Chapter 85: Temptation from Italy

The highlights of Nottingham Forest’s past few seasons are being played on the big screen TV, but the protagonist is only one person.

"George Wood! He is really the sea-stabilizing needle of Nottingham Forest! Beautiful snatching behind the snatch, no foul at all, clean and neat!"

"It's George again! Where did he come out? He appeared next to Rikelme without knowing it, and he made a fuss! It was broken!"

"He is chasing back... very fast! It's amazing explosive power! Flying tackle! He fouled! But he stopped Manchester United's quick counterattack, and it's worth it even if he takes the cards!"

"Sidville and him had a head-on collision. I think Sidville must have thought he had hit a wall! George Wood did not move at all, the ball was cut off by him, and the defensive position was very good!"

"He completely frozen Kaka, and the Brazilian seemed to have disappeared under his close guard..."

"Fabregas! Oh... he couldn't pass the football because he was knocked down by Wood. It was so unfriendly...Fabregas protested to the referee on the ground, and George Wood turned around and ran away."

"Cristiano Ronaldo! This is a counterattack from Manchester United. He dribbled the ball on the wing! No one can stop him... No! George Wood, he posted it up. Ronaldo tried to get rid of him, but the fake moves were ineffective against him! Beautiful defense!"

"Shot!! The ball went in! George Wood - World Wave! He saved England, he saved Capello! St. George bless England!!"

The passionate voice of the commentator was still echoing in the dim room, but everyone present took their eyes off the TV screen.

"Our new goal." A bald man in the middle said to everyone present. "He is simply unparalleled. After following him for two years, Cesar told me that I believe his vision."

An old man named "Cesar" stood up. He is the chief scout who is responsible for the introduction of defensive players in AC Milan. Former AC Milan captain and legendary Paul Martini's father Cesar Martini.

"What I show you are all videos of his game that I have carefully edited. The video shows how good his defensive level is. He mainly benefits from his physical fitness. He has many nicknames in the UK, almost all targeting his perverted body. He is almost never injured... No, he is indeed never injured, has a stable state, has a solid basic skills, and has a good mentality. There have never been any rumors that he has had conflicts with his teammates and coaches. I think he is a local man from technology to tactics, and even player temperament that meets AC Milan's requirements."

But the head coach of the team, Carol Ancelotti, who was sitting opposite, did not think so.

"I don't think Tony Don will let their captain leave. And George Wood is a very loyal player. This transfer operation is too difficult."

Bald Galliani laughed: "This is not something you need to worry about, Carol. We only need one thing to determine now, that is, Gatuso's state can no longer meet our requirements, we just need a 'new Gatuso'."

Ancelotti hesitated for a while, then nodded: "We do need a defensive midfielder, but I think it's too difficult to introduce George Wood..."

Galliani was a little unhappy: "So do you have any recommended candidates, Carlo?"

"Brasi or Mariga, Samarco is also a good choice..." Ancelotti just reported these three names and was interrupted by the old man Braida next to him.

"Naples ask for a price is too high. We have been talking about Brassi for a whole year and there is no progress. If the Naples requirements are met, I think we will buy George. Wood is almost the same. Maliga? I think he just has great potential. We need to be a player who can be competent for the middle and long-term players when we come. Maliga is not qualified. As for Samarco. He doesn't want to come back himself, what can we do?"

Braida is an official who is specialized in the transfer affairs of AC Milan, and his words are more authoritative than Galliani.

Ancelotti was not willing to be persuaded like this. He retorted: "The problem of George Wood is not a transfer fee. It is the same as 30 million or 50 million. The key is his own attitude and Tony Don... Do you think Tony Don is a good person to talk to?"

Galliani didn't expect that it would eventually turn into a quarrel-like situation. He waved his hand impatiently and signaled Braida to close his just-open mouth.

"I said, Carol. That's not a problem you should worry about. Just lead the team to train and play. Leave it to me and Braida and me."

Braida is the "transfer king" in AC Milan. At the age of 63, he has brought many classic transfers to AC Milan, such as bringing Rijkaard to AC Milan. Shepchenko, who is still playing in Eastern Europe, is a senior scout and negotiating expert.

But a year ago he had retreated from the position of AC Milan's general manager. This time, Galliani invited him back for George Wood.

His meaning is obvious-I certainly knew it was difficult to buy George Wood, so I brought Braida here.

Ancelotti looked at the three people opposite who were obviously standing together, pursing her lips and silenced.

At the end, everyone unanimously decided to specialize in George Wood for the rest of the time, and at all costs, he would win this defensive midfielder that is now popular all over the world.

Since Gattuso experienced that severe injury in the winter of 2008, his condition has declined very quickly. Now this Milan midfielder Iron Gate can only appear on the bench, and his willpower is as strong as before. But his physical and technical aspects are not as good as before. Most of the time, he has the will but lacks strength. His beard was once a symbol of strength and courage, but now it only makes people feel vicissitudes.

There is a Nigerian young player Chinoye in the AC Milan youth team. He was once called the "new Marklele" and was once tempted by Manchester United. At that time, Ancelotti insisted on staying in the team and using him as Marklele's successor. But the actual situation was a failure. Chinoye did not become the second Marklele, and he was lost in everyone's expectations. It was also this incident that disappointed AC Milan's senior management. Galliani became increasingly distrustful of Ancelotti. So this time he decided to forcefully intervene in introducing George Wood.

Of course he knew it was not easy to introduce George Wood, let alone to "pull teeth" from Tony Tangen.

This time he decided to let Braida come forward and open a breakthrough from George Wood's agent.

Billy Woox was a celebrity in the fashion industry, but it was surprising that he suddenly changed his career to become a sports agent. But his popularity in Milan City was still there. Galliani and Woox had several chances to meet, and they were also "friends". He believed that it was right for him and Braida to start from Billy Woox. Whether George Wood could successfully join AC Milan was the key.

"Hey, George! Guess where am I?" The old and inappropriate voice of agent Billy Wood came from Wood's phone.

Wood is not the one who can play such boring games with others. He asked, "Is there anything wrong, Wood?"

"I had a cup of coffee in Milan with a friend. We talked about you, who do you guess that person is?"

"who?"

"Galliani, AC Milan's No. 2 person."

"Oh." George Wood responded without continuing to ask questions.

Woods has long been used to Wood's way of thinking, adding: "He is very interested in you and wants to hear if you are willing to play football in Milan."

"Ac Milan?" George Wood's impression and feeling about most of the world's wealthy clubs may make these clubs angry because he wouldn't be surprised when he heard their names. In his heart, all teams are the same. "Why should I go there to play football?"

"They promised to give you a higher salary than in Nottingham Forest and gave up all your portrait rights."

In Nottingham Forest, after several contract renewals, George Wood's weekly salary is now 100,000 pounds, and Beckham and Ribery left the team one after another. After the older Vanny accepted the new contract, he has become the highest salary in the team. At the same time, half of his portrait rights belong to Nottingham Forest - if it weren't for Billy Woods, he wouldn't even get that half.

George Wood is not a fool. He can still tell which side gives more money. But...

"I think I've made enough money now, Woox."

It seemed as if Wood had expected that he would say this, and Wux laughed on the other end of the phone: "There is another condition, do you want to listen?"

"Um?"

"They answered to use the power of AC Milan to treat your mother. It was a more detailed and professional treatment than the Nottingham Forest did."

Wood was silent.

After hanging up the phone, Wood went to the kitchen to help his mother. Sophia asked the phone number just now: "Mr. Wux called?"

"Well. He told me that there are several more clubs interested in me."

"Did you promise him?" Sophia asked with a cough.

"No." Wood's lips squirmed and replied.

Sophia didn't say anything. She just reached out and tugged on Wood's messy hair.

Tang En was as surprised as if he had discovered a new world. He found that George Wood had been absent-minded in training in recent days and his condition had also declined in a rare state!

He was not worried at first, but was happy about this discovery.  Because George Wood was finally getting closer to humans.   At least, his condition would be ups and downs, rather than stable, making people bored and desperate.

So he joked about Wood during training and excitedly announced to the people around him.

"Hey, George! Are you in love? Which girl do you like? Let me introduce it."

Wood gave him a cold face.

"Okay, I respect your personal privacy.  When you feel the time is ripe.   It's okay to introduce it to me."

After he was so angry, even the people in the team thought that George Wood was really in love. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain his absent-mindedness recently. You should know that in the past, he was always the one who was the most serious and demanding of himself.

This situation lasted for several days. Until one morning, when Tony Tangen was still in bed and was warm with Shania, he received a call.

Tang En, who was interrupted by others, certainly would not have a good temper: "I don't care who you are. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation... it's only half past six!"

He heard Pierce Bruce's voice: "I just heard this news, Tony. I think I need to tell you. Have you heard of it?"

"What?" Tang En was completely confused by this man's speechlessness.

"Acc Milan is interested in George Wood's..."

Tang En said excitedly: "Why is it that big deal? Isn't there any rumors every summer? To be honest, Mr. Journalist, if George Wood is not loved and sought after by those flies, he will not be George Wood."

Bruce quickly explained: "No, I mean they came to be serious."

"They need to find a successor to Gattuso, I understand..." Tang En still didn't take it seriously and lay back on the bed. His fingers were not honest and circled back and forth on Xianya's smooth and flat belly.

"They have privately contacted George's agent Billy Woods."

"I knew that old man was not honest. But it was useless for him to say it, so George Wood had to nod."

Xianya watched Tang En's hand move down little by little, and move to the edge of her white underwear. She seemed to have treated Tang En's hand as a little bug crawling around her body, and was studying it very seriously.

"Ah, this is what I want to tell you..." After wandering around for a long time, Bruce remembered what the theme was. "I heard from my Italian media friend tell me that AC Milan took a lot of effort to get the players' consent. She prepared George Wood's mother for surgery and treatment, and the club would bear all the costs!"

Tang En's hands were about to pry open his underwear and enter the peach blossom land, but he suddenly took it back.

"What did you say?" He sat up from the bed.

No one knows better what Sophia means to George Wood than him.   When the Forests signed the first professional contract with Wood, the club paid for Sophia to undergo a surgery.   The treatment was made, and since then, Wood was loyal to Nottingham Forest and gradually grew into a flagship figure in Nottingham Forest in the years to come.

But he really never thought another club would do the same thing to Wood.

He knew that Sophia's disease was actually incurable, and various diseases had accumulated in this weak and strong woman for a long time. She had already been hollowed out. The only reason to support her was that she couldn't bear to leave her son. So the club did not continue to treat Sophia later. Anyway, George Wood earned enough money to buy medicine to continue treatment.

But it is not ruled out that George still has fantasies deep in his heart. If he had more money, better professional equipment, better doctors and medicines, and better hospitals, he could save his mother's life.

So where to play football, not?

He suddenly understood why George Wood looked wrong these days.

"I'm so stupid..." Tang En murmured.

"Uncle Tony?" Shania raised her head from the side and looked at Tang En strangely.

"Tony?" Bruce asked from the other end of the phone.

There is only one person in this world who can make Wood restless. He is definitely not a beautiful girlfriend. It is not a high salary contract. He only cares about his mother. There are only two people in his world, he and his mother. This is something he had understood long ago, if he had noticed it earlier...

"Okay, thank you for telling me this, Bruce! I allow you to enter the training ground for an interview alone!" After Yun Nuo gave Bruce relevant rewards, he hung up the phone and planned to call George Wood.

But the number was halfway through. He put down his cell phone again.

"It's only seven o'clock now..." He turned his head to look at the clock. "Things are over. It's no difference between getting earlier or later..." After saying that, he lay down again. But the hand no longer took risks to Xianya without being honest.

"If you are in a hurry to find George, why not drive to his house to pick him up before training? Then you have a lot of time to chat in private on the way." Shania suddenly said.

Tang En turned his head and glanced at his wife, "This is such a good idea! To thank you, Shania..."

Shania glanced at him: "I'm not honest again... I really suspect that you are only twenty years old, Uncle Tony..."

Tang En smiled and hugged Shania in his arms: "Your Uncle Tony, but you have a heart that never tires away!"

Shania's young, healthy and energetic body snuggled up to his arms, making him feel like she was on her honeymoon every day.
