Chapter 698: Volume Six, Crimson Bendtner's Volunteer

Manchester City wanted to acquire Nottingham Forest's No. 2 center forward, Niklas Bendtner. The time when the outside news media got the news was almost exactly the same as the time when Tang En saw it from his desk. Obviously, the Manchester City club deliberately revealed it to the outside world.

Just like the "Nottingham Evening Post" has a relatively close relationship with Tony Twain, the Manchester City Club must also have one or two close media who can help them speak at critical moments, and the reward is that they can know the "inside information" earlier than other media. .

Twain was in a daze holding the quotation sheet of Manchester City Club.

In the past few seasons, there have been rumors that some clubs are interested in Bendtner, but none of them came true. On the one hand, Tang En would not sell his team's future leading center; on the other hand, Bendtner's father and spokesperson announced more than once that his son would not leave the Forest team.

So will it still make that result this time?

He decided to wait another day to see.

Is one day enough for Thomas Bendtner to react?

So, he pressed Manchester City's fax under a pile of folders.

※ ※ ※

A day later, there were more and more news in the media about Manchester City's desire to introduce Bendtner, and the local media in Nottingham reprinted these news.

Bendtner's father, Thomas Bendtner, didn't respond at all.

At this moment, Tang En smelled a dangerous smell from the air.

Reporters flocked to the Wilford training base, wanting to hear what Bendtner himself thinks of these "rumors".

But Bendtner remained silent throughout and did not answer any questions from any reporter.

Bendtner is a slightly silent young man in the team, he is different from Eastwood and Ribery. Still, his popularity is good, and his silence is not the same as Anelka's. Anelka is eccentric, while the handsome Danish guy is just shy and introverted.

But not saying a word is the problem.

Twain felt that he should call Bendtner's agent. He did not believe that Manchester City would follow the rules - find the club first and then the players. The other party must have found the player's agent first before making an offer to the Forest team. They learned from the Ruud van Nistelrooy incident - at that time, Manchester City lost because they did not first find out what Van Nistelrooy meant personally.

Bendtner has two managers, one is his father, Thomas Bendtner, who is more like a spokesperson, and Bendtner expresses his thoughts through his father. He is not involved in negotiating contracts and looking for teams and other work, but he is indeed the most important and the least negligible figure, because his son depends entirely on him to make decisions.

Another agent is Nikos Ulrich, who is a regular agent with a license issued by FIFA. He is doing the contact work with the team.

Tang En decided to call Yurich first, because the two of them dealt with more times than he and Bendtner's father.

"Mr. Tang En, I know what you want from me." Ulrich was a smart man, he got straight to the point and didn't waste any time with Tang En. Before Twain could even ask, he said it all himself: "People from Manchester City approached me, hoping to know about the possibility of Bendtner's transfer. I told them it was very difficult, because Mr. Twain would definitely not let him go. But they said That's okay, they just want to know what Bendtner thinks. As long as he wants to, then..."

"Very good." Tang En nodded, the question was simple. "What does Bendtner himself think?"

Yurich on the other end of the phone smiled: "You can't ask me that, Mr. Tang En."

Tang En was stunned for a moment, but he also realized that if he wanted to know what Bendtner thought, he had to ask his father. Bendtner's thoughts were all told through his father's mouth.

After hanging up the phone, Tang En didn't rush to call Thomas, he wanted to sort things out first.

Obviously, Manchester City lacks strikers. From the beginning of last season to this season, they are all lacking. Last season, there were so many forwards in Manchester City that none of them scored double digits in the season! This is a great shame and humiliation for the forwards of a team. In other words, after the new boss came to power, they scoured the world for strikers and mixed up transfer deals not to make enemies everywhere, let alone to engage in performance art, but because they really had to... As a result, Berbatov, Adeba John, Drogba and Ruud van Nistelrooy didn't accept Manchester City's favor at all, and they didn't even look at this upstart team.

Since the world's top strikers are unwilling to "condescend." Then it is reasonable for Manchester City to retreat to the second best...

The problem is, this second best thing can't be done on my head, Tony Twain!

Niklas Bendtner is my future No. 1 center forward, Manchester City, you have a lot of appetite...

After figuring this out, Tang En found out that this summer he had made a deal with Manchester City.

First, they broke up because of Richards' disagreement, and then because of Van Nistelrooy, Twain added fuel to the flames, making it almost impossible for Manchester City to step down. Now the other party didn't look for anyone else, but he found Bendtner, what does that mean? Want to win a point with me?

No way!

Tang En picked up the phone, found the number of Bendtner's father Thomas, and dialed it.

※ ※ ※

Forest team players came to the training base one after another, ready to start a day of training.

Every summer, the topic of "transfer rumors" in the dressing room is indispensable. Reporters and fans outside sharpen their heads and want to know the stories and related inside stories behind every transfer rumor, but they may be discussed here as a joke.

Some time ago, Ruud van Nistelrooy became the focus of everyone's discussions and jokes, and the behavior of the boss at the press conference also made everyone happy for a long time. Now it's Bendtner's turn.

"Hey, do you want to guess how the boss will reject Manchester City again?" While changing clothes, a naked Wes Morgan was bouncing around in the dressing room.

Everyone turned to look at him.

"Burning checks?" Bell said.

"I heard that no blank check was sent this time." It was Barnes who answered him.

"Hmm..." Eastwood frowned, "It's not fun to refuse directly..."

Bendtner listened to others discussing matters related to him, while he quietly changed his clothes. While Wes Morgan was still spinning his dick around the locker room, he was sitting down to tie his shoes.

Finally someone remembered that the person involved was by his side. Lennon's locker was on Bendtner's right, and the two of them were close together. He patted Bendtner's back as he leaned over to tie his shoelaces: "Nicky, have they looked for you?"

Bendtner didn't look up, and continued to tie his shoelaces: "No."

※ ※ ※

"Mr. Tony Twain, I don't want to lie to you. Actually, they did look for me." Thomas Bendtner was answering Twain's question on the phone.

Not at all unexpected. Tang En didn't even change his expression, he continued to ask: "I don't want to ask what you guys talked about, I just want to know what Bendtner thinks?"

To fight back against Manchester City, it is natural to know what Bendtner himself thinks. Only in this way can there be targeted countermeasures, just like dealing with Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Dunn thought he would hear something like "he doesn't want to go", just like what his father said in the previous rumors. Unexpectedly, this time he heard Thomas say clearly: "He wants to leave."

"That's good..." Tang En's mind hadn't turned around for a moment, and he continued to speak according to the inertia. Then he realized something was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "No, what I mean is... what? Leave?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dunn. I don't want to lie to you, so I have to tell the truth. My son, Niklas Bendtner, wishes to leave Nottingham Forest."

Tang En was stunned for a while, and he realized that his brain was not enough. "What's the meaning?"

"My son often complains that he is not reused in the team, Mr. Twain. He hopes to go to a team that can give him the main core position. Unfortunately, Manchester City agreed to all the conditions for him."

Tang En's head and feet were cold. He never thought it would be like this. The future main center who he has always valued, pinned infinite hopes on, and spent several years of hard work will feel that he has not been reused in this team and wants to leave!

Am I hallucinating?

Or are you still awake?

Or is it that the old man Thomas has not woken up yet, and his head is still in a daze after having a fever yesterday?

※ ※ ※

The locker room was very lively, the boss didn't appear on the training ground anyway, and there was still time before the training started, so everyone didn't mind talking about some very private topics here. For example, continue to guess how their boss will deal with Manchester City.

Lennon was still chatting with Bendtner, and this time he asked half-jokingly: "You won't leave, Nicky? I heard that Manchester City is very rich and can offer you a very high salary."

Bendtner shook his head: "I don't care how high the salary is."

Lennon smiled.

"I just want to be the main player." After saying this, he stood up and walked out of the noisy locker room.

Lennon watched strangely as his back disappeared behind the door.

※ ※ ※

"How could it not be reused? He played 27 games last season! That's almost half of the number. He is my No. 2 center forward. Doesn't that explain the problem?" Dunn was a little emotional. Because he thinks Thomas' reason is a bunch of shit, which is not credible at all, and he has a lot of data to overturn this "not reused" excuse. "He scored ten goals and had eight assists! Such outstanding statistics, if you were in Arsenal, maybe you wouldn't even get them!"

"Mr. Tang En, here is the problem. You said he is the No. 2 center forward. My son, he hopes to become the No. 1 center forward. And I also think that he has this ability."

So it turned out that he was not willing to be Ruud's substitute. "Van Nistelrooy has more experience than him. Moreover, according to my plan, in another season, he will officially replace the Dutchman and become the number one center forward!" Since this is the case, Tang En has the confidence to keep Bendtner.

"No. My son is getting impatient. Mr. Dunn, do you still remember what you said to Nicholas when you first met him?"

These words stopped Tang En from asking. How could he remember what happened four years ago so clearly?

Seeing that Tang En didn't answer, Thomas smiled. This voice made Tang En frowned, and his heart suddenly became very angry.

"Look, you don't remember, Mr. Tang En. In order to make my son refuse to go to Arsenal, he came to your team. You guaranteed that he would become the main player and the core of the striker. I don't know what I said Is it wrong? Maybe you just talk casually, I can understand. After all, in order to attract players to play football, you coaches always have to write empty promises and promises that are impossible to keep. But my son , but I always remember this sentence. After he came to the forest team, he worked hard to train and play, and worked hard towards this goal..."

"Mr. Thomas Bendtner..."

"It's a pity, four years, Viduka is gone and it's Ruud van Nistelrooy. You say that next season will belong to Niklas? To be honest, I doubt it. My son is a kind and good lad. He always I trust others easily. But I am not a twenty-year-old boy, I am older than you, Mr. Tang En. I know that what you said is just an excuse to delay time. The Dutchman can’t play anymore, you will definitely start from Can you find another center in the transfer market? There are so many excellent centers now, I don’t want my son to be a substitute for others for a lifetime. I never doubt my son’s strength, but I suspect that you can’t give him full play With the opportunity of his own ability, Nicholas can become the best striker in the world, provided that he does not serve as a substitute for others in the Forest team. If you want to keep him, I will definitely not agree."

After being told so much by the other party, Tang En's mind gradually calmed down. He asked: "Finished? Mr. Thomas Bendtner?"

"I've said everything that needs to be said, Mr. Tang En. I know you like others to be honest, so I am very honest."

Tang En took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly. "Thank you for your candor, I think I need to think about everything you said."

"When you have considered it, you are welcome to call me."

Tang En didn't drop the phone this time, he hung up the phone and sat on the chair alone in a daze.

He knew that sometimes he deliberately suppressed Bendtner's desire, but it was because he was afraid that he would be too proud. He knew who Bendtner was. This talented young man was arrogant, and sometimes his eyes were unavoidable. He didn't want a talented and promising genius to end up with mediocre results due to some psychological and character reasons, so he tried his best to create a not-so-smooth growth environment for Bendtner, and never told him what he really thought. He hoped that Bendtner could experience it himself.

The implicitness of the Chinese and the British were all reflected in Tony Twain, the fake foreign devil.

He didn't want to tell the truth, because he felt that it would lose the meaning of experiencing growth. It now appears that he was wrong.

Bendtner is not the kind of person who can bear his temper and is willing to experience growth. His thinking is a typical Western style - since I have such a great foundation and environment, why should I go through some bullshit growth? Why can't I directly become the main core? If I have the ability, I will go!

Tang En felt that he was wishful thinking before...

The striker who I have spent so much time and painstaking efforts to cultivate, I actually feel that I have not been reused at all.

For Tang En, who likes to take everything into his own hands, this is really a great irony.

He leaned weakly on the back of the chair, looking at the sunny training field outside the window, Bendtner and his teammates have appeared one after another.

He really wanted to know what Bendtner was feeling at this moment.

Feel cheated?

I also feel like I've been lied to!
