Chapter 477: Volume 4: Storm, King of the Small Restricted Area

"The latest news, Dutch veteran van Nistelrooy has added a new chaser. Manchester United announced Nottingham Forest's interest in the Dutch striker, they have accepted Forest's offer. Both Nottingham Forest and Manchester United No specific figures have been announced for the offer..."

"The response from the news media is really quick." Tang En smacked his lips as he watched the situation outside the wire fence of the training base.

Just after the news was announced, the Nottingham Forest training base was surrounded by reporters from all over England. In fact, the media knew about Nottingham Forest's first offer, and they also knew about the result. These British media and Ferguson's assistant coach Carlos Queiroz think the same. Nottingham Forest is Manchester United's rival in the league. With Ferguson's temper, he can't sell his team to a competitor in the same league. , even if that person is a player he no longer needs.

Therefore, after the Forest team's first offer was rejected by Manchester United, it did not attract much attention from the British media. This is a very normal result. At the same time, the Bundesliga team Bayern Munich's shot attracted the attention of these media. In their view, this is valuable news.

Unexpectedly, after Nottingham Forest's second offer, Manchester United unexpectedly agreed to Forest's offer. Now, all media attention turned to Nottingham.

"There must be a lot of questions in their minds to ask..." assistant coach David Chris Lack looked at the "fully armed" reporters and said.

Tang En shrugged.

The Forest team resumed their training yesterday. At this stage, the team is mainly engaged in physical training. The work of the coaches is not heavy, so Chris Lack has time to stand here and chat with Twain. But Tang is very dedicated to guarding the team on the training ground, even though he is not a physical coach.

Chris Lark was right. Those reporters had many questions in their minds and wanted to ask Dunn. For example, the specific number of the second offer, and how Ferguson agreed to the offer from the Forest team. Is there any unknown inside story behind the acceptance of the offer, such as behind-the-scenes transactions?

"Tell everyone that before the transaction is confirmed, we will not accept any media interviews or hold any press conferences." Dunn ordered his assistants.

Chris Lak nodded to show that he knew, and then asked another question: "What about the news from the Dutch?"

"Their agent told me that Luther has received the news, but because we still have competitors, he needs to carefully consider which side to accept the invitation."

"Um……"

"Okay, let's go back." Tang En glanced at the reporters, turned and walked back to the training ground.

As the team's two assistant coaches, Tang and Chris Lack have taken full responsibility for the team's training. The whistles of the two coaches kept ringing on the training field. In this busy area, no one noticed that the team's head coach Tony Twain had quietly left through the side door, detoured to the youth team training base, and took a ride in front of the door there. Randy James' taxi left Wilford.

After the training, the reporters guarding the entrance of the training base didn't see Twain. The person in charge of dealing with the reporters was Chris Lak. He just answered something that everyone knew - the forest team made a second offer to Manchester United. As for He declined to say anything else. For example, when a reporter asked how the personal negotiations with Ruud van Nistelrooy had progressed, he would always push the question to Dunn.

This answer is already considered a relatively euphemistic "No". Because everyone knows what kind of virtue Tang En's temper is, Chris Lark must have received Tang En's instruction when he said this. Don't say that the reporter can't find Tang En now, even if they find him, they won't answer any questions. Even if some fool really ran to find Tang En, they would definitely be turned away.

It is very correct to say that the reporter loves and hates Tang En. Sometimes his unscrupulous and arrogant performance can make the media have a topic of hype, but sometimes, he always confronts the media, causing the media a headache. Tang En's career is booming now, even if some media are dissatisfied with his "playing big names" approach, they can only sigh helplessly.

When the media gathered outside the Nottingham Wilford training base, many reporters also gathered outside the Manchester Carrington training base, but they did not come to pay attention to the conflict between Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ferguson—— This is not worthy of too much attention. Before the World Cup, everyone knew that the two of them were in the same situation, and there was no possibility of reconciliation. Ferguson's position at Manchester United was unassailable. Reporters are more interested in the grievances between Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney.

In the World Cup, the two people seemed to have the hatred of killing their father and taking their wife. These reporters hope to see this scene repeated at the Carrington training base-the star stars of the two teams glared at each other, disliked each other, shot openly and secretly in training, and you came and went...

But... under the leadership of Ferguson, the two of them talked and laughed together and showed up.

This made the major media who were waiting outside the training ground with long guns and short cannons very, very disappointed.

When everyone's attention is on this pair of enemies, it has been forgotten that Ruud van Nistelrooy is also at the center of transfer rumors recently.

After the training, Ruud van Nistelrooy changed his clothes from the locker room, put on sunglasses and lowered his head, went straight into the parking lot, did not accept any media interviews, and drove away like this.

After training, the focus of media attention is on the two young players and Ferguson. Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo said in interviews that their relationship with each other will not be affected. As good as ever, then no one will know.

Ferguson was interviewed on the sidelines of the training ground. Most of the questions were about the relationship between the two. His answer was the same as that of the two boys, that there was nothing between them. He reiterated that Cristiano Ronaldo has nowhere except Manchester United. will go. Then there were reporters from Nottingham who finally asked the question to Van Nistelrooy. Ferguson admitted that the player may leave Old Trafford, but he did not reveal why he accepted it after rejecting Nottingham Forest's first offer. Second transfer offer.

This question was only asked by a Nottingham media. After the answer, the media's question returned to Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney.

Piers Bruce, representing Nottingham Media, shrugged as he watched the reporters pushing him back outside.

He is not interested in the grievances between the two leading Manchester United stars. For the people of Nottingham, there is only one thing that interests them-whether the world-class striker Ruud van Nistelrooy will come.

※ ※ ※

Ruud van Nistelrooy didn't drive straight home because while changing in the dressing room after training he got a call from his agent who told him he had someone from Nottingham Forest wanting to speak to him.

He didn't turn down the offer.

He parked the car in front of a restaurant he frequented, and his agent and people from Nottingham Forest Club were waiting inside.

The Dutch saw a middle-aged man with curly hair and a baby face in the bakery.

"Hello, Luther. I'm Alan Adams, the marketing manager of Nottingham Forest Club. You can call me Alan." The man who looked younger than his actual age stretched out his hand.

Van Nistelrooy put his backpack on the chair and shook hands.

"Hello, Alan."

Seeing the other party sit down, Alan Adams smiled and said: "I am very glad that Manchester United Club has agreed to our transfer offer, so that we can finally sit down and talk face to face. Nottingham Forest is not interested in you for a day or two It's over, Luther."

Fanny nodded.

"However, we still need to wait for someone to come. He is much more familiar with this aspect than me, the marketing manager."

Hearing what Allen said, Van Nistelrooy turned his head and glanced at his agent, Roger Lindsay. He nodded to himself, indicating that there was indeed one more person.

So who could this person be?

Before the doubts in Van Nistelrooy's heart dissipated, the door was opened by the waiter, and then the three people sitting in the room saw a person rushing in sweating profusely.

"I'm sorry, the damn traffic jam!" He lowered his head and complained while wiping his sweat.

"Tony, we have guests." Alan Adams reminded the people who walked in with some embarrassment.

"Ah..." Tang En looked up and saw Ruud van Nistelrooy and his manager sitting opposite him, feeling a little embarrassed. "Sorry... sorry, it's easy to say."

After speaking, he walked over and held out his hand to Van Nistelrooy: "I'm sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road, I should be there first. Hello, Luther, I am..."

"Mr. Tony Twain, we all know each other, so there is no need to introduce ourselves." Van Nistelrooy smiled and shook Twain's hand. He was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that the head coach of Nottingham Forest would come here in person. In this case, he only needed to make a phone call...

Tang En shook hands with manager Lin Se again before sitting down.

"Where did you just talk about?"

"You came just in time, Tony. We just said that we need you to come forward to explain." Allen said to Tang En.

Hearing this, Tang En nodded, then took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase, and handed it to Van Nistelrooy: "We have been following you since a long time, Luther. Last season, Before the World Cup, the World Cup...these are the relevant reports given by the scouts and my assistant coach."

Ruud van Nistelrooy looked through it briefly, and sure enough, it was all about him, covering all aspects, including game status, game performance...all of them. It seems that it is definitely not a beautiful scene for the Forest team to say that they are interested in themselves.

"I'm not good at saying those beautiful lies, big words, and empty words. Let's get straight to the point, Luther. I believe you have seen the results of the Forest team last season. But the goals of me and the team are not only Just like last season, second in the league and second in the Champions League is definitely not a success for me, but a failure. I need to improve the team's performance in the new season. So we need to add strength, three lines Everything needs to be supplemented...First of all, starting from the striker, we need a dominant center in the penalty area, especially in the small penalty area. I thought about it, and in the entire world of football, only you are the most suitable for this position. Luther. Capello, the new coach of Real Madrid, said that the best center in his mind is Trezeguet, and you are the best center in the world in my mind."

Tang En spoke very sincerely. When he said this, he kept looking into Van Nistelrooy's eyes, making him believe every word he said.

"We know there are competitors, but I think the English league is the best place for you. You've been here for five years, you're used to the pace of the game, the way you play...everything, why would you want to play? How about going to a new league to start again? What's more..." Dunn looked into Ruud van Nistelrooy's eyes, "I think staying in England will give you a chance to prove that Manchester United made a huge mistake in abandoning you."

After listening to Tang En's words, Luther van Nistelrooy turned his head and glanced at his manager Roger Lindsay, the two exchanged eye contact, then he turned his head and smiled at Tang En and said, "You I’ve said everything, what else can I say?”

Then his agent, Roger Linser, said to Dunn and Alan: "Thank you Forest Club for conducting such a detailed investigation on Luther, which shows your sense of responsibility and sincerity. We also did our own thing to the Forest team." Some understanding. Luther thinks that among those clubs pursuing him, Nottingham Forest's sincerity moved him very much... Originally, Luther planned to return to Eindhoven in the Netherlands, but after hearing Coach Twain's expectations for the future, He has the idea of ​​staying in the world's top league again. He entrusted me to discuss the specific matters of personal terms with your club."

I couldn't understand the meaning of this.

Hearing what Lin Se said, Tang En and Allen looked at each other, seeing joy in each other's eyes.

"Ah, you can talk to Alan about the contract." Tang En pointed to Alan Adams who was sitting next to him. His task had been successfully completed.

He stood up and shook hands with agent Linser, and then shook hands with Van Nistelrooy: "I am very glad that you can choose Nottingham Forest, Luther. In the future, you will definitely not regret your choice today."

"I remember that Mr. Tang En said just now that you can't speak beautiful words."

"Ah...Of course, but although this statement is beautiful, it is absolutely true. Don't you believe it? After you officially join, you can ask your new teammates. They will be happy to tell you about my story."

"There are many stories about you in the media. Are there other inside stories?"

Tang En glanced at Alan and Linther who were discussing the details of the contract, and then blinked at Van Nistelrooy in a mysterious way: "Of course, there are many more..."

A day later, Manchester United's official website announced that Ruud van Nistelrooy had officially transferred to Nottingham Forest for a transfer price of up to 15 million pounds. The report stated that Manchester United thanked Ruud van Nistelrooy for everything he had contributed to the team over the past five years and wished him all the best in his new club. Ferguson did not comment on Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer.

No one was surprised by this official announcement. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s departure had already been decided before the World Cup. It is not surprising that Nottingham Forest beat other competitors to win the trust of the Dutch striker. After all, in the Premier League that he is familiar with It is much better to continue playing in the league than to go to a new league.

On the same day, Nottingham Forest Club held a press conference to welcome Van Nistelrooy to join. At the meeting, head coach Tony Twain, Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy and club chairman Evan Dougherty held The forest team's red jersey with Ruud van Nistelrooy's name and number appeared in front of many reporters.

The faces of the three people were full of smiles, but their reasons were different.

Evan Dougherty was delighted that the team finally had a truly world-class player in his prime. Twain was happy because the strength of the team had been strengthened because of the arrival of a player he had always admired. What about Van Nistelrooy? His smile can have too many meanings, perhaps because he found a new club with strong strength, maybe because the personal terms and treatment are good, or maybe because he still has the opportunity to prove his ability to Ferguson...

"We are very happy that Nottingham Forest has acquired such an excellent player, the world's number one center forward, and former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy." Dunn specifically mentioned "the former Manchester United", "Four-year contract, team and road Luther had great confidence in each other. I believe... Luther's golden years have just begun!"
