Chapter 1030

Although the Queen of England's award was rejected, this caused an uproar in Ying's country.However, Tang En was not affected at all. He still led the team to play games. Every time the Forest team played at home, the Crimson Stadium was still packed, and the media in the Nottingham area still sang his praises every week.The small group of voices against the media did not affect him at all.

The British royal family only expressed regret that such a well-known figure as Tang En refused to be awarded the honor, and did not say anything more.Perhaps they think that it is really a cheap thing to have the same knowledge as a commoner as a royal family?

But there must be people who are dissatisfied with Tang En's open letter, because they feel offended.Tang En didn't care how they were feeling.Let those who hate themselves continue to hate.

"The ranking of Nottingham Forest has risen from No.17 to No.14..."

Xia Yang was flipping through the news of international football with a newspaper.

"Are you still questioning my choice, Uncle Xia?" Chen Jian was sitting next to him, peeling an apple for himself.

"Hey..." Xia Yang had to admit that in terms of trust in Tang En, he was not as good as the kid beside him. "The victories in a few games are nothing more than that, it doesn't explain the problem. And I heard that Tang En will only coach until the end of this season, and then he will retire again. What will you do then? You must know 'one emperor, one courtier', Ah Jian. "

"Even if I can only stay at Nottingham Forest for half a season, my value will be higher than now, don't you know, Uncle Xia?" Chen Jian lifted the apple peel, one apple was not broken, and even become one. "What's more, maybe the new head coach likes me too?"

"It's a good idea." Xia Yang gave him a blank look, but he also hoped so in his heart.

"What did the club say?"

"Nottingham Forest has formally made an offer to them, but they haven't given any reply yet. I think they are going to wait until the winter transfer window opens, hoping to attract more clubs to pay attention to you..." One said At this point, Xia Yang frowned. "I've given the news to the media, but I don't think they're putting enough pressure on the club."

"If possible, I hope to join the forest team as soon as possible, Uncle Xia."

Xia Yang glanced at him: "Then you have to go to talk to Manzano in person, A Jian. The news from the media will only be regarded as speculation, but they have to consider the wishes of the players themselves."

Chen Jian put the apple in his mouth and took a bite, "Okay, I'll go find the head coach."

※ ※ ※

Chen Jian went to have a showdown with his head coach Manzano, while Twain was having a showdown with his subordinate Thiago Silva.

"To be honest, Thiago. The club doesn't need you now. If you can find a new club after the winter transfer window opens, then the club will be very grateful for your contribution to the team over the past few years." Tang En sat on a chair in the office and watched the 33-year-old central defender sitting on the sofa.

The expressions of both of them were a little indifferent. Tang En had long wanted to get rid of the "one bully" in the locker room.Now the opportunity has finally come.

In the last round of the league, Twain implemented a rotation system in the dense schedule.Thiago Silva, who has not played since he took office, finally started, but his performance is not flattering. At the age of 33, he obviously cannot withstand the impact of the opponent's young striker, with slow speed, slow turning and bouncing No, the place where he is located has become the key point for the opponent to break through.In the end, Twain had to replace Silva at the beginning of the second half and replace him with Sakho, only then did he stabilize the situation.

Although the Forest team only achieved a draw in this game, many people saw Silva's embarrassing performance.

"I hope to fulfill my contract with the club and retire from Forest Team..." Silva put forward his opinion expressionlessly.

"If you are willing to leave the team in January next year, the club will compensate you for the remaining half of the season's salary." In order to get rid of this person, Twain spared no expense, and Evan Dalgety also obeyed Twain's words, It doesn't hurt him to ask him to pay.

"I still have a year and a half of contract with the club."

Thiago Silva's words are actually reminding the club to compensate and should compensate for one and a half seasons' salary.Of course Dunn and Evan would not agree to such a request, but at the very least it showed that Silva was not unable to leave, but that there was no price that satisfied him.

Tang En can only scold Evan in his heart for being confused at the time, and actually signed another three-year contract with a 32-year-old central defender. I really don't know what he thinks... I heard that this matter is Alan He did it, and now he doubts whether Allen received kickbacks from Silva's agent.

From this point of view, it may not be a whim for Evan to leave Allen.

What if Silva insists on fulfilling the contract for one and a half years?
Tang En said: "Then let me show my cards to you, Thiago. From today until your contract expires, I will no longer include you in the starting list, nor will I put you in the big list. Everything You don't get a single second in a game, even a pre-season game. The team doesn't need you now, you can go back to Brazil for vacation or somewhere else, I don't know if you come to training or not Never mind. But every time you miss a training session, I will deduct a week's salary. If you are late for a training session, I will also deduct a week's salary. What do you think of this condition?"

Thiago Silva suddenly changed color - this head coach is simply too ruthless!

Seeing his change of color, Tang En grinned and laughed silently.He is not afraid at all that doing so will cause a backlash from the players, because the popularity of this Brazilian in the locker room is not much better than that of Balotelli, especially many native English players and those old players are eager to see Silva What a disaster.

The conversation has already reached this point, and it seems that there is no need to talk about it.Silva will definitely not discuss here calmly with Tang En, and Tang En does not intend to waste his saliva.

Silva left the head coach's office with a very unsightly face. Tang En believed that the next person looking for him would be his agent, but he was not afraid.It would be best if Silva wanted to leave, but if he insisted on staying, he was also confident that the Brazilian would know who had the final say on Wilford and Nottingham Forest.

※ ※ ※

But Dunn didn't wait for Silva's agent, and Silva didn't arrive late or miss training. Instead, he worked harder in training.Tang En thought that the other party was trying to test him, to see if the flowers he mentioned were real or bluffing.

Tang En was not afraid that the opponent would not believe him, so in the next week's double match, Silva did not even make the squad.

In fact, Silva has not been selected for two consecutive rounds, and it is not news, so basically the media did not pay much attention at the beginning.But then there was news about the conflict between Silva and Twain in the "Sun".

Tang En could think on his knees that this must be a good thing done by Silva's agent, and wanted to use this to put pressure on himself?What a joke.Are you still afraid of this?
Sure enough, reporters soon came to the door and asked Tang En if the conflict with Silva was true.

Dunn didn't answer this question directly: "It's just that he was not included in the squad for two league rounds. Isn't this a normal thing for a central defender who is almost 34 years old? I really don't know why you are surprised?"

As Tang En's partner, Evan Dougherty came out at this time: "The club thanks Silva for his contribution to the club in the four seasons. The club also hopes that he can have more achievements at the end of his career." Good development."

This sentence is equivalent to euphemistically expressing the club's position - we stand with Tony Twain.

Both Nottingham Forest and Tony Twain were right in this matter. They really didn't need to waste their weekly salary for an old man who basically couldn't play often.They don't care if people criticize them as impersonal.These days, how many clubs are really humane?Besides, human touch is naturally for those truly loyal ministers, not everyone can enjoy it, otherwise it is not human touch, but a nursing home. AC Milan used to be considered the most humane club, but they didn't see anyone staying, and a large number of people would still be driven away every year.Professional football is such a world, it is actually very cruel...

In fact, everyone in the team knew that Twain and Silva had conflicts, but no one came forward to say anything.Even those foreign players who used to circle around Silva now seem to have encountered the plague to him, hiding as far away as possible...

The boss who was once able to compete with George Wood in the locker room suddenly became alienated, and he no longer had the capital to continue dealing with Tang En.After these two rounds of competition, he was convinced that Twain was a person who could do what he said.He was not selected for the two rounds of the league and was just a warning. If he slacked off in training and Tang En caught him, he would be punished.

It seems that my good days here are over.

Tang En finally met with Silva's agent. He came to confirm whether it was true that if Silva left the Forest team this winter, the club would compensate him for the remaining half of the season's salary.

Tang En nodded and promised that they could inform the news media about this matter. If the club fails to fulfill this promise by then, Silva can seek justice for himself through the news media.

The next thing is simple.

Silva hopes to return to Brazil to end his career.The club also generously stated that the team can terminate the contract with Silva in advance and compensate him for the remaining half of the season's salary.In this way Silva is free to join any club he wants to join and there are still people who want him.

At the same time, the transfer negotiations for Chen Jian are still going on.The Spaniard asked for 2000 million yuan, and both Evan and Twain thought it was a big opening for the Lions.Even if Chen Jian is the core of the Spaniards, he is not worth the price.So they deliberately cooled down the negotiations, in fact, they were waiting for news from Barcelona.

Within a few days, the local media in Barcelona reported that Nottingham Forest intended to buy Chen Jian. At the same time, Chen Jian also found Manzano, showed him his cards, and expressed his desire to leave the team.

As a head coach, Manzano certainly does not want his internal core to leave the team.But he was under pressure from both the club and the individual players.Chen Jian was so determined to leave that he even did not hesitate to give up the training.And the club also hopes to sell Chen Jian in exchange for the transfer budget for next season.

In the end, after repeated negotiations, the two parties finalized the transfer fee at 900 million pounds.And Chen Jian became the most expensive player in the history of Chinese professional football.And he has once again attracted the attention of world football.Of course, it is not only him who has attracted the attention of the world, but also Nottingham Forest, which bought him.

Many media don't understand why Nottingham Forest bought a Chinese midfielder with similar technical characteristics and style to Wood, and he is no longer young.But this time, no reporter jumped out to mock and ridicule Tang En. Facing this Tang En who was used to slapping others, they all learned to be patient.The media were all waiting, waiting for Chen Jian to come to the Forest team to make a fool of himself before attacking him.

Tang En didn't care what the media thought. It would be better for them to be confused, because then his opponents would also be confused.

He is happy that this transfer negotiation was finally settled before the winter transfer window opened.In this way, on January [-] next year, when the transfer window just opened, Chen Jian can be introduced.

In the phone call to Chen Jian, Tang En told him that he had good news: "If you can pass the medical examination, then you will be able to catch up with the FA Cup on January [-]th."

Chen Jian didn't understand why this was considered good news?If it is good news to be able to play for the new club as soon as possible, it is also good news for his players, so what does it have to do with the head coach?

"The match schedule has already been announced. Nottingham Forest will face Notts County in the first match of the FA Cup this season." Tang En smiled on the other end of the phone, "To tell you the truth, Chen Jian. My successor It is your compatriot, and you will have the opportunity to show your strength in front of him in the FA Cup."

Hearing this, Chen Jian understood Tang En's intention.

He knew that Tang and Twain were not the kind of head coaches who would only be nepotism. There was no doubt that Tang would become the head coach of Nottingham Forest in the future. Just because of Twain's recommendation, no one in Nottingham would question Twain's words. .If you don't want to just be a passing visitor of Nottingham Forest, then you have to show your strength in front of the next head coach.Wouldn't it be better to show it in front of his eyes in advance than to wait for him to show it after he takes office?
This is indeed good news.

On the night of Christmas, Tang En and his daughter Teresa hosted a banquet at home for George Wood and Miss Vivienne.The year that is about to pass has many happy events for Tang En. Although Sophia left her son this year, Tang En is very happy to see that Wood can have a new start, a new life that is completely his own... …
