Godfather Of Champions

Dunn’s feet have just set foot on British soil, and the transfer negotiations and supporting work between the Nottingham Forest Club and the Portuguese Porto Club on Pepe are already in progress.

In addition to the negotiations between the two clubs, there is another issue that cannot be ignored-Pepe's labor certification. Because although Pepe has played in Portugal for many years, he still only has Brazilian nationality and belongs to a non-EU player. He has not played for the Brazilian national team so far. Naturally, it does not meet the requirement to represent his country's national team in International A. Level events meet the standard of 75%. If there is no problem between the two clubs and the three players, but in the end it is stuck on the labor certificate, I am afraid Dunn will be vomiting blood. When playing FM, he has encountered such problems.

To his comfort, Pepe's Portuguese citizenship application has been submitted.

If Portugal does not apply, Dunn has one last resort-the special genius clause. His only concern is that since the birth of this clause, it seems that no defensive player has successfully applied for... and Dunn feels upset at the thought of dealing with disgusting England FA officials. As he spends more time in the UK, and as his contact with the English Football Association increases, he feels more and more expensive as the “Birthplace of Modern Football” and “the world's first professional football management organization”. The England Football Association and the Chinese Football Association have very similar disgusting aspects in many ways.

Pedigree, stupid, stubborn, self-righteous, bureaucratic, backward ideas, arrogant... these are the "seven deadly sins" of the FA.

Unless absolutely necessary, Dunn didn't want to have any intersection with the gang of officials.

As Jorge Mendes said, Porto did not block the transfer of a fourth substitute central defender, and the price was exactly 4 million euros. The two sides did not waste time on the transfer fee. Go directly to the step of negotiating personal conditions with the players.

For personal conditions or something, Dunn had already negotiated with Mendes, and Pepe authorized Mendes to be fully responsible for all his negotiations. The next thing is very simple. Peppa flew to Nottingham, England, accompanied by Mendes, and then received a comprehensive physical examination at the Forest Club. The results of the physical examination surprised the professional sports medicine experts. To use Fleming’s words to Dunn is:

"This kid, he doesn't seem to be very strong, but he is actually almost perfect. There is a terrifying power in his body."

Mendes has confidence in his players and is equally happy to hear this evaluation.

After passing the medical examination, the two parties can formally sign the contract, and then the transfer is officially announced.

After signing the contract, Dunn held Pepe's hand: "Welcome to Nottingham Forest, Pepe."

"Mr. Dunn, I am also very happy to play with you."

"Don't call me Mr. Dunn, call me the boss, or the boss." Dunn patted Pepe's thick shoulders. "In England, players call me coaches that way. You have to get used to it."

"Okay... Boss." Peipei's round face smiled a little silly.

"You can go on holiday. The players' holidays are not over. In addition, if you have any requirements for the house you will live in in the future, you can also tell us that the club will consider it when looking for a house for you." Ellen, who was next to Dunn, stood up and said.

Pepe did not expect that the club had already considered all these issues just after signing. He looked at the club marketing manager Allen with some surprise. Dunn smiled and said: "The club has someone responsible for your life. You don't have to worry about your life here. You need to do one thing-play football, play well. I believe you will like it here. "

"I already like this place, boss." (Note 1)

Everyone in the room laughed.

Evan once carefully analyzed the gap between the forest team and other giants in the competitiveness of players and the cultivation of loyalty. Relying on the glorious history and influence in football to attract players and retain players Obviously the Forest team is not the opponent of other giants. Relying on huge wages to retain and attract players... Evan is not Abramovich. Finally, after deliberation, at this stage, I am afraid that only a few small details can be made to make the players feel that this club is truly for their sake and is a club worthy of their contribution.

The idea was the same time that Dunn asked Evan to pay for Wood’s mother to treat the illness in the name of the club and arrange a place for the Wood family, which inspired Evan. Afterwards, Evan also saw the effect. Just spending some money to treat illnesses and improving an apartment allowed the club to harvest a powerful midfielder that has rapidly emerged in England, making Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and other giants greedy. ——The Forest Team also has something that makes those giants jealous.

Although the goal of the Forest team is to become a giant in G14, the Forest team is still an out-and-out small club. Evan admits this, so he has to do a lot of work. Dunn’s task is to lead the team to train and play games. Allen is responsible for making money. As the chairman, he naturally has to use his brains in running the club.

Dunn knows that Pepe is a player who values ​​family more. If he is allowed to stay in the hotel in Nottingham Forest, it will definitely affect his performance. Find him a fixed residence, even if it's just rent, it can stabilize Pepe's state. The club considers these trivial matters as much as possible and handles them properly. Only when Pepe these foreign players can devote all their energy to the training field, they can better contribute to the team.

Dunn often said on the training ground: details determine success or failure.

Deal with every detail in the training, then wait until the game, the players have done every detail of themselves, the victory is natural-unless the luck is too bad.

This sentence also applies to club management and management. Evan hopes that the Forest team will become the most special of the 20 Premier League clubs, not only by performance, but also by other differences.

Just think about why Barcelona can make Messi willing to stay there, not only because they are giants, but also because the club paid for the cure of Messi’s dwarfism and found a job for Messi’s father in the club. , Solved the economic difficulties. In the same situation, there is Dos Santos. The FC Barcelona paid for the education of the Dos Santos brothers and provided them with a home for their family. These more humane details may seem inconspicuous. When everyone pays attention to the talented performances of those talented players, few people can know how much effort the club has spent behind them. But when these details are accumulated one by one, at the moment of need, it will produce amazing power, which is-loyalty.

After becoming the president of the club, Evan carefully studied the history and stories behind almost all successful clubs in Europe. He analyzed it from the perspective of a corporate person and believed that every successful club is actually a company-the Premier League clubs are all limited liability companies. However, they are somewhat different from companies in the ordinary sense because the projects and customer groups they operate are quite special.

Since it is a company, it must have a corporate culture, which is the temperament of a club. Any successful club will have something different from other clubs.

Nottingham Forest is not like Real Madrid, which has a continuous glorious history and global prosperous prestige. It cannot take glory and glory as the core of the club's foothold. They do not have a strong sense of regional identity like Barcelona or Athletic Bilbao. No matter how good their performance is, there will always be a large number of diehard supporters. They are not as good as Liverpool's glorious KOP grandstand tradition, with ups and downs, ups and downs in the past.

After carefully studying the club history of Nottingham Forest, Evan was disappointed. Except that the history is old enough, they have nothing to run through. Winning the glory of the European Champions Cup for two consecutive years is not so much the era of a club, as it is the era of one person-the era of Brian Clough. In addition, the characteristics of the Forest team have been vaguely indistinguishable in the more than 140 years since the establishment of the club.

Evan once discussed this issue during dinner with Alan and Dunn. When he was distressed and the Forest team had nothing to draw out of the characteristics, Dunn awakened the dreamer with a single sentence: Isn't it better to have no characteristics? Just like a piece of white paper, you can draw and write whatever you want. We will start from scratch and build this club completely according to your ideas, putting your personal mark on it. A few years later, when people think of Nottingham Forest, they will definitely say that the history of Nottingham Forest is written by you. Isn't this more fulfilling than following the previous tradition?

Evan was inspired, he felt that although Nottingham Forest is now a small club-there is nothing embarrassing-but small has small benefits. Every time he sees Tony joking with the players on the sidelines of the training court, he will also follow in his office. Nottingham Forest, with a history of more than 140 years, is now an uncompromisingly young team. From the club chairman, to the team head coach, to the average age of the team, they can all be ranked in the 20s. The first in the youngest Premier League team. A young team, full of vigor and hope, under the leadership of a very capable head coach, unite and attack each goal. There is no intrigue in the rich clubs, and everyone's faces are full of With a bright smile, isn't it good?
