Chapter 81 Let’s bet!

Donn's decision to sign Ibisevic shocked the English media.

Previously, these media knew that Don En wanted to buy a "high-end" striker, so many names were used by them to connect with Nottingham Forest. But no one guessed that he actually bought Ibisevic, which is generally not favored!

Some media said that if Tang En didn't deliberately want to be right with us, then his brain would have problems. Some media also expressed different opinions, saying that if Tang En really insisted on being right with us, then his brain would have problems.

"I only performed well in one season, spent 90% of my career hang out in low-level league teams and were all unbearable in the forwards, and I was actually highly expected by Don En. What did he say before? 'Our goal is the Champions League', now please allow me to laugh for three minutes..." Carl Spike was very excited on the show because he found another excuse to attack Don En. He laughed very happily in the show "Things of Football..."

Since Don Ever led the team to win the fourth place in the league and successfully won the next season's Champions League place, Carl Spike's life has been difficult for a while. Don Ever called Spike in his column, making Spike unable to even pay back his words. Because he was not optimistic about the Forest before the season, he was convinced that by the end of the season, Don Ever's team really did what he thought they would never do. The Scouts won, and Carl Spike could only swallow his teeth even if he was knocked out. He could not curse him like Don Ever, no matter what reason. Since he wanted to criticize Don Ever, he could not be the object of his criticism. He must maintain such a "fair image" that he always emphasized in the minds of the audience.

Now, after several months of distress, he finally caught such a reason to scold Tang En openly. Naturally, he had to mock him very much on the show and do his best.

"I don't deny the miracle Hoffenheim created in the 2008-09 season. I was also excited for such a team at that time. But obviously Tony Donn was emotional, and he must also like that team like me, because Hoffenheim's performance reminded him of Nottingham Forest's performance just returned to the Premier League. But buying people cannot rely on emotions. Calmly analyze Ibisevic's level, and even a fool can tell that he will definitely not be successful. I think there is a saying in the German media.

The match was right - Ibisevic scored his whole life goal in that season! Looking at his 2009-10 season, it was terrible..." Carl Spike covered his face. "A player like this is a waste even if he only spent 10 million pounds at the club! Not to mention 10 million euros plus a Petrov. It is said that Tony Donn personally ran to Hoffenheim. He and Rothhouse had a secret talk. We don't know if there is any secret deal between them..."

Although he kept saying "not known", he deliberately attracted everyone's attention in this regard.

"I don't think I have to wait for September 1st. I can now give Ibissevic the most failed signing this summer and the biggest square-crossing place in the Premier League in the new season. He deserves it! I have prepared popcorn and drinks, and wait to watch the jokes of Tony Don and Ibissevic after the start of the new season. "Super Ibis? Not to mention the 'super joke', Don should be thankful!"

Carl Spike is not isolated and helpless every time he criticizes Tangen, because there are many people in the media who question and dislike Tangen.

That's why he could rely on scolding Tang En to get a job hosting a new show on Sky TV.

The reason why he is regarded as the representative of "Tang Enhe" is because he charges forward every time and attacks Don En with sharp words and words. He is the most famous and persistent one. Others may change their views on Don En in certain things. But Carl Spike will not.

After such an introduction, it is not difficult to understand why it became another battlefield at the press conference where Donn introduced Ibisevic to the media and fans.

This time, Carl Spike came to Nottingham as a Sky Television reporter, seemingly vowing to compete with Don Eun.

The press conference was held at 3 pm in the press room of the city stadium.

A total of thirty journalists came, Carl Spike sat in it. He had a pleasant chat with other colleagues. He did not hide his disgust towards Don Eun at all, and used this as his sign to show off everywhere. During the chat, he mentioned more than once what the transfer might be insider.

When Donn brought Ibisevic and the press officer to appear, the scene quickly became quiet and the reporters sat back to their seats. They quietly waited for the assistants to ask questions.

As soon as Tang En sat down, he saw Carl Spike sitting in the front row smiling. Of course he knew what Spike had said in the past two days, but he remained silent and began to introduce Ibisevic.

This introduction is dull, and the reporters who did it again knew very well that Ibisevic knew very well. What they wanted was to raise their hands to ask questions.

After Don En finished speaking, Ibisevic also introduced himself. He did not boast about his crazy performance in the 2008-09 season. He did not mention his poor performance last season, but only praised Nottingham Forest's brilliant past and expressed his low-key attitude that he hoped to contribute to the team.

Both of them finished speaking, and the press officer signaled that the reporter could ask questions freely.

Carl Spike was the first to raise his hand and pointed his straight arm towards the ceiling, fearing that Tony Donn, who was right in front, would not be able to see it.

Sandy Albert, a press officer who had a tacit understanding with Donne, deliberately did not go to see Carl Spike, and his eyes were around him and clicked the reporters in the back row.

But the question this reporter asked was similar to Carl Spike: "I am a local reporter from The Times. Mr. Tony Donn. Ibissevic has never proved that he has the ability to play in the top teams in the top league. Is this deal too risky?"

"Any player transaction is risky. I am not a wizard who predicts the uncertainty. I only buy players I think are suitable for.

The second reporter who stood up came from the British Football Magazine 442. He also cared about whether Ibisevic could adapt to the Premier League and meet the team's requirements.

Tang En's answer was: "I think he can adapt to the Premier League. He can also meet the team's requirements."

The reporter asked for the reasons.

"He is very strong and a very comprehensive shooter. He can not only shoot by himself, but also create opportunities for his teammates. He can put pressure on the defender in the penalty area and pull out the ball to control the ball. His mentality is calm, which can be seen from his experience. I can't find the shortcomings."

"But his goals are unstable." The third person was Carl Spike. He kept holding his hand and shook in front of the press officer's eyes. Tang En signaled the press officer to click him. He stood up and did not introduce himself. The first sentence was this. "And only in that season I scored a lot of goals, and the performance in other seasons was enough to prove that he was just the last place in Europe!"

Don En sneered: "You don't have to say anything, Mr. Spike." He glanced at Ibisevich, who was still trying to keep a smile despite being embarrassed.

"So, Mr. Spike. Do you want us to make a bet? If Ibi scores in all competitions in the new season, you will shave your thick hair. If he can't, I'll shave my hair. How about it?"

There was an uproar in the scene. Even Ibisek turned his head to look at his head coach in surprise.

Tang En looked at Spike with a confident smile.

Carl Spike also laughed: "Very good, I agree. If I lose, I will shave my hair on my show. If you lose. You have to hold a special press conference to let everyone watch your shaving on the spot."

"make a deal!"

This is a situation that no one expected, but it seems that both sides are happy to see it.

The little commotion caused by the betting incident gradually disappeared with Spike's silence. Everyone focused their eyes on Ibisevic again.

They still questioned the Bosnian land question.

The English media's sarcastic questions made Ibissevic cope with a smile. Finally, Done reminded the press officer to finish the press conference and took Ibissevic to the stadium to meet more than 300 fans.

Bentley and Fernandez held a meeting together. At that time, about 1,500 fans came, most of whom were on the right-hand side of Bentley, the England national team.

Only more than 300 people welcomed Ibisevich. Most of them were from Fatty John and the others, who came for the sake of Don Endi.

Among the Nottingham Forest fans, there are also many people who are not optimistic about Ibissevic's future. Although they like Don Eun, they really cannot expect Don Eun's transfer.

A striker who only scored thirty-seven goals in a single season. Then he was unknown in other seasons, and the total number of goals in total may not exceed thirty-seven... he actually had to make a goal to return to the peak of Nottingham Forest. Such people and such things can only appear in inspirational movies made in Hollywood.

Of course they would not publicly object, but this deserted meeting is actually an expression of emotion.

Fortunately, Ibisevic has a very good mentality. He never thinks he is a big star and should enjoy the kind of treatment that thousands of people cheer. Even if there are only 300 fans, and even if more than 30 reporters are 99% of them question him, he still showed his skills in front of everyone with a smile, holding his jersey and team scarf to attack the reporters. He kicked the signature football into the stands.

You know, this is the biggest scene he has ever seen since joining various teams, and it is a "big scene" set for him alone. He knew that it was actually because he scored 37 goals in a single season, almost breaking Gad Muller's record, and was lucky enough to be awarded the European Golden Boot.

He can't ask for too much.

After the deserted and uninvited welcome meeting, the staff moved away the team logo with the name Nottingham Forest and the floor of the main and deputy sponsors, and the reporters and fans also evacuated the stadium.

There are only two people left on the empty court now.

Tony Donn and Ibisevic. They stood in the place where they threw autographs at the fans just now.

Donn is explaining the virtues of the English media to Ibisevic.

"...They are all like this. They are fence-between. If you are good, they will praise you. If you are bad, they will scold you. There is no need to take their words to heart. Like me. Always go against them. No matter whether they scold me or praise me, I will not make me change my view of them. People always have to stick to their own things. If those reporters don't insist, then we will stick to ourselves." After saying that, he looked at Ibisevic with a smile.

"The media is the same everywhere, coach..."

"Call me 'head'."

"Okay, boss." Ibisevic is an honest man. His experience prevents him from being honest. Unrealistic fantasies have long been thrown to Mars. Low-key is the character he learned when he left his motherland at the age of fifteen.

"I made a bet with the reporter without your consent. Is there anything you want to say?"

"Me? I'll try my best to help you win..." Ibisevic remained as low-key as ever.

"No, no." Tang En shook his head like a wave drum. "You shouldn't say that at this time. You have to say: 'No problem, head! I shave that bastard's hair myself!'"

Looking at Ibissevic who was a little surprised, Donn laughed: "This is the style of our Nottingham Forest. And... this is not to help me, but to help yourself, Ibi. If you are not good at performing well, you will be the only one who is unlucky. I will put you on the bench or the reserve team without any mercy, regardless of how much it costs me to buy you. Today I smiled at you, maybe I can drive you out tomorrow. You should have encountered many such things, so I don't need to say anything else, right?"

Ibisevic nodded silently.

Tang En patted his generous back hard.

"If you lose the game, you can't lose face, and you can't let it go no matter what. They question you, you must fuck them. First of all, you must not admit defeat. I don't care what you think in your heart, you must be stubborn to the end."

"But...if you really lose..."

"I never think about what hasn't happened yet. I'll talk about it when I really lose the bet and want to shave my hair."

Donn called Ibisevich away.

"You will fall in love with this place, I promise. There are the best fans, the best teammates, and the best head coach here." He grinned brightly.
