Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

  Chapter 8 Adding Fuel to the Fire

  The next day, The Sun once again put Chen Ran's photo on the front page.

The    title is even more sensational:

   "OMG, the new British sweetheart was snatched by the Chinese!"

Next to    is a beautiful photo of Cheryl, which is about the encounter between Chen Ran and Cheryl in a nightclub.

   However, Chen Ran turned into a villain who stole love with a horizontal knife.

   "Fxxxk!"

The    loan thing didn't make Chen Ran angry, but it made Chen Ran very angry.

  It turns out that Ashley Cole had been suffocating that day, and after the beautiful girl she fancy was robbed, she was always upset when she went back.

   He didn't expect that the Sun newspaper the next day would let him recognize Chen Ran, so he made a whistleblower call and described the events of the nightclub in a twisted way.

What kind of media is   The Sun, it dares to do anything out of nothing, let alone someone break the news?

   And it's still a hot spot right now, the Sun is of course striking while the iron is hot.

   So Chen Ran was fortunate enough to be the first Chinese to appear on the front page of The Sun for two consecutive days.

   "My dear, don't be angry. I will hold a press conference tomorrow to refute the rumors and make the real situation that day clear. We are true love, and I will officially announce that you are my boyfriend."

   Seeing Chen Ran getting angry, Cheryl hugged him and comforted him.

   Looking at Cheryl's flattering face in his arms, Chen Ran sighed lightly. After all, this girl is only 20 years old, so she is still too naive.

   But she was also kind, Chen Ran stroked Cheryl's hair, bowed her head and kissed her.

   "Won't this affect your career? Your agency wouldn't agree?"

   "It doesn't matter, as long as I can be with you, my dear, nothing else matters."

   "Okay, you can do whatever you want. I only have one request, that is, if someone forces you to do something you don't want to do, you can simply refuse it. It's a big deal. I'll take care of you."

  Cheryl is willing to do this for herself, but Chen Ran is not a piece of wood, how could she not feel her heart?

   What's more, his lofty goals are extremely difficult, and even if he invests all the time and energy, he is still not sure.

   In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and he had nothing to do about the situation of Chinese football except to be angry and scolded his mother.

   Now that he has lived a new life, how can he be reconciled without working hard?

  Although it is only 2003, considering the enormity of the task, Chen Ran feels that he has no time to distract himself.

  Cheryl needs to be good-looking, good-looking, and famous, and her past life has proved that she is a good partner.

   That is, she is still young and innocent, and she is so easy to succeed by herself.

  You can't be too greedy.

   On the third day, Cheryl held a separate press conference despite the opposition of the agency. Not only did he clarify the events of the day, he also took the initiative to announce his relationship with Chen Ran.

   This time Chen Ran is completely popular in the UK.

   If he was only popular in the football circle before, now there is a popular actress and him.

  's love blessing is completely out of the circle.

   The love of the British people for celebrity gossip can be seen from the number one sales of The Sun.

   After Beckham and Victoria, now there are Chen Ran and Cheryl.

   is also the beauty of a handsome man and a woman. Although Chen Ran is not a football star, he is the owner of a football club. Coupled with his Chinese identity, this pair of lovers is even more controversial.

   Such a good hype theme, how could the tabloids headed by The Sun let it go? This is all sales.

  So, Cheryl's press conference not only did not play any role in dispelling rumors, but instead poured a barrel of gasoline on the fire.

  London's paparazzi are moving, and now not only Cheryl, but even Chen Ran is being followed 24 hours a day by the paparazzi, unable to go anywhere.

   Just after the loan is received, the follow-up work should continue.

  Chen Ran still left Stephen to look after the house, reluctantly bid farewell to Cheryl, and then fled England in a hurry with Louis.

  Lisbon, Portugal, a place that Chen Ran has always wanted to visit.

   As a regenerator, there is one thing he is very clear about.

   In the next decade or so, there are two superstars in world football that no one can ignore.

   One is Messi and the other is Cristiano Ronaldo.

  Messi was dug into the hands of Barcelona early, and Chen Ran knew very well that it was impossible for him to get him.

   And Ronaldo, he still has a chance.

   Even though he knew the chances were slim, he still wanted to give it a try, otherwise he was really unwilling.

   In his previous life, just this summer, Sir Alex Ferguson bought Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon (Portugal Sport) for £12.24 million.

  The current Manchester United is in full swing. Compared with the small Championship team Crystal Palace, there is really no competitiveness.

   Fortunately, Chen Ran got a loan of 30 million euros, which was the only reason he dared to come and fight with Ferguson.

   "Luis, you have an appointment with Mendes, Cristiano Ronaldo's agent. I want to chat with him first."

   "Mendez" Luis fell into a rare silence.

  Chen Ran knew why Louis was silent, and patted him on the shoulder understandingly.

   "If it's not convenient for you, I'll just go see him by myself."

   In fact, Luis and Mendes have known each other for a long time. In the early years, Mendes was the agent of Luis' father Juan Ferger in Portugal.

   It’s just that Mendes grew up and now has his own business, and Luis’s father’s business in Portugal was almost robbed by Mendes.

   In the eyes of Luis' father, Mendes is a shameless traitor.

   Fortunately, Louis' father passed the agency to his elder brother, so now Louis's reaction is not too intense.

   "It's okay, Chen, it doesn't matter to me, our career is more important. As for the grievances between Mendes and my father, let them resolve it themselves. Anyway, the brokerage company belongs to my elder brother."

   The little fat man shrugged. He had already figured it out, otherwise he would not have accompany Chen Ran to the base camp of Mendes in Portugal.

"You can think so. Due to historical reasons, Portugal is a springboard for many South American players, especially Brazilian players, to land in Europe. With Mendes' influence in the Portuguese football agency circle, we will inevitably have to deal with him in the future. "

"I plan to put you in charge of the signings of our Crystal Palace club in the future. I think you should know how powerful Mendes is. Even your father has suffered a big loss in his hands. You can do it with him in the future. You have to be careful with your transactions.”

   "Chen, don't worry, no one knows Mendes' methods better than our family, and I will never let him take advantage of us."
