Godfather Of Champions

Although Shania was forced to dress herself up, the two-day vacation was still very pleasant for Dunn. He really hates being forced to do things by others, but he has to be divided into objects. What the little girl forced him... he didn't mind.

As long as it can make Shania happy, what's the contribution?

The seventeen-year-old Shania has to take on the responsibilities of work at a young age, doing work that she doesn't like, and maybe only time with herself when she can make him smile.

In front of others, he must be a world-class model, pay attention to his image, pay attention to his own words and deeds, and even keep his facial expressions at all times, in order to maintain a perfect image under the gaze from which he doesn’t know where to take the photo—this is them Hope is the perfect image, not the real Shania.

Only in front of Dun En, in front of the man she called "Uncle Tony", could she put down those masks and live easily and truly.

The topic is a bit heavy, but it is true.

Dunn’s two-day holiday was over in the blink of an eye, and Shania will return to Milan, Italy to continue working.

At London Heathrow Airport, her agent, Mr. Faisal, thanked Dunn very solemnly and thanked him for having fun with Shania during the past two days.

"Where... I really want to relax too." Dunn smiled and waved, "When you stay with the little girl, you will forget all your worries. Mr. Faisal, although I hate the agent, you are different. You are a good agent. No matter how famous Shania is, she is still a child. Please protect her."

Fasal nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Dunn. The new season is about to begin, and good luck to you."

The two men held their hands together.

After sending away Shania and Fasal, Dunn sat on the steps outside the terminal building and called the taxi driver Randy and asked him to pick him up.

After hanging up the phone, Dunn sat on the steps bored and looked up at the sky.

Maybe you should really buy a car for yourself?

A huge roar sounded, and a silver-white plane flew in the sky directly above Dunn's head.

※※※

The idea of ​​buying a car only existed in Dunn's mind for one afternoon. When he went to the training base with Tang the next morning, he thought it was better to walk. On the one hand, he could exercise and he could think about problems while walking without worrying about a car accident.

The first thing in recovery training is to deal with the transfer. Anelka has not found a suitable new club, but Mark Viduka’s agent informed the club that his client hopes to transfer. The reason is simple, and Dunn also understands: Viduka has no place in this forest team now. He was unwilling to play as a substitute. So leaving is the best choice.

Viduka knew very well that when the club bought Van Nistelrooy, he knew that in this team, he could not have his own main position. He couldn't accept playing as a substitute, after all, he was still in his prime.

Dunn also knew that with Van Nistelrooy and Bendtner, Viduka's living space was getting smaller and smaller. Let him go and earn a transfer fee, which is not bad.

Middlesbrough wanted to introduce Viduka, and they offered a price of five million pounds. Dunn refused without saying anything.

What Viduka said was also the main forward of the Forest team in the previous two seasons. The forest team can have this result today, and Viduka's efforts are also inseparable. The second-ranked striker in the Premier League, worth only 5 million pounds? Dunn couldn't accept it.

However, he did not close the doors and windows of the transfer, but left Middlesbrough the opportunity to continue bargaining. He hoped that Fort Mi could continue to increase the offer. If you are sincere to Viduka, please make a sincere quotation!

At that time, Nottingham Forest bought Viduka for six million pounds. If you want to sell it, it can't be lower than this price.

Dunn's standard is less than six million pounds without talking.

After some bargaining, the two parties finally reached an agreement, Middlesbrough made a down payment of 4 million pounds, and then another two million and five million pounds in installments within twelve months, for a total price of 6.5 million, the purchase they liked Long-time Australian center Mark Viduka.

Next, Dunn loaned Chris Commmons to Watford, who had just been promoted to the Super League, hoping that Commmons could get enough playing time there. In order to appease Cummins, Dunn gave him a new four-year contract before deciding to loan him out. The salary is not high in the team, mainly to show the team's confidence and commitment to him-in the next four years, you will still be a member of Nottingham Forest.

It was not only Matthew Epson and Mark Viduka who were sold, but also Barry Roche, the second substitute goalkeeper of the Forest, who was sold to the British Championship for 2.7 million pounds. The team Leicester City. With Akinfeev's return a year later, the position of the goalkeeper is no longer in the Nottingham Forest.

After cleaning up these necessary redundant personnel, Dunn achieved the goal of streamlining the team's personnel while enhancing combat effectiveness. Those who stay now are bound to have strong players. Compared with the phenomenon that Premier League clubs generally register more than 30 people, Nottingham Forest, which has a large list of 23 first-line players, is a "small team". But Dunn is convinced that these 23 people are all good players, there are no people who ate in his place, and the ones who stayed must be useful to the team.

Just after finishing the team streamlining work, George Wood's agent came back again.

"I'm not here to inform the club that George is going to transfer, although I know that the team has sold some people recently." Sitting on the sofa in Dunn's office, the agent Wookes said leisurely with his legs up. "Now The Forest team has such a good momentum that a fool would consider a transfer."

This is the truth.

"However, as everyone knows, there are not a few big clubs that favor Wood in European football. But Wood refused one by one... Then." Woods put down his legs, stopped his waist, and said seriously, "In order to reward George. Shouldn’t the club show this kind of loyal behavior?"

After hearing these words, Dunn replied calmly: "Okay, how about sending him a box of milk for welfare tomorrow?"

"Mr. Tony Dunn!" Woods raised his voice.

"If you want a salary increase, just say it straight, there is no need to be so oblique." Dunn sneered at Wux's attitude.

Woods raised his legs again: "You know that. If you want to retain the important players of the team, then you need to improve his treatment, so that he feels that his efforts and gains are proportional."

"I think George is very satisfied with his current income."

"That's what you think." Woods did not show any weakness, "I still think his current salary is too low. What is the salary of the players selected for the national team, don't you know, Mr. Dunn?"

Generally speaking, once a player is successfully selected for the national team, even if he does not play a game, his worth will rise under the operation of the agent. The pay for going out to advertise and endorsement, the salary and bonuses within the team must all be increased. This is what Woods is doing now.

"Last season's Premier League second place, the captain of the UEFA Champions League runner-up team, was selected for the England national team, participated in the German World Cup, the team's most indispensable figure, the only core that cannot be rotated... Is it worth every Monday? Five thousand pounds? This number will make people laugh out loud, Mr. Dunn." Woods's words are sharp, and he is not inferior to Dunn in terms of lip service. "When you spend a lot of money in the transfer market to buy one famous star after another, don't you think about giving a new promise to the most diligent and important person in the team?"

Dunn stared at Wooks, but did not answer immediately.

He had to admit this in his heart-these words were impeccable. He could hardly find a reason to refute.

"But we just updated the contract..."

"That's not important. The value of players is always fluctuating. Who could have expected George to have what it is today a year ago? We obviously underestimated his abilities, so we underestimated his value. Now, it is correcting. It's time for this mistake."

Dunn sighed. Although this agent was hateful, he didn't sway George to consider leaving. In any case, Wood is the most important person in the Forest now, the team and his future. Evan once said that if Wood is tempted by the outside world, no matter what the price is, he must be kept.

The weekly salary of 15,000 pounds is indeed too low for Wood...

"Well, make your request, Lord Vampire Woods."

Hearing such ridicule, Billy Woods was not upset, but smiled and reported his request: "75 thousand pounds, weekly salary."

Despite being mentally prepared, Dunn took a breath when he heard the number.

"Are you surprised, Mr. Dunn?" Woods tilted his head and looked at Dunn. "I think this number is reasonable. Van Nistelrooy is currently the team's highest salary, 85,000 pounds. Is it the team's Shouldn't the captain enjoy almost the same treatment?"

"Do I have to thank you for not asking for a weekly salary of 140,000 pounds?" Dunn sneered.

"I don't want to break the wage balance of your club." Woods replied with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern about the financial situation of the club." Dunn said with a straight face. "But now the player contract negotiation is out of my control." He lied, and he suddenly thought that someone was better than himself to deal with this insatiable guy in front of him. "Especially the contracts of important players."

"Ok?"

"About George Wood's salary increase request, you can talk to Mr. Alan Adams. He is in his office now, and you must be happy to find him."

Looking at Dunn's smile, Wukes knew that this was Dunn's strategy. But even if he knew what could happen, Dunn obviously didn't want to talk to him about this issue, but he didn't refuse, just changed someone.

As a player's agent and as a successful person who has made achievements in the market, Woods has long heard of the current marketing manager of Nottingham Forest Club, knowing that he is not an easy figure to deal with. It seems that the Forest team does not want to pay that money so easily.

Wooks was stunned, Dunn picked up the phone, called Alan Adams, and told him about it. Allen promised to let him handle it.

"Mr. Billy Woods." Dunn put down the phone and said to Wood's agent, "I have notified Mr. Alan Adams, and he wants you to go to the office and talk to him about it now."

At this point, what can be done? Did you turn around and leave without talking about salary increases? That won't work. Woods decided to meet that Ellen.

Of course, when he left, he did not forget to give Dunn a thumbs up: "Nice pass, Mr. Dunn."

Dunn smiled and waved his hand: "Thank you for your praise. Goodbye, Mr. Wookes."

After kicking Wood’s pay raise to Alan Adams, Dunn ignored him, and his mind was on leading the team for training and the last two warm-up games.

This new season is coming soon.

The negotiation between Billy Woods and Alan Adams was originally in progress. Alan seemed in no hurry to reach an agreement with Woods. Woods' contract is still a few years away anyway. The club’s attitude is that of course the salary increase must be increased, but it is not so high. To put it plainly, the Forest team is not yet a wealthy team that can spend money, and strictly control the salary structure of the players.

Woods thinks the team is not sincere. Are they so mean to their future captains, can they still be asked to be generous to other players?

The two sides were in a stalemate until the media suddenly exposed that George Wood was negotiating a contract extension with the club.

Dunn was originally not interested in this kind of dog biting topic, he only cared about whether George Wood's state in training was affected. But soon he found out that he was wrong.

The media exposure was an act inspired by Woods. He wanted to make the matter a big deal, not just for Wood alone, but for the whole team to care about-how the Nottingham Forest Club treats playing for her The players?

If Wookes succeeds, then at the juncture of the new season, an unstable situation will appear, and the morale of the team will be adversely affected. This is not what Dunn wants to see.

This hand was unexpected by Dunn and Allen, and it was also quite beautiful...

The media is always able to mix things up, and it is not easy for them to mix things up. Such a club must agree to Wooks' request.

Dunn also hopes to settle this matter before the start of the new season, so as not to let these messy things affect the team's preparations.

In the end, the two sides finally reached an agreement. George Wood signed a new contract with the team. The weekly salary rose from 15,000 to 70,000 pounds, which was 5,000 pounds less than the initial requirement. Woods didn't care. He was very satisfied with the result, Allen I remembered this guy.

Except for the event of finally reaching an agreement on the new contract, Dunn was very relieved that as if this matter had nothing to do with Wood, this kid was not affected at all. If an unopened reporter asks Wood about his views on a salary increase, he will be very experienced to throw all questions to his agent-"Please ask my agent." If you ask him in training He would say "feeling good, everything is normal". This obviously can't satisfy the media, but it can satisfy Dunn.

After following Wookes for a year, I did learn something...know how to deal with reporters. When he was facing the reporter, he was obviously not embarrassed.

August 13, Cardiff Millennium Stadium.

League champion Chelsea lost 1:2 to Cup champion Liverpool in the Charity Shield Cup, and the last warm-up match before the new Premier League season ended.

In an interview after the match, Mourinho smugly talked about the loss of the game: "I think this is a good sign. The new season's league championship is still our Chelsea. The league has three consecutive championships, and we still have to A new breakthrough in the Champions League."

This is the new season declaration of the defending champion. Thanks to the well-developed live TV broadcast, the head coaches of the other 19 Premier League teams have heard his bold words.

No one would agree with that remark. Mourinho pushed his team to the cusp of the storm. He wants to make waves, but it depends on whether his opponents give him this opportunity...

The next day, in Dunn’s column, he announced his team’s goals for the new season:

Mourinho said that his team will make new breakthroughs in the Champions League in the new season. I regret that he is such a brave man... Our goal in the new season is the European Champions Cup. I know what you are going to say, but you read it right, our goal for the new season is that **** Champions League. Mine is mine. I took mine last season... it's time to spit it out.
