MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 435 double refund

   After the game against Liverpool, the Crystal Palace team can really be said to be exhausted.

   However, two days later, on April 27, they will usher in the last game of ten games in 30 days, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, against the Bundesliga hegemony Bayern Munich.

   "Boss, how do you arrange the starting roster for this game?"

  Southgate looked at Chen Ran with a frown, the team doctor had issued repeated warnings, and all Crystal Palace members were overstretched. If these players continue to participate in the game, there is a great possibility of injury and attrition.

   "Report the test to me."

   In the face of the most perverted schedule in history, Chen Ran doesn't even have the strength to complain now.

   UEFA cannot change the match time of the Champions League semi-finals for Crystal Palace, so Chen Ran can only bite the bullet and select players with less overdraft from the test report to make up a starting lineup.

  Fortunately, before Crystal Palace defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 on the road, as long as they return to home in the second round, as long as they do not collapse, then there is a high probability that Crystal Palace will advance to the Champions League final.

   In order to ensure that the team does not collapse in this game, Chen Ran had to bleed heavily. In addition to the "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card", which has a huge negative effect, the "Level 1 Healing Card", "Level 1 Sight Card", and "Free Kick Master Card" are all common.

  In the end, with the goals of Modric and Cesc Fabregas, Crystal Palace lost to Bayern Munich 2:3 at home, but still successfully advanced to the Champions League with a total score of 4:3.

   In another Champions League semi-final, Barcelona defeated Inter Milan 3:1 at the Nou Camp and eliminated the opponent with a total score of 3:2 to get another Champions League final ticket.

   This is not only after last season, Crystal Palace and Barcelona met again in the Champions League final, but also Chen Ran and his former assistant Guardiola faced off again.

   However, in order to qualify for the Champions League final, Crystal Palace also paid a heavy price.

   In this game, the main central defender Vidic and the attacking core Ribery were injured one after another.

   At this point in the season, Crystal Palace has already injured seven generals including Tony, Kaka, Ribery, Yaya Toure, Mascherano, Beckham and Vidic.

   Most of them are main players, and Crystal Palace can be said to be injured.

   Even the uninjured players are all exhausted now.

   There are still two Premier League games and a Champions League final left, and no matter which one is not played well, Crystal Palace may lose the trophy.

   In view of the current situation of Crystal Palace, the good English media will naturally not miss this opportunity and take the opportunity to make a big fuss.

   "Crystal Palace have now come to a crossroads, if the remaining three games are not played well, then they may lose both Premier League and Champions League trophies at the same time."

   "Crystal Palace currently has seven generals absent due to injury (attached list), and almost all of them are main players, with more than half of their combat power lost. Whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League, the prospects for defending the title are not optimistic."

"Crystal Palace are only two points ahead of Chelsea and because they are far behind Chelsea in goal difference, if they fail to win a game in the last two rounds, the trophy is likely to go to Chelsea. in hand."

  …

   "Crystal Palace and Barcelona met again in the Champions League final. This time, the Crystal Palace led by the Chinese who were full of wounded soldiers, can still defeat Barcelona led by his former assistant Guardiola?"

  London, Chelsea Club, Ancelotti once again came to the office of CEO Peter Kenyon.

   "Peter, what's the matter with you calling me here?"

   Ancelotti is in a good mood because of Chelsea's recent performance.

  The team eliminated Crystal Palace in the FA Cup and reached the final, and the opponent in the final was Portsmouth, which was obviously inferior to itself, so Chelsea had great hopes of winning this championship trophy.

   In the Premier League, with the last two rounds remaining, Chelsea still maintains the hope of winning the championship, and this hope is not small.

   After all, as a direct competitor of Crystal Palace, Ancelotti has always been closely watching Crystal Palace's every move.

  Crystal Palace's current injury situation is no secret to him.

  Two fronts, Chelsea can at least secure a championship trophy, and may even win a double.

  It was Ancelotti's best season at Chelsea and it gave him a lot of fighting spirit.

   "Karllo, I have good news for you. With the approval of the owner, we will, in the name of Chelsea Club, provide winning bonuses to Crystal Palace's opponents Birmingham and Tottenham Hotspur in the last two rounds of the league."

   Peter Kenyon said with a smile.

   Obviously, he is also in a very good mood.

   Owner Roman Abramovich praised the team's recent performance, and his CEO position doesn't look like it will be lost.

   "Amount to give winning bonuses to other teams? Can this be done in the Premier League?"

  Ancelotti was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his ears.

   "Hahahaha, at least the FA has not expressly stipulated that this cannot be done." Peter Kenyon smiled slyly.

   "Carlo, you know, in England, there are a lot of people who are very dissatisfied with Crystal Palace's monopoly on the Premier League title. I believe that even if there are some objections, someone will eventually shut them up."

   "That's it, I see."

  Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and Ancelotti knows this well.

   What's more, this matter is beneficial to you, and you don't have to come forward yourself, why not do it?

   Soon, Chelsea Club announced on its official website: If Birmingham and Tottenham Hotspur can beat their opponents in the next game against Crystal Palace, then Chelsea Club will each provide a winning bonus of 5 million euros.

  If they can draw with Crystal Palace, then Chelsea will also offer 3 million euros each in the draw bonus.

   For a time, the entire English football world was shocked by this news.

   Reporters from major media flocked to the door of Chelsea Club to conduct interviews.

  Peter Kenyon just came out and said simply: Providing bonuses to Birmingham and Tottenham Hotspur is just to make them play hard and win, and it does not violate the principle of fair play. Then he went into hiding and stopped giving interviews.

  England's media reporters have always been watching the fun without taking it too seriously.

  …

   After they saw that Chelsea couldn't find any material, they immediately shifted their targets collectively and surrounded the gate of Crystal Palace Club.

   "Chen, those reporters have blocked the gate of our club, and they all want to interview you. What do you think now?"

  Little fat Louis ran into Chen Ran's office panting.

   "What to do with what? Ignore them!"

  Chen Ran glared at the fat boy Louis angrily.

   He is worried about the current injury situation of the team, and now Chelsea has made this move again, which makes Chen Ran very unhappy.

   "But, Chen, let's just do nothing like this? Let Chelsea give bonuses to Birmingham and Tottenham Hotspur?" Little fat Louis asked unwillingly.

   "Who says nothing?"

  Chen Ran replied sullenly, and then called Stephen and called him to his office.

"Stephen, you will publish an announcement on the club's official website later, saying that if Liverpool and Wigan Athletic can beat their opponents in the next game against Chelsea, we Crystal Palace will give them a winning bonus of 10 million euros each. "

   "If they can draw with Chelsea, we will each offer a bonus of 5 million euros for the draw."

   "Er Chen, isn't the winning bonus of 10 million euros a bit too much? In fact, we can pay the same amount as Chelsea."

  As the big housekeeper of the Crystal Palace, Stephen is always going to be fussy when it comes to spending money.

   Just now, little fat Louis had told him the current situation, and Stephen was not surprised that Chen Ran shot back.

   However, Stephen still felt a little distressed when he thought that the maximum expenditure might be an additional 20 million euros.

   "Hehe, Stephen, do you think Liverpool and Wigan Athletic are likely to beat Chelsea?"

   "Ever Wigan Athletic is unlikely, but Liverpool still have a chance to beat Chelsea."

  Stephen answered Chen Ran's question after thinking for a while, and the little fat Louis nodded again and again, obviously agreeing with Stephen's opinion.

   "Liverpool does have a chance, but I think Chelsea will win in the end."

  Chen Ran shook his head slightly, directly denying Stephen's opinion.

   "Why? Chen, since Rijkaardo took over Liverpool in the middle of the season, they have been quite impressive."

   "In addition, they spent 160 million euros in signings during the winter transfer period. Now Liverpool's strength is not worse than Chelsea, right? Even if they can't win Chelsea, there is still a great hope of a draw."

  Little Fatty Louis was a little dissatisfied, and listed his reasons for Chen Ran one by one.

   "There is only one reason why I am not optimistic about Liverpool, and that is that time is too short."

   "Excluding the goalkeeper, five of Liverpool's ten main players have just joined the team during the winter transfer, and even the head coach Rijkaardo took over the team in the middle of the season."

   "On paper, Liverpool are really strong now. But compared to Chelsea who have been working together for two or three seasons, the coordination between their main players is not skilled enough."

  …

   "Usually you can't see it when you play against a weak team, but when it's time to fight a bayonet with an opponent of comparable strength, this is fatal."

   Chen Ran's remarks immediately made the little fat Louis and Stephen stop talking.

   Chen Ran smiled slightly when he saw that the two of them didn't speak.

   "Stephen, don't worry, although I offered a bonus of 20 million, I probably won't spend a cent in the end."

   "Chen, are you so sure that Liverpool and Wigan Athletic can't get a single point against Chelsea?"

  Stephen is both happy and worried. He is happy that he doesn’t need to spend money, but he is also worried that it will affect Crystal Palace’s championship.

   "Hehe, this is just one aspect."

  Chen Ran shook his head slightly, then turned to look at the little fat Louis.

   "Louis, after Stephen announced this news, your task is to make this matter as hot as possible, so that the more people know about it, the better."

   "Not only all of England, I hope all of Europe, and even the whole world, as long as football fans, know that we and Chelsea are offering high game bonuses to each other's opponents."

   "Er Chen, do you want to engage in a public opinion war?"

  Little Fatty Louis had a very lively brain and reacted immediately.

"That's right. After all, this matter belongs to a gray area. For the FA, which aims to promote the Premier League to the world, if this matter is hyped and everyone knows it, it is not what they want to see. things."

   "Hey, Chen, what do you mean, make this a big deal, and then force the FA to stop and let Chelsea's wishful thinking fail. Am I right?"

   pointed at the little fat man Louis who smiled meanly, Chen Ran nodded slightly: "It's your kid's brain turning fast. That's what I mean, you should hurry up and operate."

   "Chen, if it's only good in Europe, if it's spread all over the world, it will probably cost a lot of money."

  Little Fatty Louis rudely reached out for money immediately.

   "Cough, our God of Wealth is here, you can ask him for it."

  Chen Ran pointed at Stephen beside him, and then added another sentence.

   "Lewis, focus on the Internet. The Internet spreads information faster and costs less than those traditional media. Find more navy, understand?"

"Okay, I know."

  If Chelsea gave Birmingham and Tottenham Hotspur a winning bonus of 5 million euros, it has shocked the entire English football.

   Then, Crystal Palace offered Liverpool and Wigan Athletic a winning bonus of 10 million euros, which is equivalent to throwing bombs into the fire.

   With the power of the Internet, this explosive news quickly spread from England all over Europe, and then began to radiate all over the world.

   It is thousands of miles away in the country. Because of the large number of Crystal Palace fans, they know about this matter no later than England fans.

   "Damn it! Chelsea is so shameless that they made such an out-of-the-box move because their boss has money, right?"

   "Hehe, didn't the person upstairs read the follow-up news? Crystal Palace immediately responded with a move. And it was more ruthless than Chelsea, and he directly refunded it twice."

   "I'm going! Is it so sturdy? I like it!"

   "That's how it should be. The current Crystal Palace is not the unknown Crystal Palace back then. Just do it if you don't agree!"

   "Cough, actually, I'm more concerned about how much money Chen Ran has now."

   "The people upstairs are thinking too much. Chen Ran is such a thief, he won't be willing to give up these unjustly wasted money."

   "What do you mean? You mean both teams will lose to Chelsea? Wigan Athletic I believe, but Liverpool can at least get a draw?"

   "I don't know. Anyway, my intuition tells me that Chen Ran doesn't have to pay the last cent."

  .
