Chapter 733 Volume [-] Crimson Cleansing List
In fact, what happened to Chen Jian did not cause any sensation, not even a ripple.A week later, when people from Nottingham Forest Club came to help Chen Jian complete all the formalities, he left Tianjin Judicial Police Academy under the envious eyes of his classmates and embarked on his dream journey to Nottingham.

No domestic media reported this matter, because Nottingham Forest Club was very low-key when doing these things, and no media reported it.Alan Adams really wanted to make a big splash in China, so that the club could further open up the Chinese market.But Tang En dissuaded him, saying that it would not be too late to publicize when Chen Jian really became a talent.Although China has a huge market, this market will not be opened up because of a young player who currently has no future at all.

In fact, Tang En didn't want to put any more burden on Chen Jian's shoulders.The pressure on him is big enough and heavy enough.

When he arrived in Nottingham, there was no special treatment except for a small family welcome dinner prepared by the landlord Fatty John for his return.He still lives in John's house, and every week he takes time to go to the University of Nottingham to take cultural classes, just like other young players in the youth team.Tang En only met him once when he first arrived in Nottingham, and after reiterating the reality that he had no way out, he went to work on the affairs of the first team.Tang didn't say much, just hoped that he would persevere.There was no press conference, no welcome and farewell crowd, no reporters chasing after him... everything indicated that he was just an apprentice.

Greenwood made a little joke: "Chen, have you come back from China with the ball!"

"Yes, Coach Greenwood." Chen Jian replied proudly.

Business as usual.

At this time, Chen Jian is no longer the boy who came here more than a year ago and was still full of expectations and longings. He understands the cruelty of reality and the distance between his dream and himself.Instead of fantasizing about how beautiful you will be when your dreams come true all day long, it's better to train hard on the ground and don't think about whether your dreams will come true.He firmly believes that as long as he works so hard every day and perseveres, one day he will dig that mountain and open the way from reality to dream.No matter how long it takes, no matter how much it costs, even if it is blood, he will continue to dig forward!

※ ※ ※

The matter of recruiting Chen Jian as an apprentice was settled in this way, but for Chen Jian, his story has just begun.If Tang En wanted to see the third, fourth, and even the ending of the dream log, he might have to wait for a long time.But he is not in a hurry, he is patient, he waits slowly, and he will accompany this stubborn boy to the end.

Now he must turn his focus to the first team.

Interspersed with Chen Jian's story of chasing his dreams, Nottingham Forest has already played another league game.

On May 30th, in the sixth round of No.[-] in the league, Nottingham Forest challenged West Bromwich Albion away.Although Tang En has officially joined the team's daily management work, this game is still directed by Tang from the sidelines.Dunn sat in the box and watched the match.

Perhaps because they knew that the real boss was watching them from the stands, the Nottingham Forest players were all desperate.Won West Bromwich Albion 3:0 in the away game, kicking the opponent back to the British Championship two rounds ahead of schedule.

During the game, the TV broadcast shot repeatedly caught Tony Twain sitting in the box, and the commentator mentioned more than once that today's Forest team is completely different from the Forest team in the last round of the league. The reason is very simple - their The king is coming back.

Nottingham Forest, which won this game, has 52 points, and its ranking has risen by two places, ranking tenth.At the end of the season with two rounds left, they are still seven points away from No.6 Aston Villa, and they are already doomed to fail to qualify for the UEFA Cup next season.

Can the season stop here and announce the end in advance?

Tang En didn't see it that way.

Returning to the tactics class in Nottingham, Tang En told his players: "...This is a great opportunity. You have the opportunity to use your actual actions to prove that you are still a man, and you still have balls! Even if Ben The season is nothing, and we have to end the season with three consecutive victories, which is the smallest compensation for our previous poor results! Let those home fans take comfort in the last round! Tell them, even if we have nothing this season We didn’t get it, but we haven’t collapsed yet! Tell those opponents who are waiting to see our jokes that Nottingham Forest will make a comeback in the new season, and no one can stop it! And the new season will officially start from this game!”

On May 30th, in the seventh round of No.[-] in the league, Nottingham Forest challenged Stoke City away.

Before this match, Nottingham Forest's official website officially announced that their "king" Tony Twain had returned to the team.Tang handed over the command, and Tang En personally sat on the coach's bench to direct the game.Under his command, the team once again defeated Stoke City with a clean 3:0.

After the game, BBC TV’s sports news said this about the game——

"Other managers in the Premier League beware, the guy is back!"

Before the final round of the league, the competition for the league championship has gradually become clear.Arsenal must pay a price for winning the world with a young lineup. Their ranking is very stable in fourth place. There is no danger of losing, but they cannot make further progress.After Chelsea's glorious first half of the league, they are also slowly falling behind, ranking third.

Instead, the two teams competing for the league championship are Liverpool, which was previously considered not to play in the league, and Manchester United, which is sophisticated.

The two teams have the same points, but Manchester United temporarily ranks second with a goal difference disadvantage.If they want to win the championship, they must win Hull City by at least three goals in the last game, and pray that Liverpool will not win by a big score.In terms of opponents, Manchester United has a slight advantage. Hull City ranks in the middle and has no desires.And Liverpool's opponent Tottenham have to fight for relegation.

This form reminds people of the last round of the championship battle last season. Manchester United became one of the protagonists for two consecutive seasons, but their opponents changed.Nottingham Forest, who beat Manchester United to the throne at Old Trafford last season, ranked mid-range this season and are doomed to get nothing, which is really embarrassing.

Tang En didn't have time to worry about how others lamented his team.Although Nottingham Forest has no specific goals so far, he is equally busy.

The team's training is all handed over to the coaching staff led by Don and Chris Lack. He is busy talking to individual players to understand their thoughts and determine the final candidate on the purge list.

The first person he looked for was Captain George Wood.

Because when he has not returned to the team, rumors about this person's transfer have been flying all over the sky. Many clubs are willing to be a blue-collar player who is rare in world football, does not ask for high wages, and does not get emotional. Defensive players interested - AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Schalke 04, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal...

They are all wealthy clubs, and any one of them is a fatal temptation.

But Wood's agent, Billy Wooks, remained silent.

Just after Nottingham Forest officially announced Twain's official return, Billy Wooks immediately announced that his player never thought of leaving Nottingham Forest. It was Nottingham Forest who trained him and gave him what he is today. He is willing to Stay at Nottingham Forest unless the club evicts him.

Tang En wasn't sure what the old man's plan was, so he went straight to George Wood.I want to hear the players' own thoughts.

"Wooks is telling the truth." Wood answered him, "I never thought about leaving. Even if he wanted me to leave, I would not leave. Don't I have to sign the contract at the end? "

Wood's words reassured Tang En.He is already mentally prepared to face the transfer storm after the summer.But George Wood absolutely must not leave, because he is the true core of this team, and if the Forest team is to regain its glory, this person is indispensable.

Not only that, George Wood also said something that moved Tang En greatly: "I know what the team's economic situation is like. If it really doesn't work, I'm willing to re-sign a contract with the club and lower the current salary. And some bonuses. Anyway, I think more money is enough, Mr. Wooks has made me a lot of money in other places, and I don't know how to use it..."

Tang En almost didn't laugh, this silly boy, does anyone still think he has too much money?

"You say that, Wu Kesi will be furious. Your income also directly affects his income."

Wood's expression remained unchanged, and he still said with a dull face: "He has a lot of money and doesn't need me to help him make money. If he doesn't agree, I will fire him."

This time Tang En finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.This kid still has his heart on him... He is happy.

"You don't need to cut your salary, George. You just play football with peace of mind and keep the team together for me. Just set an example on the court. It's not your turn to think about economic matters."

After seeing off George Wood, Tang En was half relieved.He started chatting non-stop one by one.Under the guise of "I haven't seen you for five months, let's deepen our relationship and communicate with each other", observe and consider who can give up, who needs to pay a suitable price to let them leave, and who is They can't be let go at all, and who else is he unwilling to let go but the other party may be determined to leave...

Ruud van Nistelrooy had surgery and is still recovering from his injuries.If he recovers from injury, Tang En will give him a minimum one-year contract no matter what.He just doesn't want to chill the veteran who helped him rise.If he hadn't had a heart attack, he might have urged the club to give the Dutchman a new contract in the first half of this year, when Van Nistelrooy was still undergoing surgery.

Although his body is getting worse than before, Van Nistelrooy's experience and role in the locker room are still very obvious.

Needless to say, Eastwood will definitely stay.The gypsy himself did not think of leaving here.

Arshavin...may or may not leave.He himself didn't have a particularly strong will. If Tang En wanted him to stay, then nine out of ten he would stay.Because Barcelona, ​​where he wants to go most, obviously doesn't need him now.

Zigic's performance in the Forest team this season is very average, with occasional flashes, but for Bendtner's successor, Ruud van Nistelrooy's number one center when he was injured, Moments like this are so rare.He was even once named the biggest "parallel import" signing of the season by the British media.But Tang En didn't intend to let him go, because Tang En knew that Zikic's poor performance was not his problem, but the problem of the team as a whole.He also wanted to give Zikic a chance to prove himself again, and he was unwilling to easily admit his failure out of selfishness. Tang En would not sell Zikic.What's more, selling Zikic at this time can only be a loss-making business, and only a fool can do it.

Van der Vaart's situation is somewhat special.It's not just a winger that Real Madrid's midfield is in urgent need of.There is also a lack of people in the middle.Van der Vaart has already proved his talent and ability at Nottingham Forest.Real Madrid intends to recruit it.Van der Vaart himself also hopes to play in Spain, whether it is Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​he doesn't care.If you want to keep him, the Forest team may have to pay a big price.Alan Adams tended to make a quick move while the price was still high, but Twain still hesitated.Shaheen's performance is getting better, but he can't play alone. He needs Van der Vaart to sit in the middle to organize the attack.

Next to Van der Vaart's name, Dunn put a question mark.He himself doesn't know whether the Dutchman will be in his roster when the next season comes.

Shaheen naturally wants to stay in the team, and he himself will not leave.

Beckham will definitely leave the team.After the two-year contract expires, according to the original agreement, Twain will not try to persuade him to stay.He is going to the United States to accompany his wife and join the Los Angeles Galaxy of the major league.Tang En and he both knew, so they didn't say anything to each other.

Alan Lennon would not leave either, and Tang En would not let him go, and he himself had no intention of leaving.After Beckham is gone, no surprises, he will be the main player on the right side of the field. The forest team will definitely not have the financial resources to buy a large number of players for rotation in the new season, and they don't need to rotate, because there are not many at all. Contest.

And he also has Martin. Petrov.Franck Ribery has been on his head for the past few years, and now Franck Ribery is gone.He is also at the top of his game.But Tang En did not rule out the possibility of buying Petrov to cash out.Because in his eyes, Petrov's status is not high, at least not comparable to Lennon, a promising young man.If a club offers a suitable price, he may consider letting them go, and then buy those younger wing players from the transfer market who don't need to spend too much money.

Thiago Mendes Twain will not let go either. On the one hand, he is an all-rounder in the middle, who can play a defensive midfielder or an organizational midfielder.Compared with Van der Vaart, he is better defensively, and compared to George Wood, he is slightly better offensively. Although he is not top-notch in any aspect, the team needs this kind of balanced player now.

Chris Commons Tang En will not let them go, although he is very popular in the lower leagues.But Twain had to prepare for the "4+7", "5+6" and "6+5" in the future. This kind of local players, and the players trained by his own youth training system, were extremely important.There are opportunities to play in the League Cup and the FA Cup, and some insignificant league games can also be played. It can also help the team successfully pass the Champions League qualification registration.

Same as him is Wes Morgan.As the team's third captain, Tang En would not let Morgan leave.

After Robert Ayala's contract expired, he would not renew his contract with the club. He wanted to return to Argentina, and Twain had no intention of keeping him.Anyway, Ayala is no longer in his plan, and if he continues to stay, there will be one more person's salary expenses.

Because of his outstanding performance in the Forest team, Rafinha has attracted the attention of some teams, and may face offers from multiple clubs in the summer.At that time, Dunn needs to carefully consider whether to reject all of them in one go, or to accept some offers selectively.But if the money is changed, there will be a vacancy on the right back, and he will continue to have a headache to find the right back.

Chimbonda... As he gets older, there are fewer and fewer teams interested in him. It is foreseeable that there will be almost no offers that satisfy Dunn this summer. Chimbonda stayed on for at least one more season.

I didn't expect... At the beginning, he and Bendtner fought.Tang En wanted to drive away Zimbunda and keep Bendtner.The last one to leave was Bendtner, who Tang En didn't want to let go, and Zimbunda, who he didn't want to stay behind.It's true that the person who should come has not come, and the person who should have left has not left...

Sun Jihai hopes to stay at Nottingham Forest until he retires.His thinking is not difficult to understand-his career has entered the twilight, there is nothing else to ask for, what luxury does he have to play in a team that has won the European Champions Cup for two consecutive seasons until he retires?The scenery is also beautiful, and the money is almost earned.Anyway, if the forest team doesn't want him, he will never go back to China.Tang En is now hesitating whether to wash Sun Jihai or not.Because his contribution to the team is getting less and less, but Sun Jihai is no longer popular in the Premier League. If there is a team that wants to buy him, it can only be a team at the British Championship level. How much money can they pay?
Leighton Barnes also has some middle and lower reaches of the team interested in him.But Dunn would not sell it.This player is one of the guarantees for the stability of the team's defense. He is not as good as Bell in offense, but he has always done very well in defense.After letting go of such a stable player, where would Twain go to find a second one?

Gareth Bale, Vicente Kompany, and Pepe have all received a lot of transfer invitations.But Tang En didn't let anyone go.There is no room for improvement, these three people are treated the same as George Wood and Eastwood—not for sale.

Woodgate has only been with the team for a year, he doesn't want to leave, and Twain is happy to see the success.

Van der Sar plans to retire from the Forest team, but next season he will give up his position as the main goalkeeper. Starting from the warm-up match, Dunn will intentionally restore Akinfeev.After being bought by the Forest team for two seasons, he is finally going to become the team's main goalkeeper.

Dale Roberts will also be the team's third goalkeeper.But if he wanted to leave, and there was a team that wanted him, Twain would let him go, and then he would draw a goalkeeper from the youth team and the reserve team.

After scanning it like this, Tang En found that the so-called big cleansing actually did not lack a few people... He still couldn't bear to part with these fellows who had worked hard with him for many years...

Everyone enjoys the scenery together, everyone drinks with a big bowl and eats meat with a big piece, and everyone travels freely and joyfully together.Why do we have to fly separately when disaster is imminent?

If there is a team that puts Bell, Pepe, and Kompany at a high price of tens of millions, can I still resist keeping them?Will those loyalists who are not willing to leave this team be forced to leave because they have to pay the bill for the club's poor management?
He doesn't want his team to become the original Lazio, and he doesn't want his players to become the second, third, fourth... "Nesta".

They are the seeds of Nottingham Forest's resurgence, and he wants to keep them no matter what!
