Chapter 21 I want to go to the forest

"...You must know that he is only twenty-eight years old now, and it is a time when he should make great achievements... I hope he can go to a team that can participate in European competitions stably every year, whether it is the Champions League or the European League... Ajian himself also thinks so."

As Chen Jian’s agent, Xia Yang told Tang En a message through this sentence: If you want Chen Jian to transfer to Nottingham Forest, please be qualified to participate in European competitions.

He was playing the idea of ​​letting Chen Jian leave in the summer because the time was relatively calm at that time, and more teams in the transfer market would be interested in Chen Jian, so that he would be able to deal with it and seek the greatest benefit for himself and Chen Jian.

He obviously didn't know that Tang En was only staying for half a season in the Forest team. After this season ended, he would leave his position as head coach. It would be useless to introduce Chen Jian at that time. The team now needs to replenish their strength and add fresh blood. Chen Jian is a qualified and trustworthy midfielder who can partner with Wood in the middle of the midfield, and he is also a panacea for the midfield. He can cope with different situations. How rare is such a player...

Tang En will not wait until the summer transfer period to talk to Espanyol about Chen Jian's transfer, and he will get Chen Jian this winter.

"I'm going to see Chen Jian wearing a red jersey from Nottingham Forest this season, Mr. Xia."

"This season?" Xia Yang was shocked. He really didn't expect that his mind began to turn... Since the Forest team is so urgent, can he take the opportunity to make a move? For example, dragging it up, forcing the Forest team to take out higher kickbacks...

Tang En seemed to see what Xia Yang had done at this moment. “Tell me straight, Mr. Xia. Chen Jian is the player I need. If you can help me put pressure on the Espanyol club and reduce the transfer fee, I am willing to give you that extra part as a kickback.”

Tang En didn't mind letting his agent make more money. Anyway, he didn't pay for Chen Jian, and he didn't give him the kickback. Why not do such a thing as giving others a gift and borrowing flowers to offer Buddha?

Xia Yang didn't expect Tang En to tell him the truth directly, and looked at Tang En awkwardly and smiled.

Since the other party has made such a big promise, what else can he care about? Naturally, he agreed immediately. But Xia Yang is very cunning and does not give a reply immediately. Who knows if there will be a big fish more attractive than Nottingham Forest in the future?

He just said that he would never be able to make decisions on such things. He also needed to go back and consult Chen Jian's opinions and discuss with him before he could reply to Tang En.

This is common sense, and Tang En did not object.

"I will stay here for a few more days, Mr. Xia Yang. I hope I can gain something when I leave Spain."

Before leaving, Tang En shook hands with Xia Yang and said goodbye, and had not forgotten to tactfully remind him not to delay time.

After getting in the car, Xia Yang looked down at his right hand. This hand had just been held with Tang En's hand. The old man was still a little arrogant, but he was still holding it with his hand. The world-class coach also came to ask for him this day! Ah haha! Xia Yang. Xia Yang, you are also a character now! Well... Do I want to put on airs and drag it on?

While Xia Yang was playing tricks with Tang En on the beach, Chen Jian was training in the Spaniard's training base. In order to prepare for the next round of Barcelona derby, the team had already left other things behind.

For teams like Espanyol, league championships and cup championships are basically unreliable. The goal of each season is basically a critical hit. If you have strong strength and good luck, they will start to look forward to European events. But there is one thing that will not change no matter which season, no matter how strong or luck they are, that is, hatred for the city's archenemy Barcelona.

As long as they are still in the First Division, the two most important games of each season must be the Barcelona Derby.

Chen Jian has played for more than three seasons in this team and spent three years in this city. He has long been used to such a derby atmosphere. And for him, he is still looking forward to such a game. In fact, he rarely participates in high-level events when playing football for Espanyol. The Barcelona city derby twice a year is regarded as the Champions League final.

Chen Jian doesn't hate Barcelona, ​​but as a player of Espanyol, he has to hate Barcelona. He was able to win the love of Espanyol fans so much, thanks to his fierce flying tackle at the Barcelona derby to put Messi on the ground, and then faced up with Alves, and sprayed each other on his head. He almost started fighting. Since then, Espanyol fans have truly accepted him.

In fact, Chen Jian is not such a violent person, but in such a fanatical atmosphere. A professional player and a man's passion also boiled, and it is normal to do any rough actions...

Today, Chen Jian was the protagonist in the training ground because there was a Chinese media filming on the sidelines. They were set up by the Chinese state TV station to specialize in the Barcelona derby film. The club also offered special kindness and allowed them to shoot some training shots on the sidelines of the training ground. This is a good opportunity to promote the club's image to distant Chinese fans. How could they disagree?

After the training, other players can go to the locker room to shower and change clothes. Chen Jian is not good yet. He must accept a few interviews from Chinese media on the side of the training ground, talk about the training situation, and talk about the Barcelona city derby this weekend.

At the same time, many fans came to him to ask for autographs.

When not interviewing, the TV reporter joked: "Okay, there are quite a lot of fans."

Chen Jian smiled a little shyly and continued to sign autographs for the enthusiastic Espanyol fans. He carefully wrote down the Chinese characters "Chen Jian" on his star poster and postcard, and then handed them to the fans. There are also some enthusiastic fans who will take a photo with Chen Jian after getting the autograph, and he is also satisfied.

It looks like a star.

This scene was unexpected when he just joined the Nottingham Forest Youth Team.

The interview ended. Chen Jian returned to the locker room, and his teammates were almost gone. He took a shower, changed his clothes, and walked towards the parking lot. The white Audi was waiting for him quietly.

Now he lives in an independent apartment with a famous car, but the unknown man who had been with him in a low-level league before was completely different.

Who brought all this?

Is the agent Mr. Xia Yang?

Thinking of this, the cell phone in his pocket rang. It was Xia Yang who called.

"Ajian, are your training over?" Xia Yang called Chen Jian while driving.

"Yes, it's over. Uncle Xia."

"Are those reporters leaving?"

"They are gone."

"Well... I've met Tang En. The details are not clear on the phone. We'll discuss them later when we meet."

"Okay, I'll go home and wait for you first."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jian got into the car and tied his seat belt. He was about to leave.

Holding the steering wheel of the Audi car in his hand, he skillfully poured out of the parking lot and drove towards the training base gate.   Let’s continue the question just now: Who brought all this?

In Chen Jian's heart, it was the British man who called him "Yugong".

"...It's exactly that." Mr. Xia told Chen Jian everything he had to talk to when he met Tang En. Finally, he expressed his opinion: "It's strange. He turned a blind eye to you and did not give you a chance at the Forest team at all, but now he wants to let you go back. The Forest team is in a bad situation now, and it's hard to say whether it can be relegated. I'll tell you Ajian, if I were you, I would rather stay in Espanyol than go to the Forest team. At least there is no need to worry about playing in the second division next season here. "

After hearing Xia Yang's words, Chen Jian was silent for a while before saying: "It's not that he has never given me a chance, but I can't accept his conditions..."

He pointed out that Tang En asked him to give up his Chinese nationality and become British nationality so that he could play for the Forests. Of course, he would not agree to such a request. He had never thought about not being a Chinese because of playing football.

And Chen Jian still remembers Tang En's phone call to him at the airport, telling him that since his dream is to play professional football, where to play or not?

It was this sentence that changed his future that led to No. 10 Chen Jian, who is now doing well in the Spanish.

"I don't think it's right for him to get you this winter transfer period. Time is too tight, I can't fight for you more rights, and it's hard to say what the future of the Forest team will be like now. I suggest you wait for another half a season. After this season is over, see the performance of the Forest team before making a decision. And then there will be more clubs interested in you at that time..."

But Chen Jian shook his head.

As soon as I saw him, Xia Yang knew something was wrong.

"Uncle Xia, actually after I received a call from Mr. Tang En, I made up my mind..." He looked at the agent in front of him, "I'm going to Nottingham Forest, and it's this winter."

"You're crazy!" Xia Yang jumped up from the sofa.

"I'm not crazy."

"If it were four years ago, five years ago, I sharpened my head and wanted you to join the Forest Team. But now it's different. The world has undergone earth-shaking changes! The Nottingham Forest is not as good as the Espanyol! You are twenty-eight years old, Ajian. The golden age of professional players is not many years old. I hope to take this opportunity to let you go to a better team, have a bigger stage, and perform better. This is basically your last chance to choose. After you are thirty, it will be difficult for you to get the favor of those big teams!"

Xia Yang became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood in front of Chen Jian, bent down, squirted at him, and spitted stars everywhere. Could he not be excited? After finally waiting for Chen Jian to become famous, he also had the capital to bargain with other European clubs. How could Tang En pick the fruits of victory so easily?

No! Absolutely not!

After Xia Yang finished squirting excitedly, Chen Jian still said in a very calm tone: "I will not go anywhere except Nottingham Forest, Uncle Xia."

Xia Yang felt very discouraged. He said so many things and analyzed so many truths. This kid didn't listen to a single word!

He stared at Chen Jian for a while, and Chen Jian also looked at him.

Xia Yang then sat down again on the sofa and asked, "Why?"

"Do you still remember my original dream, Uncle Xia?" Chen Jian did not answer immediately, but asked back.

Xia Yang was silent for a moment, he was thinking about this question. Then he thought: "Really playing professional football. You have achieved it now."

"Yes, it's done. But..." Chen Jian smiled: "The full version should be playing real professional football in Nottingham Forest."

"Hehe..." Xia Yang covered his head. "What other fourth anniversary platinum commemorative edition is there, a global limited edition?"

"It's gone." Chen Jian spread his hands. "I'm going to realize my original dream now. Go back to Nottingham Forest to play football."

"I can't understand." Xia Yang really couldn't understand from the perspective of an agent that Chen Jian would make such a decision.

"Because it was Nottingham Forest that gave me a chance to come to Europe at the beginning."

"grateful?"

"No, it's emotion... I have a sense of belonging. It belongs to Nottingham Forest. No matter what, I was trained in Nottingham Forest youth training camp, Uncle Xia." Chen Jian raised his head slightly, looked at the ceiling, and fell into memories.

During those years at Nottingham Forest youth training camp; Coach Tang's concern and coach Greenwood's strict requirements; he personally called and asked if he wanted to bet on Coach Tony Donn, who came to Nottingham to dig mountains in the future...

Nottingham Forest is probably not as simple as a European team.

"Do you know what team I am from when I was a fan, Uncle Xia?"

"Nottingham Forest?" Xia Yang still joked even though he knew it was impossible.

"No, Barcelona."

"Ha!" Xia Yang couldn't help laughing. He thought of the Barcelona city derby that will be held on the weekend, and Chen Jian's hot performance in the previous few derbys...

"But my love for Barcelona is purely just appreciation. The relationship with Nottingham Forest is different. I want to play for her and I want to be one of them. This is the idea I had when I went there to try out as the third place in the commercial draft."

Xia Yang curled his lips and disagreed with Chen Jiandi's feelings. Professional players talk about feelings? Now fewer and fewer people believe it.

"There is another reason, Uncle Xia."

"What?"

"I had a regret that I had not realized before. Now I have a chance - I have always wanted to play football under Coach Tang or Coach Tang En."

Tony Donne!

Xia Yang thought of that man.

"Are you really sure? I think you want to play football under him now. It's just because you are far away from him and are far from creating beauty. Once you become his player, it may not be beautiful."

Chen Jian smiled but said nothing.

"I think you should think seriously, Ajian..." Xia Yang was still working hard.

"No need, Uncle Xia." Chen Jian said with a smile, "The weekend is a derby, and I don't have the energy to think about those things. So I will make a decision now and transfer to Nottingham Forest during the winter break. You go and talk to the club."

Xia Yang was unhappy because he felt a little jealous. He had been with Chen Jian for many years and could be considered the closest person outside his parents. However, he did not expect that Chen Jian's status in his heart was far inferior to that of Tony Tang Engao, who had not had contact with him several times.

But what if you are unhappy? If the agent meets a weak and unintentional player, he can naturally control it firmly in his palms. But Chen Jian is definitely not the kind of weak and unintentional person.

It's annoying that it's not a big deal for him to change his agent... You should know that not only at home, but also abroad, there are many agents who want to take their positions.

In the end, Xia Yang could only bow his head and admit defeat under the joint efforts of Tang En and Chen Jian: "Okay. Ajian... I hope you will not regret this decision today in the future!"

It was obvious that he was a little unwilling to accept it. Chen Jian added: "After success, I will give you the signature fee that belongs to me, Uncle Xia."

Xia Yang didn't expect Chen Jian to have such a determination. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: "You really... disdain for all the price."

"That's my original dream. Compared to it, what is money?"
Chapter completed!
