Chapter 511: Volume 4 The Storm If It Wasn't For Him...

When Tony Twain returned to Nottingham the next day, some Spanish and English media showed pictures of him shaking hands with Beckham yesterday. The media speculated that Tang En's trip to Spain was definitely not as simple as going to praise Shania.

The relationship between him and Shania was clear to everyone when the Sun newspaper reported that he abducted a girl to go to Spain - friends. A friend has a catwalk event, so there is nothing wrong with supporting it.

The media also knew about the relationship between Victoria and Shania, so it was normal for Victoria and her husband to go to the scene to praise Shania.

However, was it really a coincidence that Beckham and Tony Twain met together? Who can guarantee that they didn't talk about anything during this half day?

Without any one of Twain and Beckham saying anything, the media came to their own conclusions - Twain must have gone to Madrid to lobby Beckham to join the team. Everyone on the earth knows that Beckham is not happy in Real Madrid, but considering his 31-year-old age and his wife Victoria who yearns for Hollywood in the United States, not many clubs really decided to introduce him. Judging from all aspects of the current news, although the Los Angeles Galaxy sounds the most absurd, it is also the closest to the truth.

If Beckham really went to the United States, it would definitely break the hearts of many of his fans. Especially the fans who really enjoy watching him play, not his face.

Although Tang En was not a fan of Beckham, he felt that it was a pity that this person went to the United States. Such a great opportunity did not allow him to win the "Glamorous Heart" as he wished, and it would be even more impossible in the future.

※ ※ ※

Beckham is already preparing to inform his agent to stop the contract renewal negotiations with Real Madrid. The Real Madrid club has not shown enough sincerity in the negotiations, and seems to be happy to see Beckham himself propose not to renew the contract and leave here voluntarily. That being the case, Beckham will fulfill them.

On the surface, Real Madrid is still saying that they are negotiating with Beckham's agent about the contract renewal. In fact, both parties have long been aware of the current situation.

Victoria showed her husband a landscape album of Los Angeles, and she planned to find a good place to buy a house. Tom Cruise enthusiastically introduced her to the mansion next door to his home.

Victoria is very satisfied with the environment there.

But all this still needs a nod from Beckham.

Beckham was a little absent-minded about the scenery around his future new home. Ever since Tang En talked with him, he has been like this, always preoccupied.

How could Victoria not know what Beckham was thinking?

Tang En brought a new choice to her husband, and her husband was worried about it right now.

Victoria put down the album and sat opposite Beckham.

She looked at her husband: "David."

"Very good, I think it is very good." Beckham's answer was wrong.

"I didn't ask you any questions." Victoria sighed.

"Ah..." Beckham smiled apologetically.

"Okay, now I ask you. David, would you like to accompany me to America?" Victoria asked.

"Of course, Victoria." Beckham replied without hesitation.

"You lied." Unexpectedly, Victoria didn't appreciate it, but exposed Beckham's lie with a blank face. "If you really want to, why are you absent-minded here?"

When Victoria talked about Beckham's heart, he was speechless.

"You want to go back to England, don't you?"

After a long silence, Beckham shook his head: "I don't know." He glanced at another album, which is the team magazine of the Los Angeles Galaxy. In order to know more about this team, the agent brought him. But he didn't look at it at that time. Anyway, if he really went to the United States, how much time would he have to play football? The selection of the LA Galaxy for negotiation is not about how brilliant the team is or how strong the lineup is, but purely because it is a team in Los Angeles, and Hollywood is also there.

When Victoria got the team magazine, she said to Beckham: "...the team's jersey really looks like Real Madrid's jersey."

Now, he saw the white jersey again, all sponsored by a sporting goods manufacturer, and it is not surprising that the pattern is the same.

If white is like Real Madrid, what about red...

Like Manchester United.

Red Manchester United, red Nottingham Forest.

Beckham looked up: "Sorry, Victoria. I know I owe you a lot... You sacrificed your career for my career. I am willing to go to the United States because I think that can compensate for your sacrifices. Actually, I'm not interested in going to the United States to play football." He said "playing football" very seriously.

Victoria didn't show any surprise at all, she just shrugged: "I knew it."

"This may be a bit stubborn, and it's not fair to you. But I..." Beckham fell silent after speaking.

Victoria didn't speak, and picked up the Los Angeles picture album again, and looked at it.

There was a brief but embarrassing silence in the room at this time, but luckily Victoria's cell phone rang.

"Hello, Simon?"

Victoria stood up and walked to the balcony. Beckham knew that it was Victoria's agent calling, but he didn't have the time to think about what the agent was calling Victoria at this time. He was still fighting in his heart.

Accompany his wife to the United States, or change his mind?

Tang En's words are still in my ears: Your hundred national team matches, your dream of the European Cup...have you forgotten?

How could it be possible to forget? He was substituted in the last game of the World Cup, and he cried so sadly on the sidelines. It's only been half a year, how could he forget? At that time, what was he crying about?

Crying that my years have passed away, my youth is long gone, but my dream is still a dream. I have won all the honors of the club, but the honor of the national team is still blank.

Crying that it is impossible for me to participate in the next World Cup, I can only block everything on the 2008 European Cup.

Who would have thought that so many things have happened in this half season. I was left out in the cold at Real Madrid, not only lost the main position of the club, but also the position of the national team squad.

Not to mention the European Cup, even a small wish to play 100 international A-level matches for the national team has become a luxury.

If I really went to the United States, would McLaren, who didn't like me, recruit me into the national team? It's unimaginable.

Since then, there will be no David Beckham in world football, and McLaren can also prove to the world how wise he was to give up recruiting Beckham into the national team—to let the national team adapt to the absence of David in advance. . Beckham's style of play.

Are you willing? David? Although you said in front of the media that you respect McLaren's choice and are ready to play for the national team at any time. But are you willing to endure such indifferent treatment from a national team coach?

He can't see all your efforts in the national team. One person needs to be responsible for the World Cup failure, Eriksson is gone, but that's not enough. In order to show that his New England is completely different from the failed England of his predecessor, the exile of the players favored by the former head coach is a necessary means.

So, as the captain of the former team, David Beckham was banished. If it goes well, the exile is quite far away this time - Los Angeles across the Atlantic Ocean and the American continent.

Victoria came back from the phone call, looking in good spirits, with a faint smile floating on the surface.

"Looks like there's good news?" Beckham asked.

Victoria nodded: "Simon called and asked me if I was interested in reorganizing the Spice Girls."

Beckham raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this news.

"I think it's very interesting. The sisters back then have all given birth to children. It must be very exciting to perform on stage in this capacity." Victoria said happily.

"You agreed?"

Victoria nodded: "Yes."

"It's a good thing." Beckham's brows also stretched. "I also hope that you can continue your career." Then he seemed to have made up his mind, and looked up at his wife standing in front of him again.

"Victoria, I...I don't want to give up football so early." He finally expressed his inner thoughts. Victoria didn't respond, but looked at Beckham, waiting for him to finish speaking. "This..." He pointed to the spacious and bright room, high-end furniture and home appliances, resplendent as a palace. "Football gave me all this. I don't want people to think I'm a 'player' who makes money off of my face. I want to prove myself again, to those who look down on me...David Beckham is not Selling jerseys."

Victoria put down the phone, waved her arm, and seemed to want to say something, but finally gave up on the idea. She turned her back to her husband, crossed her arms, and looked out the window at the bright sunny sky.

※ ※ ※

Under the same clear sky, Nottingham, Wilford in central England.

"Tony, let's talk about your time in Madrid." In the office of club president Evan Dougherty, the club's Big Three got together.

While the three of them already knew the outcome, Evan was interested in what exactly Beckham had to say.

Allen sat aside a little emotionally.

Tang En looked at the two people, then shook his head: "There's nothing to say, I tried my best to make him change his mind. But he was already prepared and moved out of the family as a shield. What else can I say? Tell him 'leave you alone wife'? Then it would be a turnaround on the first day. I can only make insinuations, but he's clearly made up his mind...no matter what I say, it won't work for him."

"Didn't you convince Victoria?" Alan beside him interjected.

Tang En glanced at him and knew that he must be unwilling. "I can't convince that woman, neither can Shania. That woman is a person who knows why she does what she does and what she should do no matter what she does. She has independent ideas. If an outsider can easily convince her If so... she is not Victoria Beckham. What's more, you think that the only person who can make Beckham change his mind is Victoria. My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours, Ellen. I think the only person who can persuade Victoria is Beckham Ham."

Evan coughed: "It's useless to say this now. Anyway, Beckham is just unplanned... If it doesn't belong to us, it doesn't belong to us... This season is halfway through, and our results are not as good as last season. Ideal, but I believe in you, Tony. What are you going to give us at the end of this season?"

Tang En raised a finger and was about to speak when the phone in his pocket rang.

He shrugged apologetically at the two, turned around and went out to answer the phone.

A few minutes later, he walked back again, with a smile on his face.

"Just now, Evan, you asked me what gift I would give you? I can give it now." He raised the phone in his hand. "Guess who called me just now?" Before the two of them could answer, he himself couldn't wait to announce the answer: "David Beckham."

Allen sat on the sofa in the same posture, but Evan raised his eyebrows.

"He is very interested in returning to England, but Manchester United has no interest in his return. Given that Nottingham Forest is the most sincere club in England, his agent will be very happy to talk to us about the specific conditions. If If he is satisfied, after half a season, he will be ours!"

In the end, Tang En couldn't keep calm anymore. This thing has really taken a turn for the worse. There are no doubts and no way out in the poor mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.

This time, Allen couldn't continue to pretend to be deep, and he stood up abruptly from his seat.

Dunn smiled at him: "From a competitive point of view, I think the conditions offered can satisfy him. The next thing is up to you, Alan. How high are you going to offer the 'money machine' in your mind?" What about your weekly salary?"

This time, it was Allen's turn to take the long exam.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is now the highest paid player in the country, 85,000. At the same time, due to Tang En's adjustments to the team's internal structure, those players that Tang En valued all signed a new contract with the club, and their salaries were raised to varying degrees. This is a reflection of the good financial situation of the Forest team last season. But obviously, for Beckham, 85,000 is not enough.

These topics should not be a headache for Tang En. He kicked the ball to Allen, and then found an excuse to leave the chairman's office.

What he should be thinking now is, if Beckham really comes to the Forest team, what adjustments will be made to his lineup and tactics.

※ ※ ※

Beckham successfully persuaded his wife, but the matter is not over yet, he still needs to convince the sponsor. The United States is almost about to start promoting the agreement with Beckham, but suddenly received a notification from Beckham's agent that things have changed, and Beckham prefers to stay in Europe to develop his football career.

Beckham's transfer to the Los Angeles Galaxy is not simply a matter between the club and the players. It also involves the US strategy of Major League Soccer and Adidas.

The conditions offered by the Americans to Beckham are almost impossible to be rejected-a weekly salary of 500,000 pounds! With a five-year contract, he can earn 128 million pounds in these five years. This number is too scary. But in fact, no matter how rich the Los Angeles Galaxy team is, it is a bit difficult for them to pay this penny alone, so Adidas needs to be responsible for paying part of this part of the annual salary to balance the club's revenue and expenditure.

Therefore, Beckham's going to the United States is a very complicated matter. Now if Beckham wants to stay in Europe, he also needs to settle all kinds of interference. He needs to convince Adidas to let him play for a team sponsored by Nike. Although it is the player's personal freedom to say which club to go to, in fact, every decision behind it often hides the wishes of the sponsors.

If Beckham must go to Nottingham Forest, then he may—no, must—sacrifice part of his financial interests in exchange for this free choice.

As for Major League Soccer, that's easy to handle. Because the two parties have not signed any contracts and agreements, Beckham has the right to change his mind. Perhaps this will leave a bad impression on the Americans, but it is also reasonable. The Americans cannot use "breach of contract" to pressure Beckham, the two sides have no agreement at all.

The Americans and Adidas can continue to improve the treatment to make Beckham tempted. But this time, David Beckham seems to be irritated by the outside world's perception of him. He is determined to prove to the world that he is not down to the point of going to the football desert for gold.

He couldn't play the main force in Real Madrid and was expelled from the national team list. The Spanish media laughed at him all day long as the worst player deal for Real Madrid, and the big newspapers and tabloids made pension plans for him all day long. Those who hated him gloated and announced that David Beckham was not a qualified player in the first place, and that he might be able to achieve a little success in acting in a Hollywood movie. Those who liked him began to lament that they would no longer be able to witness his full-moon scimitar on the court. Almost no one has the slightest confidence in him.

Except that person.

To the United States! To the United States! To the United States!

Whether those who hate him or those who like him, everyone thinks that he has decided to go to America. A weekly salary of £500,000 is waving to him, Hollywood celebrities are queuing up to invite him to a dinner party... Aren't you a person who likes to make money and chase fame and fortune? Now that all these things are in front of you, what reason do you have? Say no, David Beckham?

Except that person.

"...until you announce your retirement for a day, you are a footballer first and then...whatever."

He is not the first person to say this to himself, whether Ferguson or Capello has said this to him. But when these two people said this, their tone was inevitably domineering, and he didn't like it. Only Tony Twain was sincere when he said this. He was not reprimanding Beckham as a coach, but...a friend. Persuade him equally and consider him from his point of view.

How many of those who said, "We value David's football skills, not his ability to make money" are sincere? Will Florentino (former president of Real Madrid) be sincere? joke.

Except that person.

If it wasn't for him, Beckham would have left Spain just like that, a loser. After coming to Real Madrid, the club has never won an important championship trophy, and the media said that he is a cancer of the club, so it seems justifiable. If it weren't for him, this would have become an iron fact after he left. Everyone would shake their heads and say when they mentioned David Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid - it was a transfer that failed. Whether it's for Real Madrid or for Beckham himself.

The appearance of that person made him determined to prove himself again. Even if he was about to leave the city, he didn't want to be kicked out as a loser. He not only has to train hard, strive to return to the main position, but also perform at a better level and become the leader of the team. He wants to make Capello and Calderon regret not renewing his contract until 2009. Help the team to fight for the league championship trophy that seems to be very slim... When he wants to let himself go, everyone - whether he hates him or likes him - people say:

Letting go of David Beckham is the stupidest decision of Calderon and Capello's life!
