Chapter 187: Chinese Sun

When Wang Huasheng sent manuscripts to domestic companies, he divided the interview into two articles.

One article is very short, which is about the news that Nottingham Forest is indeed interesting to Sun Jihai. The other article reorganized the conversation between Tang En and them as an exclusive interview, and of course added some information from Wang Huasheng and his own.

It is said to introduce to Chinese readers this British head coach who knows and likes very much.

When Tang Jing saw him fabricating this exclusive interview there, she said nothing.

She had heard of such a thing: a Chinese reporter went to Spain and took a photo with a star. When she came back, she compiled an exclusive interview and then sent it back to China with this photo, and successfully published it in the newspaper.

In comparison, Uncle Wang's behavior is quite restrained.

No one knows what kind of response this report will cause in China, but Wang Huasheng is sure that the sales of newspapers will definitely increase significantly this time.

A British coach with various connections with China has been linked to Chinese players this time. No matter how you look at it, it is a gimmick worthy of continuous follow-up and hype.

He bet this time. Just like when Li Xiang followed Milu, he immediately became the most valuable reporter, with influence and money coming.

No matter what kind of troubles would happen in China because of that real and real "exclusive interview", he almost forgot about the incident the next day when he sent away two Chinese journalists.

Pierce replied, but this time his answer made Donn difficult - Pierce agreed to loan Richards to the Forests.

The difficulty of Tang En is that after these days of careful consideration, he doesn't want Richards anymore.

The Forests' defense is generally young: 18-year-old Pique, 26-year-old Zimbonda, 26-year-old Matthew; Epson, 20-year-old Landon; Barnes, 22-year-old Pepe...

If a younger Richards came, Donne felt that it would be a little bad on the defense line that needed the most experience and stability.

So after being silent on the other end of the phone for a while, Don En still thought Pierce had suggested that Forests were very interested in Sun Jihai and hoped that Manchester City Club could seriously consider Sun Jihai's transfer.

"This makes me very embarrassed..."

When Tang En was happy when he heard Pierce say this, he knew there was a chance. At least Pierce did not refuse at all, which means that he had also considered Sun Jihai's departure.

He decided to strike very hotly: "Lucking Richards to us is to train him and accumulate experience. Leaving him at Manchester City and giving him the main position is to train him and accumulate experience.

The results are the same, I think it may be more beneficial for his growth if you keep Richards by your side."

"Tony. This is not like your speaking style."

Tang En laughed: "I have considered it seriously. I think Sun Jihai is more suitable for the Forest Team. Help, Pierce.

You also know that according to Richards' growth rate, he will be able to completely replace Sun Jihai in the next two or three years, and Sun Jihai's position in Manchester City will become quite embarrassing.

And the Forest team is in need of him now, you can use Richards to play the main player and give him trust. That kid will definitely give you a generous reward. Maybe he will be the best young player in the new season!"

"The future is unclear."

"This is a win-win situation, Pierce... Don't worry, Forest will not let Manchester City suffer a loss in the transfer fee."

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, so long that Donne thought Pierce was gone. Finally, the Manchester City coach spoke: "Okay.

The club will send you a fax for the specific transfer fee. If you can accept that price, you can go and talk to Sun’s agent..."

"Ha! Thank you so much, Pierce!"

"If you really want to thank me, lead the team to play better in the European Champions League! Forest team has only participated in the Champions League three times and won two championship trophys.

If I go back after so many years, I don’t want to see a game like losing to Bayern Munich 2:7…”

Donne knew that Pierce was talking about the 1995-96 season. Nottingham Forest returned to the European arena after eleven years and entered the quarterfinals of the League Cup, but was insulted 7:2 by Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, after so many years, Nottingham Forest has performed well enough to return to the European arena, but in the eyes of those Forest players.

Losing so badly and having no power to fight back, even facing the Bundesliga king Bayern, it is still a shame for them throughout their lives.

Brian; Clauve left, the soul of Nottingham Forest disappeared.

"Don't worry, Pierce. Nottingham Forest is a stone in the toilet."

"What does it mean?" Stuart didn't quite understand this Chinese idiom.

"It's smelly and hard. If those European teams think that the Forests are easy to bully, they have to be careful of their teeth."

Pierce was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"What a smelly stone!"

The next day, Manchester City Club sent a fax to Nottingham Forest Club. It indicated the acceptable price for Manchester City to be on Sun Jihai's transfer fee - 4 million pounds.

Manchester City bought Sun Jihai from Dalian Shide for two million pounds, setting the highest value for Chinese players to transfer to foreign clubs.

And now, it is obvious that as long as Tony and Tang En nodded, Sun Jihai will once again set the highest record for Chinese players' value.

Donn scolded Stuart in his heart; Pierce was so dark, and nodded and agreed to the price.

For 4 million pounds, Nottingham Forest officially seeks to buy Manchester City Club's right back, Sun Jihai, a panacea for the backcourt.

The news that this matter was officially confirmed caused a sensation in China once. Chinese media knew as well as Tang En, what this value meant.

No Chinese player has ever been able to achieve such a high value. This number can already make Sun Jihai acquaint with the value of mainstream Premier League players.

Before, Chinese people always had this idea that when Chinese players go out, they are always marginal figures. Even Sun Jihai, when Manchester City can play as the main player, the Chinese people are not at least insecure about him.

If domestic media promotes Chinese players to be famous overseas, many people will immediately exaggerate and deceive themselves...

Just when this news was just announced on the Chinese Internet, many netizens still had doubts when they replied. Of course, these doubts will eventually lead to a result - quarrels and insults between regions. The characteristics of the whole world are not only Chinese.

Just as northerners in the UK think southerners are fools, southerners think northerners are country bumpkins and uncivilized monkeys.

Later, many major portals and newspapers published this news one after another. There were screenshots of official websites of both clubs, which made the doubts of Chinese netizens and fans disappear.

Sun Jihai is indeed likely to join a team that wants to participate in the European Champions League!

Substitute or main force? After a debate on a question on the domestic Internet, a new round of debate began.

Tang Encai ignored these things. If he was fine, he would also go to domestic websites, but he never read netizens' comments on things like this...

Will Sun Jihai accept the invitation from the Forest Team?

This seems to be a very simple question, and it is a bit contrived. Which one can only play in the domestic league or a team that can participate in the European Champions League? Isn’t this obvious?

But Sun Jihai hesitated.

He likes Manchester City. He likes living in Manchester. He has been here for five years and has a very deep relationship with fans here.

Perhaps in today's football world, fewer and fewer people believe in the feelings of players to a team and fans, because in the face of money, there is no commitment-based trust. But Sun Jihai is such a person.

The traditional Chinese thinking is deeply rooted. There is an old saying: A golden nest is not as good as a dog nest for your own. This is similar to the meaning of applying it to clubs.

So what if Nottingham Forest can participate in the European Champions League? Sun Jihai likes Manchester City. He bought a house in Manchester, and his wife and children live here. This is equivalent to his home. The Chinese value the family.

in addition.

Another reason for hesitation is that he doesn't know Coach Tang En's attitude towards him. Many domestic media have analyzed that Forests just want to buy a substitute. Why does Tang En emphasize Sun Jihai's "all-round" so much? Isn't he just want to find a substitute for Zimbonda, Leiden; Barnes... and others? If he transfers to Forests, but he doesn't receive attention and abandons Manchester City fans, he feels like an absolute fool.

Tang En decided to call Sun Jihai in person and give him a reassurance.

When the phone was connected, Sun Jihai still habitually greeted him in English. Tang En came up and made a fluent Chinese sentence for him, which shocked him!

"Stop talking about English, I can understand Chinese." He also learned some Northeast accent.

After Sun Jihai understood who the person who came to call him was, it was hard not to laugh. "Your Northeast dialect is not very standard, Mr. Tang En." He also joked.

"Hehe, I'll ask you to learn slowly in the future, and I'm not afraid of learning inconsistently. I know why I called you?"

Sun Jihai nodded: "Yes."

"What are you hesitating about? Worrying that you have no place when you go to the Forest Team? Do you believe what the Chinese media says? Buy a substitute who occasionally goes on the court for four million?! I'm crazy!"

Tang En was clear about that. Some domestic media analyzed for a long time and believed that Nottingham Forest bought Sun Jihai just to increase the thickness of the bench, and the analysis was reasonable. It was very effective in confusing readers.

But after reading the whole article, Tang En just wanted to curse people. As he said to Sun Jihai: Buy a substitute for 4 million pounds. The Forest team is not so expensive for burning money.

"The Forest team has played multiple lines this season, and there are no major substitutes in the team. Whoever is in good shape and performs well will start. If they are in poor physical condition, they will go to rest.

Just that simple thing, the media made abcdefg come.

Sun Jihai's hands holding the phone were shaking. He was trying hard to hold back his laughter, but in the end he couldn't hold it in.

"Mr. Tang En, you should be the most humorous coach I have ever met."

"Actually, I am a good person." Tang Enshun crawled. "You will know when you come."

Sun Jihai was silent for a while.

"Sun. " To be honest, it was a bit awkward to Tang En call Sun Jihai like this. He really wanted to call him "Jihai", but he also felt that it was too artificial to call him like this when he first met.

"What is it for being a professional player? Make money? There will always be a day when you retire, right? There will always be times when you can't make money anymore, right? When you decide to wash your hands and stop doing it, you always have to leave something different for yourself, right? To be honest, you are like this in Manchester City, and you will continue like this in the future.

Manchester City is a team with no ambitions, but I have it. Nottingham Forest has it. I believe you can also see it from the transfer market in the past two years.

I bought you from Manchester City, one is not to spend 4 million to buy a substitute and sit on the bench as an audience; the other is not to open up any Asian market or Chinese market. I just like your abilities and are very helpful to the team.

I say that, what are you still hesitating about?”

There was another silence. Tang En didn't say anything anymore. He had finished what he should say. What else could he say? If Sun Jihai still didn't come, he would have no choice. He complained secretly. Then he went to Pierce to rent Richards again.

But he didn't believe that Sun Jihai could still refuse invitations from him. No matter what, transferring to Nottingham Forest is a good deal for a player like Sun Jihai. The treatment is higher than Manchester City.

Honor, Forest team has the ambition and goal of winning honor. Fame. Four million high-profile teams joining the Champions League, which won more than just increase in value.

Tang En quietly waited for Sun Jihai to answer him. Soon, he got the answer he wanted.
