Chapter 4: The iron-killed camp, the flowing soldiers

The transfer market will not open until July 1st. Before that, even if he had signed a contract with the Forest team, Al Shavin could not come to the Forest team to report, and he will continue to stay in Russia.

After Al Shavin signed, Tang En's heart was settled.

The arrival of the Russians made Anelka know that his days in the Forest team were over. Although Don En did not call his agent brother directly and said, "Your brother is not within my plan for next season." That was because he no longer wanted to have any conversations with Anelka. This season, Don En really didn't say a word to Anelka. Whether in training or in the game, when tactics were needed, he asked Don to tell Anelka that he stood aside and completely treated the French striker as air.

He is such a person. No matter how much he jokes when his relationship is good, he can easily do anything ruthless.

He knew that Arshavin was coming, and Anelka's two brothers should have a result.

Sure enough, the next day, sports news reported that several clubs were interested in Anelka. However, most of them were mid- and lower-level teams, such as Fulham, Bolton, and Villarreal in La Liga.

Don Eun is happy to throw Anelka into these teams that are best for the League Cup, so that he can experience the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the strict society. But Anelka probably won't be willing to go. Maybe Villarreal is not bad?

When the reporters went to interview Tang En, Tang En made a statement. “As long as the price is right, we are willing to sell Anelka.”

On the same day, Nottingham Forest Club received a offer from Fulham and Bolton. Bolton offered 8 million pounds, but Don't even think about it and refused. It cost 8 million to buy Anelka, but Don't think he stayed in the team for three years. He also won a European Champions League striker without any increase in value.

Fulham was a little more generous, ten million. Donn agreed to the offer, and then the Forest Club notified Anelka's agent that he could negotiate terms with Fulham.

Of course Anelka knew what Don En thought - he wanted to hang out with the middle and lower-level teams. He had to be unable to do what he wanted, so this time Anelka refused without thinking. He said in an interview with the media that he liked Nottingham Forest, his teammates, his fans, and his life here. To prove it, he also showed his house here as evidence to fight a protracted battle. In addition, he also said that he had no conflicts with coach Tony Don En, and he was happy to continue playing under the coach.

Anyone who knows some of the stories of these two people will sneer at this answer, and so will Tang En, but he still has no choice but to deal with Anelka.

If Anelka doesn't want to leave, he will not be able to force him to drive him away. He knows that Anelka is waiting for stronger teams to take action, and the French striker of course would not want to stay on the Forest team as the bench. He is not the kind of person who is willing to get a salary on the bench.

After waiting for another day, it is estimated that Anelcati's agent and Villarreal have agreed that the Spanish club will officially offer the Forest team - 8 million pounds.

This price made Don En furious. He believed that it was Anelka's two agents, brothers, who colluded with the opponent's club and used private contact with the players. He then jointly put pressure on the Forest team in order to buy Anelka at the cheapest price.

Don Eun directly rejected Villarreal again, in the fax of the rejection. He told the Spaniard straightforwardly: "Please don't talk about it again if you are less than 10 million pounds."

Anelka knows to use the media to put pressure on him, so why doesn’t Tang En know to use the media to put pressure on the other party?

He used Anelka's previous remarks to oppose the opponent's army.

"...Yes, Nicholas and I have a very good relationship with each other, and there is no conflict between us. I hope he stays with the Forests to play. As we all know, we lack a speed striker. "Poor Arshavin was "forgotten" by Donn. "But. As a good friend of Nicholas, I will not hinder his idea of ​​pursuing new challenges. If he wants to seek new stimulation, I will let go. But... there is a condition here. He is a Nottingham Forest player, who just won the European Champions League scorer, and he must have a quote that matches his identity. I don't think the price of 8 million pounds to send beggars like this is respect for my players and my team. If you really want Anelka, please show enough sincerity."

This is a beautiful word, what is enough sincerity? It is enough pounds.

Donn changed the words Anelka had used to block him in the media. He made Anelka and his agent brother a mute - they couldn't say anything. They couldn't say publicly: "We and Villarreal have reached an agreement in private. We promised to let the players help them put pressure on the Forest team to ensure that they buy Anelka at the lowest price. Then we can get discounts from it."

In that case, Donn would be happy to sue Villarreal and Anelka's two brothers to FIFA.

It was precisely because they knew that everything they did was shameful that Anelka's two brothers were so crazy. They wanted to use Anelka's remarks to put pressure on the Forest Club and demonstrate to Don En. Unexpectedly, Don En would be played with.

Villarreal originally thought that giving 8 million pounds to a player who had been on the bench for a year in the Forest team was enough to give the Forest team a face. Unexpectedly, the head coach of the other side was so "unresponsible" and even thought that 8 million pounds was a beggar! He didn't see who Anelka had become, and no one was interested in the transfer market! He was not the main player of the team, so he wrote such idiotic words as "Please don't talk about it if you are less than 10 million"!

Villarreal was upset and stopped raising the price.

Now, Anelka and his two brothers were caught in the middle, not leaving or staying.

Tang En didn't care about them and asked them to go to trouble. He was busy contacting other locations to sign up.

Anelka is eager to sell himself to those big clubs, but he played too few times last season, which makes many teams that were originally interested in him hesitate now.

Others of the Forest team are different from him. Those who have proved their ability in the Forest team have also seen their value rise as the Forest team won the Championship Cup. Many clubs have expressed their interest in the Forest team players.

In the past few years, when the Forests were not yet famous, almost no one cared about these people. Now the various transfer requests to fly to Nottingham Forest Club have made Tang En a little worried.

Looking at the subscription lists of these teams, it will almost emptie the entire Forest team's lineup.

Ribery and George Wood are the two most popular players in the transfer market, and many wealthy clubs have liked them. The most substantial thing so far is the offer Real Madrid gave Wood - 20 million pounds.

Real Madrid's pursuit of Wood is not a matter of one or two days. Although the news has not been made public yet, someone has already sniffed it in the media.

George Wood is the captain of the Forest team and the banner and core of the future. Even if Real Madrid offers 200 million pounds, Don N will not sell it.

Ribery's situation is similar to Wood. Ribery was dug out from the French low-level league. He brought it to England and gave him a chance to become a world-class star. Now there are many teams that like him, but Done does not intend to talk to the clubs waving the checks.

Nottingham Forest does not have to betray its leading stars to survive, nor does it say that it will fall apart if it wins the championship.

And this is only a champion.   If you are satisfied with this, Tang En would not be Tang En.

Although Tang En still doesn't want to sell any player who is useful to the team, he seems a bit too wishful thinking in this context.

Just on the morning of June 27, Donn received a call from Mikel Arteta's agent.

During the phone call, the agent told Donn that Premier League team Everton was very interested in Arteta, and Moyes hoped to introduce this midfielder who could not play the main player in the Forest team, and the agent hoped to listen to the club's opinions.

Tang En originally wanted to respond with conditioned reflex "No", but he calmed down instantly.

He knew that Arteta was in the team now, hesitating about Van der Fate's arrival and George Wood's maturity, and Ribery's talent discovery in the middle. Espanyol can no longer find a position in the Forest's midfield. He lacks the strength to play in the main force, and it is a waste of playing as a substitute...

Tang En once had a headache about this person's chance to play, but he was reluctant to sell it because Arteta can effectively supplement the team's lineup. But this is from the perspective of Tang En, the head coach, and he did not look at it from the perspective of Arteta himself as a player.

"My opinion? I want to hear Mikel's thoughts first." He was unwilling to answer directly.

The agent told Donn that Arteta also hopes to leave the Forests and promises to give him the main position Everton.
