Chapter 62: The Young Guards

The transfer fee of £16 million has almost used half of Nottingham Forest's transfer budget this season. Next, Done must make a choice. Should he use the remaining transfer fee to buy a heavyweight player, or a few players with equal strengths?

But such a choice is not a problem for Tang En.

In his heart, Nottingham Forest will surely rise, so he does not need to spend all his money on ordinary players with mediocre qualifications. He decided to concentrate all his "advantageous forces" and make contributions to one battle.

He fell in love with David Silva of Valencia...

However, he faces a huge challenge, because the clubs he likes Silva are not the only ones. Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, AC Milan... Nottingham Forest is simply inconspicuous in this long list of suitors.

Donn is determined to spend £30 million in transfer funds to acquire Silva - of course, it is an installment payment method. But Valencia does not accept the installment payment model.

Last season, Valencia had a successful first half. But as the league progressed, they were gradually lost. The team's economic crisis was still not resolved, but worsened with the arrival of the global economic crisis. Valencia, which originally claimed that Villa and Silva were non-selling, had to consider putting these two stars in the transfer market.

As soon as the news came out, the wealthy clubs seemed to have smelled bloody wolf and flocked to them.

Real Madrid is temporarily ranked first in the battle to rush to buy Villa. The battle on Silva is in fierce competition.

In the end, Nottingham Forest was defeated due to lack of wealthy background and lack of wealth.

The failure of the acquisition of Silva allowed Don En to see the current situation of the team - his tone was expected to dig out famous stars from outside, so it would be better to look at younger players than to look at them.

He decided to attack those talented teenagers from England.

When Don was still worried about continuing to expand the team's strength, his friend, "crazy" Stuart Pierce, called him and recommended someone to him.

"I recommend him to you, not because I can get any benefits from this transfer. Tony. "Pearce said so. "I just don't want his future to become dim - his contract with his former club expires this summer. But he doesn't want to stay in that League One team. He longs for a bigger stage. I also see it. I think he can no longer make any progress in League One. Now he has a lot of teams, but I believe you, Tony. So when he comes to my advice, I recommend you to him."

After hearing Pierce say it for a long time, Donn didn't say what the person's name was, so he asked, "Which young man is that?"

"Joe_mattock. Lechester City's left back."

Tang En suddenly realized. He heard the name of this player a lot. The English media rated him as one of the top ten talented players in England. He was only eighteen years old and was summoned by Pierce to England under 21 youth team. He has accumulated a lot of first-team experience in the League One game. He is strong, has excellent defense, and has good assisting skills. Many clubs are very interested in him. Unexpectedly... Pierce actually sent such a person to his mouth.

"No problem, no problem. Stuart. I promise you will gain a better young man than now." Tang En naturally agreed. How could such a good thing be let go?

Although the team currently has Layton Barnes and Gareth Bale. But considering that Bale sometimes needs to play a guest appearance as a left forward, and Joe Matok is very young and can be used as a future investment, this deal will be very cost-effective.

Pierce did not lie. Just two days after he called Donne, Matokdi's agent came to the door.

The next thing is simple. Both sides agreed on personal treatment and signed it directly. Nottingham Forest got one of England's most promising left-backs without spending a penny.

The Forest team has also won other positions. Although Nottingham Forest's attractiveness to foreign stars has declined and has been troubled by financial problems, they cannot compete with wealthy people like Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester City for those famous superstars. But in the eyes of local young players in England, the traditional Nottingham Forest and the head coach with this unique personality can still attract them.

At the end of June, Charlton officially announced that their young star Jonjo_shelvey had transferred to Nottingham Forest for 2 million pounds. This number is not low for a player who is under 18 years old. But at this time last year, Shelvey's net worth was as high as 6 million pounds. If it weren't for the arrival of the economic crisis, many clubs' investments were much more rational. It would be impossible for Donn to buy the captain of England's under 16 national team for 2 million pounds.

Although Shelvey is only seventeen years old, he is already well-known in England. He was only sixteen years and fifty-nine days when he was in Charlton when he first played for the first team. He replaced the injured Chinese national team captain Zheng Zhi. But before that, he had won a lot of club attention. In the 2007 Victory Shield Cup match, he played as the captain, led the England Under-16 national team to win the championship and scored three goals. As early as the Charlton youth team and the reserve team, he became a midfielder goal machine.

Tang En bought him not because he could destroy the city and village for the team this season. Instead, he took a fancy to his potential and would grow into an outstanding player in the near future. Everything he did this summer was planning for the near future. Ambush the foreshadowing and planting seedlings.

In the battle for Shelvey, Donn defeated other teams such as Sunderland and West Ham United only because he is Tony Donn. Donn has become popular in recent years. Although many people hate him, many people also like him. Especially because he prefers young players, he is even called "Asena Wenger" in England. In the eyes of many teenagers, he plays football with Tony Donn.

Such advantages are not only reflected in Joe Matok and Jonho Shelvey.

Victor_moses, an eighteen-year-old forward of Crystal Palace. Although he was born in Nigeria, his family immigrated to the UK at the age of five. When he was sixteen, he signed a four-year contract with Crystal Palace. Like any African player, he is extremely strong, has outstanding speed, and has excellent skills. The only disadvantage is that although he is 1.85 meters tall and strong, his header can only be considered average.

Such a player became a member of Nottingham Forest this summer. Don En positioned him as a "first-team rotation player". He needs to change his identities between the first team, reserve team and youth team at any time.

In addition, Tony Donn also fell in love with Sunderland's young all-round midfielder Jordan Henderson. This player can play on the right forward, defensive midfielder and forward. In the 2007-08 season, he led the Sunderland youth team to the final of the Youth FA Cup. Donn plans to buy it for training, but Roy Keane doesn't talk about any kindness about friends at this time - he will never sell it.

However, Tang En was already very satisfied. Considering the "6+5" policy that began to be implemented in 2012, Tang En's goal of buying people this time was aimed at England. He believes that as long as these young players are well trained, they will be down-to-earth and less "gratitude" about their injuries.

After all, the potential is there.

Unlike the Forests who have been busy buying players in the transfer market in the past few seasons, the summer of 2009 was in July. As soon as the Nottingham Forest Club announced that it would not buy new players. The team's roster has also been officially confirmed.

This news surprised the English media.

After all, look at what players the Forest team has introduced this summer?

John Bostoke, Nicklas Milan, Adriano Mok, Chris Cohen, who were directly drawn from the youth team, can only be regarded as a new player to be introduced.

Former Lechester City left-back Joe Matok was introduced for free, and two million pounds were bought from Charlton to England's Under-16 national captain Jonho Shelvey. Three million pounds were introduced to Crystal Palace's talented striker Victor Moses.

Gabriel Abanglaho, who was introduced by £16 million, became the highest transfer expenses for Forest this summer. He is also considered by the media to be the only player who has the ability to gain a foothold in Forest and may have a good performance in the Premier League. Because he has proved his ability in Aston Villa, he does not need to prove anything in Nottingham Forest.

The firm "Donn Black" warrior Carl Spike spoke in his column to mock Tony Donn. This summer was like a joke.

"...Marrying a supermodel girlfriend, it's lively. The big fuss is held, I wish the whole world could see him kissing Shania. The new player for the Forest team was relentless, saving the club money on it. Look at the people he bought... Only Abanglaho, I agree, and the others are in my eyes... If Mr. Tangen made up his mind to sell these young people in the future and make a difference, I would like to make a difference for Tony.

Mr. Donn applauded with his outstanding economic vision. Everyone knows that Nottingham Forest Club has a difficult life. Their stadium has just been laid and was thrown at Clifton, as if he was grinning and mocking the American boss for overestimating his abilities. The club needs money now, what should I do? Sell players. Dig up young players who seem to have great potential from everywhere. Training for a few seasons, and then selling at a high price... It's really a good business.

But if Mr. Tang En wants to rise again with these players or achieve some decent results.  I’m sorry, please allow me to laugh for three minutes first.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

This article is full of sarcasm and ridicule, as well as distrust. There are even some insulting column comments, which immediately aroused a strong response after being published in the Daily Telegraph.

Everyone knows that Carl Spike and Donn have old grudges. But in this article, he still says very well what he says in this article.

Leaving Pique, Bentner, Ribery, Van der Fate, and Al Shavin's team is too young and too uncompetitive... George Wood is certainly worthy of everyone's trust, Gareth Bale and Pepe have long proved their abilities.

But it is hard to say whether Thiago is really suitable for Nottingham Forest.

Tang En insisted on giving Jikic a chance to continue proof, which also made people a little worried. After all, he didn't miss anyone.

Eastwood's ankles and knees were fragile and he didn't know when he would be lying on the operating table again.

Shahin? That kid hasn't proved on the Forest team whether he has really returned to his pre-injury level and his performance is not stable. Of course, objectively speaking, this is also related to the poor condition of the Forest team last season.

Petrov? He is a little old, his speed is not as fast as before, and his offensive methods are too monotonous.

Chris Commons? Well, honestly, we're almost forgotten...

Although Tony Donn calls him "Arsenal Wenger of England", he is very different from Wenger, and Nottingham Forest is not Arsenal. Even Arsenal, look at the result of their youth team playing in various fronts last season? The league championship was not won, the Champions League championship was not won, the League Cup quarterfinals were eliminated, and the FA Cup was stopped in the semi-finals... For teams who want to win the championship, being too young is not a good thing, even if the head coach has twenty-three talented and potentially -10 talented young men, it is not possible.

When winning the championship, what is needed is not talent or exciting genius, but stable performance and rich experience. Of course luck is also indispensable.

If Tony Tangen really wants to rely on these young boys to revive his title, he will be a little more whimsical to defend his title!

We don't mind laughing at him when he fails. Anyway, he now has a nuclear-powered heart, and even if it stops urgently, he can still be saved.

He will not die.

Tony Tangen is a disaster. The disaster is usually a long life...
Chapter completed!
