Chapter 100 Farce(1/2)
Chapter 100: Far
The club's head coaches can already start to enjoy a short vacation at this time, and only the coaches of the giant team need to appear in the media from time to time. The players with national team competition tasks cannot rest because when the league ends, the national team games are still waiting for them.
On June 11, England played a warm-up match at home, with the former South American powerhouse Uruguay. Four days later, they will face their qualifiers opponent Serbia at the New Wembley Stadium.
Only after playing this game can those international players go on vacation.
In the match against Uruguay, England won 2-1, and Gerald and Rooney contributed the goal. The Uruguayan only relied on Palermo striker Cavani to score a goal in the 90th minute.
The process was a little difficult when he was playing against Serbia at home. After Mitchel scored the first record for the team in the eleven minutes of the game, Serbia launched a crazy counterattack, which once made the tired England team able to parry and have no power to fight back. The 1:0 lead allowed the Serbians to see hope, so they launched the offensive without stopping for a moment.
Until the last minute of injury time, Abanglajo, who came on as a substitute in the second half, seized Serbia and beat the score with all his strength, hoping to equalize the score. The gap left behind was dribbling the ball and running for a long distance, scoring a goal that decided the winner. England defeated Serbia 2-0 at its home court, continued to firmly sit in the top spot in the group, and took a solid step towards Spain.
Next, European football entered the summer transfer period.
Countless dramas that made the fans look forward to and excited, and he was staged in front of the world.
But for Nottingham Forest fans, there are not many good memories this summer.
No matter what banners they played outside the club, no matter how they protested, they did not leave behind the team's main goalkeeper, the Russian goalkeeper, Akinfeyev. The man who once regained a lot of honors for the team with his own hands and was named Peter Hilton's best successor to the Forests, went to Manchester United for 25 million pounds.
Mourinho finally got the stable goalkeeper he had dreamed of, while Forest fans once again launched a protest against the club's top leaders.
Although the club then introduced Schmeichel Jr.
Not long afterwards, Woodgate also transferred to the Forest for £13 million and returned to Middlesbrough.
Of course, the most popular Forest players in the transfer market are George Wood, Gareth Bale and Mitcher. If Evan Dogerty is willing to speak, these three people will bring him a transfer fee income of at least 130 million pounds.
However, Evan Dogerty was still a little rational. He said more than once that George Wood was a non-sale product for the team, and he could not take away the flag for no amount of money.
As for the others... as long as the other party can make a crazy quote that makes him excited, then no one can leave.
Of course, some people suspect that if a club offered a quote for George Wood that made the world crazy, Evan Dogette would definitely push the Forests' flag into the transfer market without hesitation.
Unfortunately, Wood is a midfielder, and those clubs who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy attacking players are not willing to waste too much euros on a defensive player.
However, Mitchel and Gareth Bale received many heart-warming offers.
Barcelona offered Mitchel a offer of £30 million plus Germany's "Super Mario" Gomez, which made the Forest a little excited.
Even Mitchel felt that he should play football in another environment. The senior executives sold Akinfeyev and made him very dissatisfied. Barcelona is another wealthy family, so it is not a loss to go there.
But Don Eun didn't want the team he built to fall apart so quickly. He tactfully told the hesitant Mitcher in the column that his scope of the players was mainly in the domestic league. After all, the foreign league is too far away, and he could not grasp the status of the players playing abroad in time. And he also took Lennon as an example and told Mitcher that he might not be able to be smooth sailing when he went to a foreign giant.
The Barcelona must have hated Don En to the core, because even if he is no longer sitting in the position of the Forest coach, he still wants to try to oppose Barcelona.
No one. There is more influential and status than Tang En's old players in the Forest team.
Since Don Et tactfully expressed his idea that he did not want Mitchel to play abroad, then Mitchel also obediently chose to stay. His agent was disappointed, but he was powerless, because no matter what, the player's personal wishes were decisive. Unless he could convince Mitchel to accept the conditions offered by Barcelona. Otherwise, even if the Forest agreed to Barcelona's offer, the transfer would not be realized. But obviously, his agent who has stayed with Mitchel for a long time, in terms of influence on Mitchel, is not as good as his mentor Tony Don Ettier.
Another huge income was missing. Mitcher's agent must have hated Don Eun. Even when he was having sex with his lover, he might curse Don Eun in his heart.
Gareth Bell's situation is more complicated.
He is like his teammates. He received many offers from the club that are interested in. But he is not an England international, and Don has no right to interfere in his stay or leave in a roundabout way.
He can only decide whether to leave or stay.
A left-back who is both offensive and defensive is very popular, especially this left-back will also make an excellent set-piece.
Bayern Munich, Juventus, and AC Milan both hope to get such an excellent left-back.
However, none of these three teams are generous locals. The highest offer is 18 million pounds given by Bayern Munich.
For Evan Dogerty and Allen Adams, this highest offer was simply an insult to them. So they rejected the offer from the three clubs, but did not completely lock the door to the transfer negotiations. The same thing is the case - as long as there are crazy quotes that satisfy them, no one is selling products.
When Gareth Bale didn't know where he would play in the future, another familiar Forest player chose to leave.
Matthias Fernandez left the forest for 20 million pounds. He is in Atletico Madrid in La Liga.
Evan Dogerty is not worried that his departure will affect the team's strength.
There were also angry fans who posed protest signs in Wilford: "Mr. Dogerty, how many more talent do you have to sell?"
Before he finished speaking, Jonho Shelvey was sold out again by 8 million pounds.
Until the start of the new Premier League season, Gareth Bale was still in the transfer vortex.
Although Bayern, Juventus, and AC Milan chose to retreat in front of Evan Dogerti's Lions, new buyers came forward to fill the vacancy they left.
Real Madrid, the best club in the last century, has always been rich in football and has spent as much as possible to create world transfer fees, and has made a quote from Nottingham Forest. He offered Bale a 27 million pound offer.
Evan Dogerty really hoped to establish a good relationship with Real Madrid through this deal, but Allen told him that if he sold it for 27 million, it would make them feel that we were too easy to deal with and would not be interested. So the Forests bargained 34 million pounds.
For a defender, the price is not low... but it is not a terrifying sky-high price. With Real Madrid's wealth and power, this little money is nothing.
So the Forest fans panicked, knowing that they might be losing another favorite player. They realized that protesting at the club is no longer effective. Because no one cares about the fans' voices, especially when the club is still his own club.
This time they went to beg the players themselves.
Outside the apartment where Bell lives, fans began to gather spontaneously, then sang the forest team songs and the hymns written for Bell. Holding the slogans requesting Bell to leave and Bell's avatar.
Real Madrid has accepted the Forests' offer.
This is a bad sign.
Because this shows that Real Madrid can already talk to Bale's agent about the contract. As long as Bale signs the contract, he will leave Nottingham Forest forever and leave the team he has been there for twelve years.
The call for Bell not to leave is even louder, and many Forest fans are passing through various channels. I hope their favorite "little monkey" will listen to the fans' voices and not choose to leave. Although they know that the Nottingham Forest now has no capital to attract people to stay.
"The contract text came from Real Madrid." Bale's agent and his father told him.
In the past, Bell lived alone in Nottingham, and his father was with his mother. But throughout the summer, his father had to be with him.
The songs and shouts of fans were still coming from outside the closed window.
"Garrez! Garez! Garez!"
Bell sat on the sofa, listening to these sounds, a little confused.
"The conditions for opening real estate in Real Madrid are very attractive." As a father and agent, he always had to consider his son, and he read the contract.
The father turned his head and looked at his son. Obviously he didn't hear what he had just said. He sighed: "If you can't make a decision, I think you can call Mr. Tang En."
Bell finally raised his head and looked at his dad.
"Uh...I think maybe he has any suggestions, better advice than my dad." He blinked at his son.
Gareth Bale also seemed to have a bright light in his mind. When the boss was in the team, he would ask him if he had any questions about what he was not sure about, why did he forget now?
Tang En was sitting on the bed, reading a book under the desk lamp on the bedside table. He had black-framed eyes and frowned slightly. He looked much older than his actual age.
At this time, he and Bale were in the same city, and he also heard a lot of rumors about Bale's transfer. However, he did not expect that he would receive a call from Bale.
"Boss. I need help." This is the first sentence after Bell made the phone call.
"What's wrong, Gareth?" Tang En asked knowingly.
"I'm very confused now... I don't know what choice I should make." Bell's voice was low and his emotions were not high.
Tang En did not rush to answer. He listened and found a faint noise coming from the other end of the phone.
"Have those fans left yet?" He turned over and picked up the watch on the bedside table. It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.
Obviously, Bell also looked at the time, and he replied, "They will disperse in half an hour." This has been the case these days, and Bell has been used to it.
Don Neng laughed silently. “Garreth. Are you willing to stay with the Forest Team?”
Bell shook his head and replied: "I don't know. I used to be very determined to stay... but after a season, I hesitated..."
"You want to hear from me?"
"Yes, I think."
Tang En was silent for a while, took his eyes off the bridge of his nose and placed it aside, and then closed his eyes.
He seemed to be recalling the time he was with Bell, how he accidentally met this Welsh kid, and how he brought him back to Nottingham... and his interesting chatter.
"Garreth..."
"I'm listening, boss."
"If I were an ordinary Forest team fan, I think maybe I would keep you in front of your window with singing tonight..."
"So you hope I stay?" Bell's tone was faintly expectant.
"Listen to me, Gareth. But I am a football coach, and some things cannot be completely left to the relationship. Of course, rationality does not mean that you will definitely be better than being in the Forest team when you go to Real Madrid, but there are better possibilities than here, and worse possibilities than here. There are many possibilities in the future. I can't tell you which possibility is better. If I let you stay and the Forest team performs badly, then I will harm you. If you let me leave, you lose yourself in the locker room in a wealthy family. Then I am harming you too."
Bell listened patiently.
"So I think you should follow your original ideas. But you are only twenty-five years old, so it is normal for you to go out and have a chance to go out and have a chance."
Tang En did not give him a choice because this was not his business.
After listening to him, Bell asked, "Boss, emotionally, don't you want me to leave?"
This question came to Tang En's heart. In fact, since the first Forest player he was familiar with was sold, his feelings could not accept such reality. So he tried not to pay attention to the transfer rumors related to the Forest team.
Kompani, Pepe, Akinfeyev... These people are all heroes who follow him to conquer the world. As a coach who devoted all his efforts to the team, he valued this relationship.
"If possible, Gareth, I mean if possible... I would rather none of you go." Tang En said this very affectionately, without any unnatural, because this was the real thought deep in his heart. "But..." He strengthened his tone and made a turning point.
He was about to continue speaking, but he was interrupted by Bell's quick words: "No, boss. I know what to choose!"
To be continued...
