Chapter 105: Tony Tangen, a halfway point (Part 1)

Tony Don and Don, who bought Pique, quickly left Barcelona and Spain.

The Premier League starts earlier than the leagues in other countries and starts in full swing in mid-August, so the preparation time for Premier League teams is also earlier than that of teams in other countries.

Now for Don En, there is a problem that needs to be solved - his partner's coaching certificate.

Tony Donen has an English A-level coaching certificate. Of course, this was obtained in the past and has nothing to do with Tang En who traveled through time. Although Tang is the original Tony Donen, his current Chinese identity does not have any first-level coaching certificate.

Strictly speaking, without a coaching certificate, the FA will not let him be the coach of a Premier League team. If it is in such a situation in a low-level league, the FA will turn a blind eye and pretend that he has not seen it. This is the tradition of English football. Since retired players can be a team doctor with white gloves, why can't retired players be team coaches if they wear suits?

For almost all English football clubs, letting players who have played for many years be coaches after retirement is the best reward for loyalty. Loyalty is what they value the most.

Don is not a retired player of the Forests, but he can be an assistant coach - before the FA in England makes trouble for Nottingham Forest - if anyone criticizes this, it is not because Don does not have a coaching certificate, but because he is too young, and secondly he is not an Englishman.

Tang En and Tang cannot solve these two points. They cannot change their nationality or age. At present, they can only ask Tang to take the exam for a coaching certificate first, which will add some persuasion to the appointment of this new assistant coach - young, non-nationals, and don’t even have a coaching certificate. How do you let us trust this assistant coach?

Tang En specifically asked Tang before making such arrangements. Tang had no objection to taking the coaching certificate again, anyway, he would definitely pass the exam.

So he threw Don in Nottingham, and Don Eun flew away again.

This time he went to Denmark to supplement the team's forward line.

The only people who could stay in the Forests' forward line last season were Freddy Eastwood and Pitt Crouch, two forwards were too few for a team that needed to fight on multiple lines.

Tang En's transfer strategy this summer is mainly to first hold the future Hope Star. Whether it is the head of the Forest team in the future or sell it for money, it is very cost-effective. For example, Pi Kui is like this.

This time he went to Denmark. For a young forward who was not very famous at the time - nicklas_bendtner.

This is a high center forward who is 1.91 meters tall, but his feet are better than most high center forwards, faster speed, excellent heading, strong body, and outstanding skills... These are all his advantages, of course his biggest advantage is his youth.

In the first half of 2004, he played three times in the competition for the Denmark under 16 national team. He scored three goals.

In Don't remember, he was snatched away by Arsenal this summer and has been training and playing in Arsenal youth team and reserve teams. Later, he blocked it in the 2006-07 season and was the number one hero of Birmingham's rush to the Premier League.

It's the summer of 2004. If Done doesn't take action, Bentner will be snatched away by Wenger. Although Done has a bad impression of Arsenal's head coach Wenger, he will not feel merciful when facing such a matter that concerns the team's performance. He flew straight to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. He contacted Bentner's agent and himself by dealing with Pique, and then another negotiation...

Negotiations with Bentner were a little harder than Piquedina once.

First-team position, younger lineup, Premier League teams and League Cup qualifications are the four main conditions for Donn to attract players to join the Forest. This is very tempting, but Bentner is a little hesitant.

Wenger and Arsenal are so famous. Bentner is not a person like Piquin who grew up in the wealthy family. He doesn't know how deep the water in the wealthy family is. Going to Arsenal can satisfy his vanity - it's still a Premier League giant, and Nottingham Forest... Has anyone heard of it?

Don En could only repeatedly state that for Ben Turner, analyzing the pain of going to the giants as a second-team substitute and then being able to play games by loan, as well as being a regular first-team player in a small team, not to mention that Forest can still participate in the League Cup this season. He was the champion of the English League Cup last season, and his fame was not that bad.

However, the concept of the giants is too deep-rooted. For a young player who plays in Denmark, being summoned by European powers is too tempting for him. Wenger promised him that Arsenal's future will definitely belong to him. Although Bentner knew that he would definitely not be able to play first-team games at Arsenal now, it would be a very glorious thing to be the Gunners' main striker in the future.

So Don Eun told him the story of the grievances of the wealthy families, and moved out of Barcelona's young central defender Gerard Pique as an example. Barcelona is also a wealthy family. Pique tried every means to escape. Now he has become a member of Nottingham Forest and does not need to worry about not being able to play the game.

The negotiations with Bentner lasted three or four days. The last Danish guy with long blonde hair was finally convinced by Donne. He agreed to reject Wenger's call and go to the Nottingham Forest.

Then, like the situation faced by Manchester United's coach Ferguson, Wenger also received a call from his scout in Denmark, telling him that the Danish talented striker who Arsenal is bound to win, known as "Denmark Dibrasimovic" and Nick Lasbentner passed by them.

Like Ferguson's reaction, Wenger's first thought was that Ferguson was making trouble behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, the scout told him that he was Nottingham Forest's head coach Tony Donn came to Copenhagen in person and took Bentner away.

Wenger was stunned for a long time when he heard this name, and he thought of the battle in the rain again.

I saw what I said at the time and was about to fulfill it soon.

The next time they meet, they are already in the Premier League.

"Also, sir, there is something very interesting, I think you will be interested in listening to it."

"Um?"

"Do you still have the impression of the Barcelona young center back Herad Pique, the one we competed for some time ago?"

Wenger nodded: "Of course, it's a pity that I'm going to choose Manchester United."

The scout on the other end of the phone laughed: "Sir! Pique did not go to Manchester United. He was snatched from the middle of the way, just like the Bentner we are pursuing. Although the news has not been announced yet, it is certain that this is the final result. Pique is now a player of Nottingham Forest!

Wenger was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

This season's Premier League will become very interesting, right?

After dealing with Pique and Bentner one after another, Tang En no longer went to somewhere to recruit players in person. They had a complete system and could handle transfers via phone and fax. Every time they went in person, how could he do other things?

Evan Dogerty is also accompanying his wife and children in the United States. He just became the new chairman of the team. Forests won a cup championship and Premier League qualification. He is in a good mood. He is not worried about the team's affairs. Anyway, the team is managed by Tony and Allen is responsible for his management, so he doesn't need to do anything.

They just need to discuss something by fax or phone and make a decision.

During this period, Don En recruited three new scouts for the team. In addition to the two people who were originally in the club, Forest has five scouts, which is not a small number for the team that has just been promoted to the Premier League. Of course, compared with Manchester United and Arsenal, which are scouting around the world, it is still not enough.

However, the team building is a very long process, and you cannot hurry, you have to take it step by step.

With the team having a few days left before they finish their vacation and come back to gather, Tang En is even busier. He has many questions to consider, which players in the transfer market are needed by the Forest and can be bought, and who are now in the team who need to be abandoned after entering the Super League. As for the warm-up match arrangements, the production of the team's magazine, media interviews, etc., let alone.

What made him the most headache was how to introduce a young, inexperienced and unsavory Chinese to the coaching staff of the Forest team. Evan didn't know the identity of this new assistant coach. If he knew, what would his expression be on his face?

Don didn't think Evan would pat his shoulder with a smile and said, "Young people are very good."

He also doesn't think that the players will really believe it because he said: "Don't think that this assistant coach is young, he doesn't have a coaching certificate, and he doesn't have a reputation. In fact, he is very powerful!"

He continued to dislike the coaching staff colleagues, the medical team doctors, scouts, turf repair workers, the club restaurant chefs... and Ian McDonald who opened the door would easily believe that Tang would be a qualified assistant coach who could help him a lot.
