Chapter 478 Volume [-] Storming the New and the Old

"Nottingham Forest brought in former Manchester United striker Luther van Nistelrooy for 500 million. This deal has unexpectedly succeeded..."

"Tony Twain made a big move! Van Nistelrooy signed a four-year contract with the Forest team. For the Premier League teams, this is not good news..."

"The fans of Nottingham Forest said they were very happy to see the manager bring a world-class striker to the team..."

"Although our striker is not weak, who wouldn't want to see it get stronger? We welcome Ruud van Nistelrooy with all our hands."

"According to the marketing department's survey, Ruud van Nistelrooy's arrival has greatly stimulated the club's jersey sales, and 720 jerseys with the Dutch name and number printed on them were sold in one day! This is a very surprising number ..."

"...I think Ruud van Nistelrooy's arrival is just the first step in Tony Twain's ambitious plan. Nottingham Forest is not reconciled to last season's 'Double Asian Kings' results, they hope to make a breakthrough this season. And all last season Just like any team that performs well, the Forest team has increased their investment in the new season. The club owner certainly hopes to get a return on the money invested, but I have seen too many teams that quickly lost after increasing their investment. I hope Twain's team will not be so mediocre..."

"This is one of the most noteworthy transfers of the summer. Ruud van Nistelrooy has not left England, he has chosen to stay in the Premier League, and we think Nottingham Forest and Manchester United will be interesting in the new season... "

"After Chelsea bought Shevchenko and Newcastle bought Martins, the Forest team introduced Van Nistelrooy from Manchester United. This season's Premier League will be very interesting..."

……

Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer to Nottingham Forest has dropped a blockbuster in the transfer market this summer.

Such a reaction can be caused because of the results of Nottingham Forest last season, which makes people imagine.Such generosity must be due to great ideals.Nottingham Forest is expanding its strength, can those competitors not feel panic and suspicion?
"World Soccer" magazine just said that the Forest team is a strong team in the special plan for the new season, and Tang En proved the truth of this authoritative magazine's words with practical actions.

In the past two seasons, the people bought by the Forest team may have very good strength, but they have always been inferior in terms of their respective reputations. Anelka is the most famous person, but he is not the most famous in world football. Top.Ruud van Nistelrooy is different. Before he was 30 years old, he won numerous individual and collective honors, including the top scorer in the Eredivisie, the top scorer in the Premier League, the top scorer in the Champions League, the best player in the Premier League, The Dutch player of the year, these individual honors are like a beautiful halo surrounding the Dutchman, colorful and dazzling.These honors are incomparable to Anelka.

Anelka received the most comments about "how talented", and Ruud van Nistelrooy may not be considered a talented player, but he actually held these honors in his hands.

Because Brazil's famous striker Romario has a nickname - "King of the restricted area", so Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is also good at scoring goals, got a very similar nickname - "King of the small restricted area", this nickname is very vivid This revealed the characteristics of Ruud van Nistelrooy. He is a pure shooter who is more threatening the closer he is to the goal.

But in comparison, Tang En prefers to call him a natural goal machine.

He just likes killers who are as ruthless as machines.

Tang En was very happy to see that Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer had caused such a big reaction in the media. Not only the media in Nottingham were reporting this matter, but the sports media in England, Europe, and the world were more or less reported the transfer.

His first goal was achieved.Why did he insist on spending £500m on Ruud van Nistelrooy instead of looking for a younger player with more potential but lesser name and less expensive?If it is the latter, then the current effect will not be achieved.The reaction of the media is what Tang En values ​​most.

He needs someone to put pressure on Anelka.If it is not enough weight, then there is no threat to Anelka.

It is different now.

He has repeatedly mentioned Van Nistelrooy as his favorite and admired striker on various occasions. Coupled with Van Nistelrooy's name, it is enough to make Anelka feel uneasy.

The team has been re-training for three days. Anelka was not late when he returned to the team, and he came to training on time every day.But Tang En didn't take the initiative to find him, nor did he intend to talk to Tang En.There is nothing else except silent training and returning to the residence every day.

Anelka is a somewhat taciturn person in the team, so his performance is normal in everyone's eyes.Tang En could see it all...

On the second day of the press conference, Van Nistelrooy appeared at Nottingham Forest's training ground Wilford.

Twain personally brought Van Nistelrooy here, which showed how much he valued this new player.

"I would like to introduce a new friend to everyone..." Dunn pointed to Van Nistelrooy who was standing beside him. "Actually, there is no need to introduce it. Everyone is familiar with it. He has been our opponent for two seasons."

Speaking of this, Tang En coughed twice: "I say everyone, revenge for those who have revenge!"

Ruud van Nistelrooy looked surprised, but there were bursts of laughter in the team.

Assistant coach David Chris Lack patted Ruud van Nistelrooy on the shoulder: "Don't worry, he is such a dishonest person."

Realizing it was just a joke, Van Nistelrooy also laughed.Introducing myself to new teammates in this way, there is really no embarrassment at all.After all, they have been rivals for two seasons, and everyone will be somewhat unable to get out of their old roles when they meet.Tang En broke the relationship directly by joking, but it made everyone feel relieved.

"Hi everyone, I will play football with you for the next four years." Ruud van Nistelrooy greeted generously, and received enthusiastic responses from his teammates.

It was the same as what he had heard, but different from some of the rumors he had heard.

If a person only relies on knowing Nottingham Forest from the media, then he must be very confused-what kind of team is this?
Some media promote the Forest team as a team that is united inside and outside, while some media describe the Forest team as a mess of conflicts.

Some media say that the head coach of the team, Tony Twain, is a talented young coach with charisma and leadership, while some media think that Tony Twain is arrogant, defiant, self-abased to conceited, difficult to Get along, have a bad temper, often beat and scold players, obstruct the freedom of the press... a villain with such bad deeds.

These completely opposite and extremely extreme evaluations did not allow Ruud van Nistelrooy to come to the conclusion of "Who is Twain?" too big.

When Manchester United played, Nottingham Forest was his opponent, and the opponent would always be described as a hideous demon.He is more inclined to those who have bad reviews.But now, from what he saw with his own eyes, Tony Twain was not a bad tempered coach who was difficult to get along with, and Nottingham Forest was not a group where everyone was intriguing and forming cliques.

After being able to see it with his own eyes, he didn't believe the media's evaluation.

He thinks the team has a great atmosphere and he's happy to stay here for another four years.

Everyone will face various choices at any time, Van Nistelrooy thought, maybe four years later, he would not regret the choice he made today.

Twain patted Van Nistelrooy awake from behind: "Go, get ready for training."

Ruud van Nistelrooy walked towards the team and was greeted by team captain Albertini.

"What I want to say is what they also want to say. Welcome, opponent... now a teammate, Luther."

In the warm welcome atmosphere, Tang En didn't keep his eyes on Van Nistelrooy, he was staring at Anelka.

Anelka didn't know that Tang En was looking at him, and all his attention was on his new teammates.

He is not an idiot, of course he knows what the team intends to buy a world-class striker at this time.

During the time his agent brother met with Benitez, his mobile phone was kept off on purpose.Because he knew that Dunn would definitely call him, so he turned off the phone.Afterwards, he thought that after the team's training camp started, Tang En would talk to him about that matter.Unexpectedly, Twain completely ignored him, and instead directly bought a strong competitor Ruud van Nistelrooy from the transfer market.

It seems that Ruud van Nistelrooy is more popular with his teammates than when he first joined the team...

He turned his gaze away from Ruud van Nistelrooy and turned to head coach Tony Twain.He saw Tang En talking to the two assistant coaches with a smile, was he happy for the new players?
※ ※ ※

"Tony, Anelka is watching you." Tang who was chatting suddenly said.

Tang En nodded, but did not turn his gaze to Anelka: "I know."

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, Tony." Chris Rack glanced at the French shooter, but he just glanced over the French shooter's face without stopping, "You bought Van Nistel?" Rui, what are you going to do with Anelka?"

"It's been cold for a while. Is there a club coming to us now to make an offer for Anelka?"

Chris Lark shook his head: "No. Liverpool seems to be really not interested in Anelka. I really don't know how his two brothers talked to each other..."

Tang En chuckled: "Anelka and his two broker brothers are well-known. It is not easy to find a buyer who is no worse than us."

If the Forest team does not achieve the kind of results last season, then Anelka will easily find a new club.However, the league runner-up and the Champions League runner-up have set a high bar in Anelka's heart. If he transfers again, he will definitely not accept invitations from those clubs whose performance is not as good as Forest's, but those who can compete in terms of team strength. How many wealthy clubs on a par with the Forest team hope to find such a ticking time bomb?
At the beginning, Anelka played for Liverpool briefly for half a season. He was loaned out, and his performance in Liverpool was also remarkable. Just when everyone thought that Houllier would choose to join Anel after the end of the season When Ka signed the transfer contract, he abandoned this rebellious striker and found another French compatriot Cisse...

Why?The inside story behind this is unknown, but Tang En believes that it must have something to do with Anelka's difficult personality and two greedy brothers.

Anelka's success at Forest suddenly made him more attractive to other teams, but it was a double-edged sword.At the same time, his personal treatment requirements have been greatly improved.In the past, he could still accept the reality of playing for Manchester City, but now, except for the top five in the Premier League, other teams may not be able to catch his eye.

As for foreign leagues... The teams in the Spanish League have no interest in this striker, and neither does the Bundesliga. Perhaps only the French League is still full of expectations for this quasi-world-class striker from France. Of course, the Turkish League The Fenerbahce club is now regretful, but they want to bring Anelka to Turkey again, it must be an impossible task.

In Serie A, after Juventus was punished for relegation, Inter Milan became the biggest beneficiary. They not only won the long-lost league championship trophy, but also received many players from Juventus, including the young talent striker Ibrahimovic Rasimovic, plus the Argentine striker Crespo on loan from Chelsea, and their original strikers Cruz, Adriano...etc., Inter Milan does not lack strikers, even to give the bloated striker " Lose weight", they also sold Martins to Newcastle.

Rome is powerless and has no money to buy.

But AC Milan... This point is still the same as Twain remembered, Shevchenko has switched to Chelsea.In this way, AC Milan has to look for a striker again. In fact, they have already started searching all over the world... At that time, will they find Oliveira who is not suitable for Serie A at all, or Anelka... Then Unknown.

It's just... Tang En heard some "gossip" recently. Someone told him that Anelka's two older brothers had appeared in Milan, Italy.As for whether they went there for shopping or to meet someone, Tang En didn't know.

"Okay, lads!" Chris Lack blew the whistle in his mouth, walked onto the court, and shouted loudly at the same time, "Chat time is over, start training!"

Under the leadership of the two assistant coaches and the coaching staff, the players returned to the training ground to start a new day of training.

Tang En stood alone on the sidelines and put on his sunglasses to block the harsh sunlight.No one knows who those eyes hidden behind the sunglasses are looking at at this moment... read!)
