Chapter 186 Impression (Part 1)

Anelka's affairs were left to Allen; Adams went to deal with them, and Don no longer asked, whether it was OK or not, Allen gave him a word.

He devoted all his energy to the team's training and continued signings.

The team really can't find a better candidate for the midfielder, so he decided not to let Gunnarson leave the team for now.

Although Gunnarson's ability is far less than George; Wood, even if he needs to play as a substitute, his role will be limited.

Donn's plan did not consider Gunnarson's play. He felt that unless Wood was impulsive, Gunnarson would not have too many opportunities to play this season. He kept Gunnarson on the team just to deal with unexpected situations.

Although four million pounds introduced Pepe, Donn's transformation on the defense line has not yet ended. For teams who are going to compete in the European Champions League, Donn knows the importance of defense.

It can be said that in the past decade, almost all teams that can win the European Champions League have relied on not offense, but defense. Only teams with good defense can go further in such cup-like competitions.

Tang En believes that the Forest team still lacks an all-round player who can play multiple positions, commonly known as "panacea". Such a person does not need to have great abilities, but he must be able to adapt quickly in all positions and perform at a normal level.

But such people are not easy to find.

Tang En was scratching his head, but he couldn't imagine anyone suitable to play as a substitute for the Forest Team...

Initially, he focused his attention on young players. Due to his habit of playing FM, Don always likes to use young players, and he has a slight "pedophile" in coaching.

He hopes that the players he bought are young and talented, and can play for the Forest for a long time.

But isn’t it a waste for such people to play substitutes? What’s more, if they are genius boys, which club will easily give it to their competitors?

Done fell in love with Manchester City's young defender Micah; Richards, the 17-year-old boy is still in the Manchester City youth team. But it has attracted a lot of attention.

Forests asked Manchester City to buy Richards, but Manchester City refused.

No matter how good Stuart and Pierce have a relationship with Donne, it is something that cannot be negotiated. Richards is the future star of Manchester City. Donne likes him, and Pierce also likes him.

On the phone, Pierce told Don very frankly that he would not sell Richards to any team because this black child is the future of Manchester City.

Now he is the captain of the youth team, and he may be able to serve as the captain of the Manchester City first team in the future.

Hearing Pierce say this, Donn knew that his idea of ​​having Richards completely could end there.

If you want to buy it, you may have to wait a few years later. However, at that time, will Richards still show the same level as his talent, and whether the Forests can still want to buy it? It is not certain.

"...Since that's the case, Pierce. I want to buy another player from Manchester City - Sun Jihai."

Hearing this name, Pierce frowned: "That Chinese? But he is now our landlord..."

"Pearce, it's either Richards or Sun Jihai. You always have to get one, right? Or you rent Richards to me..."

Pierce pondered for a while, then said, "I need time to think about it, Tony. Please wait for my phone call."

Sun Jihai is the name that Tang En mentioned casually, and of course he knows that Sun Jihai is now the main force of Manchester City.

In addition to being troubled by injuries last season, he has been the number one candidate for Manchester City's right-back position from the Championship to the Premier League. However, he has only returned from injury recently, which has made people question his level.

Don't have the main purpose of the latter sentence "or you loan Richards to me". He felt that Pierce would not agree to sell Sun Jihai to himself. After all, Manchester City needs Sun Jihai now, but Richards is still in the youth team, so it is a good idea to loan it to Forests.

Tang En's mind was still Richards. But he didn't expect that the news of his desire to buy Sun Jihai was found out by the omnipresent media. The one who responded the most strongly was of course the Chinese media:

How proud is the Chinese people of a team that has qualified for the European Champions League. If the deal is successful, Sun Jihai will become the first Chinese player to appear in the Champions League.

So the fact that these horoscopes are not yet discussed, after a short period of hype by Chinese media, the Chinese people believe that Sun Jihai joins Nottingham Forest is a foregone conclusion.

Tang En also once again saw the enthusiasm from China...

"In just one afternoon, there were seventeen phone calls for interviews. Some hoped to interview me directly.

Some hope to get confirmation from the club's news... They are almost hyped up, "Sun Jihai has joined Nottingham Forest," and now I remember to confirm it!" Tang En clapped a stack of paper in his hand and said to Tang sitting in front of him.

"Your Chinese compatriots are so enthusiastic..."

Tang smiled: "Isn't it yours?"

"Uh, sorry, I'm so immersed." Tang En scratched his head.

Tang turned around and exited a box of videotapes from the recorder, with the side tag "sun_jihai" written on it, and handed it to Tang En: "He really meets your requirements very well, can play almost all positions on the defense line, can also play back midfielder and wing forward... If you want, he can also play forward.

”

Tang En took the video and shook his head: "Of course I know these things. I think he plays football earlier than you... But... I don't think Pierce will let Sun Jihai give us. In the right back position, they don't have many players to choose from."

Tang glanced at Tang En, and Tang En raised his hand to surrender: "Okay, I honestly want Sun Jihai, I don't want Sun Jihai, my mind is full of Richards, I just hope that Pierce will understand that they still cannot lack Sun Jihai.

But you can rent Richards to us…”

"Then what are you doing now with a frown?"

Tang En curled his lips: "I'm worried about how to deal with the enthusiastic Chinese media. Tell them the truth, am I kidding?"

"Personal and perfunctory." Tang, who was busy choosing a video tape, buried his head and said this. Tang En looked at him.

The next day, Don Neng found Barbara who was responsible for media reception; Miss Lucy: "So many media... we can't hold a press conference for a transfer in our minds. You chose a media outlet to come to Wilford. I'll talk to them alone, and I'll push the rest of the place.

”

"Okay, Mr. Tang En."

Barbara and Miss Lucy's style of doing business is not like a woman at all, she is very capable and decisive. She agreed to Tang En's affairs in the morning, and in the afternoon two Chinese journalists came to the Wilford training base.

After showing the ID to Old Yian in the guard room, Yian answered the phone number in Miss Lucy's office, confirmed the identity of the two, and let them in.

After the two reporters entered the training base, they looked around curiously. They should be regarded as the first two Chinese reporters to enter the training base of the forest team.

Miss Lucy did not let the Chinese guests wait too long, and came out of the building to lead them to Donn's office.

Don was not in the office, so Miss Lucy arranged for them to sit here and wait. She made two cups of tea for them and left.

Two Chinese journalists, a man and a woman, stood up from the sofa after Miss Lucy closed the door and left. They looked carefully at the office that was not big, with a whole wall filled with books and various books related to football. The desk seemed very messy.

A computer is in hibernation state, and a slight buzzing sound is made in the chassis.

A glass cabinet stands in front of the wall on one side of the sofa, where the team's head coach's personal honors are placed - three League One (now the Championship) League's best coaches of the month, and two Premier League's best coaches of the month.

One of the best local coaches in the Premier League last season.

The male reporter laughed at the last trophy: "The best coach in the Premier League last season was Mourinho. It is said that many people in the British football circle thought that Don Eun lost because he was not famous enough, and lost to Nottingham Forest, which was not as influential as Chelsea..."

A female reporter on the other side took over his words: "If Forests had the influence of Chelsea but only won the fourth place in the league, I'm afraid Don Eun will be dismissed by the board of directors."

The man looked back at her and smiled dryly: "I said Tang Jing, you are a football reporter now. He is not Mourinho's star-chasing family. Please pay attention to your identity."

The female reporter called "Tang Jing" ignored her colleagues, but walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the training ground not far away. Here, she could see the team's training situation clearly and hear the whistle sounding from time to time.

The Forest players were training under the coaching staff, and Done turned his back to the window, as usual. He did not show himself on the court. Instead, he stood by and supervised.

The male reporter walked to Tang Jing and quickly scanned the crowd.

Then he pointed to a tall bald player and said: "That's Pepe, four million pounds, used up the only special genius spot for the Forest this season. I don't know what will behave in the new season."

The woman's attention was not on the team, and she always looked at Tony with her back to her; Donne.

Barbara, who had just led them in, appeared on the training ground, and she walked to Don Eun and was talking about what she was saying. It should be telling him that someone from the media came. Don Eun just nodded and did not look back at his office behind him.

Miss Lucy spread the news and left. Tang En continued to supervise training on the sidelines, and did not mean to turn around and leave back to the office.

"That's George; Wood, who is serious, is very consistent with the media's evaluation of him. It is not easy to see the training of Forest Team 1 at such a close distance..." The man is more interested in the players of Forest Team.

Tang Jing interrupted, "Uncle Wang, you are an old football reporter, but you are not a little fan. Pay attention to your identity a little."

The middle-aged man, known as "Uncle Wang", laughed embarrassedly: "You learned it, little girl! I said, you don't like this coach, why are you running with me to join in the fun?"

“For the job.”

"I'll be the only one who comes to work..."

"Uncle Wang!"

"Ahem. Honestly..." Uncle Wang changed the subject, "This coach Tang En is still very interesting. He likes Chinese culture and is rumored to speak fluent Chinese.

I think it would be quite interesting if his team and Sun Jihai were involved.

If Sun Jihai really could come to the Forest Team, it might be a good opportunity for him - think about how helpful it would be to Jihai if a coach who can communicate directly with Jihai in Chinese?"

"Sun Jihai is also the main position in Manchester City. What does the Forest team buy Sun Jihai? I think it is to serve as a substitute for the French defender. From the main force of a team to a substitute, I don't think it will be of any help to Sun Jihai's career."

"But Nottingham Forest has qualified for this season's Champions League."

"It's just that the Champions League qualifiers are qualified. Can you play the main game? I have to wait until they win Villarreal. Who is the only opponent they lost in the group stage of the League Cup last year? Villarreal.

"Tang Jing is not optimistic about the future of the Forest team in the Champions League.

Uncle Wang did not refute Tang Jing's words. He was a whole round older than this girl who had just been sent to the UK by the club. He didn't have to compete with a girl.

Of course, the most important reason is that Tang Jing is the president's daughter, and he often has to give in on the surface.

Although Tang Jing is indeed capable and is also a professional journalist. She has been influenced by her father since she was a child and is also very interested in football. She came to London by the back door to the newspaper office but not for the purpose of gold-plated vases.

But who knows how she would tell her father after she got home, how would her doting daughter understand what she said? So it is always good to be careful.
