Volume IV The Storm Chapter VIII An Invitation from Ferguson

"No one knows what it means that Anelkadi's two agent brothers appeared next to Bertus at this time......

The news is still playing on the TV. Don stared at the TV.

"Tony?" Don asked on the side.

What does that mean exactly? Do you still need to ask this......" Don muttered and turned to go upstairs, not even hearing Don call him at all.

Donn went upstairs and pulled out Anelkadi's phone number. Standing in front of the window and dialing his phone.

Of course he knew what that meant.

What else could it be like? Anelkadi's two agent brothers are not honest again...... No, maybe the two of them themselves received Anelkadi's instructions this time.

In the Champions Cup final, Anelka was replaced...... At that time, Don En's mind was full of the game itself, and he didn't think too much about it. Later, after the game, he calmly thought that his substitution might make Anelka feel uncomfortable, but due to various delays, he did not find the Frenchman to explain the meaning of the substitution in person.

I didn't expect it...... Unexpected. Anelkadi moves quite fast. This brings the older brothers to other clubs.

There was an unanswered tone on the phone.

Don slammed the phone onto the bed.

He can now finally understand how Wenger felt when he called Anelka in the first place.

Give me this hand again?

Don watched strangely as Don walked down the stairs.

"He didn't answer your call?" He asked.

Donn nodded. Walked to the sand and sat down.

"Is he leaving?"

"Can I still get him to change his mind?"

"I'd advise against letting him go, we're missing a fast striker."

"We can go to the transfer market and find ......"

"Tactically speaking, he's the best fit for the Forest team right now."

When Don heard Don say this, he shook his head helplessly: "I admit that it is, it's a pleasure to run in one season...... And so on." He sat up straight suddenly." I'm not going to let him go...... Want to go? It's not that easy. But we can't just leave it alone, and I think we should continue to strengthen our ground front."

Hear Don say that. Don was a little surprised." Do you still want to buy strikers? ”

"Exactly." Donn nodded vigorously.

The phone door was born as scheduled. This has not changed at all, whether it is the club or the person involved.

Juventus were stripped of the league title and relegated to the second division is almost a certainty, and now everyone's attention is on the other big team down, AC Milan will be relegated or not, and a few points will be punished......

Real Madrid are frantically chasing AC Milan's midfield core Kaka. As long as AC Milan are ultimately relegated, it is almost certain that Kaka will leave this team.

The slight discrepancy with the "phonegate" incident in which Donn knew was that the people who left the city after the opening of Juventus City ......

Capello took three of his disciples to Real Madrid to take office.

That's right, it's three.

Captain of the Italian national team. Ballon d'Or winner Cannavaro central defender, Brazilian midfielder Emerson, and ...... Most importantly a person. Fabio Capello has always been a heavy player for French striker Trezeguet.

Trezeguet went to Real Madrid and he was Capello's best centre-forward.

As a result, the future of another native who was supposed to join Real Madrid becomes unpredictable......

"Bundesliga side Bayern Munich have officially asked Manchester United about the price of Ruud van Nistelrooy. Before the World Cup, the relationship between the Dutch striker and Alex Ferguson had been completely broken. He also didn't have Van Basten's trust at the World Cup. Looks like the Dutch need to start over in a different place."

Don shut up Evan. Dogotti office mainland satellite TV, hold the remote control in your hand and play with it.

"That's where you go. Tony? Dogetty asked.

Don nodded, "That's right. We need a player who is absolutely dominant in the box. I can't think of a better fit than him."

Sitting opposite, Alan also nodded slightly: "From a business point of view. If Van Nistelrooy can come. Then it can greatly stimulate the sales of our terracotta. He's a truly world-class player." This time the two men were completely on the same page.

After listening to the two people's statement, Evan. Dogetty was silent for a moment, then he raised his head and looked at Done, "With such a world-class Earth star, you should know what kind of treatment he will ask for?" ”

"Of course, we may need to pay him more than the team's highest salary right now. But we have an advantage to take advantage of." Donn cocks up his index finger.

"Oh?" Evan. Dogetty and Alan. Adams was intrigued by what Donn called "an advantage."

"Van Nistelrooy will soon be thirty years old. He didn't have a good time at Manchester United last season and didn't get used again at the World Cup, with almost everyone believing his career was coming to an end. He should think about such a thing as retirement, it is impossible for him to recreate the glory of his 'King of the Little Forbidden Zone' back then. His career is starting to decline...... In this case, no one will give him a higher salary than he does at Manchester United, not even our rivals Bayern Munich. So if he can come, it will be the highest salary in the team, but I think it can be within what the club can afford."

After listening to Don's analysis, Evan. Doggty set his sights on Allen, and he wanted to hear from the marketing manager and financial advisor.

Alan pondered for a moment. He said: "The runners-up finish in the Champions Cup gave us a lot of money for the TV broadcast, plus the prize money for winning after each game...... The club have plenty of money in the transfer market this summer for Tony to move.

Hearing this answer, the corners of Don's mouth raised, which was what he wanted to hear.

And, given Van Nistelrooy's influence and predictable returns, it's worth the money. I agree with this transfer plan."

Alan agreed, and Evan would not have any objections: "In that case, Tony, let's go to you and do it. We can make contact with Manchester United now."

"Then I'm going to get busy." Don stood up, intending to take his leave.

Evan stopped him, "Tony, have you heard about Anelkadi?" ”

Don looked back at Allen, who was sitting on the sand, and nodded, "I heard."

"Well, is there anything you can do?"

"I called and no one answered." Donn shook his head. The players are on vacation and I can't reach him. We'll have to wait until we re-train."

Evan thought for a moment and waved his hand: "I know, you go get busy."

Don turned around and took his leave.

Manchester United, Carrington, Manchester.

"What?" The old handsome Ferguson looked at the fax in his hand and felt a little incredible. Nottingham Forest want to buy the Dutch? Tony. Is there something wrong with Donn's brain? ”

His assistant Queiroz sat across from him and shrugged.

"Doesn't he know what Manchester United's heritage is? We're not idiots like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool who would give players away to rivals.'

Ferguson is not at all right that United will rarely sell their players to their main rivals in the league in the transfer market. To give a simple example, there has been no player deal between them and Liverpool for 42 years, both of whom are big names in English football.

"Have you now confirmed that Nottingham Forest is our main rival, Sir?"

"What do you say?" Ferguson looked at Queiroz and asked. Who held us down last season? ”

Queiroz disagreed: "Of course, they were higher than us last season...... But, sir. I don't think the Forest team has the quality to threaten us in the long term, they've been more of a thug in the past two seasons, and they're just a little bit luckier. If you look at last season's exhaustion they worked so hard to break down at the end, it's clear that they simply don't have the strength to be really strong. Our main competitors are Arsenal and Chelsea."

After listening to the assistant's analysis, Ferguson stared at him for a while, and then said: "Do you know why you didn't succeed after going to Real Madrid, Queiroz? ”

"Huh?"

"Needless to say, reject the Nottingham woodland offer."

Ferguson waved his hand and put the matter to rest.

"What a fucking damn one!" Don cursed. He has just received a response from Manchester United, who have rejected Forest's offer of £10 million for Ruud van Nistelrooy. They rejected us! ”

"Of course." Chris Rac sat on the sand on the sand in his office and crossed his legs. Everyone knows what kind of person Ferguson is. He's not going to sell his player to a major competitor, even if he has to."

Don, a new member of the coaching staff, nodded in agreement.

Donn paced up and down the office restlessly. Is there no way? ”

"What else can be done? I didn't approve of you buying Van Nistelrooy land from the beginning, Tony." Chris Lak shrugged his shoulders and said, "There hasn't been a player deal between Manchester United and Liverpool for 42 years."

"We're not Liverpool." Donn paused, "Liverpool and Manchester United are both the most influential teams in England, and it's normal for them to hate each other because everyone wants to be the dominant team in England. What about us? We're just small characters......" he held out his little thumb.

Another turn. When he returned to his desk, he said to the two, "Help me contact Van Nistelrooy's agent, I need to talk to him. Learn about the Dutch land. And then...... I'll have to meet Ferguson again."

Hearing him say this, Don and Chris Rac almost got up from their seats. They stared at Donn with wide eyes.

"Are you crazy, Tony?" Chris Rac cried out.

"Don't make a fuss." Don glared at him. It's not that I haven't met him, and it's not that I don't have any personal friends. How about meeting friends? I just invited him to drink."

"I just don't think it's possible for Ferguson to accept your invitation......"

"Don't think of him like a gesmire in a ghost castle. If Arsene Wenger had invited him for a drink, he probably wouldn't have accepted it, and the others would have had no problem. Van Nistelrooy can you put me in touch with Ferguson...... I'll do it myself."

Once things were settled, Donn called Pierce. Bruce agreed to give him a small interview. When it comes to Anelka's recent events, Donn claims he doesn't know. As for Anelkadi, the two older brothers and Benitez appear in the same restaurant. It could just be a coincidence. If that Spanish restaurant is really delicious and the craftsmanship is good. Then it is normal to attract people to go, and then it is understandable to meet Benitez by chance.

In a word. Instead of criticising Anelka for secretly contacting Liverpool, he insisted he trusted his players.

“…… We all know Anelkadi in the past. But now he's having a good time at Nottingham Forest and he's on good terms with his team-mates. We also reached the Champions Cup final together. I don't think he could have any problems. We can work together for a long time."

Here Don has just announced his trust in Anelka, and Liverpool manager Benitez has also come out to refute the rumors, saying that he has definitely not bypassed Nottingham Forest Club and contacted the player's agent privately. Their presence at the same restaurant was what Donn called a "coincidence", while he also said that Liverpool would not be interested in Anelka at the moment. He won't let the team bring in Anelka.

Apparently there was a private approach to Ashley at Chelsea FC. Cole. After being troubled by Arsenal to FIFA, Benitez was much more cautious.

This kind of speech is not uncommon in football. Exactly how much credibility there is, the public doesn't seem to care. They only value results. Just like the president of Real Madrid FC Florentino insisted that Real Madrid would not be interested in Beckham, and the result?

No one will believe the words "we don't sell" and "we don't buy either" now, and these words are not for the general public and fans.

Finding Ruud van Nistelrooy's agent and inviting Ferguson didn't go hand in hand at the same time, with Donn first contacting Ganestelrooy's agent and asking him about his intention to leave Manchester United and join Forest. The broker stated that this is a suggestion that deserves serious consideration.

After all, the Forest team has just won the Champions League runners-up, and the prestige and influence are not the same as they were a season ago.

But the agent didn't reply to Don right away. Instead, tell him that now Fanny is on vacation. I won't bother him, I'll talk to him in detail when he comes back, and let Don know when I get the results.

Don expressed understanding and respect for this decision.

Although he didn't get a definite answer, the other party finally didn't directly refuse, and there was still room for discussion.

After getting the agent out of the way, Donn called Ferguson.

Ferguson was a little surprised to receive a call from Don Dundy, but he laughed instead after listening to Don Dundy's "excuse".

"You have this leisure, Mr. Donne."

"We are enemies on the football field, and we can still be friends off the football field, right?" Donn replied.

"Of course, I'm not some narrow-minded person." Ferguson implicitly satirized Arsene Wenger.

For the grievances between the two old marshals, Tang En has no intention of getting involved.

"I don't like beer or whiskey, though."

"Of course, you like red wine." Don put a lot of effort into understanding Ferguson, and only by doing what he liked could the topic go more smoothly.

"So, Mr. Donne, have you prepared any good wine?"

Ferguson asked suddenly. Caught Don a little off guard. He planned to settle the matter with Ferguson before starting to prepare, otherwise if he spent money on things, and finally Ferguson refused the invitation, he would really spend money in vain.

Hearing that the phone was speechless, Ferguson laughed proudly: "Mr. Donn. I'm going to see a horse race the day after tomorrow, so why don't you come along? ”

Tang En was stunned: "Didn't you say I invited?" ”

"Of course you ask, I invite you to see Marseille, and all the expenses are up to you."
