Setting up the flag

"Gareth will continue to serve as captain of the team after returning to Crystal Palace, and will also serve as assistant coach of the first team."

As soon as Chen Ran finished speaking, the reporters in the audience started talking again.

"Tsk tsk, this Chinese guy still has some sense in doing things. With Southgate as his assistant, at least there won't be any big problems in the locker room."

 "It makes sense, this move is indeed beautiful."

"So, do we underestimate this Chinese?"

"Don't jump to conclusions yet. This is just the beginning. Let's see what he does next."

"Next, I will introduce to you a genius from Portugal—Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro."

 Following Chen Ran's words, Cristiano Ronaldo walked out from the backstage.

 The young man is handsome and energetic. Apart from being a little immature, he is simply a perfect idol player.

"Everyone, I believe you will be very interested in the fact that I spent 10 million euros to introduce Ronaldo."

"The reason why I am willing to spend huge sums of money to **** Ronaldo from many wealthy clubs is because I firmly believe that given time, our Ronaldo will be able to match or even surpass the great Brazilian genius with his namesake."

 "OMG!"

 "What on earth is he talking about?"

 "Is this guy crazy?"

 "He is indeed an arrogant maniac."

 "It seems that this Chinese man is indeed an idealist."

 "I think this Mr. Chen needs a psychiatrist."

 Everyone on and off the stage, including Ronaldo himself, was stunned by Chen Ran's bold words.

Ronaldo is almost crying. Boss, I don't have such strong self-confidence myself. Where did you get it?

 Besides, can't we talk about this in private?

 Do you have to say it in front of the media in England?

I'm still young, so my small body can't handle it!

 Chen Ran looked at the already heated press conference and secretly curled his lips, thinking to himself, where are we now? These British guys have never seen the market.

 Finally, Chen Ran waited until the scene calmed down before he could continue to introduce the next player.

　　"Now, let us welcome the famous player Josep Guardiola from Spain."

 Applause was a bit sparse.

Guardiola, as a star who has been famous for many years, stands to reason that reporters should give him enough courtesy.

It's a pity that the people sitting below are all media reporters covering football, and everyone knows about Guardiola's positive urine test.

"Does this Chinese guy have any brains? Are players who are about to be banned from the game also buying it?"

 "Aren't you worrying blindly? People don't care how much money they have."

"If you have a lot of **** money, it's just a bank loan."

 "Don't he know about Guardiola?"

"It's possible. He's a Chinese who doesn't understand football. How could he know this? He was probably tricked by his agent."

 "Well, I feel a little sorry for him now."

 "Stop your false sympathy, you scolded him the worst in the newspapers."

 Guardiola on the stage didn't see the reactions of the reporters in the audience, and his face was a little ugly.

"Everyone, after joining the team, Josep will also serve as the team's assistant coach like Gareth."

 "I have no doubts about Josep's coaching ability."

"I think that in the near future, Josep is fully capable of leading the team as head coach to win the Premier League championship, the Champions League championship and even more championships."

 "OMG!"

 "Here he comes again! He comes again!"

 "I am now sure that this Chinese man is delusional."

 "Then call an ambulance."

 "Calm down, does the mental hospital have an ambulance?"

 "I don't know. All I know is that I'm going crazy."

"That's outrageous! He's also a Premier League champion and a Champions League champion. Does Guardiola now have a coaching certificate?"

"Okay, okay, calm down. They are just praising their own players, do you really take it seriously?"

 "That's not what they're boasting about, right? It's too exaggerated."

 "Perhaps this is the habit of Chinese people?"

 "Whatever. I'm starting to have a headache now, but there's too much material to write about and not enough space."

Guardiola is now beginning to feel what Ronaldo felt just now, and his legs are a little weak.

 He was touted as a champion coach by Chen Ran, a player who had never coached for a day.

　　Just now, my face was a little pale and ugly, but now it is completely red and a little hot.

 Boss, please be kind and let me go.

Guardiola no longer has anything to do with drug testing in his mind. He just wants to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

 Too shameful.

 Finally, Chen Ran began to introduce the next player.

"Next, I will introduce to you Diego Pablo Simeone, a famous player from Argentina."

 It was quiet, surprisingly quiet, which was in huge contrast to the previous boiling sky.

If there was some applause when Guardiola came out just now, then Simeone was greeted with silence.

So much so that the whispers of some reporters in the audience could be clearly heard in Chen Ran's ears.

 "Why would this Chinese buy Simeone?"

 "Um, does he not know about Simeone and Beckham?"

"It's really possible, after all, it's been five years since that happened."

 "Didn't anyone remind him?"

 "I guess he was deceived by his agent again."

 "Humph, now there's something good to watch."

Chen Ran's heart sank and he looked backstage with some worry.

 Fortunately, the Argentinian is indeed a tough guy and walked out with a smile.

 Well done!

 Chen Ran secretly praised Simone in his heart, and then continued the introduction in a louder voice.

"Diego will also serve as the team's assistant coach like Gareth and Josep."

"Like Josep, Diego has all the qualities to be a top coach."

"I believe that given time, Diego can also lead the team to win the league championship, many championships."

This time the reporters no longer responded with applause, but with overwhelming boos.

 "This Chinese guy is really crazy, he dares to speak for the Argentinians."

"I don't care if he knows about it or not, it's wrong to speak for Argentines."

 "You're right, Argentines get out!"

If the scene at the press conference was just boiling before, it is about to explode now.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Stephen, who knew the British better, immediately walked to Chen Ran, grabbed the microphone and directly announced the end of the press conference, and then pulled Chen Ran and Simone into the backstage.

Sky TV, which broadcast the entire press conference live, also noticed that something was wrong and immediately cut off the live broadcast signal.

So, the Crystal Palace Club's press conference ended in such an anticlimactic manner.

The players who were still backstage preparing to appear one after another looked at each other. What happened?

 We haven't shown up yet.
