Chapter 1019 Volume 8: I'm Going to the Forest

"...You must know that he is only 28 years old now, which is the time when he should have a lot of achievements...I hope he can go to a team that can stably participate in European competitions every year, whether it is the Champions League or the European League... ...Ajian himself thought so too."

As Chen Jian's manager, Xia Yang told Tang En a message through these words: If you want Chen Jian to transfer to Nottingham Forest, please get the qualification to participate in European competitions.

He was playing the idea of ​​letting Chen Jian transfer in the summer, because at that time the time was more leisurely, and there would be more teams interested in Chen Jian in the transfer market. Chen Jian seeks the best interests.

He obviously didn't know that Twain actually only stayed with the Forest team for half a season, and that he would leave the position of head coach after this season was over, and it would be useless to bring in Chen Jian at that time. The team now needs to replenish its strength and add fresh blood. Chen Jian is a qualified and reliable midfielder who can partner with Wood in the middle of the midfield. At the same time, he is also a panacea in the midfield. How rare is a player who can cope with different situations...

Twain will not wait until the summer transfer period to discuss Chen Jian's transfer with the Spaniard. He will get Chen Jian this winter.

"I'm going to see Chen Jian wearing Nottingham Forest's red jersey this season, Mr. Xia."

"This season?" Xia Yang was taken aback. He really didn't expect it, and then his mind started to spin... Since the forest team is so urgent, can he take the opportunity to make a fortune? For example, dragging on and on, forcing the Forest team to pay a higher kickback...

Tang En seemed to see the wishful thinking Xia Yang had in mind at this time. "Let's be honest, Mr. Xia. Chen Jian is the player I need. If you can help me put pressure on the Espanyol club to lower the transfer fee, I will give you the extra part as a kickback. "

Tang En didn't mind letting his agent make more money. Anyway, he didn't pay for Chen Jian, and he didn't give the kickback. Such generosity of others, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, why not do it?

Xia Yang didn't expect that Tang En would bluntly say what was on his mind, so he looked at Tang En with a little embarrassment and smiled.

Since the other party has already made such a big promise, logically speaking, what else should he care about? Naturally, he agreed. But Xia Yang is very cunning, and he doesn't seem to give an answer right away. Who knows if there will be a big fish more attractive than Nottingham Forest in the future?

He just said that he was absolutely incapable of making such a decision by himself, and he needed to go back and consult Chen Jian's opinion, and discuss with him before he could give Tang En an answer.

This is common sense, Tang En did not express any objection.

"I will stay here for a few more days, Mr. Xia Yang. I hope I can gain something when I leave Spain."

Before leaving, Tang En shook hands with Xia Yang to bid farewell, and he still reminded him gently not to delay.

After Xia Yang got into the car, he looked down at his right hand, which had just been held together with Tang En's. The old man was still a little arrogant, but after all, he was holding hands with him. A world-class marshal also has a day to ask for himself! Ah ha ha! Xia Yang, Xia Yang, you are a character now! Hmm... Shall I put on airs again and drag it on for a while?

※ ※ ※

When Xia Yang was playing scheming with Tang En in the open-air cafe by the sea, Chen Jian was training in the Spaniard's training base. In order to prepare for the next round of the Barcelona derby, the team has long left other things behind.

For a team like the Spaniard, the league title and cup title are basically hopeless. The goal of each season is basically a crit. If the strength is stronger and the luck is better, they will start to look forward to Europe. race. But there is one thing that will not change no matter what season it is, no matter how strong they are or how lucky they are, that is the hatred for their rivals in the same city, Barcelona.

As long as they are still in the first division, the two most important games of each season must be the Barcelona derby.

Chen Jian has played for this team for more than three seasons and stayed in this city for three years, and he has long been used to this kind of derby atmosphere. And for him, he still looks forward to such a game. Playing in the Espanyol team, in fact, it is rare to participate in high-level competitions. The Barcelona derby twice a year is regarded as the Champions League final.

Chen Jian doesn't hate Barcelona, ​​but as a player of the Espanyol team, he will hate Barcelona when he faces Barcelona. He was able to win the favor of the Espanyol fans so much, thanks to his fierce flying shovel in the Barcelona derby, which knocked Messi to the ground, and then confronted Alves tit for tat, head to head, and almost hit him stand up. Since then, Espanyol fans have truly accepted him.

In fact, Chen Jian is not such a violent person, but in such a fanatical atmosphere, the blood in the chest of a professional player and a man is also boiling, and it is normal to do any rough behavior...

Chen Jian is the protagonist on the training ground today, because there is a media from China filming on the sidelines. They are the setting team of China National Television, and they are here to make Chen Jian's Barcelona Derby feature film. The club is also very kind, allowing them to shoot some training shots on the sidelines of the training ground. This is a good opportunity to promote the image of the club to distant Chinese fans, how could they disagree?

After the training, the other players can go to the locker room to shower and change. Chen Jian can't do it, so he has to accept a few interviews from the Chinese media on the sidelines of the training ground, talk about the training situation, and talk about the Barcelona derby this weekend.

At the same time, many fans came up to him for autographs.

When not interviewing, the reporter from the TV station joked: "Okay, there are quite a lot of fans."

Chen Jian smiled a little shyly, and continued to sign autographs for enthusiastic Espanyol fans. He carefully wrote the Chinese characters of "Chen Jian" on his star posters and postcards, and then handed them to fans. There are also some enthusiastic fans who will take photos with Chen Jian after getting the autographs, and he is also satisfied.

It looks like a celebrity.

This scene, when he first entered the Nottingham Forest youth team, was beyond his imagination.

After the interview was over, Chen Jian returned to the locker room, and his teammates had almost left. He showered, changed, and walked to the parking lot, where his white Audi was quietly waiting for him.

Now he lives in an independent apartment and owns a famous car, but the unknown pawn who hung out in the low-level league before is completely different.

Who brought all this?

Is the manager Mr. Xia Yang?

Thinking of this, the phone in his pocket rang, and it was Xia Yang who called.

"Ah Jian, have you finished your training?" Xia Yang called Chen Jian while driving.

"Yes, it's over. Uncle Xia."

"Did the group of reporters leave too?"

"They're gone."

"Hmm... I've already met Tang En. The details can't be explained over the phone. We can talk about it after we meet."

"Okay, I'll go home and wait for you first."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jian got into the car, put on his seat belt, and prepared to leave.

Holding the steering wheel of the Audi car, he skillfully backed out of the parking lot and drove towards the gate of the training base. Let’s continue with the question just now: Who brought all this?

In Chen Jian's mind, it was the British man who called him "Foolish Old Man".

※ ※ ※

"...that's exactly how it is." Mr. Xia told Chen Jian everything he and Tang En had to talk about when they met. At the end, he expressed his opinion: "It's really strange. He turned a blind eye to you at the beginning and didn't give you a chance in the forest team, but now he wants you to go back. The current situation of the forest team is not good. Can you Relegation is hard to say, let me tell you Jian, if I were you, I would rather stay in Espanyol than go to the forest team. At least I don’t have to worry about playing in the second division next season here.”

After listening to Xia Yang's words, Chen Jian was silent for a while before saying, "It's not that he never gave me a chance, it's just that I can't accept his conditions..."

He was referring to Tang En asking him to give up his Chinese nationality and join the British nationality, so that he could represent the forest team. Of course, he can't agree to such a request. He hasn't thought about not being Chinese because of playing football.

And even now Chen Jian still remembers the call Tang En called him at the airport, telling him that since his dream is to play professional football, where should he play?

It was this sentence that changed his future, leading to No. 10 Chen Jian who is now doing well in the Spaniard.

"He wants to get you during this winter transfer period, I don't think it's appropriate. The time is too tight, I can't fight for more rights for you, and it's hard to say what the future of the Forest team will be like now. I I suggest you wait for another half season, and after this season is over, look at the results of the Forest team before making a decision. And at that time, more clubs will be interested in you..."

But Chen Jian shook his head.

As soon as he saw him shaking his head, Xia Yang knew something was wrong.

"Uncle Xia, actually after I received a call from Mr. Tang En, I made up my mind..." He looked at the manager in front of him, "I'm going to Nottingham Forest, and it's this winter."

"You're crazy!" Xia Yang jumped up from the sofa.

"I'm not crazy."

"If it was four or five years ago, I would have sharpened my head and let you join the Forest team. But it is different now, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes! Today's Nottingham Forest is not as good as the Spaniards! You two Eighteen years old, A Jian. The golden age of professional players is not a few years away. I hope to take this opportunity to let you go to a better team, have a bigger stage, and play better. This is basically your This is the last chance to choose. After you turn 30, it will be very difficult for you to get the favor of those big teams again!"

The more Xia Yang talked, the more excited he became. Standing in front of Chen Jian, he bent down and bared his teeth and claws at him, spitting and spitting. Can he not be excited? After finally waiting for Chen Jian to gain some fame, he also has the capital to bargain with other European clubs. How could Tang En take away the fruits of victory so easily?

no! Absolutely not!

After the excited Xia Yang finished spraying, Chen Jian still said in a very calm tone: "I will not go anywhere except Nottingham Forest, Uncle Xia."

Xia Yang felt very discouraged. He said so many things and analyzed so many reasons, but this kid didn't listen to a word!

He stared at Chen Jian for a while, and Chen Jian also looked at him.

Xia Yang then sat down on the sofa again and asked, "Why?"

"Do you still remember my original dream, Uncle Xia?" Chen Jian didn't answer right away, but asked rhetorically.

Xia Yang was silent for a while, he was thinking about this question. Then he remembered: "Really playing professional football. You've already achieved it by now."

"Yeah, it came true. But..." Chen Jian laughed: "The full version should be playing real professional football at Nottingham Forest."

"Damn..." Xia Yang covered his head. "Is there any fourth anniversary platinum commemorative edition, global limited edition?"

"It's gone." Chen Jian spread his hands. "I'm going now to realize my original dream. To go back to Nottingham Forest."

"I can't understand." From the manager's point of view, Xia Yang really couldn't understand that Chen Jian would make such a decision.

"Because Nottingham Forest gave me the opportunity to come to Europe in the first place."

"grateful?"

"No, it's feelings... I have a sense of belonging, I belong to Nottingham Forest. Anyway, I can be regarded as trained in the Nottingham Forest youth training camp, Uncle Xia." Chen Jian raised his head slightly, looked at the ceiling, and fell into a memories.

Those few years in the Nottingham Forest youth training camp; Coach Tang’s concern and Coach Greenwood’s strict requirements; it seemed unreasonable but he called himself and asked himself if he wanted to bet on Tony Tang, who came to Nottingham to dig mountains in the future En coach...

For him, Nottingham Forest is probably not as simple as a European team.

"Do you know which team I was a fan of when I was a fan, Uncle Xia?"

"Nottingham Forest?" Knowing that it was impossible, Xia Yang joked.

"No, Barcelona."

"Ha!" Xia Yang couldn't help laughing. He thought of the Barcelona derby to be held on the weekend, and Chen Jian's explosive performance in the previous derbies...

"But the love for Barcelona is pure appreciation. It's not the same feeling for Nottingham Forest, I want to play for her, I want to be one of them, and that's when I went to try out there as the third in the commercial draft. I had thoughts from time to time.”

Xia Yang pouted, disapproving of Chen Jian's feelings. Professional players talk about feelings? Now less and less people believe it.

"There is another reason, Uncle Xia."

"What?"

"I have always had a regret that I couldn't realize it, and now I have a chance - I always wanted to play under Coach Tang or Coach Tang En."

Tony Twain!

Xia Yang thought of that man.

"Are you really sure? I think you want to play under him now, just because you have a distance from him, away from the beauty. Once you become his player, it may not be good."

Chen Jian smiled without saying a word.

"I think you should think about it seriously, Jian..." Xia Yang was still working hard.

"No need, Uncle Xia." Chen Jian said with a smile, "Derby is the weekend, I don't have the energy to think about those things. So I make a decision now, transfer to Nottingham Forest during the winter break, you go and talk to the club Bar."

Xia Yang was unhappy because he felt a little jealous. He had been by Chen Jian's side for many years, and he could be regarded as the closest person besides his parents. He hadn't been in contact with Tony Tang Engao a few times.

But what if you are not happy? If an agent encounters a player who is weak and has no opinion, he can naturally control him firmly. But Chen Jian is definitely not the kind of weak and independent person.

Annoyed, it's not a big deal for him to change his agent... You must know that not only in China, but also in foreign countries, there are many agents who want to replace him.

In the end Xia Yang had no choice but to bow his head and admit defeat under the joint efforts of Tang En and Chen Jian: "Okay, A Jian... I hope you won't regret today's decision in the future!"

Seeing that he was not reconciled, Chen Jian added: "After I succeed, I will also give you my share of the signing fee, Uncle Xia."

Xia Yang didn't expect Chen Jian to have such determination. He froze for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: "You really...disdain all costs."

"That was my first dream. Compared to that, what is money?"

Xia Yang was speechless when Chen Jian asked back with one sentence.
