That night, public opinion exploded.
An originally unremarkable press conference suddenly became the focus of TV and the Internet that night.
Keywords such as Chen Ran, Simeone and Crystal Palace have repeatedly appeared in various TV programs and major online communities.
"Boss, I've caused trouble for you."
Although Simeone does not think he has done anything wrong, Chen Ran has now become a target for speaking up for him, which makes him feel grateful and guilty.
"It's okay, it's not your fault in the first place."
Chen Ran patted Simone on the shoulder and comforted him.
In fact, before introducing Simeone, he had already anticipated that a situation similar to today would arise, and he had prepared several countermeasures for this.
Now it seems that it is time to open the No. 3 tip bag.
"Stephen, doesn't Sky TV want to give me an exclusive interview? Tell them that I will be available for an interview tomorrow."
"What? Tomorrow?"
Stephen was surprised. Chen Ran is now on the cusp of the storm. Is this the right time?
"Yes, it's tomorrow. Now is when I'm at my peak, and some words are most effective when I say them."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
After explaining to Stephen, Chen Ran looked at Simone again.
"Diego, you haven't been anywhere except the training base in recent days. The British paparazzi are very powerful, I guess you have been targeted by them now."
"Don't worry, boss, I know what to do, and I can use this time to design a play style for the team."
Simone nodded, and he knew Chen Ran's intentions very well. He is not a young boy, he still knows his priorities clearly.
"Josep, please spend more time with Diego these days. You two are about the same age, both have just arrived in London, and both speak Spanish, so you can take care of each other."
"Okay, boss."
"Gareth, I'll leave the team's locker room to you. This time there is a big change between the old and the new, and we must pay special attention to the relationship between the new players and the old players."
"Don't worry, boss, leave the locker room to me. I have experience in this area."
It was late at night, and after Cheryl fell asleep after being fed, Chen Ran quietly came to the study.
Lighting up a cigarette, he began to take stock of his plan to see if there were any omissions.
Introducing Simeone may bring big trouble to himself, which Chen Ran had expected.
But why does he still want to win Simeone?
In fact, Chen Ran's goal is not only for the Crystal Palace, but also for the future national football team.
Even in 2022, the national football team still has not found a style of play that suits them.
Either you fight against others and are violently abused by others;
Either you just defend but don't fight back, and get killed.
In Chen Ran's view, Simeone's defensive counterattack tactics led by Atletico Madrid are the most suitable for the national football team.
If you just talk about the results of coaching the team, then Guardiola is obviously above Simeone.
But can Guardiola's passing and controlling players in French football be able to play?
Chen Ran knew it was impossible even with his butt.
Among the opponents in Asia, including Japan, South Korea, Iran, Australia, and Saudi Arabia, which one is not stronger than the national football team?
Under the terrifying shadow of Barcelona and Real Madrid, Simeone was able to lead Atletico Madrid to steal the La Liga championship at intervals, which is enough to show that Simeone's tactics are extremely practical and he is particularly good at defeating the weak.
However, if things develop normally, the possibility of Simeone coaching the national football team is almost zero.
For some people, money can seduce them; but there are others who cannot be tempted by money alone.
So, Chen Ran took action.
Even though he may have to pay a high price, he decided to take action.
Although Chen Ran also wants to personally lead the national football team to the World Cup, who knows whether he has the talent to be a coach after his rebirth?
Everything will be successful if it is prepared in advance, and it will be ruined if it is not prepared in advance.
In order to realize your ideal, there is no harm in preparing two sets of plans.
In this way, many things need to be prepared in advance, and it is too late to improvise.
The more difficult Simeone's current situation is, the more valuable his attitude of supporting him becomes, and the greater the favor he owes himself.
If you can make Simeone owe him a big favor, and then supplement it with a generous salary. With a two-pronged approach, maybe he can be lured to coach the national football team when the time comes.
So, Chen Ran has already prepared a draft for tomorrow's exclusive interview with Sky TV.
Applause for Simeone and seize the moral high ground. This is the most important core.
Early the next morning, Sky TV kept previewing the exclusive interview with Chen Ran in the program.
The interview was conducted live, with no editing throughout.
Furthermore, Sky TV sent their star actress Christy Gallagher for an interview.
This immediately attracted the attention of countless English people, even if he was not a football fan.
When he learned that the person interviewing him was Christy Gallagher, Chen Ran suddenly felt certain. It seemed that Sky TV did not want to make the matter a big deal.
Jisty Gallagher is known for her light and gentle hosting style and is unique in the field of football hosting, which is dominated by men. Coupled with her beautiful appearance and good figure, Sky TV has attracted many viewers who are not fans.
The interview started with Kirsty Gallagher's usual light and gentle hosting style. She asked Chen Ran about the process of joining Crystal Palace, the club's plans, the recruitment situation for the new season, etc., as if everything was peaceful. .
But not long after, Kirsty Gallagher seemed to feel that the heat was almost over, so she changed the subject and revealed her sharp fangs.
"Mr. Chen, do you know what happened between David Beckham and Diego Simeone?"
"Know."
As soon as he heard this question, Chen Ran immediately realized that the highlight of the day was coming.
"Then why did you bring in Simeone?"
"I think that happened five years ago, so it shouldn't have any impact."
"But this is obviously not the case. In the 1998 World Cup, England was eliminated because of Beckham's red card. Many England fans still can't let go."
"I believe that Mr. Beckham has fully realized the mistakes he made. After all, he was still young at the time. It is understandable that young people can sometimes be a little impulsive."
"Mr. Chen, many British fans believe that Simeone caused Beckham's red card."
"Oh? Is that so? I'm sorry. In 1998, I was just an ordinary fan, watching the game in front of the TV like everyone else. Judging from the TV pictures at the time, this was a very common situation after being violated. Are there any details about the revenge that were not shown on TV?"
"Well, that's not the case."
"That's good. In fact, the reason why I am willing to accept an exclusive interview with Sky TV today is because I want to use your platform to express my inner thoughts. Is that okay, Jisti?"
"Of course, please tell me, Mr. Chen."
"As everyone knows, I come from a country where football is underdeveloped and have not been able to enter the World Cup finals for many years."
"Every time I am eliminated from the World Cup preliminaries, like everyone else, I will scold the players who made mistakes and the stupid coaches."
"But when the next World Cup preliminaries begin, I will return to the TV to cheer for the team. Even if the player who made the mistake before is still on the team, I will still cheer for him."
"My country finally made it to the World Cup last year. Although we lost all three games, I was still very happy because we had made history."
"So, since I love football, I decided to do something. So, I came to the birthplace of modern football and bought the Crystal Palace Club."
"In my opinion, the Premier League is the best football league in the world. It is open and inclusive and can attract the best players from all over the world to join."
"Here, I implore everyone to forget the past, look to the future, and let what happens on the football field, stay on the football field."
"I believe that with such a good league foundation, England's players will become stronger and stronger. It is only a matter of time before we win the World Cup again."
