Chapter 188 From Youth Team to First Team (Part 2)
Chapter 188: From Youth Team to First Team (Part 2)
Gareth; Bale called his father after he arrived at the first team. When he heard that the Forest team had a professional contract, he threw down the phone and drove from Cardiff to Nottingham before Bale finished speaking.
It takes time to come from there, and Don and Bell can't wait in the office. So although they have not signed a formal professional contract, Don has taken Bell to the training ground and introduced him to all members of the Forest First Team.
Wes; Morgan is happy to see another player from the youth team joining them. Although he has no place in the first team, he is happy to help the new kid.
After Tang En left the introduction, he ignored it and pushed Bale and handed him over to the players.
Seeing Bale soon and Weiss; Morgan got familiar with him, Chris Lack appeared in front of everyone and announced that the day's training had officially begun. Don continued to stand on the sidelines to supervise the team's training.
For Gareth, Bell, there are Wes, Morgan, George, Wood, Karis Lack, and Tony, and Donn's first team is not much different from the youth team he is familiar with.
He believes that he will have a happy life here, will quickly adapt to the coaches' requirements, and will soon have the opportunity to show himself.
Weiss; Mogan took good care of this little brother and helped him many times during training, and Tang En saw it all.
Perhaps in terms of ability, Wes and Morgan can only play as a substitute guard, but this enthusiastic person is indispensable in the team... So Wes and Morgan are also non-selling products of the Forest team.
Not long after the training began, a vibration came from Tang En's cell phone in his pocket.
Tang En took out his cell phone and it was Allen who called it.
Ever since he decided to accept Anelka's transfer negotiations, Allen has not appeared in Don't see him in his sight for a while. He doesn't know how the negotiations are going, whether everything goes well or is in a deadlock.
He thought that Allen called him at this time, it must be about Anelka.
So he quickly walked towards the rest area on the sidelines and found a quiet corner to answer the phone.
"Allen, I almost forgot you."
"Haha! Tony, you know what it is to call you, right?" Don't tell the difference between the situation from Allen's voice. This guy is good at hiding his emotions and true intentions.
"Of course, I can't think of anything else except Anelka." Don shrugged.
"That's right. I hope to confirm again your attitude towards the French striker - it's necessary, it doesn't matter if there is or not."
Tang En thought for a while: "It doesn't matter whether there is or not." He thought that he had roughly guessed the situation there, and the transfer negotiations should have entered a stalemate.
"I can wait until Eastwood returns from injury, and I can take this time to search for a striker in the transfer market. But your time should be fast and you should decide the result sooner. When you are in trouble, Allen?"
"Well..." Allen pondered for a moment. "Those two agents have a big appetite.
They value their younger brother's personal treatment very much. They ask for a commission of 1.2 million pounds of signing fee when they open their mouths - this is only for those two agents, not for their younger brother."
Hearing Allen’s retelling, Tang En was not angry, but laughed. He had known this would be the case for a long time. So he was not surprised or angry at all. “They have always been like this, and they will always be like this.
You told those two guys that the Forests coach said: Either accept Alan; Adams' terms, or pack up and go back to Türkiye! Let them understand their situation.
It’s not that we, Nottingham Forest, ask to come to buy Anelka, but that they both took the initiative to find us and hoped to give their brother a new path.”
Hearing Tang En say this, Allen laughed again: "You have been holding this in your heart for a long time, Tony?"
"Of course, it starts from your insistence on going to negotiate with them."
"Hehe... By the way, Tony. The team recently bought a Chinese player? What are your considerations? The Chinese market?"
"You are really worthy of being the marketing manager, and your mind is full of market development... Allen. I bought him because he is indeed capable of forming a beneficial supplement to the team's strength, not his commercial value. And..." Tang En hesitated for a moment.
"I am not optimistic about the Chinese market at all. If you want to sell jerseys, we should sign a Japanese player. The money of Japanese fans is easy to cheat."
Allen smiled and said, "Tony, you are really worthy of being the manager of the competitive department. Market development is not just about selling jerseys, but opening a few fan supplies stores. But the Chinese player's franchise reminded me that I had a new plan.
Tony, maybe because you are the head coach. So you think that you sign in to the players completely value the players’ skills and the addition of team strength. But I am the marketing manager, and what I value is the players you sign in to the local area.
What role can it have in expanding the club's influence and market. It is your job to train players and lead them to win games and championships, and how to make money for the club is my job."
"You're right, Allen, we each do our own job. By the way, are you negotiating with two Anelka's agents?"
"Yes. "
"So why call me here to talk about Chinese market development?"
"I need to calm down those two guys who have never seen Qian Di in their lifetime. If you have time, we can continue to talk about other things.
Do you like listening to music? I like Elvis, aren’t you surprised? Few people like his songs in this era? Evan also likes Elvis’ songs. I have the same hobbies as him. We are old friends for many years.”
"I like Queens... Ah, you're so bad, Allen!" Donn laughed loudly, and even attracted the attention of the players on the court. "You just let those two Frenchmen wait in the room?"
"Yes, if I hadn't suddenly thought of that Chinese player, I would have gone to find a room to sleep for a while after asking about your attitude towards Anelkati, or go to a cup of coffee to bask in the sun. There are many good cafes on the streets of Paris.
I'll treat you next time I come. Actually, the taste of coffee is not important. What's important is the environment and atmosphere. The temperament of the streets of Paris is very compatible with coffee. There is no such thing in the UK..."
In front of Allen, Don Ng is at a disadvantage. This baby face Allen easily makes others look down on her because of her appearance, but if this is the case, she will have to wait for a big bad luck.
“What drink is suitable for America?”
"Coke, drink while walking."
The two had a very happy chat, as if they had completely forgotten about Anelka. After a while, the two ended the call, and Don Eun returned to the training ground to watch the team's training.
On the other hand, Alan, who hung up the phone, went to the bathroom and breathed in front of the mirror. The face in the mirror became redder and redder, sweat was oozing from his forehead, and then his neck became red. Alan couldn't hold it anymore, so he opened his mouth suddenly.
He held the sink with both hands and gasped heavily to meet the lungs' demand for fresh air.
With a rough gasp, Allen looked up at the mirror again, satisfied with his current condition. Then he loosened the button on the top of his shirt and turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
When Allen was chatting and laughing with Donne on the phone, Claudi, Anelka and Didier, Anelka were already waiting in the hotel room a little impatient.
Before leaving, Allen said he went out to call the team coach to confirm the conditions they offered. Who knew that it had been confirmed for so long...
Every time there was footsteps in the corridor outside the door, both of them had to sit upright again, but every time it was not Alan who came back, which made them very troubled.
When Allen opened the door, he saw two Frenchmen leaning on the chair at a glance, bored. Of course, he ignored the surprise shown by the two Frenchmen, and said to them with apologies: "I'm so sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Ah...it doesn't matter, can we go on, Mr. Adams?"
Alan; Adams sighed: "What's even more sorry is that our head coach Tony; Mr. Donn is not going to accept your terms. I have been arguing with him for a long time, and he insists on his own point of view-Anelka is not the player he needs.
Gentlemen, you know that Anelka is a player I strongly advocated to introduce, and he has opposed this plan from the beginning. So... if he disagrees, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do.
You know, he is responsible for the team, and the club chairman Evan; Mr. Dogerty and Mr. Donen have a very good relationship..." He shrugged, "I'm really sorry, I can do nothing.
He said that if you can't accept the current conditions of the Forest team, then there is no need to continue the transfer negotiations."
Chapter completed!
