Chapter 41 David's Strategy

"America!" Don't screamed, startled Beckham on the other end of the phone. Even though the airport was taking off and landing the plane, he still had to take his phone away from his ear.

"What's wrong, Tony?"

Tang En, who realized that he was out of control, quickly coughed: "Just... I feel surprised, aren't you in Spain? Why did you suddenly run to the United States?"

"I was injured recently and couldn't play the game. I happened to come to the United States to negotiate a contract." Beckham explained.

Tang En's heart sank again.

"Transfer contract?" he asked jokingly.

Sure enough, Beckham's laughter came from over there: "How is it possible...it's just an ordinary business contract."

Tang En breathed a little relieved.

"By the way, is there anything you want to ask me, Tony?" asked Beckham.

"Uh...I plan to ask for Merry Christmas..."

"It's only ten days now." Beckham smiled happily.

"Advance...ask ahead of time, I know you are very busy. Then I won't bother you... I wish you a good time in the United States."

"Thank you, Tony, then I'll say Merry Christmas in advance."

After hanging up the phone, Beckham frowned. Victoria looked back at him: "What's wrong, David?"

"Tony, Tony Don't call."

"That friend of Shania?" Victoria thought.

Beckham nodded.

"Is there anything he has to do with you?"

Beckham smiled: "What else can I do? He wants me to go back to England to play football."

“Go to Nottingham Forest to play football?”

"Um. "

While the two were talking, they had already walked out of the airport passage. The fans and reporters who were waiting outside were in agitation when they saw the Beckhams and his wife finally appeared.

Beckham stopped talking to his wife, raised his hand and waved at the people waiting here, with a bright smile like the sunshine in California, USA. It immediately caused another scream from women.

"So what do you think, David?"

Beckham seemed to have not heard his wife's questioning. He just continued to show in front of the camera and in front of the public.

The next day, Donn paid attention to news about Beckham's trip to the United States. Newspapers and TV networks mentioned that Beckham used his time to go to the United States when he was recuperating, but he only attended a press conference promoting his brand in New York.

There was no news about his contact with the Los Angeles Galaxy and the Major League.

Tang En then felt relieved. It seemed that it was really just an ordinary business meeting.

The side effect of this news is that Beckham further fell out of favor in Capello's heart. Italian coach believes that his behavior of going out to participate in commercial activities without the professional ethics that a professional player should have is a blatant challenge to his authority.

Beckham's bench sat more firmly...

Also on this day, Allen Adams excitedly came to Don.

"Tony. I heard you and Beckham are friends?" As soon as he stepped into the head coach's office, Allen shouted loudly.

Tang En was reading the news online. He heard Allen's voice, turned off the web page, and looked up at him: "Yes, I've had dinner together."

"It's easy to deal with...you know that Beckham has been in Real Madrid recently, right?"

Donn guessed Allen's intentions and shook his head: "It's useless, Allen. I asked him at the beginning of the season. He refused without hesitation if he wanted to play football in England."

Allen didn't give up at all: "That was the beginning of the season, and at that time Beckham must have been full of longing and fantasy for his new head coach.

It's different now... Haven't you read the news just now? Capello is very dissatisfied with Beckham's private trip to the United States this time."

"Beckham said he had agreed with the club's senior management."

Allen waved his hand: "Who can tell this clearly? But this is not something we need to care about. Now the whole world knows that he is unhappy in Real Madrid, and many clubs are scrambling to ask him to join... You must know.

After this Christmas, he is free. He will not spend a penny transfer fee. "Alan seems to have seen a golden future.

"Beckham... do you know what he means in the commercial market, Tony?" His tone was a little high and his emotions were a little excited.

Tang En nodded: "Of course I know."

"That's good. That's good... What are the advantages of our Forest team compared to other teams?" Allen pointed to Tang En and said, "You are his friend, so this matter is easy to deal with.

You can persuade him to choose to join Nottingham Forest, not as the head coach of Nottingham Forest, but as his friend, it is like a heart-to-heart talk.

When he is confused about the future and is feeling painful about the status quo, you call him and have a heart-to-heart talk with him on a cold winter night..."

Allen said it was exciting, completely ignoring Tang En, who was beside him, and dancing and describing the illusions in his mind.

Don leaned against his chair and tilted his head to watch Allen perform.

This person was a little uneasy due to the huge commercial value of Beckham...

After Allen finally finished speaking, Donn asked with his chin on his hand: "Allen, I admit that your idea is great, but you are a little too wishful thinking. Do you know how deep David has to do with Manchester United?"

When Allen heard Tang En ask this, he was stunned. He had never considered football-level things. The starting points he just mentioned were all about Beckham, who came to the Forest Team.

How many jerseys can be sold by the Forest team, how much international influence can be expanded by the Forest team? How many new land big-name sponsors can be brought to the Forest team...

Seeing that Allen's face was gloomy, Tang En quickly smiled and waved his hand: "I don't mean to blame you, Allen. Your idea is very good, although it's just from the perspective of business operations.

But isn’t this your job? Football matters are my consideration. But I think we need to integrate everyone’s opinions. You just mentioned your thoughts, do you want to listen to me?”

Allen made a gesture of asking for help.

So Donn told Allen about his conversation with Beckham during his last meal with Beckham.

After hearing this, Allen was stunned for a while. “He really said that?”

Tang En nodded.

Allen stopped talking, he sat on the sofa and scratched his head. Don could fully understand Allen's mood at this moment.

For a person who was facing a huge mountain of gold and tried every means to hollow out the mountain, he suddenly told him that the mountain of gold is just an illusion and could not be dug. What was that feeling? It would be not an exaggeration to say that there were ten thousand ants crawling in his heart?

——I don’t want to be an enemy with Manchester United, so I won’t go back to England.

The words Beckham said to him again in Don't hear him. He turned his eyes to the blue sky outside the window.

Do you still think so until now, David?

When Tang En was in a daze at the blue sky outside the window, Alan Adams behind him stood up.

"Although he said that... I still think we should work hard."

Tang En turned around and looked at Allen in surprise.

"Just. I think it's better to convince David Beckham himself than to convince his wife." Allen continued. "Victoria is the only one who can influence him."

"But I can't convince Victoria..." Tang En spread his hands and said he could not help.

"No, you can." Allen was determined. "Did you forget how you and Beckham met?"

A thought suddenly flashed through Tang En's mind.

Shania and Victoria are friends, so he becomes friends with Beckham…

"Okay, I'll try it. But I don't promise anything." Don Eren also wanted to talk to Beckham again. Of course, there is no need to say about the commercial value of Allento, he also knows how rich it is.

Even from a competitive perspective, Beckham is the player he hopes to get.

Excellent passing ability. There is no problem whether you play as a wing forward or a midfielder. Active running and professional attitude can also set a good example for young people in the team.

I am a little older, but it’s just right when I’m older. I can’t play for a few years and then come in to take over the team and make a smooth transition to the new era... How great.

"...David Beckham is in big trouble. But has he encountered less trouble in Spain? Since he transferred to Real Madrid, he has been entangled in all kinds of troubles, on the court and off the court.

Family... Now, his life in this century-old wealthy club is finally coming to an end."

The latest local sports news was broadcast on the huge LCD TV. Capello expressed strong dissatisfaction with Beckham's private trip to the United States when answering questions about reporters at the team's regular press conference.

"…He is a professional player, and he should know what it means to leave the team and go to that kind of place at this time..."

In the picture, Beckham appeared in the circle of reporters: "...I got permission from the club's senior management..." After that, he got into the car and left.

"Beep--" The screen turned black and the TV was turned off.

"Stop looking at this." Beckham stood behind Victoria in his pajamas, holding the TV remote control in his hand.

Victoria turned her head and smiled at him. "It's time to think about the future, David. America is a good place, to be precise, Los Angeles."

Beckham frowned and didn't say anything. Recently, his smile on his face has decreased a lot, unless he looks like this most of the time in front of the public media.

"I'm tired of Real Madrid's attitude." Victoria continued, "It's obvious that they don't want to renew your contract. Everyone here sees you as a trouble. Leaving is the best way."

Beckham walked around and sat down. “Of course… leaving is the best way. But where should I go after leaving?”

"Did you forget the development plan I have made for you? David?"

Beckham shook his head gently.
