Godfather Of Champions

The World Cup is over, and some people are happy and some are worried. It is no longer what Dunn should care about. What he considers is how to make the most of the £50 million transfer budget given by the club.

Bentley's performance in the World Cup was far less radiant than George Wood, but Dunn basically affirmed his strength and state. While the World Cup was still in progress, he had already entrusted the club to ask Tottenham for a price.

Tottenham did not agree to sell the England's starting right-back at the beginning, so Dunn took time to meet with Bentley's agent during the World Cup, through which he and Bentley got on the line. Bentley expressed to Dunn that he hopes to join Nottingham Forest, because the Forest team can participate in the Champions League next season, and Tottenham is just a UEFA Cup qualification.

So Dunn hoped that Bentley would put pressure on Tottenham and showdown with Levi.

Bentley promised to do it after the World Cup. Now he just wants to play well in the World Cup.

After the World Cup, he once again urged Bentley to have a showdown with the Tottenham club through his agent.

First of all, Tony Dunn publicly announced his appreciation of Bentley-he used his work to create momentum during the World Cup broadcast.

Then Bentley responded smoothly. In an interview with reporters, he said he was very happy to appreciate coach Tony Dunn. He thinks Tony Dunn is the best coach in England right now because he can lead the team to the championship. Pierce Bruce, who interviewed him, asked very timely: "What if you play under him?" Bentley smiled and replied, "I think it must be great!"

Well, now Lang is interested in concubine, it depends on what Tottenham Hotspur say.

After the World Cup, Bentley and Tottenham Hotspur coach Sr. Redknapp had a private conversation. In this meeting, Bentley expressed to Redknapp that he hoped to leave Tottenham and go to Nottingham Forest to pursue the championship honor. He hopes that the team can support his personal pursuit, which has nothing to do with salary.

In fact, after Berbatov's matter, Tottenham Hotspur should have known a fact-as long as the player himself wants to leave, it will not help to force a stay.

If Levi is smart, he shouldn't continue to reject the "sincerity" of Nottingham Forest. Rather, consider carefully how much money you can sell Bentley.

Tottenham Hotspur agreed to leave after two days of consideration. The rest is simple, nothing more than a question of how much money is appropriate.

Spurs bought Bentley for 15 million pounds. With the advent of the global financial crisis, clubs spend more wisely in the transfer market, and players' worth have generally fallen, and Bentley is no exception. It's not bad to be able to sell for 15 million. In fact, Tottenham’s price for the Forest team is 15 million pounds, and they hope they can at least not lose money.

And Alan Adams insisted that the Forest team can only pay 11 million pounds.

The negotiations were deadlocked for a week, and eventually both sides made concessions. It was sold for 13.5 million pounds. The Forest team paid a down payment of 11 million pounds, and when Bentley played 30 times in the Forest team, he gave Tottenham another 2.5 million pounds.

The individual treatment contract was negotiated a long time ago.

Less than two weeks after the end of the World Cup, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur jointly announced that England’s "New Beckham" David Bentley had officially transferred from Tottenham to Forest. The transfer fee was 1,300. Five hundred thousand pounds.

After Dunn threw the negotiation to Allen, he was busy looking for the left wing of the team.

After screening back and forth, he set the target on the left midfielder Matthias Fernandez of La Liga powerhouse Villarreal.

On the one hand, Fernandez has the desire to leave the submarine. Although Villarreal can steadily guarantee his participation in the European Champions Cup in recent seasons, wanting to win the championship is tantamount to a dream. Nottingham Forest has just won the championship in the first two seasons. The difference between Villarreal and Nottingham Forest is obvious at a glance.

On the other hand, Villarreal also needs money. As a small club, the budget has always been tight. They can only make money by selling their stars. If the Forest team wants to buy Fernandez, the club should not be an obstacle.

Dunn buying people is still a two-step strategy-one step to find the club, one step to find the players. Before looking for a club, contact the player in private to see what he thinks. If he wants to come, then he will focus on the club, if he doesn't want to come, he will get the players first, and if he doesn't, he will change the target.

This time, Fernandez really wanted to leave. He is eager to go to a bigger stage, eager to have new challenges. It doesn't work to always nest in Villarreal. In fact, if clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona take a fancy to him, it is the best result. But now these big clubs are not interested in themselves, only some mid-range clubs are interested. For example, Rome and Florence in Italy, Schalke 04 and Bremen in the Bundesliga, Everton and Aston Villa in the Premier League, and A Coruña and Valencia in Spain.

In such a comparison, he thinks that it is more cost-effective to choose Nottingham Forest. In other words, the Forest team is also the team that has just won the European Championship for two consecutive years. Although there have been some setbacks in these two seasons, their head coach who pursues victory and championship is still there, and the foundation of this team is still there.

Matthias Fernandez understands it this way: the backbone of a Premier League team is the head coach, so as long as the head coach is still there, the team is not finished.

His understanding is very much in line with the status quo of most Premier League teams.

Dunn assured him that playing in the Forest is definitely more promising than playing in Villarreal-"because we are a team with a championship tradition."

Fernandez assured Dunn that if Nottingham Forest can meet the transfer fee conditions of Villarreal, he will give priority to signing with the Forest team.

Next, Nottingham Forest offered Villarreal an offer of 12 million euros for Fernandez.

Villarreal did not reject the Forest team, but re-opened a price: still 12 million, but please change "Euro" to "Pound sterling".

Dunn didn't hesitate, nodded and agreed to the price offered by the other party.

The next procedure is to compete with several other clubs to see who can get the "hydrangea" thrown by Matthias Fernandez.

Since an agreement has been reached privately. Fernandez finally chose the contract from Nottingham Forest.

In this way, a total of 25.5 million pounds was spent, and Tony Dunn got the left and right wings he wanted. Bentley on the right, Fernandez on the left.

With half of the transfer budget left, how can we spend it?

"What do you think of Adriano?" Dunn suddenly said to Tang who was busy around him when he was preparing for the upcoming training at the Vilford training base.

"If you are interested in him, I have to say that it is not very good." Tang did not look up, and continued to do his own work, answering Dun En.

"Um..." Dunn didn't refute, he held his chin in thought.

"You are right, he is really not very good." After a while pondering, Tang En said. "I just think about it..."

A day ago, the two wings of the newly joined team were introduced to teammates, fans and the media. The Kings of Nottingham Forest were worried about the choice of strikers again.

Although Zikic's performance in the second season was much better than in the first season, his contribution to the team's tactics was also remarkable. But it seems that because he always needs to be a bridgehead in tactics, his scoring rate is declining. His assists have gone up, and it is also very helpful to the team's offense in the frontcourt, but his own goal numbers are always not up. Dunn has decided to give up the idea of ​​cultivating Zikic as a pure scoring shooter. He found that Zikic is doing very well in the position of tactical center. Apart from scoring a little bit, he can hardly pick out anything. Something wrong.

Abangraho is fast, very fast. But his shooting skills are still rougher, and he prefers to move on the wing-because there is enough space for him to jump. He is more effective than anyone when fighting back, but the Forest team can't always fight back. This set has long been thoroughly studied by their opponents.

Eastwood is stable, provided that he is not injured. The Forest team will play at least two lines in the new season, and Dunn cannot expect Eastwood to play all the games in a season alone.

Milan and Moses are still too young to expect them to take on great responsibilities.

Therefore, the Forest team still needs to strengthen their frontline strength.

In order to make room for the new striker, Dunn decided to rent out Moses and Milan for training. These two little guys are very popular due to their outstanding performance last season, and Dunn doesn't need to worry about their whereabouts.

So the only question now is-which striker to buy?

Dunn’s transfer fee is currently at most 30 million pounds. After buying Bentley and Fernandez, Alan Adams added another 5 million pounds for Dunn’s transfer. budget. It seems that this time the Forest team really wants to do a big game in the new season.

Who can buy 30 million? There are a lot of people who can actually buy it, but there are actually very few people who can buy it.

The financial crisis has caused players to shrink in value, and the stars who used to be sky-high in the past have now returned to civilians. A typical example, Real Madrid announced the acquisition of Benzema this summer, bargaining continued for the entire World Cup, and finally only spent 30 million euros. What did Olas say two years ago? "Benzema is worth 100 million euros!" At that time, the actual offer could not be less than 50 million.

Ibramovich, Eto'o, Villa, Tvez, Berbatov... These people can meet the current 30 million pounds transfer fee, but they are in the hands of the Forest team. Can't buy it.

On the one hand, the Forest team is much worse than those real giants. On the other hand, even if they can buy these superstars, I am afraid they can't afford to meet their salary. You know, Ibramovich enjoys an annual salary of 12 million euros after tax at Inter Milan. Italy imposes a heavy tax of 100% on football. The annual salary of 12 million after tax means that the Inter Milan club pays 24 million euros every year for the salary of one Ibrahimovic alone...

Even if England does not impose such a heavy tax on the football industry, a figure of 12 million is absolutely unaffordable for Nottingham Forest.

So Dunn can only focus on two types of people: one is a world-class shooter who has long proven their status in world football, but is currently in poor condition. The other is a semi-first-rate striker who is not well-known but has decent strength.

The best candidate for the former is actually the desperate Adriano who had been in Inter Milan.

Dunn had seriously considered the possibility of the Brazilian joining the team. First of all, although he and Mourinho and his opponent, but in the Adriano transfer, I believe Mourinho will not make things difficult. Inter Milan also hope to get rid of the burden of Adriano as soon as possible, and they will never allow Adriano to be sold to Italian teams, so foreign teams are the only choice for Brazilians. At the same time, Adriano and his agent will not agree to return to Brazil to play, so the English team is actually the best choice.

But the core issue that made Dunn hesitate about was Adriano himself. This is a player with no technical problems, but a big psychological problem. Late for training, absence, late night lingering in the nightclub until the early hours of the next morning, prostitutes, self-confessed big-name misconduct, face-to-face collision with the team coach, questioning authority...

None of these problems is something Dunn doesn't hate.

He has a temperament similar to Mourinho. If Mourinho can't tolerate Adriano, Dunn will probably not.

Maybe he can keep Adriano honest for a season through various means, but Dunn knows that Adriano's character is not so easy to reverse. Once he regained his pride, what awaited Dunn was endless off-site scandals. Can he change such a self-willed and fallen genius?

Dun En and Tang discussed it several times, and Tang reached the same conclusion-maybe it was possible before his father died, and after his father died, he would be completely useless.

He also advised Dunn: "If the club thinks you spent tens of millions of pounds and only allowed him to play a good season for the team, I don't guarantee how Mr. Chairman will treat you. Adriano is too risky. We There are many ways to avoid this risk. I don’t think the introduction of Adriano is a good deal."

Dunn was distressed for several days, and after repeatedly studying Adriano's performance and off-court gossip in recent years, he formally announced his dedication to Adriano this morning.

The Brazilian is a can't afford to help, and Tony Dunn is not an omnipotent god. Although deep down in my heart, I feel sorry for this once genius shooter, but the reality is very cruel. He doesn't need to spend tens of millions to do charity work to save a miserable young man who is not related to him.

Then the problem comes again-

"Hey, Tang. You recommend a few more to me. The ones you recommended before are always unsatisfactory in some places. Do you know that I am a perfectionist..."
