Buying Tony from Pique? Don and Don soon left Barcelona and Spain.

The Premier League starts earlier than other countries' leagues, with full start in mid-August, so Premier League teams are also preparing earlier than other countries' teams.

Now for Donn, there's one issue that needs to be addressed – his partner's coaching certificate.

Tony? Don has an English A-level coaching certificate, of course, this is a previous exam, and it has nothing to do with Don who crossed over. And even though Don is the original Tony? Don, but his current Chinese identity does not have any first-level coaching certificate.

Strictly speaking, the FA will not let him coach a Premier League team without a coaching certificate. If it's like this in the lower leagues, you will always turn a blind eye and don't see it at all. This is the tradition of English football, and if retired players can be doctors with white gloves, why can't retired players wear suits and become team coaches?

For almost all English football clubs, having a player who has been with the club for many years retire as a coach is the best reward for loyalty. And loyalty is what they value most.

Don is not a retired Forest player, but he could be an assistant coach - before the FA got into trouble with Nottingham Forest - and if anyone criticizes this, it is not because Don does not have a coaching certificate, but because he is too young and secondly he is not English.

Tang En and Tang have no way to solve these two points, they can't let Tang change his nationality, or change his age or something. At present, we can only ask Don to take a coaching certificate first, which adds some convincing power to the appointment of this new assistant coach - how can you trust this assistant coach if you are young, non-nationals don't even have a coaching certificate?

Tang En specifically asked Don before making such an arrangement, and Tang had no opinion on taking the coaching certificate again, he would definitely be able to pass the exam anyway.

So he threw Don in Nottingham, and Don flew away again.

He went to Denmark this time to complement the team's forward line.

The only person who could stay with Forest's forward line last season was Freddy? Eastwood and Pete? Crouch, two strikers is too little for a team that needs to play on multiple fronts.

Donn's transfer strategy this summer is mainly to grab the future hopefuls first, whether he is the main player of the Forest team in the future or sell it for money, it is very cost-effective. This is the case with Pique, for example.

He went to Denmark this time for a young striker who was not very famous at the time - Niklas? Bendtner (nicklas_bendtner).

This is a 1.91-meter-tall high school forward, but his foot skills are better than most high school forwards, with fast speed, excellent headers, strong body and outstanding skills...... These are his strengths, and of course his greatest strength is his youth.

In the first half of 2004, he made three appearances and scored three goals for Denmark under 16.

In Donne's memory, he was snatched by Arsenal in the summer of that year, and has been training for Arsenal's youth and reserve teams before being intercepted by Birmingham City in the 06-07 season, and was the main contributor to Birmingham's rush to the Premier League.

It's the summer of 2004, and if Done doesn't do it, Bendtner will be snatched away by Arsene Wenger. Although Donne has a good impression of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, he will not feel the slightest soft-hearted when it comes to such a matter related to the team's results. Flying straight to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, and contacting Bendtner's agent and himself with the method of dealing with Pique, it was followed by another negotiation...... The negotiations with Bendtner were a little tougher than the one with Pique.

First-team positions, a youthful squad, Premier League teams and UEFA Cup qualification are the four main conditions for Donn to attract players to the Forest team. It was tempting, but Bendtner was a little hesitant.

Wenger and Arsenal are too famous, and Bendtner is not the kind of person who grew up in a big club like Pique, and he doesn't know how deep the water is in the big club. Going to Arsenal would satisfy his vanity - the Premier League giants, and Nottingham Forest...... Has anyone heard of it?

Donn could only repeat his arguments for Bendtner's analysis of the pain of going to a second-tier bench for a big club and then having to go out on loan to play, as well as the benefits of being a first-team stand-up in a small team and being able to play games on a regular basis. What's more, the Forest team can still participate in the League Cup this season, and they are the winners of the English League Cup last season, and their reputation is not so bad.

However, the concept of giants is too ingrained, and for a young player playing in Denmark, it is too tempting for him to be called by the European giants. Wenger promised him that Arsenal's future must belong to him, although Bendtner knows that he will definitely not be able to play in the first team at Arsenal now, but it is also an honorable thing to be the Gunners' main striker in the future.

So Donn told him the story of the grievances of the giants, and moved out of Barcelona's young central defender Gerrard? Piqui is an example, Barcelona is also a giant, but Piqua is trying to escape. Now that he's part of Nottingham Forest, there's no need to worry about not playing.

Negotiations with Bendtner lasted three or four days, and the last Danish boy with long blond hair was finally persuaded by Donn. Agreed to refuse Arsene Wenger's call to go to Nottingham Forest.

Then, as was the case with Manchester United's Ferguson coach, Arsene Wenger received a call from his scout in Denmark telling him that Arsenal's inevitable talented Danish striker, known as 'Denmark's Ibrahimovic', Niklas? Bendtner, rubbed shoulders with them.

Like Ferguson's reaction, Wenger's first thought was that Ferguson was playing tricks behind his back, but he didn't expect the scouts to tell him that he was Nottingham Forest's manager Toney? Donn himself came to Copenhagen and took Bendtner with him.

Hearing this name, Wenger was stunned for a long time, and he thought about the battle in the rain again.

I saw that what I said at the beginning was about to be fulfilled soon.

The next time they met, it was already in the Premier League.

"Also, sir, there is something very interesting that I think you will be interested in hearing about."

"Huh?"

"That young Barcelona centre-back Gerrard that we were fighting with Manchester United some time ago? Piqui, do you still have an impression? ”

Arsene Wenger nodded: "Of course, it's a shame that he chose Manchester United. ”

The scout on the other end of the phone laughed: "Sir! Piquee didn't go to Manchester United and, like the Bendtner we were after, was snatched from halfway through. Although the news has not yet been announced, it is certain that this is the final result. Piquee is now a Nottingham Forest player! ”

Wenger was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

This season's Premier League is going to be interesting, right?

※※※ After getting Pique and Bendtner, Don no longer goes to recruit players in person, they have a perfect system, and this kind of thing can be done through phone calls and faxes, and every time he goes in person, what else can he do?

Evan? Dogotti is still in the United States with his wife and children, and he is in a good mood as Forest win a cup and Premier League qualification as he becomes the team's new chairman. He doesn't care about the affairs of the team, anyway, the team is managed by Tony, and Allen is in charge of the operation, so he doesn't need to do anything.

All they need to do is discuss something by fax or phone and make a decision.

In the meantime, Donn has recruited three new scouts for the team, plus the two who were already at the club, and the Forest team now has five scouts, which is not a small number for a team that has just been promoted to the Premier League. Of course, compared with giants like Manchester United and Arsenal whose scouts are all over the world, it is still not enough.

However, the construction of the team is a very long process, and you can't rush it, you have to take it step by step.

With a few days left until the team returns from vacation, Donn is even busier. He has a lot of questions to consider, which players in the transfer market are needed and can be bought by Forest, and which players in the team need to be given up after playing in the Super League. As for the warm-up match arrangement, the production of the team magazine, media interviews, etc...... Not to mention.

The biggest headache for him was how to introduce a young, seemingly inexperienced Chinese to the coaching staff of the Forest team. Evan didn't know who the new assistant coach was, and if he did, what would be the look on his face?

Don didn't think Evan would smile and pat himself on the shoulder and say, "Young man is good. ”

He also didn't think the players would be surprised by him: "Don't look at this assistant coach as young, he doesn't have a coaching certificate, he doesn't have a reputation, but he's actually very good!" And I really believed it.

He continues to dismiss his colleagues on the coaching staff, the team doctors in the medical team, the scouts, the turf workers, the chefs in the club's cafeteria...... And Ian who opened the door? McDonald would easily trust Don to be a qualified assistant coach who could help him a lot.
