Chapter 104 The Future of Young Players (Part 2)

The last sentence was decisive. Pique nodded slightly: "Mr. Canalis, you are right. But now Manchester United... Mr. Ferguson has great hope for me."

Canalis shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this, the bad guys let me do it. We just need to ask him if Manchester United will give you a first-team position next season. We all know this answer. Since that's the case, Forest is willing to give you a first-team position. Why do we still have to go to his team to be a youth team player? Did Manchester United give us any promises and guarantees? Have you paid us an advance payment? Nothing. Remember, Herard, your future is the most important. You don't want to leave Barcelona and go in obscurity, right?"

Piku shook his head.

"Then listen to me. Wait... Don't promise him now. Tell the coach that you want to go back to ask your parents for advice and reply to him in a day. Don't show your eagerness, I'm going to fight for the best contract for you."

After the two discussed, Pikui said to Tang En: "Mr. Tang En, your conditions are very good. But I need to go back and discuss with my parents. I will give you a reply the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I will wait for your call in Barcelona." Don Eun stood up and shook hands with Pique and agreed. Then he blinked when he shook hands with Canalis, and both of them knew it.

The next day, Don and Don went to Barcelona's youth training base La Macia to watch the training of Barcelona's youth team. He found several familiar figures in it - both in terms of hairstyle, skin color and technical characteristics, and therefore, they are called "Mexican Ronaldinho". Boyan's midfield passer Francisco Merida in the Spanish National Youth Team and Barcelona's youth team, Bojan's "prodigy" Bojan Krkic (bojan_krkic) who was highly anticipated by Barcelona... There is also a slightly more famous Messi. He has been transferred to the first team by Rijcalde. From the summer, he will train with Ronaldinho, Puyor, Gulli, and Xavi, and basically won't see him in La Macia.

Looking at these talented players, Don Ng really has the urge to dig them all over. But he knew it was impossible. Maybe Merida might be possible... but he doesn't seem to be suitable for the Premier League style. In Don Ng's memory, Merida later refused to sign a contract with Barcelona Club at the age of fifteen because of a conflict with the senior management of Barcelona Club and left the team to try out for Liverpool. But he didn't know the specific situation. He just heard that Merida did not stay in Liverpool. A year later he went to Arsenal youth team.

On the one hand, the first team is desperately spending money to buy famous stars, and on the other hand, the talent trained by the youth team is largely backlogged. This contradiction seems really irreconcilable. The head coach of the first team always doesn't trust young people because their pressure is much greater than that of the head coach of the youth team. Tang En also experienced this contradiction when playing football manager games.

As a player, he likes young geniuses with potential, but when he finds famous stars in the transfer market, he can't help but want to buy them.

Another Spanish giant, Real Madrid, has the same problem as Barcelona.

As the team that won the most La Liga championships, they also have a fine tradition of attaching importance to youth training. The "Five Eagles Era" of Real Madrid in the 1980s is the most typical example of youth training. But in the 21st century, with the implementation of the "one star in a year" policy in Florentino Perez, fewer and fewer people have entered the first team from Real Madrid's youth training base - the "Zidane + Pavin" policy that has been boosted is a joke - although the Real Madrid youth team has performed well in the Spanish League Two every year. Although the media and fans can find this genius and that rookie in Real Madrid's youth team every year, the people who can finally play in Real Madrid's first team will be the first team.

Almost none.   Do you still remember Portillo then? The striker, known as Raul's successor, was exhausted from his talent on repeated loans.    Mescia was once the captain of Real Madrid's B team and the main central defender. When he was in Real Madrid's first team, he became synonymous with "not worrying".   Like him, Raul Bravo, who was once regarded as Robert Carlos' successor and was selected for the Spanish national team, but he could only be a marginal player in Real Madrid's first team.     Soldado, who emerged after Portillo, broke Raul's forward in Real Madrid's youth goal record and could not find his place in Real Madrid's first team forward.

There are also countless future stars of the past Real Madrid who have forgotten their names... and are still there now?

Real Madrid has the most luxurious training base in Spain, but the talents cultivated by the youth training camp nourish other Spanish clubs besides them. This is really a great irony.

At present, Don En doesn't have to worry that the young players of the Forest team can't play, he only worrys that he won't find anyone during the game.

The problem of small teams is always that the bench is not thick enough, and the problem of giant teams is always that who will play.

A day later, Pique met with Don Eun again. This time they did not answer as Don Eun expected - Pique agreed to join Nottingham Forest and refused Manchester United. He hoped that Coach Tony Don Eun could fulfill his promise - to give him enough playing time.

Done smiled and said, "Of course, Hrad, I traveled all the way from England to Barcelona, ​​not to find talent for the youth team. You will soon find how wise it is to choose Nottingham Forest."

Then in this restaurant, Donn signed a four-year professional contract for Nottingham Forest and Barcelona youth team's main central defender Gerard Piquebernau. From then on, Pique, who was born in Catalonia and purely Barcelona blood, became a member of Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest only needs to pay Barcelona a symbolic £220,000. This little money is almost negligible for Barcelona's expenses in cultivating a player like Pique. But they have no choice but to watch the Englishman snatch the team's future defense general...

Of course. The Barcelona people have reason to be angry. After all, Pique was trained by them, and Pique's grandfather was also the former vice chairman of the Barcelona club. This relationship makes the Barcelona people feel that Pique's run away is a betrayal. But the one who is most angry is actually not the Barcelona people, but a Scot.

Pikui signed his name on the contract, and his future fate that had been entangled for half a year was finally revealed. He smiled relaxed at Tang En: "Should I learn from those English players to call you boss? Sir?"

"Well, it's not necessarily... Welcome to the big family in Nottingham Forest. Here you have a lot of freedom, including the title of me. There are the following types for you to choose from: a, boss; b, gentleman (mister); c, boss; d, coach. Which type do you like?" Tang En said to Pi Que in imitating the robot's voice.

Pikui laughed: "c.  "

"Very good, young man! You will like this team, I promise!" Don Eun laughed and patted Pi Kui on the shoulder. This is the future pillar of his team!

When Pique and Donn signed a contract in the restaurant, Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson, who began preparing for next season in Manchester, England, received a call from Barcelona, ​​Spain.

"Boss, bad news. Pikui doesn't belong to us anymore."

"What?" Ferguson thought he had heard it wrong. Half a month ago, his assistant told him that Pique was happy to sign with Manchester United. The Scottish coach was very proud of being able to defeat Arsenal in the competition for talent. Unexpectedly, it was only half a month... "Is that Frenchman doing it?" The first thing he thought of was Wenger. They were mortal rivals. If he was unlucky, he would definitely think of whether it was done by the other party.

"No, boss.   It's not Arsenal, they have given up, it's another British man... Tony Donne."

Ferguson was stunned for a moment. The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. "Who is that?"

"The head coach, boss of Nottingham Forest. They have just been promoted to the Premier League this season."

Now Ferguson remembered it completely. It was the young man who made Mark Laurenson lose face in public on the show!

"What did that kid say? I want to know what kind of ability a new team has to steal our people!" Ferguson's face turned rosy, which was a sign of his anger.

"He didn't reveal the specific details, he just said that Manchester United can only promise his future, but Nottingham Forest can promise his present..."

This sentence hit Manchester United's weakness, and Ferguson's fire was blocked in his throat, but he just couldn't get out.   The person who stole his for this reason was really nothing to say.    He suddenly became interested in the "youngest head coach of the Premier League" who had not known much before - who is he? What are his abilities?
