Godfather Of Champions

The striker is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Anelka is definitely going to leave. Although no club has made a public offer to the French striker, Dunn knows that Anelka's two brothers must be lifted privately with multiple clubs. Dunn ignored it and let them toss. Anyway, it was the end result-Anelka left. He doesn't care how much money he makes less, which he realized when he was fighting against AC Milan. He wants to give a lesson to this unruly forward, let him know who is the boss in this team, and also teach the two insatiable agents.

Anyway, the person who advocated the introduction of Anelka was Allen, and Dunn would not consider such a thing as a loose mouth in Anelka because he wanted to save Allen.

Putting Anelka's matter aside for the time being, Dunn went to meet Evan and Allen and let them see his transfer list this season.

Both people were a little surprised to see the few lives on the short list.

"Didn't you say that the funds are tight? I will introduce fewer people. In addition, I can accept the candidates who are sold." Dunn motioned to them to turn over the list, and there are several names on the back. Is someone who can be sold.

Allen looked at this part more closely. In the past few years, due to Dunn's behavior of protecting his calf, the team has been in the transfer market with more in and out, which seriously impressed the balance of payments.

After reading this list, Evan and Allen both nodded to Dunn and expressed their full support.

Then Evan also told Dunn that the construction site for the new stadium was obtained, in Clifton.

Dunn knew this place, just southwest of Vilford and southwest of Nottingham. He was a little worried because it was too far from the city center.

The current city stadium is in the city center. It is very convenient for fans from all sides to watch every home game and the traffic is very developed. But if the new stadium is placed on the southwestern town of Clifton... he is worried that it will affect the popularity.

Allen laughed at his concern.

"Tony, it looks quite far there now, but when the stadium is completed, you won’t feel that far. At that time, with the new stadium as the center, there will be a large residential area, and the developed city traffic will not let you live in other areas. The local fans find the road difficult."

Evan smiled and explained to Dunn why he chose Clifton instead of other places. "In fact, we really want to choose the city center with the most people. But Tony, that requires more money, and the construction cost is too high. Besides...At present, there is no open space in the city center for us to build a large stadium. The place in Clifton was sold to us cheaply by the city government, but there is one condition. The city government hopes that we can cooperate with the construction and development plan of that area-they decided to use the construction of the new stadium as an opportunity to develop a commercial residential area there. Plan. Allen is talking with several bidding construction companies, hoping to find the most suitable one. I think the city government’s plan is very good. Just to build a stadium, we are still worried that we can’t find a suitable company. Many construction companies have expressed interest in a new stadium plus a large commercial and residential area."

Allen nodded and indicated that this was indeed the case.

"As for traffic, I think it will be much better than it is now. Now every home game, the city stadium is overcrowded and there are not enough parking spaces in the parking lot. Many people need to park their cars a mile away and then Come here on foot. Because it’s right by the river, there’s no way to get more fans in at the same time—that would crowd people into the river. At the same time, because it’s in the city center, it’s not convenient to build more modern transportation facilities. …The city stadium was built more than a hundred years ago. It’s too old... The old stadium is difficult to expand. The supporting transportation facilities of the new stadium include a tram line directly to the square in front of the stadium. Fans can take it Trams from all over the place go directly to the stadium gate, and the same goes when they exit the stadium."

Dunn was persuaded. Anyway, he didn't have the expertise of these two people in management. Anyway, they would do what they said. If it is really a new stadium plus a residential area, maybe he will go there to buy a house in the future.

"It sounds like an exciting plan." Dunn praised Allen's work. "I can't wait to go to the new stadium to direct the game."

The other two laughed.

After the transfer plan was approved, Dunn left the chairman's office. He was busy introducing the players on this list and trying to sell the people on the back of the list.

※※※

The vacant man who replaced Anelka on the front line was Andrey Arshavin (Andrey_Arshavin), the forward star of Russia's St. Petersburg (Zenit_Peterburg) team.

This player, known as the "New Tsar" in Russia, is not a young rookie, but he is a bit late. He is already twenty-six years old, but he was not recognized by European football until the last season.

And Dunn knew him and knew him because of Akinfeev.

After deciding to rent Akinfeev back to CSKA Moscow, Dunn hired a Russian scout in Russia who was familiar with Eastern European football, and he was responsible for tracking Akinfeev’s performance in the Russian league. Fax him a report every week so that Dunn can keep track of Akinfeev's status and situation in time.

At the same time, Dunn did not know whether he was hiring such a scout for Akinfeev. He also wanted to discover some cheap football geniuses from Eastern European football represented by Russia.

Young people will pay for their own training, no matter whether they can play in the forest team or not, even if they are sold, they can make a fortune. In fact, this veteran club was doing this before Dunn entered the forest team. Remember that German teenager Eugen Pope? He is the new star that the Forest team specifically dug back from Germany, but his training failed in the end. But such a failure can not affect the confidence of the Forest Club to continue to do so. This is the survival of many small English clubs. At that time, the Forest team did not know that they would welcome a group of nobles.

Allen is very supportive of his plan-as long as it is a plan that can make money for the team, Allen, an American, supports...

The bearded scout named Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev, who has the same name and surname as the famous Russian chemist, not only reports to him on Akinfeev’s performance, but also from time to time He recommends what he found, or Ah himself has a reputation in Russian football but is still an unknown player in Western Europe.

Andre Arshavin is one of them.

After watching the video of Arshavin's kicking sent by Mendeleev, Dunn fell in love with the small player at once. Fast, good technique, can play almost all positions in the frontcourt, at the same time is smart, can pass the ball, willing to assist, can create opportunities for his teammates, he is not a self-centered person who does not know cooperation, does not know what "team spirit" is "Idiot.

Such a person is too suitable for the Forest team.

As a result, Mendeleev's job was added later: in addition to tracking Akinfeev, he also had to track Arshavin.

This has caused the "Russian chemist" to suffer frequently. Fortunately, his ticket is reimbursed by the Forest Club, otherwise he might just quit.

As reports about Arshavin continued to be sent to Dunn’s desk, he became more and more familiar with this small player in Russia. He knew that although he had not contacted him in person, he already knew what he liked and hated... …

It was at that time that Dunn was determined to put Anelka on the bench because he had found the best substitute for the Frenchman. Anelka is leaving? Let him go!

So as early as the end of last season, the Forest Club and Arshavin's agent Raccetti got on the line.

It’s just that at that time, Raccetti was a bit dissatisfied with such a "small club"-they were not as rich as Chelsea led by Abramovich; nor in the world like Manchester United and Arsenal. The football is dazzling. More importantly, they just defeated Arshavin's favorite Barcelona in the Champions League knockout round, and as the head coach, Dunn had a lot of disrespectful words about Barcelona before and after the game was revealed by the media.

Dunn didn't care about the cold encounter between Arshavin and his agent, and it didn't matter if he was wronged by the players he liked. He knows that Arshavin will definitely belong to him in the end, because he has a way to make the other side look at himself and his team differently.

This method is to win the most important championship of the season.

After the UEFA Champions League final, the entire club was in great joy, but some people could not rest. Dunn asked the club to contact Arshavin and his agent for the first time, and once again proposed a transfer intention. He intends to listen to the players' personal wishes before contacting the club.

In the past, when playing games, the rules stipulated that you could only ask for a quote from the club first, and then talk to the players. If the player himself is unwilling, the hard work of bargaining back and forth with the club will be in vain. How can there be so many rules in reality? Every time Dunn led a transfer, he first went to the opposing player and then to the club.

This time, Arshavin's agent's tone was relaxed-he couldn't help it if he didn't think about it. Although Arshavin has become the No. 10 captain of the Nizette team, he is also the captain of the Russian national team, and he has a small reputation in European football. But those European clubs that really have enough weight only verbally say they are interested in Andre Arshavin, and none of them have taken practical actions. The agent Raccetti was unable to bargain with the Forest team with offers from other clubs.

And he also knew that the Nizette team would definitely not be able to keep Arshavin. Arshavin told him and also to Nizette’s coach Ed Wocart: He wants to leave Nizette, leave Russia, and go to Europe. Play in the highest level of league.

This is the confidence and dream of any high-level player, as is Arshavin.

A timely Champions League victory in Nottingham Forest also gave Arshavin a different look at the team that had defeated his favorite Barcelona.

He watched the live broadcast of the final. In the final, the Forest team almost completely suppressed the Italian powerhouse AC Milan. Kaka's goal is a manifestation of Kaka's personal ability and has nothing to do with the performance of the AC Milan team. As a team that has just been promoted to the Premier League for only three seasons, the Forest team can completely block AC Milan in the final and win by a score of 3-1, which really made Arshavin never expected before the game.

It was also this game that made him become interested in this team that has been pursuing him.

He first heard this name as a teammate of the national team. The main goalkeeper Akinfeev announced to join an English Premier League team, but he was rented back to CSKA Moscow for a season. He knew the name of that team was "Nottingham Forest".

After that, he kept hearing the names of "Nottingham Forest" and their character coach "Tony Dunn", and he kept to heart, after all, England and Russia are too far apart. Until he received a call from his agent Raccetti, telling him Nottingham Forest was interested in him.

※※※

After the final, the people of the Forest Club contacted Arshavin’s agent Raccetti, but the other party did not give them a clear answer, only that his players need to seriously consider the matter of playing abroad.

Hearing this answer, Dunn knew that there was a drama. Although he didn't give an answer right away, it was human nature. Who would nod or shook his head immediately with such an important choice? If there is, it must be the second stunned child. If you want to come to the forest team, Dunn will not want it.

So he went to Brazil with Shania in a happy mood, and after returning, asked about the transfer progress again. I heard that Raccetti had not contacted the club. He knows that this is Raccetti's delay, and see if no other team in the transfer market will make an offer. If there is one, he has the confidence to bargain with Forest.

For this reason, Dunn specifically went to understand the current European transfer market. There are indeed teams that are interested in Arshavin, but they are powerful enough to compete with the club, and clearly indicated that they hope to introduce Arshavin's attitude... a club. nothing.

Now Dun En's heart was completely settled, he knew that the Russian "new tsar" could not run out of his palm.

After understanding everything clearly, Dunn decided not to give Raccetti no chance to make waves. He personally called Arshavin's agent, Raccetti, to show him his sincerity, understanding and love for Arshavin. Then again asked Arshavin's intention to move to the forest team.

The head coach of the Forest team called, Raccetti could not refuse. He knows what kind of person Dunn is. He told Dunn Arshavin that he really intends to play abroad, but if the conditions of the Forest team cannot meet Arshavin, then they would rather stay in Nizette.

"...After all, Andre has a lot of affection for the team he has played for since childhood."

The words are high-sounding, and agents like to come to this set. Dunn is not the first rookie dealing with an agent. The next day he sent a fax to the Nizette team in the name of the Nottingham Forest Club, asking for their No. 10 core Andre Arshavin.

This time, the Forest team offered 10 million pounds.

Nottingham Forest is the first club to offer Arshavin, Nizette is not surprised, they have long been prepared to sell the core. After all, this is something that many small and medium clubs and teams in the second and third-tier European leagues have to face.

Those talented and outstanding star players cannot be willing to spend their careers in a league that is not at the highest level. If there are clubs in the top European leagues to invite them, these people will have no intention of training or playing, and they will be full of top leagues.

Arshavin is also one of them.

Ten million pounds is not that low. Nizette pretended to refuse once. The Forest team made an offer here, which was one million pounds more accurate than the first offer. Allen told Nizette's boss that if he did not accept it, this was the final offer. As the new European champions, they have too many better options in the forward position.

Of course Nizette’s boss knows that there is no shortage of strikers in world football today. If you miss this opportunity, who knows if there will be another one? Those big European clubs always say that we are interested in Arshavin, but they never make an offer. They seem to just talk casually. Maybe they still look down on the Russian players?

Nizette’s boss hesitated and accepted the offer half-push half-way.

The club agreed, and the player's own problem was solved very well. Dunn knows that Arshavin likes Barcelona and wants to play in Barcelona most, but Barcelona looks down on this Russian player. For the La Liga giants, they have too many world-class choices in the position of Arshavin. Russian League players spend so much money and energy-in the eyes of Catalans, Arshavin is not a world-class player.

In the end, after four days of negotiations, Arshavin signed his name on the personal contract.

The next day, June 23, the official website of Nottingham Forest and Nizette, as well as Arshavin’s own personal official website, announced the news at the same time——

Nottingham Forest brought in their central midfielder, No. 10 captain Andre Arshavin, from the Nizette team of the Russian Premier League for £11 million. The transfer will take effect on July 1.

This is the first transfer announced by the Forest team in the new season. It has attracted a lot of media attention. For the first time, Arshavin's name and his baby face have appeared on a large scale in many European sports media. England's "Mirror" is very concerned about the transfer of the new European champions. After the deal was confirmed, they used this title on the sports page to introduce readers to the forest team's first signing of the season:

"The Tsar is Coming! 》

And other reports about him have long been countless.

The 26-year-old Russian captain finally tasted the sweetness of joining the top teams in the top league.

With the announcement of this news, Anelka also knew that his time in Nottingham Forest was over.

Although as a player, he won the European Champions Cup for the second time. But really ironic, this second trophy still has little to do with him... (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading! )
