Chapter 184: Frontline Issue (Part 1)

Two days later, there was a good news from the English FA that made Donne and the Forest team breathe a sigh of relief: Brazilian player Pepe obtained a labor certificate, and he could sign with the Forest team and participate in various competitions on behalf of the Forest team.

From now on, Pepe is a real member of the Forest team.

This is indeed good news for Tang En, as if he is never relieved of the flesh that has not reached his mouth.

Now the last obstacle for Pepe to transfer to the Forest has been lifted. As long as the Forest team enters the transfer fee into Porto's bank account, Pepe will officially become a member of the Forest team.

In fact, he is now training with the Forest team in Nottingham. The holiday of Nottingham Forest players has ended. The whole team regroups to prepare for the new season. It also focuses on the Champions League qualifiers held at the end of August. Their opponent is Villarreal, who lost in the group stage of the League Cup last season.

After solving the problem of Pepe's labor certificate, Nottingham Forest once again tried to ask Inter Milan about the possibility of Martins' transfer.

This time the result was the same as Don En expected - Inter Milan simply rejected the Forest's price. Martins also expressed his loyalty to Inter Milan in an interview with "Milan Sports", saying that no matter which club is interested in him, he only belongs to Inter Milan.

He received youth training here, became a talent here, stepped onto the European arena here, and became a real professional here. He didn't expect that he might leave this great club.

Seeing such an interview, Tang En didn't want to say anything, and asked the club to cancel his offer to Martins and all transfer plans - he originally wanted to transfer but could be loaned. Now that Martins wants to be a loyal minister, the Forest team will give him this opportunity.

I just hope that in a year, things will not develop as Done remembers: Martins is interested in Inter Milan, but Inter Milan is ruthless to Martins.

Although Martins could not come to the Forest team, Don't pursue a speed striker.

Allen suggested that Donne consider the unpleasant English Golden Boy Michael; Irving. In terms of timing, this summer is indeed the best time to introduce Irving.

From the perspective of commercial development, Irving is of great value.

But Done told Allen that unless the Forest Club has a professional medical institution of the level of Milan Laboratory, then don’t consider Irving’s franchise, otherwise spending more than 10 million pounds to introduce a glass man. Done doesn’t want to be a sucker for being ridiculed by others.

Martins failed to trade, and Donn's number one substitute is to pursue Ipswich, who was still in the Premier League last season but was relegated at the end of the season against Darren, the top scorer inside; Bent (darren_bent).

Whether it is price, ability, or potential, Darren and Bente are very consistent with Donn's requirements.

But... among many clubs that are interested in him, Bent prefers Charlton because Charlton's head coach was the first to be optimistic about him and constantly expressed interest in him. Kirbyshley, who made the most of the team, was the one who helped him to show interest in him. In order to give Darren, Bent made a main position after joining, and even let two forwards in the team, Jeffers and Lisby.

And. In Charlton, there are two Darren; Bent's teammates when he played for Ipswich. Darren; Bent also called to ask for advice when choosing which club to join, and they must have encouraged Bent to join their team.

So, in this way, Darren Bent rejected many clubs in the mainland, including Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland, and Aston Villa. They chose to join Charlton.

The Forest team is now in a very embarrassing position. On the one hand, the Forest team has qualified for the new season's Champions League, and they have a strong attraction to many players. But on the other hand, the Forest team is still not a giant.

In the eyes of many stars, the Senli team is not their first choice. This has caused the phenomenon that Tang En is fond of the local people and Tang En doesn't like the people he wants.

Not only that, when the Forest team is worried about which striker to introduce, they also have to face the problem of being poached.

With the Rockets soaring in the Premier League last season, many players in the Forest team have become celebrities in the minds of head coaches of each team.

Needless to say, George; Wood. If Forest and Wood had not signed a new contract again, the European clubs that came to the door would probably have squeezed the threshold of the Forest. George; Wood relied on his outstanding performance last season.

He was named the Professional Player Association's Young Player of the Season.

As outstanding as him, other young people from the Forests were also playing all the games at the right back. It seemed that this black boy was not as conspicuous as Wood or Eastwood, but his stable performance was still indispensable in the team.

Fans may not be able to see it, but professional coaches and scouts cannot see it. Manchester United is like Forest asking about the price of Zimbonda this summer.

Of course, Tang En directly labeled Zimbon as "not selling" without hesitation.

However, despite Zimbonda's performance, he was still not the most successful transfer of Forest last season. His French compatriots, Frank; Ribery, after the end of the season.

It was selected by the media as the best transfer in England in the 2004-05 season. The media commented as follows:

——Tony; Coach Donn had a pair of curious eyes, he discovered players like George; Wood and Zimbonda, but last season, the most exciting transfer was the young man he brought back from the French second division: Frank; Ribery.

Free transfer, without spending a penny on the Forest team, now conservatively estimates that his net worth has risen to 10 million pounds.

Assisted, goals, speed and momentum of dribbling on the wing made Ribery a star who could be discussed with Giggs in the Premier League.

When coach Mourinho qualified for the Champions League at Forest, he once said that the Forest and their head coach were lucky. But now, can we do it with so many young players with great potential just by being lucky?

——After Arthur; Wenger, we have another coach that can be expected in the annual transfer market.

In this summer transfer, Coach Don En did not hesitate to use the "special genius clause" to bring Brazilian central defender Pepe? No one has heard of him before, but he will definitely bring us something new in the new season.

Why? It’s because he is a player that Coach Don Eun values ​​so much.

——It is said that now it is a si company with a cooperative relationship with Forest Club. When making the FM series of games, it will consult Tony and Donn for the abilities and potential of certain players! This is really surprising. We all know that Si company has more than 2,500 survey researchers who are specifically responsible for collecting player information from various places around the world... This is really a strong team up.

Ribery is so glorious that he is on another side of the wing, Ashley; Young has also received unanimous praise. Although he only scored three goals in the league Cup throughout the season, his total number of passes ranks first in the team.

It seems that compared to goals, he prefers assists.

Other young people, such as Pique and Bentner, are not as eye-catching as others, but are still remarkable.

Piku is just right, without many amazing performances, but he is very stable - this is the most important quality of a defensive player - stable performance and stable growth. Every step is exciting.

Bentner performed outstandingly in the middle of the season, and after that, due to the Forests' tactical needs, he did not play many games.

He ranked last among the four forwards, but five goals and excellent physical fitness, and outstanding technical characteristics still allow everyone to see his unlimited potential.

It is natural to have so many players who perform well. It is natural to attract the jealousy of the wolf pack.

Ribery, Zimbonda, George; Wood, Bentner, Ashley; Young, Crouch... have all received invitations from other teams.

Among them, Liverpool offered the Forests 7.5 million pounds to buy Pitt; Crouch was completely as expected by Donn. Because in his memory, Liverpool bought Crouch this summer.

Crouch attracted Benitez's attention with his performance in the last three months of the league. After Eastwood was injured, Crouch scored several key goals, but this is not the real reason why Benitez decided to buy him.

He is like Don En at the time. He is interested in Crouch as a high center but has excellent skills. His existence can greatly enrich the team's tactics and is the key to making the team's offense more changeable.

Liverpool lacks such centers now. The Reds, who just won the Champions League, hope to take a step further in the new season, so centers in this way are indispensable.

The Forests initially spent 1.8 million pounds to introduce Crouch, but after one season, it appreciated to 7.5 million! Such an increase could not satisfy Donne, so he refused Liverpool's offer.

And after refusing, they immediately contacted Pierce, a reporter from Nottingham Evening Post; Bruce conducted an interview with Donn. During the interview, the two naturally talked about the recent transfer news about Crouch.

Donn made a big fuss about Crouch's special role, hype that almost all English clubs need such an atypical high center forward who is "tall, delicate, selfless, able to pass the ball to his teammates and score his own goal."

Finally, after telling all the advantages of Crouch, Donn said that Crouch is an important member of the Forest team. When the Forest team is fighting on multiple fronts, he is not going to let such a special player leave.

In fact, what about it? When he received the first offer from Liverpool, Donne had already planned to sell the tall man. On the one hand, Evan is not Abramovich. Nottingham Forest is not Chelsea. The club's finances cannot just go out.

After purchasing multiple players for two consecutive years, but rarely selling them, the Forest team should appropriately save costs by selling players.

On the other hand, he knew that there were too many high centers in the team now: Viduca, Bentner and Crouch, the three high centers were a bit oversupply, and selling one was the best solution.

There are not many teams in the transfer market that are interested in him, and Benten Donne will never sell it because of his age advantage and he can still play for the Forest team for a long time. Then only Crouch is suitable.
