Chapter 1020
Although he acted confident in front of Xia Yang, Tang En actually didn't have any plans in his heart.Although Chen Jian once expressed his desire to play in the forest team, but that was four years ago. After four years, he has flourished in the Spaniards, so why should he go back? Woolen cloth?
He called Chen Jian, but he couldn't hear what Chen Jian was thinking just by listening to the voice on the phone.He didn't know exactly what Chen Jian was thinking.What if people look down on Nottingham Forest now?It's not impossible, after all, the current forest team is really a little bit down.

Voices in England now generally believe that Nottingham Forest's goal this season should be relegation, and if no changes are made, even relegation may become a problem. The cloud of George Wood's possible retirement has been hanging over this team. , making people panic.

Moreover, not many players who have transferred to the Forest team in recent years have performed well, and quite a few people who have left have radiated light and heat again.Such stark contrast and contrast make others think that the Forest team has become a "star black hole".Everyone is eager to escape from this black hole, how could anyone be willing to do the opposite?

In addition to that dishonest manager, although he promised to give him a higher signing fee, he still has no intention of cooperating obediently, and he is still thinking about his own wishes.

These conditions are very unfavorable...

As long as he is a smart person, the possibility of choosing the Forest team is not high.But he still wants to come to Spain this time, just to try his best again.In addition, how can I say that I am also a famous coach in the world, maybe influence can play a role?

Aren't many players eager to play under Wenger?So is there no player who wants to play under me?

Tang En thought so.

Then he received a call from Xia Yang.

"Congratulations, Mr. Tang En." There was no reluctance in the voice on the other end of the phone, as if this decision was agreed by Xia Yang from the bottom of his heart. "I have discussed it with A Jian, and we both think joining Nottingham Forest is a good choice. A Jian has always wanted to play for the Forest team, and I respect his opinion. I will try my best to promote the success of the Forest team and the Espanyol team. agreement between them."

Regardless of whether this manager is sincere or not, Tang En can breathe a sigh of relief now.The next step is to negotiate at the club level. After Allen Adams was fired, there are other people around, and Evan Dalgety will also come forward when necessary.Now that he is begging himself, he will naturally satisfy any request.That being the case, Tang En was not polite.

After Chen Jian's matter was settled, Tang En could finally relax and enjoy a Barcelona derby.

※ ※ ※

The day before the match, Chen Jian received a call from his agent, Mr. Xia, telling him that he had reached an agreement with Twain, and that the next step would be to negotiate with the Spaniard after this important derby was over.

Chen Jian heaved a sigh of relief, he was finally able to devote all his energy to this game.

"Hey, Chen. Barcelona's midfielder will definitely mark you closely in this game. You are our core. If you are frozen, our offense and defense will have problems. What are you going to do then?" Teammate When Gavrilovic was chatting with Chen Jian before the tactical meeting, he asked about the next day's game.

As soon as the Serbian central defender asked such a question, the surrounding teammates also became interested.They gathered around one after another, wanting to hear what Chen Jian had to say.This is actually a small game within their team. Chen Jian has a clear mind and seems to have a natural insight into football, so before the game everyone likes to ask him to guess if something happens during the game, what will he do? How to do it.Then use it as a reference with the actual game situation or the head coach's arrangement to see if he is correct.

Of course, there will be some small bets between them, such as a little money, or a meal.Chen Jian would win most of the time.

If this is not the case, how could he be the core midfielder of the La Liga team as a Chinese?Relying on his performance, he completely conquered critical teammates and coaches.This is a place where strength is emphasized. As long as you have strength, you can win respect.Chen Jian won the trust of his teammates by virtue of his ingenuity.

"If they stare at me closely, I will retreat." Chen Jian smiled. "From central midfielder to defensive midfielder. I don't think Barcelona's defensive midfielder can rush to our penalty area to mark me?"

"They can substitute people to stare at you, such as forwards or attacking midfielders to harass you on the spot." Another teammate who spoke was Israeli defender Jofer Fogelman.

Chen Jian thought for a while. "It's very unlikely. Barcelona's strikers are lazy...but it's not impossible. If that's the case, I'll play the ball quickly and give you more. Be careful Jove, don't take my The return pass was stopped."

He pointed to Fogelman, who was attacking him.

The teammates around him let out a burst of knowing laughter.

Chen Jian has a good temper, rarely gets angry, and always smiles with his teammates, so he is very popular.No one likes a teammate with a straight face all day long, this oriental guy is very likable.

In the tactical meeting later, regarding the issue of Barcelona's tight defense against Chen Jian, the head coach Manzano really arranged for Chen Jian to move back in this game, changing from his previous central midfielder to a defensive midfielder.

Hearing the head coach's arrangement, many teammates lamented in their hearts: Lost money again!

Chen Jian smiled happily.But then he remembered that he was leaving this team and these teammates in winter, and his smile stopped abruptly.To pursue your original dream, you must give up everything you have now. Is it worth it or not?

The Barcelona derby one day later is the highlight of the current round of La Liga. In the past three seasons, the Spaniard's performance has been stable in the middle, and he is no longer the underdog who was barely able to avoid relegation.Such a Spaniard can also cause enough trouble for Barcelona in the derby.Every year in the derby at the Cornea Alprat Stadium (the Espanyol's new home), Barcelona can't afford anything.In the three derbies in these three seasons, Barcelona's results in this stadium are two draws and one loss.

But back at home, Barcelona's results are also good. They won two and one draw at Camp Nou, and they haven't lost yet.

Today's game will be held at Camp Nou.

Tang En was invited by Xia Yang to watch the match with him in the stands.Now that they have decided to transfer to Nottingham Forest, then Xia Yang and Chen Jian have the same interests, and they won't feel awkward sitting together to watch the game.

In this game, Barcelona really implemented a very strict marking strategy against Chen Jianjian.Chen Jian wears the Spaniard's No. 10 jersey, which is enough to illustrate his role and status in the team.In the past few seasons, the Spaniard's midfielder has been dispatched by Chen Jian. As a small team, there are no more powerful players and a thick enough bench, so the tactics are inevitably monotonous.Chen Jian is the core of their tactics. Once he is marked to death, the team's performance will be greatly reduced.

After all, Chen Jian is not a world-class star, not even top-notch in Europe.Otherwise, the Spaniard wouldn't be at the current level.But the same-city derby is another matter. In such a match, the strength of the two teams must be put aside, and the result and process of the match need to be calculated separately.It can be said that no matter how many superstars there are in Barcelona, ​​how strong the original strength is, how many championships they have won, and how good their recent results are, before this game, both sides have been pulled to the same level.

Whether you can win this game often depends not on your strength, but on your fighting spirit and spirit.

The game entered a high-speed track from the very beginning, and the players on both sides fought fiercely, with a strong smell of gunpowder.

It was also the first time for Tang En to see such a fiery Chen Jian.

Five minutes into the game, he had the ball in midfield, and after Barcelona's midfielder Busquez knocked him down, he found a chance to retaliate one minute later.At that time, Busquez was about to break through when he was holding the ball, but Chen Jian stretched out his foot from behind and hooked his toes, and his center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the ground.

Busquez got up and wanted to trouble Chen Jian, but Chen Jian pushed his head up without showing any weakness.The heights of the two are different, Chen Jian is shorter than Busquez, but his expression is extremely fierce, not at all inferior to Busquez of Gundam.

Tang En laughed in the stands: "Oh, he looks a bit like George... No wonder the media say he is a smaller George Wood..."

"The usual A Jian is not like this." Xia Yang didn't seem to like such a fierce Chen Jian. "His image is healthy and sunny, and he is very popular with sponsors."

No wonder.Tang En smiled, stopped talking, and continued watching the game.

In terms of strength, Barcelona is even better, but they are embarrassed by the Spaniard's mad dog-like pressing tactics. The Spaniard seems to have no consideration for the physical strength of the second half. The attack was launched after stealing the ball on the spot in the front field, which made Barcelona's defense only exhausted.

The tactics are quite right. If the Spaniard has one or two shooters who can seal the throat with a sword, the situation will be even more favorable.It's a pity... This is the tragedy of a small team.

No matter how powerful the head coach is, he is also constrained by the strength of the team itself and cannot fully play.It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Tang En really admired that Manzano, even though they had never met him before.It is a remarkable achievement to be able to stabilize a team like the Spaniard in the middle of La Liga.It is also in his hands that Chen Jian can perform well.It is not bad to say that he is Chen Jian's second Bole.

※ ※ ※

The first goal was indeed the more active, more fighting spirit and the visiting team Espanyol.In the 31st minute of the game, the Spaniard first used a series of violent offensives to exhaust Barcelona's back line physically and mentally, and then Chen Jian, who was holding the ball in the defensive midfielder, suddenly passed a long oblique pass near the center circle , the football managed to avoid the blocking of the three Barcelona players along the way, and accurately gave it to the striker teammate Emilio who cut in from the wing. Barcelona goalkeeper Roberto lobs the goal.

The Nou Camp stadium, which was still like a pot of boiling water just now, immediately fell silent, only a small group of Spaniard fans were cheering, and they shouted the name of the goal hero Emilio.

Twain also stood up and applauded the Spaniard's goal.But he was not for Emilio, but for the No. 35 who sent a 10-meter penetrating pass to Emilio.

Compared with four years ago, it is really mature...

The difficulty of this kick is to accurately find the opening and passing path at that moment in the ever-changing situation on the field, and at the same time judge whether your teammates can run to this opening and grasp the timing of passing the ball. The teammate can't catch it, and the teammate is offside too late.In addition, the use of footwork is also very important. In such a long passing distance, passing the ball close to the ground, the speed is faster, but the difficulty also increases.Strictly speaking, there is only one path that allows the football to go directly to the destination, and the width is less than three meters. If the football passes through such a long and narrow area, and the undefeated opponent breaks it, it is really very particular about the passing skills under the feet. Strength and precision must be qualified.

Xia Yang, a half-hearted man, just praised Chen Jian's performance from the sidelines, his voice was loud, and he seemed to hope that Tang En would give more in his personal contract after hearing it.Tang En didn't bother with his calculations, he saw a lot from this pass, and became more determined to sign Chen Jian.

Wood and Chen Jian's styles are not exactly the same, so don't worry about the waste of overlapping positions and overlapping effects.Moreover, two people are on the field at the same time, which can also prevent the opponent from marking one of them to death, which will lead to the paralysis of the team's offense.Both of them can attack well and defend well. No matter who goes up, they can organize the offense, and no matter who retreats, they can defend firmly.It's just that Wood's physical fitness is better. In the offense, his strong attack in the middle is very threatening, while Chen Jian relies more on passing to achieve this goal. The two can complement each other.

Tang En had already begun to sketch in his mind how the Forest team would attack and defend when these two people appeared on the field at the same time.

※ ※ ※

The subsequent game Barcelona showed their strength, the giants are giants after all.

In the second half, the Spaniard's physical strength dropped sharply, and he couldn't keep up with Barcelona's rhythm. They scored two goals in 10 minutes.

Chen Jian's physical strength is not bad. As a midfielder, his running is not as low as those of the wide players, but the number of sprints is less.Later, his physical strength was still able to support, and more football was passed to his feet.Barcelona also saw it, so they identified Chen Jian.It was originally a derby, and the atmosphere was hot, so naturally they would not be polite when defending.Chen Jian was kicked black three times, and someone in Barcelona also received a yellow card for him.

Tang En was a little worried that Chen Jian would be injured in this match, and began to hope that Manzano would replace Chen Jian.But Manzano was unmoved. Instead, he asked Chen Jian to give up the position of the midfielder, continue to press forward, and push up to the position of the midfielder.

Then he made adjustments, replacing Emilio, the goal hero and exhausted, with a defensive midfielder Benjamin.This appears to be a substitution that strengthens the defense.

But what happened next made Tang En have to admire Manzano's methods, even though it was a bit... well, at all costs.

As the core, Chen Jian was often kicked and pushed by Barcelona players. It was common for him to fall to the ground. Since it was a derby match, the referee blew his whistle very frequently, for fear that if he was negligent, the two sides would scuffle together.

So in this way, the Spaniard also won a lot of free kicks in the frontcourt.

Benjamin, who came on, obviously had the talent for free kicks, because he took over all the team's set kicks as soon as he came on the field.

Tang En could more or less see Manzano's plan.

When the game went on to 77 minutes, the Spaniard was about 25 meters away from the goal, facing the fans, and Chen Jian made another free kick.This time, Benjamin stood in front of the ball and made it in one move. The football bypassed the wall and went into the net.

For the second time, the Camp Nou fell silent.

Tang En, on the other hand, clapped his hands and laughed loudly in the stands.Manzano's wishful thinking...

In the end, the game was tied 2:2. Although Barcelona did not lose the game at home, as a home game, it would be considered a failure if they did not win the game.And Espanyol were aggrieved at not beating Barcelona.

Various wars of words after the game were inevitable, but Twain didn't care about them anymore.

As soon as the game was over, he asked his agent Xia Yang to send a text message to Chen Jian, telling him that he wanted to meet him.
