Chapter 104 The Future of Young Players (Part 1)

The meeting with Hradpiquebernabeu was arranged in the same restaurant.

Speaking of Pique's surname, almost all Real Madrid fans will find it very familiar. Yes, it is the surname of Real Madrid's legendary chairman Santiago Bernabeu. But Pique has nothing to do with Real Madrid's Bernabeu. His grandfather is the former vice chairman of Barcelona. This makes people feel that Pique's loyalty to Barcelona should be unusually high, but the reality is not the case.

Pique loves Barcelona very much, but he also knows that his future should be put first.

The young Pi Kui was still childish, and his thick lips were his symbol. His height of 1.9 meters tall was also outstanding among the crowd.

When he learned that Pique hoped to have an interview, Don En knew that his trip to Barcelona had been half successful. If Pique was determined to go to Manchester United, he would not agree to meet him. Although the agent behind this, Canalis, also helped a lot, the decisive role must be Pique's own inner thoughts.

This can be seen from Don En's memory when Pique gave up Barcelona and went to Manchester United. Herad Pique is a very opinionated person.

"Hello, sir." Piku, who is only seventeen years old, is not nervous in front of Tang En. Perhaps growing up in a wealthy team since childhood has made him more confident than his ordinary peers. "After Mr. Canalis told you, I think we can talk."

"Of course." Tang En smiled, "I expected it." This meeting is worth 20,000 pounds!

"Well, sir, you know... Manchester United club has already contacted me, and the sincerity they expressed touched me." Pique frowned and said, his expression was serious and serious as if he was the agent, and Canalis became the translator.

"Yes. I know this. Manchester United clubs have expressed their sincerity, and we, Nottingham Forest, are sincere enough - look, for you, we come to Barcelona specifically." Don Eun spread his hands, "Please believe that our sincerity to you will never be smaller than any club."

Piku nodded and did not continue.

Donne knew it was his turn now: "I know why you chose Manchester United instead of Arsenal, even though you have your friends there. But I want to say, in England. It is not only Manchester United's coach Ferguson, but also our Nottingham Forest. If Mr. Canalis briefly introduced the situation of Forest last season, you will find that most of the main players in our team are young people. I know that Forest's reputation is no longer as good as Manchester United, but we have no advantages. I ask, did Coach Hrad, Ferguson's agent promise you anything?"

"He promised me the future." Pikui replied.

"Very good, very good. Manchester United club promised you the future. I don't think they are lying. But Nottingham Forest can promise you the present. "Donn stretched out a finger, "I came to Barcelona not to invest in the future for Forests. You know, Forest has successfully entered the League Cup next season, and we need to fight on multiple lines. So you don't have to worry about not having any game after coming. If you go to Manchester United, what can you get now? Youth team games. A year later, a reserve team game, two years later, and continue to accumulate experience, because the first team still has no position in your place... Do you think I'm exaggerating?"

Pique had no answer.

Manchester United and Barcelona are both considered giant teams, what is the first team in the giants? Pique is actually very clear. How many giants really value their youth team talents? Barcelona's La Macia youth training base is ranked first two in Spain, but after they have trained so many outstanding young players, how many opportunities did the first team give?

Why did Fabregas leave the team and go to the cold and wetlands of London? Others don’t know, how can he, Sesque’s best friend, not know?

On the one hand, in order to achieve results as soon as possible and to make his position as chairman more stable, Barcelona's new chairman Laporta would rather believe in famous players who bought from outside for a lot of money than give young people a chance.

Fabregas' departure has allowed young people in La Macia to see their future. Arsenal's hope star sets a new example for these people. Let everyone reconsider their future in Barcelona. Not only Pique, but another person is also hesitating about his career. That person is Barcelona C team captain Francisco_merida.

Barcelona is like this. What about Manchester United, which is also a wealthy club? Will Barcelona give it to Manchester United?

The central defender is a very special position. Unless the main central defender is injured, no coach will give a seventeen-year-old child any chance. The stability of the defense line is very important for the giants who need to achieve results immediately. He chose Manchester United. If three years later, he is as the gentleman in front of him said. He can't play in the first team game and can only seek opportunities through loan? Is his choice now correct?

The period from the age of seventeen to twenty-two is the fastest time for young players to grow.   If you play less games, the player will basically stop improving.       The death of countless geniuses at this stage has a lot to do with not being able to play in the game.

Manchester United is a giant, which means that they can increase their investment in the transfer market to invest in the transfer market. So how many opportunities will the team give young people?

Although Nottingham Forest is a small team... they also have the advantage of a small team, which is that it can give young people space to grow and be willing to give young people more opportunities to play. They cannot buy those famous stars worth tens of millions. This is certainly the sorrow of a small club, but it is the blessing of young players.

Thinking of this, it is more beneficial for Tang En, the coach of the team who has been promoted to become an important team.

And Don Eun is definitely not exaggerating. As a "experienced", he knows very well what Pique's future will be like at Manchester United... In the 2004-05 season, he played the Youth FA Cup with Manchester United youth team. In the 2005-06 season, he was transferred to the reserve team and played one of the few first-team games. In the 2006-07 season, he was loaned to Zaragoza in La Liga. The contract stipulates that he must play at least twenty times in Zaragoza.

Zaragoza refused to let Pique play too many games, and he always let him play in the last stage of the game. In the 2007-08 season, Donn didn't know what happened, but he thought Ferguson would still not give Pique any chance, because Rio Ferdinand and Vidic had a very solid main position. A head coach could not easily break up the central defender combination that cooperated with a tacit understanding, just to cultivate a newcomer with an uncertain future...

Ferguson would not know Pique's future achievements, and Tony Donn also don't know. But he knew his performance in the next three years. In the season in Zaragoza, Donn was able to see the performance of this young man. He could not only play as a center back, but also a right back, and sometimes he could be pushed to the midfield and play as a midfielder - of course, that was a temporary cameo, not a long-term solution.

Seeing Pique silent, Don En knew that he must be hesitating in his heart, so he struck while the iron was hot: "You can't get a chance in Barcelona, ​​you're only better at Manchester United than at Barcelona. But in Forests, you can get a chance to play immediately, I don't think there is anything better than this. And we are teams that are going to participate in the League Cup... What are you still hesitating about, Herard?"

In any aspect, Donne's conditions are the best. Manchester United and Barcelona won't let you play immediately. In order to ensure you have enough appearances every year, they have to loan you. Playing for teams in low-level leagues will remain the same next season. Want to play in the first team? Well, this has to be considered in many aspects...

Pikui continued to remain silent. Tang En did not urge him, but leaned on the back of the chair and drank the drink leisurely.

Canalis lowered his head and whispered to Pique, and then the two talked in Catalan, which Donn didn't understand, but he knew they must be discussing about the choice.

Don Eun guessed well, and Pique was asking his agent, since he had decided to leave Barcelona, ​​would he go to Manchester United or to go to Nottingham Forest, which had a more attractive condition?

When Canalis thought that 30,000 pounds were still available after the matter was accomplished, he suggested that Pique choose Nottingham Forest without hesitation. His reason sounds convincing: "Herard, I think Nottingham Forest is more beneficial to your future development. Since Mr. Donne promised to give you enough game opportunities, I believe he is serious. You must know more about what this period means to you than me. Playing more games is the key. Since going to Manchester United was also loaned out, why not go to a team to be the main first-team player? What's more..." Canalis glanced at Donne and said to the players he represented, "When your contract expires, you can also choose to go to a larger team and win more honors. Nottingham Forest is just a springboard for you."
