Chapter 584
Juventus suddenly rushed into the competition for Anelka, which really caught Tang En by surprise. He remembered that there was no news about Juventus' interest in Anelka before, and Anelka's two agent brothers There also appears to be no link to Juventus.

Of course, if Juventus really planned to pay so much money to buy Anelka, Twain would be more than happy to accept it.On the one hand, the price is higher than the price I bought Anelka at the beginning, and on the other hand, this is Juventus, so Anelka has no excuse not to go, right?

He approved the transfer deal without hesitation, and let Juventus discuss the details of the personal contract with Anelka's agent.

As for another transfer request...

Tang En wondered why Manchester City would come to him. Could it be that they think they have an opportunity to take advantage of the three people on the right?Twain was not surprised at all that Thaksin became the owner of Manchester City, because in this circle, you can hear all kinds of rumors every day. It is not a day or two for Thais to be interested in the Premier League. The influence is huge, and the acquisition of a Premier League club by a wealthy and powerful former president of Thailand is not a shocking big news.

Now the Premier League foreign capital invasion has become a common phenomenon.

Thaksin became the owner of Manchester City, and another Premier League club, Birmingham, has also changed hands recently.Its owner is a Chinese - Yang Ka-shing, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman.

At the same time, the wealthy Arsenal club is also divided into two factions. They have to quarrel all day long over whether to accept the injection of funds from wealthy American businessmen, and even caused a personnel earthquake within the club. Vice-chairman David Dunn was annoyed because of disagreements with the chairman. Resign.You must know that Dunn has a very high reputation in the Arsenal team. The current head coach Wenger was brought back from Japan by Dunn, and Dunn is now the current chairman of the European G14. No small blow.

The full-scale invasion of foreign capital has caused many English clubs to fall into a state of anxiety, excitement and bewilderment.

Earlier, in March this year, Liverpool Football Ltd issued a statement.The statement confirmed what everyone had suspected for a long time. The two American tycoons George Gillett and Tom Hicks completed the acquisition of Liverpool shares.These two people got [-]% of Liverpool's shares and have become Liverpool's well-deserved major shareholders.The two American owners then re-registered Liverpool as a club, making Liverpool a private limited company.

This set is exactly the same as when Evan Dougherty entered Nottingham Forest.

In today's English football, there are fewer and fewer clubs that still retain pure blood. Most teams in the Super League have affairs with foreign capital.

The big boss of Manchester United is the American Glazer, the boss of Chelsea is the rich Russian Abramovich, the boss of Liverpool is the Americans Hicks and Gillett, the boss of Nottingham Forest is the British American Evan Dougherty, The owner of Manchester City is Thaksin from Thailand, the owner of Birmingham is Yang Jiacheng from China, the owner of West Ham United is Magnusson from Iceland, the owner of Portsmouth is French Jew Gadamak, the owner of Aston Villa is Lerner from the United States... …The pioneer of foreign investment in the Premier League is the current owner of Fulham, the Egyptian Fayyad. He became the big owner of the Fulham club as early as 2001 ten years ago. An obscure Second Division team, they were promoted to the Premier League four years later in [-] and have stayed.

Now Arsenal is split over whether to accept foreign capital or not.Should Arsenal finally decide to accept American capital, none of the Premier League's top five would be truly English clubs.In fact, the current Arsenal is often not regarded as an English club, because there are too many foreign players in it... The Gunners are often hated in China because they are too French.

In this country that pays attention to tradition and blood origin, this situation is really a great irony...

The summer of 2007 was the busiest summer for foreign investment in the Premier League.Knowing this background, you will know that this summer is bound to be uneven.

He believed that in order to please the fans of Manchester City, he spent a lot of money and bought people everywhere, vowing to emulate Abramovich back then.

The Brazilian Elano and the Italian Bianchi have both entered the gate of Manchester City. This time they have their eyes on the right forward Ashley Young, who has enjoyed great success with the Forest team in the Premier League and European competitions in the past two seasons.

In the past two seasons, Ashley Young has firmly occupied the throne of the "Assist King" in the Premier League. Although this is related to the Forest team's tactics of flying on both wings and emphasizing wing attacks, it is also related to Ashley Young himself. strength is inseparable.

Lennon is a very talented player. There is no doubt about it. He can't easily squeeze Ashley Young to the bench, which shows Yang's ability.He is different from Ribery on the left. Although both of them are fast and good at breaking through, they are different from Ribery who likes to shoot inside. Yang prefers crosses, which is why he assists more than Ribery. One of the reasons for Rideau.

In the first half of this year, a well-known sports flat card company and the well-known statistics company OPTA jointly released a statistical report, named very imposingly - "The Premier League's Top Ten Low-altitude Flyers List".As the name suggests, it is the ten fastest people.

As soon as the list was announced, Nottingham Forest became the most eye-catching club.Because in the team column after the names of those flying players, Nottingham Forest's name is the team that appears the most times - four times in total.

从No.5到No.8，全是森林队的球员。其中No.5就是阿什利.杨，他的不带球跑是11秒02，但是追球跑却反而被无球跑更快——10秒97。

The other four are sixth place Aaron Lennon and George Wood, and Frank Ribery.

Because of being on the list, it also indirectly helped Ashley Yang increase a little bit.

Thaksin's initial offer this time reached a price of 500 million pounds.How much did Nottingham Forest pay for this right-wing assault genius from Watford?
70 million pounds!
Three years later, that price became £500 million.

Tang En should be satisfied, right?
No.

Tang En thinks too little.

The main player who won the European Championship, the player who was selected into the best team list of the UEFA Champions League last season, and the assist leader of the Premier League for two consecutive times, how could it be worth 500 million?
Nottingham Forest Club quickly responded to Manchester City. The official tone was: "Ashley Young is not for sale. He made a great contribution on the right side of the team and was an important contributor to the Forest team winning the Champions League. Coach Tony Twain Will not sell a meritorious player."

It may have been convincing to say this a week ago, but now it will only make people feel that there is something in the words.

Arteta is gone, are there any meritorious players in the Forest team that cannot be sold?

Manchester City understands it this way-the Forest team thinks they have less money.Otherwise, why do they emphasize the importance of Ashley Young to the Forest team?There is no need for them to say these things again, everyone on earth knows it.

Tang En also hoped that they would understand.

Arteta wanted to stay, but Ashley Young didn't think about it.

Out of love for Gareth Bell and Alan Lennon, Dunn didn't have a good impression of Ashley Young who took them to prostitutes.

Although in the team, Ashley Young was the No. 1 choice for the right forward, but in Dunn's words, "it's just work."Outside of work, Dunn didn't have much communication with this young man whom he personally poached from Watford.He can chat with Bell's father, talk about life ideals with Lennon, joke with Eastwood who is warming up on horseback, teach George Wood, who he values ​​most, with a straight face, and even talk with Van Nistelroo Let's talk about Ferguson together.He just didn't have any contact with Ashley Yang other than work.

In fact, it wasn't like this before, but after that incident, the relationship between him and Ashley Yang cooled down rapidly.Tang En still broods over that incident.

Ashley Young took Bell and Lennon to prostitutes. He believed [-]% that Bell and Lennon hadn't really slept with prostitutes, but when he asked Yang, Yang answered no without hesitation.

It was from that moment that Tang En lost interest in this young man.He knew that Yang was lying, and he said it so calmly and calmly, making one firmly believe that it was not the first time he had lied like this.

Compared with the old man Ferguson, Tang En is not a coach who strictly interferes with the private life of his players.He doesn't mind young people taking some detours in their private lives, and he doesn't mind young people spending money to find women to satisfy their physical needs...as long as it doesn't affect their state on the court, they can do whatever they want.

But he can't allow his players to deceive him and treat him like a three-year-old ignorant child.This is the most unacceptable thing for him.

Why didn't you turn around right away?Because Tang En believed that Lennon was still young and needed to continue to hone his skills, it was too hasty for him to directly play the main force.Lennon was the same as Bell. Twain had a complete training plan for them. He didn't want to spoil them. There are too many young geniuses who have been blown out in this world. Twain didn't want this to happen to his subordinates.Another reason is that Ashley Young's performance in the game is still very stable, and he is still useful to the team.So Tang En kept this matter in his heart. He only expressed his dissatisfaction with Tang at home, but he never mentioned it to anyone else, as if he had already forgotten about it.

When Tang En announced that the Forest team had signed Beckham, everyone was worried about Forest's overcrowded right flank next season, but only Tang knew that this person hadn't really worried about it at all.Even without the generous boss Thaksin this time, Twain would have tried every means to sell Ashley Young. In English football, there are quite a few people who are interested in this right-wing assist king.

However, since he believes that the boss is determined to be this "money is stupid" kid, Tang En doesn't mind making more profits.

For 500 million pounds, you want to buy the main right-wing player of the European champion Nottingham Forest, the new right-wing genius of the England national team, and the assist leader of the Premier League for two consecutive times?Where do you send the beggar, Thaksin "Prime Minister"?
Tang En and Allen carefully analyzed the background after the player acquisition, and thought there was something to be done.

They are not afraid to force a buyer away, because Ashley Young has no shortage of buyers at all, it's just a matter of high prices.

Going back to the background at the beginning of this chapter, although it is the general trend for foreign capital to enter the Premier League clubs, the vast majority of England fans still have strong resistance to this behavior.Not to mention rich people from Russia or the United States, Thaksin, as a person from a small Southeast Asian country, has even stronger feelings of resistance.

He believed this well, so he couldn't wait to announce the news that the team had signed with former England coach Eriksson, just to stabilize the hearts of the people.At the same time, he promised in the media that he will spend at least 5000 million pounds to buy strong players and increase the strength of the team.

Among the transfers the team has been short on so far include Brazilian midfielder Elano and Italian striker Bianchi.

To be honest, these two people have no influence at all in the minds of England fans. He believes that if he intends to rely on these two people to appease the hearts of the people, he will definitely suffer a big loss.Thaksin is not a fool, of course he knows this, so after the two transactions were settled, Manchester City started to chase in the transfer market non-stop.

This time, after he talked with Eriksson, he set the focus of the breakthrough on Ashley Young, the right forward of the Forest and England team.Eriksson used to be the head coach of England. Ashley Young played in the World Cup in Germany. Eriksson knew Ashley Young's ability.

Another reason is that Ashley Young is a local player, and his domestic fame and appeal in England are much higher than those of Elano and Bianchi.To increase his status in the eyes of fans all over the city, it is not enough to rely on two foreign aids, and it is not enough to repay Manchester City's debt of 6000 million pounds. The fans only want to see enough stars to join.

Therefore, Ashley Young, who just won the Champions League and won the league assists leader in England for two consecutive years, became an important chess piece for Thaksin to win people's hearts.

After such an analysis, both Tang En and Allen were firm in their determination to take advantage of Kaizi.

Fifteen million is not enough, bring more!
※ ※ ※

Manchester City made a second offer, and the price mentioned 800 million pounds.

This time, Nottingham Forest seemed to hesitate, and then still refused.The reason is still the same: "...Ashley Young is an important member of the team, and Tony Twain has no intention of selling a player who has contributed to the team..."

During this period, Tang En went to Ashley Yang for an interview.Of course he won't be the team wanting to sell you, he just asked whether the rumors about his transfer that are overwhelming in the media are true.

Because during the period, some media said that Eriksson had contacted Ashley Young's agent. After the former prime minister of Thailand took over Manchester City, Manchester City also had the confidence to offer the players they liked the treatment that the other party liked.

That's why Tang En went to look for Ashley Yang with a straight face.

Of course, Yang denied that his agent had any contact with Manchester City in private. He also said that he liked playing at Nottingham Forest very much and had just won an honor. How could he leave?No matter how high the other party's treatment is, it will not shake his determination to be loyal...

Having said that, both parties bid farewell with "satisfaction".

The next day, Ashley Young's agent found the Forest Club, hoping to give his players a raise.The agent's reason is simple: you see my player has been so popular recently, and there are countless clubs chasing him. Since you all said that he is a meritorious minister of the team, why don't you offer him a higher salary? Some can't justify it?And my players' loyalty to the team is absolutely nothing to say!You can see that under the pursuit of so many clubs, even Manchester City, he is not tempted, so should the team give Ashley Young a higher salary to reward his loyalty?
The person who received the agent was Tang En. With a smile, he affirmed Ashley Young's contribution to the team, and thanked him for still insisting on being loyal to the team despite the "rumors" flying all over the sky.When talking about this aspect, everyone was smiling, and the atmosphere of the meeting was very friendly and harmonious.

But when it came to the topic of money, although Tang En's smile was endless, what he said was not what the manager wanted to hear.

"...Salary... You also know that the club is planning to build a new stadium recently, and the funds are not too abundant..."

This is quite tactful. After his agent repeatedly demanded that his players should be paid a salary commensurate with his contribution, Tang En told him straightforwardly that the club would not discuss Ashley Young's treatment with him now. question.

"Young and the club still have a three-year contract, and we can wait until the last year is left to talk about it."

This is like an order to evict a guest. When the manager heard Tang En say this, he got up and left.

Although everyone was still smiling, both parties knew in their hearts that this was a shameless act.

One day after the agent left, Manchester City made a third offer, and this time it seemed that they were bound to win, because in this offer, Manchester City told the Forest Club that if they did not agree, this would be the final offer, and Manchester City would not agree to it. Shley Young raised his offer again.

Ever since Stuart Pierce retired from the position of Manchester City's head coach, the good relationship between the two clubs has come to an end. Otherwise, Manchester City would never have negotiated business with the Forest team in such a blunt tone.When Pierce was there, the head coaches of both sides only needed to make a phone call to each other, and the problem was solved.

This time, Thaksin seemed to be cruel - 500 million pounds!

Tang En took this fax to look for Alan. The two looked at each other, and then laughed.

That afternoon, Manchester City received a response from the Forest Team: Agreeing to this offer, Manchester City can negotiate a personal contract with Ashley Young.

※ ※ ※

In fact, Ashley Young really didn't want to leave the forest team at first, and what he said to Tang En were all the truth.But he hopes to use the recent hype in the media to get a higher salary for himself in the team. Manchester City's bum is very suitable for a supporting role.

However, Ashley Yang and his agent did not expect that the head coach Tony Twain, who has always valued him highly on the football field, planned to sell him a season ago...

Tang En followed suit and let Ashley Yang leave on his own.

Ashley Young is not a foolish and loyal person. Since he can't get a higher salary in the Forest team, it's okay to switch to a club that can offer a higher salary when he wins a championship and his net worth soars. not good.Professional players, training hard, trying to express themselves on the court, winning the championship, and suffering from injuries for what?Is it really to take the gold medal home and put it in the cabinet to watch?Really for those glory?Not for money, who would choose to play football as a lifelong career?
Tang En deeply understood this, so he did not hinder Ashley Yang from pursuing the happiness he wanted...

The second heavyweight transfer of the Forest team in the new season has been finalized, and it is also the most eye-catching transfer so far.

If Arteta's departure is just a substitute player who can't play the game and wants to pursue a team that can make him the main player.Then Ashley Yang's departure made many people find it difficult to understand.Judging from the field, the importance of Ashley Young to the Forest team is self-evident. If the Forest team can win the Champions League, Ashley Young's performance is also very important.

Is it really like some media said, this is to make room for Beckham?Because Beckham's sponsors have put a lot of pressure on Forest?If this is the case, wouldn't it indirectly create a lot of enemies in the Forest team's locker room for Beckham?Twain has always said that he doesn't look at fame when choosing his main players, but only on ability and status. If Ashley Young is really sold to give Beckham the main position, then...the media have all expressed their dislike for David Beckham Tom's prospects in the Forest team dressing room.

Their reasons seem to be sufficient: Beckham is a star who has been famous for a long time, but he is an outsider in the Forest team after all, how can he get along with the people in the Forest team's locker room?Moreover, it is hard to guarantee that no one will be jealous of everything Beckham has obtained, and thus be biased... There are not a few such people in football. Will there be such people in the forest team locker room?Will Ashley Young's departure make the rest of the Forest team feel sad and insecure?Then there is some "same hatred"?

So... With the arrival of this world-class superstar, the atmosphere has always been harmonious, and there has never been any negative news in the forest team's locker room. Will this cause any waves?

Readers who like gossip, please look forward to it!Our English tabloids solemnly promise in the name of the paparazzi that they will dig deep into the inside story and find out the truth, so that the mysterious virgin land of the dressing room of Nottingham Forest will be disturbed from now on!
