Chapter 279 Do Your Own Thing

Nick actually didn't need this rest, he wasn't tired, and his body wasn't hurt, but Carl asked him to rest, so let's rest.

In addition to accompanying Diane Kruger and Yang Jiaojiao to shop for baby items every day, Nick accompanied Hilton to prepare for the new season's signings.

And this is Nick's own business. If he wants to perform in the Premier League and the UEFA Cup, he must strengthen.Although Nottingham Forest has a clear advantage in League One this season, there is a huge gap between League One and the Premier League. If you want to make a name for yourself, you can't do it without reinforcements.

Fortunately, Nottingham Forest's status as a quasi-Premier League team is enough to attract stars or slightly famous players to join.

The primary goal is to supplement the strong forwards on the front line.

Nottingham Forest will get Miroslav Klose in the new season after instructing Hilton to bid 400 million euros to Bundesliga side Kaiserslautern.

Klose is not well-known now, and he doesn't score many goals, but Nick knows his potential.

Coupled with Kaiserslautern's current lack of money, Nottingham Forest actually paid 9 million euros for Klose, who scored 400 goals in a season, so the deal was quickly concluded, and Klose will officially join Nottingham Forest in July.

With Klose, then the original striker Heywood is of little use. Haywood scored 17 goals in League One, so he has no shortage of buyers.

Of course, there is no room for Li Bing, a Chinese player who is a substitute center forward, and there is definitely no room for Li Bing in the Premier League.

Anyway, Li Bing also scored 9 goals in the League One, and also broke the gate of Manchester United in the League Cup, so he should also be bought.

Hilton quickly released the word, and within two days, the two transactions were completed.

The League One team Crystal Palace bought Haywood for £460 million, and Sheffield United offered to buy Li Bing for £150 million. The two deals combined cost £610 million, and they directly earned back the money they paid for Klose, with some remaining money.

Nick immediately used the spare money to settle the deals of Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba and Bursan Ihmel goalkeeper Petr Cech from the French second team Le Mans.

From Ligue [-] to the Premier League, Drogba is naturally smiling. This kind of transaction is naturally not a loss. Drogba's physical fitness is very good. What he lacks now is the guidance of a good coach and the experience of playing in the top league.

Xu Baogen is a coach who is very good at guiding young players. The outstanding performance of Nottingham Forest's young players this season is inseparable from Xu Baogen.

It is a blessing for Drogba to join Nottingham Forest.

And Cech can immediately land in the Premier League, that is even more happy.Everyone knew about Cech's level later, but because of the issue of labor certification, Cech may still have considerable problems in order to directly log in to the Premier League. It will take another year for his Czech Republic to join the European Union. Moreover, Cech himself has represented the national team in 75% of the matches in the past year, and the special talent clause has not yet been invented.

Maybe you can wait another year for Cech, first take his ownership, and then loan him to a team in the five major leagues to exercise. When the Czech Republic joins the European Union next year, Cech will be able to land in the Premier League immediately.

Premier League labor certification is the chief culprit that hinders talents from joining. Nottingham Forest’s introduction of Chinese players is passable. Fortunately, the ranking of the Chinese national team has just passed the 64th place. Moreover, Ma Ming, Li Bing, and Yao Xia all participated in more than 75% of the Chinese national team’s matches last year. Another player, Zhou Yougen, did not pass.

Drogba, Klose, Robben, Franck Ribery, Jenas, Yao Xia, this attack group is still very powerful, plus Essien, Carvalho, Chiellini, Fletcher, Baines and Ashley Young who is about to turn 16 years old, the basic main force and main substitute framework of this team are formed, plus the team's role players and reserve players, Nottingham Forest will have no problem in the Premier League and UEFA Cup next season.

Of course, it would be even better if some free agents can be found in the summer transfer window.

Such as Keane, such as Guardiola, such as Albertini, such players do not need transfer fees, but their strength is there, and they can definitely help the team.

After being approached by Hilton, Keane was a little moved. The two behind him were both on the sidelines about playing in the Premier League. After all, they are old, and it is still unknown whether they can cope with the high intensity of the Premier League.

Nick simply asked Hilton to deal with Keane directly, and let Keane return to serve as the captain of Nottingham Forest.Keane is born to be the captain, and only a player like Keane can hold back the young talents of Nottingham Forest. Nick believes that as long as Keane comes, Nottingham Forest will definitely gain a firm foothold in the Premier League.And his incomparably rich game experience can bring great help to his teammates.

Only with achievements can we attract more young talents and earn a lot of money.The team is not well-known, so it is definitely not attractive. For example, Hilton failed to contact Ronaldo under Nick's instruction. Ronaldo's favorite is Manchester United, and Nottingham Forest basically has no hope of introducing Ronaldo.

But Nick was thinking in his heart that since Ronaldo can't come, then get Messi from Xichuan 1999, and then make a Premier League version of Ronaldo and Messi confrontation, wouldn't it be very cool?
Wait a few more years, and when Messi turns 16, let him play in the Premier League. Originally, he wanted Messi to go to La Masia, but now it seems that let him come to the youth training base of Nottingham Forest.

Imagination is beautiful, but I don’t know how reality will develop. Nick wants to build a football money empire for himself, and this goal is still far away.

After two weeks in the UK, Nick returned to Borussia Mönchengladbach. The team participated in two Bundesliga matches and two UEFA Champions League group matches in the past two weeks. The result was three draws and one loss. Two consecutive draws in the league kept the undefeated golden body, but the UEFA Champions League lost to Barcelona at home and was criticized by the media a lot.

Juventus criticized Borussia Mönchengladbach for lack of fair play spirit, because the direct victim of this game was Juventus, who failed to win Paris Saint-Germain.

This led to their 0:0 draw with Barcelona in the last round and they were eliminated.

At this point, the two clubs are at odds.

But it's weird to blame yourself too. What reason does Borussia Mönchengladbach have to fight Barcelona?As long as you Juventus can win Paris Saint-Germain and beat Barcelona away, won't that qualify?

So being yourself is the most important thing.

Two weeks later, Borussia Mönchengladbach's main force coefficient returned. The quarter-finals of the German Cup in the middle of the week will be the first contest after the return of the main players. The opponent is the Frankfurt team.

Of course, this game still failed to stop Borussia Mönchengladbach. Although it was an away game, Borussia Mönchengladbach, who returned as the main force, did not leave any chance for Frankfurt throughout the game.

Illie scored a goal in each half, and Borussia Mönchengladbach won the away game with 2 goals and advanced to the semi-finals.

The time has entered May, which is the most critical time of the year. However, compared to other teams struggling, Borussia Mönchengladbach is much more relaxed. The remaining three league games are going through the motions, and the main players will not waste their energy on the field.

Only the knockout rounds after the quarter-finals of the Champions League and the final at the San Siro Stadium are their battlefields.

There are still 5 games left before reaching the top of the Champions League.

The first thing to solve is the La Liga team Deportivo.
