Volume 4 The Storm Chapter 11 The New Man and the Old Man

Nottingham Forest 15 million bring in former Manchester United striker Rudd Luther. Fan. Nice ~ The deal was a surprise success......"

"Tony. Don is a big deal as soon as he makes a move! Ruud van Nistelrooy has signed a four-year contract with Forest. It's not good news for the English team......"

"Nottingham Forest fans have been speaking to the table and are excited to see the manager bring a world-class striker to the team......

"Even though our forward line isn't weak, who doesn't want to see it get stronger? Van Nistelrooy arrived, and we welcomed him with both hands. ”

According to the marketing department, the arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy greatly stimulated the club's shirt sales, with 720 shirts with the Dutchman's name and number printed on them sold in one day! That's a startling number......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I think Van Nistelrooy's arrival is just Tony. As the first step in Donn's ambitious plan, Nottingham Forest are not resigned to last season's 'double runner-up' results and will be hoping to make a breakthrough this season. Like all teams that performed well last season, Forest have increased their investment in the new season, and the owners of the club certainly want to pay off for their money, but I've seen too many teams that have lost so quickly after increasing their investment, and hopefully Donn's side won't be so mediocre......

'This is one of the most noteworthy transfers of the summer. Ruud van Nistelrooy did not leave England and chose to remain in the English League. We think the game between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United will be interesting to watch in the new season......

"Following Chelsea's purchase of Shepchenko and Newcastle's purchase of Martins, Forest have brought in Ruud van Nistelrooy from Manchester United, and this season will be very exciting in the English league......

……

The news of Ruud van Nistelrooy's move to Nottingham Forest has dropped a bombshell in the transfer market this summer.

The reason for this reaction is that Nottingham Forest's results last season were reminiscent. This kind of generosity must be due to great ideals. Nottingham Forest are expanding their strength, can they not make those competitors panic and suspicious?

World Football magazine just said that the Forest team is a strong team in the special plan for the new season, and Donn proved that this authoritative magazine is true with practical actions.

The last two seasons. The people bought by the Forest team may all have very good strength, but in terms of their own fame, Anelka is the most famous, but not the top in world football. Ruud van Nistelrooy was different, winning numerous individual and collective honours before the age of 30 as the Eredivisie's top scorer. Top scorer in the English League, top scorer in the UEFA Champions League, best player in the English League, best player in the Netherlands, these individual accolades are like a beautiful halo around the Dutch, colorful and dazzling. These accolades are incomparable to Anelka's.

Nicolas Anelka is most often judged for "how and how he is talented", while Ruud van Nistelrooy may not be considered a talented player, but he has the accolades in his hands.

Because the famous Brazilian striker Romario has a nickname - "King of the Penalty Area", Van Nistelrooy, who is also good at scoring goals, has a very similar nickname - "King of the Small Penalty Area", which vividly describes Van Nistelrooy's characteristics. He is one of the pure goalscorers who threatens more the closer you get to goal.

But comparatively, Donn prefers to call him - a natural goal machine.

He likes killers who are as ruthless as machines.

Donn was delighted to see that Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer had caused such a stir in the media. It's not just the Nottingham media that are reporting on the matter, but the sports media in England, Europe, and the world have reported on the transfer to a greater or lesser extent.

His first purpose was achieved. Why did he insist on spending fifteen million pounds to bring in Ruud van Nistelrooy. Instead of looking for younger, more potential players who are not well-known and not expensive? If it is, then it will not be able to achieve the current effect. The reaction of the media is what Donn values most.

He needs someone to put pressure on Anelka. If it weren't for the weight of the people, then there would be no threat to Anelka.

Now it's different.

He has repeatedly mentioned Van Nistelrooy as his favorite and admired striker on various occasions, and the name of Van Nistelrooy is enough to make Anelka feel uneasy.

It's been three days since the team retrained, and Anelka didn't arrive late or anything when he returned, and he was on time every day. But Don didn't take the initiative to go to him, and he didn't want to talk to Don about it. Every day except for silent training and then go back to the residence. Nothing else.

Anelka is a bit of a taciturn person in the team, so his performance is normal in the eyes of everyone. Don saw it all......

On the second day of the press conference. Ruud van Nistelrooy was present at Wilford, Nottingham Forest's training ground.

Donn personally brought Ruud van Nistelrooy with him, showing how much he values the new signing.

"Introduce you to a new friend...... Donn pointed to Van Nistelrooy standing beside him. Actually, there is no need to introduce, everyone is familiar with it, and we have been the opponent for two seasons. ”

Speaking of this, Don coughed twice: "I said everyone, revenge for revenge!" ”

Van Nistelrooy looked surprised, and the team burst into laughter.

Assistant Coach David. Chris Rac patted Van Nistelrooy on the shoulder: "Don't care, he's such a no-nonsense person. ”

Realizing that it was just a joke, Van Nistelrooy laughed too. Introducing yourself to new teammates in this way really doesn't mean anything awkward. After all, they have been opponents for two seasons, and it will be a little difficult for everyone to get out of their old roles when they meet. Don directly used a joking way to break this relationship, but it made everyone have no baggage in their hearts.

"Hello everyone, I'm going to play with you for the next four years." Van Nistelrooy greeted him generously and received an enthusiastic response from his teammates.

It was the same thing he had heard, and it was different from some of the rumors he had heard.

If one only learns about Nottingham Forest from the media, then he must be very confused – what kind of team is this?

Some media have promoted the Forest as a united team inside and out, while others have portrayed the Forest as a team with constant contradictions. Some media said that the team's head coach Tony. Donn is a young talented coach with great charisma and leadership talents, and some media believe that Tony. Donn's talented young talented coaches with leadership talents, who are considered by some media to be big, unsightly, inferior, conceited, difficult to get along with, short-tempered, often beat and abuse players, and obstruct press freedom...... Villains with bad deeds and so on.

These completely opposite and very extreme evaluations do not lead Ruud van Nistelrooy to conclude "what kind of person is Donne" or "what kind of team is Nottingham Forest", because the evaluations of the same person, the same team, are too different.

Nottingham Forest were his opponents when he played for Manchester United, and opponents were always portrayed as hateful demons. He's more biased towards bad reviews. But now as far as he could see with his own eyes, Tony. Donn isn't a weird coach to get along with, and Nottingham Forest isn't a group where everyone is intriguing and cloaking in cliques.

After being able to see it with his own eyes, he didn't believe the media's evaluation.

He thinks the atmosphere is good and he's happy to stay here for another four years.

Everyone is faced with a choice at any given time, and Van Nistelrooy thinks that maybe four years from now, he won't regret the choice he made today.

Donn woke up Van Nistelrooy from behind: "Go, get ready for training." ”

Ruud van Nistelrooy walked up to the team and was greeted by captain Albertini.

"I'm going to say what they want to say too. Welcome, opponent...... Now teammates, Luther. ”

In an atmosphere of warm welcome. Donn didn't keep his eyes on Van Nistelrooy, he was staring at Anelka.

Anelka didn't know that Donn was watching him, and his full attention was on his new teammate.

He's not stupid, and he certainly knows what the team is doing to buy a world-class striker at this time.

During the time when his agent's brother met with Benitez, his phone was not turned on, and he did it on purpose. Because he knew that Don would definitely call him, he turned off his phone. Then he thought that after the team's training camp began, Don would talk to him about it. Unexpectedly, Don ignored him completely. Instead, he bought a strong contender from the transfer market, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

It seems that Ruud van Nistelrooy is more popular with his team-mates than he was when he first joined the team......

He turned his gaze away from Ruud van Nistelrooy and turned to head coach Tony. Dawn. He saw Donn smiling and talking to the two assistant coaches, happy for the new signings?

"Tony, Anelka is watching you." Don, who was chatting, said suddenly.

Don nodded, but didn't turn his gaze to Anelka: "I know. ”

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask you. Tony. Chrislak glanced at the French shooter, but he just swept his gaze over the French shooter's face and did not stop at all, "You bought Van Nistelrooy, what are you going to do with Anelka?" ”

"Cold treated for a while. Are any clubs approaching us now to make an offer for Anelka? ”

Chrislak shook his head: "No." Liverpool really don't seem interested in Anelka, I really don't know how his two older brothers talked to each other......"

Don laughed: "Anelka and his two agent brothers are famous, and it's not easy to find a buyer who is no worse than us." ”

If Forest don't achieve the kind of results they did last season, then Anelka will have an easy time finding a new club. But the league runners-up and Champions Cup runners-up have set a high bar in Anelka's heart if he transfers again. He will certainly not accept offers from clubs that are not as successful as Forest, but those who can match Forest in terms of team quality. How many companies hope to find such a ticking time bomb?

Anelka spent a brief half-season at Liverpool on loan. His performances at Liverpool were also remarkable, and just when everyone thought Houllier would opt for a transfer contract with Nicolas Anelka at the end of the season, he abandoned the unruly goalscorer in favour of another fellow Frenchman, Cisse......

Why? The inside story behind this is unknown, but Don believes it must have something to do with Anelka's difficult personality and the two greedy brothers.

Anelka's success at Forest has suddenly made him more attractive to other teams, but it's a double-edged sword. At the same time, his personal treatment requirements have been greatly improved. In the past, he could accept the reality of playing for Manchester City, but now he is afraid that in addition to the top five. No other team can get into his eyes.

As for foreign leagues...... None of the teams in the Spanish league showed much interest in the goalscorer, nor did the Bundesliga. Perhaps only Ligue 1 is still looking forward to the quasi-world-class goalscorer who has left France, and of course, FenerbahΓ§e FC in the Turkish league are now repentant, but if they want to bring Anelka to Turkey again, it will be an impossible task.

In Serie A, after Juventus were sent to relegation, Inter Milan became the biggest benefit, not only did they get the long-lost league championship trophy, but also received a number of Juventus players, including young talent striker Ibrasimovic, plus Argentine striker Crespo on loan from Chelsea, and their original strikers Cruz and Adriano...... For others, Inter Milan is not short of strikers, and even in order to "lose weight" for the bloated striker, they also sold Martins to Newcastle.

Rome had no money to buy it.

It's AC Milan...... This is still the same as Donn recalls, Shepchenko has made the switch to Chelsea. As a result, AC Milan had to look for a striker again, and in fact they are already looking for them all over the world...... When the time comes, will they look for Oliveira, who is not suitable for Serie A at all, or Anelka...... Then it is unknown.

It's just that...... Recently, Donn heard a bit of "gossip" that Anelka's two older brothers had appeared in Milan, Italy. As for whether they were going there for tourism and shopping, or to meet someone, Tang Enke didn't know.

"All right, boys!" Chris Rac blew his whistle and walked onto the pitch while shouting, "Chat time is over, start training!" ”

The players returned to the training ground under the guidance of the two assistant coaches and the coaching staff to start a new day of training.

Don stood alone on the sidelines, putting on his sunglasses to block out the glare of the sun. No one knows who those eyes, hidden behind their sunglasses, are looking at at at this time...
