Chapter 500: New Officials Take Three Fires
Seeing that the score gap that they had finally narrowed was quickly expanded to two goals by Argentina, the players of the French team were not discouraged. Under the command of Deschamps, they continued to launch more attacks on Argentina's defense.
A fierce offensive.
When the game reached the 72nd minute, Mbappe dribbled the ball from the left and broke through the defense of right back Molina, and then directly took a curve ball with his right foot.
The shot came from an extremely awkward angle, and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez tried his best but failed to save the ball.
With Mbappe's two goals, the French team 2:3 Argentina, once again narrowing the score gap to one goal.
"Holy shit! This Mbappe is so strong! He was able to score two goals in a row in the World Cup final. He is only in his early twenties this year, right?"
"Mbappe's birthday is in December. To be precise, he is not yet 20 years old."
"I'll go! Isn't this the next superstar?"
"Nine times out of ten that's the case, otherwise Chen Ran wouldn't have taken action early and lured Mbappe to the Crystal Palace Club."
"Yes, Chen Ran's vision in selecting players is recognized as accurate. It seems that as Ronaldo and Messi get older, the Crystal Palace Club will have a successor."
"Ahem, you people upstairs should not praise Mbappe so highly. The previous James Rodriguez of Colombia also performed well in the World Cup, but he failed to become a superstar."
"How can James Rodriguez be compared with Mbappe? Didn't you see that Chen Ran didn't even take action?"
"That's right. Chen Ran's endorsement is the most solid evidence."
On the sidelines, seeing Mbappe performing well and scoring two goals for Argentina, Chen Ran felt mixed emotions in his heart. He didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.
Two years ago, when Mbappe was just emerging, Chen Ran took advantage of the strong attraction of Crystal Palace to lure him away from Monaco.
In the past two years, Mbappe has been playing as a substitute for Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi at Crystal Palace and has grown rapidly.
Now, he has performed amazingly in the World Cup. It is conceivable that after the World Cup, regardless of whether the French team can win the championship, Mbappe's value will definitely skyrocket.
In this way, although he is still under twenty years old, a substitute position is obviously not enough for Mbappe.
Moreover, if Mbappe is allowed to continue to perform, there is a risk that Argentina's World Cup trophy will be snatched away by the French.
Thinking of this, Chen Ran turned his head and glanced at Argentina's bench, shaking his head secretly.
It's not that he doesn't want to strengthen his defense against Mbappe, but that none of Argentina's current defensive players can defend Mbappe alone.
If a multi-team double-teaming tactic is used to mark Mbappe, then other parts of Argentina's defense will definitely reveal flaws, creating opportunities for other French team's offensive players to score.
Whether it is Griezmann, Giroud or Dembélé, they are not easy to deal with.
After repeated weighing, Chen Ran decided to follow the original plan of replacing defense with offense.
No matter how good Mbappe plays, he alone can't compare to players like Messi, Di Maria, Aguero and Higuain who use system cards.
Sure enough, Messi did not disappoint Chen Ran.
Less than ten minutes after Mbappe scored his second goal, Messi broke through Lucas Hernandez's defense from the right and dribbled the ball horizontally along the line of the French team's penalty area.
After evading the interceptions of Pogba and Kante, Messi used his left foot to score a curve ball.
"boom!"
The ball carried strong spin and flew directly to the upper right corner of the French team's goal.
Goalkeeper Lori reacted quickly and immediately flew up, stretching his body to the limit.
However, the angle of Messi's shot was too awkward, and the ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar with a "dang" sound.
When the ball rebounded, Lori just pounced on it again.
As a result, the ball hit Lori's back and bounced into the net.
"GOAL!!!!!"
With French goalkeeper Lori's own goal, Argentina 4:2 France, once again extending the lead to two goals.
"Holy shit! Is this Lori an undercover agent from Argentina?"
"Ahem, actually this ball can't be blamed on Lori, he is just an unlucky guy."
"It will be difficult for the French team to get back the score now. The game has already played for eighty minutes, including injury time. In the remaining ten minutes, the French team will have to score at least two goals against Argentina.
To score a goal, it's almost impossible."
"I didn't expect Argentina's offensive power to be so powerful. If I had known this, Chen Ran would have had no need to change Argentina's defensive counterattack tactics."
"Haha, you upstairs only saw that Argentina scored many goals, but you forgot how thin their defense is. Didn't you see that Mbappe has scored two goals in this game?"
"That's right. If Chen Ran hadn't asked Argentina to switch to defensive counterattack tactics before, it's still unknown whether Argentina could have reached the finals."
"I guess Chen Ran had already planned it. He played defensive counterattacks in the first place, and then suddenly changed back to offensive tactics in the final, which caught the French team off guard. Judging from the current progress of the game, the effect is quite good."
"Oh, Deschamps is too miserable. He lost to Chen Ran twice in the finals of the competition. Now I really have to go to Mourinho to keep warm."
"Hahahahaha, you upstairs, please be a human being."
On the sidelines, Deschamps was stunned when he saw Lori help Argentina expand the score again.
Many football coaches are a bit superstitious, and Deschamps is no exception.
If Messi scored the ball directly, then he would feel better.
However, Lori's own goal means that luck is not on the French team's side today.
He raised his head and glanced at the game time on the big screen in the stadium. For a moment, Deschamps felt powerless all over his body.
Pinching his eyebrows again, Deschamps took a deep breath and suppressed the ominous premonition in his heart. He walked to the sidelines and loudly cheered for the French players who were also a little discouraged.
I have to say that the French team, which is free of internal strife, is indeed very powerful.
After the game entered injury time, Mbappe first dribbled the ball through the defense of right back Molina and rushed into Argentina's penalty area.
Then he made a fake shot and made a real dunk, which deceived Mascherano who rushed back to defend, but Mascherano knocked him to the ground.
The referee Aguilar did not hesitate to award the French team a penalty kick. Mbappe took the penalty himself and deceived goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez into scoring the penalty kick.
While scoring a hat trick, Mbappe helped the French team narrow the score gap to one goal again.
However, at this time, there was not much game time left.
After the restart, Argentina completely gave up attacking and began to pass the ball around in the midfield and back to delay time.
Although the French team pressed forward from all fronts, it was almost impossible to steal the ball from Messi without fouling.
In the end, when the referee Aguilar blew the whistle for the end of the game, with Aguero's two goals and goals from Messi and Lloris, Argentina defeated France 4:3 and won the championship for the third time.
The World Cup championship trophy.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the World Cup. The special prize for the champion is 60 million euros!"
"Ding, since the host has reached an unprecedented level in the football field, we are hereby provided with an opportunity to break through ourselves and reach new heights."
"As long as the host can lead the Chinese men's football team to the World Cup finals, he will receive a cash reward of 60 million euros. If he can lead the Chinese men's football team to win the World Cup, the host will receive a cash reward of 100 million euros."
"In view of the high difficulty of this task, the system will ensure that the host can comprehensively transform Chinese football according to its own ideas."
Break through yourself and reach new heights?
Can you get a bonus of 60 million euros if you reach the World Cup finals?
A prize of 100 million euros for winning the championship?
Can you completely transform Chinese football according to your own ideas?
Just when Chen Ran was still pondering the second message from the system, he suddenly found that he was once again thrown into the air by his group of players.
Damn it, I really can’t escape this situation no matter where I go!
Award ceremony, celebration, getting drunk.
Chen Ran has already experienced a series of activities after winning the championship countless times.
Just like the previous championships, Chen Ran was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone the next day.
First, Mbappe and Kanter called, hoping that Chen Ran could serve as the head coach of the French team.
Following closely behind, the football associations of Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and other countries also extended an olive branch to Chen Ran and sent invitations to Chen Ran through various channels.
Even the Football Association of England, which has always been at odds with Chen Ran, put down its arrogance this time and took the initiative to send someone to contact Chen Ran, hoping that he would take over the position of head coach of the England national team.
However, to everyone's surprise, these invitations, which are the dream of countless coaches, were all rejected by Chen Ran.
Soon, a piece of news shocked the world: Chen Ran officially became the head coach of the Chinese men's football team.
In fact, the senior management originally wanted to let Chen Ran directly serve as the chairman of the Football Association and be fully responsible for the reform of Chinese football just like Yao Ming became the chairman of the Basketball Association.
However, Chen Ran considered that most of the clubs under the Galaxy Football Group he founded are foreign clubs. If he becomes the chairman of the Football Association, there will be some unpredictable troubles.
In addition, in Chen Ran's plan, sending domestic players to developed football countries for training and training is an indispensable part. These clubs are all indispensable and important components of this system.
Therefore, after listening to Chen Ran's opinions, the senior management finally decided to only appoint Chen Ran as the head coach of the Chinese men's football team.
Although he is only the head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Chen Ran actually has the power to lead the reform of Chinese football.
As a result, fans who care about Chinese football soon discovered that one after another football reform directives were issued one after another after Chen Ran took office.
1. Publish the reporting phone number and email address. Reports are welcome as long as they are illegal activities in the football field.
2. Limit the salary of domestic players. Before the Chinese men’s football team reaches the World Cup finals, the pre-tax salary of all domestic players must not exceed 5 million yuan. If the regulations are violated, the player will be suspended for one year and the club will impose a fine of 10 times the amount.
Penalty. (Domestic players playing in foreign leagues are not subject to this restriction)
3. The Chinese Super League is not a retirement league. Clubs that introduce foreign players over 30 years old will be charged a luxury fee equivalent to the transfer fee, which will be used to organize youth games.
4. The annual salary of foreign players should not exceed twice the average annual salary of the players involved in the past three years. If it exceeds, a luxury fee equivalent to the annual salary will be charged. This fee will also be used to organize youth competitions.
5. Use weekends and winter and summer vacations to organize national youth competitions from 8 to 19 years old in different divisions. All expenses will be borne by the luxury fees collected by the Football Association.
A series of dazzling new regulations immediately aroused heated discussions among countless fans.
"Damn it! Are the Football Association serious about it this time?"
"It should be so. Didn't you see that the reporting phone number and email address were also announced?"
"Ahem, do you think these reform measures were instigated by Chen Ran?"
"Nine times out of ten, it was him. This was only announced after Chen Ran took office. If you say it has nothing to do with him, I won't believe it even to death."
"Hahahahahaha, it's great, finally there is someone who understands taking care of football!"
"Haha, don't be too happy upstairs. After all, Chen Ran is only the head coach of the national team, and there are limits to what he can do."
"You don't understand this. The higher-ups obviously want to take action in the football field, so they invited Chen Ran back. We can't just treat him as an ordinary national team head coach."
"That's right, the people upstairs are the ones who understand."
"Chen Ran, come on! Chinese football depends on you!"
Chen Ran's series of actions after taking office have certainly received applause from fans, but for many domestic football practitioners, they are no less than a bolt from the blue.
In particular, the salary limit regulations have blocked many people's financial opportunities.
Suddenly, Chen Ran's reputation in the domestic football circle was ruined.
Chen Ran was dismissive of this.
In an interview with a sports channel, he publicly stated that the reason why Chinese football is not doing well is that there are too many people who don't want to make progress or make progress, and just want to make money.
If you want to make more money, you can go to the five major leagues to play football, and you can make as much as you want.
Or if everyone works hard together and lets the Chinese men's football team reach the World Cup finals again, no one will care how much money you make.
The video of Chen Ran being interviewed quickly became the number one most searched topic on major platforms by netizens.
Public opinion overwhelmingly sided with Chen Ran.
Those who were dissatisfied with Chen Ran, seeing this situation, immediately did not dare to show their faces anymore, and only dared to poke the villain behind his back and curse him.
However, this is just the beginning of the three things that the new official has done since taking office.
Chapter completed!
