Chapter 224: The Man Keane (Part 1)

When Roy Keane appeared again to train alone at Nottingham Forest's Wilford training base, the newspaper was reporting on his breaking appointment with Real Madrid.

It is said that even the physical examination was passed. While both parties were preparing to sign the contract, Roy; Keane suddenly chose to refuse the transfer and left Madrid.

No one knows why he left. Some speculated that it was because of the contract term, some speculated that it was because of the faction in Real Madrid's locker room, and some speculated that it was because of the family.

Although perhaps apart from the agent, Tang En did not ask him the reason for the person closest to Keane. This is a relatively private matter and he is not inconvenient to inquire about it. He is not a omnipresent paparazzi.

The players were also surprised by Keane's return, but everyone still restrained their curiosity. No one took the initiative to ask about the story behind the breakup of Real Madrid.

Michael; Kennedy has been missing for many days. When he comes back from Madrid, he is getting busier. He is flying in the air all day long, looking for a suitable team for Keane.

It is no wonder that such an agent can accompany Keane from an unknown person to a world-class superstar. His performance has somewhat changed some of the prejudice he has always been towards his agent.

During this period, Don Eun was not idle but just followed Keen. His team played three rounds of games in the league. On the 11th, he challenged Manchester United away, and the two sides shook hands 1:1.

After the game, while the two coaches were drinking together, Ferguson thanked Don Eun in person for providing training bases for Kean alone at this time.

On the 14th, the Forest team played a third round of the league away game. Their opponent was West Ham United. The result of this game was that Don't defeated the "Hammer Gang" 3:1.

On the 17th, Nottingham Forest defeated Charlton 4-0 at home. The seventeen rounds of the game have passed, and they ranked second in the league with 39 points, and they are still four points away from Chelsea, which is the first in the league.

In the first half of the season, the dark horse of Wigan Athletics seemed to have lost its dark horse's cloak and encountered strong teams one after another before Christmas, losing again and again, and its ranking dropped from the third in the league to sixth.

Manchester United and Liverpool caught up, one with 37 points and the other with 31 points. They ranked third and fourth. Arsenal's situation is not very good. They only earn 26 points in one game less, ranking eighth.

Except for the game against Manchester United, Keane was present in the other two games when Donn set up specific tactics a few days before the game. He deliberately avoided pre-match tactical training with Manchester United.

That day, he gave himself a day off and went shopping in the city center.

The draw was the best ending for Roy Keane, who trained at the Forests' Wilford Base.

Two days after returning from Madrid, the day's training ended. Don Eun returned to his office to pack up his things and prepare to go home.

At this time, the door was knocked.

"Please come in."

When he saw Keen pushing the door open, Tangen was not surprised.

"I'll say goodbye to you."

"Go home for Christmas?"

"Well, I can say that. But I won't come after Christmas."

Donn was a little surprised, he looked up at the Irishman standing in front of him.

"The Celtics are very interested in me. They sent me an invitation."

"Which team from Su Chao?"

Keane nodded: "That's the team I've loved since I was a child, and I hope to spend the last time of my career there."

After hearing Keen say this, Don was silent for a while. Perhaps because he still had a trace of his dream that he would like to be here through these days, he decided to stay. When he heard Keen say he was going to play football at the Celtics.

He was a little disappointed.

"That's it, I wish you good luck, Roy."

Keane coughed, "I know it's useless to say this now, but I still want to tell you before leaving - I originally planned to take the initiative to talk to you about the contract with the Forest team, if the Celtics didn't intervene."

Donn looked at Keen.

"I admit that during these ten days of getting along, I gradually fell in love with this team. Have I told you that I don't have much feelings for the Forests. Nottingham Forest is special to me, just because of Coach Clauve."

"When I came here, Claufe's team had already fallen into a trough, and I could feel what the ending was like. The locker room was full of despair and complaints, and everyone wanted to leave the club and find another way out.

I am the same. I think the outstanding performance in the Forest team can attract more attention from big clubs, and the facts proved my correctness. Later I went to Manchester United.

"After Clauve left the Forest, Nottingham Forest was no different from hundreds of other professional teams in England. Well... But now I have changed my view.

I like the Nottingham Forest now, which is completely different from what I think. It’s completely different…”

Keane shook his head.

"I've heard a lot of comments about you in Nottingham, and I'm so sorry I didn't hear anything bad about it." The Irish chuckled, "and Michael and I discussed very seriously what would happen if I played under your hands.

The conclusions we came to were very good, I almost chose you. Unfortunately, the Celtics joined in the end.

The team I like to support since I was a child who hoped that I would play for her. I couldn't refuse this invitation. It had nothing to do with any bullshit money and honors, just because I like her.

I hope to be able to wear that jersey at the end of my career, and only then will I feel that my player career is complete and there is no regret.

Hearing this, Tang En sighed: "I understand. What can I say? I can only say: 'Good luck, Roy'."

Keane saw Tang En's appearance and smiled: "Well, thank you, Mr. Tang En. I said before that I wanted to be a coach after retiring because I was influenced by the two coaches.

Now I want to change it. I have been influenced by three coaches, but I will not say the name of the third person. I don’t want him to be too proud.”

Tang En walked up and stretched out his hand: "I hope we will see you on the sidelines one day. You have to be careful, I will not show mercy."

Keane also stretched out his hand: "I never feel soft-hearted in dealing with the enemy."

The two men's hands were tightly held together.

Michael; Kennedy, Roy; Keane's agent waited in the parking lot to Keane walk out of the small building.

"We'll fly to Glasgow tomorrow to talk to them..."

Keane vetoed the plan: "Tell them, wait another day."

Kennedy was a little surprised: "Is there anything else that hasn't been done here?"

Keane looked back at the training ground in the twilight: "I forgot one thing, only to do it again tomorrow." Then he opened the car door and got in.
