Star City, "Sports Weekly" newspaper office.

"Holy shit! Crystal Palace actually defeated Arsenal and won the League Cup?"

A young editor shouted while browsing the web.

"What? Really? Today isn't April Fool's Day, right?"

"Are you kidding? Arsenal is now the strongest team in England. They remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season. Will they lose to Crystal Palace?"

"That's right. If I remember correctly, Crystal Palace is still a Championship team now, right?"

"Yes, they are the English Championship team. But since Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai left, I have not paid attention to Crystal Palace. Has it become so strong now? Can it beat Arsenal?"

"I remember that there was a news in the international edition last year, saying that the Crystal Palace was acquired by Chinese people. Xiao Zhang, it seems that you wrote that article. Please tell me the specific situation."

"It was written by me. But I only know that the Crystal Palace was acquired by a Chinese named Chen Ran. As for who this Chen Ran is, I have not found out. Editor-in-chief Yan had already returned to China at that time. I will give you more detailed information.

I no longer know."

"The main reason is that Crystal Palace no longer has any domestic players playing for us, and it is not a Premier League giant, so naturally no one pays attention to it."

"But the current boss of Crystal Palace is from China."

"The problem is that the fans only recognize the players, who cares who the boss is?"

A piece of news attracted the editors of surrounding newspapers to discuss the Crystal Palace, which unexpectedly defeated Arsenal to win the championship, and its mysterious new owner.

This scene happened to be seen by Xu Yuan, the newspaper president and editor-in-chief who was passing by.

"What are you all doing here?"

When everyone saw that the boss was coming, they immediately dispersed, leaving only the young editor who stood up and told the story.

"Oh? I didn't expect that Chen Ran would really achieve something."

"President, do you also know this Chen Ran?"

"Well, Liang Feng, who succeeded Chief Editor Yan, reported to me a while ago that Chen Ran is very popular in the UK and has even found a popular British singer as his girlfriend."

"What? Real or fake? President, please explain in detail."

As soon as they heard such explosive gossip, the editors who had just dispersed gathered together again, regardless of the majesty of their leader.

"Ahem, I didn't ask for details. I thought it was just a playboy's whim, so I didn't let Liang Feng continue to follow it."

"However, now that Crystal Palace can defeat Arsenal in an upset and win the League Cup, it shows that Chen Ran still really treats football as a career."

"Then let Liang Feng do an exclusive interview with him, so that domestic fans can know that although there are no domestic players in the Crystal Palace now, there is a Chinese as the boss."

"Okay, boss, don't worry, I'll call Liang Feng right away."

At the same time, in Yangcheng, which is nearly 700 kilometers away from Star City, a similar scene also happened at Ford Bao Newspaper, the archrival of "Sports Weekly".

Moreover, Kang Ning, a London-based reporter from Ford Press, soon received the task of interviewing Chen Ran.

London, Arsenal Club.

Wenger came to the office and started working as usual. Yesterday's League Cup final was a relatively important game for him.

After losing the game, I was a little depressed and a little unhappy, that's all, far from being angry.

Because the League Cup champion was not taken seriously by him in the first place.

Of course it’s good if you get it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t get it.

However, he still gained a lot from this game.

Looking at the table full of information about Crystal Palace's main players, Wenger nodded with satisfaction. He asked his assistant to sort it out overnight.

This pig farm named Crystal Palace is full of top-quality pigs.

And now it is about to be put on the market, so we must buy it back before the old enemy finds out.

At this moment, Wenger was very proud of his decision to meet with Crystal Palace in advance.

After all, no matter how beautiful the data in those documents is, it is not as reassuring as testing it yourself.

Now, after 120 minutes of testing against Arsenal, the strongest team in England, Wenger has mentally stamped the seal of approval on these Crystal Palace players.

It's time to have a chat with that little guy from China.

At this time, Chen Ran was still hungover at home, unaware that he had become the target of many people again.

In order to take care of Chen Ran, Cheryl took leave today and did not go to the company. The two people who are usually very busy have rare time to stay at home today.

At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Ran woke up from peeing.

After running the water and washing up, he found Cheryl in the kitchen.

"Honey, I'm hungry."

Cheryl turned back to Chen Ran and showed a sweet smile.

"My dear, of course you are hungry because you didn't have breakfast. Just wait a moment and you'll be fine soon."

As if she thought of something again, Cheryl added another sentence.

"Oh, by the way, Stephen called you before. I saw that you were still sleeping, so he didn't wake you up. You should call him back now. Maybe there is something important."

"Okay, dear, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Ran leaned forward and kissed Cheryl, then poured himself a glass of hot water and went to call Stephen back while drinking.

"Stephen, what do you want from me?"

"You finally woke up? Well, there are two things. One is that Arsenal coach Wenger wants to meet you; the other is that two media from your country want to conduct an exclusive interview with you."

"Wait a minute, you mean Wenger wants to see me?"

"Yes, that's what his assistant said, and he also said that coach Wenger told you about this before."

"Well...he did mention it. But I thought it was just a normal polite comment, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Then do you agree or not?"

"Of course I agreed. We have just snatched the League Cup from Arsenal. If we refuse again at this time, we will really create a problem."

"Okay. What about the second thing? Do you agree to both interviews?"

"What are the names of those two media outlets?"

"One is called "Sports Weekly" and the other is called "Ford News"."

Chen Ran was stunned, good fellow, I either don't come, or I want to come together.

This is called enemies not getting together.

These two are the most influential print media covering football in China, and they are competing with each other for more than a day or two.

It seemed that the impact of Crystal Palace's victory in the English League Cup was more profound than he had previously expected.

As the old saying goes: “Good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.”

That doesn't seem to be the case.

If you win a championship, won't it spread to China thousands of miles away?

However, you still need to plan carefully how to make good use of the influence of these two media to help you develop youth training in the country in the future.
