Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 505: If it weren't for him...

When Tony Dunn returned to Nottingham the second day, some Spanish and English media showed photos of him shaking hands with Beckham yesterday. The media speculated that Dunn's trip to Spain was definitely not as simple as going to the Shania field.

The relationship between him and Shania was clear to everyone when the Sun reported that he abducted the girl to go to Spain. Friends have catwalk activities, it is understandable to support.

The media also knew about the relationship between Victoria and Shania, so it was normal for Victoria and her husband to go to hold Shania.

But is it a coincidence that Beckham and Tony Dunn met together? Who can guarantee that they will not talk about anything in this half a day?

Without having to speak to either Dunn or Beckham, the media came to their own conclusion-Dunn must have gone to Madrid to lobby Beckham to join the team. Everyone on the earth knows that Beckham was not happy at Real Madrid, but given his age of thirty-one and that wife Victoria, who yearned for Hollywood, not many clubs really decided to introduce him. Judging from all sources of information, the Los Angeles Galaxy, although it sounds the most absurd, is also the closest to the truth.

If Beckham does go to the United States, it will certainly hurt many of his fans. Especially those fans who really like watching him play instead of watching his face.

Although Dunn is not a fan of Beckham, he also feels that it is a pity that this person has gone to the United States. This kind of great opportunity has not allowed him to win the "thousand fans" as he wished, and it will be even more impossible in the future.

※※※

Beckham is ready to notify his agent to stop the negotiation with Real Madrid. Real Madrid did not show enough sincerity in the negotiation, and it seems that he is happy to see Beckham propose not to renew the contract and leave here. In this case, Beckham fulfilled them.

On the surface, Real Madrid is still saying that they are negotiating with Beckham's agent about the contract renewal. In fact, the two sides have already known what the current situation is.

Victoria showed her husband a picture album of Los Angeles landscapes, and she planned to find a good place to buy a house. Tom Cruise introduced her to the mansion next door to her enthusiastically.

Victoria is very satisfied with the environment there.

But all this requires Beckham to nod.

Beckham was a little absent-minded about the scenery around his new home in the future. Since Dunn talked with him, he has always been like this, always preoccupied.

How could Victoria not know what Beckham was thinking?

Dunn brought a new choice to her husband, and her husband was worried about it at this moment.

Victoria put down the picture album and sat across from Beckham.

She looked at her husband: "David."

"Very good, I think it's good." Beckham's donkey's lips were wrong.

"I didn't ask you any questions." Victoria sighed.

"Ah..." Beckham smiled apologetically.

"Well, now I ask you. David, would you like to accompany me to the United States?" Victoria asked.

"Of course I do, Victoria." Beckham replied without hesitation.

"You lied." Unexpectedly, Victoria didn't appreciate Beckham's lie, but with a blank face. "If you really want to, how can you be absent-minded here?"

When Victoria talked about Beckham, he was speechless.

"You want to go back to England, right?"

After a long silence, Beckham shook his head: "I don't know." His eyes caught another picture album, which was the Los Angeles Galaxy team publication. In order to better understand this team, the agent brought him. But he didn't take a look at that time. Anyway, he really wanted to go to the United States. How much time can he spend playing football? Choosing the Los Angeles Galaxy to negotiate is not to say how brilliant this team is or how strong the lineup is, but purely because it is a team in Los Angeles and Hollywood is there.

When Victoria got the team publication, she said to Beckham: "...this team's jersey is really like a Real Madrid jersey."

Now, he saw the white jersey again, sponsored by a sports goods manufacturer, and it is no surprise that the pattern is the same.

If white is like Real Madrid, then red...

Like Manchester United.

Red Manchester United, red Nottingham Forest.

Beckham raised his head: "Sorry, Victoria. I know I owe you a lot...for my career, you sacrificed your career. I am willing to go to the United States because I think it can compensate you for those sacrifices. In fact, I'm not interested in going to the United States to play football." He will "play football" very hard.

Victoria didn't look surprised at all, she just shrugged: "I knew it."

"This may be a bit stubborn, and it's not fair to you. But I..." Beckham said, and fell silent.

Victoria didn't speak either, picked up the Los Angeles picture album again and read it.

There was a brief but embarrassing silence in the room at this time, but fortunately Victoria's cell phone rang at this time.

"Hello, Simon?"

Victoria stood up and walked to the balcony. Beckham knew that it was Victoria's agent who had called. He didn't even bother to think about what it was that the agent called Victoria at this time. He was still fighting inside.

Go to America with your wife, or change your mind?

Dunn’s words are still in my ears: your 100 national team matches, your dream of the European Cup... Have you forgotten it?

How could it be forgotten? After being replaced in the last game of the World Cup, I cried so sad on the sidelines. It has only been half a year, how could I forget it? What was he crying at that time?

Crying that my years are gone, my youth is long gone, but my dream is still a dream, the club honors can be taken, but the national team honors are still blank.

Crying that it is no longer possible to participate in the next World Cup. I can only stop them all at the 2008 European Cup.

Who would have thought that so many things have happened this half of the season. I was left out in the cold at Real Madrid, not only lost the club’s main position, but also lost the position of the national team.

Not to mention the European Cup, even a small wish to play one hundred international A-level matches for the national team has become a luxury.

If he really went to the United States, could McLaren, who saw himself as unpleasant, still recruit himself into the national team? It is simply unimaginable.

Since then, the lieutenant general of world football has lost David Beckham, and McLaren can also prove to the world how wise he was to give up Beckham in the national team-let the national team adapt to the absence of David in advance . Beckham's style of play.

Are you willing? David? Although you said in front of the media that you respect McLaren's choice and are always ready to play for the national team. But can you be willing to endure such a cold treatment by a national team coach?

He couldn't see all your efforts in the national team. One person is responsible for the failure of the World Cup, Ericsson is gone, but it is not enough. In order to show that his New England is completely different from the failed England of his predecessor, it is necessary to exile the players who were favored by the former coach.

As a result, as the captain of the previous team, David Beckham was banished. If it goes well, the exile will be quite far away-Los Angeles, separated by the Atlantic Ocean and the American continent.

Victoria came back after the call, looking very energetic, with a faint smile on the surface.

"It looks like there is good news?" Beckham asked.

Victoria nodded: "Simon called and asked me if I would be interested in reorganizing the Spice Girls."

Beckham raised his eyebrows, and he didn't expect it to be the news.

"I think it's very interesting. My sisters have now given birth to children. It must be very exciting to come on stage with this capacity...it must be very exciting." Victoria said excitedly.

"You promised?"

Victoria nodded: "Yeah."

"This is a good thing." Beckham's brows also stretched out. "I also hope you can continue your career." Then he seemed to have made a lot of determination and looked up at his wife standing in front of him again.

"Victoria, I...I don't want to give up football so early." He finally said his inner thoughts. Victoria did not speak up, but was looking at Beckham, waiting for him to finish. "This..." He pointed to the spacious and bright rooms, high-end furniture and household appliances, which looked magnificent like a palace. "All of this is given to me by football. I don't want others to think that I am a'player' who makes money from his face. I want to prove myself again and prove to those who look down on me... David Beckham is not Selling jerseys."

Victoria put down the phone and waved his arm, seeming to want to say something, but finally gave up the idea. She turned her back to her husband, folded her arms around her chest, and looked at the sunny sky outside the window.

※※※

Under the same clear sky, Nottingham, Villeford in central England.

"Tony, tell me about your situation in Madrid." In the office of the club's chairman Evan Daggerty, the club's big three gathered together.

Although the three of them already knew the result, Evan was still interested in what Beckham had said.

Allen sat aside in a moody mood.

Dunn looked at the two people, and then shook his head: "There is nothing to say, I tried my best to make him change his mind. But he was prepared and moved out of the family as a shield. What else can I say? Tell him, "Don't worry about you." His wife’? That’s going to turn his face on the first day. I can only knock on the side, but he clearly made up his mind...whatever I say, it’s useless to him."

"Didn't you convince Victoria?" Alan, who was beside him, interrupted.

Dunn glanced at him, knowing that he must be unwilling. "I can't persuade that woman, nor can Shania. That woman is someone who knows why and what she should do no matter what she does. She has independent ideas. If an outsider can just persuade her Well... she is not Victoria Beckham anymore. What's more, you think the only person who can make Beckham change his mind is Victoria. My opinion is the opposite of yours, Alan. I think the only person who can convince Victoria is Beckham. Ham."

Evan coughed: "It's useless to say these now. Anyway, Beckham is just unplanned... If it doesn't belong to us, it doesn't belong to us... This season is halfway through, and our results are not compared to last season. Ideal, but I believe you, Tony. At the end of this season, what gifts are you going to give us?"

Dunn raised a finger and was about to speak when the cell phone in his pocket rang.

He shrugged apologetically to the two of them, turned around to answer the phone.

A few minutes later, he walked back again, with a smile on his face.

"Evan, you asked me what gift I would give you? I can give it now." He raised the phone in his hand. "Guess who called me just now?" Then, before the two of them answered, he couldn't wait to announce the answer: "David Beckham."

Alan sat on the sofa without changing his posture, but Evan raised his eyebrows.

"He is very interested in returning to England to play, but Manchester United has no interest in his return. As Nottingham Forest is the most sincere club in England, his agent will be very happy to talk to us about the specific conditions. If he is satisfied, half a season later, he will be ours!"

In the end, Dunn couldn't keep calm anymore. The development of this thing is really turning around. There is no way out of mountains and rivers, and there is another village in the dark.

This time, Allen couldn't continue to pretend to be deep, he got up suddenly from his seat.

Dunn smiled at him: "From a competitive point of view, I think the conditions I have set out can satisfy him. The next thing is your business, Allen. How high are you going to provide your "money machine" in your mind What about his weekly salary?"

This time, it was Allen's turn to take the long exam.

Van Nistelrooy is now the highest paid player in the league, 85,000. At the same time, due to Dunn's adjustment to the internal structure of the team, those players that Dunn valued have signed a new contract with the club, and their salaries have been improved to varying degrees. This is a reflection of the forest team's financial situation last season. But obviously, eighty-five thousand is not enough for Beckham.

These topics are not for Dunn's headaches, he kicked the ball to Allen, and then found an excuse to leave the chairman's office.

What he should think now is, if Beckham really comes to the Forest team, what adjustments will be made to his lineup and tactics.

※※※

Beckham successfully persuaded his wife, but the matter is not over yet, he needs to convince the sponsor. The United States has almost begun to promote the agreement with Beckham, but suddenly received a notice from Beckham's agent-things have changed, Beckham is more willing to stay in Europe to develop his football career.

Beckham's transfer to the Los Angeles Galaxy is not simply a matter between the club and the players. It also involves Major League Soccer and Adidas' American strategy.

It is almost impossible for the Americans to give Beckham a rejection-a weekly salary of £500,000! With a five-year contract, he can get an income of 128 million pounds in these five years. This number is too scary. But in fact, no matter how rich the Los Angeles Galaxy is, it would be difficult for them to pay the penny alone, so Adidas needs to pay part of this part of the annual salary to balance the club's revenue and expenditure.

Therefore, it is a very complicated matter for Beckham to go to the United States. Now if Beckham wants to stay in Europe, he also needs to settle all kinds of interference. He needs to convince Adidas to let him play on a Nike-sponsored team. Although it is the player's personal freedom to say which club to go to, in fact every decision behind this often hides the sponsor's wishes.

If Beckham must go to Nottingham Forest, then he may—no, he must—sacrifice part of his economic interests in exchange for this free choice.

As for Major League Soccer, that is easy to handle. Because the two parties have not signed any contract or agreement, Beckham has the right to change his mind, which may leave a bad impression on Americans, but it is also reasonable. The Americans cannot use "breach of contract" to press Beckham, and the two sides have no agreement at all.

Americans and Adidas companies can continue to improve their treatment to make Beckham tempted. But this time, David Beckham seems to be offended by the outside world's perception of him. He is determined to prove to the world that he is not down to the point of going to the football desert to pan for gold.

He could not be the main player in Real Madrid and was expelled from the national team list. The Spanish media ridiculed him all day as Real Madrid's worst player deal. Major newspapers and tabloids worked out pension plans for him all day. Those who hate him gloated and announced that David Beckham was not a qualified player. Going to Hollywood to act in a movie might have a little achievement. Those who liked him began to sigh and could no longer witness his full moon scimitar on the court. Few people still have the slightest confidence in him.

Except that person.

To the United States! To the United States! To the United States!

Whether he hates him or likes him, everyone thinks that he has decided on this United States. The weekly salary of 500,000 pounds is beckoning him, Hollywood celebrities are waiting in line to invite him to the dinner...Aren’t you a person who likes to make money and chase fame and fortune? Now these are all in front of you. What reason do you have? Rejection, David Beckham?

Except that person.

"...Before you announced your retirement a day, you were a football player first, and then... something else."

He is not the first person to say this to himself, whether Ferguson or Capello have said this to him. But when these two people said this, their tone was always unavoidable with a domineering attitude, which he didn't like. Only Tony Dunn was sincere when he said this, not reprimanding Beckham as a coach, but... a friend. Equally persuade him to consider him from his perspective.

How many of those people who say "We are looking at David's football skills, not his ability to make money" are sincere? Will Florentino (former Real Madrid club president) be sincere? joke.

Except that person.

If it weren't for him, Beckham would leave Spain as a loser. After coming to Real Madrid, the club has never won an important championship trophy. The media said that he was a cancer of the club and therefore seemed confident. If it weren't for him, this would become an ironclad fact after he left. Everyone mentioned the events after David Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid, and they would shake their heads and say-it was a failed transfer. Whether it is for Real Madrid or Beckham himself.

The appearance of that person made him determined to prove himself again. Even if he was leaving the city, he didn't want to be kicked out as a loser. He not only has to train hard to get back to the main force, but also show a better level to become the leader of the team. He wants Capello and Calderon to regret not renewing his contract until 2009. He wants Help the team to win the league championship trophy that seems to be very slim... When he wants to let himself go, all-whether he hates him or loves him-people say:

Letting go of David Beckham was the stupidest decision of Calderon and Capello in their lives! (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
