Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 507: Volume Four Storm Forty Six

On the morning of January 1st, Dunn announced at Nottingham City Stadium that the Forest team would freely introduce David Beckham next season. This news caused a sensation in Spain and England. Before, everyone was speculating that Beckhannum would go to Los Angeles when he left the Bernabéu, because his wife likes the colorful world of Hollywood. Unexpectedly... Beckham, who has always listened to Victoria's words, went against his wife's wishes and insisted on staying in Europe and the center of world football.

Just one minute after the press conference ended, the news about Beckham's free joining was published on the full screen of the homepage of Nottingham Forest's official website.

At the same time, in the Nottingham Forest merchandise store near the City Stadium, the No. 24 jersey with Beckham's name was all put on the shelf, and then it was sold out by Forest fans who heard the wind within half a day. .

This was all prepared long ago. Dunn still remembers that after Beckham went to the Los Angeles Galaxy, the Galaxy couldn't wait to sell Beckham's jersey in advance. So he proposed to Allen whether he could try to sell the Forest team jerseys bearing the Beckham name in advance. Anyway, half a season later, Beckham will definitely be ours. It doesn't matter if we sell the jerseys early or late. Selling the jerseys half a season early can make half a season's money.

Allen thought the idea was good, so he followed it. The number of sales counted after the morning made him smile.

On the day Van Nistelrooy joined, 720 jerseys were sold.

After the announcement of Beckham joining, 1,300 pieces were sold in half a day.

Almost twice the number of Van Nistelrooy, or even more if Alan Adams deliberately controlled the number of jerseys.

Dunn received two calls in the afternoon. The first one was from Manchester United. The person who called him was Manchester United's coach Ferguson.

"Tony, you robbed me again." That's what Dunn said, but Dunn didn't hear Ferguson's anger in his tone.

So he replied with a grin: "Could it be that Manchester United are also secretly contacting Beckham's agent?"

"That's impossible. We don't need the 31-year-old Beckham." Ferguson said this a bit heartlessly, but it is also in line with his usual style. Older ones must be eliminated if they can't keep up with the needs of the team. Only from the perspective of the team always consider the issue of replacement.

Dunn whistled to the phone, the answer was really simple.

"I just have a question and I hope to get your answer. I know that Beckham refuses to return to England because of his feelings for Manchester United. He once said that he will not come back because he does not want to be an enemy with Manchester United. How do you convince him? His?" Ferguson admitted that he was surprised when he knew that Beckham had chosen to return to England to join Nottingham Forest. His interest in Tony Dunn grew stronger, so he couldn't wait to call.

"It's very simple. I told him that when Nottingham Forest played against Manchester United, he did not need to be included in the big list. This condition can be written into the contract and guaranteed."

Ferguson let out an "ah", the answer was similar to what he had guessed. However, this clause is usually used more in the Spanish league, and Real Madrid, where Beckham is currently playing, is an "veteran" using this clause. In fact, doing so goes against the principle of "fair play", because it is tantamount to weakening the opponent's strength in disguise. So Pablo Garcia, the Uruguayan midfielder, who was abandoned by Real Madrid at the time, said that this is a "poop clause."

Dun Enken did this, really trying to win Beckham by any means.

"However, he refused." Dunn continued, surprised Ferguson.

"Refuse?"

"He doesn't accept this condition. Do you know how he told me, Sir Alex."

"Let's talk about it." Ferguson was silent for a moment, then said.

"I am a professional player. Since I agreed to sign with the Forest team, I am a member of the Forest team. It is against professional ethics to refuse to play because of my feelings for Manchester United. This is what he said.

This time Ferguson was silent for longer, so that Dunn thought the phone was disconnected.

After a while, Dunn heard a faint sigh coming from the other end of the phone.

"I'm still surprised, how do you persuade him to go against that woman in Victoria?"

Ferguson hates Victoria is known to all. Someone once asked Ferguson at a party: "Give you a pistol and a bullet, who will you shoot? Wenger or Victoria?" Ferguson laughed and said, "You can give me two. Is it?" It shows how much he hates Victoria. So he said that Dun En was not surprised at all.

"I don't think I persuaded him to go against Victoria. I didn't even try to persuade Beckham to do so. He loves his wife very much, I can tell."

There was a voice from the nose: "Humph."

Dunn didn't care. "It was David who convinced himself, and then he convinced Victoria."

"Persuade yourself?"

Dunn closed his eyes and remembered that when he was still a fan, he knew everything that happened to Real Madrid this season. It was almost like a thrilling and suspenseful movie. His only regret is that he did not see the end of the movie, because he crossed before the end of the season. But he saw the turning point and the return of key characters in this movie that changed the established ending. It is not difficult to guess what the ending is.

"Since leaving Manchester United, Beckham's career has not been smooth. Although his money is getting more and more, but the honor he has won on the football field is zero."

Ferguson continued: "I said a long time ago that he could achieve much higher achievements without the woman of Victoria. But he didn't listen, he loved that woman...this **** who was dazzled by love. "

Dunn waited quietly for Ferguson to finish his vent before continuing: "However, in the first few seasons of Real Madrid, he was still so-so. His great commercial value gave him an unshakable position in the team. He... almost never got caught. Excluded from the starting list. But this season, after the guy Capello went to Real Madrid, everything changed. Beckham found that he was no longer valued, and even the clubs that had always supported him planned to take him Cleared out. The media said he was the chief culprit for Real Madrid’s three seasons of nothing. Fans vented their anger on every player because of the team’s poor record, even Beckham. The team’s internal self Formed into a faction, the atmosphere in the locker room is messed up, the manager’s mistrust, frequent injuries, and World Cup defeats have been excluded from the national team squad... He is on the verge of death."

Ferguson did not speak this time, but waited quietly for Dunn to continue speaking.

"He is only thirty-one years old, and he has to spend the last few years of his career in a chaotic place like the United States. I think there is no difference in essence between going to the United States and going to Qatar-both are deserts. In fact, I do everything. I didn’t say that my persuasion failed. As soon as he took out his family as a shield, I could not continue to persuade him. But I believe Beckham must be very unwilling to be reconciled to the current situation."

what's the situation? A situation that is almost abandoned by the whole world-everyone can show off in front of themselves and pronounce themselves the death penalty. All the faces with smirking smiles stared at him, expecting him to make mistakes, expecting him to be unlucky, expecting him to fall into the abyss of hell...that feeling is very uncomfortable.

When he reached a desperate situation, Beckham realized what he really needed—money? He has earned enough, and will continue to earn. He is not short of money. honor? A professional player has almost all the championships he can get in the club. For his age, the World Cup has no hope...he has no shortage of honors.

What does he lack?

"... what he lacks is respect. It's not respect for him, the world's number one entertainment star, or something heartthrob. It's the respect as a professional player. Most people mention him as a face and wife. The money-making softie can still be loved with mediocre skills, just because he is beautiful. Didn’t the Spanish media say everything, what do you need to succeed as a player? First, you need a beautiful face, and then Train hard to improve your skills. Face is the most important thing, what about the legs... don’t care. You see, everyone thinks so, Beckham is not reconciled. He wants to prove that he is still a qualified professional player with his feet It’s more important than face. But if he goes to the United States, everyone’s view of him will be fully confirmed, and there will be no chance of counterattack. So he can’t go, he wants to stay in Europe, to whom he doubts and looks down upon him His people proved that David Beckham was, above all, a good player."

"So, he chose Nottingham Forest, which was willing to give him a chance to prove himself again." Ferguson continued.

Dunn laughed on the phone: "Let's say so. I just told David that before he announced his retirement for a day, he was still a professional player, nothing else."

It was Ferguson who watched Beckham grow up, and Sir Alex believed that Dunn’s words made sense.

"If he had listened to me long ago and stayed away from that woman, he wouldn't be where he is today..." Ferguson said angrily.

Tang En rejoiced: "Lord, love is irrational. Who can explain it clearly?"

"You bachelor do you understand?"

"Love novels are written like this, haha!"

When Ferguson heard Dunn say this, he was also happy: "Don't be too happy, Tony. After Beckham comes, that woman in Victoria will have you suffer. When is your birthday? I will send you one at that time. Make a gift with a gun and a bullet."

"Can you send me more magazines?" Dunn didn't expect to ask back.

"What do you want so much for?"

"Because I have too many enemies." Dunn shrugged.

※※※

It was understandable for Ferguson to call, but Dunn hadn't expected the second person to call.

"I'm here to congratulate you. Why does it sound like your voice is so cold, Mr. Dunn?" Billy Woods asked in his own weird accent on the phone. The owner of this voice asked Dunn. Not in a good mood at all.

"Why do you want to call me congratulations when Beckham is here?" Dunn replied coldly, not appreciating at all.

"Aren't we in the same boat?" The weird tone of Woods became even worse, and Dunn shuddered.

"Who is in the same boat as you?"

"Oh, I blame the kid Wood. He always tells me about his loyalty to the club. My ears are annoying. Now Wood is your player and I am his agent. Aren't we on the same boat? Nottingham The forest scores well, and the reputation is big, so my money is guaranteed for Wood."

"Your Wood?" Dunn snorted. The most uncomfortable thing about him is that since he had this Wooks, the relationship between Wood and himself seemed to be estranged. I don't know if it was instigated by Woods.

"Our Wood, Mr. Dunn." Woods quickly changed his words.

But today Wooks's attitude is rather strange, not as tough as before.

Dunn felt that there must be something behind it. It was definitely not a simple congratulation. There was a sudden flash of light in his mind.

"Mr. Woods, are you coming to me again to talk about Wood's salary?"

Wookes laughed over there, and Dunn had goose bumps when he heard his laughter. "You are so smart, Mr. Dunn. Ah, but... I just came to remind you, not really want to negotiate with you. After all, Wood and his mother objected to me coming to you to talk about money. I just remind you if To reorganize the team’s salary structure in the future, you must remember to pay so much George Wood for you."

"It's so strange that it's time for the insatiable wolf to shut his mouth?" Tang En sneered.

"Oh, it's even stranger. Isn't the unscrupulous Mr. Dunn planning to take the initiative to talk to me about Wood's salary? Honestly, I think 75,000 is still low..." The first army made Dunn speechless.

"No, I didn't mean to talk to you." Dunn gritted his teeth. This person is more shameless than himself, and he dared to climb along with a bamboo pole without thinking about what to do if he fell down.

To make Dunn suffer from the loss of his mouth, Wookes smiled happily on the other side of the phone. "But I think Beckham will be a good teacher for Wood, so I still want to congratulate you, Mr. Dunn."

"Beckham is a midfielder on the right, George Wood is a midfielder, Mr. Woods who doesn't understand football."

"Who said they are the teachers and students on the football field? Don't you think that after Beckham comes, you can help George this wood to better open the door to entertainment and fashion?"

Hearing what Woods said, Dunn was really stunned. He really did not consider the impact on others from the outside after Beckham arrived.

"So I want to thank you, Mr. Dunn. You helped me a lot. I'm worried that no one will show up to George and tell him how wonderful the other world is." While laughing, Woods hung up the phone.

Dunn froze in the office with the phone that had ended the call.

At present, George Wood is still a qualified professional player, but if it is really like what Woods said, after the commercial superstar Beckham comes, he will not know what will happen. He can't do anything now, he can only pray. George Wood, like his name, is a whole piece of wood. He is not interested in anything except football and doesn't want anything.

Just when Dunn called Ferguson and Wooks, in Spain, at the regular press conference of Real Madrid training, Capello also made his own response to this matter. Exactly as Dunn knew, the old man announced that Beckham's days at Real Madrid had come to an end, because it was a complete betrayal.

"When you have a contract with a team that must be fulfilled, how can you publicly announce that you will play for another team in half a season? This is the greatest disrespect for the team you are playing for. He thinks he is no longer a member of Real Madrid, so I am very happy to make it. In the next half of the season, he will not play for Real Madrid for one minute!" The Italian coach said all the above words with a cold face, except Beckham and Dunn were in an uproar.

There have been many discords between coaches and players in world football, but Capello may be the first to do so and announce it publicly.

What does it mean to not play for half a season? The state cannot be guaranteed, and no one knows what kind of Beckham the Nottingham Forest will buy. Therefore, the English media analyzed Capello's revenge on Nottingham Forest, asking them to spend a high salary to support a player who is already 31 years old and has no guarantees.

The Spanish media believes that this is actually not Capello's decision alone, more likely it is an order issued by the club's top management, Capello is just implementing it. Because the team now needs to do a major cleaning, then the most famous Beckham is perfect as a negative example, which can shock the players and show Real Madrid's determination to usher in a new life.

What a great strategy.

After seeing the news, Dunn called Beckham and learned that David had not been affected in any way. All this was in his expectation, Dunn was relieved. It seems that some things may change, but some things will never change.

The media were very excited. They rendered Capello's declaration as a provocation to Nottingham Forest, and eagerly looked forward to how Tony Dunn, the character head coach, would fight back against Capello who is also full of personality.

So Vilford surrounded a lot of media the next day. During the team’s regular press conference, the reporters didn’t care about the forest team’s recent record and training. They just asked Dunn what he said about Capello. view.

Everyone is thinking that Dunn will slap the table and yell at him, or use his good ridicule to taunt Real Madrid.

Unexpectedly, Dunn's reaction to this disappointed everyone.

He did not aim at Real Madrid and Capello, but at the media that hyped the matter.

“I’m very surprised. I’m not the head coach of Real Madrid, nor the president of their club. Why did that club ask me about the decision. Do you think I know any inside story? Then I’ll tell you that I know what I know and you It’s the same, not even as good. From Capello’s point of view, I understand this. But I also believe that Mr. Capello will definitely see David’s characteristics that can move him, just like David moved at the beginning. The same for me. It won’t take long, ladies and gentlemen, I promise, it will be in this half of the season."

It wasn't that Dunn had predicted the future in advance, so he said so. Only because at this moment, Dun En deeply understands how strong Beckham's belief and determination are, he dared to guarantee votes in front of such multimedia.

After all, even the familiar future may change, but the personality of the person will not change. It is doomed to a person's words and deeds, and these words and deeds determine his fate.

David Beckham's destiny is to regain respect, then leave the Bernabéu with pride and create a new future in Nottingham Forest. (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!)
