Chapter 69 The Media’s Darling (Part 1)

While British media were sharpening their swords for the fan riots and the two clubs, Donn ate bad Indian food with Evan Dogette, Allen Adams at an Indian restaurant, drawing a blueprint for their future with forks and spoons.

In fact, before seeing Alan Adams with his own eyes, Tang En's only impression of this person was that the beautiful stock acquisition plan kept everyone in the dark, himself and Evan's father. Therefore, before the two met, he always thought that Alan should be a fat man with a big belly, a red face, a cunning light flashing in his eyes, or a Jew or something.

When he met, he realized that the other party had a baby face! The golden curly hair was pressed against his forehead and his eyes were covered with freckles. It looked like he was only in his twenties, but Evan introduced him that Alan Adams was already forty-five years old!

It's really incredible... You can imagine what a forty-five-year-old doll looks like, and you can experience the shocking feeling of Tang En. Fortunately, Allen has become accustomed to being seen like this when he first met someone, so he doesn't care about Tang En's rudeness. He is very friendly and proactive in shaking hands with Tony: "Hello Mr. Tony. Just call me Allen."

"Ah, hello. Allen, you can call me Tony too." Tang En quickly came to his senses and stretched out his hand.

Evan was very satisfied with the first meeting between the two, and he signaled everyone to sit down and chat. “This is a very authentic Indian restaurant. What do you want to order?”

He answered two loud sneezes - Don Eun turned his head and slapped two times, so he attracted the attention of other customers in the restaurant. "Ah... I hate curry. I am allergic to this thing, why do you like to eat Indian food?" Don Eun said a little embarrassedly while rubbing his nose.

Evan, who was sitting opposite him, looked at Donn with a smile, while Allen handed over a tissue.

"Thank you, Alan. Next time I'll invite you to a Chinese meal, it's much better than this! China has a thousand years of food culture, and it's definitely not the kind of Indian one that looks like... uh. That kind of weird curry is comparable..." He originally wanted to say "looks like shit", but soon remembered that it was in a restaurant that looked quite classy, ​​not in the university cafeteria where he could joke with his companions.

"Okay, Tony, I know what you want to say... We all know that you are obsessed with Chinese culture." Evan waved his hand and interrupted Tang En, then touched his chin and said half-jokingly. "But if you really plan to treat me, I have to consider calling more people..."

"As long as you don't call the entire team..." Tang En scratched his head.

"Oh! That's a good idea!" Evan turned his head and looked at Alan next to him, and the two of them laughed.

"Give me aside. The Chinese food here is so expensive..." Tang En raised his hands and said in a surrender.

"But seriously, Tony. If you can get the team back to Super this season, I will pay privately to invite the whole team to have a Chinese meal. How about it?" Evan looked at Tang En and said with a smile.

"From the bottom of the league, it's super advanced in half a season... It's very challenging." Tang En frowned.

"If it's not challenging, I won't look for you anymore, Tony." Evan said this and Tang En felt relieved. Yes, he liked the feeling of being trusted.

So his frowning brows unfolded again. “You are right, Evan. I like to challenge. And… my plan is more than this goal.” He freed his right hand and stretched out his thumb, and then he started to ring the finger, “Premier League qualification, UEFA Cup qualification next season, League Cup champion or FA Cup runner-up…I will all win.”

Looking at the three fingers that Tang En stretched out.   Seeing his confident expression again, Evan and Allen were stunned. They looked at each other, and then Evan shook his head at Tang En: "Tony. You are even more crazy than I thought."

Tang En liked the expressions of the two people very much, and he burst into laughter. This attracted dissatisfaction from several tables of guests around him.

Seeing Don En's smug smile, Allen nodded and said, "Indeed, it's crazier than our plan."

After hearing Allen say this, Donn stopped laughing and asked him: "Speaking of it, what exactly are your plans?"

Evan looked at Allen, and Allen coughed. Then he revealed the answer to Donn: "Tony, you should know g14, right?"

With a "clang", the spoon in Tang En's hand slid from his hand and fell to the ground. This successfully attracted the third "attention ceremony" of the guests around him and the "special care" of the waiters in the restaurant. A young Indian man with a red waiter uniform and a dark-skinned Indian man walked up. He planned to remind the guest to pay attention and not affect the dining of other guests.

But before he opened his mouth, Tang En leaned over and picked up the spoon from the ground. Then he stuffed it into his hand: "That's great, I'm going to call you. Can you change one for me? This one fell to the ground. Thank you!"

The young waiter went back with a spoon in depressed mood. Evan and Allen tried hard to suppress the desire to laugh. They pursed their lips tightly, their faces turned red, and the "hoho" laughter seemed to be coming out from the depths of their throats.

Tang En knew he was fooled by these two people. “I think your plan is 'crazy'.”

Allen shook the spoon gently: "No, Tony. When g14 was first established, it seemed difficult to enter, but now it is different. The clubs applied to join only meet the following three conditions: they must have a glorious history, a strong economic foundation and a relatively high status in the national leagues they are in. Then, there is no problem with the popularity. These three conditions, the long and glorious historical forest team has. We are one of the five oldest football clubs in the world, and have won two consecutive European Champions Leagues. Chelsea cannot compare with such results.

Donn nodded in agreement. Although Chelsea is rich now, why do most people still call them "novas"? Because compared with their wealth now, their historical achievements are really poor. Until now, there are not many teams that can defend the European Champions League in the whole of Europe - Real Madrid (real_madrid), benfica, Inter Milan (f.c._internazionale_milano), Ajax, Bayern Munich (fc_bayern_munchen), Liverpool, and Nottingham Forest.

"I really didn't expect, Allen, you know so much about football." While agreeing with Allen's opinion, Don was also surprised that he was able to talk about football.

Allen shook his head: "Tony, you know... Although I am an American, now I serve Nottingham Forest Club, so I naturally have to know in detail what the environment I work in. This is my own professional ethics. Evan would not hire a fool who knows nothing about football to help him work, right? In that case, Evan himself would be a fool."

Tang En heard Allen's dissatisfaction from this, so he apologized: "I'm so sorry, I'm just a little...uh, a little surprised." Just so happened that the waiter brought him a new spoon and helped him free the siege.

Allen shrugged: "It's okay, as an American, you'll always be asked in this country: 'God! Do Americans also know football?' I'm used to it. Let's go ahead, where did we just talk about it?"

"g14, a glorious and long history." Evan reminded next to him, and then he took advantage of the time when Alan explained the plan to Donn, he called the waiter and ordered a few representative Indian dishes.

"Yes, the Forest team has a brilliant history, and we absolutely meet the requirements." Allen continued, "and the strong economic foundation now seems to be as far away from us from here to New Delhi, but that's my job."

Tang En nodded and interrupted: "You are responsible for making money."

"There is also public relations. Good popularity requires excellent public relations work. And this kind of public relations is not only aimed at those big names in European football, but our public relations are all-round, but it is very troublesome to explain it specifically. In short, it is also in my work area, just let me worry about it. As for you, Tony. "Allen looked at Tang En and said, "You are the key to this plan. Strong economic strength, good club finance, and worldwide reputation, on an equal footing with those big names...

All of these require one condition to be completed first - use excellent team performance as the foundation. You are right to Tony. A team that does not play in the top league in England cannot be favored by top sponsors, nor can it gain a larger market share. A team that cannot win honors cannot have the opportunity to have an equal dialogue with those giants. If you want to enter G14, you want to make more money... there is no door." Allen threw down his spoon, shrugged and leaned on the back of the chair, and he finished speaking.

There was a brief silence between the three.

Tang En was deeply attracted by this great plan. Isn’t this the goal he dreamed of? A broader stage, higher honor, continuous victory after victory, cheers! Greater cheers! Trophys! More trophys! Bring the Forest Team back to the top of the world!

He choked up his Adam's apple and was thirsty for such a fascinating future.
