Chapter 699: Volume Six, Crimson, Break Up Unhappily

Tang En felt that he was deceived, not that he was deceived by others, but that he was deceived by his own wishful thinking. He actually thinks that all the players under him are obedient and obedient babies, just like the data in the FM game, which has no meaning other than the name.

It seems that the influence of time travel has not completely disappeared...

Sometimes he actually plays it like a football manager game.

But Bendtner slapped him hard. Tell him this is a real world, very, very real, so realistic that anyone on the team may escape his control and pursue the future he wants. Franck Ribery was a wake-up call, and Bendtner was about to become a reality.

However, Tang En did not intend to let Bendtner go just like that.

Not to mention selling to Manchester City?

On the second day of the phone call with Bendtner's father, Dunn flatly rejected Manchester City's offer of 18 million pounds during an interview.

"Bentner is the future of the team, we will not be so stupid as to give him to other clubs." The tone was very tough, and there was no room for measurement.

※ ※ ※

Wilford's parking lot is getting more and more crowded, and all kinds of the latest cars have filled the open space - the stars of Nottingham Forest have come to train one after another.

Bendtner sat in his black Volkswagen and was in no hurry to get out. Around him he listened to empty cars, their owners already in the locker room.

With all the windows closed, Bendtner is calling his dad.

Although he has been in England for four years, his family is still in Denmark and he lives alone in Nottingham. At first, he lived in a dormitory provided by the team, but later moved out and rented a house to live in. Unlike other teammates, he has not bought a house in this city until now.

"Dad, he refused."

"I know, it's in the media."

"How did you talk to him yesterday?"

Thomas heard some worry in his son's voice, he smiled and comforted his son: "Don't worry. I took all the responsibility on myself, and it has nothing to do with you. We plan for the worst, even if you end up If you don't make it, he won't make things difficult for you."

Hearing what Dad said, Bendtner breathed a sigh of relief. Just "slightly", the current Bendtner is under a lot of psychological pressure in training every day. As long as he sees his boss wearing sunglasses on the sidelines, he will feel that a pair of eyes are staring at him.

As a "traitor" who is determined to escape from the kingdom, while carefully planning the escape plan, he must also beware of the king. Once the plan is revealed, what awaits him will be a very harsh and cruel punishment... This is no exaggeration . Bendtner is not the same as Anelka.

The Frenchman wanted to leave, and Tang En also wanted to drive him away, but he needed to be punished before leaving.

As for Bendtner, he wanted to leave, and Dunn didn't want him to leave. Then the matter is not simply punishing him and letting him go, it is a "rebellion" against the king's will.

Is it possible to do this kind of thing without psychological pressure?

"Train with peace of mind, don't think about anything. I will handle everything." The father comforted his son, "If a reporter asks this question, keep silent. Don't accept any interviews..."

"But Dad, if I don't express my opinion, how can I put pressure on him?"

"You don't have to worry about it, I'll put pressure on him. I don't want to involve you, I'll do the bad guys..."

At this moment, the sound of knocking on the glass sounded in Bendtner's ear, which startled him.

Turning around, it turned out to be Lennon who had just arrived. He leaned out of the window and gestured to himself, asking why he didn't go to the locker room yet.

"I'm sorry, Dad, my teammates came to find me..."

"Ah...Okay, you go. Oh! Remember, if Tang En seeks you, find an excuse to push it away..."

Bendtner hung up the phone in a hurry and got out of the car.

Lennon looked at him with a smile: "Who have you been calling for so long? Girlfriend?"

Bendtner was worried that he didn't know how to answer, and Lennon had already found a reason for him. He smiled bluntly: "Yes."

"Oh—how long have we known each other? We don't know? You are very secretive, you must be a big beauty!"

"Hehe, I will call out to meet you when I have a chance in the future."

Lennon, Bendtner's absent-minded answerer to Lennon's question about how beautiful his girlfriend was, left the parking lot with him.

During the interval of training, Tang En found Bendtner as expected, hoping to have a private talk. Bearing in mind his father's teachings, Bendtner rejected the proposal on the pretext that he had already booked a date with his girlfriend, and in order to prove that this date was a must, he also said that today was his girlfriend's birthday.

Tang En tilted his head and looked at Bendtner for a while, which made his heart tremble, and he almost confessed himself. Only then did Tang En nod his head in agreement, but before leaving, he said, "Tomorrow, I hope the two of us have a good talk."

As soon as Tang En turned around, Bendtner's eyebrows drooped - what excuse would he be looking for tomorrow...

The training was going on, and Tang En stood watching from the sidelines when the phone in his pocket rang.

He knows that there is only one person calling him at a time like this because he had just turned down an offer from Manchester City earlier.

He took out his mobile phone, stood on the sidelines of the training ground and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mr. Thomas Bendtner." He said in a cold voice.

"Hello, Mr. Tony Twain." There was a smile in the voice over there.

"You must be annoyed that I turned down an offer from Manchester City?"

"No, why? I understand very well, because their quotation is too low. My son shouldn't be worth only eighteen million pounds."

"It's not a matter of price, Mr. Bendtner. Your son is not for sale at the club. He is the future of Nottingham Forest. For the next ten years, he will be the team's leading scorer and number one center forward!" Tang En emphasized. , hoping to make this old man understand how important his son's status is.

"As far as I know, many clubs claim that a certain person is not for sale, but they sell it to the team with the highest bid as soon as they change hands." Probably because he had a premonition that Tang En would be angry because of this sentence, he quickly continued, " I agree with your first sentence, Mr. Twain. It’s really not a question of price, it’s a question of players’ willingness. As I said, my son is not suitable to stay here anymore, because you can’t fulfill what you once did. The promise to him... no, don't talk about the future. I want you to respect the player's individual will. Didn't you just agree to let Piqué return to Barcelona? Why can't you also respect my son's ideas?"

"This is completely different!" Tang En growled.

This is of course different. He definitely didn't spend as much effort on Piqué as he did on Bendtner.

"I don't see any difference, you have Ruud van Nistelrooy who can play at centre-forward anyway."

Tang En felt that there was nothing to talk about with this stubborn old man who insisted that he didn't believe in him. He hung up the phone roughly and stood there sulking.

※ ※ ※

Manchester City raised their offer again, starting from the fact that they quoted a price of 20 million pounds to acquire Bendtner.

After a secret battle, Manchester United won Berbatov for 30.75 million pounds. There are fewer and fewer good centers in the transfer market. If Manchester City does not hurry up, the transfer window will close At that time, even if Bendtner really wanted to go, he would have to wait until January next year. Half a year is not long, but it is not short, who knows what will happen in between?

At the same time, after hard work, Manchester City finally succeeded in winning the Brazilian star Robinho, who had conflicts with the high-level at Real Madrid, and spent 40 million pounds. This deal makes Schuster very, very unhappy, but what can be done? He is not the head coach working for the English club. In the Spanish club, the club sports director has more power than the head coach. In addition to complaining about wasting a summer, the planned winger Ronaldo did not come, the original winger Robinho left instead, and now the team only has Robben as a winger, which has a very negative impact on the team's tactics. Don't dare to do anything.

At this point, the transfer curtain is basically about to fall, and the whole world is paying attention to the news of Manchester City chasing Bendtner. Because if it is not done well, this will become the last blockbuster before the summer transfer window closes.

With Nottingham Forest's achievements in the Premier League and European football in the past three seasons, Bendtner has become famous. It seems that he is no longer a fledgling star of tomorrow, but a star. He is the main center forward in Denmark, and he also has a stable scoring rate in the Forest team. The head coaches of many teams believe that Bendtner has a bright future. If Tang En didn't cover him up too tightly, there would have been people lining up to buy him. him.

But this time, Tang En finally met an opponent who was good at stalking and had a thick skin. The most important thing was that this opponent was very, very rich.

They couldn't buy Ruud van Nistelrooy because the Dutch didn't want to leave the forest to go to Manchester City, so even if Twain and the club refused, they were full of confidence. Method. Bendtner's situation is completely different, now the player wants to leave...

Tang En waited patiently for Bendtner to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday, and then found him again. This time, he had to talk to the Danish kid face to face no matter what.

"After training, can we talk face to face? About the latest transfer rumors."

"This..." Bendtner was a little embarrassed.

"Your father won't let you talk to me?"

Bendtner looked up at his boss in surprise.

"He didn't tell me, but a fool can guess the connection between them." Tang En said with a smile. "I think it's necessary for me to talk to you. I want to know what's in your heart. You know, I just figured out one thing the day before yesterday: the people I see all day long, the people I thought I knew very well, actually I don't know anything about him."

After saying this, Tang En tilted his head slightly and looked at Bendtner in front of him like that.

Bendtner was hesitating in his heart, should he listen to his father or his boss?

In the end he chose the latter. He knew what Dad was afraid of not letting him talk to the boss. At the beginning, Ribery was brought to Mallorca by his agent just to hide from the boss, but after the boss flew to Mallorca in the end, Ribery's attitude changed immediately.

The boss is a language expert, best at using words to confuse people. He knows this very well. But he also had faith in his own will. This time, no matter how nice the boss said, he would not stay.

It's not that he is hard-hearted, but that he knows that things have come to this point. If all previous efforts were wasted and he chose to stay in the end, he was not sure that the boss would not find a chance to wear shoes for himself. It seems that he has a broad mind, but in fact he is narrow-minded. You are sorry for him, he will always remember.

Once there is the slightest crack in the relationship between people, it is impossible to restore it to the most perfect time. There will inevitably be some awkwardness between the two of them.

From this point of view, he has no way out this time.

He nodded.

Tang En smiled: "After training at noon, I will treat you to dinner. What do you like?"

"Just in the restaurant." After Bendtner made a decision, he felt much more relaxed. "I don't care about what I eat."

※ ※ ※

During the noon break, most players choose to go home, and only a small number of people will stay in the restaurant of the training base to eat.

Dunn and Bendtner found a small corner and started their "drunkards' lunch."

The two of them ate their own food in silence at first, and when they were almost done eating, Tang En wiped his mouth with a napkin. He was about to speak. Seeing his appearance, Bendtner also stopped what he was doing.

"Your father said to me, are you going to leave?"

Bendtner was mentally prepared, and he nodded without hesitation.

"Could you tell me why?" Tang En said with a pleasant expression, without the slightest intention of getting angry.

"I feel like it's not being reused here."

So Tang En began to list numbers for him again, proving that his number of appearances in the Forest team has gradually increased in the past few seasons, and his scoring rate is also very stable. He even cited his performance in some important games, proving that he is really a member of the team important one.

Bendtner just shook his head: "To be honest, boss... I don't like the position you give me. I am a center forward, and my task is to score, but more often I need to pass the ball to my teammates on the court..."

Tang En suddenly realized. Is that what he meant by not being reused?

However, this makes the problem more complicated. In Twain's tactical system, centers must not be used simply to score goals. More often than not, they need to contribute to the team's overall offense. Assists are a very important indicator. After Ruud van Nistelrooy came to Nottingham Forest, his ability has not actually diminished, but he has never won the league's top scorer again, because most of the time he needs to sacrifice his position in the penalty area and move to the midfield. Even from the side to meet teammates and protect the ball as a bridgehead. As a result, he naturally scored fewer goals than when he was at Manchester United. But Ruud van Nistelrooy did not have the slightest complaint, and he has never publicly or privately revealed his dissatisfaction with this arrangement. This is also one of the reasons why Tang En particularly likes Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Now Bendtner and Twain's tactical habits are completely at odds, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

"Why do you have such an idea? Nicklas, the center is also a member of the team. What you do is helpful to the team, and it is not harmful to you."

"I don't want to be a center forward with more assists than goals, boss." Bendtner said firmly, he already had a plan in mind. "I'm only interested in scoring goals."

Dunn grinned. "I thought that at Nottingham Forest, everyone was used to my tactics. I didn't expect there to be an opponent here. If the team can't win the ball, is it useful for the striker to score more goals?"

"I don't think it's possible for a team to win if the forwards don't score goals."

Hearing what he said, Tang En sighed: "Now I am more determined that you should continue to experience growth... You are wrong, Nichlos. A team that can't defend can't win the game. Defense is everything. Base."

Bendtner spread his hands: "This is the difference between us, boss. I advocate offense, and you are more conservative."

"Ha, I'm conservative?" Some outside media often used this word to describe him, but Tang En never thought that he could hear this word from his own player's mouth. "Okay, if I can win the championship, I'll admit that I'm conservative. Don't you like the championship?" Tang En stared at the bold kid in front of him and asked.

"I like it. But I want to win the championship in my own way."

Bendtner looked directly at Tang En, without flinching at all.

"Very good, very good." Tang En pushed the tableware in front of him, got up and stood up. "Then you can use your skills to win the championship!"

After speaking, he left without looking back.

I never thought it would end up like this...

※ ※ ※

Thomas Bendtner was very happy after hearing his son's retelling: "It seems that he agreed with you to leave, son!"

As a result, Tang En once again rejected Manchester City's transfer offer of 20 million pounds the next day. The reason is the same as before: "Bendtner is not for sale, it is the future of the team. I will not give him to others like a fool, and I will not do anything for money!"

It's hard to guess what he's thinking. It is clear that the discussion with Bendtner the day before ended unhappily, why it seemed as if they had reached a private agreement with Bendtner immediately.

Just after he rejected Manchester City for the second time, another person in the club finally couldn't sit still. He came to Tang En himself, hoping to have a frank talk with him.
