Chapter 398 Rivers and lakes are sophistication

  In the conference room of Crystal Palace Club, both Southgate and Simeone were frowning at Manchester United, the team’s last-round opponent.

  Crystal Palace is now only two points ahead of Liverpool. Although they still have the initiative to win the title, the situation has become quite delicate.

  Especially in the last few rounds of the league, Crystal Palace continued to draw draws, while Liverpool continued to beat their opponents by big scores.

  Under this change, Liverpool has already suppressed the Crystal Palace in momentum, and it is very likely to replicate the miracle of Yin Stambul in the Premier League.

“Boss, it shouldn’t be a problem for Liverpool to win Tottenham Hotspur in the last round of the league. So, we have to beat Manchester United. Liverpool’s goal difference has already surpassed us now. If it is a tie, then The trophy will go to Liverpool.”

   Southgate broke his fingers to settle accounts for Chen Ran.

   “The key is that Manchester United can’t play well.”

Simeone sighed, “If it was before, it would not be difficult for us to win Manchester United. But now the core offensive players in the team are basically injured and absent, relying only on those young people who are unstable, I really have nothing. confidence.”

   Watching his two two assistants groaning there, Chen Ran was not in a hurry at all.

   “Calm down, don’t panic, the sky hasn’t fallen yet. Besides, how do you know that Manchester United will attack us with all their strength in the last round?”

“what?”

   Southgate and Simone looked up at Chen Ran in surprise at the same time.

   “Boss, what do you mean? Could it be?”

  Simeone looked like he was hesitant to speak.

   “Bastard, what are you thinking about?”

   Chen Ran glared at Simone angrily.

   “What do you think, between us Crystal Palace and Liverpool, which one does Ferguson hate more?”

   “Everguson should still hate Liverpool a little more.”

   Southgate, as an Englishman, obviously has more say in this matter.

   “Boss, do you mean that Ferguson may not necessarily attack us with all his strength because he doesn’t want to see Liverpool win the Premier League title? Is this possible?”

  Simeone also reacted at this time, looking at Chen Ran in disbelief.

   “It could really happen.”

   Chen Ran hasn’t answered Simone’s question yet, but Southgate directly gave a positive answer.

“Diego, you may not know the relationship between Ferguson and Liverpool. You know, since the establishment of the Premier League, Liverpool have not won a league title, and Ferguson would not want to see Liverpool break this embarrassment in front of him anyway. record of.”

   Seeing his two assistants swept away the frowning faces before, Chen Ran nodded in satisfaction.

   “Gareth, Diego, with all that said, I just want you to know that the situation is not as bad as you think.”

   “Of course, we can’t pin all our hopes on Ferguson. Let me tell you the good news, Messi is ready to play.”

   “Only, if all goes well, I hope that Messi can come back in the Champions League final, which may surprise Josep.”

   “Haha, this is really good news. Boss, you really have left behind.”

   “I really want to see Josep’s expression when he finds out that Messi is back from injury.”

  In Manchester, more than 300 kilometers from London, in Ferguson’s office, Manchester United CEO Ed Woodward looked at the frowning Ferguson with a funny face.

   The reason is very simple, because Manchester United’s opponent in the final round of the Premier League is Crystal Palace.

  If they beat Crystal Palace and Liverpool also win, then Liverpool will stage a super comeback and win the first Premier League trophy in the club’s history.

   And such a result is something that Ferguson, who regards Liverpool as his mortal enemy, absolutely does not want to see it.

   However, Ferguson’s relationship with Crystal Palace and Chen Ran was just as bad.

   As far as Ed Woodward knows, Ferguson has been digging holes for Crystal Palace in recent years.

   This is also an important reason why Ferguson is now in a tangle. Both teams are annoying, and he is not happy no matter who wins the championship.

   “Sir Ferguson, if you’re really undecided, I suggest just going with the flow. The game is played as usual. Whether Crystal Palace can continue to defend the Premier League title depends on whether they have the ability.”

   “Well, Ed, you’re right.”

   Hearing Ed Woodward’s suggestion, Ferguson turned his head and gave him a stern look.

   However, things are far from being as simple as Ed Woodward thought.

   A week later, on May 24, to be fair, the 38th round of the Premier League is played simultaneously.

  Crystal Palace take on old rivals Manchester United at the Emirates, while Liverpool take on Tottenham at Anfield.

  Fans all over England, and even all over the world, have focused their attention on these two games.

   Contrary to everyone’s expectations, there are more than half of the substitute players in Manchester United’s starting lineup.

   “Whatthefuck!”

   Ed Woodward, who did not go to London with the team, was at home drinking wine while preparing to watch the game.

   When he saw the Manchester United starting lineup, all the wine in his mouth spit out.

   “This old thing, even me!

  ”

   Ed Woodward was so angry that he almost threw his wine glass at the TV.

   On the Crystal Palace side, Southgate and Simeone, who also saw Manchester United’s starting lineup, looked at each other and smiled.

   “The boss is really amazing! Ferguson’s reaction was completely expected by the boss.” Simeone couldn’t help sighing sincerely.

   “Hehe, this is just a normal operation for the boss. Liverpool was unlucky enough, and was sold by Ferguson. The next time I have a chance to compete for the Premier League championship, I don’t know what year I have to wait.”

   Southgate had time to fight for Liverpool at this time.

   Thousands of miles away in China, countless Crystal Palace fans are also paying attention to the two Premier League championship matches.

   Unlike Ed Woodward, the Crystal Palace fans went crazy with laughter when they saw Manchester United’s starting lineup.

   “Fuck! It seems that Ferguson really loves Chen Ran!”

   “Come on, the true love of shit. In fact, it should be that Ferguson really hates Liverpool.”

   “Hahahaha, the truth upstairs. It seems that Ferguson would rather let Crystal Palace win the championship than let Liverpool win the first Premier League championship trophy in the club’s history.”

   “Ferguson’s intention to do this is too obvious, isn’t he afraid of being held accountable by the FA?”

   “What’s the responsibility? Manchester United has no hope of winning the championship now, and they have already won the Champions League qualification for next season. Isn’t it good to train the substitute players and newcomers at this time?”

   “That’s right. Are you a scumbag for so many years as an old Sir? As long as the Manchester United players play seriously, no one can do anything about him.”

   “Team’s Liverpool are also a bit miserable. As a Crystal Palace fan, I feel a little sympathetic to them.”

   “It doesn’t matter, even if they get the runner-up, it is their best result in the Premier League for many years. I believe they will be satisfied.”

   “You are too bad upstairs! However, I think so too.”

   “Hey, me too.”

   In a VIP box at the Emirates Stadium, Tom Hicks and George Gillette, who were in the starting lineup of Manchester United, were also very angry.

  Although they have signed an agreement with the Qatar consortium to transfer all the shares of Liverpool Club, these two guys have also kept an eye on them.

Before   , in order to cash out as soon as possible, they were forced to reduce the price of Liverpool Club. But in the contract, they also insisted on adding an additional clause.

   That is, if the Liverpool club can win the Premier League championship this season, then the Qatar consortium will buy the Liverpool club at the original price.

   The difference in the middle is as high as 20 million US dollars. For Tom Hicks and George Gillette, who are now in debt, this is a lifesaver.

  What Ferguson is doing now is stealing money from Tom Hicks and George Gillette. For a moment, these two guys wanted to find someone to kill Ferguson.

  There is nothing to say about the game itself. Manchester United, who played all the main players, may not be able to play Crystal Palace, let alone Manchester United who are mainly substitute players.

  In the end, with two headers from Thiago Silva and Dzeko, Crystal Palace beat Manchester United 2:1 at home.

   On the Liverpool side, although they also won Tottenham Hotspur 3:1 at Anfield. But in the end, they finished second in the Premier League with a gap of two points.

   “Ding, congratulations to the host for winning this season’s Premier League championship trophy, with a bonus of 20 million euros!”

   Familiar celebration ceremony, Chen Ran is now accustomed to being thrown into the air by the team members as long as he wins the championship.

  Since you can’t resist, you can only learn to enjoy it.

   After the referee blew the game, Ferguson walked straight into the player tunnel. He was not in the mood to stay and watch the Crystal Palace award ceremony.

   However, he was quite satisfied that Liverpool did not get the first Premier League trophy in the club’s history.

  Ed Woodward, who was far away in Manchester, turned off the TV angrily after seeing that Crystal Palace did not beat Manchester United unexpectedly.

  Meng took a gulp of red wine, and Ed Woodward spread out on the sofa.

  He, the CEO of Manchester United Club, looks like a brilliant man on the surface, but in fact, he is splinted at both ends for three days.

   The boss Glazer’s family is urging every day for money, and the respected head coach Ferguson doesn’t take him seriously.

  Take today’s incident as an example, Ferguson was completely unspoken, obviously guarding him.

   Ed Woodward, who was getting more and more angry, opened another bottle of red wine and got himself drunk.

   In the VIP box at the Emirates Stadium, Tom Hicks and George Gillette did not leave immediately after the game this time.

  The two watched the award ceremony of the Crystal Palace quietly, and the box was quiet and scary.

   “Tom, it seems that our venture to invest in English football this time has failed completely.”

  George Gillette’s voice was full of loneliness.

   “Be content. At least we can settle our debts and not end up in bankruptcy.”

  Tom Hicks smiled helplessly and looked around the Emirates Stadium, which had fallen into a sea of ​​joy.

  Perhaps, this is the last time they will be on an English football pitch.

   is thousands of miles away in China. Although Crystal Palace has won many Premier League titles, the fans are still excited.

   “Haha, Crystal Palace’s five consecutive Premier League championships, scatter flowers.”

   “With so many main players out due to injury, Crystal Palace can still defend the Premier League title, Chen Ran is really awesome!”

   “Cough, brothers, don’t forget, the Premier League champion of Crystal Palace, Sir Alex Ferguson also contributed.”

   “Hahahahaha yes, thanks to Sir Alex Ferguson.”

   “Liverpool fans are already crying in the toilet!”

   “Fuck, you guys are killing people.”

   “Yes. Low-key, low-key, understand?”

   “No way, we also want to keep a low profile, but our strength doesn’t allow it.”

   After the award ceremony, Chen Ran and the Crystal Palace players did not celebrate.

  Because in three days, they will compete with Barcelona for the Champions League trophy this season.

   This time the Champions League final will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy.

  Barcelona, ​​led by Guardiola, had a huge advantage of nine points at this time, beating Real Madrid led by Mourinho to win the La Liga trophy.

   After the fall of Serie A, the Premier League and La Liga have been battling for the top spot in the world.

   As the champion teams of the two major leagues, the Champions League final between Crystal Palace and Barcelona seems to be given a special meaning to determine who is the world’s first league.

  Spain, Barcelona.

   At Guardiola’s house, Pere Guardiola kept complaining.

   “Pep, didn’t you say that Ferguson and Chen Ran didn’t deal with each other? How could he help Crystal Palace win the Premier League title at a critical moment?”

  ”Eh, I didn’t expect that. Maybe it’s Ferguson who hates Liverpool more than Crystal Palace.”

   Guardiola shook his head with a wry smile. He, a Spaniard who has only been in England for three or four years, still doesn’t know enough about the grievances and grievances in English football.

   “Originally, Crystal Palace had already shown a decline in the last few rounds of the Premier League, and they failed to win several games. But now after winning this Premier League championship, I am afraid that the previous decline will be reversed.”

   Seeing that Crystal Palace were about to take off, Pere Guardiola couldn’t help but be a little worried.

   Unlike Pere Guardiola, Guardiola is not only not worried, but a little excited.

   “Peret, do you know? In fact, I have long hoped to lead the team to compete with the boss. The boss is the most capable head coach in football today. I want to see what level I am now.”
