Chapter 68 Changes in progress
Chapter 68: Ongoing Changes
After spending a night in anxiety and longing for Shania, Tang En finally received the first good news from him these days the next morning.
Des Walker called him and said he agreed to join the coaching staff of England as an assistant coach.
Tang En was so excited that he even clenched his fists on the other side of the phone.
The assistant contest was settled, and the rest was simple. The candidates recommended by the FA for him were excellent physical coaches and ordinary coaches familiar with English players. Now he went to find a goalkeeper coach and the coaching team was established. England's goalkeeper coach Done doesn't trust it. England has not produced excellent goalkeepers for many years, which is obviously related to their lack of excellent goalkeeper coaches.
Goalkeeper coach Donn has locked in Germany and Italy. Maybe he can find the former goalkeeper coach of the England national team, the Italian Tannery who followed Capello and left with Capello.
However, this kind of thing is obviously not as urgent as finding an assistant coach.
While Don Eun was worried about his coaching team, Nottingham Forest was also undergoing a huge change.
Martin O'Neal wanted to keep Nottingham Forest's triple-champion team as much as possible, then sell irrelevant players, and add some better people to come in. The team's goal is still to compete for the championship.
Evan has already told him that buying players’ money is not a problem. Nowadays, Nottingham Forest does not have the debt on the stadium, so the funds that can be controlled are still abundant.
O'Neal's treatment was something Tony Don had never enjoyed.
After thinking for a few days, he finally gave the list to Evan Dogette. Evan, who was holding the list, was shaking his head at his friend Allen: "Martin thought he could completely control this team. I really don't know if he overestimated himself or underestimated Tony."
"how?"
"The people who sell are all substitutes or veterans of the team. Basically, the team's main structure has not changed." Evan gave the roster to Allen.
Allen looked at it and laughed: "He was just considering it from the coach's perspective. A team must have achievements, of course, try to use players who have already proven their level."
"If the locker room is in chaos, the championship team is useless." Evan snorted.
After Don En left the Forest team, although he did not bombard the club in the media, Evan breathed a sigh of relief. But the players obviously did not believe that Don En left the team because he had too little money. There were many direct members of Don En in the team, and their agents were moving around. Evan knew what this meant. It would be strange if the backbone left, so that those people could be kept. Otherwise, why would he ask O'Neal to draw up this list? Instead of asking your agent to contact the team and notify me again, I might as well take the initiative, so that the losses can be minimized.
"Thiago?" Allen saw the name on the list. Then he looked up at the ceiling and tried to match the name with the faces on the team. "That Portuguese? Even if he doesn't change coaches, he should leave, right? He's too old."
"So I said O'Neal still wants to continue to use the team that Tony stayed behind."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Allen looked down at the roster again. Compared with a player like Thiago, he was the only person he cared about the most. That person could not be sold out anyway. He and Don had a common language on this.
"What's going on with George's side?"
Nottingham Forest has only one George, and Evan knows who Allen is asking.
"I don't know." He shook his head. "Mr. Wux has never contacted me."
A silence suddenly fell into the office. They all knew what status and status of Woox were. Done could fight against Woox because he had little string in his mind. The two of them didn't want to offend this old man with huge energy in the upper class of the UK. Although his sexual orientation was abnormal, this was not a scandal among the upper class of the UK.
"He is not short of money." Allen murmured to himself, as if explaining this matter, or as if comforting himself.
"He is not short of money, but George needs money."
"I don't think George's loyalty should be suspected..."
"The question is. Alan." Evan stood up from the chair, walked to the desk and sat on. "Is George's loyalty to the club, or... Tony Donn?"
Allen raised his head and opened his mouth to look at his old friend. He was stunned for a while. He said: "He went to England, it doesn't affect anything... At least we don't have to worry about him running to Manchester United and then turning back to poach the corner."
Evan didn't know whether his worries were correct, so he didn't say anything.
"I think it's better to give George a new contract recently and increase his weekly salary. Although his contract will not expire in three years, we have to strive to keep him retired from the Forest team."
Evan looked at Allen who said this. “We signed a new contract with him last season…and he is now close to the highest salary for the team.” When it comes to spending money, Allen becomes sensitive.
"Then give him the highest weekly salary contract in the Premier League!" Evan decided.
Allen opened his mouth and said nothing.
Wood looked at the old man sitting in front of him, his less-exposed agent, Mr. Billy Wood.
"How are you thinking about it. George?"
Wood shook his head: "I won't go."
"They promised to give you the highest annual salary and the best bonus."
“My money is enough.”
"That's many times stronger than Nottingham Forest. Compared to them, Forest is simply a country team." Wux said with a smile, not caring about Wood's cold attitude at all.
"Do they have more European champions than us?" Wood asked.
This question made the smile on Woox's face disappear for a few seconds. When it returned to Woox's face, it turned into a big laugh: "Haha! George, you asked this question well! If you asked in front of Laporta, you can make that Catalan person so angry... Haha. I didn't expect you to learn to sarcasm too."
Wood did not respond to Woods' laughter, and he continued to say with a cold face: "I don't go anywhere except Nottingham Forest."
"Real Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milan, Manchester United, Arsenal... You don't think about the call of those teams?"
Wood nodded: "I have three years of contract with the team, and I won't go anywhere until that."
Wux smiled: "You will be thirty-one in three years, and it will be difficult for you to go anywhere."
"That's better, I'll retire from the Forests."
"Hey, George. That guy Tony is no longer here, you don't have to keep guarding this club. You know? It won't take long before you can get together, your teammates who have won the Champions League together will go their separate ways. You coaches are gone. Your teammates who are familiar with are also gone. What else is necessary for this team to stay?"
Wood was silent for a while, as if he was digesting Woods' words. Then he said: "Professional players always come and leave, and I can't decide this. They have their reasons and power, but I don't want to leave here."
Wux leaned back against the sofa and stared at the stubborn player with a different look. "I'm so weird, why are you doing this? Is your mother?"
"It has nothing to do with my mother, my own decision."
"Why?"
Wood was silent for a longer time this time. Wux didn't urge him. He put some sugar in the coffee in front of him. He stirred gently with a spoon.
Just as he was concentrating on competing with coffee, Wood's voice sounded: "I don't want to be like that person."
Wux stopped the movements in his hand, narrowed his eyes and stared at the coffee cup, as if there was something in the coffee.
His divine thoughts only went out for a few seconds. When he came to his senses, he took out his cell phone and started dialing the phone number.
"Hi, Sandy. I have a few absolute insider news here. Are you interested? Good job..." Wux nodded, "I will pass it to you. But not now...me? I'm having coffee with George. This coffee is not so good, I will never come again...Okay, okay, you can do yours. Goodbye."
Wood closed the phone and looked at Wood, who was looking at him with inquiring eyes.
"Call a friend from the media and tell him that there are many clubs that are very interested in you. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Milan's two-man, Juventus... and the traditional semi-finals in England, as long as the teams with a little reputation in European football are listed."
Wood was anxious, and he leaned forward, as if he wanted to settle accounts with Wux: "Didn't you say you should respect my will?"
"Calm down. Baby." Wux made a gesture and signaled his butt to fall back on the sofa. "When did I have never respected your will, my dear? But since you don't let me get the signing fee, I have to find a way to get some of your salary." He put the gold-rimmed glasses on the table in the box, which was a signal that he was about to leave.
"Don't do anything. If the media interviews you in the next few days, you don't say anything except reaffirming your loyalty to the Forests. They can't explain it clearly if they ask. Let those flies come to me." He reached out and patted Wood in the face. "Then you wait to sign a high-paying contract."
“I signed it last year…”
"They are willing to send money, so how can they refuse? To celebrate your impending success as the highest-paid player in England. You have invited this cup of coffee. What should we talk about next time? The black tea made by your mom is delicious. "Woocks put the glasses box in his pocket and stood up. "Goodbye George, I hope you won't regret today's decision in the future."
The cool old man left Wood, pushed open the brown glass door and walked out of the cafe.
Wood continued to sit in his position, turning his head to see Woods get into the gray Bentley parked on the side of the road, and disappearing into the traffic.
While Wood was still having coffee with Woods, Allen had already flew to Portugal and negotiated a transfer contract with Benfica Club about Thiago Mendes. Thiago will transfer from Nottingham Forest to Benfica for 6 million pounds, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will play there until retirement.
Another ironic news is that Real Madrid fell in love with Nottingham Forest's central defender Pepe. He just taught Real Madrid a lesson in the Champions League final more than a month ago, which aroused anger from the Spanish media. If he really went to Madrid, it was hard to imagine how those media would turn around and sing praises for him.
Last season, he scored 11 direct free kicks in all competitions. The left back Gareth Bale, who has strong attack power, has also been tempted by major teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea. Manchester United has even offered Bale 20 million pounds to release Nottingham Forest.
Aaron Mitchel, known as England's center in the next decade, has also had rumors with many clubs. The most famous team among them is AC Milan.
Nori Shahin seems to be leaving the Forest team for Bayern Munich. Of course, Atletico Madrid is also pursuing this Turkish national team's main midfielder.
Donn, who was always the third captain of the team, was also confirmed to leave the team. His new team is the newly promoted Leeds United.
Bentley is being tempted by Manchester City.
There are also rumors that Fernandez is disappointed with the club and hopes to return to Spain to play football.
Gago may go to Inter Milan or Juventus.
Mourinho was very dissatisfied with Manchester United's goalkeeper after taking over Manchester United and is urging the board of directors to agree to increase the acquisition of Nottingham Forest's Russian goalkeeper.
When July 1st, after the summer transfer window for European football officially opened, countless transfer rumors about Nottingham Forest players appeared in various media. They were flooding like a tide, making people dazzled, making people unable to distinguish between true and false.
Panic surged in the hearts of every Forest fan, worried that after Tony Tangen, the iron-fisted coach, would be separated by other powers. When they got together to chat in the bar, some people blamed the club for its incompetence and could not retain the meritorious coach. But more fans believed that the responsibility should be borne by Tony Tangen.
Although Tang En brought countless joy to these people when he was there, he suddenly withdrew from the happiest time. He was still considered an unforgivable betrayal by the majority of fans. Tang En never explained the reason, and the fans' misunderstanding of him became deeper and deeper.
This man, once known as the "King of Nottingham Forest", seems to be facing "betrayal of all relatives" - the club directors do not miss him. The players he brought together are going to be divided by the powers, and his supporters are now suspicious and disgusted with him. Is there any worse situation in this world than this?
When Tang En was still looking for a coaching team for the team, the FA informed him that he had to lead the team to play a game.
"But I haven't confirmed all the coaching candidates yet." Tang En was quite dissatisfied with the FA's decision. "Not to mention the players."
"Don't worry. Mr. Tang En. It's just a friendly match. Players can use the original team in the World Cup. The winners and losses of this game will not affect our evaluation of you." The FA official spoke in an official voice.
"There is no such sudden attack in the contract." Tang En was still a little unhappy.
"In fact, Mr. Tangen...this game was determined before you took office as head coach." The official said.
What else can Donne say? Who made him the slowest person in England's history to form a coaching team?
"Okay, tell me the opponent. Where are we playing? Wembley or abroad?" Tang En pulled a note casually. He planned to write it down so that he would not forget about too many messy things recently.
"Don't go abroad, Mr. Tang. Just in Nottingham, Crimson Field, the opponent is Nottingham Forest." The official tried his best to make his voice sound normal, rather than holding his laughter. But he failed.
