with the players to prepare for the Copa America in Argentina.

Most of the players summoned this time are playing football in Europe.

Having just finished playing the entire season, the physical condition of all the players is exhausted.

In desperation, Chen Ran could only patiently start with restorative training again.

This time the Brazilian team was assigned to Group B, along with Paraguay, Venezuela and Ecuador.

In terms of strength, there is no suspense about the Brazilian team’s appearance in the group.

This is exactly what Chen Ran wanted.

After all, Argentina's Copa America is his first official game after taking over the Brazilian team. Starting from a weak team will help to break into the team and adjust its state.

On July 4, the Brazilian team ushered in the first match of the group stage, and their opponent was Venezuela.

Although Venezuela is a weak team, they are very defensive and focused on setting up the team.

As a result, the Brazilian team, which was physically tired and in poor condition, was unable to break through Venezuela's goal, and in the end had no choice but to accept the score of 0:0.

In the first game, they were tied by a weak team. The Brazilian team led by Chen Ran suffered a huge upset in this America's Cup right after the start of the game.

Suddenly, public opinion was in an uproar.

Thousands of miles away in China, fans who care about Chen Ran are also furious.

"No way? Isn't Venezuela a famous weak team in South America? It can actually draw with Brazil?"

"Yes. Is Venezuela getting stronger or Brazil getting weaker?"

"Even if Brazil is not as strong as before, it still won't be able to defeat Venezuela, right? What on earth is this guy Chen Ran doing?"

"If you ask me, Chen Ran is underestimating the opponent. I guess he, like us, thinks that with the strength of Brazil, it will be easy to win against a weak team like Venezuela."

"Haha, I believe you when you say others underestimate the enemy, but how could a guy like Chen Ran underestimate the enemy?"

"Isn't it because Chen Ran is acclimated to Brazil and can't handle these Brazilian players?"

"You are worrying too much upstairs. The current Brazilian team includes Kaká, Thiago Silva, Maicon and Alves, all the old members of the Crystal Palace. With old players like them here, how could Chen Ran not be able to do it?

Those Brazilian players."

"What else could be the reason?"

"I don't know. However, after all, this game is Chen Ran's first game after taking over the Brazilian team. A little accident is normal, and it is estimated that it will return to normal in the next game."

"hope so."

Five days later, on July 10, the Brazilian team ushered in the second game of the group stage.

This time, their opponent is Paraguay, which is good at defensive counterattacks.

After ninety minutes of fierce fighting, Brazil was tied 2:2 by Paraguay thanks to goals from Diego Costa and Douglas Costa.

After two consecutive draws since the start of the match, the Brazilian team suffered another upset.

In another match in this group, Venezuela defeated Ecuador 1:0, accumulating four points with one draw and one win, surpassing Brazil in one fell swoop and ranking first in the group.

Brazil and Paraguay have both drawn for two consecutive games, with two points tied. Even the goal difference and number of goals are the same, so they can only tie for second place in the group.

Although Ecuador ranks last in the group with only one point, there is only the last round of the group stage left, and they still have a chance to appear in the group.

For a moment, there was suspense about the appearance of the Brazilian team in the group.

"Holy shit! What is Chen Ran doing? He won't let the Brazilian team be eliminated in the group stage, right?"

If the first game can be explained by accidents, then after failing to win two consecutive games, doubts about Chen Ran began to emerge from all directions.

"Is Chen Ran really acclimated? After all, all his previous achievements were achieved when he was coaching in Europe."

"I don't think we should rush to conclusions yet. In some past competitions, some teams struggled in the group stage, but in the end they won the championship."

"Whether this is really the case depends on the performance of the Brazilian team in the last group match. If they don't win, they will really be eliminated."

"It shouldn't be like this."

Not to mention the widespread doubts about Chen Ran from the outside world, now even within the Brazilian team, some players have begun to have doubts about whether Chen Ran can lead the team to win the championship trophy.

"Do you think our Chinese boss can do it? It would be embarrassing to be eliminated in the group stage."

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense. There is no doubt about the boss's ability. So many championship trophies are not fake. You also play in the European League. You still don't understand the level of the boss."

"Of course I know that the boss is very capable, but as rumored by the outside world, is he not very adaptable to our Brazilian football environment?"

"Well, it's not impossible. But these things are beyond our players' control. Let's play our own football. Let the bosses of the Football Association worry about the rest."

"That's true."

"Chen, now the confidence of some players in the team has been shaken. We must win the last remaining group match, otherwise we may be in trouble."

The hidden undercurrent in the locker room was not hidden from Kaka's eyes and ears, and he immediately came to remind Chen Ran.

Since Chen Ran became the head coach of the Brazilian team, he appointed Kaka as the captain of the Brazilian team and Thiago Silva as the vice-captain.

Coupled with the help of Maicon, Alves and others, Chen Ran basically controlled the Brazilian team's locker room.

These arrangements he made have finally come into play. Chen Ran is fully aware of any disturbance within the Brazilian team.

"Ricardo, don't worry, these two games are just for you to adjust your condition. We will work hard in the next games, and you can just wait to win the America's Cup."

Seeing Chen Ran's confident look, Kaka immediately felt much more at ease.

After all, he had won one championship after another with Chen Ran in the Crystal Palace, and he had developed the habit of trusting Chen Ran.

In Kaka's memory, there is nothing that Chen Ran said but failed to do.

Chen Ran did not fool Kaká. In these two games, he was really adjusting the state of the Brazilian players.

Whether it's Paraguay, Venezuela or Ecuador, most of the players on these teams play in their home leagues.

Compared with almost all Brazilian players playing in European leagues, these three teams can be regarded as waiting for work.

Since it was an adjustment state, Chen Ran certainly did not use the system card.

And in these two games, he sent most of the Brazilian players on the court in turns to adapt to the rhythm of the game. Therefore, although the results of two consecutive draws surprised him, he did not pay too much attention to it.

However, in the last game against Ecuador, the Brazilian team must be full of firepower, otherwise it will really mess up.

During the pre-match preparation meeting, Chen Ran looked at the Brazilian internationals sitting below and smiled.

"Guys, I know that the draws in our first two games have caused a lot of doubts from the outside world. Even within our team, some players have doubts about whether we can win the championship trophy."

"I can responsibly tell you here that the champion of this America's Cup belongs to Brazil, and no one can take it away."

"After adjustments in the first two games, we must go all out to defeat our opponent in the next game against Ecuador."

"And, not only do you have to win, you also have to win beautifully."

"So, you have only one task in this game, which is to attack, attack, and attack again!"

After Chen Ran worked hard before the game, Brazil, which played with its entire main lineup, did not disappoint him.

With the goals of Neymar, Kaká, Diego Costa and Thiago Silva, the Brazilian team defeated Ecuador 4:0 in the last group match. Chen Ran also got a card from the system.

"Level 1 blood recovery card".

In another match in this group, Venezuela and Paraguay tied at 3:3.

As a result, Brazil is tied with Venezuela on five points.

The Brazilian team ranked first in the group and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals by virtue of its goal difference advantage, while Venezuela, ranked second, also advanced to the quarterfinals.

Because there were too few participating teams in the America's Cup, Paraguay also successfully advanced to the quarterfinals as third in the group.

In the quarter-finals, the team Brazil will face becomes Uruguay.

In a previous life, Uruguay was the winner of this America's Cup.

According to Chen Ran's memory of his previous life, Uruguay should have met Argentina. It was after they eliminated Argentina that they advanced all the way and finally won the championship trophy.

Now it seems that due to his intervention, the direction of this America's Cup is completely different from the previous life.
