Don felt that he had been deceived, not that he had been deceived, but that he had been deceived by his own wishful thinking. He would even think that all the players under him were obedient and well-behaved dolls, just like the data in the FM game, which had no meaning except for their names.

It seems that the effects of the crossing have not completely disappeared......

Sometimes he really plays it like a football manager game.

But Bendtner gave him a hard slap in the face. Tell him that this is a real world, very, very realistic, so realistic that anyone on the team can get out of his control and pursue the future he wants. Ribery was a wake-up call, and Bendtner was about to become a reality.

But Donn wasn't going to just let Bendtner go.

What's more, to sell to Manchester City?

The day after a phone call with Bendtner's father, Donn turned down City's offer of £18 million in an interview.

'Bendtner is the future of the team and we wouldn't be stupid enough to give him away to other clubs. "The tone is very tough, and there is no room for any upper volume.

Wilford's car park is getting more and more crowded, with the latest cars filling the empty space – and Nottingham Forest's stars are coming to train.

Bendtner sat in his black Volkswagen and was in no hurry to get out. Around him listened to the empty cars, their owners already in the locker room.

With all the windows closed, Bendtner was on the phone with his dad.

Although he has been in England for four years, his family is still in Denmark and he lives alone in Nottingham. At first, he lived in a dormitory provided by the team, but then moved out and rented a house, unlike other teammates, and until now he has not bought a house in the city.

"Dad. He refused. ”

"I know, it's all in the media. ”

"What did you talk to him about yesterday?"

Thomas heard some concern in his son's voice, and he smiled and comforted his son, "Don't worry. I've taken all the blame on myself, and I have nothing to do with you. We plan for the worst, and even if you don't make it in the end, he won't embarrass you. ”

Bendtner was slightly relieved to hear his dad say that. Just "slightly", now Bendtner trains under a lot of psychological pressure every day. As soon as he sees his head on the sidelines wearing sunglasses, he will feel that a pair of eyes are staring at him.

As a "rebel general" who is determined to escape from this kingdom, while carefully planning his escape plan, he must also beware of the king, once the plan is revealed, he will be punished very harshly and cruelly...... This is not an exaggeration at all. Bendtner and Anelka are not the same.

The French wanted to go, and Don wanted to drive him away, but he needed to punish him before leaving.

And Bendtner wanted to go on his own. Don didn't want him to go. Then the matter is not simply to punish him and then let him go, it is to "rebel" against the will of the king.

Can you do this kind of thing without psychological pressure?

"Train with peace of mind, you don't have to think about anything. I'll take care of everything. The father comforted his son, "A reporter asked this question and remained silent, don't give any interviews......

"But Daddy. If I don't take a stand, how can I put pressure on him? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll put pressure on him. I don't want to get you involved, I'll do the bad guys......"

At this time. Bendtner's ear rang for a knock on the glass, startling him.

Turning his head, he found that it was Lennon who had just arrived. He leaned out the window and gestured to himself and asked him why he hadn't gone to the dressing room yet.

"I'm sorry, Dad, my teammates are coming for me......"

"Ah...... Okay, there you go. Oh! Remember, if Don comes to you, make an excuse to push ......"

Bendtner hung up the phone in a hurry. Get out of the car.

Lennon looked at him with a grin: "Who are you calling for so long?" Girlfriend? ”

Bendtner was worried and didn't know how to answer, and Lennon had already found a reason for him. He smiled a little stiffly, "yes." ”

"Oh - how long have you known each other? We don't even know it? You kid is very secretive, wow, you must be a big beauty! ”

"Hehe, I will have the opportunity to call out and meet you in the future. ”

Bendtner absentmindedly answered Lennon's question about how beautiful his girlfriend was, and left the parking lot with him.

In the middle of training, Donn approached Bendtner and wanted to talk alone. Keeping his father's teachings in mind, Bendtner rejected the offer on the pretext that he was already on a date with his girlfriend. And in order to prove that this date is a must-go. He also said that because today is his girlfriend's birthday.

Don tilted his head to look at Bendtner for a moment, and he felt furious in his heart. I almost confessed to myself. At this time, Don nodded in agreement, but before leaving, he said, "Tomorrow I hope the two of us have a good talk." ”

As soon as Donn turned, Bendtner's eyebrows drooped—what reason was he going to find tomorrow......

As the training continued, Donn stood aside and watched when the phone in his pocket rang.

He knew there was only one person to call him at such a time, as he had just rejected City's offer earlier.

He took out his mobile phone, stood on the edge of the training ground and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Thomas. Mr. Bendtner. He said in a cold voice.

"Hello, Tony. Mr. Donn. There was a slight smile in the voice over there.

"You must be annoyed that I rejected City's offer?"

"No, how could it be? I understand that because their offer is simply too low and my son shouldn't be worth just £18 million. ”

"It's not about price, Mr. Bendtner. Your son is not for sale at the club, he is the future of Nottingham Forest, and he will be the team's leading goalscorer and number one centre-forward for the next 10 years! Don accentuated his tone, hoping to make the old man understand how important his son's position was.

"As far as I know, quite a few clubs claim that someone is not for sale. But as soon as it changed hands, it was sold to the highest bidder. Probably having a hunch that Don would be angry because of this sentence, he hurriedly continued, "I agree with your first sentence, Mr. Don. It's really not about the price, it's about the player's will. As I said, my son is not fit to stay here anymore, because you will not be able to keep the promise you made to him...... No, don't say what the future holds. I want you to respect the player's personal will. Didn't you just agree to let Piquee come back to Barcelona? Why can't we respect my son's ideas in the same way? ”

"It's completely different!" Donn growled.

Of course, this is different. He definitely didn't spend as much effort on Piqué as he did on Bendtner.

"I don't think it makes a difference, you have Ruud van Nistelrooy to play as a centre-forward anyway. ”

Don felt that there was nothing to talk about with this stubborn old man who insisted that he didn't believe him, so he hung up the phone rudely and stood there sulking.

Manchester City raised their offer again, which was from the £20 million they were offering to buy Bendtner.

After a dark battle, Manchester United FC won Berbatov for 30.75 million pounds, and there are fewer and fewer good centre-forwards in the transfer market. If City don't hurry, the transfer window will close, and even if Bendtner does go, he will have to wait until January next year. Half a year is not a long time, but it is not a short time. Who knows what will happen in between?

At the same time, Manchester City finally succeeded in taking down the Brazilian star Robinho, who had a conflict with the top management in Real Madrid, for 40 million pounds. The deal left Schuster very, very unhappy. But what's the solution? He is not a manager working for an English club, and in Spanish clubs, the club's sporting director has more power than he as a manager. He didn't dare to do anything except complain that he wasted a summer, the planned winger Ronaldo did not come, the original winger Robinho left, and now the team only has Robben as a winger, which has a very negative impact on the team's tactics.

So far. The transfer curtain is almost coming to an end, and the world is watching the news of Manchester City chasing Bendtner. If not, this could be the last bombshell before the summer transfer window closes.

Bendtner's rise to prominence with Nottingham Forest's three seasons in the Premier League and European football makes him look like he's not just a rising star, he's a star of the house. He was a first-choice centre-forward in Denmark and a consistent goalscoring rate at Forest, and many of the team's managers thought Bendtner had a great future, if it weren't for Donn's tightness. There were already people lining up to buy him.

And this time. Don finally met a rival who was good at stalking and had a lot of skin. The most important thing is that this opponent is very, very rich.

They couldn't buy Ruud van Nistelrooy because the Dutchman didn't want to leave the forest and go to Manchester City, so Donn and the club were confident to refuse even if they refused, after all, no matter how much money they paid, as long as the players themselves didn't want to leave, then no one could do anything. Bendtner's situation is completely different, and now it's the players themselves who really want to go......

Don waited patiently for Bendtner to finish his girlfriend's birthday before finding him again. This time he's going to talk to the Dane kid face-to-face anyway.

"After the training, shall we talk in person? About recent transfer rumours. ”

"It's ......," Bendtner was a little embarrassed.

"Your dad won't let you talk to me, will he?"

Bendtner looked up at his head in surprise.

He didn't tell me, but a fool can guess the connection. Donn said with a smile. "I think it's necessary for me to talk to you, I want to know what's going on in your mind. You know, the day before yesterday, I figured out one thing: I thought I knew a lot about people I could see every day, but I didn't know anything about him. ”

After saying this, Don tilted his head slightly, and looked at Bendtner in front of him.

Bendtner was hesitating inwardly, should he listen to his father, or should he listen to his boss's words?

In the end, he chose the latter. He knew what his father was afraid of when he didn't let him talk to the chief. Ribery was brought to Mallorca by his agent just to hide his head, but after the boss flew to Mallorca in the end, Ribery's attitude immediately changed.

The leader is an expert in language, and he is best at using words to deceive people. He knows that. But he also had faith in his will. No matter how nice the leader said this time, he wouldn't stay.

It's not that he's hard-hearted. It's that he knows that things have come to this point. If all his efforts are wasted, he chooses to stay in the end, and he is not sure that the boss will not find a chance to put on his little shoes. It seems that he has a big heart, but in fact he is a careful eye. The things you are sorry for him, he will always remember.

Once there is the slightest crack in the relationship between people and the earth, it is impossible to restore it to the most perfect time. It is inevitable that the two will get along a little awkwardly.

From this point of view, there is no way back for him this time.

He nodded.

Don smiled: "After training at noon, I will invite you to dinner." What do you like? ”

"It's in the restaurant. "After Bendtner made a decision. The mood is much lighter. "I don't care about what I eat. ”

At the lunch break, most of the players chose to go home, and only a small number stayed in the training base restaurant to eat.

Donn and Bendtner found a small corner and began their lunch of "drunkards don't want to drink".

The two of them were silent at first, and when they were almost done, Don En wiped his mouth with a napkin, and he was about to speak. Bendtner looked at him and stopped moving.

"Your father said to me. Are you leaving? ”

Bendtner was prepared, and he nodded without hesitation.

"Can you tell me why?" Tang En was pleasant, and he didn't mean to get angry at all.

"I don't feel like it's being reused here. ”

So Donn started to give him numbers again, which proved that his appearances for the Forest team have gradually increased in recent seasons, and the goal rate has been very consistent. He even gave some important examples of his performances to prove that he is really an important member of the team.

Bendtner just shook his head: "Honestly, sir...... I don't like the orientation you've given me. I'm a center forward and my job is to score. But more often than not, I have to pass the ball to my team-mates on the pitch......"

It dawned on Donn. Is that what he meant when he wasn't reused?

However, this complicates the problem. In Donn's system, the center must not be used to score goals, but more often than not, they need to contribute to the team's overall attack, and assists are a very important metric. Ruud van Nistelrooy has not actually diminished since arriving at Nottingham Forest, but he has never been the top scorer in the league again because most of the time he has to sacrifice his position in the box. Pull to the midfield, or even the wings to pick up teammates, protect the ball and make a bridgehead. As a result, he naturally scored fewer goals than he did at Manchester United. But Van Nistelrooy did not complain in the slightest, nor did he ever reveal his displeasure with this arrangement, both publicly and privately. This is one reason why Donn is particularly fond of Van Nistelrooy.

Now Bendtner and Donn have completely different tactical habits, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

"Why do you think that? Niklas, the center is also part of the team, and you do that to help the team. It doesn't hurt you. ”

"I don't want to be a center forward who has more assists than goals. Chief. Bendtner said categorically that he had a plan in mind. 'I'm only interested in scoring goals. ”

Don grinned. "I thought it was at Nottingham Forest. Everyone was used to my tactics, but I didn't expect there to be an opponent here. If the team can't win, does it matter if the striker scores more goals? ”

'I don't think if the strikers don't score, the team can't win. ”

Hearing him say this, Don sighed, "I'm more determined now that you should continue to experience growth...... You're saying the opposite, Niklas. A team that doesn't defend can't win a game, and defense is the foundation of everything. ”

Bendtner spread his hands, "That's our disagreement, sir. I'm more aggressive, and you're more conservative. ”

"Huh, I'm conservative?" The outside media has used this word to describe him, but Don didn't expect to hear it from the mouths of his players. "Okay, if you can win the championship, I will admit it if I am conservative. Don't you like champions? Don asked rhetorically, staring at the bold boy in front of him.

"I like it. But I want to win the championship in my own way. ”

Bendtner looked directly at Donn and didn't flinch in the slightest.

"Good, good. Don pushed open the cutlery in front of him and stood up. "Then you can use your set to win the championship!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

I really didn't expect it to end up like this......

Thomas. Bendtner was pleased to hear his son's retelling: "It seems that he agreed with you to leave, son!" ”

As a result, the next day, Donn again rejected Manchester City's £20 million transfer offer. The reason is no different from before: "Bendtner is not for sale, he is the future of the team, I will not give him away like a fool and give him money!" ”

It's hard to guess what he's thinking. It is clear that the first day of the conversation with Bendtner was unhappy, why it was immediately as if he had made a private agreement with Bendtner.

Just after he had turned down City for the second time, another member of the club finally couldn't sit still and came to Done himself to talk to him candidly.
