Volume 5 Red Chapter 99 His Majesty the King (Keep asking for a monthly pass!) )
When Nottingham Forest landed at Birmingham Airport with the trophy, they were welcomed from Birmingham all the way to Nottingham. The highway turned into a red streamer, carrying the news of Nottingham's Forest to its hometown to Nottingham. London's Heathrow Airport was not chosen because the police did not want the Chelsea fans who were there to greet the Chelsea team clash with the Nottingham Forest fans who came to greet Nottingham Forest, lest it lead to tragedy
This grand occasion was broadcast live by BBC TV. This is the first time since the Champions Cup restructuring that there has been a successful defending champion, and this team is from England and is the pride of England. Naturally, it's time to make a lot of noise.
To that end, the BBC is also planning a two-hour DVD, "Red Europe", which details Nottingham Forest's success this season. The DVD invited the famous BBC football commentator John Brown. Mortenson is responsible for the narration, and when the production is completed, it will go on sale, with the proceeds going to Nottingham Forest.
It's a small amount of money, and it's also Alan. Adams won it. In addition, the live broadcast of this homecoming, which has already been held at the city stadium in the evening, has also been sold. For today's Nottingham Forest Club, even if it's a penny, you have to earn it.
Tony. Donn has led the team to a Champions League and league title, and this season there have been plenty of TV bonuses and winnings, but the money is a drop in the bucket for the huge new stadium construction plan. Allan. Adams must continue to look for opportunities to make money.
On the plane back to Birmingham from Moscow, everyone was happy. Adams also didn't talk to Don about the summer commercial game, he knew that Donn was a little resistant to commercialization, and he didn't want to spoil his mood now.
On the way back to Nottingham, everyone was happy, but their vacation time was barely available this summer. This may be the price you have to pay to win the championship.
On May 23, the team was disbanded. Players with national team assignments will head to their respective national team training camps to prepare for the European Championships starting in June. When the European Championships are over at the end of June, they will have only one week off before they will assemble and head to China to embark on their summer commercial tour in that faraway country. China, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, and by the time they returned to England, the Charity Shield was not far away. Next up is the Premier League and UEFA Super Cup for the new season. There are players in the team who are on the mission of the national Olympic team, and they will also participate in the Beijing Olympics in August.
Looking at this schedule, it is fair to say that the Nottingham Forest players will not have any chance to rest from the start of last season until the end of next season.
In fact, don't look at Don on the way home all the time happy and excited. But in fact, as soon as there is a chance to quiet him alone, he will start to think about what Nottingham Forest will do next season.
In fact, he is not very much in favor of having a commercial tour this summer. If he had a choice, he would have preferred it last summer, so at least the team's time would not have been so tight. The players will also have plenty of rest.
But Alan told him that it couldn't be. Last summer, it was the day of the Asian Cup, and East Asia was paying attention to the Asian Cup held in the four Southeast Asian countries, and there was a lack of attention to panning for gold in Asia at this time. The effect is not ideal. And what about next summer? At that time, Beckham will end his two-year contract with Nottingham Forest, and without this cash cow, Allen will not go to Asia with all his labor, even if he wants to pan for gold, I am afraid he will not be able to find anything...... So it's a matter of calculation. Only this summer is the most suitable.
So Donn asked him, isn't it more distracting to have the European Championship and the Olympics this summer? Allen said that the Olympics are multi-sport games that have little to do with football and will not have any direct conflict. The timing of the European Championship is better, and Asians who are enthusiastic about football will have a higher desire for football after being re-activated by the European Cup. At this time. Nottingham Forest, who are double champions, went to Asia, and it was simply ...... In Chinese words, it is "charcoal in the snow".
So, there is still no better time than this year.
Don was persuaded by Allen - what if he wasn't convinced? He's not the owner of the club, the boss agrees to things, and he has to do it. However, he made a request to Allen that the team's first-team squad must be strengthened as we don't get a break in the summer and face a multi-fronted battle next season. There are a few players who need to be brought in with sufficient quality. He has the final say on these candidates.
Alan agreed. said that when the time comes, he can observe the European Cup by himself, and when he sees the good ones, he can do it.
Speaking of the European Cup. Don has been very busy this summer, and after the disbandment of the team, after a short break, Donn will travel with BBC TV to Austria and Switzerland to be a guest commentator on the BBC's live TV. Since the World Cup, a lot of viewers have fallen in love with Tony. Donn's style of commenting on the game, sharp and to the point but without a sense of humor, the BBC also conformed to public opinion, and once again invited Donn to be a guest commentator, this time without England, he can speak freely, without fear of hurting national pride, everyone wants to hear how he buries those European giants. Don, on the other hand, will be active on a number of pitches, observing players with potential who deserve to be bought by Forest. As busy as Don will be a dozen full-time scouts from Forest, who will be in the stands at every game.
Winning back-to-back European Champions Cups and becoming a double champion, Donne's quest for glory and victory did not stop there. His goal is to create a new dynasty and a new era in European football, just like Real Madrid, who have won the European Champions Cup for five consecutive years, Inter Milan in the big international era, and AC Milan, the Dutch trio......
To make Nottingham Forest all the representatives and symbols of European football in this period.
This goal is quite ambitious, so it is important to continue working on it. Inviting the best players to join and winning in a row makes people feel the desperate oppression, the stability that has not changed for 10,000 years, and the domineering that defies the crowd. Even a hundred years from now, the Nottingham Forest of this period will be etched in history!
It's only a few championships that I've won. If you want to stop and enjoy the local language, it's too small......
As for who will leave the team this summer, Donn has basically figured it out. Since the team is currently in good shape and has a stable and excellent record, there is no need for a major change in the team's personnel. Nor will they dispose of their own players at a low price in order to get rid of their burdens in a hurry. Don insisted that since he was a member of the European championship team, his value should not be too low. He had to be satisfied before he nodded in agreement.
If Zim Bonda can be sold for a good price. Then sell it, and Don won't do anything to keep it. On the one hand, he is older and does not quite meet the requirements of the team; On the other hand, he and Bendtner's in-house brawl left a very bad impression on Donn.
As for the fight and brawl on the other side of the incident, Niklas. Bendtner, Donn was highly tolerant. Does this seem a little unfair to Zim Bonda? But who told Bendtner to be younger and have more potential than him? When Van Nistelrooy gets older, the position of the team's main center forward must belong to Bendtner.
As for Sidwell...... Don didn't want him to go, but if the other party had to go, Don didn't have any position to stay. After all, he came to Nottingham Forest for one season. Except for playing in some win-less games, he didn't get a chance to play in important games. As a twenty-six-year-old player, the reality is too harsh.
As for Ribery? He has just been voted Player of the Match in the Champions League final and could even win the Champions League Player of the Season. It's been hot for a long time, but Don will never let him go. No matter how high the transfer fees offered by those big clubs to Ribery, he was unmoved. Frank. Franck Franck Ribery is his own lineage, the heart of this team, the main framework. Moving him would be tantamount to dismantling the team. Don wouldn't let that happen to him.
There is also Grosso, and Donn is sincerely intent on selling the unaccustomed Italian "great left-back". The season is over, and Don must admit that he was blindsided. The man's most glorious moment came at the World Cup in Germany, and his career went on a downward spiral. His characteristics and style doomed him to be the left-back that Donn needed, and it was better to use him than to use Layton. What about Barnes.
Grosso certainly doesn't like the food and weather in the UK either, his English is slow to improve and he has some problems communicating with his team-mates. In short, this is a lonely ghost who is outside the team system. Huang Jianxiang made a thunderbolt and made his reputation overseas. Don, who is still a fan, has been misled.
Now is the time to correct that mistake – Donadoni has called Grosso, who has not played more than 20 games in a season at Nottingham Forest, to the national team if he has the chance to play at the European Championships – and Donn believes he is still better suited to the national team - and maybe could find him a buyer.
Others, due to the success of the Dun Ground rotation this season, most have been given enough appearances. There has not been a conflict because of the lack of playing opportunities and the desire to leave the team. Done can continue next season with a complete Nottingham Forest team.
When the convoy arrived in Nottingham, Donn was greeted by a spectacular spectacle of "Empty Alleys", cheered by everyone at the Town Square, with the silver Champions Cup laid in front of the crowd and various banner banners unfurled below. Everyone was cheering. It's like winning the Champions Cup for the first time.
A reporter saw this scene and sighed: "If Brian. Clough was able to live until now. I don't know how it would feel to see this scene? ”
In the Municipal Stadium, in front of tens of thousands of spectators on the ground. The players filled the Champions Cup with champagne and then took a sip of it, which was really a celebratory wine.
After wrapping up the appearance at the Plaza de la Mayor, the team had dinner with the Mayor at the Mayor's Mansion before heading to the City Stadium for a final grand celebration.
At the banquet, Mr. Mayor, who is a fan of Nottingham Forest, held Tony Bush tightly. Donn's hands, excited can't help themselves.
"This is a great achievement, Tony! The defending champions haven't been seen since the Champions Cup was restructured! Now this honour belongs to Nottingham and belongs to Nottingham Forest! Well done! Now that the world has rediscovered the city of Nottingham, I'll have to consider whether or not to award you an honorary citizen, Tony. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Mayor. But I was originally a citizen of Nottingham. "Don is still relatively sober, and the most excited time has passed.
"Then erect a statue for you, haha!"
Don smiled and didn't answer, in his opinion, the mayor was completely drunk. Statue? Why don't he do it, put it up and let the birds go up and? Seeing a Don has made me feel like I look in the mirror every day, do I want another mirror? I'll talk about it when I'm dead, Mr. Mayor......
"Cheers. Mr. Mayor! He digressed and held up the champagne in his hand.
"Cheers, Tony! Can you tell me what you have planned for next season? "At the dinner, Mr. Mayor looked more like a regular Nottingham Forest fan.
"Of course it's still a champion. Until you get annoyed, Mr. Mayor. Don blinked.
"That's good! But I won't get bored! There are never too many champions! Ha ha! ”
The City Stadium in the evening was once again the focus of attention for all Nottingham Forest fans.
In addition to some theatrical performances, the most anticipated thing here is that the members of the championship team appeared with two Champions Cup trophies, one league championship trophy, and a League Cup championship trophy.
The celebration party was carefully planned by the club. The choice to let these trophies appear together is also an indication of an attitude - fully affirming and praising Tony. Donn's achievements and hype about them are in danger of shaping him into the second "Brian. Clough: "Ground stance.
The stadium lights dimmed, and only a few spotlight lampposts converged. A circular light spot was formed, and all the Forest players had to be shrouded in a pillar of light and run out of the corridor to receive the cheers of the fans alone.
They ran out one by one, and the cheers of the scene were endless.
It's Ves' turn. Mogan. As the team's third captain, he stepped onto the pitch from the staff to the League, the first trophy won by the Donn-era Forest.
Seeing the first trophy qualify, the cheers of the fans went to the next level.
Next it was Eastwood and David Beckham's turn, and the two of them came into the spotlight with the league trophy in their hands.
"Thirty years later, once again in the top flight! For the first time, the Premier League trophy appeared at the City Stadium! "John was invited to host the whole evening. Mortenson shouted excitedly.
"What's next?" He asked.
Nearly 30,000 fans in the stadium responded in unison: "European champions!! ”
That's right, Frank. Ribery walked out with a replica of the Champions Cup he won last season and waved to the stands. As an important project in these two seasons to help the team win the European championship. Although he was not the captain, he still won the honor of taking the trophy alone.
After Ribery, it was George's turn. Wood. As the current captain of the team, he made his grand debut with another Champions Cup.
The cheers outside were deafening. Don stood in the middle of the corridor, waiting to call him out.
Just then, Chrislak and Don ran up from behind, still holding a bunch of red ground stuff in their hands.
"Take off your suit. Running up to Donne, he shouted.
"What?" Don thought it was strange.
"Don't worry so much, take it off!" Chris Rac is holding something if not in both hands. I can't wait to get my hands on it myself.
Don still obediently took off his suit. Honestly, he also felt hot......
But then something that made him feel even hotter appeared.
Chrisrak shook off the pile of red in his hand—it turned out to be the king's red fur coat!
When he saw this thing in Chrislac's hand, he was stunned for a moment.
Then Chris Rac didn't wait for his reaction. He draped the piece over Donn's shoulders. White fluff on a red background, with a golden pattern, Don doesn't know if this is a real guy, but it feels good to the touch.
"How does it feel?" Chris Rac asked with a grin. Before Don could answer, he slapped his head and turned around to get a crown from Don's hand!
In the white light of the corridor, the crown jewel still shimmered dazzlingly.
"It's not a real guy, is it?" Donn whistled.
"Imitation. Don replied.
Chrisrak placed the crown squarely on Donn's head, then stepped back in satisfaction, tilting his head as if admiring a work of art. "Nice, very feeling. He smiled.
"That's ......," Donn still didn't understand what he meant.
"How can a king who wants to go out and receive the cheers of all the people be so shabby?" Chrislak clapped his hands and laughed, "It's very imposing now!" ”
Don also laughed: "That's a good idea, I like it." He unceremoniously accepted the title of "king".
"The people in the stands don't know yet. Chrislak pointed outside, his face mysteriously excited.
The long hem dragged onto the hand, and Don grabbed the ends of his chest with his hands to prevent the heavy king's cloak from slipping down. Then he walked out of the corridor.
John. Mortensen is still stirring up emotions among fans: "Next, last ......"
Before he finished speaking, there were already eager fans who shouted the mystery to the mystery: "Tony. Donn—"
“yes! Let's welcome ......"
Tony, dressed like a king. Don walked out slowly, and after seeing his appearance, the audience was fried.
Men and women, young and old, all screamed like crazy, and one of the players whistled: "Boss, that's cool!" ”
Don, who walked out of the corridor, stood on the sidelines, holding the neckline of Da Yu with one hand, and grabbing the crown on his head with the other free hand, and raising it high towards the night sky.
Both the fans in the stands and the players standing in the middle of the stadium leaned down, raised their arms in a prostration, and their mouths whined with excitement.
“…… Welcome to His Majesty!! ”
Mortenson finally shouted out the prepared lines.
Tang En held his head high and calmly accepted this special treatment. He didn't feel embarrassed at all, he deserved the honor, he considered himself the king of this team.
The four trophies are like the four sparkling jewels in the crown, shining brightly, showing the world the king's great exploits.
"He's like a king......," exclaimed Chrislac, who stood at the crossing.
"Nope. Don shook his head and denied his words, "He's a king." ”
Don stood in the arena holding his crown aloft, and it was pitch black all around, and the pillars of light seemed to fall from the sky through the night sky, enveloping him. Under the light, the crown in his hand emitted a dazzling light, making people dare not look directly. He stood in this light, proudly holding his head high, facing some dazzling light, unstoppable.
I have brought glory to my subjects, and I am your king.
