Chapter 218 Volume 3 Red Forest Ready (Part 2) (The Last Two Days, Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

Tang En, who has lost Alan Smith, can only wish this spirited striker known as the successor of Mark Hughes good luck. If the final result still cannot escape the arrangement of fate, then he can only sigh helplessly. .

Apart from Smith, the second person Tang En had his eyes on was his strike partner at Leeds United - Mark Viduka. Tang En was very impressed with this name. When he was still studying in China, he had heard the name of this Australian. At that time, it should be the most beautiful time for Leeds United's Young Guards, and the whole world knew it. Except for two talented players in Australia, one is Harry Kewell and the other is Mark Viduka.

At that time, Dunn still remembered that a domestic football magazine described Viduka as an "Australian bull" because he was very strong. As a result, Twain had always felt that Viduka was a traditional British center who relied on his body for food, had rough skills at his feet, and could only head the ball.

Only later did he realize that he was wrong. Viduka's strong body is certainly his advantage, but at the same time he is also a very comprehensive shooter, and his skills are far less rough than he thought.

Among the forest team's strikers, the three forwards have a common characteristic. They are too young and they lack experience in the European arena. And Viduka has exactly such experience. At the beginning, his Leeds United team eliminated AC Milan.

No matter how you look at it, Viduka is currently the most suitable striker for the Forest team. Tang En, who made up his mind, offered Leeds United 4.5 million pounds to buy Viduka. Forest responded quickly, with Leeds rejecting the offer.

Because there are many teams pursuing Viduka at the same time, such as Middlesbrough, which is the closest to the Australians, and they also offer 4.5 million pounds. Leeds United is very optimistic about this new buyer, because Forest is this The most active team in the transfer market in the summer, they thought that 4.5 million was too little for the Forest team.

This was an obvious rip-off, but Twain was happy to let Leeds United rip off. It's not that he wants Leeds United to make more money and get out of the economic crisis as soon as possible, he is not that kind. The reason he was so generous was because the club's financial situation was good. Allen also hoped that Twain could complete a "big deal". Leeds United felt that 4.5 million was not enough, and Allen also felt that it was not enough.

So the Forest team made the second offer, and Twain directly raised Viduka's value by 1.5 million pounds, asking for 6 million pounds for Viduka.

This price is beyond the psychological capacity of other suitors, and even Middlesbrough, who was bound to win, hesitated. Middlesbrough was very angry about Nottingham Forest's practice of inserting a stick at the end of other people's negotiations every time. Last season, they allowed Tang En to qualify for the UEFA Cup, and now they even want to grab the players they like... Really, really... Helpless!

No matter how angry, Middlesbrough has nothing to do. Compared with Nottingham Forest, which has just received capital injection and promoted to the Super League, Middlesbrough is actually very poor. Their annual transfer budget is pitifully small. Why can't they only wait for players to get discounts before buying them? ?

There is a team that can participate in European competitions that wants to introduce itself, and the Australians will naturally not refuse, Middlesbrough or Nottingham Forest, which one to choose is almost a matter of hesitation. After Viduka learned that the Forest team raised their offer for the second time, he immediately notified his agent to terminate the negotiations with Middlesbrough on his personal contract, and waited for Leeds United to reply to Nottingham Forest - he believed that the team was in financial crisis. The club, likewise, will not refuse this good opportunity, and if they can sell him without losing a penny, Leeds United has already made a profit: Four years ago, Viduka transferred from the Scottish Premiership team Celtic to Leeds United At the time, the latter spent six million pounds.

As he expected, facing such an offer, Leeds United had no reason to refuse. They agreed to allow the Forest team and Viduka to negotiate personal treatment. Things have progressed to this point, and it has been very smooth. Three days later, Nottingham Forest's official website updated their transfer news again. The Australian international and famous striker Mark Viduka appeared in the latest transfer list.

For the joining of Viduka, the fans cheered, because in the past four seasons, Viduka has fully proved himself in the Premier League. Everyone believes that his coming to the Forest team can improve the attack power of the Forest team, and at the same time, it can also provide valuable experience to the young Forest team striker.

Allen is also very satisfied with the deal. Viduka's popularity in Australia is comparable to Kewell's. His long-term experience in the Premier League has given him considerable influence in the UK. Such a powerful striker is obviously much better at doing business than Bendtner and Piqué, and the results are faster.

The excited marketing manager even thought about the cover of the team magazine, so he used photos of Viduka, Hierro, Albertini, and Eastwood. The first three were all newly joined the team in the summer. A player with high prestige, Eastwood's selection is a necessary means to please the fans-the Gypsy was the "most popular player" selected by Forest fans last season.

After buying Viduka, Twain told Evan and Allen that he no longer needed to buy anyone in the transfer market, except for those who were determined to leave the team and were not in his plan. The team's lineup has basically been fixed. If you find any problems in the league, you can make adjustments when the winter transfer window opens.

Nottingham Forest, which has just been promoted to the Premier League, burned 12.42 million pounds in less than two months. Tang En didn't think it was too much money. He felt that every penny was spent where it should be spent. The strength of the team has changed drastically from what it was half a year ago.

After deciding to stop the transfer activities, Tang En gathered the players he bought this summer and held a press conference and fan meeting ceremony.

He stands in the center, with former Spain captain Fernando Hierro on his left, Barcelona youth team main centre-back Gerard Piqué, Frenchman Pascal Chimbonda, and Birmingham defender Mathieu Eyre. Pusen. On his right are former Italian international Demetrio Albertini, teenager Aaron Lennon, Danish rising star Niklas Bendtner, unknown French player Franck Ribery, and the last Australian striker Mark Viduka joined the team.

Among these people, there are experienced veterans who have won countless championships, there are powerful stars who are in their prime, and there are young people who represent the future and hope.

Surrounded by these people, facing the cameras raised by the reporters, under the constantly flashing spotlight, Tang En grinned happily.

This is his team, bought exactly as he thinks. With these people, he can look forward to more, not just relegation, the Forest team's goal is even bigger than you imagined!
