Godfather Of Champions

After Nottingham Forest passed the semifinals, Chen Jian received a ticket to the final. On the eve of the final, he received a round-trip ticket. Nottingham Forest Club arranged everything very well. Players who came to watch the team final not only did not have to worry about the return fee, but also did not have to worry about food and accommodation. The club took care of everything for them.

After they arrive in Madrid from various places, they will check in together, then go to watch the game together, and finally choose whether to return, where and when, depending on their personal circumstances.

Mr. Xia, Chen Jian's agent, has reserved his room in the hotel where Chen Jian is staying, which is more convenient. After the two of them arrived in the Spanish capital Madrid, they took a taxi to the hotel where they were staying. After the salute, Mr. Xia chatted in Chen Jian's room. Of course, in addition to the European Champions Cup final, the content of the chat is more about Chen Jian's future.

"I asked, Xiao Chen. They don't want to think about player renewals now. Everything has to wait for the finals to finish. Even Tony Dunn’s contract extension has not been signed yet..." Mr. Xia frowned on this kind of thing, his expression gloomy.

Chen Jian did not make any comments, he was somewhat silent. Regarding the future, this topic is a bit heavy. He is not good to say something hastily.

"Forget it, it's still another year..." Mr. Xia sighed, he didn't know what to do. Now we can only wait until the Champions League final is over. "Anyway, if they want to loan you to Warrendam next season, you remember to refuse. Warrendam has already been relegated to the second grade. You have learned nothing there, and you will not accumulate much experience. Up."

"Where to go?" Chen Jian asked.

"Go to Spain." Mr. Xia thought for a while, "Go to the La Liga team. In fact, if possible, letting you play in the English League is the best choice... a pity."

Yes, if you want to make greater progress in the Forest, then playing in the English league is the best. On the one hand, it allows the forest team's coaching staff to observe Chen Jian up close, and on the other hand, it allows Chen Jian to adapt to the style of English football.

By the way, Chen Jian could not get the labor license...

Since he was loaned to Warrendam, Chen Jian has been intensively hyped by the media for a period of time. During that time, his reputation in China was still very great. Chinese fans who care about Chinese football and Chinese overseas players know it. With such a young Chinese player in Volendam, the Netherlands, he may become the hope of Chinese football in the future, or he may gradually disappear and become unknown.

Although Chen Jian played in Warrendam and even though Chen Jian came from the European champion Nottingham Forest,...he was not seen by the Chinese national team. In more than two seasons, the national team has played countless times, and he has never been called up once. There is no such thing as shady stories. In fact, the national team thinks that Chen Chongli is not enough, the standard is not good, and he cannot reach the level of playing for the country.

Counting it down, there are actually a lot of overseas Chinese players who go out to play, but most of them play in low-level leagues in the middle and lower reaches of the team. There is little attention, and the level of teams and leagues is not high. The national team would rather want those players who play in China than take the risk of recruiting overseas players, because at least they are familiar with domestic players and they can gather together for training several times a year. Tacit understanding is not a problem. As for the overseas players...unless you really turn out a genius with stable performance, you may consider it.

When Dong Fangzhuo was at Manchester United, the national team gave some care in order to make up for the number of matches to apply for a labor license. Chen Jian also wanted to play for the forest team, but he didn't have the treatment of Dong Fangzhuo. Because he is not like Dong Fangzhuo, he has enough contacts and connections in the domestic football circle to help him get through the upper and lower joints.

He is just an ordinary citizen selected by the commercial draft. He has not received any club training in China before going to the forest team, nor does he know this person or other person in the domestic football circle. Although he was born with pure grass roots, he did not The bad vibes that have been contaminated with domestic football, but also let him lose the capital to climb. Naturally, no one would run around the country to get him a labor license. Mr. Xia is not a very energetic agent, otherwise he would not be Chen Jian's agent.

Unable to be selected for the national team, unable to participate in international A-level events, naturally unable to apply for a labor license, unable to play in Nottingham Forest, which is why Mr. Xia must have Chen Jian and the club showdown and leave freely. He doesn't care where Chen Jian wants to play. All he cares is that Chen Jian must play a higher level of competition and increase his popularity, so that he can make more money.

Labor certification, labor certification...this **** Premier League rule. The Football Association of England is really full and has a virtue with the Chinese Football Association!

Mr. Xia cursed viciously in his heart.

Chen Jian became even more silent at the thought of labor certification. He certainly knew that if he didn't play in the national team, he would not have the opportunity to apply for a labor license. But the national team looks down on him, what can be done? He can't run to ask others to call himself into the national team, right?

He now suddenly pinned all his hopes on Coach Tony Dunn, and he felt that this omnipotent man must have a way to get him a labor license. When he thought of the letter Mr. Dunn wrote to him, he vaguely felt that this eccentric gentleman was very special to him...

※※※

Chen Jian did not expect that he would meet Dun En so soon.

That night, when he and Mr. Xia had dinner and returned from shopping, they found that the floor they were staying on was very lively. The players who lived in the adjacent rooms and belonged to the Forest team but were all rented out gathered in the corridor. They surrounded a person. Chen Jian must be familiar with that person, because it was Tony Dunn.

"Why did he come?" Mr. Xia next to him obviously didn't expect to see Dun En here.

Dunn just finished chatting with several other players. With a smile on his face, he looked like an old friend who could be approached at will. He can call out the names of every player here, and he knows where they are and how they performed on loan this season. This makes the players very happy. Dunn grabbed the hearts of some people again. If one or two of them can finally advance to the forest first team, then they will definitely become Tony Dunn's most loyal supporters.

Chen Jian did not move forward, but stood and watched quietly from a distance.

When Dun En ended his conversation with those people, he turned his head and saw Chen Jian standing in the distance.

"I went to find you first, but you weren't there." Tang En stepped up to communicate with Chen Jian in Chinese. The people next to him couldn't understand them, so they had to go back to the room.

"Mr. Xia and I ate and went shopping..." Chen Jian introduced his agent to Dun En.

Mr. Xia held Dun En's hand and wanted to say something, but Dun En gagged his mouth first. He looked at Chen Jian and continued, "I want to hear your thoughts, Chen Jian. Do you want to stay in the forest team or go elsewhere?"

Mr. Xia winked at Chen Jian from the side, hoping that Chen Jian could choose to "go elsewhere."

Chen Jian said: "Of course I want to stay in the forest team to play, but I can't get a labor license..."

Dunn nodded. This kid is telling the truth. He never thought that the Chinese national team’s vision was quite high, but the Chen Jian they liked was not. For more than two seasons, almost three years later, Chen Jian has not even played a national team game, even The national youth team has never participated in the game. The big list is missing.

"How about it, do you think about changing the nationality I said?" Tang En stared at Chen Jian with a smile.

Chen Jian shook his head like a rattle.

"Then I choose to play elsewhere, Mr. Dunn. Anyway, the contract ends in one year, and the club won't offer a new contract for someone like me?"

Such an answer is what Mr. Xia wants. He now looked at Dun En with anticipation, hoping that Chen Jian's unnegotiable remarks would successfully provoke Dun En, and then the furious Dun En decided to let Chen Jian leave freely after the contract expired.

But he was disappointed.

The smile on Dun En's face was even greater. He seemed to like to tease this young man, just because this kid was extra stubborn.

"Well, actually, Chen Jian. I am here this time to provide you with a new contract...a new four-year contract."

Without waiting for what Chen Jian said, Mr. Xia couldn't wait to stand up: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang En. Can I bother you? You provide Chen Jian with a new contract, but how can his labor certification be resolved?"

"On loan to Holland or Belgium..."

Hearing Dun En's words, Mr. Xia looked back at Chen Jian, the kid had no expression on his face, and he himself was extremely disappointed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dunn. I don't think my player can continue to drift like this. He is 23 years old. If he can't get the first team position in your team, then we would rather find him a new company. The team that gave him this position, even in the second European league."

Tang En glanced at Chen Jian and found that his expression hadn't changed much. It seemed that the agent was making the decision.

So he raised his finger to the agent and said: "I offer Chen Jian several options: First, continue to play in the Netherlands, reach the length of residence for becoming a Dutch citizen, become an EU citizen, and automatically obtain a labor license; second, Marry a British wife, change nationality, obtain British nationality, and even save the labor certificate; 3. To play on behalf of the Chinese national team to the standard of applying for a labor certificate, obtain a labor certificate; 4. Appeal through a special genius clause and obtain a labor certificate ."

Dunn raised his four fingers and showed them to Mr. Xia one by one: "These four choices are harder than one. Chen Jian has lived in the Netherlands for three years, and in two more years, he can apply for Dutch citizenship. By then he is considered a citizen of the European Union. He does not need a labor license to participate in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest can naturally call him back to play football. At that time, he was only twenty-five years old, which was the golden age."

"Marrying a British wife is very personal. I can't give Chen Jian any advice."

"Third, the call of the national team...You haven't played for the Chinese team for a minute, right? Chen Jian."

Chen Jian nodded: "No."

"Maybe you can in the future, but it is absolutely impossible to apply for a labor license for you now." Tang En said with a straight face and vividly told how cruel this reality is.

"Fourth, special genius clause... To be honest, Chen Jian, you do not meet the requirements of this clause at all. You have not participated in the national team competition, and you have not been selected for the national youth team. Your growth experience cannot be seen. For any taste of genius, I can't find any famous football player to testify for you... Your materials are unconvincing, and the final result is only rejected by the FA."

What Dunn said was the truth, but it didn't sound like a taste in Mr. Xia's ears...

"Since Chen Jian has so little potential in your eyes, why did you tell him to abandon everything and come to England?"

Dunn hates this agent a bit, so his tone of voice is not so friendly: "I made it clear to Chen Jian at the beginning, and coming to the UK does not mean that he will be successful. I just gave him a chance, but he I can't help at all if I can realize my dream."

Mr. Xia who said this was speechless.

"The master leads the door, and the practice is personal." Tang En said a Chinese proverb. "I gave Chen Jian a chance. Chen Jian, you have also successfully played professional football, but you are not satisfied with this. You still want to pursue greater pursuits. As for where you can reach... the decision is yours, Chen Jian . Whether you finally decide to leave Nottingham Forest to play for another team, or agree to renew and continue to wait for the opportunity, I have no problem. That is your way, you have to choose your own way."

Dunn looked at Chen Jian.

"You can call me when you think about it." Dunn stuffed a business card into Chen Jian's hand, and walked to the elevator alone.

After Dunn disappeared into the elevator door, Chen Jian was still in a daze with his business card in his hand.

Mr. Xia frowned next to him and said: "Did you see, Xiao Chen? They didn't take you seriously. I said don't wait here silly and waste your youth. What's the point of renewing the contract for four years or renting out? You will always be a marginal figure. Waiting for you to reach the end... Can you reach the end? What if you get the labor license? Well, even if you perform in the next two years, all of a sudden, the group of people from the Chinese Football Association Open your eyes, they recruit you to join the team, play the main force, make up enough games, and then get the labor certification, how old are you two years later? Twenty-five. You just got the labor certification, do you think you really have Ability to compete with George Wood, Gago and others for the main position? Do you think those big clubs have played in a lineup for ten years? Wouldn't they look for players younger and more talented than you to train? When will the day be the head?"

Mr. Xia gets more and more excited as he speaks. If Chen Jian decides to stay in the forest team, his financial path will basically end.

"Don't be silly, Chen Jian. The English guy's lie sounds beautiful. Everyone can tell the truth. Do you know what he thinks? He lied to you for four years, and he wants to lie to you for another four years! China! It’s already very difficult for players to land in England, let alone a championship team? Listen to me, honestly, down to earth...Shall we play in another place?"

Mr. Xia looked at Chen Jian sincerely.

Chen Jian frowned. He felt a headache. He was instilled with so many things at once, and his brain hurts.

"Sorry, Uncle Xia. I have a headache... Let me rest and think about it?" Chen Jian rubbed his temples with a pained expression.

Mr. Xia sighed: "Okay. I won't bother you anymore. You should rest early. Let's talk about it after watching tomorrow's game."

※※※

Chen Jian was lying on the bed alone, tossing about and couldn't sleep. He felt that what Mr. Tang En and Mr. Xia said were reasonable, but who should he listen to? His parents didn't know anything about professional football and couldn't help him in this regard. He didn't need to ask his parents for their opinions.

You have to make choices on your own.

He wanted to succeed in the Forest team, but Mr. Xia's words seemed to pour cold water on him-even if he got the labor license, he could finally play for the Forest team. Did the Forest team still need him to play at that time? New geniuses emerge every day in the world of football. Will Dunn wait for him for a few years? This is impossible, and he is not the protagonist in the novel.

So where to go?

He really didn't know.

The seventeen-year-old who originally wanted to play professional football never had such troubles in his mind. People are constantly growing, and ideals are also growing. Today, he is not satisfied with the simple dream of just playing in a professional league. He also wants to play in a higher level league. He wants to become a star, not a meteor.

Regardless of the background of Nottingham Forest, can you play in an Eredivisie or League One team for a few years? Isn’t it possible that it will sink completely, slowly getting worse and worse, and in the end simply go to a lower league, and then no one remembers himself? Later, he ran back to China and went to the Chinese League A and B League to have a meal. Recalling that short time in the Nottingham Forest a few years ago, I don't know how to feel. Is it numb, or unwilling, doubting it is regret?

※※※

To ensure a clear brain tomorrow, Dunn went to bed early to rest. He did not receive a call from Chen Jian until he fell asleep. He also didn't take this matter to heart, because it was not something he should worry about. The future of a young Chinese player has little to do with him.

He only has tomorrow's final in his mind.

That was the most important day in his life. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
