Chapter 147 Mr. Two trillion (Part 1)

The Christmas gift Allen gave to Tang En was a great gift package. Tang En himself never thought about cooperating with Si Company, but he didn't expect that Allen would do it. This not only brought a new sponsor to the club, but also made Tang En himself the image spokesperson of the game.

Of course, I announced that my cooperation needs to wait until Christmas is over, and then there is more to be busy. At the press conference, the production of new covers of game packaging, the shooting of game promotional print advertisements... and so on.

The English League is different from other European leagues, and there is no winter break. Although the head coach of the England national team, Eriksen, proposed a winter break a few years ago, the FA did not adopt it. Not only does there not have a winter break, but it is the most intense moment of the Premier League schedule around Christmas. Think about the Forest team's two consecutive games on the 26th and 28th. This arrangement is available at this time of year.

The Christmas party inside the Forest team has passed, and the calendar has also turned over the new year.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    �

He didn't know anything at the beginning. He just pretended to be the head coach of the team because he used to play football manager games, read various news reports related to football, and fantasies in his mind. Because of his good luck and a little talent, he did not get out of class halfway and stayed on the streets.

Now he no longer regards himself as a fake who doesn't know anything. He believes in his ability and believes that he can lead the Forest team to success.

On January 1, before Forests faced Bolton at home, Forests introduced their first player during the winter transfer period - goalkeeper Van der Sar to report. Donn attended the press conference with him. Of course, before going to meet the media, Tony Donn, the team's head coach, had some communication with Van der Sar in his office.

Van der Sar was brought by his agent. Donn met the Dutchman who came from London at the door of his office. He was exactly the same as he thought, tall, very low-key and calm.

"Welcome to Sherwood Forest in Nottingham, welcome to join our red bandit gang. I am Tony Donne, the boss of this bandit gang. You can call me the boss. You can also call me boss, Tony... or whatever, you can do." Donne's self-introduction refreshed Van der Sar. He has been to many teams in his career, and has never seen any team's head coach introduce their teams and welcome newcomers like this.

The Dutchman was a little surprised and didn't react. The assistant coach next to him David Chris Lack smiled and said, "This is his style, just get used to it."

Van der Sar then stepped forward and held Tang En's hand, "Hello, boss..." He called a person who was only one year older than him as the "boss". The Dutch really didn't adapt.

"I'm glad you can choose the forest, Edwin (edwin_van_der_sar). I believe you didn't come here with the idea of ​​retirement, right?" After shook hands with Van der Sar, Done was straight to the point.

Van der Sar nodded: "Of course. If it's for retirement, I can go to Ajax."

Hearing Van der Sar's answer, Tang En nodded. Then he pointed outside: "Yes, I think so too. We all know why your choice is. There are a lot of media outside now. Did you see it just now? The parking lot is full."

Van der Sar nodded to show that he knew.

"A lot of those people questioned the transfer between us. They said the Forests would only spend money on those old guys who were no longer asking for. Or Edwin Van dersar is preparing for his life after retirement... Wait, they all seem to be serious. We just need to prove it to them in future games, they are wrong. I am an ambitious coach, where are you, Edwin?"

Van der Sar smiled and said, "So too, boss."

"Very good, we will cooperate very well! I will take you to meet your teammates later. The press conference is very short. I will not arrange this meeting with the fans. After the press conference, you can go to the locker room to get to know everyone, and then... do you need to go back to the hotel to rest?"

Van der Sar shook his head and said, "No, I can train directly." He thought this was a small test for Donn for the new players. If you want to leave a good impression on the new coach, you have to perform hard and hard.

Sure enough, Tang En was very satisfied with Van der Sar's answer, and he clapped his hands: "Then let's go to the press conference first. Let the group of reporters wait anxiously. Who knows what they will write in the newspaper at that time?"

Van der Sar found that this head coach was indeed different from any coach he had ever come into contact with before, very funny and humorous. And he was very young, only two years older than him.

Donn then introduced Chris Lak to the Dutch and took him to the press conference.

Although it is the New Year, there are still many media coming, because this is the winter transfer period, so far, the most famous player transfer in English football. The 34-year-old Dutch goal did not choose Manchester United, but instead went to Nottingham Forest. It would not be possible that there would be no response at all.

As Tang En said, most media outlets made the decision to change clubs when Van der Sar was 34 years old, which was the focus of reporters' questions.

Van der Sarte's answer was in line with Don Eun's expectations - to say some nonsense that sounds good on the surface but actually says nothing. It will not give any opportunity for the media to take advantage of others' speeches.

Tang En sat next to him and always smiled on his face. Now the goalkeeper problem that made him the most troublesome has been solved. He couldn't think of anything else to worry about.

There are stable Viduka on the forward line and Eastwood partner. Although Bentner and Crouch can only be substitutes for them, in Don't have the ability to start.

Not to mention the strength of the midfield, George Wood is now in the red, Albertini is still strong, and Ribery, Ashley Young, Allen Lennon... The weaker ones here may be Chris Conmons and Branya Gunnarson.

Veteran Yero is in charge of the back line. Although his number of appearances has gradually decreased, his experience is still the team's most precious asset. Piku is gradually growing into a main central defender. Tang En kept up with his promise when signing with him and gave him a chance to play. Piku quickly seized these opportunities and slowly showed his strength.

Now there are strong players joining the goalkeeper position. Although Van der Sar is already 34 years old, his condition is still very good. Within two to three years, Tang En no longer has to worry about the goalkeeper issue.

After the press conference, Don Eun led Van der Sar to the locker room, and the players who participated in today's training were coming one after another. While walking on the road, Don Eun introduced the team and players to Van der Sar: "...In general, everyone is easy to get along with. Have you heard of any negative news in the locker room of the Forest team?" He hesitated for a moment and knew what the Dutch thought, "That was just a story made up by the media. You will know then, and I promise you will fall in love with this team soon."

Before they could reach the door of the locker room, the two of them heard loud laughter coming from inside.

Donn smiled at Van der Sar, then pushed open the door and appeared in front of everyone.

"Guys, introduce you to a new partner - Edwin Van der Sar." Done waved and signaled Van der Sar to come up and greet everyone.

"Hi, hello everyone." Van der Sar greeted his new teammates generously. Albertini stood up as the first captain to welcome him. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that we became teammates, Edwin."

Van der Sar played for a while in Serie A and had played against Albertini's AC Milan. Although rumors have been rumored that Juventus and AC Milan are sacred leagues in Italian football, there is no alliance friendship between the two sides when it comes to competing for the championship.

Van der Sar was very happy to meet a familiar "old friend" here - even if it wasn't counted before, now.

Albertini came out to take on the responsibility of bringing newcomers into this group, which was obviously much better than Donn. So while everyone came up to say hello to Van der Sar, he quietly stepped out.

The atmosphere was very good. Except for Ward, who would be replaced, he came up politely and shook hands with Van der Sar and then retreated to the corner.

As for the depressed Darren Ward, Don Eun also has plans. During the winter break, see if any clubs will be interested in him...

Before Donn could wait for the club's offer that was interested in Darren Ward, he waited for a lot of quotes related to George Wood.

In the 21st round of the English Premier League ending on January 2, Nottingham Forest defeated Portsmouth 1-0 at his home court. Wood's performance was still stable, but his performance has always been like this, but a goal against Manchester United changed all this and attracted more attention.
