MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 373 My biggest regret now is not moving to Crystal Palace

   Chapter 373 What I regret most now is not transferring to Crystal Palace

  The English media lamented the result of the Crystal Palace-Liverpool game.

   "It's the same result again, whether it's Chelsea, Manchester United or Liverpool, none of them are up for grabs."

   "Faced with the defending Premier League champions Crystal Palace, the veteran giants Liverpool have no power to fight back. It seems that this season's Premier League champions may fall into the hands of Crystal Palace again."

   "Benitez wanted to learn the bus tactics of Chelsea and Lyon, but unfortunately, Crystal Palace managed to break through the line of defense in the end, and it fell short."

   "According to the latest data from the gaming company, after Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace is far ahead of other teams in this season's Premier League title odds."

   "Has the Premier League really entered the era of Chinese rule?"

   And thousands of miles away in the country, countless Crystal Palace fans also watched this game about the title of Premier League this season.

  After the game, the fans still rushed to the post bar of Crystal Palace to pour water.

   With Crystal Palace now in full swing, their numbers of fans around the world are growing rapidly.

   Especially in China, because of Chen Ran's relationship, domestic fans have a natural affection for Crystal Palace.

   Coupled with the blessing of one championship trophy after another, Crystal Palace has now surpassed many old European giants and has become the most popular club with the largest number of fans.

   "After winning Liverpool, Crystal Palace's defending Premier League title this season seems to have no suspense."

   "Cough, don't lose the character upstairs. This season's schedule is not even halfway through, so it's too early to say that."

   "That's right, it's better to keep a low profile. Making a fortune in silence is the king's way."

   "Low-key! Crystal Palace has won the Premier League for four consecutive championships, is it low-key?"

   "The upstairs is justified. We Crystal Palace have already set the record of consecutive championships in the Premier League, so we should have this kind of domineering."

   "That's right, Crystal Palace's goal is to be champions, if anyone refuses to accept it, **** him!"

   "Haha, do you know what the English side said? They said that the Premier League has entered an era of Chinese rule."

   "I'll go, is it true? You didn't make up the one upstairs, did you?"

   "If you don't believe me, go over the wall and go to the media website in England."

   "Damn it, that's what I really said. I also said that Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool did not have a high profile, they were all scolding. Hahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter."

   "Chen Ran is really amazing, does this count as going to the birthplace of modern football to smash the field?"

   "Shocked, the descendants of Cuju dominate the birthplace of modern football!"

   "Does the guy upstairs work in the UC shock department?"

   "Guys, how about I go and translate the comments of those British guys, how about some post-game dessert for you?"

   "Good idea, good man upstairs, hurry up and hurry up."

   "Quick change, can't sleep at night!"

   After the crucial game against Liverpool, Crystal Palace got a week off.

  On December 20th, Crystal Palace ushered in the eighteenth round of the Premier League.

  This time, they will be at home against Sunderland.

There was no suspense in the game. With Chen Ran sending all the main players, with goals from Messi, Tony, Modric and Thiago Silva, Crystal Palace beat Sunderland 4:1 at home .

   In other Premier League matches this round, there is also a strong dialogue that is very interesting.

  Liverpool did not fall down after losing to Crystal Palace. Instead, they defeated their opponents 2:1 in the away game against Arsenal.

   In addition, Chelsea also beat Everton 1:0 away, Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 1:0 at Old Trafford.

  Manchester City, led by Mark Hughes, lost 1-2 away to West Bromwich Albion, who are currently at the bottom of the Premier League, and fell into the relegation zone.

   Chen Ran was also very surprised that Mark Hughes had not been swept out of the house by Karduen Al Mubarak.

   However, the little fat man Louis, who was in charge of gathering intelligence in Crystal Palace, quickly brought him the answer.

   "Chen, according to reliable sources, Manchester City is now contacting Inter Milan's head coach Mancini, hoping that the other side will come to replace Mark Hughes now, but the other side refused."

   "Oh? Really? It seems that Mancini's brain is still clear, knowing that Manchester City is now a fire pit, whoever jumps will be unlucky."

   Chen Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he mentioned Manchester City, he suddenly thought of a player.

   "Luis, what about the Belgian kid that Manchester City took away from us at a huge cost during the summer transfer period?"

   "Belgian kid? Oh, you mean that De Bruyne?"

   Hearing this long-lost name, the little fat man was stunned for a moment.

   "Yes, it's him. I don't seem to have seen this De Bruyne in Manchester City's lineup for a long time."

   "Oh, of course Mark Hughes won't send De Bruyne to play."

  Little Fatty Louis sneered, and continued disdainfully: "Now this Belgian child has become one of the important evidences of Mark Hughes' incompetence, and he can't wait to make De Bruyne disappear from his eyes."

   "Is it that serious?"

"It's that serious. After Mark Hughes took De Bruyne from us at a high price, he was put into Manchester City's starting lineup, regardless of the fact that the kid was only 17 years old and had no experience in senior team games. "

   "We all know how intense the Premier League is. Of course, De Bruyne, a kid, can't adapt now. After making mistakes in a few games and causing the team to concede goals, Mark Hughes didn't dare to use him anymore."

   "It is said that De Bruyne's agent is now pestering Mark Hughes, and if De Bruyne is not used, he will be sold to other clubs."

  Since the Abu Dhabi consortium joined the Manchester City Club, Chen Ran has raised the importance of Manchester City to the same level as Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, so the little fat Louis has also collected a lot of information about the Manchester City Club.

   "Did Mark Hughes agree?"

"At least not yet. However, I estimate that this is not something he can sell if he wants to. After all, he spent 40 million euros in real money, and with De Bruyne's current performance, even if he sells it at a discount, he probably won't be able to sell it. Which nemesis is willing to take over."

   "If the price drops further, then Mark Hughes will not be able to explain to his boss. Even if the Abu Dhabi consortium is rich, it cannot tolerate losing tens of millions of euros just by investing in a football club."

   Talking about the transfer, the little fat Louis talked so eloquently that even Chen Ran nodded.

   "Louis, what do you think Mark Hughes will do with De Bruyne in the end?"

   "According to my judgment, Mark Hughes is likely to loan De Bruyne to another league team for a period of time."

   "In this way, if De Bruyne can be kicked out, the Manchester City club can take it back and continue to use it. He Mark Hughes also proved that his acquisition decision was correct."

   "If De Bruyne can't be kicked out, then Mark Hughes is likely to keep him out on loan."

   "So far away from the attention of the Manchester City owner and the English media, when everyone gradually forgets this person in two years, then quietly sell De Bruyne at a low price."

  Little fat Luis is worthy of being from a family of agents, and he knows all the tricks in player transfers.

  The possible actions Mark Hughes analyzed is exactly the same as what Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho did to De Bruyne in his previous life.

   "Hehe, Luis, your analysis is very reasonable. However, it also depends on whether Mark Hughes can continue to stay as the head coach of Manchester City Club."

   "That's true. Manchester City are now in the relegation zone. As long as Mancini nods, Mark Hughes will probably pack up and leave immediately."

"So, Luis, we have to hurry up and let De Bruyne leave Manchester City, even if it's just on loan. Otherwise, if Mancini really takes over Manchester City now, if he reuses De Bruyne, then we don't have it. Got his chance."

   "Er Chen, are you still optimistic about De Bruyne? It turns out that he can't adapt to the Premier League."

  Little Fatty Louis scratched his big head and looked at Chen Ran puzzled.

   "Why did you make the same mistake as Mark Hughes? De Bruyne is only 17 years old now, don't you think he will only be at this level in the future?" Chen Ran glared at the little fat man angrily.

   "Understood, you are the best at picking players. If you need me to do anything, just say it."

   "You go to De Bruyne's agent and tell him that he must let De Bruyne leave Manchester City during the winter transfer period, even on loan. In the loan contract, it is best to include a buyout clause."

   "You tell De Bruyne's agent that Crystal Palace is still interested in De Bruyne. As long as he executes according to our plan, we will bring De Bruyne back to Crystal Palace in the future."

   "Ok, I know what to do."

  Manchester, De Bruyne's home.

  De Bruyne sat down again with his father, Herwig, and his agent, DeCoster.

   "Mr. DeCoster, how's your talk with Mark Hughes?"

  Herwig asked bluntly. He was very anxious about his son's current situation at Manchester City.

   "Not so good. Manchester City is now in the relegation zone in the Premier League, and Mark Hughes is so devastated that he doesn't care about Kevin's affairs at all."

   "I managed to block Mark Hughes, but before he could say a word, he was called over by the chairman of the Manchester City Club."

   DeCoster spread his hands and looked at De Bruyne and his son helplessly.

   "Then can't just waste it like this? Kevin's age is the golden age of rising balls. If he keeps sitting on the bench and doesn't get the chance to play, he will be useless in his life."

   Herwig was a little excited.

  If Mark Hughes was in front of him now, he might have punched him.

   Originally, Crystal Palace, the strongest team in the world, took a fancy to his son, and the whole family was excited.

   Just when De Bruyne was looking forward to playing at Crystal Palace, Manchester City suddenly stepped in.

   And snatched De Bruyne from Crystal Palace for an eye-popping 40 million euros.

   As a young player in the youth team of the Genk Club, De Bruyne has a pitiful voice in this transfer.

   Coupled with the rhetoric of Mark Hughes, he said that although Crystal Palace is the strongest team in the world now, but the team is full of big-name stars, 17-year-old De Bruyne went to Crystal Palace to play at all.

   It's better to come to Manchester City, which is in the middle of the Premier League. The competition here is not so fierce and it is more suitable for De Bruyne's growth. Moreover, there is also the strong financial support of the Abu Dhabi consortium, and the future is unlimited. De Bruyne was fooled into Manchester City.

   Seeing Herwig yelling at Mark Hughes there, DeCoster also touched his nose in embarrassment.

   In De Bruyne’s move to Manchester City, he also has a lot of responsibility.

  Because Mark Hughes promised that as long as De Bruyne was brought to Manchester City, he would get a huge commission.

   Therefore, in front of De Bruyne and his son, he also helped the Manchester City club.

   Just as DeCoster was busy comforting De Bruyne’s father, his phone suddenly rang.

   Seeing the number on the phone screen, DeCoster was instantly refreshed.

   "Shh, it's the call of Crystal Palace Club's sports manager Louis Figuere."

   At this moment, Herwig closed his mouth immediately, and looked nervously at DeCoster's phone with De Bruyne.

   Are things turning around?

  Crystal Palace have not given up on De Bruyne?

   "Hello Mr. Ferger, I'm DeCoster."

  The time of the call passed minute by minute, and De Bruyne and his father realized for the first time what it means to "live like a year".

   After finally waiting for DeCoster to hang up the phone, the young and impatient De Bruyne couldn't help but ask first.

   "Mr. DeCoster, what did Mister Figuere say? Is it about me?"

   "Haha, Kevin, why did Mr. Ferger call me, not for your business?"

   With the growing strength of the Crystal Palace Club, the little fat Luis is now rising, and he has become a big man in the eyes of many players and agents.

   Seeing that De Bruyne and his son were both looking forward and apprehensive, DeCoster did not continue to whet their appetites.

"Mr. Figel said that the chairman and head coach of Crystal Palace Club, Mr. Chen Ran, personally told him that he was still very optimistic about Kevin. So, Mr. Figel called and asked me, Kevin, are you interested in joining Crystal Palace? club?"

   "Yes, of course there is. What I regret most now is why I didn't transfer to Crystal Palace in the summer!"

   Before DeCoster could finish his words, De Bruyne stood up with a bang, his face flushed.
