Godfather Of Champions

Since Dunn rudely rejected Heideshhead's offer that day, there has been nothing about Ribery's new contract. Dunn suppressed the anger in his heart, and rushed back to Nottingham to deal with the mess, and completed the explanation work on BBC-5. With anger in his heart, the words in his mouth became more poisonous, so the poor German, because of his poor performance in the final, was severely satirized by Dunn in the commentary.

During this time, there have been more and more news in the media about Real Madrid’s pursuit of Ribery. Like the pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid are very good at using all available factors to pave the way for their transfer activities. , Public opinion is a very important means.

Dunn saw Hydeshade once, but in newspapers and TV news.

Wearing sunglasses, he appeared in the bright sunshine of Madrid, Spain, and mysteriously stated that he was only here for vacation in Spain, surrounded by reporters.

A fool would believe that he really came on vacation.

Sure enough, within a few days, he took the initiative to stand up and accepted an interview with "Marca" and talked about Real Madrid's pursuit of Ribery.

"...Yes, I know Real Madrid is interested in Frank. To be honest, although Frank and I want to stay in Nottingham Forest, after all, he became famous in that team. But there is no player in the world. When facing Real Madrid’s invitation, you can be unmoved... Do you know what I mean? I mean that. Real Madrid is the best club of the twentieth century. It is a lot of professional players who can play in such a team. dream……"

The meaning of this statement couldn't be clearer. He admitted that he had been in contact with Real Madrid and that Ribery wanted to join Real Madrid.

Seeing this news, Dunn could no longer sit still. Before flying back to England from Austria, he could not wait to call Ribery at the airport.

"Frank, I think we should talk separately."

Ribery is on vacation to soothe his "wounded heart" in the European Cup. His French team went home in the group stage. The UEFA Champions League best player and the European Footballer's national team honor journey ended early, which can be regarded as a blow to him.

"But, Boss... I'm on vacation now..." Ribery's voice flickered. Yes, "flashing" is like a signal light that is vacillating in the wind and rain.

"I can go to you, rest assured, I won't ask you for airfare money. Haha!" Dunn tried to make his voice sound the same as usual, and he even made a joke on purpose. "Where are you on holiday?"

There was silence on the other side for a while, and Ribery's voice came again: "Mallorca."

The name made Dunn stunned for a moment. He is not a person who loves to travel and knows all the tourist attractions all over the world. But he also knows what country the name represents. Mallorca, also translated as "Mallorca" in China, is also the name of a La Liga team.

So Ribery is in Spain?

At this time, in this context, this place... Dunn couldn't help but think about other aspects.

"Then I'll go to you." Dunn made a decision. Some things are not clear if he doesn't talk face-to-face. Face-to-face communication also helps Dunn know Ribery's true thoughts. If you want to convince someone, communicating in person is more effective than talking over the phone.

This time, Ribery was silent for a long time, and then he said, "Boss, you have been busy for more than a month, so go to rest..."

Dunn smiled: "It's not busy or not, it's not too busy to curse people on TV. Besides, Mallorca is a tourist resort, I just go to your place to relax."

This time Ribery had no reason to refuse.

"Well, boss, you are coming, I will pick you up at the airport."

When the European Cup came to an end, Dunn did not return directly to the UK with Mortensen, but booked a direct flight from Austria to Mallorca, Spain. Then he bought a few fancy short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and straw hats at the local store. After putting on a set of outfits, he looked like a tourist on a sightseeing trip.

When he appeared at the airport in this outfit, the British reporters who had planned to go back with the BBC TV were very surprised.

"Isn't the team going to report again, Mr. Dunn. Where are you going?"

"Go traveling, relax!" Dunn said with a smile.

"May I ask where you are going?"

"Spain!" Dunn blinked at the reporter who asked the question.

※※※

"Frank!" Heideshard's voice sounded a little frustrated on the phone. "How can you agree to meet Dun En?"

"Bruno, you make it difficult for me to do this. He insists on coming, what can I do?" Ribery was not in a good mood, and he was so overwhelmed by the transfer matter recently. He said he was on vacation, but in fact he frowned every day, no matter how beautiful the scenery and people were, he ignored him. How can you be in the mood? This was actually Bruno's idea. Let him hide from Dun En here and leave everything to him to deal with, just wait for the result.

"Reject him simply!"

"Impossible!" Both voices grew louder. "I know the character of the boss very well. The more you refuse, the more he will come. He must do what he recognizes."

"Then tear your skin..."

"Have you not figured out the situation, Bruno? I am his player, and I have torn up with him? Don't you know how he treats people who fall out with him?"

"You are the one who hasn't figured out the situation, Frank. If you are tougher, you will be the one in the white jersey next season. Do you care how he treats the traitor?"

The last word irritated Ribery, who froze for a while holding the phone. "Bruno, I believe you, you will deal with Real Madrid. But the boss I think I have to meet him anyway. I have no reason to refuse him, and I don't want to fall out with him. After all, who is there? When I was at my worst, gave me a chance to be Frank Ribery’s?"

Ribery said these words decisively and hung up the phone.

The Hydeside over there looked at the phone in his hand and angrily cursed: "Idiot! My efforts were wasted when I met him! Who do you think Tony Dunn is, Frank?"

※※※

In the bright sunshine of the Iberian Peninsula, Ribery smiled and took the small suitcase from Dunn.

"Spain is really a good place. It's much better than the ghostly weather in England." Dunn looked up at the clear blue sky. He was wearing sunglasses, not afraid that the bright sun would burn his eyes. "You really pick a place, Frank."

This sentence seems to be unintentional to the speaker but intentional to the listener. In fact, it means that the speaker has the heart and hopes the listener has the intention.

Sure enough, Ribery just smiled and didn't continue the topic.

Seeing his subordinate love general, Dunn's previously restless heart finally settled a little bit. He knew that if Ribery insisted not to see him, then this matter would be dangerous. As long as Riberiken meets with him, it shows that there is still room for maneuver in this matter.

In the taxi to the hotel where they were staying, Dunn and Ribery sat side by side in the back. There were Spanish pop songs on the radio in the car, but neither of them spoke first.

The atmosphere is really uncomfortable.

It was Dunn who spoke first, after all, he was here to solve the problem, not really traveling Mallorca with Ribery.

"Should I comfort you first, Frank?"

"Ok?"

"The French team is in this European Cup..." In the last match of the group match between the French team and the Italian team, Dunn was the guest of comment. At that time, he sweared by the French team. After two people, one is Benzema and the other is Ribery.

Ribery’s performance is obvious to all. Almost everyone gave up. Only he was still running, constantly running, breaking through, crossing, shooting... and striving for the chance to score. In the four years in Nottingham Forest, Dunn’s style has long been carved into his bones, and he will never give up until the end of the game. The "Nottingham Forest Style" that never admits defeat in the face of difficulties has also become his style.

It is a pity that no matter how powerful a person is, it is only one person. Football is a team sport, and his efforts are even more dazzling and heartbreaking when the other ten people are weak and incompetent. In the end, Ribery did not bring victory to the national team. The French team, the popular champions before the game, once again returned home in the group stage.

The game was over, and the Italians were in a carnival. They escaped and won the right to qualify for the group. The French were downcast, but who noticed the anger in Ribery's eyes?

Hearing Dunn's mention of this matter, Ribery smiled: "Hey, the game is over, I don't want to think about it. How can there be such a good thing in the world? The champions asked me to take it alone. This season. ...I'm very satisfied. As a professional player, all the club honors I can get have been won."

Dunn glanced at Ribery in front of him.

After this, the two did not speak again until the taxi arrived at the destination.

In the room, Dunn watched the waiter retreat and close the door, and he could finally say what he was holding in his heart.

"Frank, you don't really think I'm here for vacation, do you?"

Ribery smiled: "It looks a lot like your dress."

"I just don't want to make the next conversation too serious... I know what you are doing here, and I also know what your agent is doing." Dunn's expression still became serious unconsciously. "I want to hear your thoughts."

"Mine? I..." After a moment of silence, as if he had made a lot of determination, Ribery continued, "Boss, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Who wants to listen to lies? Tell the truth." Dunn waved.

"To be honest, I always feel that the treatment is a bit low..."

"The salary increase is that the club is not unreasonable..."

"But, boss... Hi, let me be honest. I think the current financial situation of the club may not meet my requirements."

Dunn didn't speak, and Ribery didn't continue to say this after finishing this. The two people just looked at each other like that.

"Well, let's throw these messy things aside, take me to eat, I'm hungry." Dunn touched his stomach and smiled at Ribery, "You treat."

Ribery also smiled: "No problem."

※※※

Dunn didn't really plan to spend a vacation in a picturesque tourist resort, how could he have this time to spend this luxury here? He decided to fly back to England the next day, and a lot of things were waiting.

"It's really a short vacation." Now that I have packed my luggage-in fact, there is nothing to pack. A small suitcase is just a few sets of clothes, and nothing else, not even a tourist souvenir. In the room where I didn't buy it, Ribery looked at the suitcase on the bed and said.

Tang En stood on the terrace outside the door, overlooking the blue sea and blue sky outside.

"It's innocent blue here. Compared with England, Spain is indeed full of appeal..."

"If you like, the boss can buy a villa here, and he can come every summer." Ribery pretended not to hear the meaning of Dunn's words.

"If you really want to live for a long time, it won't work, Frank." Dunn regained his senses and smiled. "When it is windy and rainy, the calm sea is no longer fun. Beautiful things must be short. I still want to persuade you. Stay in Nottingham."

"I didn't say to leave, boss..."

"But in the eyes of the media outside, you are infinitely close to Real Madrid, aren't you?" On this day, Dunn paid attention to the Spanish newspaper he bought locally. Although he could not read Spanish, Ribery's photos and The name is still recognizable. After Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer quickly developed in the direction of "farce", the appearance of Frank Ribery re-stimulated Real Madrid fans and the Spaniard.

"As long as the club can meet my salary requirements, I will renew my contract with the club immediately."

Dunn smiled, this kind of remark was more like a bad check. "Can you tell me how much is appropriate?"

This time, Ribery hesitated, then kicked the ball to his agent: "This has to be discussed with Bruno, boss. He is solely responsible."

Hearing these words, Dunn nodded vigorously.

"You should know what your agent has already contacted me? Then you must already know the result, right?"

Ribery nodded silently.

"One hundred fifty thousand." Dunn sighed. "I thought that was just an excuse and a cover for you to make a successful transfer by Hydeshade, to force us to accept the reality that you must transfer. But... now it seems to be true." He shrugged. "You should know the current financial situation of the club. We really can't offer such a high renewal price. In order to build that... new stadium, I have to live with my wallet in my pocket and make money in the transfer, and I have to pay a euro. The other side negotiated several times...I really, really, hope you can understand the situation of the club."

He said it very sincerely, and you can't doubt that he has ulterior motives in saying this. Ribery remained silent.

"I don't want to say that, but I want you to think about it. A team like Real Madrid is not where you want to go. Only Nottingham Forest is your home. Do you hate your teammates and our coaches? Do you hate those fans?"

"No, boss. I don't hate anyone." Ribery shook his head. "I think the four seasons in Nottingham Forest are the four most enjoyable seasons since I became a professional player. Until now, sometimes I still dare not dare. I believe that Frank Ribery, who is on the verge of losing his job in Braunne, will one day win the Champions League, twice in a row."

"Then why have to leave?"

"Boss, I didn't say that I must leave. But I hope that the reward I get can be proportional to what I give."

"We opened a new contract for you, but your agent threw it into the trash can without even looking, then pointed to my nose and told me: The club is not sincere!" Dunn raised his voice. "I admit that it is impossible for the club to renew your contract with a weekly salary of 150,000. But can you consider the difficulties of the club and make some concessions? Your agent will bite the 150,000. The world There was no such negotiation at all, and I even thought he was deliberately threatening me..."

Ribery waved his hand quickly: "Boss, please trust me. Between Real Madrid and Nottingham Forest, I must choose the latter...Of course, as long as the conditions are right."

Dunn glanced at him: "You are telling the truth. In fact, there are some things I always wanted to tell you, but I don't know if it is appropriate to say that. The fans of Nottingham Forest like you very much, and the teammates like you very much. , Your popularity within the team is very, very good. We have just won the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, and last season we won the League Championship. No matter what, the team and you are on the rise. We Together, there are still many championships to win. Now you can sacrifice a little financial benefit to get more benefits. I really don't understand the use of moving to Real Madrid, or having a weekly salary of 150,000? The difference between 120,000 and 150,000 is only 30,000. In fact, you are not short of 30,000... Is it useful to get more weekly salary? Without honor, you will soon be forgotten, unless you can continue to win this world Championship and victory, otherwise it’s useless to sit on the bench and get 200,000 weekly salary. Do you know what I mean, Frank? Many times, honor is more important than money."

Ribery was silent.

Dunn raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "I have to go, there are a lot of things waiting for me in Nottingham. You continue to take a vacation here..."

"No, boss. I can actually follow..."

He waved his hand: "I said that those of you who have participated in the European Cup are allowed to take an extra week, and then you have to rest for a full week. If you don't rest well, if you have any physical conditions, you will be over when the season starts. Body. More important than anything. You can relax here, the water and sky in Spain are really blue!" He patted Ribery on the shoulder, lifted the suitcase from the bed, and buckled the straw hat on his head. The suit left the resort island of Mallorca, Spain under the blue sea and blue sky.
