Chapter 403 Low profile version of Mourinho

   Chapter 403 Low Profile Mourinho

   England, Chelsea.

  CEO Peter Kenyon also sat down with coach Ancelotti to discuss Chen Ran.

Although the Chelsea club also failed in the just-concluded 2008-2009 season, but because Ancelotti’s character is not as rebellious as Mourinho, the relationship in all aspects has been maintained well, so he finally kept the Chelsea head coach. s position.

   “Carlo, Chen Ran is now the head coach of the Portugal national team. This is good news for us. You must seize this rare opportunity.”

   “If you can’t bring a significant championship trophy to the club next season, Mr. Abramovich’s patience may be at its limit.”

   Hearing Peter Kenyon’s reminder, Ancelotti nodded slightly.

   “Peter, thank you for speaking for me in front of Mr. Abramovich. If I can’t bring the club a championship next season, I don’t have the face to stay here.”

   “Carlo, in addition to Crystal Palace, clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City should also pay attention. According to the information I have received, these are also preparing for a big fight because of Chen Ran’s decision.”

“Especially Liverpool and Manchester City, they have just replaced rich new owners and are in the stage of crazy money. The strength of the team is likely to explode in a short period of time, you must not underestimate them. .”

   Chen Ran did not expect that one of his decisions would affect so many clubs.

   He is now busy arranging the next work of Crystal Palace Club, and then he will immediately convene the Portuguese national team for training and prepare for the next South Africa World Cup European qualifiers.

   “Luis, it’s the annual summer transfer period soon. It’s the same old rules, get those eyeliners out of your way.”

   “Now that the owners of Premier League clubs are getting richer and richer, they must prevent them from reaching out to us at Crystal Palace.”

   “If there is any trouble, you have to notify me immediately. When I am not at the Crystal Palace, you have to help me take care of my home, understand?”

   “Okay, Chen, don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on those guys.”

  Little Fatty Louis changed his usual giggles and nodded solemnly.

   “One more thing, you send someone to the Le Havre club in France to find a 16-year-old named Paul Pogba and bring him back to Crystal Palace.”

   “Pogba? 16 years old? Chen, have you found a good seedling again?”

   As soon as he heard about the transfer-related matters, the eyes of the fat little Luis suddenly lit up.

   “Yes, this is also a very talented kid. You move faster and don’t be robbed by other clubs.”

   “Understood, I’ll deal with it right away.”

   After assigning the task to the little fat Louis, Chen Ran turned to look at the head butler of the Crystal Palace Club who was sitting beside him.

   “Stephen, I’m afraid I don’t have the time and energy to manage this year’s International Champions Cup. I’ll leave everything to you.”

   “Don’t worry, Chen, it’s not the first time we’ve held the International Champions Cup. Everyone knows what to do. Leave the International Champions Cup to me this year.”

After    explained Stephen and the fat little Louis, Chen Ran called Southgate and Simone to the office again.

“Diego, Gareth, I will focus on the Portuguese national team for the next period of time. So, all the preparations for the new season and participation in the International Champions Cup here at Crystal Palace, I intend to leave it to the two of you. take responsibility.”

   Hearing Chen Ran’s words, Southgate and Simone glanced at each other. Somewhat surprised, but not surprised either.

   “Boss, do you really hand over everything to the two of us?”

   Southgate asked a little hesitantly.

   “That’s right. I’ll leave you a training plan, just follow it.”

   “That’s good, I thought you really let Crystal Palace go. If the pre-season preparations are not done well and affect the team’s results next season, then the two of us will be guilty.”

   Seeing that Chen Ran didn’t really care about anything, Southgate breathed a sigh of relief.

   “When you encounter something, the two of you discuss and deal with it. It’s really difficult to decide. You can call me. In the International Champions Cup, the two of you take turns commanding. This is also a good opportunity to exercise your coaching ability, understand?”

   “Understood, boss.”

   Just when Chen Ran was busy arranging various affairs of the Crystal Palace, an old friend who had not seen him for a long time suddenly came to the door.

   “Jorge, it’s the summer transfer period soon, how do you have time to come to me now?”

  Chen Ran is very clear that now should be the time when Mendes is very busy. If there is no important thing, he will not come to Crystal Palace.

   Could this guy want to give Ronaldo a raise again? Thinking of this, Chen Ran felt a little unhappy in his heart.

  After all, the Crystal Palace club just gave Ronaldo an annual salary increase last year. It would be insatiable greed if Mendes asked for a raise this time around.

   seemed to sense Chen Ran’s unkind gaze, and Mendes quickly stated the purpose of his visit to Crystal Palace Club today.

   “Chen, you have now become the head coach of the Portuguese national team, do you know if the assistant coach is confirmed?”

   “Assistant coach?”

   Chen Ran was slightly taken aback, this question from Mendes was really beyond his expectations.

   However, he reacted immediately, this guy will definitely not come to discuss this topic with himself for no reason.

   “Jorge, do you have someone to recommend to me?”

  Chen Ran now has a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with, but he doesn’t have the time to go around slowly with Mendes.

   “Haha, Chen, you really know me. I have a candidate. He used to be Coach Robson’s assistant, and then he has been Jose’s assistant for six years.”

   “The most important point is that although he is Portuguese, he speaks English very well. Maybe he can provide you with a little help as the head coach of the Portuguese national team, so I have the cheek to come and recommend it to you.”

   “Are you talking about Boas?”

   “Er Chen, I didn’t expect you to know Andrei.”

  Mendez was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Ran in surprise.

   “Haha, Jorge, there is an old saying in China, which is called ‘Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be safe in a hundred battles.’ Mourinho used to be my competitor, and of course I have to understand the situation around him.”

  Chen Ran smiled slightly, put on a light-hearted look, and put on a small outfit.

   “It turned out to be like this. Chen, it’s no wonder you can win so many championships, you can’t accept it.” Mendes couldn’t help sighing.

   “Since it’s Boas, it’s no problem. You go back and tell him that I will ask the Portuguese Football Association to hire him as my assistant coach.”

   “That’s great. Thank you very much, Chen, Andrei won’t let you down.”

   Chen Ran, who is a reborn, still knows something about Boas as a coach.

   This guy is said to have been an assistant to England’s legendary coach Robson at the age of 17, and later as an assistant to Mourinho, all the way from Porto to Chelsea to Inter Milan.

   However, although Boas’s starting point is similar to that of Mourinho, his later achievements are far from comparable to Mourinho.

  When Chen Ran was reborn, Mourinho was still coaching the Roma Club, while Boas, who was 14 years younger than Mourinho, could only be idle at home.

   Therefore, Chen Ran doesn’t mind being a good friend and helping Mendez train his clients.

  Because he knew very well in his heart that the upper limit of Boas was at most a low-profile version of Mourinho, which would not pose any threat to himself.

   After arranging things on the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran immediately flew to Lisbon, Portugal. He has issued a call-up order ahead of time to gather his selected Portuguese national team players to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers in the near future.

   And Boas, who received the news from Mendes, also quickly signed a contract with the Portuguese Football Association. After saying goodbye to Mourinho, he rushed to Lisbon from Madrid to join Chen Ran.

   The Portuguese player Chen Ran chose this time was not much different from Queiroz before.

   Although Portugal is only a small country, its football youth training system is very complete.

   After countless screenings, capable players are on the bright side, and basically nothing slips through the net.

   Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Quaresma, Simao, Nuno Gomez, Almeida, Postiga;

  Midfielders: Deco, Nani, Moutinho, Meireles, Petit, Veloso;

Defenders: Pepe, Carvalho, Andrade, Coentrao, Ricardo Costa, Duda, Miguel, Bosingwa, Paulo Ferreira, Bruno Alves, Mela, Rolando;

   Goalkeepers: Eduardo, Fernandez, Beto.

   Looking at the list of players in front of him, Chen Ran really couldn’t understand how Queiroz brought the Portuguese national team to such a poor record.

   “Mr. Chen, the players have all arrived, and now we are waiting for you to go to the meeting.”

  Boas walked into Chen Ran’s office at the Portuguese training base and reminded him.

  Today, Chen Ran, the new head coach of the Portuguese national team, met his players for the first time.

  When Chen Ran walked into the conference room, under the leadership of Ronaldo and Pepe, all the Portuguese players in the room stood up and applauded.

   Seeing Ronaldo kept winking at himself, Chen Ran knew it was this kid who did it.

  No way, although Cristiano Ronaldo is young, he has won countless championship trophies as the core player of Crystal Palace in recent years, and now he is the top player in the Portuguese national team.

   Even some old players give him some face.

  The current Chen Ran is not a rookie when he just took over the Crystal Palace. He served as the head coach of the Portuguese national team, and no player was unconvinced.

   walked onto the podium with a smile on his face, Chen Ran looked around at the players in the room.

   “Hello everyone, I’m Chen Ran, and I’ll be your head coach from today.”

   “I believe everyone is not satisfied with our team’s current performance. Time is running out, so I won’t talk nonsense.”

   “I set myself two short-term goals, one is to lead Portugal to the World Cup tickets in South Africa; the other is to at least reach the semi-finals of the World Cup in South Africa.”

   “If these two goals are not fulfilled, I will voluntarily resign and leave.”

   Chen Ran’s voice here was not finished, and the whole conference room was already blown up.

  Chen Ran doing this is equivalent to driving himself to a dead end. This special meow is too cruel.

   The Portuguese players sitting below looked at each other in dismay. But the first close encounter today still gave them a huge shock.

   A player sitting next to Ronaldo leaned over and whispered, “Chris, is your boss so cruel to yourself?”

  Cristiano Ronaldo was also a little dumbfounded at this time, he didn’t expect Chen Ran to make a big move as soon as he came up.

   “Cough, in fact, the boss is usually very easy to get along with.”

  Unfortunately, no one believes Ronaldo’s explanation anymore.

   Special meow, how can a man who is so cruel to himself get along well? Are you a liar?

  Chen Ran’s unexpected move quickly paid off.

   In the following training, the Portuguese players strictly followed Chen Ran’s tactical requirements and implemented them without compromise, which gave Chen Ran the illusion that he was still in Crystal Palace.

   Standing next to Chen Ran, Boas, who witnessed all this, couldn’t help but admire secretly in his heart.

   Chen Ran is worthy of being the top coach in football today, and he was right to ask Mendes to be his assistant coach.

   After about a week of training, Portugal ushered in the sixth round of the European qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa. This time they are going away to Albania.

   There are ten rounds in the group stage, and Portugal is now seven points behind the second-placed Hungary, and the task is arduous.

  Because Albania is the second weakest team in this group that is only a little bit stronger than Malta, even in the away game, Chen Ran still has a starting lineup that focuses on offense.

   Left winger Simao, center Cristiano Ronaldo, right winger Quaresma

   MF Moutinho, MF Deco, MF Meireles

  Left-back Coentrao, center-back Carvalho, center-back Pepe, right-back Bosingwa

   Goalkeeper Eduardo

  Although it was just an ordinary World Cup qualifier, due to Chen Ran’s reasons, this game still attracted the attention of many people around the world.

   In a country thousands of miles away, there was an unprecedented discussion of games unrelated to Crystal Palace on the Crystal Palace post.

   “Brothers, did you watch the match between Portugal and Albania?”

   “Damn it! Why is the time of this game the same as the Champions League. You have to stay up late again?”

   “I have set the alarm clock. I want to see if Chen Ran is as good as Crystal Palace when he leads the Portuguese national team.”

   “Are you drinking too much upstairs? Can the Portuguese national team be on a par with Crystal Palace? Crystal Palace is made up of the top players in the world. In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal, who else can play the main force in Crystal Palace?”

   “Because of this, doesn’t it better reflect Chen Ran’s coaching ability?”

   “Huh? The upstairs makes sense. Then I’ll get up and watch this game too.”

   “Haha, watch together, watch together.”
