Chapter 12 The New Life of the Previous Genius

For a mid-to-lower team or a team that only aims to reach the European arena next season, the transfer budget of 29 million euros is not low. But for a team that is determined to defend multiple championships and plans to make a historical breakthrough in the FA Cup, 29 million may only be enough to buy one person.

Tang En had to live a life carefully. The kind of life that you can sign a check as long as you like was destined to be just a dream.

Perhaps it has something to do with Tang En, and he is not particularly extravagant in dealing with transfer fees. The transfer budget given by the team last summer was not used up, and he even took the exam to sell Anelka and Ashley. Yang made money for the club, which is a proof.

As long as you plan carefully and find the right goal, and if you are lucky, it is not impossible to buy a player with good quality and low price.

In fact, most positions in the Forest team have at least one special substitute player, and only one position is always supported by one person. This position is not the back midfielder that people imagine, but the back midfielder partner.

Van der Fate is the absolute core of the team. His offensive organization is better than Ribery, and he also has the ability to score long shots and set pieces. But Van der Fate is not an iron man like George Wood after all. Although he has not suffered major injuries after transferring to Nottingham Forest, he occasionally has minor injuries, which is a headache. Generally, if he cannot play, Don Eun will let Ribery play a guest midfielder. But this is not a long-term way. Van der Fate is frequently injured in the world known to Don Eun. If he does not suffer major injuries here, it can only be said that Don Eun is lucky. In addition, George Wood helped him share some of the pressure.

In any case, a special midfielder is still needed to rotate with Van der Fate. Even if he is not injured, Van der Fate's physical fitness cannot guarantee that he can play a full season.

After George Wood's rotation was settled, Donn began to have a headache about Vanderfate's replacement.

There is no shortage of excellent and well-known front midfielders in the world, such as Brazil's Kaka is currently the world's number one midfielder. There is also Ronaldinho who was eliminated from Barcelona. Kaka is the kind of player Donnon dream of. Unfortunately, no matter in terms of the team's attractiveness or financial ability, Nottingham Forest cannot get this treasure of Brazil. Ronaldinho... Donnon doesn't like such players with a casual personality and lack of discipline, even if he has talent, he doesn't want it.

Basically, Tang En's goal can only be to those little-known but not world-class stars, and life off-field is relatively simple. Players who won't ask for too high salaries... Ah, there is also a very important point. If this player's boss doesn't want this person, it's best.

But where can I find such a good thing?

Originally during the European Cup, Donn fell in love with Croatia's midfielder Luca Modlic. But Dynamo Sagrab's Lions spoke out loud and insisted on at least 20 million euros before he was willing to release the person. Although Modlic himself really wanted to join the European champion Nottingham Forest, Donnn did not take out two-thirds of the transfer budget for a rotation midfielder. The Forest team could only give up the plan to introduce Modlic and find a new goal.

And Modelic himself finally achieved his goal of entering the top European leagues - he joined Tottenham Hotspur. The transfer fee is as high as 16.6 million pounds, equivalent to 20.88 million euros.

The real mogul in the Premier League this summer is not Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea, but the mid-spread team Tottenham Hotspur.

I can only envy others for being rich and squandered, and Tang En continued to find his favorite goals in the transfer market.

Although Deco is very cheap because Barcelona took the initiative to clean up. But he himself was unwilling to come to Forest. He chose Chelsea, the head coach of the national team. Due to this relationship, Chelsea only spent 8 million pounds.

Nasri is also a young midfielder who is very optimistic about Donn and is called "Zidane II" by the French media. But his price is not cheap, and Nasri himself also hopes to join Arsenal, coached by French professor Wenger. In the end, Arsenal spent 12 million pounds to bring him to the Emirates Stadium.

Dos Santos is also good. He showed enough ability in Barcelona's first team, but lacked opportunities and experience. Nottingham Forest fought fiercely with Tottenham Hotspur. In the end, Dos Santos' personal wish played a key role. He believed that life in Nottingham Forest was no different from being in Barcelona, ​​and Tottenham Hotspur promised to give him a main position. In this way, for 7 million pounds, Tottenham Hotspur bought Didos Santos, known as "Mexican Ronaldo".

The transfer market has suffered consecutive setbacks, which made Don Eun very popular. Time is passing every day, and as August is getting closer, the new season is about to begin. The team has not made any progress in the transfer market. Some media have mocked Nottingham Forest for winning the European Championship and league championship, and its attraction has declined. Such funny things can only happen to Tony Don Eun's team.

So he prayed to God every day before going to bed at night. When he woke up the next day, he opened his eyes and saw a person lying next to him sleeping soundly.

Although such nonsensical things are simply impossible, Tang En finally found a midfielder who meets the current various conditions and has been recognized by Tang En.

In the 2004-05 season, a young genius with dual nationalities of Germany and Türkiye emerged in the Bundesliga. Well. It may be a bit exaggerated to emerge in the novel. But he is indeed a talented teenager in Turkish football.

At that time, Dortmund started and played the whole game. The Turkish boy under the age of 17 became the youngest player in Bundesliga history. Not long after that, he became the youngest player in Bundesliga history. He also became one of the top 100 hope stars in world football.

But becoming famous at a young age put him on a burden too early. In addition, Dortmund was in a financial crisis at that time and the team was in chaos, he also fell into silence.

Just last season, Dortmund, who had oversea midfielder, loaned him to the Dutch super team Feyenoord, hoping to give him enough training. Coincidentally, Feyenoord's head coach officially started his mentor, Teacher Marwek, at Dortmund.

He should have been very good at training in the Netherlands like this. This is the only way for a midfielder star to rise. Van Marwek is very optimistic about the future of his proud disciple.

He made a very successful debut in the Netherlands, scoring a goal in his first game and also had an assist.

But bad luck soon came. In the third game representing Feyenoord, he was maliciously violated by his opponent and fell to the ground. He was pulled away from the court by an ambulance. His face was covered with tears, because only he knew how serious the injury was. At that time, he felt that he had completely lost his left leg. He had no consciousness at all.

The results of the tests sent to the hospital made everyone gasp.

Compounding fracture of cartilage on the left knee, meniscus avulsion, and torn anterior cruciate ligament.

One such injury is a soccer player's career enemy. Now three are happening on one player's left knee. What does it mean?

Feyenoord then announced that he would miss all the remaining games of the season. The surgeon of the operation also said in an interview after the operation that he was not sure whether the Turkish talented player could return to the stadium, because... normal walking may be affected.

At that time, the Netherlands, Türkiye and German media not only condemned the murderer, but also lamented - "A very talented genius player died prematurely!"

Does this remark sound sensational? But it is a true portrayal of his situation at that time.

Fortunately, this strong Turkish young man did not give up his football dream. He actively cooperated with rehabilitation treatment and finally returned to the stadium successfully at the end of the season. At that time, the Dutch media lamented that he had created a miracle of sports medicine.

However, after returning to the stadium, his performance was incomparable to before his injury. The shadow of severe injuries always lingers in his heart, and he dare not do some movements, and he seemed timid on the stadium. The media's comment on him was - "It seems that he lost his original aura overnight."

It's a very appropriate metaphor. The one who once set several records and led Turkey to win the 2005 European Junior Football Championship. The youngest goal scorer in the history of the Turkish national team is now completely indifferent to everyone.

This is a fact that both Dortmund and Türkiye are very sad but cannot be ignored. He was seriously injured and was far from the time he was in many ways.

Van Marwek was also very regretful. He originally hoped to train him to become a world-renowned star. Now it's all over.

After the season, he returned to Dortmund. If he was not injured, there should be a smooth road ahead. He was only nineteen years old and still has a lot of time to create his future. But now, Dortmund has no place in his team. He has lost his talent and body, no longer knows where the future is.

The former genius boy had a very poor family. His father was a Turkish worker in Germany, his mother was a housewife, and his family lived in a small village in Dortmund with more than 30 relatives. If he was not injured, he became the core of Dortmund as he wished, then the family's financial difficulties were nothing. He could get a well-earned contract, buy a house and a car in the city of Dortmund, and live like a rich man.

But now, it's all over.

Dortmund plans to give him a contract, but it is far from the contract they promised. After all, the Star of Hope cannot be the same for substitutes and core players.

Just as he was planning to succumb to fate and signed the contract with Dortmund, someone knocked on his door.

"Nuri Shahing. We're asking. Let's make a price." The Nottingham Woodlander said to Dortmund.

"You must be crazy, Tony. This Turkish kid is not worth buying at all. You can't just vent because you can't buy your own goals in the transfer market. Do you want to vent like this?" Chris Lark was very surprised when he learned that Donn was planning to introduce this Turkish child who was almost forced to retire. His mouth was opened and he could stuff a boiled egg directly.

"You are like a woman who is so angry!"

"You said this so hurt my heart, David." Tang En covered his heart, "I know he was seriously injured. But I think his performance after his comeback was not as good as before, not because of his body. It was his psychology. Unfortunately, neither Feyenoord nor Dortmund cared about this. They habitually believed that the biggest reason for this situation was the regression of physical functions. "

"psychology?"

"In fact, his psychological quality is still very good. Otherwise, he would have announced his retirement after he was injured, because such injuries are not something that a 19-year-old boy can afford. It is just that at this time, others need guidance. I say this, it may not be fair to Shahin. But I do think his injury is a good opportunity for us. Two years ago, when Arsenal bought Rossicky, he planned to bid for three million euros to take Shahin away. But Dortmund refused to let go. They planned to make Shahin the new core of Westphalon. If he was not injured, we didn't even have the opportunity to sit with Dortmund to negotiate prices. Now the other party readily agreed to our offer..."

"Of course, I'll get rid of a burden. They can't ask for it."

"Actually, Shahin's incident reminded me of another thing... I think our club should hire several psychiatrists to serve."

"Ah?" Chris Lack seemed to be listening to a fantasy.

"Frequent injuries, sitting on the bench for a long time has caused depression, state fluctuations, forward goalscoring, goalkeepers conceded continuously, trivial matters in life have affected their performance on the court... These things cannot be solved by training. Our players need psychologists to comfort them, enlighten them, and keep them in a happy mood and have a healthy mind." Tang En touched his chin and nodded, "I think it is very necessary and imminent. Now I will tell the Chairman."

After saying that, he was about to get up.

"Hey, Tony. That Turkish kid..." Chris Lak stopped him.

"What else is there? Dortmund agreed to our 2 million euro offer, and the only thing left is to sign a contract with him." Don En looked back at his assistant, "Ah, I forgot to say another reason why his injury was good for us. We can take the opportunity to lower his treatment... Of course. It will be more than he did at Dortmund, but he can only rank downstream in the team. He himself cannot fight for better treatment with us. Now give him a chance to play football in the European Championship team, and he should thank us. Buying such a person can always balance our weekly salary budget than buying a person like Ronaldinho.

After saying that, Tang En went out to Evan to talk in detail about the suggestions for recruiting psychologists.

Leave Chris Lack and Don in the office. Chris Lack turned his head to look at Don: "Don, you and him are neighbors, what do you think?"

"This is the best way to do it in terms of players and teams." Tang replied expressionlessly.

Two days later, Nottingham Forest and Dortmund announced at the same time that the 19-year-old Turkish teenager transferred from Westphalia to the city stadium for 2 million euros.

As soon as this news came out, the English media was in a bad mood. Two years ago, the Forest team would be praised for their introduction of Shahin. Now, it is endless ridicule and ridicule that pounced on Tony Don.

Everyone knows what happened to this Turkish kid last season. To be honest, if he has a bright future, I won’t mention it. Now there are still people who can still believe that he can recover to the level of pre-injury. There are not many people in the world who can be found. Maybe the head coach of the Turkish national team, Trim, is one, and Tony Donn is the second one.

"Buy a kid who almost retired from two million euros?"

"Tony Donne can always bring us fun"

"The fool only believes that Shahin can recover"

"I can't understand Tony Donn's actions in the transfer market... First, Juventus doesn't want the parallels, and then Shahin broke his leg in the Netherlands. The double champion, who is the European champion and league champion, is like a rag-picking..."

"I can guarantee my personality that Nuri Shaheen will be the most failed acquisition of Tony Don't during his tenure!"

"Tony Donn told us with practical actions that there are all kinds of wonders in this world."

For the English media who like to pick and sarcasm the most, they can find opportunities to mock Don Eun. It is really something that makes them happy. Of course, they suspect Shahin's ability is not related to Tang En. Shahin's sarcasm may be out of personal grudges. But Shahin's ability is indeed not recognized by these people at all.

"...I will suffer such serious injuries in the Dutch League. Are all defensive players in the English League good men? I really don't know what Tony Donn thinks. Maybe his brain structure is different from that of us ordinary people?"

Remarks like this are flying everywhere, and everyone is criticizing and questioning Tang En's transfer, and some even doubting whether he has taken any kickbacks. Tang En is too lazy to argue with them, and he thinks that these flies actually helped him a lot.

When Shahin arrived in Nottingham, Don welcomed the Turkish "former" genius who was still a little depressed, holding a bunch of newspapers that scolded them.

"Do you understand English?" asked Tang En through the translation.

"I only know a little bit..." Shahin's mood was very depressed when he first arrived in a new environment, and he whispered.

Seeing him like this, Tang En was even more convinced that Shahin was a psychological problem. He smiled and handed the newspaper to Shahin, and then told him through the translator: "All the newspapers are scolding me, saying that I spent two million to introduce someone who can't play football anymore. Ah, they also questioned your ability by the way."

The translator looked at Tang En with wide eyes, not understanding why he said this. Tang En just winked at him and asked him to follow the translation.

At this time, Shahin had already focused on these colorful newspapers, and his photos appeared on the headlines of the sports page, most of which were photos of him when he was injured in the Netherlands. He didn't have to know much English. Just seeing these photos, he already knew that there was nothing good about it. So he felt even more depressed.

After hearing the translator's words, he looked up at Don Eun strangely.

The man smiled and did not take the media's scolding seriously: "You may not understand now, but you will wait for you to stay in this team for a little longer. Your English level has improved. You will be clear--I," he pointed to himself first and pointed to the newspaper. "The reputation here is not good. It's almost the same as 'infamous'. Now I insist on bringing you to Nottingham Forest and found them a reason to attack me. But I don't care. They scold them and I do what I do. And I'm not the same as those idiots. I believe your future is bright!"

Since his injury, Shahin heard all the words he heard were lamenting, and everyone was lamenting that his fate was unfair, which made a genius die. He might have become a star, but now he has become a meteor. He didn't want to listen to such words that people were depressed and depressed. Unexpectedly, he just arrived in Nottingham. But he heard the head coach of this team say to him, "I believe your future is bright!"

Looking up at the man's smile, he suddenly felt that it might be a blessing to leave Dortmund to come here.

"Now the whole of England is not optimistic about your new life. Do you want to give them some great things in the near future? Let them know how outrageous they were when they were wrong?" Tang En blinked at Shahin. There seemed to be a kind of magic in his hoarse voice. Shahin nodded involuntarily after hearing this.

Tang En laughed and patted his back hard: "Then beef up your fighting spirit! Don't look like a dead woman. I promise that when you successfully slap them in the face, you will feel very happy, hahaha!"

The next day, at the press conference, Shahin showed his earth skills in front of hundreds of Forest fans and dozens of media reporters. Don Eun watched him perform with a smile on his face. It was no different from before he was injured. In the bright sunshine that finally appeared, he showed his inspiration and skills as a creative midfielder.

Then he and Don hold up the red Nottingham Forest jersey with his name and number printed on it.

16 This is his number on the new team.

A new life begins like a new number.
Chapter completed!
