Chapter 51: The Broker (II)

After an FA Cup knockout of Nods County to win his first derby in charge of Forest, Donn was in a good mood. To keep him in a good mood, SI will hold a press conference in London to officially announce the partnership with Nottingham Forest, and invite Tony? Coach Don became the face of their company's "Football Manager" series (FM).

After the press conference, Donn rushed to shoot his first advertising photoshoot. Because we can't delay the team's normal training, we have to do it all in one day.

Shania had already rushed back to Newcastle ahead of the FA Cup, and her Christmas holiday was over. Otherwise, Don would have wanted to bring her with him to this press conference.

Guests from Nottingham were first taken to the company's headquarters in Esslington, north London, where they were given a tour of the small but world-renowned football game production company. For Evan? Dogotty and Alan? For Adams, it's just a formality, and they just nod their heads or make surprises at the right time, no matter how much they know about the game, they can't compare to Tony, who is in the same company. Dawn.

For an FM player, it's worth looking forward to being able to go inside the company that made the game and see for yourself how they developed it. That's exactly what Don is. He showed more interest than Evan and Allen, and didn't look like he was pretending at all.

After introducing the strength of their company to Don En, they ensured the quality of the database they wanted. The group went straight to the press conference.

It is the first time in the history of English football that a professional football club and a football game production company have engaged in such a commercial partnership with such fanfare, so it has attracted a lot of media attention. And the news that Donn is going to serve as the image spokesperson of the FM series has also been spread in advance, a Premier League coach endorses a game, how can this kind of new thing get the attention of the British paparazzi?

The press conference was packed.

After the usual rhetoric, the two sides announced a strategic partnership and signed a cooperation contract in front of reporters. Although this kind of cooperation is the first one, there is nothing surprising about it, and the interests are united. The next part is the highlight of what the media is looking forward to:

SI have announced that they will be inviting Nottingham Forest manager Tony? Donn is the face of their latest football manager game FM series, and from now on the cover and game screen of FM will have an extra image of a man, and that person is Tony? Dawn. And in the game Tony? Don will be an active figure, and unlike coaches who are just sets of stats, he will have more freedom and will do a lot of things that are in line with Tony? Donn's real surname. For example, after a player fights Donn and defeats him, he may say "We're being annihilated", when you want to buy George from the game? Wood, Donn will tell you "don't talk unless you can come up with the UK's GDP for the past year"...... Of course, these changes will not be implemented until the next game, FM06.

“…… I think I'll play and then choose to coach Nottingham Forest and see which club I'm going to be squeezed into in the game. It must be a wonderful feeling to go against yourself. ”

Donn's words amused everyone in the room.

When asked why he chose Tony? When Coach Don was the image spokesperson, the person in charge of SI said this: "...... We followed Forest in the transfer market last summer and then spotted a striking coincidence. That's Tony? Donn's vision of people is very consistent with the vision of our game producers, at that time FM05 was not on sale, but the new demons in the game can always be valued by Mr. Donn. Maybe that's not the right thing to say, but I can't think of a more appropriate way to say that FM is a virtual computer of a real football environment, and Mr. Donn is playing FM in real football. ”

Don listened to the other party's compliments with a smile on his face, and said in his heart, "That's right, I'm just playing FM!" ”

At the end of the press conference, the reporters did not disperse, and they had to follow Don to shoot the advertisement. The SI didn't stop this kind of behavior, and for them, this was a free publicity opportunity, so how could they give it up?

When Don was posing on the set as the photographer had requested, even though the door was closed and nothing could be seen, there were still a large number of reporters outside, waiting for Don to come out for an interview.

To be honest, Don is enjoying his life as he is. Most of his original wishes have been fulfilled - to become a real football coach, to be a public figure, to be followed by people in everything he says and does, and some people hate him and some like him...... But he was still calm inside, and he knew how it all came to be.

To cement this life, he has to lead the team to win and win trophies. He had seen too many examples of today's scenery and tomorrow's forgotten people, and he didn't want to be a loser like that.

He's got a lot of wins to come, a lot of trophies to go to, a lot of stronger opponents to play against, and he's just getting started.

※※※ This day is the first day of the Forest team's resumption of training after the FA Cup, there is a rare trace of the sun in the sky, just finished shooting the first advertisement in his life, Donn is in a good mood, on the way to the Don Lai Wilford base also bought a newspaper with his photo, walking while reading, and when they reached their destination, he also finished reading the newspaper report about Donn's trip to London yesterday.

Say goodbye to Don on Wilford Lane, one to the north and one to the south.

The weather was good and the mood was good, so instead of going straight to the training ground, Don went around and went to see Eastwood first.

"Hey, boss! Good morning! Eastwood beckoned to Done, holding a newspaper with his picture on it.

Even though Eastwood has become a star in everyone's attention, he still lives in a caravan in the training base and doesn't feel that what he has done is commensurate with his status as a star. He doesn't care what other people talk about him, and Don is glad he has these clear-headed players on his team.
