MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 424 Earth-shaking changes
After Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Wigan Athletic, the Liverpool club's official website announced the announcement of Benitez's official dismissal late at night.
And his successor is Rijkaard, a famous Dutch star and coach who once led FC Barcelona to the La Liga title and the UEFA Champions League.
For a time, the entire English football world was shocked by this news.
Since 2004, he has been coaching the Liverpool Club for more than five years. Benitez has brought many championship trophies including the Champions League to the Liverpool Club. It can be said that he is a meritorious coach of the Liverpool Club.
Now, before halfway through this season's schedule, Yuyu was fired because of his unsatisfactory results, which surprised many people.
After all, Liverpool came close to winning the Premier League last season. Moreover, Liverpool Club was banned from signings during the summer transfer period, unable to strengthen the team's strength.
The existence of various factors makes the news of Benitez's dismissal even more shocking.
Countless media reporters were woken up from their sleep, and phone calls to inquire about news shuttled across the night sky in England.
Early the next morning, the headlines of the sports media all over England were dominated by the news of Benitez's dismissal.
Pere Guardiola, who was far away in Spain, also received the news at this time, and he quickly called Antro Enrique.
Antro Enrique was also too busy to sleep a night. When he saw that it was Pere Guardiola's phone call, he was instantly refreshed.
After connected the phone, before Pere Guardiola questioned, Antro Enrique preemptively complained.
It is said that Guardiola has been reluctant to take over Liverpool in advance, but the team's performance is getting worse and worse.
In this regard, Mr. Chairman was very angry, saying that if Liverpool did not qualify for the Champions League next season, not only he, Antro Enrique, but also Mr. Chairman himself would have to pack up and leave.
After calling again and hoping that Guardiola would take over Liverpool in advance, he had no choice but to contact other coaches.
Hearing this, Pere Guardiola suddenly remembered the phone call from Antro Enrique a while ago.
The other party did say on the phone that he hoped that his brother would take over Liverpool in advance, but this guy was talking a lot of nonsense at that time, and there was no sign of an ultimatum.
Wang Defa! This **** is playing tricks on Lao Tzu.
Pere Guardiola also reacted at this time. In fact, the opponent already has a new candidate. It's just that I use this phone to block my mouth and make myself dumb to eat Huanglian.
After hung up the phone, Pere Guardiola was so angry that he dropped several glasses in a row. He didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so he hurried to find his brother.
As soon as he entered Guardiola's house, Pere Guardiola saw his brother watching sports news on TV while having breakfast.
"Pep, you already know?"
"Understood. Pere, you came so early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet? Sit down and eat a little."
"I can't eat it. Pep, we were tricked by Liverpool Club, so you're not angry at all?"
…
picked up the cup and took a sip of milk, and Guardiola glanced at his brother unhurriedly.
"I haven't signed a contract yet. It's normal for people to change their minds. I've been with Liverpool recently. Their performance is not good, so I think they're under a lot of pressure. I don't want to take over now. It's understandable for people to find someone else."
"You're good at talking."
Pere. Guardiola still can't swallow this breath.
After all, this may be his best chance to intervene in the transfer affairs of a giant club.
Now that the chance is gone, Pere Guardiola, who is out of breath, reiterated that Antro Enrique made a little trick to him.
"It turns out that there is such a thing."
Seeing his eldest brother being played as a monkey, Guardiola was also a little angry at this time.
"Pere, don't worry, I will make Liverpool Club regret today's decision. The boss has told me many times that he hopes I will go back to take over Crystal Palace Club in the future. When that time comes, I will help you to let out this bad breath."
London, Crystal Palace Club.
As soon as Chen Ran arrived at the office in the morning, little fat Louis came in excitedly.
"Chen, did you know the big news last night?"
"Are you talking about Benitez being fired?"
"That's right. Still, it's not the best."
"Oh? What? Is there any insider here?"
Chen Ran was also aroused at this time. Everyone has the heart of gossip. Little Fatty Louis' ability to inquire about news is still very strong.
"Hey, according to reliable sources, it was not Rijkaard that Liverpool Club first contacted, but our old acquaintance Guardiola."
"It's just that Guardiola is unwilling to leave the Barcelona club now, saying that he will wait until the end of the season to talk about it."
"But Liverpool's performance is getting worse and worse, and their management can't wait, so they ran to Rijkaard to take over the team."
"Guardiola?"
Chen Ran glanced at the little fat Luis with a little surprise, but he didn't expect Liverpool Club to be quite insightful.
Fortunately, the other side still lacks a little patience, otherwise, if Guardiola runs to coach Liverpool, it will be a lot of trouble for Crystal Palace.
"Yes, it's your former assistant coach Guardiola. Chen, you have to be careful. Now there are many people optimistic about this guy, maybe other Premier League clubs will invite him to coach in the future."
When it comes to business, the fat little Louis immediately became serious.
"Other Premier League clubs? Hehe, is there a more attractive Premier League club than our Crystal Palace?"
"Er Chen, what do you mean?"
Little Fatty Louis was stunned for a moment, and asked a question in confusion.
"I told him when Guardiola went to coach the Barcelona club. After he has accumulated a certain amount of coaching experience, I hope he will come back to take over Crystal Palace."
"What? Chen? Are you kidding me?"
Little fat Louis "Zeng" rushed over, leaned in front of Chen Ran and asked in surprise.
"No kidding. It's too tiring to coach a club for a long time, and I have won the championship trophy several times. It's no fun to do the same thing over and over again."
…
"So, after the end of this season, I am ready to resign as the head coach of Crystal Palace Club and fully lead the Portuguese national team to prepare for the World Cup in South Africa. I have also thought about the candidate to take over, that is Guardiola."
"Chen, have you really decided?" Fatty Louis looked at Chen Ran with a complicated expression.
"It's been decided. I plan to lead the national team in the future. It will be easier and I will have more time to spend with Cheryl and enjoy life."
"Aren't you worried that someone else will coach Crystal Palace, and your grades will drop?" Little fat Louis still wanted to save him again.
"Don't worry. It's normal for Crystal Palace's performance to decline. It's not normal for them to monopolize various championship trophies like now."
Chen Ran walked over to the little fat Louis, patted him on the shoulder, and said something meaningful.
"Luis, our Crystal Palace club used to be too weak. Without so many championship trophies, those old giant clubs would not accept us."
"However, it's not necessarily a good thing for Crystal Palace to win the championship all the time. Let go when it's time to let go. It's not going to end well if you always eat alone. That will push everyone to the opposite of us."
"So, all we have to do in the future is to eat the biggest piece of the cake. The rest will be left for them to grab. Understand?"
"I see. Chen, your decision is right."
Little Fatty Luis nodded slightly after chewing Chen Ran's words repeatedly.
Louis, who was born in a family of brokers, knows everything in the football circle well under his father's words and deeds.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention a big business involving tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of euros.
As far as little fat Luiz heard the rumors, there are already many people in the circle who are dissatisfied with Crystal Palace's long-term monopoly on the Champions League championship. It is difficult to say whether these people will join forces behind Crystal Palace to deal with it.
Originally, Louis didn't think much about it. After all, Crystal Palace always won the championship. It is normal for some people to be envious and jealous.
But now that he heard Chen Ran's analysis, he realized the seriousness of the matter.
Little Fatty Luis had to admit that Chen Ran saw deeper and farther than him, no wonder he was the boss.
After sending the little fat Luis away, Chen Ran called Guardiola.
"Boss? You should be working at the club at this time, right? Do you have anything to do with me?"
Seeing that it was Chen Ran's call, Guardiola was also a little surprised.
"Haha, Josep, you still know me. I heard that the Liverpool club approached you?"
"Eh, boss, you all know?"
"That's right. Since you are willing to contact the Liverpool club, it means that you have the idea of returning to the Premier League to coach."
"Remember what I said to you before? How about coming back to take over Crystal Palace after this season?"
"What about you, boss?"
"I want to lead the Portuguese national team to prepare for the World Cup in South Africa. And coaching the club is too tiring. I plan to lead the national team in the future. With you as the head coach of Crystal Palace Club, I can rest assured."
…
"boss"
Hearing that Chen Ran was going to retreat bravely, he handed over the crystal palace to himself. How much trust is this? Guardiola was a little choked up for a while.
"It's all big men, let's not mother-in-law or mother-in-law. Would you like to have a good time." Chen Ran asked while the iron was hot.
"I do!"
Guardiola quickly agreed.
He is not the rookie who had no independent coaching experience two years ago.
When he left Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran wanted him to take over Crystal Palace, but Guardiola was afraid that he would mess up and did not dare to agree.
The coaching experience in Barcelona in the past two seasons has made Guardiola much more confident now.
When Chen Ran made the same invitation again, he gave a different answer.
After answering Chen Ran's call, Guardiola couldn't hold back his excitement and called his elder brother Pere Guardiola over.
"Peret, the boss called me just now and invited me back to coach Crystal Palace next season."
"What? Pep, are you serious?"
Pere Guardiola, who was originally depressed because of the Liverpool club, couldn't believe his ears.
"It's true, Pere. And I've promised the boss that I'll go back and take over Crystal Palace as soon as the season is over."
"Hahahaha, great! Pep, I now think I should thank Liverpool Club for changing its mind."
In just a few days, the change from **** to heaven made Pere Guardiola happy.
"Hehe, Perey, don't worry, I'll take revenge for what they did to you."
"Of course. Not to mention Liverpool, even if you look at the world, few teams are opponents of Crystal Palace."
After getting Guardiola, Chen Ran called Stephen to his office, and then told Stephen about his decision again.
The buttocks determine the head, the position is different, and the angle of considering the problem is also different.
"Chen, after you don't become the head coach of Crystal Palace Club, our sponsorship fee may drop. You have to be mentally prepared for this."
"That's exactly what I called you to say. You go back and sort out the Crystal Palace club's sponsorship contracts and see which ones are about to expire."
"Whether it's a contract renewal or a new sponsor, it must be done before the end of the season. Understand?"
"Uh, I understand."
Stephen blinked, only two words "Jian (tian) business (cai in his mind!
One game after another, many people do not know that the future pattern of the entire world football has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few days.
On December 20th, the eighteenth round of the Premier League began again. This time, Crystal Palace will go to the away game against Wolves.
With the goals of Yaya Toure and Cavani, Crystal Palace easily won the opponent 2:0 away.
At the same time as he got three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Chicken Blood Card" from the system.
In other matches in this round of the Premier League, Liverpool, who has just changed coaches, is particularly attractive.
As a result, they lost to Portsmouth cleanly 2-0 away, and Rijkaard suffered a sap in his first game in charge.
Chelsea beat West Ham United 2:1 away, Manchester United beat Fulham 3:0 away, Manchester City beat Sunderland 4:3 at home, and Arsenal also beat Heath 3:0 at Highbury Stadium. Seoul City.
After the 18th round, Crystal Palace still leads Chelsea with a narrow three-point lead at the top of the table.
The Liverpool club is getting further and further away from the Champions League place.
