Chapter 340 Volume [-] The Red Forest About Anelka
About the two brothers of French striker Nicolas Anelka's agent - Claudy Anelka and Didier Anelka, maybe everyone can't finish talking about them for three days and three nights .They are hated by almost all head coaches and club presidents and managers.The officials of the French Football Association treated the two Anelkas as if they were treating fraudsters and thieves, full of contempt and disdain.The media in England was more direct, calling them "parasites living around Anelka".
In world football, it is common for players to let their relatives and family members act as agents, such as French superstars Zidane and Djorkaeff, Brazilian stars Ronaldinho and Kaka, Dutch "Peter Pan" Robben... ...and so on, they all chose to let their elder brother or father be their agent, handle the contract with the club, and negotiate various endorsements.
In doing so, there is naturally a cost-saving idea in it. After all, "fertile water does not flow to outsiders' fields." Although there is no such saying abroad, the meaning is the same.However, compared with those professional agents, the family members of the players lack experience and theory, and they often lead the players astray and ruin their futures.
For example, here is a living example in front of you.
From Arsenal to Real Madrid in 1999, to 2005, five transfers in six years, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool... four of the few giants in continental Europe have him footprint.But joining so many big clubs is of no help to Anelka's career. His football resume is full of glorious names, but the only glory he has won is a Premier League double crown and Just Champions Cup.The lack of personal honor is not the most fatal, the most fatal is that with the frequent transfers, the greed of his two agent brothers has gradually been exposed, and now almost no club dares to ask for Anelka up.After the conflict with Keegan last season, no team dared to take such a person in the winter transfer period.
In the end, at the last moment of the transfer window closing, the Turkish Super League team Fenerbahçe announced the introduction of Anelka for 700 million pounds.
700 million!Sound like a lot?No, look at the prices of Anelka's several transfers: when he decided to leave Arsenal and his teacher Wenger who trained him, Real Madrid paid him 300 million pounds, the most among young players. expensive.At that time, he was radiant, no one else but me.At that time, he was hailed as the only striker who was comparable to Ronaldo in talent, and he was the most talented genius in French football in ten years.He later commented on his compatriot Henry: "What he is doing at Arsenal now, I did it when Anelka was 19 years old."

Later, he went to Paris Saint-Germain, and with a high salary, he became a "cancer" that would only cause trouble for the team.Went to Liverpool and had a brief recovery, but was abandoned by Houllier because of his two brothers' insatiable greed.Later, he settled in Manchester City for 300 million pounds. He thought he had finally found his roots this time. Unexpectedly, after a season, he had conflicts with the head coach again. This time when he was about to leave, his two The elder brother jumped out to associate him with Arsenal again, hoping to use this kind of hype to get a high status for his younger brother.But this time it didn't work. Both Wenger and the chairman of Arsenal stood up to refute the rumors that they had no intention of buying the Frenchman.In the end, they had no choice but to go to Turkey in desperation, away from the center of European football and people's sight, at a cost of only 700 million pounds.
"...Now, after staying in Turkey for half a season, have they finally realized that something is wrong?" Tang En looked at the name of the caller - Claude Anelka - with disdain after getting the call record road. "Their dear brother is out of the limelight, so they can't make more money? I remember that just five days ago, Fenerbahce club seemed to reject Newcastle's offer for him."
Evan Dalgety sat in his seat and reminded: "It's not a refusal. Newcastle asked for a price. They set a price of 2000 million pounds for the Frenchman, which scared Newcastle away."
Tang En shrugged: "It's just a disguised refusal, just like us. You say that a certain player is not for sale, but everyone keeps trying to inquire, and you take the trouble to ask, so you have to open a buyer who is destined to not be able to afford it or not to buy it." Pay the price you are willing to pay, so that those flies will retreat. Didn’t we also give George two trillion pounds?”
Speaking of this, Evan laughed: "Tony, did you know? In the latest FM series game released by SI, our team's George Wood is worth two trillion yuan in the worth column."
Hearing this news, Tang En was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Is this special care for our partners?"
Evan brought the conversation back to the topic: "What do you think, Tony? You are the head coach, the signing of the team, and Alan and I still have to listen to you." He said this, looking at the silent Ai Len glanced.
Tang En put the phone records back on the table, leaned back in the chair and answered very simply: "I have no idea, I refuse. I don't want to deal with this kind of greedy vampire."
Just when Evan was about to nod, Allen suddenly stretched out his hand: "Wait."
In Evan's office, there were only him, Tang En, and Alan. Alan, who had been frowning and thinking about his thoughts since he came in, suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the other two.
"Why don't you try it?" Allen looked up at the two people, and three pairs of eyes looked at each other.
"Try what?" After staring at each other for a while, Tang En first looked away.
"Talk to Anelka's agent brother."
Tang En waved his hand, and his movements were a little exaggerated: "Do you think this is a Turkish barbecue delivered to your door for free, Alan? Do you know what kind of people Anelka's two broker brothers are?"
Allen nodded: "I know, I studied the two of them before I came here."
This answer was somewhat beyond Tang En's expectations.When he received the news, he didn't even think about it, so he rejected it in his heart.Unexpectedly, Allen would study Anelka's two brothers specifically for this matter.
Opening his mouth in a daze for a while, Tang En could only use a dry smile to break up the embarrassing silence in the room.
Allen asked back: "Tony, do you have any suitable candidates for the team's striker signings?"
Tang En shook his head helplessly: "No, I don't like those who come, and I don't like those who can come."
"In this case, why don't we try? The new season is getting closer, instead of wasting time in the transfer market, try to contact Anelka's agent. I think...they just arrived in Turkey After half a season, he took the initiative to contact us, hoping to transfer, there must be something. Perhaps... this is more beneficial to us?"
"What can happen? Discord with the head coach Daum? Discord with the club chairman? But five days ago, the Turkish chairman of Fenerbahçe just showed that Anelka and him are very close..."
"Tony, do you know Figo and Redondo?" Allen asked Tang En unexpectedly again.
"Yes...Of course I know them. The former is a Real Madrid player now, and the latter is recuperating in AC Milan."
"Then what happened to you when they went from their original clubs to their new clubs?"
This question stopped Tang En from asking. He frowned and searched carefully in his mind, and then asked in an uncertain tone: "It seems that Figoli drove Barcelona to Real Madrid because he promised Real Madrid Chairman Florentino before that if He was elected, and he moved to Real Madrid. Redondo, I heard that it was because he stood on the wrong team in the Real Madrid presidential election and chose to support Sanz instead of Florentino?"
Allen laughed and said: "No, I'm not talking about this. I mean, do you still know the attitudes and remarks made by those people and clubs before and after the transfer?"
This time Tang En simply shook his head: "How can I remember this?"
"What a coincidence, when I checked the information about Anelka's agent yesterday, I found these old stories. On July 2000, 7, Figo, who had just performed well in the European Championship, publicly stated to the Barcelona fans He will not transfer to Barcelona, ​​let alone go to Real Madrid. His original words are this-" Allen rummaged through his folder, and then read, "I have made a decision that cannot be changed. I have decided that I will not be part of Real Madrid. If the fans are disappointed and disturbed by the rumors about me, then I ask their forgiveness. But they should believe what I say."
After reading, Allen looked up at Tang En.There was no need to say anything later, he believed that Tang En, who was a professional football coach, would know the outcome of the matter better than himself.
"Ten days later, Figo and Real Madrid signed a transfer contract worth 610 million U.S. dollars..." Tang En picked up Alan's words, and then sighed: "Okay, I know you The meaning. The club and the players are good at lying. The thing is this - the chairman of the Fenerbahce club said that Anelka is now enjoying life in Turkey, maybe just to make a reason for their price increase. They He really wanted to drive this troublesome Frenchman and those two greedy agents out of the club, but originally the Turk just wanted to get more money from Newcastle, who took advantage of him, but he didn't expect to be self-defeating, and really made the cowardly Shepard (Newcastle chairman) ) scared away."
Hearing Tang En's "story", Allen smiled happily: "This is a possibility. It may also be that those two greedy broker brothers are fighting for a higher salary for their cash cow, and then take us It's a cover - the whole of Europe knows that Nottingham Forest are looking for strikers everywhere - so that they can use it as a bargaining chip when they negotiate with Fenerbahce."
Evan Dalgety's applause sounded after Allen's voice fell: "Two wonderful stories, so which one is closer to the truth?"
"There are other possibilities, but this is not the point." Allen looked at the chairman of the club, his old partner. "The point is that since they came to contact us, we will talk to them, no matter what their motives are. We lack speed strikers now, isn't Anelka?" He turned to Dunn again.
Dunn nodded.
"Since Anelka is the type of striker we need..."
Tang En interrupted Allen: "It may not be what we need. A player like Anelka is very difficult to manage. He has a perverse and withdrawn personality. Coaches like Wenger and Bosque can't do anything about him. I think this The coach who can train him well in the world may not have been born yet. He is an indefinite time bomb in the locker room, a bad example and a negative factor on the training ground, and a venture capital that does not know whether to make a profit or lose money in the club's finances..."
Ai Lunfu interrupted Tang En again: "But we have you, Tony. Do you remember Rebrov? How did everyone evaluate him before you took office? Parallel imports! And then?" He looked at with a smile Dunn.
Tang En scratched his head: "You trust me that much?"
Evan also spoke: "Tony, to be honest, both Alan and I admire your way of managing the team. There have been no scandals or disputes in our locker room so far. Our team has such a good atmosphere. We and The relationship between the fans is so good ... I think it's all down to you."
Faced with this kind of blatant flattery, Tang En had long been used to it. He was so thick-skinned that he didn't even change his expression, so he accepted it graciously. "That's because the players on the team so far have been very good-natured..."
"George Wood can't be regarded as a good boy. Except for your words, he probably won't even obey me." Evan saw through Tang En's tricks.
Allen coughed: "Look, we have reached a consensus on your level. Well, since Anelka is the type of striker we need, why don't we try to contact his agent once? I I feel that despite his personality and those two older brothers, Anelka is still a very capable player."
"Compared to him five years ago, he is completely different..." Tang En muttered.
"But now he just meets your requirements-he can come, he can afford it." Although Allen still had a smile on his face, his attitude was already very tough-he didn't intend to give in.
Tang En pouted: "I don't want to deal with those two damn managers."
"Don't worry about it, Tony. It's up to me to deal with Anelka's agent, and I'm solely responsible. But you have to give me a promise, that is, if I succeed in signing the Frenchman, I hope you Will not refuse."
Twain gave up, and he sighed: "Well, since you want to cause trouble for yourself, then I won't stop you, Alan. I will give you this promise, as long as you can sign, there will be a lot of people in the team In his position, I will not do things that make it difficult for you. But... There is a Chinese saying that "ugly words come first." Whether he can be the main force depends on himself. Look at himself."
Allen nodded with a smile: "Of course." Then he turned to Evan.
Evan Dalgety thought about it: "Selling Crouch allows us to earn 1000 million. My standard for you is-the transfer fee cannot be higher than this figure."
"I bought it for 700 million and sold it for 1000 million after half a season. The Turks have already made a lot of money." Tang En grumbled beside him. "I still want to remind you, be careful of those two managers...it gives me a headache just thinking about it."
Allen smiled: "It's just two gluttonous pigs, and they're still amateurs."
※ ※

In this way, the intention to contact Anelka's agent was confirmed. Tang En left all the troubles to Allen, and was busy leading the team to train and continuing to recruit additional recruits in other positions.No matter how Allen progresses, he has already made plans to rely on three forwards to support Eastwood until he returns from injury.Anyway, he didn't have any hope for Anelka's side. Even if he came, with those two broker brothers around, Tang En could not count on anything at all.
Allen has just returned from the United States and brought good news to the Forest Team. He has already negotiated a sponsorship contract with Nike.In the next five years, the famous sports brand Nike (NIKE) will become the forest team's jersey sponsor.Allen believes that it is the Forest team that has stepped into the European Champions Cup. If they still wear the British domestic sports brand UMBRO, on the one hand, it is not international enough, and on the other hand, UMBRO can not give as much money as Nike.
In fact, Tang En was more inclined to sign a jersey sponsorship contract with the well-known German sports brand Adidas, but Adidas' reaction to the cooperation with the Forest team was mediocre.Tang En also didn't want to put his hot face on someone's cold ass.Both Evan and Allen are from the United States, and they have a higher acceptance and acceptance of American sports brands.
This contract has brought the Forest team an income of 500 million pounds over five years. For the Forest team, which needs to challenge for higher honors and thus invest a large amount of attitude, it will undoubtedly make them harden their backs in the transfer market. many.
There may be minor differences like the treatment of Anelka, but Tang En feels that the cooperation between the three of them is obviously successful.Allen brought him a lot of money, and Evan coordinated the operation of the entire club, playing various roles between him and Allen-mediator, friend, listener... Of course, the most important thing is the decision-maker.
After seeing the new sponsorship contract brought by Allen, Dunn sometimes thought—maybe Allen could really subdue Anelka's two broker brothers, just like Allen himself said: One side is a professional player, the other side is an amateur player.
