 After settling Guardiola, Simeone and Southgate, Chen Ran took the new coaching staff to meet with the team's players.

　　We were in the pre-season preparation period, and then the head coach was suddenly replaced, and the new head coach was the owner of his own club.

 The current mood of the Crystal Palace players can only be described as confused and at a loss.

 After introducing the assistant coaches, Chen Ran stood in front of the players and looked at the complicated expressions on everyone's faces with interest.

It is estimated that it will be difficult for me to see many of the people here again in the future.

"Hello everyone, we meet again. However, now I am not only the president of the club, but also your head coach. Is it surprising?"

"yes"

There was a sparse reply.

"Okay, I know you all have a lot of questions. Now I can answer your questions face to face, so feel free to ask."

 "Boss, are you serious about becoming a head coach?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I take the coaching certificate exam."

"Boss, the newspaper said that this is your first time coaching a professional team. Is it true?"

"Yes, what they say is true. But everyone has a first time, right?"

 "Boss, didn't you say you wanted to create a football dynasty?"

"Yeah, aren't I starting a new team now? Let me tell you some good news. I have introduced a lot of new players this time. Your next competition will be brutal."

ˆ "."

Hmm, is this good news?

 A group of players cursed in their hearts.

"Well, it seems that you don't have enough confidence in me. It doesn't matter, I can understand. If anyone wants to transfer, they can directly sign up with Stephen. I won't stop you, let's get together and go."

 After saying that, Chen Ran turned around and left with the coaching staff, leaving only the players gathered in twos and threes to discuss their whereabouts.

"Boss, do you really allow them all to transfer?" Southgate couldn't help but ask.

"According to the standards of the Premier League, I have evaluated the abilities of these players. Except for a few who can play in the Premier League, the others have all failed. So what do you think I should keep them for?"

"Premier League standards? Boss, Crystal Palace is only a Championship team, are your requirements too high?"

Southgate secretly complained, if these players had the strength of the Premier League, would Crystal Palace still be in the Championship now?

"Gareth, it's not that my requirements are high. My goal is to create a football dynasty. If you follow this standard, do you still think it's high?"

 "This is indeed not high"

This time not only Southgate fell silent, but Guardiola and Simeone who had been hesitant to speak next to them also fell silent.

It turns out that the boss is not just shouting slogans?

 Is the boss really serious?

"Don't worry, I won't let them all go. At most half of them will go. After all, we also need substitutes, and the quota of local players also needs to be filled."

"However, this time I have introduced a total of more than a dozen new players, which is equivalent to rebuilding the entire team. I give the three of you a task, which is for each of you to design a play style based on the new players."

"I want to remind you that this is your first test. I will give each of you a score. After the season is over, the person with the highest score will be the head coach of the team next season."

As soon as Chen Ran finished speaking, the three people who were originally relaxed suddenly became tense.

They all said goodbye to Chen Ran, turned around and ran to Stephen to ask for player information.

 "I can't cure you, little one?"

 Chen Ran hummed a ditty proudly.

 The three major league champions of La Liga, Bundesliga and Premier League plus the Champions League champion coach Guardiola;

 La Liga champion and Europa League champion coach Simeone;

England national team coach Southgate.

Except for Southgate, who has never won any championships, the other two will be the top coaches in world football for the next ten years or so.

Although they are still rookies in the coaching world, with their talents, it is only a matter of time before they shine.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are equal to Zhuge Liang, but what if there are three Zhuge Liangs?

 Besides, if that's not enough, youth training director Tuchel can step in at any time.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran was immediately full of expectations for the new season.

 Three days passed very quickly.

On this day, all media covering football in England were present at the Crystal Palace Club's press conference. Even Sky TV sent an SNG truck to broadcast live.

 You need to know that this is just a press conference, or a press conference of a British Championship team.

 Similar treatment is usually only enjoyed by the few Premier League giants.

At this moment, I have to say that Chen Ran's hype plan was successful.

 "Hey, have you heard? Crystal Palace has introduced many new players this time."

 "I heard that there seemed to be more than a dozen."

 "A lot comes, a lot goes. I heard Crystal Palace are now shopping around for their original players."

"Really? That's really a big change."

"That's right, it seems that the Chinese guy is not just talking, but he is serious about it."

"A dozen players? I don't know if there are any stars among them."

"I'm afraid it's impossible. The total loan amount is 30 million euros, and the Portuguese Ronaldo only accounts for 10 million. The remaining dozen or so people only have 20 million at most, and the average talent is less than 2 million each."

"That's right, what do Chinese people know about football? I guess they were deceived by those agents and found a bunch of bargains to make up the money."

"It is indeed possible. It took a lot of effort to get a fat sheep who doesn't understand anything. Those guys probably made a lot of money this time."

"I can't control that much, so who would make people willing to throw money at it? Anyway, I just want the news to be exciting enough."

The bustling press conference hall was filled with reporters' discussions.

 Some are teasing, some are sarcastic, some are mocking, and some are expecting.

 Under the spotlight, Chen Ran appeared.

With a height of 1.85 meters, a handsome face, a neat hairstyle, a tailor-made suit, and leather shoes so bright that the figure can be seen, he strode towards the podium.

 "Good afternoon everyone, I'm Chen Ran."

 "Thank you all for coming to the Crystal Palace Club press conference."

"Today, I am honored to introduce to you the new players who will join the Crystal Palace Club this season."

"First of all, let us welcome with warm applause Gareth Southgate, the captain who led Crystal Palace to win the English League One Championship in 1993!"

 "Gareth, welcome home!"

 Maybe it's to give Chen Ran some face, or maybe it's because Southgate is an active England international.

 In short, the applause at the scene was quite warm.

"I didn't expect that this Chinese guy bought back the old captain of Crystal Palace. It seems like he doesn't understand football at all."

"That's right. However, Southgate is an active international player. Crystal Palace probably spent a lot of money to buy him."

"That's inevitable. It's not like you don't know the boss of Middlesbrough, he only cares about money. If someone is willing to take over the 33-year-old Southgate, he will definitely have to kill him severely."

"Anyway, this beginning is really a bit unexpected. I am looking forward to what surprises this Chinese will bring us."

  "Hmph, whether it's a surprise or a fright, I'm not sure yet."
