Chapter Thirteen Goodbye, Herald
Chapter 13 Goodbye, Hrad
Shahin showed his skills at the meeting with fans and media, showing that the injury did not really defeat his body. But the doubts about him were still endless. Fortunately, he came out of the UK and did not know how to speak English. He could not understand or hear how the media evaluated him, which was less trouble. And Tang En also told him that as a professional player, the best way to refute doubts is not to argue with the other party in the media, but to slap them with his performance on the court.
At the same time, the psychologists mentioned by Don Evan were also in place. Four female doctors, from young to old, have rich clinical experience in psychotherapy in football clubs. Their first "patient" was Turkish former genius Nurishahin.
Tang Ze laughed at Tang En and said, "Actually, you don't need to hire me. You are the best psychologist for these people."
Tang En curled his lips: "I'm not a master key, I can do any job."
Barcelona's new head coach Guardiola is standing by the training ground of green grass and is being interviewed by the TV station. He has talked a lot about the outlook for the new season, and is now talking about the transformation of the defense line: "... Gabriel is adapting, he does a good job. I think it's not a good idea to play as a center back at the same time... I know where Barcelona's rear weakness is. We need a central defender with excellent heading, height, body, and bounce to make up for this weakness..."
"It is rumored that Barcelona has contacted Pique in Nottingham Forest. Is this true?"
"I don't want to deceive you, the fact is that our people have indeed made a quote to Nottingham Forest. But they have not received their response so far." Guardiola shook his head.
Of course they did not receive a response from Nottingham Forest because the inside of Nottingham Forest is having a headache about this offer.
Barcelona paid 10 million pounds to buy Pique. For a central defender, the price is not low. The key is that Don Eun is not willing to let Pique leave. For three seasons, his partner and Pepe have long become the main configuration of Nottingham Forest. Both of them are very tall. Excellent air defense ability and strong body. They are really as good as fish in the Premier League in such a physical strength. With his outstanding performance in the Forest team, Pique has also been selected for the Spanish national team and won the European Cup this summer with the team. As a player, he was only 21 years old, and he has won the league championship, Champions League and European Cup championships. What other extravagances do you have?
What Tang En is afraid of now is that he has no extravagant desires. Because that means that the reasons he is best at attracting people are not persuasive.
The offer from Barcelona was held in his hand for two days. Pique finally found him today.
"Boss, can I talk to you after training?" He walked to Tang En while taking advantage of the training interval and whispered.
Tang En, who was discussing the new season plan with other coaches, glanced at everyone, then turned around and smiled at Pi Kui, "It's so strange, you never take the initiative to chat with me."
Pi Kui was a little embarrassed, and he scratched his head: "It's good that there will be a first time, there will be a second time in the future..."
Tang En heard him say this. He laughed, but said nothing, and nodded.
At the same time, in another crowd.
"I bet that kid Herad is leaving." The local man said this and was another Zhongpepe.
Everyone was surprised. What was surprised was not the fact that Pi Kui was leaving, but the words were actually said from his central defender partner. They should not be very emotional. Shouldn’t they express reluctance to leave their partners?
Pepe found that everyone was looking at her and knew what these people were thinking. He smiled on his face, who looked a little honest: "What are you doing? It's not that I want him to leave."
"I don't think there is any reason to leave, it's a good place. Why do you have to leave?" As a member of the back line, Bale naturally hopes that everyone will be together next season, and stability is the first requirement of the back line.
"Little monkey, he came from Barcelona, and now Barcelona summons him. Do you think he can resist it?" Pepe saw it very thoroughly.
"I still can't understand..." Bell murmured.
"Some people are more crazy about money..." Speaking of this, Pepe glanced at Ribery sitting outside the crowd, "Some people care more about reputation; some people are very loyal; some people dream of playing for their hometown team... in fact, it is quite normal." Everyone's eyes on Pepe's words were different, as if he was a senior philosopher.
"If he had to leave, no one could stop him. I think the boss probably knew this too..."
Pepe stopped talking because Pique had finished his conversation with Don Eun and was walking here.
Ribery, who was sitting outside, looked at Pique walking towards him and fell into deep thought.
Seeing Pi Kui leaving, the coaches came back to the scene.
"It must be because of Barcelona, right?" someone asked.
"Absolutely." Tang En shrugged. "We defeated them twice on the field, and now they finally have a chance to get a goal back..."
Everyone looked at Pi Kui's back and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After the training, everyone finished showering in the locker room and went back. Pikui knocked on the door of Tang En's office.
Tang En sat alone in front of the computer and was bored to play minesweeping. Seeing Pi Kui pushing the door and standing up. He also turned off the minesweeping game.
"I know what's wrong with you coming to me." Although he stood up, he didn't step out to greet him. He just pointed to the sofa next to him and signaled Pi Kui to sit on his own.
"The Barcelona thing makes you..." He wanted to say "It makes you very distressed", but when he said something was wrong, things were not that simple. Because of whether it made Piku "troubled", Tang En didn't know at all. So he coughed, "What do you think?"
"I..." Pikui was silent for a while, finally made up his mind and said, "I don't want to deceive the boss, Barcelona's invitation is very attractive to me."
"It's even bigger than staying in Nottingham Forest to continue winning the championship?" Tang En asked back.
Pi Kui was silent again. He knew what the head coach of this team had. It’s not okay to tell lies. Tell the truth... I wonder if the boss would be even more angry if he stopped?
He came from La Macia. He has been trained in La Macia since he was a child. His family has been Barcelona's most loyal fans for generations. He has received this kind of education since he was sensible: Barcelona is the best club in the world, Barcelona is the only team he loves to follow. It is a supreme honor to be able to play for such a great team. Even if he can't win the same championship, he will not complain. Even if Barcelona is relegated one day and is on the verge of bankruptcy, he will not change his love for this team...
This is what makes Don En the most troublesome. �
Don Eun frowned. It was true that he didn't want Pique to let Pique go - it's not that the team couldn't lack Pique. Lamacia's status is still different from Ribery's - the reason is actually this: Which head coach doesn't want awesome players to be under his command, not less and less?
To be honest, there is one person who can replace Pique now in the team. Belgian hope star Vincent Kompani. But just letting Pique go in vain, Tang En felt a little painful.
After thinking for a long time, Tang En chose to accept his fate. He also tried to keep him. This is what it means to do his job. Some things are not something that can be accomplished by hard work, but for Pi Kui. "Direction" obviously surpasses "personnel", but it is still an overwhelming advantage.
Tang En finally nodded, and the point was extremely slow and light. “Okay, I understand your thoughts. I don’t think it’s appropriate to force you to keep you, and I don’t want to destroy the relationship between me and you. So... let’s do it.” He spread his hands and said helplessly.
Piku didn't laugh. He straightened his back, sat on the soft sofa, and said to Don Eun: "Boss. I like you and my teammates, and I also like this team and those fans. And although I am the one who went out with Lamacia, I also know that without you and Nottingham Forest, there would never be the current Hrad Piku."
Tang En was stunned by his inexplicable words. He was stunned, not knowing what happened. Did Pi Kui suddenly "discover his conscience" and change his mind and don't want to leave? Where is this with?
"I know the club's financial situation is not good now... Actually, I like playing football here very much, I don't know why. It feels very relaxed. I want to give you a farewell gift, don't you want it?"
Tang En opened his mouth wide, and he became increasingly confused.
"With my cooperation, Barcelona may need to raise the offer again." At this point, Piku finally smiled. But he was a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed.
Tang En didn't laugh. He stared at the central defender in front of him who was soon not his subordinate and could no longer call him "the leader".
A day later, Nottingham Forest officially responded to Barcelona’s 10 million offer - they refused!
In an interview, Don En said angrily: "I won two Champions League champions and one Premier League champion. The absolute main force and core defender in my team are worth 10 million? I don't believe Barcelona can't show enough sincerity." Everyone in the circle knows that Don En is accustomed to calling "money" "sincere". "You know, they have spent almost 100 million euros this summer. "In fact, it's still a little far from 100 million, and Barcelona has spent 73 million euros so far.
Then I don't know how Pique asked his agent to tell Barcelona. In fact, I can guess the general meaning - Pique hopes to return to Barcelona, which is certain! But! Nottingham Forest will definitely not let their main central defender go so easily, let alone who Tony Donne is? There is no unknown person in the European football world. It is simply not enough to describe all the negative words created by all mankind... And to analyze it rationally. What is the reason why I am reluctant to let the main central defender go? It is obvious that Nottingham Forest thinks that the money is too low, and haven't you heard that they are building a new stadium now? It is said that the stadium that can accommodate 60,000 people must require a lot of money...
Barcelona's second offer came soon. £16 million! It's about 20 million euros!
Giving this to a central defender is not only because Pique is really a defender who has proved his ability, but also an important reason for his identity as a Catalan. Guardiola is a genuine Barcelona producer. He cares more about maintaining Barcelona's bloodline purity than his former Rijcard. So he cleans up a large number of meritorious ministers in the previous dynasty. One reason is that he believes that as long as he is not a real Barcelona player, he cannot really put in 100% effort and loyalty to this team. These people are actually unreliable. Look at the things Ronaldinho, Deco and Etoo have done in these two seasons...
Nottingham Forest didn't care what Guardiola was thinking. Anyway, the price made them feel very good, so they nodded and agreed.
In this way, the young man Hrad Pique, who was abducted from Lamacia by Tony Donn, finally achieved success and fame. When he was tired, he wanted to return to his roots, so he returned to his original hometown of Barcelona. How about it, it was very touching?
What a clichéd adventure and inspirational story...
There was no ceremony when saying goodbye. The whole team of Nottingham Forest was training in Wilford. For these professional players, it was as simple as leaving alone. Every summer, such scenes will be repeated. At first, people will feel sad. Now, after the experience of professional football, they are used to it.
After Pi Kui packed up the little thing he had placed in his own cabinet in the locker room, he came to the training ground to say goodbye to Don En.
"I didn't expect you to come here..." Tang En was a little surprised.
"I just want to take a look. Boss." Pikui stood beside him, looking at the training ground with green grass. His former teammates were training carefully on it, and assistant coach David Chris Lark's always full of vitality kept ringing, reminding these people not to be lazy.
"When I came here from Lamacia, I never thought it would be today. I thought I wouldn't have that similar feeling about the second training ground except Lamacia and Barcelona. Thank you, boss."
"I'm no longer your coach. I'll meet again next time, we're enemies, and everyone here is..." Tang En pointed to the training ground. "You have to know that Nottingham Forest has always been against enemies..."
"You're welcome." Pi Kui helped him finish his words.
"Just you know."
"Then I'm leaving, boss."
Tang En turned his head and looked at him, and he opened his mouth: "I mean, if, if, maybe...if, if, maybe...if, maybe you can't stay in Barcelona, you can come here."
"I must have been unable to play football at that time."
"Didn't you listen to what everyone outside said? 'Nottingham Forest is a nursing home'!" Tang En smiled.
“I am Catalan.”
"This fact really makes me hate it."
"If I weren't from Gateloa, I would have retired in the Forest Team. Boss."
"There is no if in reality..." This reality made him helpless. Demi also said similar things to him in the same tone.
"Goodbye, Hrad, good luck." He turned his face and continued to look at the stadium.
"Goodbye, boss." Pique turned around and strode away from the sunny Vilford. His agent was already waiting for him in the parking lot, and they would go directly to Heathrow Airport from here and fly back to their hometown.
Chapter completed!
