Chapter 20: A bad end

Tang En felt that he was deceived, not that he was deceived, but that he was deceived by his wishful thinking. He actually felt that all his players were obedient and good kids, just like the data in the FM game, and there was no meaning except the name.

It seems that the impact of time travel has not completely disappeared...

Sometimes he really plays this as a football manager game.

But Bentner slapped him hard. Tell him that this is a real world, very, very realistic. Anyone in the team may break away from his control and pursue the future he wants. Ribery is a wake-up call, and Bentner is almost becoming a reality.

However, Donn did not intend to let Bentner go just like that.

What's more, it's sold to Manchester City?

The day after talking to Bentner's father on the phone, Donn rejected Manchester City's 18 million pound offer during an interview.

"Bentner is the future of the team, we will not be stupid enough to give him to other clubs." He spoke very strongly, and there was no room for volume.

The parking lot in Wilford is getting more and more crowded, and the latest cars are stained with the open space - Nottingham Forest stars are coming to train one after another.

Bentner sat in his black Volkswagen and was not in a hurry to get out. He listened to the empty cars around him, and their owners were already in the locker room.

Turning all the windows closed, Bentner was calling his dad.

Although he has been in England for four years, his family is still in Denmark and he lives alone in Nottingham. He first lived in a dormitory provided by the team, but later moved out to rent a house. Unlike other teammates, he has not bought a house in this city until now.

"Dad. He refused."

"I know, it's in the media."

"How did you talk to him yesterday?"

Thomas heard some concern in his son's voice. He smiled and comforted his son: "Don't worry. I took all the responsibility on myself and had nothing to do with you. We plan to be the worst. Even if you don't leave in the end, he won't make things difficult for you."

When Bentner heard his father say this, he breathed a little relieved.  It was just a little "slight". Now Bentner is under a lot of psychological pressure to train every day.    As long as he sees his head wearing sunglasses appearing on the sidelines, he will feel like a pair of eyes are staring at him.

As a "rebel general" who is determined to escape from this kingdom, while carefully planning the escape plan, you must also beware of the king. Once the plan is exposed, what awaits him will be a very harsh and cruel punishment... This is not an exaggeration. Bentner and Anelka are different.

The French wanted to leave, and Don En wanted to drive him away, but he needed to punish him before leaving.

Bentner wanted to leave himself. Tang En didn't want him to leave. Then the matter was not simply punishing him and letting him go. This was a "rebellion" against the king's will.

Can you do this without psychological pressure?

"Train with peace of mind, don't think about anything. I will handle everything." The father comforted his son, "When a reporter asked this question, he remained silent, don't accept any interviews..."

"But Dad. If I don't express my opinion, how can I put pressure on him?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll put pressure on him. I don't want to pull you in, I'll do the bad guy..."

At this moment, the sound of knocking on glass sounded in Bentner's ear, which scared him.

Turning his head and finding that it was Lennon who had just arrived. He lay outside the window and gestured to himself, asking him why he hadn't gone to the locker room yet.

"Sorry, Dad, my teammates are here to find me..."

"Ah... OK, go. Oh! Remember, if Tang En looks for you, find an excuse to turn it off..."

Bentner hung up the phone in a hurry and came out of the car.

Lennon looked at him with a smile: "Who is calling for so long? Girlfriend?"

Bentner was worried that he didn't know how to answer, and Lennon had already found a reason for him. He smiled a little stiffly: "Yes."

"Oh - how long have you known each other? We don't know? You kid are very confidential, you must be a big beauty!"

"Haha, I have the chance to call out to meet you all in the future."

Bentner absent-mindedly answered Lennon's question about how beautiful his girlfriend was, leaving the parking lot side by side with him.

During the training interval, Don N indeed found Bentner and wanted to talk alone. Bentner kept in mind his father's teachings and refused the proposal on the excuse that he had already booked a date with his girlfriend. And to prove that this date was a must. He also said that it was his girlfriend's birthday.

Tang En tilted his head and looked at Bentner for a while, making him feel irritated.   He almost confessed himself.                                                                                                              

As soon as Tang En turned around, Bentner's eyebrows drooped - what reason should he find tomorrow...

The training continued, and Tang En stood aside and watched, when the ringing sounded in his cell phone in his pocket.

He knew there was only one person calling him at this time, because he had just rejected Manchester City's offer earlier.

He took out his cell phone, stood by the training ground and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mr. Thomas Bentner." He said in a cold voice.

"Hello, Mr. Tony Done." The voice over there was a little smile.

"I rejected Manchester City's offer, you must be very annoyed?"

"No, how could that be? I understand very well, because their offer is so low that my son shouldn't be worth only £18 million."

"This is not a matter of price, Mr. Bentner. Your son is a non-sale product in the club. He is the future of Nottingham Forest. He will be the team's leading scorer and number one center in the next ten years!" Tang En emphasized his tone, hoping that the old man would understand how important his son's status is.

"As far as I know, many clubs claim that someone is their place is not a product. But they sell it to the team with the highest bidding. "Maybe because of a premonition that Don Eun will be angry because of this sentence, he quickly continued, "I agree with your first sentence, Mr. Don Eun. This is indeed not a matter of price, it is a matter of the players' wishes. I said that my son is not suitable to stay here because you are completely unable to fulfill the promise you once gave him... No, don't say what the future will be like. I hope you can respect the players' personal will. Didn't you just agree to let Pique return to Barcelona? Why can't you respect my son's ideas equally?"

"This is completely different!" Tang En growled.

Of course this is different. He has never spent much effort on Piquet.

"I don't think there is any difference, anyway, you have Van Nisstruy who can play center."

Tang En felt that there was nothing to talk about with this stubborn old man who insisted on not believing in him. He hung up the phone roughly and stood there sulking.

Manchester City raised the offer again, which came from their offer of 20 million pounds to acquire Bentner.

After a secret battle, Manchester United club won Berbatov for £30.75 million, and there are fewer and fewer good centers in the transfer market. If Manchester City doesn't hurry up, the transfer window will be closed. At that time, even if Bentner really wants to go, he will have to wait until January next year. Half a year is not long, but not short. Who knows what will happen between them?

At the same time, after hard work, Manchester City finally successfully won the Brazilian star Robinho, who had a conflict with the senior management at Real Madrid, and spent 40 million pounds. The deal made Schuster very, very dissatisfied. But what can I do? He is not the head coach who works for the English club, but the club sports managers are more powerful than him, the head coach at the Spanish club. He complained that he wasted a summer and the planned winger Ronaldo did not come, but the original winger Robinho left. Now the team only has Robben, which has a very adverse impact on the team's tactics, and he dared not do anything else.

At this point, the transfer curtain is basically about to fall, and the whole world is paying attention to the news that Manchester City is chasing Bentner. If it is not done well, this will become the last bombshell before the summer transfer window is closed.

Bentner became famous with Nottingham Forest's achievements in the Premier League and European football these three seasons. He is no longer a fledgling star, but a star. He is the main center in Denmark and has a stable goal rate in the Forest team. Many head coaches of the team believe that Bentner has a bright future. If it weren't for Don't have been too tightly covered, someone would have lined up to buy him.

And this time. Tang En finally met an opponent who is good at pestering and has a strong face. The most important thing is that this opponent is very, very rich.

They couldn't buy Van Nystruey because the Dutch didn't want to leave the forest to go to Manchester City. So even if Don and the club refused, they were full of confidence. After all, no matter how much money they paid, as long as the players themselves didn't want to leave, no one could do anything. Bentner's situation was completely different. Now the players themselves want to leave...

Donn patiently waited for Bentner to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday, and then found him again. This time he would have to talk to the Danish boy in person anyway.

"After training, can we talk in person? About the recent transfer rumors."

"This..." Bentner was a little embarrassed.

"Your dad won't let you talk to me, right?"

Bentner looked up at his head in surprise.

"He didn't tell me, but a fool can guess the connection between this." Tang En said with a smile. "I think I need to talk to you. I want to know what you are thinking. Do you know, I just figured out something the day before yesterday: I thought I knew people who could meet all day long, but in fact I didn't know him at all."

After saying this, Tang En tilted his head slightly and looked at Ben Turner in front of him.

Bentner was hesitating in his heart, should he listen to his father or listen to his head?

In the end, he chose the latter. He knew that his father was afraid of not letting him talk to the boss. Ribery was taken to Majorca by his agent just to avoid the boss. As a result, after the boss flew to Majorca in the end, Ribery's attitude changed immediately.

The head is a language expert and is best at using words to deceive people. He is very clear about this. But he also has confidence in his will. This time, no matter how nice the head says, he will not stay.

It’s not that he is so heartless. But he knows that since things have reached this point. If all his previous efforts are wasted and he chooses to stay in the end, he is not sure that his boss will not find an opportunity to wear small shoes for himself. He seems to have a broad mind, but in fact he is a small mind. He will always remember the things you are sorry for him.

Once there is a slight crack in the relationship between people and places, it will be impossible to return to the most perfect time. It is inevitable that the two of them will be a little awkward to get along with each other.

From this perspective, he has no way out this time.

He nodded.

Tang En smiled: "After training at noon, I'll treat you to a meal. What do you like?"

"Just in the restaurant." After Bentner made a decision, he felt much more relaxed. "I don't care about food."

During lunch break, most players choose to go home, and only a small number of them stay in the restaurants at the training base for dining.

Donn and Bentner found a small corner and started their lunch with "Drunk Old Man's intention is not wine".

At the beginning, the two of them ate their own food in silence. After almost the meal was over, Tang En wiped his mouth with a napkin, and he was about to speak. Bentner looked at him and stopped his movements.

"Your father told me. Are you going to leave?"

Bentner was mentally prepared, and he nodded without hesitation.

"Can you tell me why?" Tang En looked kind and did not mean to get angry at all.

"I don't think I'm reused here."

So Tang En began to list the numbers for him again, proving that his number of appearances with the Forest team has gradually increased in recent seasons and his goal rate is also very stable. He even cited some important games and proved that he is really an important member of the team.

Bentner just shook his head: "To be honest, boss... I don't like you to position me. I am a center and the task is to score. But more often I need to pass the ball to my teammates on the court..."

Tang En suddenly realized. Is this what he meant by not being valued?

However, the problem is complicated. In Don't play a tactical system, centers must not be used simply to score goals and score. Most of the time, they need to contribute to the overall offense of the team. Assistance is an important indicator. After Van Nistruy came to Nottingham Forest, his ability actually did not decline, but he never won the league's top scorer again, because most of the time he had to sacrifice his position in the penalty area. Pulling to the backcourt, or even picking up his teammates on the wing, protecting the ball and making a bridgehead. In this way, his goals are naturally less than when he was at Manchester United. But Van Nistruy had no complaints and never revealed his dissatisfaction with this arrangement publicly and privately. This is also one of the reasons why Don't play a particularly fond of Van Nistruy.

Now that Bentner and Donn have completely different tactical habits, it makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Why do you have this kind of thinking? Nicklas, the center is also a member of the team. It will be helpful to the team if you do this. It will not harm you."

"I don't want to be a center with more assists than goals. "Boss." Bentner said firmly, he had plans in his heart. "I'm only interested in goals."
