Chapter 182 Labor Certificate (Part 1)

Donn's feet have just stepped onto the British land, and transfer negotiations and supporting work on Pepe between Nottingham Forest Club and Porto Club in Portugal are already underway.

In addition to the negotiations between the two clubs, there is another problem that cannot be ignored - Pepe's labor certificate.

Because although Pepe played football in Portugal for many years, he still only has Brazilian nationality and is a non-EU player. He has not yet played on behalf of the Brazilian national team, so he naturally does not meet the standard of 75% of the national team that he must represent his country's national team in international A-level competitions.

If there is no problem between the players in both clubs and the end is stuck on the labor certificate, I'm afraid Tang En will be angry and vomited blood. He has encountered such problems many times when playing FM.

What made him feel a little relieved was that Pepe's application for Portuguese nationality had been submitted.

If Portugal does not apply, Don En has his last move - the special genius clause.

His only concern is that since the birth of this clause, no defensive player has successfully applied for it... and when he thinks of dealing with disgusting FA officials, Don Edward felt unhappy.

As he spent more time in the UK and with his contact with the FA, he felt that the FA of England, which is the "born place of modern football" and the "first professional football management organization in the world", and the Chinese Football Association have very similar and disgusting aspects in many aspects.

Pedient, stupid, stubborn, self-righteous, bureaucratic, backward concepts, and arrogant... These are the "seven deadly sins" of the English Football Association.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Tang En doesn't want to have any interaction with those officials.

As Mendes said, Porto did not stop the transfer of a fourth substitute central defender, and the price was exactly four million euros. Both sides did not waste time on the transfer fee. They directly entered the step of discussing personal conditions with the players.

Donne had already negotiated with Mendes for personal conditions and other reasons, and Pepe authorized Mendes to be fully responsible for all his negotiations. The next thing was very simple.

Pepe flew to Nottingham, England accompanied by Mendes, and then underwent a comprehensive physical examination at the Forest Club. The results of the physical examination surprised those professional sports medicine experts. In Fleming's words, he said to Don:

"This kid doesn't look very strong, but in fact he is almost perfect. There is a very terrifying power inside his body."

Mendes is very confident about his players and is equally happy to hear this comment.

After passing the physical examination, both parties can officially sign a contract. Then the official announcement was made.

After signing the contract, Don Eun held Pepe's hand: "Welcome to Nottingham Forest, Pepe."

"Mr. Tang En, I'm also very happy to play football with you."

"Don't call me Mr. Done, call me boss, or boss." Done patted Pepe's thick shoulders, "In England, players call coaches that. You have to get used to it."

"Okay...boy." Pepe's round face smiled a little silly.

"You can go on vacation, the players' vacation is not over yet. Also, if you have any requirements for the house you live in in the future, you can also tell us that the club will consider it when looking for housing for you.

”Allen, who was standing next to Donn, stood up and said.

Pepe didn't expect that the club had already taken all these issues into consideration just after signing. He looked at the club's marketing manager Allen in surprise. Tang En smiled and said, "Your life problems."

There are dedicated people in the club, so you don’t have to worry about life here. You need to do one thing - play football and play well. I believe you will like this here."

"I've already fallen in love with this place, boss."

Everyone in the room laughed.

Evan once carefully analyzed where the gap between Forest and other giant teams is in the competitiveness and loyalty of players. Relying on their brilliant history and influence in football to attract players.

And keeping players, obviously Forests is not the opponent of other giants. Relying on huge wages to retain and attract players... Evan is not Abramovich either.

Finally, after thinking about it, at this stage, I am afraid that only by putting some effort into some small details can the players feel that this club is really considering them and a club worthy of their contribution.

This idea was the time when Donn asked Evan to pay for Wood's mother in the name of the club to treat her illness and arrange a residence for the Woods family, which inspired Evan. Later, Evan also saw the effect, and just spent some money to treat her illness.

After getting an apartment, the club gained a powerful midfielder who has risen rapidly in England, making Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and other giants jealous - Forests also have things that make those giants jealous.

Although the Forests' goal is to become a giant in G14, the Forests is still a perfect club now. Evan admits this, so he has to do a lot of work.

Tang En's task is to lead the team to train and play games. Allen is responsible for making money. As the chairman, he naturally has to think about running the club.

Tang En knew that Pepe was a player who valued family more. If he was allowed to go to Nottingham Forest and stayed in a hotel all the time, it would definitely affect his performance. Find him a fixed residence. Even if it was just renting, it would stabilize Pepe's condition.

The club takes all these trivial matters into consideration and handles them well, so that foreign players such as Pepe can devote all their energy to the training ground and better contribute to the team.

Tang En often says something on the training ground: Details determine success or failure.

If you handle every detail in the training, then when the players do every detail in the game, the victory will come naturally - unless the luck is too bad.

This sentence also applies to club management and management. Evan hopes that Forests will become the most special of the 20 Premier League clubs, not only relying on results, but also more differences.

Just think about why Barcelona can make Messi willing to stay there, not only because they are wealthy families, but also because the club paid to cure Messi's dwarfism and found a job in the club for Messi's father, solving financial difficulties.

The same situation is Dos; Santos, the Barcelona club paid for the money to solve Dos; the Santos brothers' studies provided to their family's residence.

These more human details may not seem conspicuous. When people pay attention to the talented performances of talented players, few people can know how much effort the club has put in behind them.

But when these details accumulate one by one, amazing power will be generated when needed, and this is - loyalty.

After becoming the club chairman, Evan carefully studied the history and stories behind almost all successful clubs in Europe.

From the perspective of a corporate person, he believed that each successful club is actually one company - the Premier League clubs are all joint-stock companies.

However, they are somewhat different from companies in the ordinary sense because the projects and customer groups they operate are relatively special.

Since it is a company, it must have corporate culture, that is, the temperament of a club. Any successful club will have something different from other clubs.

Nottingham Forest, unlike Real Madrid, has a history of continuous glory and global prosperity, and cannot regard glory and glory as the core of the club's foothold.

They are not as strong as Barcelona or Athletic Bilbao, with a strong sense of regional identity. Regardless of their performance, there is always a large number of loyal German supporters.

They are not as glorious as Liverpool’s KOP stands tradition, with ups and downs, ups and downs, ups and downs.

After Evan carefully studied the club history of Nottingham Forest, he was frustrated to discover. Apart from the history of old enough, they had nothing to run through the whole world.

It was more of a person's era than a club's era - Bryan; Clauve's era.

In addition, the characteristics of the Forest team have been vaguely and indistinguishable for more than 140 years since the club was established.

Evan once discussed this issue while having dinner with Allen and Donne.

When he was worried that there was nothing to show off with the Forest Team, Tang En woke up the dreamer with one sentence: Isn’t it better to have no characteristics? Just like a piece of white paper, whatever you draw or write, we start from scratch, build this club completely according to your ideas, and put your personal mark on it.

Several years later, when people think of Nottingham Forest, they will definitely say that the history of Nottingham Forest was written by you. Isn’t this more fulfilling than following the previous tradition?

Evan was inspired, and he felt that although Nottingham Forest is now a small club - there is nothing to be embarrassed about - there are also small benefits for small ones.

Every time I see Tony and the players joking around the training ground, he will follow him in his office.

Nottingham Forest, which has a history of more than 140 years, is now an absolute young team. From club chairman, team head coach, and team average age, they can rank first on the youngest list of twenty Premier League teams.

A young team is full of vitality and hope. Under the leadership of a head coach who is very capable of winning people's hearts, they unite and attack each target. There is no intrigue in the wealthy clubs, and everyone's faces are filled with bright smiles. Isn't this good?
