Chapter 189: Eight Million (Part 2)
Just the day after Fenerbahce announced Anelka's transfer, the Piaotian Silk Station also published a large photo of Anelka and pointed out with a prominent title that the Forest team will welcome an excellent scorer.
The high-profile publicity also confirmed the news from Türkiye, and the English media was in a panic.
Almost one-sidedly, this transfer was arguing. Many people questioned Tang En's decision.
“…I could hardly believe my eyes, I thought this day was April 1st.
That Anelka is back! It's so damn! Please apologize for using swear words, but I can't figure out Tony anyway; why did Coach Donn choose this Frenchman?”
"Tony; Coach Done must be confused and actually chose Anelka. Does he think his locker room is too calm?"
"What's good about the French? There are many forwards who can score goals like him, but there are not many forwards like him who have a headache for every coach in the world."
"...sorry, actually I think Tony; Coach Done wants to challenge himself."
"...This is very good. We can take the opportunity to hype up Anelka's bad deeds in England in the past few years. But don't expect us to interview Anelka."
"What puzzles me is why Anelka chose to return to England after just half a season. It seems that he was not happy in Turkey.
But I think if he doesn't change his personality and fire his two agent brothers, he won't be happy anywhere."
"To be honest, I'm not optimistic about Tony at all; Tang En's decision was originally full of expectations for the Forests' new season, but now I've changed my mind..."
...
Tang En shook the newspapers and complained in front of Tang: "I never said I wanted to buy that Frenchman from beginning to end. I was like helping that guy Alan take the blame."
"But the media don't know what's going on between you."
Tang En knew this, of course, he paced back and forth in the room for a few irritation, and then took off his laptop from the room upstairs.
"What are you going to do?" Tang asked in confusion.
"Write the article, give me a column. Scream those bastard media!" Tang En gritted his teeth and pressed the boot button.
"What are you scolding? They are making up for not knowing what happened between you and Allen?"
"No, scold them for their various doubts, criticisms and ridicule of Anelka."
Tang was so surprised by this answer that he stopped watching the video. He stood up and turned to Tang En's back, watching him open the word document.
"You are not..."
Tang En knew what he was going to say. So he nodded: "Yes, I don't like the two agents of the French striker, I hate Wu Jiwu, so I don't like the French striker either.
But... Now Anelka has become a member of the Forest team, even if I have my subordinates, the media will scold my players, and I will never allow them.
The rules that I can't set myself up are broken by Anelka - no one can criticize my players, besides myself. It depends on the owner to beat a dog, right?"
Tang frowned and thought for a moment: "Are you angry at the media's doubts about you?"
Tang En shrugged: "Whatever you think." Then he stopped talking and typing quickly on the keyboard.
The next day, Don Eun's column published the full text, which comprehensively refuted the media's various doubts and ridicule of Anelka.
Although in the eyes of many professional sports journalists, this article is used to refute the media from time to time, but instead expresses Don't stand his attitude - he supports Anelka.
Pierce; Bruce, as the reporter closest to Don En, knew about this transfer transaction. Don En's attitude. So after getting this article, he was very surprised why Don En's attitude made a 180-degree turn.
If it is out of protecting his subordinates... Bruce thinks this explanation is a bit far-fetched.
What Bruce finds strange is Nottingham Forest Club chairman Evan Dogette. In the afternoon, Anelka joined the Forest team press conference, and he feels it is necessary to ask clearly.
Faced with this problem, Don En smiled mysteriously: "Whether I like Anelka or not, he has come, I can't tell Fenerbahcea that because I don't like it, you will bring me back. This is definitely not possible, right?"
Evan nodded in agreement.
"Since I'm here, I definitely can't put him on the bench or put him on the reserve team just because I don't like him. That's a waste of the club's money. So I plan to use him well and let him play the best role."
Evan continued to nod. All fools understand this principle. He doesn't understand what it has to do with his problem.
Looking at the puzzled Evan, Done coughed: "There are nonsense in front of you, let me tell you this, Evan.
There is a saying in China that is "use both soft and hard", which means that gentle and tough means must be used. This is the case against Anelka. A single means will not work. You must let him know that the coach trusts him and supports him.
At the same time, he must also let him know that if he plans to use this to do something out of line, there will be no good results. Now, as a meeting gift, I let him feel the warmth of the team and the head coach's support for him.
After that…” Tang En blinked.
At the afternoon press conference, Don En showed what he said was "passion" in front of others. He praised Anelka's scoring ability to make the defender a headache, but never mentioned Anelka's equally headache-provoking personality and temper.
In short, if you listen to Don Endi's speech at a press conference, you will definitely think that this is the most important acquisition of the Forest in summer. Anelka is simply the hope of the Forest's future.
Bruce shook his head when he heard it below. According to his understanding of Don En, when Don En is so obvious and even a little exaggerated, it often does not mean that the person being praised will have a good life.
However, Anelka, who has not had much contact with Don En, does not know about these things, and he is also very happy with the support and trust shown by the head coach.
Being able to return to the heart of world football, the head coach of the new team supported him, which made him feel much more excited at the press conference. Of course, he also talked about his original intention of joining the Forest team:
"The Forest team is a very enterprising team, and Coach Tangen is also a very capable coach. He has talked to me and he has many great goals. I hope I can help him achieve those goals."
Almost all reporters rolled their eyes in their hearts. Who would believe what Anelka said?
Does he believe it himself?
When Don and Anelka finally stood up and took a photo with the No. 39 Forest jersey, the reporters looked at the bright and even dazzling smile on Don En's face, and then looked at Anelka's slightly shy but confident smile, they all knew that the Forest team this season had a good show...
