MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 31 Empty Gloves White Wolf

   Chapter 31 Empty Gloves White Wolf

  Laporta was also taken aback when he received the news from Luis through his father's relationship.

   The owner of a small English Championship team Crystal Palace said that he wanted to discuss a big business with himself?

   Just been elected president of Barcelona, ​​one of the world's top clubs, and it was Laporta who was so proud of himself that he almost laughed.

   What kind of cat and dog dare to come to me.

   casually glanced at the information about Chen Ran found by his assistant, and Laporta was about to throw it into the trash.

   Suddenly, he was attracted by Chen Ran's other identity.

   The head coach of Crystal Palace Club?

   Club owner and head coach?

  Laporta's eyes widened and he took a closer look.

   read it right, the club owner and head coach.

  Suddenly, Laporta became interested in Chen Ran again.

  Being able to do such a wonderful thing, this Chen Ran must be very interesting, may wish to meet.

   In the middle of the week, after Chen Ran handed over the training to the three of Guardiola, he flew to Barcelona with the little fat man.

   When Laporta saw Chen Ran, he was taken aback again.

  Young, really too young, probably not yet thirty years old.

   Laporta's assistant probably didn't take Chen Ran seriously. The information collected for Laporta was very simple, and he didn't even have Chen Ran's age.

   "Hello Mr. Laporta, nice to meet you."

   "Hello, Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to be so young. You are probably the youngest owner and head coach of a football club in the world."

   "Haha, this is probably because there is no club owner who will be the head coach himself."

   "What do you think, Mr. Chen?"

  Laporta took advantage of the situation to ask the question in his heart, which was the main reason why he was willing to meet Chen Ran today.

"The reason is very simple. I like football, so I also took the coaching certificate. But at my age, I am not a player, and it is estimated that no professional club will ask me to be the head coach. So, I had to buy a club. , and then appointed himself."

   "Hahaha, Mr. Chen is indeed a very interesting person."

  Laporta was amused and laughed, and at the same time left the impression that Chen Ran was a rich man.

   Buying a team at the first sign of disagreement, even though it’s just a Championship club, that’s not something ordinary people can do.

   A good start and a pleasant chat for both parties.

   Before long, Laporta brought the subject back to the point.

   "Mr. Chen, the news I received is that you want to discuss a big business with me, right?"

   "That's right. Mr. Laporta, what do you think about the La Masia youth academy in Barcelona?"

   "La Masia?"

   As soon as he heard the name, Laporta instantly became tense.

   Since Laporta was elected president of Barcelona and brought in Brazilian star Ronaldinho from Paris Saint-Germain, his popularity in Barcelona has reached its peak, which can be said to be smooth sailing.

   However, the only trouble is that the only trouble is from the La Masia youth training camp.

   It’s not that the La Masia youth academy did a bad job.

   On the contrary, they have done a great job and cultivated many outstanding young talents.

   has even become famous and attracted the attention of many European giants.

   Each of these giant clubs hopes to pick their favorite target from here and take him away.

   Of course, it is better to take away for free.

  Especially these British clubs headed by Arsenal and Manchester United are extremely shameless.

   Always thinking of taking advantage of the difference in the laws of the two countries, a white wolf with empty gloves.

  Because, according to Spanish law, you can sign a professional contract when you are 18 years old; in the UK, you only need to be 16 years old.

   That is to say, for the players trained by the La Masia youth academy, before the age of 18, Barcelona cannot sign a professional contract with them.

   Without the constraints of a professional contract, they are all free agents and can leave for free at any time.

  Laporta has received an alert from the La Masia youth academy, and many good candidates have been targeted by English clubs and are likely to be in close contact.

   Like Fabregas, like Pique, like.

   Laporta was troubled by this.

  These are the talented seedlings that he has worked so hard to cultivate, but he can only watch them being kidnapped, and he can't do anything about it.

  Because Laporta can't give any promises, neither can he sign a professional contract, and there is no guarantee that they can play in the first team. (Messi is a special, difficult to copy)

  Barcelona is a giant and a team that fights for the championship every year.

  The pressure of performance makes it impossible for the head coach of the first team to promise to use these children who have just turned 16 years old.

   Therefore, the current La Masia youth training camp has become Laporta's heart disease.

   At this time, Chen Ran suddenly mentioned La Masia, and he was also from an English club, which made Laporta's nerves tense immediately.

   "La Masia is the top football academy in the world and the pride of Barcelona. I will not allow anyone to spoil it."

   Looking at Laporta, who instantly turned into a Spanish bullfight, Chen Ran was secretly delighted, and it seemed that he really hit his sore spot.

   "Mr. Laporta, I heard that La Masia has been in a lot of trouble recently."

   "What do you mean? Mr. Chen, what do you want to say?"

  Laporta's face sank, and the situation where he had a good conversation with Chen Ran before seemed to have never happened.

   "Mr. Laporta, you misunderstood. In fact, I came to Barcelona this time to help you solve the trouble."

  Chen Ran smiled and waved his hand, he knew that Laporta thought he was here to dig a corner.

   "Oh? What trouble can you help me with?"

   Although he heard Chen Ran say this, Laporta did not let his guard down, staring at Chen Ran's eyes with a serious look.

   "I know that some English clubs want to take advantage of the legal differences between Spain and the UK to take away your hard-earned players from La Masia for free, right?"

   "Yes, Mr. Chen's news is very well-informed."

  Laporta nodded slightly, Chen Ran is also the owner of the English club, so it is not surprising to know the news.

   "I can help you plug this loophole."

  Chen Ran chuckled and threw out his trump card.

   "What? Are you sure you're not kidding?"

  Laporta suddenly straightened his waist, leaned forward, stared at Chen Ran and said word by word.

   "Of course not. How could I possibly joke about such a thing?"

   "Then tell me how to plug this loophole."

  Laporta was still a little unconvinced.

   The problem that he has had a headache for for a long time, this young Chinese can solve it?

   "I can sign a buyback clause with Barcelona."

"continue."

"My plan is: you persuade those children to join me in Crystal Palace, and then I will sign a buy-back clause with you. When these players turn 18, Barcelona have the right to buy back these players at an agreed price once, Crystal Palace cannot refuse."

   Having said this, Chen Ran stopped and looked at Laporta thoughtfully.

   picked up the coffee on the table and took a leisurely sip.

   Really fragrant!
